As the village market area was flourishing with business, there was a strange incident going on. Along the Rooftops, two black cats with purple stripes hopped along the rooftops with fresh fish in their mouths. The vendor who was selling the fish tried to follow but as he turned a corner, he ran back out in terror after seeing a strange creature. Loosing their trail.
As the two odd Youkai began to eat the fish raw in the middle of town, the female was chuckling.
"Did you see his face?! It was so funny!" But the male was just quietly eating his fish.
"Y-yeah. But I had some money to pay for the fish. We didn't have to steal it." The boy felt guilty till the girl slapped his back.
"Oh don't be like that brother! Sometimes we have to have some fun in the end so why not steal once in a while?!" she laughed once more, tossing an arm around the boy's shoulder.
These two Youkai are newborns. Incubo and Sogno.

"Eeeeeeeehhhhhhhh, troublemakers....."A tall woman appeared behind them, lifting them clear off the ground by the collars of their shirt effortlessly. Her paperboy cap shadowed her eyes perfectly, whispering so only they could hear, "Youkai like yourself give the well behaved a bad fame, kiddos.""Stealing isn't good or nice, if that is your idea of fun, Girl," a single Blue eye pierced from the cap at the female, "You will find lots'a trouble here in the human village where the humans just want a reason to lynch you and string you up to a tree."

Sogno tried struggling as Incubo was left to hang and question the situation.
"HEY HEY! Put us down! Do you even know who our master is?!" Sogno shouted.
"Sis, it's not nice to yell at people-" Incubo tried to say before Sogno interrupted.
"Don't tell me to not yell! Now let me go!" Sogno tried again to struggle, turning into a black cat with purple eyes. Incubo looked back at the person.
"Please forgive my sister...She really enjoys playing pranks a lot. Our master sent us here on a small task and gave us some money to buy a snack, but my sister felt it would be fun to steal from humans." Incubo played innocent well enough and even took the money out to show.
"Come on brother! Don't do that! You are giving in!" Sogno, still in her cat like form, attempted to emit an illusion of fear. Without much concentration she only managed to add a pair of bug antennas on her head instead. She continued to flail wildly for freedom. Incubo just stood still.

"Opposing bretheren eh," The bartender grumbled, holding up an idly looking from Incubo to Sogno as he explained why the two had decided to steal from a good salesman. Suddenly dropping Sogno, the tall slender woman turned too look at Incubo a hand on her hips, raising the young youkai up to eye level,"You think is fun to steal from a hardworking man?"
"He sat hours to catch this fish, took hours to carry them back to the village and all to feed his family. Having the money you decide to steal his heard work?" The bartender scowlded her, now that incubo was higher, she could easily see the blue eyes and white bangs that framed her face despite the raven black hair,"Who ever your master is, I could careless, but seriously, stealin from the hard working people- More so humans- is trouble you shouldn't cause."

((I will just pretend you know that Sogno is female and Incubo is male))
Sogno puffed her cheeks at the woman like a little brat as Incubo was already going back to pay for the fish.
"Hm! Well it just so happened that it's the daytime and not night. When it's night, no one can grab us that easily. We can meld in the shadows better than any other creature." She tried to act important as she was the one currently being handled by the bartender.
"Just be happy my brother is a buzz kill and likes to play it safe just like Master. But know this! I will not let you off easily! When you least suspect it, I will scare you to death!" Acting so tough for a lesser being as herself...she was both stupid but brave. Her brother on the other hand returned after giving the rightful money for the fish.
"You know, while you have Sogno up there...would you mind helping us find this address for a 'bakery'? Our master ordered something called... 'Brownie'." Incubo handed the paper with the address.
"Brother! Don't ask for help!" Sogno continued to flail around like a cat, only making her tired. Incubo was unsure what to do.
"I think it's best if you calm down Sis...otherwise Master might come to punish you." They keep talking about a master and yet the two are so new. Sogno shifted back to her human like form with her pout still in place.
"Fine. But only because I do not want Master to know about out little fun."

(( Excuse me for mixing up the name of characters I just met.))
"Sorry, I am the kind that welcomes death," she chuckled, letting the young thing flail and struggle and try to intimidate her,"Well, you can try to get me when I am in the dark I guess, Kiddo, but you are no one right now, just a youkai antagonizing the humans. Hn--?"
The bartender looked down at Incubo, taking the paper in her free hand, her expression was curious as she read the direction. "Ah Yeah, this ain't far from my place. It wouldn't take me much to take you two there, if this is what you need to go home, I'd be willing to." At last the catish-girl hanged limply in her grasp.
"But you. You need to promise to behave. I have enough rumors citcling meto add another of arsonist or somethin' like that," The bartender said lifting her up to her eyes again, before suddenly dropping her. "Right-o, what's you two's name anyway? I need to call you something than kiddo and troublemaker."

"I am Incubo, and my sister is Sogno." Incubo stated as they followed the tall bartender. They looked nearly identical besides their hair length, eye color and their clothing. Sogno kept quiet through the trip, angry at Incubo for breaking the fun.
"Our master told us that before we were here, he had friends pick his order up for him at times. I am guessing he is far too powerful to be here?" Incubo said.
"It's not that Brother, Master is just too epic to show himself to mere mortals." She looked around, eyeing the humans and some youkai in the area.
"Anyways Miss, what's your name? and...what is a brownie exactly?" Incubo asked. Sogno on the other hand walked beside her brother as she looked at the booths.

"Incubo and Sogno, sounds foreigner," the bartender nodded at them as she led them along the village easily with her hands in her pockets. She said little more then a scoff, "I know quite a bunch of Powerful folk, and they step around here. If its a youkai, he isn't epic or powerful, just reserved. Some youkai rather not deal with the humans; some are scared of humans, other annoyed, and others rather not have the temptation of having a nice walking snack."
The tall woman looked over her shoulder at Sogno,"My name? ... They know me around here as Hinarasu Ibara, local bartender at Club Youkai, but some people know me as the creeper in the bar or that weird woman, and- Well you get the hang of it, kiddos." Ibara snickered at the question,"The brownie is a chocolate pastry, soft and the like, it has chocolate chips or other things like that." The woman shrugged,"They taste pretty good, I guess."

Hearing the idea of chocolate sent Sogno's eyes in a glow.
"A pastry made out of pure chocolate?!" While her brother sighed at her reaction.
Soon enough as they entered the bakery, Incubo took the small package in hand as Sogno was trying to claw at it.
"Stop it sis!" He demanded.
"But It smells so good! You don't know how much I crave that stuff!" She cried like a brat over a meaningless toy. Incubo still managed to hold onto it without trouble.
"A-anyways Miss Ibara. I appreciate you helping us and I will do my best to control my sister- hey!" Sogno already took off without the two into the city once more.
"Damn. Sogno ran off again...Think you can help me find my sister?"
Sogno gave the two the slip, roaming around the town like a little kid before stopping at the center once more. There she noticed a group of kids playing with a ball. Sogno made sure to keep her identity of a youkai hidden as she approached them to play. The ball rolled to her feet.
"Hey pass it here!" one kid called out. Sogno picked the ball up and tossed it over to them as it landed in the boy's arms with ease...
When the kids looked at the ball, it turned into an eye then chomping teeth. They ran and scattered from the ball as Sogno tilted her head in confusion. She picked the ball up an inspected it.
"Why are they scared of me?" She wondered. She stood there in the center with her hands on the ball as if waiting for someone.

"I told her not to go causing me trouble-!" Ibara sighed,having just thought of buying the girl a brownie to calm her down and maybe relax her a bit. She crossed her arms under her chest disgruntled,"Come on then! We better find her she runs into trouble, Incubo."
The tall and perhaps a bit intimidating bartender walked out of the bakery grumbling about how this is why she never dealt with kids and what not. "Any idea where she would have gone?"

Incubo shook his head.
"I just hope my sister is okay." he started to run off to look for his sister, even asking some of the humans if they saw a girl that looked a bit like him. Like always they did not pay attention to her or even seen her at all. For Incubo, this was trouble.
"If Nahumar-Sama finds out that Sogno is in trouble, he would punish both of us." Incubo said as he ran around.
Sogno on the other hand sat on the fountain as she continued to look at the ball. She could not tell what emotions she was having at that time. She seemed sad but also confused as well. As she put the ball beside her on the seat, she shifted into the cat once more, curling up to watch the people walk by.
"I can't remember what master told me about a friend he knew in the village."

Ibara sighed, rubbing the back of her head and walked after Incubo, hands in pockets but her blue eyes piercing. While the young youkai ran around, she looked about, catching the sight of a lump of black fur. Silently, Ibara walked over to it, crouching before it.
She did not say anything, and instead digging into her pocket and pulling a small bite size piece of chocolate still in its wrapping, placing it before the cat. "Come on, your brother is worried for you, Sogno."

Sogno looked up at Ibara and shifted back.
"I know he is worried. My brother can be such a pansy at times." She shook off any trace of sadness from her at all when she held the chocolate in her hands.
"I like to do this from time to time because it's funny." She gave the same grin as before. Sogno hopped onto her feet and stood beside Ibara. She looked at the chocolate and thought of a question.
"Ibara? Is there anything scary about that ball?" She pointed to the ball on the fountain. Of course with the far difference of age and power, the ball would have no illusion on it to even be frightening.
"When i threw it back at some kids, they ran from it like it was going to kill them."
She was like a kid. Innocent and blind when her power is used. Incubo on the other hand would find the two later on after a small talk between them.

"I see, well, its because he cares." Ibara muttered, standing to tower over Sogno, and looked as she looked so contently to her piece of candy. "The ball you say?" The bartender went and picked up the ball with a hand holding up to her inspection, rolling it in her hands absently,"Nope. Seems like a rather nice toy if you ask me! Why, it reminds me a lot to the ball I used to play with in the Underground with Ha--" She seemed to cringe at her own thought and stop, walking to hand Sogno the ball.
"The ball looks fine to me."

"Hmm?" Sogno was interested in the story before she cut herself off.
"Oh? What about the Underground?" Sogno was about to ask but Incubo found them.
"Sogno!" Incubo ran up to her with a smile of relief.
"Don't ever run off like that!" Incubo said as Sogno simply had a mischiefious grin.
"Oh please, I am always fine. Besides, don't we have to get that box back to our master?" Sogno reminded Incubo as he took the time to step out of the gates with it for but a moment.
"There is another place I wish to go. Master told us of a certain friend that lives here. He never told us her name but said that she was a teacher. Do you know who he is talking about?" Sogno looked like any helpless kitten with those eyes of hers.
Incubo would return shortly after without the box. Pretty fast for one who was new in the world.
"So where to next?"
