Author's Note: Here's Chapter Two of "The Answer To Her Prayers." Thank you all, for the lovely reviews!

This is Sapphire Lupe replying to Kama's review. Kama- You should read your own review. You have many errors within it, and so you should not inform Kagome13 for her bad grammar, because you are also a victim of it as well. If you do not like her story, then please, at all cost do not read it. We are all victims of grammar and spelling errors, so let that be a reminder to you and all of the reviewers and readers that are reading this. Thank you, that is all I have to say.

Now onto the story

The Answer To Her Prayers

By: Kagome13

Chapter Two

As he with drawled back into the realms of darkness, he looked down at the sleeping beauty he held in his arms, and studied her bruised pale visage.

'She must have fallen unconscious from the loss of blood.' He thought. It angered him greatly, that he had not been able to protect her from the harm that had been done to her.

Battousai brought the angel to the cemetery and carefully placed her upon the soft lush grass, weary as not to disturb her angry wounds. He then knelt down beside her broken form, and took hold of a dagger from his waist belt, and slit his wrist, as his molten eyes traced the droplets of blood that fell and stained the grass beneath him.

Sano barked his opinion about what his friend was about to do.

"She is dying. I must save her, Sano. She is my life mate." Battousai said, as he held his wrist up to her chapped lips, as he gently coaxed her to feed.

He was not human, but a vampire. Many of his own kind feared him as did the human race, and gave him a name. They called him, Himura the Battousai. They called his werewolf companion, Sagara Sanosuke; Sano for short.

Battousai continued to let Kaoru feed off of him. She began to cough his blood up, as it slid down her dry throat. That was his sign that she was finished.

Battousai was beginning to fell lightheaded and dizzy. Weakened and filled with a hunger for blood, he felt his inner demon raging to be set free, and surface to the top. He needed to go feed soon, before he passed out, and his evil side resurfaced.

"Sano watch the girl. I'm going to go feed."

Sano ambled towards the young woman, and plopped down next to her, trying to give her warmth through his fur coat.

Battousai left as soon as he saw the two get comfortable enough for the night.

He was trudging along, in search for prey, when he came to an alleyway. A familiar sent teasing his sensitive nose. His eyes found three thugs trying to mug a lone man.

He sensed the sweet aroma of the thick substance, he had longed for. One word came to his mind.

"Blood" whispered Battousai, as he started to head towards the sight, anxiously waiting to feel the sweet liquid on his beseeching tongue.

He took in the sight before him. One of the thugs had the poor man against the brick wall, while the other two stood behind the first one. Obviously he was the leader of the gang

He heard them in the distance.

'Give us all of your money or die." Said one of the thugs behind the leader, as he pulled out a dagger from his belt.

"This is all…I….have. P-please don-don't hurt me!" Stuttered the man, as he flimsily tried to give them his battered wallet.

Battousai decided it was time to make himself known. He stepped out from the lurking shadows, intent on having a nice meal afterwards.

"You morons should pick on somebody your own size, like myself." Battousai said, as he calmly leaned against the wall across from them. His eyes closed and a smirk plastered upon his rugged features.

The three thugs looked at the little man with red hair and golden eyes, and gave a snort. They thought he would be an easy target. Boy, were they wrong.

One of the thugs stepped forward, but was held back from one of the men at his side.

"Let him go Bill. He's not worth it."

The one named Bill let the man go, and pushed him, with a not so gently shove. The man was very grateful, and ran like the devil was on his heels, as he disappeared from the alleyway.

Once the man was out of sight, Battousai finally showed his true nature to the idiotic bastards, who were about to satisfy his hunger.

His fangs grew longer and shaper. His fingernails turned into deathly frightening claws that seemed as though they were meant to tear a man's throat out with ease.

"What the hell!" One man screamed

"What are you?" The leader asked, as he shakily tried to release his gun from its holster.

Battousai flashed them a grin, showing them his deadly fangs, and then said in a monotone voice.

"Your worst nightmare."

Then in one swift movement, he attached, and bit into their awaiting necks, sucking the blood out of them, one by one, ever so slowly, watching as their lives drained before him, as he smiled in satisfactory.

So what do you think? I have a thing for vampires. I am just afraid of being bitten, because it looks like it would hurt. Please review and I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas, and hope you all will have a Happy New Year!

Bye

Kagome
