After I had bought all my books, I headed over to where they sold messenger owls. I looked at a few of them, then noticed a boy scratching the ears of a large, black dog. His hair was long and pulled back in a ponytail, and his eyes were a bright yellow. He was wearing a hat that looked suspiciously made out of racoon fur, but the most noticeable thing about him was that he had a long, bushy tail that twitched behind him. Over his shoulder was a leather book bag that was filled with books, and in one of his hands he held a cauldron like the one required by Dragonscale.

Excited to meet a future classmate, I walked over to him. "Hello," I greeted. He nodded and smiled at me, and I noticed his teeth were slightly pointed. "I'm Hadrian."

"Koga Okamori," He said and patted his dog's head. "Are you a nekori?" I asked him, even though the answer was obvious. "Yep," He answered.

I looked at his black dog. "What kind of breed is that?" I asked, unsure of his pet's gender. Koga laughed. "This is Kurai, my wolf."

I stared at him. "I'm sorry… but did you say wolf?" He nodded.

"Don't be too surprised Hadrian. You have a snake."

I spun around and saw Sairen wearing her usual basebal cap and jeans with a Harley Quinn tank top. She too carried a cauldron and bookbag.

"Who's this?" She asked and eyed Koga.

"I'm Koga Okamori," He said again, his tail swishing behind him.

Sairen grinned.

"I didn't know there were more Wizarding Nekori!" She exclaimed. Koga raised an eyebrow, and she realized she was wearing her illusion cap. She quickly took it off, revealing her ginger ears and tail. "Sweet," Koga said. "I didn't know female fur came in that color."

Feeling left out of their conversation, I asked "So are you going to bring Kurai to Dragonscale?"

Koga nodded. "I'll try. Sometimes the headmaster makes an acceptance."

I nodded, and then the lightbulb went off. "Hey Sairen, do you think I can smuggle Toel in?"

Koga blinked. "Who's Toel?"

Sairen answered me like she didn't hear him. "Depends on his mood I guess."

"I guess you're right…" I muttered and trailed off.

Koga's tail lashed in irritation. "Uh, hello?" He said and waved his arms to get our attention. "Who's Toel?"

"My pet garter snake." I answered. Koga blinked. "Oh." Sairen giggled, then turned towards the owl shop. "Hmmmm… Do you guys think I should get one?"

I shrugged. "Go for it." She grinned and put her cap back on. "Be right back!" She exclaimed and ran inside.

"So… where do you live?" I asked Koga. He sighed. "America."

My jaw dropped. "I didn't think Americans were wizards!"

Koga laughed. "My family moved here a few years back. With the majority of my family being Wizards, it made things easier."

"That does make sense…"

"Hey Aster."

"What?" Aster asked, irritated.

"Are we close to England yet?"

I rolled my eyes at them. Honestly, Amaimon- I mean Amon - can be such a pain!

"We just left Asia and will be in Austria soon," Aster replied. "So yes, we're close."

I looked at the two of them. Without the madness of Gehenna and Satan breathing down their necks, they behaved just like normal teenagers. I, on the other hand, act like a proper composed eleven year old.

Unless you wave catnip in my face.

"So I have a question," I started. Aster and Amon looked at me. "Yes?" Aster said.

"Are we going to just keep an eye on Rin or just take him to Gehenna?"

Aster looked thoughtful, and Amon groaned. "Thanks Niji," He said sarcastically. "Aster has a new plan!"

Aster shot Amon a look that said 'Shut up or I'll kill you.' Then he turned towards me and said "We should follow him and gain his trust. That way it'll be easier for us to explain things to him."

Amon sighed. "Just great." He complained, which earned him a Reaper Chop from Aster. I smiled at them, taking in the scene.

When it's time to leave for Gehenna, will they really want to leave? Will I?

"I decided to name her Sky." Sairen told me as she stroked her new owl's feathers. Sky was a barn owl with golden brown feathers on her wings and large, black beady eyes. Sairen seemed very ecstatic to own an owl.

"Are you going to get one Koga?" I asked him as we made our way towards the cauldron shop.

"Nah," He said. "I've already got myself a messenger wolf." He grinned and scratched Kurai's ears, earning a pleased rumble.

"Where's Toel?" He asked me. "At home," I replied, picturing him curled up in his snake hole, complaining about the 'horrible treatment' I give him.

"He's kinda grumpy, but once you get past that, he's actually quite nice."

"So, you're a Two Tongue then?" Koga asked with a hint of menace.

"Two Tongue?" I repeated, confused. Sairen sighed. "Hadrian's a muggle born." She explained.

Koga's eyes lit up with understanding and he went on to explain. "A Two Tongue is a person who can talk to and control snakes," He said. "Usually they're in Snaketail."

The way he spat out Snaketail didn't make me too eager to find out what he was talking about, but he explained it to me anyways.

"Most kids who get sorted in there come out as Black magic wizards, or cause trouble for the Ministry by becoming Soul Eaters."

Both Koga and Sairen shuddered at the word, and Shioden alley didn't seem to welcoming all of a sudden.

"Soul Eaters? Like people who actually eat souls?"

"Not quite," Sairen said and sat down on the curb in front of the cauldron shop. Koga and I sat down beside her, with Sairen in the middle. Kurai seemed to keep watch, but he didn't wander too far from Koga.

"You know that Satan exists, right?" She asked Koga, who nodded. He seemed a bit uncomfortable at the question. "Yes," He answered. "I've always been able to see demons."

I shuddered at the idea of seeing them when other people couldn't. Maybe even his own family…

Returning to the original topic, Sairen said "There are some people who believe Assiah and Gehenna should be united. Under the rule of an exorcist called Daemon Storm, they tried to create a massive Gehenna gate so that they could purge Assiah of human weakness." Sairen shuddered, and Kurai whimpered and nosed Koga.

"Well, obviously they didn't do it," I said nervously. "Right?"

"Remember what I told you about the legend of Riddle?" I nodded, remembering the familiar feeling of dread as it creeped into my stomach, but I ignored it.

"Well, a Gehenna gate needs Satan's blood to work, and they had the next best thing- a Son of Satan."

I gulped, and fear gripped me like iron, and no amount of courage could make it let my soul go.

"Was his name… Daavd Riddle?" I cringed slightly, and I already knew the answer before Sairen replied with "Yes."

Sorry for the break- the next part was written by VocaMonster! She wanted to add to this because she founf my ending insuficient.

Plus she wanted to help out my "Fox-dung."

Ever read warriors? No/Yes?

Oh come on Lucy, who cares if they have or not?

Hi Voca! S I G H...

I read that, you know.

Oooooh I'm SOOOO scared.

You should be.

Grrr...

Just igonore her. Anyways, all the words below this BELONG TO ME! GOT IT? ME!

Yeah right.

"I'm sick of walking!" Amon complained and flopped onto the grass. "And if you expect me to crawl over those mountains, you're dead wrong."

Aster sighed and looked around. We were in a large meadow and it didn't seem like any humans were around.

"Why don't you switch back into demon mode?" Aster suggested to me. "It'll make things a lot faster."

Amon perked up at this, and I could only sigh. "Fine," I grumbled and they gave each other high-fives. "But when we get to England, I have to switch back, agreed?"

"Agreed." They said in unison, and I changed into a cat sidhe again and grew my size until I was big enough for Aster and Amon to ride on my back.

"Hold on!" I yowled and took off, flying through the sky. Amon whooped and cheered, and Aster looked ready to give him a head dent.

I looked at the large black sky and the grass below, and I realized I had already made my decision.

"I'm not leaving," I decided as I thought to myself. I glanced back at the two demon kings who seemed to be having the time of their lives.

I don't think they will either…

Panic rose up inside me. Daavd Riddle was a Son of Satan. My last name is Riddle.

Coincidence? I sure hope so…

The idea of myself spouting blue flames and killing people seemed crazy, but it did make there was a fight, I was there, either a part of it or picking sides and helping somebody win. Teachers whispered behind my back, calling me a demon, but I never believed them.

But now…

Maybe those dreams aren't even really dreams. Maybe the reason why I always think my tail is gone is that it's supposed to be there… and it isn't.

I felt sick, and I didn't think I could keep my lunch down.

I leaped to my feet and ran down to the nearest drain, and just in time too, because my stomach chose that very moment to hurl it all out.

Sairen and Koga ran over to me, and Koga handed me a water bottle to rinse out the foul taste of stomach bile.

"Are you okay?" Sairen asked me, concern etched in her voice.

I nodded and gave her a weak smile. "I'm alright," I lied. "It was something I ate."

So there you have it. A GOOD chapter.

Not very nice, you know.

I don't care. Now then, can you awesome readers PLEASE reveiew? My sis is getting bored and ticked off because it seems that no one is apreciating her hard work.

Shouldn't you dumb that down a bit?

Why?

Well, they're HUMANS. They aren't exactly the smartest species...

Oh shut up already.

DAD! Oh, we were just... um...

Lucy did it.

I DID NOT!

*Raises eyebrow* Lucy, Gehenna, NOW.

But dad-

No buts. Unless you want to explain to me why an angel's feathers are strewn all across my throne, you are confined to your room.

But I-

I don't want to hear it. Room, NOW.

*Makes Gehenna gate*

*Enters Gehenna gate*

*Whistles* Well then, I guess I'm going to be writing for you guys a bit longer than Lucy thought. I hope you enjoyed our family drama!
