Grey blue eyes stared out of the ratty, rotted window of the small abandoned shed. They blinked twice, before the owner ducked and dashed to the corner of the establishment, a small empty building on the outskirts of a city, with no glass in the windows or doors. It was all one big room, about the size of your general small public bathroom. There was no flooring; just dirt ground. A ratty blanket and a destroyed cardboard box with few items in it sat in a corner, where the boy was.

His name was Takeru Takaishi. A 13-year-old boy with the body and mind of a six year old. He had all his memories, and the vocabulary of a 13 year old, but he sure as hell couldn't do much else than think. Not right now, anyways. Tonight would be the biggest change in his life, amongst a series of many others. Had he known this, he probly woulda never left the 'house', but his curiosity woulda killed him anyways. Tonight was food night, which was apparent since his nerves were tingling. He crept silently from the house, on a doomed-to-fail mission, while said doom was merely a mile away or so.


Earlier


"Tai! I told you to pack FOOD! Not hot dogs and chocolate frosting! Jeez, really.." Matt groaned, sifting through a box of stuff that Tai had packed for their 'hunt'. Tai Kamiya and Yamato (Aka, Matt) were vampire hunters. Today was one of many hunts, but the only one that would make a difference to either of them. Tai looked up and grinned, small fangs poking out from the half-vampire's mouth. "Aw, but I love those! Looklooklook, just dip the hot dogs in the chocolate frosting, I SWEAR it's good!" He said, trying to pry the food from his best friend's hands. Matt shook his head defiantly. "NO! We need to—Oh don't give me that look! I'll take the hot dogs, but we're taking buns and shit with us, got it?" he asked, surrendering the items to Tai and crossing his arms.

Tai grinned. It'd been a while since Matt had been in the mood to give Tai what he asked for; the poor guy was never in a good mood. Then again, Tai didn't blame him. Going home, finding his parents and his brother dead…Tai shook his head. Matt hadn't been responsive at all, after coming to live with Tai. He'd opened up gradually until he reached 15, when he left to go live at his own house. The memories haunted him, sure, but he was happier there. Now, here's the weird part…

You see, vampires killed Matt's family; he'd sworn to kill every last one of em' too, except for Tai since he was only a half vampire, and his best friend. But otherwise, Matt had yet to break his promise of Vampiric annihilation. Every vampire they met, Matt killed with no questions; they were nothing to him. Nobody, just dead people who could still walk. They weren't important, and did nothing but harm. He cared nothing for their feelings.

It was a good bit later when the packing of supplies and food was complete, and the two were headed off through the ratty parts of town and into the woods where the Vampires stayed. A few of them, anyways; most of them were still walking about, disguising themselves as humans.

"So, how many do you think we'll catch tonight?" Tai asked, looking over. Matt didn't glance up from the road. "Dunno, but it better be a truckload of them, we didn't get any last night." He growled, more at the steering wheel than anything. "We're going to park over there and eat. I'm hungry." He added, making a sudden sharp turn into a thinly wooded area and stopping. Tai gazed at his friend in bewilderment, but soon was helping to set up camp. They were done in five minutes. Neither of them were aware of the green grey eyes watching them, glinting with a mixture of mild bloodlust and determination. Instinct was all they ran on.

One chance, it was all Takeru had. There were people here. He snuck forwards, trailing around the car and peering towards them from a few feet behind Tai; he was hidden safely behind a tree, watching them eat. How long had it been since he himself could eat like them? He couldn't remember. His fangs swelled and dug painfully into his lower gums, causing him to hiss and move them so that they were resting over his chin.

The hiss hadn't gone un-noticed. "Did you hear that?" Matt asked, looking up. Tai played along. "Hear what? You're crazy." He commented, continuing to eat. Matt frowned. "..Right. I'll be back in a minute, I gotta go get some drinks." He said, before getting up and walking to the trunk of the van. He opened it and acted like he was getting drinks out, but was actually getting their hunting equipment together.

Takeru took the bait, and lunged at Tai, tackling him and trying to get to his neck. He did (all too easily, but this didn't occur to him) and bit. It wasn't long until dizziness and a sense of numb took over, his eyes downcast. Tai grabbed him and looked around for the steel rope. He found it, and tied Takeru up to the tree. "Matt! We have a live one! It's..uh…kinda short.." he trailed off, shaking his head as Matt appeared. Matt raised an eyebrow. The kid was itchingly familiar, but he couldn't figure it out. The young vampire's eyes slid open, bloodshot from the sudden shock of mixed blood. "Wh..what're..you…what're you gonna…" he trailed off, his eyes slipping closed again. He squinted, before reopening them and giving Tai a sharp look. "Wha..wuzzat for?" he asked, frowning.

Matt crossed his arms. "For being a vampire. You're evil, so we're going to kill you." He said, all the sensitivity of a blunt axe twisted into his tone. The vampire looked up, and went speechless for a few seconds. Evident panic raced through his mind, but not for the reason Matt thought…well, not completely anyways. Takeru used the misunderstanding. "No! I don't wanna die! Lemme go, I have a pollywog to take care of and my stuff is all by itself and it'll get stolen and I'M JUST A KID YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT JUST DON'T KILL ME!" he screeched, struggling frantically at the rope. He had to get away from Matt, before he was recognized, and before he was killed.

Matt sighed, handing a stake to Tai. "Shut the kid up." He grunted, before turning and walking back towards the truck. He paused halfway there when Tai did nothing. "Hey Matt, doesn't this kid look kinda familiar to you? He looks kinda like..--" "LET ME GO NOOWW DAMNIT!" Takeru yelled, struggling ceased and eyes burning. Tai blinked and turned back. "Why? You'll just go back to killing innocent people." He said mildly. "I..uh..I can help you! I know where a prime organization is! A base! It's a hideout for the ruler of the vampiric race.." he trailed off. Oops. In his franticness, he'd given away something he'd sworn not to; traitor or not, it was a serious crime, punishable by far worse than death. Torture for eternity, cause they had that long to do it.

Tai looked interested. "Really? Well, I suppose we could keep you locked--" "No. You aren't going to start anything; stake him and let's get the hell out of here, he's lying." Matt said, reappearing once again at Tai's side. "But what if he's telling the truth? He could really help us, Matt. If we get rid of the leader then it'll be easier for us to get rid of the rest of them." Tai said, turning to Matt and frowning. "Besides," he added, "if he's lying, we can always just kill him when we find out." He said as he crossed his arms.

"….Fine. But you're taking care of him." Matt grumbled, turning around. "I can't. Kari, remember?" he asked, looking back at the vampire. It suddenly looked terrified at the idea of living with Matt, which Tai found hilarious. Couldn't figure out why, really, but he did. "FINE! But you're helping. We still have to hunt, by the way. I don't care if we have to drag him along—which he'll stay in the TRUNK because he might give us away.." he growled, looking in Takeru's direction. Takeru winced.

"Well, then it's settled. He'll stay at your house, I'll come over and keep him from eating you every now and then, and we can still hunt. Perfect." Tai said, yawning. Plus, if this kid's who I think he is…God Matt, do you even remember? Tai wondered, looking over at his best friend. He shook his head, before untying Takeru and dragging him over to the truck. After squishing the kid into the impossibly small space between him and Matt, Tai sat down in the seat and slammed the door. Off they went, possibly starting one of the best mistakes in their lives.
