A Hunting we will go...

"WHAT!?!?" Exclaimed the blonde beauty, surfer dude, and axe man. The ninja girl just stared at Gabriel with disdain.

                     "I see we have some disagreements in the crowd." Gabe gestured to everyone and said, "Speak your minds... unless you wish for me to read your minds and speak them for you?"

                      [Shit!] I thought, [I forgot that angels have the power to see the inner thoughts of the human mind.]

             I remembered how I was looking at the Axe wielder and flushed slightly. Just then all four slayers started complaining at once.

                      "ENOUGH!!!!" Boomed Gabriel, "Like it or not you guys must work with Ms. Chevalier over there and...."

                       "Whoa, you mean that girl is the famous demon slayer Black Rose?!?!" The blonde pointed at me and I felt both pride swelling inside 'cause I had a name for myself, "There's no way, she's too short."

            Now I wanted to beat that ditzy blonde senselessly.

                         "If ya wanna know if I'm the real deal Blondie," I said to her through gritted teeth, then I holstered my twin holy guns and started to walk toward the door, stopping at the door, "Then let's slay us a demon, shall we."

            Everyone's mouth dropped. All except for the axe wielder, who just then walked up to me, and said, "Sounds like fun. So, where do I sign up?"

"If he's in, then count me in too." the surfer guy said as he stepped up, "Name's Jacob, and this is my buddy Alex." he nudged the axe wielder.

            I raise an eyebrow at them. Buddies? As far as I knew a slayer never made nor was allowed to have buddies. I shrugged it off, seeing as to how I am the Senior and First-class slayer here (not to toot my own horn or anything), I didn't need friends when I was killing demons for a local ghost town or when a demon tried to possess a little girl in a distant farm town. I shrug it off. It's their problem not mine so I move my gaze on to the next piece of fresh meat..... Ms. Tall, blonde, and not so bright.

                          "What?" she snaps at me with a sort of attitude that only that spoiled princess could have, "I still don't believe you're the famous Black Rose, cause for starters she wouldn't be caught dead hunting in that..." she gestured toward my uniform which consist of mainly of the school's traditional colors of a red school blazer with a white tank top under it, brown fingerless leather gloves, knee high black combat boot, and a knee length brown skirt.

           I looked at myself and I had to admit this would not be one of my best hunting outfits. I was not going to let this little swan make me look bad. I walked up to her slowly, keeping eye contact the whole time and took off my school blazer and dropped it in front of her.

           I got in her face and said through my teeth, "Get it through your pretty little skull. When demons are attacking you there is no time to worry about how fashionable you look because if you ain't got your head in the game...." In the blink of an eye I go for a punch, she blocks and I grab her arm and flip her to the ground with my gun pressed against her throat (it was for emphasis I wasn't really going to hurt her.... just scare her), "...Then you're just another tasty meal for those demons out there to lap up off the streets."

             I could sense the fear coming off her. No doubt she'll believe I'm the real deal soon enough. Just then I heard Gabriel clap his hands.

                         "Bravo Sophie. Showing who's boss and displaying your superiority to them.... excellent first impression, and my advice to you would be to watch that temper of yours."

                           "Oh shut it Gabe," I said as I helped the Blondie up, "What's your name girl?"

   Surprisingly she did a curtsy and bowed her head as she said, "My name is Isabella Swanson and let me say you have some excellent reflexes."

               I smiled slightly at this but noticed someone was behind me. I whipped around to see the girl with long raven hair who dressed like a ninja, standing there staring at me.

               She knelt on one knee, head low and said, "I am Mia Fukashima and I shall be honored to fight by a legend like you."

               (OK,now she's kissing up. So I won't scare the shit out of her too)

               I rolled my eyes and said, "Save the brown nosing 'till after we get back.....Now eyes on the prize guys, 'cause we're going hunting!" I walk back to the door and put my hand on the doorknob ready to open the door.
