When he dreamed he saw scared faces and blood. His monster would take over; there would be nothing but destruction in his wake. The dark edges in his tunnel vision never let him see the pain that crossed his victims' faces. A child, a young teacher, Ran.

Ran. He could still remember the day she had come to him when he was weak. How his monster, his inner demon, took control when the thirst became too much. When he came to, her broken body was lying in front of him, her throat bared and showing off the bleeding holes. That was the day he'd broken, the day he started to taunt the hunters openly. When his darkness turned him reckless but that had consequences too.

He'd known it was bad when Sonoko had found him. He knew that she blamed him for Ran's death almost as much as he did so he didn't run when she screamed at him, threatening things that normal people (mortal, oh so mortal) would fear. Death, prison, police, revenge. He knew she would scream herself out and dissolve into tears. He hoped to comfort her, to tell her how much he hated himself for what he'd done. He wanted to tell her what he was! But the hunters hadn't allowed him that either.

They had come out of the trees telling him to surrender the girl and to put his hands up. Sonoko had been so confused when he'd stepped away, blurring before vanishing like an illusion. Then the hunters took her.

She was never heard from again.

But now there was another he dreamed of.

Kaito. Beautiful, kind, flawless Kaito. Whose scent was everything that was right with the world. This wonderful boy who hadn't pushed him away when he'd been told what he was. This boy (selfless, graceful, sweet) who had offered him whatever he could give. His blood, his love, himself; anything that he had that this horrible monster wanted he would give.

And he'd taken it. That everything that this magical boy had offered he'd taken and coveted to himself.

But now those dreams, rather those memories, that had starred Ran and Sonoko now held only Kaito. Kaito dead, broken, and white on the floor with his hands covered in the boy's blood. Kaito being taken by those hunters in black never to be heard from again.

The worst dreams didn't have any gore though. The dreams that haunted him the most were him and Kaito wrapped around each other with his fangs (that could rip through steel, which could maim and destroy) in the boy's neck. He would pull away to share a smile with him, with his beautiful magician, then he would watch as the boy closed his eyes to sleep. But when he tried to wake him, when he tried to see those gorgeous indigo eyes that could peer straight into his soul, he would find that he couldn't. He would realize what he had done and would clutch the body to him, staring into his face only to see that content little smile that now looked so very mocking.

When he had those dreams he would wake up screaming with tears trailing down his face. He would cradle his face in his hands and pray that it was just a dream. Then Kaito, his gentle, loving Kaito, would hold him and comfort him. His magician would share his warmth and whisper loving words in his ear, calming him and lulling him back to sleep.

Kaito would sing his monster (Kaito's tormented, honorable, soft little monster) to sleep and Shinichi would bless his lucky stars that this amazing creature had chosen him to trap him, to cage him.

And when the wave of dark unconsciousness hit him again there would be no images to torment him, those horrible phantoms chased away by his love's lilting voice.

Another of the ImmortalVampire'verse! It really got dark but I think it shows Vampire!Shinichi's guilt better than the other two. (Also sorry about my sporadic posting *sheepish laugh*)

Poison: That's a lot of emotion in there.

Hoshi: The angst! It's overwhelming

Hua: Not really…

Sketchy: When is this in the story?

Well, since this is a drabble series I thought I'd just do little exerts from the 'verses without having a storyline because I don't want to ruin the actual stories when I write and post them.

Poison: *mutters* If you ever write them…

Hey! I started on my Forever'verse already… *pouts*

Sketchy: Sweetly put the summaries of the stories she wants to write in her profile along with the statuses/in progresses.

Also, thanks to those of you who have reviewed:
