"Nobody knows how long vampires have been around, we don't know where they originated, how they became. Only that they roam this very country—this very earth! You may have met one before without even realizing. But that could equally be highly unlikely because there's a reason we're forced to be apart. Vampires are cruel and they only take and want. They kill to become stronger, to become the strongest. That's how they choose their leaders; who rises in the ranks. They're different, unlike us. And we must separate ourselves from them, lest we become their prey! They may choose to make us one of them—and near to always it's without our consent. So as mysterious and hidden as they might seem now, they're dangerous and we want to always steer clear from them," came the hushed and dramatic voice of the Tsugikuni twins' mother. She gave them a playful grin, holding her hands up and curling her fingers as if to attack.

Yoriichi gazed up at her with a mixture of fear and awe. No doubt he was silently taking in every word, engraining them in his mind as if he hadn't heard the tale many times before. And that's all it was. A story.

Michikatsu rolled his eyes at the theatrics, leaning back against the pillows of his futon. "We all know it's fake, mom!" he said, giving Yoriichi's wounded expression an exhausted sigh. "You can stop pretending, we're older now!"

His mother only smiled, ruffling his hair as she kissed his forehead. She pulled him and Yoriichi into a hug. "Goodnight," she told them. "Don't let the—"

"Vampires bite!" Yoriichi chimed in.

"Vampires aren't real!" Michikatsu hissed. "Bed bugs are the real problem here."

Yoriichi huffed but only clambered into his own futon. Their mother stood, making sure they were tucked in before she turned off the light.

"I love you both," she said, closing the door behind her. Her footsteps padded away quietly until they heard the sound of a slide door opening and closing as she entered her bedroom. Then they both sat up, eyes adjusting to the darkness.

"They are real! Mother says so," Yoriichi whispered before Michikatsu could say otherwise.

"Are not! They're clearly made up. Have you ever heard someone say, 'oh, my sister turned into a vampire yesterday?'" Michikatsu shot back, his voice rising before he could stop himself.

They both froze, staring at the door. When nobody came, they continued their argument.

"It's not like everybody knows about them," Yoriichi said. "They're not that common knowledge..."

"Yeah, because they're not real." Michikatsu crossed his arms.

"They are!"

"Tell me that after you've caught one and bring back its head or whatever." Michikatsu huffed, laying back down and tugging his blanket up.

"I will!" Yoriichi's voice came out quiet, muffled by his pillow as he buried into the sheets, indignant from all Michikatsu's insistence. That was fine. He was the younger of the two, still caught up in these fantasies. Michikatsu was sure that he'd grow out of them eventually. He'd love to see Yoriichi admit to him that he was wrong. Mostly because he was usually right—but this time, Michikatsu knew as a fact he was wrong.

He smiled contently to himself, closing his eyes. It was only a matter of time until reality sunk in.
