Chapter 5: The Slayers and the Hunters

Speeding through the forest with a sleeping Hiei cradled close to her chest Blade was deep in thought.

`I wonder how the others will take my new mate?' Blade worried, which was very unlike her. Her worries were eased momentarily when she glanced at the sleeping face of her love. Then her worries were back when she stopped in a clearing.

Sensing his love's sudden stop Hiei jerked awake. He looked up at the face of the beautiful Ryu… wait. Blades face showed something between pain, amazement, disbelief, and…fear? He turned his head in the direction she was looking and gasped. An enormous fire was engulfing most of what would have been a gorgeous medieval style castle.

A sudden inhuman scream tore from Blade's lips. Hiei covered his ears, the mournful cry held too much pain. Hiei hopped out of his loves arms. Blade spread her amazing wings and rapidly flew off towards the fire screaming "BROTHER!"

/She has a brother? / Hiei thought in amazement.

Then he saw Blade fly straight into the fire.

"BLADE!" Hiei screamed and dashed off towards the raging inferno.

Then Blade swooped out of the fire carrying a smaller singed form. She landed a good distance away from the fire and knelt down; placing the form on the ground, then flew back into the blaze.

Hiei rushed over to inspect the figure lying on the ground. As he knelt down Blade swooped over and laid another barely-alive body beside the first.

"Keep them safe at all costs." Blade mumbled to Hiei as she flew off again.

The first one was that of a white Ryu. Judging from the anatomy and its topless state, it was a male, most likely Blade's brother.

/ But Blade is black./ Thought Hiei, / so why is he white? His hair is even white./

Then he shuffled over to the second figure. This one was a female Yoko. ( YK: guess who it is!) She had dark blue bangs and the rest of her mussed, waist length hair was a lighter blue. She was singed and cut, like the white Ryu. Her fluffy blue tail was missing fur in places.

Blade returned with another body, set it down, and quickly flew off again. This one appeared to be a Snow Leopard demon. It was female and had a long white tail with black spots. Her ears were spotted too. She had black hair and was of slender build like the Yoko.

Blade returned with two more bodies and finally stopped. She set them down beside the others and rushed over to the white Ryu. The two she set down were a slim male wolf demon and a strange winged boy.

"Tearon!" Hiei heard Blade whisper to the white Ryu, "Tearon it's sis! Please wake up!" When the white Ryu didn't move blade began chanting a spell. "Mumyo jinpo ryukin, satsu leeno talersin, nexxus wenthow nento lai!" She spread her arms and a healing energy radiated off her very being. It soaked into the bodies of the injured demons and disappeared. Blade slumped over the body of her brother.

"Blade! What did you do?" Hiei asked as he rushed over to his lover, "Who are these demons?"

Blade's head raised her head and the vicious glint in her eye caused Hiei to recoil slightly, then he gathered himself together stepped in front of Blade and grabbed her shoulders. "Talk onna."

Blade let out an animalistic snarl before answering, "The Hunters were here. We are the Slayers, sworn enemies to the Hunters."

"Slayers? Hunters?"

"The Slayers are the most elite assassin teams. The Hunters are those who seek to destroy us Slayers. This is my team." She motioned to the now stirring team of demons.

The white Ryu propped himself up on his elbows. "Unh. What…happened?"

The Snow Panther demon hopped up onto all fours, "I am now officially confused…"

The wolf demon stood up and shook himself off, "Damn those hunters! Fucking spineless cowards." He snarled.

Then the winged boy stood up. He stretched his large black feathered wings and stared at Hiei intently. "Blade, who is he?"

Then the Yoko staggered up to Blade. "Blade, you've got some explaining to do."
