Carei's heart pounded faster as she bolted down the street. It was
deserted, but knew he was there. She could smell him. This only made run
faster and faster. Faster than any human could possibly could. I haft to
hide, she thought over and over. Carei blocked all other thoughts; she
knew if he caught her, she wouldn't live the night. She closed her eyes
focused on running. How is he back? He's dead. H's dead! Her eyes
filled with tears as blasted round a corner. She closed her eyes tight.
With all her might she tried not to think of what he would do once he
caught up to her.
She continued this despaired break until she hit someone. They both tumbled to the ground. "Carei? What are you..?" The stranger said as he stumbled to his feet.
"No! Get away!"
"Wait Carei it's me.." He managed to get that much as Carei gave him a sharp kick to the stomach and then to the head. "Wait. Wait..." He punched him in the jaw and then kicked him square in the chest.
"Ahhhh.." She screamed and furiously began hitting him. The stranger got up and grabbed her arm.
"Carei it's me!" He wailed. Her eyes met his and to her relief it was not him but Yusuke.
"Yusuke, thank god." She embraced him so that Yusuke began to gasp for air.
"It all right." He said as he held his head. "You kick pretty hard for someone who is only part demon."
"How'd you know I was part demon?"
"Uhhh." Yusuke froze. "Lucky guess...anyway what's wrong?"
Carei paused and began to sniff the air. Her then were again filled with fear. "We have to go..now."
"Wait what's wrong?"
Carei was desperately tugging on Yusuke to come with her. "Please he'll find us!"
"Who?" Yusuke said as he was passively resisting her tugs. "Who will find us?"
"PLEASE!"
"Carei wait..." She broke loosed of his grip and started running away. "CAREI."
He pursued her to end of the block. He grabbed her arm again to stop her. She tried to break away but he held her. "Wait is going on?"
"We have to hide," Carei gasped trying to pull away.
"From who?"
"Yusuke where is you're your house?"
"A mile or two from here but what is this.." She pulled hard and began to run.
"There's no time."
"Where are we going?"
"To the cemetery it will be harder for him to track us there." She picked up the pace. Yusuke was stumbling just to keep up with her. They arrived at the cemetery a minute later but didn't stop. Carei skillfully jumped any grave markers in their way while Yusuke, being dragged along, hit most of them. They headed straight for an old empty mortuary and went inside. Yusuke sat down on a couch that happened to be there as Carei barricaded the door. Yusuke by this time was abnormally confused.
"You're pretty fast." He said while panting. "Now who are running from?" Carei, holding a piece of a chair leg turned to him.
"Well.." she began but suddenly went cold stiff. She starred at a corridor that lead to a separate part of the mortuary and dropped the leg she was holding.
Yusuke turned to where she was giving her attention but saw nothing. "Carei?"
"Knew you'd go for the cemetery." a voice ran out. "You're so bloody predicable." Yusuke shot to his feet and began to look around. Out of that corridor he came. A not so tall man. He wasn't even that fierce looking. He dressed in black pants, boots, shirt, and really long black trench coat. He skin was very white and his voice was English. His shot hair was bleached white and sleeked back, even more so than Yusuke's. He didn't pay much attention to Yusuke but more to Carei. She backed slowly as he slowly approached. "What, no hug."
"Spike..." she stuttered.
"Ohh.so you remember me after all. I thought I didn't make that much of an impression. After all I only killed your brother, your first love, and any friends you really had and even though we barely know each other, you still remember me after I don't know love, 400 years."
Yusuke stepped in front of Spike. "I don't who you are but if you harm her I will.."
"Ohh.so you're the new bloody boyfriend."
"...boyfriend.no.."
"...so you don't love her."
"..she is my.."
".so your lovers..."
"..no.."
"Well make up your mind mate. I have to decide if I'll you or not."
"Look here you won't be killing anyone.."
"Oh yes I am mate."
"Well..you not going to harm Carei.."
"I am bloody hell going to do more than that. It is because of her that I spent 400 years locked away in that vicious little charm which you kindly broke for me and that is the only reason why I haven't ripped your head off yet."
"Why don't you leave now before I get angrier." Yusuke began to gather his spirit energy.
"Make me."
"I will!!!!" Yusuke threw a quick punch at Spike's head. Spike duck easily and returned with kick to the head and punch it the stomach. Yusuke fell back for a second and thought. He got me good I can barely he is still standing there. He dealt Spike a sharp kick to the head to which merely blinked.
"Is that all you got. Well.this is going end quickly." Spike spoke as he came close and elbowed Yusuke in the head. He went low and kicked Yusuke to the floor. He then kicked him three times and on the third Yusuke flew three meters into the air and spun four full rotations before he came back to earth.
Yusuke spat some blood on the floor. This guy is tough he thought. A sharp pain went threw his broken ribs as he struggled to his feet. Spike had brought out a pack of cigarettes and a newly acquired Zippo lighter. "Hey your shoes are untied," he said to a dazed Yusuke. Spike gave a sharp kick straight into his chest and Yusuke flew cross the room straight through the wall and into the cemetery. Spike look at Carei who had gone from a look of fear to an expression of vengeance. "Sorry about your boyfriend. He had some spunk the bloody bastard. Unusually heads would roll when I do that.
"What you look like you wish to kill me now."
"This is why we wanted you dusted. You were always like this."
"Now don't start that. You act like I betrayed you. Who were the ones that left me die at the hell mouth."
"You were just as bad as Angelus. You killed hundreds of people for food."
"Don't act like you haven't. It is what we are."
"Tillion never.."
"Leave him out of this." Spike was furious more than he has been in a long time. "This is partly why I hunted you. You were always ashamed for what you did all because of that petty human soul. I was just going to relieve you of it."
"Bullshit. You wanted me dead."
"Well let's you me have a go then"
Carei began by throwing a barrage of conventional kicks and punches and Spike was hard pressed to bloke them. Though she was not as strong as Spike was she more agile, she could get of a punch or kick faster than him. They fought out into the cemetery through were Yusuke abruptly departed. Carei had the upper hand until Spike caught her foot and pushed her into a marker. He then picked her up and threw her twenty meters into another. He jumped up into the air and landed directly in front of her. "You are not much bloody better than your boyfriend."
"OH really." Spike turned to see Yusuke standing there with his fingers pointed like a gun at him. "SPIRIT GUN!" A blue beam of light hit Spike and exploded. Spike was flew 25 meters before he hit the ground. "Hah, serves him right." He held his ribs in pain as he walked over to Carei. "Well he's gone."
"No..you must stab him with this through the heart to finish him." She brought out a wooden stake and handed it to Yusuke.
"Let's see you use that." Yusuke jumped back to see Spike standing right beside him with a large gash in his left chest. How did he? He thought as he charged Spike trying to trust the stake into his heart. Spike caught his arm and twisted back with ease. Yusuke whimpered in pain. Suddenly Spike was no longer normal. His eyes became a grim brown. His face was wrinkled in a way that struck fear into Yusuke. His teeth were replaced by razor sharp fangs. "I really hate it when people shoot me." He broke Yusuke's arm and swung him into a marker. Spike walked over to Yusuke, "Well mate its lights out for you." Spike brought out the railroad spike and prepared to impale the detective. Then a figure that had been observing them for the past minutes revealed himself. He drew a katana and prepared to slice Spike into pieces. Spike saw him coming but the figure acted with such lighting fast speed that he had not time to react. Spike was struck six times with the blade. The figure stopped ten meters from Spike and sheathed his blade. Spike fell to the ground.
"Am I glad to see you, Hiei."
Hiei turned to face Yusuke. "I have been watching you Yusuke and him...what is he?"
"I don't know. He doesn't look it but he is stronger than Toguro."
Spike began to stand to stand up. "What.." Hiei exclaimed in suspense, "How can he be alive."
"I told you. He can't die that way."
"You should have listened to the girl. Now you all will die."
Yusuke charged up his spirit gun while Hiei unsheathed his Katana. Spike starred them for a second and smiled. "I think you should leave Spike." said Carei. Spike laughed.
"I be seeing you again Yusuke." He jumped into the air and disappeared.
She continued this despaired break until she hit someone. They both tumbled to the ground. "Carei? What are you..?" The stranger said as he stumbled to his feet.
"No! Get away!"
"Wait Carei it's me.." He managed to get that much as Carei gave him a sharp kick to the stomach and then to the head. "Wait. Wait..." He punched him in the jaw and then kicked him square in the chest.
