A Fake Vampire, part 1

"Then you are hypocrites." Shouyo stated coldly, "You are not any different from Hao then, you said you will punish Hao for his crime of murder but you are a murderer yourself." A rare scowl formed on her face, "What give you the right to judge people then?".

The man's face twisted like an angry animal, "How dare you insult us?!" he snarled.

"I'm not insult you, I'm saying the truth." Shouyo hissed, she really dislike to have to talked with arrogant people.

"Shouyo, don't bait them, they are dangerous." Anna whispered so that she is the only one who can hear her.

"I can't help it, it's really annoyed me if I have to confront arrogant people like them." Shouyo hissed, she narrowed her eyes when the guy trembled in anger.

"Marco, let's get back for now, we have to search for Hao's opinion here." a woman talked to the man.

Marco growled, "Fine." he said through clenched teeth, "We will go now, but the next time we meet again, we will kill you all." he then looked at Lyserg, "Lyserg, you know better than them that Hao is dangerous and evil, he killed your parents, so if you come back to us, your sin will be forgiven by God".

"No." Lyserg said firmly, "I'm with these people, I won't join you." he looked sad, "I chose different path than you".

Marco narrowed his eyes and left silently, the rest of X-Laws following him. Anna sighed, "Shouyo, you really shouldn't bait them like that." she said in concerned tone, "You lost your Shamanic ability, if they attack us, I'm not sure that even I or Lyserg can protect you, not to mention that Keiko-sama and Luna are not that good in fighting".

"That's right, Yo-kun." Lyserg agreed, "I may have Zeruel, one of X-Laws Angel from the time I joined them before, but Zeruel alone can't win against that many Angels." he looked at her in worry.

Shouyo sighed, "Okay, I will watch my mouth next time." she then looked up to one of the roof, "Rose, Roy, it's okay, you can come out".

Two figures jumped down the roof, "We are really sorry, Shouyo-sama, but Leader told us to guard you." Rose said with an apologetic smile, "We also have information for you".

"You don't have to guard me, I can protect myself, I will talk to mother later." Shouyo sighed, then she walked closer to them, "I have a bit of job though, I want you to search every information you can get about X-Laws and Asakura Hao." Then she whispered, "What is this information you want to tell me about?".

"We received some news that there's a Vampire lurking around in this town, this is not our territory, so we are worried in case he is rogue." Roy whispered his answer.

Shouyo nodded, "Okay, I will be careful, don't follow me, I will inform you if I need help, but it would be troublesome if my friends find out I'm a Half Vampire, they might freaked out." she said softly, "If you find the information I want, just give me a call, I will go get it." she said using normal volume, purposefully letting the others to hear her.

"Yes, Shouyo-sama." Rose and Roy bowed to her, "We will go now if you excuse us".

"Yeah, take care." Shouyo waved at them as they jumped back to the roof and disappeared.

"Who are they?" Keiko asked curiously, "They talked to you with respect and called you with a -sama".

Shouyo sweat-dropped, "Um, my adopted mother is a Leader of a group, they are mother's underlings, so they also respect me." she explained without lying, but not telling the whole truth either, she is bad at lying after all, so it's better to tell the truth but keep the secret.

"Woah, a woman become a Leader of gangster!" Ryu's hair turned into the shape of heart, "I would like to meet her".

"You can't." Shouyo said sternly, "She is busy." she shook her head, "Well, we better be careful in this town, those X-Laws said that there's Hao's underling here".

They nodded and walked again, the sun already setting, painting the town with the beautiful face of night. They walked around the town until Shouyo said that she want to take a walk by herself for a bit, with a bit of convincing, they agreed to let her go while they search if one of the townsfolk know about Patch Village.

"Ah, there's a movie theater, why don't we watch for a bit to wait for Yo-chan?" Ryu suggested with a hopeful face.

Horo Horo grinned, "That's a good idea!" he agreed.

"What movie they are playing?" Lyserg asked cheerfully.

Ryu walked to the theater to looked at the poster, "It's about Vampire." he told them.

Luna chuckled, "I would like to watch it." she agreed.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Anna said and walk in, "Manta, you pay".

Manta sweat-dropped, "Yes." he said in defeat.

Where in the world this Vampire Rose and Roy talking about? Shouyo thought as she walked around the town, she didn't see any Vampire in the town, not any Shaman beside her group and X-Laws.

"Miss." A man's voice stopped her on her track. Shouyo turned to find a man wearing black robe of a Priest standing in front of a church, "Are you here for a walk?".

Shouyo smiled, "Yes, I came here with my friends." she said cheerfully.

"I see." The priest rummage something from his pocket, "Then please have this, and when you meet up with your friends, please leave this town quick, there a Vampire lurking around here at night." he handed her a simply wooden Cross, "This will help you".

Shouyo blinked as she looked at the well crafted Cross, it's beautiful, but as a Half Vampire, she know very well that stuff like Cross and white garlic are useless against Vampire. It's only a myth, and silver bullet can only work if it's shot at the vital spot. It's useless, but the Cross is beautiful, "Thank you Priest." she said cheerfully and wear the Cross around her neck, outside the upper clothes, she has a bear-claw necklace inside, "It's beautiful, did you make this yourself?".

The Priest smiled, "Yes, now, please hurry, this town is dangerous".

"Okay." Shouyo grinned and walked back to the place she separated from the others

"The movie is good, what was the title again?" Luna asked as they all emerged from the movie theater, Ryu said that he want to go to the bathroom, so they decided to wait outside since it's too crowded inside.

"It's Twilight, it's actually from a novel written by Stephenie Meyer." Lyserg answered cheerfully, his face full of happiness, "It's the first time I went into a movie theatre, after Mom and Dad died, I never thought of having fun and focused to search for Hao". (I love Twilight Saga)

"I heard a rumor from the townsfolk before that there's a Vampire in this town, I wonder if it's true." Horo Horo commented, then a scream rang from the now empty theater, "What is it?!".

"It's like Ryu-san's voice." Lyserg ran back into the theater, "Ryu-san!" he gasped when he saw the older man was lying on the floor and looking sick.

"Ryu!" Horo Horo run to his side but then Ryu stood up, his eyes red and he attacked Horo Horo, "What's wrong with you?!" he yelled as he evaded the attack.

"Horo Horo! He looks like he is controlled by someone, you have to stop his movement!" Luna yelled her suggestion.

"Oversoul, Kororo in Snowboard!" Horo Horo make his Oversoul and freeze Ryu, "Man, I hope we can find out why he is like this".

"Huh, what's wrong with Ryu?" They all turned when Shouyo's voice joined them.

"Shouyo, Thanks God you are alright." Keiko said in relief, "We don't know what happened, we heard Ryu screamed and all of the sudden he attacked Horo Horo." She hug her son in disguise tightly, scared if something happen to him, or her.

"Is something looked strange when he attacked you?" Shouyo asked in calm tone and a smile on her face, but her words sound serious.

They looked thoughtful for a moment, then Lyserg's eyes widened, "His skin is grey and his eyes glowing red, there are also two small holes on his neck!" he exclaimed.

"The rumor!" Horo Horo yelled in realization, "There's a rumor that a Vampire lurking in this town, Ryu must be get bitten by the Vampire and turned into Vampire himself!" his face looked serious and pale.

Anna noticed the serious look on Shouyo's face before it turned calm and carefree like usual, "Well, I met this Priest that told me to tell you to get out of the town as soon as possible because there's a Vampire lurking in town at night. But since Ryu get like this, why don't we go meet him and asked about this Vampire?" Shouyo suggest in carefree way.

Luna looked at Shouyo with an odd expression for a second before nodded, "I guess it's for the best, maybe he would know how to turned Ryu back to normal." She said calmly.
