Shi: Yeah well…it's our punishment…

Kat: Yeah.

Aki: WHY I OUTTA!

Kat and Shi: AHHHH! (runs away)

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Everyone walked into the temple, it was a quiet day because no one wanted to say something to make it worse, Mizuki kept herself locked up in her room and Aki was sitting in the living room, staring at the ceiling, it wasn't like her to be quiet for hours straight.

"You alright?" Kurama asked, Aki didn't hear him because she was to engrossed in her thoughts. "Aki!" Kurama yelled, Aki looked over.

"What?" she asked.

"You ok? It's not like you of all people to be quiet for this long." Kurama said.

"Yeah…I'm fine. I'm gonna go out for a lil' while, don't worry I'll come back." Aki added as she got up out of the chair was sitting in and walked to the door. Soon she was gone and off to do what she had left to do.

"Where'd Aki go?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"She said she had to go do something and she was being quiet, I think something's wrong." Kurama answered.

"Hmm." Sesshoumaru walked out of the room and back to his. About three hours later Aki walked back in the door, soaked from the rain that had started to fall 20 minutes after she left.

"Where were you? I was worried!" Takara said. Aki ignored her questions and asked one of her own.

"Where's Mizuki? There's something I need to show her." Aki said.

"Uh…I think she's in her room." Takara answered. Aki nodded and walked off to Mizuki's room.

"Mizuki?" Aki asked through the door, she could hear quiet sobs from the other side. "I'm coming in." Aki opened the door and Mizuki was sitting on her bed with a tear stained face.

"Go away." Mizuki muttered to Aki.

"No, there's something I did for you and you're coming to see it." Aki said as she grabbed Mizuki's hand, usually if Aki really wanted someone to see some thing she'd drag them but Aki was being careful, since Mizuki had just seen her mother and then she was killed. Mizuki knew she'd see what Aki did for her one way or another so she decided to do it now instead of later.

"We're not going where I think we are, are we?" Mizuki asked.

"Yes, we are, but there's a reason." Aki said, she walked to the window and opened it, then she lead Mizuki to where her mother had been. Now there was freshly upturned dirt and a make shift gravestone.

"You did this for me?" Mizuki asked.

"Well yeah. I also did it to show my brother that I'm not going to end up like him." Aki added, then her eyes widened and she clamped her hand over her mouth. DAMN!

"You're brother?" Mizuki asked, with a penetrating look. Aki sighed.

"Yes, brother. Twin to be exact." Aki said as she looked into the shadows, directly at someone. "Come to say that you give up and you want me to kill you fast instead of slowly?" Aki asked as she glared into the shadows with an evil glare.

"There's no way you'll kill me. You have a snow ball's chance in hell." Tekatoki's voice said from where Aki was glaring.

"YOU MEAN YOU'RE TEKATOKI'S SISTER!" Mizuki screamed with wide eyes, Aki flinched because Mizuki was screaming in her ear.

"Don't. DO THAT!" Aki snapped, "And yes I am that jackasses sister." Aki was without her coat or anything else to protect her, then she felt the force field appear around them, Aki glared at her brother and generated her own with in his.

"I'm proud, you've learned how to make a shield when you've only seen it once." Teaktoki said. Aki was still glaring at him, when she shattered his shield.

"Get out of here Mizuki, he's my brother and I'm going to be the one that kills him." Aki said, Mizuki looked between the glaring siblings. "There's something else you and the others need to know. I'm from the Cursed Dog Demon Tribe of Dokija. Now go." Aki said quietly, Mizuki knew that if she didn't go soon that she'd most likely end up dead in the same fashion as her mother.

"Trying to take me on, little sister?" Tekatoki asked in a cold, evil tone. Aki answered back with the same tone as Mizuki left back to the temple.

"There's not trying, I AM going to take you on, then I'm going to take you down!" Aki growled as she charged in, it was an even match, each trading blow for blow. Aki hoped that Mizuki had made sure to tell them not to come and that they understood that she most likely wasn't going to get out of this alive. Suddenly Aki felt shooting pain in her shoulder, though she didn't flinch, sparring with Sesshoumaru had taught her that every time she flinched she lost a second, and that mere second could mean death. She looked at Tekatoki with a glare so cold that he swore he could feel the temperature drop about 10 degrees.

"It seems you're the one who inherited father's eyes, as I have mothers." Tekatoki said. Aki growled and looked to her shoulder out of the corner of her eyes, she hadn't noticed but she had let some of her mental restraints go, and she was about to lose total control.

"I may have father's eyes but at least I have mother's dignity and honor, you low scumbag." Aki said as she pulled out the pebble that Tekatoki had used to injure her. "You know why they say we're cursed?" Aki asked.

"No, and I never cared." Tekatoki answered. Aki's pupils totally disappeared and her claws, and fangs grew longer, she didn't care what she did to him at this point, she was going to kill him, for Mizuki, and all the other people that he'd killed and raped and all the other things that he had done to other people and for those two horrid years that he had almost beaten her to death.

"We're cursed because we have the ability to take the attacks from other people and use them, for a price." Aki added. "It takes a huge toll on our physical self, not to mention mental, emotional, and social selves." Tekatoki was looking at his sister with a small hint of fear in his eyes.

"What're you doing?" Tekatoki asked.

"Using the curse that I was born with and it's going to kill you, I'll make sure of it." Aki said, she was using the curse to use all the powers that had been used on her. When everything was complete she let loose all the attacks just as Tekatoki's arm plunged through her left lung. Blood squirted out of her mouth and the next second Tekatoki's soul had left his body and his cold, blank, red eyes had nothing but the extremely scared expression on his face. Aki went back to normal and fell to the ground; she was completely lost in the vast sea of darkness.

"What's that smell?" Sesshoumaru asked as his head snapped to where Mizuki had left Aki. "Blood?" he asked, as the smell grew stronger. Then he was gone and the door was left open. Takara, Mizuki, Kurama, and Hiei were the next ones out the door. Sesshoumaru ran into the clearing where Aki and Tekatoki where lying. Aki was face down and she was barely breathing.

"What…happened?" Takara asked as she looked around, Aki started to move and get up. Mizuki and Takara ran over.

"Aki are you ok?" Mizuki asked, Aki struggled to get up and when she succeeded she almost instantly fell back down into a pool of her own blood, which had long since turned cold. Aki growled and looked up, her eyes still had no pupils, nor would they for a while, yet she could still see.

"Get…away." Aki said.

"Why?" Kurama asked. Aki growled another warning at Mizuki and Takara.

"I can't undo the curse once I've set it loose, I've got to learn to control it, or else I'll kill any one and every one." Aki said as she stood up again, her breathing was fast and the breaths shallow. Sesshoumaru walked over and steadied her but she pushed him away.

"Aki, stop it. We'll take the chance." Takara said, Hiei watched the scene between them all.

"Look at Tekatoki." Aki said, everyone looked over, the scared expression on his face was still there, nor would it ever fade, at least in her mind. "If I kill you with this curse I will forever have nightmares about it and I'll never be able to get rid of them. I'm not going to live with that. It's a great burden to use this curse for good, after all it is a curse." Aki added with a sly smile, it wasn't like her to be like this when she was in this state, it was the curse, it was taking control of Aki. Sesshoumaru grabbed Takara and Mizuki out of the way of Aki's claws.

"AKI!" both girls yelled in surprise.

"It's the curse." Sesshoumaru said, he pushed them out of the way and Aki's hand was sticking out the other side of his stomach. Sesshoumaru took her hand out and bent in a way it didn't bend. "Stop." Sesshoumaru said calmly as his wound already began healing.

"No." Aki growled at him, she tried to lunge and kill him with her other arm but it was still broken. Sesshoumaru twisted more and Aki yelped in pain.

"Sesshoumaru stop!" Mizuki yelled, Hiei grabbed her arm to make sure that Mizuki didn't interfere. "What're you doing? I have to help her!" Mizuki said.

"No, if you do you're going to end up dead." Hiei said.

"Hiei's right Mizuki, the only one that stands a chance against Aki like this is the one that's hurting her." Kurama said.

"There's nothing we can do." Takara looked at the ground. Aki was struggling against Sesshoumaru, but with her broken arm there was nothing she could do, then there was a bright light and Aki's arm was healed.

"What the-!" Kurama and Mizuki asked in surprise.

"It's also part of the curse." Hiei said. "She can use whatever attack or spell was used on her, and then use it to her advantage." Hiei explained.

"She can even use healing spells! I thought that black mages couldn't use white magic." Takara said.

"There's much to Aki we don't know…I don't think we'll ever figure out all of her mysteries." Kurama said. Takara and the others nodded. Sesshoumaru kicked Aki in the spot where Tekatoki had stabbed her and Aki's pupil less eyes showed immense pain. She fell to her knees and clutched her ribs in pain, her breathing was getting faster and that wasn't a good sign, when no one was looking Aki had cut Sesshoumaru's arm and it was bleeding as was the hole in his stomach.

"Get out of here, I'm letting go." Sesshoumaru said. Takara, Mizuki, Hiei, and Kurama nodded and ran off. Sesshoumaru let go of Aki and she was still clutching her ribs in pain. "Stop letting it control you. You've got to learn to control it, not the other way around." Sesshoumaru added. Aki's breathing slowed and she had regained herself and was desperately trying to hold onto something to stop the curse from controlling here again.

"My father's curse it to powerful for me to control. As is my mothers." Aki said with a slight struggle.

"You can over come them, you're stronger and if they could control theirs you can control them as well."

"I…have both…curses…there's no way…I can control them both…you don't know the mental…tolls it takes." Aki muttered, it was trying to take her again, Sesshoumaru snapped his fingers in front of her face and she looked at them. She looked at Sesshoumaru; he had a look in his eyes that said 'If anyone can control them, it's you.' Aki growled slightly and closed her eyes; soon she had that stupid curse under control. "Thanks." Aki said.

"What am I supposed to do? Let my trainee kill me and her friends?" Sesshoumaru asked, a hint of sarcasm in his voice, Aki smirked.

"You've become nicer since you've been here." Aki said.

"How do you know?" he asked, looking at her out of the corner of his eye.

"Well for one, you would have never let yourself fall asleep in the same bed, you would have killed me for calling you 'Sesshy' or 'Fluffy', there's more but I think you get the picture."

She's right…I am going soft. Sesshoumaru muttered to himself. Aki didn't dare enter his mind at the moment so he was safe. But why? Am I going soft for her? Sesshoumaru ended his thoughts right there and didn't think about it anymore.

"I wonder if he had to kill Aki." Takara muttered aloud. "No..," she was pacing in her room and hadn't come out since she had come back.

"Uh…Takara?" Kurama asked.

"What?" she asked, still pacing.

"I brought you some food, I thought you might be hungry." Kurama answered.

"Oh…thanks…it's safe you know." Takara added as she stopped pacing so she could eat. The truth was she was starved and could have eaten a lot more than Kurama brought.

"Hiei…do you think Aki can get the curse under control?" Mizuki asked. Hiei shrugged.

"Since she's killed her brother she bares more than one, she has her father's and her mothers. Very few of those Cursed live, that's why most have twins." Hiei explained. "Each one gets a different parents. Most of the time the female will get the mothers and the male will get the fathers, though with Aki and Tekatoki that's not the case, Aki's curse was much stronger than Tekatoki's, if you look closely you could see the battle that was going on in her eyes while she talked or did anything, especially when she gets mad, that's why she's able to beat most any one here. She doesn't beat Sesshoumaru because he has a battle raging with in himself, just as her." Mizuki nodded.

"I get it, so there's a chance that because Sesshoumaru's going through almost the same thing as Aki he's the one that can help her?" Mizuki asked.

"Yes." Hiei answered plainly.

"Then we've got nothing to worry about." Mizuki muttered. Hiei looked at her.

"What do you mean?" Hiei asked.

"They care for each other, even though they try to hide it." Mizuki explained. "Can't you tell?" Mizuki asked.

"No." Hiei said.

"That's right…you, Aki and Sesshoumaru are the only people here who've never had a crush." Mizuki said. "Oh well…once you find some one you like you'll know what I'm talking about. Now go to bed, it's late." Mizuki added as she crawled into bed. Hiei rolled his eyes and left the room and went out to the living room to clean his sword. Aki walked in and went to her room, Sesshoumaru followed, he wasn't going to take the chance that Aki might lose it and try to kill everyone while they were sleeping.

Aki transformed and Tekatoki died after he had inflicted the wound she had. Then she heard Tekatoki's voice in her head. 'It seems that you've become father. Using your curse to kill your sibling, your twin.' He said, his lips weren't moving but it was his voice.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Aki yelled as she woke up screaming at the top of her lungs. It wasn't a pretty sound.

"What!" Sesshoumaru asked, he had dozed off, and woke when Aki yelled.

"I told you I'd have nightmares." Aki muttered. "Get some ear plugs." She added and laid down to go back to sleep. Her eyes were still open when she heard Sesshoumaru's breathing even out and she got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to splash some cold water on her face. "I need dreamless sleep." Aki muttered.

"Why didn't you say so?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"What? You have the power to take the nightmares away?" Aki asked

"No, but I do know something that can make them go away, but you'd have to make and drink it every night before you go to bed or else the nightmares will get even worse." Sesshoumaru explained.

"Alright." Aki said with a nod.
