Kibiko looked at Nuriko in confusion. "Was it who?" she asked, she thought about the dream and remembered the man in the dream. She shuddered at the thought of it and laid back down and pulled the covers over her. "Well... Maybe I well be able to sleep now..." she said hugging them both.
However, the same couldn't be said for the downstairs patrons, Toris face grew tense as he dreamnt...
-Inside this Dream-
"We have rumors going around Liwa, we don't believe rumors unless there is evidence." the man said. He shifted around and looked at Tori who was sitting in an odd looking chair. The man pulled out a bat and jabbed Tori with it, making him hit the floor in pain. "Now Mr. Liwa..." the man said kneeling over him, the sentence turned dark and the voice changed into something he had heard before, "Don't be afraid little boy... I just want her blood... Sweet, suculant blood, heheehehehe!" Tori rolled over and looked at the man and saw has face. He had no eyes, his mouth was sown shut. "Don't you like me Mr. Liwa? I just want to be your Best Friend." it said moving forward. Tori took the chair he was in and threw it at the creature. It hit it dead on, "Nagh! Ow, is this how you treat all of your friends? Then I don't want to be your friend..." The creature took the flesh and clothing and made it explode from its shadowy body. It moved its arms around and finally broke the silence.
"We could have been best friend... But, you chose me to be your worst NIGHTMARE!"

She had heard about this type of demon. They called him nightmare, because he would haunt people in their dreams and drain their blood while torturing them in their sleep. While all seemed quiet with Kibiko, she had a feeling.
"Mihari, keep an eye on Kibiko, tell me if anything happens." Mihari nodded quietly as Nuriko walked back down the stairs. She checked each of the boys, Bakura seeming fine, but Tori. She brushed her hand along his cheeks, then, reaching into her purse, she pulled out a bunch of holy candles and started lighting them around the room. This lit up the room in a soft warm light. She muttered in old latin as she did so. Then she stood in front of Tori, smiling.
"Wake up Tori. I need you here."

"The blood, all the blood around you... It smells ever so nice..." the creature walked forward and stopped. It looked around and shook, almost as if it was shivering. "Gah! not now! So close! I was!" it looked at Tori, "Your friends have become a thron in my side for the last time! They will see the error of their ways for crossing me!" the creature leaped forward and grabbed Tori, its vacant eye sockets started pulling the very soul from Tori's body, but Tori was starting to wake up.
"No you fool! I am almost done here!" it said but the area quaked and grew in bright. Causing the monster to let go and squeal in pain. "Damn you mortals! Gah! This isn't over! I will ensure my Masters victory you pathetic worms!" and with that the area grew bright.
"Ngh..." Tori said as he rose up from the floor his vision was blurred and he felt like someone had sucked the life out of him. 'It was him... But... How?' he though, he saw Nuriko looking over him and he shook the dizziness away. He looked at her and shook his head.
"That thing isn't gone..."

Nuriko looked at him and nodded. She was relieved that he was ok. She sat there on the floor in front of him before resting her head on his leg. She sighed, then said softly. "I think we should wake up the others. At least we will have more of a chance if everyone is awake." she looked at him. "What do you think we should do..."

Tori nodded and held her close, "That's true, however we don't know how to beat this thing, I know for one thing he mentioned a Master. Dunno who or what he was talking about but sounds like he isn't the brains of the said operation..." Tori said kissing Nuri on the head. He looked around to notice Placid was awake already. "Up so soon sunshine?" Tori said smiling a little. Placid looked in his direction and then back to the window he slept near. "Hmph, right..." he said getting up and stretching. He noticed it had started to rain, it was a hard shower too. "How ominous..." he said rubbing his eyes.
"Bakura, we all need to stay awake. Its a matter of safety now. Go ahead and wake Rei up." Placid nodded and walked over to Rei and kneeled down to shake him awake when he noticed Rei's face. It wasn't a normal sleep he was having. "Rei, c'mon..." Placid said shaking him a bit. Nothing. "Rei...? C'mon wake up." he said shaking him harder. Placid turned around to Tori and Nuriko and shook his head.
"We have a problem..."

Rei didn't know where he was. It was causing him to be slightly nervous. Everywhere he looked was nothing. Darkness. Emptiness. Oblivion. He heard footsteps behind him but nobody was there. Just more empty space. The darkness and shadow pressed against him, as if trying to smother him. He closed his eyes, shaking his head as if trying to make it go away. He heard cackling, like insane laughter. It moved, as if circling him, but he couldn't see anything. The emptiness pressed around him as if placing pillows over his eyes and ears.
----------------
Nuriko sighed. "He causes nightmares based off of fears. As long as there's someone asleep he will keep jumping from person to person." she said, looking worriedly at Rei. She moved to the foot of the stairs, then shouted up the stairs. "I need you to wake up Kibiko, and make sure she stays awake. But try to keep her upstairs. " she sighed, then added to herself. "I'm going to need everyone awake." Mihari, who had been sitting next to Kibiko, stood up and started shaking Kibiko awake. Nuriko went back to her purse, pulling out a few more candles and lighting them, placing them on a few more places around the room to light it up more. "Tori, Bakura, i need you to stand on either side of him and hold him down. And be ready when I wake him up. If i'm correct, he will get pulled out when i wake him up because there's nowhere else for him to go." she said, standing in front of him again. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a single 6 inch long pitch black feather. "Benedictus quos tueri viventium..." she mumbled against the feather before placing it on Rei's head. "Rei. Wake up."

The being grew from his mouth and over by the front door. it sat there and laughed light some sort of lunatic. It finally tilted its head and leaned forward not saying a word. Tori stood up looking at it and readying himself. "Nightmare, what do you want?!" he said heating up his fists. The being leaned back and shrieked loader than nails on a chalkboard.
"Its not I who wants anything from YOU..." it said twirling its head in circles slowly. It stopped and stared down Nuriko and his tone became almost caring. But, it was a ruse, "We only want to fufill the contract she wouldn't..." he said starting to laugh again like a duranged maniac. tori looked back at Nuriko and then back at Nightmare who now was bobing back and forth as if he was on a boat.
"Who is this 'we'? Who are you working for?!" he said pointing at the fiend. His hands were engulfed in flames and were intent on setting this creature ablaze. Nightmare however wasn't phased by the Angels acts and sat there bobbing back and forth. He cackled and made mindless chatter then paused while scoping the room.
"Why, my Master Azazel..." he started to say before pausing, he tilted his head again while staring at Nuriko. "He only wanted 'her' blood. You know who's don't you Ms Reaper?!" he darted foward and grabbed her tight, not intending to harm her but as a method of intimitdation. "Come now! You know who I am talking about! You were after Kibiko that day! That truck 'missed'! Now you have to paaaa-a-ay!' he said it then darted back to the door and laughed again, then went silent. "Master Azazel wasn't pleased by god's reaction. But, the lord made another Reaper to take his place! Guuuuuuueeeeeeeess whoooooo?!" he said laughing like a maniac.
Tori took a few steps back and his hands were no longer on fire. "W-what? a reaper?!" he looked a bit nervous but who could blame him? A Reaper was no joking matter. Placid stood up and looked Nightmare right in the void that were his eyes and shouted.
"You are no Reaper!" at that moment Nightmare slowly stopped bobbing back and forth and made an audible gulp. Placid stared him down and Tori looked in confusion as the two looked at one another. "How do you know Bakura?" Tori asked looking even more nervous than before.
"Reapers are ruled by God, not beings of the 7 Sins. He mentioned Azazel... Being of Envy! He isn't any reaper! But, he will be banished like a reaper would do it!"

Nuriko remembered the day of the 'accident.' She was told she needed to take someone. The plan was to cause an accident and take her then. But someone saved her. It wasn't even her fault, but she was blamed for it. She looked at Bakura, then back at him, slightly worried and confused.
"Reapers are bound by god. They are made by god, and only GOD can appoint a Reaper. But what would Azazel have to do with Kibiko. Reapers don't follow order's given by demons, we only follow orders given by god or an angel higher than us, which was only 2 other than the archangels themselves."

Nightmare started laughing hysterically. Tori looked at him in confusion and then spoke, "What it so funny?!" he said taking another step back. Nightmare looked at him and stopped laughing long enough to speak again.
"One of those angels was St. Peter no?" he started laughing again. Tori was confused, who was St. Peter? Placid grew a small sweat and shouted at him. "Whats your point? Why are you even here?!" he said looking dead on at Nightmare who was bobbing back and forth again.
"My purpose here was to take Kibiko, you see the current reaper is quite busy... He needed an apprentice." he said chuckling lightly. "Azazel was intrigued that I took the position and asked me to do him a favor..." he said stopping his bobbing once more. Tori and Placid looked at him in confusion and he spoke again.
"He wanted me to visit to see how you were doing... To visit Lord Nocturne as well..." he said laughing. Placid's stomach churned and he took a few steps back. He shook the fear from his eyes and looked at him dead in the face.
"It's time for you to go and tell your 'Master' that nobody cares about his situation!"

Nuriko thought for a moment. "St. Peter is dead... isn't he? Current reaper... Who is the current reaper?" she looked at him before glancing over to Tori and Bakura. Bakura looked nervous as hell. This made her wonder. 'What does he have to Bakura have to do with the rogue reaper?' she thought to herself, before looking at Tori for a minute. Tori didn't seem to realize that St. Peter was the angel that he was framed for murdering. She looked back at Nightmare.

Nightmare looked at Nuriko and nodded like a chicken bobbing it's head. "St. Peter was killed..." he said chuckling. "Lord Nocturne was highly pleased with that..." he laughed hystericlly again and then continued to answer her question. "The current Reaper? His name is Zanenamel. He is quite a piece of work. Kills like a machine!" he said shaking, almost as a shiver. Tori looked at Nightmare and noticed that he was shivering. He wasn't any assistant. Reapers needed no help and he was shivering because if he got caught this 'Zanenamel' would banish him...
"You are not anyone's assistant are you?!" Tori yelled, Nightmare flinched and shook harder, "Quiet you fool! He is close!" Nightmare said looking around nervously. Placid could feel something dark close by, he couldn't pinpoint it however. This troubled him, who was it that was nearby?
Kibko looked at Mihari and sighed. When she did it, her breathe came out like a cold winters day. "What... Whats going on?" she got up and walked to the stair case to see the thing from her dream standing at her front door. She shook tremendously and tried to cry out but no sound came out.
Nightmare looked around in panic before looking up the staircase to see Kibiko at the top. He laughed hystericlly and said, "Its all right little girl, everything will be okay!" he said it like a maniac and started to float toward her. But, he stopped and shook even worse than before.
"No! Sir please! I didn't mean to fail!" he said, a man had appeared in front of him. He was wearing a black suit and a red tie. followed by having long red hair. He looked at the demon and then Nightmare just vanished while screaming in pain. The man closed his eyes and sighed, "Help is so hard to find these days. I mean to be trumped by children... Demons are just so unhelpful..." he said pulling out a cigarette case and lighting one up.
He scoped the room whom had people staring in awe at him, "Im sure you all know who I am. My names Azazel. I am the herald of Envy. Demon extraordinaire!" and with that he chuckled softly and just scoped Placid and Nuriko. and pointed at them both smiling.
"You two are quite something... I mean who would have thought two former reapers be under the same roof? It quite hilarious actually." he said it like he was mocking them, Placids eyes grew and he backed up more, holding his head, 'No! I didn't do anything it was him! It was all his fault!' he thought to himself as he fell to the ground. Tori looked at Azazel dead in the red eyes, "You liar! You need to leave before I force you out!" he shouted, Azazel chuckled at him, and in an instant he flew to the top of the stairs grabbing Kibiko then flew back down holding her tight around her stomach.
"No! Let her go!" Tori shouted, Azazel just smiled devilishly and looked down. "she is quite the piece of work, very enticing..." he said laughing. "I could always use a new toy..."

Nuriko didn't have much time to think. She threw a ball of light at Azazel, causing him to flinch, then jumped at Kibiko, pulling her out the front door. No sooner did she hit the front she jumped into the air, carrying Kibiko with her as a pair of pitch black wings unfurled from her back and carried her into the night sky. She knew Kibiko would see her, but there wasn't much she could do at the moment, and she wanted to keep her safe. She had her arms wrapped around Kibiko's waist as she carried her without too much difficulty.
Mihari stood staring at the front door, it all happening so fast that she barely saw what happened. She looked around the room, Placid looking shaken, almost scared. She rushed to his side, kneeling beside him and placed her hand on his arm. Rei had been sitting there trying to comprehend everything as it went on, and kept his mouth shut the entire time.

"Humph, little mouse has quite a bite..." Azazel said brushing his suit off. He gave tori a smug look and shrugged his shoulders. Tori just looked at him in the eyes and stared in awe. 'The bearer of Envy... How... why...?' he thought to himself as Azazel stared at Mihari. "well well, you boys were having a party without inviting me? You have all the girls made by Ariel and had no intension on sharing..." he said smiling. Placid moved in front of Mihari and gave him an angry look, almost evil in nature. "you lay one hand on anyone here again, and I will be sure to send your sister your body as a pile of ash!" his head pulsated and he fell back to the ground. Tori looked back at him and signaled Rei to leave, "find Nuri and Kibiko, make sure they are ok, Please..." he turned back and looked Azazel in the eyes.
"Now, who is Ariel?" he said looking a bit confused. Azazel chuckled at his opponents cluelessness and flicked his hair, "My boy, you don't know about the bearers of the 7 sins do you?" he chuckled again and spoke once more, "There is one bearer, each related to one of the 7 deadly sins. One each for Lust, Gluttony, Wrath, Greed, Pride, Sloth, and yours truly. We each are all amazingly dangerous and are the best set of siblings around..." he shrugged again to shake his head. "Ariel is my sister, herald of Lust." he said looking at Mihari again.
Placid rose back to his feet, his eyes turned grey as he grew angrier, "Take one step closer... Give me a reason to kill you!"

Mihari blushed as Placid stood up for her, making her smile a little, regardless of the serious situation. She placed her hand on Placid's arm, moving slightly closer to him. Being a priestess, she was no good at fighting. And there was something about that man that made her feel... uneasy. Besides that he was one of the 7 demon lords. She moved farther behind Placid, the mas gaze making her feel uncomfortable.
Nuriko was suprised that Kibiko hadn't freaked out or anything. She had been relatively quiet. She smiled, not quite sure where she was going until she found herself landing in front of Angel falls.

"I-..." Kibiko started to speak, she had no idea what to think. Who was that man? For that matter what was he? What were her new 'friends'? She fell to her knees and just breathed a deep breath trying to stay calm. She realized she couldn't hide it, she ran to a nearby bush and threw up. She hated flying in planes, but it never made her sick. "Nuriko... What are you...?"
She asked but then felt odd. As she looked at Nuriko she felt flustered. "Wow... I never realized how... cute you were..." she said collapsing to the ground and blushing while trying to stay focused on staying awake. She looked over to see a woman in a black dress. Black hair and brown eyes. She sat there staring at Kibiko and smiled.
"My dear, you are one of my favorite pieces of work..."
Placid grunted and kneeled holding his arms, his eyes were gray, however they kept fading to a dark gray and then back to normal grey. "No, not you... Stay b-back..." he said to himself. Azazel raised an eyebrow and then gave a scared look on his face. "Wait! Those Grey eyes!" he said kneeling down, "I have finally met you lord Nocturne!"
Placid screamed in pain as a black aura surrounded him, "NO! Don't do that!" he said trying to hold in the demon within his mind. Tori looked around in confusion and finally took control. He jumped toward Azazel and flung him outside. the demon chuckled and stood up in the yard. "Boy, you are going to regret the day you touched me!" he said brushing his suit off. Tori gave him a dirty look and flew into the air revieling his wings. He gave Azazel a smug look and pointed right at him, "Regret what?! I don't see you trying to do anything about it!" With that he flew off toward Angel Falls, once he arrived he landed in the lakes middle Island and awaited for the man of the hour.
"You will regret bringing me here by your lonesome self!" Azazel called landing in front of Tori. His wings were odd. The resembeled wings the were mechanical in nature. Blade like variants and bolts, they folded up as if they were coming from a machine. He jumped back and stood there staring at Tori with a devilsh smile on his face.
"Come boy, you don't think you can beat a demon of my calibur do you? An puny Angel like you couldn't amount to anything!" he shouted almost about to laugh. Tori looked at him and engulfed his hands in flames. "I don't think I can kill you, I know I can!" and witht that he flung a fireball the size of a small child at Azazel. He blocked it, making him slide back about a yard and breath deeply, "Whoo! You have a spicy dish! What makes you think that could harm me?!" he took his hand and raised it. Then slowly placed it in a snapping formation. "You haven't seen how hot this could get!" and with that he snapped his fingers, afterwhich caused a massive explosion right onto the Angel. Tori flew back into a nearby hill and collapsed, "Wh-what are you...?" he said getting up and ripping off his tatered shirt. Azazel laughed and walked over to Tori and grabbed him by his neck and held him up. "Boy, I am everything you wish you could be! I am the herald of Envy!"
Placid sat there with his eyes wide open. 'No, the seal... Its... Broken...' he thought to himself as his eyes grew black as night itself. He stood up and had a blank stare, 'No, its... Just weak...' he tried to move but then felt Nocturne becoming restless.
'No! You can't come now!'
'GAH! That seal has become undone!'
'No! Just because its weak means nothing! Please!'
'You will watch as all of them burn!'
Placid's body stood still and blank before twitching a few times. He finally turned around and looked at Mihari. His face was blank still, it looked at the door and walked out into the front yard. His wings unfolded. That of a demons type, Mechanical, and flew toward Angel Falls. After landing about a yard away from Azazel and Tori, he sat staring at him. his voice wasn't normal, it was overlayed. Like it was possesed, a chilling and odd tone overtook it.
"You dare touch a being of Light Azazel?" he said still with the same blank look. He looked at Tori and then back at Azazel, "Finish what you started... Allow me, Nocturne to come forth and and rule over you and your siblings once more... We can be rule over this place like planned long ago." he said it like it meant nothing. Azazel looked at him then squeezed Tori's neck, "Sure Master! Anything for you!"
Then Placid's eyes Flashed grey and black before he grabbed his head and screamed, throwing a huge wave of energy toward Azazel and Tori. It threw them both and Placid screamed. "NO! I won't allow you to hurt anyone!" he shouted, another voice spoke. It was deeper and was tainted with complete evil, "YOU WILL NOT IMPEDE ME YOU HUSK!". Placid fell to his knees and cried out in pain as the arua around him grew smaller. "No... I won't allow you to be here, no more pain, no more pain, no more pain...." he said crying out again. He looked up and appeared in front of Azazel who had the most confused look on his face.
"YOU DON'T BELONG HERE!"
