PROLOGUE: Taking a different path in life.

I opened my eyes.

The room, it's so… bright.

I sat up, stretching my limbs, and when I turned to my right, I saw a vanity table with a mirror on it.

The mirror… it had the picture of a girl. She had a hime-styled haircut and her jet black was really… jet black. Her bangs or fringe was swept to the side in a messed-up manner (bed head).

She had red glowing eyes, that represents a famished, no, ravenous monster who was starved for who-knows-how long.

Her expression was like that of an untamed animal.

She had very defined high cheekbones on her oval-shaped faced that went well with her slender neck.

Her stature was of tall frame, she had a slender waist and her posture at the moment was that of a wild, untamed person.

The girl in the mirror was almost flawless, perfect even if it weren't for the bloody red eyes.

It was me…

Vampire…

I wasn't in the room anymore. Memories, my memories, played through my mind.

It was dark. I was in a dark empty alleyway. My expression, I knew, couldn't be seen. It was hidden behind my side swept bangs that reached past my eyebrows. I, however, am aware that I had an evil smirk plastered on face.

I smell them.

My smirk is even wider, if it was even possible.

They are near.

As I turned right, a bunch of Level E were there. They were startled to see me, I guess. 'Come at me.' I thought.

They gave their 'group members' a glance before charging at me.

"Your blood…"

"Give it…"

"…Sweet"

"…Taisetsuna…blood"

With nothing else being said, I was by them in an instant. My combat boots were kicked into one of their shins, while my hands were used as if it was a blade. I straightened my fingers (like when you salute) and pierced into random body parts. My favorite immediately, being the eyeballs, nose and shoulders. Blood splattered.

It was disgusting.

"Tch. I didn't even get a chance to fully play." I said as I jab a finger into the eyeball of the last Level E. "Assassinating filthy nobles doesn't help me practice all that much either. When am I ever going to get something better to play with?" I muttered bitterly to no one in particular.

I twitched. There were footsteps. Cold, heavy footsteps.

I tensed.

"Who's there?"

"I'm sorry if I startled you, but I couldn't help but to overhear you" A resonating, strong male voice.

I gasped. That means he must've heard me muttering about assassinating nobles.

I went into defense mode, prepared to run. If he heard me muttering that, he must've been a vampire.

As the stranger walked closer, I felt even more on the edge.

'Calm down, this is what you were trained for'

"I see that you have great potential. With the path you are taking in life, it does seem like it will go to waste." He said calmly.

I couldn't see his expression; his expression was hidden behind his bangs.

What should I do?

"What do you want?" I hissed viciously. "Get lost!"

"You know deep within you that this isn't the path you want. This forbidden feeling within you that the Vampire Council might someday just turn their backs on you, and they might even kill you after all that you've done for them."

"They raised me. It's the least I could do."

"We are vampires. Why do you think they even want to raise you, a noble, aside from the fact that your blood is the least tainted out of all of the other vampires?"

"Just leave me alone!" I whipped out my two short swords but then I realized that I couldn't move.

"I'm a pureblood. Why do you think you think you can't move?" He was so close to me now. His mouth was so near my ears that I couldn't help but tremble.

A shiver went up my spine.

"Because my blood is the purest." I let out an ear piercing scream. My body is in pain.

"If you want to live tonight, listen and agree to my proposition."

He instantly let me go.

And I was on the ground that instant, my hands instinctively went up my neck. I was coughing.

I was here facing what could possibly be the strongest vampire, and yet, I was defiant.

I knew I shouldn't but I must.

I stared into his eyes.

Like a king staring at a person committed treason.

If this is supposed to make me feel better, his eyes were the color of wine. Kire…

I snapped out of it as he said "I'm willing to get you out of the clutches of the Vampire Council in return."

"And how do I know if I'm not falling into the clutches of someone even worse?"

"One thing for sure is you will be attending the Cross Academy and the only terrible part of it is that you can't drink blood and you'll have to attend classes."

"How is that supposed to make me feel any better?" I ask defiantly.

"If that isn't good enough, how about I lend you a helping hand in finding your identity?"

I gasped. I never knew my parents or siblings. I'm not quite sure if I do not have any siblings nor do I know if they are alive or not.

I stared at the ground, doing some mental calculations.

I think it's going to be alright.

I'm sure it's going to be alright.

"Okay. I accept."

"Are you sure?"

"I am. If there is any family of mine left out there, I'm pretty sure it's alright. I need to save my soul from all this killing. I'll be as crazy."

"And if there isn't?"

"Why are you asking me so many questions? I thought you wanted this?"

"I'm not heartless. I want you to know that you're changing the path of your life, and once it's done, there's no going back, not even after I tell you who I am."

He was right. It was too dark. I couldn't entirely see him, so I'm not quite sure who he is exactly.

Would I be shocked? What if he's my family member?

With that thought, I became more anticipated.

"It's alright, I accept. Even as well as what you are going to ask me to do next."

"As you wish."

He stepped into the light and held his head higher.

…

"What's with that look?"

"Nothing. I expected something better." I said, as I reverted from my chibi form to my usual self. I didn't expect it to be the great ousama of vampires, though. Che, what a disappointment."

"I will ignore your words."

"So what am I supposed to be doing as part of the deal?"

His lips moved. I couldn't hear anything.

But before I realized it, I blacked out as I managed to make out the words he said.

A knock sounded on the door. I flinched from my not-so-delightful memories.

"May I come in?" It was the same man from that night.

I didn't say yes but he came in anyways.

I gasp as I realized something.

Which is better: him or the Vampire Council?

I internally groaned.

This is going to suck.

Disclaimer: If I put this, I might as well rename the FF website. VK does not belong to me.

A/N: Uhhh… Hi? So yeah, this is my first FF. So, yoroshiku! *bows down* I actually attempted to do FF a few times, but I wasn't really satisfied with them. This is like a random idea I got yesterday night. Truth is, I haven't even plan what is the OC's name. I just hope that she doesn't end up a Mary-sue. Unless it's a kick ass Mary sue *wiggles eyebrows*. I was bored with plots that I decided to do a random plot FF. I think its better than the other thoroughly planned FFs that I wrote if I do say so myself. Let's hope it does not suck.

I'm emotional at times, so I might be a bit too angsty.

And if the story is like anybody's, do tell and I'll check the original story for myself. I read too many FF in my life, so I wouldn't be too surprised if it sounds like it from another story.

I'm a procrastinator, so I might not update so soon.

Hopefully, I will update it at some point later on in my life.

Please help me out through PM and comments.

I take criticism opinions but not flames. I'm a softie.

P.s. Oh yeah, kire- pretty, ousama-king
