Queen of Darkness
Disclaimer: I don't own anything that I am writing about. Some company in Japan owns the characters. Please don't sue me, as I have nothing but a little dog kennel that I live in. And you can't have that.
AN I would just like to make a few comments about some of the reviews that I got:
Nova- I hope that you like the way that I do this. And don't worry things will get plenty mixed up.
Lillia, Angle, and Ashy- thank you for the positive reviews. And I hope that you like the next chapter.
Chapter 2
At the top of the stairs stood five guys that had been sculpted to almost look like gods. They gazed over the crowd noticing all the attention that they were getting. Slowly, they started to descend the stairs. The gaze of every woman in the place-not excluding a little group of vampires-followed them down the steps.
At the vampires' table, they were completely mesmerized be the guys. So much, that they actually forgot to breath. A fact that Noin became aware of, as she happened to pass by within sensing range. With a shake of her head, Noin made her way over to the table she had left not five minutes ago.
"You know, you may be immortal but you still have to breathe." Noin told them.
The sound of Noin's voice and the logic behind her words acted like a cold bucket of water on the five awe struck girls. Everyone took a silent breath, but did not stop looking at the god like specimens that slowly descended the stairs.
Noin shook her head and said, "Oh to be young and in love. Some of you younger than others."
This got Relena's attention. After all she was not one to take her age lightly. "Hey!" she exclaimed.
"Well, I'm sorry, Lena. But you're not as young as you used to be." Noin said apologetically. "And they are all younger than you are."
"I know that," Relena said, "I made them all."
"Well then you can tell them to quit drooling all over the floor. And you can remind them that they can not eat those boy's no matter how much thy want to eat them." Noin reminded Relena tartly.
"I think they want to eat them. But not in any way that you would forbid them to." Was Relena's come back.
Noin laughed and walked away. Relena sighed, then took a deep breath and proceeded to shake everyone into reality. It wasn't that hard after all the guys disappeared into the crowd.
"Ohhh, they look good enough to eat," Dorothy moaned.
"Noin just reminded me that was can't eat them, not here anyway." Relena dashed Dorothy's hopes.
"There is more than one way to eat someone." Sally countered.
"She's right," Hilde agreed. "Even those who are not of our kind use that exact same phrase."
"Well, no one ever said it around me in my time." Relena said.
"That may be," Cathy agreed, "but your time was several hundred years ago. I know that I had said that same phrase in my time."
"But that is because you are the youngest here." Relena said densely.
"My point exactly." said a triumphant Cathy. "I'm the youngest so I should know what is appropriate in this day and age."
Relena opened her mouth to say something but thought better of it. So she just closed her mouth and shook her head. I really walked into that one, she thought bitterly as everyone else at the table laughed.
They were laughing so much that they didn't see or sense a certain violet eyed young man with chestnut hair-that was in a long braid- come up to the table. He tapped Hilde gently on the shoulder to get her attention.
As soon as he touched her, Hilde recognized him from the group of guys that had entered the club a few minutes ago. She turned towards him with a big smile on her face.
"Hi, I was wondering if you would like to dance?" he said, returning her smile with one of his own goofy grins.
"Sure." Hilde replied. Then to the others she said, "Watch my drink, will ya?"
After she had received a nod, Hilde stood up and let herself be led away by the hand. As they got the dance floor the band started a new song. A slow song. Neither one seemed to mind as the guy put his arms around her waist and her arms went around his neck.
From the table they could just barely see the couples heads. It was enough to that Hilde looked like she was in heaven. The guy looked more than a little bit pleased with himself. In the crowd, people looked at the couple with envy.
"I wonder," Cathy mused, "if he knew everything about Hilde, would he still be comfortable having her that close to his neck?"
This brought on another bout of laughter.
"She has a good point though," Sally said wiping the moisture from her eyes. "Would any body let us that close to their necks if they knew who we really are."
"That is a pretty stupid question." Dorothy said. "Of course they wouldn't let us any where near them."
"I've got another question that may sound stupid." Cathy stated. "Why did she ask us to watch her drink?"
"She asked us because –as you should know- it is expected. And because we are not immune to all of those things that people put in drinks." Relena informed her.
"Do the drugs have the same effect on us as everyone else?" Cathy wanted to know.
"No," Sally said. "Certain drugs that knock everyone else out can poison us. We can't die from it but it can make us very sick for along time. So sick that we can't even go hunting or eat anything."
"I see," a shocked Cathy said.
"Yes. Even though not much can hurt us, we still have to watch out." Relena told her trying to burn the fact onto her brain.
"And I thought that you said there would be no lessons tonight. That we were going to go out and have some fun." Cathy teased.
"There is a lesson to learn almost everywhere." Relena retorted. "Besides, you're the one who was asking all the questions. So we had to answer them as fully as we could."
Cathy's jaw went slack when she saw that Relena's words were true. She tried to compose herself but failed miserably at it, because everyone saw and started laughing. She tried to act like she was pouting-which only made them laugh more-but again she failed and started laughing with them.
"Can we change the subject to something a little less morbid?" Dorothy asked. "Like Cathy said we are here to have some fun."
"And your saying that laughing our heads off isn't any fun?" Relena asked.
This was followed by more laughter. Dorothy got herself under control then said, "You have a point there."
Out on the dance floor the song had just ended and Hilde drew away from her partner. She looked up into his face and smiled.
He returned her smile, before leaning close to her ear and said, "Do you wanna go somewhere and talk?"
"Sure," Hilde agreed. "I just wanna get my drink."
"Me too," the guy answered. "Why don't we split up and then I'll come get you?"
"Good idea. I'll see you in a bit," Hilde said brightly, then she turned and walked away.
The guy just watched her as she made her way back to the table she had been sitting at. After a minute, he turned in the opposite direction and headed to the table that he had been sitting at.
As he approached the table he saw that all four of his friends were still sitting there. Looking like they had hardly moved at all.
"What are the four of you just going to sit around here all night?" he asked jokingly.
"Shut up, Maxwell," said the boy with black hair and eyes.
"Man, Wufei, what's up with you? We came here to relax. So why don't you do that." Maxwell said.
"How can one relax in a place where people act so undignified! I can't believe that you brought me here!" Wufei fumed.
"It's easy to relax here," Maxwell said, not taking notice of his raving friend and sat down. "All you have to do is go up to someone and ask them to dance."
"That my be all well and good for you, Duo Maxwell, but I have more price and dignity than you." Wufei stated.
"That is enough from the both of you," said a blonde boy. "Duo both you and Wufei have your own ways to relax. So why don't we all just do our own thing and get along."
"Always the peacekeeper aren't you, Quatre." Duo said. "Well at any rate, I'm off."
"What are you leaving?" Quatre asked.
"You had better not be leaving!" Wufei shouted.
"No I am not leaving." Duo assured Wufei. "I'm going to go talk to this girl I was just dancing with."
"Oh." said Quatre. "Then what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with her?"
"I just came over here to get my drink. Then I am going to go over to the table where she had her drink. After that we're gonna find some where to talk." Duo explained. "Well I should get going. Later."
The four boys at the table watched as Duo disappeared into the crowd. Quatre looked at the others around the table. Trowa and Heero looked as indifferent as always. While Wufei looked like he was ready to kill someone. Namely Duo. Quatre just sighed and shook his head.
Meanwhile, Hilde was being teased unmercifully by her friends.
"So, you two are going to talk, huh?" Relena said slyly.
"Yes," Hilde said as if it were nothing.
"Just talk?" Cathy wanted to know, saying it equally slyly.
"Yes." Hilde said again.
A look was exchanged between the four girls before Dorothy said, "You expect us to believe that?"
"Why wouldn't you?" Hilde asked getting annoyed with this little game.
"Because your you." Sally concluded. When Hilde just looked confused she continued. "Hilde come on. You are the biggest flirt of all of us. And your going to go somewhere to 'talk' with a really good looking guy. What would think if you were in our shoes?"
"Alright I see your point." Hilde said defeated.
Just then Hilde sensed Duo making his way towards the table. "And," Hilde continued, "that doesn't mean anything will happen."
Before anyone could say anything, Duo walked up to the table wearing a smile with a beer in his hand.
"Well, shall we?" he asked.
"Sure," Hilde said getting up. "See you guys later."
The four girls waved as the couple walked away.
"Twenty bucks says that they start making out by the time the nights over." Relena told them.
No one took the bet, because they all knew that Hilde would never be able to just talk with that guy.
Duo and Hilde walked around the club for a while before they found a table that no one was sitting at. The pair sat down and had a sip of their drinks before they started talking.
"I guess I should start by asking your name?" Duo said with a goofy grin.
"That would be a good place to start," Hilde agreed with a small smile. "I'm Hilde Schbeiker."
"You may have to write that one down," Duo said laughing. "I'm Duo Maxwell."(AN. You may recognize the line from "Titanic" I really didn't mean to copy it just sort of happened. But I am not claiming it as my own.)
"Charmed." Hilde said. "So, Duo what do you do?"
"I have a strange job actually." Duo said a little nervous.
"I won't laugh. I promise." Hilde assured him.
"Okay. Because you promised." Duo said. He took a breath and continued. "I'm a vampire hunter."
