Sweet Blood.

"Ok I'll admit this.I'm not entirely human...What you think I came up with the name Shinigami on my own?No,thats what I use to be called in the early days of my life.no wait..I was called that in the early days of my vampire life.It was so long ago.The gang:Wufei,Trowa and his lover,my best friend,Quatre know about the Maxwell Church massacure,but only Quatre knows it was over 200 years ago.You think I'm crazy?Maybe I am,but...just call me Duo."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*



He hated myself.Here he was prowling the streets again for an unsuspecting victim.No one could resist him,male or female.Duo heard footsteps behind him and smiled.

'I've found my prey.'



"What's a pre'y thing like ou doing out ere,"The husky voice asked behind Duo.

'He's drunk.He won't taste as sweet,but I'll play along.'

"Me?I'm just out for a walk,"Duo played innocently.

'Out for a walk indeed.'

"Looks like you're lost,"The man replied.

"A little,"Duo answered,laughing on the inside at his prey.

"Let me help you find your way,"The man snikered advancing towards the braided boy.He got close enought for Duo to smell the alcohol on his breath before he asked,"What's your name pre'y thing?"

"Shinigami,"Duo/Shinigami smiled showing his fangs,the man's death.

"You're!...You're not human,"The man pointed backing away.

"Not quite,"Shinigami smiled advancing towards him.

"Stay away from me,"The man warned.

"I think you've got this turned mixed around.You invited yourself into this,"Shinigami sneered grabbing the fat man's face and raking a long finger nail acroos his cheek.

"Monster,"The man whispered starring into violet eyes as his head was tilted to the side.

"Far from it,"Shinigami answered sinking his fangs into the man's neck and drinking the tainted,life giving essence,sweet blood.

Shinigami stopped filling his ever present hunger and dropped the man to the ground before he was completly dead.

"One less rapist for people to worry about,"Shinigami laughed wipping the blood from his chin.

'Time to go home.'Duo thought looking at his watch,9:00am.

'Condradicting popular belief I can walk in daylight,but after a meal I'm usually tired.I don't sleep in a coffin,cursed Hollywood writers have condemed vampires to be ugly and plauged.We can't be killed by steaks in the heart;garlic and crusifixes don't harm us,we have reflections at night and sleep in beds.In my opinion we are beautiful,but what makes us different from humans?We are undead,immortal,and posses different pwers.The power varies for everyone,it fits their lifestyle.I unfortunatly have the power to see one's soul.Know who they are and who they'll become.It can hurt like hell if I'm not careful with this gift.Quatre,Trowa's lover,has a smililar gift and understands me most of the time.So many people I've killed were beautiful inside and out.I killed a pretty little girl once who was about 12,she just wanted to be a lawyer and make her family proud.I didn't know until it was to late and she was dying in my arms.Nowadays I'll kill black hearted people.Like the man in the alley.Their blood tastes sweet,strangely enough,its addicting like a fine brandy,but if push came to shove I'd kill someone like that girl again.Monster am I?Far worse.But...what can kill such a creature?Dead blood.You drink from a victum and the heard stops....The dead will take you with them.Well thats the case with humans.I've never had anything else.Quatre once survived on mice,dogs,birds so many I've lost count of what.He's the only one I can really talk to considering he's the only one I know to be like myself.'



"Hey Duo,"A voice calls out.Duo turned from staring at the wall infront of him to see a petit blonde waving at him.

"Hey Quatre,"Duo said walking up to him.

"Come with me.I want you to meet Trowa's brother,"Quatre giggled.

'Duo is my "human name"if you didn't know already.Couldn't go around as Shinigami the whole time.

"Quatre I told you not to try and hook me up with someone.You remember what happened to Hilde,"Duo sighed following Quatre.



"Yeah.Isn't she still missing,"Quatre giggled again.

"Yeah,"Duo chuckled.

'Ok I scared the girl to death.I didn't do it on purpose,but the maid was annoying and I killed her.Hilde unfortunatly saw the whole thing.She ran from me and hasn't been found since.Oh well,I never really liked her anyway.'



"Any way Duo,you'll like this guy.He's kinda quiet though,but if Trowa wasn't the love of my life I'd jump his brother in a heart beat,"Quatre laughed as we neared Quatre's and my home.

"Trowa I'm back,"QUatre yelled,the sound echoing off the house's walls.

"Upstairs,"Came the reply.

"Come on Duo!You'll love this guy,"Quatre said grabbing Duo's arm and dragging him up the massive stair case.

"I've never loved anyone.What makes you think I will now,"Duo sighed.Quatre stopped dead in his tracks.

"What about your creater?You loved him,"Quatre glared.

"He left me Quatre.Thats not love,"Duo sighed felling a lump form in his throat.

"Look Duo.I'm sorry for bringing it up,but just give this new guy a chance,"Quatre sighed continuing to drag Duo up towards the upstairs living room.They walked into caos.Torwa had a boy locked in a head lock and Wufei was slapping his hand on the ground like a refferee.



"17,18,19,20!You're out of here,"Wufei yelled.

"Thats the first time ever Tro.Don't let it go to your head,"The boy said standing up and straighting his clothes out.

"Bummer Duo,we missed out on the fun,"Quatre laughed.Duo just nodded and leaned against the door frame watching this new boy.He had dark chocolate brown hair,tall,built,tanned.He didn't look related to Torwa.The boy wore black pants and a midnight blue shirt.

"Duo,this is my step brother Heero,"Trowa introduced.Heero looked up at Dip with unreal blue eyes.Duo's breath caught in his throat,their eyes met and Duo's body unwillingly tensed as he read Heero's soul.



'Beautiful,golden glow.An angel?Tears?His soul weeps?A crying heart explains that.A hidden love for the night.Darkness.His soul lacks a part.He's searching for a soul-mate?Beautiful and Dark.'

Duo gasped slightly coming back into his own head.His eyes still locked with Heero's.

'If I could have one taste...'Duo's thoughts were cut as Quatre layed a hand on Duo's shoulder.



"Not this one Shinigami,"Quatre whispered.Duo rolled his eyes and nodded.

"Where are you from,Heero,"Duo asked fully entering the room.

"Los Angelas,"Heero answered.

"I've benn there once.Just passing through though,"Duo shrugged sitting down on one of the black leather couches.

"What'd you think,"Heero asked.

"Its a nice place,"Duo smiled,suddenly wishing for his bed still exhausted from his feeding.

"Sorry you guys,but I need to get some sleep.I'm trashed,"Duo said standing back up.

"See you later,Duo,"Trowa said as Duo walked to the living room door and turned to see Heero's eyes again.

'Beautiful,'Duo thought leaving the room and walking down the hall to his room.
