Chapter: 7

'.:Death and Rebirth:.'

Seikai was still asleep when the light shown brightly through the window. Kamu was still awake as she looked around the room. Zakel had not returned and she had a strange feeling something bad was about to happen.

Birds were singing in the distance, the only way for them to hear the birds was from a window that was half-open. Kamu gently stroked Seikai's hair. Seikai's eyes slowly fluttered open; the light seemed to sting a little since the whole room was lit up. She sighed a little and looked at Kamu.

"You staid up all night?" asked Seikai.
Kamu nodded, "Yea I had to make sure nothing would happen to you."
Seikai smiled and hugged her, "Thanks."

Kamu nodded as she looked around the room as she stood up. She still looked around as a light breeze came through the window and wrapped around in her hair. Seikai blushed, thinking Kamu was very beautiful. She shook her head keeping her mind on what might happen now. Seikai got to her feet, a little shakily from last night. She looked at Kamu; she wished she had not been caught so easily. She did not wish for harm to come to Kamu. Kamu looked over at her and smiled gently but reassuringly to her

"Something bothering you Seikai?" asked Kamu with a small smirk.
"It's nothing," replied Seikai as she started to head towards the fridge.
"It's empty," said Kamu watching her still.
Seikai rolled her eyes a little, "Great what am I suppose to eat!?"
"Keep yourself together; we will go out as soon as Zakel gets here."

Seikai sat down on the bed and hugged her knees. She did not look at Kamu as she closed her eyes in thought. Kamu watched her silently. Knowing that Seikai's life was changing rapidly then they both had wished for it to. She sighed as she leaned against the wall.

Bam! Came the door as it flung off the hindges, making a loud noise as it crashed to the floor. Seikai looked towards the door expecting trouble; there where the door used to be. Now stood a wounded Zakel. Zakel fell to one knee, "They are here." He looked at the floor, hiding a small smile. Kamu narrowed her eyes, "Let's go!"

Seikai nodded and went to Kamu's side. Zakel looked up towards them his smirk vanished, "We are surrounded…" Kamu shook her head, "This used to be my old hideout before I met you, and I know when we are surrounded, as for you." She smirked, as she took out a small ninja star, yet sharp and through it straight for Zakel. Seikai looked away not wishing to see the blood. The blade of the ninja star had lodged into Zakel's throat causing dark blood to fall the floor as the Zakel's choking body fell to the floor. Kamu grabbed Seikai and ran to the door. She looked around as Seikai tried not to look at the dead Zakel that lay on the floor. She decided to ask questions later. Kamu ran down the hall keeping Seikai close behind her. Seikai had gotten her arm free a little as she looked back to see that black dark figures were following them close behind. Their blood red eyes seemed to watch their every move as they followed them. Seikai looked back at Kamu and hoped they would make it out of this alive.

The vampires hissed and growled, like beasts. They started to gain up on them as Kamu hid Seikai behind her. Seikai tried to stand at Kamu's side. The vampire heard whispering coming from them as they were now only feet away.

Kamu looked at Seikai a little; as she watched, the vampires descend on them. Seikai looked straight at the vampires as she whispered to Kamu, "Please let me help you fight." Kamu blinked a little at her and nodded. She handed Seikai her sword and took out a small light bomb from one pocket. Seikai blinked as Kamu had then given her sunglasses to put on. Seikai looked at Kamu before putting them on. Kamu smirked as she pushed a button and let it loose into the air. The vampires looked startled at the ball that seemed to only blink once of light blue light before a big explosion of light filled the hall. The light acted like sunlight. Seikai was glad for the sunglasses as she watched them fall to the ground and burn to a crisp. The smell of burned flesh filled the air as the bodies turned to dust. Seikai shuttered a little as she looked back towards the wall that seemed to her to be a dead end. Kamu had turned around facing the door, "Kamu Itoshii Hito." Seikai blinked as the whole wall started to move upwards, revealing a gap. Kamu started to crawl under the lifting wall. Seikai hesitated before following after her.

Inhuman howls coming from the hall at an extremely fast pace. Seikai blinked at the noise. Kamu hissed a little, "Not them!" She shouted as she started to run faster. Seikai blinked, "Who are they?" "Not who, but what is the correct term," said Kamu continuing to run away from the howling and vicious snarling. Seikai nodded a little as she tried not to look back. However, she could not help her curiosity and looked back towards the demons. The demons were not really demons at all, but freaky never the less. They had been hit by the sun's light from the window, but were unaffected. The demons were really hounds, their saliva was green and hissed when it landed on the floor like acid. Their eyes were a blood red color and their bodies you could see the bones and muscles. They seemed to be inside out dogs from hell. Their nails were long and sharp; the teeth glistened as they tried to bite the air hoping to get flesh. Seikai gasped out as she saw the creatures gaining on them. She hopped that Kamu had a way of stopping these beasts.

Kamu stopped and faced the hounds, "Run for it still! I will hold them off the best I can!"
Seikai blinked at her, "But how?"
"Don't ask questions!" shouted Kamu

Seikai nodded a little as she then ran off down the hall and took a sharp right. She hopped that Kamu knew what she was doing. She raced down the hall and into a room that had a big metal door. Bolts were all over it and it had a heavy turning handle. Seikai pushed the big metal door closed and started to turn the wheel for it to lock in place.

"Come and get me hellhounds!" shouted Kamu.

The hellhounds snarled hungrily as they leaped at Kamu at the same time. Kamu smirked with her special made sword she started to send the hounds back to where they once came from. They disappeared in a matter of seconds in a dusty substance like ashes. Kamu Continued to slice and hack away all the hellhounds that came at her.

Seikai looked around the room, feeling nervous about what was going on. 'Angel,' she thought to herself quietly. Then a dark shadow loomed over her and Seikai turned quickly on the spot, fear gripping her, her small hairs on the back of her neck rose straight up. Standing before her was a dark figure that had horns sticking from its skull and teeth the size of half a finger. Its flesh couldnt not be seen from under the cloak it was whearin.

The thing seemed to be snearing at her as it held out its long sharp claws as its palm turned towards the ceiling and a dark purple light swirled around in the palm, "I be stow onto you a gift from the darkness." It then launched the swirling sphere towards her.

Seikai blinked in fright and was totaly frozen unable to move as the sphere whent right through her. Seikai fell to the floor as the figure disapeared in a cloud of smoke. Sekai's back started to burn causing her to close her eyes so tightly that tears came to her eyes. She gripped her shoulders tightly, the snarling from the other side of the door seemed to melt away and become unheard as the searing pain engulffed her mind. Sweat dripped down her forehead and nose, as she squirmed violently on the ground.

Kamu panted as she looked around her, most of the hounds had now fled for thier lives. Wiping the sweat from her forehead she hurried after Sekai hoping that she would be safe, she didnt understand fully on why the vampires were so interested in Sekai. Gritting her teeth Kamu ran down the dusty halls and creaking boards that were the floor. She soon came to a door that had four hellhounds near it. Smirking Kamu popped her neck, "Do you wish to join your buddies?" She didnt wait for them to attack first, running at them she slashed one across its skull, another in half, and stabbed one in the heart. The last one remaining snarled as it backed off a little from Kamu. Kamu only laughed, "Giving up?" The hound growled and jumped at her, claws extended and teeth baired. Kamu knelt quickly onto one knee and put her sword straight up just in time as the hound fell right onto it. A howl in pain and dust flew down like snow over Kamu. Kamu shook it off as she stood and looked towards the door, "Sekai?" She called from the other side of the door.

Sekai looked towards the door, 'Kamu?' She wasnt sure if it was her or not as she slowly got to her feet. The pain had finaly subsided as she unlocked the bolted door. Kamu helped her push it open and walked in, "Sekai?" She blinked at her a little. Sekai turned her head to the side, "Dont worry, the beasts didnt touch me.." Kamu smiled and hugged her tightly, "I'm glad your alright, really." Sekai winced in pain and hugged her back, unsure if she should tell Kamu of the stranger that had appeared before her in the room just minutes ago. Biting her lip she pushed Kamu gently, but kept her hands on Kamu's arms. "Something wrong?" asked Kamu worriedly. Sekai kept biting her lip before finaly speaking, "There was a strange figure...Standing just there of the window.." She pointed to where the figure once was and watched Kamu. Kamu looked towards the spot, but didnt say anything. "It had some kind of purple sphere in one hand..and said something about a gift from the darkness..Before launching it towards me, where it then whent through me and caused me to fall to the floor in pain.." Sekai finished and looked at Kamu, "What does it mean?" Kamu shook her head, "This madness is so complicated..When you think you figured it all out and it changes on you." Sekai nodded a little, "Maybe its nothing.." She was hoping that the figure hadnt done anything to her. Kamu shook her head, "We shall soon find out what the person did to you...Till then lets get out of here before others come." Sekai nodded and walked towards the window. A small breeze stirred her hair as her soft eyes looked down towards the people that were busy doing erons. Kamu watched her gently, "I am glad by the way...That you told me about the figure that you saw...And the attack.." Kamu wished herself on what it ment for Sekai, wishing she could do something more to protect the girl from being attacked. Sekai hit the window sill with a fist, "Why am I being targetted?" Tears were coming to her eyes. Closing them tightly, trying to hide them from Kamu. Kamu shook her head and walked over to Sekai, "We will find out soon enough Sekai, stay strong. We cant let them win..." "I am just a burrden to you..." replied Sekai, eyes still closed. Kamu shook her head and tucked a strand of Sekai's hair behind the ear before kissing her wet cheek. "Shh..I dont care about you being a burden, really," Kamu said to her gently as she wiped away a stray tear. Sekai looked towards her, turning red, "R-realy?" Kamu laughed and nodded, she didnt mean to laugh at seeing Sekai blush. "Yea really," She said to her before heading towards the door; holding out a hand to Sekai. Sekai wipped away the tears from her eyes with a sleeve and took Kamu's hand into hers. "Where shall we go?" asked Sekai. "I have many hideouts that Zakel doesnt relize I have," she said with a smile and headed down the hall. Sekai followed after her, hopping to find out soon on what was going on.
