Wow! First new story of the New Year!

Wohoo my first attempt at the popular but redundant VAMPIRE fanfic!

I'm really not into vampire fanfics myself but I have come across a couple of really good ones and I guess those fanfics are what inspired me.

But wow, another new fanfic from me. I think I'm putting too much work on myself.

Ooh! So I came across this and apparently there are such things as werecats! I did not know that!

So a couple of things changed in this when I came upon that discovery.

Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Kingdom Hearts

Warnings: I do have problems with my tenses. It's my biggest weakness in writing. No need to review to tell me that. I'm trying my hardest to overcome it.

It was Halloween night which only meant one thing: tons of people out at NIGHT!

The one day a year they can be out in the open with blood all over them and no one would suspect a thing!

"Hey Roxas, I'm heading to a club to pick up my meal for the night, you wanna come?"

Said-blonde didn't reply as he knelt on top of a roof to watch the innocent children walk around in costumes with their friends and parents.

"No thanks, Axel," Roxas replied as he watched, wondering how many of those innocent children will stray from innocence forever as they get older. He figured he could always count and experiment, he's got eternity to research after all.

"You're no fun! See you later then!"

"See ya…" Roxas muttered without giving the red-head a glance who took off into the night.

After a few more moments of alone-time, he leapt off the building and into the alleyway. He picked up the black jacket he took from his last victim that he left there and put it on before casually walking out.

Walking around, he stumbled upon what he was looking for: A bonfire at the beach. Why? Simple: It's occupied by a lot of stupid, drunken teenagers.

Inviting himself in, since he himself looked like a teenager, he sat in an empty chair and looked around at the party. As Vexen had taught him: it's always good to observe and gather information first.

At first he didn't think it was really necessary but over time he found he finds the best-tasting treats when he observes first. And like everything else in life: practice makes perfect. Roxas can now figure out if a group holds no one good and can leave to find another party if that is the case. Of course, he got lucky today.

Roxas spotted a head of spiky brown hair bouncing around in the crowd. The owner of the hair literally fell out of the crowd in a matter of seconds after Roxas caught sight of it.

"Ow…"

Roxas blinked, his nose picking up a scent he liked. The boy got up, patted his Cheshire cat costume which was pretty much a shirt saying "I'm the Cheshire cat" with matching striped purple shorts making him stand out even more as he walked towards Roxas but it mainly due to Roxas sitting next to the table with food and drinks. Averting the brunette's gaze so the boy won't suspect he's being eyed, Roxas more or less listened to what the boy was doing which was only opening up one of the coolers and taking out a drink. Quickly glancing, Roxas saw it was soda and not bear…well that was new. As innocently and casually as possible, Roxas leaned a bit to his right to get as close as he can to get a good smell of the boy opening his soda.

Oh yeah, there's no mistake about it now that Roxas got a better whiff: This boy is untainted.

Roxas cannot stop thinking how lucky is he is to find a really attractive human with tasty blood that's completely untouched and pure. Boy is Axel going to be jealous afterwards. Well might as well snag the prey before it gets away.

Standing up and putting his hands in his pockets, Roxas approached the boy.

"Hey…"

Innocent blue eyes only stared at him before he replied with a bright smile,

"Hi!"

"You come here often? I'm new to these parts. Roxas is the name."

"I'm Sora! And um, I actually don't come here that often to be honest! I was kind of dragged here by my friend, Kairi!" Sora pointed over to the red-headed girl in a simple blue dress with a white apron. Roxas bets anything that the front said "I'm Alice."

"Is that so? So you're not the party person?"

Sora only shrugged before answering,

"I love to party it's just…not these kinds of parties."

Roxas knew what he was talking about: beer. Most of the people here are underage but they drink anyway.

The only drawback with trying to prey on someone like Sora is that it's a lot harder to lead them away from the party but in the end it's usually worth it so Roxas kept talking.

"You know, I have to agree," said Roxas, trying to gain the boy's trust,

"Really? That's awesome because now that I think of it…you're one of the few sober people I ran into!"

"So are you!"

Sora giggled and the first thing that crossed Roxas's mind was how cute that was.

"There's a park near here, we can take a walk to get away from all this," Roxas suggested as casually as possible but Sora shook his head,

"No thanks! If I leave Kairi's sight she'll hunt me down!"

Roxas frowned a bit, not believing this boy was also a goody-two-shoes that 'knew better' than to go somewhere with a stranger. Not only that, he wouldn't leave a friend that he knew was looking out for him.

The blonde glanced over at Kairi who wasn't paying attention to Sora at the moment.

"You're a good and loyal friend then, well why don't you just let her know where you'll be. We can just sit over there by those empty benches so she can see us," Roxas pointed to the isolated area not too far from here.

"Oh, okay then! Hey Kairi!"

When Kairi turned and the blonde got a better view of her, Roxas felt a raging pulse and upon instinct, he immediately hid himself between a few people. Oh what's this? He was right! It did say "I'm Alice." Completely off-topic but he couldn't help but notice.

Sora pointed at him and before long Roxas and Kairi met eyes anyway.

Immediately she formed a glare at him but Roxas glared back. Kairi pulled Sora close and whispered something in his ear.

Damn it…damn it all. Roxas shook his head, not believing the scene before him.

Sora's face grew worried and scared but he quickly tried to hide it.

Oh the secret was definitely out now.

Forget his good luck; this was the worst luck he could ever have!

After a warning look from Kairi, she turned back around again and Sora headed over to the bench where Roxas quickly followed. Getting close to Sora, he smelt it: fear.

"…I have to get home now actually," said Sora with a friendly smile.

"Really now?" Roxas asked with a light smirk and Sora nodded,

"So I'll be off! I'm really sorry!" Sora waved before he took off into the night. After Sora left his sight, Roxas walked away from the party and into the closest alleyway. After making sure there was no one else around, Roxas jumped and his arms formed bat wings. In a flash he turned into a bat that quickly flew in the direction Sora headed in. It didn't take long to find that set of spiky brown hair running down the empty street; but Roxas waited until Sora dropped his guard just enough.

Soon Sora did; his running went into a stop when he entered his neighborhood and he looked back, thinking he'll expect something. He turned and fast-walked, his eyes kept eying one of the houses which Roxas assumed belonged to Sora.

Home…it's a supposed safe haven for anyone. Creatures like himself were forbidden to feast off people that were already in their homes. If ever found out, they would be killed for doing so. Well he can't have Sora enter that safety now can he?

Swooping down from the sky, he transformed back and landed in front of Sora who gasped and back away.

"That Kairi friend of yours…she knew what I was the moment she saw me didn't she?" Roxas questioned and took steps towards Sora who kept taking steps back.

"…You already know the answer to that," Sora replied, his voice lightly shaking.

"Nice reply…you know, I really like you, Sora. I almost don't want to suck your blood."

"…"

"Not going to scream or run?"

"…" Sora stopped backing up and only glared at the blonde before him.

"Wow…you're really something," Roxas complimented and stopped approaching Sora, "You're attractive, but untainted. You're scared but you're brave…maybe I should let you live."

"You WILL let him live!"

Roxas growled and looked behind Sora to see Kairi approaching.

"Heh, so you did follow Sora home," Roxas smirked and folded his arms.

"I know better than to let him go home by himself when there's a bloodsucker after him!" Kairi pointed and stood in front of Sora protectively.

"Right…like you can protect him from me. Just because I'm young-looking doesn't mean I'm young and weak. I'm one of the most powerful 'bloodsuckers' in this area!"

"Then let us see…" Kairi challenged and approached Roxas. Within a few steps, her body started changing as she slowly leaned forward; and by the time she got on all fours, a reddish lynx was in her place,

"A werecat…I knew the scent was different from a werewolf! What a surprise!" Roxas almost laughed, not believing there are cats in this area. He knew Kairi wasn't human the moment he got a good look at her but the feeling was so unfamiliar as he has never run into a werecat before.

"Leave Sora and never come back," Kairi ordered.

"…Not going to happen," Roxas shook his head and as soon as his answered finished, Kairi pounced. Throwing his arm in front of him for Kairi to bite, Roxas fell on his back but he used the free arm to punch the lynx off him.

"Kairi…" Sora whispered into the night as he waited for the opportunity to get to his house but worrying about his friend kept distracting him. He had chances and would take a few steps to inch towards his house but he couldn't do it; he couldn't just leave his friend fighting a vampire. But what can he do? Nothing…

He stood and watched the two fight…that is until both Sora and Kairi felt a realization; that realization distracted Kairi and gave Roxas the opening to hit her hard enough to send her flying back against a lamp post, denting it, and causing her to shift back upon her impact on the ground.

"Kairi!" Sora shouted and ran to his friend but Roxas landed in front of him, grabbing the boy by his shirt.

"Your friend is going to owe me a lot of bandages," he stated as there were scratches all over his face and the skin shown through his ripped clothing, "Or at the very least…you."

Immediately Sora struggled but it didn't take long for Roxas to pin Sora on the ground, on his stomach, and tilt his head just enough for Roxas to go in and sink his teeth into his neck. Roxas planned to take the boy's virginity as well but that lynx just had to get in the way so Roxas went straight for the feasting.

Like all preys before him, they screamed in pain and for hopes someone would hear them. However, there was one thing his previous preys didn't do that Sora did.

Sora quickly stopped crying out and resorted to quick breaths and pants as if conserving energy. Using what strength he had left, Sora took in a deep breath before letting out a loud feline cry.

Roxas withdrew his teeth and looked at the boy under him. Sora sprouted small, but real, cat ears and Roxas kept getting hit in the back by the slashing tail that also sprouted.

"…What are you?" Roxas whispered before he heard a deep and loud roar. He tightened his grip on Sora as he scanned the area, looking for the source of that sound. He got his answer when he saw a shadow leap from the roof of one of the houses and landed before them. Upon landing, it lets out the same strong, deep, and loud roar. Intimidated, Roxas immediately releases Sora and jumped back to see a very large, brown-mane, scarred, male lion stepping himself between Sora and Roxas.

"Another werecat…" Roxas whispered to himself, finding himself shaken up by the lion's roar. The lion eyed the vampire who eyed back and backed himself up as the lion approached him, threatening Roxas to dare make an attack.

"…Kairi, get Sora," the lion growled and Roxas looked over to see Kairi struggling into a stand before running over to Sora who was on his knees and crying as he held his neck in pain. So many questions ran through Roxas's head. He was beyond confused of the situation and he wasn't even sure what Sora is! Of course that question had an easy answer.

"What the…Sora! Kairi!"

Down the street, behind Sora and Kairi, Roxas made out a tall blonde man walking in on the scene but was hard to make him out until he got closer due to the man wearing only black leather. Taking a few sniffs from the air, Roxas got the scent. That man was human. Not only that, he knows Sora and Kairi; plus he doesn't seem fazed that there's a giant lion in the middle of the street!

Roxas thought back to when he was fighting Kairi and that single moment when she was distracted. Both Sora and Kairi glanced in that same direction that the man just came in on…meaning they both caught his scent or felt him approaching!

"Sora! Oh my Shinra, Sora what happened?" the boy who threw his arms around the man the moment he knelt down,

"Dad!" he cried and started to sob uncontrollably.

Then it all clicked in Roxas's head.

"You're a half-breed!" Roxas exclaimed out loud and pointed at him.

The lion growled and almost bit Roxas's hand off if Roxas didn't quickly withdraw it.

"You call my son that again and I'll make you wish you were human so I couldn't kill you!" the lion threatened as he forced Roxas farther and farther away, "Leave! And never touch my son again!"

"…R-Right," Roxas slowly nodded. A werewolf or a lynx-werecat was one thing but one should not take on a lion: the king of the jungle, the king of the beasts! Especially when all alone or if the lion was as large as the one before him!

The lion made one last threatening roar before Roxas turned and ran, quickly turning into a bat to escape.

After feeling sure the vampire's presence was gone, the lion started changing as he went on its hind legs until a human took its place. As soon as he took human form, he went to Sora and checked the bite mark.

"You'll heal, Sora. You'll be okay," he whispered and patted the boy's head, "Although this might be the last time you're going out on Halloween. Same goes for you, Cloud! And Kairi…I truly thank you for watching out for Sora."

Kairi only nodded and was about to reply but Cloud hit the man over the head before she could,

"I could hear screaming and Kairi's cat cry all the way down at Cid's store! What the hell were you doing the whole time, Leon?" Cloud exclaimed as he held Sora close and rubbed his back comfortingly.

"Um…you don't want me to answer that," Leon stated with shifty eyes as he rubbed his head.

"Leon…" Cloud stated the name firmly and Leon sighed,

"I was napping and you know I'm a heavy sleeper! But the moment I heard Sora I woke up! That's got to count for something!"

Cloud only sighed and rolled his eyes before motioning for Leon to take Sora.

"Yes, it does," Cloud slowly nodded as they all stood up, "So Sora, start screaming whenever you're in danger. As silly as it sounds, I'm serious."

Sora nodded as wrapped his arms around Leon who picked him up,

"I will…and thank you, Otosan…"

"There's nothing to thank for Sora. I'll be there to protect you whenever you need me to…"

Roxas dropped the now-corpse on the ground and wiped his mouth of the blood.

"Roxas!"

Roxas turned to meet eyes with his best friend that just landed next to him after he dropped from the sky,

"You're the only one that hasn't come back to the castle! What's up?" Axel asked and slapped Roxas across the back before his eyes widened, "What the hell happened to you? Did you get hurt?" he asked pointing at the rip clothing where he assumed Roxas was attacked. Roxas only shrugged and waved it off since all his wounds were healed already.

"…Axel, are there such things as half-breeds?" Roxas asked and stared up at his friend. He had to make sure. He knew were-animals can't 'half-transform' yet Sora had a tail and ears.

"What's with that sudden question? And yeah, of course there are! But it's rare to come by one because they carry a human's scent, appearance, and aura most of the time. I heard it's rare for them to keep abilities from their creature half. So you may never know if one's a freaky sub-human unless you bite one!"

"…Sub-human?" Roxas raised a brow in question.

"Sub-human, half-breeds, it's the same thing!"

"Okay…and why is it if I bite one I'll know?"

"Well I guess it depends on what half they have! Let's say you bit a half werewolf; his or her animal instincts might start kicking in and gain some strong werewolf strength to fight back. And if that's not the case, they just don't die right away, if at all, like humans do. Some don't even fall unconscious throughout the whole thing. It's weird but they're out there!"

"I see…"

"Why? Did you happen to come across one? Did you kill it?"

"…It's nothing," Roxas shook his head and turned away from Axel, "Let's head back to the castle."

"Well okay then!" with a shrug, Axel turned into a bat and headed home with Roxas quickly following.

Notes:

-Otosan: polite/highly respectful way to say 'father' in Japanese

-You guys SHOULD have questions (or comments about my 'mistakes')and they will be answered(prove they're not mistakes) next chapter!

-Sub-Human was taken from Fire Emblem. It's the only time I've heard the word used on any kind of half-breed so I do not taken credit for it.

-Aww, Sora's a Neko-Jin! I didn't really plan that when I created this lol!

-Werecats can pretty much be any feline.

-Kairi's addition was last-minute mainly due to me not being able to create a situation for Roxas to lure Sora away from a crowd. I'm pretty proud though since she actually does something in my fanfic vs. her being the most useless character in KH(sorry that's how I see her, don't go yelling at me for that). Wondering why it wasn't Riku instead? You'll see.

Please read and review!

Thank you!
