Natsuno sighed softly, eyes glancing out the window; the scenes moving to fast for him to really catch. It had been several years since the Sotoba incident. No one spoke of it, and no one had ever discovered the truth of the horrors that had happened in that small, country-side village. The only survivors of the incident, had vowed never to even mention the name, as well as going their separate ways. The good news was that Natsuno finally got out of that place. Just like he always said he would. The cost however, was too much. So many lost... to such.. disgusting creatures, and he himself forced to live the life of one.

Unlike his creators, he didn't drink from the same human until they died, he drank from many, not wanting to put them into that trance like state, not wanting to take them away from their families. So a new face every night. The effects would wear off within a few days.

Being a Jinrou had its advantages, he could live a normal life, sleeping during the night, walking out in the sun. If he could only contain the blood lust.. he would have no problems. However, he had come to terms that it would never leave him.

Glancing away from the window, someone sat across from him and he was surprised, dark eyes widening as the familiar brown eyes met his own. They remained silent, a mutual silence, Natsuno's eyes questioning, waiting for Toshio to speak. For a few minutes there was nothing but the sound of the train moving along its tracks and the quiet chatter of people around them. "There's more of them." his voice, shattered the almost-silence.

Natsuno couldn't believe his ears. He swore they had gotten rid of them. All of them. Burnt to cinders. Could they have missed one? And they had gone off to create themselves more?

Speaking of which, he himself should have been as well. But somehow, he had managed to survive the dynamite, and rubble don't ask him how.. all he remembered was throwing the dynamite at Tatsumi and then darkness. He had woken up to that as well, a soft voice of a woman, how she had saved him, he wasn't sure.. but she provided him with blood, and then was gone. So maybe, it wasn't so crazy that there were more.

He took in Toshio's appearance. His clothes were tight, nothing loose or hanging, smart, no one could grab them and pulled, they would have to touch him. He had definitely aged in the seven years that passed. He was still young though. Natsuno hadn't changed at all.
"How many?"
"I don't know."
"Their location."
"Same."
"Are you going to destroy them?"
"Of course."

Natsuno met Toshio's eyes, he knew he would also fall prey to the mans hands one day, but both of them knew it would be very difficult for him to beat them on his own.. though, who knew how many there were.. did he really expect to rid the world of them completely? "Fine, I'll help." Natsuno said and closed his eyes, pulling his hood over his head and hiding his face. His eyes closed. He had seen too much death, he would prefer to see no more, but if he had to.. and it prevented others from losing their life, than so be it.

He was woken by a strong hand shaking him awake, not even realizing he had fallen asleep and he gripped the wrist hard, his eyes flashing black and red as he looked up at Toshio. He quickly regained his senses and scoffed. Slapping his hand away he stood and got off the train with him. Spotting a strong looking young man he moved to talk to him, his voice sending him into a kind of stupor and he led him over to a dark ally.

It was over quickly. He didn't play with his food. It wasn't a game to him. "Did you kill him?" Natsuno shook his head. "Of course not. Do you know your way around the Ikebukuro district?" He changed the subject It was Toshio's turn to shake his head. "Nope, first time in Tokyo, I've been in Osaka... that's where I ran into one." he said and sighed. "He knew about me, knew about the incident... I think.. I think we aren't safe." he said as they started to move and Natsuno nodded slowly. "Are we ever?"

And it was true, were they?

Leading him back to his apartment complex he entered the lobby, waving to the land lord before moving to the elevator. "About time you brought some friends home young man! I was starting to worry about you." Natsuno just waved her off, an older lady of little importance, before the elevator doors closed. "How long have you been here?" It was small talk, something neither of them were fond of, but it would need to be done eventually, though silence was nice, they couldn't communicate without speaking , they barely knew each other. "Five years now.. I wandered around for a while, before settling here and going to school." "Where'd you get the money?" Natsuno remained silent to this question. "Does it matter?" he said as the elevator doors opened and he stepped out into the bleak hallway.

It was of simple design, not made to be eye catching at all, which is why Natsuno liked it. He hated places that attracted to much attention. He stopped in front of his door, sniffing the air and his eyes narrowed a little. "Watch yourself." he said and quickly pulled his keys out, and opened the door. As they stepped inside he noted a young boy sitting on his bed, no older than maybe fifteen. "Ahh! The little werewolf and his vampire hating friend have finally arrived." His voice held a sick, innocent quality to it. It sounded distorted, wrong. His face was that of an angle, but it was as if he were wearing a mask, and you could see the sinister look in his plain brown eyes.

He jumped off the bed and Natsuno put himself into a fighting stance, making the young boy let out a small giggle. "I'm not here to fight Natsu..chan~" he moved and in the blink of an eye was right behind them, a blade to Toshio's neck, his legs wrapped around the others waist to hold himself up. "I just come, bearing a message from my beloved mistress." he licked over Toshio's ear who growled and tried to throw him off, but he was already in front of him again.

"If you wish to live, I would suggest not meddling in affairs that aren't yours. If you think there is only a few of us, you are wrong.. come to the park tonight at Midnight, we won't hurt you, we give you our word. But I believe it would be fun to see your face just for you to know how many we are. Come unarmed, or we forfeit our word and will attack you all at once." The little boy smirked, bowing. "My name is Jai, just so you know and it's pronounced like the English letter J, don't forget now~ I look forward to seeing you tonight." he said and moved to the window and leaped out. "How did he come in uninvited?" Natsuno moved over to the bed and growled. "He risked it, look at the blood. We can enter a house uninvited, but we start to decay. Don't ask me why, but we do." he ripped the sheets from the bed and threw them into a hamper. "Are we going?"

"Of course."

Natsuno expected no other answer. He was just as curious as Toshio, though Natsuno was starting to think, this might just be an impossible task they would set out on.. but, there had to be more like him. More who wanted this to end.. to stop the killing.. unless, this city was more civilized. It would make sense, but Natsuno had this now warped perspective that all of them were evil. Including himself.

It was almost midnight and Toshio and Natsuno were sitting on a bench, watching as people left, turning in for the night. It was mainly hooligans, or drug dealers. Though they were in the same category. Soon it was completely empty, and the moment his watched beeped, signaling it was twelve, they were suddenly surrounded. There were at least thirty of them. Toshio's mouth went dry and he paled. Natsuno and he both rose slowly, Natsuno watching them closely, and getting a bit disturbed when that Jai kid blew him a kiss. What a creepy kid.

A young woman moved forward. Her hair was waist length pulled back into a loose pony tail. A daunting smirk rested on her dark red lips as she moved towards them. "Ozaki Toshio and Yuuki Natsuno.. pleasure finally meeting the ill fated bastards who ruined dear Sunako's dream." her voice was thick and sweet like honey, a foreign accent clung to each word for dear life. Natsuno didn't like her.

Moving closer her shorts clung to her legs and she ran her fingers along Toshio's chest. "I told you there were many, and this is only the Ikebukuro district.. there's more, spread out around the world you know.. some of us, even have a few little gifts, like being a Jinrou.. except, our clan, have speed faster than most.. sadly, not as fast as we would like, but we could keep up with a cheetah. So don't think it would be easy to catch us." she winked, her black eyes staring into Toshio's narrowed ones. "We're not afraid of you." he said simply. She laughed. "My dear boy, I'm not afraid of you, either." she smirked a little and licked along her lips. "We just don't want to have to kill you.. we would however.." she moved away moving back to her group. 'Like to use you to our advantage.. there are to many of us out there, too many are growing stronger, and stronger and stealing our prey." she growled and tapped her heel against the ground. "What makes you think we'll help you?" Natsuno growled out, his face passive to her.

She only laughed. "I don't believe I've introduced myself yet." she changed the subject. "My name is Miko, and the reason you should help is... that if you don't, we'll exterminate you right now." She grinned and multiple people stepped forward, their eyes glowing the red circle shining brightly in the shadows of the park. "So, what do you say, boys?"

A/N: There you have it, Chapter 1~ I hope it was alright.. still not too sure where this is going. Eheh, but it'll go somewhere! I hope.. and hopefully it won't be dropped. Feed back/constructive criticism is always welcome, but flames will be used to BBQ ribs. Mmm... Meat -Alice moment-
