Running out of Time
Chapter Two
xxxxx
Walking around the dense forest, she skipped around the trees and headed towards the lake. The sun has set so suddenly, she didn't know which way to go to get back to town. Reaching the lake, she walked around the water, tripping on roots sitting out of the ground.
Strumbleing on another root, she fell head first into the water and came back up screaming and failing her arms about, unable to touche the bottom of the lake, she started to freak out really bad. After a few minutes of pointless screaming, she gaged on some water that she sucked down her throat without meaning too and started to cough violently.
Out of nowhere, she was lifted clear out of the water and was thrust on someone's shoulder. The person walked smooth as silk across the terrian, where she, was tripping over her own two feet. She opened her mouth to yell, but the person bouced her on his/her's shoulder. She yelped and whimpered.
After a few more minutes, she felt the person pull on her legs and dropped her onto the ground. Landing with a thump, she whimpered again and rubbed her ass and looked up at the person who saved her from the water. Seeing the stranger's profile, she knew that it was a women. Someone who was more then likely the same age as she. With a simple nod, the stranger turned around and walked back into the woods.
She could see a faint outline of a pair of wings hanging from her back. Standing up, she brushed herself off, leaves where sicking to her ass like glue cause of the water, and turned around and was shocked to see the back yard of her home. She furrowed her brows in confusion and walked towards her house. She opened the door, and a blast of warm air caressed her cold cheeks and she sighed deeply.
A young man, three or four years younger then her, walked out of the livingroom and stopped and looked at her twice. "You okay Sango? You look like a half-drowned rat."
"Oh ha ha, that was so funny." Under her breath, she muttered, bastard. And headed off to her room. She walked up the stairs and opened the door and walked in and changed cloths. Getting dressed, she flooped down on the bed and ran her hand though her still wet hair. She got back up and walked over to the mirror and picked up a brush and started to brush out all the tangles out of her hair.

She was so confused why she helped that human in the water. Usually, when some one was caught out in her forest during the night, ended up as lunch. Kagome laughed bitterly and sat down next to the water. Actully, the human girl frightened her with all her screaming.
Here she was, minding her own business, when out of no where, a loud scream broke though the quiet night and gurgleing and splashing about. Kagome shook her head and sighed. Looking at herself in the water's surface, she touched her cheeks. They were still flushed from the... 'excitement' during her class. She never let her self go all out like that. But hey, the past is in the past, no point in beating herself up over it. But now that those hunters will be looking for her, she overheard it over the knews. That the person responsible for the deaths in the class still hasn't been found.
Other words, they wasn't able to find even a single drop of her blood. Stupid mistake on her part, and stubborness on their part. Thinking back to how she killed the other three girls, she chuckled darkly and relived the images as they flashed though her mind.
The one that she held by her knee against her back did manage to push Kagome back a few inches. Furious, Kagome dropped the two girls and flew around in a large circle. The roof was extremely high and it was connected to the gym. The only thing that kept the gym and the class apart, was a small door. Easily breakable.
Kagome flew right at the girl, who was straining against the door. She managed to get it open and ran into the gym. Kagome flew right at her and picked her up. Without much trouble, she flew up high in the gym and started to spin around in mid-air, holding onto the girl's ankle. With an evil chuckle, she let go of the leg and the girl flew right at the wall and made a nice little -squish!-
Flapping her wings to stay still in air, she was grinning at the blood spot on the wall and the carcess laying on the ground. Hearing a terrified scream, she blinked and looked down. The other two were raceing each other below to the door that would lead to the reast of the school.
Kagome flew at them, picked them up with ease and flew back up to the top of the gym. She dropped one, it wasn't high enough to kill, just high enough to break her legs. Hearing a nice crunch as both legs snapped, and the howl of agony. She got a good firm grip on the last one. Swooping down towards the basketball goals, at the top was a sharp looking spike, she slammed the girl onto the spike.
The spike ripped though her fat stomach and Kagome let go for a few minutes, roaring with evil laughter. She glided towards the girl, with the broken legs and picked her up by her legs. The girl screamed with pain. Kagome postioned her feet on the girl's arms and with a god thurst, ripped her in half. Getting splattered with blood, Kagome shrieked with glee and dived towards the last one.
She grabbed her arms, and pulled by beating her wings the other direction. She ripped the spike down her body and flew around the gym, spraying the entire area with her blood. She spun around and dropped her. There was one last boy still alive in the classroom. She wanted to save him for last.
She always wondered if he tasted as good as he looked. All she did was break both his legs. Landing on the floor, that was crimson from the blood, she slowly walked towards the room. Stepping though the door, she wipped the blood off her face and headed towards the cute little blonde boy near the back.
He saw her and whimpered in terror and pain. Kagome knelt down next to him and took his chin in her hand. Leaning down, she gently brushed her lips against his cheek and smiled with glee. He started to cry and bed for mercy.
Kagome chuckled to her self, and lifted the boy up and sank her fangs into his throat. Drinking greedily, she dropped him and headed back towards the gym. Stepping though the door, she saw a spark near her left. Turning her gaze over there, that's when she saw them. The hunters that was called.
They were looking around the gym, trying to find her. One of them looked up and their gaze met. His golden eyes against her burgundy. He was stunned breifly, until he shouted at her and the others turned and looked at her. They all pull guns on her, ready for the kill. There was no way she could fake that she was human.
For one, her wings were hanging at her back, and her fangs were still in their full length. And being covered in blood didn't help much either.
Looking around, she knew that she was trapped. There was no way out. Turning her eyes back to the hunters, they advanced on her and she backed up, for the first time in over two hundred years, fear clouded her judgement.
She shook her head and looked around her. She still hadn't retracked her wings yet and didn't want too. Looking back at the water, she touched the dried blood on her face. Sighing, she stripped down and folded her wings back into her back as they dissolved into her back.
All the blood that was one them, was replaced on her shoulders. She didn't know why they did that, but it was a hell lot easier keeping them clean that way. She also looked at her cloths. Sticking them on sticks, she set them in the water under the surface. That way, when the cloths became completely soaked, they wouldn't settle to the bottom of the lake. Walking towards the sallow part, she stepped into the water and shivered at it's warmth. With it being so warm during the nights and hot during the days, the water was basicly warm all the time. But tonight, it was pretty cold. She walked into the water until the water lapped gently at her waist.
Diving under, she swam a short distance and came back up. Rubbing her skin clean of the blood, she headed back towards the ground.
"So, does everybody come here to bath, or am I just lucky tonight?" a voice said suddenly. Kagome stopped short of the ground and turned towards the voice. Makeing no move to cover herself, she walked backwards into the water until it was touching her belly button. A shadow moved and she narrowed onto it as a man, cloaked in all black, walked out of the shadows. She could see him even when he was hiding in the darkness.
But, she didn't know that he was there. Cuseing to her self, she glared the man down. Shadows covered his features and the sky over head held no moon. She didn't know how he saw her, unless... She shook her head no, that was impossable. The man walked up to the edge of the water and crossed his arms across his chest.
"I thought I've seen you before." he said silently. Kagome, keeping her hand under the water's surface, allowed her claws to grow. In case he was a hunter, he wasn't gonna take her down by surprise. "Yes, matter of fact, I've seen you many times at that high school." He took a step closer. She narrowed her eyes in warning. The man chuckled darkly.
"So, since you know me, who the hell are you." Kagome snapped.
"Why my dear, you may call me Tsuyoku." The man said. He turned sideways and started to walk around the water. Kagome kept her eye on him sharply. She wasn't gonna let him get her from behind, nor take her down without a fight.
"I already know who you are. Name: Kagome, age: 17. You have no family, your birth parents are unknown and you have no home either. You're birthplace is unknown, same as your blood type." He stopped walking and smiled. "Am I close?"
Kagome growled and flexed her fingers under the water. "Hmm, and this one will be of some interest to you. Race: half-breed. Part human, and part-" Kagome almost fell over from shock. "-vampire. Hmm... I take it from the look on your face that shocked you?" He chuckled. "So, it is true. Very well then, I need you to come with me."
"And if I refuse?"
"Refuse? Why, I'm giving you an offer you can't refuse. Come with me, or be hunted down by the hunters and killed." He pulled out a phone and tossed it up into the air and he caught it with ease.
"If I wanted too, I could call the hunters and tell them were you are. You will be hunted down and killed no matter how long it takes. Either way, I'm still gonna get you, dead or alive. It doesn't matter to me. All I want is the secrets that lay in your blood."
Kagome backed further into the water. Touching her throat, she let her wings grow from her back, but she kept them hidden under the water. It's surface was like a mirror in darkness. You can see your reflection perfectly, but you cannot see what lays in wait below its smooth surface.
He put the phone back into his pocket and pulled out something else. His hand shot out, quick as lighting, and fired the gun. Kagome screamed and jumped out of the water. Her wings beating and spraying the man with water. She avoided the dart that he shot at her and she took to the sky.
Bullets have no effect on her, but darts... she didn't want to know what was in it. If it was a tranquilizer it would knock her out cold. He fired the dart gun once more, Kagome dived to avoid it. Something hit her in the neck and she reached up and ripped the red dart out of her neck.
She dropped it and her motions jerky. Tsuyoku let out a whoop of success. The musles in her wings started to cramp up and so did her stomach. Faintly aware that her wings stopped flapping and the wind rushing past her. A shock went though her as she hit the ground, no, he managed to catch her before she hit the ground.
Being momentary incapacitated, she was still conscious, but unable to move or do anything to defend herself. He threw her over his shoulder like a bag of potatos and walked back towards the shadows that he first appeared from. But first, he leaned down and reached into the water and grabbed her cloths that were floating under the surface.
Bounceing along the way though the forest, her entire body was cramped up and so was her jaw, if only I could move my mouth... she thought bitterly. Then she'll show him something for calling her a half-breed. Perfect spot, one bit and he was gone for good. He purposely bounced her on his shoulder, as if he knew what she was thinking. While he had her in such a undignified postion, he tried her ankles.
She realized that her hands were already tied together. Bastard. Damn no good, filthy, bastard. After a few minutes, luckily, he wasn't bouceing her on his shoulder anymore, he walked though an opening in the woods and walked towards a large SUV. He opened the back door and set her down in it. Her head rolled on her shoulder and her eyes were darting around.
"Don't worry, it'll wear off in about another thirty minutes or so. And if you behave, I might even untie you. But if you missbehave, then I guess I'm just gonna have to shoot you again." He chuckled lightly and pulled a black cloth out from under her.
He took it and tied it around her eyes, shit! fucking blindfold, grrr! and shut the door. He walked up to the driver's seat and got in. Starting the car, he pulled away from the side of the woods and got back on the road and headed away from the city.
After about thirty minutes, she could move her arms and legs again. But, no matter how much she shook her head, she couldn't get that. Damn. Blind fold. Off! Fighting against her binds, she winched when they started to cut into her wrists.
She growled and looked around her, but couldn't see a single damn thing. Grrr. That was starting to make her pissed. She daydreamed about when she gets the cored off, she would slaughter him. Pulling at her binds again, she flenched when they cut deeper into her wrists and could smell her own blood flowing down her arms.
The liquid was sweet smelling, but it turned her stomach because it was her own blood. The car rattled to a stop and she heard the door open and felt someone tug at her arm. Fighting back, and pretending to still be out of it, she slumped down and he had to drag her out of the back.
Tsuyoku pulled off her blind and she came face to face with a fallen angel. He look just like one too, with his pale blond hair and angel like features. His eyes was extremely strange. Near his pupil it was light blue, and around the rim it was a bright green. Neither color blended with the other and it was just plain creepy to look at. She shuddered and stummbled along as he hald dragged/carried her towards this tall building that looked like a warehouse.
