Eternal Darkness

I’ve been writing on an Inuyasha fic for a while and I’ve missed my fox and dragon, so I decided to return to them. This is a story about vampires so blood will be involved as well as good old-fashioned yaoi lemons in chapters to come. I’m writing this chapter by chapter so I don’t know exactly how often I’ll update but I’ll try my hardest to make it often.

I don’t own the characters or show so don’t sue. I did edit this chapter *what a shock* but I wouldn’t be surprised if there are still errors so you have been warned.

This is told by Hiei’s POV, I used to do POVs a lot but I haven’t done them in a while so please let me know if its any good. And in order to do that you have to *everybody say it with me* review!

Eternal Darkness
Ravenx

I have a secret. A secret that nobody knows. One that has been eating me alive for what seems like forever. It’s a deadly secret that could one day harm the lives of the ones I call friends or allies. One that could even cause harm to myself. What is this secret you ask. Simple.

I’m a vampire.

Yes. Hiei, the Forbidden Child, is a vampire. I would of thought it was pretty obvious the way I love to kill. Every so often licking the blood from my katana. But no. No one has yet to figure it out.

Since I have been coming to the ningen world I have been reading stories of vampires. I thought humans were dumb before but reading what I did made me laugh out loud. How they came up with all those stories I have no idea. Most of them were false.

Take the classics such as garlic, holy water, or crosses. I’m not fond of those items but that is not because I am a vampire but because I am a demon and have no use for what ningens call religion. Garlic is good on pizza but doesn’t smell to good.

Which brings me to another lie, or should I say half lie. Blood. Yes, I need it to survive. But I can eat other things. I’ve grown quite attached to flavored snow or ice cream as the ningens call it. I only have to drink blood about once a week to sustain my strength.

I wouldn’t be caught dead in a coffin, excuse the pun. Actually I’ve only slept in a bed about twice in my life other than that it has been in trees that I find my comfort to sleep. Yes, weird I know.

As for the sun, that’s something I’m not quite sure if the humans are correct in or not. Yes, I venture out in the daylight. But you see I am still a fire demon. When the sun does touch my skin it does burn but it is not tha that is uncomfortable for me or painful. I rather enjoy the heat of the sun on me.

The death of a vampire is what I find most interesting. Stakes though the heart, decapitation, burning. The burning I know will not work as for the others, I do not know. I really don’t feel like going out and getting myself staked or my head cut off to find out if either of them are true. I’ve also noticed that my healing is much faster than a ningen and about twice as fast as another n. n.

My physical appearance has not changed that much. I may be a little bit paler than I once was but it is nothing that noticeable since I am still able to feel the sun on my skin. The only other major difference is my fangs. Sharp and long when I am hungry, they are only a couple of centimeters longer than normal when I am doing anything else. Therefore not that conspicuous.

You maybe asking yourself why this little secret of mine would be of danger to myself or my friends. Well, it’s actually quite simple. You see I’m sure they will not like the fact that one of their closest allies who has battled with theminstinst many demons is a vampire. If they are as unaccepting as I believe they will attach me.

Try to kill me most likely. If they try that then I will have no other opinion than to kill them. But this is something that I’m not sure I will have to do. They are understanding. Most of them being ningens, they would probably fall back on the friendships that I have come to make with them.

True, I may not be the best friend that a ningen could have, or a demon for that matter, but I have come to like them somewhat in the long years that we have been fighting together. I still make my snide remarks to them but in truth that is my way of being friendly, of showing my affections toward them.

I was a vampire long before I meet any of them, that is why they know nothing of what I truly am. I have found no reason in telling them that I am a vampire. A creature of darkness as they are often called. But now I have a reason. A very important one.

You see there is something about vampires that ningens have not written down, and if they have then I have not acr across it yet. Vampires are not creates of lust, of one-night stands as many believe. Vampires are creates of love. They are actually stronger when they are mated to someone that they love and even stronger if that person loves them back.

I have ignored this part of my vampire self for many years now. But it is getting harder and harder to ignore the pull of love. I need someone to become my mate. Not only for me to get stronger but also for me to be truly happy, which I have never been. I must find a mate, take them, and then turn them into a vampire like myself to live, in a matter of speaking, by my side for the rest of eternity.

The easy part I have already done. I have found the one that I wish to spend forever with. I found him a long time ago on a mission, before I had become what they call a good guy. I fell in love with large shining emerald eyes and fiery red hair that reminded me of flames dancing in the moonlight. I fell in love with a delicate human that was far beyond what he appeared to be. I fell in love with a cunning ex-fox thief who had obviously come out of retirement to steal my heart.

I fell in love with a beauty named Kurama.

Now comes the hard part. Getting him to understand what I am without freaking out, taking him the way I have dreamed of doing for years, making him a vampire, and doing all this without getting killed by the rest of the gang or Kurama, himself, for that matter.

I thought my life was hard before. But I believe its just gotten harder.
