He observed the town from one of the rooftops, his eyes searching both the land and the sky. "How are we supposed to find what we are looking for?" he asked, particularly to no one.

"I haven't a clue. But Mother said that they are usually up at night," his other self said"I guess we just have to spot the usual," he continued. He rolled his eyes.

"Well of course they are up at night. How long do you think we have been doing this kind of job?" he asked sarcastically. His expression turned serious then. "Why is Mother taking a special interest here?" he wondered.

"All I know is that we have to find that one vampire and take it back to headquarters," his other self replied. "And it was said that it might be in this town," he continued. The violet-haired boy nodded as he stood up. He stretched his black glossy wings slightly before taking flight.

"So we are going to be staying in this town until that vampire has been caught?" he asked, out of a sudden.

"Yes," his other self simply replied.

"So that means that you have to enrol to the school here," he said, grinning cockily.

"Wh-what?" his other self stuttered. He laughed at the way his counterpart stammered.

"Didn't Mother say that we have to be here until this vampire has been captured?" he asked. Mentally, he saw the spiky red-haired boy nodded. "As long as it takes, right?" he continued. Again, the red-haired boy nodded.

"Well, we wouldn't want to miss out on anything. And since you are of the right age, being only eighteen," he said lazily. He snickered when he heard his counterpart began to splutter. "And who knows, maybe you might just meet her again in school," he said slyly.

She looked up from the book she was reading and turned to her left side to gaze out of the window. The sun was shining extremely bright today. She could hear the teacher droning on behind but paid no attention to her. Instead, she rested the right side of her face on the open palm of her right hand and gazed outside, oblivious to the fact that Satoshi, who was seated beside her, glanced at her from the corner of his eyes before returning his attention to the teacher.

She watched as the townspeople busied themselves with their daily work. She smiled faintly, knowing that they felt safe with the protection of her father. As she allowed herself to daydream, an image of a lean-looking boy with spiky red hair and bright red eyes appeared out of nowhere. She wondered who he was. "He looks to be of the same age as me," she thought.

"Riku, Mrs Garrett's glaring at you," she heard Krad's deep voice from within her head. She cleared her head almost immediately and turned to find the teacher was in fact glaring at her. She sighed and raised her head slightly from her hand and turned her attention to the open book in front of her. Though she was the daughter of their protector, the townspeople had been told to treat her like one of them.

He shifted from one foot to another nervously, waiting for the teacher to gesture him into the class. Leaning his head against the glass window pane, he closed his eyes and gave out a small sigh. "Why did I take his advice?" he thought.

"Because you thought you really might see her again," a deep voice taunted mentally. He groaned. Just as he was about to retort back, he heard the sound of the door being pushed opened. Quickly, he straightened himself up and watched as the teacher came into view in front. Seeing the teacher nodding, he walked towards her and entered the classroom. He stood nervously beside the teacher while scanning at the now silent classroom. With a sudden, his head stopped in its track while his eyes were widened with unbelief. "I can't believe your luck! Who would have thought you'd actually see her again," his other self said.

He could not believe his luck either when he saw the same auburn-haired girl sitting in the same class as he was. He frowned slightly as he noticed that she did not seem to recognize him. Her dark brown eyes stared at him with no recognition. Her hair seemed to be longer than last night. "Who cares about such little details," a deep voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Class, we have a new student who's just been transferred here. Please make him feel welcome," the voice of the teacher jarred him out of his daze. "Well then, why don't you tell us about yourself?" the teacher encouraged, looking at him. He nodded at her before turning to face the whole class again.

"I'm Daisuke."

Half-heartedly, he listened to the teacher droned on while his eyes kept sneaking glances at the auburn-haired girl who sat a few seats besides him. He frowned. "She does not seem to recognize me," he thought. "Maybe you should go up to her and introduce yourself," his counterpart said lazily. With a sudden, the sound of the dismissal bell snapped him back to reality. He looked around and saw that the other students were getting ready to go home. He, too, began to place all of his books back in his bag when a shadow loomed over him.

His eyes widened when he saw that it was the auburn-haired girl. He watched, stunned, as her dark brown eyes lit up and she smiled. Nervously, he smiled back, his cheeks tinted red with shyness.

"Hi there. Your name's Daisuke right?" she asked, her voice soft and sweet. He nodded. She smiled. "Nice to meet you Daisuke. I'm Risa," she introduced herself. "Risa Harada."

Out of the corner of his eye, he watched as the new boy chatted with Risa. Taking off his glasses, he wiped the lenses as he observed warily. Something about that new boy intrigued and, at the same time, disturbed him. "It's strange," he thought.

"What's strange?" Krad's deep voice penetrated his thoughts.

"How Daisuke arrives here when Hellsing is sending their agent here," he said mentally as he continued to watch the red-haired boy. He saw the auburn-haired girl moved away from the red-haired and walked out of the class, walking past him. He ignored the girl and, unconsciously continued to observe the new boy. Suddenly, he saw Daisuke turned to him. He watched as the red-haired stood up and made his way towards the blue-haired boy.

"Hi. I'm Daisuke," the red-haired introduced himself. Coolly, he stared up at those bright red eyes that he had seen the previous night.

"Riku's already left her class," Krad interrupted him just as he was about to speak. Unconsciously, he nodded. With a sudden, he stood up, startling the red-haired boy slightly. Without a sound, he packed all of his books and turned to walk out of the classroom. He stopped in front of the door and turned to face the red-haired boy.

"I'm Satoshi."
