All right peeps, this is where things start to get really fun! A new
character is thrown in, and now you'll begin to see the romance starting to
break into the story. Review as much as possible!
Leetho crept along silently, well, as silent as a person with clawed feet could move. He still wasn't used to moving around as quietly as he could be, having been sealed inside a stone wall for the past hundred years. He still looked 17 though, despite the attempts to make his appear ancient. Blame his father for thinking he was an invalid because he didn't have feathers on his arms. His dagger firmly clasped to his side, he tried his best to sneak up on this newest human to appear in his mother's lands. As he got closer, his heart plummeted as he saw the ears sticking out of the girl's head, not to mention the huge battle-axe she was carrying. Letting out a small chirp, he darted behind a tree as this other Hanyou whirled. Leetho gazed down at his feet with his twilight blue eyes and cursed his talons. Being half eagle demon had its advantages (he fingered the massive black wings sticking out from his shoulder blades ruefully), but you were announced by the clicking of your claws everywhere you went!
It was a chance he had to take. That ax would look nice above his mantle piece. Again, he glanced at the wielder, this time being able to see the other Hanyou's face.

Shane let out a deep growl, fangs bared as she swung around, looking for the source of the sounds and smells. That scent had changed from wet dog to a sort of musty smell, like that of a down pillow she used to have. Her eyes weren't good for the dark, and the fact that this person seemed to stay in the shadows wasn't helping.
Leetho gulped, and went paler then he already was, brushing his black hair out of his eyes impatiently. Suddenly, he didn't want to kill the Hanyou. He was at a loss. His father had ordered him to kill any humans or other Hanyous that were found when he was wandering the woods, and if any looked suspicious, to bring them straight home immediately. His eyes narrowed at the thought of his over-protective and over-bearing parents and spat bitterly, then slapped a hand over his mouth, as it had made a very loud splat as it hit the ground. He ducked, cringing slightly, and this action would save his life.
Shane swung around, as did her ax, accidentally cleaving the tree Leetho was hiding behind right in half, narrowly missing her would-be attacker's head. With horror, he watched a lock of his own ebony hair flutter to the ground, but he didn't dare move. This girl was tougher then he thought, and could swing that axe with a vengeance! The orphan, looking around and seeing no one, snorted and backed away, turning right around and heading towards a break in the trees.
Leetho couldn't believe his luck. That tree-slicing Hanyou hadn't seen him! And was going in the opposite direction! He let out a sigh of relief, standing as quietly as he could, looking around to make sure that this intruder didn't hear him and cleave him in half with that massive weapon. Glancing back at the tree that Shane had sliced, he went even paler. It was a clean slice, like a knife through warm butter, and not even the knots in the trunk had hindered its path. He grinned, thinking about how the Captain would thank him when he retrieved this demon for the small guard. He took to the air, knowing he'd be quieter in the air then on the ground. Shane didn't even know what hit her when she was knocked unconscious by Leetho's favorite weapon, a wooden club. Twilight blue eyes watched the 16-year-old girl crumble, blood starting to seep into that shimmering golden-brown hair.
The eagle Hanyou watched Shane crumble to the ground, and for the first time in all these years of killing people and bringing slaves in for his parents, he felt guilty.
Very guilty.

FWEEE! There's the second chapter! It seems that the hard-core Hanyou prince has gotten a little fling for this orphan! Things get really good in Chapter 3!
