Chapter 1: The Meeting
"Dark is coming soon sir..." A man with long fiery red hair nodded. The owner of the voice left the room and footsteps sounded down the corridor. The man paused for a moment and he slipped soundlessly out of bed. He donned black garments and then slipped a pair of sleek sunglasses over his eyes. He gathered his wild hair into a ponytail and he smiled. Fangs glistened through the dark and he whispered.
"Tonight....we shall feed..."

"Miss Kaoru?" A girl with long black hair tied in a braid poked her head in the room. A beautiful lady wearing a pretty pink dress sat at the window, staring out at the countryside. The dress had a low neckline lined with white lace, and the sleeves fanned out, giving the dress a very elegant look. The back of the skirt had a white silk bow attached, and the front had elaborate rose designs fanning across. The lady herself was much more beautiful then the dress. A pale yet rosy complexion made her face look incredibly healthy. Her sleek black hair was held up in a messy bun with a few curls hanging down.
"Yes?" she asked in a soft voice, turning her head towards the newcomer. The girl stepped into the room, revealing the rest of her, dressed in a pretty but simple blue maids dress.
"The carriage is ready if you would still like to go to the carnival ma'am." She stepped farther into the room and picked up a rose colored short cape, of jacket and a parasol. She held out the jacket for her lady to step into, and waited. Kaoru sighed and slowly got up.
"I don't even know why father suggested that I go to such a wretched place. There'll be mud everywhere and I shall ruin my brand new dress," she fretted, putting on the cape.
"I don't know either ma'am." The girl nodded bowed her head. She escorted Kaoru out of the room, down the hall, and out the doors. The girl handed Kaoru her parasol and promptly opened it, shielding her master from the sun.
"Thank you Misao," Kaoru mentioned airily. Misao smiled shyly and took her place two steps behind Kaoru. A coachman smiled at her and opened the door.
"Your escort today," he announced. Kaoru peered into the carriage, hoping that father had gotten somebody good for once. A tall form stepped out of the carriage. Behind her, Misao gasped and slightly fell over, muddying her skirts. "Aoshi Shinomori," the coachman announced. When he stepped in the sun, even Kaoru gasped. He was the typical gentlemen, tall dark and handsome. Stepping forward, he took her hand and brought it to his lips.
"My lady," he murmured. "Shall we get going?" She blushed slightly and nodded. He smiled and swept her away towards the carriage, and Misao was left there.
"Aoshi..." she whimpered. "Why are you here now...?"
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+
"Miss Kaoru, where are you running off too?" Aoshi called, slightly laughing and chasing after her. Kaoru giggled and picked up her skirts, enabling her to run faster. She ducked into the House of Horrors and waited breathless by the entrance flap to the tent.
"Miss Kaoru?" she heard him call. He stopped, confused, a few feet away from her. Then footsteps, and she couldn't see him anymore. She giggled and turned around, thinking that she might as well look around while hiding. Suddenly, a man was in front of her. It was dark in the tent, and she couldn't see him too clearly. He had long hair, what color she couldn't tell. He was wearing all dark clothing, and a pair of sunglasses covered his eyes. She gasped. He smiled to himself, but dared not show his teeth as to scare her away. She studied him as she backed out of the tent, and he strangely didn't follow. She could see him better now, and she caught her breath. He was extremely handsome, and she found herself drawn to his long red hair.
"My lady..." He said, holding out his hand. "Would you care to grace my presence while I visit the House of Horrors?" She seemed hypnotized, and could only nod. She walked forward in a trancelike state and he smiled. He couldn't wait to sink his teeth into her soft pale flesh, and he could just taste the delicious blood. He pulled her in front of him, and he slapped himself, hoping to knock some control into him. Now that she wasn't looking directly into his shaded eyes, she wasn't hypnotized anymore. Fascinated by the freaks in the exhibit, she whirled around and laughed.
"This is great isn't it?! By the way sir, you've never told me your name." He smiled and came up behind her, both staring at a picture of a woman covered in hair.
"I am Himura Kenshin..." he breathed down her neck, wanting nothing more than to seduce her and suck her dry. But there was something different about her...different from all his other victims...
"Kenshin..." she smiled. "That's a nice name..." she murmured. She felt slightly guilty though extremely attracted to this man. It's not like she was engaged or anything though. "I'm Kamiya Kaoru..." she replied. Kenshin drew back, and held his breath. The men of the Kamiya family were famous vampire slayers. Vampires repeated the tales to the newly turned, and every vampire was taught to stay away from the Kamiya family. Unknown to Kaoru, Aoshi was being trained to carry on the Kamiya legacy, and her father and Aoshi's father had already been planning an engagement.
"Is something wrong?" she asked, turning around to face him. Determined not to let his feelings show, he shook his head.
"Nothing at all my lady...nothing at all." She looked at him suspiciously, and her fear grew at the stranger.
"I think I should be going...my escort is most likely worried by now." Kenshin swore to himself, but forced a smile on.
"Of course...I hope I shall see you around miss Kaoru." She fled out of the tent, and straight into the arms of Aoshi.
"Kaoru!!" he looked down, surprised. "Where have you been?!" She trembled slightly and held him tight.
"Oh Aoshi...I'm sorry." she whispered. Kenshin watched and growled, baring his fangs. He felt strangely jealous of this Aoshi man, and he swept his cloak around, disappearing into the darkness. Misao watched, heartbroken from the candy stand.

"Stop it Aoshi!" she giggled. A tall teenager with dark eyes smiled and held her close.
"Stop what Misao?" he breathed, planting a heated kiss on her lips. She sighed and returned it happily. Soon they were tumbling around in a passionate lip lock, and she pushed him away to breathe. Getting the hint, he gave her some air. She gasped, and then looked up at him, eyes shining.
"You'll never leave me will you?" she whispered, wanting to hear his reply. He hesitated, and she grew desperate. She pounded his chest with her small fists. "Answer me Aoshi!!" He looked away, and replied.
"Of course not honey..." he whispered. She gasped and tore herself away from him.
"Why won't you look at me!?!?" she cried. "Why are you doing this to me Aoshi!?" tears streamed from her eyes, and she ran into the forest.
"Misao!!" he yelled. "Misao!!!"
