Rena Mairuzu's Story

"Guess who's backkkk~." Rena said bursting through the front door. The woman had just got off from her bartending job. The job suited her almost too perfectly. She met new people everyday, flirted, and even had some 'fun'. She adored it. "And guess who I brought with me!" Rena said pointing her thumb to the new comer in the house. Kojima looked up from the book he was reading at being mentioned. The teen examined everyone in the room, they all looked pretty decent. As he continued to look at everyone, Rena rudely nudged him with her elbow in his side. "Go on." she said coyly. Not really knowing what to say, Kojima said the simplest thing he could. "Hi." Rena rolled her eyes and glomped the teen. "This here you guys is my adorable baby brother, Kojima. He had been living by himself for a while, so I decided he should come and live with the rest of his fellow sins. You hear that Ko-ko? You won't be a loner anymore!"

At this point, Kojima's whole face was red. His sister had hugged him AND called him Ko-ko, IN PUBLIC. She knew she was only supposed to call him that in private. But the woman couldn't help herself, it was too much fun getting him all embarassed. Rena stopped hugging him and stood next to him. The two almost looked identical, with their coal black hair and golden eyes. Except that Rena's hair was much longer than Kojima's, who's hair stopped at his shoulders. "Now Kojima, I expect you to go and talk to the others, tell them what sin you are and stuff. I'm going to fix myself something to eat."

And with that she started walking towards the kitchen. Hearing foot steps behind her, she turned around, grabbed her brother's arm, and dragged him back to the living room. Why did his sister insist on him talking with these people? He was not in the mood to talk, he wanted to continue reading his book. Rena started off towards the kitchen again when she looked back and saw that Kojima was following her again. She quickly took out her gun and pointed it at his forehead. "Sit the fuck down or I'll shoot you." Rena said seriously. Kojima ran and sat back in his sit. The golden-eyed woman blew him a kiss and skipped to the kitchen. The teen felt like dying right about now.

Fin~


The moment Fin heard Rena and the fact she was home was no good this meant it was time to go hide. This meant it was time to go find a place to hide or go lock her self in her room to keep away from Rena. She did not mind Rena it was all the touching that she did not like. Fin slowly moved from the stole she was sitting on leaving Takeshi hat behind. She moved down the long hall going to her room. It was nice that it was in the main floor she she could get around with a little more easy.


Fin's room was simple to the point it was a little sad. You would never know that it belonged to someone who was seventeen. It looked liked it belong to someone who was sixty or older in all truth. A bed with the plainest sheets close to the window neatly made. A desk with a strange computer that had a key board with strange dots. Head phones so she could play back what she wrote or know what song she was picking. 13 Books with barail(sp), even with out her sight she enjoyed reading. Everything was so neat and tidy and in its place. Even her clothing was organized and had its own places.

"Ah, Fin, where are you-" Takeshi stopped mid way in his sentences and sighed, "Right..." He knew how much both Lusts teased her, and honestly, if it was just him and the other teen in the room, she would have been fine. It was Ren who was the trouble maker, always deciding when he should tell them where she hid, or when he should not. His intentions were always unknown and this made things a bit difficult with the Lusts around.

Ren didn't turn his head when the door opened. Instead, since he already knew who it was, he exclaimed, "Welcome back Rena!" He wasn't aware that her brother had some until his sniffed the air and caught a sniff of something familiar. He turned to Kojima and studied him for a moment before running up to him and putting an arm around his shoulder, "Look at that! Another demon! Welcome to the family kid!" He said, knowing he was the elder out of the two, and perhaps even the eldest out of them all.

Already far from the house, Nakaba was walking through the city, looking for her target. These people were usually in those tall buildings, not doing there work. Her job was simple, find them, grab them, and push them out the window. It seemed like a terrible and horrifying thing to do, but if someone who acted too much like their sin, who is human, they would have to die, making it seem like suicide so the Sin wouldn't get in trouble. She walked a few more paces until her head turned to a tall business building, "Found it."

Why am I always falling ill? It doesn't make sense ... Sins aren't supposed to grow sick ... It just isn't fair ... Why are the other sins able to prance around and do things, while I'm either stuck her resting or going to school now-a-days? And why do they all pay some much attention to Fin? She's human. They never pay attention to me ... It just isn't fair ...

Carina gazed down with dead eyes at Takeshi as he approached the house. She sat on the windowsill and leaned against the side of the window, her lips parted slightly in laziness, her eyes dark with anger and jealousy as she heard everyone on the floor below her laughing and enjoying themselves, thanking Takeshi for the presents and teasing and playing around with each other.

I hate her ... I really do ... Besides, what kind of stupid name is Fin? She's always walking around, fawning for the other Sin's and the Demon's attention, and yet they still give it to her! Who cares if she's blind? She isn't helpless! She's more then capable of taking care of herself, and yet they give her all of their attention, all the time. What about me? I'm sick at least once a week for several days, yet they don't care.

They don't care.

They don't care.

She turned away from the window and gripped a vase, which sat on a stand beside her, before chucking it at a wall angrily. It shattered into several thousands of pieces, one glancing off the floor and brushing against her cheek, causing a small, thin line of blood to trickle down her cheek.

I hate it here. I really do ...

Tears bloomed in her eyes and she turned away from her room, rubbing furiously at the tears, sniffling a little. I hate it here.

After finally being able to straighten and gain control of herself, she shoved down the emotions in her throat and made her way out of the room and down to the rooms below. She ignored everyone as she walked through the main room, stopping just inside the kitchen. She was hungry, and yet she couldn't bring herself to eat.

Maybe if you were nicer to everyone, they would try to include you in things ...

Shut up, Flora. It's none of your business.

But Carina ...

No! Shut up and don't you dare try to-

It was too late, however, and Flora jumped forward, shoving Carina back. The normally dark brown, almost red colored eyes, shifted to a light blue, and the girl turned, peaking back into the main room. When she saw Takeshi, she darted forward and threw her arms around him, more then happy that he was back.

"Takeshi!" she cried, her voice slightly higher then normal. Tears gathered in her eyes and she sniffled. "You're home," she smiled.

Lights frowned, watching Fin retreat into her room. The Lust's shouldn't treat her the way they did, and Ren should never tell them where she was when she actually was able to avoid the idiots. But alas, they were all blatantly stupid, and there was nothing she was ever going to be able to do about it. Not that she really wanted to change anything about it, sometimes it could provide great entertainment for the other Sins, including herself. At the same time she didn't like it, couldn't they all bother someone that wasn't Fin?

Rena entered the kitchen and Lights prepared to leave, removing her hand from Takeshi's and offering him an apologetic smile. "You really don't have to get us anything, but if it makes you feel better," she gave a soft laugh. "And hey, next time you go out, tell me. I swear I haven't left this stupid house in forever." Standing, she quickly retreated to the living room, where she heard Kojima and Ren talking. Or more like Ren teasing the poor child. Child, he looked older than she did.

When she entered the living room, she found her brother entering from the other side of the room. "A new person!", Jamie yelled excitedly, bouncing towards the two before deciding they would probably think he was crazy. He stopped short, quickly moving back and dropping into an armchair. "Hi!, I'm Jamie. We'll get along, well, unless you're like your sister," as he said this, Lights moved over to sit on the side of his chair.

Kojima was very uncomfortable to say in the least. A young man with long hair had came and put his arm around his shoulder to what seemed to be a welcoming gesture. "Actually, I'm a Sin, Greed to be exact." He said following Rena's orders. Another young man came and introduced himself as Jamie, saying that the two of them should get along unless he's like his sister. Kojima frowned. Was Rena that bad? He knew she had a problem with being caring and all, and that little obsession of hers. But minus those flaws, she's an okay person. "Ah, hello. I'm Kojima, and is Rena that bad?" the teen asked. Just as his question was asked, Rena walked out of the kitchen and sped towards Ren knowing that he would tell her where Fin is. "Oh Renny Ren, mind telling me where Fin is? I promise I'll return the favor." she said winking at him.

"It seems as if everyone coming out all of a sudden-" Takeshi's sentence was interrupted when he found a pair of arms wrapped around his stomach, he turned around and smiled at Flora, "Yes, I'm back." Unlike most people, Takeshi was probably the person who would least get embarrassed. It'd take a miracle, and be a miracle if that were to happen. He reached his hand out and put back on his green hat again. He felt the terrible urge of his again as he reached into his pocket, and lit his third smoke. It was a horrible habit, but it reminded him of his past so he couldn't drop it for anything.

Ren's eyes shifted past each person who just entered the room. To Kojima, he let out a small sigh and said, "Right right... I guess I have to babysit one more person then..." Ren wasn't very fond of his babysitting job, but didn't mean it in a rude way, "And there's so many of you..." He muttered, also not liking groups very much, but enjoying to be around people he knew the most, meaning his family in that old mansion. He then heard Rena called out to him and thought about it. His answers to that question were always unpredictable, and usually, he'd easily tell her where the human was hiding, but he giggled and held a finger to his lips, "Sorry, but I'm in debt to that little girl, just this one time. You should have came before she offered to brush my hair~!" He teased, sticking out his tongue. It really was true, if Rena had come before hand, he wouldn't have been in debt to Fin, and probably would have told her where she was hiding without hesitation, but unfortunately, "You were just a bit too late~"

Nakaba had this strange ability where she could just blend in with any crowd, despite her outfit and unusual appearance. It wasn't exactly an "ability" as in power, but it just naturally happened, and even she didn't know the reason behind it, but it helped her a lot when taking out a sinful person of her own. She entered the building, no one noticing her as she headed to the top floor where the lazy man she spotted would commit his "suicide."

Touya made hes way down the stairs and into the first floor, "Ah, Hello everyone! Good to see that the majority of people are here!" he said as he entered the room. He was a little dissapointed to see that Fin wasn't in the room, but he wasn't going to let that ruin his mood. "Oh! Takeshi you're back!" Touya said rather cheerfully, he was excited to see that Takeshi was back, even though they didn't know each other very well.

He ran up to Takeshi and put his arm around Takeshi's neck and leaned closer to him and whispered into his ear, "Next time you leave can I come? I saw this cute dress that I think would look great on Finny!" with that said he withdrew and acted like he said nothing of importance. He then noticed that Rena had returned, "Hellloo Rena~ good to see you're back as well!" Maybe Fin went and hid since she came back..,he thought, hes eyes wandered across the room for a moment until he noticed a boy that looked the age of fifteen or sixteen "Oh, and who might that be?" he asked rather curious of what had happened while he was in his room. 'Now were would my litte doll be hiding this time..'

Ryuji was on the street, in his, well, tattered clothes, looking at the house that all the other sins were in. Well, of course he wouldn't know, because he never saw them would he? He thought to himself, hearing all the talking. They're lucky they have a big family. He sighed. Well, you couldn't get somewhere to live if you didn't ask, right? Well, maybe not, but he was Pride! Why be embarrassed in front of some people that actually might be embarrassed in having a stranger in their house? So Ryuji went up to the door, and he knocked on it. He waited for a reply. Hopefully this wasn't a pit of illuminati spies.

Rena groaned. That means she would to go and hunt Fin down herself, which she really didn't want to do. But she didn't mind it, she liked to play games before she caught her prey. Hearing Touya make his presence known in the room, Rena smiled. "Hello dearest!" She cooed. "As you can see, Finny Fin has left the room and no one won't tell me where she is." The golden-eyed woman pouted. Hearing the young man who had asked who the teen was, said teen looked up from his book and nodded towards him as a small hello. Rena gave Kojima a dirty look before speaking up. "This is my adorable baby brother who will be staying with us from now on, Kojima meet Touya, Touya meet Kojima. Oh! I just remembered. We must find Fin Touya-darling!" Rena said linking her arm with Touya's.

Just as she was going to drag Touya to Lord knows where, Lights spoke up and told them to leave Fin alone. Rena raised an eyebrow. Since when did she start defending Fin? The golden-eyed woman gasped in mock hurt. "Wanting to go and visit my lovely Fin is called being horny? Oh my, I had never knew that. You never cease to amaze me Lights." At this point Lights had walked into the Kitchen. "Also darling," Rena called out loud enough for Lights to hear. "If you wanted my attention, all you had to do was ask. I'd give it to you in more ways than one~." That was the deal breaker. She knew that would make the other girl mad, but of course, she did not care, one of many things she did on a regular basis. Clearing her throat, she looked up to Touya and smiled wickedly. "Now, shall we be on our way?" Kojima shook his head and walked in the direction where the girl named Lights had went. Even if he didn't know the girl, it was only right if he went to check on her. Once he found the girl, Kojima saw that she was shaking and grasping to what seemed extremely tightly to the counter. "Are...are you okay?" He asked unsure of his own voice.

Uncle Nikolas


Uncle Nikolas for as big and heavy as he was could move with grate easy. He had away of moveing with out sound or walking in to a room with out being seen when he wanted to. He brought bags of food in to restock every thing. He Looked at Touya and Rena over the top of his glasses. He knew who they where going to go bug. "Hold it you two what is the rule when Fin is working on her art?" His voice was deep, thick and a little scratchy but still had a soothing feel to it. He made a carved in stone rule that Fin was not to be bugged when she was working on her art. That when she was in that room they were to walk off and leave her alone. He took Fin in and treated her like his own.

Nikolas started to put things way as he waited for Touya and Rena to answer him. He moved slow taking his time stocking the cans of soup, noodles, milk, eggs and so on. He always keep a few things ready to go in the ice box. He was planing on making som fresh bread later that day. He found it to be cheaper then buying. On someones birth day he would make what ever they wanted along with what ever dessert they wanted. He even had request days for meals still no matter what he took in t account thing that every one liked and did not liked.

Fin

Fin reflected on how she got there. It was Uncle Nikolas. It was a year or so go when he found her hitch hiking in Ireland when he was there for a visit. She still cold feel the rain touching her skin that day. Nikolas offered to give her a ride and a hot meal in trade for someone to talk to and Fin took that offer. Nikolas never did anything that crossed the line. He just wanted someone to talk to. The hot meal was wonderful on that cold rainy day. Nikolas could tell there was something so much more to this girl who was blind. When he asked where she was going all she said was. "As fair as your willing to take me" she had no plan or real pace to go. All Nikolas could do was blink and wounder if this girl had a home...was she a run away? Still that did not sit well with him. Once things got a little more slow at the pub he leaned in and asked in a low voice. "You see past what I am don't you?" there was no anger or hateful in his tone but kindness as if he understood the part of her that scared her.


Fin would slowly nod to him for her answer as said in a lone tone. "yes, your a demon" The way she said it showed she had no fear or surprise to what he was. It in truth surprised him but he did not let that show in actions. Nikolas leaned back in to chair pulling out his pipe lighting. he slowly drew a puff of smoke thinking and he blew out smoke rings. He had meet people who saw past the painted world of the humans he wondered how fair her gift really went it was a rare gift and he knew this. He felt relaxed with her as if she had some how effected him. Still the streets where no place for a young girl with her gift or not. The the idea came to him. "My dear why not end your wondering and come live with me and the others like me" He figured it would be a good place for her to be. It would be safer than being on the street it may take time to get use it not just for her but the sins that lived there welcoming a human in to there home.


Fin took the offer it would get her out of Ireland and to a whole new place. It would give her truly a new start in her new life. Nikolas called and warned them that he was bring someone home with him and everyone was going to be on their best behaver to welcome them. Once to the mansion where everyone lived Nikolas opened the door and helped Fin in. She use her cane that helped her see. Nikolas had her back pack with the few things she owned, leading her to a chair so she could he sat the back pack down. "now make yourself at home" He moved to the kitchen to make some tea for her. He sang as he worked only to make Fincayra giggle. He was a very jolly man....well demon how enjoyed life and let it show. Fin wondered if he had kids or even grandkids of some kind. He seemed like the type that would....or just be good with kids as it was. None the less she was very happy that they meet when they did. That day the fates and been more than very kind to her then they have been in the past.


This is when she would first meet Takeshi the sin of Wrath out of the all sins. He was the friendliest to her right off the bat out of all them. She never knew if he was smiling when he first approached her but Fin liked to thin he was. Takeshi noticed the fact she was blind and guided her hands letting her use her touch to see what he looked like. He soft cheek bones that flowed with his facial structure. He was very handsome from what she could tell with her touch. His skin was soft she was so thankful that she was looking down so her long hair could hide her blushing cheeks from view. Her hands moved down slowly she touched his shoulders. She could tell he was strong and had to do something with fighting. Her fingers moved to his dog tags and stopped there whispering "thank you for letting me see what you look like.” She moved to set her hands in her lap. She could fell the warmth of her cheeks going to ears at this point. “I….I am Finayra by the way…..” than he would give her his name starting their friendship.


Ren fallowed and was a little harsh and cranky from his hair being tangled. Ren thought that Nikolas was bring home another Demon or something along that lines, but a human...a human that was blind! That was a huge shock and let down to Ren and he had no problem making it clear that he was not happy about this. He tried to scare Fin witch was rather tricky with her being blind. He had to use is words to this. However Ren end up getting flicked in the nose by her like he was a cat or dog miss behaving. Takeshi started to laugh at the stunned and very confused Ren. He had never had this happen to him even more so by a human who was blind. He had no time to react to what happened to him next as she took his hair brush from him telling him to sit. He really did not know what to do at this point bat sat down. Fin went to work the knots out of his hair in no time it was smooth and done in to brade. This was really the big turning point when their friendship started.

Touya the moment he saw her she in many ways was his. Not in a sexual fair from it. He saw Fin from how small she was and that long silver hair, pale skin and strange silver eyes as a living doll that was meant for him. That was meant for him to tend to and pull strings on. This where the love hate friendship started for the two of them. She did not mind Touya when he was not trying to get her in to out fits or doing her hair. She liked when he treated as a person. That was when they had tea and treats no matter what though he was kind to her. It also was that with Rena as well, to Fin Rena and Touya where like peas in a pod.

Lights was hard to get along with at first but nothing like Carina who still to this day had such a wrathful hated for Fin. With Nakaba it took more time than the other for her to take a liking to fin. How ever when Fin asked about the plays she liked so much or asked Nakaba to read to her it changed things a lot and it built a stronger friendship for the two. Fin really enjoyed that. In time she made friends with almost everyone there they became her family. It was strange to think she lived in a house full of reapers, full of sin, full of demons.......but that really did not matter nor did she care that was what they where to her they where people who should be treated as people.

Lights' response was a relief to Kojima. The girl was mad, but she didn't seem mad enough to start slinging furniture everywhere. Rather, the girl was on the brink of doing so, and Kojima did not what that to happen. The teen really didn't know what to do at this point. He expected the girl to tell him to sod off and walk away, but alas, she did not. He was actually thinking of walking away and pretending he had said nothing to her, but he wouldn't do something so rude. Taking a breath, he was going to ask the only thing he could. "Is there anything in particular that would calm you down? And also, please forgive my sister and her rude actions. I'm sure she didn't mean it." Kojima pleaded, remembering his sibling's remarks.

Suddenly, a girl with red hair walked into the kitchen and plopped down next to an elderly man who he had not realized was in the kitchen. The red-head had seemed to be crying, and of course Kojima frowned. What was with all of these upset females? This was only the second girl but he was pretty sure someone else was going to be upset. "Are you okay?" He said walking over to the red-head.

Rena's ears perked up when she heard the voices at the front door, a new voice, and he was male! Today must have been her lucky day. "Touya-dear". She said untangling her arm from his. "There seems to be new prey at the front door and I must get to know him better." she said with a wink and ran over to the newest addition of the Sins. Once the woman was at her destination, she moved extremely close (Close enough to feel the other person breathing on you) to the young man and slowly ran a finger up and down his arm. "Hello there~ I'm Rena, and who just might you be? Oh and hi Riku-dear!" Rena said waving at the boy who had just walked in.

Lights blinked, watching the boy just up and walk off. Or not really off, but at least away from her. "Alright... apparently manners are non-existent," she said somewhat sadly. Her anger hadn't dissipated yet, and the Wrathful side of her was still fuming. If she were to be honest, this whole entire house was sort of driving her nuts. Everyone wanted to be the center of attention, and she was suddenly reminded why she chose to spend most of her time in her room. They all had their problems, sure, but did they really have to run around crying? At least in Carina's case. Or grind up against whatever could breath? The Lust's. It all was getting to her, adding to her anger. And she knew she shouldn't be angry, she was telling herself that this stuff didn't really matter. Still though, the Sin inside of her was gathering all these little things and finding ways to grow her anger.

Standing, she left the house without another word to anyone.

---

As Gabriel entered the living room, the first person in the room to draw her attention was Touya. Immediately her cheeks flushed red, heart fluttering. Even her careful stride paused, just enough for someone to notice if they were watching. Continuing forward, she offered him a small smile before dropping onto the couch. He made her nervous, more than anyone in the house, even Rena. And Rena scared her, too much to put into words. It didn't bother her as much when Touya chose to mess with her, but when Rena did it just felt... weird. And wrong. Not that she had anything against girls or lesbians in any way, but that wasn't her. After all, her heart did sort of belong to Touya. Not that he knew that, not that she wanted to admit it to herself. But it was true, at least at that moment it was true. She got so jealous whenever Touya played with Fin, and it seemed he always did. Seemed like she was only important when Fin wasn't around.

Not that she didn't like Fin, don't think that. Gabe loved Fin, she was like the sister she always wanted. Even though she had never actually really spoken to the girl, but she rarely spoke with anyone. Very selective mutism, they called it. Only did she speak around those she felt safe with. Glancing back up at Touya, she crossed her legs beneath her and tried to bring the smile back to her lips. "Hey."

Ryuji had a big grin on his face. He walked into the room ostentatiously and saw a lady that had long, black hair, and a slender body. "Well hello there." He knew people, if not everyone, would be a sin. And by the look of this lady, she would probably be.. Lust. The ones that love forever. "Well, since I know everyone in this house might be a sin, I'm Ryuji Okuma. I'm Pride. Nice to meet you." He looked around this portion of the house. He saw the 2 demons, a slightly brown haired man, a pink haired girl, Rena, and that red haired girl that was schizophrenic or something. He could easily see through these people. The brown haired man was obviously another Lust. And that boy demon that he saw at the door was definitely trying to leave but was greeted by Ryuji, instead. But he still couldn't find out what that red haired girl was. Was she human? I don't think so. If anything, that girl was probably wrath.But maybe envy... He didn't want to waste anymore time. He should introduce himself to this crowd he will stay with. He first walked up to the demon that had long black hair. (ren)"Hey, I'm Ryuji. I guess... I'll be staying here for the time being." Ryuji held out his hand. The man's icy stare kind of.. Scared Ryuji.

Nakaba looked up at Fin's face and pointed at her cheek and said quietly, "Just a bit more right there..." She heard a lot of loud noises coming from outside and it started to annoy her honestly. She never liked loud noises, it scared her a bit too since she didn't know what was going on outside so she simply got up, carrying her books with her, and peered out the door, 'Ah... more people...' She shivered at the thought and headed back into Fin's room, plopping herself back into the corner, "Takeshi's not back yet..." Nakaba stated out loud in a small voice. She never thought of him as anything else other than a close friend of brother, it would be impossible to think other wise to her. She then glanced back up at Fin and asked, "Would you mind if you could take a scan around the area for me...? I'm getting a bit nervous and there's too many people outside..." She murmured. She hadn't spoke so many words at once and it made her feel a bit unusual to say so much.

Ren turned to the new Sin in front of him and, with a wide grin, shook his hand as he did with almost everyone, "Nice to see another Sin in the house! My name's Ren by the way! To be on my good side, it's simple really! Just don't cause too much of a racket, or leave too much for a demon to clean up, and we could easily become friends! Got it kid?" He asked, still having that same smile on his face. He'd usually say this as a threat, even though he never seemed to show such.

Yamato turned around and glared at Ren, seeing how he seemed to be the loudest. He then looked at Ryuji and sighed, "Another Sin... I don't even know why I came to this house in the first place..." He rolled his eyes and continued to write. All of a sudden, he made an error in his writing, and crumbled up his paper before tossing it behind his head, most likely hitting someone else.

Riku laughed at Yamato's thought on the new guy. Both of them were human, yet Yamato leaned more onto the negative side of everything while Riku was the exact opposite. He heard Rena's words call from the other room and answered with an upbeat tone, "Good to see you again Rena! And new guy!" He didn't see the new comer to the house feeling so unusual around Rena, so he saw no need to separate the two, "You're going to have to learn everyone's names around here, so to add onto what Ren said, I'm Riku! Nice to meet you!" He did a lazy salute to Ryuji with a beam on his face.

Takeshi was still roaming around the outside city. He seemed to have lost his direction, and being the sadistic side of himself now, he was getting more annoyed by the second, "Damn it... where did I even enter this place... It's your fault for even walking away. You could have stayed!" He growled at himself, the Takeshi most people knew at the house, "Tch, whatever. I'm going to stay like this all day so you learn your lesson." He muttered and continued to walk, searching for the mansion he always went back to.

"I really like suckers, don't you?"

Mizore, of course, was speaking to a mirror. It wasn't that she was crazy - if you asked her, she would hastily assure you that she wasn't - but instead, she's merely shy. It more than likely didn't help her that she had a very low self-esteem. She was a demon and would do her best to fulfill her duties as a guard for the Sins, but in normal circumstances, is often found to be quiet and resigned.

At the current moment, she was attempting to overcome her fear of speaking to her fellow housemates, by making small talk to herself in the body-length mirror in her bedroom.

"I'm Mizore ... It's really nice to, ah, um ... Meet you ..."

She mentally slapped herself. How stupid could she become? She was the only female Demon present, and yet did not live up to the expectations of a female demon. Yes, she could become quite slinky and lust-driven, but at most times was reserved. Oh how she wished to be like her fellow demons; self-satisfied, self-assured, and self-recognized. At least they knew what they wanted, and at least they were willing to go for it. She, on the other hand, would shuffle her feet and murmur when asking for something. She did, however, tend to stick close to the other demons, despite them being of the male status and her acute fear of men. Especially Ren; she would often hide behind him when around the others. As far she knew, though, she annoyed the crap out of him.

She tugged anxiously on the white sleeves of her sweater.

She dragged in a deep breath.

She faltered.

Finally, the girl turned and made her way from her room, sucker placed firmly between lips, and hand fingering the bottom of her skirt.

Making her way in the direction from which all of the voices leaked from, Mizore felt fear beginning it's nasty bubbling in the pit of her stomach. When she finally found the main room, in which it seemed that everyone was gathered, she felt the fear rise up and explode inside of her. With a soft sound that was a mix between shock and a strangled groan, she rushed over to Ren and ducked behind him, her sleeves hanging down to her fingers as she gripped the back of his top. She planted her feet in that spot and refused to move, trembling slightly.

'Huh, where'd she go?' Kojima muttered as he looked for the red-head woman he had spoken to. Was he hallucinating? The woman was there a few mintues ago, or was she? But then the teen realized that he had blacked out often, and that she had been the latest victim to witness it. Kojima turned back around to find the other girl gone also. That one right there was his fault, he had forgot to excuse himself from the young girl.

Maybe she got mad and left? Yes, that seemed like a pretty legitamite answer. Walking out the kitchen, he decided to go and find his sister.

'Oh, I almost forgot!' Rena thought as she looked around the room. She spotted the person she was looking for seated by Touya. "Hi Gabrielllll~." Rena said walking over to young girl. "How have you been? Good? Okay, well I've got a dare for you!" Giggling, the golden-eyed woman whispered the dare into Gabriel's ear, waiting for her reaction.

Rena laughed. "I know you don't have an outfit like that dear, which is why I brought you one! Now, follow me Gabriel." The golden-eyed woman said walking to her room. Said woman was on the brink of bursting into laughter. She could not wait until she saw's everyone's reaction of sweet 'ol Gabriel in that form of attire. Most likely, the others would start bitching and whining at Rena, but she had an excuse. It was a dare. And dares are dares, you must do them.

Now that she thought of it, Gabriel really didn't say yes, but she didn't say no either. Eitherway it would be a win-win situation because Rena would force the other girl to put on the outfit. As Rena walked the other way, Kojima walked to where his sister had just left, the living room. He had saw the red-headed lady whom he thought was an illusion. The teen akwardly walked over to her and cleared his throat. "Excuse me from earlier Miss, you see, I had what my sister calls it, a 'black out'. I'm not completely sure on what it is, but from what Rena has said, I become unconcious and stare lifelessly. And I'm Kojima, Rena's little brother if I hadn't made it obvious."

Kojima was shocked. He couldn't believe he had spoken that much to someone other than his sister. Maybe it meant he was starting to become (And yes, he will admit it) less of an socially akward person? He hoped so, because he actually enjoyed being around others, he was just too shy to speak up. Smiling inwardly at his progress, he held out his hand to the young lady.

Gabriel gave a wistful sigh, looking back towards the couch and Touya, but she followed her friends anyways. There wasn't a single dare in the world that would be so bad to make Gabriel turn it down, at least she had never come across one yet. This one was pushing it though, a whole day in an outfit like that? She would die! But knowing Rena, she was going to force her in it either way, so she might as well just make it easier for herself and deal with it.

Once they got to the room, Gabriel reluctantly pulled on the outfit. Standing in front of the mirror, she tugged at the bottom of it, which then made her top dip even lower. It seemed it refused to go past the bottom of her rear if she still wanted it to cover her chest too. Looking over to Rena, she sighed in defeat. "You hate me..."
