Chapter 1: Chapter 1


Bankotsu ran his eyes over the village that was in front of him and his men. "Is it just me or do these people look really sick?" asked Jakotsu looking at his leader and best friend.

"Well lets put them out of there misery then" Bankotsu replied bouncing his Banryuu on his shoulder.

"Please leave the village alone, you don't know what you're getting into if you attack" said a singsong female voice and they all turned to a girl who came out of the hut that looked in better condition then the others.

The band of seven were shocked when they seen the women who had asked them to leave her village alone. The women had long blond silk like hair that hung to her shoulders and big bright blue eyes that had specks of red in. her skin was as white as marble but as smooth as a pearl.

She wore a black short kimono that looked easy to run and fight in. the kimono also had darker patches on that left the smell of blood on her. Bankotsu smirked and licked his lips while looking the girl up and down, she had to be no older then seventeen.

"Don't worry babe I'll make sure your okay" he said while she raised a perfectly plucked eyebrow.

"Who do we have hear my sweet Kala?" asked a male voice as a male came over to stand next to the girl. He could have been mistaken for her older BROTHER as they looked the same but the male had black hair and dark brown eyes.

The girl tensed as he stood next to her while not taking her eyes off of Bankotsu. "I am Taki the head of this village, I would love if you came for dinner?" he asked. The girl gave Bankotsu a look and a little shake of her head telling him that he was being led into something.

Bankotsu looked at the male "Well I am hungry, fine" he said and looked at the girl who gave them a sad look and head to the males house which was the biggest and finest house there.


The band of seven had nearly eaten all the food that was on the table. Bankotsu who sat drinking his sake looked at the male Taki and Kala who had not touched any of the food but drank a dark red drink. "Why ask us to dine with you if you're not eating?" asked Bankotsu with a brow rose.

"We are going to eat now actually, how was your food" replied Taki and the girl looked away.

Bankotsu knew this was what he was waiting for; something was about to happen. "Am sorry; I tried to warn you" said Kala looking into his eyes as everyone looked at her.

"Sorry for what filth?" asked Jakotsu narrowing his eyes at the women.

"For making you our food" said Taki and he jumped at Bankotsu who hardly dodged him.

"RUN" shouted the girl as she ran at her friend and they ran out the door. Bankotsu stopped and looked back. Jakotsu who saw this ran to him and tried to drag him.

"Jakotsu go I'll be back now, I need to get her" he said and ran back to the girl while ignoring Jakotsu's plea to not go back.

When Bankotsu got back to the room he saw the girl being pinned down by Taki. Bankotsu swung Banryuu at the male but he was gone. The girl looked at him with her eyes wide "BEHIND YOU" she shouted.

Bankotsu turned but it was too late. He looked down as Taki had put his hand in his gut and then pulled it out of him. Bankotsu fell to the floor and gasped in pain. He heard a growl and saw it was the girl that had made the inhuman sound.

She then ran at Taki with her eyes now a blood red and she ripped his head off. She was then at Bankotsu's side looking over him. "You're going to die" she said looking him in the eyes. "Do you want to live?"

"Yes, I can't leave them" replied Bankotsu as he COUGHED up blood.

"If I do this you won't be human can you live with that for eternity" she asked looking deep into his eyes and he narrowed his eyes.

"YE JUST FUCKING HURRY UP" he shout and she rolled her eyes while lowering her head to his neck and bit deep into it.


"BANKOTSU" shouted Jakotsu and everyone looked as the castle they had just been in had went up in flames with there leader still in there.

Suikotsu grabbed him as he went to run in. he then pointed to something that came out of the flames. Jakotsu gasped as the girl from before carried both Bankotsu (who was screaming) and his Banryuu.

"What did you do to him" he accused glaring at her and pointed Jakotsuto at her. She narrowed her eyes at him and growled.

"Listen boy I have just saved you all and him; I could have been killed so cut me some fucking slack" she growled and it sent a shiver down there backs.

"What's wrong with him" asked Jakotsu worried for his best friend who was still screaming in pain and saying he was on fire.

"Follow me and I will tell you" she said and they all went to the house they first seen her at. She went in and set Bankotsu on a futon that was in the room.

They all sat there as she moved his bangs out of his face and cooed to him. "Shhh it will be over soon, just an hour left and it will be over" she said while stroking his face as if he was her child.

"Bitch it's about time you told us what is going on and now" growled Jakotsu and she turned to look at them all.

"My name's Kala and I have been alive for a thousand years because I am a vampire" she said and looked at them.

"That's not possible" said Renkotsu and they all looked at him.

"What's a vampire" asked Jakotsu confused. Only Renkotsu and Suikotsu seemed to know what she was talking about.

"A vampire is kind of like a demon but is very rare. They are humans that have come back from the dead and they need blood to survive" explained Suikotsu.

"We are not that rare trust me" she replied and sighed while looking back down at Bankotsu who had stopped screaming. "Taki turned me into a vampire for his own selfish needs. He had plunged his hand into Bankotsu's gut and it would have killed him if I never turned him"

"YOU TURNED HIM INTO A VAMPIRE" shouted Jakotsu with his eyes wide.

"Jakotsu will you shut up" said Bankotsu as he sat up and everyone but Kala turned to him.

"Bankotsu" said Jakotsu as he went to run to him. Kala stopped him with her hand.

"I wouldn't if I was you, he might attack you" she sai as she walked over to Bankotsu.

He looked at her with his blood red eyes and he hissed in pain and grabbed his throat. "You need to hunt and the pain will go away, I will show you how too hunt and other things too" she said as he nodded "Lets go hunt"

She helped him up and took his hand while pulling him to the door "we will be back soon" she said and they were gone in a flash.

Still holding onto Bankotsu's hand she stopped when they were at the edge of the forest of the next village that was an hour away from where the others were but It had taken them three minutes to reach it with there vampire speed.

"Close you eyes and let your instincts take over, kill the human after you're done" she said and he did what she told him to do. His eyes shot open and he ran for the village.

Bankotsu's POV

"Yo Kala" I said and sat next down to my creator. It had been a month since she turned me when her creator tried to kill me.

"Hello Bankotsu what's up" she replied looking at me.

"How long are you going to be gone for" I asked looking out to the woods. After we came back form my first hunt Kala had brought us to our NEW HOUSE. It was one she used to live in and it was quite big and was half an hour from a village.

"I should be gone for two weeks maybe three, will you be alright till then" she replied looking at me and I laughed.

"This is me your talking too" I replied and she laughed. I raised a brow and she just shook her head.

"Am going to do the last of my packing" she said and went inside.

"Oo-aniki" came Jakotsu's voice and I turned to watch him as he sat next to me. I frowned and if I was human I would be fidgeting. The last two weeks I have been avoiding Jakotsu, I had started to have feelings for him in more then a friend's way and it was pissing me off.

"Hey Jak what ya want" I asked looking at him out the corner of my eye.

"Have I done something wrong I mean you have been avoiding me for the last two weeks" he said and I looked at him with my eyes turning from blue to red.

"It's not Jak it's just I have had things on my mind, I didn't mean to hurt you" I said while he narrowed his eyes.

"Why won't you tell me" he asked and I growled while jumping at him. I pinned him under me and nuzzled his neck.

"You smell so good" I whispered in his ear and pulled back to see his face.

"Bite me am not scared of you Oo-aniki" he said and I smirked while looking into his eyes.

"You should be Jakotsu" I said while feeling my fangs becoming longer as I lent to his neck and sunk my fangs into his honey scented neck.

After taking my fill I let go of his neck and licked his wounds clean. Standing up I turned to look at Kala who stood watching me. "I told him too" said Jakotsu and I helped him up. What have I done, I hurt my best friend.

"Am sorry Jakotsu" I said and took off into the woods.
