Lord Yokoyama was resting in his sofa, reading a book. Suddenly, he felt a slight chill in the air and he looked to the left and gasped. Three strangers just entered his room.
Ritoshi drew his sword. "Who's there?"
Razephon walked forward. "Greetings, Mr. Yokoyama." he said, with one hand on his chest, bowing politely.
"Identify yourself!" said Ritoshi.
"My name is Razephon, and I am a vampire, just like Dracula."
"Vampire?" repeated Ritoshi. (No way...they do exist?) he thought.
"You know Dracula?" Yokayama asked.
"Of course I do. There are not many of our kind in this world, so we must get to know each other real well in order to survive. He and I are from different clans. So I heard you made a deal with Dracula. It was a very nice thing you did for him. So I'd like to make you an offer."
"What offer?"
"Well, Mr. Yokoyama, as you know, we vampires need one thing to survive - blood. We crave blood for nearly every second of our lives. And you are a man of influence and wealth - and if you were to...let us say...commit a crime, you can get away with it. Correct?"
"So what do you want? You want me to provide you with blood?"
"Yes. Very smart man. You provide blood for us, and in return, we will run your...errands for you."
"My errands? I have servants who do those things for me."
"Servants, just like this ninja here?" he said. "We know what kinds of things you do behind closed doors. I am sure we can be of tremendous help to you. We humans and vampire need to team up rather than fight against each other, don't you agree?"
"Let me think about it." Yokoyama said.
"Very well." Razephon said, and he and his two henchmen left the mansion.
Ritoshi was bewildered. "What the...sir, who was that?"
"I never met him before."
"He said he is a friend of Dracula's. You made a deal with Dracula? What is he referring to?"
Yokoyama and the caped vampire were meeting in a dark, isolated with trees and bushes. "My fiancé and her adulterer are going to be at the Ryojin cemetery tonight. One of my servants overheard their conversation. You can take their blood...and kill them if you wish. I do not care what happens to them."
"Very well." replied Dracula. "Thank you so much for your assistance. But one thing worries me, why do you want your fiancé dead? Don't you love her?"
"No, not that bitch. The day she decided to cheat on me is the day she wrote her death sentence. Remember, we never met."
"We never met. I do not even exist." Dracula jumped out the window.
After hearing that explanation, Ritoshi exclaimed, "Sir, this is crazy!! You are responsible for their deaths?"
"This is none of your concern, ninja. You are just a servant, and you will do as you're told, without question."
Ritoshi grunted and became silent, but his head was boiling.
