Each page chapter will be done in Italic and each chapter will in turn show peices of how the kindred come to be though the book will actually be incomplete with either pages missing, torn or unreadable though I only wish that I could come up with a form of old lost language for the vampires to put scattered amongst the pages that they can't decypher though if I do that the letters would just appear an nonsense that means nothing.
Also just so you all know it wasn't Kyuubi that named the book either, it was someone that had managed to collect some of the scattered pages and made them into a book, just so you know, appart from having a bunch of non important things it also has the kindred laws as well as prophecies. Yes I said that this is nothing like VtM, the things that Kyuubi has are nothing to do with any of the clans, so just cause he can hear voices doesn't mean anything, he doesn't have insight like the Malkav's. You might actually figure that out for yourself every time you read a page from the demons book.
The Book Of Demons - How it All Began
(There seems to be no date so its hard to tell when it was written)
For days now I have been hearing the non stop whispers of voices, voices trying to lead me astray of the path that others believe me to tread. You see the people of my village wish for me to follow the path of our great leader, thinking that I would be the most suited to take his place once he has been escorted by the Shinigami where all souls were thought to go, for everyone believes that if they are good and kind, they will be graced by being in the presence of the gods. As for me well I don't know what I believe, I've lived my life not bothering with what will happen once I die, as for wanting to be the next leader of the village, I don't think that I'm suited for the position not anymore, since the whispers have started becoming worse.
No it's not the first time I have herd these twisted voices, tormenting my mind, speaking of distubing things, wanting me to kill, slaughter, masicar, whispering's of sin's they want me to commit. The kinds of things that any man would get killed for since they are against the teaching's and law's that have been set in place that every village must follow. I would admit that even my soul isn't as pure as others, since it is thought that if a persons soul is pure they will have a pleasent afterlife. I have been hearing these voices since I could remember, but they seem to have progressed, becoming more and more frequent while growing louder as the years past, now they have become loud enough as though they were standing right beside me.
If your wondering, no it is not one individual voice that I can hear, though it was at first, slowly but gradually more seperate voices have joined in the whispers, voices of both male's and female's. Making my mind kaotic, sometimes I even think that other people think I'm insane, when I told my parents that I could hear these voices of people I couldn't even see they looked at me as though I was insane, passing it off as though I was only imagining things. Oh how I wish they were right, if only they could hear what these voices were saying, the nightmares that they would show me that would leave me awake at night in cold sweat.
Your wondering why I'm writing these things now arnt you? Once the voices started to get worse I went to the temple, I wanted to pray to the gods, to find out why they were letting the voices continue their torment. Eventually though I told preist, I asked him why the god seemed to be allowing the voices to torment me so, the old man never gave me a decent answer though, instead he spoke in riddles at first though I understood that he originally thought that they were there to guide me so that I would do good, when I told him that the voices were inpure, wanting to commit terrable acts and telling me that the gods were false. All he seemed to tell me though was to write everything down and to pray and give offerings to appease the gods to rid my mind of these un-natural things.

The voices, they whispers have changed. They want me... they want me to... they seem to becoming more demanding and persistant, I can't believe they would demand me to do something so terrable. I'm sure that if they keep demanding I'm sure to cave in and do what they wish, at first it was easy to ignore them, to block them out of my mind but now they have gotten to the point where I can't ignore or block them out at all, they seem to be getting stronger, almost as if they were feeding off of my very soul until there is nothing left of what ever part of me is pure. I feel as my mind and body as starting to react to what they want.
Now whenever I have nightmares I seem to sleep through them, no longer do I wake in fear, but now I can remember them, everything about them burnt into my mind. The blood covering my hands, dripping from my fingers, corpses littering the ground, bodies missing limbs, the look of terror etched on their faces while the earth soaks up their blood. It has been two months since I told the priest, since then I have been praying and placing offerings at the statues of the gods, the voices mocking my attempts to get rid of them, saying that its futile, that they'll always be there whispering, making my dreams of nightmares until there voices become a mere lullaby and the dreams they provide me with will become my desires.
I keep wondering if the things that they show me in my dreams are bit and pieces of things to come in the future or if they really are nothing but dreams, I would ask them but I've never tried to speak to them, I don't even know if I can. But I never told the priest about this but the dreams, I know that when most people dream they can't remember what it was about so they don't know if it feels real or not, but because I can remember mine they always feel real, I can always remember the metalic smell of the blood, the way it feels on my skin, the smell and sound of the burning houses, even the burning flesh of the corpses within the houses. While all of it feels so real I always get a sense that it will eventually happen, that the downfall of my village will be by my hands.
Tomorrow my brother and I are to go with the hunting party, it seems that there is a celebration tomorrow night in honour of the leaders birthday, my family have become excited it seems as though I he has requested me to sit beside him at the feast, I am to sit in the seat on his right side while his daughter sits on his left. Everyone in the village seems to have an idea that there will also be an important anouncement as well during the festivities, they seem to think that it has something to do with the leaders daughter and me.
I think they asume that there might be an engagement, I hope there isn't though, don't get me wrong his daughter is the most beautiful girl in the village, it's just that I'd rather marry a woman who I actually love though I do know that she loves me, I'd rather not have a relationship that is only based on a onsided love... Hmmm it appears that tne voices have grown silent, I didn't notice until know, I must have been to wrapped up in my own thoughts and musings while I was writing to even pay attention to them, I have noticed that they don't really like to be ignored, it seems to anger them more especially since I still have not given in to what they want of me. They might actually try to have their own little payback for me ignoring them, but for the moment I might enjoy the peice inside my mind for the moment until they start their whisperings again. Maybe I might even be able to have a peiceful sleep.

It seems that I was wrong, their punishment for me was a nightmare that for some reason I can't get out of my mind, I can't believe that it felt so real, ever since I woke up I've been having this uneasy feeling, the voices have come back and every now and then whenever I would remember parts of my dream they would snicker, the demons, it's what I have been calling them lately since to me they don't seem as though they are human, to me they don't even feel human, it seems as though that they know something and it's obvious that they wont tell me what it is.
I guess I had best be going, it seems that my brother is becoming impatient, I can see the excitement running through him, this is after all his first hunt and the creatures we're hunting are rather dangerious but then again we don't exactly hunt them all the time, I have seen them kill people though, I just hope my brother doesn't think that they are easy to kill, because we had made sure that no one knows of what these creature can do to a person. I have seen what can happen when you get bitten by them, it's as though the gods have cursed them because once they were human though they are still of flesh and blood like every other creature, they have an un-natural strength. I say they were once human because one of my friends were bitten by one when we were only children, right before my eyes he had mutated in to a monster.
I'm just glad that we don't eat them who knows what that could do to us, I don't even want to imagine if we would turn into a monster like them. If your wondering, we only kill them during the first full moon of the fifth month and offer them to the gods, when I was young I had asked about why we do it and Kaa-san had said that it was for their protection from the monsters and that the protection only lasts a year until the next hunt is to begin. I best be going no it seems that its getting closer to dusk and that is when we are to begin the hunt.

(No date has been written but the handwriting seems to have become more neater as though he has all the time in the world, no longer in a rush)
A month has past since my last entry, it seems as though everyone was worried about me, at the moment I can't really remember what happened during the hunt, but I was told that I was found unconcious not far from my brother corpse covered in blood, they couldn't figure out why I was covered in blood when I didn't have a single scratch or cut on me while it looked as though my brother was torn to shreds as though it was done by some wild animal. Kaa-san said that because of this they didn't hold the celebration, I feel as though there is something that they are not telling me, I need to go back to where it happened maybe then I can remember. I don't feel as though the gods will help me, its as though my mind has finally figured out that the gods are now false just like what the voices were telling me.
As for the voices, I can still hear them, but they seems to have become more quiet and less demanding though they still want me to kill, they also appear to be keeping something from me. Ever since I awoke I have felt strange, Kaa-san was surprised that I had finally awoken, since then her and everyone else have been asking me what had happened when we were hunting but I would tell them all the same thing and that was that I couldn't remember anything as though there was something blocking it from my mind, the only thing that I could remember was writing the last entry before the hunt. I think they suspect me of doing something since the preist told the village leader about what I had told him in confidence, it seems that no one in this village knows how to keep a secret not even someone who people go to in confidence especialy since they swear not to tell anyone, it seems the only being a person can trust are the gods.
Awhile ago Kaa-san had brought in food and a drink for me though it didn't feel as satisfying as it should, instead I still felt a deep hunger, I explained it to her but she only shrugged it off and said it might be because it had been ages since I last had a decent meal, though I knew otherwise. Another thing that I though was strange was that my sences seemed to have become heightened, I could see things much more clearer, my hearing... never before did I think that I had poor hearing, I am one of the best hunters in the village, but now it seems as though my hearing has become more advanced, I though I was imagining things when I could hear the heartbeat of others, my sence of smell it to seemed to have heightened I could smell everything clearly as though I've always been able to though I do find it odd that I can smell the scent of blood on everyone even though they don't have any cuts.
I should wait, it seems that everyone is keeping an eye on me, I will have to sneak out to go to the spot where my brother and I were found, I will then write down what I can remember, hmm the voices they seem to want me to go it seems like it is the only place where I will find out what happened.
(There seems to be a large space here before the writing begins again. Some of the writing appears to be hard to make out and there is what looks to be drops of blood as well as bloody fingerprints all over to page.)
I found out what had happened, it explains everything, why my body felt so different, why I have this insationable hunger, it what they did to me both the voices and the gods. I remember it all clearly now but I can't figure out why my mind had chosen to forget it. I was the one that killed my brother, my body and mind had given in to the voices desires and the dream I had came true, it was of me killing my brother, every single detail from the dream had happened even the bush then was engulfed in a blue flame, though now it looked like nuthing had happened at all. I could hear a voice though this one was nuthing like the ones that were already in my mind, this one was different, it said something about commiting a terrible act and giving in to the voices that were never ment to be within my mind.
The part of the blue flame then jumped over onto me, at first I couldn't feel it but then gradually as the flame changed to a crimson colour I could feel it buring into my skin, changing my body, before I passed out I herd the voice again it told me that my life would be forever cursed just like the beasts that my village hunts though unlike them I wont feed from the flesh of a human I will forever have an unquenchable thurst for the blood of humans, my body being dead while I'm still alive. It did seem as though it was still keeping things from me I guess I would find them out eventually. The voices though they now tell me things, I believe them more now, the gods are false, if they were real then they would have helped me when I needed it.
I'm thankful for what the gods did to me though, I feel as though I can never die, like I have become imortal since my body is dead though I'm still alive. The dreams I kept having before I killed my brother, they also seemed to have become real, I slaughtered everyone within the village once it was dusk, their blood staining my finger and clothes, the crimson liquid flowing from their wounds, I've found that my cainines are sharp, and they can become long whenever I will them to. They are sharp enough to pearce through skin, I can still feel the blood on my tongue of my victims, never before did I think that blood could taste so sweet, though I feel that if I feed constantly I will burst.
The voices seemed to have enjoyed the carnage that I had caused, I think that they can never get enough of it. They speak of abilities that I have since being cursed though they say that over time I will find out what these abilities are. It makes me wonder if like the other cursed beasts I can carry my curse on to others. The voices also say that I should change my name to that of one of the ancient demons of our lands, thinking on this I figured that if I did I should be called Kyuubi since I am the first of my kind which would mean that I am the most powerful. Heh they seem to have a large ego these voices since they think that it is the most perfect name for a being more powerful then any human or cursed creature who was engulfed in crimson flames aparently I'm the first being to be cursed with the elements of nature by a god at least thats what the voices say.
Hmm... It seems as though what the voices call werewolfs have smelt the blood, I can hear them howling outside calling their brethren telling them of food. It seems as though people from other villages will believe that those monsters had caused all this carnage, where as if I pretend that I tried to fend them off from my family but failed, everything seems to be working out well, no longer do I feel the emotions that humans feel, though I'm sure that I still can even if I'm no longer human. I'm sure that those monsters wont try and attack me, they never did fear a human even when they would be hunted down but now I will give them something to fear. I best hide my presence though I don't think that their curse will effect me now that I'm no longer human.
(The writing seems to have stopped here and there seems to be no other pages continuing from this pont.)
Well thats one chapter to Kyuubi's book done though none of the chapters have page numbers so it will be hard to tell if they are in order or not since the original transcripts were the only things with what looks to be something similar to page numbers the person who re-wrote The Book of Demons had a hard time figuring out which symbols go in what order since they were like the page numbers. Also the vampires don't know that the ANBU have also come across some of the transcrips from Kyuubi's book not even Kabuto knows, he doesn't need to he is only a medic not a historian. Only the historians among the ANBU have read the transcrips apart from the Saidami.
Anyway hope you like this little part cause there will be more like it and they will shed some light on how the vampires came to be but it wont show things like if the nine demons are still alive or not since no one knows how many pages there really are to the book. Yeah I know its short but the book isn't meant to have large pages and well I didn't want to over do it.
Nya...Ja Ne.
