CAHPTER ONE: ENTER THE KILLER

It was a beautiful sunny day in the quaint town of Hinata, well quaint as it can be around this place. The sky was clear and blue but as is the norm here the faint image of Keitaro Urashima can be seen sailing through the sky away fom the Hinata apartments.

One must wonder what the young manager of the all girls dorm did this time to be sent into LEO, without a doubt it was probably his own clumsiness and bad luck, but that is not the focus of our tale. No our story focuses on one of the residents of the Hinata, one Shinobu Maehara, she is the resident cook here and one hell of a cook at that, as is quite common for her she is quite worried about poor Keitaro, being that he's been sent skyward once again by Naru Narusegawa for triping and falling into her.

Shinobu wishes her sempai Keitaro wasn't treated so harshley by the others like he is but she is far to scared to realy speak up about it.

In any case though she hopes Keitaro isn't badly hurt, even though most at the Hinata see him as immortal she goes about her daily routine.

Later on after dinner has come and gone Shinbou decides to talk a little walk into town.

She decides to stop at a book store and pick up a book she had meaning to get. As she leaves the store she passes by an ally, when suddenly a pair of hands reaches out and grabs her covering her mouth to prevent any screaming and drags herin to the dark alley.

Shinobu can't get a good lok at her attackers face because of the shadows but can tell by his grip that he is very strong. Her attacker begins to lick her throat and grope her while telling her that he intends to rape and kill her, Shinobu is scared for her life as she prays to be saved, suddnely she fells the attacker tearing at her dress trying to get it off.

She then feels something sharp at her throat she closesher eyes as she cries, her attacker just laughs enjoying her suffering and tells her "Don't worry baby youll feel real good soon I promise".Suddenly as he raises his hand to rip her dress all the way off a dagger flies out of nowhere striking him in the hand the attacker whinces in pain and turns around to see where the dagger came from.

Out of the shadows steps a young man probably no more than 17, he is fairly tall with short bloned hair and pale blue eyes, he is wearing a rather odd outfit black boots and pants with an arcahic sleevlessovercoat, but this is not what truly stands out. What stands out is the metal gauntlet on his left hand and the whip he's holding in his right.

"Who the fuck are you you little twit?" the man speaks as he tosses Shinobu to the wall, "Interuppting my fun like that". The young man smirked,"Me oh I'm just the person whose going too kill you...VAMPIRE SCUM!"

With speed she had only seen from Motoko, Shinobu watched as theyoung man ran at her attacker striking him with the whip 3 times striking the ground sending him in the air in a small geyser of energy rising after him with the whip striking him again then bring the whip down on the attacker once more driving him to the ground and sending a wave of enrgy down the alley.

Just as quickly the man slams his fist into the ground shouting" CROSS BLAZER", energy risees from the ground in the shape of a cross around him once it has dissipated Shinobu is shocked to see her attackers body crumble into a pile of dust and be carried away on the wind.

The young man puts his whip back on his belt," Man the vampires in Japan are pretty weak I've never had a kill that easy.", he says. Then he realises that he should be seeing to the girl the vampire had.

He turns to see her crying with her hands around her knees," Are you okay miss ?"he says" I'm here to help, you don't have to be scared that monster won't hurt you or anyone ever again." he says in a calm an reasuring voice." Oh man he really tore your clothes up didn't he, here wear my coat." he says while handing it to her" can't let you walk around like that now can we. "

Shinobu putshis coat on and thanks him, she now gets a good look at him, he is very attractive she can't help but stare at him. "Something wrong your staring at meI know foreigners aren't to commonly seen here and all", but before he could continue Shinobu blushes a deep red and apologizes.

" Auuu I'm so sorry for stareing at you thank you for saving me." " No problem just doing my job." he says." What do you mean your job?" Shinobu asks him,"Well this may be hard for you to believe butt keep an open mind considering what you just saw...I am a Vampire Hunter and the man who attacked you was a vampire."

Shinobu didn't want to believe him but she had seen some strange things since coming to the Hinata apartments so she was inclined to take his word.

"I must thank you again for saving me but I have no way of repaying you"," There's no need to repay me I'm just glad your all right." he said with a smile that made Shinobu feel much better.

"Listen the streets aren't safe at this time of night so why don't I escort you home you'll be quite safe with me I promise.", Shinobu blushed slightley and nodded yes. They left the alley and the young man picked up his duffle bag at the entrance of the alley," Well lead the way miss,ummm what's your name anyway if I may ask."

"My name is Shinobu, Shinobu Maehara." she said. "It is a pleasure to meet you Shinobu my name is Gabriel, Gabriel Belmont." he says with a formal bow, "Likewise." says Shinobu, As they walk Gabriel can't help but think how pretty Shinobu is ( whoa Gabe don't be thinking about how cute she is and focus on getting her home safely ). Soon they arive at a large set of steps, "So you live all the way at the top of that stairway huh you must get pretty good execise."he jokes causing Shinobu to giggle, "Yes I suppose so." she says soon the reach the top revealing a large aprtment building.

It is old but quite beautiful," Wow this is your home nice." Gabriel says, "Yes welcome to the Hinata apartments." she says." Wait did you say the Hinata,I was looking for this place." he said." Really why?"asks Shinobu. "Well I have a letter for the manager from Hina Urashima." he said. "A letter for Keitaro.", Shinobu says "Well I can introduce you to him.", "Really thanks I'd appreciate it." " It's no trouble at all it's the least I can do for saving me." she says.

As they enter the door Kitsune is there to meet them. "Where have you been Shinobu we were all worried about you." she says then notices Gabriel next to her.

"Well and who might you be Shinobu's secret boyfriend." she says causing them both to blush.

" Who 's at the door Kitsune?" a voice calls from upstairs," It's Shinobu." "Shinobu." the voice says in a relived tone as a young woman with long brown hair comes downstairs but as soon as she gets there and sees Gabriel with Shinobu she gives Gabriel a very unhappy look, "And who are you? Don't you know this is an all girls dorm." she asks. "Well no I didn't you see I was just escorting her home you see", but before he could finish the young woman interrupts" Don't give me any excuses you probably tricked her into bringing you here so you could peek at us. "

"No that's not it at all."," Naru who is this?" asks a young woman with long black hair wearing a gi and hakama." He's a pervert Motoko who ticked Shinobu into bringing him here so he could peek on us." says Naru. "What, then he shall taste my blade prepare to die vile lecherous male!"

Motoko slashes at Gabriel with her sword luckily he manages to push Shinobu out of harms way and dodge the attack, "What are you crazy or something im not a pervert!" " Don't lie all men are perverts at heart now stand still and take yourpunishment, Secret Technique Air Spliting Sword!", suddenly a wave of energy comes racing toward Gabriel who puts his gauntlet up to block the attack.

It hits him dead on, Motoko sheaths her sword "Well serves that pervert right.", then she saw Gabriel come out of the dust cluod the attack caused looking very angry and brandishing his whip. "Nice try but youll have to do better than that to beat me." he said, "No way he blocked my attack." Motoko says." How did you do that?" she asks," If you want to know." he says "BEAT ME! "

He lashes out with his whip grabing her by the leg causeing her to fall with a thud, "How dare you!" Naru yells as she winds up to deliver her famous Naru Punch but as she goes to punch him he simpley blocks her punch with his gauntlet causing quit a bit if pain as she cradles her hand. "Now listen here you two you had better stop attacking me before I 'm forced to hurt you and trust me I can." he says.

" Whats going on here?" a voice says it is Haruka with Keitaro. "This guy here is a pervert and he attacked us Haruka." says Naru, "Is this true?" Keitaro asks to Gabriel, "No it is not they attacked me I was just defending myself." Gabriel says. "Listen I was just escorting Shinobu here home after I saved her from an attacker."

"Really is this true Shinobu?" Keitaro asks, "Yes it is." she says "He saved me, my attacker was going to rape and kill me and he would have if Gabriel had not stopped him." she said as she began to cry. "Don't worry Shinobu.", Keitaro says" Your safe now, thank you for saving Shinobu." " Like I told her earlier it's my job, I'm also here to give a letter to the manager."

"Well I'm the manager." Keitaro says, "Your kidding right?" says Gabriel "Your the manager of an all girls dorm?" " It's kind of a long story." says Keitaro as he reads the letter. "Hey everyone it's from grandma Hina she's says hello and that she is doing well and hopes we are as well, and that she wants me to let Gabriel stay here while he is living in Japan." Everyone was quite suprised including Gabriel, "Well that was what she meant when she said she could help with finding a residence." Gabriel says. "Well Gabriel." says Keitaro "Welcome to the Hinata."
