Sawayo slowly opened her eyes to a dark room. Bars blocked the doors and she lay in a padded room. She quickly sealed in her powers and jumped to her feet. A small opening in the door let in a little light but a dark haired man stood infront of it.

"Hello? What am I doing in here?" Sawayo said holding onto the bars. The young man turned around dark purple hair sprung out of the front of his cap.

"Hello, so you've woken? Don't worry I'm getting you out along with a few other artifacts on the way," he grinned dazzling her with an award winning smile. Sawayo pretended not to be affected by it and glared at the youth who she guessed to be just older than her.

"Where am I?"

"In a scientific research institute,"

"WHAT!"

"Yeah I know, you look pretty normal to me," Sawayo shrugged her shoulders at that comment and let down her shield for a second.

"Nice wings baby but I've got my own surprises," he swung a dark feather at the door shattering it as it impacted.

"Hmm, as good as expected for someone of your stature but I'm surprised," Sawayo said blandly putting on her ice queen composure.

"So who's this brother of yours? You kept saying his name over and over while you were out, saying you were sorry and stuff? What happened?" Sawayo face blanched at this question but kept running beside the dark stranger who she uncomfortably noticed was taller than her.

"Where are we exactly?" Sawayo answered completely changing the subject

"We are on the tip of a small island on the top of the North Island of Japan,"

"Long way to go then, I live at the bottom of the South Island,"

"Yeah a long way to go, here's our stop off just got to get a small souvenir," he grinned as he ducked his way into a small room. He came back out with a large bird shaped, lead statue.

"That looks heavy want some help?" Sawayo asked holding out her hands.

"It would be to heavy for you if I can barely hold it,"

"Oh really?" Sawayo bumped the boy making him lose grip on the bird, it fell but before it hit the floor Sawayo scooped it up and poised it above her head perfectly balanced on one finger.

"Okay I guess, let's go," he grinned running ahead of her. Sawayo sighed this boy was proving to be much like her brother. Sawayo ran after him.

The two escaped the institute with a number of objects running away from the building through the night.

"So wanna go home?" the boy said stopping under a large tree. He took off his cap letting a large spray of long dark purple hair bounce free. Purple eyes gazed intently into hers as he undid the military uniform. Underneath was a skin hugging body suit that looked like a type of armour but moved with his body like a second skin. Sawayo noticed that he was quite well muscled though not buff, he was tall and long legged with a very self satisfied and confident, smile and posture.

"So?" Sawayo realised she was staring and lightly blushed though her face didn't change.

"I can go now if you want, but, what is the name of my rescuer?" Sawayo asked cautiously as he leaned down.

"I am the legendary phantom thief Dark," he said snapping his fingers, a large pair of black wings appeared on his back. He smiled smugly but Sawayo looked confused, his eyes widened.

"You've never heard of me have you?" Sawayo shook her head.

"Never,"

"Never?"

"I said never," Sawayo answered coldly.

"Well I'm famous for my thievery around these parts, I leave a note and steal what I came for no matter what and so far no one's been able to catch me, so who are you? You cant have been put in their for being the most beautiful creature on earth because that's inhumane," he smiled, Sawayo smiled and let her shield down. Dark openly stared at her as her beauty was doubled tenfold in her demon/miko form.

"My name is Sawayo Inutashio one of a pair of twins, my brother is Sawamura Inutashio. I am a demon/miko and my brother and I under our alias of Moon & Bane do what you do in the bottom half of Japan,"

"So I guess as a demon/miko thing you can get back to your home by yourself?"

"Yes I can but," she paused "I wouldn't mind the company," Sawayo flew gracefully into the air soon followed by Dark…

"MUM DAD I'M HOME," Sawayo shouted as she landed in her backyard. Kagome ran out crying to her daughter hugging her around the shoulders. Inuyasha followed but soon had his hackles raised at the sight of Dark. Claws extended, Dark drew a feather from his wings waiting for the impending fight.

"Dad this is Dark, Dark this is my dad, now STOP IT THIS INSTANT!" Sawayo shouted stopping the pair as they went into battle mode.

"Dad how's brother?"

"He's gotten better but he's still a bit weak at the moment,"

"Is he out of bed?"

"No not yet, Kagome butted in.

"Oh yeah Dark this is my mum,"

"I can see where you get your looks," Dark crooned kissing Kagome on the cheek. Inuyasha began to growl again crouching down low. Kagome blushed before glaring a warning at Inuyasha. He reluctantly sheathed his sword.

"So can I see him?"

"Sure he's up but don't try to get him up, he's just like his father," Kagome sighed turning back toward the house. Sawayo started to follow her parents into the house only to be stopped by a hand gripping her arm.

"So I guess I'll go now," Dark said looking into Sawayo's eyes. Sawayo looked up at him smiling.

"Its okay you don't have to leave, I want you to meet my brother anyway," Sawayo laughed dragging the surprised thief into the house.

Sawamura sat in bed throwing scrunched up pieces of paper into his bin before Sawayo jumped into his room.

"SAWAMURA!" Sawayo shouted at her brother. Sawamura smiled hugging his sister back, he frowned as he saw Dark enter the room.

"Oh yeah brother, this is Dark, Dark this is Sawamura," Sawamura's eyes flashed red and he began to growl.

"So? Why is he in here?" Sawamura growled. He shot a glare at Sawayo. Sawayo sighed walking over to Dark tucking a hand around his waist.

"Rephrase, Sawamura meet my BOYFRIEND Dark," Sawamura's eyes opened wide before smiling at the newcomer.

"Sorry, I don't like stray guys hitting on my sister, but if she thinks your good enough for her your good enough for me," Sawamura let down his guard before smiling a toothy grin. They shook hands but before they let go he made a mind warning to Dark But if you ever and I mean EVER hurt my sister just watch your back. Dark grinned at the cautious brother. Don't worry I really don't think she'd let me Dark mind signaled back. Sawayo watched and heard the two talk to each other, happy that they were finally getting on. She just hoped that Dark didn't get any ideas with being her boyfriend around Sawamura. As they left the room Dark pushed Sawayo against a wall.

"You're boyfriend right? Where did that come from?" Dark asked a smile playing on his lips.

"Well he would have killed you other wise," Sawayo said her stone face on as she was getting extremely uncomfortable being in such close contact with Dark, an extremely HOT Dark.

"Well we better get things moving hey," Dark grinned pressing Sawayo's lips into a passionate kiss. Sawayo's eyes flew open but she relaxed into the kiss and surprised herself by wrapping her arms around Dark's head pulling him closer.

"I don't want to interrupt but if your father saw you doing that I think he'd have a fit," Kagome coughed. Sawayo pushed Dark away keeping her face dead straight only a light pink showing she was embarrassed.

"Dark I was wondering, tomorrow is school for these two and it would be pretty boring and vexing for the twins dad for you to stay here, would you mind going with them?" Kagome said setting her washing on the stairs.

"Sure Kagome, I'll go just to be with Sawayo," Dark smiled pulling Sawayo into his chest. To Kagome's surprise she didn't pull away but seemed to sink in further to his touch.

"Well I'll get some of Sawamura's clothes for you, it is 7:30 you know," Sawayo quickly jumped out of Dark's arms jumping into the room opposite Sawamura's.

"You can get changed with Sawamura okay," Kagome said pushing open her sons door.

"HEY MUM GETTING CHANGED!" Sawamura shouted at his mother.

"SO? I'VE SEEN YOU NAKED BEFORE AND DARKS GETTING CHANGED IN YOUR ROOM," Kagome shouted back slamming the door on the two teenaged boys'.

Soon after three teens were walking down the road, Dark holding Sawayo close with Sawamura a smile pulling on his lips at his sister's boyfriend.

"So Dark, how's Sawayo treating you? Last boyfriend she had split up with her after one hour," Sawamura laughed hitting Darks back.

"She's cute, adorable and level headed its not as if I can see what mood she's in but I'm sure I can make her feel better," Dark laughed looking down into Sawayo's hair.

"Yeah as a punching bag," Sawayo growled slapping Dark. A small red handprint showed up on Dark's smiling face.

"Hah I'm glad you've taken my place, OW!" A small red handprint ended up on Sawamura's face to making Dark laugh. Sawayo couldn't help but feel a sense of uplifting at that laugh a smile brushing over her lips.

"You look very pretty when you smile Sawayo," Dark whispered leaning into Sawayo's ear biting the top. Sawayo shivered leaning into Dark more. Sawamura punched his distracted sister in the arm signaling they had gotten to school.

It was lunch and Sawayo was fully sick of all the girls fawning over her brother and boyfriend. Although both needed sharp reprimands both were sitting either side of her during lunch.

"So sister, whats for lunch?" Sawamura said peering into her lunch bag.

"Lay off it its mine," Sawayo growled pulling the bag from his grasp.

"Oh come on babe just a bit," Dark crooned pulling Sawayo and her lunch bag closer.

"Do you want another slap?" Sawayo said back total and utter disinterest on her face. Dark grinned before pulling Sawayo into a deep kiss. Sawayo's eyes flew open as he pulled her face toward him. A hush went through the school as Sawayo began to kiss back letting go of her lunch bag.

"I GOT IT!" Sawamura shouted jumping onto the chair before looking in it.

"Oh this just aint cool, why does mum give you all the good stuff?" Sawamura continued as the couple began open mouth kissing. A shout went as a punch was aimed at Darks head. Sawayo broke the kiss as Dark dodged the flying fist.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Kobayashi shouted glaring at Dark.

"Kissing my girlfriend what do you think?" Dark answered coldly standing. Unbelievably no one had noticed Dark that day but now all eyes were on the two except for few jealous ones glaring at the stone faced Sawayo.

"Kissing MY girlfriend I think," Kobayashi growled back. Dark looked down at Sawayo.

"You really expect me to believe that this beautiful creature would go out with you?" Dark crooned smiling at Kobayashi. A sigh went through the female audience.

"Kobayashi you are nice to me but really you aren't my boyfriend," Sawayo tried to clear up the mess.

"So? You see the first pretty boy that comes along and dump me for someone new?" Kobayashi snapped. Sawayo's eyes flashed red only for a second.

"I get the blame now I see," Sawayo looked back down to the table a cold aura emanating off her body "You who doubles every girl you go out with at least twice during both relationships, who just cant WAIT to get into the pants of any passing girl, you have the audacity to think that I would ever go out with YOU! A SELF CENTRED ASSHOLE WHO HAS NO MORE MORAL THAN A WHORE!" by now Sawayo was standing, shouting and glaring angrily at the scared Kobayashi her eyes were now defiantly red and her hold on her illusion was slipping fast.

"Sawayo calm down, I have a feeling in a second you're going to cause more damage than can be repaired," Sawamura whispered pulling on his sister's arm. Sawayo looked down at him and calmed considerably she leaned over to Dark and for the first time offered herself to the surprised male who accepted gladly. She then promptly fell asleep in his arms.

"I suggest the next time you pick a fight with the poor girl you pick it with me okay?" Dark growled grabbing Kobayashi's collar. Kobayashi nodded quickly before running from the trio. As soon as the crowd had died down Sawamura patted Dark on the back.

"Well I have to say that I'm glad you're lookin after her, she's the one who usually looks after me,"

"Well she is a cute one," Dark said pushing back her hair.

"Welcome home," Kagome beamed at the three teens as they walked in the door.

"Thanks mum,"

"Yeah thanks mum,"

"Thank you Mrs. Takahashi,"

"I got you some," Kagome stopped there as both of her twins were already at the table with their dad scoffing down the noodles set there.

"Are they always like this?" Dark mused watching the suddenly ravenous teens.

"With ramen yes, seems all demons cant get enough," Kagome sighed as she moved the large empty pot off the table.

"Oh and Sesshoumaru's coming over today," Inuyasha said after finishing his fourth bowl.

"I haven't seen him in ages, probably wants me to go over the lands again," Sawayo groaned.

"AND get a nice demon mate for your self," Sawamura added laughing as his sister slumped into the table.

"Mate? Isn't she to young?" Dark said looking toward them both.

"She is over 500," Inuyasha growled. Sawayo glared at her fathers comment. Dark turned back to Sawayo with wide eyes.

"Is that true?"

"Actually I turned 536 last January,"

"Well that's a pleasant surprise, I'm turning 598 in December," he sighed.

"You don't look like a demon," Kagome said.

"That's because I'm not, I'm a spirit guide of sorts," Dark said proudly (Spirit Guides are higher than demons but not stronger)

"Yeah a sort that steals," Inuyasha growled again.

"Well its not as if your family has no blemish on its name, you for one had an infatuation with the living dead,"

"Got over it, after you think about it she is one freaky bitch,"

"You really did not want to go to hell with her, god she is foul,"

"Will you stop talking about Kikyo?" Kagome growled at the two men. They smiled sheepishly at the black aura surrounding Kagome. Just then the doorbell rang.

"Oh that must be Sesshoumaru now," Kagome said quickly leaving the now deadly quite living area.

"Who is this Sesshoumaru guy anyway?" Dark said sitting down on a chair.

"He's my uncle, and I'm his heir as he and Rin have decided that their children need a chance to grow and not ne hounded by demons, unlike me," Sawayo groaned slumping back onto the table.

"He's a taiyoukai from 500 years in the past and Lord of the Eastern Lands," Sawamura laughed.

"THAT Sesshoumaru, wow you must have suitors climbing all over you," Dark said looking curiously at Sawayo.

"Yeah if I have to deal with one more friggen proposal or kidnap I'm going to tear my heart out with my own hands," Sawayo growled, but sat up straight as Sesshoumaru entered the room.
