Yukinae occasionally stumbled across tree trunks and roots, either giving her concussions or simply making her fall. After two whole days of wondering through the woods, she was at last at the exit of the forest.

"I'm... finally here... I'm out," she weakly said.

Concerned about her host, Celest asked, "Yukinae, are you feeling well?"

Yukinae gave a slight nod and gulped, "Yeah... I'm fine," sweat slowly began pouring down her face as she took hold of a tree to maintain balance.

"Yukinae?" Celest called.

"Yes?" she answered.

"Give me control."

"Why-" before she finished her question she fell once more and slowly picked herself off the floor, "Should I?"

"Would you quit complaining and just do as I say!" Celest replied.

Yukinae swallowed bitterly as she gave her body over to Celest. The purple amulet around her neck glowed as Yukinae's purple eyes went over to a lighter colour.

As soon as Celest was completely submerged into Yukinae's body, she took hold of her stomach, "You need food... and quick," she said while struggling to maintain balance.

"Something, something, something, something, gotta find something," she said while scouting the area.

A shadow appeared over head, causing her to look up. Staring up into the sky, she noticed that the source of said shadow was an eagle passing by. She licked her lips hungrily and said in a soft, satisfying tone, "Bingo."

Before the eagle got distant, she stared at it and whispered words in an ancient language, causing the eagle to swoop down before her and transform into a pile of freshly cooked meat.


The brief case was heavily swung as a tall, slim, yet muscular, neatly dressed man walked through the clean and empty metallic halls. He wore a devilish smirk on his face as he pushed up his glasses with his middle finger.

He sat in the chair beside a poorly dressed, muscular, bald man who seemed to be nervous because he was fiddling around with his thumbs.

The bald man stood up out of his chair and made his way over to the clerk.

"How much longer?" he asked.

"Excuse me?" she asked in return.

"How much longer do I have to stay in this damn place?!" he asked, slamming his hand down on the table.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience sir, but could you kindly wait just a little bit longer?" she asked.

He draped her collar and pulled her towards him, "Look, I have kids to get home to and a wife to bust out of jail, i need to see these people now!"

The clerk nervously said, "Y-yes sir."

As he put her down she quickly pressed a red button under her desk, causing guards to rush into the room and escort him out of the premises.

The man with the brief case let off a soft chuckle, "Some people just don't know how to behave."

"Itami... Shouji Itami, please report to the front desk," said the lady speaking over the loud speaker.

The man got up and fixed his tie with one hand as he used the other to brush his silk, brown hair back to his ears.

With a huge grin on his face, he took up his briefcase and made his way to the front desk, where he was given instructions on how to get to the conference room. He made his way to the area he was directed to and stood before the door whispering to himself, "Don't you worry Shouji, you can do this," he pushed up his glasses, "This will be way too easy."

He pushed open the door, letting out all the light that was sealed inside as he slipped in and shut the door behind him.

"Nice to see you Mr. Itami," said the dark skinned man sitting in the middle of the room.

That man was surrounded by six other personnel, who were sitting around him in a semi circle, "Please show us you presentation," he said.

Shouji placed his briefcase on the table before him, "I'm Shouji Itami from Kante City, and I came here to suggest the formation of a Vampire Countermeasures Council."

"Why would we need that? Elqiou City is already at peace with the vampires," said one of the personnel.

"You see, that's where you're wrong, there can truly be no peace between vampires and humans, they just can't be trusted.. at any given time," Shouji wore a serious and confident look on his face as he said so, causing all personnel in the room to begin chatter.

The dark skinned man slapped his hands on the table before him, "Everybody shut up! I want to hear Mr. Itami's presentation," he turned towards Shouji, "Continue young man."

Shouji wore a smirk on his face at that moment, "Thank you sir, you won't regret it."

Early in the morning Ryuga made his way back to where camp was set up. Everyone was awake, except for Ameria, s he went to the area where she slept and gently poked her cheek.

She twisted as she gently awoke with a smile on her face, "Good Morning!" she yelled.

"Good morning," Ryuga replied smiling.

She leapt onto him, wrapping her arms around his neck as she pulled him in for a warm, loving kiss.

"I missed you," she whispered.

"I missed you too," Ryuga said, while stroking her gentle, light blue hair.

Marco stood, dazed while  carrying supplies, "Isn't that wrong? You know, seeing that you two were raised together?"

Mikami pushed him away, "Its rude to stare, especially when people are having their privat moments" Mikami looked over to Lyn who was far behind her, "Ain't that right Lyn?" she said with a blush and a finger on her lips.

Lyn quickly looked away, "I can't recall doing anything of that sort with you."

Stell, who was at the front of the bunch looked at Ryuga and Ameria, then to Marco, "I suppose its okay, since they aren't blood related," she said.

Marco sighed, "Why am I still with you guys?"


As day lit up, Ryuga called for every member of his 'crew' to be around the extinguished camp fire.

"People... Let's officially move out into the city today... I have a good feeling we'll finally find who I'm looking for," he said.

"And what makes you think that you'll find him today?" Marco asked.

"Just trust me," he replied.

When Ryuga said that, Marco whispered into Stell's ear, "I don't trust him."

As soon as Marco said that, a shoe made contact with his face, "Shut up Marco!" Ryuga yelled.


"So why Elqiou City out of all places Mr. Itami?" the dark skinned man asked.

Shouji took his laptop out of his bag and tapped the space bar. A picture came out showing six people on the screen, these people were, Ryuga, Ameria, Stell, Marco,  Mikami and Lyn.

"These six devastated Kante City two years ago, and just a month ago, I spotted them right on the outskirts of this city, so I took a guess that they were gonna take a visit... These... vampires, that call themselves The Fallen Moon, we need to stop them... I need to stop them, no matter what!"
