For as long as one could remember, her kind were always hunted, experimented and then finally disposed of by his kind. There are many allegations as to why they were the hunted; but the most prominent one that stands out is to have their power.

Their abilities outshine all creatures among creatures and the envy of his kind caused the grudge between them to grow into something sinister. It was amazing how something being deprived by another can cause such hatred to the point of greed which leads to such extreme measures.

Gasping for air on the river bank, the silver eyes of the beauty slowly shone a bright cerulean hue and her hair bled black as she hugged her naked form tightly. The wound at her side was huge, but fading ever slowly though even that was the least of her problem.

"I can't believe he saved me," She whispered, her shock still not worn off from his unexpected action; or the kiss she bestowed upon him.

A soft blush crept up her visage before she shook her head, intent on not losing her purpose just because of a simple – unexplained – act of kindness.

"Kags," Called an angelic almost sleepy voice, and the blue eyed beauty looked up at the sound of her name, sighing in relief when she spotted the small red faerie fluttering beside her. The tiny fluttering being looked exactly like Kagome, save for her red hair, red floral dress and red orbs.

"Crimson," Kagome murmured, a small smile touching her lips. "I'm glad to see you,"

Crimson buzzed around her joyously, turning her back to Kagome to flutter her wings even more. "The blast caught a wing, so I had to heal." Looking down at her mistress, she noticed the gash and gasped loudly. "It caught you too!"

"Its fine, it's not that deep,"

"Oh no mistress… I have to –…"

"It's fine Crim," Kagome admonished. "I'll heal in a couple minutes." To make her point, Kagome twisted slightly to show the red hue connecting to the gash that was already healed. "I'm just glad they didn't get you."

It was said that if one can capture either the master or the familiar, then they had the source needed to obtain the genetics that allowed them a power that outshines anything one could imagine.

Even though his kind had their own abilities, with their keen sense of hunting and simply the intelligence to defy the norm – one would be amazed by them. They may look human – both of them, but they were far more… advanced than the human species would allow.

They were known for drinking blood to sustain themselves and to take with them a part of their victims, but the rightful name for them were The Whisperers. Hidden like the night itself, but as bright as the day – no one can compare to them… No one but her kind that is.

And with that knowledge, they knew then that in order to surpass them, they had to first catch them.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me most," Crimson whimpered, fluttering down at eye level with Kagome. "If I didn't get distracted when you –…"

"Nonsense," Kagome hissed, her eyes now glaring at her. "If it wasn't for you I would have been captured long before… and even so… I…I escaped," She whispered, not sure if she should tell her about the compassion shown to her in such a dire time.

"I suppose you're right," Crimson sighed, landing softly on Kagome's shoulder and walking towards her cheek where she lightly kissed it, sending a tingling sensation throughout her body. "It'll hasten your healing."

"I'll let your disobedience slide just this once," Kagome smiled and kissed her head lightly. "Come one now," Going on all fours, Kagome looked at Crimson in expectation. "I gotta report back to Kaede."

Grinning widely, Crimson fluttered atop Kagome's head. "Which means you need agility?"

Kagome smirked, looking down at her almost healed side before breaking out in a big grin. "…Of course," She chided with enthusiasm.

Crimson giggled cutely before her form started to spark red.
