Poe smiled, No, you should have your own body. It is fun being a demon, but I rather like being myself too. Besides, you make a much better demon than I do.

Poe let Aithne slip from her and Poe shrank back down to her petite self. She put her clothes back on, then peeked out the door. "Hmm...we should leave before mother finds out we are here. She has several men downstairs."

Poe closed the door silently and sighed then, "At least I got to know what it feels like to be tall!" The short woman looked out the window, only to remember that were up on the second floor. "Oh shoot. I forgot were on the second floor...."

She looked back over to Christiana, wondering if she had transfered alright. "You ready?"

Alright then, my sweet... but you make a very good demon too, you know...

Asi christiana backed away, terrified, Aithne flowed out of Poe, a red mist seeping out of her as she shrank back to her regular form, but again Aithne left just a little bit of herself behind, in case either she - or Poe, for that matter - ever needed it.

Chris tried to scream again, but she never got the words out. Instead the mist seeped into her, and as Poe turned back to the window, Aithne stood, in her full demon form, Chris' clothing in her arms as she stepped up behind Poe and slipped one powerful arm gently around Poe's waist.

"It is high... but remember, I'm a demon ninja, sweetie..."

With that, she gathered her up in her arms and jumped out, landing easily and putting her down on the ground light as a feather. Once that was done she stretched a little and let herself slip back into that human form again, pulling the clothes back on as she did and putting her arm around Poe's.

"Well that went off fairly well... you got to be tall and strong, and I got to have my own body again. Why don't we go home, hmmm...?"

As Aithne let Poe down from jumping out of the window, she nodded to Aithne. "Yea, lets. But...dont tell Papa anything about what happened, okay?"

Poe had several different reasons why she didnt want her dad to know, and she hoped Aithne understood. She waited for Aithne to put her clothes back on, then headed home.

Once she was home, she immediately began to help her father restore his name and his fortune. She made errands, talked to people, and even made tea. By the time darkness rolled around, Poe was exhausted.

She fell into her bed, not even bothering to change into her pajamas. With her eyes closes she kicked off her shoes and wiggled into her covers. It didnt take her long at all to fall asleep.


The next day, Poe found herself in her lab, which had been cleaned and repaired. Poe was focusing on trying to make a suitable body for Aithne, so she didnt have to put up with Christiana hovering in the back of her mind. She slaved all day long making a body shape out of clay, and adding a few things to it. She then set it in a magical circle and held out her hands as she closed her eyes. She began to chant and just like last time, the circle lit up. She watched in amazement as her misshapen (she was supposed to use that as a body?) clay figure sat up.

"HAHA! Its working!" Poe did a dance of joy and twirled around her toe. "Aithne is going to be so happy!"

The room suddenly exploded in some sort of electric type power. It stung only slightly at first as tendrils flickered across her skin. "OW! Ouch... OW!"

She stopped dancing around and turned to see a vortex or something appear in the middle of the circle, destroying her clay figure. "HEY! I worked all day on th-AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Energy suddenly surged through her body, making her muscles spasm and causing her great pain. All over the city other smaller magic circles were appearing and creating the same type of vortex. Slowly, dark creatures began to emerge from them, but nothing was happening to the one that was destroying Poe herself. Poe heard someone-or something-laugh in her mind. Images also flashed violently through it just as a large claws hand began to emerge from the vortex. However, it began to close and it ultimately cut off the arm of whatever creature was trying to emerge from the 'portal'.

Poe stopped screaming after awhile and became deadly silent, just lying on the ground as the energy torn away her cloths in sheer force. Finally all became quiet again and Poe lay there smoldering, barely alive. If it weren’t for Aithne leaving a little of herself behind, she would have been dead already.

What is it that Pow-Pew has done? Find out on the next exciting episode of.....

DRAGON BALL Z!!!!!!!!

She tilted her head a little bit, then she nodded and smiled softly.

"Sure then, I won't tell..."

Aithne grinned and stretched some more again, getting settled in to her human skin a bit, before she walked off along with her, fairly cheerfully.


After they got home, and Poe immediately went about helping her father, Aithne immediately went about her own ort of help. And she did help, too, getting some of the more... belligerent clients to give what was owed, that sort of thing. A few others she coerced more gently... but she didn't want them to think she was going to be nice like that all the time. Had to establish who was boss with these businessmen... She actually got on quite well with Father, though she thought the man was stil more than a little uncomfortable with the idea of a demon as a stepdaughter, but she was certain he would warm up to the idea. If, of course, she stopped leaning quite so close over his shoulder while he was working. A little distracting, she imagined... but his reaction was funny. She finally agreed to stop, and was about to go down and check on Poe when the whole house shook, and she felt a terrible energy coming from the basement.

"Pow-Pew!"

Her eyes widened suddenly, and she took off running - she had felt that energy before. She bolted downstairs as fast as she could, and when she saw the energy flashing from the portal, her only friend dropping to the ground... and that hand... she let out a roar and claws ripped from her fingertips, then she smashed them through that hand, finishing it finally and drawing the energy from it - so much just in that hand... she felt dizzy... her whole body changed almost without her thinking about it, and she fell down next to Poe, caresing her face lightly.

"Oh sweetie please please wake up... are you alright what have you been doing down here..?

Poe remained limp and silent for a few agonizing minutes, and then slowly opened her eyes. She couldnt speak right off, so it took a little while for Aithne to get her answer.

"What....have I done....?" Pow-Pew said, looking very hurt both physically and emotionally. Poe's eyes closed again and she became limp again. Arucalin burst in a few moments later, "WHAT HAPPEND?!" he shouted, looking down at his daughter. He knelt down and made sure she was alive, then picked her up. He stared down at her worriedly for a moment, then headed back upstairs ot put her into her bed. He immediately called for a doctor, then set her down once her arrived in her room.

About half an hour later, the doctor arrived and checked Poe over thoroughly. "She is alive, but barely. She is very week for some reason. And her clothes and skin are burned so oddly.... What exactly happened to this girl? It is as if she has been electrocuted."

The doctor left medicine and strict instructions, then left. When he did, Arucalin looked over at Aithne severely. "WHAT happened? Did you cause this? I told you not to make any trouble, demon."

Aithne changed back just as the father came in, but all she could do was watch in horror as the whole thing unfolded. Finally, when the doctor had left, she was just sitting and holding Poe's hand, glaring back at the father when he yelled.

"It wasn't me! You know very well I was up in your room with you when it happened, there wasa burst of energy, I ran down to check on her, and she was like this. And there... there was an archdemon hand on the floor..."

She shook her head a little bit, and sighed.

"I don't know how it got there, I know that I'm a demon but considering youd still be a puppet if it wasn't for me you could give me the benefit of the doubt, I think!"

She huffed once, indignantly, then she closed both her hands around one of Poe's and looked to the other girl, worry in her crimson eyes. She may have been a demon but she certainly cared, that much was evident...

Arucalin narrowed his eyes at Arithne, then they softend and he sighed. "Im sorry. I know you where. Its just Christiana.... The body you are using, that I cant seem to quite trust yet. Besides, from what I have heard, it isnt wise to trust a demon."

He turned then and paused at the door, "Watch her closely. Come and get me if anything changes." He disappeared around the door then to continue with his work, even though his mind was on his daughter.


Hours later, Poe opened her eyes. It was hard to focus at first, but she finally focused on Aithne's human face. An image flashed over her face though makin Poe pale and her eyes widen. "AHHH! GET AWAY FROM ME!" She cried, suddenly moving away. She tried to get up off the bed, but her legs felt like jelly so she only hit the floor. Trembling in fear, she clutched her head trying to make the horrible images in her mind stop.

"What have I done, what have I done, what have I done....." Was all Poe could seem to say. She didnt even seem to realize that she had a few bandages on the more serious burns she had.

"I understand. She did some terrible things, and now she is paying a terrible price."

She smiled to him sweetly, then she looked back to Poe, nodding a little.

"I'll call for you. And remember, Father... you would be wise to remember that demons are not to be trusted, not generally. However... my desires currently are to take care of the girl that brought me to this plane, to show my gratitude, and that means that for so long as Poe lives, you may trust me. And I will keep her alive."

She fixed him with a look as he walked away, then she looked back to Poe and sat with her, stroking her hair gently.


When the girl finally awoke hours later, Aithne was still there, still faithfully clinging to her hand with a soft smile. So when she woke up and screamed, Aithne yelled a little herself.

"ARUCALIN!"

Something was horribly wrong with Poe - maybe looking like this girl was a bad idea after all... she started to shift right away, jumping up onto the bed and then leaping to Poe's side on all fours, her crimson and gold eyes looking at her with a deep concern.

"Pow-Pew, please, it's me, its Aithne, not Chris, I'm here, sweetie..."

Seeing Aithne in demon form seemed to frighten Poe even more. Instead of seeing Aithne though, she saw the demon that was trying to come through the portal. She cried out in fear, just as Arucalin entered the room.

Arucalin picked her up in one swoop and tried to calm her, "Whats wrong, Poe? What are you so afraid of? There is nothing to fear here! You are safe!"

"NO!" Poe cried, "HE IS GOING TO KILL ME!"

Arucalin frowned, "Who? Who is going to kill you?" Unfortunately, Poe seemed to exert herself and she passed out again. Bewildered, confused, and very concerned, he turned to look at Aithne. He was visibly startled by her appearance and just seemed to realize she actually WAS a demon. Though, her appearance is not what he expected at all. He expected nearly the same as Poe did.

Finally, he spoke to her, "Do you know who she is speaking of? And what was that you said about an archdemon?"

She fell back, looking wounded, and she just kind of curled up against the bed, hugging her knees to her chest and looking out towards the window. She would have cried at that point if she could... the girl she had tried her utmost to make into a real friend for the first time in her life... and now the girl was terrified of her...

"An archdemon is like a king, or a warlord more accrately. They're the most powerful of our kind and are almost too strong to imagine... I was second in command to six of them over my lifetime, and every one was unimaginably cruel... if one is after her then there will be big trouble before long. But I have no idea how any of them would get here, how it would happen, it doesn't make any sense... this world is supposed to be safe from demons, I only got here because of a remote chance, I don't see how it could have happened again... took me nearly a thousande years to find a hole in the right place to get here..."

She turned her gaze back up to the father, obviously more than distraught.

"Please... let me know how she is..."

She got up then and ran through the door, unable to take Poe's sobs and the fearful looks she kept casting her way. Maybe it was time she left...
