[Lilith]

The slow, heavy steps of boots crunched against the gravelly surface as a silver haired girl strode silently through the mist, her hands in the pockets of her bright red trenchcoat. The ends of it flapped in the wind, and a sword was held in place on her back by an invisible strap. The mist had a deep chill to it, but the girl did not shrink back from it, keeping herself hidden inside her coat. No, she enjoyed the cold. The collar of the trenchcoat stood up, framing her neck, and she wore a short skirted dress with white rims underneath. However, she also had a blackened leather belt around her waist, and tucked into it were two thin bladed daggers. Aside from the belt, she also wore a large pouch that covered half of her hip, filled with deadly tricks like throwing needles and kunai and ninja stars. Resting beneath her coat were dour shuriken, folded up and hidden. Only the occasional clank said something was there.

The blood-red eyed girl was not surprised as her own sword was ripped from her back and plunged into her heart as the demon raced to her front, But she just stood there emotionlessly. Slowly, a smirk rose to her lips as the ugly devil chuckled throatily and bagan to speak. "I know all about you..."
"Then you know such a petty thing like this will not kill me."
She said calmly, watching the demon's face turn from triumph the defeat as the sword was pulled from her heart by her own hand, and brandished before it swiped through the hideous being, who dropped like a fly. Blood poured from her wound freely, but no pain was evident on her face. "And you also know why my hirers hired me."
She finished, sheathing the sword after slicing off the devil's head and placing it into a sack, which she slung over her back, blood dripping from the severed crania. She turned around and walked calmly back the way she'd came, reminding herself to get another dress once she had her pay. She walked slowly down the path, but before she could go much farther, the sky darkened, and thunder rolled through the cumulonimbus clouds. "Think this job was be going to be easy, eh girly? Think again!"
An evil sounding voice stated, and she sighed as about twenty devils rose from around her. "Actually... I find it very ironic that I still consider this a boring game."
She replied, her eyes closed as she dropped the head, drawing a few needles from her pouch. She began spinning in a rapid order, and suddenly the needles flew from her hands, like bullets, and several demons were taken down right there. She skidded to a halt, gravel flying from her heel that dug into the ground, and a fourteen inch gun faded into her hand. She drew the trigger, killing the remaining demons. with only two explosive nitrate rounds. The gun quickly disaparated, and she grabbed the bloody parcel of a devil head again, stepping over the carcasses of the other demons with that slow, steady pace again. Hopefully, she could sleepwalk the rest of the way... and not be bothered for the remaining seven miles back to the village.

(I hope you don't mind me joining in Lilith ^^,)

The great Lady Moon hung in sky showing her full pale face that basked the village in her rays of light. The people if the village had retired to their homes long before the sun set, tired from the chaos that erupted in the settlement. But on the roof of the human lord that resided in this quaint place, laid a woman that was still clutching her body to keep from making noise that would show that her presence stilled remained here. The hazelnut haired woman still could remember her little game of cat and mouse, unfortunately the mouse won this time. It was fun to play with the guards that were littered around the court yard just before the human lord’s mansion. Luckily the Lord had some sense of gathering the out cold forms of the guards, from when she would catch two guards attention and let them get on opposite sides of each other. Then when they came charging towards her at the last second she would do two back flips and see the guards unconscious on the floor. However no matter how many times she repeated this the guards did it over and over again. Without anything more interesting than that she left getting bored of the game.

Still remembering that always seemed to leave her in a giggle fit. "Hmmmmmmmm… maybe a cat nap would do me some good,” she whispered to herself, once regaining her composure. There her once pale skin turned a shade of dark gray as well as her Kimono and Sashinuki Hakama. Soon all you could tell of the woman was a grayish form, in slow yet fast rate the form soon started to shrink and form the look of a cat. Dissembling the shadows from her new form her black fur shined in the moon light, but ever laughing eyes remained an olive green color. Sighing in satisfaction, she stretched and slowly laid down ready to take a nice cat nap from all the commotion.

Some said the assassin had very long and quick strides, although she denied it. Only an hour had passed and she had completed six miles. But then it came to her attention that a cat was on the side of her path. Her crunching footsteps slowed to a halt. She could sense the demonic aura around the animal, and she kept her eyes closed, as usual, a chuckle escaping her throat. "Hello demon."
She said in a low voice. She looked up, towards the village that was now in sight, her gleaming, bloody eyes resting on the building that stood at most attention; the mansion the demon had recently been. The bloodied sack had darkened a few places on her overcoat, however it did not make much of a difference, since the article of clothing was the same color, but a few shades lighter. She had chosen it for a reason. Her footsteps once more crunched, as she moved on. Although the devil's head was as light as a feather, at least to her, she was tired of having only one free hand. Lilith crouched, and then went into a speed difficult for the naked eye to track. It was only mere moments later she reached her destination. The Lord was standing in front, awaiting her. Of course he was quite surprised when she just appeared, seemingly, in a crouch. She stood, the trenchcoat flapping slightly. "I need a harder job then that..."
She said coldly, and she tossed him the bag. Blood flew through the air, and the man caught it. He glanced inside to make sure it wasn't just any demon, and he gave her a satisfied grin. "Well done. I already have another venture for you."
She smirked, catching a jingling black parcel that flew at her from the man next to him. She opened it herself, lazily counting the notes and coins inside. She pulled the noose closed, and placed it in a pocket in her coat. "Shoot."
She replied, cramming her hands in her pockets and waiting patiently. "Lately a demon has been coming around, a woman, and she's been taunting my guards. You see, I tire of the complaints, and finding my men unconscious while they should be working irates me. I'll pay a good fee to know she won't be coming back. Ever."
He explained. Lilith laughed. "Oh but it would be so much more senseful for your guards not to chase after her and hurt themselves, correct?"
The man froze, giving her a glare. "Just kill her and I'll gladly pay for your trouble. You are here to be hired and paid, not to give me trouble."
She smirked, and in an instant, he was backed against the wall, feet hovering above the floor and her hand at his throat, the other with one of those deadly, thin daggers. "If you truly believe that, then you are very mistaken."
It took the guards a moment to react, but they already had their spears pointed at her heart. She smirked, letting go of the blue faced man, and turned towards a spear in specific. She walked right into it, letting it go through her heart and exit out her back. "And if you think you can kill me... Think again."
She said, and ripped the spear from her flesh and from his grasp, whirling it around like a baton and watching as it ripped a hole in his skull. The other men started attacking, and as one wrapped his arms around her throat from behind, she ducked forward, making him fly in front of her, landing on his back, the breath knocked out of him. The other four charged her all at one, spears raised, and she took out four needles, jumping up above them and doing a backflip, throwing the sharp, thin bits of metal at them. Each one found a man, hitting them in the skull. She drew her sword, landing with a thud, and sliced the man who had lost his wind through the chest, for he was attempting to raise a spear to her head. She sheathed her sword, glancing at the lord, who had gone pale. "Am I still a tool to use?"
She said, and she took the needles from the mens' cranias, listening with a malicious smile as the sound of blood sucking at them went into her ears. She placed them with the others, after wiping the blood off with a piece of cloth. She walked over to the Lord again, and she took a small bag of money he had offered her for the she-demon's demise, and placed it with the other. "For my trouble."
She said, and in a blink of an eye, was gone. She reappeared at the demon cat's side, and she went to lean against a tree, one foot propped up on it behind her and the other placed on the ground. The smell of fresh human blood was on her, and she wondered if the demon would pick up on it quickly enough.

“Hmmmm… I wonder when the guards down in the cellar to the right of the entrance to manor will notice that their dear lord is dead as well as their comrades,” Eichi said to the girl as she just lazed there on the floor, eyes still closed and her ears drooping lazily. She didn’t have to see or hear what happened to know, the blood of them was evident all over the place as on the girl. Yawning a bit, she stood up from her position and stretched her long cat legs getting rid of the laziness from her bones and flesh. She looked up the vampire and smiled as much as a cat smile, which really was just showing her fangs with her eyes showing the laughter and happiness.
“I guess I do owe you something, for getting rid of the moron for me,” pausing to direct her eyes to the blood bathed ground that the human lord resided. Looking back to the girl, she chuckled “It saved me from having to do the bloody work myself.” Narrowing her eyes, she took up a stern look on her face. “Don’t think your invincible little huntress, you may never known that the spear that you walked right into could have been silver. Then were would you be……. dead on the floor, but then again I’m sure you would have known if it was silver or not before you let it plunge into you heart.” Sighing she sat there, nothing else to do since killing the lord was her job. She had no dead line and the human lord from 20 miles away wasn't expecting her in till another three days. It wasn’t that she required that much time, she just liked to play with their emotions and make their mind break under pressure.
Thinking of what to do next she immediately sensed the presence of the humans below moving towards the door. Without glancing at the huntress to see if she sensed it as well, Eichi jumped into the vampires lap and started to twist her aura to match that of a cat, using some of her youki she then laid down and closed her eyes as she pulled the aura in suppressing it to a measly nothing.

[Lilith]

The vampiress chuckled at the demon's comment about silver. "Not just any silver would kill one such as me. No... it would have to be blessed silver, which is hard to get a hold of. Doused in holy water and kissed by a priest..."
She smirked. "True priests are difficult to find these days."
She grunted, and her eyes watched as humans began coming forth from the village. Her eyes turned black, and she became a shadow, the cat doing so as well. There was no sign of her or the other demon by the time she had fully melted into the shadows. And since it was night... the power was all the more effective. Lilith hardly found humans difficult to kill; but she didn't feel like eliminating them all like rats at the moment. Glancing at the feline formed shadow demon, she spoke, however it was inaudible to any human. "Why hide your aura? These incompetent beings are incapable of feeling it, unless there is a priestess among them, which I highly doubt."
She yawned. She'd rather not waste her time on such things. Besides, if a priestess was among them, Lilith would have sensed her first. That or she'd just eliminate her. So she waited.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

“I know little huntress, it is just what I do. I was taught that,” eyeing the huntress then looking at the oncoming humans. She looked at the vampiress in the eyes, “I was just being abnormally lazy.” She started to giggle at her laziness, then took up a stern look on her face.
The humans were drawing near at their slow walk to the manor. A devilish smile appeared on her cat face as she looked at the humans. Without another word with the huntress she dashed from her shadowing spot to turn up in the middle of the manor court yard. Awaiting the arrival of the humans and her plan to go to work. Pay back time to the Lord 20 miles away who insulted her capabilities and her clan. There she turned the dark gray color and morph to the figure of woman. Dismissing the shadows the black hair of the woman fell down. Her kimono was shredded and bloodied with the once fresh flowers that decorated her hair were now all but torn from her hair making the black hair seem disheveled. The demoness sat down as she slowly closed her eyes and twist her aura yet again into that of humans. Still keeping the aura at a stable level, she flinched as the pressure kept up around her body. Shaking her head to rid of the pain, she laid down as if she was here during the attach trying to bring fake tears to her eyes she silently wept waiting for the humans to come.
As the humans approached one of the men from the group ran to her kneeling down, trying to pull her up. As the demoness let herself be pulled up tears fell freely from her sad eyes. “What happened here,” asked the man who pulled the demoness up. She wept some more before replying “It was horrible, the men fought so hard for our Lord but they were easily succumbed. They tried to hurt me, I was so scared I thought they were going to kill me as they did to our Lord.” She then went back to a weeping fit, breathing hard barley able to breath the cold air. One of the men after examined the damage looked at the demoness. Walking up to her, he held her hands trying to have her look him in the eye.
“Who did this to you my lady.” the man pleaded. Eichi slowly looked him in the eyes with her reddened deep black eyes. Swallowing up her tears she held tighter to his hands ready to give out the name.

[Lilith]

Lilith smirked as the shadow demon formed a web of lies around the humans, seeming very convincing. If Lilith had recently walked upon the scene, she probably would have figured the same thing as the men; however instead she'd end up feeding instead of assisting. She melded into the shadows, and she then saw from a different angle; a closer one in the shadow of another tree. If she had become solid, if she had come to her normal form, none of the humans would have been able to see her, however Eichi would have. So she apparated. She leaned against the tree, and mouthed her own name; Lilith. Soundlessly, she disappeared into the shadows again, and then once more changed points of view. Now she was completely behind the demoness, where everyone but Eichi would be able to see her if she appeared. But she did not; she waited for the outcome.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

The humans were hanging of every word she said, listening intently to what she had to say. Humans were so easy to fool, she kept her eyes on the man but to the side she could see what the huntress had mouthed, Lilth. That’s quite a lovely name, she said to herself, but now is the time to get to the part were they listen to what I have to say, now if I’m correct they should do what I hope they would do. With more tears running down her face, she gulped a breath of air as her arms started to shake. “ His men swarmed from the north, slicing all the guards who tried to protect our lord. I tried my best I did really, but our lord wouldn‘t listen to reason. And..and….he was….KILLED,” The demoness wailed out in tears, as if she was remembering hour the human lord was killed. “In bloody murder,” she screamed as she put her hands to her face and fell down to the floor on her knees. With that done there was nothing more that she could do to provoke the men. The men were in hushed whispers when one of them called out. “The only one man with that kind of men could have done it was the Lord from just 20 miles north,” “Why would he have done something like that, we didn‘t do anything to him” Another cried out. “It’s all about land,” the man from before said. As the man who had asked the demoness as to what happened turned to all of them and cried out. “Well than we need to protect our own land. If these men couldn’t than, we’re better off doing it our selves.” The men hollered out in agreement. “Well than what are we waiting for,” The men started to march off, but one man came up to the demoness. Kneeling down he took her hand from the floor and brought her chin up to look as his face. “My Lady you should come with us, it is not safe here,” saying in a concerned voice, but than laughing he said, “It is not fit for a lady to be here around dead bodies and covered in blood, am I right,” The demoness smiled, but than shook her head.
“I’m afraid I can not go,” she said with a grim tone. The man looked at her bewildered. “What ever not for, My Lady,” he asked.

[Lilith]

Lilith smirked. Although she had intended for her name to be mentioned instead of the other Lord's, this was turning out just as amusing. She wondered on whether to intercept, but decided against it. The sly demon obviously wanted to get the other baron twenty miles away in trouble. And so the silver haired vampiress watched patiently. She blinked her maroon eyes, hands behind head as she stalked off to another shadow on the left of Eichi.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

“For I fear that one of use may not be able to go on,” she said as she hung her head a smirk on her face but not seen by the man but the huntress. She gathered the shadows from beneath the man making sure to encase them into hers slowly and unnoticed. The man blinked not understanding what the lady was saying. “I do not understand what a you are saying, are you dying my lady,” Her smirk just widened even more revealing her white teeth. “I can’t go on I’m afraid, please go on and avenge these men and protect you land.” she said sweetly pushing him to go on. With the gathered shadows she made them turn a blood red color as she made them pour from her shredded kimono and from her mouth. With a few more shakes she fell to the floor the shadows dancing on to the floor making a puddle of blood, her body stopped moving as the breath was stopped. The man gasped he did not see that she had sever wounds from all the layers of her kimono,but leaned his head down in prayer. He than turned and ran back to the village ready to help the other men as he could. Her finger twitched as she was sure the man was gone and breath was back into her lungs.
