DISCLAIMER: I don't own Darkstalkers, Capcom does. Don't sue me please.
It's me again. Here's Chapter 2 of my Darkstalkers story "Deeping Dream". Not a whole lot of
people write Darkstalkers stories, and fewer still are good, so I decided to enter one in myself.
Capcom should do a Darkstalkers RPG- it would be so cool. Enough wishing for what will never

NOTE: Sorry about the italics screw-up. My computer won't put italics in a text
document (*sigh*) so I'll simply not put thoughts in. Damn wordpad problems!
Chapter 2
Fear and Desire
Dimitri sipped his wine slowly, listening to the ambassador Marlin. The wine was laced with blood, taken during a raid on human villages.
He almost smiled, thinking about the humans. Weak creatures. Only sheer numbers kept them alive on Makai. Vampires required them for blood to support themselves, but most Darkstalkers ignored them- or in the case of succubi and incubi, toyed with them.
Ambassador Marlin was explaining a situation in the Inner Kingdoms. The Inner Kingdoms were where Berial ruled, and where the most powerful houses existed.
"This man, Duke Jedah, is the head of a house along the coasts. He's gathered together a army of supporters who are starting to cause a rift in the Inner Kingdoms. He's not openly opposed Berial yet, which is why we can't make overt moves against him, but we do want some guarantees of help should Jedah attempt anything. We would like to ask you to come to our aid if Jedah decides to try civil war."
Dimitri sipped his wine again, considering the ambassador's words. He hated to pit his kingdom in the middle of civil war in the Inner Kingdoms- as part of the Outer Kingdoms, they preferred to stay out of the more internal power struggles. However, if a big enough reward was offered for help...
Dimitri asked, " How many support Jedah?"
Marlin thought for a moment, then answered. " Currently, four kingdoms, all along the coastlines, support Jedah, along with his own. We believe we can beat them back, but more and more kingdoms are starting to look at an alliance with him. He's a very dangerous man, and I've heard he can charm almost anyone into doing what he wants. We would like to make a show of strength soon, with as many houses as we can joining us. Can we count on your loyalty?"
Dimitri said, "And what is the return favor?"
Marlin smiled. " Let's say that you will receive ample payment for any services rendered. On the honor of House Aensland."
Dimitri nodded. House Aensland would never put anything on it's honor without meaning it. " You will receive a full regiment of my elite troops. I'll send them in a week."
Marlin smiled. "Excellent. You have our thanks, Duke Dimitri of House Maximov."
During this exchange, Morrigan had been sitting back, twiddling with her food. She was still trying to see what the vampire's emotions were- he had a shield up that she couldn't pierce. It both annoyed and intrigued her- what was he hiding? She would see more of this man tonight if she could.
Dimitri stood up. " I will be leaving to take care of other business," he said, bowing slightly to Marlin. " You will be escorted to your rooms by my servants." Dimitri waved two servants over to the ambassador. " If you need anything, a guard will be posted outside your room."
Dimitri nodded to them again and walked off. He had treasuries to note and armories to check, as well as orders to dispatch.
Three hours later, the moon was almost down over Makai. The day would start soon. Dimitri stood on a balcony overlooking the grassy plains of Romania. Suddenly he heard a fluttering noise. He turned to look-
And there was Morrigan, sitting on the edge of the balcony's rail, smiling at him. He immediately sent his shield up- but not before Morrigan caught his surprise and anger. Her smile widened.
" What are you doing out here?" he inquired, trying to keep his voice calm.
" What do you think I'm doing?" she said, standing up and walking to him. She placed her hands on his shoulders.
" I am not one of your toys, Morrigan," Dimitri said, grabbing her hands and moving them off his shoulders. " And how did you leave without notice?"
" I have ways," she said, moving out of his grasp. The batwings on her head raised up slightly. " I like it when men play tough- like I don't know what they want."
Dimitri raised an eyebrow. " What I want is for you to leave me alone."
" Do you really? Don't you crave my lips on yours? Don't you want my body pressed next to yours?" To illustrate her point, she moved closer to Dimitri, attempting to put him in an embrace. He stepped back, out of her arms reach. Her batwings raised up more. " I can be anything you want. Whatever you desire."
" What I desire you to be is away from me."
She pouted, her batwings turned down. " If you really mean it..."
She stepped back, suddenly flipped over the railing and flapped her wings. "See you later, then," she said, blowing him a kiss and flying off.
Dimitri shook his head. He felt very sorry for Makai when Morrigan took control. She was too driven by her wants to be a good ruler.
He chuckled a few times. Of all the things Fate had to throw at him, a lust-crazed succubi princess was the last one he expected. His chuckles continued as he walked back to his room.
Meanwhile, Morrigan converted her body into little bats that flew through the window of her room and landed inside, reforming her normal body in the process.
She looked out the window and smiled. Dimitri... intrigued her. He was one of the only men to ever resist her temptations. It made him... interesting. Too bad they were leaving. She'd have to come here later and see if she could entice him.
She fell asleep just as the sun rose over Makai.
