~Present Day~
As Jac-Jac finished her story, Rage had an emotionless facial expression on. She looked up at Jac-Jac and smiled.
Rage: Jac-Jac I am so sorry that you had to go through that. I wish I could have prevented it more than anything. However, I am so glad that you're here now safe and sound.
Jac-Jac: Me too and if it is all right with your brother I would really appreciate it if I could live here with you.
Rage did not respond she simply looked down and a tear slipped out and ran down her cheek. Shadow, while listening to Jac-Jac's story, was leaning back on the loveseat, arms crossed, and eyes closed. Until that is Rage's emotions hit Shadow all at once, he opened his eyes and looked down at Rage to see the tear fall to the floor. He quickly knelt beside Rage one hand on her back and the other on her furthest arm. He had her face him and she sniffled a little and then Shadow brought her close into his lap to hold her to keep her comfort.
Rage: Jac-Jac to understand what has happened you need to go thru all my memories it is much easier to show, than explain.
Jac-Jac: All right then.
Jac-Jac got up walked over to Rage sat in front of her, then Jac-Jac grabbed Rage's hand and looked down. It only took a few minutes before Jac-Jac found what she was looking for. After Jac-Jac looked up everyone was silent for a couple moments. The person to break the silence was Rage with a quiet voice.
Rage: Jac-Jac now you understand what has happened.
Jac-Jac: I could have never even imagined that something like that would happen to him Rage. I am so sorry how long has it been since you last saw him?
Rage: About a week after the ceremony is when we were split apart and I haven't seen him since. The only way I know he is alive is his sent from his sword, but the last year something is wrong. The sent is getting weaker and weaker still. This means something has happened or is happening to him. Jac-Jac he went to kill off …Kutan, when he left me and he stopped writing me when I got to America.
Rage looked up now and straight into Jac-Jac's eyes. Though Rage's own were filling with tears and signs of regret, sadness, loneliness.
Rage: Jac-Jac I am so afraid he is going too…
Jac-Jac: Rage listen to me, your brother is not I repeat is not going to die when I just got here. You already had a two losses in your life, I'm not about to just let there be a third. Do you remember when we were little and Kim, you, possibly Inyu, Robbin and Maro?
Rage: Yes, we were The Demons, but that was because Inyu was a demon and I was destined to be one and the rest of you would slay demons when we would help the town village.
Jac-Jac: Right Rage and I think it is about time they got back together at least the three girls. We need to save your brother and soon I don't care how much trouble he is in. You, him, Kim , Robbin, and Maro are all I have left and I don't plan on loosing anyone else.
Jac-Jac stood up with a firm look in her eye and her fists balled up as she walked outside mumbling to herself.
Shadow: What is wrong with her Yin?
Rage: Like I said Shadow, the day her mother died was hard on her and when my father died was hard for all of us. Inyu was always the one that kept us together he was like the big brother of all of us. Any of us would go insane if we knew he was in trouble.
Shadow: He must be an amazing older brother.
Rage just smiled and looked up at Shadow with a little glint of happiness in her eyes.
Rage: He was much more than that, he was an astonishingly remarkable brother and such a wonderful person even to those who hated our kind.
Shadow: You mean Half-demons or demons in general.
Rage: Half demons, you see Shadow demons only accept demons and well regulars only liked regulars. But there were a few that were different like my parents. But Half-demons are not usually accepted by anyone because they were only half demon or only half regular. So no one wanted them except their parents. That's another reason Inyu sent me here to America because I wouldn't be judged because I was a Half-demon but that I was actually part demon instead. It was a much better life here than it was in Japan but I believe now that Japan is mostly half-demon.
Shadow: He seems to really care for you Rage. Rage why did Inyu you send you here by yourself? Why didn't he come with you to America?
Rage: The day my Father died hit Inyu hard, he stayed because he was going to kill our families worst enemy since before my Father's great, great grandfather ,was born. This feud between the Eval and Kutan has been in Japan since ancient history. Kutan is someone everyone even the Gods despise.
At the end of her sentence, Jac-Jac walked back into the house and sat back down in her chair. She looked at the couple sitting before her and she closed her eyes to catch up on what she missed while she was gone. When she opened her eyes, looked at Rage, and then asked her question.
Jac-Jac: Rage I really am sorry about you family feud and I know how it has hurt your family. However, I can't shake the feeling that Kutan has something to do with this.
Rage: Jac-Jac that is impossible the Kutan Clan has never extended outside of Japan.
Jac-Jac: Rage you left before you could know what has happened. The Kutan Clan has extended outside of Japan it is now all over the world they are looking for what your immediate family called "The other". He has put the search worldwide because he is desperate to find him or her. The reason being for this is that he or she will be the key in taking down the Eval family and yet he cannot find "The other".
Rage: I remember that myth about our family that Inyu and me have another sibling but no one but our father knew. He never told us for fear that we would expose it too quickly.
Jac-Jac: I don't know Rage maybe, I just wish I would have seen Kutan once so I could read his memoires then I could find out for sure if he has anything to do with this.
Rage: Jac-Jac maybe you can. Can you see memoires thru a picture?
Jac-Jac: Yes. Why?
Rage: Hold on I'll be right back.
Rage got up walked out of the living room to the hallway, up the stairs and to her room. She was digging thru her closet, looking for a box, when Shadow speed up to the room and sat on her bed arms crossed eyes closed.
Shadow: Rage this is a lot for me to comprehend but I am truly trying to understand. But your emotions are flying off the walls and I can't grasp exactly what you are feeling. Right now that only thing that I am for sure about it that your more than extremely upset. I 'm getting a hint of hatred and anger, but they are so little that I can hardly sense them. Rage I don't know if this will work but I do understand you feelings more than anyone. Even without using my power.
Rage finally found the picture, stood up walked over the bed and sat down beside Shadow.
Rage: Shadow I completely understand why you don't get any of this. It is very hard to grasp as you said but I am afraid that this day is only going to get worse and more confusing even for me.
Shadow looked at Rage to try to realize what she meant but nothing was making any sense. He looked down and sighed but only for a moment until Rage put her soft hand on sleek quills to bring his attention back to her.
Rage: I am sorry Shadow that I am not making any sense but I need you now more than ever to trust me. You know that I trust you with everything and I need you to do the same for me. Shadow I love you, you know that, and if you cannot take not understanding anything anymore then you could take a run.
Shadow: Thank you Rage and I do trust you with everything. I will try my best to keep up.
Rage smiled, then gave Shadow a quick peck on the cheek and swiftly walked downstairs to the living room with Jac-Jac. Shadow only thought for a few minutes before he felt Rage's emotions kick in it was sadness, fear, and worry. Shadow bolted downstairs only to find a horrific seen lying before him. Jac-Jac had fallen off the chair and was now in a fetal position. She looked like she had the flu with chills, coughing, and was already sweating. Rage was on the floor in front of the couch that was closest to Shadow. Rage noticed that Shadow had come down and looked at him with a face full of complete and utter surprise.
Shadow: Rage what happened?
Rage: Well Jac-Jac said she could use this and she went into her normal trance. But unless this is new it isn't normal she should be just fine. Ahhhh...
Rage fell to the ground instantly and started the same thing Jac-Jac was. The emotional pain she was giving off was more than Shadow could handle. He grabbed his head and fell to his knees screaming in pain. With what strength he could find, Shadow crawled over to Rage
Shadow: Rage what is going on… ahh I can't take this your connected to Jac-Jac and your connected to me. Rage how do I stop this…Rage…RAGE! Ahhhhh!
Rage: Shadow…
Shadow: Rage help me.
Rage: Shadow…take me to Jac-Jac.
Shadow nodded his head, he picked up Rage with what little strength he could muster and walked over to Jac-Jac. Each step he took he grew weaker, the pounding in his mind and pain he felt throughout his body was unfathomable. When he was only a few more steps, away Shadow couldn't withstand it much longer. He took one more step and fell to his knees with Rage still in his arms. He started to black out, his vision, willpower were fading rapidly, and with one last try he inched himself forward. He started to fall, when he let Rage roll out of his arms hoping it was enough to stop this.
Shadow lay there face down, breathing heaving his vision fading in and out. As Shadow passed out from sheer pain and exhaustion, Rage arose herself enough to crawl to her suffering friend. Once she reached her, Rage intertwined her fingers with Jac-Jac and touched her head against Jac-Jac's head. Then the shaking, panting, sweating, everything stopped, Shadow opened eyes enough see the unspeakable. After moment, the girl's eyes went completely white. Their heads shot up and as they did, bright white light escaped their mouths and eyes. Only for a few moments then a flash of blue light filled the room and the last thing Shadow saw was Rage reaching for both Shadow and Jac-Jac's hand. Then he blacked out.
Rage focused as much as she could on what life force she had left. When she had both Shadow and Jac-Jac's hand, she matched her heart rate with her friend's. The next thing Jac-Jac and Shadow knew, they were standing up without a flinch and all the pain was gone. Shadow had felt this feeling before earlier this morning while he was napping outside the school. He felt great, amazing, wonderful he couldn't explain it then he heard Jac-Jac yelling at Rage. He watched as Rage moved in agony on the floor while Jac-Jac was yelling.
Jac-Jac: Rage! I told you when we were little to never ever do that!You weren't strong enough then and I don't know if your...
Jac-Jac saw Shadow and her eyes went wide and her mouth ajar.
Jac-Jac: Oh my gods Rage please wake up, say something please anything… Rage.
Shadow: Jac-Jac what is going on?
Jac-Jac: I don't understand why she even dose this. Well Shadow since Rage is part demon she had certain powers that we can't explain. Like this power, it allows her to heal people that she feels deeply connected to. Then she matches her pulse to theirs, she uses her own life force and her pulse to heal that person. It's an amazing thing to watch if you're not the one she is healing and she found out about this power before she ever went thru the ceremony to become a demon in the first place.
Shadow: What does that have to do with it now?
Jac-Jac: Well when she was little and did this she would pass out and almost die on us. She was blacked out for almost days at a time Shadow.
Shadow: But she is only blacked-out now.
Jac-Jac: Shadow she has never done two hedgehogs before ever, it could be weeks before she ever wakes up if she hasn't died yet!
AHHHH NO RAGE DON'T DIE! Stay with to see what happens next! Please read & review!
