Fallen Angels
Chapter 2: Death, a Vow, an Old Enemy, and a New One?
By: Katsuya Maxwell
Author's notes: First of all, I would like to thank everyone for reviewing. Special thanks to Sailor Gaia for giving me encouragement when my sister totally discouraged me. Since, I am so grateful that people reviewed and helped give me ideas, I decided to put this chapter out early. Originally, this chapter would have been posted up next week but.... Well no more notes I can think of except that I need to ask a question, "What about Quatre?". I mean, he's a caring person....er.... no clue what he's going to be but where is his love life?! *ahem* Sorry, but I think Duo might just be the winning man for Hotaru. By the way, Heero won't....er.... I must keep my mouth shut about the story. Anyways, ENJOY! (^-^)
Disclaimer: *dreams of owning SM or GW* Hmmm..... *a lawyer comes in and erases the little dream bubble* Hey! *takes the paper in lawyer's hand* Hrm... but... I DON'T WANNA READ THIS! I DON'T WANNA!

(Hotaru's POV)
I had trouble finding everyone in the filthy, crowded city of bustling people, androids, and other beings. The honks of an 'aerar' or car could be heard almost everywhere I went, but I found Rei, Setsuna, and Sere. I warned them all about the powerful vampire and his 'assassins'. We had split up and went in different directions.
I was on top of the highest skyscraper in Krelia City, when I felt the shadows reach out and call Death. Yes, I was close, very close. I disappeared and reappeared on a hotel roof top, and Sere was standing there, with fire in her sapphire eyes. "Ah. So the party has decided to come and save their young friend," a man said standing a few feet away from us.
"Blood, krauv sor leiun dretisc," Dark Blaze said to Blood. (Translation: Blood, stand behind me now.) Blood Triton, was directly across from us and unnerved by the powerful aura surrounding this man. She disappeared and reappeared behind Dark her dark blue hood hiding the terror in her face.
"Trieze.... You dare show your face to us? You whom destroyed my coven, you who destroyed my kind," I stated in a slow manner, remembering my close encounter with Treize's sword. "You're the little one from Sirahsia's coven, aren't you?" he asked a hint of interest in his voice. "Yes, it is I, Shadow," I stated using the name that I was given when I joined the coven.
"Shadow, you're aura is different from any normal witch. You are a vampire and a witch," he said with more interest. "Death, thratea oro sima grequet vijinx?" Dark asked me. (Translation: What is he talking about?) Her sapphire eyes stared at me with such power that I couldn't look away. "So you haven't told your friends yet. This should be even more interesting," he said with a smirk.
"I'll tell you later, but not now. He's here to kill Blood, so we need to stop him. It's our duty as Slayers," I said to her. She nodded once, then turned around to face Treize. "Treize, I will not waste time with a speech, but I give you a second of breath before we rip you to shreds," Dark Blaze said, her crystal blue eyes changing to a near black-blue color.
She bites her finger lightly, drops of blood fall to the ground and form a crimson katana. It rises up to her and she takes it, getting into an offense position. I summon my glaive and she attacks him first; she jumps towards him and slashes at him quickly. He dodges easily, with a soft smirk.
She jumps behind him and he whips out his own sword and pulls it down, making it slice her back. I glare at him and I gather an invisible attack, strong enough this time to knock his head off. I send it his way and he gasps as he realizes his mistake. The invisible force approaches him at a fast speed but suddenly a black shadow appears in front of Treize and stops it.

(Author's POV)
"I'm sorry bud, but I can't let you do that. Not yet, that is," the black figure said. Death looked at this figure and kept her shock to herself. 'His aura is familiar. The same as the one that...no! It can't be him. He can't be the same one!' Hotaru thought and glared at him.
"Look, I don't care who you are, but I warn you, if you do not move now, I will be forced to hurt you," Dark Blaze said threateningly. "He's probably one of Treize's assassins," Blood said slowly. "Hey, wait just a minute! I am not working for 'him'," the man said.
Death took a closer look at this man and saw that he had a braid, a long chestnut colored braid. Her gaze shifted as she felt him looking her up and down. Their eyes locked and she saw eyes that almost mirrored her own, except his were cobalt blue, not a violet color like hers. "You saved him from the attack. You are our enemy, no matter what you say. You are a vampire," Dark said and gripped the sword.
She dropped the sword and it changed back into drops of blood, that hit the ground and disappeared. Dark held her hand in front of her and a small bubble formed, glowing multiple colors. Death moved smoothly towards her partner and placed a hand on her shoulder. The bubble turned black and almost looked like black opal.
"Let our combined powers..."Dark started. "Destroy those within our path..." Death said. "Moonlight fill..." Dark continued. "And shadows create..." Death stated. "Bubble of..." the two girls chanted together. "Dark..." Dark Blaze said. "And Death," Death Bringer chanted. "Destroy!" the two vampires shouted together, ending the whole chant.
The black opal bubble popped and millions of acid like blood drops flew towards the two men. Treize disappeared from sight before the attack could hit him and the droplets flew straight through the unexpected visitor. Suddenly, a gasp was heard, then a blood curdling scream. The slayers whipped their head around to see Ami on her knees.
"Please, forgive me, my friends," she said as the sword that stuck out from her back was pulled back. A baby blue tear fell from her eye and hit the ground, sparkling brightly, like a small star sent from the skies. "Thank you for your lovely donation," Treize shouted as he scooped up the sparkling star. With one quick move, he cut off her head and let it roll on the ground. He disappeared from sight with an evil laugh.
"Oh great. I let him take away her essence. I better get going. Later babe and bud," the braided man said and turned to walk away. Death quickly ran towards to the stranger with amazing speed, she sliced at his back with her glaive. "I'm not through with you yet," she said in a dangerously quiet tone. The unknown man stepped to the side easily, then grabbed the glaive from her hand. It instantly vanished as he turned her around and made her face him.
He leaned his face close to hers and she glared at him. He grinned when he noticed that he was talking to a woman. "I was wondering if you were a man or not. Your voice reminds of a friend of mine. Not to mention, its hard to tell when it is muffle by the hood," he said. Dark Blaze was about to attack when she got a warning message from Death.
"So what's your name gorgeous?" he asked, his cobalt blue eyes twinkling with amusement. "Shadow," she said with a monotone voice. "I'm Shinigami. I may run and hide but I never tell a lie," he introduced himself. He quickly pulled her hood off and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "I hope we meet again. Preferably on a date," he said as he ran off in the night.
Hotaru pulled her hood over her head again, then brought her clenched fists to her sides. She walked up to Ami's body and saw the black blood on the ground. She formed a few signs with her gloved hands and whispered, "I cleanse your soul of impurity. I place the burden on me now. Live in freedom." The body burst in blue flames and was quickly incinerated, leaving only a large pile of glittering ash.
Hotaru gathered a handful of the sparkling ash and placed it in a dark blue pouch, she slipped the pouch in a hidden pocket. Sere picked up a handful of the ash as well and opened her palm, blowing the glittering blue ash into the night. Suddenly, a soft breeze blew the rest of the ash away, and Sere's eyes were a dark blue. "I swear Treize we will track you down and end your life of darkness. If it means we must go to the ends of the universe, then so be it," Sere said and clenched her fist. "So mote it be," Hotaru said and a terrible wind started blowing.
*~*~* Somewhere else in the city *~*~*
Setsuna and Rei felt the harsh wind blow through the city, and knew that Sere and Hotaru just made a vow for revenge. "Ami's dead," Rei said with a wavery voice. "Yes, and Hotaru has met the person that changed Sere into a vampire," Setsuna said. "There are still not ready for this. We must gather together before anything else happens tonight," Setsuna said softly.
Unknown to Setsuna and Rei, a pair of cold Prussian blue eyes were watching them. A hand was held out in front of it and a black sword formed in the hand. The figure jumped towards them and......
