CHAPTER NINETEEN

Morning, a few days later, came alot faster than I would have liked. Not to mention I was restless the entire time. Something just didn't feel right. While the rest of my small group ate some breakfast, I paced. Something deffinatley didn't feel right.

"Something doesnt feel right." I finally said out loud.

"And why do you say this?" Gekisen replied. He seemed a bit mellowed today.

"I dunno, its just....I dunno." I paced some more.

"At least eat something." Fenri seemed to order.

I paused and stared at him, "Giving me orders, eh?"

He smiled, "If you don't eat something, you won't last long." he held out a bowl.

I sighed, "Very well." I sat next to him and started eating.

I ate half the contents before I sensed something heading towards us. I jumped up, staring in its direction.

[Whats wrong?] Terepashi asked, looking around. Gekisen and Fenri were doing the same. I dropped the bowl, growling.

"Circes whats-," Fenri said just as I was tackled to the ground.

I rolled, flipping my assallent away from me. It pounced on me once more, drawing blood from my left shoulder, and ripping my shirt wide open.

"My shirt! Your DEAD now...." I pounced on it.

"I think not my pretty. Master wants you.....ALIVE preferably." he snickered.

My eyes narrowed. [Better make this quick, vision is getting a tad blurry. *sigh* Why me?] I jumped up and over him, then swept his legs out from under him. He hardly reacted.

"Not very nice my pretty." he snarled, and was instantly on top of me, pinning me down.

I growled, "Who are you?"

"That is none of your concern my dear. Now, sleepy time!" he said, just as Terepashi knocked him over and off me.

[Never!] I heard him 'scream'.

"Damn mute bastard!" he growled at Terepashi.

[Well, now or never...] I sighed. My claws lengthened and I lunged, sending my hand straight through his heart. He howled in pain, slumped to the floor, and promptly died. Then the corpse dissappered, like it was never there.

"Not your everyday evil youkai." I mumbled, slumping to the ground. The blood from the Evil youkai's heart lingered on my hand. I lifted it to my nose, and sniffed at it. Smiling I licked my hand clean, ignoring the puzzled stares of all around me.

"Circes? What are you doing?" he placed his hand on my shoulder.

I growled, and nearly bit him.

"Stand clear of her...It seems she has fathers curse as well." Gekisen glanced at Terepashi.

I stood up, sniffing around, "What curse?" Fenri asked.

"Shes a Blood Berserker. The mere scent drives them berserk for a rare few, but the taste drives them into Berserker mode all too quickly, and she's smelled AND tasted blood. That cant be good."
