Chapter 20a:
From the unearthly darkness that surrounded Sessaru, a hand laid on Sessaru's shoulder and he was white as a ghost.

"Listen boy and listen well. Tell me what I want to know and you shall live." The woman's voice says and the glint of a razor sharp knife catches Sessaru's eye.

"(Who is that?)" Ashen asks.

"(That would be Kareen. Just stay calm.)" Sessaru replies.

"Tell me where Nara is." Kareen says.

"(Why does she want Nara?)" Ashen asks.

"(She is his vassal.)" Sessaru replies.

"(She seems rather pissed.)" Ashen says.

"(No shit. She hasn't seen or heard from Nara in 750 years.)" Sessaru says.

"Last chance human, before you meet your maker." Kareen says holding the knife to Sessaru's throat.

Sessaru smiles to himself and hands control over to Ashen.

"(What the hell are you doing?)" Ashen asks.

"(Relax. Just tell her what she wants to know and you'll be fine. Trust me.)" Sessaru says with a chuckle.

"He's on the couch." Ashen says in almost a whisper.

Kareen removes the knife from his throat and silently walks to the couch. She looks down at Nara who is sleeping peacefully.

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..........." Nara says snoring in a deep relaxing sleep.

From out of nowhere, Kareen punches Nara in the stomach with so much force that the couch crumbles to small pieces and the windows shatter throughout the entire house. Underneath of what used to be the couch is a large crater in solid marble. It's about a five feet deep in the center and about three feet in circumference. The marble pillars around the room are also cracked.

Nara lays there holding his stomach groaning in pain.

"WHAT THE FU..... OH SHIT!!!" Nara says and bolts for the door.

Ta walks in the room and gets knocked down by Nara. Nara leaps out the window and runs full speed down the driveway.

Kareen walks calmly to the window and draws her bow. She aims and fires. Seconds later there is a loud crash and cars honking.

Nara is embedded in the side of a pickup truck and his legs are laying under the trailer tires of a semi. There is a single arrow through both of his knees pinning them together. The drivers of the cars are all pinned in their vehicles and a matter of seconds go by before the pickup truck explodes sending Nara flying. The explosion kills all the people in their cars and Nara lands at Kareen's feet.

"You done?" Kareen asks.

"(coughs up a large cloud of smoke) Yeah." Nara says and is dragged inside by his hair.

He is tossed into a chair and Kareen kneels before him.

"My lord it is good to see you alive and well." Kareen says.

Nara raises his eyebrow and looks at her.

Ta gets up and sees Kareen. He drops his sandwich and heads for the door.

He opens it and sees 3 women standing there.

"Oh shit." Ta says and slams the door shut.

"Lord Ta open the door." One woman says pounding on the door.

"Can't. It seems to be locked." Ta replies holding the door closed and locking it.

"Well unlock it my lord." The woman replies.

"Don't have the key." Ta says.

Suddenly a hand comes through the door and grabs him by the throat.

"Unlock this door now." The woman says through gritted teeth and glaring at him through the door.

Ta unlocks the door and is flung almost to the top of the stairs.

The women walk in and one kneels before Ta as he slides down the stairs.

"(Who is that?)" Ashen asks.

"(That would be Lust. Ta's vassal.)" Sessaru says.

"My lord it has been 750 years since we last saw each other. Why did you try and flee from me?" Kareen asks still kneeling.

"I wasn't fleeing. I just had the sudden urge to go for a run that's all." Nara says lying.

"Is that so." Kareen says and rips the arrow out.

Nara grits his teeth in pain and the two women kneel before him.

"Pardon me but where is Lord Sessaru?" One asks.

Sessaru glares at Nara who simply smiles.

"(Not good.)" Sessaru says.

Nara opens the window and grabs the caterpillar that was eating in the bush.

"Right here. His soul was transferred into this body." Nara says holding back the laughter and hands the confused caterpillar to the woman.

"And what of Lord Shin? Where is he at?" The fourth woman asks.

"That I do not know. Since I have been here I have not seen or felt his presence but that's normal for Shin. His presence is never felt till someone dies." Nara says and glances at the girl who put her hand through Sessaru's chest.

"(Why did Nara tell that woman you are in that caterpillar?)" Ashen asks.

"(Don't know. Nara does a lot of odd things though. He is a walking enigma.)" Sessaru replies walking back up to his room.

He grabs his sword and quickly makes it vanish.

*****************************

At an undisclosed military base, soldiers and scientists stare at Sessaru's sword while alarms are going off.

"I thought you said it was gone?" One scientist says.

"It was." A soldier says.

"Alright its back now so no one breathes a word about this. It never happened." Another scientist says.

*****************************

Once he returns back downstairs everyone is sitting down and talking.

"So little girl why are you here? Isn't it scary to be surrounded by these demons?" Kareen asks.

"Not really. They couldn't touch me if they tried." The girl replies.

Everyone but Nara looks at her shocked.

"How so?" Lust asks.

"They are in human bodies and don't have a tenth of their powers. Not to mention one is in a caterpillar's body." She says playing along with Nara's lie.

"She does have a point. They are really pathetic right now." Kareen says.

Ta lunges at her and she monkey flips him into the wall, cracking it. Ta lands on his head and stays like that for a second. He gets up and looks at the girl who motions for him to bring it. Ta gets pissed and rushes at her. She side steps him and trips him. He smashes his face right into the marble column.

"Had enough?" She says.

Ta gets up and stares at her. She vanishes and appears right in front of him with a broom. She drives the end of the broomstick right under his jaw and knocks him out.

"Any other takers?" She asks.

Lust stands and draws her sword.

"Your life is mine." She says and leaps over the chair.

The girl smiles and dodges the attack. Lust grows more enraged as the girl laughs while dodging the attacks. After several minutes of attacking Lust finally leaves an opening and the girl attacks. She drives her knee right under Lust's chin, knocking her out as well.

"Who's next?" The girl asks again.

"That's enough." Nara says shaking his head.

"(Ta is going to be even more pissed now that he lost to that little girl.)" Sessaru says.

"(Didn't you lose to her as well? I clearly remember her putting her hand through our chest.)" Ashen says.

"(Shutup!)" Sessaru snaps.

"Why don't we get some sleep. We can all catch up tomorrow." Nara says and hobbles up to his room.

Kareen looks at the other two women.

"Aurora. Silmeria. Keep an eye out. We may have company tonight." Kareen says and runs after Nara.

Silmeria pets the caterpillar and says, "Don't worry my Lord. I won't let anything happen to you."

Aurora rolls her eyes and sits down. She starts playing with her necklace and stares at the small crystal on it.

The young girl looks at and smiles.

"Its from the man that I love. Even though he doesn't love me I will still protect him with my life." Aurora says.

"He must be pretty special if you would die for him." The girl asks.

"That he is. I know nothing about him other then he is kind." Aurora replies.

*****************************

Roswell stares at the books before him.

"I know the answers are here somewhere. They have to be. These books are the entire history starting from the Great War till today. Why is there nothing on the four of them. Nara's father was the greatest demon of all time and that's barely mentioned in these books. There is absolutely nothing about any of them. Why!?" Roswell says to himself.

"Just give it up. You have been staring at these books for a week now and have found nothing." Kogamaru says leaning in the doorway.

"I know there has to be something in there about them. How could the historians overlook something like that?" Roswell asks.

"Did it ever dawn on you that maybe Nara had something to do with it? Such as having the historians at the time not write down certain events." Kogamaru says.

"That could be. But why?" Roswell says.

"Its Nara. Who knows?" Kogamaru says with a laugh and leaves.

"What is it your hiding?" Roswell asks looking up at the ceiling.

*****************************

The next morning Kareen, Aurora, Silmeria, and Lust stand in the kitchen and look around confused.

Ashen walks in yawning and stops in his tracks. He starts to leave when Kareen's hand lands on his shoulder.

"Human, where is the food?" Kareen asks.

"Ummm..... In the fridge." Ashen replies.

"What's a fridge?" Lust asks.

"Have you ever been in a kitchen before?" Ashen asks.

They shake their heads no.

"One second." Ashen says and makes a phone call.

Fifteen minutes later, Amelia arrives with Steven.

"Glad to see you are doing much better." Steven says.

"Yeah, how's the hole in your chest?" Amelia asks lifting his shirt up.

"Not now." Ashen whispers as Kareen and the other vassals walk over.

"Whoa." Steven says.

"When did they get here?" Amelia asks.

"Human. Who are these humans?" Kareen asks.

"These are my friends and quit calling me human. I have a name and its Ashen." Ashen says.

"CRUNCH!"

Everyone looks in the kitchen and sees Nara sitting down eating a bowl of Crunchberries.

"What?" He asks with a mouthful.

"Lord Nara when did you get up? Please forgive me for I do not have your morning meal prepared." Kareen says kneeling before him.

"Don't worry about it. And stop kneeling. If another demon saw that it would attract unwanted attention." Nara says and continues eating.

"Amelia could you help them figure out the kitchen?" Ashen asks.

That afternoon as everyone lounges around the house Nara pulls Kareen aside and starts talking with her. Suddenly she slaps him and walks off.

Nara sits down and looks at Ta who is also rubbing his cheek.

"I think the may be a little mad at us still." Ta says.

Silmeria and Aurora both get up and follow the other two, both of them slapping Nara and Ta as they walk by.

The four of them return moments later with evil smiles on their faces.

Ta looks at Nara and they both say, "Not good."

"You want information about what's going on in the demon realm, then you are going to have to earn it. Here is a starter list." Lust says and hands the list to Ta.

"Hop to it." Silmeria says still petting the caterpillar.

"Starter list?" Ta says unrolling a rather long scroll.

Nara just stands up and looks at the scroll. He tares it in half and reads it.

For three days Nara and Ta work day and night. Finally Ta has enough.

"Why is Sessaru not doing anything? He has been laughing at us for three days now." Ta says.

"Trust me. What goes around comes around. Just go along with this for a little longer." Nara says smiling.

Ta nods in agreement and gets back to work.

*****************************

"Sir, none of the scouts have returned." A lieutenant says.

"Thanks. Have your men rest up for a few days. We will try again." Roswell says.

"Something wrong?" Shingi asks.

"No. Its just that I sent fifty scouts up and they all died. I don't know who is killing them so quickly. These weren't rookies either. These were seasoned veterans." Roswell replies.

*****************************

The young girl sheathes her katana and walks out of the forest.

*****************************

The following day Nara and Ta are giving Kareen and Lust a full body massage while Silmeria and Aurora relaxed in a mineral hot springs, which was dug out the day before by Nara and Ta.

Nara glances at Ta and Ta nods.

"Silmeria, your up." Ta says as Lust gets up completely nude and climbs into the springs. Silmeria drops her towel and Ta looks at her body.

Amelia walks in and stops in her tracks.

"Where did the hot springs come from?" She asks.

"Please join us. Nara and Ta dug this for us." Aurora says.

"You want a full body massage?" Lust asks.

"They are wonderful." Kareen says turning beet red.

Amelia strips and bends over to put her clothes in the basket when Ashen walks in.

"Hey...." He says before his mouth goes completely dry. His eyes bulge nearly out of his head and blood gushes from his nose.

Sessaru takes control and quickly gets out of the area before anyone saw him.

"(HEY! HEY! HEY! I will have none of those thoughts in here while I am sharing this body. I don't want to see how you plan on using them.)" Sessaru says and runs inside. He opens the freezer and dumps an entire ice cube tray into Ashen's pants.

"(Did you just....)" Sessaru says.

"(Yeah, three times.....make it four times. Damn, her ass and the way it cupped around................... Five times now. Sorry. I just never knew she looked that damn good completely naked and bent over in fron............. Ughhhh...... Six times.)" Ashen says before collapsing to the floor completely exhausted.

Sessaru tried to get up but couldn't.

"(Humans.)" Sessaru says.

For over an hour Ashen laid on the kitchen floor. When he finally did get up Sessaru slaps himself while Ashen was in control so Ashen felt the pain.

"Ohhhhhhhh.......Ta........... Your hands............... are amazing....... Mmmmmmmm........ughhhhh.......(whimper)...... Right there.... That's the spot..... Oh my god.... I think I could just....... I think I may of..." Amelia says panting.

Nara walks in the kitchen and sees Ashen.

"Ta is really giving it to Amelia out there. I think she may just leave Steven for him." Nara says and grabs a pop from the fridge.

"I'll kill him." Ashen says and runs out.

Nara smiles to himself and follows.

"Too easy." Nara says.

"Come on Sessaru, help me beat Ta's ass for touching Amelia like that." Ashen says out loud.

Everyone looks at him confused.

"What do you mean, "Come on Sessaru?"" Silmeria asks slowly holding the caterpillar.

"Ummmm." Ashen says.

"Nara you are a dead man." Sessaru says out loud.

Nara and Ta both laugh hysterically.

Sessaru lunges at Nara but is stopped by a devastating roundhouse. It was so powerful that all the water in the hot springs shot out.

Silmeria squishes the caterpillar and tosses it away like nothing while glaring at Sessaru. He tries to run but a sword goes through his calf and into a boulder.

"You two are free from work. Sessaru here shall finish the rest of the list." Silmeria says and Nara and Ta take off like shots before she can change her mind.

Everyone vacates the hot springs area and seeks shelter inside the house.

Inside, Amelia has gotten dressed and thinks about what Ashen had said. She turns red realizing what she had said during the massage.

"Could it be Ashen was jealous of Ta during the massage? Does he really like me that much?" Amelia says to herself.

All afternoon and into the early evening Sessaru could be heard yelling in pain. They finally come inside around ten p.m. and a battered and bruised Sessaru is about to head upstairs when Silmeria stops him.

"Where do you think you are going?" Silmeria asks.

"Too bed. I am exhausted." Sessaru replies.

"I think not. You have to fix all the marble in this room before you can go to bed. Once it is completed perfectly then you may go to bed. However you must be up to make myself, Kareen's, Aurora's, and Lust's morning meal. We expect a very large and extremely delicious meal." Silmeria says and heads upstairs.

"..................." Sessaru says and heads to the front room.

"Have fun." Ta says as he walks by.

"I'm really beat. Rubbing on them all day really wore me out. Night." Nara says and heads upstairs laughing.

"Assholes." Sessaru says.

"(Perhaps you should of just been honest with them in the first place and none of this would of happened.)" Ashen says.

"(Shut the hell up. I don't need any lip from you.)" Sessaru replies.

Sessaru finishes the front room and as he heads upstairs, he sees Silmeria coming down the stairs.

"Good your already awake. Shouldn't you be getting our meal prepared?" She says coldly.

Sessaru sighs and heads to the kitchen.

He makes a large meal and serves the women.

They look at the food and then at each other. Silmeria is the first to take a bite and nods in approval.

"You lucked out and won't have to make this over." Silmeria says.

Sessaru goes back to the kitchen and looks at Nara.

"You're welcome. Now go get some sleep." Nara says cleaning up the kitchen.

That afternoon as Nara, Kareen, Ta, Lust, Sessaru, Silmeria, Aurora, Amelia, and Steven sit around the newly redone marble front room, Amelia says, "So what's going to happen now?"

"We are going to get our bodies back and then take back our rightful places in the Demon Realm." Ta says.

Sessaru looks down at his feet and doesn't say a word.

"Not yet. First we wait for Shin to show himself then we get our bodies back." Nara says.

"I understand that but what are you going to do till then? I mean Ashen, Steven, and I have school. We lucked out because of the renovations being done, but that will be done two days from now. What then?" Amelia says.

"Well Ta and Sessaru can continue going to school. That just leaves Nara. What can he do?" Steven says.

Everyone sits there and ponders it for awhile.

Amelia snaps her fingers and grabs Nara's arm.

"Come with me." She says and they leave together.



Chapter 20b:
"Roswell, why are you sending so many scouts up at once?" Kogamaru asks.

"I want to know what's going on up there. I do not like not knowing what Nara is up to. He is too damn smart for his own good." Roswell replies.

"I understand that but, two hundred scouts is too many. Remember we only have one portal to the Human Realm." Kogamaru says.

"He's right. If we lose that then we are screwed." Shear says.

"Would you three relax. There is nothing to worry about. I have taken the necessary precautions. In two days you will see what I mean. Until then quit sending the scouts out. They look like they may try and revolt if they get sent out again." Shingi says and leaves.

The three of them look at him confused.

*****************************

Just after sunset, Nara and Amelia return. Nara is carrying dozens of bags and boxes.

"What the hell?" Ashen says.

Nara sets the bags down and plops onto a chair.

"We did a little shopping in Palmero." Amelia says smiling.

"A little? We went to every store in town. Even a lingery store. Where they had these little string clothes." Nara says and rummages through the bags.

He pulls out a tiny G-string and Amelia tackles him. Her face is red as a tomato.

Ashen's nose sprays blood and he falls backwards.

"They don't need to see that. And its not pronounced lingery. Its pronounced lingerie. That's not important. Go show them what you got." Amelia says still blushing.

Nara grabs several of the bags and heads upstairs. Amelia follows closely behind him.

He walks back down a few minutes later in an expensive looking suit. His white hair slicked back and his horns covered by a fedora hat. Amelia puts a long white scarf around his neck so it hangs down. Nara looks as if he stepped out of the 1920's Chicago Mob. He has everything from the hat to the shoes.

Kareen's jaw drops and her eyes nearly pop out of her head.

Nara gives her a sly grin and she starts drooling.

"For some reason he pulls this look off better then anyone I have ever seen. And the woman who helped him get dressed was rather speechless. All of the other women in the store flocked around his dressing room for some reason." Amelia says.

Nara raises his eyebrow and gives another sly grin and Kareen loses it. She leaps into Nara's arms and plants a big kiss on his lips. After about ten minutes she breaks the kiss and Nara sets her down. Her knees buckle and she falls to the floor. Lust helps her to the couch. Kareen is left panting and bright red.

"This works." Nara says and wipes the brim of the hat.

"Holy shit." Ta says.

Sessaru just nods.

"Well we have clothes for him but what about a job?" Steven says.

"All taken care of." Amelia says and gives a big grin.

The front door opens and the young girl walks in with a long narrow box.

"What's up?" Ashen says as Sessaru growls.

Ta and Lust glare at her.

"You have a lot of nerve showing up here again." Ta says.

"Well, you don't have what it takes to make me leave. And neither does your vassal. None of you have what it takes. Not even the unpredictable Nara. Even though he would be your best bet but he would fail as well." The girl says.

"Why you mouthy little bitch." Lust says and draws her sword.

The girl smashes her hand into the side of the box and motions for Lust to attack. Lust does so and Ta as well.

The girl breaks open the box and cuts through Lust's sword with ease.

Everyone but Nara stands there in shock.

The girl is standing there with an 8 ft katana.

"No way." Ta says holding his bleeding arm.

"Impossible." Lust says holding her dress together.

"LORD SHIN!!" Aurora says and runs over to him. She bows before the girl and stays like that to hide the tears of joy.

Sessaru bursts into laughter and stops suddenly feeling a sword tip under his chin.

"You want to keep your head attached?" Shin says.

They all sit down again and Nara says, "Now that we are all together again, Kareen you may now tell us what has been going on in our absence."

Kareen clears her throat and explains the basics to everyone. Roswell has claimed the East as his domain. Shingi has taken over the Western lands while Shear has taken the North for his. And Kogamaru seized the South.

Each of them listened intently as Kareen described what was going on. When she was done they sat there quietly and took everything in.

Ta was the first to say something.

"That settles it. We are getting our bodies back tonight!" He says clenching his fists.

"And how do you purpose we do that? We aren't equipped enough to take on the vast armies Roswell and those bastards have waiting for us." Nara says.

"Besides we don't even know where our bodies are. So let's just stay under their radar till we know something." Shin says.

Sessaru starts to say something but stops when Shin puts his hand on his katana.

"I realize the two of you are very anxious to get your bodies back, so am I, but we need to use our heads on this. We know those four are going to make a mistake and when they do.... Heh heh." Nara says laughing.

"Besides we have the element of surprise. (Everyone looks at him confused.) Long ago, Nara had us give our vassals half of our powers and now that they are here we can use very small amounts of it. These pathetic human bodies can't contain that much before completely bursting." Shin explains.

Everyone nods in agreement and Amelia stands up.

"If you'll excuse me, I am going home and going to bed." She says looking at Steven.

Steven jumps up and says, "I'll walk you home."

The two of them leave and everyone heads off to bed.

Ashen stares out the window and sees Amelia and Steven holding hands as they walk down the driveway.

Sessaru doesn't say a word and goes to sleep.

*****************************

Shear is standing in the undisclosed military base with a scientist in his large hand.

"Tell me again, why you thought I should not of been informed about this sword's sudden disappearance?" Shear says in a deep growl.

The scientist struggles to breathe and says, "I didn't think it was that important. It came back so I gave the order to ignore it."

"You moron. You obviously don't know who this sword belongs to. This sword belongs to Sessaru and if it disappears then that means HE CAN SUMMON THE SWORD AT WILL!!!" Shear says and squeezes his hand tighter around the scientist's throat. The scientist struggles for a couple minutes before going limp.

"Alright you moronic humans. If ANYTHING happens here you are to inform us immediately. If you do not then you shall pay with your life." Shear says into the intercom.

*****************************

"Hey, Ashen! I think these eggs are bad." Nara shouts from a closet.

"What eggs?" Ashen asks walking over.

"These." Nara says pulling out a golf ball.

"Those are golf balls for playing golf." Ashen says looking at the one Nara bit in half.

"Golf?" Nara replies.

Ashen leads him outside and puts a ball on the tee then hits one.

"Like that. My dad used to play." Ashen says.

Nara tries and crushes the ball. It screams through the air and hits a tree. The ball burrows through and the tree collapses. Nara smiles wickedly.

"Kareen!" Nara shouts.

Kareen appears in front of him.

"Yes my lord?" She says.

"Go grab more of these and meet me on the roof." Nara says and leaps onto the roof.

Kareen joins him moments later.

Nara puts his hand on the small of her back and pulls her close while staring into her eyes. She blushes as he pulls her closer. He kisses her deeply for a couple moments and when he breaks the kiss, Kareen is standing there panting and light headed.

"Thank you." Nara says and blinks several times.

"Did you just...?" Kareen asks.

"Just a little bit. Needed to be able to locate someone in town." Nara replies and sets up another ball.

"............." Kareen says.

"Who went shopping this morning?" Nara asks.

"Ta and Lust." Kareen answers.

"Perfect. Locate them but do not let them see you." Nara orders.

Kareen vanishes and Nara stares at the city. He spots Kareen and she points to Ta.

Nara lines up his shot and crushes the ball into town. It ricochets off a building and narrowly misses Ta. Ta looks around and doesn't see anyone. He scratches his head and shrugs.

Nara lines up again and fires. The ball ricochets off a building and nails Ta right in the thigh making him do a flip an land on his back. The ball rolls off the sidewalk into the sewers.

Ta gets up and is hit by another one. This time in the head.

Sessaru climbs up on the roof and sees Nara hitting the golf balls towards the town. He shrugs it off and heads back inside.

Later that afternoon, Ta and Lust return. Ta is covered in large ball shaped bruises. Nara and Kareen hold in their laughter and Sessaru shakes his head.

That night as Nara looks out the window Kareen walks up behind him and wraps her arms around him.

"If it is alright, my lord, may I stay like this for awhile?" She whispers.

Nara puts his hands on hers and continues peering out the window.

After awhile he turns around and lifts her chin to look at her. Something catches his eye on her cheek and he rubs it with his thumb. The makeup comes off revealing a perfect hand print.

"Who?" He says.

"Roswell." She whispers.

Suddenly all the glass for several miles shatters and the ground rumbles as if a major earthquake hit.

*****************************

Roswell stands on the balcony looking out at the demons who are still partying.

An ill wind blows across the entire lands, blowing out every single fire in the Demon Realm.

Roswell looks around at the darkness and shivers.

He turns to go back inside and is blindsided by something. The blood drips from his mouth and nose. Roswell looks around and sees no one. A searing pain from his side drops him to his knees and the blood just flows from a large deep gash along his side. He tries to get it stop but something grabs his hand and rips three fingers off.

Roswell screams in pain and tries to get up but his knee buckles and then twists, before breaking. He collapses to the ground and his lower left leg slides across the floor.

"Who is here? Show yourself, you coward!" Roswell says sitting up.

Nara's severed arm crawls out from under a bench and Nara's voice fills the room.

"A coward? A worthless troll like you calls someone like me a coward? You are mistaken. It is you who is the coward." Nara's voice says.

Roswell sits there staring at the arm in amazement when suddenly it flies at him. The hand tears at the fat and flesh making Roswell scream in agonizing pain.

Outside his doors his two bodyguards lay on the floor with their heads ripped off.

The following morning Kogamaru, Shear, and Shinji walk into Roswell's room. Chunks of flesh are strewn about and blood is everywhere. In the middle of the room Roswell lays there clinging to life.

Two doctors rush in and start treating the wounds.

Several hours later one doctor meets with the other three leaders.

"Somehow he survived this. I am not sure how but it appears that whatever did this was highly skilled and didn't go for a killing blow. It must of been severe torture for him. If I may speak freely, whoever did this must of enjoyed watching him squirm." The doctor says and then leaves.

One of Roswell's sergeants approaches them and hands them a small wooden box.

"I found this grabbing his throat this morning." He says and walks off.

They open the box and see Nara's arm twitching there.

"Your judgment day is fast approaching. MUWHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Nara's voice says before the arm turns to dust.

*****************************

Ta and Sessaru are dressed and ready for school when Amelia and Steven arrive at the house.

"Good to see you two are all ready for school today." Amelia says with a smile.

"Where's Nara?" Sessaru asks.

"He wasn't here when we got up." Ta asks.

"Sorry, guys. I used all my tricks to get information from her and got nothing." Steven says.

As they get to the school grounds, Ta over hears a couple school girls talking.

"Did you hear? That old teacher died a few days ago and they already found a replacement for him." One says.

"I know and I guess he's really hot." The second one says with a giggle.

"Humans." Ta mumbles and shakes his head.

The time comes for Mythology class and Ashen, Steven, Amelia, and Ta all walk into class.

The bell rings and the principal walks in.

"Students, I know you heard by now that the old Mythology teacher passed away last week. Allow me to introduce you to your new one. Please welcome, Mr. Onigumo." The principal says.

Nara walks in and sets his briefcase down. He is dressed up in his Chicago Mob clothes and all the girls in class just stare at him with heart shaped eyes.

"Afternoon class. I am Mr. Onigumo and will be taking over for your previous teacher." Nara says with a smile.

Ta looks at Ashen and they both just shake their heads. Amelia sits in her desk laughing silently to herself.

"I have read through these textbooks and they are filled with so many errors its ridiculous. With that in mind I would like you (points to Ta.) to collect all of them." Nara says.

*****************************

That afternoon Shear summons Kogamaru and Shingi to his office.

"Since that idiot Roswell can't handle simple tasks I have taken over command of everything. As my first task I knew we needed to keep an eye on them so with that in mind I give you........... High school." Shear says and pulls a sheet off several monitors.

Each monitor shows a different part of the school. Every inch of the school is covered.

"Why?" Kogamaru asks.

"According to recent information we gathered they have been in human teenage bodies. After further research Ta and Sessaru have been seen in this particular high school." Shear says and taps one monitor.

"I don't believe it. That's Ta." Kogamaru says.

"Those two are of no concern. Its the other two that worry me. Where is Nara and Shin? I know Shin didn't die that day. It was too easy." Shingi says.

"Those two will show up soon enough I'm sure. For now just get the sergeants on the monitors and have them watch for Nara and Shin. Then have the lieutenants write down what Sessaru and Ta do." Kogamaru says.

*****************************

"Thank God its Friday." Steven says walking to school with Nara, Amelia, Ashen, and Ta.

"Yeah. When did school get so boring?" Ta says.

"I could careless." Ashen says.

Amelia smacks him in the head and says," That's not the attitude to have. School is very important. If you want to get a good job then you need a good education."

"Whatever." Ashen says and is promptly hit again.

They arrive at school and Nara is immediately surrounded by schoolgirls. On a rooftop across the street Kareen watches silently.

Nara swings his briefcase up and then back down. He glances over his shoulder and looks straight at Kareen. She swallows hard and heads back to the house. Nara quickly removes the arrow from his briefcase. He throws it to the side and hits some kid in the throat.

"I thought he had trouble sensing others around him?" Ta says.

"So did I but, the kid he hit was a demon." Sessaru says.

"And he spotted Kareen on the roof across the street." Ta adds.

They shrug it off and head to class.

Mythology class comes and Ta, Ashen, Amelia and Steven file in.

Nara looks out over the class and grabs some papers off his desk.

"These are the quizzes from yesterday and almost all of you failed. How? Is beyond me. So today we will be retaking the quiz." Nara says and hands out the quizzes.

One student shoves the paper off his desk and mumbles something.

"That wasn't called for, Travis." Nara says as he writes something on the board.

"Fuck you!" Travis says.

Nara continues writing on the board.

"Didn't you hear me? I said Fuck you!" Travis says.

Nara turns around and looks at the class.

"Are those two words supposed to mean something to me?" Nara replies.

"Yeah it means go fuck yourself. I ain't taking your little bitch ass quiz." Travis says standing up.

"Really? Because according to your other teachers you are supposed to be some sort of trouble maker. Also you are dumber then a box of rocks." Nara says.

"I isn't dumb." Travis says and the class laughs.

"Point proven. Now sit your ass down." Nara says.

"No. Why don't I come up there and beat your ass." Travis says.

Ta and Sessaru both shake their heads.

"Moron." Sessaru says.

"He truly is stupid." Ta says.

"If you think you can beat my ass why don't you try." Nara says.

"Sir, I don't think that's a good idea. As class rep I believe he should be taken down to the principal and dealt with that way." The class rep says.

"Don't you have faith in me?" Nara asks.

Travis walks up to Nara and Nara sticks his chin out.

Travis punches as hard as he can and Nara doesn't move.

"That's it? That's sad. Go sit your ass down before you get hurt." Nara says.

Travis becomes even more irate and starts swinging at Nara. Nara easily dodges each punch and catches him in a full nelson. A second later Nara slams him through the spare teacher's desk.

"Anyone else want to start something they won't finish." Nara says then goes back to the board.

Sessaru is about to attack when a piece of chalk hits his desk and sticks into it.

He looks up at Nara and then sits back down.

That night after dinner Lust stands and grabs Ta's arm.

"Please follow me, my lord." Lust says.

Silmeria does the same thing with Sessaru. As well as Aurora with Shin.

Leaving Nara and Kareen alone.

"I must speak with you." Kareen says and leaves the room.

Nara follows her to their room and Kareen closes the door behind him.

"I already know what this is about. Its about me still having some of the power I took from you and you want it back." Nara says.

"That's part of it. The other part is about those girls that swarm around you everyday. Would you ever..... Ummm.......... You know." She says blushing.

"No. If I did they would be killed. Remember I am a demon and tend to be stronger then humans. Especially with girls that age. So would you like my powers back?" Nara replies.

*****************************

"Sir!" A sergeant says pausing the video from that day.

Shear runs in and says, "What is it? Did you find them?"

"I think so. But he may of found us." The sergeant replies.

On the monitor, Nara is seen clearly smirking right at the camera. The other sergeants bring up other footage from that week and Shear notices that in every single one, Nara is looking right at the camera and smirking.

"Shit." Shear says.
