Yuki: Here is chapter 8 but before we get started on that I need to make a correction, Kage's brother's name is Akari not Jason, I fixed it but incase you don't reread it I thought I would let you know. Warning all lot of this is one big flash back.

I don't own MP but I do own Kage, Marissa, and the plot.

Chapter Eight: The hunter that once was

Kage followed her mistress down to the kitchen, she sat on the floor while Paris ate, every once in a while Paris would hand Kage something small to eat. As they ate Kage's mind zoned in and out of the past.

It was around 1970 Kage was walking through the streets in the middle of the night, looking for food or for some drunk that she might have a chance to steal some money off of.

"It's dangerous in this part of town at night child," A voice came from behind her and she spun around. The woman was tall and elegantly dressed with brown hair, "What are you doing about on your own?"

"I've been on my own for quite a while now and I'm not a child so don't call me that." Kage's voice was slightly sharp.

"You look like a child, what happened to your family? Did you run from your home?" Marissa was trying to be caring.

"I'm older than you are, trust me on that, my family?" Kage thought for a moment she didn't remember at the moment how her family was killed but she knew one thing, "Destroyed, torn apart by Vampires. Who are you anyways?"

"How is it possible that you are older than me?" Marissa had a tone of disbelief in her voice. "Shame that your family was destroyed by those leeches, do you wish for revenge?"

"I have a cursed life, that's all you need to know about that. And as for revenge I will get it one day." Kage started to walk on.

"I can teach you how to kill those creatures, I am the head of a hunting circle that will care for you." Marissa followed Kage.

"Really? You look too young to be head of a hunting circle." Kage turned around suddenly, her interest was now caught.

"It was passed down in my family, my mother just passed, so now it's mine." Marissa spoke carefully so not to scare Kage away.

"I see, I guess I'll join, what is required of me?" Kage narrowed her eyes.

"We need to know your past and you will be trained to be a hunter." Marissa smiled and led Kage to Vampirious.

Kage told the leaders her past and they let her join. A few months later she was trained, she was better then some of the elders of the circle though they would never admit it.

Kage sighed to herself she missed the old her; her mind traveled back to her latest assignment before the one in Midnight.

"Kill Kile? Who the hell is Kile?" Kage looked at Marissa.

"A vampire, someone or other's brother I guess. Just get the info on him and then kill him or is that too hard for you child?" Marissa looked up she knew that the mission was dangerous but she also knew Kage would take it.

"Fine, where do I start looking?" Kage started hiding her weapons, "Never mind I know the answer to that one." She walked out.

"Kage!" Paris yelled at her.

"Yes Milady?" Kage looked up.

"We have a visitor, come" Paris stood up and Kage of course followed.

"Ah brother, how nice of you to visit." Paris entered another room that Kage hadn't been in before now.

"I'm glad I could make it Paris you know I'm busy with my circet most of the time." A tall vampire with blonde, yes blonde, hair was standing there dressed like he was some lazy teenager. "Who's the new pet?" He motioned to Kage their eyes met.

"Kile, I take it." Kage had the blonde vampire cornered in a room, the rest of his circet had left him there to deal with the hunter alone.

"Yes, I take it you are a hunter." He glared down as Kage pushed the dagger harder one move and she would destroy Kile's heart.

"No shit Sherlock," Kage laughed slightly, "I need information on a hunter that came after you before."

"You won't be getting it." Kile laughed until Kage's dagger cut his skin leaving a thin line of his blood.

"I won't? come now, do you treasure your life of the night?" Kage raised an eye brow at the vampire.

"No you won't be getting the information hunter." He smirked Kage realized there was someone behind her, but it was a moment too late, their dagger was in her shoulder.

"This is my new pet Kage," Paris smiled.

Kage recognized the vampire, "Lord Kile," she bowed.

His laugh split the slight silence that had fallen over the room, "The great hunter is now my sister's pet!"

Kage sighed this was going to be a long night, longer then she knew.

Yuki: yep I'm stopping there, enjoy.
