On the other side of the portal I appear in a plain white living room. Taking one quick glance around me I can see a 64" flat screen, surround sound T.V, a long black couch, a wooden coffee table, and a hallway leading to the kitchen. Nothing of interest to me. Instead wasting my time here or waiting for the others to come through the portal I head straight upstairs to clam my room.

Upstairs was set up exactly like at the other house, except Botan's, Keiko, and Yukina's rooms were not in the equation. Walking into my room I can see that Koenma tried to keep everything as close to the normal house as possible.

I sigh dropping my bag off in the corner of my room. I don't figure that this mission is going to take too long since we just have capture or kill this demon and be on our way. I don't see how Kurama thinks this mission would take over a week to complete, but I won't let it take that long. I plan on getting the demon alone tomorrow and killing him. Some low class demon won't stand in my way and the sooner I kill the demon the more loyal Koenma with think I am. Killing this demon quickly will only serve to help me in every aspect.

"You're planning something again, are you not?" My sister says strolling by my room. I had forgotten to close the door on my way in here and had left it cracked ever so slightly.

"Why do you ask?" I reply in my normal cold dark voice. Judging by the way she stifled at my voice the ice in my voice must have caught her off guard. It's rare for her to hear my voice so cold directed at her. It's never light and airy like her voice is, but it's never quite so cold.

"I'm sorry I just wanted to talk to you for a bit. You just seem more distant since we moved in with the guys and other girls. I didn't mean to make you mad." Abruptly she turns and begins to scamper off with her bag thrown over her shoulder.

"Karen," I say calmly as I twirl my wrist with my index finger in the air. In mid air Karen is brought into my room and dropped on to the floor by my dark strands. Slowly they slither away from her, now done with my bidding, and return to the shadows. For a moment I watch my little shadows shift, restless, and anxious for a job. With a slight adjustment of my attention I look back to my sister.

"I never said I was mad, you had simply disturbed me. The reason I haven't been around you at all is because you're always around the others. Out of all of them there is only one that I can tolerate and he is never around them either, so there is no need for me to be around the crowd you hang out with. This is how we always live Karen. The only time I have to be around you is when we out there alone. I still portal the area and make sure that you won't get hurt, but there is no need for me to be by your side 24/7." If Karen truly watched my actions she would realize that there is more behind my distance. I haven't grown to truly trust this group of demons and humans alike, but I know that they won't let Karen become hurt because they care about her. To them she is another member of their family, but I am still nothing more than someone they have to put up with me. I know that a lot of their actions are them being nice or trying to get me to become closer, but I don't think a single one of them truly care about me other than Hiei. I believe part of the only reason that the others try is because they care about Karen and Hiei.

"I wish you would give them more of a try. They are all really nice people Karen; you just need to give people a try." Karen has now reduced herself to begging me. How pathetic.

"You're the people person, not me."

"You used to be!"

"Karen, enough," I command as my voice booms with a shaking authority causing the whole house to quiver in the presence of my command. With a deep set glare I look at my sister warning her not to press this matter any farther.

"I am not that little foolish girl Karen and neither are you. That day those damned demons died your clod heart melted and my warm heart froze. We are not who we used to be. I will never be that weak again! I am the fighter you are the lover. Ever since that day you can't even bring yourself to kill Karen. Without a person to protect you, you would die because are to kind. To balance that out I am as cold as I am. That is the way of the Yin and Yang. I am not you Karen I don't have a heart." I stand up and walk out of the room. I walk past all of the guys and all of them except Hiei watch in shock as I leave my sister about to cry from the harshness of my words. I have no regret, though; this is what she needed to hear. I will never lie to Karen, but I will tell her the truth and if I have to hurt her to do it then I will. Hiei understands this and that's why he isn't fazed by words like the others.

"Karen," Kurama speaks softly as he runs towards my sister to comfort her.

I hate begin surrounded by humans more than I do begin around a half breed. Everywhere I look my eyes are burned by the sight of ignorant, happy, carefree or overly stressed humans. They are so happy to be weak, pathetic, disgrace to life humans. They go around not realizing that they mock the very things that run their lives. In a second if it wanted to I could easily reduce this city to ashes, yet they do not believe that I even exist. Humans think of us demons as nothing more than some story made up to scare them as little kids. Yet I am forced to walk the very same ground as them, breath the polluted air that they have ruined, eat the disgusting food that they eat day in and day out. I am forced to act like them as I am forced to walk along side them. That is why they no longer fear us as they should and why they laugh as they dress up as us and go from door to door trick-or-treating once a year. Humans will fantasies about us, but they do not even know that we truly exist and most of the time they don't even know what our lives are really like yet they claim to know us. Humans make me sick; at least half breeds know what they're talking about usually.

"Well aren't you a cute little demon." I narrow my eyes at the sound of a thick husky voice.

"And who do you think you are," I snap turning around to see Stephen Hon, Aka Alex Romares.

"My name is Alex Romares. It is a pleasure to meet you." I can see how he manages to capture so many women. Confident radiance from his essence as from his essence as he gracefully slips his hand under mine and brings my hand up to his lips, leaning over in a bow as he softly plants his lips on the center of top of my hand.

"I'm not interested," I snap, snatching my hand away from his lips.

"Do you mind if I ask what type of demon you are? I have never smelt something so exotic."

"Darkness," I answer darkly.

"Oh, so you are of the clan of Darkness, the worshipers of the Dark Goddess and the Dark Twin. That would explain why I have never smelt something so exotic," he says adding the last sentence more to himself.

"No, I am the Darkness Twin." I have heard of the clan Darkness before, but I have never been there myself and having this Wolf Demon insults me by calling my one of my worshipers irritated me to no end.

"My apologizes," Stephen says getting down on one knee and bowing his head. "I meant you no insult your highness, I simply did not know. Please excuse my ignorance."

"Get up," I say coldly and turn my back to him. I don't want worshipers and the fact that Stephen is bowing down at my feet bugs me. I plan o taking control of all three worlds, but that's not so that I can have people bowing at my feet, but so that Karen can live a happy carefree life without having to worry about her needing protection all the time.

"May I ask your name?"

"Desera," I say clearly annoyed.

"You're name has no meaning behind it. It doesn't even truly exist."

"I know, because the Darkness Twin is nothing more than a tool to protect their twin. Why bother giving a name of meaning to something like that."

"With your power you should forget about that role assigned to every Darkness Twin. Your Twin Karen would be better off without you."

"Since you know so much about names you should know what Karen means." Stephen was warring quickly what little patients I have and if it wasn't for me being in public he would already be dead.

"In early Greek what was each of the two, related to Aikia which stands for torture but in early Christian ear the meaning came to mean pure. In away her name means the pure of each other the two tortured."

"Desera," I hear Hiei says coldly behind me.

"Hiei the Forbidden Child," Stephen says picking another fight.

"Is he…"

"Yes," I reply answering his unfinished question.

"Why haven't-"

"Look where we are," I say cutting him off. I didn't want Stephen to know my true purpose of being in this town and since we don't know what powers he has Hiei can't use telepathy safely. For Hiei to use telepathy and have it work we would both have to lower our shields over our minds. If Stephen does have telepathy himself everything would be ruined.

"I take it you both already know me then," Stephen guesses and Hiei and I turn our attention back to him.

"How much do you both know and this demon here wouldn't be servant would it?"

"I'm going to-"

"Hiei no," I say putting my hand in front of him and stopping him from pulling out his blade to any farther than he already has.

"Hiei is not my servant and I advise you keep your mouth shut if you want to live Stephen." I wanted him to know that I know very well who he really is and that he hasn't fooled anyone.

"So you carry around the Forbidden Child, but you leave your sister alone. Interesting." Stephen was assessing what he can gather from what he sees in front of him while avoiding my call out.

"Who's to say I don't already have an army. It's no secret that I plan on taking over the three worlds. I would never leave Karen unprotected." I'm challenging him, just as he has challenged me time and time again. Stephen was pushing the limit of my control and with my irritation simply because of the humans around us I'm not sure how much longer I can keep control over my powers.

"Desera," Hiei says and I turn to look at him.

"I'm coming," I reply turning my back to Stephen and leaving with Hiei.

I can't wait to rip his throat out. On my way back home this one thought is what keeps me company. I had to deal with Stephen for less than five minutes and he managed to piss me off. Stephen is another demon but he pisses me off more than a human or a half breed.

"Desera, your shadows." Hiei warns me as we walk side by side. We haven't spoken a word to each other.

"I don't care," I reply letting my darkness seep out and like little tentacles spreading out over the sidewalk and into the street. Cars rolling over the tentacles suddenly malfunction and the humans who step on them fall to the ground screaming in pain as the clutch their heads. Humans and machinery are too weak to handle the power of darkness. I can careless personally since this isn't even half of my power and with the bracelet on at all times at 25% of my full power, something I had discovered while talking to Koenma a couple of days ago. If I was at full power right now any human within a 200,000 mile radius would be dead. That mile radius isn't simply because I'm pissed, in fact that is my normal power range when I'm not surprising it as I normally do if I let go of my control while I'm pissed any human on this planet would be dead and any demon not at A class would be dead as well.

"We're not going to the house," Hiei says as I turn to walk down the street the house is on.

"Then where do you plan on taking me?" I ask turning to look at Hiei.

"Does it matter?"

"No." not caring I follow Hiei as he leads me towards some woods. In silence I follow him deep into the woods and when we finally find a place he seems to approve of he jumps into the tree and lean his back against it. I follow his lead, but instead of leaning against the tree I lean against him. Without hesitation Hiei wraps his arms around me and pull me close to him. Instantly I found myself relax and the anger disappearing. The comfort and feeling of content that only Hiei can bring me replaces the negativity that had filled me just a few seconds ago.
