Chapter Two
Disclaimer and Author's Note: Ehm. Here's the second chapter, and I wanted to point out that this whole VAMPIRE issue didn't arise from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In fact, I've never even seen an episode of that show (sad ne? I mostly stick to anime) Really, the Vampire idea came to me when my friend and I were talking about love/hate relationships and instances where to enemies fell in love. And thus, I began looking for a good couple to use that idea with. And I thought, well, why not the Rayearth characters? Another thought also came to me, about pairings. Just to tell you right now… Ferio/Fuu, Lantis/Hikaru, and for Umi, I'm having this fic have alternate endings because you know there is such a split issue over the whole Clef or Ascot thing. So I'll tell you when the point is when the fanfic splits into its two alternative endings. Really, this is my first Rayearth fic, so I have NO IDEA how well I'm doing. Do you people really like it? One more thing, about the wooden weapons issue. I had the weapons be wooden because they are vampire slayers and well; to kill a vampire you drive a wooden stake through their heart (or at least that's what I've heard) that's why I had the wooden weapons. Ok, this speaking session is getting really long so I'll just start on the story now. Ja ne and Enjoy!
Ferio spread out his silky bat wings and stared out into the night. It would only be a few more hours until the sun rose over the horizon and he would be forced to go into slumber. Hunger jabbed him in the stomach; he had forgotten all about eating since his mind was occupied with different possibilities could have been bothering Clef. He heard the rustling of another set of wings and turned around to see Lantis carrying two drinks. Lantis walked towards him and handed him one.
Ferio smiled and answered jokingly, "Are you sure this isn't poisoned?"
Lantis winced, "You'll just have to try and see won't you?" Ferio snickered and put the drink up to his lips. It was rather refreshing to have something to drink since he hadn't had time to go out that night and find any victims. Yet he didn't know why he was still so worried about what was getting to Clef, besides he had always seemed so relaxed and worry free before.
"Something's bothering you," Lantis said plainly.
"Not at all," Ferio lied.
Lantis bowed and walked away probably to prepare to sleep. Ferio merely sighed and stared at the stars; he shouldn't be worried. No, everything would be fine; the vampire race was much stronger than the human race.

Though it was still night, the three vampire slayers had already set out on their journey to cross the mountains that stood between them and vampire territory.
"I know crossing the mountains is the only way, but why do we have to go in the middle of the night?!" Umi whined.
"An early start is the best," Fuu answered, "and besides it will be dawn soon."
Umi sighed, she had gotten used to losing sleep over long Vampire Hunts.
"There they are!" Hikaru exclaimed pointing to the mountains ahead of them, "after we cross those mountains we'll be in Vampire territory and we'll be able to look for the palace." The mountains seemed like oversized monsters with their heads in the clouds. The moonlight shed its pallid light upon on them making them look even more unwelcoming.
"But no one's ever actually been exploring the vampire territory and in all our other hunts the vampires were hiding among the humans," Fuu added in, "it's uncharted territory and the only thing we know about this prince is that he lives in a castle somewhere among that territory."
"Great, more proof that this mission is going to be a failure," Umi took a deep breath.
"Oh come on Umi; we can do anything!" Hirkaru uplifted her two friends. Presently, they began to climb up the mountain. The ground at the base wasn't too steep, which was good. All around them were tall coniferous trees blocking the moon and starlight. Darkness seemed to envelope them and the three slayers had to huddle closer in order not to lose one of them from the rest of the group.
"Don't worry," Fuu reassured, "soon enough the sun will rise and we'll be able to get some light."

"Aren't you going to be getting some sleep?" Clef asked walking into the throne room one last time before he went to catch up on some sleep. The sky was getting lighter as the sun was about to rise.
"Yeah, I'm coming," Ferio answered turning his gaze away from the sky and making his way to his resting room. His room was quite a pleasant place with stonewalls and silky black drapery. All around the walls were suits of armor and assorted weaponry. The left corner was his resting place; there was a black marble coffin with white silk cushions inside. Ferio pushed back his deep green hair and situated himself inside the coffin to sleep. He pulled the coffin lid over his head just about when the first rays of the sun came over the horizon.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<& lt;<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ;<<<<<<<<<
"Oh look the sun is rising!" Hikaru declared to the two other exhausted slayers. They had been scaling the mountain for quite awhile now and as the ground grew steeper climbing up became even harder. The sunlight was welcoming though, for it lighted their path so that they were no longer wandering in the dark. Hikaru began to skip up the mountain in a very cheery manner.
"Be careful Miss…" but before Fuu could finish Hikaru had tripped over a root and came tumbling down onto the rest of them. The three girls tumbled down pretty far before they were able to stop.
"Great! Now we have to climb that all over again!" Umi shouted angrily looking up to see that they had tumbled down about a several hours worth of scaling.
Hikaru blushed, "I'm really sorry you guys."
"It's ok," Fuu smiled, "Everything has a reason for happening, I'm sure this does too." Umi had already gotten up and was trying to clean her beautiful light blue hair of the twigs it had collected. Fuu and Hikaru stood up as well.
"Well, looks like we're going to have a long day ahead of us," Fuu declared. The other two sighed and once again they started to scale the mountain.
I wonder why I made this so short when I first wrote this.... I actually have the next few chapters done, but I'm rather lazy and need to be nagged along. (not really, I'll get them up.)
