Snippet #1620696

"KAGE!!!!!" A deep booming voice echoed around the mansion and the half-kitsune slid around a corner. He leaned against a wall to relax a bit and try to catch his breath. He reached down to his belt where he felt for another vial of holy water. He only had a few left and he had to use them sparingly. Suddenly, a stake was pushed through a wall from the other side next to his head.

"Shit," Kage swore as he took off at a run. His nose was bleeding and the loss of blood made him dizzy. He lost blood faster than a human and he didn't have that much to spare before he had caught a demon's fist with his face. The man who had tried to stake him pushed through the mansion wall and looked furious. Half of his face was burnt and still sizzling from where holy water had been dumped. Charon spread his great black wings and Kage tried running even faster. He was screwed if Charon got close to him. He made it outside into the sun where there were shadows and Kage slipped into one, becoming a shadow himself. That's when the imps attacked.

Shadowy imps could affect him in this state and Kage was learning this the hard way as Charon let his minions try and take him. "If you ever show your face here again I will stake you!" Kage continued running as stakes were thrown past him at a deadly speed. Kage looked back to see Charon going back into the destroyed mansion and Kage sighed. He hadn't been able to get what he wanted (althought messing up Charon's face was good for him), his mom.

Kage continued at a sprint before he realized just how much blood he had lost. And it was a simple nose bleed! Kage's fangs ached as did his soul. He was hungry and thirsty and he didn't know where a nearby cemetary was. He needed a necromancer with him! But those were scarce that would openly give him a soul to eat.

He began sniffing around before catching onto the smell of a human. He followed the scent which brought him to a destroyed house which looked vaguely familar. Then he heard a voice that he recognized from his past. "Amber!" He shouted, running up to the house. He went inside, gasping for breath and looking for the human. He was older than any of the kids there, but he didn't look it. He grew at a strange rate. His hair was sticking up at random spots with his clothes torn. He usually dressed nicely but he hadn't been able to since he started spying on the demon. He glanced around the group and waved at anyone he didn't know. "Hiya, I'm Ka-" he stopped as he realized there was a hirule there. "Who the hell are you!?" He shouted, immediately taking up a defensive stance.
