The darkness was filling her sight. The moon looked down on her. The Trees in the forest whispered their secrets in her ears. But she needed no secrets. Secrets complicated things, and that was one thing Kagome didn't need. No, everything was perfect right now. Hunting with her Prince-I-darkness made everything else seem pointless.

Once more, Kagome silently thanked the forest around them for the cover. Tonight, they would have to prey upon villagers, and this was something that had to be done quickly and efficiently. The village looked familiar to Kagome, but for some reason she could not place it. Ketsueki could. Out side of this village, he had told his dear Kagome of her vampirism. The lady Kaede's village.

Huddled in the trees like predators, their enhanced senses creeped forward, to spot a young couple moving to the forest for privacy. They were talking to each other, giggling at some joke only they understood.

It sickened the vampires watching. Humans were so disgusting.

"After you, My prince" said Kagome. Ketsueki smiled, standing from his crouch just enough to run. He rushed forward, towards the couple as they reached the first trees.

They both went down easily, a claw to the throat all that was required. Kagome soon came after Ketsu, she took the boy, Ketsu the girl.

"Kagome" said Ketsueki, after he dropped his meal. She spun, dropping her meal but neglecting to wipe her lips.

"what is it? You seem Somber lately" she said, a tone of worry in her voice.

"It's the master. He wishes to see you personally" he said, sitting on the body.

"why would he want to do that? I'm just a yearling" she said.

"he says it is because of the fact that you have Miko blood. He says your gift should be found immediately"

"gift?" asked Kagome, now sitting next to her Prince.

"yes. Every one of us has a different gift. Some have telepathy, others have the ability to transform into a bat, yet more invisibility. Yours, he says, should be powerful."

"So, the master... why is it you hesitate so much in talking about him?"

"My dear Kagome, things like these cannot be explained. When we are joined, you will see why. Now let us go from here" he said, Gently using a piece of cloth to wipe Kagome's lips.

"yes, let's go"

The pair made it back to the base within Ten minutes,running at full speed. But instead of the usually scarce vampires, most of the Quirinius clan was dressed flamboyantly, the men in suits and the women in long dresses. They were all going towards the master's dwelling, large enough to hold each vampire.

Kagome looked to Ketsueki, to see him grim at all the celebration. Something wasn't right about it, Kagome thought. He was rarely this upset.

"why is everyone dressed like that, Ketsu?" Kagome Asked. Apparently Ketsueki didn't hear her, as he walked slowly out of the forest and looked around. Then he turned around and walked back to Kagome. He offered her his arm, and she took it gladly.

"we need to find a dress, my dear." He said, and led her outside. He led her to a small house, and knocked on the front door.

"olivia" He said Calmly, and a young girl came to the door. It was the same girl that had taken Kagome from her friends. She was dressed in a dress that was less formal than the rest, but still formal enough to pass. It was Black with red tutrimming, Tailored to the girl's slim body.

She looked at Kagome, and then at Ketsueki.

"I bid you Welcome" she said, lifting the boundary that kept them from stepping past the threshold. Ketsueki shook his head.

"we do no need to come in, Olivia. Would you Kindly go get the dress for the revealing?" he asked somewhat coldly. The girl nodded and went inside, closing the door.

"why does she serve you, ketsu?" asked Kagome. He looked to her.

"she was dying of A disease. In return for a second chance at life, she agreed to serve the clan for the next thousand years" he said. Kagome's eyes widened. One thousand years, working as a servant?

"how long ago was that?" asked Kagome.

"five hundred and thirty three years ago" he replied, as the girl once more opened the door, this time with an elaborate dress in hand. She turned to Kagome, and held it out to her. Kagome took it, looking at the girl with more human eyes.
