Short chapter is short. I wrote it around 1 am, finished round 1:30 I think... Anyways, it was for one reason. I wanted to get 'er done. Next update should be survival(Watch it be this story now). For the record I have not abandoned my other stories but I am likely going to remove Ambiguity and Sick from the site until I can get things going on them. One reason for this, Ambiguity I did feel pressured into writing and I literally have no idea what I'm doing with it... Sick is too difficult to write at the moment because it's just too close to home. Dad is getting sicker and it's very difficult just to watch it let alone write about similar symptoms and effects especially since we found out he may have two cancers, not just one. Th second one is waiting on tests to confirm but regardless a brain tumor is still a brain tumor...

Long A/N is long. Long A/N is now over too so...enjoy Celty tryna' kill everyone... warning she's gonna be OOC for this chapter, please remember SHE IS INSANE TOO.

Celty stood, sniffing the air lightly, her teal eyes beginning to turn red. Her breath was normal, though it was almost more frightening.
"Where is he?" He voice was soft and sad and it caused Mikado and Kida –who had been unaware of her presence to turn, their eye's widening in horror as well. All hunters knew her face. They also knew they had to flee but they knew it would do no good… they were dead… a loud pop echoed behind her though causing her to snarl and turn, automatically lunging at the vampire who had appeared.

"Shizuo!" Izaya hadn't been able to stop himself shouting out, nor keep the concern from his voice. He was terrified suddenly of losing Shizuo, to this woman though. Shizuo's head had snapped in his direction in time though and he dodged out of the way before putting himself between the ancient and the humans. Mikado and Kida had moved nearer to Izaya and Mikado called for backup and medical teams. They all knew escape was impossible, the only hope was to kill her if they could.

"You know where he is… don't you?" She murmured, turning to look at the four. Kida was still trying to patch Mikado up but he was too busy making sure they both had swords. A knife flew out from behind Shizuo, another of Izaya's knives being released toward the ancient. She caught it between two fingers and threw it to one side.

"Back up is on its way, Shinra says he wants us to try out the new capture device he has too, said it'll be good to study her if we can't kill her" Kida informed Izaya who nodded and paled.
"Good… they can't get here fast enough…" Izaya shivered as Celty's brilliant red eyes swept over them, her gaze settling on Mikado who was still bleeding.

"Thirst…." She murmured now, "I thirst… give me him, give me him, give me him!"
"What the hell is wrong with her?" Shizuo asked, shocked by her erratic behaviour.
"Her mate died, he refused to turn for her. If a vampire's mate dies they go insane…" Izaya explained getting more throwing knives ready. Shizuo made a face at the smell but he'd deal with it as well if it meant Izaya living. He didn't want to look like Celty did now. She looked insane, angry, lost…

"GIVE HIM TO ME!" She shrieked, power flooding off her like a wave. It blew their hair and caused the air to move from her in a gust like the wind. It was terrifying to the humans and even Shizuo felt nervous. His own eyes had altered to a deep crimson as he watched her carefully. He didn't dare take his eyes off the woman, even when he heard footsteps behind them. Multiple footsteps meant lots of people and judging by heart beats at least twenty new people were there.

"Let me set this up!" Someone said from behind Shizuo.
"We need to kill her Shinra, not catch her!" Kida argued and Shizuo bared his fangs at her a low hiss escaping him.
"Shame… she's really pretty…"
"SHINRA!" About fifteen people yelled at him at once and it drew attention from the others.

"We need plan!" A woman's voice spoke, thick with a Russian accent and Celty's head tilted to the side.
"Give him back…." Her voice was soft and sad again.
"We hold her off until someone gets a killing blow in or Shinra's damn contraption works." Izaya growled. Another knife was sent flying at her and again she batted it out of the way easily. Shizuo remained planted firmly in front of Izaya though, he would not let her get him at least. It didn't matter if he died, it didn't matter if other hunters died. He would not put his mate at risk. Izaya too was well aware of this fact and he was going to use it to his full advantage now.

"Vorona, Akabayashi, Shiki, you three flank her left, Kida, Kieran, You two flank right, Mikado and I will stay here behind Shizuo. You guys pincer around and drive her towards us three and we can try and hit her then. She can't evade us all forever." Izaya's plan was the best they had though Kida was reluctant to leave Mikado's sighed.

"Do it, she'll be more interested in me since I'm bleeding… you should be safe…" Mikado's concern was ill placed however when they moved to carry out the plan. Rather than shooting down at Shizuo and Izaya where the strongest smell of blood wafted with Mikado she aimed directly for one of her attackers, Kiernan taking her unexpected blow into his throat with a gurgling yelp of pain. She bit hungrily into his neck and drew deeply. Shizuo's shivered then, his mind flashing to his own attack. She had… she had done this to him too… The other hunters rushed in but she snarled, dropping her prey, mouth bloodied.

"Shit!" Akabayashi tried to drive her back but the nine pointed Star on the end of his cane pressed uselessly into her neck and she snarled at him, swiping with her hands, a move he only just dodged, hair thin scratches on his chest.

"She's too fast!" Shiki cursed when it happened.
"Everyone move!" Shinra called. A few things happened then in a moment of relative chaos. Kida lunged for Mikado, dragging him to the side as the other hunters scattered and Shizuo turned, wrapping his arms around Izaya and forcing him to the ground. Celty's head snapped in Shinra's direction as she vanished from where she stood as his unique net passed through the space she stood in, only for her to reappear on the other side. She went for him next and the doctor flinched, a hand raised and his comrade's shut their eye's knowing his death was imminent. They didn't want to watch her take his life.

"…Huh?" It was Shinra's voice that caused them to look once more and every one of their jaws dropped. Shizuo got his first look at what was behind him too… numerous scientists stood around what appeared to be a large, metallic canon. Beside it a man in a lab coat and suit sat on the floor as though he had been knocked there by some blow. He wore glasses and his hair and eyes were the same shade of brown. It was Celty who had all eyes on her though. Her fingers –though claws may have been a more apt description—were stopped, millimetres from Shinra's neck as though frozen in place. Her eyes had reverted to teal but they were lighter than they had been and then a tear formed in her eye.

"You…" She murmured. He glanced around as she withdrew her hand from his throat and fell to her knees, moving closer to him.
"Aiden?" She whispered next, her eye's wide. Shinra gulped a little.
"I-I'm sorry? I-I'm Shinra… Shinra Kishitani…" He murmured. Shizuo's ears pricked. Her breath had quickened, her pulse had picked up from the almost sludgy beat it had been at and her whole demeanor changed.

"It's you…" She gasped, arms wrapping around him.
"I'm not…" Shinra blinked but he couldn't shake the feeling that he did know her… and what she was talking about.
"It's you…" She murmured again, unwilling to let the smallish man go. It was Shizuo who could tell what had happened though, his body relaxing.

"Well, now that that's over with…" He muttered, standing up and pulling Izaya back up with him.
"Wait…what happened?" Izaya asked, as the other hunters stood up. They weren't sure what the hell just happened.
"Obvious isn't it? The doctor guy over there is her mate."

Izaya: I thought you said her mate died.
Seliphra: He did.
Shizuo: I thought you said vampires only get one mate...
Seliphra: They do.
Izaya and Shizuo: SO HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
Seliphra: ... you'll see in the next chapter~ =)
Shizuo: But the next chapter isn't written yet!
Seliphra: I guess the readers had better review then if they want the chapter before next friday...btw, HAPPY BIRTHDAY IZAYA!
Izaya: Oh yeah, it's May 4th... *sweat drops and is forced into a funny hat and made to eat cake. Oh how terrible for him*
