Crimson Love
€hapter 1: Meeting under the Moonlight
Angel
I stood there under the light pink blossoms of the cherry tree. In the silver rays of the moon the petals looked a pure white. A gentle breeze crossed me and the petals danced in the sky around me. My silver hair danced with the pure petals and swirled around my face and ankles. I sat on one of the long, dark brown branches that looked almost black from the dark night, and gazed at the only visable light. "The light shines through even in the darkness," I say quietly to myself, "But the light can easily be blocked from view." I stare out at the ankle high grass and watched it sway with the breeze. Suddenly, the silver rays of the moon turned a dark red. My eyes shifted up to moon and I gasped with amazement. The pure silver moon that shone brightly in the sky had turned a bloody red. The sky around it was outlined in a black-ish red color. "It's beautiful," I heard someone ask in a soft, velvet like voice, "Isn't it?" I turned my head slowly to the side and and gasped again. Staring straight at me with a cherry blossom petal in his slim fingers, was a boy with eyes just like crimson.
The boys hair was a dark golden from what I could tell in this light. His skin looked pale and his eyes looked like fresh blood. A smile was visable on his face and his perfect white teeth looked like there was a sharp point on both sides. "What are you?" I asked after a moment. The smile changed into a smirk as he asked me, "Isn't the question normally, Who are you?" I shook my head no and said, "I can tell you're not human. But your not a spirit either." I gazed at the pale ivory skin and the boy asked me, "What's your name?" I looked into his eyes with a blank expression on my face and said, "Common courtesy to give ones own name before asking for the name of someone else." He bit his lip and sighed. "Ean. That's my name," he told me after another sigh. "Angel," I informed him, "That's all you need to know. Now I'll ask again, What are you?"
Ean looked at me with his crimson eyes turning brighter with each passing second. "Do you really have to ask?" he asked me after we stared at eachother for a few moments. "Not really. But I do like to make sure I'm right before I actually say the answer," I answered him. "Then tell me what you think the answer is," Ean countered. I sighed this time and finally said, "You're a vampire." I shrugged and jumped off the tree branch. "Where are you going?" Ean called after me. I glanced over my shoulder at him and placed my hands in my pockets. "If I don't leave now the gang will come searchin' for me," I answered him after a second. "ANGEL!" I heard someone call. The voice was firm, rough, and very, very, angry. "Speak of the Devil and there he will rise," I whisper half to myself. I glanced in Ean's direction and he seemed to have blended into the shadows. "Angel Kuromi!" shouted the voice again. I sighed once more and finally called, "Over here, Taki."
Almost at once a boy that was slightly taller than myself came walking towards me. "Angel, what are you doing out here?!" he shouted at me. His raven black hair and lighter streaks were barely visable in the sky that held no stars. I held one finger up and pointed to the tree branch I was sitting on. "Watching," I answered honestly. "Angel, you're the leader to one of the strongest gangs in this city. If you wonder off on your own then other gangs will try to take advantage of that," he stated to me for the what seemed like the fifth time. "Taki," I started, "You know that no one is able to take on me. And if they even tried to mess with Black Blood then they'd have to deal with me afterwards." Taki gritted his teeth and clenched his fists to his side. "You're to cocky Angel. What would you do if the other gangs attacked both you and Black Blood at the same time when you was away?" he asked me through gritted teeth. I yawned and answered through narrowed eyes, "Kill them, then go help Black Blood. Simple." I started walking past Taki and said with a whisper, "I won't let anything happen to Black Blood, Taki. I'm the leader of it. And the members in Black Blood are the only family I have." He sighed and whispered back, "I know Angel. We all know that. Why else do you think we've followed you this far?" A slight smile formed at the corner of my mouth and I said, "Come on Taki. Without their Mother around, the boys get so anxious." He chuckled softly and replied, "I bet they're missing their Father right about now, too." We both laughed a little at that and continued on into the dark allies that protected us from view.

Ean
I sat there in the dark brown tree. The light pink cherry blossoms flowing across me with the gentle breeze that swayed them. In front of me, not more than 15 feet away, was a girl. She had long flowing silver hair that flowed at her ankles and seemed to shine along with the pure glow from her slim yet long arms. I stared at her as the breeze made her hair flutter across her face. Only when the moon turned bloody red did she seem to notice I was there. She gasped with amazement as the sky above her seemed to change color before her very eyes. "It's beautiful," I said slowly in a soft gentle voice, "Isn't it?" She slowly turned her head in my direction and gasped again. I smiled at her and she finally asked, "What are you?" My smile changed into a smirk as I asked the girl, "Isn't the question normally, Who are you?" She shook her head no and said, "I can tell your not human. But you're not a spirit either." I stared at her with amazement clouding my thoughts for a moment. She can tell that just by looking at me? I thought slowly. "What's your name?" I asked her without thinking. The girl looked straight into my eyes with a blank expression which I couldn't read and said, "Common courtesy to give ones own name before asking for the name of someone else." I bit my lip and sighed deeply. "Ean. That's my name," I told her after I sighed again. "Angel," she informed me, "That's all you need to know. Now I'll ask again, What are you?"
I looked at her. I knew my eyes were turning a brighter crimson with each moment that passed. "Do you really have to ask?" I asked her after we stared at eachother for a few more moments. "Not really. But I do like to make sure I'm right before I actually say the answer," she answered me. "Then tell me what you think the answer is," I countered hotly. She sighed this time and finally said, "You're a vampire." Angel shrugged and jumped off the tree branch she was sitting on. "Where are you going?" I called after her. She glanced over her shoulder at me with her hands in her pockets. "If I don't leave now the gang will come searchin' for me," she answered me after a second. "ANGEL!" we heard someone call. The voice was firm, rough, and very, very, angry. "Speak of the Devil and there he will rise," she whispered half to herself, but I heard it. Angel glanced in my direction, but I had already moved farther back into the shadows. "Angel Kuromi!" the voice shouted again. Finally she sighed and called, "Over here Taki."
Almost at once a boy that was slightly taller than Angel came walking towards her. "Angel, what are you doing out here?!" he shouted at her. He had raven black hair and lighter streaks in it that was barely visable in the sky that held no stars. She held one finger up and pointed to the tree branch that she was sitting on. "Watching," Angel answered honestly. "Angel, you're the leader to one of the strongest gangs in this city. If you wonder off on your own then other gangs will try to take advantage of that," he stated to her and I almost gasped in shock. "Taki," Angel started, "You know that no one is able to take on me. And if they even tried to mess with Black Blood then they'd have to deal with me afterwards." Taki gritted his teeth and clenched his fists to his side. "You're to cocky Angel. What would you do if the other gangs attacked both you and Black Blood at the same time when you was away?" he asked her through gritted teeth. She just yawned and answered through narrowed eyes, "Kill them, then go help Black Blood. Simple." She started walking past Taki and said with a whisper that I barely heard, "I won't let anything happen to Black Blood, Taki. I'm the leader of it. And the members in Black Blood are the only family I have." He sighed and whispered back, "I know Angel. We all know that. Why else do you think we've followed you this far?" A slight smile formed at the corner of her mouth and she said to him, "Come on Taki. Without their Mother around, the boys get so anxious." He chuckled softly and replied, "I bet they're missing their Father right about now, too." They both laughed a little at that and continued on into the dark allies that protected them from view. Every view but mine that is.
I stared after her. Angel gave one last glance in my direction and mouthed the words, "Bye-Bye, Red eyes." What an un-charming girl, I thought to myself as I stared blankly at the spot she last stood. "Her name doesn't fit her attitude," I said without thinking. I glanced down with a slight frown on my face and said slowly, "But she looks lonely and out of place." At that I slapped myself on both cheeks and growled at myself. Why am I still thinking about her?! I shouted in my head. But my answer wasn't what I expected. Images of a silver haired girl with lonely moon bright silver eyes passed through my head. Angel... Kuromi, I thought after I remembered what that big brute named Taki called her, Maybe I should pay a little visit tonight. After that, I decided to seek out, what they called, Black Blood. Her.
