Rain opened her eyes. She knew what they didn't. It went back inside her before she could deliver the killing blow. 'You won this time girl..' It spoke withing her mind, loud enough for Estirk and Rhyme to hear.

Estrik walked up to the magic circle, and opened it, and then cut the circle with his staff, severing the circle's magic protection, and then ceased the raining of pickles. He picked up a pickle and went over to Rain, "A pickle for your wounds?" he said, holding the pickle to her. He then walked back to where Rei was, and stuck his staff back into the tree, and sat on it, still continuing to eat his first pickle. "Strange day, strange day indeed."

Rain struggled to sit up. Her hand rose to her neck. There were several cuts, many of which were still bleeding. She looked down at the ground and sang a line of Everybody's fool by Evanesenace, "Look, here she comes now, bow down and stare in wonder.." Then Rain fell backwards, back into the dirt, causing a cloud of dust to rise around her.

Rhyme ran over to Rain and caught her head before it hit the ground hard. He gritted his teeth when he saw the wounds, they were really bad. Tearing off a piece of hit shirt he put it over her neck and applied pressure, but not to much to cut off her air. This is when he really wished he spent more time with his mother, she could do medical magic easily. He could only sing a song that was one of her favorites, and hoped it worked. He looked over to the one blind kid from his booth and called him over. “Hey, you, keep pressure on her wound, I need to try something.” he said, eating a pickle that fell to get some of his strength back. I know there's something in the wake of your smile I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah You've built a love but that love falls apart Your little piece of heaven turns too dark
Listen to your heart When he's calling for you Listen to your heart There's nothing else you can do I don't know where you're going And I don't know why But listen to your heart Before you tell him goodbye Rhyme stepped away from Rain and slowly rose his baton. His eyes, pools of emotion, and if anyone from his family was there, they would have said they looked like his mothers. As the song played ribbons of energy began to emerge from his baton and surround Rain and the other person. Normally these ribbons would have been a pale yellow, but because of his love for Rain, they changed to a pale pinkish color. Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah They're swept away and nothing is what is seems The feeling of belonging to your dreams
Listen to your heart When he's calling for you Listen to your heart There's nothing else you can do I don't know where you're going And I don't know why But listen to your heart Before you tell him goodbye
And there are voices That want to be heard So much to mention But you can't find the words The scent of magic The beauty that's been When love was wilder than the wind With the spell created all around them, a shimmering multifaceted circle of pink energy with multiple writings within, he gave his baton hand a quick shot downward and the spell flared with new energy. This is where it counted. If it worked the wounds would start to heal. Listen to your heart When he's calling for you Listen to your heart There's nothing else you can do I don't know where you're going And I don't know why But listen to your heart Before you tell him goodbye
Listen to your heart....mm..mmm
I don't know where you're going And I don't know why But listen to your heart Before you tell him goodbye

Rain's neck began to heal. Her heart beat became more clear. "I love you.." She managed to say. Rain opened her eyes. She saw nothing at first, but then the dim outlines of Estirk and Rhyme appeared. Rain looked around, everything was dim, but she was sure that it would pass. She looked down at her clothes. They were still drenched with the demon's blood.

Estrik, who was still on his staff, leaning against the tree with his left leg hanging down and his right on the staff, immediately sensed Rain, who was so close to death, burst back to life, and he heard a voice say something to Rhyme, probably Rain, and he hand no business to know what it was. His brother had once again faded into the afterlife, and he was on the verge of sleep, he had done too much today. His eyes almost closed, until he forced them back open, he couldn't fall asleep in a cemetery, that wasn't right. He could feel Rain and Rhyme almost becoming one in the before-dawn. Maybe things would go right for once.

Rhyme smiled and collapsed on the ground a little behind Rain. He was happy that she was okay, but that took a lot of energy. As he lay on the ground he just let his mind drift, in the clouds of thought and relaxed, a stupid happy grin on his face.

Rei immediately put space between herself and the battle. She felt horrible for abandoning Rain when she was in trouble, but what could she do? She had no mental abilities and she would probably just make things worst. Rei put herself behind the tree Estrik had been in just shortly before Rain's breakout. She leaned against the rough bark and closed her eyes, her breath slightly shaky. 'Relax Rei, don't lose it, not here...' She allowed herself to slip down and sit among the roots, ignoring the scratches now on her back. The sounds of the battle reached her ears and she did all she could to block them out. then it got worse; she could smell the blood. Her un-chain-mailed, right hand placed itself hesitantly on her abdomen and she immediately recoiled. It burned her, painfully. Slowly opening her eyes, she looked down at the Mark. It glowed dimly, a dark shade of blood red.
Rei slammed her head back against the trunk and her hands clasped around the roots. 'No, no, no...' A sharp pain traveled up her spine to her skull and she instinctively clutched her head and doubled over. Now trembling, Rei lay in the fetal position a the base of the tree. 'I knew I shouldn't have come to the cemetery... I always make those terrible mistakes... and others have to pay for them...' Rei clenched her teeth together. She could feel the power of Rain's demon travel through the ground. Tears of pain and fear crawled out from under her eyelids. She couldn't let this happen, not after searching for so long, not after finally having friends and feeling safe. Not after finally finding a home. Rei could feel herself changing. She felt claws dig into her skull as her fingernails disappeared. Her legs cracked and reconnected, toes now talons. Fangs cut into her gums, causing blood to drip from her mouth. The tattoo on her back spread along her newly acquired wings just as a tail lashed out. Rei was still in control, she still had a chance. The Mark was still red, there was time.
A whimper escaped her when she could no longer see color, but the body heat of anything that had it. Her glowing red eyes unwillingly locked onto Rhyme, Rain, and Estrik. The battle with Rain was over. 'Rei... fight it... ' But how could she? She was losing control in a cemetery. If she could just barely fight it anywhere else, there was no way she'd be able to fight it here. Her body began to move on its own. She was now on all fours, claws digging into the trunk of the tree to pull herself up. She fought back, this being signified with her jerky, forced movements, but she couldn't stop. Rei climbed up the tree until she was halfway up, perched on a branch. She crawled out along the nearest branch, eyes locking onto her friends. 'No... no!' Her pale skin took on a shade of grey and her red eyes darkened. A low growl escaped her throat. 'Stop it!' Before she could force herself to do otherwise, Rei suddenly found herself lunging from the tree and swooping toward the others, claws extended. 'No!' With a will that Rei didn't even know she still had, she managed to tilt her outstretched wings downward, causing her to crash down and skid to a halt dangerously close to the others. For a moment, her eyes went back to full-on red as they turned onto the others. They were desperate, pleading, and afraid. Afraid for them.
With tremendous effort, Rei got onto all fours once again. Extreme tremors ran through her with the force she had to use to resist her own body. Through clenched, bloody teeth, Rei managed to force out four simple words with powerful meaning. "I'm... sorry... please.... run."
With an animal-like screech, Rei pushed off the ground and took to the sky, her flight patterns erratic and jerky. She could feel herself losing again. 'I have to get away from them...' Flying as quickly as the wind allowed, Rei managed a beeline away from Rhyme, Rain, and Estrik. Then something caught her eye. A mausoleum. Once again, Rei dove downward and crashed to the ground; she wouldn't feel much pain now, but she'd definitely feel it later. Remarkably, Rei got the heavy stone door open and fell inside, pushing it closed behind her with her legs. 'Now... I'll have to break out of here and fly back to them before I can... ki-... hurt them...' Her breathing became quicker and more violent, her skin becoming a deadly black, ink-like color. Elaborate markings spread along her body and her Serpent Scale armor broke apart and left patches of actual scales placed randomly on her flesh. Rei lay on her side, one wing folded beneath her, as she clawed at the stone ground. The Mark burst in a blinding white, the other marks soon following.
And then, she lost.
Rei's eyes turned into a black darker than a moonless, starless night. Her hair became wild as her face lengthened slightly in a muzzle fashion, now looking more demonic-like than ever. It wasn't long before she was smoothly on her feet, glaring at the door. And inhuman grin formed on her 'muzzle'. "A stone door? How sad." With another inhuman screech, 'Rei' lunged forward and put a fist through the six inch thick stone door. Another punch, and she was out, taking to the sky and locking onto three areas of heat in the distance...
((Woah! Long post ^^ Heh, I thought it'd be a good way to explain why Rei hadn't been there xD Long, but fun ^w^))

"Brother, did any of those runic books tell you anything about invoking a demon as opposed to controlling it?" Estrik asked, his voice strangely calm, even though a terrifying demon was now rushing at him, Rain, and Rhyme. "Well, yes. but why would you--," Getak's ghostly face now turned to the sky where "Rei" was flying toward them, "Oh! Yes, it's quite a simple circle actually, and you don't have to stay inside it for it's effects to work, but once set off you will have no control over it.""Oh well, it's worth saving Rei."
Getak began to telepathically send the images to Estrik, who began drawing them in the dirt. The figure was a pentacle, with each of the elements at the points. The only drawback was that being a powerful circle, a blood sacrifice was required, so Estrik cut himself in the arm, and let a drop of blood hit the circle while inside. Red chains whipped out from each of the points each grabbing a limb, and the fifth grabbing Estrik's neck. They seemed to pull an almost transparent Estrik down to the ground, pinning him there, and Estrik's Croatoan stood there, flexing his muscles, and relishing the freedom.
"Well, well. I came out tonight after all, and for what? Oh that. Well, time to break some backs, might even have to put a little effort into this one," Croatoan said, loosening up his leg muscles. He took a deep breath and exhaled onto his hand. It looked like he was breathing out fire and lighting his hand, but it wasn't burned. His hand touched the other, and then both of his legs. Soon, every one of his limbs were torched. Croatoan began to bounce up and down on the balls of his feet, "Go time," he whispered to himself, then charged at Rei.

Rhyme groaned as he forced himself to get up. His muscles tensed up when he fell to the ground and now they were spasmming from the too soon movement. Getting up he let his baton fall back into his robes and rose into a fighting stance, his fingers moving around quickly, small thin ribbons forming around them. He was reading to try and capture and tie her up. The ribbons wouldn’t really hurt her, just hold her long enough for everyone to get away or until she comes out of it.

Rain looked towards the approaching Rei and groaned. She didn't have enough energy left for another battle. 'All right..Lets make a deal. I let you out, and you muderer NO ONE! understand?' Rain questioned the demon. There was silence for a moment. 'Fine..But what do I get in return?' it inquired. Rain gave a mental sigh. 'You'll always have a vessel to return to..Meaning, you are free, I won't fight you. But the conditions still stand.' Rain replied solemly. The demon grinned within her mind. 'Deal' It hissed.
Just like earlier shadows engulfed Rain, and the demon appeared. "He's on our side..This time.." Rain said quickly. The wounds Rain had given it earlier, had already healed, no doubt because of Rhyme's healing song. The demon looked itself over and smiled. "Good. Looks like I'll be in tip top shape for this fight." it croaked.

The being known as Rei hovered in the air just about one hundred feet above the group of battle-ready teens. A grim smile formed on her demonic 'muzzle'. Saliva coated her elongated fangs and a forked tongue drew itself around her lips. When she spoke, it was two voices; one obviously Rei's, and the other... the other can only be that of a demon. "Foolish people, why always try to fight off the inevitable?" Laughing maniacally, 'Rei' sped straight upward, soon disappearing from view. All was quiet. then, from somewhere above them, a light formed in the sky. A noise like the sound of strong winds began to grow and strengthen. The light dropped to the ground at an accelerated rate, gaining speed by the second. It was Rei. If she were doing this at any other time, she would kill herself. The demon known as Rei spiraled downward, surrounded by a blinding white aura. The form resembled a shooting star falling straight toward Earth... directly onto Rei's friends. But no, the Shinigami wouldn't have any fun if it just killed them this way. Laughing demoniacally, 'Rei' positioned herself to land fifteen feet away from the group of teens.In an instant the aura went from the air to the earth, slamming into the ground with tremendous force. The earth tremored and split in all directions, sending dust, dirt, and stone into the air. As it settled, Rei's silhouette could be seen standing up from a small crater. Her wings were outstretched and her tail was lashing. A dark chuckle came from her throat before she locked her glowing black eyes onto the group."Bleed for me."

Rhyme flinched when he saw Rei crash into the ground. They really had to be careful or they will kill Rei as well. Flinging out his hands he sent out ten strong thick ribbons and tried to get them to bind around the demon. Giving his wrists a quick flip he wrapped his end of the ribbons around his wrists, giving him a strong grip while crouching down low to the ground and digging his feet in. He was digging in to hold on for a long while.
“Guys, we don’t want to hurt her, its still Rei.” he called out.

Rain's demon nodded. ''I don't get any fun do I..This stinks..Hitting not to kill.." The demon growled, launching itself into the air, going above the cloud limits. Its prepared its attack, and waited.

"Well, just because we can't kill her, doesn't mean we can't have any fun, now can we?" Croatoan said. He had leaped high up into the air right before Rei had landed, and came down like a flaming meteor, with his leg outstretched like he holding a kick in place, and then crashed down with fire upon Rei. He then began to fire kicks and punches, those he threw with the right hand had a mirror opposite hit of fire, and those on the left, a mirror opposite of ice. Each were extremely fast, but not fast enough to be invisible, that Croatoan saves for his finishing move. After this onslaught he jumped back and shot a stream of water with fire like it's shell at Rei, while he was hidden in the water, hands forward in a superman-like pose, knowing that the heat around him would make himself pretty much invisible.
