AN: For those of you who reviewed my prologue, I'd like to thank you for your support and encouragement to write more for this. And YAY! I'm so happy to see and hear that there ARE Riho-haters out there! I'M NOT ALONE!

Also, I'd like to make a note that I had missed when I first started this fic. The NightWalker series had taken place in Yokohama when I had thought that it was in Tokyo. So to make this a bit easier for some readers, as well as myself, Let's say that Kagome moved to Yokohama to finish school while also for her brother's safety. Souta lives with their aunt and uncle in Kyoto. And while the Higurashi siblings are living in different parts of Japan, some close family friends offered to take care of the shrine until they returned.

Sorry about all that. It's been a very long time since I had seen NightWalker and I guess I had forgotten some things about it, minus the main characters' names.

Anyways, hope you guys enjoy this next chapter.

1st Night:
Night's Visitor Part 1

A silent sigh could be heard from Kagome as she continued to read a book she got from Souta on his last visit with her. It was a book on the occult with myths, legends, and stories from around the world, but mostly from the European region. She had already read about werewolves and was on the vampire section.

As a matter of fact, Kagome got really interested in these creatures but had to admit most of the things they had written about them seemed a bit farfetched to just plain ridiculous… not that she had ever met a real vampire before, let alone sensed the presence of one before but still it didn't hurt to read about them.

Like she had told herself many times… if there was such things as demons running amuck from the past to the present, the existence of vampires and such was pretty close to being a possibility.

The miko then felt someone looking over her shoulder and slowly turned to see who it was but wasn't prepared to find a handsome face so close to hers. It almost made her jump out of her seat. Not to mention she almost choked on a piece of pocky she was chewing on.

After catching her breath, she gave a half-hearted glare at the man who owned the office she was currently in before saying, "Christ, Shido-san! Don't sneak up on me like that!"

The said man just chuckled before apologizing, "I'm sorry, Kagome-chan. But you looked like you were really caught up in what you were reading. I was just curious as to what it was. Not anything that's full of smut, I hope…"

A faint blush appeared in Kagome's cheeks as she stared at the man in front of her, trying to think over her word carefully.

About seven months had passed since that night when Shido had met Kagome at the cemetery where her family's grave was located and the vampire had to admit that he had come to enjoy Kagome's company as well as her calming presence.

At first she looked so miserable with the thought of never seeing her family again and only being able to see her younger brother on weekend breaks and holidays, as well as summer vacation. But as time passed with him visiting her, she slowly began to open up and started acting like a normal teenager who had a much more mature view of the world and what's going on around her.

Sometimes he thought about asking her how she destroyed the night breed that killed her family but decided against it because it could have been something she did subconsciously and had no recollection of. Not to mention the memory of her family would make her depressed again.

Shido had grown to love her soft sweet smiles and everything else about her. She was innocent but not naïve when it came to innuendos and double meanings that he would usually say when his partner Yayoi was around. As a matter of fact, she would usually come up with a witty comment that would make him blush or make his male pride deflate.

But he didn't mind. That was one of the many things he found interesting about Kagome.

Although… deep down… he really did find Kagome to be attractive even though she usually wore her school that was actually the boys' uniform or something that made her appear to be a feminine-looking boy sometimes. It was on rare occasions that Kagome would dress in female attire, like dresses or skirts. And when she did, it was usually for her part-time job at a small club, working as a singer/entertainer of sorts.

(No, Kagome doesn't work at a strip joint. She's not old enough for that… even if she was, I wouldn't make Kagome do pole dances and lap dances in front of old geezers just for money.)

Back to the subject…

Kagome looked at Shido for a while before telling him, "I'm reading a book that my little brother gave me on his last visit. It's a book on creatures of the occult, like werewolves and vampires."

Shido stiffened for a moment, Kagome noticed. Sure, she had known that Shido wasn't human but not sure what he was exactly. His aura was dark but not evil and it didn't quite have the same feel as a demon whether they were lower-classed or high-classed. Despite her knowledge in knowing that he wasn't human, Kagome never bothered to ask him because it wasn't her place to ask such a thing. Not to mention that she felt he would tell her on his own someday, when he felt that it was necessary.

As Shido was about to ask why she was reading such a book, a knock came from the door.

Once Kagome had put her bookmark where she last read, she walked over to the door and opened it to let Yayoi in.

"Shido-san, Yayoi-san's here." Kagome spoke, noticing that the detective was at his desk again with his top hat over his eyes like he was lounging.

"Thank you, Kagome-chan. Could you make us a couple of coffees, please?"

"Sure."

After Kagome walked into the kitchenette to make the coffee, looking over the blends she had bought for the office, Kagome didn't really hear the majority of what was said but as she was about to bring in the coffee on a tray, she heard Yayoi speak in a bit of a flirty voice, "Well, don't get me wrong, I didn't come here to coach you in road safety."

Kagome saw the older woman move to sit on the desk, one leg crossed over the other, leaning toward Shido to wrap her slim arms around his neck after she asked, "You don't think I'd pay you a visit for that, hmm?"

"If it's bedroom coaching you're after, I'll oblige anytime." They way Shido said this in a suggestive way made Kagome almost want to laugh at how ironically he sounded like Miroku… minus him groping every pretty girl in sight and asking them to bare his children.

But Yayoi replied in a flirting yet teasing way, "Thanks for the offer but I'll politely decline."

Not wanting to hear anymore cliché or corny pickup lines before she laughed her ass off, Kagome politely cleared her throat to catch their attention. The older pair looked like they were caught doing something taboo as the miko spoke with Yayoi sitting up straight, "Here are your coffees."

To Shido, Kagome looked like she was angry about something he was doing with Yayoi with how blank her face looked and the unreadable emotion in her eyes.

He nervously let out a laugh as Kagome gently set the two coffees on his desk as she looked toward Yayoi. Crap, it looked like she was giving his partner a deadly leer.

It wasn't that Kagome had anything against Yayoi. She actually liked the older woman and found her to be pretty fun when she wasn't working. She also admired the older woman's beauty and charm combined with her fiery attitude.

The miko also understood that her and Shido's relationship was just one of very close friends who playfully flirt and such but that didn't stop the both of them from messing with Shido in thinking that a cat-fight would breakout in his office.

Yayoi took a sip of her coffee before looking toward Kagome with a smile that Shido mistook for one that meant Yayoi was accepting any challenge that Kagome threw at her when it came to the vampiric detective.

The older woman adored the little miko and grew to see her as a tomboyish little sister of sorts. She even went so far as to teach her how to use a gun so that she could have first hand knowledge about them and how they worked. But like Kagome, Yayoi couldn't help but play along in messing with Shido a bit in thinking two fine and attractive ladies were gonna fight over him.

Feeling uneasy of the atmosphere that was really all in his head, Shido stood from his seat and spoke nervously as he rested a hand on Yayoi's shoulder, "Uh, Come on, Yayoi, let's get to work."

And with that, Kagome walked back to the kitchenette with her head held high. Once she was completely in the kitchenette, she tried her best to muffle her giggles and laughs.

'Shido-san is so easy to mess with… it's hard to resist.' The miko thought as she tried to calm down.

Back in the office area, Shido scratched the side of his head in a confused yet relieved way before Guni popped out of her hiding place in Shido's hair, behind her neck saying, "What a kiss-ass you are, Shido! You're a sorry excuse of a man!"

"Guni!"

Not really bothering in wanting to listen to Guni and Shido's banter and wanting to get back to the case, Yayoi spoke to get Shido's attention as she looked at the report in her hand, "What troubles me about the crash is the driver who caused it." She then handed the report to Shido, "Look at him. Just like a mummy. In fact, none of the bodies had a drop of blood left… none that the forensics could detect anyway."

The picture in the report of the deceased driver really did look like a mummy but looked fresh. All in all, just skin and bones as the body lay in a hospital bed.

"No blood?" Shido asked as Guni spoke, "I see. That's why the NOS got involved."

Yayoi walked away from Shido's desk before turning to him, "There are also reports of monster sightings." After she took a seat in on of the armchairs of the room, she continued, "Even the coroners are spooked by their own vampire theory. You know how that goes."

Shido had already made his way to her and sat next to her while holding one of her hands before speaking, "Sure I do. But I expect you to treat me to a big feast in exchange." He helped her up before resting his hands on her waist while Yayoi rested her hands on his shoulders, before she replied, "It would be my pleasure! So shall we…?"

Kagome saw the whole thing and couldn't help but roll her eyes thinking they play "Lovers" far too much as they looked like they were about to kiss. But then again, you're as young as you feel… even though Kagome could tell that Shido was quite old. Not physically- Hell no! It was more like his soul felt old, more than anything.

The miko then started to think, 'Big feast… it doesn't sound like he implying on human food. And it sure as hell ain't sex since he doesn't see Yayoi that way.'

Her muses were cut short when Yayoi spoke, "So that's the story." And then spoke out to Kagome while she and Shido head out the door, "Kagome-chan, I'm going to borrow Shido-san for the night."

The miko caught the double meaning in that and had to shake her head with a grin before Shido spoke with a smile in his voice, "Well, that's it then. Don't forget to lock up the office before you leave."

"Alright, just be careful." Kagome said as she made her way to get the coffee cups and before shut the door behind him and Yayoi.

While Kagome made a mental note to get supper and cat food on the way home and was cleaning the cups and stacking the papers that Shido had received from Yayoi, outside the said vampire looked back at the windows that belonged to his office.

Guni sighed at the man's behavior and said, "Don't worry, Shido. She's a tough kid, she'll be fine on her way home." The pixie could tell that the vampire took a liking to the teenaged shrine maiden even after he started to do everything he could to make sure she was okay, despite that he did everything he could to keep his distance in order to make sure night breeds wouldn't go after her again.

With that, Shido got into the passenger side of Yayoi's car before his partner drove them off to where the night breed had been sighted.

Later that night, while Shido and Yayoi were driving through a tunnel, hoping to lure the night breed out. After Yayoi made a comment about catching bigger fish, the detective leaned over while grabbing a hold of the wheel and saying suggestively, "Enough investigating. I'm starved. I'd like to get a bite to eat, if you don't mind?" To make a point, he somehow made the back of the driver's seat fall back so that Yayoi was lying down. And the vampire did this while she was STILL driving.

The blue-haired woman gasped, "Watch it! Your reward comes after the case has been solved. That was the deal!"

"Relax, it's all right. I won't hurt you." Shido said before he made Yayoi gasp as he bit into her neck.

As the detective was have his meal and Yayoi was writhing in ecstasy, the pricey red car started to accelerate and was about to almost crash into a truck that seemed to be carrying gas or some type of chemical. Guni came out of her hiding place before looking over the dashboard and gave cry while yelling, "GEH! Shido, watch the road! The road!" She made a move to brace herself for the crash that was about to come but Shido turned the wheel to the right and drove around the truck, not once lifting his head from his meal as Yayoi was lost in the pleasure that came when a vampire drank from it's willing victim.

After giving a sigh of relief, Guni turned toward Shido who was still feed before asking in an almost deadpanned voice, "Where did you learn a stunt like that?"

"It's a fruit of my life experience." Shido answered almost smugly.

As Shido continued to drink from Yayoi's neck, stray thought wandered to the front of his mind, making him absently wonder what Kagome's blood would taste like if he drank from her… and if he did, what would her reaction be…

He could almost see it- even hear it.

Kagome lying on her back, neck exposed to him. Her hair fanned out among the white silk sheets and pillows of her bed. And as he would bite down and drink, she would gasp with what would sound like pleasurable mew as she writhed underneath him. The feel of her fingers brushing through his hair as he pulled her closer to himself…

He thanked the presence of the night breed closing in for interrupting those thoughts. Despite that he often wondered about those thoughts, Shido had no desire to act out those thoughts.

And right now, as Yayoi sat upright, dealing with the night breed that was on their tail was top priority.

XoXoXoXoXoXoXoX

Later that morning, Shido had made it back to the office slightly tired after being exposed to the early morning sun.

Out of the night breed encounter, Yayoi's pricey sports car was totaled and was in need of repairs. The longhaired woman was pissed when the night breed trashed it. She was so pissed that she shot the night breed with two silver-coated bullets to the torso.

After that, it tried to outrun them but Shido easily caught up with it while materializing his blood into a sword after biting his finger. As he and the night breed were at a standoff, the early morning sun rose over the buildings and onto the road they were on. When the night breed started to feel the burning pain of the sun burning its weak skin, Shido tried to get the sunlight out of his eyes as the night breed took the opportunity to take possession of a pigeon that few in to rest it's weary wings and escaped to safety to where it can recover from the wounds it received.

And right now, back at his office, the detective vampire was resting with his top hat covering his eyes.

That was how Kagome had found him when she came by to tell him the news about her being able to skip to her senior year of high school.

It seemed that the teachers noticed how hard she had been working and decided to test her knowledge. After the test was finished, they deducted that she was eligible to start her senior year and graduate early. But they also advised that she could take the week off since the senior class was on a class trip in Tokyo.

After she had closed the door behind her, she started to hear Shido grunt in his sleep. Turning toward him, she made her way to where he sat… his head thrashed to one side, making his top hat fall of his head. Once she was close to the desk, she saw that he started to hold his head with both hands as if he was in pain before he woke up, breathing deeply in a cold sweat… like he had just experienced a nightmare.

A dream of Shido's sire, Cain and his old promises of eternity haunted Shido, making him wake up. After catching his breath a bit, his eyes met the worried expression of Kagome's face who was dressed in a bell-sleeved blouse and mid-thigh skirt- an outfit he remembered her wearing a couple of times when she was going to work.

His silent admiration was cut short when Kagome asked, "Are you okay, Shido-san?"

"Kagome-chan… what about your classes?" Shido really didn't want to talk about his dream (nightmare, really) with Kagome, especially when it revealed his secret about being a vampire.

"The school board lit me have a week off since they deducted, after giving me a test, that I was eligible enough to move onto my senior year. And the senior class is on a class trip in Tokyo and won't be back in a week." Kagome said with a smile.

Shido couldn't help but feel proud of Kagome after she told him the news. He guessed that she would be spending the week working full time at her job so she could earn a little extra money for when her brother came over to visit again.

"That's great, Kagome-chan. I really am proud of you." Shido told her with a smile.

"I still have time before I start work at the club in setting up for a huge customer tonight, so I can make you some morning tea and then go. It won't take long." Kagome then made her way quickly to the kitchenette, asking while getting a mug and a teabag, "Are you sure that you're okay, Shido-san? You're looking a bit more pale than usual."

Shido smiled ruefully, knowing that Kagome was really observant, and answered, "Do I? I guess I pushed myself bit too far."

Kagome paused in what she was doing before peeking out of the doorway, staring at Shido with a raised brow, "Pushed your self too far, how?"

A chuckle sounded from the vampire before he explained while scratching his cheek almost sheepishly, "Not in that way. I meant I may be working a bit too hard with the cases that have been coming in lately."

"I see…" Kagome said with a bit of a chuckle before going back into the kitchenette. As she put the hot water on, she asked, "Um… you took an all-nighter for work yesterday, didn't you?"

In the corner of her eye, she noticed a very weak little demon staring at her looked like he was about to attack. It looked like a little troll with bat-wings- an evil little thing (Think of Guni but male and uglier) with an aura that matched its appearance. She wondered if Shido knew about his new little officemate but thought otherwise when she sensed that it was cloaking its presence. It came at her but she knock it aside with a flick of her wrist. The little bugger had somehow cut her before she purified it.

She inwardly hissed from the stinging pain and never noticed a couple drops of her blood land in the tea she was making as she heard Shido answer her question, "Yeah, it was an awful night. I lit the suspect in the highway attacks get away, got into an accident, and the cops lit me have it."

Shido, for some reason, always liked to talk about his work to Kagome. It seemed like she was always willing to lend an ear and listen to his problems, whether they were personal or have to do with his line of work in being a private detective.

After healing the wound she got from that little troll demon, Kagome's soft laugh sounded as she came out of the kitchenette with his tea saying, "Yikes! That had to be a pain."

"It was, a little." Shido laughed as Kagome set his tea on the desk as she said, "I made this tea blend myself. It should make you feel relaxed and wake you right up from anything you may be feeling. I hope that it makes you feel better." She then looked at her watch before cursing slightly, "Crap, I gotta get going before my boss grips at me even though I never told him that I'd start working full time for this week. Good luck with work, Shido-san." And with that, she left with a quick pace, shutting the office door behind her and running down the hall so she can at least catch a cab to work.

Shido looked at the steaming cup of tea before saying mostly to himself, "'Feel better'… huh?"

His gaze turned almost sad and disappointed. Sometimes he wished that he could be human again just so he could at least have a taste of Kagome's tea, since Yayoi always said that it was delicious. With a sigh, he picked up his top hat so he could set it over the cup but stopped when he saw a tiny drop of blood on the lip of the cup. Setting the hat aside, he picked the cup up and took a whiff of the china's contents. His eyes widened when he smelled the scent of blood within the tea and couldn't stop him self from tasting it.

The blood, to him as a vampire, made the tea taste sweet, much like virgin blood mixed with mildly sweet herbs.

'Is Kagome-chan catching on to my secret?' he wondered as he toward the door Kagome just left through.

A little more than 4 pages! AND ALL IN ONE DAY!

Hope that everybody enjoyed that. It went over about half of the first episode of the NightWalker series. Part 2 of this will be up next when I get around to updating it. But right now, I'll be updating "Cross Dress For Love" next like I had promised DeathNoteMaker, since she updated her own NightWalker/IY Xover and another favorite Xover Story of mine.

Please review it would really be appreciated. Without those, then no updates. Suggestions and ideas are welcome. And flamers with their flames can take a hike because I don't want to hear your crap about how "horrible" the story was to you.
