The Vampires' Locket
Chapter one
" Well, looks like we got another one. This time it was a farmer's daughter. And with the same exact clues, none."
"Nothing! Damn, why can't we ever get anything on this guy?"
"Well, we found one thing out of the ordinary."
"Well? What is it?"
"Two parallel puncture wounds on the neck, and a silver heart locket."
"That's the same as the first 2 victims."
The officers looked at the latest victim laying on the bed. Sighing, the chief left followed by his officer. In the shadows lurked a pair of crimson eyes. After the officers left safely, out stepped the fire-ice demon, also known as Hiei. He walked out and scanned the bodies.
"Hn, another one so soon. I didn't think they would strike for at least a week."
Hiei then disappeared and reappeared in front of two large doors at Koenma's place. . Two ogres stood in front of the doors. Seeing it was Hiei they let him pass through. He walked in the doors and down a hallway and stopped in front of a desk.
"Well?" the young god inquired of the demon.
"It's just as I thought. It's the work of the vampires."
"Hmm.They've somehow managed to pass through They've somehow managed to pass through portal, between their world and the human world."
"You are very astute, aren't you?"
"That is why I am in charge when my father is gone." The toddler stated, ignoring the way that sentence was dripping with sarcasm. "Now I want you to go and contact the others, I want this thing solved so I don't have to check in anymore souls."
With out a word, Hiei disappeared. He ran out as fast as he could to get out of the place. He jumped down into the human world; he had to go visit someone. This whole vampire thing was getting out of hand.
"Earlier this morning the body of a 18-year-old girl was found in the just outside her home. No more information has been given on how she died, but police think it is the same killer. Seeing as there is nothing but two punctures on the left side of the neck. Police advise everybody within city limits stay in your house and lock all the doors at night. More updates at ten. Back to you Sean."
The third victim had been found, although it didn't take long for Kurama to put it together. He had had it figured out by the first victim.
"Vampires."
"You say something dear?" his precious mother asked.
"No mother. Just thinking." The gentle son responded.
"Oh, well, dinner will be ready in another hour. Could you watch it for me? I have to run to the store to get more chicken seasoning."
"Alright. Be careful mother!"
"I'll be back, don't worry."
Kurama just smiled as his mother shut the door. Don't worry, well that's all he could do. With these sudden deaths, narrowing his eyes he shut of the television, then he walked into the kitchen. He pulled a soda from the fridge then walked up stairs.
"What evidence is there this time?" he spoke to a figure in the shadows.
"None," Hiei said when he walked jumped from the top branch to meet Kuramas' window. "None, but two puncture marks on the neck and this."
He pulled a locket out of his coat. He threw it to Kurama. Kurama looked at it. It was a locket in the shape of a heart. It had diamonds outlining it. The chain and heart were both silver.
"There's nothing inside it. I checked. No finger prints, but the victims on the locket. Other than that there isn't much to lead on."
"Do you think this could be an old friend?"
"Who else could it be?"
"Do you think it's…?"
"Damion, possible."
Kurama was silent for awhile, Hiei watched him before asking,
"Still broken up about that broad?"
"No, it's just Damion never used lockets like this."
"I don't think any of them did, Reiku had a stash of the things though."
"Wasn't he shut and locked in the Portal of No Return."
"Yes, but it can't be opened from the inside."
"Then someone must have opened it from the outside."
Kurama sighed as he placed the locket on his desk. His emerald eyes narrowed, no one would open the portal unless Damion was back and she opened it. It was filled with the most notorious creatures in there. Only someone really crazy must have opened it and Damion wasn't that crazy…was she? Shaking his head he closed his eyes. He was getting ahead of himself. It probably wasn't even Reiku and Damion wasn't back. It was probably just a rebel, a wet-behind-the-ears vampire. He opened his eyes and looked Hiei.
"Keep me posted. Let me know when new evidence arises."
"Hn, don't you mean if any arises."
Hiei disappeared in a second. Kurama closed the window as he made his way down stairs. He checked the dinner, which was fine, so he sat at a stool and caressed the locket with his thumb. He was so concentrated that he didn't hear his phone ring the first few times. By the fourth ring Kurama grabbed the phone,
"Moshi-Moshi! This is Kurama speaking, how may I help you?"
"Kurama, it's your mother."
"Yes mother what is it?"
"I just wanted to tell that I'm stuck in an awful traffic jam, and I'll be a little later, so could you set dinner up if I'm not home in time?"
"Sure."
"You're a dear. Thanks I'll see you when I get home."
"Okay, bye mother."
Again sighing Kurama hung up the phone and sat in a chair. Closing his eyes he thought about the murders and the killer. He knew why there was a traffic jam. People want to go on vacation; they don't want to be here when 3 girls have died already. He wondered when the next victim will be found, when will they strike next?
Little did Kurama know that he had an unknown visitor watching him. The woman smiled as she tossed her pale blue hair aside. Her light grey eyes smirking, along with her mouth. When she smirked she showed off her sharp teeth. With a whisper and a kiss she said.
"My little fox, I'm watching you. I'm watching you." Then she disappeared with out a trace.
Far away from the city was a tall, dark and mysterious mansion, but that was just the outside. A black Mercedes pulled up to the gate to this mansion. Out stepped the pale, blond, grey-eyed girl. She walked up the front doors and pushed them open. She walked down a long hallway passing several doors. She walked straight into two doors that had a cross symbol on the door. She opened the door and walked inside.
"What news have you brought me, Damion?" a dark voice spoke to her when she entered.
"I've found out that the fire-ice and fox demon are both working on the case."
"Kurama and Hiei. My old friends. I should have known."
"I may have also found you a knew victim."
"Oh really?"
"Really. Her name is Mrs. Suichi."
"Excellent."
"It looks like this will be as fun as I thought, wouldn't you say Reiku?"
"Fun indeed. Fetch me a silver locket."
Damion bowed as she walked out of the room. She knew she would have found a way to open the door. It was worth it. Besides she couldn't have done all her self anyway. She walked further into the mansion. She walked into place that held a vault she walked up to the desk.
" I need the key to vault 13."
A man with purple hair and dark blue eyes and pale skin looked at her. He wore a white T-shirt and faded blue jeans. The boots on his feet wore worn, but still good.
"Vault 13 huh? You need another one so fast?"
"Reiku wants one."
"For himself?"
"No pin-head for the next victim. Now give me the key."
"How about you give a kiss then I give you the key."
"How about I beat the hell out of you and take the key. Or you just hand me the key and you won't get hurt. Your choice, but only one ends with you not in intensive care."
"You couldn't beat me up, Damion."
"Do really want to do this today Keith?"
"Do what?"
"What do mean, do what? Quit being a dumbass and give me the key to vault 13."
"Say please."
"Now Keith!"
Frowning, he reached back and handed her a round key that had 13 on the back. Smirking Damion walked past Keith and down the dark hall. She grabbed a torch and scanned the vaults. Finally she shoved the key into the hold and turned several times before it clicked and opened. Tossing her hair over her left shoulder she grabbed one of thousands of silver lockets.
Dropping it into her pocket she slammed it shut and twisted it back until it was locked. Pulling the key back she walked past the desk again and threw at Keith, who caught it in his left hand.
"Thanks so much Keith."
"Whatever."
Damion walked until just outside of the vault room. Sighing she turned the opposite corner and walked to the transportation room. She placed the locket on to a small platform the size of a floppy disk and typed, Reiku's desk, then pushed enter. The small trinket disappeared. Running her fingers through her lower back length hair and left.
"This is not going to be easy. It's Kurama, Yokou. She shut her eyes. She would have to forget the past, but seeing him earlier brought back memories. That she knew even he hid from.
"Why did you have to be here Kurama-sama?"
Looking out the window she let out a long sigh. She wasn't ready to face him again. As long as she didn't have to come face to face with him that's fine. She'd be okay. Or would she?
