THE VAMPIRE'S LOVE STORY

THE GHOST OF OSAKA

❌❌❌❌❌

I wasn't always this way, I lived normally, fought peacefully, adapted to every moment laid bare. My name is JP Masaki or at least that was my name until the day I died.
I was under command from my father. Leader of the Samurai Knights. We fought men while he fought...monsters.
I was born in Osaka Japan in a noble manner. Being of age, I was trained by my father in the ways of the samurai. Turns out, it was my destiny to uphold the dying Samurai Spirit as Grandfather had bestowed it upon my father and finally me.
One day in my village we were attacked by men but they were in league with these...monsters. Blood Demons.
My mother...Killed in front of me, my sister ripped apart right in front of me. Thanks to my arrogance and rage, I was spared and given a choice to leave the way of the samurai or the way of the demon.
Only for the men to take our land. Our homes. I had a choice and I took it to the Emperor, he had shamed the Masaki Name and deemed it a useless situation. For years has my father served the Emperor, those years of good faith and servitude all for nothing.
Betrayed, forgotten abandoned. I despised what my country had become and what happened next. I returned to my home killing men and monsters one by one by myself only to find my father had become the very thing he swore to destroy then I had no chance but to destroy him as well.

Wounded and bleeding, I had no choice but to seek counsel from my Grandfather. He told me, to defeat an enemy is to become something that they once feared.
There was a reason why he lived in the mountains by himself. He too had been a monster for a long time, forgotten and abandoned, he offered me something I wanted. Power. Change. My family back but it wouldn't be my family. Just monsters...but I too became one...I became death...I became fire.

I became The Ghost Of Osaka.

JP killed and bled, devoured and slaughtered.
Many of the people he thought were the innocent but it was all a lie.
The screams.
The fires.
The blood.
Like a never ending cycle of death followed grief flooded the city as it burned.
"This is for you...father"
'No...this is for us...and us alone'
"What are you...?"
'I am what you've always wanted...ever desired. Your hunger for chaos. Thirst for blood. I am the ghost. Demon slayer of dread and fear'
"What could you give me?"
'Peace for father...monster and sister. Let me in...and we can show them the world in our own vision'
"How?!"
'Let me show you'
JPs eyes glowed red for the moment as he felt the power of the blood demon flowing inside of him.
"Together we can do anything...no one would know it was us. No one would stop us. We have each other. We are like brothers"
When JP got to the Emperor...he had already committed the honorable act of the samurai. Breaking out of my thoughts, JP realized what he had become. Like his father, he too had become a monster. When his Grandfather arrived to the palace, JP was given a chance to rule at his side.
"You have done well...my son"
Knowing that this was the monster talking and not of his blood JP held his blade out ready for a fight.
"You promised me peace...you promised me change"
"And together we have brought that change for the death of our family. Join us as we rebuild a new Empire"
"No...you'll build all of that through blood?"
"No...through war"
Many vampires gathered around his grandfather circling JP.
"Join us JP"
"Please"
"DONT LISTEN TO HIM...we have each other! We are perfection! We are chaos...but through me together we are the Ghost...we won't let you destroy this world"
JP used his vampire-like powers to shatter the palace.
"FIND HIM!!!"
His Corrupted Grandfather roared as JP was chased by Demons and Vampires for eternity.

JP escaped the Palace and had been hunted down for many generations.
"It's better this way JP"
'Easy for you to say...your used to all of it. The blood the screams...the countless deaths. When this is over you'll kill me as well'
"Through you I live. Through me you survive"
'Survive?'
"We have much to do Bralin...before we seek out our revenge...we must wait for the one"
'Who?'
"Our Equal"
JP leapted towards a high elevation in the mountains and roared as the sky boomed with thunder.

625 YEARS LATER

Now he lives in the mountains overlooking Osaka. Hiding in plain sight and waiting for the chance to avenge his family until one day, a mere human had stumbled into my territory. She wasn't Japanese, she was foreign and beautiful. Unfortunately for the monsters, she'll live to die another day.

JP leapt off tree after tree following the girl being chased by the blood demons. As she got cornered and nearly killed, it was JP that saved her.

Panting, JP flicked the blood off his blade after his 8th kill and sheathed his katana.
"Thank you"
JP didn't speak much but faced the girl.
She spoke English. Perhaps American?
"Who are you?"
JP spoke hiding the monster within him.
"I'm just an explorer...I don't mean any harm"
"What are you doing on this side of the mountains?!"
"Researching...for the legend...or better yet. You"
JP grabbed the girl by her throat. "I merely wanted to see if the legend was true. That you have the ability to do good...no one...believed me!"
She choked.
"Who am I to you?"
"Your JP Masaki"
"Wrong"
"That's your given my name...ok then how about this...the ghost of Osaka?"
JP held her as his Gripped loosened. "You know me..."
"I know that you're not human...I know you didn't want this by choice"
"Save your pity...what's done is done...you should leave...they'll be back soon"
"How do I thank you?"
"By praying I don't come after you... and staying away from this mountain"
"I would rather you do so"
JP was caught off guard by her use of words. "Don't make me go back"
She begged.
She was human and he was a monster. Maybe she was right or perhaps wrong.
"What is your name?"

"Lady Kitteria but you can call me Kitty"
"Bralin but you will refer to me as this...we are GHOST"
He grabbed her and slung her over his back and began to race for the mountain.
'She could never be the one'
"You will see in Time JP"
Ghost landed in his cave with Kitty in shocked by his monstrous nature.
"What are you going to do with me?"
"Keep you safe...you wait here for 5 days and I'll get you food"
"You expect me to stay here by myself?!"
"It's here or be eaten out there anyway"
"Then why happened you killed me yet"
Ghost grabbed her with his fleshy like tentacles and pulled her face to face with JP.
"Because...you are the one"
JP spoke amplified by Ghost and Sierra seemed to misunderstood at first but decided not to say the wrong thing.
Ghosts tongue wrapped slowly around her neck attempting to scare her but she didn't even flinch. She breathed slowly and cleared her throat.
"Okay..."
"Are you not afraid?"
"If you were going to kill me...you would have done it out there. Why didn't you?"
"You'll understand soon. Don't run. I'll just find you again"
"I know"
She said mesmerized by his voice and seriousness. It freaked JP out but he sort of liked it.
'I like her for a human'
JP ran out of the cave in search of food on the clear side of the mountain.
To Kitteria, she wished he hadn't left her alone.
