Moon Light's Call
Hey all. I'm baaack! I know, one update every 2 years is pretty pathetic. But I plan to finish up this story finally. So yeah .
Standard disclaimer: I don't own the fabulous characters drawn by the artist known as Maki Murakami. But, my story, so copy it and die…

Yuki massaged his temples "Just…get over here and clean the damn thing up."
"Sure thing! Be over there in a jiffy!"
Hearing a click on the other side, Yuki hung up the phone, shaking his head. 'Of all the places to call…' Taking a deep breath, he walked over to the bed and sat down, laying a hand on the sleeping body of Shuichi, who just turned over in his sleep.
"Sleep well…"
At these words, Shuichi turned over in his sleep, drooling slightly as he dreamed of chasing Yuki. Shaking his head, Yuki stood up and walked over to the couch, waiting on Sakano to arrive. In mere minutes, a knock came from outside.
"Knock knock!! You're cleaning la-uh…man is here! I'm here to bring about the sunshine happiness back into your room". With a sigh, Yuki got up and preceded to unlock the door to what he knew would be an overabundance of cheer and happiness.
"Shut up you idiot. You'll wake mini-vamp over there." Yuki opened the door only to find Sakano in the doorway dressed in a pink cleaning lady outfit.
"Oh don't worry, he's probably so tuckered out from all your vigorous activities that nothing I do will even shift him. And in case you're wondering, I don't always dress up this lovely for customers! You're just a special case as always." With this, Sakano pinched Yuki's cheek and bounced into the room carrying a large bucket of cleaning supplies. "Now where is this area that require atten- oh that must be it. The uh…large body shaped pool of red stuff. No worries! It'll be gone soon enough and you can get back to your happy carefree lives". With this statement, Sakano went to work, whistling cheerfully as he began to clean up the dark stain.
Rubbing his temple, Yuki moved out of the way so he wouldn't have to be around the happiness that emanated from the man. Moving to the kitchen, Yuki pulled up a chair and sat down, slouching over as he pulled yet another cigarette out and light up. Sitting back, he took a deep, well, breath, and exhaled, sending a cloud of smoke out around him. From behind him, the sounds of cheerful whistling were accompanied by rather loud snores from the now unconscious Shuichi. In a few hours, Yuki knew he would be awake and hungering for more blood. And of course, being the mature vampire in the matter, Yuki would have to procure said blood. Not really looking forward to a night stalking humans with a hyper now dead teenager, he decided that the best course of action was to draw blood ahead of time and bring it back.
His course of action decided on, Yuki took one more inhale of smoke, snubbed out the butt, and stood up. Yuki walked over to a small, unobtrusive cabinet and opened it, showing inside a kit that some blood bank was probably missing at that moment. Pulling out the bag, needle, and tubing, Yuki stuffed them into a jacket pocket. Instead of having to face the cheerfulness once more, Yuki turned instead to the window, opened it, and gracefully leaped out to the street several stories below. Yuki landed below with a soft patter of feet and stood, straightening his clothes as he did. No use stalking if you didn't look your best. Yeah…just like no use having a blood slave only to turn it into a vamp. No new blood from avenue now is there… Yuki shook his head and walked down the street, eyes wary for some unknowing passerby who would do. This thought had been coming to his mind recently. For in truth, he really had bought Shuichi in the first place as a pure blood slave. And instead of happily keeping him a source of food, he acted rashly and turned him into yet another mouth to feed. Yuki shoved these thoughts out of his head as a young woman walked down the street, eyes lowered. Perfect.
"Excuse me miss, but I appear to me lo- AHHHHHH! Son of a-!!" Yuki cried out in pain and grabbed at his eyes as they felt like they were burning from his sockets.
"That teaches you to sneak up on women at this hour!" The woman had apparently been holding a can of mace in her hand for protection from strangers during the night. Yuki growled frighteningly and straightened up, forcing himself not to be weak and cry like a little baby. The woman gave a little meep, and took off full speed down the road. Well, full speed for a human that is. Yuki caught up to her in a flash and knocked her against a wall, pinning her there.
"Woman. That. Was. My. Eye." Using his full force of persuasion, Yuki looked straight into her frightened eyes and glared into them until they slackened into an unfocused look. Lowering her to the pavement, Yuki got out the blood drawing equipment and inserted the needle. All the he had to do now was wait.

Ayaka hugged him, "it's fine. As long as I'm with you, I know I'm safe". Hiro closed his eyes and breathed in her scent. He felt Ayaka smile against him then she pulled back. "Really though, I am hungry. Do you think we could go ask someone were there's some food?"
Hiro chuckled and unwrapped his arms from her. "You really do know how to speak to me." Taking her hand, Hiro led the way out the door and towards fuller stomachs. After successfully being directed to an IHOP and eating till bursting, Hiro found a phone to use and dialed in the number for Moon Light's Call. Leaning against the wall as it rang, Hiro watched Ayaka, smiling slightly as she looked out the window.
"Moon Light's Call for all your vampire needs, blah blah blah, what." It was obviously K on the other side and he was tired of playing shop.
"K, it's me. Hiro. I got Ayaka back safely. We don't really have a way to get back though, is there some way you guys can come get us or send a car?"
"Oh well if it isn't little wolfie. Yeah, we can figure something out. Maybe I'll send the dog catcher by" a chuckle came through the line "serious though. I'll send a driver by as soon as possible. Where you guys at?" Hiro told him and hung up, walking back to the table.
Ayaka smiled and turned back to him. "So we're going back now?" Hiro nodded. "What'll happen once we go back? Will they put you, back in that place?" Hiro shuddered, thinking of his small room back at Moon Light's Call where he'd been kept.
"Preferably not. I'll talk to Sakano and see what we can work out".
The creative juices have stopped for the night. But now that it's summer, I plan to keep writing until this story is finished (FINALLY!). So expect semi (weekly?) updates. Who knows, keep tuned. Reviews?
