Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Hunter D
Left hand began to grow impatient. D has seemed to be off in his own little world and hasn't said a word. It wasn't unusual for D to be so silent, but he would sometimes inform him where they where going or call on his assistance whenever he found a lead, but now...nothing. He couldn't blame him though, he didn't say anything himself ever since they left the small town, plus he wasn't sure where to start either.
D began to get curious why his left hand wasn't causing a ruckus. Never was he this silent. D stopped his horse and began to get his bearings. He didn't have much to go on.
"Hey, why did you stop?" Left hand decided that he should be the first to say something
"Hmmm" D began to think, "Leila stayed in the town to live after we parted right?"
"As far as I know" Left hand assumed, "What are you thinking?"
D kicked his horse into an immediate gallop and headed east. "Oh I get it!" Left hand spoke up, "That is where that girl was attacked! We may be able to find some clues! Ha ha I knew that was what you where thinking! I can still read you yet! You know I think we should just find a place to stay for the day before we get to that town, because yesterday you where out in the sun all day and--"
D did not give his hand to finish and reached back to slap the rear of his horse. "Argh! You could have just said something D!" Left hand complained.
D shrugged "Your back to normal now"
Leila decided to wake up early and get some work done around the house, or was it? She hasn't slept all night ever since D left last night without taking the money. Leila put on her thick robe and walked downstairs, she looked outside and watched the sun rise "I guess he isn't such a greedy bastard after all" Leila smiled as she thought back to the time D fought with Meier for Charlotte's body.
Leila stretched and rubbed her stomach, she felt hungry. She haven't gone grocery shopping this week, it was time that she did. Leila took a glass from the cupboard and filled herself a glass of water and walked upstairs. She drank down the water in one gulp and opend her closet to look for a long, and loose dress she could wear. The dress was very simple, almost the kind that an older woman would wear when she went gardening. Leila quickly ran a comb through her tangled blonde hair and quickly grabbed her handbag. If she was going to go grocery shopping, why not stop somewhere for breakfast first?
The sun was just over the horizon, Leila locked the door behind her and walked down the road to the nearest restaurant. Before she reached the entrance Leila looked in her handbag and counted her paper money to make sure she left with enough to pay for breakfast and groceries. Leila did not realize where she was walking and walked into a young man who was on his way to the general store.
"Oh I'm so sorry!" Leila quickly apologized,
"I'm not" The tall man smiled at her, "Your new in town aren't ya?" he suddenly stopped when he noticed Leila's abdomen, "Oh sorry miss! Looks like you're already taken" The man smiled and continued his way to the store.
"If only he knew" Leila mumbled and walked inside the small restaurant. She found comfort in a seat near the window. Leila sat her handbag in the seat next to her and heard the waitress walk towards her.
"Hello miss, what can I get for you?" The waitress asked cheerfully,
Leila sighed and looked out the window, "I would like two eggs, three slices of toast, three strips of bacon, some hash browns, and two pancakes"
The waitress did her best to write down the large order and smiled, "eating for two I see?"
Leila's head did not move from the window, but eyes looked in the waitress' direction "What would you know?"
"Oh well...It's just that you look like you due anytime soon" The waitress smiled and turned to leave, "I bet your husband is very exited!"
Leila waited for the waitress to be out of view before she laid her head on the table in despair, "I hate this! Everyone thinks that I am pregnant to some wonderful husband! Dammit I can't take this anymore! D... i'm praying for your success! Kill that damn vampire and cut out his bloody cold heart!"
The sun continued to climb through the sky, but it was still very early. D pulled the reins of his horse to a stop, and dismounted in order to check its saddle.
"I told you that you should have gotten a new saddle!" Left hand spoke, "but you never listen!"
"Quiet" D pulled on the saddle strap to tighten it up, "We should be close to the town"
"Closer than you think! Look!" Left hand yelled
D quickly looked up and saw the dark hands of smoke moving their fingers in the sky. The source was coming from the direction of the town, "A fire?" D pulled on the saddle stap one last time and quickly mounted his horse, "do you suppose it is from the town?"
"I would say" Left hand could feel the strong wind of the horse's speed, "but the area mass of all that smoke is far too much to be coming from one house! It could be more!"
Leila finished her breakfast and rubbed her stomach in satisfaction, she lifted her handbag and walked toward the counter to pay for her bill.
"Did you enjoy your meal?" The waitress asked,
"Yes, thank you" Leila said with little emotion and reached in her handbag to get her money and placed it on the counter to sort out the amount. Leila handed the money to the waitress and her attention was suddenly drawn to the small television behind her.
We are now live at Sington where a simple house fire has gone completely out of control! The fire has spread to nearby houses and more began to ignite in other areas in the town! As you can see the entire town is in flames! Police and Fire fighters has reported that everyone has evacuated sington with only minor injuries. Fire fighters are now doing their best to get the fire under control and police are now trying to solve how all these fires started at once! Some say that terrorists may be involved!
"How terrible!" The waitress accepted the money and handed Leila her change, "I hope those terrorists are caught!"
"T-that's my town! I just moved from there!" Leila stammered,
"Well its a good thing your not there now!" The waitress said
"I gotta go!" Leila grabbed her handbag and quickly ran out of the restaurant.
D continued ride until he saw a large crowd of people in front of him. He looked ahead of them and saw a picture of hell.
"The whole town is on fire!" Left hand yelled, "Who could have started this!"
D slowed his horse and walked past the many townspeople who where standing in total shock and grief. They did not seem to notice D's presence, or care. D looked ahead at the still burning town. "I have a very good idea who started this!" D kicked his horse hard and began to ride into the burning inferno.
"D! You can't be serious! Turn back! Before we are turned into pieces of charcoal!"
D completely ignored Left hand's warnings "I know your in there Kurai Ichi... I can smell you!"
