Kaito smiled. He was enjoying this hobby of his. Actually, he had been trying to find the killer of his parents, but whatever, stalking this girl; a human by the scent; was a lot more fun. She wasn't to his tastes though, but he was curious on why she smelled like Werewolves. Smelled like... RIN AND CUL! He hissed, after all, those two cheated him out of his grandfather's watch and the ring that showed that he was head of his clan. Those brats had tricked him into playing a game. Long story short; they cheated, they won and he lost his grandfather's precious watch. Then Cul saw the ring on his hand, and just had to have it. She cheated him! And he fell for it... All he wanted to do was find the brats so that he could get his items back. And knock a few skulls together if he had to. Kaito growled slightly. Luka's head jerked up and she bolted for the camp. As soon as she was gone, he hopped down from where he was hiding and sighed softly. Well, that had gone badly, but because she left a trail in her haste to get away, he could now follow her back to her campsite.

Luka shivered. She swore that she had heard a noise in the woods, tried to convince herself that it was nothing, but it didn't work. She ended up fleeing for her life back to the campsite. Silently she stepped back into the cave and snuggled down into the blanket beside Rin. It was soon after that she fell asleep.

Kaito slipped up to the cave entrance. He sniffed the air slightly and narrowed his eyes. Rin and Cul weren't here, in fact it seemed that they had left a long time ago as their scents were old and beginning to fade away. He didn't like it. He was going to find them even if it was the last thing he did. That and catch the person who killed his parents. Though he couldn't see the face due to a robe covering it, he would never forget the eyes. Dark eyes that screamed hate. Kaito shivered again and hurried off, following the trail towards the woods.

Gakupo was bored to say the least. He had been watching the little humans for the past hour, and was thinking of calling it a day. Then Kaito wandered onto the scene.

~He's still alive? I thought I killed him along with his parents...~

Gakupo was grinning now, he had found a new little toy. This was going to be fun. Silently, he shifted shapes and glided down to land on the child's shoulder.

Kaito jumped slightly when the hawk landed on his shoulder. Though this kind of animal was normal in these woods, Kaito couldn't help but feel a little suspicious about this animal. It didn't feel right. He wasn't sure why, but somehow he knew that this animal wasn't what it seemed. When the hawk disappeared in a burst of smoke, Kaito shrieked and then frowned. He had not been expecting that. But it just proved his point; this animal had not been normal. Sighing, shaking his head, and trying to forget what had just happened, Kaito raced down the path towards the woods. Except this time, he was the one being watched.

In the woods ahead, there was a clearing. In the clearing, there were ancient ruins. Ruins that were created by the Gods; Gods that ruled the world and created all of the races that now roamed these lands. On top of those ruins, there was a man. Kaito gulped, but remained in the shadows. The man was facing away from him, so Kaito couldn't see his face.

"May I ask what you are doing here?" The man spoke for the first time and Kaito couldn't help but notice his voice. It was low, indicating that it was a man. His figure also betrayed that information. He was tall and well muscled. And when he turned around, Kaito noticed that he had a robe that covered his face, and mentally Kaito sighed. He was now curious to see what this person looked like.

"I was trying to track some people down. They have a few things of mine. You wouldn't have seen two Werewolves, would you?" The man blinked slowly, obviously thinking about it.

"Unfortunately, no. You are the first person I have seen since I entered these woods." Kaito sighed softly. Well, there goes the idea of finding them anytime soon. Then the man was beside him.

"May I ask your name?" He smiled softly.

"I'm Kaito. What's yours?"

"...Gakupo. ….Waitaminute. You're the son of those two Vampires I killed. How the heck are you still alive?" Gakupo recoils.

"Wait, you're the one who killed my parents? You're dead meat!" Kaito swings at Gakupo, twin blades materializing within his hands, forcing Gakupo to jump even farther back. Now he was dangerously close to the edge of a nearby cliff. One more attack and Gakupo fell, his body twisting through the air. Kaito stood up at the top of the cliff, grinning. Then he turned, and raced off into the woods. Gakupo flipped over, grabbed a branch and swung himself down onto the ground; landing safely on the solid rock. If he had waited a little longer, he would have ended up cracked like a dropped egg.

Miku stepped out of the cave. It was nice out; warm and sunny. She was enjoying this weather. 10 seconds later, her opinion changed. A young man with crashed right into her.

"What the heck? Why is it that everyone I meet runs right into me?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't see you there." The boy is staring at her.

"HEY! You're a Human!"

"Yeah... Isn't that the only race around here?" He shook his head.

"I'm a Vampire."

"Really, like I'm going to believe that one." The child smiles showing fangs.

"Really, it's true. I'm Kaito." Miku blanches a little. She had heard rumors about his people, but she never thought that they actually existed.

"I'm Miku. Come on in. It's the least I can seeing how I ran into you." Kaito shook his head, "No, it's my fault. I wasn't paying attention."

"Okay, if you insist."

"Hey! That's the second time you stopped without warning!" Kaito was annoyed now. He wanted to tackle and drain the blood out of her, but he ignored the primal instinct. Miku ran back toward the cave hollering the whole way.

"LUKA, GET UP! We have a guest!" 'Luka' stepped out of the cave, she had a long shirt on and a pair of pj bottoms. Her hair was a mess.

Luka yawns, "What is it Miku. It isn't Rin and Cul again, is it?" At the mention of these names, Kaito's eyes narrow dangerously.

"You've met them?" Miku and Cul nod slowly, they don't seem to understand. Typical stupid Humans.

"They took something from me that I want back."

"Do you mean the watch that Rin was swinging around?" Miku asks quietly.

"YES! That's the one. She took it from me and I want it back."

"They went into the woods." Luka points back at the gloomy woods.

Gakupo smiles. Rin was pinned to a tree by daggers and Cul was hiding up in the same one.

"Give me the ring and the watch and I'll let you go." Rin and Cul both hiss. Gakupo moves forward and searches her quickly and quietly. He pulls the watch out of her jacket pocket. Glancing up at Cul, he can make out the faint glimmer of the ring on her finger. Shifting into a dove, he yanks it off her finger and flew off; her curses following him through the sky.

He lands in a field far off; shifting again to his human form. Kaito is coming his way, following the scent of the watch and ring. He bursts out of the woods and stares, shocked.

"Shouldn't you be dead? I though you fell off of a cliff. AHH! MY RING! GIVE IT!"

Gakupo was now waving the ring in front of his face, just out of his reach.

"Meet me at the old castle and I'll 'give' it to you." ~For a price.~ passes through his mind and he shakes it off before quickly disappearing. Kaito now stands alone in the field. Alone and furious.

"There you are." Kaito had just come around the corner. He stepped into the room; determined to get his stuff back.

"Give it." Kaito spoke, his voice cold, and Gakupo swore that he saw ice cubes dropping from his mouth; shattering against the floor.

"Give what?" He knew it wasn't a good idea, but Gakupo couldn't resist teasing him. He liked the way that this child hated him.

"Don't play with me!" Kaito lashed out at him and Gakupo ducked. Quickly he grabbed his hand and pinned him.

"What are you doing?" Kaito was now freaked out. Gakupo pushed his mouth against his, effectively shutting him up. Kaito struggled in his grip, but Gakupo held him tightly, his fingers sliding down his pants to gently grope him. Quickly, he disposed of the offending clothing and proceded to rape the poor child.

As soon as Kaito came, sighing, Gakupo let go of him and dropped both the ring and watch into his lap before disappearing. Kaito got up and wrapped his jacket around himself. It was cold out; too cold for him to like it, even through he was a Vampire. Then he disappeared in a burst of black flames.

He was furious at Gakupo. How dare he do that to him. Stealing such a thing. Hissing in rage, Kaito threw a vase at the wall. Piko; who was just stepping into the room, caught it easily.

"Young master, you shouldn't be doing that."

"Be quiet, half-breed!" Piko backed up before answering.

"I am a Dhampire, not a half-breed."

"Your mother was a human, right?" Kaito whirls around lashing out with the question. Piko flinches before answering.

"Y-y-yes..."

"Then you are a half-breed!" Kaito's face softens. "I'm sorry Piko, I really don't know what has gotten into me right now... At least I got my grandfather's watch and my father's ring back. Waitaminute. THIS ISN'T THE REAL RING!" Kaito hurls the thing at Piko. He ducks and it smashes against the wall, breaking into millions of pieces.

Far off, in his own castle, Gakupo holds a diamond ring up to the light of the moon and smiles. His little friend would be coming back very soon, maybe he would even spend a little time with him.
