Many parts of this story refer to the idea of a future generation. Some of the characters will even be reincarnated. I have a story for one-shots that takes place after what will be the conclusion of this story called "Immortal Moon: Rise of the Eternal Heirs." The first one-shot is up and has no real spoilers for this story. I would love to hear if you enjoy that idea.

Mamoru gripped Usagi even tighter as he sank his teeth into the delicate skin on her neck. A moan slipped from him as he drank and tasted her blood. Nothing before or after his transition had ever tasted as good to him as she did.

Usagi arched her neck, giving him even better access, and ran the fingers of her right hand through his hair, messing it up. She loved the feeling of her blood flowing out of her as Mamoru drank, each drop of blood linking them closer together.

Once he had drained quite a lot of blood from her, he licked her neck and whispered, "Your mind is racing with crazy ideas to go after Beryl."

"I won't deny it. You saw it all in my blood," she admitted easily.

He then added, "I also saw how possessive you are of me. It's intoxicating."

"I am, and with Rei's help, I won't only kill her, but we'll destroy any chance of her being reborn. You were reincarnated for me —for this." She turned to him and shifted, straddling him. Grinding her core against his hard cock she added, "You're mine."

"I am," he agreed as he grabbed her hips and pressed her against his erection again. "Show me more. I was hoping you could show me a fight you had against Vampires. I want to learn from your past so I can fight now."

She pulled down the right shoulder of her blouse and her bra, exposing her breast. "Drink." Mamoru bit her breast and drank her blood as he let the memories of her past slip into his mind.

A bright yellow light flashed in his vision, and everything was bathed in white. He looked around as his vision cleared and saw eight Vampires surrounding him—well, Usagi. It was her memory, after all.

The fight was brutal and very one-sided. The other Vampires hadn't stood a chance against Usagi, and Mamoru experienced firsthand how bloody and quickly the battle went.

Before any of her opponents even had the opportunity to move, Usagi ripped out the throats of two of them. She then grabbed a stake out of her boot and plunged it through the heart of another.

Mamoru thought about how slowly the vampires were moving and couldn't understand what was causing it when the blowing wind through the trees caught his eye. He witnessed how slowly the branches were swaying. Quickly, he realized that Usagi was moving incredibly fast compared to the world around her.

She then dropped down low, and he watched as her hand plunged a stake through the hearts of the vampires that had their throats ripped out.

Only then did it seem like the remaining five vampires had even started to move. Two turned tail and began running for the surrounding tree line, desperate to escape.

Usagi then threw the stake still in her hand, and it plunged through the heart of a vampire that had moved to attack her. She next grabbed the head of the closest of the two remaining vampires, twisted its head off, and threw it at the lone vampire still coming toward her.

The Vampire reacted on instinct and flinched, not wanting to be struck by the bloody head, and that flinch was enough to leave him wide open. Usagi then plunged her hand into his chest and ripped his heart out. Coldly, she dropped it on his torso once he collapsed.

The two fleeing vampires never made it to the woods. Usagi pulled two stakes from her waistband and double-fisted them as she caught up to them and struck them both at the same time from behind, hitting their hearts and killing them instantly.

Mamoru released her breast, looked into her eyes, and gently scolded her, "I didn't ask to see an easy fight."

She chuckled and said, "They were very powerful Vampires that loved drinking the blood of children, killing them, and then leaving them for their parents to find. They weren't weak. I'm just that strong."

"That's horrible, what they did. It's…. Disturbing."

"The village hired me. The elders worked to get me there, and they all pooled their life savings. I killed those eight and then disappeared in the night. I wouldn't take their money. Not from broken, hurting people. I did leave the bodies of the vampires lying out to rot. I figured they could destroy them any way they saw fit."

"You just left?"

"After I drank blood from all of them. The vampire whose head I ripped off was the only one that had an interesting power. It's how all of my bites heal on their own."

Mamoru tightened his grip on her hip and asked, "Is there a fight I can see that was harder?"

She shook her head. "I can't think of one. Even the fight against Diamond went quickly once I knew how to kill him. I'm powerful —we're powerful, Mamoru. We share our powers, and I haven't seen a fair fight since I'd been a vampire for sixty years, and back then, my memory was too hazy to show you anything accurately."

"No one can defeat you?" he asked, startled.

"Bite me again," she pressed. "I want to show you something."

Mamoru bit her, and he slipped into a past memory of her walking into a room of vampires. There were so many he couldn't count them all. What he could see was that they all looked terrified.

He heard Usagi's voice say, "This is simple. Hand her to me, and I will leave without getting angry."

Mamoru noticed all of the vampires turned and looked at a vampire dressed all in a garish green suit. The man stood from his high-back chair and said, "We haven't been introduced. Where are your manners?"

It was evident to Mamoru that everyone else in the room was incredibly uncomfortable and terrified after the man's glib response.

"Marcus," Usagi replied calmly. "I showed you respect by not introducing myself. Only a fool wouldn't know who I am."

The man in the green suit shrugged exaggeratedly and said, "It still shows a lack of manners. Also, if you're so smart, you should know I can't just hand over one of my followers to you."

Usagi's light laugh bubbled up, and she said, "Then which of you can hand her over?"

Marcus took one threatening step forward, and then, shocking Mamoru, a hand burst out of the front of the vampire's chest, holding his heart.

Mamoru took a few seconds to process what he had just seen fully. A vampire standing behind Marcus had just killed him by ripping his heart out.

In his shock, his next thought was how the man looked like Christmas in his green suit, now covered in red blood. After mentally shaking himself, he observed the vampire, who had been behind Marcus, drop the heart and step over the collapsed body.

"I'm Vincent," the man said, bowing to her. "It is an honor to meet you, Usagi."

"You may rise," Usagi stated confidently.

As Vincent stood, he glanced at the vampires next to him and said, "Get her! Now!" Five of them quickly complied.

Not giving her feelings away, Usagi said, "You killed your leader."

"He was dead the moment he opposed you. I might have saved the other thirty-six vampires in this room by killing him for you," Vincent replied. "Does the offer still stand? If we deliver her to you, do we get to live?"

Mamoru watched as he experienced Usagi move and bend down and then drink Marcus' blood. Once she stood, she said, "I'm a woman of my word. Give her to me, and I'll let you all live."

Mamoru watched as Vincent visibly shook. It was apparent to him that the new vampire leader was terrified of Usagi.

While they waited, the room was dead silent, and a feeling of fear pervaded the atmosphere. No one dared say anything.

Usagi moved forward, and Mamoru was startled when everyone flinched. She then said, "I am just going to sit as I wait for her to be delivered to me."

"O-of c-course," Vincent said, his voice unsteady.

After what felt like a tense minute of everyone standing still and watching Usagi like she was a gun that could go off at any moment, someone bowed. The woman then said, "While you wait, can I get anything for you, Usagi?"

"The necklace," Usagi replied quickly. "That is if you know where it is."

The woman stood, visibly shaking, and stammered, "I-I d-don't k-know…."

"Does anyone?" Usagi asked, offering up the question to the whole room.

"I think she's wearing it," a vampire off to the right answered.

Usagi sighed, stood up, and turned towards the back door to the room. "I hear them coming."

Thirty seconds later, the door opened, and five vampires walked in carrying a woman wrapped in a thick chain from head to toe, binding her body and keeping her from moving.

They dropped the woman in front of Usagi and stepped back quickly. Then Usagi bent down and reached for the woman's neck as she looked for the necklace.

The woman started screaming and cursing, yelling out that she was going to kill everyone and that the necklace belonged to her.

Usagi squatted, grabbed the woman by the hair, locked eyes with her, and said, "Shut up," compelling her silence.

A gasp went up from many vampires in the room, and Mamoru remembered that Usagi's ability to compel vampires would have been unheard of to them.

Locating the necklace, Usagi gently removed it from the woman and held it up. Mamoru was shocked by how large the yellow main stone of the pendant was.

"Eighteen point two carats," Usagi said, still holding it up for everyone to see. "It's a Canary Diamond."

"She's a jewel thief?" a vampire asked, surprised.

"A jewel thief and a murderer," Usagi replied. She then stood and said, "The security guard was only trying to do his job."

After pocketing the necklace, she said, "She doesn't get to live. Do you have any objections?"

"No!" Vincent said quickly. "Do you want me to handle it for you?"

"Be my guest," Usagi replied, motioning with her hand toward the bound vampire.

Vincent pulled a stake from underneath the chair that Marcus had been sitting on and then plunged it through the woman's heart. Leaving the stake there, he stood and bowed to Usagi.

Mamoru pulled back from drinking Usagi's blood and looked at her, confused. "There had been thirty-seven vampires in that room when you walked in. How were they all terrified of you?"

"They had all heard of me and how powerful I am. They weren't mistaken —I could have killed them all." She then reached up and cupped Mamoru's cheek. "We're that powerful, Mamo-chan."

"Then how is Beryl a threat?" he asked.

Usagi shrugged, "She's an unknown. I don't know how strong she is or what she can do. She could be extremely powerful or someone I could wipe out instantly. Experience tells me that she won't be that easy, though."

Motoki let out a low whistle, "She had them kill that woman for her? That's cold."

Mamoru turned in shock and looked at Motoki quickly, only to notice his friend looked impressed, not horrified. He then listened as Motoki said, "That vampire had killed that guy and stole the necklace, though."

"She killed eight people," Mamoru corrected. "The security guard was completely innocent, though. He didn't know the guy he worked for had stolen the diamond first. Usagi returned it to the original owner. A Grevinde in Denmark."

"Greiv… what was it again?" Motoki asked.

"Their equivalent of a British Countess," Mamoru explained. "It was given to her as a wedding present from her new husband."

Motoki then asked, "When did this all happen?"

"Sixty-some years ago," Mamoru said. "They tried to reward her by attempting to give her the man's younger brother as a husband. Instead, Usagi exposed the brother's role in the theft of the diamond and left."

Motoki shook his head in amusement. "It all keeps getting weirder. She's powerful, though."

Mamoru nodded as he thought about how long she had worked to obtain her various powers, which he had received instantly after waking up as a vampire. "She keeps trying to explain that I'm just as powerful. It's hard to process when I didn't do anything to earn it."

"Other than being the one man on the planet, after centuries of her being alive, that she could fall in love with," Motoki said encouragingly. "Also, you can use the power you got from her to help make her life better."

About to reply, Mamoru paused and turned and looked at his friend. "I feel that. Do you?"

"I don't know what you feel, but I can sense someone nearby that wants to…" Motoki cocked his head in thought as he worked out how to put the feelings he was sensing. "Humbled. That's what it feels like. Like he wants to bow to you."

Mamoru turned around and searched with his eyes to see who was looking over at them. He felt like it was an unknown vampire. He had experienced that feeling in the past occurrences that Usagi had shown him. "It's a vampire."

"And you're King," Motoki replied. "The bowing makes more sense now."

After visually locating the vampire, Mamoru turned to Motoki. "What do I do?"

Motoki said, "Let me talk to him first. I don't want anyone approaching you or Usagi without going through someone else. I want to make it clear that you're King."

"Is that necessary? I have more power than you. I'd be safer around a new vampire."

"I don't get the feeling that he will cause any trouble. Let me do this. Please."

"And if you're wrong?" Mamoru said, concerned for his friend.

"Then I would make a terrible advisor to you, and you should discover that now. I will stake my credibility on this one," Motoki said. "My empath ability makes me sure."

Mamoru nodded, hoping Matoki was right about everything. "Go. I'll head to class. I can review my previous notes before the lecture."

"Thank you for trusting me," Motoki responded.

"You've been my best friend for a long time. You earned my trust a long time ago."

"You stick out," Motoki commented, walking over to the man watching them.

"I'm a Dutchman in Japan. Of course, I stick out."

Shaking his head, Motoki said, "No. I was referring to the fact that you're a vampire."

The man looked at him suspiciously and asked, "How could you possibly have known that from that distance?!"

Motoki was glad the man wasn't playing dumb. It actually helped make him more confident in the idea that he was right about the vampire. "Call it a gift that I have. I'm right, and that's the only reason I'm here talking to you. Tell me, why do you want to approach our King?"

"That is him?" The man replied. "I thought he was. It felt like he was king. The power he has feels impressive even at a distance." The man looked at Motoki earnestly and said, "I know a witch. She's really powerful, and she told me things were changing."

"Like?" Motoki asked. He wanted to know what information this guy had.

"That there is a witch out there that makes my friend look like she can only do parlor tricks and…." The man looked around nervously and whispered, "And that Usagi found her Bonded Love. Thee vampire that will be king."

It was evident to Motoki that there was a lot that this guy didn't know. That didn't surprise him since he discovered his information from a witch who didn't have Rei's powers. "Why should I let you meet him?"

The man didn't object to how Motoki reacted. He had been able to tell that the king and this man were close. He didn't doubt this man's power to restrict his access. "I'm asking for an audience with my king. How are his subjects supposed to know what he wants if they haven't been told?"

"It's been two and a half hours, and you already have a place for us to meet people?" Mamoru asked in shock.

"I had it ready in thirty-five minutes. You delayed this because you were in class," Usagi replied with humor in her voice. "And it's not a place to 'meet people.' It's a place to hold court."

Motoki's laugh drew Mamoru's attention, and Mamoru asked him, "Did you help arrange this?"

"I did. He was right, and I wanted to make sure the place we had was impressive. I was shocked with how fast Usagi found the place."

Usagi pouted and said, "Fine! I'll admit the truth. This place has been a side project of mine for two weeks. It's partly why I have been showing you how powerful we are. Mamoru. I figured if I used it, you would have to believe I wasn't being put in danger."

There was a knock on the door, and Naru and Sapphire walked in. "I have the directions for the ritual," Naru supplied instantly.

Sapphire automatically said, "We're studying it tonight and performing it tomorrow."

Naru laughed. "Yeah. He almost had me perform it right away."

"He's that nervous?" Motoki asked and then shook his head. "I'm not getting nervous vibes off of him. He's…"

"Horny," Naru said, finishing what Motoki was too embarrassed to say. "The ritual uses blood, oils, chants, and erotic sex acts to complete it."

"Oooh!" Usagi said excitedly. "Tell me it's written down!"

"It wouldn't work for you," Sapphire replied. "It has to do with being a follower of Bastet."

Usagi rolled her eyes at Sapphire's earnest response. "I'm not interested in the ritual. I'm always up for learning new erotic sex acts. Right, Mamoru?" The man was glad he couldn't blush anymore because he would have been beet red.

"I translated it into Japanese in google docs for Sapphire. I'll send you a copy," Naru supplied helpfully.

"Into Japanese?" Mamoru asked.

"Yeah," Naru replied. "I can read Hieroglyphics now. Bastet helped me with that."

"You're the best!" Usagi said gratefully. "Now, I hoped you wouldn't mind becoming a lioness for this next part. We're meeting a vampire, and I want to make an impression."

In response, Naru shifted quickly into a lioness; all of her practice had paid off. She then padded across the room and lay beside the throne on the right.

Sapphire chuckled, "She didn't even ask who the ruler among the two of you was."

Mamoru shrugged good-naturedly, "Everyone knows Usagi is Queen, and I'm her King. I'm good with being under her." He then shifted uncomfortably when he realized what he had said.

Mamoru then quietly walked over, sat on the throne to the left, and gestured to Usagi's throne. "Ready to meet the new vampire?" He wanted to move on quickly from what he had said.

"What's his name?" Sapphire asked, going and sitting in a chair to the side.

"Dirk Van Blair, he's Dutch," Motoki answered him. "He's also about a hundred and fifty years old."

"How powerful is he?" Sapphire asked uneasily. He didn't like the fact that the new vampire was older than him.

Motoki replied, "Not very. He claims he's survived this long by using his brain. He says his strength is in diplomacy."

Usagi sat on her throne and then looked at the group. "That means that he's one of two kinds of vampire. Either he wants to prove to everyone that he's the smartest in the room and will try to outsmart us, or he's just looking to coexist with everyone and not ruffle any feathers."

Mamoru spoke up and said, "Motoki says we can trust him." After shifting uncomfortably briefly, he added, "I believe him."

"You don't, and this makes what you're saying mean even more to me," Motoki interjected. "You want to trust my feelings on this, and for you to try to trust something like a feeling is huge. Thank you."

A cell phone sounded, and Usagi fished it out of her pocket and looked at the text. "Apparently, Artemis isn't going to let Luna show up. She texted me, though. Dirk flew into Japan last night; tomorrow, he has a return flight to Amsterdam. He purchased the return ticket an hour ago."

"Why leave so quickly?" Sapphire asked.

Usagi answered, "If his goal is only to meet his king, that will have happened, and he can leave. It makes it seem like he's telling the truth. Motoki, you said he wasn't interested in hanging around."

"True," Motoki answered. "I feel that he wants to gather information and take it back to people he knows."

Just then, the place's front door opened, and Rei and Jadeite walked in. "I heard this vampire knows a 'powerful' witch," Rei said without any preamble. "I insist on being here in case he tries anything."

Amused, Usagi said, "We have vampires, a lioness, a witch, and hybrids. We should get Bastet and Mars here, and we can impress him even further!"

Rei made a disgusted face and pointed at Naru in her lioness form. "She made sure that won't happen."

"I don't understand," Usagi said with a questioning look.

Jadeite filled her in and said, "It's all Naru's doing. She convinced Mars to take Beryl on a sex adventure for at least four days. He surfaced once, asking Rei to perform a spell on some chains to strengthen them so they can't be broken by Bastet so easily."

"Is she willing?" Usagi asked, concerned.

Sapphire chuckled and said, "She's willing. It concerns her kinks and not her trying to get away. You should have seen how thrilled she was to go off with him."

"Okay," Usagi said, regrouping. "Moving on. When do the rest get here?"

Rei smirked, "We wondered about that." She then sent a text, and thirty seconds later, Nephrite, Makoto, Zoisite, Ami, Kunzite, and Minako arrived together.

A humble Makoto asked, "Is it okay if I'm here?"

"Of course it is," Usagi replied quickly. "You aren't going off on your own. Neither am I. I want you all here."

Dirk arrived ten minutes later, right on time, and came in and bowed before Mamoru and Usagi.

Mamoru felt it was very anticlimactic when it was all said and done. Motoki was right, and Dirk was genuinely interested in meeting the King and Queen, then going home and reporting to those he knew in the supernatural community.

Their hope was that this would start growing bonds between the vampire community and their new King and Queen.

Dirk wished his witch friend had not infused him with the ability to sense power. This had all truly been a fact-finding mission for him, and now what he felt left him trembling.

When he immediately bowed low before the King and Queen, it wasn't just out of respect —it was out of necessity. The immense power he felt coming from all of them shocked him, but the power that he discovered later was the witch, and the King and Queen had almost knocked him down completely.

When he raised his head, he was introduced to everyone, and he reflected on how his witch friend, the most powerful witch he had known, had nothing in comparison to the woman who was introduced as Rei.

Then, to his confusion, he noticed the lioness that they simply introduced as Naru. He didn't understand why the lioness had a human name or why she seemed to understand what was said throughout the proceedings.

Once everyone was introduced, he explained the spell cast on him and how he could read power. He didn't want to hide anything, as he suspected they would know anything he did in subterfuge.

Dirk watched Queen Usagi smile at him, in what looked to him like approval, and say, "And what do you notice?"

"Frankly, I'm struggling to notice anything more than the immense power in this room." He then turned just his head to look at Rei and said, "I thought I knew magical power before. It's like having been impressed by seeing a puddle and then being shown the ocean."

"You know our power now," Rei responded, flattered. "I can amend the spell to keep it from overwhelming you."

"I would normally hesitate to ask, but it is difficult to function right now." He then bowed to her and added, "What do you need from me?"

"Permission was enough," she replied. "And that is more of a preference than an absolute need." Rei then waved her hand, and he felt the sensation dull until it felt like a comfortable buzzing.

"Thank you," he said with deep gratitude.

Then, after closing his eyes and taking a few seconds to center himself, he opened his eyes and bowed again. "Queen Usagi and King Mamoru. I apologize if I started off wrong. I couldn't fully follow what was happening."

He then turned and bowed to Rei, "I don't know how to address you. I am sorry. Thank you for helping me. I am floored by how powerful you are. You didn't need anything to perform that spell, either. I've never seen that before."

"Rei is quite alright. While titles are necessary for Usagi and Mamoru, they don't get their power from them. I don't want a title."

Dirk nodded and replied, "I just feel disrespectful if I call you by your name."

Jadeite could understand where the man was coming from. To help him out and make him feel more comfortable, he said, "Rei, daughter of Mars, is her title."

"Mars?" the man asked, confused.

"That Mars," Jadeite replied.

"Oh…" Dirk said, feeling overwhelmed again. "Rei, daughter of Mars, thank you for helping me with your spell."

"You're welcome," she replied, embarrassed by the attention.

Dirk's eyes next shifted to Jadeite, and he grew confused. He then looked at Kunzite, Nephrite, Zoisite, and King Mamoru.

Usagi understood what was happening and said, "You sense something unusual about them."

"I do," he said, bowing slightly. "I don't understand."

She said, "In this room are the only five hybrid Vampire-Werewolves in the world. Rei is that strong."

Dirk hit his knees, bowing low, almost throwing himself prostrate on the ground. Usagi gently asked, "Why do you bow again?"

"I don't know what else to do," he said honestly. "I came to ask how I may serve you, but that seems so arrogant now." Bowing that low, the lioness was directly in his view, and he was almost sure she smirked at him. He then heard King Mamoru say, "We need help bringing down the Order of Van Helsing worldwide. Can you spread the word to all your contacts?"

"With pleasure, my king," he responded quickly and honestly.

"Good," Mamoru replied. Then, pulling out his cell phone, he said, "What's your cell phone number?"

Dirk just looked on for a moment in shock.
