Ryu glanced around then replied in a low whisper. " I think.. the houndmaster has come searching for me. Another member of the scarlet crusaders.. We won't get far with his hounds all over the forest. " He pat Haru's head, and then slowly let his eyes close, before he sunk into the shadows. Ryu's clothes he wore were enchanted to help him be stealthy, but it required his demonic energy to power such a strong enchantment. So long as Ryu was strong, he could vanish from sight. Slowly moving through the shadows, there'd begin to be a scent of dog's blood as Ryu started taking the dogs out around them, so it wouldn't be as easy to track them. Though, the human's scent and aura was getting closer to them.
Soon Ryu returned to Haru, and he spoke to her. " Follow me. " His invisibility slowly faded off some, until he was a strange blur in the air. But, she could see him well enough.

"houndmaster? another one already", she whispered, dropping her head a little when he pat it. she looked around for him when he disappeared from her sight. though she could sense he was close by she still wondered how he managed all these tricks. she began to smell the dogs blood and blinked." What is he doing", she muttered to herself. she stood up brushing herself off a little when she jumped forward at the sound of Ryus voice. she nodded to him and followed after him, sensing the human getting closer.

An arrow was fired from between the many trees of the forest, and thudded a few feet in front of Haru. " Don't move. " It came from the voice of an older man. Bald, but with a short beard along his cheeks and chin. He held a bow in his hand, a katana at his hip. Ryu began to try and slink around a tree, to suprise attack the Houndmaster.
The houndmaster glared at Haru, notching another bow loosely, and demanding. " Tell me where Ryu is, or you get a slow death. " Hounds began to arrive from the nearby area, coming to surround Haru. They bared their teeth at her. Ryu closed in on the houndmaster.

Haru slid to a stop when the arrow landed in the ground a little ways in front of her. Her gaze went from the arrow in the ground to the bald man. She took a step back when she seen him get another arrow ready and shook her head. “ uh .. I don’t know where he is “, she stuttered, looking around at the dogs that began to surround her, she wasn’t as afraid of them as she was the katana and the bow. “ maybe he went back to the creepy castle or something “, she muttered she began to wonder her self what he was planning on doing her ears dropping a little but he hasn’t failed at this yet so she didn’t worry to much.

Ryu appeared behind the Houndmaster and unsheathed swiftly. The houndmaster doubled over, the blade grazing the leather armor on his back. The man turned swiftly and his holy aura rose. He fired his single shot directly into Ryu's chest, a gust of wind surrounding the arrow that knocked the demon into a tree, pinning him there by the arrow. Ryu grunted some, before he looked down at the arrow.
The Houndmaster chuckled, saying. " Yes.. that's poison. " Ryu growled at him, before his eyes flickered and he went limp on the tree. The houndmaster now turned his attention to Haru, notching another arrow to the bow. " He never really was good with bows... Shame. Ready to die, demon? " The man pointed his bow at Haru. Ryu's arm moved some. He wasn't dead?

Haru turned her head when she seen the arrow pin to the tree, she looked back seeing Ryu just there he looked like he was dead but was he really? “ Do I really have to answer that?”, she said in one of her smart ass tones. She couldn’t take her eyes off Ryu practically looking past the man that was pointing the arrow at her. She seen ryu arm move but just barely maybe her eyes were messing with her now. She took a step forward as if she was about to run past the hound master and go to Ryu, to pull the arrow out. “are you all really that desperate to get him back, geeze yall must really be bad off”, she said thinking of ways to get past the dogs and the hound master.

Ryu's demonic aura picked up more, and he snapped the arrow shaft, stepping off of the tree now. His eyes were glowing a dull red, his demonic aura shot up. Ryu chuckled at the houndmaster. " Loksey, you can't poison me! " It was true, Ryu's fangs made venom, which made him immune to many poisons. The houndmaster was a bit shocked, but he turned to try and shoot Ryu again. Ryu channeled his demonic energy into himself, and loksey fired. Ryu vanished, appearing behind Loksey now, between him and Haru. Ryu's katana found Loksey's back, and Ryu channeled all of his demonic energy through the sword and into Loksey's body. This resulted in a mild explosion, but not mild enough to keep his body from exploding, sending his organs and bones all along the ground and hanging from the trees.
The hounds yelped in suprise, looking at Ryu before cowering some and sprinting away. Haru would be fairly covered in blood from Loksey's explosion, but not as much since Ryu was inbetween Loksey and her. "..."

Haru she tried to turn and duck to avoid any of it getting on her face and hair but couldn’t get completely turned around in time. She only stood there and blinked a disgusted look on her face as she looked around at the blood and guts that seemed to have went everywhere close by. Everything happened so fast to her, she had never seen this much blood any where except back in the room at that castle. She looked down at herself and seen all the blood that had gotten on her and gagged. “ You cant do this without it going every where can you”, she said some what sarcastically. She walked up to ryu and tugged at him arm some. “ Your ok arent you? Come on lets just get back before they get some more out here after you kay?”, she said walking in front of him and seeing what had gotten on him.

Ryu's dimly lit eyes blinked occasionally at all of Haru's talking, but he merely flicked the blood off of his sword, before cleaning the blood on a piece of cloth that had at some point been Loksey's shirt. Satisfied, Ryu sheathed the katana easily and began walking back towards the demon slayer village. After a time of walking, Ryu seemed to stumble, but he caught himself easily enough. His eyes had slowly faded back to their normal golden color, and he rubbed at his face some. " Neh.. We need to hurry up and get to the village.. I need some sake and women. "

Haru shook her head at him as they began walking again, watching him stumble a few steps but catching himself successfully. . Of course the first thing he would say to her after that would be something about getting drunk and getting laid. neh that was Ryu for ya. She snickered and opened her mouth to say something mean to him about how the girls would run for him but thought twice " yeah I'm not even going to say it", she snickered. " You must be tired again, it looked like you used alot of energy back there, I dont see how you manage all this"

" I have a lot of stamina.. Though.. If I stop or rest any, my body goes downhill from there and I have to completely recover before I'm any good. " He mentioned back to her. He was still covered in blood, so when they came to the hotspring right outside the demon slayer village, Ryu saw no reason not to. He hopped into the hotspring, and scrubbed some of the blood out of his clothes. Rubbing his hands through his hair, he washed the blood out. His hair changed radical colors while doing this.

Haru was Irked when she seen him run for the Hotspring when they were so close to the village. " You couldnt wait till we got back to do this?! its right there....", she stopped in the middle of her sentence when she seen what his hair was doing. she pointed at him and laughed. " whats wrong with your hair I think ya might have gotten hit in the head to many times", she laughed.

" My ha-? Hey! You take that back! It's just a little.. weird.. " Ryu covered his hair with his hands, and quickly got out of the water. " Whatever, let's get to the village. Sit girl. " He now grumbled as he walked along, heading towards the village. He didn't smell too strongly of blood now.

" if a little is a lot maybe", she said laughing more as he covered his hair with his hands trying to keep her from seeing it. she bit her lip as he got out keeping herself from laughing, till he said sit, then she hit the ground with a thump moaning from the pain of her head hitting. " IT WAS WORTH THE SIT THING AT LEAST I GOT TA LAUGH AT JOO ", she said standing up and brushing herself off. she seen how far ahead of her she was and yelled at his back. " Hey no fair! You cant just walk off and leave me till im done making fun of you", she said running to catch up with him.

Ryu growled, yelling back. " Sit and shut up, girl! " He soon reached the village, and some of the slayers blinked, seeing them back after being gone for so long. Ryu gave them a small bow, then went to explain to them they had to be gone for a day or so, it was important business. After that being said, Ryu had no told them exactly what had happened. But for now, he went to a female demon slayer, and spoke to her. However, not propositioning hot sex.
