The Fox glared at the demon with his terrible dreads entwined around the human. Damn. He swore to himself.

The demon got off the girl, and stood. His hair was alive as it slithered around him, and picked the girl up. She had gone unconscious, hopefully.

The demon leveled his fiery stare with the Fox's deceptively calm one, and spread his lips in an awful grin. "She's mine." The demon rasped with a light laugh. And then a wave of anger washed over him, and his eyes went ablaze again. "There's nothing you can do. Get out of my way."

The Fox stood his ground, just watching this unstable demon, reading his moves. He was ever conscious of the serpent locks that held the girl captive. Carefully biding his time...

The lack of movement or emotion from this opponent made the demon enraged. He was becoming impatient, and wanted the kill. So he commanded his hair to bundle up the human, but to have a little fun, he made the lock wrapped around her neck tighten, causing her to whimper in her oblivion.

The demon watched the Fox's eyes dart from him to the girl when she let out the groan. He grinned that awful grin again, knowing full well he could kill the girl before the Fox got to her.

But the Fox's eyes narrowed, not even lasting more than a millisecond, and he was gone. The demon let out a lash of explosive energy in the vicinity of where the Fox had been, but to no avail. He could still feel the presence of something.

Suddenly, there was another crack of a whip, and pain raced through the hair holding the human to the demon's head. He hissed in angry pain, as his energy crackled around him. He snapped his head around to see the Fox land with the partially bundled human, and lay her on the ground behind him.

The demon lunged at the Fox when he was standing, enthralled by his rage. The demon's face became a hellish mixture of beast and human features. He had fangs that were razor sharp, and a vicious expression. His eyes burned with anger and power. He was throwing all of his strength into this.

The red haired Fox rose his head to level his stare and vanished. Only to reappear, and meet the irate apparition halfway.

He slammed into the demon, in one gruesome assault. He could feel its' rage, its' power.

But he had more.

He felt the burning of the demon's energy on his skin, felt him trying to blast through his mind's barriers, but his youko self stood at the gates.

The demon snarled with rage as he lashed out, tearing with his claws and trying to sink his fangs into his opponent's throat.

The Fox let up a little, allowing his enemy to have the illusion of winning. Then he brought his arm up at lightning speed, and with a growl of his own rage, jabbed the flat of his palm into the demon's forehead, forcing the seed of his Death Plant into the creature's skull.

The slithering locks that had tried to grow back, and entangle him retreated, and the fire in the demon's eyes began to smolder, as purple blood began to ooze from the gaping hole in its' forehead. The vicious expression had turned stunned as the beastly features disappeared, and the limp body fell backward.

The Red-haired Fox turned from the molten body already with a seedling growing from its' victim, and looked towards the human girl. He noticed her clothes were cut up in a few places, and she had some blood stains on her shirt.

Alarmed, he ran over to make sure she wasn't dead. There was agash on her throat where the hair had been.

That bastard. He swore angrily. His serpent head had fangs too. He collected the critical girl, and ran with his Fox speed to the one place he could think of, that there wouldn't be any problems.

ok, yes, I know that you all want longer chapters.

You're all going to be angry with my for a while.

I think the next one MIGHT be longer, but there's no telling.

Muahahahahahahaha!

And, here's a mini history lesson for some of you.

Legions.

Kenshin, if you would please read this...

Kenshin: Legion; noun; any various honorary or military organizations.

Kurama: A Legion is a very large group of people, usually referred to in the Military sense. 'Legions' wouldbe the plural, thus signalling many very large military groups.

Ackie: Julius Ceasar had Legions. That was what the Roman Army was made of. That is why they conquered basicallyall of ancient Europe.Lucivar, you commanded legions.

Lucivar: Yes, many Eyrien Legions. (gets crazed look in eye)

Ackie: Basically, you are my tools to kicking everyone's ass. Only, I am your Admiral, therefore, we will beat everybody up with our ships in the Sand Navy.

Don't question my authority.

Merci./Gracias.
