Nee! Curious title, no? I shall continue~! Recap time! xp Gomen for any interruption I made. Sadly, that's just how I am... Now prepare for a lengthy story that does not know what "summarizing" means. >_>
Damn. I screwed up big time. Why did I say I wanted to go with them? Ah well. I guess I should be polite and continue to walk with these biju. I almost heaved a big sigh, but this time I was able to control myself...
We had been walking for some time now, when we crossed a dark alleyway. A scent of chakra that was from yet another biju hung heavily in the air. Mangled bodies holding guns were strewn throughout the alley. Blood caked the walls and pooled on the ground. I refrained myself from running over and lapping up the delicious red liquid. Kokoro then bent over and picked up one of the guns. It was obvious that it was meant to be a holy cleansing instrument. I flinched in slight pain as its pure and holy energy flowed past me. "Demon bounty hunters. It was good that we came after this happened," Raijuu said, breaking the silent blanket that had been cast over us.
I started to tremble with anger. This brought back painful memories... "This is why demons and humans can never be close to one another," I growled. Kokoro looked curiously at me, as if to try to read my mind...
"I can tell Chiyoko-san was here because I feel her chakra in the air," Raijuu said. Chiyoko? Hm... I followed both of them until we came upon a curious scene: several biju looked as if they had been in an all-out war. Raijuu sugested we leave them uninterrupted. Kokoro agreed, but I was wondering about a certain biju there.
"Who is he?" I asked, and pointed to a fox biju that was of nine tails.
"He is the leader of the club... the king of the biju." Kokoro and Raijuu said.
"King of the biju?"
"Yep..I think you better present yourself later when he rests..."
I stared at the fox a bit longer. King of the biju... I was charmed by his aura. He was very graceful, even covered with blood. What would it be like if I was him...? I put these ridiculous thoughts out of my head and followed my two aquaintances away from the scene.
The sun was rising... Wait... THE SUN WAS RISING?! Was I out THAT long? Raijuu turned to Kokoro and I and asked if we wanted breakfast.
"You know how to cook?!" Kokoro burst out.
"Yes Koko-chan..... I actually cook good stuff... So what do you think Asuka-chan?"
Asuka-chan? Who the hell does this guy think he is? I barely know him and he's calling me "Asuka-chan"? I thought angrily. Apparently my thoughts were displayed on my face, for Raijuu looked at me strangely. We then went to what seemed to be his house where he fixed breakfast for us. Kokoro and I shot each other a look that said, "I hope to God this food won't kill us," and took the first bite. It was HEAVENLY...
I finished breakfast and told Kokoro to tell Raijuu that the food was delicious and I wished to stay longer, but I had something important to do. I left his place and went back to the area where I met them. I wondered if I should go home... No! Why would I return to that gloomy place now? But... I have nothing left to do... Suddenly an especially delicious scent was inhaled by my wonderful lungs. Blood of a human... That was all that I needed. I must follow that scent.
I arrived several hours later at a secluded park. I had been following this human for the longest time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. What a wonderful time and place to commit the murder. The pale moonlight gave eerily beautiful glows on the stone path. Then... I saw him. The human who had the blood that aroused my killing instincts. He was around the age of 25, had dark brown hair, and was a little taller than me. I walked over to him.
"Hello," I said, giving him a genuine smile-which signaled that I was about to kill.
"Hello... I see you're up late as well," he replied, smiling back.
"Do you know I'm going to kill you now?" I asked apathetically, waiting for him to try to escape. Too bad he would never have a chance. Red Pandas use the trees to their advantage. I could strike anywhere and anytime, jumping from the trees and mercilessly slaughtering my prey. Chishio taught me that.
"Oh, really? Then it's best you hurry up. We don't have all night, you know," the man said.
I was shocked. He wasn't afraid of me? How interesting. I should love his blood even more now... "Yes, sir, I shall," I whispered. He closed his eyes, and I plunged my fangs into his neck. He didn't even cry out.
His blood was even better than Raijuu's breakfast! I finished drinking and gently set his lifeless body on the ground. I walked over to a pond and washed the blood off of my face-there wasn't a struggle, so my clothes were perfectly clean. I let the water settle and stared at my reflection in the bloody water.
A reflection reveals your inner self. That phrase echoed in my mind. My brother used to tell me that all the time. Brother... I stared up at the moon. Where are you now? Are you happy without your sister? Have you forgiven me for... No... I couldn't think about it.
The water settled and I could see myself clearly. I saw a girl with chocolate brown hair staring back at me. Her blood red eyes met mine. This was... what I looked like on the outside, in the real world. I stared beyond that. I now saw a girl that looked the same, just 3 years younger, the age of 14. She was crying. All she had felt in life was pain. Her biju had caused her even more misery than when she was without it for the first few years of her life. Yet it wasn't truly the biju's fault. It was her own. It was her fault that that horrible act was committed. I slapped the water's surface and cried out to the heavens. But the stars wouldn't listen... How could they?
-Someone please continue, continue, continue!-

(Author's note: Now remember Asuka is a biju, not a vampire. She simply drank the blood from the neck because of the easy access to a major artery. Lol.)
