A tweleve strong werewolves were closing on Anna. She stood calmly on a roof, piercing every creature with her gaze. Just as she expected, all of the pack attacked on a same time. Ann jumped up, flipping in the air, she landed behind the pack. She trusted her swords into two werewolves' backs. Both howled and fell on the roof, rolling to the edge and falling. Two out – ten to go. Three werewolves jumped behind Anna, three each side and four in front, making a circle around her. This time, for front attacked. Anna stretched her arms, blades to the front, so each of them would hit the bodies. And so they did: both wolves got sliced in halfs. Another two continued attacking, but end up in the same way. Three behind Anna attacked. She stmbled to right and cut of ones head. Another two got hit by katana as well, but on of them wrapped a claw around Anna's ankle and drew her afterwards. Anna fell from the roof, her swords falling to the different parts of the yard. Anna got up slowly, feeling her body aching and her lip bleeding. She looked up: three werewolves jumped from the roof. Suddenly, another twelve emerged from the night. Anna narrowed her eys to the biggest of them. He was obviously a leader and Anna recognized him – Slade. The woman drew out a silver dagger and few round throuwing blades. She calmed herself down as werewolves closed on her. Anna hissed:

„Time for killing" ...

Hao stood in a huge marble-walled room and waited. This was the quarters of his father – Mikihisa. Rarely did Mikihisa called for his son to talk and mostly it was somekind of bad news. Hao wondered, what happened this time. A door opened. A man in his late forties – ninehundries to be exact – walked in. He was much like Hao: same lines of the face, same long hair, same brown eyes. But this man didn't have Hao's charm and it made him look plain against his son. The man looked to Hao:

„You took a trouble to come and see me. That's indeed found of you" Hao scoffed.

„As if you want to see me very often. So, what's the deal?" Mikihisa went to the desk in the corner of the room and began skimming across papers.

„Do you know who Anna Kyouyama is?" he asked. Hao's insides froze, but his outside stayed calm and collected.

„The leader of Death Dealers? Yeah, who doesn't know about her" Mikihisa found a right page and showed it to Hao. It was a portrait of Anna. She wasn't much younger as she is now, but obviously she was still human. She wore red with golden crochets kimono, which's endings were dripping on a ground behind her. The background was an ocean with forests in the distance.

„I've sent two packs of my special forces. They should be finishing her off by now" Hao's mouth hung open.

„What?" he managed to say.

„The squads are led by Slade, you know him: he'll take care of her and will make sure that she's..."

„Dead?" a feminine voice came from the door. In the center of folding door stood Anna. In one hand she held katana, in other – a head of a man. She had huge cuts and scratches on her body. A leather overall was scractched and soiled. Anna walked closer, looking to Mikihisa with a rage that would have killed anyone. She threw the head, which appeared to have belonged to Slade, to Mikihisa's feet.

„You'll have to do more than that to beat me, Mikihisa" the man leaned to her, hateret burning in his eyes.

„You bitch" he hissed „you've been a thorn in my side since Vincent brought you to Death Dealers. You stated to take over and kill my kind as fast as you could. I've made a mistake then: I should have killed you when I had a chance" Anna narrowed her eyes.

„Then why don't you kill me right now, you wasted of air" Mikihisa rose his hand, which already was turning to the claw, but it was stopped by another hand. It was Hao:

„You touch a single hair on her head and you'll have to deal with me" he said, his eyes burning with anger. Mikihisa looked to him, then to Anna, then once again ti him.

„You and her?" Hao tightened his grip.

„While you'll keep your distance, I will as well" he threw his father's hand and turned around to leave, taking Anna's hand. She obeyed and they both left, leaving Mikihisa standing in shook. As they walked out to the forest, Yoh met them. Hao froze, but Anna only said:

„Go to your father. He needs someone to talk to. Or someone to beat up, who knows" Yoh smiled sheepishly.

„Bad mood, huh? Oh well, you two better go before guards return" Hao smiled to him sinserily.

„Thanks, Yoh" Yoh only laughed.

„Hey, that's why brothers are for" he then ran to the cave, only turning back to wave them. Anna and Hao looked to each other and gone into the darkness of the forest. As they walked on, Anna asked"

„Do you have any idea what you've just done?" Hao smiled to her.

„Besides that I've written myself a death notification, I know that I've just got a free way to be with the one I love and besides that, this love has a blessing from my brother. That's cool" Anna looked to him as if he was crazy.

„If you weren't a werewolf, I'd say you've lost your mind" Hao laughed and hugged her around the waist.

„That's true" his voice bacame serious „I was afraid you're going to die there. And when Mikihisa said that he'd sent two packs...but everything's fine right?" Anna gave a slight smile.

„Yeah" theb she froze, looking past Hao's shoulder „no. Hao, we're in trouble" Hao turned around. What he saw really wasn't a good thing: the eastern horizon was already becoming red. The sun rose. Hao looked to Anna and grabbed her hand, pulling her along.

„Come on. I know the place!" Anna ran along. Hao blocked her from the sun with his body, but still he could hear her moan from pain, as sun's rays touched her delicate skin. Hao led them to what seemed to be a neglected werehouse. Hao flung the door open and let Anna in, coming after her himself and shuting the door. The inside was dark, due to that werehouse was windowless. Hao found and broke few light sticks. Anna looked around and saw that the place was full of hay, sacks and boxes. Something like velvet blanckets alid in the hay cocks.

„I always come here, if I want to be alone" Hao said and closed to her. He examined Anna's wounds.

There's really no need" she said, as Hao touched her upper-arm. And sure enough: as Hao looked to Anna's chin, where just was a burnt from a sun, there only was a red marks on it. Anna had enough blood reserve in her body to make wounds heal.

„See? No need" Hao stooped, his hand still on her cheek. He looked into her eyes, questionally. Anna looked back. Hao swung in and kissed her, shortly first. Then the kiss grew more passionate, as Hao pulled Anna's body closer to his. He slowly unzipped the overall, feeling the hot skin under it. Anna, othervise, stroke her hands through his body, undressing his leather coat. Hao removed the overall, admiring her perfect body, silky and pale porcelain skin. He kissed her again, this time moving down her neck. Anna's hands played on Hao's body, giving him more feel of wanting and lust. She moved her hands slowly down and unzipped his pants. Now they were standing completely naked, looking to each other's eyes. Hao smiled to her and whole world around disappeared, the sounds fell into silence, the view into nothingness. Nothing mattered then , only he and she. And no trouble were on their shoulders, as they fell on a warm hay and sank into each others love...
