(WARNING) This isn't a happy fanfic, so there will be moments of extreme violates and disturbing stuff in this fanfic. Just letting you know, so you don't get mad at me later for this one. Oh yeah, this story takes place in the manga not the OAV series, so there will be quiet a few differences.

Disclaimer: These characters don't belong to me, they belong to the maker of Sorcerer Hunters, and I'm just borrowing them. I'm not making any money from this, and I don't have a dollar to my name, so please don't sue me.

Darkness within

By Carrot Trainer

(A.k.a. Dragon Trainer)

It all begins at the end of another mission for the Sorcerer Hunters; Carrot in his serpent form thrashes hard against the rocks after swallowing his foe whole at Crossroad Canyon. Gateau and Marron stands behind him at the top of the canyon, while Tira lick her lips and Chocolat licks her string hungrily at the base of the canyon.

"Oh I love it when he turns snake." Tira chuckles.

"Come here Darling, and let me show you how we deal with snakes." Chocolat purred as she approached it. Neither was afraid of this form, but both realized the danger in it. Unlike some of his other forms, the snake doesn't fear them, and would attack if given the chance. Slowly they both ready themselves for what they were about to do, and then with one quick movement they both charge the large reptile.

The serpent hearing their movements turn to attack, but the girls are too swift for him as they jump out of the way of its crushing coils and gapping mouth. Then the twin strings strike Carrot again and again as he attacks one and misses and attack the other and misses. Soon the snake is too beat up and too tired to do much more damage, and Tira throws out her red cape coving nothing more than the top of the snake's head. Marron seeing this quickly throws his ofuda onto the cloak, and in a flash of light, the serpent was returned to its human form.

The battle was over, and once more the Sorcerers Hunters had defeated the evil magic abuser as Tira retrieved the black ofuda and crumpled it up until it turned into a small snake doll, and Marron and Gateau comes down to join them. While Chocolat stares at her unconscious Darling laying nude in a very show all position.

"Wow!" "That pretty good," Chocolat replies, while Tira blushes when she notices what her sister was talking about. Marron then uses a spell to re-clothes his brother, as Gateau moves beside the beautiful man.

"Wow, neat trick can you make clothes disappear too?" Gateau smiles as Marron moves away. Gateau then shrugged his shoulders and move on to his next victim, Tira. "Hey Tira can you do any neat tricks?"

Before Tira even got a chance to reply to that question, Carrot screams loudly. Then his body spasms once and he lays still.

"Brother?" Marron replies softly as he stares at his still form. Chocolat totally confused drops to his side, while Tira just stands there staring, with Gateau beside her. In a few moments what had just happen sinks in, and she drops to her knees with tears running down her face. Her sister then confirms Tira suspicion as pain etches itself across Chocolat features and tears roll down her face as well.

" Darling."

Come the world of light, with darkness within

A world of darkness come, surrounded by light

Rise of the darkness, balance is gone

Receding of the light, balance is gone

Over light darkness come

The balance is gone; the balance is gone
