Reaper eyes this shadow being still gripping his scythe. He would be a fool to trust someone that lived in the shadows like himself. Hell, he didn't trust himself. He felt like he didn't belong in the body he was in. It felt dirty and uncomfortable.

"I'm not like most people."

"I can see that."

Moloch comes out of the shadows to meet Reaper face to face other hiding from him with a smile. Moloch was a handsome man with black slicked hair. He was in a three piece suit. His black eyes glistened with chaos. Moloch bows to Reaper showing off his charm. Reaper's eye twitched. It was almost like it was telling him of a hidden memory of him hating people that overdressed for an event and had the balls to show it off.

"I am Moloch."

What does the demon that wants child sacrifices want with me?"

Moloch laughs at Reaper. He was impressed with his demonology.

"You're a fast one to catch on, but no I'm not that pathetic use of a demon. I go by many names, and I change my name every century

to keep people guessing who I am. One can never be too careful. Plus, it keeps my 'friends' on their toes and guessing who I am."

Reaper puts away his scythe by letting it sank into his body. Reaper crosses his arms being weary of Moloch.

"What do you want from me, 'Moloch'?"

Ah! Getting right to the point! I knew I would like you! Anyways I got a proposition for-"

Reaper starts to walk away and interrupts him. He wanted nothing to do what Moloch had to offer him.

"Not interested."

Reaper continues to walk the opposite direction from Moloch. Moloch appears in front of Reaper in a black flame. Reaper stopped in his tracks and stared at Moloch.

"So, you don't want your old life back?"

"I had no other life. I was created."

Moloch gave Reaper a cheeky smile. He teased Reaper a little knowing that wasn't the truth even though his memories were hidden from him.

"Were you now? Are you sure that you were or did someone tell you?"

"Calypso told me..."

Moloch's smile grew wider. That's a name Moloch was very familiar with even though Reaper doesn't know it just yet. Moloch continued to play coy with Reaper.

"Well, he's half correct."

Reaper crosses his arms and stares at Moloch. He wonders what Moloch was talking about. He was was getting tired of this game that Moloch was playing with him.

"oh, nothing to say? Well, he did 'create' you but didn't 'create' you. You were once called 'Asher Jacobson'."

Reaper uncrosses his arms and was in shock when he heard his real name. He could hear his heart pulsate all over his body. It felt like it was about to burst out of his chest. He grasp his chest trying to calm himself. His head was pounding as well. His memories flooded back into his mind. The power that was blocking his memories shattered as he regains his memory. He looks at his hands and body. He feels his helmet and scar. He looks at Moloch as his body was shaking from the experience. Moloch gave Reaper another cheeky smile.

"I see that you remember."

"What did I become?"

Moloch twirled a strand of his hair with his index finger. He was enjoying this exchange. He loved this little power play he had over Reaper.

"A minion of the darkness, but I see that it was a mistake in telling you who you really are. What I see now, you wouldn't be useful to be. So, I'm going to suppress your memories again."

"No! Don't!"

Reaper protested. He just got his memories back. He didn't want to lose them so soon. Moloch grabs Reaper's head. His hand burns a black flame as Reaper's memories gets suppressed. Reraper yells out in pain as he slowly loses most of his memories yet again. Reaper kicks Naraku away from him after his memories were suppressed.

"Don't do that again..."

"Now, there's a tiny favor I need of you."

"Fine... What is it?"

Moloch rubs his hands together. He loves it when people just gave what he wanted. He creates a black crystal ball. He waves his hand over it as It portraits what he tells Reaper what he wants from him.

"You see, your 'creator' was suppose to do me a small favor and in return he would be given power as Heart of Darkness."

The crystal ball shows Moloch and Calypso talking to one another. Calypso looked the same as he nods. Moloch smiled at Calypso and gestures towards him. A black flame shoots out from his hands and engulfs Calypso's body. Calypso was cackling like a maniac as he slowly transforms into Heart of Darkness. Reaper spat at the ground seeing Calypso's transformation.

"And he decided not to listen to you?"

"I'm getting to that. So, he decided to go rogue on me so I cannot get to him."

Reaper stared at him as he pointed in the direction where Calypso is. It was no secret where Calypso was. Did Moloch not know this?

"He's always at his building."

Reaper tells Moloch. Moloch just shook his head and shrugged. He already knew that much.

"Location isn't but is a problem. He created this barrier that repels me. I guess you can call it a 'holy barrier'."

"And you want me to drag his ass out of the tower?"

Moloch waved Reaper off. That would be too easy. He wanted Calypso weakened first.

"Nah, just nearly kill him, and he'll be weak enough for me to get to him. So, do we have a deal?"

Moloch stretches out his hand waiting for Reaper to shake it. Reaper looks at the hand and then back at Moloch. Reaper wasn't a fan of deals that only benefit one side.

"The deal is one sided. there's no benefit for me."

Moloch smiled coyly. He knew what Reaper wanted or thought he knew what Reaper wanted.

"I'll give you your memories back. Wasn't that what want? Freedom from this curse upon you?"

"No... I want you to kill my old self. I never want to be him again..."

This was somewhat a shock to Moloch, he didn't think Reaper would want something like that. Moloch gave Reaper an evil smile. That was something he could do. He would rather have Reaper in this demonic form so he can use him later.

"Deal!"

Reaper shakes Moloch's hand. Moloch bursts into a black flame and disappears while laughing. Reaper wipes the char off his hand. His hand had a mark that looked like an upside down cross with pair of bat wings and a spaded tail wrapped around the cross. Reaper looks at the mark for a second before he covers himself with his cape. He jumps on top of a building and looks up at Calypso's building. His eyes burn a purple flame as his scar glows purple as well. They were burning with rage and hatred for that thing called "Calypso".

"Calypso... Your days are numbered. You will die soon, very soon..."
