Chapter Ten: New Plans
Marth looked down at the two kneeling Yukai. One was red and the other was blue. He looked down at them and frowned.
"Two humans in a backwater town, in the middle of nowhere were not only able to repel our common soldiers." He paused. "But now they've bean and sent running two of Lord Darkon's four generals!" He exclaimed.
He slapped Densil in the face and then grabbed hold of Ansul by the collar and through him roughly onto the ground.
"Morons, both of you!" He screamed. "You can commit genocide, but you stop two goddamned humans!!!" He raged, but then through up his arms. "You both should be ashamed! Your demons- the lords of men, they are nothing more then our servants and whores to command!" He added.
By now, the demon brothers were back up and still on their knees and looking at Marth in terror.
"But now you've gone and let them see you bleed!" He yelled, practically seething. "Just imagine what might happen in word of this reaches the other towns?" He asked, almost giving off waves of pure fury. "Needless to say, we can't have these humans start to believe in such things as hope." He finished, managing to calm himself down. "If you kill hope, then you kill them all." He added with a smile. He turned his back to them. "I grow weary of your presence, get out of my sight."
Ansul and Densil both got up onto their feat and ran out of the room.

Hiei stepped back, but continued to tremble slightly.
"Are you alright."
He suddenly swung around when he sensed someone behind him.
Shera cringed for a moment as the small demon shot her a vicious look. Instantly he felt guilty as he saw her small frame shaking. He reached out and placed as hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." He spoke to her nervously.
She stopped and looked at him, but didn't say anything.
The demon took a breath and his shoulders dropped down as he relaxed. "Really, I'm fine." He told, taking on a tone was far to gentle for his own liking.
"I'm glad, Hiei." She replied with a smile.
He took his hand off of her and walked over to pick up his katana sheath from where he had thrown it down.

Kuwabara wiped the sweat off of his brow and took a protracted sigh. He looked up to see Lin starring down at him. She kneeled down in front of him.
"Are alright?" She asked.
"Who me?" He asked. "I'm fine." He replied.
"That was amazing, you're so powerful!" She exclaimed, happily. "You sent that creep running." She added as she brushed a few strands of hair out of her eyes.
He blushed slightly in embarrassment. "You think so?" He asked, trying his best to sound modest.
"Of course!" She replied as she hugged him suddenly.
Kuwabara started when she threw her arms around him, not expecting the 'glomp'.
He looked over to the side and spotted an overturned basket of clothes. "And she just finished washing those, too." He thought.

Marth walked into the same room as Thorn. "I've been giving some though to the events as of late." He began. "And I remembered that Linbrook is that same place that the last incident happened." He added.
"What's you're point?" Thorn asked, torchlight reflecting against his wild expanse of fiery red hair.
Marth crossed his arms. "I want you to go see Siegfried." He began. "Have him retrieve the 'Fallen' from the Valley of the Shadow of Death." He went on. "Linbrook is about to have a little visit from its native son." He finished.
Thorn watched the other Yukai walk away and then nodded his head.

Rain sat up and looked around, realizing that he was back inside his house, in his room. He slowly and cautiously climbed out of bed; he stopped and looked at himself in the mirror. His small frame was easily completely visible in the mirror's surface.
The pale skin of his bare chest and stomach were painfully obvious, as was way bony shoulders and small waist. He brushed his pale blond hair out of his face. He frowned at his gaunt form. "Am I dying or living?" He asked his reflection. "Or is it both?" He then asked.
He glanced over at the door and slowly climbed out of his bed. He pulled his long white cloak and slipped his shoes on.
***
Bohen and Shera were standing in the front room of the house, talking with Dr. Hawkins.
"Excuse me."
Everyone turned around to see a pale Rain standing in the open doorway.
"Has anything happened while I was asleep?" He asked placidly.
"The town was attacked." Shera responded.
Rain looked at her fondly for a moment. "I thought so," He began. "I felt the attack when I was asleep." He finished. He looked at Bohen. "Could you bring Hiei and Kuwabara here, need to tell them something." He announced.
~End of Chapter Ten~
Well, it looks like its back to business as usual. This chapter was interesting to write, mostly because it focused on certain aspects of the story that I was looking forward to. I'm happy to be able to bring Rain back into the story, as I feel that his character has a lot of depth to it.
