A/N: So, this is the answer to KagomeAnna's question: I don't know. It's just so happened that Mikihisa always associated with 'a bad guy' to me. I can't tell why, it's just my imagination, that I cannot fully control…lolz!
Fields, surrounding the forests, were extraordinary beautiful: the endless green of grass dazzled sight every time you looked at it, no matter day it was or night, the fields remained endlessly beautiful. But defiantly not today: today they were turned into endless battlefield. From the northern side, packs of werewolves, mountain giants and gargoyles were gathering in a single army. From the southern side, armies of vampires, gargoyle-riders, men and sorcerers were moving into open from a thick forest. What was interesting was that with vampires' side moved werewolves as well. This battle was just as strange as it was great. At the front of vampires' side marched Anna and Hao. Yoh was in the forest, with reserved squads. In front of werewolves' side marched Mikihisa, dressed with his battle kimono and shielded waistcoat. Three leaders stopped about three steps from each other, their front lines at safe, ten feet distance from each other. Hao, Anna and Mikihisa exchanged furious looks.
"We can still end this without blood" Hao started. Mikihisa scoffed.
"Not if one vampire will walk this earth" Anna gave him icy gaze, which sent chills up Mikihisa's spine.
"You are the most disgusting leader I've ever knew. The hell with you Mikihisa" she said coldly. Mikihisa nodded and turned to his army. Anna and Hao ran back to the place where Jeanne and front squads stood.
"Everyone ready?" Anna asked. Jeanne nodded.
"Yes"
"Ok, then, with my signal, unleash hell" the blonde turned to Hao "I figured your brother can be trusted, right?" Hao smiled.
"I would trust him with my life" Anna gave out a sigh of relief.
"Nice to hear" she looked to where an endless army of Mikihisa was starting to move towards them. Hao too looked that way.
"It's going to be ok" he said. Anna smirked to him.
"You're just saying that or you really believe it?" Hao laughed.
"I believe in it alright" he kissed Anna lightly "shall we?" Anna nodded and took a wooden bow from one of the soldiers. Then the same guy gave her an arrow, which she lit up in fire. Anna aimed towards the sky and shot out a sparkling stick. Everything's stopped for one moment: Mikihisa's army froze, listening silently. Suddenly the ground began to shake; a sound of a thunder pierced the air. Vampires' army suddenly parted and made large corridors. Huge balls of fire appeared in those corridors, rolling towards the other army. Werewolves didn't have enough time to move aside, so the roaring fireballs hit them, causing chaos in the front lines. About twelve fireballs rolled from the hill, until the assault stopped. Then the front lines of vampires charged towards the enemy. Anna shot another burning arrow to the sky: in another moment, shots heard in the distance and bullets with silver nitrate pierced the air, flew past vampires' squads and hit the werewolves' front lines. Many soldiers fell from these shots, quickly turning back to humans and dieing. When it was left about three feet from armies to collide, Anna shot a third arrow to the sky. This time, a cavalry of ten black-leathered dragons rose from the forest and flew towards werewolves' army. Mikihisa stood in surprise of those amazing creatures, but instead of being afraid, he smiled to himself.
"Why you insidious bitch. I like the way you imagine war" he watched as the front lines collided with each other and the slaughter began. He nodded to his soldier: the brawny and dangerous looking guy nodded back and walked into the crowd. After few minutes, a pack of furious, manticore – like creatures charged towards the fighting area.
"Learn to focus your forces on a ground" he mumbled under his breath.
Anna, on the other side of the front, saw how manticore – issue creatures attacked her soldiers. She ordered secondary front to attack, sending gargoyle – riders along. Not much time passed as her forces began to push werewolves to their own grounds. Anna sent another two fronts, this time adding the sorcerers' squad after them. Hao looked behind his back to the forest, where, he knew, Yoh is hiding.
"Be patient. We are not in such a big trouble" Anna said as she saw where Hao is looking to. He nodded.
"I know, but I just have this bad feeling about Yoh" Anna looked to the direction forest.
"Don't worry. It's going to be ok" she put her hand on Hao's shoulder and they both turned around to the battle field. The moon was full, so they could see everything as on a plate. Anna turned to Jeanne.
"Send more gargoyles' riders. Order them to attack the western wing. It's unprotected anyway" Jeanne nodded and followed orders. Anna took a deep breath and felt a smell of warm blood already coming here. The woman shook her head.
"Something's wrong. The smell of blood shouldn't come here so fast" Hao nodded in agreement.
"You're right, it's not usual even when the wind is blowing this way" he looked down to his feet and suddenly jumped from the ground. Anna looked down as well and gasped in a sight she saw: the grass under her feet was covered in blood.
"What the…" a sudden scream was heard from other side. People around drew out their weapons and aimed them to the ground. Anna let out a scream of amazement as well: a blood covered arm raised form the ground and grabbed her by leg. Anna drew out her katana and cut of the arm: it fell down, shrank quickly and disappeared with a sizzle. Other soldiers were doing the same thing, cutting the arms over and over again.
"This must the witchcraft of risen death" Hao said, as he cut another arm with a silver sword, which had a form of one - sided feather. Since Hao couldn't change into his werewolf form anymore, he used the weapons he leant to use long ago.
"Not good. But they're not hard to defeat. Why?" Hao cut of another arm.
"Because the craft is not strong enough: werewolves' don't have such strong witches as you do" Anna found Jeanne.
"Jeanne, run to the eastern side and tell them to attack at full strength. We'll join in later" Jeanne nodded and disappeared in the crowd, cutting of a bloody arm from time to time. Anna looked to Hao.
"We gotta go. We have Mikihisa to destroy" Hao nodded.
"Yeah, but what about Yoh" Anna looked around and found Bill. She approached him.
"Bill, run to the forest and tell Yoh Asakura to attack at his will and make it fast" Bill only nodded and ran to the direction of forest. Anna sighed and she and Hao walked towards the open battle field to make one last stand against their mortal enemy…
