"I heard some of the guards talking about a party coming up," Kaleb tells me as he talks off his palace army helmet and shakes his hair out. "I got us a couple of invitations as well so that we could sneak in. Knowing Duana this is when she'll make her big move. She always liked to make a scene when a person crossed her. She had once said that she'll make sure no one will ever cross a twin again. What better way to do it then to show everyone that Darkness Twins aren't afraid of the roles?"

"Then we need to head to the market and buy us some outfits." Kaleb nods his head in agreement and we head north towards the demon market.

Whoever said men are always waiting on the females and that women are the ones that spend hours to pick out that one perfect dress were way off the marker. I search for almost ten minutes and couldn't find anything that I liked and still went with my blue hair that almost went down to my back, so I died it black and cut it to my shoulder blades and added layers. There was one dress that I really liked it was blood red and laced up in the back. The front acted much like a corset with black lace in around the edge. The sleeves were a set of red ribbon that laced down my arm and tied off at the end by wrists. The dress then switched from red to black at the legs with twisting red vines and roses to go with a black rose stitching on the corset part that had a vine leading down to the bottom half of the dress. I grabbed a pair of black high heels that would go nicely with the ankle length dress. And even with all the time spent which was about thirty minutes Kaleb hasn't even picked out his tux or tie that he would like.

"You are slow," I complain to Kaleb then grab him a black tux with a red tie and pay the women that owned both the dress and tux shop with the money from the bandits we've killed.

"Wait," Kaleb calls as I'm dragging him out.

"We don't have time, if someone spots me-"

"You don't even look like you," Kaleb stops and I turn and look at him.

"My eyes Kaleb those will never change and I have seen people know who I am by my eyes right before I kill them. I can change my hair, change my voice and people will still recognize me by my eyes."

"Then we'll get you contacts for the party." I think about what Kaleb says and it makes sense.

"Alright, how about crimson red," I say thinking of how much I miss staring into Hiei's crimson red eyes.

Lately I've been thinking about what Keonma had said about Hiei left to go after me and how with this path I could have him. I' think about it time and time again and debate if I really could while still doing my job. I've had Kaleb by my side for almost half a year now, just a month shy. I've managed to still protect Karen and Kaleb hasn't compromised that. He seems to understand my job, much like Hiei did and in quiet a few ways he gives off that same strange Aura Hiei had. I'm not in the least bit attracted to him, but their Auras are very similar.

"I think ice blue would stick out with that dress of your, but sure," Kaleb says smiling obviously understanding my reason behind my choice.

.::Kaleb's POV::.

"Did you get the tux and tie like I told you," Kaleb asks Hiei as he hands him the invitation to the party he and Desera were planning on going.

"Hn, of course."

"I think after this party and seeing Duana and I together will be the last little push she needs. Lately I've noticed her thinking about being with you and after tonight she'll want to find you again."

.::Desera's POV::.

It was finally the party day. I was ready and set to go with my hair in a fancy hair style. My sides were twisted to the back and connected to a clip that had my hair up off my neck and falling out in a sporadic aspect. It looked nice and had a fancy touch to it that I liked. I didn't add any makeup since I felt like I didn't need any and I personally hate makeup. Once I've laced myself up I head over to Kaleb to see he wasn't even finished. Apparently he didn't know how to tie his tie. I sigh and do it for him.

"You ready to finally see her again after all these years," I ask thinking of what it must be like for him to finally see his mate after all these years.

"I just wish you had your mate," Kaleb smiles lightly to himself then looks up at me. "Desera, I just want to thank you for everything you've done for me. I wouldn't be reuniting with Duana if it wasn't for you. I've enjoyed my time with you, so thank you."

"You're the one that's helped me. Who knows where I'd be right now if I didn't have this to give me a reason to get up every morning." I was blowing it off as if none of it meant anything to me, but honestly I was happy for him. After ten years he was finally going to be reunited with Duana. I was a bit envious of them as well because they would get to happily be together.

Maybe Hiei and me will get to be together one day as well, I think to myself.

"Well let's go the party starts in about an hour and it's going to take us that long just to get there," Kaleb says pulling my attention up to him.

I have officially decided that high heels are the worse invention ever created. My feet ached and we just got to the palace. There was no way I was going to be able to make it through this night without killing something or someone. We made it through the door with no problem, but the music just seemed to make my mood worse; slow classical interments that would put me to sleep.

The party didn't make it any better. All everyone talked about was about their power and bragging about their position in the government. I really just wanted to say 'Who gives a fuck! I can kill you all right now in seconds flat just by releasing my true power! Who's powerful now?' Of course I'd never be allowed to do that and I just smile and continued chatting to them along side Kaleb.

"Attention everyone," a female voice called from the top if the terrace that looked out on the party. Immediately everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to a female that pulled off her silver wig to reveal long locks of purple waves that cascaded down her back.

"For those of you that don't know who I am; I'm Duana the previous Darkness Twin and for those of you that don't know who this is," she says as she pulls up the man with the scare on his face by the back of his tux collar, "he is Head Commander of the Palace Guard, Baku Avian. Tonight I'd like to make a warning to all of you that go after the Light and Darkness Twin. Even when the Darkness Twin is stripped of their powers they will still search you down for acting against them. The Light Twin might be more lean yet, but after tonight no one will ever mess with one of the twins again." At that moment Duana summons up a large amount of spirit and I watch as everyone begins to scream because she had just summoned the fire dragon from hell. She has just preformed the immortal flame.

"That's a Darkness Twin at heart," I smirk to myself and close my eyes at the sweet sound of screams in fear. It was always such a heavenly sound to my ears. The sound of music it was.

As everyone continues to yell and try to exit the building, though the dragon was already gone, Kaleb and I make out way up to the terrace. As Kaleb runs up the last few stair, unable to contain his joy any longer I stand back a bit to allow the two a comment to themselves.

"Duana," Kaleb calls and Duana turns to look at Kaleb. I could tell that she recognized Kaleb instantly as her eyes widen and she smiles, her eyes softening at the sight of him.

"Kaleb what are you doing here," she demands, but Kaleb just shakes his head as he answers her.

"Does it matter?" She doesn't reply, but she doesn't need to. Instead I watch as the two embrace in a hug and kiss.

Seeing Kaleb and Duana so happy causes me to smile a bit, hurt more than ever before. I needed Hiei in my life and I realize this now more than ever. I've told myself for over half a year now that I didn't need him in my life and that he only made unnecessary complications in my job as a Darkness twin, but in reality it was me just running away.

"The only thing I'm really good at," I laugh to myself with no humor in my voice and wipe away a tear that slipped out.

"Wait, Desera," Kaleb calls and I turn to look at him. His smile dropped when he saw me, but Duana looks at me with slightly widen eyes.

"You're the current Darkness Twin, but where is the Light Twin?"

"A place much safer than with me. I attracted the demons so I've left her with the Spirit Detective team where she can be loved and cared for while I protect her from a distance."

"So you realized it as well," she asks stepping away from Kaleb and towards me. "What made you trust them?"

"Forced time with them, knowing everything there is to know, having a better understanding and lay out than the makers of the ground themselves, and seeing how much they love her." She nods her head.

"You trusted them with her life as much as I trusted Aonani with Kaleb." I nod my head not saying anything else and turn to leave.

"Wait," Duana calls and I turn to look at her.

"Thank you." I shake my head no, not feeling as if I deserved it.

"I'm just giving you what I've wanted for myself." Before either of them could say anything else to me I hop off the terrace and walk out into the cold nights biting air.

"I'll start searching for him tomorrow. Keonma said he left to look for me, so maybe if I back petal a little I'll find him." I was thinking out loud after being so used to explaining my train of thought with Kaleb.

"Or just turn around." I turn around shocked to hear that cold monotone voice that made my heart skip a beat.

"How," I ask as I take in the full view of Hiei in his black tux and crimson red tie.

"He found us a while ago; I just made him wait until you were ready before showing himself." I look up past Hiei to find Kaleb and Duana walking up to me.

I rush up towards Hiei unable to hold it in any long and wrap my arms around him barring my nose in his neck, where his scent was strongest and just hold him close to me. Without a moment of hesitation Hiei as well wraps his arms around me and I could tell that he was hurting as much as I was right now.

"I never had another mate Hiei, I only said that so you wouldn't follow me.'

"I know," he answers and I pull my head back to kiss him. He felt exactly as he had when I left. This time I wasn't going to be leaving him though.
