Riho, Shido, and Yayoi stood in Tokyo square. They had traveled all over Tokyo and there was no sign of their mysterious breed. Shido wasn't looking anymore or at all for that matter. His mind was still in another time. He couldn't shake of the feeling that his memories had something to do with this night breed they were tracking. As the group began walking, Shido stopped. He could sense something coming.
"It's here." He said.
"Is it a night breed?" Yayoi asked.
"No. This is different." Answered Shido. The presence he felt was familiar, something from the past.
"Um.Shido-san. I think I found our breed." Riho said. She pointed at a dark haired woman who was leading a man down a dark alley.
"Stay here." Shido said. Shido and Yayoi ran after the woman. Riho sighed and went back to the car. Shido and Yayoi caught up to their breed in the alley. She turned away from her meal and stared at the pair before her. Her brown eyes turned yellow as she bit into her finger. A bushido blade appeared from her blood. Shido was frozen, she was a vampire, but why did she look so familiar?
'Giulietta?' He whispered to himself. 'But it can't be.'
While Shido was thinking, Yayoi pulled out her gun and aimed at the vampire's chest. She looked at Shido who was like a deer in headlights as he watched the vampire charge at them. He came to when he heard Yayoi's gun go off.
"No!" Shido screamed as the vampire hit the ground. There was a brief groan then the vampire passed out. Shido went to the vampire's side and checked the wound. Luckily, Yayoi hit her in the shoulder. Letting out a relived sigh, he spoke.
"She's alive."
Yayoi put her gun away and kneeled by Shido. She was a bit confused.
"What's wrong Shido? Do you know her?" Yayoi asked.
"We need to get her out of here." Said Shido, ignoring Yayoi's question. Yayoi shrugged and left the alley. Shido lifted the vampire off the ground. Holding her closely to his trembling body, he headed to the car. Riho watched from the passenger's seat as Shido returned. Something about him seemed different. His look was distant, mysteriously relieved and happy, but distant.
Shido sat in the back with the injured vampire. His mind was racing as he caressed her face. There were so many things he wanted to know. Things he didn't want to know, but had to understand. The vampire groaned and opened her eyes.
"Shido?" she whispered. "Are you real this time? Or are you another dream?" Shido took her hand and placed on his face.
"No dream." He whispered back. The vampire smiled and closed her eyes again. Riho watched. Her face red with jealousy. Why was Shido so tender towards a vampire that was killing innocent people? Guni watched Riho and decided that she should exploit Riho's jealousy.
"So Riho. You jealous?" Guni asked nudgingly.
"Shut up. You evil little imp!" Riho retorted. She turned in her seat and watched the cars go by. Riho was jealous, furiously jealous. She and Shido had a special relationship. She was apart of him and he apart of her. And no one, not Cain, Yayoi, or even some mysterious vampire from Shido's past was going to come between that. She'd make sure of it.
