NERV Infirmary

Commander Ikari looked on as the quivering body of a female nurse was wheeled away from Shinji's room. His gaze fell on the bed, there were some blood spots on it and it suggested that the blood that was spilled came from the head area.

"The reports might be true." 'If this all goes well, this will tip the scenario towards my advantage.'

He turned as Ritsuko came up to him. "It's the same reason, massive blood loss on the victim. Have you seen the surveillance video Commander?"

Gendo looked down on the doctor and she held up a portable player.

It showed Shinji completely laying still on his bed sleeping. Suddenly on the side of the frame his windowsill opened and a strong wind blew inside. It also recorded audio and exchange of words was heard from unseen sources.

"You see Commander, the camera recorded audio but there is no one there talking."

Gendo leaned closer and caught someone or something weighted shifting a part of the sofa. 'There it is… vampires.'

"Is this the only copy of it?"

Ritsuko nodded, "Do you need it?"

"Give it to me and destroy any copies that you will find. Understood?"

"Yes sir," the intimidated doctor nodded, "I understand."

Gendo turned and left the doctor alone. He walked through the dark halls and disappeared in the cover of darkness.

"So it has been confirmed. Shinji is a vampire, this will be most interesting."

Katsuragi Apartment

Shinji opened his eyes feeling refreshed and happy. It felt like he was normal again, although he dreaded the time he will hear the voice again. Whether he would heed it or not he doesn't know, but one thing is certain right now and he must heed it quickly.

"I have to cook breakfast," he said as he stretched like a cat and his hands extracted his claws reflexively. "… or Asuka might find me not cooking yet." , '… and she might bludgeon me to death again.'

Heading for his room for a change of clothes he dumped the hospital gown on one side of his room and changed to his usual white shirt and black pants. He stepped outside and went straight to the kitchen. Opening the fridge he sets his mind on an egg and bacon breakfast. "Well, get going Shinji."

After half an hour at exactly 8:00 AM, the great Asuka Langley Soryu woke up from her slumber. She headed for the bathroom first and then faced Shinji in the kitchen. Her eyes were greeted by a pale-faced but beaming 3rd Child. "Good morning Asuka. Did you have a goodnight's rest?"

Meeting his warm gaze, Asuka founds out that she is mysteriously drawn to him.

'Why do I suddenly… think he's… cute… and… and inviting?' she shook her head as her cheeks colored crimson. 'Snap out of it Asuka! Your looking like a Dummpkopf.'

"Guten Morgen too, and the answer to the second question is no," she looked at him as he cocked his head. "Well, I wish I could have been with Kaji sleeping you know."

Silence reigned then suddenly Asuka remembered something.

"Why are you here anyway?"

He gulped and sweats as he thinks of a possible and a really good lie to explain why he's there. "You see… I was… ahh… I was released yesterday midnight... no… I mean last night, I was uh… released last night."

"Oh, I see." Nodding her head and returning to her food the 2nd Child didn't press the issue.

Just then Misato decided to come in, "Hey Shinji! What are you doing here? You were supposed to be at the hospital till now right?"

"Well I was released last night and… and I…I didn't wake you two because I didn't want you to wake up." He said as Misato scrutinized him, "I also don't want to wake you because I have my own house key."

Shinji sighed as Misato smiled and dig into the food.

Elsewhere – in an old house on the limits of Tokyo-03

Two black H2 trucks stopped on the driveway of an old house. One of the car's doors opened, and a tall man with a leather jacket and a thick ray band came out and scanned the exterior of the house.

"Hmm, the windows are covered. A bit dusty on the outside, and… and some blood stains on the door." Jack Crow took out his Silver .44 Magnum revolver, "Its confirmed, that house is a vampire's den."

As soon as the word vampire came out of his lips, all of his men flooded beside him armed with their guns, blades and wooden stakes.

"Let's clean this shit out."

They flooded in and were greeted by hissing sounds throughout the house. Suddenly a black figure came up and draws a clawed hand at one of the intruders, Jack Crow aimed his gun at it and fired. The silver bullet penetrated through the vampire and the dark creature howled in pain. Ima-kan-ji took out a wooden stake and stabbed it at the chest, the vampire howled again and was dragged outside in the morning sun.

The vampire writhed and convulsed into flames after the searing heat of the sun burned its body to ashes. Father Larceny their fellow Slayer Priest did the sign of the Cross and uttered some words.

"Ashes to Ashes, and from Dust to Dust."

Jack Crow turned away from the burning vampire and faced his men, "Nine more to kill, and one Master Vampire."

Tokyo-03 Cathedral

Sebastian perked up from his perch as he looked at the direction of the old house. He turned to Marcus and Leonard, "We fly tonight, our young Master might be in trouble."

"Yes I agree. But remember our new master is a Day Walker."

Marcus turned to Sebastian, "He is? How in the world did you know?"

"In the west, there is a half-vampire and half-human called Blade. He is also an Independent Slayer of the Vampire Nation."

"But where is he now?" the young Marcus said as he sat on an old chair, "I mean why does he not hunt us?"

"Because he's dead," Marcus looked at Sebastian questioningly, "He died during Second Impact, trying to save his precious humans. But the odd thing is, the Vampire nation established in the West built a statue for him."

"Why would they do that?"

"I don't know, Americans are sometimes screwed up… how the hell am I suppose to know?"

Marcus chuckled as he comical thought entered his mind. When suddenly the three Vampires perked up, there in the cold distance is something with enormous power and strength. An object with a power of biblical proportion a Punisher of the Lord.

The three Master Vampires hissed, "An Angel approaches."

To be Continued

Author's note:

Sebastian, Marcus and Leonard are real Vampire names.

Those names came from BLOOD OMEN 2, a PC game were there is of course Kain and Raziel from Soul Reaver.

Also I just added their surnames to better fit in the story.

Well, I did finish the game and now I think the concept of adding Kain as an ally is… NNNNIIIICCCCEEEE.

Nothing to say much right now except a big hug and thank you from the reviews.

JA NE!!!
