Faylinn turn to the voice that had caught her. "Desdemona…" She murmured.

There stood a small girl. Her hair barely covered the tiny horns on her head.

This was the woman that started the uprising against her mother and then kicked her out when she should have rightfully taken the seat of power after her mother's death.

"I was just leaving…" Faylinn murmured as she inched slowly away from Desdemona.

"Oh no. You won't be leaving." Desdemona hissed as she stalked the elf. "You were warned."

"I know… I promise I'll leave."

Desdemona sneered and pulled out a crooked blade. "You're not getting a second chance to live…"

"You again…" Kurama growled as he slid through the slats. "You're the person who started this whole mess almost a thousand years ago."

Desdemona stared at the red head. "I don't know who you are or what your talking about."

Kurama smirked and Faylinn knew instantly who was in control. In a quick flash of light the red headed human no longer stood near her, but the tall silver haired, golden eyed, Kistune stood beside her now.

"Of course I know what I'm talking about… You were the one that caused a rift between everyone. You wanted Cytheria out of the way so badly that you had the castle attacked nearly killing Kuronue. In fact, because of that you could say you were the cause of Morna's death as well."

"Yoko!" She exclaimed as she leapt backwards. "But you died!"

"No… I didn't actually die; a baby saved me. Now…" Yoko stalked to the stunned girl. "You will let us leave…" He slid his arm around her back as he gazed into her eyes.

Her body jerked as her eyelids fluttered and a small trail of blood slid down the corner of her mouth. Her eyes rolled back into her head as her body fell to the ground.

"Let's go." Yoko commanded, not turning back to Faylinn. "You need to get that stone back to Moon or she'll be dead within the next day."

"Right…" Faylinn murmured as she stepped over the dead body, there was a whole on the left side of her chest.

'I guess he is more dangerous than I was lead to believe…' She thought to herself, she knew how the hole got there.

Weaving their way through the castle she watched the back of the demon before her, was he always so heartless or was this brought on by the death of the woman he loved…? She had no idea but she didn't even know if she wanted to find out.

Lifting her scarf she checked the stone.

'Good… No cracks…' She only had one chance at this, only one chance to save Moon's life.

"Just one chance…" She skidded to a halt; they were passing the clearing.

'Hang on a moment…' She caught herself as she stared into the clearing. 'You get one chance to stop one thing on a person. But can't the stone be used multiple times…? So doesn't that mean…'

"That I could possibly bring my Aunt back from being frozen… And possibly bring her back from death…?" She turned and gazed in the direction they had been running, she was sure Yoko hadn't noticed she stopped. "And couldn't I possibly split them back into two separate people…?" She turned to her mother. "I don't know if I can save someone after they have died, but I know you said your sister hadn't died just yet. That she had left to go 'die alone' but doesn't that mean she froze herself alive…? Oh mom maybe I can set things right. Maybe I can do what you always wanted to do and give Yoko and Cytheria a chance to be together publicly. But first… I have to save Moon."

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Faylinn skidded around the corner, nearly slamming up against the doorframe.

"Here." She panted as she held up the stone. "I have it Koenma."

"Good now hand it over."

"Not in a hells chance."

Koenma, Yuske, Kuwabara, and Kurama all gazed at Faylinn.

"I was the one to receive I want to keep it."

Koenma opened his mouth in frustration but Faylinn continued.

"Oh no, don't get me wrong. I want to save Moon just as much as anyone in here, but if it works, and she lives, I'm keeping this stone. I have other ideas for it."

"You're a prisoner, you have been condemned. You will not be keeping that stone."

"You have No idea what this thing can do! I might have the possibility to correct things that other people have wanted to fix." She ran over to Kurama. "I could release Yoko from his body and set them apart as two separate beings with fully functioning bodies so that they won't die once separate. I could bring my Aunt back from the brink of death and possibly fix the problem that was causing her to die in the first place. She could have the chance she missed in her first life." She stopped and looked up at Koenma. "I know how much you have wanted to get your hands on the extinct love Youkai. This could be your chance to find out what they were once like! She's half love Youkai; she's your insight to that race. If this stone lives up to it's history there are so many things I can do. I can atone for the things I have done before now. I can set things right. Please…" She begged as she turned back to Koenma. "This stone could be my redemption."

Koenma stared down at the elf in silence. "If that stone can save Moon and still work on the things you have already listed I will see if you can keep it."

"Do I get my Elvin life back? Will I get the stuff back that you have taken from me? I'll need it to continue working with the stone. It was an elf stone, it only really works for an elf."

"Save Moon and we'll talk."
