I only got 1 review on this but it will be worth writing when I'm done.

I didn't want to keep writing and no one review so here is the second chapter!

I don't own Vampire Hunter D or it's characters! Only my own Shibou.

Chapter 1

The journey to the village was short and the two had no trouble getting there. In fact, D was impressed at how easily Shibou was able to keep up with his horse's gallop. Along the way the pair had said very little to each other and did not spare the other a single glance.

Upon entering the village the pair slowed to a slow walk and made their way to what seemed to be the mayor's house, judging by it being the largest house in the village. As Shibou walked ahead of D a few people of the village looked out the windows at her sudden appearance. The people walking along the dirt path through the center of the village moved aside and let her pace in fear of punishment. D followed silently and ignored the townspeople's glares and awes. Shibou had made it halfway to the mayor's house, but before reaching it, a man around his 30s walked furiously towards her, knife in hand. She walked to meet him halfway and he stood still as she walked closer to him. Around three feet from him she stopped and stared at his face, waiting for him to explain himself. "Demon!" the man shouted and pointed his knife in her direction. The tail on her backside began to twitch rapidly and she opened her mouth and said "What of it, human?"

D stood a few feet away and stayed silent, deciding it best to stand this one out. He watched as the two stared each other down, murderous intent in both sets of eyes. Shibou was sure she would have to kill this man if he continued to put on such a show, even if he was her employer. "You, human, hired me to rid you of Noble, and you try to stand up to me?" she said with a hint of annoyance in her eyes. Drops of rain started to fall from the sky and soon it was a complete downpour. D noticed the rain on Shibou's hair only made it stand out even more then it did before. The silver color reflected the moon's light so brilliantly it was as if it was the moon itself. The staring game ended between Shibou and the villager as more men showed up in front of the pair. "We didn't hire you, demon whore!" one of the braver men yelled and threw a knife in her direction. Shibou let the blade hit her upper left shoulder, never showing any sign of pain or emotion. "You ruined my kimono." was all she said as she yanked the knife out and let the wound heal itself.

D stood watching the scene, not saying anything, only wondering if she wanted to show defiance or was just itching for a reason to kill humans. He did not have time to figure out an answer as the blade was thrown directly into the original owners left shoulder. The blade had sunk into his arm as he released a surprised shout filled with anguish. The wound, now gushing blood, was enough to get the group of men back away from Shibou. "You know I payed a lot for this, and you just ruined it. I think you owe me an apology and money to pay for the expenses." Shibou said with annoyance dripping from her voice.

The men, being too proud to apologize to a woman, a demon one at that, stood staring at her in disbelief. D's left hand, finding this to be quite humorous, spoke out to D. "This one is quite the feisty one, huh? Good catch, and good luck." D clenched his hand to silence left hand and looked toward the group of people surrounding Shibou. The rain picked up and eventually came to be a downpour. Shibou, hearing D's left hand over the rain, snickered and turned to face him, completely ignoring the group of villagers behind her. "You know D, that hand of your's is going to get itself killed, if not by me then someone else." she said with a smirk and walked towards him. Stopping in front of him and looking into his face she said "These men are no problem, we can meet with the mayor and get rid of the Noble and we can be on our way." She turned away and walked forward and did not bother to stop in front of the men. D stood silently looking after her for a few minutes then finally following her towards the mayor's house.

The group of men looked to each other with confused looks and shrugged. They made their way after the quickly disappearing couple, if that's what you wanted to call them.
