Weiss Kreuz Fan Fiction ❯ About Demons ❯ Chapter 1

In an effort to do a little work on something that might go over better than 'Gravitation & the White Cross' (which currently makes sense ONLY to me) I decided to type this up. It's something that was theoretically going to be a short one shot from Youji's perspective. That misconception survived right up until I hit page 4 of the hand written draft version and Realized that I needed to change perspectives at that point in an effort to keep the work flowing. Anyways... My love of the supernatural shines through full force in this one... *snicker* Gotta love a Vamp Story.

This is actually my first attempt at writing a first person Point of View. The other first is writing in a distinctly past tense... I actually like how it's worked so far... But I don't know quiet what anyone reading this will think.. because I know what I was trying to say back when I wrote it.

Feedback is adored.

"About Demons"
An excerpt from the Journal of Youji Kudo.

What do you know about demons?

Do you know that they lurk everywhere?
You probably wouldn't believe half of what's happened to me. don't worry. I don't expect anyone to believe my account of the last few days. None of it sounds like something that's for REAL.
I don't mind the crazy looks, don't worry.

Beginning in the beginning, lets go back to Monday. Omi was heading out the door to school. Ken and Aya were in the kitchen and I was stumbling down the stairs.

I worked that day.
Works sucks, by the way. Always has, always will.
After a day of stupid working, I took a nap, and then weren't out. I talked Ken into coming.

I was then that it all went to hell.

Ken and I had a nice evening. It was fun. You probably believe this either, but I'm bisexual. Have been since I figured out what sexuality was. Anyways, Ken knows and we've been complaining about the various objects of our affections to each other for awhile now.

Back to the part where everything goes to hell... If started when Kenken and I were walking home. Yes, I said walking home. It was either that or Ken's back, since my Seven was in the shop. We stopped because Kenken was reading the graffiti It's like a really stupid hobby with him. Ken was standing pretty close to an Alley and out of nowhere this guy shows up. I don't think he cared that I saw him, cause he just grabbed Ken and hauled him into the alley.

Ken screamed and I followed.
The guy who'd grabbed him had Ken shoved against the wall and was... CHEWING on his Neck.

Let me tell you something about vampires, because this is important, Vamps don't just bite your back and let the blood poor into their mouths. They sort of gnaw. As far as I can tell, they do this because of human physiology, when you bite a person they bleed just a little. not quiet enough for serious drinking. They chewing probably increases the blood-flow or something.

I hate vampires.
Even through I'd never seen one before, I pulled together everything I learned watching 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and staked his ass.

And then I carried Kenken home. That's the first time I saw one of those bloodsucking bastards. At least the stake to the heart thing really works.

After Kenken was dragged home, things were pretty uneventful. Thank god, cause everything blew up again in a few hours.

Omi told us he'd be at a friends house.
Unfortunately, he'd run into one of our fangy friends on the way there.

Omi makes for a decent sort of vampire. Turns out it's usually the turner that makes the turnee into a sociopathic killer and Omi had been able to get away.
Omi was lucky. Not many people can get away from a vampire. He's also lucky that it had decided to turn him.

See, everyone a vampire bites doesn't turn like far too many of the stories claim. Most people don't even realize they've been bitten. But that's a matter of mind control. You have to consume a fairly good amount of vampire's blood to become a vampire.

Omi stumbled back to the Koneko covered in blood with the bite marks from the vampire still on his neck. Ken and I patched Omi up, and were telling him about the one that attacked Ken.

That's when the kid passed out.
His eyes sort of rolled back and he tipped right off the chair and onto the floor. He stayed out all night, and then all day.

We even had to explain the whole thing to Aya. Aya surprised me. He nodded and took a look at Omi that morning. He said that Omi was 'taking the change'. It was Aya who explained that vampires weren't inherently evil, even if they had a 'demon'. It was also Aya that went out and got blood for Omi. I don't think that Aya's as human as he lets us think, But I'll get into that more later. I also didn't quiet believe him when he said it was Pheasant's Blood that he brought for Omi.

When he woke up, Omi snarled at us with a mouth full of fangs. All Aya did was grab Omi when he jumped at Ken and got his attention on the container of 'Pheasant's blood' instead. After Omi downed that, and there was a lot of it there, he just stared at Aya for a minuet. That was when I noticed Omi's eyes had turned PURPLE. PURPLE! Like Aya's eyes, only a lot bluer of a shade. Aya hasn't said weather or not he is or isn't human, but as far as I can tell, all Vampires who had blue eyes as humans have purple as vampires.

Aya says that's because vampires circulation systems are different from humans and blood 'settles' in the eyes. He also says that after a few hundred years Omi's eyes will be less blue and more real purple. and by the time he reaches seven or eight hundred, almost a blood red.

Aya scares me. He knows too much.
But he DOES have a plan to deal with Swartz that next time we see them.

The next few days were pretty normal, considering. Sure Omi GROWLS a lot now, but Aya insists that that's normal for a fledgling vampire.

Omi spent a lot of that time eating and sleeping. It's weird when Omi gets hungry, because he looks at everything with a pulse as possible food. It's odd that he's tried to attack me and Ken more times than you can count on two hands, but has never tried to attack Aya... By the time Wednesday rolled around he'd nearly managed to get me a half a dozen times. Every time Aya showed up just in time to keep him from tearing into me. It's crazy the way Aya does that. I swear he's got some strange mutant power...

Wednesday morning sucked. I had to wake up early and work in the shop. If we let Omi down there he'd snack on the nearest shopper when he got hungry. It wouldn't be a good sort of situation. Getting up early wasn't the only thing that sucked. Getting attacked by Omi was the part that REALLY sucked. He jumped on me about three seconds after I hit the bottom of the steps, slammed me into the wall, then the floor and sank his sharp little teeth into my wrist.

I think he picked there to bite because it was the piece of me closest to his fangs. He chomped down and fucking CHEWED on me some. I'm not really sure how long he had me pinned down... It's all a little fuzzy looking back...

Seemed like forever before Aya showed up and got him off me. Thank God for the small mercies.

Once Aya had Omi off me, he did something so fucking shocking. He BIT him. Grabbed him by the hair, wrenched his head to one side, bared his FANGS with a hiss and grabbed the kid's neck in his teeth. and he SHOOK him. and Omi just took it.

Thank God Kenken wasn't around, he would have hurt Aya for chewing on Omi's neck. I would have warned Aya, but this is the part where I blacked out...

Man... You should see how many times I used the word 'Anyways' in the original draft... Scary...
