Kaede stared down at the young woman below, a young creature just on her way home from work. She could feel the woman's pulse already, hear her heartbeat... smell her blood...
Crawling stealthily across the wall, her worn out bones cracking slightly as she positioned herself directly above the woman. Her ragged breathing tore through the heavy silence, causing the woman to stop.
"Hello? Is someone there?"
So young, so fresh...
With a piercing roar, Kaede flung herself down onto the woman, roughly biting into her neck as she started to drain her blood, the woman's screams like music in her ears.
She'd barely had time to finish when she heard the shriek of sirens.
Police...
Moving quicker than an insect, she scuttled back up the wall and onto the roof-top, making her way back to the geisha house at the very edge of the city.
As she crawled across the roof and down into one of the empty rooms, she became tense. The trouble with living in a place like this, you always felt like you were being watched. And when you rely on animal instinct, that's not a good thing.

Drip...
Drip...
The blood of a young male dripped to the wodden floor of the office and each drop shattered as it hit the surface without making a sound. He had an empty look in his eyes and his doll-like body was lifeless as his eyes were. All this witnessed that he was in fact dead. Haruko buried her fangs deeper into his neck to suck out the last few drops of blood he had left before she let go off him causing his body to fall to the ground. It made a large bumping sound and bounced a single time like the rag-doll he had been turned into. Haruko looked at the human with disgust in her eyes before turning her back on his dead body. "Get it out of here. "Put him on a cross for public display at Harajuku station when the sun rises again. The humans need to wake up to terror. It makes their bood even tastier than the sweetest revenge. Besides there has been nothing amusing in the news lately" she said in a cold voice as she sat down by her desk.
Pesky humans thinking they could just keep the city her own clan had been chased out og thousands of years ago. "Foolish creatures" she mumbled as she wiped her lips with a tissue. She hid her fangs and watched as some servants removed the drained human and cleaned up the blood that had dripped onto the floor. Humans... Always bragging about what a great and intelligent race they are, yet they ha dno idea why they were finding murder victims drained for blood. Haruko had laughed one day a criminalist of the older generation had claimed it was to keep them for checking the DNA however even Haruko knew that there were more than one way to get a DNA sample even from a deceased human. Some had even claimed it was the work of wild animals and scientists were trying to make that match up with the victims. "Forever blind to what is in front of them... Foolish" she mumbled and took out her fan. "They were smarter back in the days, but now time has changed and s will the flow of power"

People died from blood loss...
Animal attacks...
Everything seemed to make sense now. These were all done by vampires. However, Seiji never mentioned it to anyone. They'll just think he was crazy or something. The school was empty, and the lights were all off. Quietly, Seiji walked out of his school, and headed home. He didnt say anything, he barely did anyways. His bag hung over his shoulders, and looked as if it was going to drag him down to the ground any second.
Living a life as a human, or as a vampire? That was what he was thinking about. Oh, and of course finding his mother. Seiji snapped back to reality when he heard the sirens. He looked up, to see a couple of police cars parked by an alley. Curious, Seiji walked over. Jubei seemed like he didnt want him going near them but didnt stop him either. Seiji peeked over, seeing a girl with a bite mark on the neck. It looked... well horrible. If he became a vampire, would he have to take the life of an innocent person? Shaking his head he stepped away from the scene.

The smell of blood hit her once more and she felt her animalistic instincts kicking in once more. She heard the sound of footsteps approaching and shrank into the shadows, staring out of the open doorway as the body was carried past. She longed to go after them and tear the body to shreds but some small residual sense of duty told her she had other things to do.
Skulking out into the corridor she made her way along, her dark eyes staring suspiciously at every other vampire she passed. She saw how they looked at her, with disdain, contempt... disgust. They didn't want to believe she was one of their kind.
She made her way to Haruko's office and... just as she reached the door she froze, turning to stare back down the corridor.
Far away, too far for human ears but fine for hers, she heard voices... human and yet... not human...
Helot!
It couldn't be.
Ignoring the noise, Kaede slunk into the office, her bones cracking loudly as she bowed in respect to Haruko.
Even when relying on pure instinct, Kaede could easily recognise her superiors and Haruko was someone not to be messed with. She was the more powerful vampire, the leader, and Kaede could not resist the natural submission and obedience she felt towards her.
