A/N: Hey guys!!

Taruto: Hey you! What's the deal with letting this story out?

Tsukiko: I'd finally finished this chapter so don't get cranky at me.

Pai: You haven't completed your other stories that are in need of your attention.

Tsukiko: I know, I know. But I've been in the vampire mood lately and I really, really want to unleash another blood-sucking, gothic romance story. 'True Love is Right In Front of You, Ichigo' does not count because it only has a small bit of vampirism. This one is full of it.

Kisshu: That's only because I'm the one acting all-

-I quickly cover his mouth-

Tsukiko: Shush! I don't want to spoil the story. –Because I'm right in front of him and I'm staring directly at his face, I end up fainting again- Oh my heart. –faints-

Kisshu: Ahh!! The writer again!!

Taruto: I don't even care anymore. And what is she talking about? 'The Kyuuketsuki' is a vampire story.

Kisshu with a fan: Yeah but she writes that story when she's in 'The Mummy' mood.

Taruto: Now you're defending her just because most of her stories revolve around you?! -Kisshu chuckles from that- You selfish jerk!!

Pai: The writer here does NOT own TMM or the songs or the movies she uses in her stories. She only comes up with the ideas and the changes. In this story, she is going to use a lot of songs from the album 'Collide' from a human band known as Skillet. She claims to love the lyrics of the music. In case you get confused, this chapter happens before the Tokyo Mew Mew battle. The writer appreciates your reviews for her stories and she wishes for them to continue coming. Enjoy.

Taruto: You forgot to say 'thanks'.

Pai: I don't say 'thank you' to humans.

Taruto: You say that to Lettuce and is she not a human?!!

Ch. 1: Bloodlust

"Damn humans!!" the young alien screams. He falls to his knees after slamming the wall as angry tears leaked out of his eyes. He swears, "They're all dead! All of them!! Look what they've done to this planet!!"

The oldest alien tells him, "I can see it clearly, Taruto and I understand your anger but control your it. Deep Blue-sama will help us gain back what is rightfully ours."

Taruto only stayed where he was as he continues to growl in pure hatred for the humans who have tainted the once beautiful planet. The second oldest alien in their little three-alien group, was silent for a moment. He stared at the one image of the corrupted earth a bit longer, controlling his emotions for a bit. He soon smiles in excitement.

"Interesting, huh?" he asks them. Both of his companions look at him as he says, "For a moment I thought the mission was going to be boring but look at what these humans can do. Maybe we can have some fun while we take earth back."

Pai warns, "Kisshu, don't even joke about it. We need to get earth back at all costs. Time is slipping and every second could mean a lost life on our planet." The mention of their kin made Kisshu's features flinch for a bit but he still has his smirk on his face.

Ignoring what Pai just said, he notes, "Earth has things called animals and maybe we could use that to our advantage. What if we turned Mother Nature against the humans like how Mother Nature has turned against us?"

Pai completely faces him and says, "For once, you have thought of something that can be useful."

"I'm not as stupid as you two believe," Kisshu says with a tiny hint of acid in his voice.

Taruto stood up and wiped away the tears that still lingered on his cheek. He asks them, "Should we look study these animals and see which ones can be used to destroy human kind?"

"That's our first step of our mission but we can't start anything big until Deep Blue-sama has awaken," Pai reminds. Now Kisshu looks bored.

"But that's not fair and no fun."

"Kisshu, we are not here for fun and games. We are here on a mission. Get serious for our clan's sake."

Kisshu's eyes narrowed and they became deadly. He tells Pai, "I am always serious, Pai. Only when I need some spice in my life do I pretend like these things are fun." He said the last part with a devil's smile.

n-n-n

"Ah crap!" Kisshu swears looking at the mess at his feet. On the ground are files of the animals of earth with a picture of the animal, the history, and their DNA. He was taking them to Pai to research when they began to fall to the ground. Now he's on his knees picking them up.

'This is way too boring,' he thinks as he's picking them up. 'Why can't we ever do anything exciting? How long have we been researching about these beasts? One…two months? And Pai tells me not to waste time on saving our clan.' Then he picks up one file that has a very interesting name. He's now staring at one file that reads 'Vampire Bats'. 'Vampire?' Kisshu stands up and stares at the file as he wonders, 'What's this?' Somehow the name calls to him, urging him to look.

So he does. Kisshu opens the file and begins to skim through it. The file reads:

Vampire bats are bats that feed on blood to survive, a dietary trait known as hematophagy. They feed solely at night and because of the thermoreceptors on its nose, the vampire bat is able to locate areas of where the blood flows close to the skin of the chosen victim, usually cows or horses. Their front teeth are sharp enough to cut the skin as their back teeth are smaller than the front teeth. Their digestive system is capable to their liquid diet and their saliva contains a draculin substance to prevent the blood from clotting. A part of their brain, known as inferior colliculus is able to detect the breathing sounds of sleeping animals.

'Blah, blah, blah,' Kisshu thinks. 'What's so special about this blood-sucking mammal?' When he turns the page, he then sees something special.

The feeding and the creature itself has inspired books and horror movies of the mythical creature vampire – a blood sucking creature of hell with the form of a beautiful mortal that feeds on the blood of the living to survive. Books, such as 'Dracula', tell terrifying tales of these creatures killing humanity and striking fear into the hearts of mortals. These demons usually have long sharp fangs, like the vampire bat, to cut the skin of humans and blood red eyes when feeding.

'Blood red eyes…' Kisshu uses one hand to gently touch the side of his eye and then his fangs when he thinks, 'And long sharp canines.'

Even though he does not possess red eyes, there are times when he's really into a fight and his eyes would turn red. But that is common for anyone in his kind. He also saw the dental records of humans and noticed that compared to them, besides the big ears, their canines are longer and sharper than humans. As the file continues about the creature 'vampire', it explains on how there are people terrified of these beautiful, sinful beings. So if humans are terrified of them and vampires usually kill their victims and he needs to kill humans, nothing sounds more interesting than this. But he tasted blood before. It tastes like iron and not at all luscious for his liking.

'I need to make some adjustments.'

Kisshu takes the DNA sample of the vampire bat and closes the files. He puts the DNA away and picks up the other files that were still resting on the floor. After he got them all, he carries them to Pai, who's probably going to lecture him for taking so long to get the files of animals T-Z.

n-n-n

"No…please, no!"

But Kisshu ignores the pleading cry of the human. He lifts up the frightened woman and he exposes her neck. She stares shaking as he opens his mouth to reveal his long, hungry fangs. She screams, "No!!" Then he chomps on her neck and she became silent. Her eyes widen from the pain of his fangs tearing her skin and him sucking on her living blood. Moments after he began sucking her blood, her eyes began to dull with death and they close for the last time. His arms held her limping body closer and his fingers dig deeper into her flesh. When he opened his eyes, his teeth still inside her, they were red. Completely blood red from the thrill of the chase and the feeling of her heart pulsing and stopping. He loved the feeling of her heart pulsing fast with fear and then slowly stops and he loved the fact that he was the one who stopped it.

After he took the DNA sample from the vampire bat file, he began to think like Pai, which was very rare. He came up with a formula with the vampire bat's DNA to infuse with his own. He did that without Pai or Taruto's knowing and he became the first alien to try it. He gave himself a shot of his new formula and gave it a try, a few nights ago. The his fangs tore the skin of the humans and his eyes become red when he fed, like the vampire in movies and books and the DNA helped him want the taste. He yearn for the taste of blood and the DNA even helped with his digestive system to be compatible with his new liquid diet.

"K…Kisshu?"

Kisshu tore himself away from his dead victim and looked up to see both Pai and Taruto, shocked beyond disbelief as the body fell to the ground. His comrades first stared at the dead human on the ground and then look back at him. Kisshu still has his red eyes and now he has blood leaking from the corner of his mouth and down to his chin. Instead of feeling angry or surprised that he's been caught, Kisshu smiles.

"Hi, guys!" he greets as he stands up. "You guys just missed all the action. This human can run fast in heels but I caught her and she ended up twisting her ankle after crashing into a trash can. She ran a good five blocks."

Then Pai snaps back from his shock phase and glares at Kisshu. "Kisshu, what have you done to yourself? We don't feed on human blood."

Kisshu doesn't get affected by Pai's icy words. "I infused my DNA with a vampire bats," he answered.

"Vampire bats?!" Taruto exclaims.

"Yep! Vampire bats feed on blood and from the myths and legends of humans, vampires feed on their blood to survive. The file even explained that humans fear these creatures."

"Kisshu!" Pai called, sternly. "I told you not to do anything until Deep Blue awakens."

"But waiting for him is so boring. We've wasted two months researching on the animals of this planet when our mission is to destroy them and claim earth for our clan. How is just researching going to help us?!" Pai's eyes widen from that as Taruto gasps in surprise. He's right. "Sure, researching started what I've become but the actions I made killed about fifteen humans in five days. If you both cooperate with me, then I'll give you these." He went to his pocket and showed them two shots of the liquid he made with the vampire bat's DNA. They stare at it as he adds, "If I kill three humans a night, how many humans can we kill in a week or two months?! At least doing this is of better use of our time."

Pai and Taruto took a moment longer to stare at the two shoots in Kisshu's hand. If they take that, then they will become a blood-thirsty being Kisshu is now. Pai looks back at Kisshu and he was going to object but Taruto cuts in.

"I'll take it!" he declares. Kisshu smirks at his decision as Pai looks at Taruto in surprise.

"Taruto!"

Taruto turns to Pai and yells, "Kisshu has a point, Pai! All we've been doing is research, research, research while our kind is dying. At least doing this is more useful than sitting on our lazy butts while someone on our planet dies! I'll get my hands dirty for them!" Before Pai could stop him, Taruto goes to Kisshu and snatches one shot. He then plunges it into his wrist, into a vein and injects the liquid as quickly as he can. He winced from the uncomfortable feeling of the liquid entering him and Kisshu blinks in surprise of him moving so fast and he so quickly took the formula.

When the liquid was gone, Taruto pulls the shot from his wrist and on the ground. Blood squirted from his wrist and all of a sudden, Taruto's head feels really hot and hazy. He can smell the blood on his wrist and he wanted it. He bends down to his wrist and licks the blood right off. He felt so much better from the taste and he felt so much relief. He lets out a contented sigh as the taste still lingers in his mouth. Kisshu is staring at him in surprise as Pai is staring in shock.

When Taruto looks back at Pai, his eyes are red and his fangs are even longer. "What about you?" he asks. "How strong is your dedication to saving your clan?" Pai closes his mouth and he only stares at Taruto, taking his words in as truth.

From his silence, Kisshu got serious. He told him, "Pai! These humans deserve to die. Look what they did to this planet! This one beautiful planet is turning into a waste land because of humans like her." He points to the dead human by his feet. "I'm not ashamed at all of taking her life."

After that, Pai closes his eyes and lets out a sigh. Both Taruto and Kisshu wait patiently as he opens his eyes and says, "Pass me the shot." Kisshu grins and tosses him the shot.

"Good choice."

Pai catches the shot and he didn't hesitate to inject the liquid inside of him. Instead of being so reckless as Taruto was, Pai injected the formula carefully in his veins and he took the shot out without a single drop of blood leaking out. But the smell of blood on Kisshu's face caused Pai's eyes to turn red. He wanted the blood but he told Kisshu, "Wipe your mouth."

Kisshu used the back of his hand to wipe the blood away and he licks the blood of his hand. He's his carefree self again as he says, "Since it's your first night out, how about I lead you both to a party this human left from? Since you both just started, I figure you two are extra hungry."

"Last night, the blood-sucking murder has struck again but this time he took his killing to the extreme as a party of college students were brutally massacred at a sake club. No one was left alive as the bartender and the manager have also been killed by this murder. The police have also found the same two new saliva samples that have been discovered five days after the murders began. Who is the one who started this blood-sucking murders? Is he influencing more to join this monstrous act? What do they want and why are they killing innocent people at random? Is this the work of an actual vampire or a vampire want-a-be's?"

After that, the screen went blank and both Kisshu, Pai, and Taruto look away in shame. All three of them are bowing in front of an empty throne chair, surrounded by tall pillars and flouting bubbles of all sizes. Then they hear a voice.

"Which one of you wishes to explain this?"

This is the voice of their lord, Deep Blue.

Taruto looks up and says, "Master Deep Blue, please forgive us. But we took action out of consideration for our clan."

Pai adds, "We promised to wait for your awakening but we're restless. Every second that goes by could be a life on our planet ending."

"If you wish to punish someone, then please punish me." Taruto and Pai look at Kisshu and he appears unafraid. "I was the one who started this and convinced Pai and Taruto to assist me."

"Why should I punish either of you?" their master asks. Now they are shock as they look at the empty throne where the voice is coming from. "My awakening is taking longer than we have hoped and I wish to save our clan as any of you. However, I do not approve of this method. How long have you three both been feeding on these humans?"

Pai answers, "Two weeks, Master Deep Blue."

"And how many humans have you killed?"

"136 humans," Taruto answers.

Kisshu adds, "We devoured ten more last night, master."

Deep Blue says, "Although the numbers are great, the method of killing them is too slow. There are billions of humans on this planet and hundreds are born each day. By the time all of them have been slaughtered, our clan will be annihilated or you won't be finished at all." When he said that, Kisshu, Pai, and Taruto look at him in confusion. What is that supposed to mean?

"I want you three to stop drinking their blood and I want you three to use your time resisting on finding a different way to destroy them. I will be awakened soon but I at least want half of the humans to be killed before then. Kisshu!"

"Yes?" he answers.

"For being honorable in taking the blame for your actions, I will give you the privilege of attacking earth first once you have contained yourself of consuming blood."

Kisshu bows his head and says, "Thank you, Master Deep Blue."

"Now, leave!"

"Yes!"

After that, the three aliens teleported away to get to work. They first tried to contain themselves when blood is spilt but it took weeks before they could hold themselves from drinking that blood. However, Kisshu took the shortest time to recover.

"…Who Who is the one who started this blood-sucking murders? Is he influencing more to join this monstrous act? What do they want and why are they killing innocent people at random? Is this the work of an actual vampire or a vampire want-a-be's?"

When Ichigo Momomiya sees this on the TV screen of her home, she pulls her legs closer to her body and holds the pillow closer in fear. She mumbles, "Scary. This is totally scary!"

"Ichigo!!"

Ichigo looks up, over her shoulder to look at her mom as she tells her daughter, "Dinner is ready."

"Okay!" she yells back. Then she turns to the TV and grabs the remote. She turns the TV off and gets off the couch to eat dinner.

Sakura Momomiya, the mom sits down at the table of food and Ichigo comes to sit down after her. They both clasp their hands together and say, "Itadakimasu!" Then they began to eat.

Sakura tells Ichigo, "Your father is coming late so it's just you and me tonight."

"Okay," Ichigo answers, taking some of the pickles to put on her bowl of rice. Then she asks, "Mom! Did you find out when that Endangered Species Exhibit is opening up?"

Sakura asks, "You mean the one of the Red Data animals?"

Ichigo nods. "Yeah."

"My friend told me that it's opening up in about a month since most of the workers have been killed by that blood-sucking murder." Instead of pouting like a disappointed, impatient teenager, Ichigo's skin crawls at the reminder of the blood-sucking murder. "Have the police caught that murderer?"

"Murderers, mom," Ichigo corrects. "And no they haven't. Only that they killed a whole club worth of people."

"Oh my god," she breathes out, now unable to eat her sashimi. "I hope they catch them soon."

'I hope so too,' Ichigo thinks. 'Otherwise, I'll never get the chance to ask Masaya out!'
