Disclamer: I don't own Digimon so sue me....Ok, don't take that seriously.
Anyway, I hope we all enjoyed our last chapter. I know I spelt Yamato's name wrong....it's my bad. Now, let's take a look
at...
The plot so far:

the man hanging from a rooftop, getting a serious hicky from a chick with fangs. Yamato runs into another blood sucking
psycho and is now a slave of the Vampires.
In this chapter:
Taichi and Sora are about to find themselfs in some serious shit. But make a new friend along the way.
Anyway, SomeguyY2k and DigiwarriorTaichi (finally) present:
Written in blood
Chapter 2:
Pardon me, but aren't you dead?
Noon
"So, you wanna come with me?" Jyou said from the park bench
"Nah, I got other stuff to do." Taichi said in reply, sitting on one of the swings. "I'm heading down to the police station
to see if they have a lead on what happened to Yamato yet." Taichi was silent for a bit. "Does Mimi know?"
Jyou sighed. "Nope, I was planing to tell her when she arrived, I wanted to see if wanted to come with me."
Taichi shook his head. "Sorry, but I gotta know what happend to Yamato. He wouldn't just run away without telling one of us."
Jyou placed his left hand to his chin. "Yeah," He said. "...I think he would. Yamato always kept things to himself. I don't
see why he wouldn't here. If you ask me, your giving him a little to much credit."
Taichi stood up. "Jyou, your a great guy and all, but for a guy who is sepposed to have the crest of reliability, you sure
have a funny way of showing it."
Jyou lifted his head up from pondering. "Taichi, don't get smart with me." Jyou said. "We all know Yamato is a secretive
kinda guy. You know just as well as I do that if something came up, Yamato would keep us all in the dark until it's to late."
Jyou closed his eyes and pondered again. "You should know that better then anybody. And so should I."
Taichi clenched his fist as it shook with anger. "I just don't see why he has to be that way. When is he gonna learn we have
to do things as a team? When is he gonna learn..."
"Shut up, Taichi." Jyou snapped.
Taichi's hazel eyes quickly shot a Jyou as he made that comment. "What did you just say to me, Jyou?"
"I said shut up." Jyou said. "Not everything is about the team, Taichi. There is no more team anymore. Just us. No more
Digidestined. We don't do things that way anymore. We don't think about saving the world. We have to think aboutour lives,
rather then fighting some kind of new evil. Were not little eleven-year-olds with fighting the forces of evil
anymore. Were sixteen-year-olds fighting the forces of everyday life. Your living in the past Taichi. Welcome to the now."
Taichi clenched his teeth and punched his fist into his hand. "I just don't see why HE can't live in the now."
Jyou, still in his pondering position, sighed. "The same reason you can't. Hes to used to the adventure. To used to being
alone. Maybe he ran away for both. Then agian maybe he has a good reason. Maybe he had a family incedent. Who knows? These
things happen. We don't know all the answers. I wish I did. After all, men aren't angels." Jyou opened his eyes and looked
into the sky, watching birds fly by the sun. "Not everyone with wings get's to be one."
Taichi raised an eyebrow. "Have you bine reading poetry again, Jyou? Cuz'I got no idea what your talking about."

Night fall
The Vampires fangs drew the girl's blood as they broke the skin of her neck with a sickening crunch. Slowly, he began to
drink the blood from her viens. Finally, he droped the doomed girl to his feet. Yamato wiped the blood from his demonic face
on the sleeve of his black shirt. His face was truly horrific. He looked like Yamato, with the exception of his blue eyes
being replaced with dark, crimson red ones, not to mention the fact that his face was pale and bloodless, and the fact that
he had fangs.
He wore black. Black Khakis and a black sleeve shirt. It was a button up shirt. It was all buttoned up except his chest,
revieled his tattoo. The tattoo had the symbole of the crest of friendship.
Another thing that was noticeable was his hands. They were no longer hands anymore. They were claws. Powerful, flesh ripping
claws.
Yamato loved his claws. With his claws he could kill a full grown Grizzly bear in one strike. Vampires didn't only hunt man.
They are, of course, safe from desease, but for countless years vampires have hunted animal and man alike. Out of all the
new assets to being a Vampire, Yamato loved his claws the most.
But in an instent, it all disapiered. He looked like regulair Yamato, hands and face. He was still dressed in his odd
looking outfit, but other then that, and the fact that his red eyes had changed to black, he looked normal. After wiping the
rest of the blood off his face, Yamato move over to a tree and began wiping his sleeve on the leaves. Yamato curse himself
for using his sleeve. Blood stains horribly on cloths, even if it was black. Crap, now he had it all over his hands. The
blood was all over his hands and the leaves on the branch. He was in serious shit with the police if they found his DNA in
the blood. He was presumed missing, and that's the way he wanted to stay. Grabbing the branch with one hand, he effortlessly
riped the branch from the tree. Yamato steped over the dead blond he had just killed and headed to the river. How carless of
people these days. They take a walk along the river, not once thinking what might be in the bushes. Mortals are so ignorent.
Yamato put a foot in the river, and smiled at what he was seeing. It looked like a branch was flowting in the air by itself.
One could see intresting things when he had no reflexion. Just then, a hand clasp on his shoulder, making him jump. Yamato
turned his head in anger, knowing who it was.
"Maya!!!" Yamato yelled to the long haired red-headed Vampire. "Would ya stop doin' that???"
"Awwww, did I scare little Yamato?" She said in a childs voice.
"Well, yeah!" Yamato said. "You would when you just killed your prey. Who knows who else might want it? Animals, Vampires,
You?"
"Oh please," Maya said. "I think I'm a little more mature then THAT!"
"Yeah, sure, miss "I-like-to-rip-my-preys-stomach-out-before-eating-it?" God, I almost pucked when you did that."
"That scared you?" Maya said, as if it surprised her. "The master chose a weakling like YOU to be part of his piramide? You
have to be kidding me!"
"That didn't bother me as much as what you did to the rest of him. God, remeber what you did to his teeth?!? He was still
alive when you did that thing with the eyes..."
"Shut up, you pig!"
"Look, will you just go away? I'm trying to cover up some evidents!"
"Why, do you fear the police? Think they might get you?" Mya said mockingly.
"My mortal friends think I'm missing," Yamato said "I want to keep it that way, at least for now."
"Why, do you still care for them?" Maya said mocking him agian.
"No, you primitive screwhead" Yamato said. "I'm supposed to be missing, if they find out I'm alive, they might go looking
for me. I don't want them to know just yet, ok?"
"Ok, ok! Don't have a spaz!" Maya said defensively. "What are you ganna do with the dead girl?"
Yamato droped the branche into the water as it flowed away in the current. He watched it and smiled. "I have an idea for
those police to try and figure out." He said, pulling a rose out from his pocket. "Of course, they will probably say it
was some kind of wild animal. Of course, most wild animals don't leave flowers on ther victimes."
Yamato sliped the flower into the girls dead, lifeless hands. Then with hardly any effort, pushed the body into the current
of the river, as the body slowly sank.
"48 hours." Yamato said. "That's how long she'll take to surface when she reaches the lake." Yamato's fangs glisend as he
smiled as the crackling of lighting blazed throught the air. "Let's go." Maya said, worried. "Thunder scares me."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His name is Tony Gargan.
"Perfect." Tony said. "Right in the middle of a storm." Tony sighed as he walked down the streets of Tokyo. "I should have
stayed in california. Maybe I should have gone mano-a-mano with Perrikus after all."
Tony Gargan was never really a stupid person. The agian, most aren't. But, also, like most people, he made a mistake. A
mistake that could cost him his life. He didn't really mean what he said about Perrikus. He just really hated the rain for
one, painful reason.
It burned.
Tony felt as it burned his flesh as he walked through it. He had a certain...condition that made water burn on his flesh, but
the truth was, it didn't really burn, It only felt like it. It was only due to Tony's condition that it felt that way. Aside
from that, he wasn't really dressed for rain ether. A black leather jacket and a pair of blue jeans were hardly what one
would call rain gear.
Even if Tony didn't faint from the pain, the cold would get him. He pitifuly cluched himself in order to keep warm. Right
now, the one thing Tony wanted was to find shelter. Tony tried to look for a hotel or something, but he could barely see
a inch in front of him, because of the dark. It was dark and rainy and he was in pain. He had to think of some way to find
shelter, which looked like he was gonna have to find a dumster or abandoned building...
No. The abandoned building was to dangerouse. He didn't want to find himself walking into the middle of some nest. His type
are the night type. But in the rain, it wouldn't really be a good time to go out, and he didn't wanna walk in somewhere
where a bunch of them are trying to injoy themselves. So, it looks like it's the gutter for him...
Suddenly, a sharp pain attacked Tony like a knife percing the flesh. Tony fell on the pavement as he howled in pain. he roled
over on his back as he cluched his stomach.
He was Hungry.
Crap, this was incredibly inconvienient. Hes in the middle of a city he dosn't even know, with no money, shelter OR
rain coat! On top of that, he was hungry. Tony didn't get hungry often, but when he did, his insides would rip at him, like
a animal trying to rip out, demanding food in order to keep it alive...
Tony mentaly told himself "No. Fight the cravings." He continued to repeat it. As soon as the storm was over, he'd go and
find something. Anything. There was a hospital in this city. As soon as he could, he'd go there. Slowly, Tony got up to his
feet. Perfect, now not only were his cloth's wet, they were dirty, to.
As Tony stood up he heard someone speak.
"Hey buddy, got the time?"
The sky flashed with a bolt of lightning. within that short moment of light, Tony saw who had said that. Tony curse himself.
Fuck.
A gang. At least seven of them, all armed. No firearms, though. Just switch blades, chains, baseball bats, steel pips. The
typical gang stuff. Tony focused now. Really, he had incredible night vision, but the pain had fogged it so he couldn't
change his vision from light ot dark. Tony mumbled something incoherently, and then spoke.
"Listen, you guys..." He said. "I really don't want any trouble..."
"Well, trouble found you, little man." The obviouse "leader" said, swinging a chain around. "Now, be kind, and give to the
poor."
"Sorry guys, I don't have any money..." Tony began to say, but the leader cut him off by grabbing him by the jacket. Quickly,
the leader brought him in the ally and slamed him agenst the wall.
"Don't gimme any of the crap, punk!" The gang leader said. "You sonvabitch kids these days are always getting spoiled with
money, so you gotta have some!"
"Look, you guys..." Tony began to say, but then a voice cut him off.
"Leave him alone, scum." The voice said. The whole gang turned around to the voices.
The gang leader let Tony go and turned around to the voice. "What did you just say to me?"
Tony turned to see him, too. It was teenager. Maybe sixteen or seventeen. He had massive brown hair, like a main on a lion.
only on his head. He was a handsome, athletic looking boy with chocalate brown eyes. Actually, his eye color was a bit
mysterious, maybe hazel...
"I said leave him alone, scum." The teen said again.
"Taichi, don't!" Said a red-headed girl, running from behind him with a umbrella. She was an a very pretty girl. Short red
hair and saphire red eyes. If you looked hard enough, the eyes actually looked like two glimmering saphires.
"Look, 'Taichi'," The punk said "...as far as I know, I don't have any busness with you. Unless you think you can imatate
spider-man or something, I suggest you walk away now. If you don't we might have to hurt that delicate prize you got there."
he pointed at Sora.
"Taichi, please, do as he says." The girl said. The boy looked at the ground, as if trying to make some kind of desion.
"Taichi, I don't want you getting hurt." The girl said, tugging his arm. But he shook her off. Then he made his way forward
to the gang leader. the girl called for him to come back, but he ingnored her and continued to walk forward as the gang
members got out of the way, as eatch of them echanged nasty glances at eatch other. Finally, the boy called Taichi stoped
in front of the gang leader. Then, Taichi put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a wallet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Look," Taichi said, pulling out bills of money. "I'll give you...60 bucks to let this guy go."
The gang leader snached the money from Taichi's fingers and examend it. Taichi waited attentivley to see what the reply
would be. That's when Taichi noticed one of the gang members hovering over his shoulder.
Taichi snapped his head back and push the gang member away. "Back off!" He shouted. The gang member did that, but
not before giving him a mocking glance that said "Oh, big man." Taichi shrugged it off and listend when the gang member
spoke.
"I guess I'd be willing to let him go, but it'll cost you more." He said.
"Yeah," Said the gang member who had bine bugging Taichi before. "How about the girl?"
Taichi spun around. "You looking for a problem?" He said.
The gang member grined. "I found you, didn't I?"
Taichi finally gave into his anger and with a powerful shove sent the gang member back into four others. A broke out
between to two. The gang member tried to hit Taichi with a steel pipe, but Taichi managed to dodge. Before Taichi could
prepare himself, he felt a swift blow to the back, and before he knew it he was down and getting clobberd. But just before
Taichi was about to loose consiousness, he heard the screaming of a very familiar voice as it broke through the crowed. He
felt a very familair touche as he tried to get his bearings, and looked to see the person holding him, even though, of course,
he already knew.
Sora was down on her knees, with one hand on Taichi, and the other hand in pointing out in a stop positon. In fact, she was
saying that right now.
"Please, stop! Don't hurt him!" Unfortunetly, it didn't look as if that was gonna stop the gang from beating the hell out
of her, to. But then, there was screaming from the back. The gang members looked back to see what it was, and some started
shouting, apparently, Taichi and Sora were the least of there worries. Some of the gang moved toward the noise, others ran
away. Sora then saw it:
It was the man they were saving, only with fangs, red eyes, and large, powerful claws. three of the gang members had run
away, but four had remained, including the gang leader.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the gang members with a switch blade ran at Tony, but in an instent a powerful fist sned him flying into a brick wall.
Two others ran a him, but soon found themsleves with there partner. All that was left was the leader. The leader looked
at his fallen comrades. In less then a second, he was running. But before he could even get a five feet away, Tony was
already in front of him. The leader tried the other way, but once again, Tony had alrady lept in front of him. As the gang
leader tried the other way again, the monsterouse claw grabed him by the neck.
With incredible strenght, Tony picked the leader up by the neck, and snarled at him. Then, taking the leader down to ground
level, Tony fliped the leader hea back, revieling the massive blood viens in the neck, and with a sickening crunch, sunk his
fangs in the leaders neck. Lightning flashed in the sky, making the it even more frightening. Suddenly, a glimmer of
sympathy was shown in the vampires eyes, as he put the gang leader down. The gang leader, still alive, scrambled to his
feet, and began running away, screaming like a madman.
Tony looked at his hands, panting. Blood still on his lips. The in an instant, the wind blew harder, and the rain did too.
Tony shook his head. In an instent, he looked like normal Tony Gargan. His claws were hands again. But the blood was still
on his lips, and his hands. Tony began to back away, when suddenly the pain in his gut struck him again, as if punishing
him for not killing his prey. Tony fell to his knees, cluching his stomach and cried out, as lightning lit the sky once
more...
