Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Hunter D (either one). As I said before if I did I would be screaming it on national television…so yeah…
A/N: I got Vampire Hunter D the book! Three of them, actually :P And I don't have writers block…but I'm too lazy to write, hah, sucks to be you. Unless you hate this story, then you're probably happy :P
Acquisition of Hunters
Chapter 3
D and Dariel had worked out a plan, for the hours that they had ridden. The landscape about them had been fairly stable and had not changed much. Surprisingly no foes had appeared quite yet…But they had decided on the plan and this was the basic idea…
1. They ride to the area of the castle aka Yserna.
2. Form a base, or camp site.
3. Get disguises, and make sure no one will recognize them.
4. Wait until the hour that the sun sets and be accepted into the ball as a vampire couple, but not before trying to slip past the many vampire hunters.
5. Dariel will try and get close to Dracula during that time and seduce him, then wait until the opportune moment for D to kill him.
6. Find the family and try to escape before the rest of the vampires find out and try to kill them.
They never said it was perfect, but it would do for then. They knew lots of improvising was to come. They both knew that this would most likely be their most difficult job yet.
Dariel sighed. She was getting bored and tired with the constant swaying motion of her horse upon the lush green grass. D on the other hand was wide awake, but his eyes made him seem as though he was very tired or just plain annoyed. But Dariel somehow knew that he wasn't tired. It just always seemed as though he was half asleep but he never really was. He knew how to hide his emotions very well.
Dariel never really thought about needing to hide her emotions. But she was sensible enough to in some cases. Though sometimes she seemed naïve, she was actually very mature and knew very well what she was doing, thus making many vampires think of her nothing more than a small nuisance. But in reality she was the one in control the whole time. Most didn't realize it until it was too late and Dariel had already, in short, destroyed them.
She was not only skilled in disguises (as many thought it her only skill and hand to hand combat was nothing more than luck), but she was very skilled with swords and daggers. Not so much with guns, but who needs guns when you had the blade skills of Dariel, the Hunter?
D stopped his horse and started to draw his sword. Dariel did likewise. They both sensed a presence above them on the cliffs on either side of them.
"Vampire hunters." D seemed to mumble.
"I think there are five..." Dariel responded.
All of the sudden three large men jumped down in front of them.
"On your way to Yserna? You'll have to get through us first." The largest man said.
"Behind you!" Dariel shouted, but D had already turned around and sliced the man in half, who had tried to jump him from behind.
"Maybe the next one who was going to try that will think closer about it…" D said, and above them they heard someone running the opposite direction.
The leader of the group was fuming. "Get them!" He yelled. And all three of them charged D and Dariel.
Dariel jumped off of her horse with inhuman speed, flipped forward and stuck her longsword vertically into the top of the mans head, pushing it in all the way to the ground with her feet. The man was dead instantly, and Dariel quickly pulled her sword out of him. D had simply cut the two other men in half. The battle, if you could call it that, was over.
"Amateurs." Dariel spat.
"So it would seem." D said.
"I guess this means that we should hurry to Yserna so we can get there before all the others do, so we have time to prepare…" Dariel said as she quickly mounted her horse. D did the same.
"I guess so." D replied.
Dariel kicked her horse into it's fastest speed as she and D raced towards Yserna.
End of Chapter (Could you even call that a chapter!) 3
A/N: Yeah, that was short but I don't care. Maybe someday I'll reach the end…or not….Heh.
