Chapter 1: A bloody nights work
He dropped the now lifeless body onto the bed in the room he had rented for the night. She would be awake by dawn. By that time she would be a vampire like him, like he had been for over two hundred years.
This young maiden would be a valuable member of his Lady's empire. He had watched from afar for about a month and had learned a little about her, as he did with all his victims.
Her name had been Emirri Yamagato and she was fifteen going on sixteen, the age he usually preyed upon. She had been the daughter of a high-ranked soldier and he had taught her how to fight. She had strength that would prove most useful.That was why he chose her as his next victim, to benefit the Lady.
Everything he did was for his Lady, the Vampire Queen. It had been two days since he had last seen his lovely Queen and he was missing her terribly. He was to leave within the hour, but first he had to clean up.
He looked into the mirror on the dresser and saw, even in the darkness, that his long silver hair was drenched in blood, from both him and the girl. She had put up a fight which is what he liked but it usually didn't lead up to a lot of blood loss like it did tonight. This had caused him to feel lightheaded, like he had gone days without a "meal".
He felt a pang atop his head and he looked closer to notice that a small notch was in his left dog ear. It was not important, it would grow back within a day, but it hurt like hell!
'That damn girl! Who the hell does she think she is?'
The vampire shrugged and grabbed the towel that was lying over the corner chair. He poured the full water jug into the porcelain basin in front of the mirror. He dipped the towel into the basin and began to wash out the blood which was now staining the pure white porcelain.
'I've got to be heading back, she's probably expecting me.'
He shook himself dry, looking so much like a dog and then checked himself once again in the mirror. Once he found himself presentable he began to finish up his work.
He walked over to the cheap, three-legged nightstand that stood next to the bed. He pulled two roses out of his red haori, one black and one white. The white rose, which was wilting, signified the loss of her innocence and the black one represented her death, but also her new existence as a vampire.
He always did this after a killing. He also gave his prey a red rose every night before the killing, to aware the maiden of his presence. Most thought it was a gift from an admirer not a threat form a vampire. He had yet to find a girl that saw the red roses as a warning. If that were to ever happen, then he would be intrigued.
He looked out the shaded over window and used his enhanced senses to tell that dawn would be in about an hour. He walked to the sliding door and looked back at his prey. Her black hair was put into tiny little braids that were spread across the bed, giving her almost a Medusa appearance.
He gave her small form a smile, one with no emotion, and slid open the door and made his exit. He walked down the rotting stairs, down to the pub. His bare feet making almost no sound as he descended down the stairs. He finally reached the downstairs only to be bombarded by a wave of noise that came from a bunch of drunks that sat at the corner table by the entrance.
The bartender and owner of the pub and inn gave the vampire a smile as he cleaned an old mug.
"Will you care for a drink, Lord Inuyasha?"
"No thanks, Myoga," replied the vampire as he pushed his way past another load of drunks.
"Well then would you like a horse to borrow for the long trip home? I have a new stallion out back. He should be one hell of a ride."
Inuyasha didn't usually show kindness to anyone but his prey, but Myoga was an old friend of his, who also knew Inuyasha's true nature. Myoga had always saved the back bedroom at the inn for Inuyasha so that he could sire. So Inuyasha treated Myoga with as much respect as a vampire and former half-demon could give to a human.
Inuyasha gave Myoga a quick smirk then walked to the door. Once there he turned to Myoga and replied.
'Nah, I think I'll walk."
And with that he walked out the door. He stopped for a second outside the door to take in a deep breath of the cool night air. Then he quickly jumped up to the top of the nearest house and hopped the roofs and headed in the direction of the dark and dank forest he and his people called home.
