Chapter Four
Fang was playing another round of Lucky Seven when he caught the smell of a famliar honeydew scent. With an evil smile he got up. Of course it was after he won 500 rubies.
Hana was walking through the crowd. She didn't know where she was at. Too many demons, too confusing for directional knowledge. She stopped when a strong grip held her arm.
"Hello princess." Fang said. "Where have you been?"
Hana glared at him, her back facing him. "Let go of me."
He smiled even more. "Why don't we take a walk outside, hm?"
"Hana?" Kurama voice rose in the crowd. He spotted her and Fang.
The grip on her arm tightened. "Lets take that walk." She stummbled with the half push, half walk Fang was making her do. Kurama ran after them the best he could do.
Once outside Fang opened his bat wings, taking to the air. There was a cliff dive a hundred yards to the left. To the right there was a forest. He flew over that. About mid-way he closed his wings, free falling down to the dense forest. All the while Hana was trying to free herself.
"Promise not to scream?" He asked before letting his hand away from her mouth. "You do and I won't hesitant for a minute, if you get my meaning." She nodded. "Good. That's what I want to hear buttercup."
Hana pushed away from him. "I'm not a buttercup, or princess for that matter." She brushed some leaves off her. "Not anymore anyway." It was more to herself then to the bat youki behind her.
"Where have you been then?" He demanded. "You were suppose to bring us that bounty we wanted. Instead you ran off and disappeared." He walked over to her. "Baedden has calmed since."
"Two years. You don't give up do you?" She asked turning to him.
"Half demons are expensive and the black market would pay anything to the holder of one. Why give up the search."
She looked at him. Was he still on the hunt for her. If so, what was he going to do? She was between a rock and a hard place. Or an unforgiving tree and Fang. "How's that hunt going anyway kitsune?" He whispered in her ear. "You're trembling, so I'm guessing it failed. You failed." She went to slap him. "Uh huh." He took her small wrist in his hand. "I'll break it."
"I want nothing to do with..."
He pressed lightly on her throat. "What is that? I can't quiet hear you." He stood there enjoying himself. "Heres the deal Hana, you find me my bounty and I'll promise not to hand you to the market." Her maroon eyes held anger and fear. "Hm?"
"Fang! Let Hana go." A cat demon jump from another tree.
Fang sighed in annoyance, letting Hana drop to the ground on her feet. "Look what the cat brought in, and I mean no pun on that Keegan."
He help Hana up. "You ok?" She nodded.
A whipped cracked making the three demons turn. Kurama was fifty feet away and not letting up.
"If I don't get my bounty, someone is going to pay."
"Let up Fang."
"Stut up Keegan. Why don't you go check in with Baedden. He'll like to know what we found." Fang turned back to Hana.
"Hana!" Kurama called.
"You know who I want princess. Get him, and your off the hook...forever." He lifted off the ground and was out of sight when Kurama entered the clearing. But not before dropping a small blue packet that exploded in front of Hana.
"There you are." He ran over to her. "Are you ok?" He noted her shaking.
She looked up at him, vision blurred. "Kur..ama?" She asked before falling into him.
