Duo and Hilde walked down the road. The last few days had been *rather* uneventful. Walking, light talking, occasional rests, everything that goes along with walking. It was now nightime, and Duo was out getting some food. Hilde smiled still embarassed about the first time that they had eaten food from a forest just a few days ago.
~flashback~
Duo had come back with a large rabbit and a few wild vegetables. Hilde looked up and almost cried.
"Duo, what did you do to it? It was just a poor little bunny! It didn't do anything to you!!"
"Yea, but it will do something. Fill our stomachs." Duo said, raising an eyebrow.
"Wait, were going to EAT it??? Thats gross! Its raw!!"
Duo Rolled his eyes as he looked at her. Had she HONESTLY never eaten something not out of a store?
"Uh....yea! Its called C-o-o-k-i-n-g. You do it when stuff isn't already cooked."
Hilde made a face, and tried her best not to make any comments while he was cutting it up and cooking it. She also tried her best not to make a face when he gave her a plate of it, but found that it tasted rather good. She also noticed that Duo wasn't eating, but she shrugged it off. He usually ate while he was out, or so he said. She had learned not to contradict his answers, because it did her little good.
~end flashback~
Hilde looked up as he came back, but he didn't have any food. She was suprised at the look of concern and concealed fear in his eyes. He looked at her as he kicked some dirt over there fire.
"We can't stay here. Its not safe. Don't say anything, just follow me, ok?" He said, beginning to walk without waiting for her concent.
She sprinted to catch up with him. For walking, he sure was going really fast. Why, or what, was he so afraid of?? She didn't want to ask, so they walked in silence for about a half an hour, until Hilde fell to her knees.
"Duo, I can't go any farther without resting. Just give me a minute, ok?" She said, resting her tired feet as he sat next to her.
"It's ok, they probably wont catch up with us. I dont think they saw me." He said, before he even realized what he had said.
"Who??? Who is after you or saw you? Who??" Hilde asked, looking concerned and a little scared for him.
Duo smiled at her. "Don't worry, just rest. No one is after me, dont worry about it." He said, taking out a bottle of strange red liquid and drinking some of it.
When they got rested, Duo stood up, and held a hand out to her. Just as he turned to leave, a voice broke the deep silence of the night.
"So Duo, now your being nice to people? How kind, but it still wont save you." Said a calm, smooth voice.
Duo whirled around. Shit, had they found him?! He knew that voice, it was a vampire hunter. To be exact, it was his rival when he had been human. He knew he would like nothing more than to kill him now that it was legal. The worse part was, he would have won if Duo was human. But how much would his powers help him against someone who had been trained against all the new powers he had AND was stronger than him when it came to V. hunting techniques. Sure, he wasn't a lot better, but he was stronger enough.
Was this the end for him? No, It couldn't be. He still had to take Hilde home. And kill the vampire that bit him. And he would be Damned if he would let that bastard do whatever he wanted to Hilde, or let the Vampire go.
Duo Smirked. The fight was on, and he would win, even if it killed him.
