Sorry for all the problems i'm trying to work on it. I'd like to say thanks for all of those that have reviewed, You are all awsome and very sweet. If you've noticed there is a new summary and in this chapter I introduced the big bad evil.

Summary

she had become his obsession three hundred years ago and it resulted in her death. Now reborn as Usagi, she takes to the profession she had three hundred years ago, A demon slayer, and finds herself being hunted. Dreams plague her, and powerful savage man begins to stalk her. Things become clear when she comes across her journal written in her past life and a monster supposedly killed returns in the body of a boy.

"Dammit."

Megan was cursing herself for being all kinds of fools when she decided she'd take the long way home, through a dark and deserted park, at night. She thought the park would be beautiful at night, with the moon casting a silver glow on the surrounding scenery. She needed the fresh air and the comforting peace that nature was said to offer.

She heard something rustle in the shrubbery to her left and realized that there was nothing comforting or peaceful about nature, especially at night when she was by herself and defenseless. The shadows of the trees seemed to be chasing her and the air was still, silent, as if waiting patiently for something to happen. Something bad.

She sped up her pace, now desperately wanting to get the hell out of here. Another rustle in the bushes to her right had her running. She could feel eyes on her now, and dread settled hard in the center of her gut. Something was watching her, she could feel the gaze burn through her back.

Every now and then as she ran along the winding pathway, or what she could see of one anyway, something would move along the bushes on either side of her. Something dangerous, something evil was leading her along, directing her movements to where it wanted her to go. Where it would ultimately kill her.

The smell of rotten flesh rose strong suddenly and burned in her nose, hung so heavy in the air that she could feel it weigh her down. She could taste it in her mouth, sliding thick, down the back of her throat and she couldn't breath. Her eyes watered as she choked back on the smell. Her skin was crawling wildly, almost unbearably as she felt its dark intentions push at her mind.

It was enjoying the chase, drinking up her fear and desperation like sweet wine. It was playing a game with her, having fun before the kill in which there was no escape. It was only a matter of time and hers was running out.

His hunger was all consuming and never ending. It burned in his belly, stripped his mind until it had become a frenzying rage that gripped his thoughts. He was angry, hatred his only driving force, and he demanded retribution for his lasting torment. He was going to rip into her slowly, watch her writhe and shudder as the pain convulsed through her body. He wanted to hear her scream until her eyes rolled back and her heart no longer beat within her breast (Poor girl, see why dark places are bad, especially parks!).

She could see it all in her head and she let out a choked sob as she brought up her hands to block it out. Tears trailed warm down her flushed cheeks. Her legs were close to giving out, the strain of running too long at top speed taking its toll. She was wheezing hard, struggling to breathe pass the suffocating stench. She could feel her body slowing down, on the verge of collapse from sheer exhaustion.

He felt close, as if he were a mere inches from snatching her up. She glanced behind her but the path was empty, deserted, not a soul in sigh-

She slammed hard into something in front of her and both tumbled roughly onto the ground. She landed on her stomach with the wind knocked out of her and her vision disoriented. She coughed in air, tried to clear her vision but something latched on to her arm.

She screamed, struggling violently to break free of the hold but it was like an iron vice. She pleaded to be let go, her bleary eyes only seeing a black silhouette of large shape towering over her. She screamed loudly for help but she was pinned against a strong frame, arms entrapping her. Words were being whispered across her ear, and she tried to fight past the fear to understand what was being said.

"Its okay, its okay, you need to calm down. Its okay, you're okay, calm down. I won't hurt you, you're safe."

The words were steady, soothing, and her body ceased to struggle. She took deep breaths and tried to catch her bearings. She searched frantically for something lurking in the near by shrubs but found nothing. A breeze blew stirred softly and there was nothing potent in the air. There were no thoughts but her own, dwelling inside her head. Had it all been her imagination?

"Oh god…oh god… I… I thought… I thought someone was there. Behind me… I thought he was gonna kill me…. I…" She trailed off from her frantic babbling and tried not to hyperventilate. She closed her eyes and felt her body relax against the person who held her.

He stroked her hair as she tried hard not to cry. She focused on trying to calm her heart rate and bring her pulse back down to semi-normal.

"That's right" He cooed. He brought his mouth close to her ear and breathed in the scent of her hair. "Don't be afraid." His hands trailed down to her to her shoulder blades and his fingers dug past the barrier of her shirt and into her tender skin.

"I'll save you."

Her body jerked violently and she let out a painful gasp as sharp claws dragged down her back. He moved slowly, claws sinking in deep until they stopped just above her hips. Something warm followed after his hands, traveling just as slowly, and she wondered in somewhat of a daze, if it was blood.

He stepped back, taking away her support, and she dropped with a thud onto the dirt where something seemed to pop. She let out a small cry and tried to curl into herself, tiny pathetic whimpers escaping her throat.

Leaves crunched beneath the monster as he bent down to her. His deformed hands were leathery, rough as they cradled her neck, his fingers massaging the nape. He brought her head up to stare at him and only shock kept her from screaming.

He was smiling, the corners of his mouth stretching past the planes of his face, and dozens of jagged fangs gleamed at her. Her death lay inside It's sunken, shriveled eyes that were laughing at her. The flames of hell were dancing in his irises as they burned a deep, smoky red.

It's said that eyes are the windows to one's soul, and Megan knew without a doubt that this thing carried no soul, just a malicious need to kill, to destroy. When it spoke its voice echoed and scraped at the walls of her mind. It was pure madness, pure chaos, pure evil and she was drowning in it.

"Scream for me."

And she did, knowing that even in death she would never escape those eyes.

(elsewhere)

Usagi was in the middle of fighting her own demons, while Megan's broken body was dragged away. She'd just come up to the park wondering what Makoto's good news might entail, when multiple screams had interrupted the silence. Gearing up for a fight, she took off in the direction where birds had shot out into the night from fright of the noise.

She arrived to see a man lay sprawled on the ground, unconscious, and a fair amount of blood seeping from a large laceration on his forehead. A busted tree branch lying a few feet away explained how that had occurred.

To the left of the man she could make out a vamp straddling a terrified woman and just about to sink extended canines into her jugular. The woman was crying out for someone, probably her unconscious boyfriend, while her attacker was laughing at her feeble attempts to push him off her.

Usagi was there in seconds and with a super human strength she pulled him by the shoulders and hauled him off the woman. He sailed far, tumbling to stop, but he was up fast and growling like a raging animal, his teeth extended to the limit. Usagi faced him, her face calm, cold and both ignored the woman as she rushed to the man who seemed to be gaining consciousness.

"Picking on the defenseless is a little unfair don't you think? I'm here to make it even."

He snarled at her, "you are a very stupid, little girl, and it will cost you your life." His mouth seemed to elongate as his nail grew to sharp points, and he charged at her. He was quick, moving at a supernatural speed but Usagi side stepped him and brought her foot down hard on the back of his calf.

He stumbled, falling to one knee and hissing in pain. They turned to face each other, Usagi bringing her arms up in defense and the vamp hissing in annoyance.

"So, you wanna play do you?"

He smiled maliciously but Usagi said nothing, she stood still, waiting, ready for the next attack. He came quick, if not quicker than before and brought his right arm up to strike her. She blocked with her left arm and her right came swift and connected with his face. She hit him again in his chest and used her left arm to backhand him across his face.

He stumbled to the right and she kicked at his back causing him to fall flat on the ground. Usagi grabbed at a stake in her side pocket and came down to dust him but his arm shot out, surprising her. He grabbed her wrist before she could penetrate and kicked her legs out from under her.

She fell on her back, slightly winded, the stake rolling from her hand. He was suddenly on top of her, grabbing at her arms. She used his momentum and pushed up with her legs and sent him flying over her head. She scrambled up, looking for the stake but not finding it.

From the corner of her eye she could see him coming and blocked both on-coming punches and kicked his stomach. He took a step back, grunting, and she did a back handspring, her foot catching his jaw. He fell back and Usagi was able to bull out a bottle of holy water.

He came at her again and she ducked his punch, avoided his low kick and brought the bottle to smash against his face. He brought up his hands to cover it as it smoldered, all the while cursing at her in fury.
She used his distraction to pull out another stake and brought it down fast in the center of his heart. He staggered back, surprise written on his face. Usagi held a condescending smirk on her as she commented.

"It would seem you're all talk and no show."

His only answer was combusting into dust. Usagi heaved a sigh, unsatisfied for some reason. She looked around to find the couple gone and without so much as a thank you, no less. She could have been heartless, and left them to be eaten, so was a thank you really all that much to ask for?

She went still suddenly, mentally counting down in her head. 'Three… two… one…' she leapt to the side her right arm extending out. It connected with something solid and she looked to find her stake lodged in the heart of another vampire. Shock and confusion lined his face, probably wondering how she could have heard him behind her.

"I do this for a living. Give me a little more credit than that."

"Huntress…" was all he could hiss before he too, combusted into ashes. Her lip curled in distaste.

"I really hate that name."

She sighed again and dusted her jacket sleeve. She decided to head back, her warm bed sounding really good right now. She took a step forward when she felt eyes watching her. She froze her eyes searching the surrounded shrubs.

A presence seemed to be everywhere at once and her head jerked in all directions hoping to pinpoint its location. The gaze she felt was strong, cool, and it made her shiver. She still hadn't spotted anything but she knew someone was there, watching, admiring; her breathing increased.

"Come out."

Her voice was rough and she tried to clear it. She felt the barest brush of something-warm slide against the back of her neck and she whipped around to find nothing but air. She felt warm fingers glide along the line of her jaw and sweep back her hair.

She was helpless to anything but to close her eyes against the tender gesture. Another hand spanned the flatness of her stomach. She let out a slow breath and fell back against a strong chest. She felt his mouth skim her collarbone and moved up the side of her bare neck. It was barely there but it sent heat tendrils pooling in her lower stomach region.

His mouth reached just under the inside of her ear and he nipped playfully. She sucked in a ragged breath as his hand slid lower down her stomach. She felt his chest rumble as he chuckled, his voice deep and sensual.

"You always did surrender to me easily enough. I had expected a little bit of challenge this time around."

Her eyes snapped open and she came back to herself, fully aware of her intimate position. She recognized the voice from her early phone conversation suddenly she wasn't up to a confrontation.

She jerked out of his embrace spinning around to look at him but there was no one there, just empty space. She closed her eyes, struggling to stay calm, and opened them to find a figure outlined between two trees.
He was standing fifteen yards away and she could just make his well-muscled form waving to her, his arm moving slowly in a large ark. He was smiling, she could see the gleam of his pearly white teeth and it made her think of a predator's smile.

'I'll be back'

It was his promise and she could hear it swimming in her head. She turned on her heel and fled. She was shaking so bad she thought she might topple at any minute. She wanted nothing more than to hide underneath her covers and find it all a bad dream.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

She made it into her apartment in record time and slammed the door hard, not caring if she woke up the surrounding neighbors. She locked all the dead bolts and leaned up against the door. She tried to catch her breath.

She could still feel him on her skin, his earth bound scent heightening her senses. She brought her hand to cover her pounding heart, willing it too calm. She needed a bath, she needed to soak in the tub and if she was lucky she would drown.

She peeled her jacket off and threw it carelessly onto the sofa as she headed to her bathroom. She filled up the tub with steamy water and all but jumped in. The water soothed her instantly, calming her frayed nerves.

She closed her eyes and tried hard to think of anything but what had happened tonight. She didn't like how she had lost herself in his embrace. How she had melted at his slightest touch. She didn't even know him, though just his voice brought on a strong sense of familiarity.

She shook her head, she would think about him right now, what she needed was to relax and sleep. She rose out of the tub wrapping a towel around her body and grabbing another for her hair.

Pulling on her satin jammies she crawled into bed with the thought of needing to call Ikuno and talk to her. She probably had information regarding this whole mess. She fell asleep knowing that her life was about to go seriously down hill from here and it would all start with him.
