• The dark winter sky seemed to have no end, the deep dark blue went as far as the eye can see. The stars shone brightly over the peak of the Shiro Mountains and lit the snow that heavily coated the Yasu-Hime Forest. The snow reflected the moons rays into small diamondy faeries dancing gracefully through the sky. The village seemed to be frozen in a glittering wonderland. Most, if not all were fast asleep. As the 12' O clock bell tolled in the Yumi clocktower, Kiree stirred a bit, and awoke.
    Her deep heavy breaths sent large puffs of cold air into her room. Covered in deer hide, she groggily sat up and peered around. Her sapphire colored eyes fell apon a vast collection of photos. She picked up one of two people, a woman with emerald green hair, just like herself. The other however, a man, was torn off. Kiree set it back down and heaved a long sigh. She then layed her head back down to her worn pillow and slowly closed her eyes.
    Just then, a piercing scream filled the night air that followed up by whirring alarm. She awoke from her daze and shot upright. " Could...could it be!?!" She stammered reaching for her katana. She jumped out of bed and slid across her room and burst out of her door. she took a few bounding steps only to be stopped by a looming figure towering above her. The figure smiled, revealing sharp bright white teeth. " A Vampyre!!!" Kiree whispered to herself, taking a few steps back. " Thats right...now stay still and be a good little girl while I kill you..." Kiree was frozen with fear but managed to choke out, " No...stay away...STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!!" The Vampyre sighed and unsheathed a red sword, " Hmph... this should be easier than I thought..." he muttered." NO!!!" Kiree cried covering her face."
    " Kiree!!!! Duck!!!!!" a voice called from the distance. She ducked just in time for an arrow to whiz by her head and plunge into the Vampyre's heart. Kiree peered behind her and cried out "Rentoro-Kun!!!" and flung herself to him. "It's O.K...." he said, pausing to hug back." He's paralyzed... but not for long..." He glanced down, Kiree was crying and whimpering. He kissed her diamondy skin and said " It's O.K... Just go to the safe house and treat the wounded and the semi-transformed. Kiree nodded and ran of. Naku turned around and smiled.
    " It all falls into place...." Lord Uremeshiya muttered. Behind his throne a Vampyre muttered " Milord... is it time?" Lord Uremeshiya slightly turned his head and and said, " Give him... the sign..." He paused, " It is time..." The Vampyre nodded and said, " Yes Milord," and disapeared into the shadows.
    " The piercing screams, how troubleing..." Rentoro muttered speeding through the bloodied ferns, his sensitive night elve ears twitching. He pulled a few arrows from his quiver and readied himself for any attack. As a group of Vampyres stalked by, he crouched behind a bush and readied his bow. One Vampyre stopped and all of a sudden threw a senbon covered in faerie blood at Rentoro. Rentoro moved rapidly but the senbon grazed his cheek and took it's intended damage, to slow him down. Rentoro broke out in a weak sprint. The other Vampyre drew a arrow covered in black roses and set it in the red bow. Aimed. Fired. Rentoro stopped abruptedly and touched his chest, only realizing that the arrow went straight through him. He collapsed intantly, his blood stained the dark green grass mahagony. He noticed a small light where the arrow stuck, and then passed out. The Vampyre shook his head and muttered, " The son will be prophesized" and disapeared.
    Kiree worked dilagently back at the safehouse. The whole room was filled with terrible moaning and crying. Then the guards began to scream followed by the the sound of bone shatter. The medical crew was being tossed aside like ragdolls by a large bloody Vampyre. The Vampyre charged at Kiree and grabbed her by her neck. Kiree stuggled but the Vampyre slapped her face and growled, " Stay still you little runt!!!" he smiled evily, " your blue haired friend didn't stay still, and now he is gonna stay still for a REALLY long time!!!" He laughed crazily and loosend his grip. " You...you monster... YOU MONSTER!!!!!!" Kiree cried aloud. She began to set aflame and she lurched forward wildly. Before the Vampyre perished in the green flame he whispered " Mission Acomplished..." Kiree staggered out on the safehouse, leaving it aflame ina brilliant green. Kiree continued to stagger foward, she was followed by the eyes of the remaining villagers. Then she collapsed.
    " Hmmmmm.....interesting..." lord Uremeshiya said with interest, gazing intently into a black crystal rose. " Milord...?" two sickly sweet voices called out. " Ahhhhh.... my two beatiful twins of death...."Lord Uremeshiya said with a smile. " Haven't you found her yet?" they called again. Uremeshiya nodded. The two twins pranced in briskly clad in red kimonos, " Can we do some...work?" They asked. " No not yet... you may have your killing spree soon enough..." he replyed. The twins broke out into demonic giggles and said " We'll be waiting..." and disapeared. " Good...." Uremeshiya said evily still staring intently into the rose. " Finally....it will all be over soon enough..."
