Dark-Sephiroth: Why am I continuing this? Well, I said I wouldn't, but I was bored, and I got pretty good response to the last few chapters. Sorry for the delay for those of you who were following the story!

STORY

Kain and Cloud pulled into a small village just as night was falling. After a quick investigation of the car they drove, Kain discovered a small sum of money and the two decided to find some place that would put them up for the night. After a glance around they noticed a small hotel just off the road, and they drove in and parked just outside. The hotel seemed to be built of wood, but had two floors and didn't look too shabby. There seemed to be no lights on anywhere, bar a dim lamp burning in the doorway. For this Kain was thankful, his bizarre appearance was not something he wished others to be seeing. The two entered. An old man was half asleep at the counter inside, he received his guests uninterestingly. Cloud approached him.

''Yo, we're looking for some rooms for the night?''

The old man remained in a sleepy state but his eyebrows raised slightly.

''They be some weird costumes ye have on, stranger''

Kain nodded coldly.

''We are part of a circus''

''Indeed? Well, that be fine by me, two rooms is it?''

''Yeah.''

The old man nodded and reached into his pocket for a key.

''Here ye go, forth room on the right, just down that corridor there.''

Cloud and Kain took the key and headed off. The old man stretched and yawned.

''Ah've awoken now, ah may go check the local news.''

With that he pottered off into a backroom and switched on a TV set.

Cloud and Kain went into one of the two rooms and sat down on the beds. Cloud gave Kain an incredulous glance.

''Circus?!''

''I would like to see you think up something better.''

Cloud just laughed and stretched out on his own bed.

''Heh, whatever man, I'm getting some rest, see ya tomorrow.''

Meanwhile the old man who owned the small hotel was watching TV. He was almost falling asleep again when a sudden news flash caught his attention. There was a reporter at the scene of a terrible accident. Four government agents had been killed, two drained entirely of their blood by means unknown. Several people had witnessed, one had even managed to take pictures..............

Next morning Kain and Cloud woke. They had no idea of where to go, but they knew that remaining in the hotel would do little to aid their situation. The government would be searching for them and they would have to keep moving in order to avoid being caught. Perhaps they would find someone who could help if they went to one of the bigger cites? The two headed out to the car. On the way out Cloud went up to the old man and gave him the key.

''Here's the key, so how much will it be?''

The old man just shook his head.

''Nothing, it's ok. I'll get my pay all right.''

Cloud was greatly surprised.

''Nothing?! Hmm...well, ok man, free rooms it is!''

Kain regarded the old man coldly.

''Something seems suspicious about this, what reason do you have to show such hospitality?''

''Forget it Kain, we have no time, c'mon.''

Kain nodded and he and Cloud went outside to the limo. The two gasped in astonishment, Kain gasp hinting at his fury.

''Betrayal?! The old fool will die for this!!

Kain spun round and fired several telekinetic bolts at the entrance of the small hotel. The wooden structure collapsed instantly and the entire face of the building caved in. Meanwhile Cloud turned his attention to more important things and pulled out his sword. There were about five or six agents who had obviously came from the two limos in the background. Behind all that was an army tank type vehicle which was jet black, the same as the limos and the agents business suits. All the agents were wielding Desert Eagles except the front agent, seemingly the leader, who wielded two double barrel shotguns. The leader steeped forward and raised his guns.

''Mr. Kain. It seems that I must thank you. The late hotel owner was demanding quite an unreasonably high reward. You saved us the trouble of killing him ourselves.''

Kain drew the Soul Reaver, regardless of the weapons that the six agents held towards him.

''And I assume you wish us to save you further trouble and surrender now?''

''No, Mr. Kain. Actually, killing you would be far more enjoyable.''

''Yes, I could say the same thing, mortal''

Suddenly Kain leapt over to the agent and swung the Soul Reaver. The agent fired off both his shotguns at the same time. Kain was flung back with great velocity where he collided with the remains of the hotel, which collapsed and flattened like a house of cards. The agent began to reload his gun but Cloud lifted his sword over his shoulder. Several bullets flew towards him, missing by a fraction. Then Cloud swung his sword into the ground. A beam of energy tore along the ground, collided with the head agent then diffused and flew off hitting each of the other agents. Cloud then gathered his energy for a spell but was interrupted. A huge lump of burning metal struck him, exploded and sent him flying back into the hotel rubble. He had forgotten the army tank. The head agent lay motionless but the other five managed to stagger to their feet. The agent closest to the rubble took command.

''Search for the bodies. If they still live kill them before they regain their strength.''

The others nodded and walked forward. Suddenly they stopped in surprise. The body of the head agent lifted slightly, then his chest burst and his blood came flying out in a stream into the ruins of the hotel. The agents all pointed their guns at the source. There was a pause, then pieces of wood were sent flying in all directions as Kain leapt up. instantly all the agents fired but a sudden blue shield of light sprang up around Kain, blocking all damage. One agent pulled out a radio unit.

''Quick! Fire the cannon''

''We're still reloading, give us a moment.''

Kain suddenly crouched then leapt over to the tank in one leap. He grabbed the cannon in both hands, twisted it and bent it right back round on itself. Then he leapt back over to the agents. The blue shield sprang back up. More bullets fired but they were wasted. Sensing the futility of their actions the agents dropped their guns, pulled out knives and ran over to Kain. Kain grinned. As soon as every agent was within range he swung a huge 360 degree arc slicing all his enemies in two. As each fell to the ground, their blood was torn from them into the hungry vampires waiting mouth.

After the battle Kain heard a noise behind him and turned to see Cloud attempting to climb out from underneath a huge metal bar. He ran over to help his friend and soon he was on his feet. Kain seemed quite refreshed after his meal, but Cloud was weary. They looked around for their limo and Cloud cried out in dismay.

''It's wrecked! Crap, we'll never be able to drive it in that state!''

''Be calm Cloud, The agents have their own transport, we shall use that.

Cloud looked over at the two limos the agents came by, then his eyes wandered and noticed the gleaming black army tank.

''Hey, Kain, you think we could?........''

Kain looked at the tank, then his eyes widened in surprise. He had forgotten the agents controlling it. Suddenly about five more agents leapt out, this time with machine guns.

''Reinforcements?!''

Cloud sighed

''I'm wrecked man, this one's yours.''

Kain took hold of the Soul Reaver yet again, unsure if his luck in battle would still hold. The two sides paused for a moment, then suddenly a dagger flew through the air, piercing an agent right through the chest.

The thrower was a man in strange, medieval type clothes. He was now holding two daggers and had several more hanging from his belt. But his most distinguishing feature was his tail. Kain gasped in surprise.

''Zidane?! You too?!''

Several other people were with Zidane. The leader pointed towards the agents.

''Excellent! A quiet place like this is the perfect battleground. Ok guys, there's only six of them, lets finish this quick. Dark Angels, attack!!!!''
