~A Midnight Stroll~

-x-x-x-

~Sleep...rest plentifully...let there be no one who can harm you...sleep~

"Is someone there?" Shadows caressed my body in the most sensual of ways; as if the darkness had a mind of its own, trailing invisible fingers all over my scantily clad body, I could feel the rush of heat fill me cheeks. "Stop..."

~Let me take you to a place...where I will be all that you require...~

The light touch changed from pleasant to uncomfortable, no longer a teasing stroke, but a taut grip. "Stop!"

~I can set you free...~

Choking, fingers ruthlessly took hold of my neck, a sharp pain to the tender flesh between my neck and shoulder...darkness...

'It hurts...why does it hurt...my body, is so...sore...'

~I can protect you...~

The voice, once high in pitch, scratchy and vile in sound, now held a soft, melodious tenor, a deep warmth, and a promise of safety within it. So smooth, I felt myself melting at the voice never before heard.

"Protect me..."

~Kagome...~

"Yes?"

~Kagome!~

"...! What is it?"

"Kagome!"

Tired eyes glanced to her door, a deep azure blue with a tantalizing sparkle to them. Dressed in a vermillion red silk dress that was untied a loosely falling off her shoulders as she idly laid upon her bed. "Mmm?"

Footsteps could be heard from the other side on her door. A click and she watched the door open with the turn of her doorknob, "Don't just mumble a reply, Kagome." A woman with black hair in a pixie cut and brown eyes like that of an innocent doe frowned at the uninterested look in her daughters eyes. "We're out of milk, could you go and get some? Also, pick up some garlic, a couple lemons, ginger and some pepper."

"..." Kagome sighed, sitting up; she stood and made her way to her bamboo tabi's. "I'll be back," She passed her mother, taking the money from her as she did. 'I guess...it was just a dream?'

-x-x-x-

'It's too late for errands...' Grabbing a half gallon of 2% Milk, she checked the date before placing the jug in her carry basket. Moving a few isles down, she searched the fresh produce for ginger, lemons and garlic, choosing black garlic over the white; she bagged her items then paid that cashier.

"Thank you, and have a nice day."

Kagome barely paid attention to the woman behind the cash register as she left the market with ever intention of returning home and going to bed, again. Now, that was her intention...it obviously wasn't going to happen that way.

~Vaa~

Kagome paused in her trek towards home, turning around to see what had made such a sound; she frowned when she saw no one around.

~Vaaaa~

Turning towards a gathering of trees with scattered flowers littering the area, she moved carefully and silently towards the floral surroundings and moved aside a few low branches. Her eyes widened at the sight before her, unsure of what to do, she just stared.

'Is that…'

-x-x-x-

"I don't want to die, Jaken; he'll kill us if we can't find that pest!"

"Quiet! He'll kill you for more than losing─ack~!"

'Jaken...I will ask once...where...is he?'

An impish green creature struggled in mid air, small, callused hands gripped at the smooth, long and thin fingers that cut off his air supply, sharp claws started digging painfully into his neck as he fought to answer, "L-lo-s─uhk!"

'Wrong answer...Jaken...'

Those words echoed in the creatures head as air became scarce, the feel of sharp claws digging into its green, weak flesh caused fear to burden the creatures murky brown eyes as a sudden sharp pain could be felt; the feeling of its skin melting painfully away before being dumped into the outdoor waste bin nearby.

'You!'

"EEK!" The girl scrambled towards the voice, "Lord Taisho I─" She couldn't speak...unlike before with the creature whom she'd been with, she wasn't graced with clamed, nimble fingers around her neck. This was caused by a source of energy being injected into her heart. This was an unmistakable feeling, and it was the most painful way to be killed.

"Hush...hush...hush." It was softly spoken, a silky tone that one would think mixed with a dark chocolate and a rich espresso. Something so deliciously refined, "You...are not worthy of speaking my name."

"P-please...forgive me..."

"For that...yes...you're forgiven."

The girl let a sigh of relief escape her flush lips when a sudden sharp ache in her heart caused her eyes to widen before turning to look at the shadowed figure that stood before her. "M-Master! I thought─"

"I did not lie. You have been forgiven for voicing my name...but your names that you've chosen to gift my son...will not be so easily forgiven. Losing him, to add to your disrespect, merits your death."

Her left hand clutched her heart as it was squeezed painfully by the invisible hands of her master. She knew he was heartless, but...she never would have thought that he'd kill her...like this!

"I would drag this on...but I have more important matters to attend."

A bright light shrouded the street before vanishing as quickly as it came. In place of the girl was a pile of ashes and bone dust.

-x-x-x-

Kagome sighed, back in the market, she grabbed a bottle and a baby onsie before looking at the different baby foods and baby formulas.

"I don't even know where to start...but...I guess this?"

"Vaa!"

"Hm?" Kagome looked to the baby in her arms, a boy with white hair just past his shoulders and bangs that covered it forehead, stopping just at its eye brows. Golden eyes looked past her and towards the meat department. "No...you aren't old enough to eat meat...do you even have teeth?" Kagome placed a finger on the childs lips curiously and watched him open his mouth. Her eyes widened slightly, gazing at the small teeth and the four sharp canines that were peeked like daggers. 'That can't be normal!'

"Ma'am?"

Kagome jumped and turned to see the cashier looking curiously at her, "What?"

"Um, we're about to close."

"...ah, right!" She made her way to the meats and grabbed a pound of raw beef with the least amount of fat before making her way to the cash register once more.

-x-x-x-

The front door opened and Rai made her way to her daughter. "What took you so long Kagome, dinner doesn't wait, you know!"

"S-sorry..."

Rai looked curiously at her slightly worn out daughter, frowning, she shook her head and smiled. "Its fine, give me the groceries and card and go take a bath."

"Ah...yes, Mama." Kagome made her way upstairs and into her room where she stared at the baby on her bed. It had broken into the bag and was now trying to gnaw on the bloody block of meat. "N-no, no, no, no!" Kagome snatched the bloody produce from the baby and placed it on the shelf beside her bed. Picking up the child, it started struggling in her hold to get to the meat as she held him tightly in her arms, though still careful of the fact that he was still just a child. "You can't eat that through the package! I'll drain it for you, please, just be patient..." She was starting to get nervous with the baby's hungry appetite. At first, she was sure it was silly, but that proved it, this baby was a vampire. "Where are your parents?" She wondered aloud. Suddenly, a sharp pain on her wrist caused her to cry out in pain.

"Kagome?"

Stumbling to the door, she locked it before letting gravity take hold of her as she sank to the floor against the door. 'I feel...tired...so sleepy.'

"Vava!"

Kagome stared at the baby for a moment, watching the baby crawl around, full of pep and energy. Suddenly, a loud rapping on her door caused her to snap out of her daze, though she was still worn out.

"KAGOME? Kagome, are you okay?"

'Mama?' Her eyes widened in recognition, "Sorry Mama, I'm fine!"

"...alright then, dinner will be ready soon."

"I'm not hungry, Mama...just...a little sleepy."

"...if you're sure...good night, Kagome."

Kagome wasn't sure, her energy felt zapped, and she was sure it had something to do with the tiny little vampire nuisance that was now crawling into her arms. 'Guess he'd tired to...but...it's still night, I should keep him up a while longer so he'll sleep in the morning. Or will the sun not affect a vampire baby?' Kagome sighed, picking the baby up into her arms; she made her way to the bed and placed the baby down. Grabbing the meat, she took the bottle, and then made her way into the bathroom for a moment. She started squeezing the blood into the bottle over the sink, trying to get all of it inside of it instead of outside of it.

"Vaa~"

Kagome jumped, turning, she could see the babies shadow beneath the door. Placing the nipple on the bottle, she fastened it tightly, and then made her way back into her bedroom. Grabbing the baby, she climbed her way out of the window like she'd done when she'd dropped the baby off inside upon her arrival.

"Hold on tight, tiny little vampire baby." Kagome said as she jumped to the branch nearest her window, scaling down the tree before landing softly on the grass. She looked around, it was pitch black now, probably close to eleven, twelve...

She snuck away from her home and off in the direction of the park. Kids loved the park, so it made sense to her that if she wanted to keep the baby awake till five in the morning she needed to give him something to do.

-x-x-x-

'His scent...it's nearing...'

Crimson eyes trailed over the city, night life was starting to slow down as people began filing out of clubs and street pubs, making their way to local coffee shops or heading back home. The putrid stench of alcohol and those homeless trash raiders left much to be desired in the streets of Kyoto. Rarely was there a reason to walk amongst these primitive creatures...but tonight...tonight, he would bleed the night creature dry...so rarely did it come out.

-x-x-x-

"So...what should I call you? Baby D? Dracula? Mini Blood Sucker?"

"Vaa~"

Kagome continued pushing the baby in the toddler swing at the park. Hours had passed, and a feeling of dread had begun to wash over her indefinitely.

'Sesshoumaru...'

"Hm?" Kagome frowned, pushing the baby as a familiar voice flitted through her head. Like a memory forgotten, she thought for a moment, "S-Sessh-ou-maru...Sesshoumaru?"

"VA~!"

Kagome jumped at the excitement coming from the baby swinging before her. "Is that it? Is that your name?" Kagome asked, "Oh god, what am I doing? I'm talking to a mythological baby, something that shouldn't exist, and I'm pushing it in a swing, without a care in the world, after it has already bitten me. This isn't normal!"

Kagome suddenly went rigid, something sharp against the flesh between her neck and shoulder caused her to turn, where her azure blue orbs met molten gold orbs; the same eyes that the baby in the swing had. "Where were you bitten?"

It was the same voice that she'd heard mere moments ago, Kagome spun around so quickly that she lost her footing and went tumbling, almost hitting the metal pole in the process, had it not been for the man standing before her catching her before impact.

"Speak, human! Where...were you bitten!"

"J-just on t-the wrist...why?"

He released her, and subconsciously she picked up the baby and held him close to her. The man, she got a better look at, had long silvery white hair pulled into a high ponytail that fell down past his waist, jagged marks on his cheeks in a purplish maroon color, and a crescent moon in the same shade centered on his forehead, surrounded and framed by his bangs. He was dressed in mostly white; a long white cloak however, hid most of what was worn. All she could make out was the colors of his wardrobe. "It's no problem if it was just your wrist. Had my son bitten your neck, we would have had much worse problems...although...you will definitely be feeling this by tomorrow night."

"F-feeling what?"

"..." The man looked at her and sighed, "Feeling the change."

"...?" Kagome prided herself in her intelligence, but right now, she was seriously drawing a blank. "What change?"

"Well...when a vampire bites a human, you begin to gain some of that vampires strengths and abilities."

"WHAT?"

"Hush!"

"How can you tell me to 'hush', I'm going to start acting all vampirish because your baby decided to throw a temper-tantrum!"

He raised a thin eyebrow and stared at the girl as she began to pace, muttering and mumbling to herself about what she might do to her family, how she was a danger to everyone around her, how they would pierce her heart with a steak, which by the way, he couldn't help but smile at. "That would hurt,"

She frowned, "Aren't you going to try and kill me? I mean, a human turning into a vampire and such is bad, right? Don't you need to...preserve the species...or, something?"

He laughed, a deep, heart stopping chuckle. "I never said you would turn into a vampire. I said you would retain some of my son's abilities and strengths. Since he's still only a baby, it won't be much, but being bitten on the wrist won't change you. It looks like he just decided that you would be its food source. That's how vampire's feed, by drinking blood from the wrist. Turning a human into a vampire is far more complicated than feeding. However, I should mention this. You are lucky my son is just a baby, for had this been a fully grown vampire, not like myself, they could have drank you bloodless. I actually have more control over myself, though."

"...r-right...and, who are you?" She asked curiously. "I mean, I get that your...Sesshoumaru's father, but who are you?"

"I am the Leader of my kind."

"Vampire lord?"

"Something like that. I am only the leader of my kind, there are many breeds of Vampires, I am of the Wampyrus Inu Clan, I am the head of the clan, and he is the heir to the clan. We are of the Immortal type, drinking human blood is our source of energy, until we find a mate, in which we rely on our mates' blood. There are cases where the mate will be unable to provide enough life source, and the alpha will fall ill do to a lack of energy, so they will leave in search of a new source."

"The man will leave?"

"The alpha can be male or female. It is the one who places the mark on of binding...not necessarily the male."

"Oh...ah, I suppose you want your son back. Um," Kagome handed the bottle of blood to him, then Sesshoumaru who started crying at suddenly being separated from her.

"Hush, hush...you'll see her again...soon enough."

Kagome frowned, opening her mouth to ask what he meant; she found he was already gone. "Did I...blink?"

Me: Hope everyone enjoyed! I started playing this new game, it's babysitting blob monsters, vampires, ghosts and dragons and such, and it just got me thinking, so I'll be playing with this now instead of the game. Let's see if I can make it to the boss level, ;)
