A cold wind blew that day as a business man wearing a white suit with a grey shirt stood in the town square holding a katana as a grizzled figured walked up next to him
"This isn't right Shiro"
"I know what you mean Beowulf; the wind even though the weather is warm is bone chillingly cold" Shiro said shift his sword to used it like a cane as he looked out of the corner of his eye.
"They'll be moving soon; and they do like a good hunt" Shiro said
"But why now? and not in three months like normal?" Beowulf asked holding his gnarly old walking stick
"I do not know but for now good bye my friend, may the bright light shine on you"
"You as well young one" Beowulf farewelled his friend before walking off.
At Cross academy that night the atmosphere was not much warmer as Yuki shivered during her rounds of the academy ground in the night time
"Head back inside Yuki, otherwise you'll freeze" Zero said walking up to her before giving her his Helsing jacket
"Thanks Zero" she said pulling the jacket around her to keep warm during her walk to her dorm
"How sweet" a bitter voice said making Zero go for the Bloody Rose
"Hanabusa" Zero said
"You know Lord Kaname will not take kindly to you stealing what is rightfully his" Hanabusa said
"And what would that be Hanabusa?" Zero asked getting an uneasy feeling about the answer
"Why, Yuki's heart; she belongs at Kaname's side and nothing you can do will change that" Hanabusa said as frost spread throughout the area as Zero went for the Bloody Rose slowly.
"What no witty comeback?" Hanabusa said smirking
"No, just this one" Zero said firing a shot an inch away from Hanabusa who was now quite bug eyed at the act
"And who are you to direct the future of a teenage girl?" Zero asked walking away
"Jerk" Hanabusa said as he walked away as well.
Elsewhere a shady duo observed a student at a school, the one obviously in charged indicated the student who was on her own, the second one quickly kidnapped her from the school grounds and left; weaving through the alleyways that surrounded the school.
"There that's one of them isn't it?" one of them asked speaking in a cockney accent.
"Yeah it is, now for the next one on the list, man this hunt is an extravagant one ain't it?" second one asked in the same cockney accent
"Yeah well isn't her first hunt and there needs to be for her first hunt, now come on where's the next one?"
"A place called Cross Academy"
"Perfect, now let's go" The leader said as they dropped the girl into a room of other potential prey.
It was a warm sunny day, so Yuki took her homework out and sat out by the fountain to do it not noticing tow blurs dash by her and into the academy only for one of them to stop and indicate the girl to which the other one nodded making them both smile before moving off, Yuki paused looked up and looked side to side before shrugging and returning to her homework.
Else in the Academy Zero froze up while guarding the moon dorm gates from those who tried to sneak in during the day while on break. He looked at the gates to see Akatsuki and Hanabusa racing down from the dorms
"Looks like my senses were right" Zero said
"Get it in gear Zero, some Fuzzies are here" Hanabusa said dashing off.
"WHAT! How did they get into the academy?" Zero asked as he raced off with Akatsuki
"We're not sure all we know is that; two are here"
"And I think we just found out what happened to those other girls, they were taken for a hunt" Hanabusa explained
"Where are they?"
"Near the fountain" Akatsuki said.
"THEY'RE GOING FOR YUKI!" Zero shouted.
"What do you mean?" Hanabusa asked
"Yuki usually hangs out at the fountain when she's not on duty or in class" Zero said as the three raced through the academy before sliding to where the fountain was to see two people behind Yuki who was struggling with her English work.
"YUKI!" the trio shouted as Yuki looked up before the two strangers jumped her
"Hector Blume and John Moony; I should have known you two would have something with those girls going missing" Akatsuki growled.
"What are two Mozzies doing here?" Hector said
"Who cares; BAIL!" John said disappearing shortly before Hector.
"You know those two?"
"Yeah, the tall ginger haired one was Hector Blume" Hanabusa said
"And the one that's built like a tank was John Moony, you could call them talent scouts
"Talent scouts?" Yuki asked surprised
"Yeah, they use their talent to scout out new prey for some pretty important werewolf clans" Akatsuki
"So a hunt will be soon" Zero said
"Yep, and with the amount of missing girls this hunt that indicates only one thing" Hanabusa said as they entered the Moon Dorm.
"A first hunt, the first ever time a werewolf is let out of their dens to practice the ways of the hunter" Akatsuki said as Senri and Takuma was in the lounge
"A first hunt?" Taukma asked.
"Yeah Blume and Moony were in the grounds"
"Why here?"Senri asked
"Better question who's hunt is it?" Zero asked
In an old mansion Hector and John had they hats off looking like kicked people in front of a tall man in a tattered coat, and in front of the pair was a beautiful teenage that just reached the hunting age of eighteen
"So you were found out by a couple of mosquitoes" the girl said filing were metallic silver painted nails as another smaller girl worked on the golden blonde mane she had grown.
"We're sorry your highness, but we've still got" Hector started
"29" the tall man behind the girl growled
"I requested 30 girls to be apart of my hunt so they could form my protective unit if they were selected by me" she said standing up to behind a divider to change out of her robe.
"You two are now required to guard the prey" the girl said
"And Grimm well get this other girl, what's her name" the girl asked
"Yuki Cross milady"
Finally the girl stepped out wearing a black satin dress with a silver moon on the chest area
"The daughter of Kaien Cross?" the girl asked "She'll make a fine addition to my pack"
"I'll leave at dusk to have her by tonight" Grimclaw said
That Night teh werewolf known as Grimclaw entered the Academy, he knew this would be the easiest tiume as most of the humans were asleep, the vampires were in class and the only two people not in an occupied building was the guardians, one of which was his target, he swiftly and with great stealth looked for the girl, using his greatest senses to find her: Hearing and smell
"Hello, pretty lady, the princess will like you' he said as he slunk out of the undergrowth he was hiding behind
YUKI LOOKOUT!" Ruka shouted as RIma and Sairen attacked the werewolf
"Oh, crap its him"
"Who?" Yuki asked as Ruka kept her back
"That is Ulrich Grimm, a hunter. Not to mention a major player for the upper echelons of werewolf society" Seiren said
"Basically he gets what they want if no one else can get it" Rima explained
"Now if you ladies would be so kind could ya'll move so I could get Miss Cross
"What, scared that you can't beat a few vampiric girls?" Rima asked as she sparked her hands prepping her powers
"Three little bugs like you cannot stand against all of us" Grimm said as four more bestial werewolves attacked from behind crippling Ruka and stalling Rima and Seiren
"NOW BOYS GET THE GIRL!" Grimm ordered as teh pack moved in.
Once they were close enough to Yuki; the sound of a bullet ricocheting off the concrete
"Huh?" Grimm asked stupidly looking up to see a figure clad in black holding an old rifle "Who is that?" the werewolf as the figure jumped down and switch from his rifle to a shotgun and blasted the one closet to him away
"Wait, I know that look, and I recognised the rifle: BEOWULF KURAN!" Grimm shivered as the grizzled daywalker looked up
"Well, well, well; look at what the cat dragged in by his ass" Beowulf said as he kicked a second werewolf before a man dressed in a white suit walked up and slashed at the third one
"My apologies Beowulf, I was detained at my art museum" the man said
"No problem Shiro, at least your here" Beowulf said
"We'll be leaving now if y'all don't mind" Grimm drawled out
"Go on then" Beowulf snapped.
"And I advise that you don't let the gate close on your tails on the way out" Shiro said bowing as the werewolves limped away, but what they didn't notice was the grizzly smirk on the face of Grimm.
"Good riddance" Beowulf said as he picked up with walking stick rifle.
"Wait!" Ruka cried out looking around the area "Where's Yuki?" she asked panicked
"YUKI?" Beowulf shouted'
"Miss Cross?" Shiro then asked
"Shit, they got her" Beowulf said
"And so begins the hunt" Rima said darkly
