Arriving back at the manor Chris paced the attic floor trying to figure out what he had been doing with Becca that morning. He knew that he had walked her to the airport and that they had talked, but what he didn't understand was why he had been flirting with her. True, she was a nice young woman, but he was engaged. Bianca was waiting on him, counting on him back home to complete his mission. He shouldn't be flirting with someone else while he was engaged. True, Bianca would never find out about it, but it wasn't right. He couldn't seem to help doing it though. I just seemed to happen; there was something

Becca sprinted full out following the demonic aura to Ash's warehouse. Her determination to save those innocent children overriding her fear. She knew Isamu's words could possibly come true, but she had to try. Sensing a demon she slowed to a walk. Pulling her mask on. She approached the corner of the building and looked around. A demon was standing guard at the main entrance. Using her knowledge of demons she knew if she took him out someone would know and that would have them coming down on her. Something she didn't need. She scanne

Lady Kyoto surveyed Becca's appearance for a few moments before she finally spoke, this time in perfect English, "I know why you're here," she began, walking across the room to open the window, "And I can teach you what you need to know to defeat the enemy you've come to slay. Though I do not agree with the reasoning behind it, I will help you. This demon you searching for has been a major problem. He has been recruiting people with special abilities to train them and turn them into demons not only here in Japan, but all over the world..." she paused and looked at Becca with a smile, "As I'm sure you alrea

Becca woke with a start as the alarm on the clock radio rang throughout her room. She rose up, leaned over and slammed her hand down on the thing to cease the infernal racket. Shaking her head of the ringing, she climbed out of bed and made for the restroom. Finishing she washed her hands, went and grabbed a change of clothes to take a quick shower.
Stepping out into her room she surveyed the place trying to remember the events of the previous night. She remembered sitting at a table at P3... she could barely see through the haze that clouded her sight...she remembered Luke leaving and coming back with so

"A drink?" Luke repeated.
"Yeah, a strong one...I'll be right back," she said standing to her feet, grabbing her ID she said a spell making it appear she was 21 as she made her way through the crowd to the bar.
"What can I get ya?" the bartender asked.
"Um...something strong, really strong," she told him handing over her ID.
He looked at it and handed it back to her with a nod as he started fixing her a drink, "So what do you need to forget?" he asked.
Becca gave him a funny look, "I don't need to forget anything. It's something else, trust me you don't want to know," she added when knowing that would be his next que

"Dear, I know you're practicing but does the music have to be so loud?" a sweet elderly voice floated from the kitchen to the living room.
"No, mam," the thirteen year old girl called back as she held the button down on the remote with a sigh, "I'm turning it down."
"Thank you," an elderly woman of average height appeared in the doorway, drying her hands on a towel, "Lunch is ready, if the two of you are hungry."
"Thanks, but we need to get this down first," the young girl stated.
Shaking her head with a smile, "Becca, dear while I'm very proud that you're dedicated to learning the dances I teach you. I think it's time

San Francisco, 2025
Finally having fought off Wyatt's elite demons, Christina ran as fast as she could, using a spell Becca had taught her to cloak herself so that they couldn't follow her. Making sure that she was far enough away from the manor house Christina slowed to a walk though never taking her guard down. With the adrenaline rush from having to fight for her life, gone, Christina was finally able to think clearly. And the most pressing thought in her mind at that moment was how her friend was doing in the past. She prayed that Becca's trip had been a safe one. She hoped

"Two months," Becca stated gazing at the calendar hanging on her bedroom wall, "Two months and all..." she paused seeing a note tacked on the wall beside the calendar, narrowing her eyes with curiosity she reached out plucking it from the tack. Her eyes scanned the paper, realizing she was looking at her own handwriting. Leaning against her desk she read,
Hey! Morning! Ok, first off you, we, are

"Two months," Becca stated gazing at the calendar hanging on her bedroom wall, "Two months and all I've be doing is trying to find a job." Angry at her lack of progress she stormed from the room. 'Christina would kill me if she knew I was so far behind. Thank goodness, she's isn't here,' she thought making her way down the stairs, 'I can't believe how hard it is to find a job in this stinking city. You figure that since they have more businesses it'd be an easy task, but nooooo...oh wait. Scratch that I know why, when Wyatt took over not only did we loose the businesses, we
Chapter Two: Power Outrage
High above the city a lone figure stood atop the Golden Gate, gazing over the city below him. He could hear the traffic on the bridge below, the loud horns of angry drivers. An air horn sounded from a barge in the bay. He'd hoped to find the young whitelighter here; he'd followed his orbs to this very spot. But once he'd arrived there was no one. Once again Chris had eluded him. Normally Leo would've been ticked at not finding the boy, but at the site of the city his thoughts drifted to those of his family.
He hadn't seen his wife or his sister-in-laws in a while; thankfully he
