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: Hmm…yeah, so….I'm completely bored out of my mind and my internet is down, so I decided to write…
Acquisition of Hunters
Chapter 4
After many more seemingly endless fights with other hunters on their way to Yserna, and many interesting conversations; however impossible it might seem, Dariel and D finally had the imposing castle in sights. It stood on top of a small mountain covered in clouds; it seemed to be sitting on the clouds itself, a Hell in Heaven. The castle itself was dark and imposing with many black ominous towers that reached towards the daytime sky, which grew dark around the castle, probably from time bewitching incense. The entrance, which was small from where they were; it looked as if the gateway to hell itself was inviting them to come in. It was terrible, yet beautiful; evil, yet ethereal.
Dariel sat in awe of the beautiful structure. D gave it a somewhat longing and familiar glance with his eyes. His face showed no other emotion.
"It's…impressive." Dariel said for lack of a better word.
"Yeah…" D muttered.
"So, shall we keep going?" Dariel asked.
D nodded as they nudged their cyborg horses forward.
Soon evening had come, and along with it a blood red sun that befitted the castle of Yserna. D and Dariel had decided that they had to have a shelter for the night, a place where they could rest and prepare for the next night; the night that the ball would begin.
They had found a small cave in the base of a large hill close to the castle. D and Dariel had already tied up their horses just as it started to pour down rain.
"Great…Hopefully, no one will find us, because we'd be at a serious disadvantage…" Dariel said, stating the obvious while taking her saddle pack from off of her horse and set it down into a corner of the cave that she had claimed as her own.
D found an area next to Dariels' and started to make a fire. The effect was immediate as the cold dark cavern became warm and the soft light from the fire danced on the grey-blue walls of the cave. Dariel pulled a bag from her saddle pack and grabbed two blood capsules and swallowed them with a couple of drinks of water. She then walked over to the fire and sat across from D.
"Vampire's had to be invited to this thing, right?" Dariel asked, and D nodded in response.
"Well, then we're going to have to find a Vampire and Vampiress that we can easily take down and take their place…but you probably thought of that…" Dariel stated.
"Tomorrow, after sunset, that's when we'll have to get them. That's when they'll be coming in." D said.
Dariel nodded.
"Well, I'm going to sleep…I need rest for tomorrow..." Dariel said as she went back to her corner of the cave, leaned herself against the wall and was just about already asleep.
D looked at her celestial form that was barely visible in the low light. Her chest rose and fell softly while she slumbered. She had taken down her hair and it flowed onto her body like a long curtain of gold. Her arms were crossed beneath her full bosom and her shapely legs lay upon the floor of the cave. Her lips, red as a rose…or blood…Her…Wait, what was he thinking? D knew that he shouldn't be thinking like this. She was his comrade, he couldn't fall in love. What he was afraid of most, though, was the thought that she wouldn't love him in return. He had grown close to her in the week that they traveled together; much closer than he had ever wanted to happen. D wasn't the type for love, he couldn't be. His eyes once again turned to Dariel and his body filled with lust and his heart with a newfound love…
