Hahaha! I got off my lazy ass and rewrote the chapter. I know it's short and there's not all that much plot development yet, but think of it as a promise to come.
I, KATHLEEN THE OF FIRE, PROMISE TO TRY MY HARDEST TO WRITE MORE ON THIS HE'V'N-BLASTED THING!
Voila!

Of the Vampires chapter 3 (^_____^)
Duo watched from a distance as Quatre bowed his head over the grave of his family, staying a ways back. The smaller boy's lips moved in silent prayer and he placed a hand on the tombstone before setting a bouquet of flowers down and moving back.
The brunette grinned widely at the younger vampire, wrapping an arm around his friend. "Shall we leave?" he asked happily. "All these dead people are giving me the creeps," he added before laughing loudly in an attempt to ease the tension.
Quatre forced a small smile before shaking off the grip and stepping back. "I miss them, Duo," he said sincerely. "I really wish that this hadn't happened."
Duo felt a pang of guilt. 'Perhaps I shouldn't have brought Quatre into this,' he thought sadly.
The blonde was once again looking at the tombstone, brushing his fingertips lightly over the inscriptions.
Duo hesitated for a minute before gripping his companion's arm and spinning him around. He looked into the deep blue eyes for a minute before pressing their lips together in an impromptu kiss.
Quatre gaped at him, looking remarkably fish-like, before blushing a bright red. "What was that for?"
"Just because, Quatre," Duo laughed, and dragged the blonde back, away from his old life.
Another drunken man lurched by, reaching out for Quatre as he went. Duo hissed, showing his fangs widely in distaste.
"Is it not unwise to reveal yourself like that in public?" a quiet, cultured voice asked from behind them.
Duo turned part ways to glance at a slim, dark haired Asian teen. Glancing the speaker up and down quickly, he took the time to note the fact that the boy's eyes were wiser than his body was old, and he stood with the hidden grace of a hunting animal.
"I suppose so," he sniffed defiantly, swinging his braid over his shoulder. "But what's it to you?"
"I suppose it might be something to me if your little show ruined my cover," the boy said wryly, tilting his head to the side.
"Your cover?" Quatre asked curiously, but the Asian was already walking away.
"Wait!" Duo called, and the boy glanced back carelessly.
"Why don't you follow?"
Quatre glanced around the darkened room, peeping curiously into the coffin in the corner and the various drawers before returning to watch Duo pace. "It's almost sunrise, where is he?" Duo snapped angrily.
The door creaked open slowly and Wufei strode back in, brow creased heavily. "I was unable to find Heero," he announced angrily. "I suppose he has gone off to try and get himself caught again, the fool."
"Heero?" Quatre asked, feeling only mildly frustrated that most of his speech was in the form of questions.
"Yes, my creator, Heero Yuy. He has a strange tendency to go off and wander, or try to get himself caught by humans," Wufei fumed. "One of these days he will get himself killed."
Duo's chuckles echoed briefly in the empty room before he sighed, shaking his head. "Just forget it," he grumbled when the other boys glanced over to him.
Wufei shut the door at last, twitching a curtain shut against the soon-to-rise sun. "Where are my manners?" he asked himself. "I must invite you to spend the night here while we wait for Heero to return."
Duo grinned, springing for the coffin and lifting the lid. "After you," he chortled, mimicking stuffiness.
Wufei rolled his eyes before climbing into the farthest corner of the unpadded, simple coffin. Quatre slipped in as well, and Duo closed the lid on top of them.
"Quatre? Wu-man?"
"Yes, Duo?"
"My name is Wufei."
"Goodnight, guys."
"'Night, Duo."
"Go to sleep."
