Pairings: Battousai/Kenshin/Kaoru Sano/Megumi Yahiko/Tsubame

And others will be told through out the story as it continues.

Chapter One:

He was known as the Battousai in the days of old. With Molten gold eyes to scare his opponents. And whispers of his god like speed to keep almost any man left as a statue when they came upon this man. A cross like scar across his left cheek. He was called a god because it seems nothing could beat this man. There was nothing that could kill him, so everyone thought…..

She was his world. The only one who was able to control him with just a touch or word. Her name was Kaoru. Kaoru was the Battousais` to call, kiss, posses and to tame. The whole world was there's to take. In there world many words describe what they are to each other. Partners, lovers, friends, soul mates, blood mates. What they really are is just mates.

In the world that these two live in is complicated. Nothing is what it seems…in this world the undead live among us and walk among us. For get everything you have been told about stories on vampires. Not all of them are true. Vampires can walk in the daylight among us. To live they have to drink the blood of the living animals or humans. But as all the stories have told you it can be cased so it does not have to be straight out of the body. Crosses do not work unless the person trying to use it is a true believer in the fait. Sunlight as I told you does not work....holy water works.

Battousai and Kaoru`s fait was written in the stars before they were even born. The only thing they didn't know was where there life's journey would take them in the future. These are two star crossed lovers. Destined to be together for the rest of there lives after there meeting each other. And only there death would prolong this event for so long. Nothing would keep them from being with each other. But only time would tell how the struggle of these two came to be.

This is a story of hundred years old. This tall has surpassed the times of war and change. Scriptures have been moved from place to place. This is a history of were the world of vampires was forever changed. And only us of are brothers and sisters know the story now. Many humans do not know this tell. Only some of the old churches that use to kill us. Damn us for being different. Only the chosen vampires such as I know the truth. And it is I who has the scriptures to take care of and protect. I am the one to protect all of our secrets from now on. That is why I believe you should know our history. Where we came from. My history and where I came from. For I am the only one who will be able to write it and to tell it. Because who would no the story better than the one who went through it. The one who wrote the diaries that are now scriptures. Because my name is Kaoru Himura.

TO TAME THE BEAST

Chapter Two:

We have always been around. My kind is always in the shadows watching. Through the years the humans, your kind have wrote stories about us. Truly I always love to read how the male seduces the female into his arms and makes her his. The Dracula stories I always thought was funny to a point. Because however you did a story on him you were close to one fact about us. We do have rulers, or should we say rank...but let me tell you us females are not like the humans. We take pride in our body. And to the fact we have no souls is a lie. We have them, its just weather we use them or not

It was always the same for me. Night after night I go and drink the blood of the living people in our fair city. New York was the place to be for blood, parties, drinks and sex. I like the whole part of parties though. I would take a mortal out on a date then drink his blood after. It was better than having to hunt night after night. Plus I like fresh blood more than I do the cased. Blood id blood yes I know. But they just have different taste to me. That will not really make sense to you humans. Some other vampires will know what I'm talking about and agree with me.

I always wanted to taste the blood of people. Ever since I was a little girl. I was borne into the new world. The world of computers and television. I think it was around my 16th birthday I finally figured out what this craving was. The hunger was with me where ever I went. When I was six years old my best friend cut her finger, when I say the blood I tried to drink her blood. I would have to if the teacher hadn't pulled me off of her. It scared me and most of the students I was going to school with. After that the family I was staying with started to send me to another school for vampires. We were supposed to learn to tame our hunger the different power between male and female. The way we pick mates and the way we should act, etc…..

The males are stronger by nature human or not. He has the speed and intelligence to come by naturally. Humans have to learn and tone things to become smart. But most male and female vampires are born with it. It's sort of like 6th senesce. It comes in handy sometimes. If you're the males that it. The females have hell with it. Especially when she has a mate. The senses they have increase 10 fold. And makes it harder for us to do anything. They always know where we are and if we have had another male around or hanging on us. I think it is funny because they can even tell if they had been aroused. The first couple weeks before and after there the mating ritual is hell for females because the temper on there males goes up and is more easily set off. That means another male can just stand by you and piss him off. It's better you us females stay at home. I really can't say who it is better for though. Females get more careless and fun free. We want to be rebellious against the males. They want to tame us, we of course want them to but we always have to give them a good run for there money first,ne? But there always those rare cases where the female really does not want to give up her freedom. Sometimes when she does find a male to mate with he has to take it into his own hands and use his power to over rule her, and make her his. Through the years the male has been known as the protector and provider. So in the old days it was set that we the females followed and obeyed the males without asking questions. And she was his to command.

Through the times women have been empowered and in so doing this female's roll as being his to command has changed to. But only for the humans. We vampires still have to go by the rules. But the rules change a little every year, not by much. It's still change though. But not all males like the change and things stay the same.

I was the one who tried to run away from everything I knew. I ran from my home in LA. I went to NY City. Just people to kill when the thirst for blood became too much for me to bear. One night I though it would be cool to go to this party and have some fun. That was my first mistake. I was known to the vampires in LA because I was next in line to rule once my father died. I didn't think anyone in this place would take a second glance at me. But they did. Apparently everyone knew who I was and that I had run away. Got I wanted to ask if there was a wanted sign for me yet. I didn't care too much after a few drinks. I just wanted to have fun. Those females I told you about that are rebellious. That's right I am one of them. I was told I was going to have to have a mate I freaked and that's when I ran away. No way in hell is I going to have a man tell me what to do. I would rather burn on a cross in the sun. It would be much better. Until I saw those eyes of golden amber. What can is say, it was as if they were calling to me. I was hooked from just the eyes, hook line and sinker. I was pathetic in the eyes of other females just like me. But I felt it low in my gut. The twist, that first signals that I have found a male strong enough to dominate my spirit and soul.

I had to get out of there as fast as I could. So I did. As fast as my feet would carry me I was out of there. For some odd reason I still fill to this day everyone in the room felt it to. How could they not. I could hardly breathe when I was in that room, just looking into his eyes. While I was running I had this feeling that someone else was following me. I didn't think that he would follow me when I flew out of the room. I was in an alleyway. Everything was dark. God how I wish my friend Misao was with me right now. Maybe she would have a good idea. Before I could do anything I was flung up against the wall. I hit the wall with my back and the only thing I could tell was there was a fight going on. Soon I was haled up into strong arms. "It's ok missy …..Everything is going to be alright." When he started to walk off at that moment I knew when I had been slung up against the wall I had bruised or broke a rib. It hurt. I don't like feeling week. But I couldn't help the whimper that came out of my mouth. Before long the darkness took over me.
