Summary: A vampire story starring Natsuki, Shizuru and puppy Duran. cute huh? No! Evil ahead.
The short slender figure and a sword on the belt would give many a thought that this is a young boy but to everyone's surprise, the hood of the long coat fell reveling a waterfall of dark blue hair. Someone in the group let out a low whistle. However, the girl did not look at anyone but the empty seat at the far end of the counter. She waved the bartender over and slapped a silver coin on the counter.
“I need a room and dinner.”
Despite her rough traveler's look, her voice was surprisingly feminine. The man busied himself with the preparation of food after handing her a room key and pouring her a drink that contained a low level of alcohol. “This is on the house.” He said. Evidently enjoying serving his female customer.
“I don't see girls travel very often. Feel free to come by anytime young lady!”
The girl nodded with thanks and sipped the drink. In the depth of winter, fresh food is hard to come by, the bartender set a plate of of rice with little bits of meet and preserved vegetables down before her.
“Here you go!”
The girl nodded again and rummaged into her luggage and produced a small container. The man stood and watch with curiosity. She opened the small tub and used the spoon to scrape out the last bit of something thick and creamy.
“What's that?” The man asked.
“Mayonnaise. From the capital. Damn... that's the last of it.” she cursed in disgust.
She stirred the the little bit of mayo with the food and took a bite. Disgusted, the man turned away to serve drinks to his other customers. Tired and hungry, she ate at inhuman speed. When the last of the food is gone, she sighed happily and asked for her cup to be refilled but a young man popped out of no where and waved the bartender over with a few gold coins in his hands.
“I'll pay for all her expenses.”
The blue hair girl looked at him and coldly turned down his offer.
“No thanks.”
“Would you like a drink with us my beautiful lady?”
He indicated to a group of disgusting and evil looking youngsters.
“No way. Get lost.”
“Aww... come on! Don't spoil the party...”
He reached for her backpack in an attempt to move it nearer to the group. The girl gave the side of her belt a light pat that unclipped the sword and it's holder. The metal object landed squarely onto his soft boots, making him curse out in pain.
“Why you!... No one treats Dietrot's gang leader like this! Get her!”
5 blurry looking men stood up in unison. One of them picked up a nearby beer bottle and smashed the bottom against the well to make a weapon while another flipped the obstructing table aside. The bartender cowers behind the counter in fear, knowing very well that that's the end of his Inn.
The girl skillfully clipped the sword back to her belt and reached into the pouch behind her. A skinny looking man with a beer bottle commerced the attack and brought the bottle down heavily, however with a quick flick of her hand, the bottle was broken at the neck, leaving him stunned. She proceeded to kick him aside in the stomach as another with a hunting knife lunged at her. The girl gave the air a swipe and in a fraction of a second, the knife clanked lifelessly onto the floor.
“OH My Gosh! She knows magic!”
The leader of the group stood in a corner to observe her while his underlings handled the situation. The next one up is a teenager with a street fighter's look. He had his knuckles bandaged up. She knew that this man fights bare handed so she dropped the little things that she had in her hand and took him on. Sharp little metal rods clinked noisily on the floor.
She dodged the first round of punches then returned it with good grace and lightning speed. Soon, that boy slumped against the wall with a bloodied face.
“That was not magic! Get her with your gun Skye!”
The leader called out to a middle size man standing at the far wall. The girl had her back facing him as another attacker dove at her with a section of a lead pipe. Skye was well known for his quick draw and superb accuracy. Having heard the mention of a gun, the girl ducked from swing of the pipe and elbowed her attacker in the chest, knocking him out instantly. As she watched the man fall, she let her hand relax. Something bright materialized in her hand. Skye already had his hand on his revolver but as he pulled it out, a shot rang out from the opposite side of the room. The leader switch his gaze from Skye to the girl then back to Skye.
The girl had a weird looking gun pointed directly at the other gun user. He looked bewildered. The glass on his wristwatch cracked and a bullet hole suddenly appeared behind him.
“Wait! Stop! Who the hell are you? Don't harm my brother!”
The leader stepped between the gun and the stunned individual.
“No one messes with a hunter. Remember this.”
Suddenly a little boy by the age of 10 ran in with a poster in his hand. The girl sensed that danger was over and lowered the weapon before it scares the boy. The two brothers fled the scene.
“Dad! What happened!”
The bartender stood unsteadily to survey the damage. A smashed table, a broken glass bottle and a bullet hole is all that he suffered. He breathe a sigh of relieve. The boy climbed a tall stool and reached for his father.
“Dad! There's been an attack again! Look! Look!”
He unrolled the poster and slapped it onto the counter. The girl walked closer to them and looked down at the poster.
“Dad! There's a big reward to capture what ever that attacked the Mayor's daughter!”
“Hey boy!” The girl called out. “Who was attacked by what?”
The boy with a mop of healthy brown hair smiled and replied.
“The mayor's daughter, big sister Nao, was attacked early this morning and she was found in the woods by a woodsman. They say it's a ...Vampire...”
The boy added some scary effects to the last word, his father cringed and covered his son's mouth with a hand.
“Don't listen to his nonsense. I thank you for teaching those freeloaders a lesson. Would you like me to show you your room?”
“That won't be necessary. Boy, show me the way to the Mayor's house.”
The bartender looked surprised and worried at the same time.
“Don't be crazy, only a vampire hunter can handle this.”
The boy struggled and broke lose from the hand that kept him quiet.
“Sure! Are you a hunter?”
The girl ruffled his hair and nodded. “Yea...”
“Cool! I'll bring you to the Mayor's office immediately!”
“Wait a second! A normal hunter can't take on that vampire family! Who are you?”
She shrugged and tossed the key and a coin to the bartender.
“I'll be back, please keep that room for me.” Turning to the boy, she said. “Let's go shall we?”
“Don't take my boy with you on your suicide trip! Who the hell are you?”
With a smirk, the blue hair girl threw a final sentence at him.
“Vampire hunter D. D for Duran. That's my codename.”
