Hello everyone here is the newest story that I have been working on for a while. I've been thinking about whether or not to post this now or later. Well I've made my choice enjoy. I changed the entire story up because well I didn't like the original Idea for it anymore;I'm using that for a different story. I hope no one gets too upset at me for that. Once again another AT fic only this time It takes place about twenty or thirty years ago.

Also, this one is a vamp fic. Don't worry it won't be another twilight because the vampires don't sparkle and aren't complete pansies in this fic. Believe me.

Note: Some of the characters might be written slightly out of character, I apologize.

Diamonds and daggers

Prologue

Eighteen one years ago

It seemed as if things for the town of Tokyo couldn't get any more normal and boring if it tried. Everything was as ordinary as ordinary could be. At least until one cold, rainy night when there was a woman running through the streets carrying what looked like a newborn baby wrapped in a blue blanket and cradled in a basket. Fast as she could she sprinted through the quiet town. Chasing after her were three assassins with intent to kill both her and the baby. She continued to run from the assassins through the town until she came across a temple. She placed the baby on the steps of the temple and knocked on the door. However she didn't shake the three assassins from her trail. They soon surrounded her she knew that running more wouldn't do anymore good. So she decides she would have to fight back to protect that newborn.

"If you want him, come and get him!" She exclaimed holding a long sharpened wooden stick. She then gestured them to make their move. As her fight with the three assassins raged on, the temple doors opened. Out came a group of monks. They saw the newborn child crying at the steps of their sacred home. Then their attention turned to the woman who was fighting for her life as well as this baby. The monks took the crying infant into the temple and knew what had to be done for it. The fight continued until the young woman was impaled with one of the assassin's swords.

"You were a fool to challenge us." The leader sneered. "Anyone who goes against us is bound to have that same fate. Your child will soon learn of this someday. Alas, today will not be that day. But soon, your bastard will learn of his fate, and it will be yours."

With that message, the three killers walked from the scene of the crime; leaving the young woman lifeless and blood all over the temple grounds and the walkway. Unfortunately they couldn't get to their real target but the wench they killed was just as well, at least for that time.

Twelve Years later (six years ago)

"Shuichi, get down from there!" One of the monks yelled at a pink haired boy. He was once again climbing on top of the highest tree in the yard; a tree that the monks treasured dearly and worked diligently to plant. Shuichi had a reckless streak that surpassed even that of his late mother. In fact, he was the type who had no regard for rules or structure.

"Shuichi, come down this instant! You have to train!" The monk yelled again.

"Make me!" he shouted back. After that he started to shake the tree causing the branches to swing every which way. Eventually Shuichi would be flying off the branch he was swinging on. Falling to his death, at least until his master catches him. Then after being caught Shuichi was given this harsh message from the old man.

"Your reckless behavior is not that of a slayer. Just for your insolence you will clean the tiles with a toothbrush!"

"Humph, yeah, Big deal!" Shuichi said. But his punishment would only get worse.

"I meant your toothbrush." The monk replied. Shuichi dropped to the floor in disbelief. He didn't' ask to be given to these strict monks nor did he ask to be a vampire slayer. Though he hasn't been called yet, he was the most likely to become the next vampire slayer. Many of the slayers before him were female only three were male including the current vampire slayer. For that, he was targeted by assassins as well as vampires.

As he scrubbed the floor with his only toothbrush, he began to wonder, why him. Why did he have to train so hard instead of playing with the other kids? Why did he have to be the potential slayer? Why him?

"When will they just accept that I can't be a slayer? I know that I'm not worthy to be one. Why don't they understand? I never wanted to be a vampire slayer, and I won't be!" Shuichi knew he wasn't meant to be a slayer so he did the only thing that he could do. He packed his things and then prepared to take off.

"Why do those monks need me? They already have a slayer, Mr. Sakuma, so why am I so important to them?"

As the pre- teen left the temple, Shuichi then began to hear some peculiar noises form a distance. At first he didn't think anything of it and continued to roam the streets of Kyoto. He did have some training for dealing with vampires but he hoped that he wouldn't have to apply any of it.

Then that same noise appeared again. Only this time it was louder and it was coming form an alley about five blocks away. Shuichi rushed to the aid of whoever was in trouble. He didn't know it but he was walking into a world of danger. There he met another kid that was being attacked by one of the creatures he was trained to slay, a vampire.

"Get away from me!" The kid said. "I'm too young to be undead!" something about this particular vampire seemed very strange. It was broad daylight and yet he wasn't bursting into flames or turning into dust like most other vampires should. Something the monks neglected to tell Shuichi was that some of these creatures of the night can come out in daylight and are just as powerful in daylight as they are at night; although there are extremely few vampires that can. Backed into a corner, it looked like it was over for the other boy, until the vampire caught a glimpse of a certain Strawberry haired child.

What am I supposed to do? Shuichi thought to himself. He knew he would have to face vampires someday, he just never thought it would be this day. One of those nasty creatures turned to him and slowly made there way to the pink haired, soon-to-be vampire slayer.

"You look like you'll be a very tasty treat." One said. This vampire had short black hair and was dressed in a casual-fancy suit. He looked to be a bit older than Shuichi. The pre-teen searched through the bags he packed and found something that perhaps wouldn't kill this vampire but would at least stall him while he helped the other kid escape. He reached far for something until finally he found a cross.

"I really hope this works." He said. Still lacking the training and knowledge that he abandoned, it would be a miracle if Shuichi manage to stall this vampire, after all, he was one of the most powerful that existed.

Well, there's the first chapter everyone, Sorry it was so short and I hope you guys aren't too mad about my plot change. Tell me what you think and I'll see you whenever I see you.
