Heero slouched down in the booth, he slowly sipped the water that had been placed before him. Glancing down at the menu he held in one hand, he gestured for the waiter. The waiter arrived, note pad in hand.
Are you ready to order? He held up his pen, ready to begin writing.
Heero looked up at the young waiter, I think I'll have a BLT.
All right, the waiter nodded, writing down the order.
Heero looked back down at the menu, Would it be possible for you to take out the lettuce and replace it with avocado?
The waiter again nodded,
Oh, and can I get a beer? Heero scanned the list of brands.
Do you have an ID? The waiter asked.
Heero took out his wallet, then pulled out his license. His license was of course fake.
The waiter took the license and quickly read the information, O.K. Do you want it now or with your meal?
Heero took back his license, With my meal will be fine.
The waiter left, leaving Heero alone again. Heero reached into the backpack beside him, pulling out a note pad. He placed it on to the table, then pulling out a pen he began to write. He wrote the names of a few of the places he had visited in the city. Then beside them wrote uneventful.'
When his meal came he set aside the note pad and began to eat. Just as he was finishing the last bite a boy with a long braid sat down across from him. The boy grabbed the note pad and flipped through a couple of the pages.
Heero glared at the other boy, please put that down.
Duo laughed and tossed the note pad back onto the table, No luck either?
Heero shook his head, I've searched nearly everywhere on my list, and nothing.
I know what you mean, Duo nodded, I've found a few traces here and there, but on a whole, it seems not to even feed.
You saw the body at the morgue, Heero pointed out, There was definitely a lot of blood loss, but no wounds. There can only be one thing that causes that.
Well, It's sure doing a good job of hiding. Duo sighed, If this keeps up we may never find it.
We can always hope that the others have had better luck, Heero drank the last of his beer.
I guess, Duo agreed, With luck they may have already killed it.
One can always hope, Heero stood, putting the note pad and pen back into his bag. I need to get going, he tossed some money on the table for his meal. See ya.
Duo stood up also, I'll come with you.
Heero looked down at the other boy.
I don't have anything else to do, Duo followed Heero from the restaurant.
Lucky me, Heero mumbled as they left the building.

Serena had decided to spend the day at home. She didn't need to hunt that day and she had no pressing matters to attend to, so she opted to stay home and read all day. She was beginning to get board of the book she was reading though. She finished the chapter she was on then stuck a scrap of paper in the book to mark her spot. She tossed the book onto her bed and walked out to the kitchen.
She pulled open her empty cupboards looking for anything to occupy her. When she realized she had absolutely nothing in her entire house she decided she had to go out even if it was only for supplies. She quickly showered and changed into a clean pair of jeans and a red T-shirt. She brushed out her long blond hair and put them up into their normal buns, hair streaming down behind her.
She turned off all of the lights in the apartment before leaving, locking the door behind her. She climbed into her silver Dodge pickup and pulled out of the parking lot in front of the apartment building. She switched on the radio, glancing at the clock, 8:00pm, as she turned onto the main road. Avril Lavigne was on, Serena smiled as she sung along with Sk8er Boy. The song ended and she turned the radio off, they had just announced Emmenim's new song. When will they stop playing that garbage?' She thought as she pulled onto the freeway.
She drove until she reached the exit that led to the downtown area. She pulled into the parking garage she had previously used. Finding a vacant space, she parked. She sat in the car for a moment before turning it off. She climbed out of the truck, locking the door before slamming it shut. She left the parking structure as she tried to figure out where she wanted to shop.
She was glancing through store windows when a restaurant caught her eye. She paused in front of it for a minute. As she was entering two boys where leaving, she glanced at the boys, noting ones long braid. She stared at the other boy for a little longer, He looks very familiar. She shrugged it off and entered the restaurant.
She waited to be seated, then ordered a glass of cranberry juice. She began sipping the bitter liquid as she watched the people around her. As she was setting the glass down a young girl sat down across from her.
Hello, Mother, the girl grinned at Serena.
Serena gasped.
Nice to see you to, Mother, Rini laughed.
Where have you been? Serena felt like crying.
Rini smiled, I've seen a few of your underlings lurking around. They haven't seen me.
I know, Serena shook her head, They would have contacted me if they had.
I'm sure they would have, Rini looked over at Serena insolently, Your little pets would do anything you order, wouldn't they?
They aren't my pets, Serena glared at Rini, They are my friends, and they used to be yours.
Used to be, being the operative word. Rini snarled, They used to be my friends, at least until they betrayed me with their lies.
They never lied to you! Serena cried, They have always done their best to be your friend. They have always told you the truth to any question you've asked.
They never told me how much I would suffer in this form, Rini looked down at her hands, They never told me how horrible it would be to be banished from the daylight. How I would never be able to just wake one morning and watch the sun rise.
You didn't stay long enough for us to tell you everything. Serena sighed, We tried to tell you everything, but we where all still learning ourselves.
Then why did you, Rini spat, a mere apprentice in the dark blood, give this curse to me? You knew nothing about the horrors that came with the and yet you felt you could bestow it onto others.
I may not have known everything at the time in which I made you, Serena looked into Rini's eyes, but I know a lot more now. I also know it is not a curse.
Well, that just means you have been lucky, Rini mumbled, You didn't have the same problems I did. You didn't have to deal with the disdain those around you felt. You didn't have to deal with the fear in their eyes.
You wouldn't have had to either, Serena reached out to take Rini's hand, if you had just stayed with us.
Rini pulled her hand away, No, I still would have had to watch your little servants fawn all over you. I couldn't have dealt with that disgusting sight.
They never- Serena began.
You just never saw it. Rini stood up, I see I am still not welcome in your little court. So I will leave.
Serena stood also, You have always been wanted in my life, I have always wanted you by my side.
Rini turned and walked from the restaurant.
Serena ran after her, but as she reached the door Rini was no where in sight, Serena called, Rini, please come back.
When no reply came Serena walked back inside the building, I'm sorry. She mumbled to the waitress, handing her the money for the juice.
It's all right, the waitress smiled, My younger sister is a handful too.
Serena accepted her change. Rini can be a real handful.

Heero looked back as he and Duo walked down the street. That girl-' He turned to get a better look, but she had already entered the restaurant.
Duo poked Heero in the arm, you all right?
Heero took a last look after the girl before turning back to Duo, I'm fine, it's just...
That girl? Duo looked up at the other boy.
Heero answered, not thinking.
You think that girl is cute! Duo giggled, I can't believe it! Mr. No Emotions thinks a girl is cute! We have to go back and get her number.
Heero resisted the strong urge to agree, We are not going back in there. We don't have time to chase girls.
Maybe you don't, Duo grinned, turning to walk back.
Heero grabbed Duo's sleeve, You don't either.
Duo grumbled, Yes, Oh mighty master.
Stop it, Heero shoved the other boy, Don't act like such a child.
You're no fun, Duo pouted, but I guess you're right. We are working on a case right now, and don't really have the time or energy for girls.
Heero nodded. Maybe......'
As they continued weaving their way through the crowds a green Suburban pulled up next to them.
Hey, Heero, Duo! One of the windows rolled down, Want a ride?
Heero looked up at the boy hanging out of the window, Sure, Quatre.
Wow, great timing! Duo exclaimed as he and Heero climbed up onto the running board and into the large vehicle.
We try, Quatre laughed.
So, any luck? Duo leaned back against the leather seat.
Quatre looked down glumly, Neither Wufei nor Trowa could find any sign of the creature.
Duo sat up sharply, No one found anything?
I take it no luck on your part either, Wufei looked back at Duo from his seat in the middle row.
Well, a few people remembered something strange, Duo leaned back again, But no definite findings.
This is not normal, Trowa added from the drivers seat, Every other vampire we have hunted has left a trail of carnage. Why hasn't this one?
Who knows? Quatre stared blankly at the road ahead, Maybe it's just better at disguising it's kills.
Wufei shook his head, but most don't care. They usually like having people live in fear. They enjoy killing those who would be noticed. They want to cause a stir.
We'll see when the time comes, Duo looked out the window, There have been a lot of unexplained deaths in the area.
When we do catch it, Wufei slammed his fist into his hand, I don't plan to give it time to answer any of these questions.
Trowa nodded as they pulled up in front of their apartment building. As he turned of the car he glanced at their neighbors parking space. Hmm, a little late to be out.' He slammed the car door. He had yet to meet their neighbor, but knew that whoever they where they owned a very nice Dodge truck.
Quatre climbed from the passenger side of the Suburban, glancing down at his watch. Wow! It's late. I hadn't realized we had been out so long.
Duo reached out and grabbed Quatre's wrist, looking down at the other boys watch, One thirty! Oh no! Quatre, it's way past your bed time! he laughed, dropping the other boys arm.
Stop it! Quatre pushed Duo, Don't be so mean.
Trowa put his arm over Quatre's shoulder, Come on, I'll get your bed all made up. He led the yawning boy up the stairs to the second story.
See, told you it was past his bed time. Duo whispered to Heero as the other boy walked past.
Be quite, Heero followed the other two boys up the stairs.
Duo sighed, looking back at Wufei he ran to catch up with Heero. Don't leave me alone with that psycho!
Wufei growled, pulling out the sword he carried on his back, Don't talk so disrespectfully! He began to chase after Duo.
Duo ran up the steps, shoving past Trowa and Quatre, Save me!
Wufei rushed up the stairs after Duo, I'm going to chop off that braid, you little brat. he shouted as he ran. As he reached the top of the steps he paused, a truck was pulling into the parking lot and it's headlights where shining directly on the group. Quickly sheathing the sword, he calmly walked up the stairs.
Heero watched as the truck pulled in next to their Suburban. The headlights flipped off and the engine stopped. He was about to turn and walk into the now open apartment, when the trucks door opened and a young girl stepped out.
Hey! Isn't that the girl from earlier? Duo said, looking over the railing.
What girl? Wufei asked, also looking down.
Just some girl Heero thought was cute. Duo whispered.
Heero thought that weak girl was cute? Wufei looked down at where Heero stood.
Trowa led Quatre up the remaining stairs, Can someone get the door? he asked, practically carrying the other boy.
Duo dashed to the door, unlocking it he swung it open, There you go!
Trowa gently pushed Quatre toward the open doorway as Duo ran back to watch the girl.
Heero was watching the girl approach, It's her! The same girl from earlier!'
The girl greeted him, Your getting in a bit late, aren't you?
Heero blushed before stammering something incoherent.
What did he just say? Wufei stared down, shocked, at Heero.
Something about, wild rabbits, playing on the moon while eating....candy roses? Duo looked blankly at Wufei, What does that mean?
I don't know, Wufei made a disgusted look, but I think it means Heero has fallen for that girl.
Looks like it! Duo giggled, grabbing Wufei's sleeve and dragging him into the apartment.

* * *

Serena looked up at the boy standing on the steps. Hey! Your getting in a bit late, aren't you?
The boy stared blankly at her, then mumbled something.
Serena shook her head, What? I didn't quite get that.
Uh, sorry. The boy blushed, I said, we where out at a party.
Serena smiled.
Why are you getting in so late? The boy asked as Serena began to ascend the steps.
I just felt like going out, Serena laughed, I hadn't realized it had gotten so late until the bar I was in closed. By the way, my names Serena. What's yours?
Heero gave her an odd look, You don't look old enough to get into a bar.
Serena giggled, Looks can be deceiving. As she reached the step Heero was standing on the began to walk together.
Heero began, You live right next door to us.
Looks like it. Serena walked to her door, unlocking it and the opening it. Well, I really should be going.
Oh, yes. Heero once again blushed, Well, good night.
Good night, Serena waved before entering her apartment and closing the door. Strange guy.' She thought as she locked the door, Cute though.'

* * *

Heero shook his head as Serena's door closed, What was that?' He stepped into his apartment and closed the door. What was that weird feeling?'
Heero's in love! Heero's in love! Duo taunted.
Shut up! Heero shoved the singing boy. I don't even know what that is.
Duo grinned, Love is where you have a-
Wufei grabbed the other boy by his braid. We don't need to hear your senseless chatter.
Duo rubbed his head, That hurt.
Wufei rolled his eye's, Go to bed Duo.
Duo stuck his tongue out at Wufei before running to his room and slamming the door.
Good night, Heero, Wufei walked to his room, before he closed his door he added, Don't let stupid girls cloud your judgment.
Heero looked up at the now closed door, I don't know what you mean. he whispered before entering his own room. He quietly undressed, throwing his dirty clothes into a hamper. Climbing into bed he once again reflected on what Wufei had said. Why would I let a girl distract me? How could she?' He thought before drifting off into a dreamless sleep.

A/N: What do you think? I know, it's so OOC. Heero likes the same kind of BLT I do!! I can't stand lettuce. Well, you know the drill, more reviews mean more chapters.
