Chapter 3

(Dante's pov)

I woke up the next morning feeling in pain from last night's incident and went out of the guest room.

"Morning, Dante." Mizuki smiled.

"Morning...ow..." I winced in pain.

"How do you feel?"

"Still in pain but not as bad as before." I groaned.

"Sis told me you need to stay inside for a few days or so you can recover. You were very lucky you didn't break any bones then you'd have to be in the hospital." She said as she starts preparing breakfast.

"No kidding. Hey...are they people like Rachael roaming around the city?" I asked as I sat down on a chair.

"Not many. Though I hear they were some groups that hunt Darkstalkers whether they are a threat or not. I can understand how paranoid they are but to kill Darkstalkers aren't a permanent threat has me concern of their motives."

Mizuki puts the bowl of Miso soup on the table and I looked at Mizuki confused.

"Soup?"

"Yup. Expect that for breakfast every morning." She chuckled.

I carefully got on the chair and ate the Miso soup. It was okay admittedly and finished it after 20 minutes.

"That was good. Ow..." I said as I cautiously got off the chair.

"Careful, Dante. No need to rush." Mizuki warned me.

"I know."

I walked to my bed and laid down.

(Rachael's pov)

I was on the rooftop with uncle Banpaia Chõsokobe in his human form having a conversation.

"So you're telling me your friend may not be human, correct?" He asked me.

"According from the vampire Darkstalker. I can't say for certain."

"You should keep an eye on him. For all we know he could be a potential target for the nobles from the Makai realm." He said as he starts playing his Shamisen.

"Makai?"

"Home of the Darkstalkers. Where I was born. Along with my little brother, Keiji."

Ah yes...Keiji Chõsokobe. The wild man of the family. Always loves to get himself into fights.

"So why be in Japan?" I asked.

"The Makai realm is a very hostile realm filled with demons who want control for the realm or so I heard when I was a child. It wasn't safe for me and my brother so my mother put the both of us in Japan. So...here I am."

"Wow..." I said rather surprised.

"Yeah...anyway...if your friend isn't human then you best you keep him out of trouble if he's not a threat." He sighs.

"..."

"You're worried you might lose your friendship with him, aren't you?" He looks at me with a concern look on his face.

"Yeah..." I mumbled.

He was silent for a second.

"I'm sure you'll have him understand his situation..."

I hope so...

(Dante's pov)

"You're not going to be sleeping on the bed the whole day, are you? Mizuki asked me.

I looked at her and chuckled.

"Maybe." I shrugged.

"You don't have to do that you know."

"Give me a reason why..." I looked at Mizuki confused.

"You might starve."

"Okay. Okay. You got me by the balls. But I have to rest my wounds."

"Not for the whole day you won't."

Point taken.

2 hours later.

I was sleeping on my bed peacefully when I suddenly felt a sudden cold breeze. I wake up and I found myself surrounded by darkness.

"I see you're awake." Said a voice.

It sounded like me but...demonic.

"Who's there!? Show yourself!" I said kind of mad.

"You sure about that?" The voice asked.

"Do I have to make you show yourself?" I growled.

"My, such eagerness. Such fire for such words. Very well..." He said in a rather joking manner.

Footsteps were approaching my direction. When he showed himself, it's...me...but he had no shirt, average built but with a little more muscle, pure white eyes, tailored pants, no shoes or socks on, sharp demon talons, demon horns on his head and a somewhat long demon tail.

"Satisfied?" He smirked.

"You look like me...but a Darkstalker..." I said in shocked.

"That's because I am you. The darkness is sealed into your heart waiting to unleash it's true power. Resisting it's power is futile." He chuckled.

"What are you...?"

"I am an incubus. A demon of lust for women." He chuckled darkly.

"Why am I here?"

He chuckles darkly even more and smirked evilly.

"To show your true self that's been sealed in you the day you were born. Now all you need to do is release your power to show those who oppose you fear."

"I don't want to be a Darkstalker...I just..."

"So you can be a normal human being. Too bad. Sooner or later you'll have no choice but to use your power cause other Darkstalkers will try to kill you. Better get used to it cause you're normal life just went to the bottom depths of hell." He smirked as he walked away.

I closed my eyes and I wake up to find myself in my room. I get off of the bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. As I look at my reflection, the Darkstalker version of myself is smirking at me. I just growled in anger and just started washing my face with water.

(Rachael's pov)

I went home to check on Dante and I see him somewhat annoyed.

"Is something the matter?" I asked him.

"Yeah. I just had a word with a Darkstalker in my dream saying he's me. Am I really human?" He sighs.

"I'm not sure. If you want I can check on your blood if you have the blood of a Darkstalker's."

He thought about it for a minute and nods.

I took out a syringe and once I took some blood in the syringe. I see black blood in the syringe.

"Oh no..." I mumbled.

"What?"

"...You bear the blood of a Darkstalker..."

He looked in complete shock.

"How do you know that?" He asks.

"Most Darkstalkers I take blood samples to study on have this color of blood and judging from this blood...you have demon blood in you."

"Fuck...he wasn't kidding." He mumbled.

"Mind telling me what the Darkstalker you saw said he was?"

"He said he's an Incubus."

I immediately backed away from Dante.

"What?" Dante said rather confused.

"If you bear the blood of an incubus then you better keep your distance from me or Mizuki."

"Why?"

"They are demons of lust and I swear the moment they see an attractive woman they immediately have sex which sometimes results the woman to die from having their soul devoured from them and...I shit you not...sometimes the woman will bear the child of a half demon." I shivered.

Dante's reaction was pure shock and somewhat disgust.

"In other words, I might not control my urge for sex." He said with a worry tone.

"I'm not certain but if it does come to that I'll have to find a solution to prevent you from going nuts for sex. Just keep your distance...an incubus can get wild when they smell a woman's scent." I said as I backed away one more step.

"I'll keep my distance. I don't want to do that to rape a friend." He shuttered.

He goes to his room and I shivered hearing that Dante is an incubus. I worry he won't like being a Darkstalker if people hunt him down.
