Darkness Unnamed Chapter Two
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Simple smiles in the dark, little things so new to me…
Darkness all around even if I open my eyes…
Golden glow in front of me, sent of sandalwood invades my mind…
Hardness beneath me, I twist and turn inside myself…
Gasping now for my breath, whispers just beyond my reach…
I lay here now, eyes wide closed, unknown to me the whispers…
Darkness Unnamed.
Sanosuke turned another corner and growled the sound vibrating deep in the back of his throat. "Day walkers are starting to get too damn smart."
He looked around the empty street before him. "You would think that at least one damn person would be out during a full moon." His face formed a small pout, "Chikuso I'm hungry."
Rubbing a hand across his belly the young vampire continued down the streets of Tokyo today was the only full moon Kaoru would let him hunt and during the other times of the month he was as good of a hunter as a trapped dog.
Something streaked across the road ahead of the cinnamon eyed man causing him to stop where his was and look around, sniffing the air every now and then.
'What was that?' he took a step forward and sniffed again, 'Vampire?' His brown eyes widen a little as another sent invaded his sensitive nose, 'a dark hunter? Why would he be out on a full moon?'
He took a few more sniffs but he scent was lost, who ever it was, was in a hurry and must not of been hunting, he got to the next corner and looked down each side street, first the left side, he studied the empty street for awhile then turned towards the right side, a smile appearing on his lips, someone was out tonight, and by the looks of it that someone had a little much to drink.
Stepping into the shadow's the tall vampire made his way down the street gaining speed as the lonely figure got closer, in a rush of adrenalin Sanosuke grabbed what looked to be a fairly young woman, pulling her head to the side by the long dark hair that flowed down her back he bite into the soft skin of her neck, his eyes black, the pupils glowing red.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
She had heard the rustling of fabric when someone ran out of the shadows towards her, but had been drinking that night, mourning over the recent death of her fiancée; he had been killed by a fanged demon during the dark circle of the month.
She was just turning her head to see who was coming at her when a hand clamped in her hair, jerking her head to the side, she didn't have time to react before a pair of razor sharp fangs sunk into her neck, a hand coming up to cover her mouth.
Blood smudged around his mouth as Sanosuke feed off of the day walker in his grasp, her blood was sweet tasting, it had a musky taste to it, and a bitter after taste from the sake in her system, yes this human had been drinking just as his had thought.
He could feel her trying to struggle in his hold, causing even more blood to seep out of the puncher wounds on her neck, tightening his hold Sanosuke sucked harder the flesh around the wound turning deep red, almost purple in some places.
A few seconds later the woman stopped her struggles and lay limp in his arms, she was either dead or exhausted and gave up the futile struggle, he decided on her being dead as he pulled his fangs from the now red flesh of her neck.
Dropping the limp body to the ground he turned to walk away, slowly his eyes turning back to their regular cinnamon color, he had just taken a few steps when a small voice from behind stopped him, his eyes narrowing in suspicion.
She landed on the solid brick road her head smacking a mid-size rock at impact, she was still alive but barely, her body was weak from lose of blood, and she was disoriented from the sake and wound to the head but she spoke out anyway, she wanted to die, wanted to join Yakido, her deceased fiancée.
"Onegai don't leave….I…I wish to leave this world…don't leave me here to suffer…I don't want to wait any longer." Her breathing was coming in labored gasps, her lungs burning from the effort it took to speak such simple words, the lose of blood was starting to make her vision blur and darken around the edges as it slowly moved inward.
He snorted, there was no need to help a human, let her suffer she meant nothing to him, he took a few more steps away from the woman laying on the road when a picture of Kaoru crying on her futon, arms wrapped about herself, mumbling about golden eyes and blood flashed through his mind.
Stopping he glanced back at the human, her breathing was getting weaker and he could see her eyes dulling as they stared at a person she couldn't see, growling a little to himself Sanosuke turned back towards the woman, 'Damn you Jou-chan, you better have a spare futon.' Bending down he lifted her into his arms, small drops of blood dripping on the ground as he walked away down the dim streets back towards the Kamiya Dojo.

He could feel it, almost taste it, what ever had brought him to this city was strong powerful, and he wanted it. His eyes glowed a little brighter; he needed that power, not so much as to make him stronger, but because what ever it was would attract almost all Dark Hunters, from near and far.
But he was the strongest, deadliest, and most feared. Some say that he the Battousai had died during the war that he had perished at the hand of his Sensei because he surpassed his sensei in skill and power. Battousai snorted, "If that senile old fool was lacking in strength and skill, then how could he of killed me?"
Knowing that he wouldn't get an answer from the empty street that he was walking down, Battousai snorted again and continued on his search, not bothering to answer his own question.
His search would have to be short if anyone found out that the Battousai was in Tokyo he would have to deal with hot headed younglings trying to win a fight with the Legendary Battousai, and he didn't take lightly to people, he was a person that lived and traveled by himself.
He didn't like people, thought they was disgusting, stupid, ignorant, and selfish beings, that is why he did what he did, he killed for the joy of it, the feel of fresh blood running down his hands, the hollow sound it made as it splashed against the solid ground.
Turning a corner onto one of the rougher street's of town Battousai continued with his silent musing of death, his right hand resting firmly on the hilt of his Katana, his other sword had been lost in a battle with the spy known as Aoshi, his last name had been forgotten by Battousai when his sword stabbed through his chest, blood spraying onto his formal blue clothing.
Looking at a drunken woman as he passed Battousai smiled, he could feel the Ki of a vampire near, most likely this Human wouldn't live much longer, to bad he thought right as he turned the corner at the end of the street, "She was kind of pretty for a human." Not long after the last word slipped past his lips did he hear the unmistakable sound of human flesh being ripped, torn, and mutilated.
Not even giving the dieing woman and the vampire feeding off of her a second thought Battousai took off in a run, the smell of a nearby Dark Hunter invading his nose, they must be looking for the power, they must feel it to.
He could see the dark figure running ahead of him, could smell the fear gradually making its way into its sent, 'good he knows what is coming.' He smiled the tips of his fangs shining wickedly in the soft moonlight, tonight there would be one less Dark Hunter in the world, and one more death upon Battousai's hands.

Blood…
She could smell it, the coppery smell invading her nose, she didn't know how but she knew it was from him.
Golden Eyes…
They watch emotionlessly as the glint of a Katana being drawn from a sheath reflected off the black clothing of the person in front of him, an increase of speed, and the eyes stayed the same molten gold.
Enjoyment…
It shown in his golden eyes as the Katana was lifted, steadied, and posed to kill, they watched as the cold hard metal of the blade bit into the flesh of the person it was after, the sound of ripping flesh and cloth echoing in her mind.
Death…
The blade dug deeper, blood exploding from the gash on the mans back, then it was pulled free of the flesh seconds later, only to be replaced in the soft skin of the whimpering mans neck, the bones cracking and breaking from the impact the flesh and muscles cut like butter.
A Smile…
She could see him smiling in her mind as the head of the vampire rolled to the ground, blood oozing from the veins to run across the ground, it slowly forming a pool around the decapitated head, the headless body falling not to far away, blood streaking down the once clean clothes from the severed neck of the young fanged one. He turned to her then in the dream a smile upon his lips, and then he walked away back to his search.
Golden Eyes…
Emotionless Golden Eyes…

Kaoru sat up in bed her terrified scream echoing strangely around the small room and down the empty halls of the dojo home.
She stopped screaming the sound of her shoji door being opened making her feel uneasy, a dark figure walking into the narrow door way, she could feel her heart start to race as the moonlight glinted off something metal in the dark figures hand, and the smell of blood entered her nose.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Blood…
It always meant one thing for her and that one thing for her being death, and destruction a story told by fanged one's to scare one another in the dark of the night.
Amber Eyes…
TBC
