"Ooook!"
"What's wrong with Ray?" Max asked as he came into the room. Tyson looked at the baby blue eyed boy, "He said he was tired…but I've noticed that he's been very sleepy lately," Tyson pointed out. Then Kenny, Kai and Hilary appeared in the doorway.
"What are you talking about, I've seen Ray outside at three o'clock in the morning, he doesn't go to bed early," Kai announced. Hilary and Kenny nodded. Tyson rolled his eyes. "Yeah whatever…maybe Ray's a vampire!" Tyson announced! "What!" they all gasped.
"Just kidding, Just kidding…okay!" he said. They all nodded. "But…Ray was doing some weird stuff outside…I remember seeing a rabbit or something run past him, and right when it ran in front of him, it disappeared, so Tyson might have a point there." Everyone looked at Kai with wide eyes!
"Wait what! Kai you believe in vampires!" Max gasped. Kai crossed his arms. "Do you want to know something that some people had to learn in the abbey?" Kai announced.
Tyson and Max nodded and the other's just smiled.
So Kai sat down and took a deep breath. "Okay you see I've kept this a secret for a long time…At the Biovalt abbey, most of the boys were taught to become vampire hunters…I was one of them., I even killed a lot of vampires with…these," Kai then reached into his pocket and took out a bunch of little golden bullets. "Vampires are dangerous…very dangerous…one killed my parents," Kai announced.
Hilary gasped. "They killed your parents!" Kai nodded as he sighed. "I'm sorry!" she said. Kai got up. "It's fine…it happened a long time ago, it's better if I forget about it," the slate haired boy said.
Kai then got up and started to his room when the sound of rustling in Ray's room. They all looked as they noticed the doorknob turn. They watched as the door slowly opened and Ray appeared. It wasn't that long for Ray sleeping but he was now wide awake. He looked at everybody that were looking at him. "AHHH! Don't scary me like that!…I'm going outside to relax," Ray announced with his cheerful smile on his face.
They watched as Ray went outside to the darkness as disappear.
Hours have passed and Kai, Tyson, Kenny, and Max were already in bed, sleeping. Hilary was reading her new teen magazine she got this morning when Ray walked into the house. "Hey Ray!" she said with a smile. She looked at Ray who smiled back at her. Then she noticed something red below the neko's lower lips. "Ray?…is that blood around your lower lip?" she asked. Ray's eyes widened as he licked it off. 'Yeah it is blood,' he thought. "Oh it was just ketchup…goodnight!" then Ray dashed to his room.
The next morning Ray again slept in. "Tyson I think your right," Hilary announced while eating. Tyson shoved another spoonful of cereal and looked at Hilary. "About what?" he asked.
Hilary motioned everyone to get closer. "Last night I was up reading my magazine when Ray came in from his four hour walk or whatever he was doing and when he came back into the house…there was blood…on his lower lip, but he said it was ketchup, so I thought, Wait! Nothing opened at this time at night!" then Hilary turned to Kai, "Your not going to kill Ray are you?"
Kai stood up. "Probably…that's if he goes on a rampage which all vampires will do," he announced. Everyone frowned. "Maybe the White Tigers know he's a vampire….let's call and ask?" Max pointed out.
So Kai got on the phone and Mariah picked it up.
"Hello, Mariah?"
'Yes this is her…who are you?'
"Kai Hiwatari from the BladeBreakers."
'Oh I knew I recognized your voice, so what's up?'
"I have a question to ask…about Ray."
Mariah seemed to be quite for a while.
"Okay…Ray's been acting strange all of a sudden…I don't think he's human nor neko jin, he came home one night with blood on his lower lip and has been sleeping in a lot lately…and we all think, well he's a vampire!"
'A Vampire! Heck no! I've known Ray ever since he was small, and I think Lee would say the same!'
"Well okay…thanks, I guess, bye" after that Kai hung up the phone and turned to the others. "Mariah said that he's know vampire, 100 neko jin!" he said.
Hilary got up and cleared his throat. "I'm going to talk to him…I'll be back," she said heading to the dark bedroom that belonged to Ray.
She slowly opened the room, it was dark black, crimson and a little white. There was no window and you could hardly see what around you. 'Wow nobodies every been in his room since today,' Hilary thought. It was true no one was allowed in Ray's room, Just like Kai's!
She looked over to spot a queen size bed. Covered with red and black covers! 'I wonder why he wears brighter clothes were his room is all black and red,' she thought as she made her way towards the bed. She could still tell Ray was in bed, because of the lump under the covers.
"R-Ray…you awake…Ray," Hilary whispered.
She grabbed a hold of the covers and gently pulled. Only to see a hand covered in something grab the blanket and pulled it back. "Ray!" Hilary snapped. Ray then shot up in a sitting position and looked at Hilary. "What! Hilary! What are you doing in my room!" he snapped.
Hilary then noticed that Ray had dry blood all over himself. On his hands, arms, neck, and face. "Ray! I-Is that Blood?" she gasped scared. Ray's eyes widened as he threw the covers over his body. "Go away!" he snarled. Hilary listen to hear a low grow coming the boy.
She then took a deep breath. "Ray…I know, I know that your not a real neko jin," she announced. Ray's ears twitched as his growl got louder. "Kai and Tyson kinda found out before I did…they know it, and it's kinda bad that Kai should know…but now I can tell that you're a full…a full vampire!" she announced.
It was quiet, before Ray sat up. "Actually…I'm only half," he said. Hilary looked at him. "I'm only a half vampire, half neko jin." Hilary nodded. "Last night what you saw below my lip, was really blood…blood from a rabbit, I didn't want to hurt it, just one small bite at the neck, and just a little blood to take from it…but the poor rabbit's neck was so fragile, it broke I felt terrible, and it happened another time, too…I hate doing this!" Ray explained.
Hilary smiled. "So Kai won't have to kill you," she whispered to herself. Ray looked up and frowned. "Kai…wants to kill me?" Ray stuttered. Hilary looked up quickly, "No! No! No! He said he'd have to if you go on a killing rampage or something like that, not sure," she said with a smile trying to cheer the half vampire up.
Ray turned to the bathroom that was in his room. "If you don't mind Hilary, I would like to take a shower to clean this blood off," he announced. Hilary nodded and got up. "One question…how did you get all that blood," she asked. Ray just shrugged. "I don't really know, maybe I bit someone last night and didn't know it," he answered. Hilary quickly felt her neck when she heard Ray laugh. "I'm kidding, even if I bit you, you still wouldn't become a vampire…I'm only half, you'll probably loose blood, depending on the amount I take and then it would just look like a spider bite when it heals, so don't worry," he laughed. Hilary laughed a little, too.
As Hilary walked into the kitchen the other's looked at her with conserved face. Tyson was the first to speak! "What happened did he bite you? Are you a vampire! Are you alive or dead? And how does his room look?" he asked really fast.
Hilary sat down. "Well…he is a vampire, but only half, and even if he bites you, you won't become a vampire! Good thing! And he tries not to kill animals but he needs to get the blood from something! And his room is dark…very dark!" Hilary announced. Kai smiled witch cause d Hilary to look at him. "And he is afraid that your going to kill him, so don't scare him okay," she announced. Kai just smirked and gave a small smile. "Whatever."
