This is the 7th chapter to Love concurs all demons. Wow! I want to thank all my reviewers and readers.

Gavin's life giving liquid filled Hitomi's hunger it felt so wonderful it couldn't be put into words with every drop she felt more and more powerful she never wanted to let go. Gavin's body would twitch every so often; his eyes started to glaze over. The rage inside Hitomi finally started to calm she blinked a few times and pushed Gavin's body away from her she stood there in shock and fear.

'What have I done I swore I would never feed off another and I have, I'm no better then a monster.' Hitomi thought ashamed of what she had done, new powers started to awaken in Hitomi. She started hearing the heart beat of a small animal several miles away, the flapping of a bats wings coming toward her, she ran into the forest just incase the bat coming was Xerxes her speed as been increased ten fold. Hitomi remembered Van hasn't eaten his hunger will be growing quickly. Hitomi found a heard of dear grazing in field next to where she finely stopped, she attacked one of the bucks killed it then rushed back to the cave.

*~~~*

"Hitomi I was getting worried is everything alright." Asked Van who appeared that his hunger hadn't even bothered him but Hitomi knew better, he always was a bad liar. She smiled at him trying to look brave and strong so she wouldn't worry. She had to give him a few points for trying but she knew he was terrified inside. Who wouldn't be?

"Here Van, drink from this dear." Van sank his razor sharp fangs into the animals neck, he drank his fill. It broke Hitomi's heart to watch him she turned away.

"Hitomi are you alright?" asked Van. She turned around with a forced smile.

"Yea, I fine Van." Van looked shocked at something about Hitomi

"Hitomi what happened?" said Van taking a closer look at her

"What?"

"You eyes they've changed."

"What!" said Hitomi thinking of when she took Gavin's blood

"There are sparks of gold in them. What could have happened that changed them?" asked Van totally confused

"When I was out I ran into Gavin we got into a fight and I drank his blood." Van stood silent staring at Hitomi. She couldn't tell his he was happy or mad, what did it mater anyway there's nothing she could do to change it what's done is done.

*~~~*

The mysterious bat flying toward Hitomi was in fact Xerxes; Gavin was struggling to get up when Xerxes landed.

"Xerxes I'm glad you're here, I fought Hitomi she has to be close by."

"I will search for Hitomi but you will not."

"What do you meen?"

"Hitomi has drank your blood I can smell it all over you. And because of that she has become more powerful then ever before, you have been nothing but trouble sense I turned you, so I have come to rectify that."

"What are you saying Xerxes?"

"You are so blind by your rage for Van that you can't see anything but that." Xerxes slowly walked over to Gavin helped him and plunged a sliver dagger into Gavin's heart. Gavin turned to dust where he stood, sense Hitomi drank Gavin's blood it made him more susceptible to silver and being plunged through the heart with it would kill him, Xerxes stepped in the dust that was ones Gavin and started to track Hitomi.

*~~~*

Xerxes was trying to track Hitomi for several hours all he found was the occasional broken twig. Ruffling his hair in frustration I thought struck him.

'I could track her sent.' He transformed into a pitch-black wolf with blood red eyes, sniffing the air looking for her sent he found it heading deep into the forest, he took off running. His hunger for her fueling his energy, he couldn't explain it but the second he laid his eyes upon her he had to have her, make her his, to rule by his side for all eternity. Xerxes came to a dead stop outside a cave he sat in the shadows waiting for the perfect time to strike; he over heard Hitomi saying.

"Ok Van now that you've eaten its time for you to learn your vampire powers." Said Hitomi from inside the cave; Van had already gone outside waiting for Hitomi.

'If I'm going to attack I better do it now before Van can fully use his powers.' Xerxes slowly and quietly crept up behind the two lovers. Xerxes transformed back into human form and attacked Van; he kicked Van in the stomach hard forcing him to his knees gasping in pain, he hit Van in the back of the head with his elbow, Van fell unconscious. Hitomi ran out of the cave sword in hand after seeing Van fall, she jumped into the air and raised her sword above her head to cut off Xerxes head, Xerxes jumped out of the just missing the raiser sharp blade.

"Is that the best you have Hitomi? Such a disappointment, oh well after I kill your lover there and you return to me we shall work on you sword skills." Said Xerxes with an arrogant and sure of himself tone of voice.

"When hell frizzes over, will I ever return to you." spat Hitomi

"We shall see." Xerxes slowly pulled out his own katana and pointed its tip at Hitomi

"Are you ready young one?" mocked Xerxes. Hitomi took a protective stance over Van's unconscious body. At the same time Xerxes and Hitomi charged at each other, the sounds of their swords clashing rang through out the forest causing near by animals to scamper away in fear. Xerxes swiped at Hitomi's head attempting to cut it off, she bent backwards missing the blade she too attempted to cut off Xerxes head but he blocked her blade with his own. Xerxes tried to stab Hitomi in the stomach, she flipped over Xerxes's head, with lightning speed Xerxes whipped around and knocked Hitomi's sword out of her hand and spinning into a near by tree. Xerxes put the tip of his sword up to Hitomi's throat.

"Your still not as good as I child. Join me?"

"Never."

"Vary well." As Xerxes raised his sword to plunge into her stomach a wound that wouldn't kill her just enable her for a short time, but luck was not on Xerxes's side that night. For just as he was about to plunge the sword into her stomach another sword stopped Xerxes's and pushed it out of his hand. Xerxes looked over to see who had dared stop him from claming his prize. Xerxes's eyes widened in shock for Van had somehow awoken just in time to help Hitomi. With Van now awake Xerxes ran defeated into the forest for he know he could not defeat both Hitomi and Van.

"Are you alright Hitomi?"

"Yea I'm fine, but if we don't defeat Xerxes soon he will keep coming till he kills us." Said Hitomi

"Well if he is going to attack again. I should my power's."

"Right Van. Your powers are simple; you can change into two different kinds of animals a wolf and a bat all you have too do is picture yourself as one of those animals. Now to control someone's mind all you have to do is focus on a person and think of what you want them to do. Got it?"

"I think so, let me try it." First Van pictured himself as a wolf and transformed into a black wolf and did the same for the bat. To try his controlling powers they had to find a person first, so they changed into bats and flew to the closest town.

*~~~*

They found an older man walking home; Van concentrated on the man and said.

"Stop." The man immediately stopped, while Van was besy with the man Hitomi noticed the sun was rising Van would die from the sunlight.

"Van we must find a place to hide the sun is rising." They quickly ran to the nearest inn and Hitomi hypnotized the innkeeper to think they had paid for a room. Ones in their room Van closed the curtains.

"That was close." Said Van

"Yea." Sighed Hitomi

"Hitomi what's wrong?" asked Van concerned

"Xerxes is going to come after us after the sun goes down."

"I know."

"Then we only have one choice. We hunt him tonight and finish him ones and for all." Said Hitomi clenching her fist.
