Vampire Huntress

Chapter 2 - First Taste Of Vampirism

Her head felt groggy and lifeless as she came back to reality, as the droplets of water began to soak her exhausted body. She remembered being bit by her vampire uncle and the rest was still a bit foggy. Sitting up she brushed her wet hair out of her face, then brought her hand up to where the bit mark was and sighed.

"Well that's what I get for being stupid and coming out here alone after what happened." she mummbled to herself trying to stand up but falling to the ground instead. Growling in frustration she hauled herself back up onto the bench. Laying on the bench she closed her eye's, until the sound of a twig being snapped startled her, making her eye's open again.

"Who's there?" She asked trying to sit up, but in pitch black you couldn't really see anything.

"I knew he would do this to you and just leave, like the pitiful creature he is." Replied a males voice.

Kaoru sat up fully and could see most the things in front of her, even in the black moonless night. "What do you mean? Who are you?" She asked again this time taking in the man before her. He wore black leather pants and a blood red shirt that matched his long red hair.

"My name is Kenshin. I'm just like you, turned against my will." He said as he quietly stepped next to her and sat down beside her. "Really? I have no idea whats going on, he just showed up telling me my father was a Vampire and then changed me." She said as the rain became harder and she winced as it hit her face.

He sighed as he placed a hand over hers, then bringing it up to his lips he kissed her knuckled lightly and whispered. "I'll help you understand, just like my friends helped me." Her eye's lit up, even in the rain he could probably tell and she bowed her head.

"Thank you! You don't know what this means to me." She whispered taking her hand from his and pushing back some of her hair that had fallen in her face.

She watched him quietly until he leaned back and sighed. "I'll tell you everything you need to know if you came with me tonight." She looked at him and nodded her head. "OK, but what should I twell my mother? I can't possibly leave her after my father died, she'll die." Nodding his agreement he stood up and motioned to her house.

"You go and tell your mother what you want, tell her the truth if you wish, that's what I did, only it was the other way around. My mother was killed and I told my father father who took the news exceptionaly well. It's only ten-thirty, I'll pick you up in your room at midnight."

She smiled as she thanked him again and picked up the groceries as she raced to her house to confront her mother about having to leave her for a long period of time.

Kenshin watched her run across the road and in a flicker of light her was gone to tell his friends about the new addition to their Vampire Hunting squad.

Opening the door her frightened mother ran to her and began to relax when she noticed her daughter was alright. "Where have you been? You left here about seven it's already way past ten!" Her mother lectured as she took the groceries from her hand and placed them on the counter.

"Mom I have some bad news, I think you should sit down." Kaoru said as she gently placed a hand on her mothers shoulder to guide her to the couch and to comfort her.

"What's wrong Honey?" Her mother asked as she took the seat her daughter had showed her too.

"I know why father was killed." Taking a deep breath as tears began to resurface but didn't fall she sighed. "Because of me."

Her mothers face softened as she pulled her daughter in for a hug. "Don't be silly, you have nothing to do with his death, I'm just glad your not dead." Kaoru shook her head as thunder clasped together over head and she boed her head.

"No... It is my fault, you see the guy who killed father was a man named Shishio, his own brother, my uncle." She said letting it all digest into her mothers mind before she continued. "He came by again tonight as I was laying on a bench in the park, he told me why he had to kill him and it was because of me!" Her voice began to grow as her hand fisted and she banged it against the table in front of her.

"He... Didn't hurt you did he?" Her mother asked alarmed, as she patted her daughters back. "Mother, there's something else you need to know about dad. He's a Vampire."

Her mothers head lowered as tears fell from her eye's as well. "I know... I over heard him talking to someone a few weeks after we started dating. He had mentioned being a Vampire, I think his exact words were: "I don't care if I'm a vampire, I wont hurt her." I knew who he meant and I for somereason didn't mind dating a vampire, I felt different and safe with him around, and I never told him I over heard, so he never knew."

Kaoru listened to her mothers confession than lowered her head as she spoke. "Mother I'm a Vampire." Her mother shook her head. "No, your only half, the only way to become full is for..." Kaoru's head turned away in shame as she said the last part of her sentence, and her mother gasped. "He bit you? Coles brother bit you tonight didn't he?"

Kaoru nodded as she explained the boy Kenshin to her mother, she understood quite well and she went to pack her belongings she was going to take with her.

Kenshin entered the club he had left earlier that night and walked to the back to find his friends and coligues. He found them shortly and walked over to them. "Hey, I was right he's bitten her. She's getting her things ready to leave as we speak." He explained as the others nodded and a bouncy Misao came up to him.

"Kenshin, who is she? Is she nice? Do you think we will be friends?" Misao questioned bouncing around and spinning.

"She's the same age as you Misao, and I think you'll get along great." Kenshin said before looking at his watch and telling them he had to get back to her house.

He left them as he headed back to Kaoru's house.

The time went by quickly as Kaoru and her mother waited for Kenshin to show up in her room. S swift knock on her window announced his presence and Kaoru quickly opened it to let him in.

"Are you ready?" His voice was low as he spoke, "We must hurry my frinds are awaiting your your arrival." He said nodding to her mother when he finished.

"Yes." She answered as she kissed her mom and walked over to Kenshin. He nodded once more to her mother in farewell and gripped Kaoru around the waist, before he jumped out the window.

"You can fly?" She asked after she waved to her mother.

"Yes, it will be in your training as well." He said as she paled.

"You mean I have to learn to f-fly? What if I fall?" She questioned hesitantly.

"I could drop you now to get use to the fall?" He joked as she gripped his arm tighter, making him laugh. "N-no! That's OK!" She yelled as he began to loosen his griparound her waist and let go. "No, I think I will."

"You Jackass!" She yelled as she plunged into a pond of water. "Great, now I'm wet again! Thanks a lot!"

"No problem, ask anytime." He smirked as he reached out and pulled her into a standing position.

"Well that was a waste of time wasn't it?" She hissed as she drained the excess water.

"Come on." He said as he went to grab her wrist but she wretched it away. "There is no way in hell I'm flying with you again!" She said as she began to walk forward, then paused in her steps. "Uh, which way is it?" She asked as she cocked her head to the side.

Kenshin sighed and shook his head as she said that and let a smile cross his face. "This way." He said taking her hand and practically dragging her the rest of the way.

Misao and the rest of the group sat in the far back corner awaiting for their newest group memmber. Misao's childish side had ebed away a little while after Kenshin left. Two little girls played tag around the table and the youngest acidently ran into a guy who was staggering drunk over to them.

"I'm so sorry!" The girl said politly bowing. The guy just picked her up be the front of her navy blue dress and tossed her onto the table.

"Next time stay out of my way you little brat!" He said as everyone in the group jumped to the girls defense.

Misao stalked up to him angrily and fisted her hand together. "If you touch her again I'll knock you from here to the next century!" She threatened, but the guy smiled and gropped her chest, resulting in a raging Misao.

When Kenshin and Kaoru reatched the club, he leaned towards her and whispered into her ear. "Stay close to me, most guys here are wacked most of the time." She nodded and took a step closer for safety precautions.

A loud voice in the back of the club drew her attenstion to a young girl with long hair braided down her back. "You jerk! Don't you have any decency when it comes to woman!" She shouted at the guy who was now dubling over in pain as she punched him sending him flying out the door and into the street.

"Hey Misao! That's no way to behave in front of our guest is it?" Kenshin asked pulling Kaoru over to the still fuming girl. Misao looked at Kenshin than covered her mouth.

"Oh! I'm so sorry you had to see that!" Misao said grabbing hold of Kaoru's hands. "He was being mean and such a damn pervert, I didn't see you two here!" She explained, as Kaoru shook her head. "No it's alright. I'm Kaoru by the way."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Misao. I was also turned against my will, like you two. Kenshin helped me out now all of us are going to help you out, and your going to help us kill Shishio." Misao said as she led them to a table filled with people.

"They are all like us, and they will help you. This is Megumi." She said pointing to the woman on the far right, and continued from right to left. "Sanosuke or Sano, Yahiko, Ayame, Suzume, and Aoshi." Kaoru's eye's lingered on Aoshi for a second before her mouth practically fell open.

"Aoshi? Aoshi Shinamori?" Kaoru asked as he looked up and nodded. Kenshin and the others stared at her then at him when she said his name.

"Long time no see Kamiya-chan." His eye's glinted with mysterious danger as he said her name.

"It's Kaoru! Not Kamiya-chan! You know that Aoshi!" She growled then took a seat next to Kenshin and Misao.

"Yes, I know but it's so much more fun to antagonize you, my dear friend." He said quietly as everyone stared at the two. "What! I hate you! Youn know that!" She growled angrily at him

"Yes, I know that Too." He said after slinking back into the darkness of his corner.

Kaoru noticed the stares she recieved and rolled her eye's. "Now what?" She asked floding her arms and slumping in the seat. "How do you know Aoshii?" Misao finally asked as everyone else didn't say anything.

"Aoshi was a kid in my neighborhood about ten years ago. He came to visit me the morning of my sixteenth birthday and I kicked him out. We had been friends sense I was a baby, then he suddenly dissapears at the age of ten only to return when I barley remembered him." She explained as Aoshii watched her from side glance.

"You know the reason he dissapered, so why are you so mad?" Misao asked curiosly.

Kaoru shook her head, "I'm not mad, to tell you the truth, it's just that he returned after almost ten years, when he's twenty or so, and I sixteen! He could have at least come by sooner!" Kaoru said glaring at him again.

"I couldn't I was to busy training, then I was too busy training this dumnass." He said pointing to Kenshin, "And he still needs some training anyway." He smirked as kenshin glared knives at him.

"I've beat you plenty of times! Actually he's still working on Ayame and Suzume. They joined about a month ago." He said as he turned to the youngest one's of the group.

"How old are you?" Kaoru asked looking at the two cute girls.

"Suzume is ten and I'm twelve." Ayame said brightly.

"And they let two children into this place?" Kaoru asked looking at Misao and Kenshin for answers.

"I'm the owner, I inharited it from my parents. As long as their with me no one can kick them out." He answered.

"Where am I suppose to stay while I'm away from home." Kaoru asked looking at someone for that answer and Misao quickly complied. "You can stay with me! I live in an appartment, there's two beds, so I could have that ready for you if you like!" Misao explained eagerly.

Kaoru smiled and thank her for her offer. "I'd be glad to stay with you if you want." Kenshin nodded and so did everyone else. "Yay! Then it's settled, you'll stay with me!" Misao said excitedly.

It was around threeo'clock when they all exited the club and headed home for the night/morning. Misao showed Kaoru the way to her new appartment, it wasn't far from the club, about two blocks and they were there. Although Misao insisted they fly Kaoru wasn't up for another air bound adventure just yet, she would have her own soon enough.

"Here we are!" Misao said at last as she flung open a door to an appartment. The house was neatly arranged, the kitchen was to the left. The bedroom was on the other side of the kitchen. The TV sat against a wall not far from the window.

"Wow! Your place is so clean! Everything is in order!" Kaoru said still gaping at the furniture which was a deep green. Misao motioned for her to follow her into the bedroom. "You can take your bags and set them beside the bed without the quilts. I'll bring your comforter while you do that." She said exiting the room.

Kaoru examined the texture of one of the light blue sheets to find them silky smooth. "Wow, she has great taste!" She thought sitting on the bed to wait her comforter.

Misao arrived a few minutes later and they both put the comforter on the bed. "So how was it you came to hate Shishio?" Kaoru asked as they finished the covers.

"I was completely human like Aoshi, Ayame, Suzume and Yahiko. Megumi was a full Vampire, but Shishio had gotten angry with her parents, so he killed them. Me, I was a human until about two and a half years ago. He knew my parents nut they didn't know what he was till he demanded to take my mother or me from my father. My father wouldn't give either of us, so he was killed, but my moom was killed by him when she refused to bed with him, He then decided to turn me. I woke up a little while later in Aoshi's arms. Kenshin was there and so was Yahiko." She finished with her story, and Kaoru could only stare in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, you lost both your parents when I only lost one." Misao shook her head. "No it's all right, I've gotten over their deaths. It's just now I have to avenge them both." She said standing up, but stood stock still as the window in the livingroom shattered.

I would have updated sooner but, I just started school on Monday the 22nd, and I've had lots of things to do. I'm also on the girls soccer so I'm extremely tired when I get home. I have to run a mile and a half everyday!

Even though, discard the misspelled letters! I don't have spellcheck on my dads computer. On mine I do, but I don't have the internet, and the reason it takes so long to update is because I write it on my computer, then when I finish the chapter I write in a notebook, then I transfere it onto my dad's to update my story.

I would use a floppy disk but my dad's don;t have a damn floppy hole thingy! I'll update soon so please review!
