Okay yeah so I have been uber stuck on this chapter. But Here it is. Sorry to keep you waiting. And to cula, thanks for the kick in the pants. Some times that is what it takes to get that writer's block out of the way.

This chapter jumps around a bit. But I hope y'all like it none-the-less. It will probably be over in two or three chapters. Depending on how the next one turns out.

Aang's eyes grew wide as Toph walked back in the room. Zuko looked over at the girl and frowned. Her blood covered face wasn't the only thing that stood up. An air of frantic energy surrounded her. Sokka stumbled in after her and tried to catch his breath. Toph stopped in front of Aang.

"Enter the spirit world." Aang felt like arguing but decided that it might not be the best idea considering the tone in her voice. He assumed the position and closed his eyes, just as the path opened to him between worlds Toph's hands grabbed his. Aang fell forward into the spirit world as Toph fell on top of him. His eyes grew wide as he looked at Toph.

"Who...how?" Toph stood up and crossed her arms. Aang stood up and frowned at her. He didn't know that he could do that, or was it the darkness spilling off of his friend that had caused the trip.

"Kuiodio, has bothered us for far too long. Take me to her." Aang blinked at Toph she shook her head and began walking. He frowned and caught up with her.

"Where are you going?"

"Gee twinkle toes, don't listen much do you?" Aang frowned. Toph seemed alright enough. Aang stopped as Toph stopped. He turned his eyes back to look in front of him. Aang's eyes widened as he looked at Katara.

"Aang? Toph?" She said taking a step forward. She grinned and ran over to them.

"Katara!" Aang smiled. Katara pulled back and her face became worried.

"The babies?" Aang's smile widened.

"Their perfect Katara! Two beautiful benders. They are the most beautiful things I have ever seen." Katara smiled and rested her forehead against Aang's.

"Good."

"Ahem. If you are done, I have a job to do." Katara turned back to look at Toph. Her eyes widened.

"Toph, tell me something. I felt a drowning darkness, voices around me, and you. What's going on?" Toph frowned.

"My new friends tried to save you."She said her voice echoing in her own throat. Aang shook his head.

"The demons are talking through her. We have got to get you out of here." Katara frowned and looked at him.

"Aang, I'm dead...I can't leave." Katara said and shook her head. Aang turned and looked at Toph. She blinked her eyes and wavered. Aang grabbed her as she fell knocking them both out of the spirit world. Katara stared at the three dark spirits standing in front of her. She blinked as a memory fogged her mind.

"You are the ones that possessed my friends...and my brother?" The three nodded. "What do you want?" Katara ask balling her fist as she grew defensive.

"Do you want to come back at all?" One of the voices ask her. She nodded her head only to be alone again in the spirit world.

"Kuiodio. Demon here are you now still?" The gate keepers cracked voice rang in the stone cave. She turned to see the remains of a servant imp scattered across the floor. She waddled over to the rock throne that the she-demon had made for herself. She looked down to see the demon on the floor, gasping, as blood covered her. The gate keeper shook her aged head and frowned down at the woman.

"Mess full demons with, things bad will come." Kuiodio's orange eyes glared up at the haggard woman as blood covered her mouth.

"Stuff it, gramma." The gatekeeper cocked an almost nonexistent eyebrow.

"Pain you in are because blood pure is not. Demon half know your place should you." She reached down and picked the woman up as the blood streamed from the tears on her neck, and the gaping claw marks that ran down the length of her torso.

"Mortal born, then give life over to why?" Kuiodio shivered as the woman helped her to sit. She looked down at her neck where her beads had been ripped from her chest.

"I found out that I was a demi-demon when I was ten...my grandfather told me how I could cross over if I wanted to let me demons side take over...so I did seven years later."

"Child foolish! Think not I well remember gate brining you?" Kuiodio snarled at the old woman, but she continued in her backward tongue. "Black hair pretty and skin fair tall, thin you were. Looks altered much so you, enter world or and being come demon. Why?" She slapped the old woman away as she looked down over her tore body. She wrapped her hands painfully around the remaining cloth and tore it from her. She had never understood how a spirit could tear their clothes, but it happened.

"Power."

"But power the horrors worth, lust, thirst, anguish and urges feel?" She snarled her nose at the woman's question.

"Yes. The bead quench those urges and yes it was worth it." The old woman's eyes took on a dark gleam.

"Harder work make me for the you bring babies over." Kuiodio fanned her hand out over her naked body and brought her clothes back from the mists.

"That's your job hag." Kuiodio's head slammed into the rock behind her as the woman grabbed her.

"Insolence tolerated will be not. Babies no more you make. Next will time the trio you kill will, yes? Understand you?" Kuiodio pushed the woman off.

"yeah yea." With that answer the gatekeeper left. Kuiodio looked around her small stone place and frowned. Her blood was splattered across the floor, and the remainder of one of her imps lay twitching on the floor. She brought her hand up and touched the open wounds on her neck. Had she been still mortal the wound would have killed her. The gatekeeper was wrong. The three couldn't kill her, because in essence she was already dead, but they could cause her unsurpassed amounts of pain. She had given up her mortal body to cause death and devastation to those who mocked her as a child. She wasn't informed that she would keep her mortal urges after giving over her body, nor was she informed those three thousand years ago that she could still bleed. But here she was broken and bleeding, in a harsh reminder of her life as a palace concubine. She snarled her nose and turned toward her mirror. She had sworn to make the royal lineage suffer for all they had done to not only her but her mother, and she was going to do it, no matter the pain it caused her. Zuko still had spirit to be broken, and she was going to break him until he broke. Her ears pricked as she heard a familiar rustle of cloth. She turned to see the three wraith impersonating demons staring at her. She jumped backwards and scrambled over the edge of the throne. She glared at them as she brought her legs up to her chest.

"You have your payment, you have nothing left to see me for." Saidon snarled and held up his hand, the dried blood glistening on the metal gauntlet.

"You demi-demon blood as been tasted by a mortal. You will no longer be able to show even the slightest of amount of energy without waking the seed we have implanted in her. You're terror of the Fire Nation Royals is over." With that they shrunk into the floor. Passing through the goo and terror of the realms and coming to rest in front of Katara's damp, pale and darkened body. Zuko jumped up, starling the two infants in his arms as the presence of the demons overwhelmed him and jerked him out of a light sleep. The others jumped and clamped their hands over their ears as the twins began to scream. But the screams were nothing like they had ever heard, especially from a baby. Three dark shrouded heads turned quickly to look at the twins. Shurinere and Sliyar moves quickly across the room. Zuko stumbled back trying to get out of the demons' reach as the memories of blood, and violence passed in front of his eyes. He stumbled over the chair he had been sitting on and crashed to the floor, the twins remaining in the air.

"What do you want?!" Sokka growled pulling his boomerang to his hand, knowing in the back of his mind that it wouldn't do him any good, but it did make him feel better. Toph stood up as if pulled by strings and turned to look at him.

"They are here to for the twins." Zuko and Aang both jumped up as she spoke. Her voice blended with four others and her eyes brightened to a glowing white. Both men shook their heads, as the babies screaming silenced. Aang's head was thrown back as he was forced into the spirit world. He blinked his eyes as the panic and terror started to run through him. He stared at Roku and the gatekeeper with wide eyes.

"Please! Don't do that again!? WHAT IS GOING ON!?" He stammered as he flung his arms about. Ruko set his hand on the young boys shoulder and looked at the elderly hag.

"Deal for you manged I have made with the trio-terrors." Aang frowned and looked up at Ruko with visible question marks playing over his head.

"She made a deal with the three demons. If they keep their end of the bargain then your friend can go back." Aang turned to look at the elder spirit with wide eyes.

"What does it include?"

"Sent Kuiodio place in I have, babies mortal before come pass must spirit realm to." Aang shook his head thinking that he almost understood it, but still he looked to Roku for translation.

"You know what she said, young Aang." Aang nodded and closed his eyes. When he reopened them he stared at Zuko and Sokka's backs as they stood their ground against the three dark shadows. Sokka glanced over his shoulder stopping mid sentence as Aang stood up from the floor. Aang had tears in his eyes as he looked over at the two.

"They are just...keeping their end of the..deal." Aang said looking over at the shrouded spirits. Toph blinked and shook her head as they released their power over her. She turned and towards the demons then back to the guys as she shook her head again.

"They make a lot of deals." Toph said as she turned around to 'look' at the three once again. She brought her finger up to shake at them.

"Don't pull shit like that again! Dammit that's twice that you three have pulled some demonic other worldly shit on me without my giving the okay! No more mind rape!" The three turned to look at each other, though the glances that were shared were concealed but the air of the room changed drastically.

"We are demons, doll. We do as we please." She narrowed her eyes as she shook her head.

"We had a deal ourselves. Don't forget that. Remember I have control over just what kind of shape my soul is in when you take it keep that in mind!" Shurinere stepped forward and ran a metal claw down her cheek gently.

"You are ours remember that." He said finishing with a small jolt through his hand, bringing a strip of blood along her face. But she didn't waiver.

"I am no ones pet. I will not be property. I made my deal, but I will tarnish the hell out of my soul and my body if you three refuse to budge on that." Shurinere brought his hand up, but Sliyar caught his arm. He moved his comrade aside and stepped close to the blind girl.

"You would go so far as to do things to yourself, to ruin a soul for us?" She frowned. She wasn't one for self mutilation or had ever even thought of the fact. But she didn't like not having control of her mind and her body. So if she had to do bad stuff to keep them out of her mind then she would do it. Sliyar laughed and bent over, the side of his hood draping over her head as he kissed her gently on the head."Very well, chaton."

Sokka frowned as he watched the interaction. So she had promised her soul. Sokka stored that thought in the back of his mind and would remember to have a serious conversation with her about the matter at a later point in time. At this moment, however there was something a little more pressing.

"Get away from the babies!" Zuko ordered once again a little more sternly. Toph and Aang both looked at him.

"Zuko.. If we want Katara back...they have to take them..." Zuko turned to look at Aang with flames in his eyes. He shook his head as he looked to Sokka. The same horrified look covered both of their faces. They shook their heads and looked at Aang.

"No...I want Katara to come back, but she would kill us if we let them have her babies..."

"So you know, the babies are still almost completely demon, the mortal part of them is only slightly developed." Saidon said crossing his metal encased arms. Sokka frowned and looked back at the demon trio.

"And what does that mean?"

"It means that the transition of worlds would be painless. Their mortal bodies would die. Although fade way might be a better description." Sokka frowned and looked to Zuko, who were the only two that seemed to be making sense. Aang was delirious and Toph was partially under demon control. Zuko sighed as he dropped his head. He bit back tears and looked at Sokka.

"We cannot make this decision. Katara has to make it. We cannot decide for her."
