A/N: Hello and welcome to this new story. This is my first take on the Vampire Bund series, one that I've wanted to do for awhile now since I got into the anime and Manga. I was actually up all night reading all 82 chapters of the original, the side stories and the sequel to write this story. For reference, it takes place after the three clans visit the Bund for the first time. If i Had to say exactly when, it would be after Dive into the Vampire Bund's second Volume. It's a bit of an AU as most of the characters that will appear actually show up much later in the manga. As such you can consider it a different timeline all together with similar events...it's a little confusing but bare with me for a bit. This chapter may be hastily written, but it was actually rewritten a couple times. I actually wrote this nine months ago, but I recently started working on a second and third chapter, thus leading me to read the entire series, watch the anime and venture into the very little fanfiction written for the fandom. I might post the next chapter soon, but I am really busy working on a few other things, so don't hate me if you don't see another chapter for a long time.

Fall into the Vampire Bund

Chapter 1

Children of the Night

It hadn't been easy, not since the world found out about the existence of vampires. Everyone thought it was just a joke at first, but then everyone rapidly grew aware of their existence. No longer was it a joke, no longer was a myth. They were real, and they were frightening. But even then, she assured everyone that her children wouldn't hurt the humans, so long as we viewed them as neighbors. Princess Mina Tepes, the ruler of the night. Even now that name strikes fear into me, but for the wrong reasons. You see, everyone has their own story, just like she had hers, I have my own. Mina Tepes was the kindest soul among all the vampires, taking on the responsibilities that no one else would. She cared deeply about her children and would do anything in her power to make sure they were happy and healthy. I have the supreme honor of calling her a friend.

But as I stated before, every person has their own story, and I suppose I have to tell you mine. It starts like every other generic one, I suppose, except I wasn't always the person I am today. Before I became a child of the night, I was just a regular human boy. I don't regret ever turning into the creature I am today, but I have to admit, it is rather hard at times. Everyone is the hero of their story, so I suppose I should start mine from the beginning.

This is my story, of how I went through hell and back, to save the one person that actually gave me a purpose in life. This is the story of how a brother banded together with vampires to help his little sister come back from the brink of hell, and return to the world of the day, while he remained in the land of darkness.

"Oi Kiba, are you gonna show up to classes this afternoon, or are you gonna blow them off for the arcade again?"

The teen in question looked at his friend, shrugging his shoulders. He was a young man of sixteen, with short black hair, that reached down to the nape of his neck. He had messy bangs that partially covered his eyes, which were a bright green color. He had a sun kissed complexion, a soft face with a sharp jaw line. He stood at five foot nine in height, and was wearing a bright red tee shirt, underneath a black blazer, which he left unbuttoned. He wore a pair of jeans, secured with a brown leather belt, and some white high top sneakers. This young man was named Kiba Kasuragi, and he was currently a freshman in high school. He smirked, looking at his friend.

"I might skip afternoon classes again, I mean I don't really need them. If I pass midterms then I'll be all set." he said firmly. His friend sighed, shaking his head.

"Honestly man, why bother coming to high school? It isn't even mandatory you know, just get a job somewhere."

"Eh, I might. The extra money could come in handy, and the economy is really good right now." he said, leaning against the wall.

"No doubt, thanks to that Vampire princess paying off our debt, the work in Japan has been really good. My dad got a promotion last week." he said.

"Heh, vampires...what a load of shit. I still can't believe they're real you know." he muttered dryly, looking at the stairwell in front of him. His friend chuckled, leaning back against the wall.

"Me either, who would have thought, the things that we read about actually turned out true? I hear that some of the weaknesses that authors write about are complete shit. Sunlight and a stake through the heart are their only weaknesses. They can walk through water and crosses don't do shit to them either, same with garlic."

"And how did you find that out?" Kiba asked, looking directly at his friend. He was the same age as him, sixteen, with messy brown hair and bright blue eyes. He was a bit shorter than he was, and had a darker complexion than he did, his being a dark tan. He was wearing a plain white tee shirt, his blazer being tied around his waist. He wore a pair of black slacks and formal shoes. He cracked open the window behind them and shoved his hand in his pants pocket, pulling out his pack of cigarettes. Kiba rolled his eyes. They were in the old building of the school, so almost no one passed by them, and those that did really didn't care about the smoke.

"I'm not gonna lie, but my neighbor's sister was turned a few days ago. I saw her boarding up her windows with cardboard and felt the urge to ask what was up, and she told me straight up. Her brother has to go to the blood bank to steal blood for her." he said, lighting his cigarette. He passed one to Kiba who graciously accepted it.

"So Hana is a vampire now? You do know what happens to those who don't go to the bund right? They get shot on sight, if seen of course...they're a danger to society."

"Man she isn't a danger. I know that it's illegal for them to be out of the bund and all, but she doesn't want to leave her family. Too bad she couldn't get the vaccine in time." he said, flicking his cigarette to rid himself of the ashes. Kiba took a long drag from his own, expelling a large cloud of smoke from his mouth.

"Well, there is one solution to that. Turn the rest of them, or rip her fangs out, either than that she's shit out of luck."

"Dude, do you know how painful it would be to just straight up rip your fangs out? Christ I can't even picture that."

"Thor come on, it's realistically the only option she has, that or join the bund. I hear they treat you really nicely over there. Damn tempted to join myself." Kiba said.

"Why's that? Tempted by the idea of eternal life? Or is it because you wanna bang the princess?" he asked. Kiba blew his smoke at him, causing the teen to cough loudly.

"Don't be an ass! The princess is clearly off limits, besides I think she has a thing for that servant that hangs around her, every television appearance she makes, he's right there next to her, pfft...probably getting it from her every night of the week." he said, tossing his cigarette out the open window.

"Still though, the temptation is there. Eternal life, you can do whatever you want for all eternity." Thor said, a far off look on his face.

"And how would you spend it? Wondering the streets of the bund for all eternity? Seems boring to me." Kiba said, crossing his arms.

"But you can be with whoever you want, no matter the age, because you never age at all. You can have a lot of fun you know." he said, giving the teen a wink. Kiba scoffed, turning away from him.

"You're sick, you know that!" he snapped. Thor rolled his eyes.

"I heard a rumor that an idol was brought there, what was her name again...Ruli?" he asked.

"I heard that too, she was part of some slave ring, worse yet I heard that there's a Vampire Children ring on this side of the city, they grab kids between the ages of nine and fourteen and turn them, just so that their buyers have some personal toys of their own. Really pisses me off." Kiba spat, the thought of being someone elses play thing, it really drove him mad. Thor wrapped his arm around Kiba's shoulder, making him look at him.

"Yeah, but that's beside the point. Ain't nothing you could do to stop those guys, I mean...I guess you could buy those children and set them free, doubt they'll come by cheap though. Come on, let's head to class, we can talk about this vampire shit later."

"Screw that, I'm going home, I don't got the patience to be here right now." he said, brushing the teen's arm off. He walked off, heading back toward the locker area. Thor looked at his watch, frowning a bit.

"It's still an hour before we get to go home, why not stick around?" he asked, only to get no response from his friend.

Kiba grabbed his things from his locker and stuffed them into his backpack, slinging it over his shoulder. He sighed to himself, heading toward the doors. He had been thinking about what Len said, and the temptation of being a vampire, it all seemed like a dream to him. To live eternally, never aging, facing each day with uncertainty. He shook those things off, the thought of having nothing to do for his entire life really turned the temptation off, besides he liked the sun to much.

He slowly made his way away from the high school, heading toward his home. Normally he would take the train, but it was only nine blocks, and he was alright with walking them.

"Kiba, what the hell are you doing?"

Kiba sighed stopping mid stride. He glanced over his shoulder, glaring at the person who had called out to him. It was a young man, two years older than him, with short black hair which was brushed to the side and slicked with gel. He had dark brown eyes, and a similar complexion to Kiba. He wore the same uniform as him, though his was in pristine condition. He wore a blue shirt underneath the black blazer, he was wearing a firmly pressed tie around his neck, with the school's emblem emblazoned on it. He was wearing a pair of long black slacks, held up with a black belt. He was also wearing polished oxford shoes, around his shoulder was his backpack, a light green single strap bag. This was his older brother Kyle, a senior in their high school. He shook his head, walking up next to his brother.

"You can't keep skipping school man, you know what mother said if she got another report right?" he asked.

"Yeah yeah, she was gonna send me back home to Puerto Rico with grandmother, like I give a shit. Anything is better than this." he said, once again resuming his walk. Kyle sighed and fell into pace with his brother, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Why are you following me? Aren't you a stickler for the rules?"

"Little brother I have classes off in the afternoon. I just happened to see you when I was making my way out of school. Where are you planning on going? You know we have to pick up Janelle from school." he said.

"Nelly can get home by herself. Christ she's fourteen, she'll be in high school with me next year, I can walk her home then." he said, crossing his arms.

"Normally, I wouldn't worry if she made her way home alone, but you know things aren't the same as they were last year. Especially with the Bund being so close to us." he said, glancing toward the nearby ocean. It was a bit hard to see, but the silhouettes of the tall sky scrapers on the Bund could be seen from where they stood.

"You scared about being turned?" Kiba teased, a smirk on his face. Kyle pulled his fist back, punching his brother hard on the shoulder, eliciting a cry of pain from him.

"I ain't scared of no blood sucker! I am scared of what they might do to you or Janelle, we're on our own here you know. Father is dead, and mother is always out on business...we have to take care of each other."

"Don't remind me. Man, I'm so freaking bored...I think I'll go to the arcade for a couple hours. See ya at home bro." he said, crossing the street, heading toward the nearby arcade. Kyle sighed, shaking his head. He himself didn't have anything to do, he might as well head to the Middle school and wait for his sister.

It had only been a few hours since he ditched school, but Kiba had already felt much better. Shooting a couple zombies and winning tickets at the arcade surely served to cheer him up, but all around him, everyone kept talking about vampires. No matter where he went, the topic couldn't be avoided, so he just decided it was time to leave. He walked outside, seeing it was already sundown, the nearby buildings were casting shadows all over the place, and the golden colors in the sky were turning into beautiful hues of blue and purple, as it got ready for the night. As he was making his way home, he felt his phone start vibrating, and he pulled it out of his pocket, checking the caller ID. He frowned, placing the phone to his ear.

"What's up?"

"Hey, is Janelle with you? I went to pick her up at school and she said she was gonna go to the arcade to hang out with you after her club ended its meeting." Kyle said, voice sounding frantic.

"No, she isn't with me. She never showed up, and I never got a text from her saying she would meet me there."

"Oh god, I knew something like this would happen. I should have waited for her."

"Jesus man, calm down. Have you tried calling her? That might work better than panicking." he said.

"I did, three times but she didn't answer. She always picks it up on the second ring, but this time she didn't pick it up."

"Alright, I'm gonna give her a call then. Just sit tight while I get home." Kiba said.

"Okay, be careful."

"I'm trained in Kendo remember?"

"You don't have your Shinai on you, so don't even talk about how well you can handle yourself...just call her already." Kyle snapped, ending the call. Kiba smirked, reaching into his backpack. He felt the felt handle of his practice Tanto, relief washing over him.

"I always carry something with me, just in case. Anyway, let's call the sister and see where she is." he said, selecting his sister's number from his contacts. He pressed the green button, holding it to his ear. He stopped at a street corner, glancing at the crosswalk and waiting for it change to the walking sign. His phone stopped ringing and he glanced at the screen, seeing the call had connected.

"Nelly? Is that you? Where are you?" he said firmly. He heard shuffling on the other end of the line, before a soft voice replied.

"Big brother...I need help...these men...they chased me when I was walking to the arcade. I'm hiding in a dumpster." she said. His eyes widened a bit in shock.

"Where are you? Are you close to the arcade? I just left." he said.

"Do you know where that book store is? I'm in the alley, the big dumpster filled with donations. Please..hurry...I think they're Vam..."

The call suddenly dropped. He glanced at the screen, seeing the call had been dropped. He quickened redialed the number, but it didn't connect. He grit his teeth and broke into a sprint, not caring that the light hadn't changed yet. He quickly called his brother, placing his phone to his ear.

"Kyle, bad news man. Some guys were chasing her, she's at the book store!"

"I know, I just remember that her phone has a tracking device on it for emergencies, I'm headed there now." Kyle said, panting a bit as he ran. Kiba hung up his phone, more focused on running than anything. Quickly crossing the street, he made his way to the book store his sister had mentioned. Before he entered the alley, he reached for his bag, pulling out his Tanto. His sister had mentioned Vampires, or at least she was going to before the call was dropped. His blade was made of wood, perfect to stake one of the fuckers if they came close. He walked into the dark alley, now that the sun was done, the last rays of light left didn't make it into the alley. All around him, visible signs of battle could be seen, the building next to him had cracked bricks, there was an air conditioner on the ground, but the worst thing he saw was the overturned donation box. He walked toward it, licking his lips.

"Nelly...are you in there?" he asked, brushing a few articles of clothing aside. He noticed a pile of gray sand on the ground and ran his finger through it, eyes widening a bit.

"Ashes...she was right, Vampires did this." he muttered. He felt someone behind him and quickly stood up, grabbing the person by the neck holding his Tanto above their heart.

"Whoa man, chill out...it's me!" Kyle cried. Kiba grit his teeth, letting go of his brother.

"You got some fucking nerve asshole! Next time say something!" he said. He noticed his brother was carrying his Shinai with him along with the Bokken his mother had given him the last time she had been in town.

"I just wanted to be ready, but clearly you are more than capable." Kyle said, handing him the bokken, while keeping the Shinai. Kiba placed his tanto back in his pack, turning to the pile of ash on the ground.

"She's not here, she was kidnapped by Vampires." he said.

"What...you can't be serious?" Kyle said, thinking it was a joke. Kiba kicked aside several articles of clothing, finding a bloody piece of wood and his sister's pink cell phone, which was laying on the ground, flashing with several missed calls on it. He grabbed both from the floor, looking at the stake closely.

"She killed one of them, meaning whoever was after her, took her as revenge for the fallen one. We have to find her, before something bad happens." he said, dropping the stake to the ground. He slipped his bokken through his belt loop, while looking through his sister's phone.

"How the hell are we supposed to do that? She could be anywhere." Kyle said. Kiba was about to say something when they heard something move behind them. They saw what looked like a teenage boy, stumbling around, clutching his wounded stomach. He looked up at the two, eyes widening. Kiba grabbed the stake from the ground and jumped at him, just as the teen was trying to get into the street. He pressed him against the wall, holding the stake to his neck.

"Where is she?" he asked.

"I don't know what you are talking about man, I was just turned...I didn't do anything." he said. Kiba pressed the tip of the stake into his neck, causing a bit of blood to start dripping from it.

"I'm not going to ask again, where is she?" he asked, holding Nelly's phone, with her picture for the man to see.

Janelle was a beautiful young girl, with lightly colored skin and long flowing brown hair that reached down to her waist. She had bright hazel colored eyes, a soft face and full lips. She was wearing a tank top in the picture, which showed quite a bit of her well endowed chest. She was also wearing a bright pink skirt, with a white belt around her waist. She had shot the picture from above her, she had a bright smile on her face as she took the picture. The man swallowed hard, a grin making its way onto his face.

"Oh, that girl...she killed one of our friends, so we took her with us. She should be half way to the bund by now. The little bitch gave me this nasty wound. Is she your girl? Sad to say buddy but after tonight, that thatch between her legs will be unrecognizable!" he said, licking his fangs. Kiba grit his teeth slamming the stake straight into the man's chest. He howled in pain, his body glowing a brilliant.

"For the glory of the Princess!" he shouted, just before he fully turned to ash.

"Oh god, she was taken to the bund...I knew I should have gone with her, damn it!" Kyle said, slamming his fist against the wall behind him. Kiba grit his teeth, grabbing him by his blazer.

"Calm the fuck down. She was taken, sure but we have the information we need! We need to go to the bund and look for her there, I doubt she was turned into one of them, they most likely took her to their master so that he could do it. If we go now, we'll make it." Kiba said, turning to leave.

"Dude, how are we gonna get in? That place is tighter than a gay politicians ass, we will never make it past security." Kyle said. Kiba sighed, shaking his head.

"You have to think straight dumb ass. We need to see the princess, however we don't have any options, other than turning into vampires ourselves, and frankly I don't want that to happen to us. I do have an idea though, remember that school that was on the news a few weeks ago? The one that was built by Mina Tepes?" he asked.

"Yeah, what about it?" Kyle asked.

"Dumbass, that school was built by the Queen of the Vampires, meaning that it has a direct connection to the bund, probably through an underground tunnel system. Her palace must be connected straight to it, so all we need to do, is get into that tunnel."

"Are you insane? Are you proposing that we break into that school so that we can get into the bund? Are you nuts?" Kyle asked.

"Well I don't see you coming up with any other ideas shit head! You need stop being a wuss and fucking do something. Our sister is missing, and we have the chance to get her back, so do it for her, you twit!" he snapped, walking out of the alleyway. It had already gotten dark, which would make it a little easier on them. He glanced at the clock on his phone, seeing that it was slightly past six in the afternoon.

"Alright, where was that academy again?" Kiba muttered to himself. He hummed to himself, lost in thought. He glanced at the faraway Vampire Bund. He noticed Kyle standing next to him, a firm look on his face.

"That academy is this way, don't you remember we had a basketball game against them a couple weeks back." he said.

"Oh right, I totally forgot about that. Lead the way then." he said, earning a nod from his brother.

Kiba had to admit, he was a bit nervous. His sister was in danger, and they were virtually stepping into the snake pit. His brother, while older, was a bit of a wuss in his opinion. He could be stern when he wanted to be, but he never stepped up to the plate when it was important. He realized that if Janelle was to be brought back, he would have to make sure his brother didn't hesitate. It took them around half an hour to reach the academy that was owned by the Vampire Queen. They scoped it out for a few minutes, finally making their way toward the front entrance.

Kiba had to admit, it was a pretty nice place. It had a rather large courtyard, and an equally long entree-way, with a large fountain right in the middle. Thin trees were planted on either side of the fountain, giving it a bit of greenery. The building itself was around four stories tall, made out of limestone colored bricks. It had large wide windows, which were made with polarized glass. The building looked more like an orphanage than a school. Kiba really didn't know how to feel about that.

"Okay, what exactly are we gonna do now?" Kyle asked, once they had gotten to the double doors. No one had seen them, and the entire campus was completely empty, at least he hoped it was empty. Kyle tested the doors a couple times, but was unsuccessful in opening them. Kiba brushed him aside, grabbing a rock from the ground.

"Here, let me." he said, smashing the window with it. Kyle let out a surprised yelp when he heard all of the glass hitting the floor.

"Dude, what are you doing?" he asked. His brother reached into the open gap and pushed the bar on the door, causing it to open.

"I'm surprised this broke so easily. Isn't polarized glass supposed to be hard to break?" he asked, looking at his brother.

"Man I don't know, stop causing such a ruckus before someone sees us." he said. Kiba rolled his eyes and walked into the entrance hall. Just like he had thought, the place was empty, not a person in sight. He remembered the school was actually run by Nun's so he started moving a bit quieter, in case some where still in the building.

"Isn't the gym underground? I'm sure the tunnel we're looking for is near it." Kiba said.

"I think so...oh right, it's this way." he said, taking the first branching hallway. They quietly raced through the halls, passing by several empty classrooms. They finally reached the doors to the gymnasium, which were wide open, though the only thing they saw was a large set of stairs that would take them underground. Kiba looked around, humming to himself for a few seconds, he noticed another hallway, leading away from the gym. He nodded to himself, tapping his brother's shoulder.

"This way, I have a feeling this hall will lead us to it." he said. Kyle could only follow as his little brother lead the way. They stopped in front of a set of double doors, which thankfully were open. There was nothing but darkness on the other side of the door. He pulled out his phone and used it as a light as he and his brother started walking down it, both clutching their wooden swords.

"How long do you think this tunnel goes for?" Kyle asked.

"Don't know, with luck it will take us right into the government building of the bund. It's gonna be a bit hard at first but we should be able to get in contact with Princess Mina." he said.

"And if we don't?"

"Always with the negatives, jeez if we don't than we go find our sister ourselves." he said firmly.

They remained quiet after that, mostly thinking about everything that had happened so far. It had only been two hours since they last heard from their sister and yet to them it felt like it had been days. After some time, they started seeing light at the end of the tunnel, they almost wanted to run but thought against it. Keeping themselves calm, they walked the rest of the way, reaching a set of glass doors. Kiba looked around for a few seconds, seeing that the coast was clear before actually heading inside.

The place they walked into seemed more like a lobby of sorts, though everything had been wrapped in plastic, and it seemed as if no one had walked through there recently. The lights were dimmed, but they were enough to get a good look of the place. Kiba looked around, noticing the place was empty. He walked toward the large polarized windows and looked outside, seeing all of the people walking around the city streets. It was already dark outside, and the lights on all of the buildings were on, giving life to the city below them.

"Kyle, I think we're on the bund. Look down there." he said, pointing to the streets below. Kyle's eyes went wide as he saw the people down there, walking around and enjoying themselves. He swallowed hard, walking away from the glass.

"I'm getting the creeps man. I wanna go back!"

"Well we fucking can't go back, not without Nelly, now stop being a pussy and.."

"Stop right there, don't even think about moving humans!" a loud voice snapped from behind them. The two of them turned around, seeing several armed men standing behind them. Bright lights were being shined directly at them. Kiba sighed, pressing himself against the window. He didn't have any options as the moment.

"Silly me, I knew it was too easy. This place was being monitored, but my dumb ass didn't realize it." he said.

"Do you realize in how much shit we're in right now? I knew we should have done something else...something that wasn't like this." Kyle said, clearly frightened.

"Drop your weapons and everything you have, both of you are under arrest and will go into questioning!" one man said.

"Alright, we'll do as you say so long as I get to talk to the Princess. My sister was kidnapped by vampires and she's being held captive here. We need her help!" Kiba said.

"Likely story, hands where we can see them." the man said. Kiba said, dropping his bag and his Bokken to the ground, just as he was pressed against the wall. He was thoroughly searched before his hands were pulled behind his back, he felt the cold metal cuffs being snapped onto his wrists. He glanced next to him, seeing his brother going through the same thing, only the man opened his backpack and tipped it over, seeing several sharpened stakes and crosses falling to the ground.

"Is this some sick joke?" the man asked. Kiba glared at him, shaking his head.

"What, I wanted to be prepared." he said sheepishly.

"Get them out of here, alert her highness right away, and make sure you get Beowulf to keep an eye on them." the man said. Kiba sighed angrily as he was pushed forward.

The next few minutes were spent within a holding cell, or rather a large white box with a single door. It had a tiny slit in it for the person inside too see into the hall but that was it. He was leaning back against the wall, glancing at the wall in front of him. He already know it was one way glass and that he was most likely being watched, but he wasn't going to make an ass out of himself. He walked over to the slit in the door and peeked outside.

"Hey guard man, can a bum a smoke?" he asked.

"Sorry kid, I'm under strict orders, besides smoking is bad for you." the man replied.

"But aren't you a vampire?" Kiba asked.

"Eh, not really. It's hard to explain." he said.

"Okay...I suppose we're waiting for her royal highness to show up, so keep me entertained, the name's Kiba Kasuragi, pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"Akira Kaburagi, nice to meet you too. Hey, let me be honest with you man, why did you break into the school and take that tunnel here? Don't you know that place is being watched? If you wanted to become a vampire you could have made a formal request."

"I'll stop you right there bro, I'm not here to become a blood sucker. I'm here for my sister. Some group of vampires took her, the guy I interrogated told me she was brought here, only thing he said was For the Glory of the Princess, but that was after I stabbed his ass." he said.

"Wait...are you serious? The guy said that exactly?" Akira said, sounding a bit surprised. Kiba scoffed, leaning against the wall next to the door.

"Course, why would I lie? Anyway, I really hope the Princess lets me outta here, I need to find my sister before something bad happens to her." he said.

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news Kiba, but she was kidnapped by a group of people that handle a slavery ring. We took half of them out a few months back, but it seems they're active again. They took in a bunch of fashion models, pop stars, and a lot of beautiful women all around, all of the sake of their little ring. However this time, they aren't just going after famous women, they're going after young girls and teenagers. Princess Mina has been working hard to find their whereabouts, but they seem to move locations every day, so it's hard to pin them down." he explained.

"All the more reason for me to be here. I need to find my sister, my brother is too much of a wuss to be of any help. I am utterly on my own here, please man, you gotta help me." Kiba said.

"After you explain your situation to her, I'll be able to help you out. Here she comes now." Akira said. Kiba unconsciously straightened up and pressed his clothing down a bit. He also brushed down his hair with his fingers to make sure he looked presentable, as he walked to the other end of the room. He heard the door to his cell unlock before the door slid open.

He had been expecting someone far more imposing to be the Princess of the Night. Instead she looked just like a little girl. She was rather short, being around four foot nine in height, with pale white skin that shined like ivory. She had long blonde hair, tied into twin tails with dark black ribbons. She was wearing a rather short dress, with thin crossing shoulder straps. The dress barely reached past her waist, and he swore he saw a bit of her underwear. She was wearing a pair of black slippers, which had a white ribbon on the top, tied into a bow. Her crimson eyes bore into his own. She had a frown on her face, or rather a displeased look. Even though she looked like a little girl, this woman alone ruled the entire vampire race, and proved to that she wasn't someone to be trifled with.

Standing beside her was a young man who looked to be around seventeen years of age, with long spiky hair. He had bright green eyes and a lightly tanned skin. He was wearing a black shirt, underneath a hooded sweater with a white fur border. He was wearing a pair of blue jeans and sneakers. In his hands was an MP5 semi-automatic machine gun, with a mounted red dot sight and a flashlight. Kiba paled a bit when he saw the gun.

"So, this is the young man who broke into my school, walked through its halls and had the audacity to walk into my bund without alerting anyone? You don't seem like much." the girl said, though her eyes did betray her, as her eyes were filled with curiosity. Kiba huffed and looked at the far wall.

"With all do respect, for someone who calls themselves a Child of the Night, the security in the school and inside the tunnel is a bit lacking. The only reason you found me and my brother is because I got careless once we were inside the bund." he said. The girl giggled, running her fingers through her hair.

"I suppose you do raise a valid point. The VGS that found you and your brother explained the situation to me, but I want to hear it from the man who said it. So please, explain yourself young man."

"Jeez, why do I feel like I'm being scolded? My name is Kiba Kasuragi, and the reason why I broke into your school and made my way to the bund was because my sister was kidnapped this afternoon. I don't know by whom or for what, but what I do know is that the vampire I interrogated told me she was being taken here by his friends. When I stabbed his heart, the only thing he said before fully turning to ash was For the Glory of the Princess. The guard there told me that a few months back, a group of Slave traders was intercepted and several girls were found under their ownership, they also said the same thing. Enfin, I came to this bund to search for my sister, if you could help me find her, that would be greatly appreciated." he said.

"Well, that was very well formulated. How long did it take you to think of that?" the guard, who he assumed was Akira asked. Kiba gave him a smirk, leaning back against the wall.

"Honestly, I came up with it on the spot. I just needed to collect my thoughts, besides half of it was already formed in my mind." he said with a shrug. The Princess nodded, deeply in thought.

"Hmm...you're story checks out with what the guard said, and we heard the same thing from your brother, though you weren't a bubbling mess and spoke clearly. It also makes sense with what this group is doing, recently, their activity has skyrocketed in the bund, and after the three clans came here to cause havoc, we don't need something like this rearing it's ugly head again. I assure you, I will get the bund's most specialized personnel and we will find your sister. If we find her before 48 hours has passed, then she will be given the vaccine, assuming she was turned into a vampire, though currently we don't have many vaccines in stock. We will contact you with any details when we get them."

"Um, no no no. I am going to stay here and look for her, I came this far..you can't stop me. It was my responsibility to take care of her, if my mother finds out about this, she will kill me." he said.

"My apologies, you seem to have forgotten, this is a Vampire Bund, meaning humans aren't allowed here. Therefore you must be taken back to the mainland." Mina said, her voice firm.

"What about him? Isn't he human?" he asked, pointing to Akira.

"Actually, I'm something else. Not really a human, and not really a vampire. Fact of the matter is you have to go back, trust me we'll find her. We have some of the best out there already searching for these people." Akira said.

"I am not leaving man, this is my sister. What if it's to late for her? She'll have to stay here, and I don't want that to happen to her. I don't want her to be a vampire for the rest of her life, to not see her because I was too careless. Please, you have to let me find her." he said. Mina sighed, glancing at Akira who just gave her a firm look, as if pleading with her mentally. She licked her lips, looking back at the young man before her.

"I suppose I could make an exception. Thing is, the streets out there are filled with my people, I'll admit some of them aren't the best of people, but the fact of the matter is, they are vampires. So, if you want to stay here and find your sister, you'll have to become one of us." she said.

"Princess, can't you just give him a pass or something? I can keep the other vampires away from him. I've done it before." Akira said.

"I'm sorry Akira, but you know I can't do that. This is a delicate matter, especially since it involves other vampires. Even if I were to let him stay as a human, the people he would face wouldn't hesitate to turn him." she said. Kiba sighed, glancing at the ceiling. He was running out of options, if he wanted to find his sister, then he would have to do as the Princess said, and join their little covenant. He took his blazer off, placing it down on the floor, this earned a curious look from the princess.

"Fine, for my sister I'll do anything, even turn into something I really don't want to become. Just don't drink too much, I don't wanna pass out." he said, giving the princess a smile as he knelt down before her, exposing his neck to her.

"That won't be necessary, just your wrist is fine." she said. He nodded, holding his hand out to her. He turned away, just in time for her to sink her fangs into his skin. He let out a surprised gasp, feeling an immense pleasure coursing through his entire body. He couldn't explain it, it felt so euphoric that he had no words. His vision grew a bit hazy as he started to feel a bit hot. Mina finally let got of his wrist, wiping her lips with her thumb, licking up the small droplets.

"Are you alright Kiba?" she asked. He gave her a thumbs up, a grin on his face.

"It should take fifteen minutes for that hazy look to leave his face, the virus should already be making work of his system. Kiba, you have 24 hours to find your sister, if you don't find her by then then I'm afraid I can't do anything for you, other than giving you the vaccine. I can't afford to keep giving you the vaccine and turning you into a vampire to keep this up. I will assist you as much as I can, for now I will talk to your brother to see if he'd like the same deal. Akira keep an eye on him would you? Have the girls take him upstairs until he's feeling well."

"Yes Princess." the teen replied. Akira slung his gun around his shoulder and knelt down before Kiba, grabbing his arm and slinging it over his shoulder, pulling him to a standing position.

"Bro, I don't want to sound disgusting or anything, but I think I just came my pants." he said.

"That's an after effect of being turned. Be lucky that it was done by the princess, I'll help you get some new clothes and get your stuff back." He said, earning a nod from Kiba. He felt rather lethargic all of a sudden. But in the back of his mind, he knew that this was just the beginning. He was going to find his sister, even if it meant tearing the bund apart as a result.
