I groaned the next morning when I woke up. I was in so much pain at the moment. I looked around and got up slowly, wincing in pain as I moved. I placed my hand on my lower back and walked out of my room. Thank god it was still rainy out.

"Kenkai, get back in your room," Aunt Lauren said.

"I just came out for breakfast..." I mumbled and grabbed some bread and walked back up to my room.

Haruto and Kiyomi came into my room shortly after.

"So, I'm going to practice the spell on Kiyomi, of course, and then we'll call my mom down and we'll be good and set." I said simply.

"Wait, you're testing it on me?" Kiyomi shrieked.

I nodded. "You don't want to be a vampire. So it makes sense to practice on you." I said simply.

Kiyomi gulped and nodded nervously. I could tell she was nervous. The spell could go completely wrong, so why wouldn't she be worried. This was my first spell too... well... first big spell involves people.

I got everything ready. I placed the charms in their rightful places around the room. I drew the casting circle. The circle transformed in the color each element was as well. And then, I stood in the middle closing my eyes. I even wore the traditional clothes: A torn black kimono with the color of each element (not including healing) in a circle on the front of my body.

"From the north I bring forth to my circle, fire!" I raised my hands to the north. I turned to the east. "From the east I bring forth, Air! To the South, Water! From the West, Earth! And from deep within, I summon Spirit to my circle! Bring forth a small ounce of these give elements and you get the power of healing!" I chanted. "These are special charms presented here today. They are to reverse a darkness called Vampirism. Fire, you will burn the body, creating only ashes. Water, you will cleanse the ashes of the darkness. Wind, you will spread the ashes into a human form. Earth, you will bind together the ashes and give a human body. Spirit, you will guide my cousin, Kiyomi, in her spiritual form to her body. And with the healing charm, she shall be reanimated, but this time, as a human!" I threw my arms into the air releasing the energy I gave off to commend my commands.

Kiyomi looked so worried and nervous as my eyes turned white and energy poured from my body, flooding the air and giving the elements life.

Fire struck first, burning her. Kiyomi screamed in terrified agony. It was a slow process, as I heard. She screamed until she was nothing but ashes.

Water came next. It soaked her ashes with it's pure liquid. I saw the darkness reseeding in the clear light blue water.

The Wind blew slightly. It blew some pieces into the human body. When Earth bound it together, the ashes were an exact replica of the Kiyomi's body. I saw her spirit hanging over head and then seep into her body once more. They were joined by spirit.

I was frozen in my position. The spell wasn't complete yet. My breathing stopped and thank goodness I was a vampire because I didn't breathe until Kiyomi's gasping came through. I gasped for breath as well. I collapsed and the circle broke.

"Thank you Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Spirit. Thank you for your ability to heal as well. Have a safe trip back to where ever you belong. Good-bye." I said before passing out.

(~Three Months Later~)

Sleep was still trying to control me. My body was completely tingling with numbness. I couldn't actually see what was going on around me, but I could see what was going on inside of me.

Lights flickered in the darkness beneath my eyelids. Something was trying to turn itself back on. Fighting the sleep, it on. The area lit up. Soon, others followed its rebellion. Once everything was turned on, my senses turned back on as well.

I felt something cold on my forehead and whispering all around. There were some gasps then as I heard footsteps come in.

One question: Who was it?

~Sintary's POV~

I felt power pouring from the other dimension. I was terrified by this. Was it Orochimaru finally getting a hold of Kenkai? Or was it Kenkai? I knew it couldn't be her because if she was a vampire, she wouldn't be able to use her powers to this extent. And even if she was human, she would die from this. I picked up the phone and called the one person I could truly trust.

"Salvatore residents, how may I help thee?" Came Damon's cocky tone.

"Are you drinking again?" I snapped frustrated with worry.

"Mm mm. Nope. Sorry, didn't hit the bullet there," He said. "Anyway, what does the witch need done this time?"

I growled. "There's something... powerful going on in the other dimension," I explained. "How are the lie lines?" I asked.

"You're the witch. You figure it out," Damon said obviously not realizing it could be Kenkai.

I sighed. "It could be our way to get to Kenkai again." I said.

There was a long pause before the dark-haired Salvatore answered.

"They're low enough to pass through. Are you sure it's her?" He asked.

I sighed. "There's a possibility. But I highly doubt it." I said.

"Then I'm not helping you any further." Damon said.

Yep, he'd been drinking at the time.

I sighed and hung up the phone.

Going to the graveyard, I cast the spell and opened a porthole. I stepped through and landed in my home. I looked around, there was nothing that changed. Besides the active animals frantically moving around.

"Yep, there's a power source going on around here," I said and sighed.

I walked to my former house first. It was a longing inside of me that drew me there. I got in position, and pulled a vine pulling me up to the tree house.

It stopped abruptly.

"I thought you were told you couldn't ride this thing anymore!" Came Lauren's voice.

But when she looked over, I was already gone.

I was inside the house on the lower level at this point. I looked around the dark area. There was no one there. Climbing up the stairs slowly, I noticed that there was very little motion around this house. I found some light and was led into the kitchen. Lauren was chopping vegetables then. She put the knife into the cork and sighed.

She turned around. "Well, you finally decided to come down for—"

Her eyes widened at the site of my appearance. Lauren then got into a battle position, obviously not noticing it was me under my clothing.

"Wait!" I called out raising a hand. That caused her to freeze under my command. I pulled my hood down. "It's me, Sintary." I said softly. "I've come back... You may move now," I released her.

Lauren was stunned with fright and disbelief.

"She... She wasn't lying...?"

I looked at her softly and assumed Kenkai had told.

I nodded. "Yes, she wasn't lying. She told the truth." I said. "It's good to see you, but where is Kenkai?" I asked.

She pointed upwards and I assumed, again, that meant her room.

I ascended up the stairs to her room. Without knocking, I flung the door open with a mere thought. There was the whole family gathered in her room practically. They all gasped at my appearance there, but no one seemed to notice Kenkai's return to this world.

"Light the flame inside the sorcerer," I chanted softly pointing to Kenkai.

She started choking and awoken.

~Kenkai's POV~

I coughed when I woke up. Sitting up abruptly in pain.

"So, you became a dhampire... interesting..." Came a voice I hadn't heard in a while.

I held my throat, but looked up with one eye opened—the other closed in pain—to see my mother in all her glory.. I smirked slightly, still exhausted.

"I suppose so," I said still smirking.

She frowned and placed her hand on her hip.

"Wipe that smirk off your face. This isn't time to be cocky," she said. "Tsk, you're just like your father," she said.

"Is that a bad thing?" My father asked coming behind her.

He seemed to be the only one that wasn't shocked by her being here.

"So, you felt my return quickly, eh?" My mother asked him before slowly turning around.

"As soon as Kenkai told me about you still being alive, I knew that the second she released her energy in a powerful, yet control way, that you'd be back second it was over."

"Yes, yes. But in my time, not a month as past. In yours, three months have past. So, in a way, I'm here not a second later," my mother said and went into my father's arms.

I'd never seen my father so happy before. So peaceful and calm. So understanding and loving... not once, for anyone really besides me. He seemed whole now. Like the torn pieces of his soul had been mended together.

Kiyomi was sitting off to the side, reborn and human.

"Aunt Sintary... Kenkai found a spell that will change you back into your human form." Kiyomi said softy.

"Really? How is that possible?" My mother asked confused.

I raised my hand slightly and the book came to me.

"I got this book for my birthday. It shows a lot inside it for reversals," I explained.

"Yes, Kenkai went through a lot of trouble to try and gather the ingredients to perform the spell." Haruto explained. He was there even though he knew the danger of being found out.

My mother narrowed her eyes.

"You're a vampire, Haruto," she said.

Everyone blinked.

"Haruto, is this true?" Aunt Dizzy asked approaching him slowly.

Haruto nodded. "Yep. I'm a vampire."

They were silent as Haruto looked down at his hands.

"Anyway," Haruto started after a while. "That's not the point. The point is, Kenkai found all the charms for this spell. She then practiced it three months ago on Kiyomi. And as you can see, it worked.

Stares were tossed to Kiyomi. She nodded meekly.

"Indeed. I was turned on an accident, against my will and wished to be turned back. So I was the test for this spell," she said softly.

"And I see it worked," My mother said.

If she was interested or surprised, she didn't show it. There was no emotion on her face or in her voice. That was the curse of the vampire; one of them at least.

"Mother, I can turn you back. I don't think it'll have such an impact on me this time since it'll be my second time doing this." I explained to her.

She seemed to think about it. It took her a while, but she finally agreed.

I got off the bed, a little dizzy at first, and got the circle ready. The charms in their place, and then the casting circle. My mother added a few things to it. There was a circle, the outer circle that had four lines drawn out of it. That connected the four elements to the circle. Then there was four lines inside the circle that connected to a middle circle. Then colors blended together when they met their neighbors this time. Then there were four more times that connected to a smaller circle—which I was suppose to stand in. That circle had a purple, for spirit. So, when the colors meshed together, they had a tint of purple in them as well. Then with four smaller lines, the elements were connected to me.

"Ready?" I asked.

My mother nodded. Everyone else was standing back to watch.

I took a deep breathe and began.

"From the north, I call Fire to my circle!" I first called. "To the East I call Wind to my circle! To the South, Water! To the West, Earth! And from deep within, Spirit!"

I felt the power surge my body. It was intoxicating. I could do anything with this power. I could rule the world and make it what ever I wanted. It was right there in front of me, ready to be used. The thought of a perfect, normal world came to my mind. I smiled at that thought. That was, till I saw my family completely miserable. My smile fell and I thought about my mom and what I was suppose to do.

"Fire! I command you to burn the darkness of my mother. Water! I want you to cleanse the ashes of my mother. Wind! I want you to blow the ashes so they form a human body. Earth! Bind those ashes together with your nutriment to create a corpse. Spirit, I ask you to guide my mother's spirit to her corpse. And with this healing charm, bind my mother's soul to her body until her death!"

I raised my hands in the air like before. Energy flowed through my body and out in the exits it could. My eyes turned white. The last thing I truly saw, was the calm, emotionless face of my mother.

~Sasuke's POV~

Kenkai raised her arms and I felt that power again. Only this time it was controlled' she wasn't it pain. But one of the charms started acting. Fire shot from the crystal, blazing hot. It reached over and burnt Kenkai, she screamed in terror. Sintary made no move other then crossing her arms and tossing her hips. When I went to reach out to help Kenkai, Sintary slapped my hand away and gave me a cold stare. Kenkai's screams still rang.

Finally, Sintary moved and touched the flames. She was the true "darkness." The flames engulfed her. All eyes were on Sintary as she went up into flames with her arms over her breasts. The pile of ashes fell to the ground. Kenkai's eyes were facing up; I assumed that meant Sintary's spirit was there.

Water was the next to act. It didn't move to Kenkai's arm, but straight to Sintary's ashes. I knew everyone could tell the difference between the tainted water and the pure water. The water then burnt up and evaporated.

The wind picked up slightly and blew the clean ashes into the form of a human; a female human. I saw something from the ground move and go to the ashes. That soon created the perfect female body. But her new body was very skinny. I looked back and forth between Kenkai's standing figure, and the figure laying out in front of me practically. They were identical. I then turned my attention to Kiyomi's sitting form. It was hard to tell there, so I'll wait till she stands up to determine what was happening.

One of Kenkai's arm pointed to the corpse, while the other stayed in the air above her head. She seemed to shutter slightly, and something passed through her to the corpse. Kenkai collapsed and stopped breathing. The markings appeared on her fallen figure again, glowing red with a site orange.

I looked over at my wife's corpse and noticed the same markings. I looked at Kiyomi's body and it was the same as well. Although, no one seemed aware. I don't think anyone could see the marks but me. I looked down at the floor, just between Sintary and Kenkai, and noticed something on me. I brushed it off my knee and noticed it was on my hands as well. I looked at it closer.

It was the curse mark.

Why was it acting up now? After all these years and now? After my beautifully gifted daughter brought her mother back to her human state.

The curse mark's disappearance instead of reseeding, brought my attention back to my family. Sintary started coughing and Kenkai was gasping for breath.

I ran over to Sintary and held her slightly.

"Come on... come back to me Sintary... come back to me..." I said softly.

I wouldn't let anyone see, but I was close to tears. I didn't want to loose her again.

"She'll be fine, Sasuke," I heard Kenkai's voice behind me.

I turned around. She was on one knees while the other was prompt up, and her elbow was resting on it while it was wiping her mouth. Kenkai's gaze was sad, unwanted, alone, and angry. She got up and ran. Lauren, Itachi, Dizzy, and Haruto went to run after her, but where blocked by an invisible barrier.

Sintary's cold hand brought my attention back to her. Her eyes sparkled with tears inside of them. Her face was serene and loving. But her touch was still ice.

"She'll be fine sweety..." She whispered quietly. "Damon's around here somewhere..."
