AN: Hey like I said I'm going to try to update when it comes to this and TRAFH. As you know Demons of Paradise is a super natural maybe I might give you a profile on the story if I can think of a plot. I was thinking something along the lines of Game of Thrones when it comes to plot, but with my own twist. All this minus the incest and the rape no one needs that.

Disclaimer: Does not own Mai-Hime.

Warning: Futa-Shiz/Nat Demon themes, different POV for this chapter. Maybe some typos if so sorry. I'll correct them ASAP.

As Shizuru trailed the halls of she stumbled as Haruka left her in the dust as she used her power she made a supernatural leap to jump in front of Haruka. "W-Wait come on do we really need to call my father for this situation?" As Haruka glared at Shizuru she had no idea why Shizuru was so nervous well she could think of a few good reasons. It was known that Shizuru's father was a big bigot when it came to humans. Although, on serval occasions had a knack of having sex and sometimes knocking up human women. It wasn't uncommon for demons to have sex with humans, before the the arrangement of princesses and Knights. Such as the seasons times changed and the Vatican grew, when it came to feelings and the act of sex it was a entirely different ball-game when it came to Haruka and her kind. "Well we don't know how handle this situation, this isn't so clear cut as the crusades. I really don't want to be banished back home although we were sentenced here still I don't want to handle this the wrong way. Don't forget we still don't know what the result is for that little massacre you did at that church. Besides if we have to go back I wouldn't like Yukino to would follow me there."

"Ara you never know, Yukino may want to follow you."

"You know my father and yours will send her to hell based on the soul fact that she is a human! This isn't a game! We both know we have sent our fair share of humans and Dethroned Knights there! Why would we send Yukino or even Natsuki to that place!"

"Well that's why we have to break Natsuki out and end this, and with little trouble as possible." As the two walked within the halls they passed down the light brown halls.

"Actually I can do that you dear cousin can't. Question after all these years how does it feel to wield you power again?" As Shizuru opened her mouth to speak she stopped mid-stride as she looked to the tall mirror within the royal halls. With Haruka looking as well a mirror as it blurred. From the deformed image red came from it as if were being burned from the other side as chunks of glass turned into liquid. Shizuru knew the presence behind the mirror seeing as it was demonic like her aura. As the melting mirror stopped as the lava-like red turned from a distorted reflective clear to a stormy hardened black. As form of something slipped from the blackness as it threatened to slip out of the mirror. The form looked like Shizuru did just hours ago its large wings flapped shattering the dark glass fragments pushing Shizuru and Haruka to the wall.

Shizuru knew the scent that she smelled it was a scent that she had not smelled in over fie-hundred years. It was deeply coated with the smell of blood and sulfur from the fires of Hell. His skin pitch black like his wings his long hair once gold now white like gray. His large fangs out and red jewels looking at her, his demon form much like Shizuru's or her form more like his. Many called him Cain, many called him Lucifer, Shizuru called him father. "Ara father what brings you in," asked Shizuru while helping herself and Haruka up.

"You know why I'm here Lilith."

"That's not my name it's Shizuru," hissed Shizuru fangs out.

"That was your grandmothers name, and besides you look more European than anything so far from "Shizuru."

"Who cares why are you here, I can safe Natsuki myself!"

"With what power? Those corrupted ones will strike you as soon as you arrive at their doorstep, actually I'm here to offer you something."

"I have a plan! I don't need your something!"

"Then why was Haruka going to call on me; you girls haven't called on me in over hundreds of years."

"About that uncle...I-"

"You just had to open your big mouth! I mean really Haruka my dads way of "helping" is killing off all of mankind!"

"Yes accept the virgins," he added. With Shizuru rolling his eyes she hated her father for his hypocrisy; this was why Shizuru hated talking to the man she called father. "Would you just leave me alone! Look this was all mistake Haruka didn't have any intention of calling you up here. Besides, don't you need some sort of permission slip?"

"No I don't...I travel where I please. Now I've been hearing talk about your little "human problem" why not leave her to the hypocrites. I mean I'll see them soon in Hell anyways, the delirious little sins they've created in the name of "God." Look when I sent you two up here, I had a goal when I made that pact with him. It was for you two require souls, instead you decided to stick your nose into their human game. It seems like you've let your personal feelings cloud both your judgment over the years. So thanks to your little killing spree Shizuru the contact has been forfeited. Instead of gathering souls you will come back and your humans with you in the next fourty-eight hours."

"W-What you can't do that!"

"Yes I can you have failed to require souls, besides your Grandfather misses you Lilith."

"Ugh for the second time thats not my name! Natsuki is not coming nor is Yukino! Look if you want souls we can get you souls, but don't take Natsuki and the rest of us!"

"You have fourty-eight hours to get six-hundred and sixty-six souls if not everyone goes back is that understood! Lilith, Elizbethé?" With Haruka rolling her eyes the two hated there names and seeing as they weren't children, it was annoying to process that they've been reduced to children. As the glass reshaped itself to it's original form as Shizuru watched as her father stepped back into the mirror a blaze of fire appeared as he stepped into it disappearing. Glaring at their now present reflections. Shizuru now knew what Haruka was saying when didn't want Yukino to follow her back. Thinking about it the place they called home it wasn't designed for humans. If Natsuki didn't manage to get put in the fires of hell the court would manage to rip her apart. The pit of Shizuru's stomach sank deeper she couldn't let this happen from that her anger exploded. "What the fuck! He just comes in here like that and says this kind of shit to us," Shizuru yelled out.

"Yeah that was not the help I was expecting and why did he say my name? I mean kill a few virgins for some blood and I'm the scum of the earth!"

"Better than being named after you grandmother who refused a whole garden! A whole fucking garden! I really can't stand them! So what do we do, get those souls," questioned Shizuru

"I don't know I mean its innocent people and we aren't really within full power up here. I can't believe it really now my dad and yours wants us back after all this time bad timing. I'm sure your father wouldn't allow this maybe he's jerking you around, I can only hope."

"Come on its my father and its your uncle Cain! I mean he murders for a fucking living, like we can trust he's just joking around! Remember his first idea of a "joke."

"Yeah poor Abel didn't have a chance. You would think humans would be able to see the difference between an illusion?"

"Still dad didn't have to do that. I mean messing with humans memories and desires. If Adam and Eve were alive today and knew that Cain wasn't their son and they were under the influence of Lucifers son. They would roll in their unknown graves. What about uncle Sariel?"

"My dad, I don't know last I heard grandpa Lu has him held up. I mean we could use his help he knows more about deals and things like that. Lets call him it seems like the smarter choice."

"Well you call him and I'll save Natsuki."

"W-Wait right now!"

"Yeah I mean we do have fourty-eight hours!"

"Well how are you going to find her!"

"Location spell..."

"You know that takes energy, and as you know we don't have much of that here, you could die."

"Yes I know that, besides that little visit father gave me it provided enough energy for what I need. Still there are somethings we are missing."

"No way... we can do this in a much cleaner method. Wait I'll get my father on the line ASAP."

"Yeah how I mean the location spell is all we got when it comes to finding Natsuki.

"That's fine, but what about those souls?"

"Well bring them to me I can use them in the location spell. The more evil the person the more demonic power I can channel. With their deaths the soul counts got to go up."

"Hmmm...Wait you said soul count I got it, wait here." As Shizuru looked strangely at her cousin she wondered to what she was up to. Crossing her arms in an authoritative manner; she barely could put up the act as she looked like a clueless child from moments ago. She knew that moments of war were more in Haruka's field of range. Not counting the Crusades, still it was a bloody past she wanted to put behind her. It was a past they all wanted to put behind them, still this plan had to work. "What are you going to do?"

"My dear cousin I'm going to get us those six-hundred and sixty six souls no mass execution needed."

"Ok so what do I do until you get back and how long will you be gone?"

"I will be back in an hour just come upstairs in two hours they should be there. As well as if you're going to go back into the room with the others DONT touch or plan anything. We all know your a crappy planner when it comes to matters in war." Crossing her arms she felt like the youngest out of the two although she was the eldest. As Haruka spun on her heel to walk off Shizuru felt the need to speak, the words would be few still the held weight in their meaning. "You know it's so funny how the world sees us as loveless creatures, and here we are trying to save the loves of our lives. Seems like our love for the humans we have chosen to mate with rivals that of God." As Haruka stopped in her tracks at the the comment she didn't turn around before she spoke. "It's simple our grandfather came from God how could we not love humans as much as he?"

"Now that I can agree on," smirked Shizuru. As she watched Haruka head down the halls turning on her heel she went in the opposite direction. Looking at the tall walls and painted ceilings it looked like something from the sistine chapel, but with far less art. It was everything Shizuru had came to know about her history painted on the very walls and ceilings she stood under. Thinking to what was beyond what was above her. It was crazy to believe that college students were above it all, oblivious to what went on under. Thinking to Natsuki and her life up top and her own, it seemed impossible to live normally. Walking and going to the right what Shizuru thought to what her father said as it weighed down on her. As she slid down on the wall she sat as the it dawned on her her father was right. The best option for Natsuki seemed like her home. She knew she would have to explain to father to let her stay within her realm, still his choice seemed more appealing.

What life could I possibly have with Natsuki here? Natsuki where are you! Please answer me...I need you...

S-Shizuru... Feeling her chest something strange happened as if something were blooming in her chest, feeling it along with her shock it beat again. Is that my...no it can't be its Natsuki's! Natsuki! Where are you? Shizuru got up and looked around as the voices grew louder then stopped. Falling to her knees she lost contact as she sat on her hands and knees as tears came forward. Why can't I find you!

You can find her...

W-What was that, who are you? As she looked around the the voice within her head now she felt herself to be crazy although her ability came as natural as breathing. Still the beating in her chest came to life, and she didn't know what it was. You know who I am you always knew, you're blood of my blood. We were once two now we are one. Family, but of different origin. The once missing heart of you, now my heart. Setting a hand to her chest there seemed to be a real heart within the squence of heart beats there was only one person that she knew of who had a sequence of heart beats such as this.

Asgai Kuga is that you?

AN: Well I think that's a great place to end it off, now I need to work on Behind Prison Bars. Some of it is already written, still I don't think that chapter is finished yet. So what will Asgai tell Shizuru? Wait and Shizuru has a heart, what mysteries will unfold.

For those who don't know some people see Cain as Satan/Lucifers first son. As for Shizuru she was named Lilith after her grandmother Lilith in mythology she was Adams first wife. As for Haruka she was named Elizabeth the Blood Queen, both of them changed their names due to the times and adaptation in the human world.
