Now I know some grammar mistakes or such have been presented here, but it’s the style of the writers and I’m not going to change it for fear of changing the whole style. I’m only responsible for my own POVs that I know that even I make some mistakes. Oh and there is a new character introduced in this chapter, a fellow Samurai, see how you like him ;

Chapter 5.

POV: Kero

As I left the battle damaged street, and had talked to the two girls, I wondered if our paths would cross again, the light blue rain had dissipated and calm and quietness filled the air, I could feel it, cause it was morning already, and the sun began to shine upon the city, the beginning of a new day, a different world, just as opposite as the night world. I saw the Dionisus sign, and the building by itself was pretty impressive, I looked around and started to walk to the double automatic slide doors entrance, went in and headed for the desk. "Welcome to Hotel Dionisus" said a young woman, obviously the receptioninst who was standing behind the big desk, "yes, I would like to reserve a room for one only, middle-class type, please". Recep: "Here you go, room 105, to your left after you leave the elevator, the first 4 floors are the entertainment areas, divided between pool and family area, massage parlor and spa area, Gym area, Game room, and Music Stage & Bar area. please enjoy your stay and thank you for staying with us"

As I headed for the elevator, looked around, seeing the huge lounge area, it had a walking garden in the middle, with fountain, comfy looking sofas in different places, and a medium sized cafeteria, where there were a couple of ppl drinking coffee and watching the news. I quickly noticed that they were showing and talking about the huge crater that was found were a nightclub once stood, and that authorities were baffled as they couldnt explain what caused this explosion or such a big crater, eye witnesses say they saw a big flashing blue light coming from the direction, but at the time not many ppl were close to that area to see anything else. its must of been more of those freaks from the dark parts of the city, vampires and them sorts.... those things will end up killing us all I tell ya said a man who was sitting next to the tv. "feh, like always they cant see or explain what goes around them, and then act like the world is only theres...sigh...". I ignored him and got in the elevator, and as it reached the floor where I was staying, I just started to feel like laying on the bed for a while, even though I knew the battle had been aggresive, but I wasnt tired or wounded, cause my healing factor had kicked in from the start, so it was nothing like had happened. I exited the elevator, found the door to my room and entered. It was obviously for one person, and I had asked for a middle class style room, so it was nice and comfy looking. It had satellite tv, the bathroom was big and there was also a table with two chairs, a walking closet, and a furniture to put clothes and stuff in. I always carried with me the things I neede, or better say, everything I used was a part of me, so I didnt actually have a backpack with me if it wasnt neccesary. Slowly my cloak began to put itself away, looking like water was dissapearing up and into my chest and shoulder area. My cloak and I are connected in both mind and body, so it usually covers me or hides by instinct or just by thought. Thing is that my whole armor, which I used in my past and it only appeared when I had to use my all true and summon strength, which came from the ppl who trained and showed me what I know and am now.....

I took off all of my clothes and boots and put them on top of the bed, opened the drawer and found pants, shirts, underwear and socks, and very comfy looking to add (wow this hotel has it all). I took them with me to the bathroom, put them beside the towels which were on top of the sink, opened the valve of the shower, and after it felt cool enough, got in and bathed. I think I was there like for an hour and a half, I just love showering in cold water, never enjoyed hot water that much, after I got out of the shower, dried and put on the clothes i had found, i went and grabbed all the clothes that were on top of the bed and put them inside a bag I had found, Id take it later downstairs to get it cleaned, im just glad that my clothes are made to be as durable and special as its wearer, cause if it was like the clothes worn by ppl this days, id go broke. I put the bag next to the table, and jumped on the bed. which made me feel so comfortable and nice. I stared at the ceiling, begining to go back and reflect and analyze what had transpired last night, the battle, all the darkness that had surrounded us, the club, the two girls...."sigh"....the two girls, I hope they were okay, and that nothing happened after I left, cause I feel like that wasnt the last of crazyness this city had stored, and there was a disturbance in the air, something just didnt seem right, but weirdest is that its not the first time ive felt something like it......As I continued dazing off, I felt something cuddling my hand, it was Strider, my pet companion and friend, hes been with me since the begining, and weve been through a lot, but always worked together. Like the cloak, he was part of me, we were bonded to each other, and he appeared when i summoned him or he just wanted to be around. He was one of its kind, to the human eye he looked like a misty gray wolf with blue eyes but the size of a fox, very cute and huggable, but that was his dormant state, which he prefered to show more, cause like me, he didnt like to fight or show his power without it bieng as a last resort or need, piss him off and when in battle he becomes a big fiery and powerful force to be messed with, and then he stops being cute.

"hey buddy, thought you were sleeping boy....... look, im sorry I left you out of the fight, but I had it under control, and ok I admit it got worse, but you know what happened and I didnt want you also creating a more serious matter than the one I just made, so let it go". He loked at me with a "its ok" face, and he jumped and rested on my chest, snuggling in a curl, dozzing off. I sighed as I just let myself drift into sleep, it ahd been a long night and well a little sleep during the morning would be ok, id just go around the city to look at the afternoon......

yaaawn who is.... the girl....of red....streaks...zzzzzz

I woke up at the beeping sound of my PCU....it was already 1:00 pm, I had drifted off....maybe i had been more tired than I thought, cause it really had been a looong time since I had fought like that. Strider was still on my chest, I called his name and he opened his eyes fast, looking at me happy, "well buddy, time to look around and see what we can find here, just hope trouble doesnt find me again....". I grabbed the bag, strider jumped on my shoulder, comfortably snuggled close to my neck, closed the door behind me, and headed to the elevator. In the elevator was a girl in uniform, probably worked here, and as I entered the elevator saying hi, she glanced at me and just keeped looking a couple of times and blushing at the same time, sigh...i just hope it wasnt what I thought she was thinking. I exited the elevator and went and asked for directions to the washing machines were, went to where I was told, grabbed the first machine i saw and stuffed the clothes inside, putting some detergent and starting the machine. After it was done, I went to a bathroom that was by and changed inside, leaving the clothes that I had worn in the bag and giving it to a staff member from the hotel (the clothes belong to the hotel so I cant go and leave with it), I felt relieved and more "me" with my black boots, pants, and shirt, the cloak shifted out and changed form into a black vest.

As we walked outside, looking around at the buildings and "day life" that occured in this city, I passed an apartment section of the block where I was, which had about 3 or 4 streets of apartments. I keeped walking in the pavement road which lead through the whole complex and ended in an exit towards the next part of the city where I had been told was the mall, which I wanted to see cause I enjoyed walking in the malls and looking at my fav stores,preferably good bookstores, even though I tended not to buy stuff that I knew I couldnt take with me on my travels, I just did it for learning and bieng on touch with the changing world around me. But as I passed an entrance to one of the apartments, I felt as if something familiar was around, no, make that two presences, one was faint......very faint.....the other one was close also, but it wasnt a strong feeling, but it was felt none the less. I stopped and loked at the direction of the feeling, which pointed towards the apartments which I was infront of, Strider moved his head at the direction also, and looked at me like the same way I was feeling, something wasnt right, " this is weird, but what was it? " .......

" Okay, lets go this way and see if theres anything that we might find, and look for that faint presence....I just hope it aint more bad news " I said as we walked up the stairs heading towars the apartment complex, hoping to find out what the disturbance was.......

POV: Jen

I had woken up a little sleepy, but had no choice since Alanis was awake. "Maaaaaaaaaa. I wan kumana"she said. I looked at her and grinned, giving her what she wanted which was a little pillow mom had sowed just for her. I don't know why she called it kumana, but it was too cute for me to teach her other wise. I had her dressed in a strawberry color little buttoned blouse that was puffy in the arms and some blue cute jeans and strawberry sneakers to go with the blouse. I put her hair in a ponytail which made her look even cuter. I had a pink shirt with a strawberry shortcake drawing and some black jeans. I was a kid at heart still I guess, even if I was a kid. "Maaaaaaaaaaa... Pokeynon, Pokeynon"she said. I sighed. "Honey we're going to go to Izzy's soon, I'm almost finished with breakfast"I said as the pancakes began to cook.

"Izzy! Izzy! Bu maaaaaaaaa, wan pokeynon!"she said. I sighed and walked to the living room shushing her and turning on the TV. I looked around for the movie and put it inside the video cassette. It was the first pokemon movie and she loved it. I smiled as she repeated the words of Pikachu and others. I finished serving the pancakes and left some oatmeal for mom if she ever woke up. I had Alanis eat and tried to help her as I did so. Once we finished eating and I finally convinced her to see the movie some other time we left. I had one of those family cars I didn't like very much, but oh well. I sat her on the carseat and put on some pokemon music... the things I had to stand for this little pipsqueak, but hey she's my little pipsqueak. I drove to Izzy's apartment and parked in a free parking spot. I let Alanis walk as I carried the baby bag. I sighed having to wait for her to walk up every step slowly. I reached Izzy's apartment and knocked... no one there. I looked back and thought to myself... maybe... I pulled Alanis and knocked on what I hoped was Sryenn's door. "Sryenn? It's me, Jen"I said not including the little bundle of joy that was besides me.

My ears tilted to the sound of my door being knocked on. Who could it be at this hour...? Slowly made my way over to the door as I started to hear voices...like a child's voice...wait a minute...Izzy mentioned something about Jen having a kid...then that must mean...I looked through the peep hole and there in the hallway stood a young woman and a a small child. I somehow knew that she smelled right...in the sense of personality. I opened the door with a greating smile "Hi...! You must be Jen...I'm Sryenn..." suddenly I noticed that I left my cap in the living room which made my eyes grow wide as I then heard the child say while pointing at me "Kitty! Kitty!" and a smile on her face. "Eeeeeer heh heh" what could I do now...? She must think that I was one of those...monsters that ran around the city "I-It's not what you think, really!" my voice changing into an annoying one as I started outPOV: Jen

I looked at Sryenn... well, a lot of things can happen over night, a whole lot of things. I looked at my daughter who was jumping frantically to touch Sryenn's ears. I smiled. "wow, Sryenn... I have to say, you look cute"I said with a grin. "Can I come in?"I asked, he let me in blushing. Then I noticed Izzy on the sofa, she didn't look good. I kneeled on the floor next to where she lay and touched her forehead. "Was she fighting?"I asked, Sryenn let me know he didn't know, he was a little busy trying to fend off my daughter who seemed to have developed a complete obsession with him. "Izzy... Izzy can you hear me? Izzy"I said. I grabbed my bag and looked through it... I knew I had some smelling salts somewhere, they were a sort of mystical herbs, strong enough to wake up anyone from a : Isidora

I was dreaming. It was a deserted land and I was standing on top of a hill. The ocean was strange, it was a weird blue and alien blue and the sky was gray, sad and afraid. There was no sun, no moon, the night or whatever it was... was alone. I stood there wearing a black dress with a long neck V shape and wide long sleeves. I had no make up, nothing, just the dress and my hair being moved freely by the wind. Was this what my mind was full of? Was this a dream? or was this what was inside my mind, inside my heart? Suddenly the earth began to crumble, I turned around. I was alone... alone... The earth below me shattered like glass and I fell in the water. The water was strange, it didn't feel like water. I touched my hair, it felt dry. I floated, even inside the water, I felt like I was floating. I opened my eyes, seeing a war, the old known war between angels and succubi. Then I saw something strange. The war, it became only between two people... They were both me. My humanity was floating away in this strange water while my succubus and angel form were fighting. I've never seen my angel form before. It was beautiful.

My black hair had turned white, but still keeping my red bangs the same. My eyes were ice blue. My cheeks had a wavy blue marking and my forehead had a saphire diamond on it. I wore a small dress, more like a bathing suit, blue, almost see through, but I had silver steel covering my legs and arms. My wings... I had wings... They were red and white, looked strange at first, but it's beauty resonated. The tattoos I had as a succubus existed in my angel form, but blue, such a brilliant blue. Tears escaped my humans eyes making the water for some reason turn to glass and take me to the surface. I stood on my knees as I saw my two forms in front of me, both smiling at me, yet glaring at each other. They both kneeled down in front of me and touched my cheeks cleaning my tears away. My succubus form closed her eyes and a red glow appeared around her as I felt her inside my soul once again. But my angel form was still in front of me, a face of sadness now.

"Embrace me... do not fear me"she said. "I can't... I'm... I'm no angel, I'm no good"I said. "You are an angel, but no, you're not good. You're better"she said making me touch her heart. It had a strange beat, but had a beat. "Unlike angels, you have the power to accept what they refuse to accept. You have a soul... and you are free. Embrace me... I might be your only chance to survive"she said. I looked down as tears touched the crystal solid water. "Im afraid... If I turn into an angel, will they come for me? Will I hurt others?"I asked. "Never, you will never do anything that you don't choose to do... if they come for you... you will be ready and you won't be alone, I promise"she said. She pulled me to her chest, she felt cold and warm at the same time. Then I landed on the crystal floor, she was gone... she was part of my soul now.

Suddenly there was a smell in the wind... was that... smelling salts? Suddenly I awoke from the dream with a gasp, I looked around me seeing Jen, Sryenn and Alanis who broke the silence by yelling Izzy. I got a hold of my forehead. Light headache. "You had us worried, Izzy, what happened?"asked Jen. "Long story... can I have aspirin first? It hurts"I said. "Ok, I think I have some advil with me"she said looking through her bag and taking out a juice from her bag, probably from Alanis. I drank it. "Summery, some kid was following me, somehow she got into my brain and messed me up... but I think... I think she did me a favor at the same time. I don't know how to explain it, but I think I got in touch of my angel side..."I said in somewhat of a whisper.

POV: Sryenn

I looked at Izzy in a worried look as my ears were down in a sad kind of way. I didn't know what happened to her...I wanted to know but I was afraid to face the truth but suddenly felt a tug on my pant making me look down. It was Jen's little girl, Alanis, who was tugging with a smile on her face as she said: "Kitty! kitty!" over and over again making a smile brake free from my face. I slowly bend down beside her as she walked a little closer to me. I carefully picked her up as she played with my ears, though I don't know why it was very comforting. Some kids would just start to pull at cats ears and pull their tails but her soft little hands were some what soothing. I started to chuckle as she started to tickle them making her smile and say again "Kitty! kitty!". Jen and Izzy just looked at me in a kind of "awww" kind of way but the signs came more from Jen than from Izzy making me some what blush and turn with her away in my arms. Alanis kept on playing with my ears as I held her up, but the only thing that I could do would be chuckle at her touch. I looked over to Jen and handed her the girl but just as I was going to give her to Jen she clinged onto my shirt not trying to let me go. I looked at Jen not knowing what to do at this point. "Come on, Alanis, honey..." Jen softly said trying to make Alanis let go of my shirt but Alanis wouldn't budge. She just held on tight as tight as she could, I smiled and took her in my arms again as she gave me a hug once she noticed that I took her back "I guess she likes you, Sryenn" Jen said with a smile "Heh...I guess so..." I made Alanis look at me by lifting her up a little more, I smiled as her cute little face came up to my eye level "Do you like me, Alanis?" I asked with a big smile while my ears tilted up and down "Me wike kitty!" she said as she then quickly hugged me yet once again making me chuckle. I then started to go around and around as if playing with her making her giggle a while then I stopped, I didn't want her to get dizzy.

I then sat down on the floor and after I did I put down Alanis right beside me though that wasn't going to stop her from getting to my ears. I smiled again as she climbed on my legs to reach further up to my ears while I softly laughed. Maybe Alanis would be the one who I could protect other than my friends, but I needed them...so that would mean that I should protect her because somehow I knew that Alanis needed me. I smiled again and wrapped my arms around her little body carefully and gave her a soft embrace that I knew that only her would understand

I smiled. Alanis liked people a lot, but she seemed to have a specific liking to Sryenn and I couldn't blame her. He did look adorable in that new look, but how was he planning to go out in public? "Hey, where's my car?"asked Izzy only to receive a nervous answer from Sryenn that was receiving a tackle hug from my daughter. "Come on, I'll take you to look for it, you have your keys?"I asked, she nodded. I nodded for her to come on and offered her a hand in case she couldn't stand on her own. I didn't know if it was stubborness or if she indeed could, but she stood on her own. "All she needs is in the bag, she just ate so she shouldn't be hungry for long and she has diapers in the bag... Im sorry, I hope you dont mind watching her for a while"I said giving him my best smile. I just didn't like Alanis around when I knew I was going to discuss business... Sryenn nodded that it was ok and we left.

POV: Isidora

I told everything to Jen on the way to my car, mainly explained the dream and about the girl. "She could be a telepathic"said Jen parking her car behind mine and sitting on the hood. "Probably, but it was different... She got in touch with my angel side, for a reason I felt it almost come out, I felt it just turn on inside of me. It's weird, I only turn into a Succubus when I get pissed and sometimes I have to think of something to get me pissed to be able to turn, but that girl... she just touched me and I felt something from her that made me want to cry"I said sitting on the hood of the car next to her. People passed us by, thinking us weird, but that was normal in this city. "When was the last time you cried?"asked Jen. I was surprised by this question... "God, I hardly remember. I used to cry a lot when I was little, I remember my mom calling my nana to shut me up and she made me drink a tea every time I had some sort of temper tantrum and I'd be calm for a long while, you'd think I was high too... Then when Leon died..."I said. "Leon?"she asked. "Yeah, my first, you know, the first man whoever touched me. I killed him though. Apparently since my Succubus side had never been used it took that as an opportunity and sucked his life force dry"I said.

"Last time I cried was when my dad died, getting his powers wasn't a holiday for him, cause I also got his emotions and memories... well, some I can see"she said. "Well, I should buy something for dinner, Sryenn must be hungry. What do demon cats like?"I asked jokingly. "I'd say fish, but it may cause odd things to happen... How about some chinesse food? I don't think cats would mind that"she said. I chuckled. "I want to go to the hill"I said. "Do you think it's safe?"asked Jen. I laughed. "Oh don't worry, most demons don't like me, we Succubi aren't liked on Earth, come on, follow my car"I said getting off the hood of hers and into my car. I drove to a little hill in the city, a nice spot to see the city lights at night, if only it wasn't the home of werewolves and vampires. Good hiding place since mainly the whole place was a graveyard, plus forest. Jen put on the radio since her sound system was better than mine and put on some piano music and looked at me in a curious way.

"What?"I asked. "Nothing, just wondering whats the story behind the Succubi"she said. "I'll tell if you'll tell"I said. "Fine"she said jumping on the hood of my car, I looked at her with a life threatening stare if she dared to make a dent in my beautiful car. "Well, I'll tell it how my grandma told me...

When the Almighty created the first, solitary man, He said: It is not good for man to be alone. And He fashioned for man a woman from the earth, like him (Adam), and called her Lilith. Soon, they began to quarrel with each other. She said to him: I will not lie underneath, and he said: I will not lie underneath but above, for you are meant to lie underneath and I to lie above. She said to him: We are both equal, because we are both created from the earth. But they did not listen to each other. When Lilith saw this, she pronounced God's avowed name and flew into the air. Adam stood in prayer before his Creator and said: Lord of the World! The woman you have given me has gone away from me. When the Lord heard these words his angels already had gone after Lilith ready to punish her, but God stopped them. Lilith being God's creation had free will and angels could not harm her. Towards this they grew angry and God had to give her a home in Hell as the bride of Lucifer and take away Adams free will along with the next creature he made, Eve... what good did that do? Angels grew more angry as mortals started to infect the world with diferent races. Their free will, they're choice to choose what they want made curses, spells, demons, werewolves and the succubi/incubbi, the first demon race to walk the earth. Angels had secret battles with them, no one winning and no one losing

I stopped for a moment, hearing my nana's words as I narrated each bit of the story. Kind of hard to believe at that time... I had so many firm beliefs, but after that happened I became like my nana. Never have beliefs, only ideas. "So what happened to your parents? Were they like romeo and Juliet?"asked Jen. I smiled. "No, my father never loved my mother. She seduced him, being the best Sucubbus in Hell, it was like a mission"I said. "And then she fell in love with him?"asked Jen. I looked at her annoyed for a moment. "Not everything has to be a damn fairy tale. No she didn't fall in love with him, and neither him with me, but unfortunately she got pregnant and she didn't want to get rid of me. Now thats something neither side wanted to allow so my dad and mom went their separate ways to keep me safe, dad on the inside and mom on the outside"I said bringing my knees to my chin. "So... have you ever met your father?"asked Jen. "No... never. Although mom says I look exactly like him... except my red bangs, that I got from mom and my figure"I said. "Wait a minute, I thought your bangs were you know, colored or something"said Jen. "Good, that's what I want you to believe, but tell me, do you see any black roots? Nope, it's natural, weird, but natural"I said with a smile. She grinned. I hit her lightly with my elbow telling her it was her : Jen

I smiled and sighed. Story of the slayers... "Well, no one ever told me anything unlike you... All I know is that the slayer lineage used to be bigger, but for each family there was only one family member was allowed to be a slayer, so if the slayer wasn't killed he'd be killed by a family member so someone younger could take his place. I don't know our exact origin, but I do know that soon vampires began to realize that our blood was poison once they became infatuated with drinking our blood it became a downfall for them. Then came the seers and told them that our blood mixed with angel tears would be the cure to any curse, the werewolf curse, vampire, anything you were, it would make you human again. Vampires captured us trying to use us, but angels didn't exactly come down on holiday, so they killed most of us for fun. I think there are families thrown around, but not that many to count... So that's basically it, from all the weird dreams and images I've been able to decipher"I said as I laid back on the hood of the car. "So the reason you keep fighting is to keep your daughter away from that fate, right?"asked Izzy. I sighed. "Not really, I'd rather she'd be a slayer than just human these times... but all in it's due time. At first I didn't care about slaying, until one night..."I said. "What night? Since we're doing confessions, might as well do it all"she said with a sarcastic smile. I let out a deep breath and looked at the blue light sky.

"A vampire got pissed because his partner tried to drink my blood, of course he died, so the vampire decided to get even by giving my blood to a mortal. My mom. The blood doesn't work as fast or as bad on humans as it does on demons... I've taken her to the hospital, but they can't find anything wrong with her so I just took her out of the hospital. It's an unidentified virus for them, I'm the unidentified virus. I'm the reason why my mom is going to die and I don't know how I'm going to take care of Alanis if that happens, it's not like I can depend on her bastard father and don't ask me where he is, cause I don't know, don't care"I said. "I'm sorry, Jen... well, Alanis likes me, she likes Sryenn too, we can all help out"said Izzy. "You know it's funny. When I met you I knew you were a demon, but at the same time I knew you weren't all bad. When we became friends I never expected you telling me what you were or vice versa. And now, it's like we're ready to write each other's wills to each other..."I said closing my eyes to the light of the sun. "Sometimes... sometimes we just don't want to be alone, and say everything we can to empty our glass of water so to speak... Which reminds me, dinner, Sryenn, present"said Izzy. "Present?"asked Jen. "Yeah, I bought Izzy a present, it's the first thing I ever had when I became a demon and it helped me a lot on how to deal with it"said Izzy.

"What is it?"I asked. "A journal, diary, whatever you want to call it. He just writes everything down, the thoughts, feelings, changes then reads them after a while. It helps"said Izzy getting off the hood. "Yeah, well, let's go, I'll wait for you in front of the building while you buy the things"I said, Izzy nodded. Izzy didn't take long buying food and we were there in time for dinner, it was 3 hours from lunch already so we couldn't count it as lunch, of course my daughter was a little hungry but she didn't eat much. Izzy left the present gift wrapped for Sryenn to open and I just waited to see how he responded to it.

POV: Sryenn

I was playing with Alanis with some toys that I found when I was a kid when suddenly I felt a pressence by the window but it was sudden which then I payed no heed. I kept on playing with Alanis with the little plush puppy that was right next to her. She laughed but then she yawned out as her little eyes started to slowly close. I pulled her to my lap as she layed down and slowly fell asleep making me smile at her; I softly passed my hand by her hair while she slept. I then took her in my arms and layed her down on the couch and went over to look for a clean sheet. I found a clean sheet in the hallway closet and took it out and walked back to where the girl that I was taking care of was sleeping. I carefully placed the sheets over her trying to keep her warm. I smiled while looking at her sleeping face, I walked over to the room that was near the living room and went in, I walked over to the little table that was there and opened the little drawer that was there and took out a picture. It was of my parents...they looked so happy, I smiled at the way that they stood there with a happy smile on their faces though slowly made tears come to my eyes.

I placed the picture back where it was and wiped my tears away. They're gone now...I knew that it wouldn't help to cry. I was very sure that they would come back...but that was just a child's belief that someday he would see his dead loved ones somewhere...I shook my head and walked back to Alanis was and yet again picked her up but instead of placing her back where she was, I layed down on the couch and held her in my arms. I then noticed that she clenched her little hands on my shirt while she slept, I smiled and just held her close to me. I closed my eyes and slowly I drifted to sleep myself...though somehow I quickly started to dream...dream of past things...prestent and I think that even future...but in every single thought I always saw a jaguar standing alone in the vasp darkness of where I stood right now...so beautiful and graceful...I just stared at it as it stared back at me though I knew that it wasnt any ordinary jaguar...somehow I knew...

"You are Sryenn Rynuk, are you not?"
My eyes opened wide...did he...just talk to me? was the only thing that I thought
"Yes I am talking to you, Sryenn"
"Can...can you read my mind?"
"I can..."
"What do you want?"
"I want to know..."
"Know what...?"
"What is it that you wish?"
"What I want...?"
"Yes...what is your true desire...? What is it that you strive for?"
"I...what I want...what I want is..." I clenched my fists "I want to become stronger! I want to serve the friends that are around me with the power that I now have!
"Then let me awaken the sleeping power that you have inside of your heart...Sryenn Rynuk"

My eyes shot open letting me see the ceiling that was above me. I looked down and Alanis was still sleeping on my chest, I looked back up "What was that dream about...?" Suddenly the door bell rang. I stood up while holding the sleeping girl and walked over to the door carefully not wanting to wake her up. I opened the door and smiled when I saw that it was Jen and Izzy "Back so soon...?" I looked down at Alanis with the same smile "We were playing and I guess I wore her out" I smiled back at them while stepping aside so that they could come in "Come on in" They walked inside and I shut the door behind me but then I noticed something, something weird about me again "Oh no..." Jen and Izzy looked back at me. I turned my back and I stared at what it seemed to be a long...black...tail... "Greeeeeeaaat...just great! I'm a walking furr ball now!" Alanis woke up whimpering "whoops"

POV: Alisdera

I woke with panic. The dreams again. They always scared me, even if they were memories that touched my cold heart. I really didnt enjoy them much, but they were the only memory of affection that I ever had.

I rose from my place and went to shower(Bad habit of mine). I felt like wearing something different today. I went yo my dresser, and looked for my old yet, modfied dresses. They were like the medieval dresses, only a little bit modern. I took the red and black one(My fav. Colors). It was long, it touched the floor, but at least covered my feet like I liked it. It was very open in the chest. It just stoped when it was getting close to the nipple. But it kind of pressed my breast a little, that it looked at if it was going overboard.

After I was done dressing, I decided to visit my mortal friends Nelia and Artes. I did not visit them in the past few nights. Since I was a vampire, they were very in love with me, but it was true. I could read it in their hearts. Nelia was a 21 year old girl. She was thrown out by her parents, because they didnt like how she had turned out to be. She was only a simple girl with different tastes. She was your regular outcast with her own friends, listened to rock, and liked to have fun. She had her times with alcohol and such, but never did anything wrong. she actually didnt care less if her parents liked her or not, she never had a good relationship with them.

Artes was your typical 19 year old. Nothimg much, but he was somewhat special. He had phychic powers. He seemed to be so happy when he met me cause he thought himself a freak. He never wanted to be with anyone else, but me. I liked their company, they actually caught my eye. Thats why they were actually all i had, until they would die.

POV: Ken-Ichi-

I arrived finally to this city for the first time, i never liked cities i was always a person who walked around the countryside after all i have been doing it all my life since i was a boy, i immediatly noticed that my attire wasnt really appropriate in this ambience so i decided to get a change of clothes. I looked for a store that would have anything i would like, suddenly i saw a store called Tastuba man who comes up with these names i walked in and immediatly described to the clerk what i was looking for. He quickly gathered a few things and placed them near a fitting room, "you will be trying these on yes?" he said gesturing to the rooms, "yes" i replied, i noticed when i walked in that the man knew i was out of town, hell i would too if i lived here and saw someone in my wardrobe i tried on the clothes that i have chosen for myself and a few accessories to blend into the city, after all trouble was the last thing i wanted now. I came out of the fitting room and payed for my new attire, I placed my old clothes in a duffel bag i carried with me and left the store looking like someone new.

I have to say that the city looked very spectacular but nothing could make me give up the comfort of open country. I looked for an inn of some sort hoping i could get some rest before entering the night life of this city. I had much to look foward too. I walked into some sort of hotel and made my way to the front desk, "Welcome to Hotel Dionisus" the woman behind the counter said. "Thank you, i would like a room please", i explained to her. Walking through the hallways of the hotel i was beginning to get lost looking for my room, i noticed there was a garden outside, i decided to look into that later. Passing some room filled with odd machines with a few young men laughing, i found my room, room 345. I opened the door locking it behind me and placed my things on the chair beside a TV is what i think they call it. I began laying my things out on the bed and putting them away. I took out a long object with a a covering over it and placed it on the table. It was my sword, I took it out of its covering and unsheathed it, whiping the blade put me in a certain calm mood. When i finished cleaning and polishing the sword and scabbard i placed it on the bed, i then attached a long cloth that i had bought at the store, placing it on my back, then putting on the long black trenchcoat, success it was completely concealed. i put everthing away and took a quick shower. When i finished i layed on the bed and closed my eyes thinking of what this new place would bring to me or perhaps what i would bring to this place.....

- - - - - -

The village being burned, and the yells and cries of innocence...a little boys eyes wide open in amazement and horror....and tears running down his cheeks....

- - - - - -

Waking up instantly i whiped the sweat off my forehead. Another nightmare, I could never sleep well anymore, it wasnt even dark yet, i looked at the clock and noticed i have been asleep only for two hours. I walked into the bathroom and washed my face and then sat in a chair next to the window, the sounds of city life did not ease my mind. As I looked out the window i wondered again what the night would bring me and in that last thought memories began to cloud my mind again and a single tear ran down my cheek.....

POV: Sryenn

I was about to walk back to where Izzy and Jen where when suddenly I felt a strong pressense. My ears tilted a few times as then Izzy said in my direction "Sryenn? You okay?" she asked while looking at me. I looked at her "Oh! yeah I am...hey I'm going to go for a little walk-" "But we brought you some food" Jen stated out "Don't worry, I won't go far" I said smiling as I gave her the sleeping Alanis, put my cap on and exited the room.

Outside the room I carefully walked up to the last floor and out to the roof "Hmm..." I scoped the surroundings...nothing... "That's weird..." I then walked back inside and the same pressense came back again "It's inside?" I asked myself as I walked through the lonely hallway while looking at each door to see where it was coming from. I kept on walking until I reached a particular door. I stopped in mid step and looked at the door that the pressence was coming from the door that I was looking at. I bend down and sniffed a few times the beginning of the door as I noticed that it was a peculiar smell "A samurai...?" The scent of a blade was not too faint to notice but what would a samurai would be doing in a place like this...? I thought that they would only be where I used to live...back in Japan. Though this smell wasn't the one of those that ran around on the streets, oh no this one smelled like the open field and I know that those monsters are never going to smell like that. I stood up knowing where the pressence was coming from and walked back in the direction of my apartment home though something pulled me back...I scensed another...the scent of a familiar creature...I didn't know what it was but at the same time I did. I ran back to the roof thinking that I would stay there a while to clear my head...thoughts came to me as I sat at the edge of the building...

"My name's Sryenn Rynuk...I used to be your normal type of guy...going to collage...trying my best to get through life...one day I was attacked by a demon...it gave me it's powers...now my life is anything but normal...I have cat ears and a tail to boot...and right now I have a jaguar spirit living inside of me...isn't my life grand...?"

I stood up and decided to practice a few moves that I saw people on TV do. I threw a few puches to the air in front of me but when I turned to make a swipe kick I hit the wall and made a dent in it. My eyes opened "What the fu-!?" I walked over to the mid hole that I just made and it didn't even hurt! "Hmm..." I walked back a bit more further and tried the move again and it came out perfectly. I did a few more moves when suddenly I heard a voice

"Well, well, well...what do we have here? A pitifull demon trying to learn how to stand up...isn't that cute?"

I turned in the direction that the voice had came. My eyes were shot open. There on the water pump stood at what you would think it would be a mere guy but suddenly I noticed that he too had ears and a tail just like I did. He wore a simple black shirt and a black jacket with a pair of jeans. I looked at him from head to toe "You...you're....you're the same as I am-!"

"Correction...I'm better than what you are..." he said coming towards me

"And you would be... ....?"

"You can just call me...Vyse" he said as he smiled cooly at me

"WELL Vyse...what do you want!? I don't know you and I don't think that I have done nothing to upset you-!"

"Correction...you have done something to upset me..." he came more closer to where I stood as I pulled back

"What would that be then!?"

"You have upset me....by being born"

he said looking at me coldly as I gave him back the stare "Well that I didn't have a choice in the matter actually so you're just going to have to deal with it-"

"You know what?" he said smiling at me "I kind of like you...I'll tell you what...if you join me and my gang I may spare you the trouble of dying-"

"Bite me!" I shouted back at him as my ears tilted a few times

"All right then...don't you worry...I know your smell...so don't try and hide...Sryenn..."

And with that...he left... "Who the heck was that guy? And how did he know my name?" Now my head was REALLY staring to turn as his words started to wander through my mind. I knew that it wouldn't be the last time that I would see him...but I knew that somehow I would be ready for him...maybe my inner feelings would help me with that...I looked up at the sky as the wind softly picked up caressing me gently as I heard the people down below...something would happen and they would be the first ones who would go down with this city....unless WE did something about it...
