"This is shit man, we just broke even this month." Heero looked up from his office PC at Duo who was at his own desk banging his head lightly against his own computer screen; he knew not what to say, but only listened to Duo ramble on.

"What's going wrong Heero? Two months ago we didn't have pockets big enough to stash our profit...and now...we're barely keeping above the surface." Heero took a deep breath.

"I'm sure it'll pick up eventually. I mean that's why we bought this business. They'll always be a place for sweepers." Duo snorted at Heero's optimism.

"We were obviously delusional when we made that statement." Duo rose from his chair and grabbed his coat. "I'm going to see Hildie."

"How's she doing?"

"Well, the docs are only givin' her two weeks at the most. They're just tryin' to make her comfortable now." He fluttered his eyes to prevent his tears from escaping. "See ya later partner."

Heero said nothing but only nodded his good-bye. He felt so bad for Duo. Him and Hildie had been together five years and had finally gotten around to making their relationship legal when the diagnosis of her cancer was made. And so, at the young age of 23 Duo was on his way to becoming a widower.

The stress his lifelong friend had been under had hurt their business, but Heero did not want to tell him that was the reason and so, he allowed him to keep thinking it was something else causing them to be three steps away from bankruptcy. Heero sighed heavily. He had to find a way on his own to try and bring their business back up to par, especially since the hospital bills for Hildie's care had started coming in.

"Relena had briefly popped back to her apartment where she had washed herself off quickly and changed even quicker, and now, she was in front of the hottest party club on L2. She always laughed at the irony of the club's name being Bloodlust. She entered the establishment and immediately saw two familiar faces, or, fellow Vamps, as they called themselves. They came up to her and greeted her each with a kiss on the lips.

"We were wondering if you were going to come tonight Lena." Relena smiled at Trowa's comment, wrapping her arms around both of the boy's waists.

"Well I know how badly you boys wanted me...to come." Trowa chuckled catching her double meaning.

"You are shameful woman," Wufei began, "but I like it." The threesome made their way over to the dance floor where they began to bump and grind against one another as if they were no different from any other young adults that attended the club. But they simply were not just dancing. They were hunting. Checking out the various scents and moods of the other clubbers picking out those they thought would be the most vulnerable and weak. They honed in on a blonde.

"I want her." Voiced Trowa. Relena smiled as she slid her hand away from where it had been rubbing to the beat of the music on the inside of his thigh.

"Then I'll get her for you."

Relena wiggled her body into between the waves of the bodies until she was dancing right across from her.

"Hi." Relena spoke raising her voice so that it could be heard above the loudspeaker.

"Hi." The other girl hollered back.

"My name's Lena."

"Gloria."

"You see my guy friend over there." Gloria nodded.

"The Chinese guy or the other one?"

"The other one…anyway, he's interested in you."

"Really? I don't know. I'm not into picking up strange men at clubs." Relena upped her advance and wrapped her arms around Gloria's neck locking her eyes onto hers.

"But he wants you...and you want him." Gloria's pupil's dilated somewhat as she began to zone out, oblivious to everyone but Relena and her voice.

"He is cute."

"He's also a great fuck...believe me...and you want to fuck him. In fact, you will do whatever he wants won't you?"

Gloria went mute suddenly and merely nodded. Relena smiled as if she were the Cheshire cat and taking Gloria's hand she began to lead her to the two male Vamps. She could see Trowa's smirk from across the room.

"Relena's amazing isn't she?"

"She should be." Replied Wufei. "She does have the blood of the ancients running through her veins." There was a brief silence between the two men and then Wufei spoke again. "I'm jealous Trowa." Wufei pouted somewhat and tightened his embrace around Trowa. "It seems that you have only been into woman lately."



Trowa turned his face so that he was nose to nose with Wufei; he ran a long slender finger down his Asian lover's cheek. "You shouldn't worry my dear Wufei. It's when I start bringing home other men to fuck and dine on is when you will have to start worrying."

Wufei smiled thinly, understanding what Trowa was telling him.

"I should never doubt you Trowa." The green-eyed man tilted his head and brought his lips against Wufei's, he kissed him gently while he spoke.

"If you wish my love, I'll gladly share, the girl Relena's, bringing us with you." Wufei returned Trowa's kiss before answering.

"Well, I've always had a weakness for blondes."

~Outside of Heero and Duo's scrap yard~

"One more lock, that's it." Heero shivered and looked around making sure he was still by himself. "Why did the shop have to be in this part of town?" He glanced over the building and yard one final time. Satisfied that everything was fine he went to his car eager to do nothing but get home.

***************************

Trowa jerked up from Gloria's body with a low growl, his hunger and lust satisfied for the moment; he rolled to a sitting position and pushed the blonde's dead corpse onto the floor to make room so that he could lie down on the blood soaked mattress. "Oh that bitch was sweet!"

Trowa noticed the look that Wufei was giving him. Instead of joining him as he had planned Wufei had found his own female friend that he wanted to play with and had just finished her off as well. Relena had merely stayed in a corner of the room watching with amusement her two friends "work" on the unsuspecting girls. She rose to her feet and smiled thinly; amused even more when the two male Vamps had began attacking each other, working themselves up into a sexual frenzy. They rolled around and thrashed on the bed their naked flesh turning red from the fresh blood of their fallen victims. My cue to exist Relena thought, as she left the room.

The hotel that they had been in had been an exclusive hotel that was run by the Vamps themselves. It was a refuge, a safe place where they could bring their intended victims and do with them whatever they wished without fear of the outside and the law. Relena thought back briefly to the men she had slain in the alley, she had not taken all of their blood, but she had shoved pieces of wood that had been lying by a dumpster through them so that they would not arise as one of her own. The guild was very selective whom it was they brought into the clan, and so after each killing they had to make sure that their victims were really dead.

Relena noticed that breeze of the night had gotten chillier and it gave her an exhilarating feeling. She levitated herself off of her feet and then, she took off flying at full speed into the night.

****************************

Duo's eyes were red and sore from his tears. His body ached as the knots in his stomach shot pain through is lower body; he felt as if he was going to vomit. Hildie had fallen asleep thirty minutes ago giving Duo a little private time to begin to grieve. True she was not dead yet, but she may as well have been. He jumped at the feel of a hand touching his shoulder. He turned to see it was the nurse.

"Please Mr. Maxwell. I think you need a little break for a while. There's nothing you can do here. If there are any changes we will let you know. You should at least go to the cafeteria for a cup of coffee.

"Thanks Irene. I think you're right." He rose from his chair and kissed Hildie on the forehead.

****************************

Heero glanced down at his watch. "Midnight?" I really did work over tonight didn't I?' He fought the urge to yawn as he suddenly felt drowsy and closed his eyes for a brief second-BUMP SMACK! Heero's eyes flew open wide as saucers to catch a glimpse of a figure crashing into the windshield of his car only to bounce back off and hit the pavement. Heero's car screeched to a halt. Heero jumped out of his car and ran over to the fallen body.

Oh my god! Are you all right?" He knelt beside the body and rolled it over into his arms noticing that the body was a young woman. He checked her pulse, it was faint and from what he could tell there were no broken bones. "It's okay, I'll call the ambulance." The woman stirred in his arms and spoke, her voice barely a whisper. "No hospitals please. I'm fine."

Relena shook her head. Disorientation had taken over her body along with some pain from the injuries she had sustained. She had never felt so out of it in all of her 800 years. She struggled to stand, telling him not to take her to a hospital.

"At least let me take you back to my place. I can't believe you haven't even sustained any broken bones." Relena found she could barely keep her eyes open and the man's voice sounded distant. She allowed him to help her stand and ease her into his vehicle.

****************************

Duo sat slumped forward, the cup of coffee warmed his hands but his soul still felt cold. He fought back the tears that were threatening to come.

"If only there was someway to save her? Anything would be better then living this life without her. Hildie it isn't fair, to you, to me, to us. Damn it!" Duo slammed his fist on the table. "If only there was a way!" He sat upright suddenly startled feeling a presence behind him.

"So. You are willing to do anything to save the life of your beloved?"

Duo rose from his chair and slowly turned finding himself facing a blonde haired man with green-blue eyes and pale skin.
"Who are you?" The mysterious blonde held out his hand.

"My name is Quatre."
