Neisha was thrown back, but that was all that happended to her. She frowned, moving like light, flickering from point to point as if it were a magical dance she was preforming. Her eyes fell on her target and before she used her blade to attack, she wanted to get some answers..
"Who are you?!" She asked, standing directly behind him, looking at his weapons. Her cat jumping on top of her head as she spoke. It seemed like she had ignored his answers, but she had to make sure... A pure innocent smile graced her lips as she looked him dead in the eye with no sign of fear or weakness.

Ryouken silently watched as Athena taunted Kaiki. He almost smiled when she spit in her face, but he merely laughed inwardly at the sight. Not really interested in the way his sister was torturing the strange demon, he turned his head and looked of into the trees. Then he froze up, his mind already starting to give in to the urges. The sickeningly sweet scent of freshly spilt blood had reached him, flooding his nostrils that where so keyed into the scent. It took every bit of willpower that he had to keep himself from giving in and slaughtering everyone and everything there. He didn't need to hold himself back for very long though. As soon as Athena spoke to him the bloodlust faded completely, and his entire body went cold. Does she know what i'm planning. No, there's no way that she could now, i haven't let a single thing slip. But she does know. She ripped off the girl's leg, but he din't feel anything as the blood poured out. When Athena moved towards him he prepared himself for anything, all the while masking his thoughts. To his utter surprise she stared into his eyes. To anyone else, those pits of darkness that were his sister's eyes would quickly cause them to avert their own. But he merely stared back at her, his own just as dark as her's.
He didn't pay much attention to his siblings as they discussed the demons condition. He was busy scanning the surrounding area. He could sense that there was a powerful presence nearby. He was still searching for the presence, when the pup came out of the bushes. As it began licking on Kaiki, his wolf got up and moved over towards it. It might have looked like he wasd trying to be friendly, but Ryouken knew that he could sense the unknown presence as well and was beginning to get uneasy. He turned as the dagger hit his sister, and he could see the nervous look in her eyes. For the first time he began to get uneasy, if this person frightned Athena then something was very wrong.
He was about to try and convince Neisha not to leave or to at least let him come with her, when somethjing sent her flying back into the clearing. As the man who identified himself as Ian stood forward, he reached inside his coat and removed two handguns. These were his favorite weapons, the man that he had gotten them from had called them "Desert Eagles". He pointed them straight at Ian and squeezed of a shot from each, his anger beggining to bubble forth. Aside from Athena, he was very protective of his sisters. He was especially protective of Neisha, and he wasn't about to lety this man get away with what he had done. "Your either arrogant or just plain stupid. I don't care how strong you think you are, there's no way that you can stand against all of us. And i'm going to personally make sure thst you never leave this clearing alive."

Ian blinked. Was the girl really that slow? or was she just being cautious. "Well, you could ask the sister who keeps information from everyone who I am, or you can listen to what I said and realize that my name is Ian." He shook his head to the girl who was weaving in and out of nothing around him untill a new voice spoke among the group. He turned to the new speaker and tilted his head, smirking. He had blocked the bullets with a little bit of twilight in combination with his swords and they were lying on the floor, he also put his swords away. "Well... I don't think that all of you are actually going to attack me, I mean it seems as though if all of you were to attack me, if I chose to stay and fight you all would definately win, however... if you all attacked me, who says I would stay?" His voice was in a tone that was almost mocking Ryouken, practically laughing at his words.
Henkou laughed at Ian's words. "He's right... we have no idea what kind of powers he has, or what he's capable of, plus, if you want to fight him then my responsibility is all about taking care of her" He motioned to kaiki and let out another laugh. "Unless of course Athena wants me to fight instead of doing my job, otherwise I'm not going to be fighting him"

Neisha blinked, staring at him as he spoke.. He made no sense, but she had got his point slightly. He was Ian and he was the man she was after.. Her cats eyes were almost a bleak as hers as she sudddely came to life, reaching out for him with her free hand like a child would reach for their father's hand. She heard the gun shoots her brother's talking, but she didn't listen to any of them. She was interested in her own affairs.
"You are Ian, huh? I'm Niesha.. This is Mr. Kitty." She pointed out the cat that she could barely hold.. "What is that your carrying? Why did you come here? How did you find us? Did you bring me a gift? I like gifts. Why is your hair a funny color? I like your hair.. It's cool. Can you fly with those wings or do you just run like the me? Are you a boy or girl? You kinda look like a girl.. Can I braid your hair?" She rambled on asking questions left and right... She just wanted to know.

Athena's eye faced towards the trees, it was not Ian she was afriad off. She was beginning to sweat, it was like if she was about to meet her death. A other star dagger shot out from the trees hitting her right in the forehead. Athena didn't even twitch, like she was too scared and horrified to fight.
Then the lady in the mask shot out of the trees quickly stabbing Athena. The lady in the mask look exactly like Athena but older. Her eyes were deep black pits and her hair dark as the shadows that sits in corners. But the only difference was her feel was totally holy and pure. Almost like a angel. As Athena was stabbed deirectly through she leaned forward like if she was dead. But as slowly rose her head up like if she was inhuman and chuckled evily. "You really think this is going to kill me?" Athena said in the most unsual voice. She pulled out the dagger and threw it to the side. But still after all that Athena did not move a inch towards the masked lady. "Anthea, just give up. You'll never take me back." Athena chuckled. Anthea looked at Kaiki for a moment and at Ian, but she quickly put her focus on Athena. Nethier of them moved, but just stared at each other. Then energy gathered around Athena, knocking her out and clopasing on the ground. Anthea had even a more worried look on her face she moved into a fighting stance. Athena agian turned into this monster but she didn't wake up, almost like she was dead but still a plastered grin sat on her face. Then an explosion on energy burst out from her body creating a demonic figure. "I'M FREE! I'M FREE!" it shouted in the most demoinc voice anyone ever has heard. While Athena's mutated body laid there an orb lifted it up into the air protecting it from harm. The demonic figure looked like Athena but with purple cat like eyes, horns coming from her head, fangs 5 inches, long sharp nails, snake like tounge, huge black webbed demonic wings, and a tail of a tiger's. She was monsterous, deeply mutated, and looked like if she came from the pits of hell. She carried the same sword but it transformed into a bigger sword, bigger then her. Black energy spiraled around it and quickly Athena's demonic form slashed the ground creating a huge explosion splitting half of the earth. The energy fource from the explosion was so great Koi flew backwards hitting Henkou. Her demonic formed evily laugh and hissed. Athena was found laying on the ground badly injured on her right arm. She wasn't compeltely dead but in the conistion she was in she was on the brink. That one stirke was stupposed to kill her but why? Why wasn't she dead?
Kaiki was hurt form the debre that hit her but she hasn't scene this side of Athena before, and she was quite confused about the whole situation. "I'm Athena's demon." the demonic form explained, "For she was born as a human, but her evil was so dark I was created. Inside I grew and grew. I'm the truest form of Athena, I am what she really looks like, I am her evil!" The demon laughed. "She finally lets me free giving up her body in return. But even once I return back I will never be gone. I'm still trapped by that shell but once I collect every bit of the shards I will be able to be able to stay free!" Athena's demon form looked at all of the siblings and gave them all at look like if the were just mere tools.

Ryouken's eyebrow arched as the an blocked his shots, the motion hidden behind his hair and eyepatch. There's no way that he could have blocked those shots with swords alone. He must have used some sort of power, but what the hell could it have been? I didn't see a thing, i'll just have to watch more carefully next time. He didn't pay much attention to Ian as he spoke, afterall he would soon be dead and it wouldn't matter what he had said. Turning his head a little, he listened to what his brother was saying. Truthfully he had expected Henkou to say something like that, and he highly doubted that he would have fought even if he hadn't been ordered to protect the demon girl. In fact, it was very likely that he would be the only one fighting.
He smiled as he watched Neisha, a rare thing for Ryouken. In fact, Neisha's antics were about the only things that made him smile. She just seemed so childish, especially when compared with the rest of them. But then, he supposed that was why he liked her more than his other siblings. He continued watching her until he heard something behind him. Keeping one gun on Ian he quickly turned towards the source of the noise. He pointed his remaining gun at Anthea, silently watching as she attacked his sister. Then something began to happen, and Athena was knocked out all of a sudden. An explosion of energy roketed outwards and that... thing suddenly appeared. His guns dropped to his sides, just as it brought it's sword down. He quickly moved in front of Neisha, shielding her from the debris and ending up right beside Ian. He wasn't even aware of that fact though, he was staring in awe at the demon. I've never felt so much power! If this thing really was born from a human, then how the hell can it be so powerful?! Perhaps i've underestimated my sister, by a massive amount. He only heard parts of what it said, mainly the part about it being the physical form of Athena's evil. That gave him a idea. It was a rather simplistic one, but it could very well change things for all of them. But there was something he had to know first. Raising his arm he pointed a finger at Athena, not the demon part but the part that had been cast off. "If you are my sisters evil, then what is she?"

The demon answered, "She is realitiy. The bases of my spirit. I'm like water and she is my cup." She narrowed her eyes at him as shook her head. The demon walked over to him stareing deeply into him like if it was reading a book. A sudden star dagger was thrown at the demon; but like it had eyes on the back of it's head the demon caught the sharp dagger without a scratch being made and crushed it with it's bare hands like loose dirt. "I'm watching you." the demon warned before turning it's head towards Anthea. As it walked the earth trembled and every that was near it's feet died. It grabbed Anthea by the neck and held her up into the air like a ragdoll. Koi was very fighten and hid behind Ryouken, but she sensed tention between Athena's demon and him.

Ian blinked, the whole situation was very confusing. He seemed to have fallen into the background to everyone. As Athena came and directed her attention to the figure next to him, ryouken, he could feel her evil, but he had noticed that Kaiki was there and needed rescuing, however, the seemingly powerless person was standing there protecting here, whatever good that would do. As Athena turned to grab another familiar... face, he made his move, going toward Kaiki in an attempt to rescue her. He would grab her, get her to safety, and then finally come back to fight the rest, although he would feel sorry for the man protecting her.
Henkou could hardly believe everything that seemed to be going wrong at once, though he could tell the demon named Ian had jewel shards, which would not be good for anyone, he was also going to try and save Kaiki. He quickly transformed himself into a wolf demon who's demon form had been very messed up and mutated from birth, looking almost like a werewolf. As he did so he ran toward Ian, pulling his arms around his back and transforming into Ian, holding him there so that practically all of Ian's abilities were useless. Henkou was worried about everything else, but he was more worried about his head, and he could tell Ian had been hoping to do something during all of the confusion.

Neisha eyes teared up as she felt the explosions snatch Mr. Kitty from her arms. Ryouken, the brother she was most in contact with and thus shared a special bond with, saved her, but what about her cat? She screamed looking looking from the clearing at Athena.. She'd seen the creature that had sprung from her, but she was fixated on Athenna's body. Her mouth formed that famous upsidedown 'U' as she broke free. Collasping onto Athena she poked her once before hugging her..
"Are you ok? Sister are you ok? Wake up sister." She stopped what she was doing to see to look back at Ryouken for an answer.

Athena's human body did not wake up and laid limp. The demon however started squeezing the life out of Anthea, the masked lady. But under the suffercation, Anthea was praying with her hands and making some slight motions. Anthea finally closed her eyes and "died" but it was not over. For a blinding pure light came from her eyes and knocked the demon back 5 feet. Out came a new formation of Anthea, for see had spread angel wings and a halo hanging from her neck. She was equiped with no weapons but still she had something up her sleeves. The anglic form was much smaller then the demon but yet seemed much powerful. "It's time for me to return." The angel said, "I ask you for the last time, give me my body back." The demon laughed even more, "NEVER!" It lounged at the anglic figure with it's sharp claws, but it was quickly blocked by one of the angel's wings. "It's time for you to go back to hell!" the angel shouted and started chanting and a hole grew spitting out fire and was sucking the demon in. But the demon was too powerful and kicked the angel in the stoumch and as it fell it was soon put back into Anthea's original figure. The hole shut and left an symbol meaning the satanic return. Anthea was bady hurt and loss too much energy. But casting one last prayer she vanished out of sight.
Kaiki was amazed at the whole fight. But turned her attention to Ian and weakly smiled. He always been there for her, and he was about to save her agian. In her mind she felt troubled getting him into these siutaions and risking his life just to save her's. But even tho so much love and compassion she put towards Ian she could help but think about Necrode. She was stuck in a love triangle and felt horrible about it.

Ryouken silently listened to the demon as it answered him. It wasn't quite the answer that he had been looking for, but it was enough for what he had in mind. He remained motionless as it approached him, and began to stare intently at him. It seemed that it was trying to see something in him, but the only thing it would be able to see is pure darkness. Then the girl that had appeared threw a dagger at it, and it turned to go after her. The thing had said something but he hadn't heard it, because at that moment Neisha had screamed. He knew instantly knew what she was screaming about, and looked off to the left. Mr. Kitty was over behind the tree with Zorrba, that was a smart cat. He knelt down next to Koi, keeping one eye on Neisha and the other on Athena's demon form. "Koi i want you to keep Neisha out of danger, you should probably take Athena with you. I'm leaving you in charge so don't let me down, ok?"
He stood up and moved over to where his sisters lay. "I'm pretty sure that this is our sister's true body. That thing is just a part of her. I've got an idea, but it's probably going to get a lot more dangerous around here. I don't want you to get hurt, so go with Koi." He stood up and moved towards the demon, just as the figure it had been fighting disappeared. Bringing his guns back up and pointing them straight at them demon that had sprung from his sister. He knew that he couldn't kill Athena yet, not without killing himself and his siblings in the process. But if what he thought was correct, then he could kill this thing without consequence. Because Athena herself wouldn't be harmed, just the evil that resided within her. And he figured that if he destroyed that evil, then it would disappear from her all together. If that was indeed the outcome, then there would be no need to kill Athena. Meaning that they could live on.
He squeezed the triggers, firing off a total of twelve destructive shots. Instead of simply firing on one spot, he moved the guns as he shot, fireing at the demons arms, legs, head, and chest. After a moment the guns clicked, and he looked through the small cloud of smoke towqards Henkou. "Brother, what will you do? Will you do nothing? Or will you join me in trying to free ourselves?" Turning his gaze, he watched to see if the demon emerged. Hopefully this would all go according to his plan. If it didn't..., then things were about to get a lot more difficult.

Ian sighed, it didn't look like he was going to get anywhere doing this, so he got out of there, teleporting himself just out of the clearing and watching, that guy, the one who had gone after him, was going to be tough to get around, but he could tell he was getting distracted by everything that was going on and grinned, making his move he teleported to Kaiki and started to try and free her, it didn't seem like she was restrained by much, so he got her out and told her to run as he turned back to see what he had missed.
Henkou saw the demon named Ian disappear and looked over to Ryouken, deciding that Ian would no longer be a problem he nodded and raised his arm to shoot fire over at Athena's demon form but turned, seeing Ian free Kaiki his eyes widened. "NO! DON'T!" He yelled as he ran and tackled Ian, rolling on the ground till he was on top and had Ian pinned. "How dare you.." His eyes were read with rage, and it was obvious that he was ready to kill and had forgotten about Athena.

(Hey guys I just got back from North Carolina.) "Ian......" She could not believe what was happening before her. She like Ian alot but she loved her brother Henkou. How could she know that this Ian just happened to be the hated enemy of her sister. *how could I be so careless.* She thought to herself, *What am I gonna do? Perhaps I could put him to sleep then free him later. I don't know, dam what have I gotten myself into?* She could tell which was the real Ian, for her brother had been the one to tackle him, so that would make Ian on the bottom. She had to do something and quick, she would not harm Ian but put him to sleep and free him later most likely although the thought could never be seen in her head or eyes. Her intentions were all invisible except to Ian. She ran up to the two and placed two Sleeping darts in Ians neck.

As the bullets hit the demon all it did was melt on it's flesh. The demon was getting more annoyed and nothing had any effect on it. It moved closer to Ryouken and punching the lights out of him. It moved one of it's streached out the huge demonic wing and took flight as it carried Ryouken in it's arms. It flew higher and higer then broke off bits and peices of Ryouken. Then it threw him to the ground causing an other big explosion. Then it spun a circle in the sky and dove down releasing an other huge punch to Ryouken. "Don't dare go agianst me." the demon said as it hissed it's snake like tounge in his face. The attacks probably broke a few bones but still did not kill him and everything was for a reason. It got up and spit at him in disrespect and humaition. It was much powerful then any great demon and the evil it carried was overflowing and could been more evil the Naraku's. It was unspeakble darkness that filled every mind as it was stared at. But all in time everything that seem confusing at first was all going to play out. It twitched it's tail as it stared at badly beaten up body of Ryouken.
Koi grabbed Neisha and held her back from the whole battle area and did what her big brother told her to do. Koi was deeply frightened as the demon attacked Ryouken but still wonder why it was keeping him alive for? Koi had the change of heart and took out the dagger the held Kaiki with a twtich of her wrist. Koi nodded to Aishi to help her escape, she was going to be big use to defeat Athena. And it was done Aishi dragged her body behind the bushes as quitely as possible.

Ryouken looked away from the demon as his brother yelled, his gaze drifting over to the two stuggling figures. His attention was soley focused on them, which gave the demon the perfect opportunity. The demon began punching him, but it only knocked him back a step or two. Then it grabbed him and flew upwards, attempting to rip him apart. It finished up it's attack by slamming him into the ground. The force of his colision created yet another large explosion, and left him lying at the bottom of a small crater. He lay there for a moment, quickly rolling to the side as the demon spit at him. After standing up he gave himself a once over, then dusted himself off with his hands. Once he was throughly satisfied with his now tattered appearance he looked back up at the demon, his face as casual as if he was simply out for a stroll. "I suppose that was to prove some sort of point? All that you've proved is that you aren't really Athena. Because if you were..." His arm transformed into one of his Desert Eagel's, and he pointed it straight at where his heart should be. The gun fired off several dozen shots, completely obscuring Ryouken's body in smoke. When it cleared he was still standing there, and there wasn't the slightest hint of any wound whatsoever. His arm transformed back to normal, and he smirked at the demon. "Then you would know that an attack like that, would have no effect whatsoever on me." No sooner had he finished this sentence, than he was seen running forward. His arm swung back, and he sent the lethal spike that adorned it straight towards the demons throat.
