Chapter 2



"Riku Get up!" a blonde woman yelled through his door "You'll be late for school."

"Coming." the silver haired teen grumbled trying to just roll over.

"You had better hurry." she told him. "I have to get to work." She left his door to finish getting ready.



He waited till she had left and sat up to look at his clock. Seven am, he was already late anyway the coach had wanted everyone there early. He sighed, wondering if he could afford skip a day. he could make sure to catch the call and forge a note later. As he pondered his cell phone went off. grabbing it he flipped it open.

"Riku."

"Hey Riku man, it's Wakka, Tidus told the coach you had work last night, he said since ya missed this morning you can make it up at noon practice."

"All right, I'll be there in time for first period."

"Right see ya."

He got up showered and dressed. Stopping to look at the mark on his neck, he smirked and made sure his shirt covered it. He headed out for the bus. on the ride to school. he scribbled at his homework , since he had ignored it last night.

Riku was an only child of a single mother, his father had either died or left long before he was born. She worked two jobs to keep them in the crappy apartment they lived in now. He had even gotten job himself to help on occasion though recently he was out of work again the other often teased him that he should go into porn or something. He made it to school and he saw Tidus and Wakka waiting for him at the school gate. Tidus was holding a paper bag and a foam cup. He offered the spoils to Riku as he approached.

"Here."

"Thanks Tidus."

He opened the bag to reveal a double chocolate donut and a bavarian crème. As well as a coffee which had more sugar than coffee involved.

"You're welcome, besides you never eat at home anyway." the blonde joked and turned to go in the building.

The other two followed.

"So what did I miss?" he asked checking his locker.

"Passing mostly, it's no big deal, but you can't expect to stay on the team if you don't make it to practice."

"I know, I just couldn't get out of bed this morning." he told them.

"You getting sick again?" Tidus asked.

"No I don't think so I'm just tired."

"If you're sure."

Riku had gotten very sick their first year in high school, he had hardly been able to eat and keep anything down and had hardly been able to sleep feeling restless and just couldn't sit still. He'd only passed the year because his friends had constantly brought him his homework and handed it in to their teachers. His mother had been worried he'd die and the doctors she'd taken him to had just said he was anemic and done nothing to really help him. He'd finally gotten over it, and been able to make it to school their second year and joined the team. He was a decent player though not as good as Tidus and Wakka he could play. He'd missed practice a few times and the coach seemed to not like him much either.

They made it to class and Riku finished his coffee tossing the empty cup into the trash. The teacher glared at the three for being late but they ignored him as they took their seats and pulled out their books. Riku noticed the few empty seats but there had always been empty seats in their classes. Tidus passed him a note.



Yuffie's not here think she spent the night with a guy?



He answered.



Probably she'll be fine though she's been gone for days at a time before.



Yeah I guess.





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





The apartment was quiet except for the sound of heavy breathing and a shallow heartbeat. The curtains were drawn and made of heavy fabric which prevented any light from entering the room. There were no other lights except for a single candle which barley illuminated the single mattress on the floor of the room. On the mattress lay a young man of nineteen with shoulder length brown hair and storm colored eyes, he was naked except for a pair of blue boxers and chain on a collar around his neck and the other end was connected to a heavy ring in the floor which he had tried to pull out many times. He was breathing hard from the exertions of trying to get free. The chain was heavy and thick enough to stop a bull, so there was no possible way of escaping, yet. But he refused to just give up



In the doorway holding the single candle was a young woman with long dark hair and eyes her pale skin was set off by the blue sun dress she was wearing and her feet were bare. She smiled gently.

"you should stop struggling you know you might hurt yourself and i would hate to break my new toy so soon." Her voice was soft and girlish

"Why did you do this to me?" he demanded trying to struggle again.

"because I like you and I want to keep you." she told him with a slight shrug.

"Just kill me already."

"No I think not I want to keep you around though you need to eat." she knelt by the bed and pulled back her hair showing off the smooth curve of her pale neck.

"Never."

"Fine I'll just leave you here until your hunger gets worse and you can't help it, but don't say I didn't warn you." She stood and left taking the candle with her and plunging the room in darkness.



In the front room of her suite her sister stood looking at a painting on the wall of a small rural town.

"Hello sister." she greeted a small smile on her red lips.

"Sister, how is your new pet?" the brunette asked her green eyes sparkling.

"things are going well he's hungry he will feed in time. Would you like a drink?" she walked over to the mini-fridge.

"please."

"He is still wild of course so taming him will be a pleasure." She poured a glass of thick red liquid from a carafe in the mini-fridge in her room.

"It always is." She accepted a glass of dark red liquid and took a sip.

"It took awhile for yours didn't it?"

"yes, though it was easier with the child there."

"you are devious my dear sister to use a child to keep him calm."

"It worked didn't it."

"True maybe i should have grabbed that other one that was with him."

"you might still have a chance Axel tells me that the hunters followed you home they know the clan is in this city."

"Hunters it's been a while since we had them around." she sat on the couch.

"I know the last ones were what two years ago?"

"Yes what were their names again?"

"the crimson Squad i believe."





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Paine shivered slightly as she sat on the balcony of the room she shared with Yuna and Rikku cleaning her knives. Yuna caught the movement and looked up from her guns she was cleaning.

"Paine are you okay?" she asked concerned for her friend.

"I'm fine it was just the breeze."

"Okay." Yuna refrained from mentioning she had not felt a breeze all day even out on the balcony like they were the air seemed still. She returned to cleaning her guns.

The door opened suddenly and both nearly jumped as Rikku came bouncing in three fast food bags in one hand and a tray of drinks in the other. She wore a pair of cut off over-alls and a green tube top. Her hair was also down with only a few of her braids and beads visible.

"I got lunch." She called as she shut the door with her hip.

"Hey Rikku."

"Yunnie, Paine," she set down the drinks and looked in the bags. "One bean burrito with nachos and a chicken enchilada with a diet coke, for Yunnie" She handed Yuna the bag and a drink.

"Paine one taco salad with extra chicken and cinnamon chips and and ice tea." she handed her the second bag and a smaller cup.

"Thank you Rikku."

"Thanks Rikku."

"No problem and for me pintos and cheese, two chicken soft tacos and one steak Quessadilla and an enchilada, with a mountain dew."

" Rikku how can you put all that stuff away and not gain an inch?" Yuna asked.

"Because she jumps around like a three year old." paine said, monotonely eating her salad.

"Hey, meanie!" Rikku pouted.

"Not that I mind it." she whispered in the blonde's ear and Rikku blushed bright red. Yuna giggled and turned to her lunch.



Once Rikku was done blushing she pulled out her laptop and booted it up while she ate. She looked over the various files she had and checked her e-mail finding the information that Irvine had asked for she opened it and looked it over. The three of them were normally in charge of looking around suspicious places and taking care of the lesser creatures, zombies lesser vampires and the like while Squall Irvine and Seifer had always gone for the bigger ones. Fujin and Raijin were supposed to find the place. Rikku and Yuna and been trained alongside Squall and Irvine by Captain, Yuna's parents had died when she was ten and her uncle, Rikku's father had raised her along with his two children in the family business. Paine had been part of a whole different group once but two years before had lost them to a small clan that had been in another town. She had managed to survive and had ran into the other two girls on their first mission to go after a lone vampire terrorizing a town on the coast. She had joined up with them and they had worked together ever since. They normally worked as only the three of them but the Captain had put them Squall's and Seifer's teams together for this saying it was big, rikku frowned.

"Guys this is odd." she said between bites.

"what?" Yuna stood and looked over her shoulder.

"Look at this, a disappearance every month or so most in the area of the club we were at yesterday but also this there have been murders in this area as well but they were all murderers and the like so the police didn't try to hard to find the killer. According to this a few of them were on the web as pedophiles as well."

"So that is odd."

"It's happened before its most likely a young looking vampire luring in pedophiles and feeding off them." Paine shrugged taking a bite of her salad.

"But it's still killing." Yuna said.

"Yeah how do we deal with that one?"

"Ignore it." paine shrugged.

"How can we?"

"It's not a danger to any one yet."





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



It was late in the day when Roxas awoke in his hiding place, he listened for a moment but heard nothing but his companion's shallow breathing. He smiled and looked at the blonde next to him on the small bed. He was shirtless and at the moment there was still a hole over his heart with a knife protruding out of it. Roxas gently pulled out the knife muttering under his breath words he had heard long ago as the same knife was pulled out of his chest. He shook his head trying to dispel the vision of his own father doing to him what he was doing now, to the one person he actually cared about besides his little brother. He put the knife aside and cleaned the edges of the wound which was even now closing up and would soon be healed completely. After seeing to the wound he cleaned the knife and wrapped it back up into the black cloth he had used to smuggle it from the house. He would have to return it soon, before anyone knew it was gone.



Hyne stirred and brown eyes opened slowly Roxas smiled down at him.

"Hyne?"

"Hey Roxas?"he muttered weakly "what happened?"

"You were shot. It was really bad and I had to do it to save you I'm sorry."

"Do what?"

"I had to turn you."

"Oh, that's cool I'm like you now right?"

"Yes." he was hesitant." it was really bad I'm sorry I must have led the hunters there."

"It's fine Roxas, I wanted to be like you, I asked you before."

"But your brother and your mom you can't see them again they'll think you are a monster."

"I know but i can be with you." He leaned up and kissed Roxas. "but does that mean i have to hurt people?"

"Well Sora normally goes after crooks and the like Axel normally does too."

"Oh good." He smiled and kissed Roxas again.

He returned the kiss and pushed him back down in the bed. he skimmed fingers lightly over the smooth pale flesh. checking for any other injuries, he followed his fingers with his mouth kissing the flesh before him. Hyne gasped as Roxas stopped to tease a nipple.

"Roxas."

"Hmm?"

"Take me." He moaned. "please just take me."

"I though you'd never ask." He smirked and pulled down the ragged pants that were the only covering on Hyne's body. His own pants and underwear followed. He smirked and took Hyne dry,convinced he could handle it. It was usually a sexual connection that brought about the desire to change someone. The desire to drag them with you into the curse of internal life. Fingers cupping the pale hips he drew him closer together. The newly turned vampire hissed through his elongated canines. It hurt like hell at first, this had almost been what he expected, but who the hell could want this? His protests died out as Roxas claimed every inch of his body. The shallow bites and gentle kisses marking his flesh as his life been claimed. Above the writhing body, Roxas was torn. Using his body he attempted to make up for what he'd done. He found the prostate and brushed against it with every thrust. Circling the lover's swollen erection he pumped harder and faster, bringing them both to completion. Head thrown back into the half dead pillow Hyne screamed his name and Roxas couldn't help but smile.

Bestowing a light kiss to his brow,he made use of his power over him.

"Get some rest" he ordered softly drawing the blankets up "We'll head home as soon as the sun sets."

Xemnas looked over the club as they were preparing to open up for another night. It was perfect the hunting ground he had made for his clan. He smiled to himself, this modern era was a perfect for their kind. People killed one another daily blood was kept in places for transfusions and people were fools. He gave them a haven from their lives and his family took their lives at their leisure.

"Sheep. Or maybe cattle." he murmured.

"Master?" a young man with long blue hair and yellow eyes looked at him from his place at the desk in the office of the club.

"Just thinking Siax that these humans are nothing but cattle."

"I see, but what of the hunters?" the young man asked flipping through some papers on the desk.

"Merely the dog protecting the herd that is all. They fall as easily as the cattle."

"True the ones before were nothing."



"Sir I hate to interrupt." A girl looked into the office.

"Yes?"

"We have a flyer that some one is asking to have put up on the bulletin board another missing person."

"I see, put it up then."

"Yes sir." she left again and he smiled, the bait was set now to snare the dog to leave the herd unprotected.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Zell hung up the last flyer he had made and sighed, his little brother had gone missing and he had no clue where he had gone. the house where his one friend had supposedly lived was empty and looked like no one had lived there for years. the friend had also vanished a day ago and he couldn't ask him. as he was looking at the flyer a girl ran into him.

"Oh sorry." she said her short brown hair was loose and her eyes were mismatched blue and green. "I wasn't watching where I was going."

"It's okay." he smiled "I'm Zell."

"Yuna," she looked at the flyer. "Oh what's that?"

"My baby brother...he vanished a day or two ago."

"Oh really, was there anything odd about it?"

He looked at her quizzically but she seemed serious.

"Well, yeah he had a friend who vanished when he did."

"Really. um would you come with me?" she asked a thought dawning on her.

"Why?"

"Well, my boss might know something, he's a private detective and he's specializes in missing persons cases."

"Okay." he let her drag him to the hotel where the group was stationed.



Irvine answered with her first knock and looked over the two of them.

"Bringing guys home? Darlin' your uncle would kill me."

"Irvy I'm not bring in him home, he's a customer, He needs help."

"Oh, come on in then."



The room was a cramped, with two beds and a dresser with a tv on it. There was a bathroom where he had been just before the knock had interrupted him. His long auburn hair was loose and he had only a pair of pants on. he sat on one bed offering Zell a seat on the other.

"So, what is the problem?"

"My brother, he's been acting odd lately and a few days ago he disappeared and the friend he had met recently just vanished and the address he had was empty."

"I see. Yuna you got all that?"

"Yeah sounds like one of them to me."

"Them?"

"Yeah, now listen to me and try to understand this. We humans are not alone in this world, alot of the monsters and such that you hear about are real. "

"What do you mean?"

"Vampires, zombies, werewolves they really exist."

"You're kidding right?" he looked at the two of them hoping they were just joking.

"No." Yuna shook her head "They exist, we're pretty sure there is a clan in this city even."

"What does that have to do with my brother?"

"He might have been taken by them."

"That's impossible."He stood up quickly to leave, "I'm searching for my brother any you feed me this crap!"

"No, I've seen them, they killed my parents." Yuna told him. Tears glistened in her mismatched eyes.

"It's all right Yuna." Irvine patted her on the back and looked at Zell. "They are real and dangerous, If they have your brother there's not much hope, but we will try and help."

"All right, say I believe you, what can i do? he's my little brother and ma'll be devastated if she hears this."

"We don't usually let civilians help out, too much liability, might get killed or worse."

"What could be worse?"

"You could become one, turned ,and then there's no hope fore you" Yuna muttered.

"I don't care, I just want my brother."

Irvine saw the gloved fist clutching the photo desperately, his eyes earnest and fearful.

"We don't usually let civilians help but..." he muttered scratching his head.

Yuna picked up his meaning immediately.

"Can you fight?" she asked eyed the gloves the blonde wore.

"Some martial arts and I've been in a couple street fights."Zell mumbled.

"We can work with that." she answered



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



The corridors of the clan's home were completely dark or dimly lit depending on the members in that hall. not that light was really necessary anyway, Axel mused as he and Sora wandered the third floor halls toward one room in particular at the sixth door on the left corridor it opened and a shadow seemed to materialize out of it.

"Blah I want to suck your blood!" the shadow said loudly waving it's arms in the air above it's head. the shadow became a youth maybe a year Axel's junior with a blonde mullet and clear blue eyes. He wore a fake looking black cape over blue jeans and a shirt with a sports team on it. Here looked ridiculous at the moment.

"Demyx, that is so campy. No more vampire films for you." Sora laughed.

"And here we were worried about you." Axel smirked.

"I'm fine, I've been cooped up in my room for nearly a week." The blond pouted.

"You are not fine in the head sadly." Axel told him. "There are days I wonder why I turned you."

"Because you like me and couldn't last eternity without me" he said putting his hands together and blinking like a girl.

"Nah, I think it was so I would have an easy first turn." he grinned

"Hey!" Demyx pouted.

"It's okay Demyx, I would have turned you if Axel hadn't." Sora assured him patting his back.

"You're the best, Sora." Demyx hugged him.

"I know." he grinned.

"So, why haven't you turned anyone?"

"Don't know, I'm working on it though, I mean mom has said it has to be someone I want to keep around for a while."

"Really does that mean, I have to keep Demyx?"

"Forever."

"Sorry Axel you're stuck with me."

"I noticed, unless I bait you out to the hunters, oh well, speaking of hunts want to join us?"

"Sure."

"Well, come on I'm hungry."



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



the three of them headed out and joined the throng of people out and about in the darkness. they came to a part of town where bars lit up the night, quite a nice place to finds the kind of prey they wanted tonight. Sora saw a man who was perfect, he wore a suit and carried a briefcase but aside from that he exuded an aura that made some people leery of him. Sora separated from the other two who slipped into an alley to wait. Sora made himself look innocent and lost wandering among the people in a pair of ripped jeans and a too big t-shirt that made him look much younger. He approached the man who gave him a look that made him want to smirk but instead he kept the innocent look on his face.

"Can I help you kid?" the man asked him.

"I'm lost can you tell me where main street is?" large blue eyes widened artfully. the man smiled.

"Sure I'll show you the way."

"Oh thank you."



They approached the alley where the others waited and Sora led him inside. the man followed the boy eagerly and had no idea what hit him as Demyx and Axel pounced on him. the three of them drained him dry, leaving the corpse on the ground in the alley and headed for their home through the other end of the alley. as they came out of the alley Demyx frowned and let out a low growl.

"Demyx?"

"Hunters." he pointed at a trio of people coming out of another alley. a blonde man in a white coat and a tall muscular brunette guy in bright orange along with a smaller woman with short white hair in a blue shirt and khaki capris. "they were in the group that attacked us the other day."

"We should avoid them."Sora muttered. he had never dealt with hunters before.

"Rightfully so hunters are trouble." Axel muttered pushing the two younger vampires in another direction.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Seifer was annoyed, he had seen nothing even resembling his prey all night. and listening to Raijin and Fujin flirt lamely was irritating after awhile. He looked around and recognized a blonde who was walking with a red-head and smaller brunette. One look at the brunette's face and he frowned he had seen a face like that before.

"Fu, Rai do you see those three over there?"

"Vampires." Fujin said.

"Yeah, the blonde was in the attack a few days ago, ya know."

"Get em, they must be out to kill." he pulled out his gun and checked the chamber. He smirked and moved through the crowd to get to them.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first gunshot warned the three that they had been spotted. Not wanting a fight they fled, the fact that once closer to their home they could call for back up and teach these hunters a lesson drove them on. A bullet grazed Sora's side and Axel growled turing on their attackers.

"Axel?" the fledgling paused as his master stopped.

"Go, Demyx get him out of here." Axel ordered.

"Right."

Axel pulled a knife out of his boot and attacked Fujin who was closest. She drew out a knife and he was startled when he saw her. The aura around her was almost like a vampire's but not quite the same.

"A Dhampir?"

"So?"

"Well, this is a surprise let's dance."



Demyx ran with Sora hoping Axel would be fine, since he had been ordered to run he had no real choice in the matter. He saw Sora holding his side and frowned.

"Sora?"

"I'm fine, let's find some one to help Axel needs back up."

"Right."

As they ran they saw Roxas walking with an unfamiliar blonde but Roxas' smell was all over him.

"Roxas!"

"Sora?" the blonde was startled by his brother. "What happened you're hurt."

"I'm fine we were attacked by the hunters, Axel's fighting them now."

"Alone?" he looked worried

"Yeah."

"Okay, I'll go help,Hyne you should go with them." Roxas pushed his power on the other boy.

"I'd rather go with you." he tried to shake off the other vampire's power.

"You aren't ready for hunters yet."

"alright....."

"Sora can you keep an eye on him for me?"

"Sure."



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Seifer was surprised by a back attack by a shorter blonde who he recognized as one he had attacked a few days ago. The boy's blue eyes were filled with rage as he tried to get at his neck.

"Sorry, kid you're no match for me." he threw the blonde against a wall and struggled to get up.

"Stop attacking my family." he growled back once again pouncing on the man. An odd smell hit him as he tried to stab him with a knife.

Roxas was angry, this man had nearly killed his friend who was now one of them. Then the asshole went after his brother not that he probably knew it but still he had to be stopped.



Axel was in over his head with two opponents and he was well aware of the fact. The Dhampir woman wasn't bad but the human hunter was getting on his nerves. As he swung to intercept them a long blade came out of nowhere and sliced into the man's arm.

"This ends now." Sephiroth stepped out of the shadows and Raijin stared at him as Fujin swung to hit him and the man simply picked her up and flung her against the wall.

"Filthy half-breed there is no way your power could ever mach mine. Axel, handle the human."

"Yes sir." the red-head went after the human with a new spark smirking as he pulled out a lighter.



Seifer was hit from the side with a small knife in time to see a third vampire join in the fight, a young woman with short brown hair behind her was a blonde who resembled the one he was fighting. The blonde made no move to join in the fight but his opponent attacked with renewed force.

Hyne watched from the mouth of an alley seeing the fight he shuddered, partially in revulsion and partially in hunger. He knew the blond that Roxas was fighting he had shot him, after Hyne had gotten in the way of course but he had been about to shoot Roxas who was his friend. Obviously this guy was used to fighting.. Hyne had to smirk when these others joined the fight from the sound Demyx made next to him he knew them.

"Who are those guys?" Hyne asked Demyx

"Family, the blonde is Cloud, he's an elder and Roxas and Sora's father. the silver haired guy is Sephiroth he's an elder too. The brunette girl I don't know but she's a fledgeling like you."

"How can you tell?"

"Look at her she's only a few days old." Sora smirked, he was holding his side in pain Demyx had bandaged it but it still hurt not to mention the blood he's consumed earlier was not enough for him to heal it. "Sta y here."

"Where are you going?"

"To get help with this shot wound, I know this area there's a person I have been preparing nearby."

"But."

"Don't Demyx, I'll be fine stay here and watch." the brunette slipped away into the shadows heading for a familiar Apartment building.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Riku was doing his homework when there was a knock on his window he looked up to see Sora leaning heavily on the window.

"Sora?" he jumped up and opened the window, the brunette nearly fell in still clutching his side. "What are you doing here?"

"I got shot." the boy pouted slightly. "These guys came out of nowhere and attacked me and my friends, they were going to hurt us so we all ran and they shot at him, I don't know what happened to my friends."

"It'll be okay Sora let me look at the wound I should be able to clean it up."

"Thank you Riku."



Riku cleaned and re-bandaged the wound it looked okay and seemed to be mostly healed.

"There all done do you want to go looking for your friends?"

"I'm tired actually." he looked at Riku's eyes and pushed slightly smiling when the green orbs clouded over he turned Riku's head to the side and bit gently at his neck. He drunk few sips making sure to take only what he had lost from being wounded, he didn't want to turn Riku yet. He pulled away and licked the wound closed. He smiled at him and pulled him up to sit at his desk again.

"Don't worry Riku, you won't remember this." He cleaned up the medical supplies and left intent on getting home. He was blocked at the bottom of the fire escape by his own father.

"Hello."

"Sora what are you doing?"

"Getting some."

"You were attacked by hunters and all you can do is visit your victim?"

"I like him."

"Fine come on, your mother wants a word with you and your brother."

"Yes sir."



TBC......
