Shiory stirred and pushed D away

"You traitor you evil thief how dare you!"

With that she pushed away from him and leapt in to a tree leaping from limb to limb quickly out of site and away from him he only watched as she vanished

'Traitor? Thief? She's right.'

He thought with a frown Left hand herd his thoughts and felt bad. Had D actually liked the demoness?

----------------------------------------------------------------

Tears streamed down her face as she leapt twigs tore at her skin and cut in to her feet and palms shedding her blood but she didn't care she just wanted to get as far away from him as she could quite unaware of a fast shadow following her.

Lading on a branch weak from age it gave way under her weight and she plummeted threw branches smashing to the ground in a heap

"Oh… oww." She tried to push herself up but realized she couldn't feel her left arm she shifted painfully to look at it only to find it sitting in an unsavory angle

"Oh dear are you ok child?" came a silky voice and she shifted again to look at the owner of the voice only to find a tall man standing before her he wore a red silk button down shirt and a black dress coat and pants his shoes were shiny as if he had just walked off a dance floor

"Who are you what are you doing way out here?" she managed and the man bent down she couldn't see his face because the moons light was shining down casting a shadow over it

"Way out here why my dear you are on the grounds of my estate and I must say you need medical aide quite quickly." He said touching her cheek to calm her now rather frantic breaths

"Be gone with you I am a demon can you not see? I will only cause you problems." The man nodded yes I can see you are a demon who needs my help you hardly look like you can stand so please." He carefully took her in his arms as if she were made of glass

"What are doing?" she asked looking him in the eyes now seeing they were a warm forest green color

"Shh sleep you need it I can tell." His velvet voice washed over her and she found she felt exhausted and promptly drifted in to a dreamless sleep

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shiory awoke feeling sore and tried to sit up finding she couldn't she just opened her eyes

"What? Were am I?" she asked and felt silk brush against her skin she looked around.

The room she was in seemed to have been made of gold the walls were a lovely pale yellow and all the panels were separated by wood carved in the shape of an ivy vine and painted gold.

one of the walls was made completely of mirrors the floor was covered in soft white tiles that seemed to glow in the light of thousands of candles set in several chandeliers overhead

"Oh good your awake Master Izumie was beginning to worry." A maid walked up to her and removed your covers and helped you sit up

"Master Izumie?" she said she couldn't remember why exactly she was hear or her name she couldn't remember anything

"Yes My dear have you forgotten me already my love?" asked a silky voice as a beautiful tall man walked in his skin was pale and his long black hair was tied back at the base of his neck.

"Love?" she asked as he walked towards her "What happened why can I not remember anything?" she demanded

"Please calm your self my beautiful kitty You fell from your swing a week ago and badly hurt yourself And have seemed to lost your memory dew to the rather large shock your head received." He explained

"Kitty … Is that my name?" She asked and Izumi shook his head no I called you kitty to show my affection for you your name is Shiory." He smiled warmly brushing her cheek with a pale hand

"Are we… lovers?" she asked and he smiled

"Yes my dear we are we have been living in this estate for three years now my beloved your favorite part of the estate was the swing in the rose garden." He said settling next to her.

"The one I fell from?" she asked he nodded

"Yes I have been so worried a bought you." As he spoke he drew closer and hugged her gently

"I was so worried you wouldn't wake up my love." Shiory was taken aback but after a moment she embraced him back gingerly to avoid aggravating her bruises she felt him start to kiss her neck before pulling back

"May I kiss you my love?" he asked and she nodded he pressed his lips to hers in a soft kiss his one arm around her waist the other gingerly holding her head.

His tongue ran along her lower lip and she allowed him to explore her mouth deepening the kiss he lay her back on the bed and began to nibble at her lower lip hearing her moan softly in response

"Izumi…" she said softly and he pulled away from her he smiled and bent forward again kissing her once more but this one seemed different as he bit at her lower lip she tasted copper blood in her mouth and he pulled away

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to…" She placed a finger on his lips

"It's ok I forgive you" She said softly before pulling her forward and kissing him lightly he left her mouth and began to trail butterfly kisses down her neck and along her shoulder

"Izumi…" she moaned lightly and he began to nip and suck at her neck pressing a hand to her breast she gasped a bit as he sunk his teeth in to her neck sending a wave of pleasure and pain threw her

"I'm sorry did that hurt?" he whispered in her ear nipping it playfully

"No it's fine I'm just tired." She said and Izumi pulled away

"Then I shall leave for tonight but I will not be back till tomorrow night so please do not wait up for me if you feel tired ok?" as he spoke she smiled and nodded

"ok then but I will miss you… will you miss me?" she asked and Izumi smiled and nodded

"of course I will my love." And with that he walked out allowing a draft in for a moment to blow out the candles in the chandeliers and Shiory drifted off into a fitful sleep.

D trotted threw the woods he hadn't said anything since that night he was never one for conversation but now he didn't even try to stem Left hands ranting of how much faster they were going with out her.

"Truly D it's better she's gone now we don't have to worry a bought protecting her and you can get back to what you do best."

He said but D said nothing just stared ahead a town coming in to view there was already a crowd gathered at the edge of the woods but as he turned away clearly not in the mood to put up with hateful townsfolk at the moment he was stopped

"Wait Please are you a Vampire hunter wanderer?" some one called out a man he stood tall but his eyes were red he had been crying.

"Yes I am what is it you need?" he said turning his horse and trotting towards them

"Please sir Please help bring my mommy back!" a little girl said running from the crowd and up to D the man stepped forward

"Please Forgive my Daughter she is quite upset you have to understand a rather noble Vampire lives in an estate in these woods recently he has begun taking our women none of them have yet to return human or otherwise we need some one to help us stop him even if our women our dead.

Knowing that would at least sooth our aching hearts and if they are changed please allow them a quick painless death this is all we ask of you." The man bowed his head as more tears threatened to flow

"I'll do it. But there is a price." He said and the man looked up

"Any thing pooled together our town has almost twenty million dollars all together."

D nodded "Were is his estate?" he asked and the man lit up with a smile.
