Chapter 4

Damion sighed and closed her eyes she didn't want to tell, she must remain loyal to her master, but this was her lover not to long ago. Opening her eyes she looked straight at him, she noticed, in his eyes that this was about more than being a detective…it was something else that bothered him.

"You know very well that you won't get the answer by just asking…there's more to this than just finding out where Reiku is…I know you."

" Then you will tell Reiku to find another target…but he is to leave my mother alone!"

Oh…so it's your mother he's targeting…I see. This is about protecting your mother. I hate to tell you this but I can't tell him what to do. He'll do it even if I tell him not to and find another target."

"Then I'll find him and make him stop…my mother will NOT be endangered by this."

"You're that protective are you?"

"Yes. She is me mother after all. I will not just sit back and watch him drag her in…she will not end up like all the other corpses."

'I wish he loved me that much…to protect me at any cost and love me 'til the end…I can't believe I threw it all away. I was a fool…No! I'm a vampire now…we are on opposite sides of the scale…besides he doesn't even want me back…I wish he did though…I still want him so much.' Damion thought as she looked into his emerald green eyes. She had to look away before she got to lost in them.

"Well, you are just going to have to find your own way to Reiku…but it wont be through me."

"Damion…"

She let a shiver go through her spin as he said her name…no whispered it…it almost sounded pleading. Looking up at those emerald green eyes, and nearly fell weak in the knees… 'Those eyes…those beautiful eyes. They look so…so…'

"Damion…please. I don't want my mother to get hurt…much less involved in this. Tell me where he is…or tell him to stop…if you don't," His voice grew serious all of the sudden, " Than I will find him and personally make him stop."

She was fighting a big conflict in her mind, she didn't know what to do. 'Should I tell him…should I talk to Reiku about another victim…or should I just let him find Reiku on his own. I want to help him…but…Reiku. I can't betray him…but Kurama…'

Kurama watched as Damion thought about it. He saw the conflict in her eyes, and wanted to help…but he didn't say a word. He be came more focused and listened to what she had to say as her beautiful lips opened to say something.

"I can't tell you where Reiku is," Kurama was about to say something, but Damion held a hand up, "But you may follow me…it's not exactly like I'm telling you is it?"

"Why can't you just tell me?"

"It's either follow of find him all on your own."

With that she opened her door and shut it. As she started the car she looked at him and gave a small smile…she knew that he would follow, he cared about his mother too much…she started the car and pulled out of the parking lot. She softly prayed that he would follow, she wanted to see him again.

Meanwhile

Hiei dropped the chains to the ground and looked around the dungeon. He crept to the door and looked around. Pushing on the door…surprise and strange…and yet convenient. The door was unlocked.

" Damn idiots…I can't believe they left the door unlocked."

He was about to leave when a thought hit him, ' Why would they leave the door unlocked…they must know that I would find a way out of the chains…so why would they leave the door unlocked…they must be expecting me to leave…I have to be careful.'

He slowly stepped out into the narrow corridor, a chilly breeze brushed against his exposed skin. Shivering slightly he looked around for a clock of something. Spotting a black clock (A.N. Convenient…no?) hanging on the wall nearby. He quickly snatched the cloak and slipped over his shoulders. Feeling warmer he quickly dashed down the corridor and looked out ahead…a long dark hallway. 'That figures…damn what is with long dark hallways. Damn it I hate these things.'

He quickly ran ahead to the nearest door. He was going to find Reiku and kill him before all of this got out of hand. He wanted to go back to his life and not waste on some lame vampire that wants to rule the human race. He was in no mood. He opened the door. A bedroom…a nice bedroom. It was a light shade of red and had black trimming. There was a large set of window doors that lead to a balcony…but you could hardly see, because black drapes hung in front of them. To the left of the doors were two more tall doors, but these were wood doors, doors that had nice carvings on the front. The handles were golden and curved at the tip. More to the left was a bookcase that obviously held many different types of books. To the left of the bookcase was bed. The bed was King size and had black bed coverings and red sheets. The covers where a dark red with black trimmings all the way around the ends. The pillows were the same as the covers. A black veil that traveled all the way around surrounded the whole bed.

Stepping inside He noticed that the floor was carpeted. The carpet was another shade of dark red. Walking further inside he looked around some more. He didn't know why…but he was drawn to this room. It wasn't long before a voice stopped him.

"I knew it wouldn't be long until you found your way here."

Whipping around Hieis' eyes narrowed and hissed out her name, "Austin…"

Smirking she made her way to him, her hips swaying and her black hair cascading behind her. She wore a black strapless dress that hugged her chest and figure until it reached the end of her thighs and sprayed out, swaying with her hips. He stood there, partly in awe and partly in surprise.

"Do you like it? I picked it out to where for you."

"Humph…I doubt that."

"Don't it's true…I did. To tell you the truth…this damned thing is as uncomfortable as hell."

"I don't see why you'd where such a thing…especially for me."

"Really now…don't try to be modest we both know how hot and sexy we are…I just like to show it off and you hide it." She said the last sentence while taking his cloak off and let it fall to the floor. She then traced her finger up his neck and then down to the collar of his shirt. His hand snapped up and grabbed her wrist then knocking him down she kissed him. This time though, he didn't try to pull away…surprising him self and her. He slow started to kiss her back. He tried to resist…but her kisses, they were just so addicting that he didn't want to pull away.

He looped his hands around her waist and pulled her body towards him. She looped her arms around his neck and let him kiss her. ' God…he still kisses like a God would kiss. I forgot what it was like to have him kiss me this way…I forgot…how…much…I… love…him.' She let him deepen the kiss and gave a soft moan as she felt his hand travel up her back onto her shoulder. Her hands went up his neck and into his hair.

Hiei surprised her when he flipped her over. She opened her eyes to look up at his alluring crimson ones. They held a fiery passion…a passion that she knew as built and ignited by her. Hiei looked down into her red eyes thinking, 'What the hell am I doing? I hated her and…and…and now I'm kissing her. I can't do this…but I want her so bad. I don't know what the hell I'm getting my self into…Yes. I want her and I'm not going to leave something started unfinished. I'll stay…but only for awhile.' A kiss changed his mind to stay just a little longer. After all what a few hours with Austin do…It's not like has something important to do.

Outside the Mansion.

'Well this certainly looks inviting…a long dark hallway…perfect.' His Emerald eyes glanced around the long hallway. The darkness was blanketed on the walls and floor. He carefully made his way towards the long dark hallway. The whole mansion was a maze. He would have kept following Damion…but she lost him back at the entrance, but little did he know that he was being watched.

"Keep walking Foxy…it won't be long now." An evil person grinned, showing of long sharp vampire teeth. His gray colored eyes that were full of lust…a lust for blood. This one had a little of human and demon blood. A delicious combo. He licked his lips as the redhead stopped in front of a door. "Perfect. I'll be waiting Suuichi." With that the vampire disappeared.

Kurama slowly opened the door. He couldn't sense anything…but that doesn't mean that no one is in there. He narrowed his eyes and cautiously stepped inside the room. He just wanted to glance around to see if Reiku was in there. The first glance he saw nothing so he stepped further in the room. When he reached close to the middle of the room the door slammed shut behind him.

"What?!" But before he could turn around something grabbed his wrists from behind.

"I didn't think the fox demon would make such a dumb mistake as walking into a dark alone."

Kurama softly chuckled and softly smiled. "I knew you were behind me…which is why I came into this room. To Draw you in."

"What?"

Before the Vampire could do anything the rosewhip was wrapped tightly around his wrists and harshly pulled them together. Crying out the vampire released Kuramas' wrists and glared at Kurama, whom hovered above the fallen vampire.

"Tell me where I can find Reiku… and I'll spare your life."

"Go to hell!"

"Have it your way."

Kurama bent down and placed a seed on his chest. Saying a soft chant the seed slowly sunk into his chest. The vampire gave a small screech and then started to scream as vines protruded out of his skin and wrapped around his entire body. It muffled his screams as it wrapped around his face. After awhile the vampire quit screaming as his body fell silent.

"May Koenma have mercy on your soul."

As Kurama stood up two thick and arms wrapped around his waist pinning his arms at his sides. Gasping in surprise Kurama turned his head to see his attacker, it was the gray-eyed vampire that had just attacked him.

"But how? That was supposed to kill you!"

" Really? It's a shame that that was a copy…I knew that you would know I was in there so I put a copy to distract you so I got to sneak in. You are so easily distracted."

" I should have known…that was a pretty clever trick."

" You may be clever, but not clever enough!"

Kurama gave a surprised gasp as two sharp fangs sunk into the crook of his neck. The vampire softly chuckled as Kuramas' blood seeped into his mouth. Kurama tried to struggle…but not having his whip and not being able to reach his seeds, there was nothing he could really do. Kurama tried to gasp for air…but with his blood being drained there was nothing he could do. Closing his eyes he felt himself become light headed, he could hear his heart beat slow, his leg muscles gave way.

The vampire smirked, but decided to stop…he didn't want to kill the fox demon just yet. His arms released the boy as he pulled his lips away from Kuramas' neck. His gray eyes followed the redheads' body as it fell to the ground.

"Sleep tight Suuichi…your gonna need it."

With that he picked up the boys' limp body and threw him over his shoulder and walked out of the room.

Scene Change!

Austin slowly opened her eyes. She stretched her body and looked on the right side of her. A slow smile fell on her face. Hiei was fast asleep, on his back. One hand on his stomach the other beside his head. His lips were slightly parted as soft breaths came from him. The moon shone from the window and drifted onto his chest and well built abdomen.

"He…he looks so peaceful…I love the way he looks."

She brushed some raven bangs out of his face. She tilted he head to the side. She caressed his face her hand traveled down his neck and rested on his shoulder. She lay her head on his shoulder and closed her crimson eyes and pulled the covers around them both. She wrapped her arms his waist, before falling back into a wonderful sleep.

A.N. End! For now anyway. I hope you enjoyed this. More to come! Until then review,review,review!
