*Shaking her few thoughts away Luna stared at the opposite wall. The storm outside had died down and had almost stopped completely. Luna looked over at Oren, he was gazing off as well. Luna knew his story, his memories were not pleasant, but at least they were there.
Gathering their things, they prepared to leave the inn, the storm having stopped, making travel safer as well as easier. Opening the door that now hung at an awkward angle, they stepped out of the room. The drunkard from earlier had vanished, the inn keeper had probably had his body collected and perhaps a doctor called, leaving only his blood and vomit for them to avoid as they walked down the corridor. Passing the still bitter receptionist, they made their way to the door, the large man opening it for them on their way out, Luna nodding in thanks.
Outside it was cooler and growing dark, neither really bothering Luna, she didn't feel the cold like most people and had better vision at night. They had to travel across the desert, very few villages lying between them and the Ravens Eyes fortress. No doubt as they got closer they would run into gang members and people that could give them helpful information.*

*As they walked Oren heard the distant sound of motors....it got closer and closer,and then suddenly they were surrouned by giant desert sprinters,light beaming everywhere,almost looking like it was day again.A bunch of men scrambled out of them,all carrying guns,but one stood above all the wrest,he was huge.
I am a sub leader for the ravens eye gang,i come on behalf of Mistress Raven.Now im going to kill both of you and be done with i.....he seemed to notice Luna......an evil grin ran across his face,but she didint seem to notice.Well ill be killing you at least.he said pointing to Oren.
Without a word,or even a twitch,Oren pulled on a special length of cloth on his package,the cloth unfurled,and before gravity took hold he grabed both spears by the far ends for the greathest reach.Crouching into a stance with both spears outsreatched but one forward and the other behind.
Boys,get the girl,alive,this urchin is mine."HHHEAAAAA!!"portals of darkness appeared in front of five of the charging men,one infront of Oren,he thrust his spear in,and it stabed all five of them.He lept tward the man,who unsheathed wristswords and parried his attack,Luna using her contorl over the elements to fight them off,that and her claws,teeth,and wings....*

*As they trudge through the cool sand, a humming noise fills the air, getting louder as they progress. Lights appeared over the sands as they were circled by desert sprinters, the lights shining on them as the men jumped out. One of the men was massive compared to his companions and he introduced himself saying "I am a sub leader for the Ravens Eye gang, I come on behalf of Mistress Raven. Now I'm going to kill both of you and be done with I..." He stopped short. Luna could not see the reason why, the lights were in her eyes from the angle the man was at, so she could not see his features clearly. Well I'll be killing you at least." he said, pointing a finger a Oren.
Oren untied the fabric around his waist, portals of darkness appearing in front of the Ravens Eyes gang members as he pulled out his spears. "Boys, get the girl, alive, this urchin is mine." the leader says. Oren threw his spears, they traveled through the portals, striking each member in a matter of seconds.
Luna dropped her jacket to the ground, still wearing her torn shirt from before and unfurled her large wings, her teeth and claws also at the ready, her powers at her disposal. One man came up from behind her, grabbing her arm and attempting to twist it around behind her. She turned on her heel, bringing up her free arm and raking the claws against his face, the red blood spilling from the wounds as her cried out, clutching his face. Luna smirked as another came her way, this time getting his stomach punctured.
She would use her gift of fire to burn them all to a crisp, if only there was a flame she could find. Looking toward the ground she tries to find a pair of rocks, even a spark would enough for her to use, but her efforts were in vain, only sand was under their feet. Oren was fairing well for himself, killing more than she had because of his transportation powers and his skill with his blades. At least she had a small amount of control over shadows, enabling her to use them to at least push the men to the ground where she had the advantage.
As Luna was taking care of the henchmen, their leader had come up behind her, grabbing her arm and swinging her around, placing a hand over her mouth and smirking. Luna narrowed her eyes before firmly planting her teeth into the flesh of his hand as he let out a yelp of pain.*

*Seeing Luna in trouble,Oren jumped at the leader,striking him in the jaw with a kick,spears striking random henchmen,the man let go of her and began to duel Oren with his wrist swords again.
"Luna,now!" he said ducking under a slash and striking the ebony tips of his spears togeather,creating a spark,Luna had suddenly imoliated all of the henchmen.Orens battle was feirce,but with his skill and his power over darkness he had an edge.The leader made a strike that left an opening,shoving his spears up the baggy sleaves,through the shoulder stitch,the mans arms were nailed in place.
Oren drew his sword,and simply pointed it at the man....his cloak tail began to swirl,even with the emotionless of himself,an evil smile cracked,and the man turned white with fear..."Twilight Breath..."he murmered barley audible.The man burst into black fire,and started coughing.It was illusion of course,so Oren simply took his weapons,the man clutched his throat....thinking it was being sqeezed the poor fool chocked himself to death."Better than burning eternaly i suppose."he said withouth simpathy.Sheathing all his weapons in their proper place,they crawled into a sprinter."Get some sleep.I can drive."this said he turned north and hit the gas.*

*As Luna bit into the leader's hand Oren had approached and sent a powerful kick into the large mans jaw, a loud crack audible as Luna released her grip on his hand. Ina rage the leader began dueling the skillful Oren. "Luna,now!" Oren yells, striking his spear tips together creating a small shower of sparks. Luna reached out her hand, taking control of a stray spark and making it grow in her palm. Turning to the henchmen, Luna grinned, sending bursts of flames at them and burning them all to screaming crisps.
Looking over at Oren, Luna sees that he has pinned the leader's arms into place as he draws his sword. Oren smirks and whispers "Twilight Breath." The man's eyes widen as the illusion engulfs him, surrounding him with black flames as Oren retrieves his spears. The leader grasps at his neck, believing that he was choking, and ends up strangling himself.
"Better than burning eternally I suppose." Oren says simply, shrugging as he walks over to one of the desert sprinters, both he and Luna climbing in, Luna retracting her wings as she did so. They would reach their destination in no time with one of these. "Get some sleep. I can drive." Oren says, turning toward the north and hitting the gas pedal. Luna stared out the window for a while, but soon the drone of the engine and the rocking of the sprinter put her to sleep.
Luna wakes earlier the next morning, the sun out and shining in her face. Rubbing her eyes she sits up straight in her seat. "Oh" she says looking over at Oren "You should have woken me, I could have driven while you slept. You must be exhausted, I'm sorry."*

*He nods silently,"No,im fine."she seemed sorry...."Its not a big deal,i know how to go without sleep."
A sudden beeping came on the radar,two blips moving fast tward them CRAP!! .He jumped out of his seat,the vehicle began to spiral and spin,he grabbed Luna,"Hold on to me!!" he said creating a portal and jumping through with her,they came out in an embrace,sprialing downward,the two missles were flash novas....."Close your eyes."he said calmly putting her head over his shoulder and closing his own,looking down.
The explosion was brilliant,even when dimed by his eyelids.He leveled out and hit the ground at a dead run,putting Luna down.The fortress was huge....even at a distance.Luna started too,more missles launched......he would have to port to them and disarm them or they would both get blown up...*

*Oren shook his head after Luna had apologized to him saying "No, I'm fine. Its not a big deal, I know how to go without sleep." A sharp beeping sound filled their sprinter, two dots appearing on the radar. Luna's eyes widened, they were under attack.
Oren had abandoned his seat, grabbing Luna's arm and creating a portal saying "Hold on to me!!" Luna grabbed onto his shoulder as he pulled her into him entering the dark portal. They exited another portal in the air. "Close your eyes." Oren said calmly over the wind, pushing her head over his shoulder as she squeezed her eyes shut. The two missiles collided creating a brilliant explosion, the light penetrating the thin flesh of the eyelids.
Oren released Luna as they hit the ground, both at a dead run. The Ravens Eyes fortress was just ahead of them, it's size intimidating even from their distance. More missiles were fired, all aimed to destroy the two hunters before they could even get close to the fortress.
Luna unfurled her wings again. She figures she would only slow Oren down if she kept on her feet. Spreading her large wings wide, she catches a draft, slowly rising from the ground before flexing the muscles in her back, which no human had, making her wings move and rising into the air at a higher speed than she could run at.
Oren was creating another portal below her before he jumped in. Luna scanned the area and discovered him attempting to disarm one of the missiles. Banking a hard right, Luna went after a different missile in an attempt to do the same.*

*He couldnt find how to disarm the missle.It was a real profesional job,impossible to disarm unless you blew it up....
"Think Oren think!!!What did Master Inri teach you?!?!I got it!!!"Using what balance he had,he pointed one hand tward the missle,the other tward the base,and focused his eyes twared Luna,portals appeared in all of these places.He jumped through the last one and went to luna....while the missle hit the fortress,not having time for formalities,he simple claped his hand over her eyes,and his own.
"Luna,grab my shoulders,and when i say pull me up...."all the missles where coming tward them except the one they were standing on."AHAHHAHA"portals appeared in front of all of them,"NOW!!!!"Luna pulled him up as the missles hit the fortress,covering there eyes with his hands,Oren created another portal,but this time he pulled Luna through,and they both fell onto a roof of the fortress,the guards injured and disorderly.*

*Luna circles one of the missiles, careful to keep her distance, but could find no weak spot or way to disarm the weapon. Oren was having equally as much trouble with his missile. Luna circled again, she could see Oren concentrating, three different portals appearing as he commanded, one being near to where Luna was hovering.
Luna felt a hand clasp over her eyes as Oren exited the portal that had appeared near her, the missiles ported to the fortress, wreaking destruction upon those who had sent them. "Luna, grab my shoulders, and when I say pull me up...." she heard him say, doing as he asked. Luna could feel his muscles tense as he called upon his powers once again. "NOW!!!!" he yelled. Luna flexed her muscles again, adjusting the position of her wings, making them rise quickly into the air, entering the cool shadows of a portal.
They feel through a second portal onto the roof of the fortress, any living guards that remained injured and disoriented. Luna picked herself off of the ground, Oren doing the same. Some of the guards attacked, others retreated, no doubt to alert others or to save their own hides. Luna turned, facing their attackers and with a smirk, easily did away with her share, Oren did the same as they made their way into the fortress.*

*Oren saw a group of though looking guards exit a building.He jumped down and unsheathed his spears,the cloth swirling almost mysticaly though the air as he got to them before gravity.The guards wore ornate armor,he recognized it...but couldnt place it.....
The unsheathed katanas similar to his,he took off his hood,signaled to Luna to have fun with the others,these were his."One move and it will be your last."he said,the chill of his voice penetrated their very soul...Oren??Oren is that you??Oren raised his spears"How do you know my name!"Oren its us,your brothers from the dojo.....that night...we couldnt find you,we helped mistress Raven overthrow Inri,we are free from his torment,and rich.Oren couldnt speak,his lips quivered.....the burned corpse of Master Inri haunting his mind.....
So you gonna join us,we can kill that girl easy,or.....well you know.Woosh,slice,crumple the speaker was dead,never even seeing Oren move.Oren what did you do that for,he was your brother."No....my brothers died that night at the Dojo,your bandits,and im being paid for every one of you i kill."Within the blink of an eyelid they were all dead.Calling on all of his strength he leaped from building to building,making it too an arena of sorts.
"RAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!"he screamed,Luna was there too,blood on her claws,a woman with a black dress and purple make up walked out....she resembled darkness,feathers on her sleaves.So you brats made it past my elite guard....hmmm,they werent as strong as i had predicted.No matter,lets see how you children deal with this.A wave of fear washed over Oren and Luna....those eyes were evil...he had seen he slaughter of Master Inri and the moment of his own death.....Luna simply fell to her knees in the may girls did and began to cry..Oren had always been strong and capable,but he couldnt move,he just threw up...the scene was so horrid....that woman was coming with a sword that resembled a ravens wing...but he couldnt save them,he couldnt move..MOVE OREN MOVE!!!!I HAVE TO SAVE US!!!!!*

*Oren jumped from his position near Luna, going off to fight a group of rough looking men, leaving her the others they had first encountered. They were fairly easy to fight off, even with their weapons, for most of them were injured, making them easy opponents. She killed most simply using her claws, only resorting to her shadows when too many ganged up on her, pushing them back on their arses. It was easy enough to rip out their throats or lash at their eyes. Some tried using their kantanas, but Luna's speed was formidable, enabling her to escape injury and take out the attacker.
Oren began leaping between rooftops at an amazing speed, Luna taking off and following, landing in an arena like area, Oren right beside her."RAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!" Oren roared out, blood was dripping from Luna's claws, splattering on the ground as a figure appeared at the other end of the arena.
She was dressed in all black, her sleeves and collar adorned with black feathers, her face was decorated in dark purple makeup. She looked much like her name, her posture demanding respect, everything from her emanating an evil aura as she spoke. "So you brats made it past my elite guard....hmmm, they weren't as strong as I had predicted. No matter, let's see how you children deal with this." She waved a hand, a sensation of panic as well as fear washing over the two young hunters.
Luna fell to the ground on her knees, clutching her arms and rocking slightly. Hot tears welled up in her eyes, spilling down over her cheeks and into the dust on the floor. Oren was frozen in place, in a mental state of pain. Memories long forgotten were coming back to Luna in small bursts. Memories of her parents, or more specifically, her father.
She could remember what he had looked like, she had obviously taken after her mother. He looked human except his skin was black, his red veins showing through. He had wings like Luna did. She remembered playing with him as a child and how happy she had been, her human mother looking on and laughing. The memory changed to one of pain and sorrow, her father having been gravely injured in a battle with a mortal child. The child had not killed him, but the wounds did. She remembered being there when he died. Everything faded after that.
A sharp cry alerted her, Miss Raven having abandoned her spot, wielding a sword that resembled a raven's wing. Oren was having an internal struggle. Luna forced herself into motion, pushing Oren out of the way as Mis Raven's sword struck the ground where they had stood moments before.*

*Luna pushed him out of the way,but was left with the woman right there.MOVE!!! Now,you shall die first my dear girl...but first,you seem confused about your past,about the human who killed your father...well,she pointed at Oren,it was HIM!!!"AAAUHAUAH!!!"Oren had bitten his hand,and blood was running profusley.
He lunged at the woman and made a stabbing motion with his spears,but she knocked them out of his hand and made an attack,but he drew his sword and blocked,the force of the attack knocking him backwards.He was the one to kill your father,him..."SHUT UP!!!"he lunged but was knocked away.You want to know how i know that you killed her father dont you boy?You killed him because of that accursed blood of yours,your fathers blood,the demon slayer Onji Renrick.
Oren clutched his head....he looked at Luna,the tears still coming,but she also looked betrayed,hurt,as if he had done something vile to her.The woman walked over to him and bent down to wisper.I know this because i am demon....that was it,his Renrick blood boiled and he hit the woman so hard she flew backwards.His pupils dissapered and his eyes were white...the air around him started to swirl,disturbing his cloak and hair.His sword glowed,it shifted,a pure silver blade appeared,the hilt changed to pure black,and the the blade warped to form what looked like a fang."Raven,demon of dark skys...i hearby decree you as unholy,you will be terminated."he spoke with the voice of a boy and a man,combined,the woman snickered,but scremed when the blade disolved her arm.AHHH you brat,ill kill you,"No.."he made one quick swipe and she was gone.
He turned to Luna,who had a horrified look on her face,"Luna ..no!!I wont let you use me for this!!!You dont have a choice boy,its in your blood!NOO!!"there was a flash of light and he was Oren.....*

*Luna had managed to move Oren, Miss Raven's blade just barely missing them. Her knees buckled and she fell into a sitting position on the ground, her mind in a daze form the sparks of memories that had returned, tears still stinging her eyes. Miss Raven straightened her posture, a grin spreading across her dark features.
She turned to Luna, saying in a mocking tone "Now,you shall die first my dear girl... but first, you seem confused about your past, about the human who killed your father..." Luna turned her gaze upward into the face of the woman, trying to focus through her confusion. Miss Raven pointed a thin finger at Oren "It was HIM!!!" Luna looked at Oren for an explanation. This evil woman must be lying, Oren was her friend, wasn't he? Oren had bitten his hand, blood spilling from the wound and falling to the ground in crimson droplets.
He thrust his spears at Miss Raven, but they were knocked aside, she countered, only to be pushed back by a quickly drawn blade. "He was the one to kill your father, him..." she repeated, putting salt in the wound. "SHUT UP!!!" Oren roared, drawing the woman's attention to himself. "You want to know how I know that you killed her father don't you boy? You killed him because of that accursed blood of yours, your father's blood, the demon slayer Onji Renrick." Luna had heard that name before, Oren himself had spoken it.
Luna looked to Oren for an explanation, a denial, anything that would prove that Miss Raven was telling lies. Instead he clutched his head, Miss Raven approached him and whispered "I know this because I am demon." Rage contorted Oren's face as he threw a punch at the vile woman, sending her flying backwards. Oren straightened, his pupils growing smaller and then disappearing, a wind rising from nowhere, ruffling his coat and hair. He picked up his sword and it began to glow and change, the blade becoming the purest of silver and changing into the shape of what appeared to be a fang, the hilt turning the deepest of black. "Raven, demon of dark skys... I hearby decree you as unholy, you will be terminated."
Miss Raven laughed, the laughter turning into a shriek as Oren severed her arm, the remains disappearing. "AHHH you brat!" she shrieked "I'll kill you!" "No.." was all Oren said in a voice that was not his own, but at the same time was, as if it were two or more voices combined. He slashed at her with his sword, the blade severing her body before she dissolved into a black mist.
He turned to Luna, approaching her as he did so. She looked at him, fear and confusion written on her face, her mind a tumult of shock and pain. This wasn't her friend Oren, he was different somehow, a threat to her. "Luna..." he said in that strange voice. "No!!" he stopped mid-step, dropping his blade "I won't let you use me for this!!! You don't have a choice boy, it's in your blood! NOO!!"
A flash of light engulfed him, making Luna turn away. The light dissolved and she turned back, the Oren she knew now standing before her. He looked exhausted, almost as if he ere going to collapse. All around them soldiers that Miss Raven had commanded were in a state of disarray, not quite sure of what to do. Luna stood, rather shakily and looked to Oren for answers. She needed to know if Miss Raven was telling the truth, if indeed Oren had been the one that had caused the death of her father. She placed a hand to her head, trying to stop th ememoies for burning and the tears from falling. "Oren..." she started, but was unsure of what to say.*

*Luna started to speak,but Oren quickly turned away,walking into the room that Raven had come from.Luna seemed to follow,but still shaken.Inside he was fighting a war with himself."UUUHUHUHU!!!HOW DID I LET MYSELF LOSE CONTROL LIKE THAT!!!"he hit himself."YOU ALMOST KILLED HER YOU IDIOT!!!he sat down in a chair across from a table,his head in his hands,the blood from his wound drying."why father,why did you have to pass on this stupid blood to me!!i didnt ask to do this."
He saw Luna staring at him,confusion filling her features..."Yes......its true,but with shades of grey.....what you saw back there was my inner evil..people say that to kill demons you have to be a demon youself,well that was it.....I killed your father because i lost control of him,thats why i stay with you,and protect you....i feel obligated,but thats not only it,i like you,your my friend,but....if i ever lose control again you run,dont look back run with all of your heart,he wont show mercy even to a half demon.
He waited for her reply,he hoped to god she wouldnt leave because of what he did....he couldnt live knowing she was alone and in danger.*

*As Luna said Oren's name he turned walking off in the direction Miss Raven had come from. She followed, a bit hesitantly and still somewhat shaky on her feet. Oren was yelling to himself and then he struck himself, which shocked Luna, making her pause as Oren entered a separate chamber.
She entered after him and saw him sitting gin a chair that belonged to a dinner table he had his head in his hands and was mumbling into them, all remaining blood having dried. He looked up at her as she entered and in answer to her mental questioning and to the claims Miss Raven had made said "Yes......its true, but with shades of grey..... what you saw back there was my inner evil.. people say that to kill demons you have to be a demon yourself, well that was it..... I killed your father because I lost control of him, that's why I stay with you, and protect you.... I feel obligated, but that's not only it, I like you, your my friend, but.... if I ever lose control again you run, don't look back, run with all of your heart, he won't show mercy even to a half demon."
Luna looked at him, slowly nodding her head and taking in all the information he had laid out for her. She knew what he was talking about. About the inner demons, heck she was a half demon, and knew only too well what burden their blood carried.
"Well" she began, slowly at first, "I can't really blame you, can I? The way I see it, it isn't really your fault, it's your blood. I have the same problem with my anger sometimes, I got that from my father. You can't help what you are, and neither can I. I'm sorry, but I can't give you my word that I'll run if you turn again, it's not really my way of dealing with things." Luna attempts to give Oren a smile and ease his mind. "So," she begins again "where to next?"

*wouldnt run?Oren let out a long sigh,"Im not a demon,but demon slayers bundle their evil side up,and throw it all at demons,thats why demons rarley win,the merciless rage that they use is nothing compared to that of a slayer."where to?he didint know.
"I...I need some time to think....looks like they have living supplies here,i assume yoll want to take a shower first?I need to,but your a girl so it dosent matter to me,and since there is only one bed here ill sleep in the barracks."he waited for her reply,getting slightly lost in thought.*

*Oren looked at her both quizzically and doubtfully. "I'm not a demon, but demon slayers bundle their evil side up, and throw it all at demons, that's why demons rarely win, the merciless rage that they use is nothing compared to that of a slayer." he explained. Luna thought for a moment. She had indeed heard of many slayers that had taken down very powerful demons.
"I...I need some time to think...." Oren said before she could say anything to him. "Looks like they have living supplies here, I assume you'll want to take a shower first? I need to, but your a girl so it doesn't matter to me, and since there is only one bed here Ill sleep in the barracks." Luna nodded, she was covered in the blood of the humans she had slain as well as dirt and grime, a shower sounded wonderful. She thought about objecting to him sleeping in the barracks and going herself, she had slept in worst conditions, but knowing him, he had probably made up his mind.
"Well," she said, bringing him from his thoughts "if you think it's best, then I suppose I could at least try to heed your warning, although as I said, I can't give you my full promise. Stubbornness is also a rather bad trait I have, you know."

*he gave her a half hearted smile.She went to the bathroom,he was about to walk out when he saw a library.As he walked in he heard the silent thud as cloths hit the floor,and water started running.
This library was amazing,it has books from all over the world.He saw a book on demon slayers,its giant black and red leather cover was ominous.Oren opended it to find a red eyed figure staring back at him,it looked erily like him,but the man had a beard and wore his long hair in a ponytail.It was his father,Onji Renrick,the greatest demon slayer ever born,droned the book.
He cam to a section that explained being a slayer,its relics,and what not,he began to read,mesmerized,he sat on the table reading.Completly forgetting about Lunas vanity.*

*Luna steps from the bathroom, feeling refreshed, all traces of blood and dirt having been washed away. Oren was no longer in the room she had left him in. A low droning sound caught her attention. She exited the room, walking down the corridor and coming upon a library. The room was emence, books filling shelves from the floor to the ceiling, it was the largest library she had ever seen. Oren was siting in a chair listening to a book talk about it's subject. She could scarcely hear the word 'slayer' mentioned in the hushed voice. This library was filled with enchanted books.
Luna, not wishing to disturb him approached a bookshelf, scanning the bindings, each quietly proclaiming their titles. One such book caught her attention, the hushed voice telling her it's subject was demons. She pulled it out of it's shelf, wiping the thin layer of dust from the pages and leather cover. She opened the front cover and watched as the pages turned a few times before landing on the Index. This book told of all the great demons and their histories, it even mentioned notable slayers.
She scanned the pages, the hushed voice speaking random words from each page she passed. Finding nothing of particular interest, she went to close the book when she stopped short. The enchanted book had whispered another name, one that was somehow familiar to her. She located the page and opened up to it.
"Ukobach" the book whispered. He was a demon of fire, which is where Luna had received her gift from. She looked at the picture it presented of him, it was rough, but more or less accurate. She ripped out the page, thinking no one would miss it, and placed it into her pocket before exiting the library, not wanting to disturb Oren from his studies, and heading back to her temporary room.*

*Oren saw Luna walk in,she was wearing her night cloths,but he didint speak,he just kept reading.The book spoke of something,he knew that demon slayers had inner evil,but the book talked of angles...
He went to take a shower,he folded his old clothes and put them in his bag,taking out his new ones.The hot water felt good,and helped him think.When he got out he put on a pendent that he kept but never wore,its jewle was obsidian,his mother had made it for him.
When he walked out he heard a scream,he rushed tward the library,and there was Luna floating as a demon woman held her with telekinetic powers.He drew his sword.Wair Oren Renrick,i mean no harm,i am here to talk to you young ones about your furtures.*
