Chapter Two: An eye for an eye Sister.

Badger Town (Northern Gate)

Clashing of steel against dead flesh and hard nails could be heard from a northern hill about a mile away from Badger Town. If one had good eyes sight they would be able to make out the Dead swarming around five figures and perhaps they would recognize four the Dead Lords if they were wise in the way of travel. If one had exceptional sight, then they could make out the whole battle. They could center their sight on the specific prey that they were trying to catch. The one watching the battle from the northern gate at Badger Town was someone with exceptional sight.

Golden and brown hair flew out in all directions as the wind played with her hair and the hair of her troops. Icy blue and green eyes locked on the vampires that had assisted the two girls on the hill. Most people would have believed that the vampires must be somewhat good since they had helped out the girls, but then again most people were fools therefore what they believed did not matter. The two girls who stood at the gate were paladins. Holy warriors who have sworn to destroy all hellish creatures. Golden and silver armor would assist them in their quest and their holy faith in the temple would keep their spirits high. They would not falter in their task.

"Haruka-sama should we move out and engage in battle? Or should we take these thieves and have them repent for their sins?"

A woman of slim build with short blond hair and deep blue eyes turned towards the woman with green eyes and brown hair. Haruka looked past her second in command to analyze the destruction that the thieves and murderers had brought upon themselves when they had interfered with the paladins' chase of the vampires. Most of the scum were still alive and she supposed that with the proper training they could actually be useful to the Temple.

"Gag them, chain them, and then send them off to the Temple to repent. However leave that job to Quatre, Setsuna, Hotaru, Michiru, and Mamoru. The rest of them will come with us to capture our prey. Inform the others of the plan Makato." Haruka odered as she waved a dismissive hand towards Makato and went back to watching the battle.

"My Lady, one more thing. What will we do with the girls?" Makato asked.

"We'll kill them."

"The priestess, too? Even though she has already dedicated her life to the Temple?" Makato pressed.

"You must understand Makato. One can not be holy when one has spent time with such hellish creatures." Haruka explained.

"Then we are not holy?"

"Inform the rest of the plan, Makato."

Haruka watched as the brown haired woman bowed and walked away to complete her task. Once the woman was out of sight Haruka slowly released her sword from her death grip that she had put it in when Makato had suggested that they were not holy. Of course they were holy. They had been anointed by the Temple to do this job. Besides the girl that that priestess was of no use to them, they need holy warriors, not little girls with little pieces of papers.

Back with Rei and Aki

Rei wished that she were anywhere other than on a hill fighting demons. Her arms burned from wielding a her sword, her eyes stung from the sand that the Dead were constantly kicking in her eyes, and her nose was screaming as different fumes from the Dead assaulted it. She sighed as she turned to face yet another dead creature with sagging skin and missing body parts. Without giving the thing a glance she drove her blade clean across, severing its head.

A loud wails to the south of her told her that another Dead Lord had become dead again. She smirked, thinking that her sister had killed another Dead Lord. However that thought soon left her mind as she was thrown to the ground by the flying body of Aki. Hastily Rei scrambled from under her dazed sister and began pushing back the Dead that had tried to swarm over them while they were down.

"Aki get up!" She yelled.

Out of the corner of her eye she watched as Aki jumped up and began to cover Rei's back as they continued to fight the ever-increasing number of the Dead. Quickly her tired eyes looked up at the sky and she was happy to see that the sky was beginning to light up. She would even go, as far as to say that daylight was only about two hours away. Looking towards the north gate of Badger Town she was surprised and slightly worried to see five figures making their way towards her and her sister.

"Aki cover me." Rei odered.

"Huh? Why?"

Rei ignored her sibling as she stood perfectly still and began to chant as she let herself fall into a trance. After a moment Rei allowed her mind to seek her element of fire. Looking into her inner fire she silently asked the fire what she and her sister should do. Rapidly images of icy blue eyes, smoke, people dying, the Dead, burning eyes filled with fire, and fangs filled her to the point that she was sure that she was going to collapse due to how heavy her head felt. Quickly she withdrew from her mind and grasped as the cold wind whipped across her hot face.

"Rei?"

Looking into the gray eyes of Aki, Rei noticed that the sun was shining and that the Dead were gone. Looking around the hill that they had been fighting on Rei also noticed that they were not alone. Standing about a foot away were three boys who looked around three years older than she was. Each of the boys were looking at her though Rei found her eyes focusing on the boy who was standing slightly in front of the other two.

"They helped us out." Aki muttered.

"They're vampires." Rei pointed out.

"So?"

Rei rolled her eyes. Didn't her sister now what vampires did? Rei closed her eyes as she remembered all of the horrible stories that her mother had told her of vampires. Stories of pointless killing and the even more pointless wars that waged between vampire clans.

"They saved my life."

Rei's eyes flew open as she whirled around and pinned her sister to the ground. Ignoring her sister's yelling she pulled down the hood of Aki's cloak and inspected her neck. Satisfied that her sister hadn't been bitten she turned around and glared at three amused vampires.

"What do you want?" She asked.

The vampire that had been standing in front of the other two stepped forward, which in turned caused Rei's body to tense.

"Calm down we've already ate. We only want you to help us get rid of some padalins that have been hunting us down." He stated.

Rei raised an eyebrow. Help them take care of some Paladins? Are they nuts?

"Paladins? What are those Rei?" Aki asked.

"They're holy warriors. Basically they are the Temple's army." Rei explained.

"Friends of yours then?" Aki wondered.

"Hardly."

Rei whipped around to face the person that the cold voice belonged to. She was surprised to see a young woman whose eyes were the same as the ones that Rei had seen in the fire. Slowly Rei began to back away when she realized that this woman had a very twisted aura.

Aki slipped from behind her retreating sister and went to stand in front of the lady with the really shiny armor. The smart side of her was telling her that she did not want to get too close to this lady, yet Aki was curious. Just what is a paladin, anyway? Standing directly in front of the lady Aki tilted her head to the side as her sharp eyes studied the shining armor and the various little spots on it that Aki silently committed to memory.

"It's rude to stare."

Aki smiled as she redirected her gaze from the armor to the lady's ice cold blue eyes.

"I'm apologize. Are you a paladin?" Aki asked.

"Yes."

"What do you want?" Aki asked.

At this the lady smiled coldly as her gaze shifted from Aki to the three vampires behind her. Aki frowned, her mind finally realizing that padalins were not good people like her priestesses. No priestess or anyone with a good heart would smile like that. Aki stepped back as she began to recall the places on the lady's armor that she had pointed out during her inspection. Quickly Aki started to pay more attention to the three people behind the lady as she began to find the tell-tell signs that the padalins were about to attack.

"Aki!"

At the sound of her sister yelling her name the padalins came rushing her way. Without missing a beat Aki whirled around and started to run as she fiddled with one of her packs on her belt. Hurriedly she pulled out a few tacks and threw them behind her as he sister grabbed her hand, both of them running after the vampires in front of them.

Heero turned around and immediately wished that he hadn't done it. First he saw the determined eyes of Rei, then the calculating eyes of Aki, and then he saw a pair of eyes that held such immense hate that he could help but to wonder what he had done that was so horrible. Shifting his eyes back in front of him, he realized that if something didn't happen soon, the five of them would be dead before dusk.

Rei's thoughts were no better than those of the vampire in front of her. Here she was running from some crazed paladins who obviously were looking for a blood bath. A soft noise from her side made her look to see what her sister was doing now. Recognizing a small kunai in her sister's hand Rei's eyes widened. Just what was her sister planning to use that for?

"Aki what are you doing?" Rei hissed.

"I'm helping." Aki replied as she turned around and started to once again intently study the paladin's armor.

"It's illegal to attack a paladin." Rei warned.

"So? My whole profession is illegal, sister." Aki muttered.

Rei frowned since she couldn't argue with that. But still…

"If you attack them now we'll be charged with helping hellish monsters."

Aki turned to glare at her sister. "Do they look like monsters to you? Besides like I said, they saved my life. Papa always said never leave your debts unpaid, you'll always regret it later."

Rei was about to say something else when her sister turned suddenly and threw the kunai she had been fingering at the leader of the Paladins. Rei turned when she heard the kunai hit the paladin's armor followed by a sound that reminded Rei of glass shattering. Stopping fully Rei watch wide-eyed as the woman's armor fell into what looked like thousand of pieces. What had her sister done?

Seeing the murderous look the woman was giving her sister who was currently laughing, Rei quickly chanted a small enchantment and was pleased to see a flaming wall roar up between her group and the paladins.

"That is so freaking cool!" Aki breathed.

"Come on." Rei muttered.

Grabbing her sister's hand Rei ran to catch up with the vampires that were waiting for them a few feet ahead. Helping them wasn't so bad, besides Aki's father is right. She and her sister just might need them later on.
