Sei opened her eyes she had been asleep; she noticed she was in bed and she could feel Miyuki holding her. Sei smiled a little, she wondered when she had fallen asleep, because the last thing she remembered was sitting in the medic wing. She felt Miyuki shift and then the hold increased "Are you awake my dear?" She asked softly. Sei nodded "Yeah, when did I fall asleep?" She asked.
Not long after you gave your blood to Shura, I brought you up here so you could rest peacefully" Miyuki replied. Sei smiled "I feel better how are the children?" She asked, Miyuki smiled "They're going to be fine" She said softly. Sei nodded as she stood up and stretched Sei then looked at Miyuki and brought her close kissing her on the lips. Then the two left to check on the children.
When Sei entered the door she was glomped by three girls, she smiled as she hugged them all "I see you're all awake" She said. They nodded as they smiled "Thanks to you" Michi said. Sei smiled as she hugged them again "I would have been their sooner but I had some complications" She said. She noticed that Nexus, Alex, Shizuma and Nagisa were there as well.
"It's time to go Sei" Nexus said, Sei nodded "Yes it is" She said. Shura looked at them "Can we go?" She asked. Nexus smiled "That is up to your Mother" She said. They looked at Sei, Sei looked at Nexus she nodded "Yes lets go, lets awaken Iris and the First" she said. Everyone seemed to nod. "We'll transport this will be the first time for the Children" Nexus said.
They all waited for Nexus to summon the portal she and Alex were the first to go through then Michi, Chiyu, Shura, Nagisa, Shizuma, Miyuki, and last was Sei. When they stepped out they noticed they were in a strange cave. They followed Nexus and they seen different paths. Nexus guided them and they were there in about thirty minutes.
They could smell blood and once they emerged from the tunnels they seen Iris fighting off Weretigers. "Should we help?" Michi asked. Nexus smiled "No let her have her fun" She said once Iris was done she looked at them "I thought you would never get here" She said.
As they came closer she smiled "Follow me" She said as they went further into the tunnel and stopped "I can't go any further Its all you Nexus" She said. Nexus nodded as she looked at Alex she kissed her "I love you" She said. Alex nodded kissing her back "I love you too" She said as she watched Nexus enter.
No one knew what would happen once the first awoken since Nexus was part of the first. Sei knew that Alex hated this but she knew this had to be done. Iris turned and looked at Sei and Nagisa "My you two have grown so much since I last seen you" She said, Nagisa nodded a little. "My gifts were helpful I presume" She said. Sei nodded "They were" She replied.
Iris smiled as she turned around the strange shield that was once there was gone. Everyone was nervous as they heard foot steps, they watched as a beautiful woman came out she had long brown hair with blue eyes. Alex felt her heart sink Nexus was gone She came over to Alex and smiled "She's in the back she's tired, you should get her" She said. Sei noticed her voice was like velvet, she then turned to Iris and smiled as she brought her close.
"My dear Iris" She said softly, Iris hugged her "Arrow" She said as she closed her eyes. Arrow then kissed Iris on the lips "I'm sorry you had to suffer for so long" She said, She then turned to Sei who smiled "And you are the one who figured it all out" She said. Sei nodded as she looked at her, She came over and hugged her "Thank you, all my sins have been washed away thanks to you, and not only you but also your friends" She said.
Arrow then turned to Shura, Michi, and Chiyu "And the three of you" She said as she went over "I see great potential in all of you" She said. "A warrior you are young Shura, a brilliant scientist Michi and talented weapons smith Chiyu" She said. Alex came back holding Nexus "But now what, now that your awaken they won't stop till they have you" Sei said.
Arrow smiled "That I know, that is why we are going to battle you have met the person behind this whole thing, the woman you met was truly the first of your kind" She said. Everyone was surprised "But the man?" Shizuma said. "Was the second I turned the woman but she turned him" Arrow said. Sei nodded "I see" She said as she looked at everyone "We should get back to the mansion we need to think of a strategy" She said.
Alex nodded as she opened the portal everyone went though and Anette watched as they came back, but when she seen Arrow she felt nervous and bowed. Arrow smiled "Please do not bow to me I am the same as you" She said. Anette looked up "But you are the First" She said. Arrow smiled "I may be the first but I am still a vampire you are my equal" She said.
Anette seen Nexus and she brought over blood, Arrow seemed to watch her "You have a warriors souls, yet you do not fight" She said. Anette smiled "I was turned by the Kitsune clan we make the life better for vampire though our technology and our medical advances, we don't fight" She said. Arrow shook her head "Nonsense this will not do at all" She said.
Nexus was drinking blood she looked at Arrow and closed her eyes after her fill she fell asleep. Sei was sitting down thinking she had no idea what would work for once her mind wasn't ticking. Shura sat with her and looked down "We won't have to find them they'll find us, especially if they know the Arrow is awake" Shura said. Sei nodded "Yes but why, why do they want Arrow so much?" She asked.
"Because she wants my blood the more blood she had of mine the stronger she gets" Arrow said, Sei nodded "I'm out of ideas, Weretigers with the Madness are almost impossible to take down, and they will have a whole army" Sei said, just then Sei looked up hearing feet come in she was surprised to see Kiri "We are going to help, its our fault you all are in this mess." She said.
Sei smiled "But I still don't see how were going to do this I mean yeah" She said. Anette looked up "I have a theory when you were transformed you were hit with silver that changed you back what if we hit the armies with silver" She said. Sei looked up "That might work but where are we going to get some much silver?" She asked. "A silver grenade" Anette replied.
Shura nodded "It would work if we threw them in the right places we could make one big explosion sending them out of their form, their easier to hurt that way" She said. Iris smiled "Plus the Hellhounds worked for you if I am correct" She said. Sei nodded "They did but I can't summon anymore I don't have the strength too, the only ones around are the ones protecting everyone" She said.
Iris smiled "I can summon them, so we'll have back up" She said. Sei nodded and looked at Anette "You have an armory?" She asked. Anette smiled "Yes, the Kitsune clan has one just in case, follow me" She said. Sei followed her as they went down stairs and into what looked like a vault. She smiled looking at it "You should have the clan members be ready for battle" She said.
"I will don't worry, you should get ready for battle" She said then she went over to a box handing it to her "Its silver grenades, I don't know how many but they should work. But remember they will have the same effects on you" She said Sei nodded as she went upstairs she noticed more black portals and she wondered who it could be. Out came members of both the Shii and Drako families. Kaname smiled seeing Sei "I thought I told you to stay out of trouble" She said.
Sei smiled "I can't help it if trouble finds me it's a knack I have" She said. Kaname only smiled "We heard you could use some help so we decided to come and help out with this fight" She said. Sei smiled seeing everyone "I have to say its great to see you all, but what were fighting is something we've never fought before it's a hybrid of Weretiger and Vampire. When they are transformed into the Weretiger forms it's almost impossible to take them down. So the plan is silver it knocks them out of that form"
Everyone seemed to nod, Sei looked at the Michi, Chiyu and Shura she smiled "I want you to stay close okay, Sei then took the hooks swords off her back "Take these" she said handing them to Shura. She then summoned a spear for Michi and last she summoned a katana for Chiyu. "Protect yourselves" She said looking at them. They all seemed to nod, Shura closed her eyes Miyuki came over "Your moving the battle form away here but where?" She asked.
"Out to the forest we have too if we are in here were as good as dead" She said. Miyuki nodded "Alright those of you who are ready lets go to the forest" She said. They seemed to nod as they followed her. Sei opened her eyes and looked at Nexus sleeping, Alex smiled "Don't worry I'll protect her you take the rest of the Kitsune clan out" She said.
Iris and Arrow followed her as they went outside with the rest of the forces. Sei opened the box and looked at the grenades. She took them and started to place them in different places and added trip wire to them so they would go off when she pulled the wire. She looked at everyone "Their coming" She said as she sniffed the air.
Sei looked ahead seeing the hordes of hybrids coming. She looked at everyone and nodded to them to take their positions. She seen the woman who smiled looking at her "I'm glad you awakened Arrow now my plans will be whole" She said as they stopped, Sei smiled "If you say" She said as the woman growled she charged at her and Sei pulled the string the grenades going off.
Silver was thrown everywhere but the woman had Sei on the ground as the other started to fight "My, My you are a pest" She hissed as she bit into Sei's neck as Sei pushed her off. Sei slowly stood she would be able to transform and she did. But the woman shifted as well. They seemed to be battling but Sei was losing this fight as she was thrown against a tree.
The woman smiled walking over to Sei biting into her neck drinking her blood. Sei felt light headed she couldn't move, she was losing too much blood, Shura turned to see how Sei was doing and when she seen Sei she quickly transformed jumping on the woman's back. The woman was fighting her off and she threw Shura against the tree hard making her cry out in pain.
Sei didn't know what happened but when she heard Shura's cry and looked over seeing her in pain she felt anger take over and where she felt weak she was strong. She picked up one of the blades Shura had dropped and swung it at the woman hitting her in the back. She cried out and Sei brought her head back. "You will never hurt any of my children ever again"
Sei then pulled the blade out throwing her against a tree Sei brought the blade up but stopped when Arrow appeared in front of her "I'll take care of her" She said. Sei nodded as Arrow thrust her hand in the woman's chest and pulled out her heart "I want my gift back" Arrow said as she crushed the heart, she watched as the woman started to turn to dust.
The battle still raged on with the forces they were mindless puppet, puppets that had to be destroyed. It was late in the night when the battle was done. Everyone was exhausted Sei was looking around it was done she was happy, Sei slowly made her way over to a tree she opened her jacket pocket and smiled seeing the Ocarina.
Once again the small instrument had stayed in one piece though the fight. Sei brought the Ocarina to her lips where she started to play a song as she did she started to walk around. The others seemed to smile as it lifted their spirits even those who were wounded. Once done she put it away and looked up at the moon.
Those were bitten were taken to the mansion to get the cure so no one would get the Madness. They returned to the mansion as well to get some blood, Iris smiled looking at Sei she motioned her over. Sei stood next to her "Thank you Sei" She said. Sei smiled "You did it Iris, not me" She said. Iris smiled "You were the one to figure it out though, no one else could have" She said.
