Anyone with a certain bond to a spirit can be considered a "Spirit Tamer."
And it's a well-known fact that the spirit will share some of the features with its Tamer once it has grown a bond with the human. Of course, there are levels of strength even in Spirits.
Some called Angels, Devils, Ravages, etc.
Devils specifically share a strong malevolent bond. To tame a Devil, there's a secret.
A human must share the same malevolent presence as the Devil itself.
The children of the Devil Sect do not simply qualify for these bonds. They might be more malignant than the Devils themselves.

Wavering her fluffy tail, Nami steps through the corridors of the long building where two of her family members live.
Thud! Thud!
A loud thudding noise can be heard in the distance where her cousin's room is.
"Ah~ yeah, Hebi~" Moans fill the air as she steps closer to the room.
Her eyebrows furrow and a worrisome look comes over her face. With a gulp, she stands before the wooden doors that separate her from her brother's chamber.
Thud!
The shadows inside the room are traced against the wooden sliding doors of the chambers.
A snake-like shadow wraps around the silhouette of a young man, pressing him against the wooden door. Beyond the lower body of the snake is a woman's upper half, which is embracing the young man and engaging in a passionate kiss with him.
"Mmm~ You're always so good at this," Hebi's voice replies, sending chills down Nami's spine.
Hisss~
The slithering sound of the scales of the snake's body resounds beside that door. "Yeah, and you always go so deep in me~"
Nami closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. She steps forth and knocks on the door gently.
"Um, cousin Hebi?"
The snake woman thuds against the wooden door faster, letting out a deafening moan.
"AH~~"
Nami closes one eye, removing her hand from the wooden door. 'Oh God, how is he doing that spirit?'
"Did I just hear a knock?" The snake spirit, Zuru, asks on the other side of that door. Nami sighs, forfeiting her knocking.
"Yes, Zuru and Hebi. It's Nami. Can you please open the door?"
"Should've called out for us a bit louder, don't you think Nami?" Hebi replies, sliding open the door right away.
Before Nami stands the naked Hebi with his slim body. Around his entire lower body, Zuru's silver snake tail is wrapped. Zuru is lying on Hebi's back, hanging her shoulders down to his chest.
Nami gazes at the snake woman as she smirks at her. Her tongue slips up Hebi's cheek, leaving a trail of sticky saliva on the spot.
"What?" Hebi asks, raising his eyebrow. "Aren't you going to fucking tell me why you're here?"
Alerted, Nami quickly sputters it out. "B - b - big brother told you to come and join him at the training grounds underground!"
She bows to her cousin and quickly turns around. "Excuse me, Hebi!"
As the sister hurries out of Hebi's way, he stares into the blank spot where her sister stood moments ago. "What's her problem?"
"She's probably just jealous of us," Zuru replies, sliding the door shut. "Come here, dear husband. I need to finish you off."
Thud! Thud!
"Mmmph~ slow it, sweetie!"

'Oh God, they are crazy,' Nami thinks as she walks away from the corridor to the other end. This is where her twin cousins live.
Non-identical twins.
She knocks on their room. Then, she waits for the reply.
"Come in, Nami." A male's voice calls out to her from the other side of the door.
Without even seeing her, the Twins can tell that it is her in front of that door. They have a precise perception of aura. After all, the devil these two possess is the Devil of Perfection.
Nami slides the door open and enters the chambers of the Twins.
The TV is on and a movie is playing on the screen. The two Twins are lying on the bed, the female Twin with black hair and a sexy body lying on top of the male twin with white hair and silver eyes. They both look alike, despite a few changes in hair and eyes.
"Mm, early in the morning, Nami?" The female Twin, Mai, asks Nami.
The twins are both wearing loose robes. Ai pulls out his hand from the lower part of Mai's robes which hides the secret garden between her legs. Then, he licks his hand.
'Why do all of them have to do this in front of me?' Nami wonders, forcing herself to smile as her eye twitches.
"Indeed, Nami. What is it that brings you here?" Ai adds to the question, sitting up in the bed. "It's not very good to disturb your elders."
"It's big brother, brother Ai. He wants you to join him on the training grounds. You know what he's asking for."
Ai and Mai share suspicious gazes with each other.
"Oh, is that so?" Mai sits up in her brother's lap. "We shall meet you there soon," she nods in agreement.
Of course, she accepts. No one crosses Brother Takehiko.
Bowing to these two, Nami takes her leave from the chambers.
'Only big sister and little bro Ghost to go now.'
Swish! She slides the door shut.
***
Little brother Ghost. He is the youngest among the Devil Family members in the sect.
He may be the least weird one in the sect. Or the worst.
His chambers are not built near the other chambers. He lives in the family grave where all the ghosts reside.
Nami saunters through the graveyard built under gigantic Japanese maples. The leaves always cover the entire pavement, making it hardly visible for someone to step through.
Sweeping all this is Ghost's duty. Granny Momoko pays dearly for his work. Since he is just 15, the little boy cannot take on any commissions to battle off with spirits, no matter his skill.
"Little brother?" Nami calls out to him, standing outside his little shrine built in the middle of the grave.
The smell of sandalwood overtakes the entire surrounding area. 'He must be chanting rituals in there,' Nami ponders.
"Sister Nami?" The little 15-year-old boy exits the shrine, coming out to greet her. He's wearing a dark blue hoodie as always. He's an inch shorter than Nami, which always makes her feel proud. After all, she is the second shortest person in the sect. Alongside Hebi, who's exactly her height.
"Hey, little brother," Nami pats the young man on his head.
He smiles at her. His eyes are dark, looking as if they are sleep deprived. He's awake all night, after all, talking to his Ghost friends.
"What is it that you came here for, sister?" He asks, gazing up at her eyes.
"Oh, to inform you, of course. Big Brother Takehiko is gathering for a family meeting in the training grounds underground. Be sure to be there soon, will you?"
"Oh dear, it's big brother. Of course," Ghost bows to her. "If you excuse me, Sister. I was having a bit of a connection with a young ghost lady in the room. She tells me the sweetest stories. I shall see you at the family meeting!" He runs back inside his shrine and closes his door.
Inside, only a single light illuminates the room. He is certainly creepy, but he's not as bad as the others.
Or will he become one too? Nami ponders as she walks out of the graveyard.
'Now. Only my big sister is left.'
Stepping up through a white staircase, she walks up to the building at the far end of the sect. This is where the managing is done in the Devil Sect. As her big sister is the oldest of this sect, she has the position of managing all the Spirit Hunting commissions given to her.
She walks through a corridor as the sun rises over the distant mountains, shining upon the entire sect. Birds start to chirp. Morning arrives.
Soon, Granny Momoko will even ask them for breakfast.
Only at her sister's door, she doesn't knock. There's nothing that they hide from each other. She slides the door open and walks right into the office.
Inside, her sister lies in her seat, licking a framed photo.
Nami narrows her eyes. "What might you be doing there, sister?"
Soju is the opposite of Nami in height. She's almost as tall as Takehiko who is 6 '2 feet tall. She has enormous breasts and silvery eyes with long white hair. Even her butt is bigger than hers. Nami always felt jealous.
But Takehiko always says he loved them both equally.
"Nothing, nothing. Just cleaning this portrait of Take," she says, standing up from the seat and hanging the framed photo of Takehiko on the wall of her office. The wet mark of her tongue is etched into the glass where his face and his crotch are.
Nami stands at the doorway with thinned eyes. "Hmph~ is that so? Well, Big Brother asks you to join in the family meeting at the training grounds underground. Make sure you're not late, as always."
"Oh? He already told me in the morning," Soju smirks at her little sister.
"WHAT? But – you two shared secrets without me?" Nami's eyebrows furrow. "Did you?"
"Well, you're a sleepyhead. You were fast asleep. Both of us were up early in the morning, so we discussed it more."
"You! Betrayal!" Nami slams the door shut, stepping out of the office. 'I knew it… she's doing things to Big Bro without me. So unfair, that slut.' She curses from within, boiling with jealousy.
Nami is always so jealous of her sister. And Soju is always so fond of taunting her.
