Lighting dances across the night sky. Screams echo though a castle surrounded by small run-down cottages.

"This is what they send!?" Kyo bellowed in disbelief, holding a girl over a large pit. Her body is limp like a rag-doll, her hands bound together at her back. "When will Big Mama see that we're not to be taken lightly!" his black jacket fights to say in place as he shakes her in anger, the white shirt beneath seeming to glow against the coats darkness . Kyo ran his eyes along the unconscious body, "Youth. Beauty. And now nothing," he muttered, flinging the body into the pit. As she hit the bottom, there was a sound like that of old bones breaking, proving that she was not the first to meet this end.

"These are the ones who defeated Zaha Torte," Toshiya reproached "Don't dismiss them lightly," He glided through the looming darkness around them, his long blue dress leaves no trail in the dust. "Perhaps they seem weak, but together they make a formidable team," A strand of his perfect blue hair fell out of place. Toshiya leaned against Kyo's delicate seeming shoulder and pressed his lips gently to his ear. "It won't be easy to defeat them, " he whispered.

Kyo did not answer, nor did he move. He seemed calm now, lost in his thoughts. Inside the pit a strange looking creature moved slowly, looking for its dinner.

"I thought they defeated hide," a new voice asked.

"No that was X-Japan," Totchi explained as Shinya walked out of the darkness to stand next to him, listening quietly as the other told the story. He was almost as beautiful as his friend with his long blonde hair, black leather dress and matching high boots.

"Where is Die?" Kyo interrupted impatiently.

"He is looking for the next chosen one," answered Shinya, turning his head. "He should be back before the nights ends."

"Very well, how many more do we need until the beast is full grown?"

"About three more soul gems should complete the spell," said Toshiya after giving it some thought.

"Then the last two will be those Sorcerer Hunters," a wicked grin curving his lips.

"Are you sure that would be wise?" asked the blonde haired boy, trying to look calm.

"It will be a challenge worthy of us. Besides, its only fit that we restore the beast with the people who imprisoned it," Kyo answered.

"We will set up camp here," said Gateau firmly. "Marron, come with me to find some fire wood. Carrot, you set up the tents." "I'll go to the stream and find some fish for dinner," Chocolate finished, still filling bad about what happen to Carrot.

The boy was covered in bandages thanks to Tira's punishment. Tira was feeling bad after Maron's explanation so she started to help Carrot with the tents. "Carrot, I'm sorry," she whispered to him.

"It's okay Tira," his smile seemed as bright as always, but nothing else was said by either of them for a while.

When they were done Carrot rose to his feet. No one had arrived yet. "I'm going to see what is taking them so long."

"Okay," she answered, lowering her head slightly. She still felt still too guilty to talk with him.

Cautiously he walked into the woods, letting a sudden smile cross his face. "Finally they are gone," His nose searched frantically as he caught the scent, "PRETTY WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" In a blur of speed Carrot ran through the forest, stopping when he entered a clearing, "She is around here somewhere,"

There was a cliff rising just as his left and he stood at it's base, his eyes searching frantically. "I know you are here. Where are you my pretty?" a small piece of dirt landed on his head and with a smug smile the Sorcerer Hunter looked up.

There on the top of the cliff was a man. In his arms was the prize Carrot was after. A young woman of no more then eight-teen years. Her face bury in to man's neck. Arms laying limp at her sides. The girl managing to stand thanks to man's well developed arm around her waist. His other hand holding the bight stone with the image of the girl in side. "Now there is only two left," he said to no one impartiality.

"How dare you!!" Carrot bellow. "To have the world loss's a beauty as hers," tears started to run down Carrots face. "I can to forgive you." Carrot pulled his sword out of his belt, raised up the small trill go to alter this girl's destiny. "Give me that stone!" Carrot sword cut throw the air.

"You dare change me," Die laughed holding up his hand.

Carrot's sword stoped in mid strike. "What the HELL! I can't move it," Carrot pulled at his sward.

"I control all Metal. I am the Sorcerer, Die," an evil smile cossed his face.

(What am I going to do? ;; )

A burst of sliver power spilled form Die's hand. The sword ripped it self form Carrots hands and hovered then turned to face Carrot. The tip of the sward now dangerously closet to his neck. "Now you die,"

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Late me help you with that?" Gateau, reached over and graped the branches.

"Thanks."

"Marron, you know we haven't had any alone time for quit sometime. Maybe we could you... you know... Have some fun?" He pulled at the callor of this shrit.

Marron walked up, beathing deeply trying to take in his beloved's sent. "You know your right. It has been quit sometime," His finger tracing paths in the muscles. "It is a slenped night out. We sould real make the best of it." Kissing up the side of his shoulder.

"I love you, Marron." Fire wood hit the ground.

"I love you, too."

Gateau riped off his shrit.

"Your quit good at getting your close off, you know."

Gateau started at the buttons on Marrons shrit, "I'm even better at getting yours off."

"Gateau, and I have found some fire wood. It should last us though the night," Marron glanced around their camp site. "Where is my bother?"

"Well you were gone so long and... Well... He went to find you."

"Tira, how long has he been gone? "

"Only about thirty-mints, Marron. Didn't you see him," Tira could fill the tightness around her heart. She know something was not right.

A scram ring from the forest.

Marron turned to the forest, in a fit of speed he ran "BOTHER!!"
