The Vampire Angel
Chapter 2: my vampire friend
 
I ring the doorbell. I only have to wait three seconds and she answers. I lean against the doorway with my arms crossed. A smirk on my face.
 
“Well, if it isn't my old friend Kagome.” She says “where you been the last thirteen years?”
 
“Busy” I say. “Apparently” she replies.
 
“It's good to see you Sango.”
 
“You too, Kags.” She says and we hug. I come into her condo. It's nicer then mine, but that mostly has to do with the fact Sango's rich. Her condo has a large window that's the size of the wall in the living room. If you look out the window you see the sunset each evening. Sango lives on the top floor too. Sango has two guestrooms. Her own hunting room. I'll just let your minds imagine how luxurious her condo is.
 
“I need some blood,” I say.
“And what makes you think that I have any left?”
 
“Call it a hunch?”
 
“Yeah, I got some. Come on. You look kind of thirsty anyway,” she says as she leads me to the cellar. Not really the cellar, but I don't know what they would call it in a condo.
 
Her blood is stored in bottles like for wine. So if anyone thinks something weird of it she says she collects rare red wines.
 
“Here's a good one. Drink up” she hands me a bottle. O positive.
 
“Thanks.” I say and start drinking. Whenever I drink my eyes glow a bright blue. This time was no exception.
 
“So you still fight the forces of evil?” she asks.
 
“You know it.” I tell her and we catch up on old times.
 
***************
 
Here's what you need to know about Sango. She's a vampire much older than myself. Let's say she's 19 going on 500. She's seen a lot. I don't know how she came to have all this money now. And I don't think I'll ever know.
 
Both Sango and I are vegetarians. That means we don't drink from humans. At least not living humans. That's where Sango helps us both. She works at the city morgue. She sneaks blood from dead humans and it never comes up missing. I must say, she is talented. If we weren't vegetarians we couldn't stay put in this city, because people would begin to notice the numerous deaths. When you drink you kill your victim. That's why I try to go without human blood for as long as I can. No vampire can exist without human blood. But they can drink animal blood. And that's what I do. But every once in a while I need to visit Sango for blood.
 
I, as a vampire-technically half vampire-, try to avoid human contact. Unless they come to me like the incident 13 years ago. The scent of human blood is alluring. That is why I try not to get too close to many. I could lose myself and kill them. Sango is better practiced at controlling herself around humans. I don't know how she does it.
 
*************
 
Sango and me have been talking for a while, but I need to go.
 
“Well, fine then, I'll just call some of my other friends.” She says.
 
“You realize I'm the only friend you have not because of your money?”
 
“Yes, I do. And you're also my only half vampire friend.”
 
“But you know you love me.”
 
“Yes, but us vampires aren't really supposed to love, you know.”
 
“Still happens. How can you stand to be around for humans for so long”?
 
“Simple, I'm better at it than you.” I glare at her. Then she laughs. “No, but seriously, I've had many years of practice. More years than before you were born.”
 
“Fine then. Well, I gotta go.” I say as I hug her.
 
“Go where, you don't do anything exciting anyway. You should live a little even though you don't really have a life to live.”
 
“Yeah. I'm still going.” She sighs.
 
“Fine, but come by more often.”
 
“I will, but it most likely will be cause I'm in trouble and need you to bail me out.”
 
“Just try to stay out of trouble less then usual. For me”
 
“For you. Bye Sango”
 
“Bye Kags.” She says as I walk out her door. I walk home in the evening sunlight. It doesn't hurt as much as noon, but it still tingles.
 
Hollywood's vampires are so stupid, it's insulting. Like when they say we can't be seen in the mirror, you can see us just fine. But we can't be seen well in a photo. Or how we bite people. We don't even have fangs. Or changing into a bat. What's up with that? We can't change form, although I am the one exception. Though we can run so fast we seem invisible to human eyes. We don't have to be invited in to come into a house. Garlic isn't our kryptonite. And we can go out in sunlight. It's just painful. Sunrise and sunset are almost painless. It just tingles. Noon is most hurtful. It's not so bad, like I have to scream in agony. No, it just feels like bad cramps all over my body that won't go away. By nighttime I'm relieved of this pain, but I've learned to ignore the pain. Of course, Sango is better at it cause she has more practice.
 
I'm off to do my nightly activities. I need something to do considering I don't sleep.

He's grown up very nicely. He's now a reporter working for the Shikon Jewel. A popular newspaper here. He doesn't know what he's done to me. He's left an imprint on me telling me to watch over him. I haven't left him alone for too long since the incident. But that may depend on what you define long. He seems happy except he has to work for his brother, but he gets to do what he wants. Find the story no one else would dare try.
 
I worry about him constantly. Always getting into situations that could kill him. If he'd just sit still. Then I wouldn't need to worry so much.
 
I do this every night that I'm in the city. I come by his work up in the trees while he packs up to leave. I fly over high so he thinks I'm a bird if he happens to look up. I just make sure he gets home safely. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to him and I could have done something to prevent it. If only I could kill that cold brother of his. But then he'd have no family left and I would feel horrible.
 
He's gotten home safely. Now I can somewhat relax. I fly home.
 
************
 
I land on the balcony and bring my wings into my body. I take out my key and unlock the balcony doors. I go to my room and relax on the bed. I stare up at the ceiling. Pictures of memories run through my head like a slideshow. The day I died. When I was brought back as an angel. My wedding. The day I turned into a vampire. The day Izayoi asked for my help. The last kiss I gave to my ex-husband before I killed him. 6-year-old Inuyasha's terrified face after being taken by a vampire. The love shared between Izayoi and Inuyasha. Sango's face when I saw her today, the first time I'd seen her in 13 years. 19-year-old Inuyasha getting home safely.
 
“Ugh” I groan. I turn over face down in my bed, my head buried in a pillow. So many memories that haunt me. I haven't let them get to me for the majority of my new life. Why now?
