The King of Vampires: A Magatsuhi Clan Story

By Shagami Magatsuhi

When you hear the King of Vampire's you probably think of Dracula, but Dracula is a work of fiction, Vampires are not Fiction though. They are very real.

Shagami: The God of Death, You know him well, and Arami, his younger brother, but nothing else, not much is known about the Magatsuhi vampire Clan. Their family is large a wide. There are Jor, Jade, and May. Did you know that Jor is Shagami's Father? Or that May is his older sister? And that Jade is his mother?

Jade is the mother of May, Shagami, and Arami. Jade has a long history; she is a princess from a different planet. She is ½ sayjian, ½ Moonian. She exiled herself after she fell in love with Jor. Her family didn't like her to marry a vampire. They wanted her to marry a nice sayjian named Zack; but it didn't go to well, Her family says Jor had cast a demonic spell on her to make her fall in love with him. When May was born, Jade's family wanted her, to replace the daughter they had lost, But Jade told him no and they haven't seen any of them since.

When Shagami was born, he was born with the family birthmark, a crescent moon on the forehead. Jade's family fought for the right to at lease raise him, as a Prince, but again she said no, Shagami deserved the right to grow up as a human child with a normal life, little did she know that her wish would not come true. A couple years after that when Shagami was about 1 ½ Arami was born, Shagami took care Arami very well.

Jor's family is a little bit more difficult to explain. Jor is the youngest of seven vampire children. His older brother, Jake, is the oldest of then all, is next in line for the title of the Prince of Vampires, because Jor's father was soon to become the king of Vampires. Then Reaper: the God of all nightmarish creatures and of Death and Chaos and other things that are unmentionable, didn't like that the Magatsuhi Clan was getting so powerful. So he killed almost everyone of the Magatsuhi Clan. Jor and some other Magatsuhi Clan members barely survived, as punishment, he placed a curse on Jor's oldest son, Shagami, that when Shagami reaches 13 he will become the God of Death. Jor knowing he didn't want to subject Shagami to that horror, he decided to kill him. A few days before Shagami was to become 13, he slowly walked to Shagami's room, holding a very large butcher's knife, Arami and Jade where asleep, he just sharpen it, the edge, shiny and deadly. He slowly opened the door to Shagami's room and walked in. He turned around, closing the door the same way. He walked to the edge of Shagami's bed, he pulled back the bed sheets on his bed, and Shagami was sleeping on his back, his night shirt open, showing his neck, his most important artery showing, blood pulsing within. Jor took a deep breath as he slowly lowering the knife to Shagami's pale skin. He pressed the cold blade to his son's skin; Shagami stirred a little bit, the coldness of the blade. Jor though back a bit, he never told Jade of the curse that lay upon Shagami's life. She would freak out because of it. Jor didn't want to put her thought that pain of knowing that once Shagami becomes a teenager, he'll kill everyone in his family and anyone that Reaper wants dead as well. Jor then pressed upon the blade more as Shagami's blood poured onto the blade, Shagami's eyes flew open, as he saw his father, knife in hand, trying to kill him, Shagami's face when white as he fainted, Jor couldn't do it, he couldn't kill his own flesh and blood. He threw the knife onto the floor as he picked up the unconscious boy. Blood still pour from the wound as Jor hugged Shagami; Jor licked the blood as it poured from his neck, tasting Shagami's sweet blood. Jor fully placed his mouth on the wound, the blood pouring into his mouth, Arami then walked in, about this time he always got up to go to the bathroom, then get in bed with Shagami. Arami yelled waking up everyone, Jade ran in as she saw Jor's mouth covered in Shagami's blood, She covered Arami's eyes as she turn him around and back into his room. "Jor! What are you doing?" she said, Shagami laid there dazed, Jade started to scream at Jor, "Mommy," he said. "Its ok...daddy is just protecting me... That's ok in my book." He said. He smiled weakly, his blue eye sparkled, and he tried getting up. "Shagami, what do you mean, Jor? What is he talking about? Jor?" Jade said she looked at Jor, his face downcast. He then turned his face to her, he was crying, his didn't want her to find out about Shagami's curse, He didn't even know how Shagami even knew his curse, he never told him either.

"Jade, You know then Us, The Magatsuhi Clan, where being killed by Reaper? Well because I got away, he punished me by putting a curse on Shagami, that curse is that, on Shagami's 13th birthday, he will become that God of Death, and kill any remaining Magatsuhi Clan vampires, and Shagami turns 13 in a couple days, and I didn't want him to live with that curse, so I wanted to kill Shagami go he would be free." Jor said. Jade turned her face down; she saw Shagami's face, knowing now what they just told each other. Shagami looked at his parents. "Mom, Dad, I know that this curse is apart of my destiny, I know that I'll kill you all in a couple days, But I love you anyway." He said, smiling a weak smile. Blood still dripped from the wound Jor had made; Shagami placed his fingers to the wound. He knew what had happened, but he didn't care. Shagami was standing up, wobbly, he started to walk toward the closet, Jade and Jor watched quietly, he opened the door and pulled out his coat. "Shagami, what are you doing?" Jade asked quietly, "I'm leaving, so you guys and get away somewhere I can't find you and kill you, I don't want to hurt my family, I love you guys too much!" he said tears rolling down his cheeks, he pulled down a suitcase, then walked to his dresser, he pulled out his clothes and a few other things he would need, after his suitcase was packed he grabbed his backpack for school and dumped all his text books out and placed his drawing supplies inside, he then grabbed a couple very large hardback books about 700-800 pages long, and placed them inside as well. He looked up at his parents "Mom, Dad please run get out of here and don't tell me or anyone else where you are going, take Arami and May with you, and hid till Reaper has no more control on me, and please always remember I will always love you. Now I'm leaving, I'm going far, far way, to Japan, I have only a couple days till Reaper has full control of me, I must leave tonight," he said as he put on his backpack and picked up his suitcase, he walked slowly out o the door, his mother stopped him, "Shagami if you are going to Japan, then you will need money to get there," she said as she gave him about $500 dollars in cash, mostly 20's, and two $50's and one $100, she then kissed him on the cheek, "Please be careful my son, someway someday, we'll be a family again, and I hope that it is soon," She said, giving him one last hug, he just nodded and walked out, Arami was peeking through the door, Shagami flashed a smile to him and turned, hopefully, Jade and Jor will explain it to him and May later on a plane to somewhere he couldn't find them, that he was going to kill them.
