Ketsueki sat alone in a darkened alley with her cloak's hood drawn over her head. The hood cast a long shadow over her face, making it hard to decipher her emotions. A nearby clock tower chimed midnight. The sound of the bells echoing ominously through the cool night air. The woman glanced up spotting a young man standing before her, carefully clad in bulletproof armor.

        "Are you a vampire?" the young man asked. He couldn't have been much older than 16. Ketsueki stood slowly, the moonlight bouncing from her exposed pale skin.

        "Who wants to know?" she asked carefully, concealing her fangs. The male raised his arm defensively, expecting an attack.

        "The People of the Moon do," he replied. The woman crossed her arms at the chest, arching an eyebrow in amusement. The young man, taking this as a non-threatening pose, lowered his arm.

        "You look just like one," He implied apologetically. She chuckled softly, a sudden gust of wind blowing her hood back.

        Her crimson eyes glowed brightly in the moonlight as she said with a smug grin, "I didn't say I wasn't a vampire," Ketsueki moved wiht such lightning fast speed that her body seemed to completely disappear then rematerialize behind him. "Though the question you should have asked is whether I'm hungry or not." The young man jumped away startled. With a simple yet swift movement, he withdrew his Tizona sword from its sheith. He approached her again swinging it towards her midsection, obviously inexperienced in fighting. Ketsueki lowered her hand, lazily knocking the blade away. She held back a laugh at his stunned expression, quickly withdrawing the gun from his belt.

        "You shouldn't be playing with guns, you might get hurt." She taunted. The young man stood frozen in place qith fear. Ketsueki pulled the ammo cartridge from the gun's grip and dumped all of the bullets out. Each individual bullets sparkled at the tip.

        "I see you're still using diamond tipped bullets," she said bitterly. Diamond, being the hardest substance on earth, was the only thing that could pierce the toughened skin of a vampire.
