Chp 2

The early sun began to rise, and shine upon Tokyo. The sunrise, or sunset, has its own beauties within themselves. The sunrise represents that a brand new day was starting, full of possibilities that you might not expect. The sunset, however, is a time that you know that the day is over. As the sun's warm light slowly vanish, you couldn't help but feel that the sun's rays were protecting you from any harm during the day. And let's just say sometimes you get the idea that the moon was encouraging god-knows-what to come out and harm you.

Thankfully, it was sunrise.

To most Tokyo residents nowadays, the sunrise was like a gift from Kami-sama (A/N: The Japanese God for those that don't know), indicating that they have survived another night from the mysterious attacks.

They'd all heard it, the cries of Mizuki Hajime that echoed throughout the entire district. Most people felt sorry at the poor guy who had been attacked, but they didn't know that Mizuki went up to Fuji and 'asked for it'. They had just prayed that everything was alright for him.

:~:

"I'm off, neesan!" Fuji Syuusuke called out. He was leaving for school as usual. Vampires stop growing at a certain point of time in their lives, but Fuji was born on 29 February, the day that comes every four years. So growth for him takes a little more time than a normal vampire.

"Take care, Syuusuke!" Was the reply that he received from somewhere in the house. But Fuji heard clearly, with his abnormal hearing, that she was in her room.

He smiled, and walked towards school. Saa, the tensai thought, let another fresh day begin.

:~:

A guy with dark brown locks waited for the road to clear, his silver glasses shining under the sun. His stoic expression gave people the impression that he does everything with equal seriousness.

But he had let his guard down at that moment; he was thinking deep.

He had heard the scream last night, and knew that only a vampire could've screamed that loud. He sighed at the recklessness of whoever that vampire was. He only hoped that a Hunter like him had killed the vampire, hence ridding the world of another evil being.

He was about to take a step when someone suddenly shouted, "Tezuka!"

Tezuka Kunimitsu snapped back to his senses and realized what he was doing. He almost took a step into the busy road. And the one who shouted out the warning was…

"Fuji?" Said smiling tensai looked at him and greeted him. "You let your guard down, Tezuka. That's not like you, ne?"

"I was thinking about… stuff." The stoic buchou was quick to regain his composure.

Fuji knew that his captain was a vampire hunter, but he was smart enough to hide enough evidence to let Tezuka know that he is a vampire. He smiled knowingly, having to have read Tezuka's mind on what he's thinking. It was about the scream last night. "About the scream last night?"

"Ah, another victim that the attacker has taken."

Tezuka wasn't surprised, seeing that everyone had heard the scream. The day after the night screams were heard it always became a popular topic. Everyone would wonder who had died. But only few would know that it was a vampire that died; only they scream like that when they suffer death.

"Fuji…"

"Mm? Nani?"

"Do you believe in vampires?"

"Saa, ma ne." Fuji sighed inwardly. He knew that sooner or later, Tezuka would ask him supernatural questions. He always has a strong sense of instinct and always follows it when he felt that he had to.

The captain of Seigaku was a little surprised at Fuji's reply. He knew that Fuji would reply something like that, but his tone make it seem like he believes it but doesn't believe that Tezuka himself believe vampires.

"You're not a vampire, ne Tezuka?" Fuji suddenly decided to throw Tezuka off a bit, and was satisfied at the brief shock on his face.

"No, I'm not." Tezuka turned to look at Fuji. "You're not one, are you?"

"Saa… you decide," the tensai grinned back.

They were walking past a small alley when Tezuka's instinct screamed at him that Fuji was a vampire. Then, he grabbed Fuji by the collar and pulled him into the alley.

"Te-Tezuka?!"

"I smell blood on you." Said buchou glared at Fuji, whose eyes were widened with shock. "Are you truly a vampire or not?"

"Saa…" Fuji decided that he would find out soon anyways. He allowed his vampire eyes to be seen, a clear, beautiful blood red. "You got me, Hunter."

Tezuka's eyes widen in shock, but before he could do anything, he felt Fuji's hand pushed him away in the stomach with his abnormal strength.

Fuji was about to leave the narrow alley when he turned to Tezuka and smiled. "I trust that you'll not tell anyone, Ku-ni-mi-tsu~"

Tezuka flinched at his smile. He glared angrily back. He was angry; angry that he found out a vampire by force; angry that one of his teammates happen to be a vampire; angry that he didn't realize it sooner.

I'll get you, Fuji. Tezuka almost muttered out his thoughts. I'll get you, Fuji Syuusuke. I swear by my Vampire Hunter life I will.

And I would.

:~:

Things are gonna get interesting from now on, Fuji smiled as he reached Seishun Gakuen. Going to get me are you, Tezuka? Why don't we see you try…?

As he entered he clubhouse, he saw his good friend Kikumaru Eiji changing into his regular jersey. He smiled as he walked close to Eiji.

"Ohayou, Eiji."

"Oh, Fujiko, nya! Ohayou, nya!" Eiji said happily.

"We're having practice matches with Rikkai Dai today, right?"

"Yup! Ne, Fujiko, last night, about the scream, nya…"Eiji's smile faded a little. "You did the killing, didn't you?"

"Ahn." Said tensai replied with a reassuring smile. Eiji was the only one that knew he was a vampire. And every time he looked at Fuji, he remembers the incident that happened 2 years ago.

FLASHBACK

"Does anyone know where Fuji-kun went?" Captain Yamato asked the first years.

"Fuji?"

"I don't think anyone saw him, buchou."

"He was in class today though, I sit next to him." Eiji said. The acrobatic first year was a bit worried for Fuji's disappearance.

"I see, could you try to find Fuji-kun, Kikumaru-kun?"

"Hai, Yamato buchou!"

Eiji ran around the school to find Fuji. "Mou, Fujiko, where are you?" he muttered.

As if someone heard his wish, Fuji stepped out from the shadows of a tree that Eiji was looking at. Eiji saw his friend and yelled, "FUJIKO!"

Fuji saw his friend ran up to him, but he wasn't in the condition to greet him. His skin was unusually pale, and he was in pain.

Eiji ran up to him with a concerned look on his face. "Fujiko, daijoubu nya?"

Before he could react, he was forcefully slammed against the grass. What he saw might have possibly scarred him for life, but Fuji was in his full vampire form, his blood red eyes and fangs scared Eiji out of his wits. "Gomen, Kikumaru-kun. But I really can't control my thirst anymore." Fuji was smiling sadistically and leaning closer against Eiji's neck. Eiji froze in shock; he didn't know that his friend would be a vampire, nor did he realize on how Fuji can be that scary. That was also the first time Fuji called him Kikumaru-kun. As the tensai reached his neck he buried his face into Eiji's neck, he felt his fangs moving about on his skin.

Eiji knew that he only had one chance. His nails were supposedly sharp enough to cut himself. He scratched his left arm right as Fuji's fangs began to make holes in his neck. And by accident, his middle finger grazed his right cheek and made a little bloody line on it. He felt his fangs stop there and turned his attention to Eiji's bleeding arm.

"Fuji, please drink from my arm instead." Eiji practically whispered. Fuji obeyed without any hesitation. After Fuji drank for 30 seconds though, he pulled away from Eiji. As he was feeding he came back to his senses and pulled away from Eiji.

"Eiji, you idiot… why did you let me drink? Now you're going to-"

"I won't."

"Eh?"

"As long as vampires don't drink from the necks you won't get infected." Eiji was getting a bit paler, but he was smiling. "You, between us two should know that better."

"Eiji…" Fuji felt thankful for his friend, and also guilty for drinking from him. "Here, let me heal the fangs wound."

Fuji got close to Eiji's neck once again and slipped out his tongue. He licked Eiji's wounds to heal them up, wishing that he hadn't done that from the start.

"…Fuji?"

The tensai opened his eyes by a bit, and wondered what was going on. The wounds made by the fangs are starting to glow and stay there on Eiji's neck. The circles, however, are connected by a straight line; like a circuit.

Fuji widened his eyes in surprise and softly said, "Now this is unusual."

"What is, Fujiko?"

"Thanks to you, I was able to come back to my senses and stop before you could get any worse. And because I wanted the scars to heal so badly that formed a connection between us."

"Eh?! I'm not going to become your blood bank, am I?"

"Iie, that's not it. We're now able to save each other with our own blood due to this connection. It would only happen between a human and a vampire."

"Wow, that's so cool!"

"Come on, Eiji. I'll make up an excuse to your paleness. Can you stand?"

"Hai…"

As the two walked back to the tennis courts, Eiji knew that sooner than later he would get involved into Fuji's life.

"Eiji?"

"Nani, nya?"

"Can you keep this a secret?"

"Of course, nya."

"Oh, and also, put your plaster over your right cheek."

"Later, nya" smiled Eiji.

END OF FLASHBACK

"…Fujiko? Fujiko!"

Fuji snapped out of his mini daydream and looked at Eiji. "I'm okay, don't worry."

They were already in their Seigaku jerseys, and they were warming up for the practice matches that would happen later.

:~:

"Akaya-kun, please hurry up, you are delaying us."

"Tarundoru, Akaya!"

"Yagyuu-senpai, Sanada-senpai, I'm here already! Sheesh, you could just chill about it." Muttered 'Akaya'.

"Akaya, you should just listen to your senpai-tachi, you know." Teased a redhead chewing a bubblegum.

"Puri."

"Bunta, Niou!"

"Relax, Jackal. I know my limits."

A team of 8 people boarded the bus and headed off to a school in which they had been invited to. They were all wearing yellow jerseys with black stripes.

"Yukimura, daijoubu ka?" the black hair guy who said 'Tarundoru' asked.

"Daijoubu desu yo, Sanada." 'Yukimura' smiled.

As Yukimura looked out the bus window, he couldn't stop smiling.

It's been a while since we've met, he thought. I can't wait to see you again.

Syuusuke…

:~:

Fuji was deep in thought, though his trademark smile made anyone believe that he was watching someone or themselves. I can't believe we'd see each other again today.

During the Nationals, he had not noticed Fuji who was looking back at him with familiarity. Even when Fuji was playing against his opponent, it felt that he wasn't looking on purpose. It would've been awkward if they had met anyways. But to suddenly see him now…

Fuji looked towards the school gates, and thought…

Long time no see,

Seiichi.

:~:

Within minutes, their bus had arrived at Seishun Gakuen. As the team got off, the vice-captain noticed that the captain of the Seigaku tennis club was waiting for them at the school gate. He walked up to him and greeted him. "Thank you for inviting us here, Tezuka."

"It was nothing, Sanada. Is Yukimura-kun doing well?"

"He is. And also," Sanada Genichirou looked to see if his team was near. They weren't. "You weren't the one to have killed the vampire, or did you?"

"I was wondering the same thing with you." Tezuka sighed. Sanada was very good at hunting down vampires. He came from a family who knew supernatural stuff. He was entrusted, Tezuka heard, with the powers of 'FuuRinKaZan'. But its true form is actually 'FuuRinKaInZanRai'. Tezuka had actually asked Sanada about it, and he said that he was saving his best for the strongest vampire he would ever face.

Tezuka's family was not a family of supernatural believers, but they have three types of power that was passed down to generations upon generations. They were 'Tezuka Zone', 'Tezuka Phantom' and 'Zero-Shiki'. Tezuka practiced with them so much that they became a part of his tennis career life.

Tezuka and Sanada had trained since they were able to communicate with each other. They had worked on missions since the age of 7. But until 14, they had fewer missions together since they were in different schools. But they had complete trust in each other that they would be safe without each other.

"Eh? Yukimura's missing!" The redhead called 'Bunta' looked around, an amused look on his face.

"I can't predict the chances of why Yukimura's gone…" mumbled a guy with brown hair and closed eyes. "It's illogical."

Tezuka raised an eyebrow at this, and Sanada just sighed. "He's like this; we can't do anything about it."

:~:

Fuji felt a strong presence immediately after he finish his warm ups. His eyes were turning into a blood red color again; he needed to keep his eyes shut. Then he felt someone calling to him.

Syuu, follow my voice…

Seii… (A/N: This is Fuji's line)

Without making much noise and attention, Fuji rushed to an isolated spot in the school. He was reaching that spot, and saw a guy in a yellow jersey. He had a green hairband in his blue hair. As he turned around, he looked at Fuji with blood red eyes, and smiled. "Syuu-kun, long time no see."

"Seiichi…"

Alright, chapter 2 done!

Chapter 3 might come out soon, but I cant guarantee it would come out tomorrow...

Also it was a last minute decision to make Tezuka and Sanada, in fact, adding vampire hunters to the story. It makes it more interesting, ne?

I'll try to write chapters with at least 1k words or so, I know how it feels to have a short chapter

X( alright I gotta go.

thanks you guys xx
