Tomas and his family stumbled towards the three vampires. Nervously they drew their weapons and pointed them towards the three vampires their hands shaking in fear. Wilson nervously swallowed loudly and Samantha's steps became short and nervous.
"What are we doing", Shippo whispered to Kagome as he watched Tomas and his family approach the vampires. He admitted that he was not fond of Tomas or this sudden turn of events but to turn anyone over to be killed just seemed wrong to him.
"Saving our lives for a few days", Kagome replied.
The vampires smiled as they approached this appeared to be an easy kill. The blonde haired woman started to approach Wilson while the red head started to approach Tomas. Tomas glanced away for a second and saw the male vampire approaching Anastasia and Samantha. Tomas waited until they were almost upon them then he revealed his smile.
"Now", Tomas shouted as he jammed his sword deep into the red haired woman's stomach then he cut upward straight for the heart. Anastasia and Samantha quickly chopped their axes deep into the man's body.
"Tomas", the blonde screamed as the katanna as Wilson's sword chopped off her head.
"Huh", Tomas said as he turned around and saw her body fall. Then it hit him like a load of bricks. That voice, the hair, and the body it all came together, the woman was Thyra Ericskon a friend of his from Greenland.
"Thyra",Tomas shouted as he ran over her.
"What is she doing here", Anastasia asked "I thought that she and Ragnar were in Greenland".
"You know her", Kagome asked
"Yeah an old friend from Greenland Ana met her when we hunted the black dragon", Tomas explained. "but why is she here when we were last in Greenland she and Ragnar were happy and it was at least 2 years ago by your time"?
"Is that Ragnar", Shippo asked as he pointed to the male vampire.
"No", Anastasia said.
"That was a nice trick", Wilson said
"Glad you four played along so well", Sango said
"You'd almost think that you wanted us to lose", Wilson said.
"And have to do this again in a day", Sango shot back
Wilson smiled this girl who was talking to them may hate them but she did have a calculating mind, he liked that.
"Well they are dead, but they'll be back and they won't fall for the same trick twice",Tomas said "so lets make the introductions and feast for tommorrow night we will have to fight again".
"True", Inuyasha said "Okay, Kagome and I you know and the monk is named Mirokou, the fox runt is named Shippo, and then the demon slayer with the dog is Kiaria and Sango".
"So Kiaria whats the beef between you and my folks", Wilson asked.
"I'm Sango my dog is Kiaria", Sango said
"Ah", Wilson said uneasily.
"As for 'the beef between me and your folks' as you so elequantly put it", Sango said "When I met your mom and dad we found out one thing both of your parents your dad espically were war hungry".
"So", Samantha said.
"For humans its not a good thing to have be in close proximetry to two battle hungry vampires",Mirokou said.
"Relax we hate the way Asian blood taste and we ate our fill before we came", Anastasia said with a grin.
"So you killed four people before you came", Shippo asked.
"No, we use blood banks", Tomas said
"Blood banks", Sango asked.
"Humes donate blood so other humes can use it later", Tomas explained "We just swipe a few bags every now and then. So in short they are still alive, and in the past I've only fed on criminals as decided by their peers".
"Really", Sango asked
"Yes", Tomas said looking her right in the eyes
"I would've never guessed", Sango said
"Maybe you should not be so quick to judge", Wilson said.
"Let's feast", Anastasia said as she started to rumage through her pack looking for the dehydrated steaks
----
"So what do we do", Inuyasha asked
"We patrol and arm the townspeople", Tomas said "Wilson you and Samatha handle the fight simulations for the townsfolk concentrate in guerrilla style weapons".
"Yes sir", Wilson and Samantha said in unison
---
Night had fallen as
Tomas and his clan along with Inuyasha and his clan both stood on
oppisite sides of the town. The training had gone as well as could be
expected but no one had high hopes of the townsfolk changing the
outcome of the fight.
"Where are they", Tomas whispered
"Wilson go and check the other side of the town and check on them", Tomas whispered
Wilson smiled and quickly snuck away making his way to Inuyasha's clan. On his way over he saw Sango approaching his side
"Sango", Wilson whispered
"Wilson", Sango whispered back "Any action on your side"?
"No, yours", Wilson asked
Sango shook her head
"Where are they", Wison whispered half aloud
Sango shrugged
"Wish we could hunt them", Wilson said.
"Yeah me too and my folks and I used to hunt all the time then my brother was born and we stopped", Sango said wistfully
"You have a brother", Wilson asked "where is he"?
"Dead, the vampires killed him first", Sango replied.
"I'm sorry for your loss",Wilson said.
"That's why I hate all vampires", Sango said
"We're not all evil", Wilson said "anyways we best check back in withour clans"
Sango nodded and walked back towards Inuyasha while Wilson headed back to his dad.
---
"Nothing", Tomas asked in disbelief
Wilson nodded.
"Can we go hunt them", Samantha asked
"No they could be hiding waiting for us to leave the post before they attack", Tomas said as he took a swig of water.
"Have the half breed watch it and yell really loudly ", Samantha suggested
"No", Anastasia said
"Oh no", Tomas whispered as a thought occurred to him. "I gotta go talk to the monk"
"What is it", Wilson asked
"A foreboding thought", Tomas said as he ran over to where Mirokou was.
---
Tomas had just made it to where Mirokou and the others were
"Monk how far of a walk is it from here to akiebie village "
"A few days", Mirokou replied "why" ?
"Tell me that you or some other monk blessed the bodies", Tomas whispered
"No it was all done in one night it was just like they were here one day and gone the next", Mirokou replied uneasily.
"and you didn't think to bless the bodies", tomas asked a hint of anger
Mirokou shook his head
"Why", Tomas asked
"I didn't think too", mirokou replied "and …"
"You need to spend more time at the seminary schools and less time with the ladies if your gonna wear that robe", Tomas interrupted angrily
"How dare you judge me ", Mirokou angrily hissed
Tomas leaned in towards Mirokou and then he spoke
"Any second year seminary student knows that any hume that is dead and who's body is non blessed can be transformed into a minion of any vampire"!!
Mirokou and the others gasped.
"See the problem now", Tomas asked.
"So they have ready access to a small army", Inuyasha asked
Tomas nodded
"Just like old times", Kagome said
"They probably wont come tonight", Tomas said "But there armies will be on the move".
"What do we do", Shippo asked.
"We plan defenses", Tomas said "then tommorrow we build".
"How many are we talking about", Kagome asked
"Take however many were in the town when they resettled it then add the town's population when the wendol attacked 2 years ago and you get the idea", Tomas replied then he walked off

Tomas had just walked to his family when he saw something he didn't expect. In front of him was Thyra on her knees with her hands up to show that she had no weapons. To her right was Wilson with his sword at the base of her neck and to her left was Samantha with her axe raised above Thyra's head.
"She came right after you left said she wants to talk",Ana said.
"Tomas it's good to see you again", Thyra said "call off the family"?
