Let The Night Begin

Chapter Five.



xxxxx



Darkness enclosed me, the sound of soft breathing met my ears as the breath itself ruffled my hair. Large dark, bat-like wings surrounded me, blocking off all sense of sight. I could see the tiny veins criss crossing in the leathery skin like spider veins. There was no heart beat, yet his blood was still flowing through his veins.



If my heart were beating, it would have been racing. However, the absent hear of my heart thudding in my ears was actually more terrifying then the vampire who had his body wrapped around me like a dark, brooding cocoon. Small whimpers of fear escaped my throat as the vampire made cooing noises at me to calm me down. Feeling lightheaded, I struggled in earnest, trying to gain my freedom but unable to do so pissed me off.



Anger felt better then fear. Anger I could deal with, fear was a totally different matter. I gritted my teeth and twisted my body around in his grip. His arms slid off of me like he was covered in butter. I slammed my heel into his breast bone, trying to get him away from me. I thought he would grunt and stumble back a few steps which would give me some more time to run away and hide. Every fiber of my being was screaming at me to escape, and believe me, as soon as I can, I'll listen to each and every single one of them.



What I wasn't expecting, however, was this: One minute I was standing, with my heel digging into his chest, he made a sound like he was gurgling water. The sharp snap of bone met my ears as Inuyasha flew, flew through the air. His back slammed into a stall and he still kept on going. Wood snapped and splintered, cement crumbled, metal snapped and twisted under the force of his body until he was leaning against the far wall, sitting against a snapped bean that threatened to bring the entire left side of the roof of the barn crashing down.



And this wasn't just a plain wooden barn either. Above all the sounds of the breaking materials, I also heard another snap, another snap of bone. I stared in horror, without thought, I started to rush towards Inuyasha, I wanted to see if he was okay but I stopped myself. He was staring up at me with anger and rage, his head was hanging at an odd angle and his chest was sunken and bloody.



My gag reflex made its appearance and I doubled over, my hand over my mouth as I gaged at the carnage I just unleashed. I really was a demon. No human would have the power to actually crush another human's chest with one hand. Nor would he be able to make the person fly through the air like a freaking bullet.



Breathing heavily, the smell of oak and horse shit helped calm me down slightly. With a shaky breath, I looked back up at Inuyasha. My body literally froze in place. His head was back on straight and he looked like he was trying to stand up. The look me was giving me would have made the devil himself piss his pants and run home crying to his mommy. It made me want to wet my drawers myself and run home to my mommy..



With another cry of fear, I took a few steps backwards, twisted around and fled as fast as my new vampiric legs could carry me.



--Inuyasha's Point of View--



Her large eyes, once brown, glowed a bright crimson color. If I thought she was lovely before, now she was breathtaking. But as I watched her flee from me like I was a monster, I knew I had made another mistake. Only this time, however, at least I haven't brought my own family into this. Actually, I had made many mistakes. So many fucking mistakes.



First one was me staying in this area for so long. I knew I should have left once I had laid my eyes on Kagome. Who was almost the spitting image of Midoriko. Sure, there were some differences here and there, but the similarities were so terrifying that I had actually believed that another vampire had brought my mortal lover and betrayer over. That was until I heard Kagome's heart beating. Then I knew she wasn't my dead love, she was human who looked just like her.



Just like last time when I revealed myself to her, Midoriko ran away like I was a monster. Maybe I am a monster. After all, 30 years is a long time to denie yourself the touch of another. But I did that, because I just couldn't bear the thought of seeing myself as a monster through someone else's eyes once more.



As I laid there, I could no longer hear Kagome. She was too far gone and I was still unable to move. The heel of her palm to my chest shattered my breast bone and my neck snapped like a toothpick when I hit one of the cement walls. I wasn't sure which one it was. But I did know one thing. I couldn't let a newly turned vamp threaten the entire vampire population, even if I created her. If she was unable to accept that we existed and that she was one, and accept me as her sire, I had to put her down.



I made the mistake of not killing Midoriko when she fled from me, but I wouldn't make that same mistake twice. Even though my dead heart hurt, I would have to kill Kagome if there was no other choice, I would not allow another vampire holocaust happen on my account. I would stake myself before I let that happen.



I could still see what happened on that night when I was hiding out in the Highgate Cemetery in London. I should have never fled to that cemetery, nor should I have saved that woman's life. But I did and I should have never done that, but hey, there's only so much you can do when you're being chased by a crazed mod wilding torches and pitchforks.



--December 24, 1969--



The night was white and gray. The land was covered in a fresh dusting of large snowflakes. The moon was struggling to break free of the snow clouds that which threatened to drop another large amount of snow on London. Even though the night was quiet, it was alive and the sharp taste of anger and rage was thick.



My breath came out in white puffs as I fled for my life. The yells and hollers behind me were distant, but they were, surprisingly gaining on me fast. But, I wouldn't be able to out run them for long, sharp pains kept on shooting from my side to my head from were an old farmer out in the country stabbed me for preying on his old mule. I attacked the old man, I tore through his body like he was a piece of wet tissue paper.



I was already covered in the old man's blood when I realized what I had done. Unfortunately, I hadn't killed him fast enough because his screams awoken the entire little village. I wasn't even too sure where I was, I only knew I was on the outskirts of London. I knew that the pitchfork had pierced my left lung, but thanks to my vampiric side, it wasn't a fatal blow. The only type of fatal blow that could actually kill me was a knife to the heart or to my head.



My feet left bloody footprints in the snow, an easy trail to follow but I didn't have enough time to turn around and cover my blood trail. The strength in my arms and legs was slowly draining away and it was all I could do to keep myself from going face first into the snow. Even though the angry mod from the small village was far behind me, I could still hear the crackle of their torches.



I was only half vampire, so I was unable to sprout my wings and take to the sky and escape. Instead, I was stuck on foot and I knew that my feet would soon fail me. I pressed my hand into my bleeding side and willed the blood to stop escaping my body, but that was hopeless. I was a fast healer, but it still took a while to stop the bleeding when a major blood vessel was severed.



Two, in fact.



I took a quick inventory around myself and noticed the graves and tombstones. Great, I wondered how in the hell I had made it to the freaking Highgate Cemetery. That's when I smelt something that was different from the maddening rage coming from the mod still chasing me. It was fear. As well as the smell of incenses. I paused and look around me, trying to find out where both scents were coming from.



The sight of the old cemetery at night was eerie, it looked haunted, as if ghouls and vampires alike made this place their home. How very original, I thought with a scoff. The last place I wanted to be caught was in a damned cemetery, but when the mob did catch up to me, I was taking as many as I could down with me. This night may be my last, but it was also going to be the last for the biggest part of that damned mob as well.



If I was up to my full strength then I'd jerk one of the tombs open and hide out with the dead person until the mob dispersed, but I wasn't up to my full strength so I wouldn't be able to do that. That option was out for the count.



I detest both humans and pure-blooded vampires alike. Looking down on half-breeds like myself like we were nothing but pests to them. No one outside of my family knew that I wasn't pure-blooded. Because hunting male half-breeds like myself, was a sport to most of the older vamps. But the girls and women who were half-breeds, they were sold like cattle and used as slaves, usually sex slaves.



I shuddered involuntary, I still remembered that old vampire who came to my father's home that night many years ago. He was in possession of a half-breed. I could smell the fear emitting from the poor girl, I believe her name was Rin. We bought her from the old vampire because my brother Sesshomaru wanted her. It was practically love at first sight, my brother officially became pussy whipped by that little slip of a girl.



He just about changed over night thanks to the young eight year old.



A woman's scream rang in my ears. I heard many screams in my life, but this one cut through me. A young woman's scream of fear and terror. I blinked, suddenly realizing that I had sank to my knees while going through memory lane, I also could hear the panting of the mob. Fuck, they were almost on top of me. With a curse, I forced myself to my feet and I saw a dark figure about ten yards away from me trip and fall. I knew it was the woman who had screamed.



I saw another figure, a much larger one stalking towards her as she frantically tried to crawl away from the man. Stupid girl, I thought angrily, if she had any sense in her head then she'd know better then to roam such a place at night, she deserved the fate that the man was going to wreck on her. I looked behind me and I saw the lights reflecting off of the fires from the torches, the men were getting closer to me. Any minute now, they'd have me.



I jumped to my feet, preparing to flee, but the woman had spotted me.



“Please, help me!” She cried. I froze, when I heard her childlike voice calling out to me to help her in her time of need, it was desperate. I should have ran, I should have left the woman to the mob's rescue, but for some reason, I couldn't make myself flee. I was always fleeing from something in some form or another.



With a ragged curse, I turned back towards the woman and dashed towards the man who was raising a knife over his head. He didn't see me until I was on him. It was an easy victory, the man was already ill and dieing a painful death. He was probably driven to madness by the pain. His eyes were wild and he was nothing more then crazed. It was simple, easy, and clean.



I grabbed both sides of his head and twisted. The sickening snap made me smile, I wasn't sure, but I always loved to slay the ones who were nothing but twisted crazed people intent on hurting others. I looked down at the woman as the man fell, lifeless and limp, to the ground. My breath caught in my chest, I had seen many beautiful women over my lifetime, but something stood out on this one.



Large brown, doe like eyes and dark hair, and pale skin. The coloring was common, but she was not common. I blinked and I reached my hand out, trailing my finger tips along her jaw line. She shuddered and her breath caught in her chest as I caught a new scent over taking her fear: lust.



I felt myself jump to attention at her arousal and I reached down slowly with my other hand and cupped her cheek as I knelt down on the ground in front of her. I held her still as I lowered my face closer to her own, my eyes on her slightly parted lips. Her breath was coming in faster as I touched my lips to hers. I shuddered at the softness of her lips cushioning my much harder ones.



I heard the mod yell out as they caught sight of me, keeling over a maiden on the ground, great, now they probably thought I was going to steal away the woman and ravish her before killing her. I shook my head in disgust before I turned away from the humans and ran.



I didn't make it far, however. The fight, even though it wasn't much of a fight, left me even weaker then before. My foot got caught on an unseen tree root jutting out of the ground and I tripped and landed flat on my face with a mouth full of snow. Spluttering like a fool, I struggled to get to my feet but I was out for the count and the torch wilding mob was gaining on me, they'd have me in a few more moments.



I tried to push myself off of the ground, but I wasn't able to.



Wonderful, isn't this just fucking fantastic? Fuck.



--Present--



I shook myself out of memory lane. With a groan, I forced myself to my feet and stood up and sniffed at the air. Kagome's scent was long gone and I wouldn't have been able to find her due to her scent had faded away. But my blood was still in her veins and it sang to me like a siren and a beacon. I would find her, no doubt about that, but the question was, what would I do with her when I did find her?



I honestly didn't want to find out what I would have to do, but I still needed to fetch her. A thirsty newly born vampire running through the streets full of humans, that in itself is going to be disastrous. I only hoped that I could get to her before she made a meal of some poor innocent fool. I stretched out my sore wings, they took most of the blows from going through several walls. I shook my head and ran towards the open doors that led out into the night. The sun was going to rise soon and Kagome just might decide to take the decision out of my hands by walking out in the sun and going up in smoke.



Hell, if I wasn't careful I just might join her in a smoky fate.



Well damn.

(a/n) Hey, there, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter too. It wasn't as much exciting as the others, but oh well. The next one will be much more exciting and blah blah blah. Thanks for reading and don't forget to review, oh and those of you who are confused, let me explain a bit.



1.) Kagome is now a vampire.



2.)Inuyasha was once a half-breed, but thanks to the group who gang raped Kagome, he is a pure-blooded vampire.



(If that confuses you, like, how the hell is he a pure blood now, when he was a mutt, well. This comes from chapter three I believe.)



“For when a half-vampire/half-human dies, the vampire's blood running through their veins takes over the body, destroying the human part and the person is reborn into his undead life and a full fledged vampire. His mind and personality stays the same, but his biology is completely different.”



3.) Inuyasha's mom is human, his dad is a vampire, Sesshomaru has a vampire mom so the two of them are half siblings.



4.)In other words, when a half breed dies, he becomes a pure blooded vamp because the vamp side of the half breed eats the human side. Some go crazy because of this, while others remain exactly the same, with a couple of more things, thirst for blood, bat wings, etc.



5.) I still haven't decided where this is actually taking place, town, country, continent, etc. But I still like the way its going.



I hope that helps
