Summary: Sora is a Bounty Hunter who hates vampires more than anything. One day a vampire named Riku shows up and makes Sora change his mind about one vamp. RikuSora AkuRoku CloudLeon
Riku returned through his window to see Demyx sitting on his bed. "What are you doing in my room, Demyx?" asked Riku.
"Your thoughts were a mix of hate, confusion, and sorrow. I was worried. You're still rather angry. Then again, you're always angry."
Riku continued to hold his glare on Demyx as he said, "I'm not always angry!" Demyx just chuckled and looked at Riku. "You just proved my point. What's wrong? We used to be closer and we would tell each other just about anything. What happened?" Demyx looked up at Riku with sad, sympathetic eyes. Riku turned away unable to hold his glare any longer. It was just to easy to forgive Demyx sometimes.
"Maybe I shouldn't have come back. I thought it would be nice to see everyone again, but I constantly want to strangle everyone."
"Something happened back at the castle. Am I right?" Demyx was an expert on analyzing things. He had pretty much been able to do it all of his life, well death.
"Yeah, Xehonart once again found out about my plans. I thought he was going to kill me, but he managed to do the one thing that I didn't want and that was keeping me alive. I still want to get out of his control but there's nothing I can do unless I find that key."
Demyx's eye's widened and he whispered, "You mean the key? We don't even know where it is or what it looks like. How are you supposed to find it?"
"Something tells me that I'll know when I see it. My dead heart tells me to follow Sora for some reason. I guess I think he has answers somehow. Demyx, please don't tell anyone. I don't want to go through what I went through the last few months again."
"I won't," promised Demyx as Sephiroth opened the door. "Out, Demyx. I need to talk to Riku."

Sora went back home after killing one demon. His clothes were an absolute mess when he had chopped the demon into pieces. Guts had splattered all over him when his blade went through the thick black hide of the beast.
"This job is more trouble than it's worth," Sora said as he stuck his clothes in the washing machine and jumped into the shower.
'What a night. Riku didn't attack me like he normally would. I found out there are more vampires living on this island. I find out that Cloud likes Leon and will do anything for him. There are demon guts all over me and my clothes. If this keeps up I might as well stick a name tag on me saying, "Bounty Hunter up for grabs".'
He finished taking a shower and put on some more comfortable clothes. Sora looked at his phone and debated on telling Leon about Cloud. After a few minutes, he decided to call. Dialing the number, Sora waited for Leon to pick his phone up. It took only a few seconds to realize that Leon was either ignoring it or wasn't at home. Sora looked at the time and thought it best just to go to bed since it was getting late.
The next morning, Sora woke up to the annoying beeping of his alarm clock. He dressed into his school clothes and headed out the door. On his way to the school, he ran into Riku who appeared in a lighter mood than the day before. Riku spotted Sora and smiled.
"I'm sorry about yesterday. I shouldn't have took everything out on you. It's just that it's hard to live this life while pretending to be human."
"Riku, why did you decide to come to school in the first place? Vampires don't need to go to school, especially since it's during the day most of the time."
Riku gave a dark look to Sora and whispered, "I told you that I'm looking for a key. I will do whatever I have to do to obtain it. Something tells me that I should follow you. It's ridiculous because you had no idea what I was talking about yesterday."
Sora nodded his head in agreement as they approached their classroom. When Sora walked in everyone in the class gave him a harsh glare that clearly stated that they were still pissed about him fighting with Riku.
They both took their seats and waited patiently for the day to end. Their teacher seemed to be talking slower than normal to Sora and Riku.
During the middle of the lecture, Riku could sense one of his siblings close by. He looked out of the nearby window to see that it was not one of his brothers but his sire, Sephiroth. Sephiroth peered through the window and looked Riku in his aquamarine eyes. Riku raised his hand and asked for permission to go to the bathroom. The teacher signed a bathroom pass and Riku walked out of the door as fast as he could. He appeared in front of Sephiroth a few seconds later.
"Why are you here?" Riku whispered as he looked around to make sure no one could see them. Sephiroth looked Riku over. "I told you yesterday not to come back. You're risking all of us getting killed from the Hunters. Riku, I want you back home within an hour."
Riku returned to the class and told the teacher that he wasn't feeling very well. She gave him a phone pass and he left the building. Sora watched him leave and wondered what came over him. Vampires don't get sick unless they're dying or are without blood for a long period of time.
School ended and Sora walked out of the classroom with eyes still full of hatred going through the back of his head. He walked around the streets to see if he could find Riku, but just couldn't.
'Why the hell am I looking for that bastard anyway?'
wondered Sora as he walked up to his house and opened the front door.--+--+--+--
Riku slammed the front door shut and glared at Sephiroth. "Why the fuck can I not do what I want to do any more?! I need freedom, Sephiroth! I feel like I'm stuck inside a glass bottle that's slowly running out of air. The feeling of being almost normal made me feel a whole lot better than staying here taking orders from someone who didn't give me a fucking choice in life!"
Sephiroth stood up and slammed Riku into the wall, causing the house to shake a little bit. "You did too have a choice! You know you could have stopped me at any point in time that night. Don't even put all of this on me! Who begged Xehonart to release you?! You may not think it, but I still love you just like I love your brothers and I do more for you than you think. Will you please do this one thing for me? I'm trying to keep this family safe."
Riku couldn't look his sire in the eyes because he knew that Sephiroth was right and his eyes don't lie. He also knew it was he who had freed him from Xehonart's grasp. Sephiroth leaned in and kissed Riku on the cheek. "I don't want to see you nor your brothers get hurt." Riku waited until Sephiroth stood straight up to walk off.
He locked himself in his room and just stared at the window. Demyx walked through, talking to someone that Riku guessed was Zexion. After a few seconds, Demyx's voice stopped as he could feel the anger in the house. Riku heard Demyx and Zexion quietly walk to his room and shut the door behind them.
Riku looked down and began to think about what he wanted. 'Why am I going to school? Sora's smart enough to take care of himself there. There's really no reason I need to go. Being normal means being like a weak human. I'm so confused about everything! My reason to stay by Sora- am I honest about it? I don't need to constantly follow him in order to see if he has the key. I know he has it, but I don't know how I know. I don't understand anything.'
He was always amused by Sora's expressions and knew that he was a little too excited about wanting to see Sora. He laughed at this and lay down. "What the hell am I saying? I will get that key no matter what."

Leon looked over the surrounding area from the tree he was sitting in. All seemed quiet and peaceful, but it wasn't to last. A fire demon sprung up out of the ground attacking everything around him. Leon rushed down and pulled out his gun-like sword. Just as he was about to slash the beast up, it struck first and scratched Leon's arm. Not even two seconds later, a blade cut through the demon and killed it as it disappeared into nothing. Leon looked up from his arm to see that it was Cloud who had slain the demon.
Cloud put his blade away and walked up to Leon, pushing him against a nearby wall. Leon struggled to escape, but failed from Cloud's amazing strength. Cloud looked down to see Leon's bloody arm. He grabbed Leon's arm and slowly licked the cut with satisfaction coursing through his veins. Cloud noticed that Leon had completely stopped struggling and just froze. He was blushing like crazy as Cloud continued to lick up his arm. Leon was about to speak when Cloud put a finger up to his mouth and told him to be quiet. Cloud used his other hand to create a portal beside the two. Grasping Leon, Cloud went through the portal and came out in his room.
--+--+--+--
Sora tried to call Leon multiple times and still got no response. "Dammit, Leon. Why the hell won't you answer me? Cloud is out there and ready to take your sorry ass in bed!" He got up and walked out the door, slamming it behind him.
Night was approaching and Sora waited for Riku to show up out of no where. It never came and Sora was actually feeling a little bit lonely since he didn't really have anything to do. He did kill a few weak demons and just walked around. Sora also looked for Leon who was also no where to be found.
"Where is everyone at? Is it Abandon Sora Day? You know it's bad when you want a vampire to come out and attack you just to give you something to do and someone to talk to."
After a few more hours of walking around, Sora decided to head back to his house and get some sleep.

Axel had emptied the wine bottle in less than two minutes. He was thirstier than he thought and always mixed it with animal blood to have an unique taste. He thought that the wine he had bought from that store was really good and wanted some more. He walked into the store to find Roxas standing around waiting on a customer from the back. Axel could smell that it wasn't a normal human. It was a fledgling vampire.'If this guy hurts the blonde, I'll kill him. The store would close and say goodbye to the best wine that I've ever had.'
Roxas looked up to see the strange redhead and smiled when he came in. "So, I take it you liked the wine?" Axel nodded and looked around. "It was very good. I forgot to ask you your name the other day."
"It's Roxas," said Roxas looking to make sure that his other customer was still where he was. He didn't see him and walked from behind the counter. Axel followed a bit behind him and could tell that the fledgling was still there.
All of a sudden, he jumped onto Roxas tearing his fangs at his throat. Axel ran while summoning his spiky chakrams and sending them towards the vampire. It hit it and sent the vampire flying. Axel grinned and said, "They don't call me Flurry of Dancing Flames for nothing," as he sent up a wall of fire at the vampire. He watched the young vampire burn to a crisp and put out the fire with a snap of his fingers.
Roxas looked up at his customer and saw that the vampire had managed to scratch his face and throat. Axel looked down to see the poor boy laying on the ground. He bent down and licked the blood off of Roxas.'Damn this kid tastes good. It's been a while since I've had human blood.'
Axel cleaned the boy's wounds and closed them up. He had the ability to heal wounds if he licked them and had done that to Roxas who was sitting there frozen.
When Axel stood up he looked at the charred floor he had caused and said, "Where's your mop?" He thought he might as well clean what he messed up. Roxas touched the side of his neck and realized he didn't have any cuts. "Y-You're a vampire? But you saved me."
"I knew if that fledgling killed you, the store wouldn't be running any more and that means no more of the best wine. Try to stay alive please so that way I won't have to go on an expedition to find the wine." Roxas nodded and stood up. "I'll clean that up. The wine's free for you. Just don't take more than one a night please."
Axel laughed and said, "No, I'll pay. I need somewhere to put this money that's just sitting on my chair." He walked to the back and grabbed a bottle. Axel walked back up to the front and put down two twenties on the counter as he walked out of the store. Roxas put the cash away and realized Axel had forgotten his change. "Axel, eh? A vampire and one who forgets to get ten bucks in change. What a strange guy who just saved my ass from another one of his kind. Sora's going to have to hear about this."
--+--+--+--
Sora's alarm rang as he got up. He looked around and heard a knock on his door. "Riku? Leon?" he said as he opened the door. "Oh Roxas, it's you. Honestly, you look like shit. What on earth happened to you? Is that blood on your clothes?!" Sora pulled Roxas in and confirmed that it was blood.
"Sora, would you believe me if I said not all vampires are bad?" Roxas asked looking down. Sora stared at Roxas suspiciously. 'He's rather pale. That has to be his blood on him, but I don't see any wounds.'
"There was a customer who is a fledgling that came into my store. I didn't know it at the time and then a customer who likes the wine came in. I didn't see the fledgling so I went to look for him and then I was jumped and being mauled and bitten by it. The other one, Axel, killed him and closed every little scratch on me. He's a vampire too and he saved me."
"I wonder if it's another sibling of Riku?" wondered Sora aloud. "What!? Riku's a vampire!? The popular guy that has fangirls running after him?" exclaimed Roxas. "Yes, that Riku. He's a vampire and he has other siblings. It may be one of his three brothers. I already know one."
Roxas stared at Sora and wondered if they could be brothers. Both were hot enough and it was a possibility since he knew that vampire siblings do not look like one another. "Well, I have to go get cleaned. I just wanted to let you know that one of the things you kill, just saved my life. He has red spiky hair and his name's Axel so don't kill him."
Sora couldn't promise anything since he was under orders to wipe out any nonhuman who's a threat to the island. It didn't sound as if Axel was a threat so it was possible he could spare his life. "I'll see what I can do, Roxas. Take care and sorry I didn't visit the store the other night. I was a little busy."
Roxas nodded and left, closing Sora's front door. "AHHH!! I'M RUNNING LATE!" yelled Sora pulling on some fresh clothes and running out of the door.
