"The sun shone down apon the grass, reflecting off of the dew that lay collectively on each blade... Blade.. everything i do involves the use of weapons, does it not...

My name.. ah yes.. my Name is Shido Kimorin.. and unlike most boys my age.. i am the result of a man betraying the gods... i am a vampire.. a daywalkers.. meaning i can go out into the day and face the light that my people hate so much.. i am not at all short. though not a giant in my hight.. i am a bit more willowy im apearance compared to most.. my silver, almost white, hair is carefully swept back to keep it out of my eyes, and the tips of each hair are a red color. Proving my leniage to being a vampire..

Vampires are ment to be alone.. to lust and learn.. that is all that we are supost to do.. to lust after the need for Blood and women.. to learn all that is to be learned... Vampires are very knowlegable. yet one woman taught me something that i was sure was not true.... She tought me out to love..

Tenna.. the escences of beauty. she was abour 5'6" making her just short enough to be hugged and have your head rest on hers.. she wasn't skinny, nor was she fat, she had a slightly muscular body, but not so much that she could have taken anyone on other then for self protection.. her hair was a deep raven black color,, cut short and spiked slightly from the wind blowing.. each tip of her hair was dyed a deep purple color.. not meaning anything like my red tips.. they just added to her beauty.. the last thing of Tenna that made her so special, other then her soft violet colored eyes, as her personality..

Yes.. she feared me like anyone else did upon meeting me.. but she tried her hardest to fight back her fear of my blood sucking abilities and greeted me with a soft smile every time we met.. she introduced herself and laughed softly.. i had never heard a sound so perfect...

Things went great... we became very close friends.. i even brought her over to my house one day, she had wished to see my extensive weapon 'collection'.. she knew of my trade.. killing demons who threated the innocent.. ones like myself.. it was that day that we shared our first kiss.. she still had that fear in her, it wasn't the foul stench of fear that i could smell off of all the others... it was a soft flutter.. my lips coming incontact with her's made her quiver slightly. She didnt resist.. and after a moment, her lips moved to form against mine gently..

Peace. Serenity.. Everything was perfect between us.. She even took me to her own home to introduce me to her parents.. They didn't aprove of me.. i could tell that.. but i didnt blame them.. who would like to see their daughter dating a vampire..they definatly didnt aprove of my collection.. though i never tried to grab any part of her, never even when we were alone.. all i did to tease her father was wrap my arms around her often in gently hugs, which she quickly melted against me and smiled.. and kissing her.. god i loved that.. to watch her fathers face turn red in anger as my lips brushed over her cheek.. or her lips.. he wanted to kill me.. that much was aparent..

But i am alone now.. i screwed everything up... i normally went to the blood bank for my need of blood that occured ever so often.. but i craved her blood also.. there was nothing i wanted more..i was scared.. i didnt want to turn her into what i had become.. a vampire.. my fear of her being like me was along with the fear of our love breaking.. i had no help in bringing the last one to life.. i struck her..

She had questioned me again. asking why i was so distant to other people.. so cold to everyone but her.. i yelled at her.. she yelled back.. and my hand slipped, moving across her face in a loud smack..

Even with her face now turned away from me. i could see the bright red, the shine of tears sliding down it, a small sob wracked her body.. she left.. not another word said between the two of us.. she left, leaving the door open.. it was a cold night.. and i was so angered at her, no.. at myself for what i had done to her. i could care less what happened.. i left.. not going to the blood bank.... i new where a few humans who needed to die where.. and i was going to enjoy killing them..."

It has been nearly a year sense he last spoke to Tenna, almost the same kinda day and also the same temperature, though he barely noticed sense he was in more control of his body than most creatures these days. Sighing deeply and shaking his head he sat down on one side of the heating vent which flowed up on top of the roof to nest somewhere and keep from overheating for this time of year. Shido wore a long sleeved black shirt, with a tight fit sense he didn't care abut the cold just frostbite for now, his jeans were dyed black and his hair stuck out because of this as where his black boots matched his clothes, his snow white hair was spiked back and had a dip of red on every tip, most kids knew what this hairstyle meant but it was unusual for Shido sense he was out in the day, sure it was cloudy but the sun could come out at any moment, but he could care less sense he was born a daywalker, along with a few other names he didn't care to use

Tenna approached the school as she had done for the past year. Still attending the classes that she needed if she was going to move on with her life away from Shido.. a whole year.. not a word said between the two.. she had to admit that she missed him.. though.. between her own pride, and probably his own.. she wouldn't talk to him unless he talk to her.. which didn't look like it was going to happen.. she was dressed once more in the school's uniform.. a dark navy blue skirt and matching shirt.. something that she normally wouldn't wear.. she didn't like uniforms.. being one of the crowd.. all the same.. she paused for a second and sighed.. her mind was still a bit hazy of why she and Shido separated... holding her book bag to her, she enters the school..

Shido looked down from the vent as the metal warmed him enough to not care about the cold even more so, before it was annoying now it's just there. His eyes came upon a certain girl of course, it always did and always had, from the first year when he had to paint a picture of her and got every detail down to the slight shot of her panties and up to the very last moment when he slapped her across the face for yelling at him, asking to know why he was so distant and so cold. He figured she got the picture now, if not from his appearance then probably one of her friends who would tell her why his parents were gone and why he visited the blood bank once a month. Blowing out of his nose in a swift breath Shido turned and hopped off the vent, going back inside and starting downstairs for his class sense he still wanted to know much of this world, even though he had all the time in it to learn of it ::

Tenna pulls a piece of paper out of her book bag and looked it over.. she had just finished a semester of one class.. and she had aced it. so the teacher was moving her to another subject that she needed to learn.. sliding the paper back in her bag she reached up and brushed her hand through her hair.. thinking of Shido.. of everything that had happened between them had gotten her a little flustered.. she was lucky though.. she didn't often see him in school.. and when she did. they both stayed clear of each other.. Heading downstairs to her new class, Tenna looked around as she walked.. pausing for a sec before the door she had to enter. going inside she handed the teacher a note, explaining the class change.. looking around. she spotted an empty seat... but Shido.. gulping softly.. she tried to ignore that he was besides her, and took the seat, looking straight ahead...

Shido was fidgeting with a small paper, basic computer paper which many kids found odd sense he held nothing with him coming to school and somehow got pencil, eraser, and a paper without even leaving his seat. His eyes only moved and his fingers stopped when the seat next to himself was occupied, for fact he was next to the window and the person next to him moved to a different class for ‘ unexplained reasons’ Shido had been alone in his little spot for some time. Yet finding Tenna in there and so close to him he waved a hand over the paper and pencil, both vanished and he did as well in a cloud of black smoke, this would be odd in another dimension but this one there were little limits to what one could achieve. A neko-jin boy who sat just behind Shido grinned and said “ Good riddance to the trash... filthy vamp “ a few others nodded and another few laughed or giggled, but the teacher hushed them and said “ Quite... he may be a helthish ( vampire in another language ) but he isn't sucking on anyone in this county or this world, so bite your tongues and leave him to rest, he will be given a detention just like a normal student “ the boy who spoke earlier just laughed under his breath and mutter “ Ya a normal nutcase student”

Tenna wasn't surprised to see Shido leave like that.. she would have done the same had she not been human.. hearing the kids joking and laughing because of Shido shouldn't have bothered her.. and she knew that.. they we're not seeing each other at all.. hadn't talked in a year.. but still.. it bothered her when anyone was made fun of.. Turning back in her seat to look to the Neko boy who sat just behind Shido, her eyes turn to a glare, which, even though she was human, she could be pretty scary when angry.. " Don’t make fun of him..." she continued to glare for a sec before turning back and attempting to pay attention to the lesson.. wondering where and what Shido was doing.. she hadn't thought about him shirt much since they first broke up..

the Neko just quirked a brow and said “ He feeds off your race the most but you still back him up, must have the ho “ before the Neko could finish a small puff could be heard before the chair and the neko-jin flew back and hit he back wall, kids gasping as all there was a single puff of black smoke and nothing else. Shido had not been far and kept that only to do what he use to normally when someone would try to pick on Tenna, though back then he had to walk and not just appear. Finding himself in the sparring gym Shido had been in the locker room and put on his kick boxing outfit, but not the gear, even though he was a vampire the ring had an aura around it that lowered the higher fighter's power to match his opponent, this being the only way Shido trained after school as a few Celtic beings had made most of the school and also the rooms in it for ability restriction and equality when needed. Shido walked out to the side ring to watch as the matches wouldn't start till after school, and by then there would me more than one guy looking to tear into Shido, which often they tried with claws and teeth

Tenna was a bit surprised. now just by what the Neko boy had been about to say. but by the sudden appearance of the smoke Shido used to use to protect her.. . just like old times. closing her eyes she tried not to think about old times.. where everything was good.. her mind continued to wander as she tried to think of where he could be right now.. she really wanted to talk to him now.. why. after a year of silence.. a year of nothing between them.. had he suddenly come to her defense.. could there still be feelings left for her.. Once her class had ended, she had a free period.. hopefully enough time to check out the sparring Gym for him.. entering the gym. she looks around. holding her books to her chest as she entered in a bit farther looking around.

Shido was of course sparring at the time sense the palimonies were held for top fighters of skill and balance. Yet a mistake most made around Shido was that he adapted and could easily mimic someone's ability, even their skill. Up in the ring Shido stood across from a neko-jin, the older brother of the one Shido had pummeled earlier. Soon enough the Neko ran at Shido and bean sending wave after wave of thousand hand technique, a move which allowed anyone who used it to hit with tremendous speed, even create winds from the force. Shido took the blows as his lips and eye were cut, the corner of each leaking blood sense this school didn't hold back in their sparring and fighting tournaments. Shido smirked some and wiped his mouth off “ Nice... but I just learned something new “ within a moment there were two Shido's, one still kneeling and bleeding, and another making ten kickstand punches a second which was leaving the neko-jin in rabbles from the assault. Just as Shido finished the kneeling one jumped up in slow mo, soon absorbed into the real Shido as his after image was done to distract the other fighter. The shield went down from their fight and the Celtics took the student out and to the side to heal and treat, Shido just shooed the others away as his wounds healed the moment he was free from the barrier. Walking to the side railing Shido took a bottle set there alone from all the rest, drinking from it slowly as he glanced over to Tenna for only a moment before turning and heading to the other side of the gym to watch other fights

Tenna stood there being as silent as she could possibly be as she watched the fight progress.. knowing that the Neko was wasting his efforts were in vain.. nothing he could put forth would be more then a few scratched on Shido... once Shido had stopped fighting. she stood there a moment longer to watch him.. but.. upon seeing her, he saw her go towards the other side of the gym.. nope.. she couldn't let that happen this time.. running across the room.. she approached him as quickly as she could.. " Shido.. hang on.. I want to talk to you.." she came up behind him, not wanting to really get any closer to him.. she still, in the back of her mind held a place for fear of him.

Shido stopped but only to glance back at the voice which spoke his name, but he hissed out faintly like a biker would spit, but of course it was only a hiss, no saliva around. Continuing on he walked at a decent pace and said “ Don't try and act brave Tenna... it only comes as an insult to go 90% and not the full way... fear is easy to smell “ he turned slightly to lean on a railing to watch a fight between two Elvin students, both telepathic and using their minds to battle as the display the elders gave was more interesting than the small sparks between the twins who were oddly not in the same family, just a certain mix of genes and the family line producing the same exact child, but given different souls. Shido's eyes didn't look at Tenna no tried as he was more on learning of ways to battle, mind beats power, power beats a weak mind, and a weak mind can wreck the most powerful mind, an odd fact but it was rare that happened

Tenna stopped where she was as he hissed at her.. raising an eyebrow she continued on to follow him. " I am afraid of what you can do... but I’m not afraid of you in person Shido..." she moved up to sit next to him. her eyes moving down to the 'twins' fighting.." why did you do that... in class.. you didn’t have to.. I could have taken what the Neko was going to say.. so why did you do that.." she didn't look at him. and the sent of fear completely left her body while she sat there and focused her eyes away from him and to the fights going on around them

Shido looked at the fight and noticed Tenna there next to him, sighing he said “ I won't take talk behind my back, so I shut him up and got a good Samaritan award... “ he kept his eyes on the fight as this was a patience battle which no-one usually stayed for long before they went for food or drinks. Licking his lips Shido took another swig of his bottle then moved on again, just keeping from her as his mind was rather mixed about and he couldn't quite understand himself what he was doing. Stopping at a phantom fight which was astro projection fighting that made a rather good show for himself sense not many could see the mere light from the fight and he could see their actual projections

Tenna got up and followed him as he went to another fight to watch " you know... its been a year... id think that maybe you wouldn't be so.. hostile towards me any more.." she wasn't all to sure of what she was doing. but she kept herself calm. keeping her fear levels as far down as she could managed.. standing besides him, did reminder her of days before they quit communication... happy times.. thinking of this made her a little sad as she continued on. " or maybe you’ve always hated me?"


Shido groaned some as she spoke to him, finding this wouldn't be easy as he turned from her and said “ Stupid girl... always thinking that when every little thing goes wrong “ walking a bit more down he crossed his arms and looked down closing his eyes “ What do you want Tenna? An honest apology, to beg for your forgiveness and love? Unless you haven't heard I've become a vampire... vampires don't have souls... they feed and learn “ his words were more pushed out than anything as he stepped a bit more down just to pace from her as he was more concentrated on keeping her away sense it would keep him from wanting to feed off her, and to keep from hurting her again, even though last time he was too pressured to keep himself from just hitting someone, unfortunately Tenna was there, the pope would have been a more preferred target

she continued to walk on just behind him.. knowing herself that this was not going to be easy. she under stood that he had become a vampire.. she understood it and did fear it a bit. " I didn’t come for an honest apology Shido..." she stopped for a moment. what did she want.. taking a breath, she sighed " and I guess it would mean nothing if I was to say I wanted to apologize.. no.. I guess it wouldn’t would it.. as you said.. Vampires only feed and learn.... " she turned away from him and began to walk back to the other side to the gym, towards to door so that she could leave and go wait for her next class to start..

Shido remained still for a time, yet as she left another approached, the Neko from before who had healed and was ready to challenge Shido. Yet Shido growled out and yelled as he roundhoused and launched the Neko past Tenna, making him fly into the hall and go limp as his head was knocked into and he was out cold. Walking off Shido tossed off his training shirt and punched the frame to the gym as it just dented some, vanishing right after and heading home, needing something to drink and needing a bit of time to think as he wasn't planning on Tenna using his words against himself, or that they would hurt so much

Tenna was a caught off guard as Shido hit the Neko past her, causing him to hit his head and go unconscious.. she shivered slightly. he was still as strong as ever.. even more so.. She wasn't feeling proud of turning Shido's words against him.. but that had truly been a reason that she had sot him out after a whole year... to apologize.. for what she wasn’t sure.. for over reacting.. for not speaking to him in a year.. sighing she went on to her next class.. planning after school to go to a few places she had known him to go.. hoping to find him again.

Heading off for his usual hiding spot in the lower part of town Shido walked into the old Japan store which held many ancient swords and also shurikens and also a few other items, the old man laughing as he entered as Shido just glared and the man smiled nodding his head “ You thought about her again hmm? “ Shido sighed and knelt down to a whole row of personally crafted swords which about half were missing, the old man setting down an envelope as Shido called it to himself and put it in his shirt “ Guess my profession has been giving you good business? “ the man nodded and chuckled some while Shido just looked about for other swords as he collected other artist's and also just used them when needed. His occupation for the time was examining the swords sense he had no-where else to go but home

Tenna was finally released from school having finished all of her classes.. she only had two left. but it seemed to her that time had slowed down and it was taking her forever to be able to track down Shido again.. ever time she thought about him, her views and opinions of him changed.. first she was angered at him.. then she felt a pang of missing him.. she had to clear things up in her head.. walking from the school. she remembered where he was living.. well at least where he was living a year ago.. she decided to check there first..


After a while of picking and choosing certain swords and shurikens Shido paid for his "collectables" and waved to the old man, who just smiled and chuckled as he knew how Shido was, being his grandfather and all. Shido carried his weapons on his back, normally this was seen as someone going to a tournament, but when most people knew you for fighting, or going into life threatening situations like it was kid's play, not many didn't notice a vampire stocking up on weapons to fight in someway somewhere sometime. Shido got home decently early even for being there so long, yet as he was about to unlock his door he blinked and then unlocked his door anyways, knowing he should have just let that Neko go this time. Heading into the back room Shido set down the bag and pulled out the fake wall over all his swords and weapons. Putting up each sword under it's selected place and then putting the shurikens on the collected points which poles went through the holes in the middle of each throwing weapon he remained working on placement and cleaning each one off sense they were sharp and needed to look as good as they were. Time would pass and he would ignore anything, not minding who came in just as long as they had no foul intention, which normally most crooks found they had done wrong when entering his home

Tenna stopped outside of Shido’s home.. nothing much had changed on the outside that she had noticed anyways.. taking a deep breath she began to go inside, looking around, in almost a paranoid fashion as she continued into his house.. once into the house, she paused and looked around, wondering where he was.. a soft smile came to her lips.. he would be in the room that all his weapons were kept.. he always was... heading towards that room, she peaks inside, remaining silent and then speaking softly " Shido..." she kept her voice soft in order not to show the fear that was slowly creeping up into her.

While cleaning his double bladed katana, rare and valuable sense the blades were on both ends and not just one side as most swords were, up and pointed, this could hold more space and keep any man safe as long as he knew how to use it right. Pulling up a rag he began to wipe the long metallic blades “ Trying to hide your fear... you've gotten better at it sense the first time I knew I was going to become this... but you still hold it, that is enough to notice Tenna... also you always quiver deep down even when we first kissed “ he pulled the rag away and slowly ran his thumb over one of the edges, his blood flowing out from a blood vessel but it snapped back and sealed over. Shido just did this to improve his healing time, even for a mille second, which was faster than or equal to the speed of light. Putting the blade up he had finished his third wall, which at first only started around the side walls, now nearly the whole room was filled under the fake walls

" fear is what keeps me alive Shido.... I am glad that something has changed since I first met you.. as for the deep quiver you mentioned for the kiss... you were the only one to make that happen..' she moved into the room, looking around at the vast amount of swords and blades that were in the room. " your collection has grown quite a bit since I was last in here.." she looked to him. seeing the quickness of his healing.. the mention of their first kiss brought forth a stir of emotions she wasn’t sure that she was ready to face once more while in Shido's presence..

“I've had more time to invest and also to look about, making donations to museums of Spanish doubloons and also ancient ships long sense thought destroyed under seas... it helps pay the rent you could say “ even though he no longer paid rent, for he had bought the room and appliances a long time ago he found it useless to waist money to just stay here for sleep, when he got it now at least. Picking up the boards slowly and revealing a mat under them while he covered his collection up slowly, Shido glanced to Tenna and asked “ Why did you come here? I thought you understood before what vampires do.. and what they simply want... “ he could hide much, yet his mind was tricking itself to speak as if he meant everything he said, at least meant everything he didn't truly want to say, deep down in his mortal heart “ Don't you find it dangerous to be around a bloodsucker... a lustful beast only wanting to feed off blood and woman? “ his fist clenched the next board as he had one wall left, starting to cover it while barely even seeming to glance towards Tenna

she had to question her self for her presence... she could have just forgotten about their encounter earlier and just gone on with her life... " I guess.. I came to try to say... that I was sorry.. for a year ago... and as for you changing .. I always thought you had a thing for wanting to feed off of woman.. so you now have a special feature for blood... there’s plenty in the world.. " she looked up for a second " and if you think that you being able to suck my blood at any moment bothers me.. your wrong.. I don’t fear you for that Shido... you should know why I fear you.."

“ You fear me because of what I had become back then.. you fear me because you think another session like that day would happen “ he slammed the last board on and locked it in place before turning to face her “ You can fear me for whatever reason you do... but fear is what started this... not yours, but mine... I feared of what I was to become, of what I may do, I feared that I may feed from you and turn you into something like me... my fear angered me and made me hateful to anything, a blind rage, but when the blindfold came off I was alone... and so I shall be, that is a vampire's life, lust bloodlust and learning... fighting every now and then but who can ever escape a primal rage “ he stood there as he had no-where to go, to leave he would have to go near her, to sit anywhere he would have to get closer to her, a lose/lose situation you could say “Just go and find a normal mortal... maybe even an altered demon who has been redeemed... choose any man or maybe even woman, I don't know what this world is anymore, then again when your as ignorant to believe life can go as you want, maybe you shouldn't know how it works”

she smiled softly as he continued to talk. once he was done. she began to speak as though he had never said a word of what he said " you know... I haven’t thought about you much during the time we were away.... until today I guess since had finished crying over you about a year ago.. " she continued to stay near the door way, knowing that he would have to eventually go by her... " as for finding a mortal for myself... no one after you seems worthy... man or woman... and vampires do not always have to be alone.. I have seen and heard many living happily with their mistress that they their self had turned into a vampire.. you had nothing to fear. had you just let me choose for myself..." she frowns slightly, the lever of fear dropping to nearly non existent, but sadness in remembering the past had begun to rise.

“ Let you choose yourself?! “ Shido slammed a fist on the wall as the whole room shook from the boards covering his weapons. Growling faintly and huffing it off he glared at her and said “ Happy with their mistress... do you even realize what your saying? They are a mistress because the vampire wanted them to be, because the soulless bastard wanted a dominant woman who could control him with just what she had on her... and around her “ Shido walked up to Tenna slowly, his hand lifting and setting on the spot where he had slapped her, gently grazing it as he spoke soft but still not as soft as most “ You think you know what fear is for me... you think it's something you imagine and can forget with time... but with me I dream it, not in my sleep either, it came to me when I was turning, what you would and could become was shown to me, you wouldn't have been you, you would have seduced every living being after..... “ shaking his head of the memory of what he saw he stepped past her and stopped just behind her “ Some things happen for a reason... this is happening to me because one man betrayed a son of god, and so I have to be punished for his mistake, not you “ he began off to his room to grab a coat, it got cold at night and unfortunately he still had his soul, which came with body warm, and realization of cold

she flinched when his hand come in contact, even if it was just a soft touch, to the spot where he had hit her.. " Shido... you still never gave me a choice.. maybe I wanted to help you though with the betrayal.." she moved slightly as he walked by her.. but she wasn’t going to let this moment slip away, she followed behind him to his room. " Shido... maybe if you shared your fears and pains, I could help you with them.. you never know.. maybe you never will.." she stopped in his door way, blocking him from being able to leave with out getting her out of the way first.

Shido was holding his coat when she spoke, just listening and sighing when she finished “ I fear not knowing what will happen... I fear that you may become someone who does not love me, if you lose your soul... I lose you, but that scenario played out even without me turning you, or you losing your soul... and I caused it, so you wouldn't be condemned to hell, and so I wouldn't hurt as much as I do now, but as they say, nothing ever goes exactly as you planned “ Shido looked at Tenna over his shoulder, then back down to his coat as he tossed it back and said “ Here... it'll be cold soon, if you don't want every guy starring at you on the way home wear that “ he turned only to sit on the floor, which one section was crafted with a bed inside, almost as if it was made to make the person work to get up, unlike his old one which was like everyone else’s. He still had a computer set up and a few old posters of dragons and anime chicks from games, just joking posters he got to get Tenna a bit steamed back when as he knew she would

she held onto his jacket and frowned slightly, " no. I guess it would not be a good idea for me to go out in the cold with out a jacket... But.. Shido.... the scenario wasn’t played out... and it wont be.. " she moved over to him and set his jacket besides him, walking back to the door way " I never stopped loving you...I just put it away for a while.." she frowned and began to walk from his house.. once out side. she didn’t know where to go.. she didn’t feel like going home.. sighing. she headed towards the park,. deciding that taking a walk in the cold hair might be good to clear her mind.

Shido sat there and just looked to his jacket, finding himself lost from her words as he clenched the material and stood up slowly. Walking past his weapon's room the boards shivered oddly but the reason under his long coat he wore now. The coat he wanted her to wear sat in his hand still, unwrinkled or touched really. Locking his door he walked out from his apartment and followed Tenna's scent, closing in slowly as he tried to make sure no-one would notice him, usually doing so to keep from anyone wanting to start a fight. The park was only another minute away but he knew it would feel longer as hard choices were never that short

Tenna had made it to the park in almost no time flat. she shivered, realizing just how cold it was out.. she secretly wished she had taken Shido's jacket.. but she wasn’t going to give him that satisfaction.. shivering slightly she crossed her arms and rubbed them slightly with her hands... being half way through the park.. she realized sadly that she wasn’t able to clear her thoughts of Shido.. after talking to him... she wanted to sit down with him and talk like they used to.. to kiss him.. shaking her head she shivered continuously. She glanced up a head on the path, a group of young men, looking to mostly be just a year or two older then her laughing in their small group.. one of them motioned over to her with a wicked grin and they began to approach her..
