I awoke the next morning to the realization that what happened it wasn't a dream in my tormented mind… it was reality. I stretched yawning pulling my arms above my head my back and joints popping softly. I fell back into the soft bed and looked around the now dimly lit room due to the sunlight entering through a few cracks and holes in the rocky walls. What I thought was a bed was actually a pile of blankets and pillows and the room was rather small a small table in the opposite corner, and various weapons littering the surface. I looked over at the slumbering form in the corner of the room. "Dante you were more than a dream?" I thought smiling to myself his face serene and calm even though he looked to be in a rather uncomfortable position surely he would have a pain in his neck when he woke up. As the realization that this place was real hit me so did the fact that what I had done last night… I had actually done it. I grimaced and went wide eyed as I realized that I had killed the man drank his blood and thrown him aside "like…. An animal" I thought disgusted at myself yet I felt rather at ease with it the more and more I thought about his blood running down my throat like water. To my mortification feeling became more and more enjoyable by the second. "What the hell am I?" I thought slightly scared at what the answer would be. I felt a morning breeze caress my stomach as I enjoyed the cool refreshment. I looked down at the jacket, which was slightly open, my pale stomach rising and falling with each breath. "Good Morning" I heard Dante say from his corner his eyes watching my intently but also curiously. I tilted my head back to look at him and smiled slightly " G' morning" I replied letting my head fall back into place staring at the rocks above me. "Would you like me to answer your questions from last night?" he asked me watching me even though I wasn't looking at him. "I believe I would like that but…. I am almost scared of what I will learn," I said my voice edged with a little dread. " We are in Zorso" he calmly started "Lucious has sent me to fetch you… you are going to be a legionnaire." He said acting like I actually knew what he was talking about. "Wait" I stopped him putting my arms behind my head still looking up at the ceiling "Zorso… I have never heard of it and what it a legionnaire?" I asked genuinely curious at all these words and what they meant. "What do you mean you don't know what a legionnaire is? And how could you not know where Zorso is?" he asked amazed at my ignorance. " I awake to a world I have never seen before and you expect me to know this?" I asked sarcastically cocking an eyebrow. " What year is it?" I asked watching as a bug crawled along the ceiling. He looked at me curiously and said "The year 5010" he said answering my question. " I always thought that technology would advance in the future…. I never thought that the world would come to this." I said which gave me another question. " How did this happen?" I asked. "What time are you from?" Dante asked his voice stunned "2004" I answered indifferently waiting for my question to be answered. "Legionnaires are never brought back after being deceased for so long." He said getting up my ears hearing the rustling. " Yes. But what is a legionnaire?" I asked my eyes following him as he walked over to a table and picked up something. " We are beings who were once dead, but were brought back to fight for the gods" He said pausing " Our bodies are brought back with the powers of the gods but we are infused with demonic and vampyric powers." He finished walking over to me throwing me a bundle of clothes. "Thanks" I said holding them in my lap. "What powers are we talking about?" I asked my voice peaked a little with interest. He sat back down facing the wall to allow me to change " It just matters how you died" he said "but no one can be sure until you try them out for the first time." He said. I let his coat fall off my shoulders and quickly slipped a Black sweater over my head. It was way to big but comfortable. "Who are we fighting?" I asked standing up to put a pair of pants on. " Sesshoumaru… He is a dangerous demi-god who has lost his soul and is out to kill the gods and destroy what's left on the earth" He answered his voice solemn as he spoke " And the scary thing is… he has the power to do so" he finished with a sad tone in his voice. I slipped a pair of Navy blue pants on and threw Dante the coat. He caught it and turned around to look at me. " So then if he can kill the gods then why do they even bother with legionnaires?" I asked sitting back down pulling my knees to my chest. " There is a legend that one day the gods will resurrect the one… The one who will stop his rampage, how that is going to be achieved I do not know… We do manage to hold him off though" his yellow eyes and chiseled face watching me " How did he loose his soul?" I asked looking up at him " and why don't the gods give us their powers as well?" He looked at me a few minutes obviously thinking. " Sesshoumaru was once a legionnaire himself…. If we, the males, don't find our soul mates in life…. Darkness over takes us… we no longer feel or see color… we just exist until the darkness steals you insanity… eats away your very soul" he said his eyes sad as well as his look and voice. I looked at him trying to search his eyes " Have…. Have you found yours?" I asked hesitantly wishing the instant I asked the question that I hadn't. " No" he said quietly not meeting my eyes " You will," I said not quite sure why I felt the need to comfort him " I hope its before its to late" he answered solemnly. Feeling the need to quickly change this subject I shouldn't have brought up. I asked, "Who is this Lucious?" I asked wishing the sadness would leave his aura that I strangely sensed. " He is the leader of the Legionnaires only second to the gods themselves." He said equally glad to be off the latter subject. "Then why doesn't he kill Sesshoumaru?" I asked curious " He…. Is a specter… a mere soul of the man he used to be…. His powers are mighty but not deadly… He holds the powers of our lives, and can see what lies ahead." He answered me the sun glinting off one of his boots as it moved across the room as the day went on. " Why did they bring me back… the gods I mean?" I asked getting up to stretch my legs and back. " No one knows the reasons they bring who they do… just that we will play a part somehow… Every consequence has an action," He said watching me intently as I stretched my arms over my head my back popping in response. ' I still can't see… I am still numb…. Maybe if I give it time…Maybe she will be the one.' he thought disappointed. " When can we go out and takes my powers for a spin?" I asked choosing to stay standing my body still facing him. " Nightfall" he answered simply shifting himself uncomfortably on the earth floor. " You know you don't have to sit there." I said rather indifferently " It must be uncomfortable… I won't bite…. Again" I added smiling at him. Returning my smile he got up " I didn't want to get slapped or anything" he said walking towards me avoiding the sunlight. " O I wouldn't have done that… I would've decked you," I said playfully watching as he lay down on the blankets and pillows stretching himself putting his arms over his head " Much better" he said yawning. I sat down beside him on the soft materials looking down at him "Why can't we go now?" I asked anxiously "Sunlight is no more our ally… We will burn up with in minutes," He said closing his eyes. I looked sadly at the sunbeams coming through the dirty cracks in the walls. "That's the way it is kid," he said sensing my sadness. "How did you know what I was feeling?" I asked " Demonic trait… we can sense auras… The more you use it the more acute it will get but you probably can sense a little now" he said his breathing growing softer and softer 'I can sense him sleeping more than just his breath, but his mind is calm and still' I thought looking down at him. " You better rest as well kid," he said relaxing his body against the pillows. "I never asked your name," I said lying down beside him. "Dante" he said opening his eyes to watch me "Suki" I said meeting his gaze before rolling over on my side to face away from him. "Sleep well" I said to him closing my eyes letting my body drift off the sleep. He grunted before I felt him turn on his side facing away from me as well.

It seems that the Legionnaires have required another body to their cause Lord Sesshoumau," said a man with whitish silver hair and deep Brown eyes. He was dressed in peasant's clothes his head diverted towards the ground and his eyes looking at the ground as well. A deep Voice reverberated off the walls of the dark castle like room the man was in. " Why they continually send these bodies in front of me just to die again?" A deep manly voice asked the voice coming from a shadowed area. The Torches along the walls casted the shadows over him in an eerie glow. The man who had fist addressed this entity kept his head held low not attempting to converse. "Well no matter I will look into it soon enough… Those legionnaires pose no threat to me" He paused "They are just annoying bugs… Who shall soon be crushed" he finished. "You may go Louis" said the figure. "Yes my lord" he said stepping out of the room "It is time for my feed" Sesshoumaru said walking out of the room into the now shadowy night.
