Introduction

The world is full of folklores and legends about different creatures. Some believe such stories but many do not even pay attention to such tales especially in this time of age. At this age of the world, people are too preoccupied with facts and figures to even notice the different 'kind' that walks with them; work with them; live with them; and in some unfortunate circumstances, feast on them. In a world filled with people that go with what is written and what is proven, who can even think that creatures which cannot be even classified in one of the families of the animal kingdom really exist? In this time of modernization and tranquility, who can imagine that a bloody war between such creatures and exceptional human lineages have been going on since ancient times? But everything must go with time. Nothing is more permanent than change. Nothing is more natural than the end. The new generation involve in that bloody war has its new ideals and perception of things. The moment of alteration of rationale has come. The end must have its way to start a new. The long clash between the Youkais and Vanquishers must come to an end. Hindrances are unacceptable and must be taken care of.

Chapter1: Escort

Almost midnight. The bats are restless in looking for something they can devour on. The owls with wide opened eyes are perfectly still as if waiting for a perfect prey.

"It's not moving." A girl whispered as she stares outside the window.

"What isn't?" A girl with an ice cold beer in her hands said.

The girl turned her head towards the other girl and replied "The owl.."

"For crying out loud Mizore-chan, we're all nervous enough here." She sat down and looked at the others. "And worrying about that stupid owl doesn't really help you know." Clearly, she was agitated.

"Kurumu-chan, Do you really think this will work out?" Mizore asked with anxious eyes.

"It has to work out. We already have suffered devastating losses. If this fails, we might…" She put the beer on the table. She couldn't finish.

"You guys shouldn't worry about those losses. Those are things we can never alter." A girl near the fireplace said. She took a sip of her tea and observed the fire slowly turn the wood into ashes. "All we have to do is just do what we can in order to make this settlement successful."

Both Mizore and Kurumu turned their heads towards the girl.

"For now, we must protect the Exorcist." The girl added

"Yes. We know but why do we need their escort? We can bring the Exorcist to the convention on our own." Kurumu took a large gulp of her beer.

"Don't drink to much Kurumu-chan. We must be on guard at all times." Mizore approached Kurumu and gently touched the beer with her finger.

The beer froze.

Kurumu's eyebrow twitched with irritation. "You could have at least let me finish it. It was my last can!"

Mizore made a small smile. "That's what you said the last time" She pointed the trash bin containing a mountain of beer cans.

Realizing Mizore's strong point, she just made a sigh.

The door creaked slowly. A fellow in white hood and with a golden cross hanging from his neck came in the room. "Their participation in this settlement should be evident. Since the goal of this settlement is peace between our kind, we need to learn to work with them and them with us." He took a seat near the fireplace. "I know it's dangerous. We are in a new age but the tension between us Youkais and those Vanquishers is still intense."

"Exorcist, tension is not the problem." Mizore gently spoke. "It is something we deal everyday of our lives. But the escort are--" She was cut by a sudden interruption

"Uniquely dangerous." A woman with braided hair came out of the shadows—from the darkest part of the room.

"medu—" Wrong name. "Ishigami.." Murmured Mizore.

Ishigami walked towards Mizore. "Beautiful white skin…" She slowly reached for Mizore's face with intent to caress her white cheek.

Before contact, Ishigami felt something sharp pointed to her neck. Just few centimeters more, it would have caused some blood.

"Oh my…" Her grin was sarcastic. "I'm sorry, I just cannot resist such a beauty." Ishigami stepped back with her hands raised up as if surrendering.

It was Kurumu's long sharp finger nails. Her eyes were boiling. "If you lay even one finger on Mizore-chan. There would be unnecessary blood that would spill and we don't want the lovely carpet be stained do we?"

Mizore poked Kurumu on the forehead and a sudden blink as Kurumu's response. "Cool down Kurumu-chan. I'm sure she wouldn't have continued. Frost bites are nasty on skin."

"Ok.. my bad. I apologize." Ishigami said in a sarcastic tone. "What were the Dark Lords thinking? Allowing such dangerous Vanquishers as escorts?" She addressed to the Exocist.

The Exorcist replied "That's why you are chosen to be here. You are all representatives of the Youkais' strongest and sociable families. In order to build a good relation, trust must be established."

"Trust comes in both ways" The girl near the fireplace added. And still, with the teacup on her hands.

"Why are you so calm Mocha?" Kurumu asked. "Those Vanquishers are not just dangerous. They're from the family of Aono. And we all know that they are the famed adversary of your race."

"We must be aware in keeping the balance as much as possible. It is one of the first priorities of the settlement." The Exorcist reasoned out. "And you shouldn't worry about him too much. He wouldn't do anything drastic not unless provoked to do so." He relaxed his hands on his seat.

"You know him?" Mizore couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I do. Tsukune, that's his name—From the famed Aono Family. Strong. Powerful. Influential family both in human society and lines of Vanquishers. " He turned to Mocha. "You do not have to worry about Tsukune. I'm pretty sure he will work cooperatively with us."

Mocha stared at the burning wood. "Aono The Slayers… Tsukune…" A drop of tea stained the carpet. Her vision suddenly got blurry.

"Mocha? Are you alright?" Kurumu noticed.

What is this? I'm feeling dizzy. Why? But I just had some blood a while ago.

"Mocha, perhaps you need more blood. There is still time. You can go and drink some if you like." The Exorcist suggested. Under that hood, no one can see the sign of an amused face. Hearing his mere name affects you eh..

"I might have drunk blood less than I should have. I'll be right back." She put her tea on the coffee table and went out of the room.

Dark. The moon is hiding in the clouds. No street lights, of course, they're in the woods. Only the cars' head lights serve as their remedy in this blinding darkness. The road is quite bumpy not just with rocks but some small creatures as well which really knows how to dodge the wheels except for the snake that the car met.

"Gin, slow down a bit. You might run over something again." A young man next to the driver's seat said.

"If we don't hurry it might get a little troublesome." The side mirror reflected nothing but darkness. That's the problem. Gin stepped harder on the gas.

The young man was sweating. Tension. Aware of darkness behind them, his eyes were in full alert.

"How did the Defiants found out? This isn't good. We have to take care of them." He took a good tight grip of his silver necklace.

"Idiot. You should have noticed by now— Shadow Dwellers. We can't do anything in this darkness. Further more; dealing with them is not really your job. We have to get to the mansion as fast as we can."

The young man nodded. Still gripping tightly his necklace

Gin saw the mansion just up the hill. It gave him a sign of little relief but the darkness was consuming the surroundings and the car as well.

"Shit! We can't fall in theirterritory!"

The gates of the mansion were closed. No time to get out and ring the bell. The car bashed the gates.
