The real story begins now! ;D enjoy

"Nee-sama are you feeling well?" A young boy with short, brown hair, asked a young woman with an unusually pink hair-color. A strange sight indeed. "I am, my dear brother Nobukatsu. I was just looking at the wondrous moon this evening. It give me time to relax from all the stress." Yes stress was natural for the Oda family. They have hunted vampires for hundreds of years, in search of a way to get rid of such dark beasts. Ichihime was not a woman who truly believed vampires were beasts. She thought deep in her heart that some can be good. She was a pacifist, she hoped for a world where they can live along-side humans.

Her older brother Nobunaga had always firmly believed that all vampires were damned. Thus he refuses to let his dear sister believe in such ideology. "Ichihime-nee-san get some sleep too okay?" The younger boy tells his sister. He was always too frail to become a hunter so he preferred to support on the sidelines. Although he too is a pacifist.

"Do not worry I will go to bed right away. Goodnight Nobukatsu." After responding with a goodnight, the little brunette fell asleep. Ichihime pulled out a journal she had hidden under her pillow and a quill pen she had hidden under the nightstand. She opened it to the last page she wrote on."Does the bite really hurt as they say? Or is it a sensation that cannot be described.." She picked up the pen to continue writing. " I would have to see for myself what it must be like. My only fear is the appearance of the vampire. Will he be terrifying as they say? I wonder." With that she puts the journal away and goes to sleep.

The next morning she awoke to the sound of the front door opening. "Good morning Nobu how is everything?" Ichihime blushed at the voice she heard. It was Mitsuhide Akechi; A childhood friend of hers that she really took interest on. The pink haired girl has been wanting to confess to him lately but always failed to do so. Maybe today was the day he would listen to her.

"Everything is great Mitsu, I hunted down five of then last night. I can't say I'm too impressed though, as it's nothing compared to the other night." Nobunaga claimed at first that he wanted to save vampires from their damnation and that's why he killed them. But his cocky attitude about hunting makes ichi think otherwise.

As the four ate breakfast, Nobunaga made a request for Ichi to send a letter to his good friend Hideyoshi. She had to go to the post office right after breakfast, but she couldn't go alone. No, not with the report on women around her age missing. She was going with Nobukatsu.

"Nee-chan do you think a vampire is behind this? You know the fact that there are women missing" the brunette asked his older sister, curious to what she had to say. " I can't say for sure however, if it is a vampire.. Why are they all women? The victims I mean."

"Maybe it's disguised as a beautiful man as they say" the boy said sheepishly but not meaning to offend anyone. "Nobukatsu you shouldn't say those things. If you want to stay a pacifist you need to think like one" Ichihime was trying to discipline her brother. She's had enough of Nobunaga putting things in the poor child's head.

Not realizing it, the pink haired girl had bumped into someone. She was always clumsy so it was not something new. "Pardon me I didn't mean to-" she was cut off "Do not worry my lady". She looked up to see a beautiful man. His hair was white as cotton, skin a pale color, an eye that was as blue as the summer, cloudless sky, and a mysterious mask that covered part of his face. She couldn't help but notice the warm sensation developing in her cheeks, she was blushing. "E-excuse me but I have to go deliver a letter. Let's go Nobukatsu" she smiled lightly at the man as she ran off with her brother.

The man licked his lips slowly and a red tint enveloped his eye. He slowly placed a hand on his throat. He thought to himself "what is this feeling..such a thirst just by glancing at her..." After calming himself, the man kept walking and disappeared amongst the crowd.

"Ano are you okay? You've been stalling the line for a few minutes, is there anything else you want to send, maybe to a boy?" The mail girl nudged her, she was best friends with Ichihime. "Chacha you won't believe it but I saw the most beautiful man today." The scarlet eyed girl was in a daze, she was amazed by how marvelous the man had been. She explained his looks to her best friend. "So it seems you've fallen for the Count. His name is Gaius Julius Caesar I hear. It is said he lives in a cathedral out in the forest."

Ichihime blushes "h-heh? His name is Caesar? And he lives in the forest?" "Shhh keep it down, the others will hear you. I heard you shouldn't go looking for the cathedral or you won't make it back. Somehow he manages to survive in such a place. There's rumors that a vampire is also living there. So I fear for him" Chacha was very nervous as she spoke.

"A vampire huh..it sounds like it would be an adventure..but Nii-sama wouldn't let me because, well you know how he is." Ichihime was a bit disappointed. "Don't worry I'm sure you can see him walk by again tomorrow. Maybe then you can make a move and talk to him. A lot of girls are too shy but I'm sure you can do it" Chacha told her with a smile. After being re-assured, Ichihime walked home with Nobukatsu.
