Chi: This took like a really long time. D: I had to rewrite it fifty times so it stayed with the storyline but didn't suck as much as some chapters I've done before. *yawns* I hope some of you like it.

Miranda: *reads chapter* You do know that if anything else happens to her you will die right?

Hannah: I'm inclined to agree. We have the ability to put you in your place.

Chi: *whimpers* Why are you so mean? ;-;

Shura: *whacks Miranda and Hannah*

Chi: Some things are better not read/seen with those three girls, story start!

"The little girl is resting. We shouldn't bother her now. We'll need her energized for when were ready for the ceremony." A voice spoke quietly but loud enough to reach the sleeping girl. Light brown hair was swept into a loose wave of curls and silk royal blue blankets covered her. Her eyes were shut while a crimson velvet dress was carefully wrapped over her.

"True. She's been sleeping for a while though. You know we need to hurry. Her blasted twin will come after herwe'll feel their real power." A second voice sighed watching over the young one.

"Oh their true power is devastating but I've managed to make a special little formula thanks to our Angel friend and it will paralyze her as long as it remains in the air. So we need not worry, The rest of her companions will be easy to take care of." The first voice purred still watching the girl.


Shura slammed her fist on the table yelling at the brunette, "WE NEED TO GO AFTER HER! YOUR THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN LEAD US THERE!"

Kyoya watched having long since noticed an odd disturbance about "Hannah". The brunette replied coolly to Shura, "Calm down. Losing our head will only make things worse now."

Yukio is worried in the corner but dared not get involved. "Your acting so high and mighty! This is the second time it's happened and your acting like you don't even care!" A loud slap echoed.

'Hannah' stared coldly, " You really think I don't care about her. You're an idiot." 'Hannah' stood over the table analyzing a dozen of different scribbled battle attacks, "They will be expecting us and they need Miranda to fulfill some kind of plan. We best hurry therefore."

It was around this time Kyoya spoke up, "So when should we attack? They'll notice Miranda isn't there soon." Kyoya straightened his glasses. Shura whipped around looking even angrier than before.

"IF MIRANDA ISN'T THERE WHERE IS SHE?!" Shura yelled with a demand. Yukio immediately caught on.

'Hannah' groaned slapping her forehead, "Are you really THAT stupid?! I'm not Hannah! Hannah used her stupid Aria skills mixed it with her demon powers and switched places with me! If Hannah were here she would've been screaming! She would be so panicked that she would've walked right into a trap and been killed! THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I ALLOWED THE SWITCH!" Miranda was screaming at Shura now ready to kill and resisted the burning urge to bust out a sword and destroy everything in her path. Yukio intervened next sensing the murderous want in Hannah. Shura could feel it and Kyoya knew it long before Miranda herself noticed. Miranda struggled to contain her steaming rage. Yukio, Shura, and Kyoya all ducked when Miranda screamed and tore herself away from Yukio's grip throwing a dagger at the wall.

Yukio was the first to speak, "Are you calmed down now?" Miranda took a deep breath having taken out a small part of her rage on the wall.

Regaining her composure Miranda ran her hand through her hair, "Yes. My apologies." With that Miranda gave a light bow before retrieving her dagger and examining it. "... You fools are lucky you ducked. Had any of you been cut with this you would be dead within thirty seconds," Miranda sheathed the dagger before resuming analyzing her plans.

Shura who now dared not say anything further in fear of becoming a target talked calmly, "So do we have any leads?"

Miranda nodded staring at the map before pointing to an abandoned warehouse, "This is there back-up base. Shura, do a good job putting it in pieces. Yukio and I," Miranda pointed to a subway, "Are going to throw a party. It will be... unforgettable." Kyoya watched the scene playing out before him. He was missing a vital piece. It was clear to him that Shura and Yukio knew Miranda and trusted her but they were uneasy and afraid of her. What held them together? Hannah? They seemed to care about her. But what did they mean by 'last time'? There was something wrong here. HE didn't know what and that was not a leasing thought. He NEEDED to know. He would respect privacy but this wasn't something very discreet from the looks of it.

Kyoya spoke up, "Before we do anything, what is going on?" Kyoya was determined to find out even if it meant through force though he hoped and doubted it would come to that. Miranda used herself as a barrier between Shura, Yukio, and Kyoya.

Kyoya could see the slight fear in Miranda's soul. She knew better than to fight a Soul Seer, "The information you want lies only in Hannah and I. If you help us with getting her back I will tell you everything. I promise."

Miranda stared at him with high guard as if ready to take a brutal beating though Kyoya merely pushed his glasses up, "Who am I siding with, should I help you?"

Shura spoke up harshly, "Your siding with the good guys! How stupid are you?!"

Miranda shot Shura a heated glare, "How stupid are YOU! Do you know how dangerous it is for demons to side with you?! We become outcasts! Some can NEVER return to a demon life and if something goes wrong with you, were dead! He's a full-blooded demon! We could ruin his life! You don't get that cause your human!" Miranda pointed to the door and shoved Yukio and Shura out, "Go pester someone else while I deal with things here!" Miranda slammed the door before turning to Kyoya. Her fear was more evident now.

Kyoya pushed his glasses up again curious. How strange. They were allies and yet she turned on them so quickly, "Why would you turn on them so easily?"

Miranda shook her head, "I don't turn on allies or throw them away. I'll put this simply, I am Miranda Eika. Twin to Hannah Eika. I am one of the last Fallen Angels and I am tainted by a vampire's poison. Despite this, if you have my back, I'll have yours. I only wish to protect my sister and friends. I won't hurt a single soul that is innocent. I offer no proof and you simply have to trust me!" A look of determination crossed her features and as she said this Kyoya could sense she had told the full truth and was a trustworthy ally.

Kyoya followed Miranda to the subway. Miranda was wearing a thin line of lipstick and her hair was done in a bun with shades covering her eyes. She was wearing a simple fall dress. Kyoya wore a blond wig and had contacts in instead of his glasses. He did not approve. In contrast to his normal neat outfit he wore 'commoners' clothing and blended into the subway quite well. Miranda had forced him into learning a simple act. Behaving like normal middle school kids.

"Thanks for coming with me this far~! Would you like to come over for dinner?" Miranda was playing as a love-struck girl. Kyoya was the popular smart kid. Not much different except he was 'nicer' in the act.

"Sure." Kyoya put on a fake smile. Miranda glanced around before finally seeing a door. She froze and forced Kyoya into being more statue like. A pain as he was still 'smiling'. Static formed and two figures walked out of the door.

"Your being paranoid! Miranda is in there and even if Hannah was here she wouldn't be able to escape the illusion!" The green-eyed man was silent as his partner yelled. Miranda waited till their eyes passed herself and Kyoya.

Miranda gave a hushed whisper, "Strike them now and strike hard!" With that Miranda withdrew her sword and attacked, "YOU'LL PAY FOR SURVIVING THAT NIGHT!" Such words interested Kyoya as he removed the contacts and wig straightening himself up. He took no mind to the approaching threat and merely froze the green-eyed man's partner.

The green-eyed man dodged Miranda's attacks like it was child's play, "Sweetie. Why are you so resistant and hateful?" This only fueled Miranda's rage further. A gun sounded. A certain brunette dressed up held a gun and had missed the green-eyed man hitting Miranda's shoulder.

Hannah cursed loudly and almost hysterically, "DAMN IT! MIRANDA!" Hannah sheathed her gun and was at her twin's side in moments who clutched her wound tightly with clenched teeth. Kyoya was at the twins side in moments.

The green-eyed man watched amused as Miranda glared at him, "I guess I deserved that for letting us switch." Miranda let Hannah move the cloth and use a small light to pull out the blood stained bullet. Michelle and Jonathan appeared in front of the two with their own weapons. A spearwas clutched in Michelle's hands and a two-handed sword in Jonathan's.

Michelle showed a much darker side that was very rare of her, "NOBODY hurts my kids this way! I think you have cause enough trouble for a thousand lifetimes!" With that Michelle lunged forward nicking the man's arm. Jonathan appeared in front and made a clean blow to the man's abdomen.

The green-eyed man smiled, "So your my little girls parents. Don't worry I'll take good care of her~!" The man fought back as Miranda fumed angrily.

"OKAY WE TAKE THEM BY FORCE!" Not even waiting Miranda grabbed her sword and jumped into the heat of the battle fighting the group. To everyone' surprise there was only a few people. Michelle made a surprise attack and incapacitated the green-eyed man before dragging him off by his hair. Jonathan close behind. Somebody's time had just ran out and despite his cruelty perhaps it was a fate far worse than what he deserved.


Turn, strike, jump, turn, strike. Repeat for three turns and switch tactics. Strike, dodge, block, turn, strike, strike, and then repeat. It was almost boring. My perfect repetitive attack was cut short by a low swoop that tripped me. Cold concrete hit the back of my head and a dull throb echoed. Damn! I quickly jumped up missing the sword regarding my skin. Instead it cut off a small bit of my hair but the small strand of hair never hit the ground. A heaviness suddenly took over my body and I found myself falling back down with exhaustion pricking my senses. Focus you idiot! She needs help! Hannah needs you!

"Does Hannah really need you?" A voice asked. Chills spread throughout me as it continued, "Or perhaps maybe it is you who need her. She sacrificed herself to be in your place. If she was confident she could save you she wouldn't have done that."

No. Hannah switched with me because she KNEW what she would do and she wanted to prevent that..!

"Did she? Even if she did you can't protect her. She saved herself. You can't protect her from death." I turned searching frantically getting a sick feeling in my stomach that something terrible was about to happen to her.

I yelled her name, "Hannah! Hannah!" God I sounded so desperate! I caught sight of her hazel hair and ran but Iwas too late. A gun sounded and she fell so quickly and quietly it was gut wrenching. I fell on my knees shaking her. "Hannah..? Don't go. Don't leave me alone, please!" Her eyes glazed over and her warmth was slowly fading. No! HANNAH! Sobs escaped me as I clung onto her.

"What do you think you're doing! How could you do it?!" A voice shouted at me. It was Shura. Tears stained her cheeks as she shook me. A small whimper escaped me.

I shook inwardly and chills took my body, "What do you mean?! What did I do?!" Shura looked disgusted with me before pushing me back and leaving. I could see a heated glare from Yukio. No... no please not again! Fear corrupted my emotions and I looked down at myself. A gun was thrown on the floor with a missing bullet. I don't even know how to use guns! How can they not believe me?! Tears spilled and horror took over.

"You did it. You always wanted her gone didn't you? You hated how she promised that she would protect you and that it was all a load of bull. Just come clean and admit it."

"NO! This isn't what I want! I don't want to kill her. I couldn't!" I broke into a sob, "I couldn't kill Hannah! Why won't you believe me! Why are you'll abandoning me again! I don't want to be alone! I can't be alone again... I'm sorry!" Sobs tore through my throat. It was dark everywhere. I was alone again.


"Miranda?! MIRANDA!" Hannah screamed shaking her sobbing twin. Michelle was on her knees trying to understand.

Whimpers sounded from Miranda who just stared blankly in her lap crying and mumbling. Her arms wrapped around herself in fear, "I don't want to be alone again. I'm sorry! I'm so so sorry! Just don't leave me!" Her eyes glowed black and slight mist formed in the corner of her eyes. Kyoya watched. Perhaps this was a story best not investigated or understood by anyone who had not witnessed it. Miranda had been afraid and vengeful but this was terror. A terror nobody could stand up to. Possession and illusion in one could cause horrible things. Shura and Yukio had long since arrived as back-up. All that remained was the boss whom hid. Hannah screamed at Miranda shaking her.

Michelle wrapped her arms around Miranda, "Come back to us sweetie. Snap out of it please!" The lights went out leaving only Miranda's lightly glowing eyes as light.

"So you want to complete this mission, yes? I only have one goal in the first place. But this is not how things were supposed to go. I will dispose of the boss." A voice rang out and moments later a scream. The lights flickered on and Miranda had stopped mumbling and now only stared unknowing of what had happened. It didn't matter though. The moment her eyes saw Hannah she started sobbing and held Hannah in a hug.

"I'm sorry! Don't ever leave me! Please!" Miranda was almost screaming as she held onto her twin. Hannah's clenched her teeth.

Hannah spoke calmly and gently, "I'm not going anywhere. You don't need to beg for forgiveness. You have nothing to apologize for." It did little to calm Miranda down.

Miranda shook her head burying her face in Hannah, "NO! I killed you! I'm so so sorry!" Hannah felt more anger bubbling inside her.

Hannah whispered quietly, "I will make them pay for this... You deserve a lot of things but this is far beyond it."


Chi: Ooooh, we leave on sad note. Yeah I know. I suck at creating heart wrenching scenes. Bare with me please.

Miranda: This is her way of saying forgive if the chapter and I suck.

Chi: HEY!

Kyoya: *stares at Chi with the intent of finding out future story plans*

Chi: *hides behind Rin and holds him up as a shield.

Yukio: Why are you here Rin?

Rin: I don't know.

Hunny: Aren't we supposed to be bodyguards?

Miranda: *wears professional outfit and adjusts glasses with the lenses knocked out* You technically never agreed to be our bodyguards. Though in a chapter or two it will be automatically chosen... Damn, were going to be suspicious for a long time.

Chi: HEY! NO IN STORY TALKING!

Hannah: WELP, leaving those weirdo's behind, *holds up giant billboard saying "Please R&R"* R&R non-existent readers~!
