The intimidating man towered over Hinata as he looked down upon him. Hinata was about ready to pee his pants just looking at him.

Kageyama looked at him as if Hinata was a bug just waiting to be crushed. In fact, the only reason he hadn't already been crushed was probably the same reason why he was kidnaped. Hinata then heard the large oak door open behind him.

"Where were you, Kuroo?" Kageyama spoke for the first time. His voice was deep, one that could've been comforting, but was currently very menacing.

"Ah? I was doing my job like ALWAYS," The voice that responded spoke in a "sweet leader who's perfect and can do no wrong" voice that reminded Hinata of his brother. "What's this?"

"This?" Kageyama pointed at Hinata like a child who didn't know it was rude to point."This is the human we were told to capture."

Kuroo walked up to Hinata and crouched down to look closely at his face. "Oya, what do we have here?" He examined him. "Well Kageyama, you're lucky I am a kind person, because before you went and got your butt whipped by Oikawa, I'm going to tell you that isn't the right human. Oikawa wanted a red head, not orange."

They all just stood there. Kuroo even stifled a bit of laughter, but ran off before he could burst. Suga, Daichi and Asahi all looked at each other like they were saying good bye.

After a few uncomfortable moments of being stared at, Kageyama acknowledged the mistake, and Hinata spoke up.

"Um, wh- ack!" before he could finish his sentence, Kageyama had kicked him in the gut.

"You are now an unnecessary part of the future! Don't talk to a vampire, you human scum!" Kageyama hissed.

There was that word again, "Vampires?" He managed to choke out. His mouth beginning to feel dry.

The silver haired smiley man came into view "Hm? Why yes, vampires! See?" He opened his mouth to show two long fangs protruding out of his mouth.

Hinata's eyes widened in surprise and he felt a shiver go down his spine. They were real. Vampires were real! (And Jesus was one of them!). He tired to mask his face the way his brother always did so that no one would see his shock, but he failed miserably, and it was obvious to everyone in the room.

"You must be a dumbass," Kageyama said with a deadpanned face.

"Like you can talk! You can't even tell the difference between red and orange!" Hinata snorted. In response, Kageyama grabbed his arm and twisted it sharply at an odd angle. Hinata tried to scream but nothing came out, and he rolled onto the floor in pain.

"Shut up!" Kageyama yelled before turning to the three kidnappers. Asahi hid behind Daichi and Suga was trying to tip toe away. "You three, how did this happen!? Didn't I even give you an address? How the hell did you manage to screw this up?" He kicked Hinata out of anger, knocking the wind out of him.

"Well, he did leave from the same address as the one you gave us, and the hair was close to red..." Suga said casually as he scratched the back of his neck.

Kageyama's eyes where practically on fire at the point. He stood on Hinata's left hand and crushed it with his heel. Hinata bit his lip to keep himself from crying out.

"Just get him out of my sight!" Kageyama spat. With that he did a 180 degree turn and stormed down the hall.

"Well that could have gone better," Daichi sighed. "Well, I'd better go and round up a few vampires to get the RIGHT one."

"Ah, good idea! Maybe I could come and help? My power makes human oblivious to what we're doing after all!" Suga chimed in. That explained why everyone just let him get kidnapped.

"No, Suga, you are staying and taking care of the mess you created. I don't need a bigger headache than I already have," Daichi commanded. Interestingly, his commands weren't cold like Akashi's, they were somehow affectionate.

Suga and Asahi then turned to Hinata as Daichi made his way down the hall and turned to a large oak door. Considering how friendly all of the vampires had been to each other, Hinata had expected that Kageyama was the only human hater. He was sorely mistaken. The remains two vampires looked at him like he was a decaying rat. Suga's nose even shriveled a bit.

"So what do we do with...THIS?" Asahi's voice was laced with discomfort.

"Hmm... I don't really know. Maybe we should drink him dry? He isn't we wanted anyways," Suga replied, nudging Hinata with his foot.

There was no way in hell Hinata was going to sit and be a good little hostage while these vampires planned to drink all of his blood. The vampires were behind him so he stood and quickly made a dash forward (granted his movements faltered a bit thanks to his broken left arm and hand). Hopefully there were only a few vampires in this place and he could find a window to escape easily. Hinata was so fast that his speed surpassed that of the vampires chasing him.

He ran down the hall untill he was in front of a small blue door. He opened the heavy door and saw that it was actually another corridor. There was so little light from the candles that hung on the walls that he couldn't see more than a few feet in from of him. Taking a deep breath, Hinata sprinted into the dimly lit hall and soon found himself lost in the maze like passage. As he ran, he eventually found himself in front a tall vampire with a face like that of a owl and spiky black and silver hair.

"Oi, watch where you're going," The man said. Then he sniffed the air, "you're human? Well what are you doing here?" The man demanded as he held Hinata's left wrist to keep him from running. The grip was downright painful. Hinata had to think fast, he didn't want to die so young!

"I'm your SUPER important hostage!" Hinata blurted out before he could think of something better.

"Really? I knew you were going to be short, but you really are a shrimp!" He laughed, "You look a little worse for wear. What are you doing back here?"

Before Hinata could answer, Suga and Asahi caught up.

"Bokuto, don't let him go, he ran from us!" Asahi panted out.

"Hey, hey, hey! You guys in charge of this?" Bokuto asked.

"Yeah, he ran off, even with a broken arm and hand. We expected him to be writhing in pain!" Asahi explained.

"Oh! But why would you wound him so much if he's the important hostage?" Bokuto questioned.

"Kageyama did that, it turns out he's the wrong hostage," Suga explained.

"Oya?" Bokuto said curiously as he looked down at Hinata. His eyes gleamed for a split second and his grip on Hinata's wrist tightened, making Hinata wince. "Well then, who is he?"

"We don't know. He just lives at the same house as the right hostage," Asahi replied. "We don't know what to do with him. Kageyama only told us to get him out of his sight."

"Hm, then, shouldn't we use him to get the real hostage to come? They live with each other, so maybe we can use that," Bokuto suggested. The other two shrugged. "Hey, hey! I am a master at solving problems!" In his boasting, Bokuto squeezed Hinata's arm hard enough for the pain cause him to black out.

The next thing Hinata knew, he was on a cold, dusty stone floor. He opened his eyes slightly, only to be welcomed by more darkness. Hinata then tried to move his arm and realized that it was heavier than before. There was a cast made out of cloth scraps around it.

The sound of a door creaking behind him made Hinata turn around. Light poured through the door to reveal what the room looked like. He was in a dull, gray, stone room. It was no larger than the size of car and was split in half by metal bars, giving Hinata no more than a two meter square of space. There was a bucket sitting next to the bars, probably to act as a toilet since the room was lacking in, well, everything. He clearly was in some sort of dungeon. On the other side of the bars was a small table and a large oak chair.

Hinata then turned his attention to person entering the dungeon. He had piercing golden eyes like those of a cat's, and yet surprisingly they held nothing in their gaze. His expression were unreadable. His hair was blonde, but his roots were brown. It reminded Hinata of pudding. He was carrying a plate and a candle.

"We don't have any resources to waste on humans, so you'll have to deal with what we're WILLING to give you," The boy said as he shut the door behind him and placed the candle on the small table.

"Who are you? Another vampire?" Hinata asked, slightly annoyed as his eyes adjusted to the light.

"Kenma, and everyone here is a vampire... Except you," He replied, pushing the plate through a slit at the bottom of the bars. Hinata looked at the plate. There were the remains of some animal, and it wasn't cooked. He looked up to see Kenma's face lit up by the light produced by a handheld game console.

"You know humans don't usually eat raw food, right?" Hinata commented. Kenma just kept on playing his game and gave a slight shake of his head.

"Guess not, since all you eat is blood!" Hinata huffed out as he crossed his arms. Kenma just nodded absentmindedly, entranced by his game. Hinata was about to kick away the food but his stomach growled. He then forced himself to sit down and at least attempt to eat the food. It wouldn't have tasted too bad if it weren't for the constant leaking of crimson liquid and the chewy taste. Once he was done, and fighting to keep it down, he kicked the plate back under the door. After that, they sat in silence until Hinata fell asleep, exhausted from his wounds.

Hinata woke up to the sound of his cell door creaking open.

"Shhhh! Quiet, or he'll find us!"one voice whispered.

"I know, I know! But I can't help a squeaky door," A different voice responded.

Hinata stilled, not knowing what was happening. He then felt a body bump against his leg, and another one almost stepped on his face. One of people who had come in then closed the door as the other sat down, right on top of Hinata's back.

"Hey, did someone put a cushion down here?" Asked the person on top of Hinata.

"Why would anyone?"

Hinata put together the fact that they weren't here for him, considering they didn't appear to know of his existence.

"Then, what am I sitting on?" The first voice asked, a little nervous. It started to get a little harder for Hinata to breathe, and in an attempt to get more air, he moved to roll the person off.

All of the sudden, the body on top of him jumped off. The door swung open before slamming shut again.

"W-w-what was th-that?"

"Was it a ghost?"

"I don't remember anyone dying in here recently."

"I don't know, but I'm lighting a candle."

"No, don't! What if Daichi finds us?"

"It'll be fine! I want to know what I was sitting on!" The voices argued, but eventually the candle was lit. Hinata saw a shorter boy with wild, spiky brown hair that had a blonde highlight in the middle. The other was taller and bald. He looked like a gangster.

They stared at Hinata as he sat up. They were confused, and the short one was about to open his mouth when they heard a voice from behind the dungeon door.

"Noya! Tanaka! Where are you! I need you to report on your mission!" Daichi's voice commanded. The two boys in the cell looked at each other and then at Hinata. They urgently and simultaneously played a finger on their lips. Hinata stayed quiet, he didn't want to know what these two would do if he didn't comply.

The footsteps passed and the two vampires let out a sigh.

"See Tanaka, I told you it would be fine!" The short one said. They smiled at each other before then turning back to Hinata.

"So, what's a human doing here?" Tanaka asked, sticking his chin out, ready for a fight.

"How did you know I was human?" Hinata asked nervously. This Tanaka guy didn't look friendly.

"Your blood smells, but we're the ones asking the questions here, human," The short one answered. Hinata assumed this was Noya. Hinata swallowed, the short one was almost just as frightening.

"I don't honestly know. I think I'm some sort of hostage right now," Hinata said curling his legs closer to himself and hugging them. It was a habit he had developed since he'd endured the abuse of his old home. When he felt threatened, he usually took on the fetus position.

"Thats right! We were just on a diplomatic mission to exchange you for the red head guy!" Tanaka remembered as Noya frowned at him. Hinata's eyes widened. They were talking about Akashi!

"What happened? Is he ok?" Hinata asked desperately.

"Hm, why?" They asked as if they knew nothing, which was probably the case. Their eyes reflecting on their annoyance with Hinata, a human, asking them, vampires, a question.

"He's my brother! I have to know he's OK!" Hinata begged.

"Well, we don't know. By the time we got there, the place was covered in blood and the guy was taken," Noya answered with his hand on his chin.

"Taken?" The word almost got stuck in Hinata's throat.

"Yeah. He was taken by our rival faction, Kuroko's faction," Tanaka said,and Noya nodded in agreement. Then, seeing Hinata tilt his head in confusion they elaborated,
"He's the Vampire King. He has a lot of strong Vampires."

Hinatas eyes widened in fear. Akashi had been captured by vampires. If Hinata thought that he had been treated badly, he couldn't imagine how much worse off Akashi would be with the one at the top. The king probably thought Akashi was an ant to be squashed at any time!

"This other vampire faction... What are they like?"

Tanaka and Noya then sat for the next hour explaining the war between the vampires, though eventually the talked turned into Noya and Tanaka praising their own combat prowess. The seemed to have forgotten they were talking to a human. Eventually the two thought about the time and decided to leave to give their report before even more vampires started looking for them.

Not long after they left, Kenma walked into the dungeon with a plate and a glass. He looked at the lit candle a little confused, but didn't question it. He pushed the plate and the glass between the slit. Hinata found a meal similar to yesterday's dinner on his plate.

"I'm going to get sick if you keep feeding me this... Meat," Hinata complained, unsure of what to call it. But Kenma simply sat there and kept playing his game. Hinata took in a huge breathe before mentally preparing himself to eat the food.

The door suddenly opened. Kuroo walked in and approached Kenma, "Oikawa wants you on the front lines today."

Kenma looked up for a minute and shook his head, "That's too much trouble."

Kuroo smirked as if Kenma's disobedience was normal.

"Ne, Kuroo, why don't you play video games with me?" Kenma asked.

"You know I suck at those games," he said, turning starting to leave. He got his hand on the door knob, and before he left, he added, "if you're going to sit in here all day, why don't you ask the human to play?" Then he left, and Kenma gave a vague nod in understanding.

Not long afterwards, Kenma's face scrunched up. He couldn't get past a level in his game. Eventually he got tired of it and he threw the console out of frustration. It bounced and skidded a little before landing inside Hinata's cell. Hinata looked at screen and upon recognizing it game, picked up the console. He looked up at Kenma to see what he would do but the vampire was too busy pouting to pay him any attention.

Hinata figured he could kill some time, since who knew how long he would be stuck here.

About half an hour later, Hinata cleared the level. He jumped up in excitement and felt so proud of himself. He finally felt eyes on him and turned around to see that Kenma was looking at him. Not in an angry way, but he was surprised. He then came over and grabbed and his game out of Hinata's hand to look closely at the screen. Shock colored his eyes as the "level cleared" sign proved not to be a trick or an illusion.

"How did you do that?" Kenma asked, still staring at the screen.

Hinata gave a little smile as he scratched the back of his head and shrugged. "Well, there's a trick to this game..."

The next two hours passed quickly as they sat there, playing the game and discussing tactics on the floor with the bars between them.

Eventually Kenma left to go "eat" his own "food". Hinata didn't really want to think about it too much.

Later that evening, Kenma came back and put down the usual plate and glass of water before leaving immediately. Hinata could've sworn he saw a slight blush on Kenma's face. Hinata looked down at the plate to find that this time it wasn't raw. It was half burnt, but nevertheless, the effort made Hinata smile a bit.

Later that day, Kageyama entered the dungeon with his eyes closed.

"I can calculate everything perfectly, human, so don't try anything. Turn around," Kageyama commanded. It scared Hinata, since he'd never expected Kageyama to come here, but he did as he was told. The next thing he knew, fangs were pressing against the skin on his neck, draining his life force until his legs wobbled. Then, Kageyama left without another word. Hinata guessed he was taking out him anger on him or something, but Hinata was too scared to openly question Kageyama, so he let it happen.

Days passed like that, and it was revealed that Suga was becoming the best at cooking food evenly. Kenma even gave him random things aside from meat every now and then. Afterwards they would then play video games and talk for hours with each other.

Hinata learned that none of the other vampires were interested in playing video games, so Kenma went to Hinata whenever he had free time. Kageyama rarely ever came to do "the thing" again. Noya and Tanaka also came to hide away in the dungeon every now and then to tell him about their most recent battles, how many they killed, and how close to their deaths they came. Somewhere along the line, they'd also explained the history of the Oikawa fact, which as it turned out was a group that was looking to change the world by taking over various vampire clans. The history, Hinata became familiar with, but the the ideals that surrounded that history remained unknown to him.

Hinata started to get along with the two, even if they still looked down on him and would still hit him if he said something out of turn or repeated a question they already said they weren't answering. In the end it amounted to nothing more than some bruises.

Suga even came in to give him food when Kenma was actually doing work (thought that wasn't often). At first Suga only spoke to Hinata kindly to ask why Kenma was spending so much time there and why he was even going so far as to ask Suga to cook. Hinata could never honestly answer. Hinata also learned Suga's inner mom was not something to be taken lightly.

After Suga stared to look into actual food, he also looked into human health. He came around at least once a day to check on Hinata's arm or to make sure their hostage was in good condition. He was often dragged away by either Daichi or Asahi to look over the injured vampires. He never asked about the bite mark on his, nor did anyone else. Hinata didn't actually know if they noticed it or not.

"So, where's Kageyama?" Hinata blurted out when Suga was placing real bandages on Hinata for the first time.

"He wants you out of his sight. But with how much people have been talking about you, it's obvious that he's jealous of how much time we spend with a human instead with him. Though to be honest we're really all just bored of ourselves, and you're simply something new," Suga replied before leaving.

A week or so later after Hinata had been kidnapped (he wasn't sure how much time had actually passed), Kenma was on the day shift, and Oikawa came down. He apparently was here to give Hinata his dinner.

"Iwa-chan has been awful lately!" Oikawa complained, "I tried talking to Kuroo-chan about it, but do you know what he said to me? 'Go bring food to the hostage! Kenma's busy!' Can you believe that! Here I am, pouring my heart out to this guy, and he just brushes me off! I was gonna go vent about it, to Iwa-chan, but I still haven't vented about him either, and I can't talk to him about himself!"

Hinata sat up in surprise. He'd never expected the leader of the clan to show up here. Here was the man who whose portrait decorated the entrance hall, and yet Hinata couldn't help but feel there some kind of disconnect between the confident, regal image on those walls and the whining child before him now.

"Ah right, here's your food," Oikawa haphazardly pushed the food through the slit. "So, as I was saying, Iwa-chan and I were planning our next offensive, and I suggested I go and eliminate the sixty or so guards stationed at the perimeter of this enemy camp, right? And then Akaashi's all like 'is that really possible?' because I'd have to get rid of them in less than five minutes, you know? Or else they'd sound an alarm. So then I'm about to explain how it'll go down, but then Iwa-chan talks first and is like 'this is Oikawa we're talking about here, of course he can do it,' and I'm about to be like 'aww, Iwa-chan!' But then! But! Then! He goes and says 'of course if you can't do it and we get discovered, you owe me a liter of virgin AB positive.' And it doesn't stop there! After that, Bokuto came up and was like 'I'll take a liter of A positive over a raw chicken breast.' And then everyone. Else. Freaking. Placed. An order. Iwa-chan can be such a meanie sometimes!" Oikawa crossed his arms as he angrily frowned at some space to his left.

"Wow..." Hinata responded. "I didn't know that subordinates could be like that to their boss."

"I KNOW! Would it kill them to show a little respect every now and then?! You have no idea how hard it is the be the leader at times like this..." Oikawa went on for about two hours before his responsibilities eventually called him back up from the dungeon.

Even more days passed with more vampires visits, now including Oikawa and his random rant sessions. One day, Kenma came down to the dungeon with two Nintendo 3DSs, as well as a bowl of warm stew. The two then proceeded to spend the next hour and a half playing Mario Kart 8 while discussing their favorite games.

"I have a lot of games in my private room, and a huge TV," Kenma said, still looking at the screen.

"Wow! That sounds like a lot of fun!" Hinata replied excitedly.

"Well, it's boring to play alone. Do you wanna come play with me?" Kenma asked, his eyes peaking out from over the top of his screen as he looked at Hinata with the eyes of a five year old child asking for a toy from the store.

"Yeah, if only I wasn't stuck in the cell!" Hinata joked.

"...True." Kenma responded as he turned his eyes back to the screen. The rest of the game was spent in silence before Kenma left.

The next morning, Kenma was late with breakfast. Oddly, when he did finally come, he had nothing in his hands. Instead, he opened the cell door and grabbed Hinata's hand to lead him out of the dungeon.

"Where are we going?" Hinata asked, surprised. The light outside of the prison was so bright, and the surrounding white walls only intensified the reflected light. Hinata had to cover his eyes to avoid being blinded, and Kenma didn't respond.

As his eyes started to adjust to the light, he found himself in a lavish room with a long, blue velvet rug over a floor that shone white and polished. The walls were painted with scenes depicting the past of the Oikawa faction that Noya and Tanaka had told him about in the dungeon. Each wall had a large door in the center of it, except for the wall in front of him, which instead had a tall staircase that led up to a gaudy looking throne made out of blue stone. On the throne sat none other than Oikawa, who was leaning on his right elbow with his legs crossed.

Standing next to him was a strong looking vampire who looked ready to fight anyone who dared to even look at Oikawa. Hinata assumed he was Iwaizumi.

Both vampires looked surprised at Kenma's sudden entrance.

"Well, Kenma, I didn't summon you, and even when I do summon you, half the time you don't come. What's different about today?" Oikawa asked, sitting up straighter.

"I want to keep this human as a pet!" Kenma declared. Everyone's eyes widened at Kenma's announcement. Even Hinata, who had heard him perfectly clearly, had to wonder if he'd processed the right words. Everyone in the room simultaneously thought the same thing (some even expressed the thought verbally). "Huh?"
