Hi! This is the first chapter enjoy!!!!!
Okay
"Are words said aloud"
'Are thoughts'
Are beasts' thoughts
A panic-stricken tiger demon with golden eyes raced through the woods. Half of his ebony hair had fallen out of his bounding and his head band was no longer able to block the hair that now covered most of his face With his sensitive white cat ears, coming out from the hair, he could hear the pounding of feet, coming closer.
Ignoring everything wasn't easy, but the arrows that were coming his way weren't making anything easier. His blue Chinese clothing was torn because of the tree branches. An arrow was stuck through his left shoulder, blood flowing freely from the open wound.
His white tail was sore because of the rope that had been strangling his tail. He had managed to cut the rope but it didn't take away the soreness. He didn't have time to take the arrow out; they would catch up in a matter of minutes. He had to get away from those bounty hunters.
'Okay Rei bounty hunters are about to kill you. What am I supposed to do?' Rei mused while dodging an upcoming arrow.
FLASHBACK
Rei was sleeping on a top branch of a tree, that served him as a home. He awoke to the sound of banging.
"What the…" Rei was about to yell but what was said down below made him stop.
"I heard the people of Nico-" Rei perked up his hearing at the mention of his hometown. "-are putting a bounty on this demon thief for a hefty bucket of gold." The voice sounded very baritone, indicating that the owner was a man.
"Yes, I heard that he stole from the emperor and got away!" Another baritone voice was heard.
"You got to be kidding!" the first voice said, clearly showing the owners disbelief.
The men started walking away still gossiping. After they had gone, Rei jumped down from the branch. The men had put up a notice. Rei looked at the notice, to his utter astonishment the sketch on the notice looked just like him! He started reading.
NOTICE
A demon thief has been stealing from many in the village of Nico. He looks like this: (his picture)
If anybody could give the emperor the head of the demon they will be granted
10, 00000 gil
'They do this to me just because I stole the emperors' stupid little ring!?!?' Rei thought with outrage.
"There's our bucket of gold!!!" Rei turned around to see a whole gang of bounty hunters.
"Shit," Rei muttered and took off, the bounty hunters not far behind.
END FLASHBACK
That was one hour ago but they were still giving chase. Finally Rei had had enough. He stopped in an opening far away from the village. He turned and faced six bounty hunters. Two of them had bows and arrows while the other four had short swords.
"Okay let's make it even" Rei said to the hunters. He took his dagger that was in its scabbard. The bounty hunter gasped in amazement. This thief had Driger the legendary beast of Earth as a guardian bit-beast; furthermore he wielded the Driger Fang. A legendary dagger that chooses a demon worthy enough to use it.
"Surprised?" Rei asked smirking, his fangs visible under the sun "I'm the thief you are looking for alright, but I'm not going to die without a fight."
Rei closed his eyes and stood there focusing all his power to Driger, ignoring the hunters that were coming with their weapons. Suddenly his eyes snapped open, instead of its normal golden color, his eyes were bright green. He decided that these useless hunters didn't need to see him in his beast form. He will just slaughter them with his weapon. He growled and charged in with his weapon. Then all was black.
Two demons were walking aimlessly looking for prey.
The female of the pair was a fox demon. She had two light blue ears coming out of her silver shoulder length hair. Her eyes were of different colors, one being silver and the other blue. She wore a light blue dress and a white cloak was hung over her shoulders. Her cloak covered her long, bushy silver fox tail.
The other demon was a phoenix demon. He had two-toned hair with the front being grayish-blue and the back being dark navy blue and his eyes were of crimson color. He had unnatural blue triangles on his cheek, two on each side. He wore a black tank top with yellow beads on the sides; his jeans were a dark navy color. He carried two fiery wings that coming out of his back, which he could make disappear for a little while when wanted to. But he was letting them out at the moment.
"Kai!!!!! Where are we going?" the girl asked the older boy.
"To look for prey sis."
They had never traveled so far from their clan boundaries to look for prey on a spring day. Something was causing them to flee.
Suddenly Kai stopped. He smelled blood. "Come on, I can smell blood!" Kai took off with Silver Twig behind him.
"Oh my god…" Silver Twig whispered. Even Kai was speechless.
The scene was totally gruesome.
A lone tiger demon was standing in a clearing. He was the bringer of death to those hunters. The ground was littered with the bodies of the bounty hunters they were totally demented. The clearing was covered with blood.
Rei smelled a foreign scent. He turned and spotted Kai and Silver Twig, his bright green eyes still glowing.
They won't hurt you. Trust me Driger told him calmly. He sheathed his dagger and his eyes returned back to normal. He was about to run from them but the overwhelming darkness consumed him as he felt himself land into unconsciousness.
"We have to help him" Silver Twig stated. She ran to the fallen demon. "He's still alive. Hold him while I fix his shoulder." Silver Twig commanded.
Kai crouched down and put the demon on his lap. He held him closely so he wouldn't fall forward.
The moment he held Rei, feelings of longing, sadness, affection and something unfamiliar coursed through him like burning fire. The sudden feelings caused him to let go of Rei. Silver Twig caught Rei before he could land face-flat. "What was that for!? You could've injured him more!!!" Silver Twig said angrily.
"Sorry…" When Rei was back on his lap the feelings were still there but he ignored them. 'What just happened? Why can't I explain that other feeling?'
"Okay he's done" Silver Twig said, proud of her work. "Let's take him back to the clan. He seems homeless, anyways he might be quite useful, and we can always use another assassin. Ok then, I'll meet you back home; I need to collect some herbs."
She left Kai standing there, with an injured demon in his arms. He turned into his beast form, a magnificent phoenix. He was covered in shimmering red, orange and blue feathers. His crimson eyes missed nothing. He placed Rei on his back.
"He's very beautiful. What a catch I got." Kai murmured. He spread his wings and flew. High into the sky, flying back to Phoenix Clan.
