Chapter 1

"I Don't Believe In Vampires"

Cloud was making his way back to the house, cursing the rain. A light drizzle started shortly after he left the club. To cover himself, he had on a black trench coat. He didn't care about covering his head. Beads of rain water fell form his pierced ears to his trench coat.

Anyone could tell he was gothic. The upside-down cross earrings, black eyeliner, and dog collar at his throat gave it away even though he was sometimes mistaken for a Satanist.

A gig bag with a guitar inside was on his back, supported by a strap that was slung across his chest. Stupid rain, he thought. As he walked, he didn't notice the couple walking in front of him. When they got closer, Cloud didn't step aside since he was lost in thought.

He walked between then and kept walking, despite the fact that the couple stopped. "Hey," said the girl. Cloud stopped walking and turned around, an annoyed glare radiating from his eyes. "What," he said. The glare he gave the girl made her speechless and at a loss of words.

"Dude, what's your problem," said the guy. "I'm looking at it," Cloud said, coldly. He walked away. Damn bastards, he thought in his annoyed state. My car just had to fuck up its brakes. He turned at a corner and entered a 7-Eleven. When he entered, he said hello to a clerk he recognized and headed towards the coffee machines.

He was making himself a coffee when he noticed a little girl staring at him. He sneered at her but she didn't get scared like he thought she would. She looked up at him with an innocent curiosity. "Are you a vampire, mister," she said. "I don't believe in vampires, kid," he said.

Looking at the girl reminded him of his little sister, Namine. "Tsubasa," said a female voice. "There you are!." Cloud saw a woman walking up to the little girl and the woman grabbed her hand. "I'm sorry," said the woman, bowing. He nodded as the woman and the child began to walk away.

The girl turned around and waved. "Bye, mister," she said. Cloud half-smiled as she turned. Me? A vampire?, he thought as he began to chuckle. That's rich. He grabbed an issue of Guitar World and went over to the cash register. As he paid, he requested a box a cigarettes and a lighter.

"Hey, vampire," said a familiar voice. "How's it going, Riku," Cloud said. He turned to see a silver haired boy all clad in black. He wore baggy jeans and a sleeveless shirt. His long hair was tied back, revealing his sea green eyes and the symphony of gold and diamonds in his ears.

"When did you come back from America?." "When did you start getting asked that you were a vampire," Riku countered. "Jesus, do you ever shut up," he said, asking the clerk for another box of cigarettes.

"Anyways, I came back just about a week ago," Riku said, accepting the cigarettes Cloud offered him. "But who would imagine that I would get to see my old friend Cloud Strife, world's greatest guitarist." "Skip the sarcasm and tell me where you live so I can see the damage you made the past few days that you've been back," Cloud said as they exited the store and walked down the street.

"Just three blocks away from here," Riku said. "You still live in the house your parents left you right?." "Like I have a choice, given my current state," Cloud sighed. "They took the condo and I'm stuck in a stupid house that's seen better days."

"Until yesterday, I didn't realize the apartment building I live in is a block away from your house," Riku said, pointing at him. "Nice," Cloud said. "Too bad I can't sell the shithole I live in until I fix it." Riku laughed a bit before lighting a cigarette.

"I think your wisecracks and complaints were just about the only things I missed about Tokyo," Riku said. "Anyways, America was all right. The places I went to were nice for a change." "Anything else new," Cloud said, continuing to drink his coffee.

"Not really," Riku said. "Plus, your sister is as studious as ever. She occasionally goes to the club with her roommate, though. She and Kairi are in separate college but are still in touch."

"Lemme guess, she's still serious about taking on my late father's legacy," he said, sarcastically. "Jesus, he's so damn manipulative. Even the fact that he's a rich business man annoys me. Then, disowning me because I chose writing over his stupid business...sickening and pointless. I miss my mother, though. I occasionally go over to her shop for a reading. He was always so damn strict."

"You're telling me," Riku said. "Don't forget that I lived with you for a year when my old man kicked me out." "Like I would," Cloud said. "That was the best year of my life so far." Then, they heard a crashing sound come from the alley way.

"Wanna check it out," Riku said. "'Let's," Cloud said. "Might be another damsel in distress. I rescued one just yesterday." They ran into the alleyway to investigate. As soon as they stopped, Cloud was surprised at the scene he saw.

Two men were fighting, one of them bleeding excessively. He was struggling to keep himself up as the other man kicked him in the face. Then, the moonlight of a full moon slowly streamed into the alleyway, allowing Cloud to see their faces.

The man who was bleeding had long, brown hair that almost covered his dark eyes. He wore all black except for a white shirt stained with blood, with a black jacket. Clod noticed a scar that was on his face. He felt himself slowly remove his gig bag. Wow…, he thought.

The other man had long, silver hair with a hood that covered his eyes. From the way he limped, it seemed that he hurt one of his ankles in the heat of the battle. "We have to help him," Riku whispered. "The one who's bleeding." "You know him," Cloud whispered.

"Yeah, he's a…friend," Riku said. The way Riku said 'friend' gave Cloud an uneasy feeling. "All right," Cloud said. "I'll handle the other guy. Just get your friend out of here."

They both dashed over just as the silver-haired guy was about to strike his finishing blow. Cloud blocked it and punched, causing the other guy to lose his breath.

"This isn't your battle," the other man said, breathlessly. "But if you want to get involved…prepare yourself." Preparing to fight, Cloud took off his coat since the rain had stopped.

He had on a long sleeved shirt that had a sleeve cut off. Replacing the right sleeve was a fingerless glove and bracer. It looked like he had a coat on since on the left side of his jeans, a long piece of rough-looking material covered it.. With a wave of his arm, a long sword with a gigantic blade appeared at his hand.

"Summon a weapon, did you," he said. "I can play that game." He made his own hand motion and an average-sized sword of equal blade thickness appeared. (A/N: I can't think of any other weapon at the moment, ok?.)

This marked the start on another battle. Riku approached the bleeding man and aided him to his feet. "Leon, what happened," Riku said, handing him a small bottle. Leon unscrewed the bottle and drank all of its contents.

With a flash of green light, the wound of his left side was beginning to heal itself and he was able to stand after a moment. The wound was still not quite healed and he was bleeding a small amount of blood.

"I was ambushed by Xehanort," Leon said, simply. "I was looking for you to tell you the information I had about you-know-what." Cloud blocked a thrust that his opponent made and leapt into the air. The sword spun around for a while before he made his thrust. The attempt Xehanort made to block the thrust made him lose his balance.

"Who's the guy right there," Leon said. "A human friend of yours?." "Yeah, Cloud's cool," Riku told him. "Cloud! Let Leon handle it now!." Leon listened to a sound that nobody but him could hear…the sound of a heart beat. He smelled what he thought was a cheap perfume.

"We have a witness…handle her later," Leon whispered. Cloud jumped behind Xehanort and struck him with the flat side of the sword on the back of his neck. The strike caused him to fall to the ground, unconscious. "Too late," Leon said. "He's pretty good…especially with pressure points."

Cloud walked over with an expressionless look on his face but a fiery look in his eye. "Want me to finish him off," he asked Riku. "You wanna," Riku asked.

"Frankly, I'm not in the mood to kill anyone at the moment," Cloud said, wiping sweat off his forehead. "But he did make me ruin a seven-hundred-dollar coat I bought just yesterday. That asshole…"

Leon smiled in amusement. "I'll do it," he said. "I hate these damn hunters with their unfair 'advantages'."

Leon briskly walked over to the man. Effortlessly, he lifted him up by the collar of his sweater. The hood slowly slipped off his head, revealing a long, slender neck. Leon felt a tickling sensation in his mouth and bit his neck.

The man woke up and began to scream. Blood began to drip out of the man's neck. Cloud watched in shock as the man lost color in his face and grew pale. Leon continued to lick up all the blood he could, satisfied with the fact that he was able to finally feast on something.

Xehanort grew silent and was dead. "I've always wanted to taste Xehanort's blood," Leon said, wiping the drops of blood that escaped from his mouth. "Too bad it wasn't worth the wait." He examined his side and noticed that the wound was gone.

Cloud felt himself kneel to the floor, his sword slipping out of his hand. "This…can't be…real," he said, his voice shaking.

"Cloud, I'm sorry," Riku said, apologetically. "It's very real." "It couldn't be," Cloud said, coldly. "I don't believe it was real. I thought vampires never existed."

Leon looked as if he was just slapped when he said that. Then, Cloud slowly got up to his feet and made his sword disappear. He steeped over to Riku. "Tell me, if he is a vampire…," he said, staring him in the eye. "Are you one, too?."

"I'm not a vampire," Riku said, slowly. "I only thing I have is extremely high levels of ESP." "ESP," he said. "Extrasensory perception," he explained. "Usually someone has some sort of unexplained power if they have high levels of ESP. I'm one of the few cursed with it…I can do this."

Cloud noticed Riku's pupils dilate before he saw a teenage girl come out of her hiding place. The girl looked as if she was being controlled. Riku approached her and continue to stare at her eyes. After a few seconds, the girl blinked.

"W-What? Where am I," she said, confused. "You're in a dangerous part of town," Riku said. "I think you should hurry back to your home." "O-oh my gosh! T-T-Thank you for reminding me," she said, bowing and running out of the alley.

Cloud didn't notice when his back was against the wall. "I-I…this is…," he said. Then, he put his gig bag, which was at his feet, back on and quickly retrieved his jacket. He ran out of the alleyway despite Riku's shouts.

"Lemme guess…you didn't want him to find out about any of this," Leon said to Riku. "No, he wouldn't have believed me anyway," Riku said. "I'm not exactly sure but…I think he probably has some levels of ESP."

"It's best to consult Aerith for that type of thing," he said. "Want me to get in touch with her?." "Not right now," he said. "Cloud guy is like a brother to me…I would hate myself if I let the agency get their greedy hands on him right now."

"I'll go to his house," he said. "Don't you dare try to drink his blood," he warned. "At least I didn't clarify the extent of my powers." "I won't, all right," he said. "Just go to your house. I'll meet you there in about…thirty minutes."

Leon leapt up into the air, allowing himself to float several feet in front of Riku. "All right," Riku said. "But you better keep this warning in mind. You gave me your word. See ya." Riku walked out of the alley way.

Leon watched as Riku lit another cigarette and turned the corner. And now to track him down…, Leon said.

did you guys like it?. please, review!. If any of you don't understand the concept of ESP, let me explain!. ESP, or extrasensory perception, is a heightened or extended level of your five senses. Your five senses are: smell, taste, touch, hearing, and seeing. Usually, ESP phenomenon are common thing you hear about such as precognition (or seeing the future through a certain way) and seeing what others don't usually see (ghosts and aura mostly). So to sum it up, what Riku has is a result of the extent of his five senses.

Ari: Hey Riku! Wanna tell them what your power is?.

Riku: Why?.

Ari: Please?.

Riku: (sighing) I have the power to control minds or erase memories. Happy?.

Ari: Good boy! Wanna go party?. I'll pay.

Cloud: Party?...are you on drugs?.

Ari: No, I just thought maybe we can have some fun!. Come on, I'll pay for anything.

Riku and Cloud: (smiling evilly) anything?

Ari: (laughs nervously) oops.
