Moscow, Russia: 18th June 2004...

Rei squinted uncomfortably. The dim flickering light the candle in his hand provided did little to improve his view of the maze like corridors ahead of him. As he had discovered, most of the rooms in the old castle had no windows, and apparently the corridors followed suit.
"Typical!" He muttered irritably; bad light did not make for easy exploration in a place where you were likely to be crushed by part of the building. He wasn't quite sure why was here, he'd already explored this tower already, but something in his inquisitive mind told him he'd missed something.

He winced and jumped back into one of the walls as hot wax dripped onto his hand. It didn't hurt much; the shock was just uncomfortable. He pushed his other hand back on the wall to steady himself, and was shocked off balance when it gave way, causing him to fall backwards. He lay on his back for a few moments, taking in his surroundings. It appeared to be a bedroom, but not like the modern style guest room he slept in; this one looked like something straight out of the middle ages. Stone floor, fur rugs, stained glass windows, four poster oak-wood bed.

"Hello stranger."

Rei's ears pricked instantly, he flipped himself up to crouch and slowly stood up, eyes scanning the room warily. When his eyes finally focused on the source of the voice his eyes widened.

Sat on the bed were three girls, each different in looks, but all equally intriguing.

One had long pink hair, red cat-like eyes, creamy pale skin, and wore a pale rose pink kimono over her slim curvy figure. She flicked back her hair with a slender hand as she noticed his gaze resting on her, and flashed a grin.

The second had shoulder length wild red hair, deep chocolate brown eyes, the same pale skin as before, but she was wearing a purple kimono which resting more baggy on her lean boyish frame.
The last one Rei's eyes came to rest on, had waist length blue hair tied up in a ponytail with a few strands loose at the front kept out of her blazing emerald eyes, her pale skin was complimented by the blue kimono she wore, which to Rei's shock, was almost completely see-through.

"I see you've found your way into our bed." The blue haired girl grinned at her companions before they all allowed there gaze to fall back to Rei.
Rei was about to point that he was actually on the floor when he suddenly felt the floor shift underneath him, and before he could react his consciousness began to sway and his vision became blurred.

Rei woke up to find himself, flat on his back with all three of the strange girls practically wrapped over him. He grunted in protest and tried to push them back, but to his dismay, they simply continued to kiss and nibble at his muscular body wherever they prized away his clothes and exposed skin. He inhaled sharply and tensed his muscles as the redhead sunk her teeth into his stomach just below the navel, and flicked her tongue across the sensitive skin. The pink haired girl seemed strangely fascinated with his arm, massaging the tense muscles in his shoulder and kiss along the smooth skin on the inner side of her wrist. The bluenette however, captured his attention; her expert fingers traced along his jaw line in a feather light massage while she gently nibbled on the other side of his neck. He began to sink in and out of consciousness again and barely noticed when their teeth began to pierce his skin.

A loud crash plunged him back into consciousness and when he looked around him all three girls were cowering in a corner, hissing like wildcats. He strained his neck, wincing at the soreness in his muscles and saw that Kai had appeared in the doorway, and he looked extremely pissed.

I hope none of those is his girl!

Rei gulped and tried to rearrange his clothes, but stopped in shock when he realised that they were spattered in his own blood.

"You will not touch him!" Kai shouted, glaring at each of the girls in turn. "He belongs to me!"
"And what are we to have?" The bluenette piped up. "You have no love for us in your heart of stone!"
Kai flinched. "I had love in my heart once." He whispered. "And I will love again!"
The bluenette hissed dismissively. "And in the meantime what are we supposed to survive on? You keep this boy for yourself, then what of our hunger?"
"Very well then, but do not leave him free to roam." Kai turned and swept out of the room.

Rei sat up just as the girls turned back to him.
"You're our little toy now." The pink haired girl grinned, deliberately showing off sharp white fangs. Rei began to shake as he backed up as far to the back of the bed as he could. He raised both hands in alarm as the redhead pounced like a tiger and clamped her teeth onto his throat.
The bluenette covered his mouth to muffle his screams as he felt the sharp teeth pierce his flesh, until his head lolled to one side and his eyes rolled back as he blacked out.

Meanwhile Kai stood stoically on the slippery wet wooden ground of the docks, watching his crates carefully as they were hauled aboard the freight ship.
Ahead of him, a young sailor rang a bell to catch everyone's attention.
"Last call for all passengers boarding the PERSEPHONE bound for Japan, last call"
Kai smiled to himself, and watched the last of his crates being stored in the hull before boarding calmly. He walked to the front of the ship and stared out into the horizon, tainted red and orange by the descending sun, reminding him of a vast pool of blood.

...ever felt away without me,
my love, it lies so deep,
ever dream of me?...
