Blood...

The thing that connects us all. The thing that separates us.

The thing that gives us life. The thing that can cause our death. Two sides. Good and Bad.

Like vampires.

Kaname sighed at the scene before him. Ash lay scattered all over the marble floor. Blood was splattered everywhere."She must have put up quite a fight..." Kaname said quietly.

The room was once more filled with silence.

Vampires...

A quiet sob broke the deathly quiet.

They wear masks of beauty. Hide their fangs...

Kaname glanced around, trying to locate the sound. The door to a small broom cupboard lay slightly agar.

They whisper sweet words in your ear, before they snap your neck...

Kaname walked over to the cupboard. Another sob.

Dark angels...Heavenly beasts...

He pulled the door open slowly.

Eitherway...All that matters to them...

A young girl, no more than 12 years old was curled up in a ball at the back of the closet. She stared at Kaname with terrified, frenzied eyes. Her face was covered in blood.

"Hello." Kaname greeted softly."Are you alright?"

The only thing that they need...That they kill for...

The girl shook her head."Mother...Mother..." She whispered."He killed...he...killed...Mother!"

She stared at Kaname."Why?" She whispered. Kaname sighed."Because we vampires are not all good. Some of us are bad. Some of us hurt others." He said gently."If you would like to come with me, I can explain properly." He held out his hand. The girl took it hesitantly.

"My name is Kuran Kaname." He said."And what is your name?"

Is blood.

"My names Rikari Mikiko." Mikiko said. She followed Kaname to the door. She didn't look back. Her mother wasn't there anymore. All that was left was ash and blood.

She stepped outside her home with Kaname. Mikiko gazed up at the night sky."Goodbye mother." She whispered."I hope your alright now."

A car drove up to the house. Ichijo stepped out. He looked at the girl, her face stained with tears and blood.

"Rikari-sama?" He asked. Kaname sighed."She is...gone." He answered sadly. Mikiko hung her head.

"Gone." She murmured."All thats left is...is..."

Blood.
