Hi sorry about the long wait. I was sick for a while. Anyways thank you for all your reviews. Also a special thanks to my beta.
Oh and one thing before I continue. In this story Yukio does not have demon powers.
Ok on to the story.
.
Shiemi's POV
.
I woke up feeling better and a lot less sore. I stretched and blinked a few times.
"Hey, I think she's awake!" I heard Renzo say.
"Yeah, we can see that," Izumo said as she walked over.
"How are you feeling?" Konekomaru asked worriedly.
"What happened?" I asked groggily.
"You almost became Tyler's next victim," Konekomaru said darkly.
"We came when we heard you scream, but we all we found was blood," Izumo said. "We decided to go looking for you."
"We thought Tyler had dragged you off somewhere and killed you!" Renzo exclaimed. "Luckily, Yukio found you and brought you here."
"Where did he find me?" I asked, thinking of the garden.
"He said he found you in a hallway somewhere," Izumo said.
"You are lucky to be alive," Renzo said frowning. "You were in some sort of shock, and there was poison in your blood. You flatlined, and they had to resuscitate you. We were afraid that we lost you."
"I died?" I askedi looking shocked. "Then that wasn't a dream! I really did see Rin and Bon!"
"What?!" Konekomaru exclaimed. "What do you mean you saw them? What happened?"
"I was walking back to the classroom when I saw Tyler talking to a demon. When they noticed that I saw them, Tyler set the demon on me. After that, I woke up in a garden."
"Wait, a garden?" Renzo asked surprised. "You mean one of the school's gardens?"
"No, this garden was beautiful. It was full of so many flowers I had never seen before. It was nothing like the school gardens."
"But there's no gardens like that in the school." Konekomaru said frowning.
"Maybe she'll explain if you stop interrupting," Izumo said, annoyed.
"Right, sorry," The boys muttered in unison.
"So, you woke up in a garden; then what happened?" Izumo asked, turning to me.
"Well, it wasn't what happened that was so shocking, it was who was there," I said quietly. "I saw Rin and Bon in the garden."
"But that's impossible," Konekomaru said.
"Where you dreaming?" Izumo asked.
"I thought that at first, but if my heart stopped beating then maybe I temporarily died and went to where Rin and Bon were."
"That's creepy," Renzo said, shaking his head,
"Not really, it was actually very peaceful," I said smiling. "Bon and Rin were talking about what was going to happen to me. Rin said I was going to be sent back, and Bon said he'd wish I could stay so they could explain everything to me. It was so good to see them again. I-I miss them so much." I gave a small sob and buried my head in my pillow. The three of them eyed each other, not sure what to say.
"Hey," Konekomaru finally said. "It's going to be all right. We'll find a way to stop Tyler. Okay?"
"We better," Izumo said. "There's a good chance Tyler's going to come after Shiemi now that she survived his last attack."
"I didn't think of that," Renzo said, paling.
"I can't take it anymore!" Konekomaru said, putting his head in his hands. "Rin and Bon are dead and now he's going after Shiemi?! I couldn't take it if any more of you guys died."
"Calm down!" Izumo said. "It's time to really get down to it and start planning. We need to find a way to take down Tyler!"
"Hey," Renzo said. "Maybe we should question Yukio. I bet he'll know what Tyler's weaknesses are."
"Do you think he'd tell us?" Konekomaru asked.
"Of course he will!" I exclaimed. "His own brother died. I bet if someone wasn't holding him back he'd kill Tyler himself."
"Once we find out what Tyler's weaknesses are, we can use them to our advantage," Izumo said.
"Right; Renzo and I will question him after class," Konekomaru said, standing up.
"You guys are heading to class now?" I asked.
"I'm not," Izumo said. "It's my turn to stay with you."
"You don't need to!" I said. "Don't you need to be in class to?"
"I do, but we need to take turns guarding you," Izumo said. "You can't fight in your condition and there's a good chance Tyler will attack you again."
"Oh," I said, feeling embarrassed.
"See you two later!" Renzo said, standing up. The boys left the room.
"The nurse said you'll be out by tomorrow afternoon," Izumo said. "Now that all the poison is out of your system, you just need some rest."
"Oh," I said quietly. An awkward silence fell.
"So," Izumo said after a few minutes. "How are you feeling?"
"Tired," I said. "And kind of sad. I miss Rin and Bon again." I felt a tear fall down my face.
"You should get some rest," Izumo said. I nodded and lay back down.

Rin's POV
In the garden…
.
"So she's alright?" Bon asked worriedly.
"Yeah, we were able to get the poison out of her in time," Yukio said.
"I can't believe it," I snarled. "I bet they sent that demon out to watch me! It could have killed her! How much longer are they going to keep me in the dark?"
"I don't know Rin," Yukio sighed. "Just keep 'watching' me until you get another assignment."
"Why didn't we notice she was poisoned?" Bon asked, frowning. "When she woke up she seemed alright."
"When she woke up?!" Yukio exclaimed. "You mean she woke up?! What did she see? Did she see you?"
"Yeah, but I doubt she remembers anything," I said. "She was kind of out of it when she woke up, and I knocked her out pretty fast afterwards. I bet she'd just pass it off as a dream."
"I hope so," Yukio said. "And to answer your question Bon, she was in shock, so the poison was delayed for a little while. We have to get to class. Finish the homework I assigned to you Bon."
"Yeah okay," Bon grumbled, sitting down with his textbook. I shot him a pitying look before heading out to class. As we got closer to the classroom I fell back, and Yukio went ahead. There was no reason to walk in together. I would hate to see what idea that would give the others. They would think that Yukio was working for me or something. As I entered the classroom, I noticed Konekomaru and Renzo watching my every move.
"Why are they watching me like that?" I wondered as I sat down. "What are they trying to do, kill me with their eyes? Or maybe they are trying to find any weaknesses I might have. Or maybe they are planning to attack me today." I nervously looked over my shoulder at the two boys.
"Where's Ms. Kamiki?" Yukio asked as he set up for class.
"Izumo is staying with Shiemi," Renzo said.
"I see," Yukio said, sighing.
"When did this mission get so out of hand?" I mentally asked myself. "It was just an undercover mission. Sure, I didn't think it through about how everyone would have reacted to my 'death' but still! Bon is 'dead', Shiemi is hurt, and the other three are planning on attacking me. I really need to wrap this up before someone actually dies." I put my head down on my desk and tried to think up a way to get out of this mess.
Suddenly, the bell rang, and I sat up quickly.
"Remember, there's a quiz next week so be prepared," Yukio said as he packed up his stuff. I looked at the clock and realized that the class was over. Yawning I stood up and headed out of the classroom, Konekomaru's and Renzo's eyes following me as I left.
"Evergroth," I heard someone hiss quietly. I turned to see a dark figure hanging from the ceiling. As soon as it saw me looking at it, it slid into the shadows and darted down the hallway into a spare room. I sighed and followed it.
"What do you want?" I asked as I entered the classroom. "I already sent in a report on Yukio."
"You have a new assignment," It hissed at me. "Once you finish this one we will give you the information that you want."
"Okay, then what's my next assignment?" I asked, sighing.
"One of Maco's spy demons where killed a little while ago," It hissed angrily. "Whatever killed it had a large amount of demonic power."
"Oh no!" I thought worriedly. "That demon that attacked Shiemi! It must have been a spy demon. I shouldn't have killed it with my sword."
"Our spies have informed us that Yukio is the one who found a girl who was attacked by this demon," It continued. "If that's true, it means that Yukio has some powerful demonic powers. We could use these powers. Your new mission is to kidnap him and bring him down to our headquarters." I nodded, not sure if I should feel relieved or worried. They didn't know the power was from me but now they want to kidnap my brother.
"I'll bring him there tonight," I said. It smiled.
"Good, our leader will be waiting," It said and slunk out of the room. As soon as it was gone, I ran off to look for Yukio.
"This can't end well," I thought to myself as I ran down the hall.

Meanwhile…
Konekomaru's POV
.
The bell rang, and Yukio put down his book.
"Alright, class is over then. Remember there's a quiz next week, so be prepared," he said as he packed up his stuff. Tyler's head shot up from where he was sleeping, and he looked around in a daze.
"I wonder how deep he sleeps in class," I wondered as Renzo and I watched Tyler leave the room. "If he's a really deep sleeper, then it would be a good time to attack him."
"What was that?" Renzo asked suspiciously.
"What was what?" I asked. Renzo shook his head. "Never mind." I shrugged and started packing up my stuff. Renzo walked over to Yukio.
"Hey, can we talk to you for a second?" Renzo asked.
"Sure," Yukio said as he finished packing. "What's up?" I stood up and walked over to where they were talking.
"We need to know about Tyler Evergroth," said Renzo. Yukio's face darkened.
"I don't want to talk about him," He said darkly.
"Please," I said. "We need to know more about him!"
"No," Yukio said.
"Why won't he tell us anything?" I thought worriedly. "Is he afraid of something happening?"
"I noticed something strange when Tyler was leaving," Renzo said. "He had something around his neck. It looks like a necklace. Why is he hiding it under his shirt? Is it important?" Yukio's eyes widened.
"N-no it's not," he mumbled. "I need to get going." He stood up and hurried out of the room.
"I knew it," Renzo said smiling. "So it is important. We need to get it from him."
"Maybe we can take it off while he's sleeping," I suggested. "He sleeps through most of his classes."
"Good idea; let's head back and tell the girls what we found out," Renzo said.

Meanwhile…
Bon's POV
.
"Finally!" I thought, looking down at the thing in my hand. "It's not perfect but it will do. It's not like I'm trying to pretend to be someone else. I just want to be able to walk around the school without being found out." I slipped it over my head and felt my appearance changing.
"I don't know how long this will last," I muttered, "Hopefully before Rin or Yukio come back." It wasn't like I was going to get in trouble if Rin found out, but he can never stay quiet for long. I felt like I was going to go crazy if I stayed in the garden any longer. Picking some flowers to recharge the amulet, I headed to the door.
