THE STRANGER
Atemu shot to his feet as he spun around. He wondered how this girl got inside and avoid detection from both Yugi and him.
The girl had raven black hair cascading down to the middle of her back, but it was tied back into a ponytail which made it appear shorter, and she had bright purple streaks in her bangs. Her eyes were sapphire blue and had hate behind them. She wore a white tanktop, a black unbuttoned shirt, black Tripp pants, a black duster, and black boots. Around her neck was a silver chain with a circle that had the planetary symbols engraved on it and a dragon in the center of the circle.
Atemu spotted a gun under her duster. "Who are you?" He demanded. "And how did you avoid Aibou and all my vampiric senses?"
The girl sneered, "You can call me Lunar Star, vampire. I am a Vampire Hunter."
And a crafty one at that. Thought the Pharaoh. "I would be correct in saying you fought the demon last night, would I not?"
"You are." Replied the black haired beauty. "Unfortunately, it escaped before I could kill it." Then she reached into her duster to grab her gun.
"You fire that gun of yours, Lunar Star," Atemu warned, "Aibou will come running."
"By then, I'll be gone." She quickly pulled out her gun, aimed, and fired all in one motion.
Atemu managed to dodge, but it still struck him in the shoulder. He felt the pain spread from the wound like wild fire and knew it was a silver bullet in his shoulder. Then, with his vampiric speed, charged at the black haired beauty.
She was surprised and was thrown off guard. Before she knew it, she was on the floor with the Pharaoh pinning her down. She snarled. "So. Your far older than you look."
Atemu only grinned. He heard Yugi coming towards the back and knew the smaller heard the gunshot.
The girl, who calls herself Lunar Star, kneed the Pharaoh, taking his breath away. Then she flipped him over her head. Then she quickly flipped onto her feet.
Atemu landed flat on his back near her. Then he rolled onto his side and curled into a little ball because she had kneed him good in the groin. "You...ugh...bitch." He growled, finally getting to his knees.
The girl heard Yugi's voice and she vanished into the darkness.
Atemu slowly rose to his feet and leaned against the wall. "Ow." He murmured. "She got me good." He checked his shoulder and saw blood slowly trickling out of the bullet hole.
Yugi finally came into the back room and found the Pharaoh. "Atemu, are you all right?" He asked.
"Yeah." He groaned. "Some girl calling herself Lunar Star showed up."
"A vampire?" Yugi said.
"No." Atemu replied. "She was human."
"Hunter?"
Atemu nodded. "And very strong. And...ugh...talented."
Lunar Star. Thought Yugi. Why does that name sound familiar? He then spotted the gun the girl had left behind. "Besides Lunar Star, did you find anything?"
"Only that the demon ate the cats in this room because it was hiding from her."
Yugi put a piece of cloth over the barrel of the gun and picked it up. "Let's check this out and get the bullet out of your shoulder. It looks like it hurt."
"It did." Atemu placed a hand over his injury. "Let us go."
Yugi nodded.
It was dark in a bedroom in an apartment on the third floor of a building. There was a twin size bed with white sheets, a dark blue blanket, and a beige pillow on it. White curtains covered an open window and the breeze slowly moved them. On the closet door was a full length mirror. In the back corner was a desk with a stack of papers and a black laptop next to them. In the corner near the bedroom door was a small bookshelf full of books on spells, potions, supernatural creatures, how to read Tarot cards, and fantasy/adventure novels.
Lunar Star came into her bedroom through her open window, switched on a light, and quickly changed into her pajamas. She pulled out her Student ID from her duster and tossed it onto her desk. Then she hid her black clothes in her closet in a trunk sitting on the floor.
The Student ID had a picture of her and on it was written:
Name: Rosa Tatsuyoshi
Age: 17
Grade: 3-D
Her aunt entered her bedroom and found her niece with a book open on her lap. "Rosa," she said sharply, "why aren't you in bed yet? It's way past your bedtime."
"I'm going to bed now." The black haired beauty answered as she closed her book. "I'm sorry, Oba-san." Then she set the book onto her desk and finally crawled under the covers.
"Good." Her aunt snapped. Then she turned off the bedroom light and left.
Rosa Tatsuyoshi, the real name of Lunar Star. She was just seven, a third year high school student, and a Vampire Hunter. All the other students at Domino High treated her like she was invisible so it was easy to keep her secret hidden from her classmates. Neither her aunt nor friend, Umeko Ameteratsu, knew of her secret. But soon, someone would learn of her secret.
dragonchild247: Dramatic irony! Sorry. I have a habit of doing that. Oh well. All of you know Lunar Star's real name. And Oba-san means aunt.... Stay tuned and find out what will happen next. Please review. You people are amazing.
