*CHAPTER TWO: A NEW LIFE OF DEATH HAS BEGUN...

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*

Many minutes have passed and Shuichi had finally woken up. His skin was now pale, and within his mouth, he had grown canines that were longer than any mere mortal's. He felt the fangs that had just grown inside of his mouth by feeling them with his tongue. His canines were sharp. Sharp enough to pierce any human's throat.

Shuichi sat up slowly, still weak from the pain and saw Kikyou standing by him, gazing out into the dark sky and at the full moon.

Kikyou had sensed that he was conscious again. "Good evening, Shuichi," she greeted without turning around. "How does it feel like to be dead?"

"Dead?" he asked. He put his hand over his chest, trying to find a heartbeat, but there was none. He even tried to find a pulse, but then, again he didn't have one. "I'm...Dead?"

She nodded her head. "You're an immortal now, and you can't die. You will live for centuries with or without me," she said sadly. "For centuries or maybe even a few thousand years or so."

"What? How can I live for that long?"

"By drinking the blood of humans," she answered. "Without their blood, you cannot survive. You must hunt for yourself night after night, and sometimes day after day. It just depends if you want to be out in the sunlight."

Shuichi was confused. "Hunt? Sunlight?"

"Our race of vampire can stay out in the sunlight as long as we can without burning from the heat," she explained. "I don't go out in the sun for it irritates my eyes. I am more used to being out during the night." She looked back at Shuichi. "We can do anything most humans can do whenever they're conscious. We're stronger than any mortal." She paused for a short moment. "But we do have a weakness that goes along with that strength."

"What is that 'weakness'," he asked.

She hesitated before she responded. "We easily fall weak if we don't have any blood. It is our main source of food. Without it..We would surely die.."

"But I thought, you said that immortals cannot die."

"I know I said that. It's just that. How should I put this?" she asked herself. "If a human or animal does not eat, they would die because they were starving to death. And it's the same for us vampires. We need to drink their blood. If we don't, we would be the ones dying instead. Even if we are immortals, we would."

"I'm a... Vampire?"

"Yes. I drank your blood and you drank mine in exchange for your life. You begged me to spare you. Remember?"

"Huh? I did?"

Kikyou sighed. "You have so many questions. But...Never-mind. Your memory has not returned yet because of the loss of your blood, but it will come back in a few more days," she said. She remembers the time when she was first changed into a vampire fifty years ago. She didn't have any memories of who she was during her first few days of being one.

Shuichi placed his right hand on top his head. He was having a major headache. "My head, it hurts," he complained. "Why is it hurting so badly?"

Kikyou walked over to Shuichi. "Don't worry, Shuichi. The pain will go away soon enough. And I will teach you how to survive by showing you how to hunt and how to use your new abilities," she said. "We will move away to another place where nobody knows either you nor me." She brought out her hand, waiting for Shuichi to take it and agree with her. He looked up at her and took the offer, agreeing to be taught what he must know to survive.

By this, his immortal life has begun. He was no longer alive; Shuichi is now part of the un-dead. He is now a vampire like Kikyou: a hunter and a killer.

From that day on, Shuichi Minamino is now a creature of the night and a predator to all human beings.

For him to survive in the world that he lives in, he must drink the blood of innocent victims...

A/N: So...how was it? I know this was a bit short. It's just that, this was supposed to be part of Chapter One, but ff.net screwed it up, and so I had to cut it in half and add it as another chapter for this fic so it might not be a good up to this point, I think. But I can assure you, that this fic might be better later on in future chapters! ^^

In this chapter, Shuichi was just turned into a vampire by Kikyou. When he got up, he didn't have any memories, and Kikyou was there to help him. By the way, have you noticed that Kikyou was a bit nicer to him? Well, that's b/c she too sort of fell in love w/ Shuichi even though he was bit younger than she was, but still, she fell for him. She had a chance to kill him, but she didn't. Instead, she changed him into a vampire. And I know I had this one review, that asked me if I could burn Kikyou in Hell, but that won't happen in this fic of mine. Though I'm planning that it might happen in another fic that I'm planning to write. Hm..I guess that's it for this chapter.

Also, the vampires in my fic are not the kinds that you see on TV or in the movies. These vampires are a different type of race, a stronger kind. But they do have some similarity w/ the ones on TV though, but they will be different. Two characteristics about them were explained in this chapter and the last a bit. If you don't know what those characteristics are, they're the ones where they can stay out in the sunlight as long as they want w/out getting burned from the heat and about reading minds of other people like a book. But more will be explained in future chapters! ^_^

In the next installment of NDCT, a new character will be introduced, and if you want to know who that character is, you've gotta send in some reviews! ^_^ I'll only add in the next chapter when I receive at least 5 or more reviews for this chapter too! So, send those reviews in! All you have to do is click on the review button and write in what you think!

Ja ne!
