WELL! What can I say? When I get obsessed with certain shows, I write and draw them! ^_^ And currently, I'm obsessed with the Black Blood Brothers series! I mean C'MON! It only had, what?, TWELVE episodes?! WTF?! So now, I am inclined to write my OWN continuation of it. (With some OCs of course...) This fic will mainly revolve around some of my favorite less credited characters of the series. Those people would be Cain Warlock, Sei, Zelman and whomever else I feel the need to write about as I go along. Yes, I am kinda making this up as I go... . ANYWAY! If you have any questions, feel free to ask them! ^_^ The best way to do that might be to review seeing as I nearly NEVER check my e-mail. Enjoy!
Four years after Cassa and the Kowloon attack on the special zone, another threat comes to power with the rise of a new breed of vampire. What does this mean for the other Black Bloods? An "Old Blood" and her two guards may know the answer.
**Trouble**
The petrified man stumbled over various debris as he raced down the empty, dark street. His eyes wide with terror, the only thing running through his mind was "RUN! ESCAPE!". Looking over, he saw an alley. He made a sharp left into the narrow backway, stumbling in clumsy fright over garbage-cans and their contents.
'I have to get out of here! She'll find me!!' He thought as he desperately looked around.
There was a fence in front of him, blocking his way out. He could jump it but...
'Damn! Why'd it have to be silver?!' He thought as he quickly scanned. Frantically. 'There's no way out!!'
He heard a soft shuffling noise behind him and took of toward the fence.
"I'll be damned if I let her catch me now! Silver or no silver, I'm going!" He muttered.
He got to steps and as he went to jump up the five story fence, he caught his foot, carelessly on an old blanket and tripped. Swearing, he made to brace himself and push himself back into a standing position. The sudden chill of a shadow falling over him made him freeze.
"Sloppy, sloppy, just how far did you think you'd get makin' all that damn noise?" Taunted the female voice behind him.
He turned to look up, the dark-haired young man cowered back and away from the bored, mocking female before him. Behind her dark silhouette the full moon shined brightly. Almost as brightly as the green-grey eyes glaring down at him.
"Please! Spare me!" He cried.
The woman's pale pink lips turned down in distaste. She was scowling at him. Her fangs gleamed like silver in the filter of moonlight.
"Shut your mouth! Filthy cockroaches like you are the reasons why we have such INFESTATIONS in the world in the first place! So, please, spare me your cries for mercy." She growled.
The dark-haired man gulped but pushed back enough fear to smirk nastily at her, fangs bared.
"Is that so? Well, even if you kill me, it won't do ANY good! There are more of us than you can even IMAGINE! Once we infiltrate, it'll be all over for you, the other old bloods and your Lady Bai Hu-ACK!"
Her hand was around his neck before he could finish his sentence. Lifting him easily, she tossed him just as swiftly into the side of the large dumpster to her left, successfully denting it beyond use and trapped him between the metal that had capsized around him. Before he could even cry out in pain, her boot was slammed firmly into his chest, echoing off the walls of the alley with a loud, resounding, metallic boom.
He spewed up blood and spittle, leaning forward limply, trying to breathe. Her foot was what kept him in place. Deathly calm, contrast, to her savage actions she spoke to him.
"…I'll see to it that you NEVER speak the Lady's name from your filthy mouth again."
She applied more pressure to his ribcage and the loud crunch it made was followed by his shriek of pain.
"You're not worthy of looking upon someone like her… "She said softly.
He laughed and coughed up blood gorily. Breathing raggedly in pain he glared up at her with a smirk.
"It doesn't matter…whether I see her or not…no one will survive…They're..already infiltrating as we speak…it's..too late.." He wheezed.
The woman paused.
"So…this was all a diversion." She stated to herself softly before her lips curled back in a snarl. "AAHH!! DAMN YOU FILTHY SWINE!!"
Abruptly bringing her foot back, she brought forward with a furious growl and a resounding, loud, gory, wet crack as the powerful kick broke through his ribcage and smashed his heart and lungs. His body tore through the garbage can at the force and he pinned inside.
The woman bit angrily at her lip, piercing it with the sharp tip of her fangs. The dark red liquid dripped to her dark shirt and dribbled to her pants as the man in the dumpster's body dissipated into a fine grey ash and spilled across her boot. She shook it off and sucked at her lip, seemingly more calm but her beautiful face was set hard in a dark scowl and her eyes caught the moon's light and flashed ferociously.
A soft shuffling of cloth was heard behind her and she twitched.
"So, they have evaded us and are infiltrating…" Came the soft, lilting voice behind her.
She turned and bowed low on one knee before the small newcomer, ignoring the other young girl next to her. The girl was young, maybe no older than thirteen, with dark black hair that went to her waist and straight, clean-cut bangs and end ends. She was tanned, rather dark skinned, a light sun-kissed brown complexion and haunting calm, odd, golden eyes. She wore a simple Chinese style red dress with fades of orange and red flowers on them. The symbol for "Tiger" and "Longevity" were stitched on the front.
"I'm sorry Lady Bai Hu, I let them escape me-"
"Do not apologize Ariya, You did all you could which simply means that this was fate." The small girl interrupted.
Ariya stood silently as the other newcomer, who was silent until now, sighed. Stepping forward into the moonlight, they stared off into the distance, beyond the town before them.
"I just knew this was gonna' get ugly…Didn't I say we should've just killed that bastard when we saw him at the store earlier, Ari?" She said.
Ariya glared down at the girl. She was young, maybe fifteen or so, with light brown hair in two buns covered with red bun-caps on either side of her head and a pale, creamy complexion with a cute, heart shaped face and mischievous brown eyes. She wore a predominately Chinese ensemble, a kimono-like red and yellow top that left her back exposed, one yellow and one brown leather sash, various wrist and arm bands and a pair of royal blue pants with yellow designs and brown leather boots.
"Shut up Yue! The first thing you would've done was get us noticed by some humans with your wild, stupid antics!" Ariya snapped.
Yue pouted. "I still say it was a good idea.."
"It doesn't matter anymore." Bai Hu countered softly. "If they have infiltrated then that could mean trouble for those that we consider our…"Allies"…therefore must do everything in our power to help and warn them of the coming events that may or may not occur."
Yue's eyes glittered with excitement. "Does that mean…?"
"Yes Yue, We are going to the Special Zone." Bai Hu confirmed.
A large cheshire grin broke out on the girl's face, fangs and all.
"ALRIGHT! Let's go and kick some ASS!" She cheered.
Ariya ignored her in favor of talking to Bai Hu. "My Lady, I can't help but feel that we're bringing trouble to them. They just got over the Kowloon attack by the "Black Snake" not too long ago…They had trouble covering that up and something like this…" She trailed off with a frown.
Bai Hu closed her eyes and was silent for a moment. An ominous breeze swept the three females' hair.
"Trouble always seems to have a way to bring people together…or tear them apart." Was her simple answer.
Yue smiled in childish excitement of the battle to come. "There's no rest for the wicked, I always say!"
"Ariya allowed herself to smirk. " Now THAT, I can agree upon…"

That same night in the "Old Yard" of the Special Zone:
The two old bloods standing on the porch looking over the garden of the traditional Japanese style mansion looked silently up at the full moon. One of them, a young looking boy, had that peculiar, unsettling look about his face that told the older looking old blood beside him that something was wrong. But then again, he could sense something was wrong too.
'The Lord Dragon has been acting this way since nightfall…' He thought.
He turned his gaze to the legendary old blood beside him. Over the last few years, Sei's new form had grown quite a bit. He now almost came up to his mid-upper arm in height and he had matured into an older looking, fourteen year old boy. But one shouldn't be fooled by his appearance, The Lord Dragon was much older than he seemed. Sei had seen more of life than he had himself. Turning back to the moon he let out a gasp.
"The moon is turning red!" He said in disbelief.
Sei nodded seriously. "I know you can sense it too, Cain…Blood has been spilt this night and it seems there will be more to come."
Cain grit his teeth in annoyance. 'Great! Just when things were finally settling down!' He thought sarcastically. 'I knew the moment the hair on the back of my neck started to raise that SOMETHING was going to happen!'
"This isn't good." He said simply.
"No…it is not." Sei said with a thoughtful tilt of his head. "But if I am sensing what I think I am then we might not be in as much trouble as I feared." He said and with that, he turned to go back into the house, leaving Cain confused for a moment.
Sei paused and smiled back at him softly. "Come Cain, don't worry yourself. We will deal with the trouble once it comes, its best not to go looking for it, whether let IT come to US." He said.
Cain blinked twice before letting out a stressful sigh and an irritated growl as he seemed to do more often now since the wolf in him had been awaken after such a long hiatus. But then again, with his bloodline, he was born half werewolf but was more devoted to his black blood side.
"As you say Lord Dragon." He sighed as he walked after him.
He couldn't help a second glance at the full moon and shuddered. 'I hope this doesn't involve the Black Snake again…If it does, with Gintou here…it could become another Hong Kong Crusade. I doubt it'll end up like it did the last time she broke into the special zone. Gintou better do his damn job! '
