December 24th 2021,the day before Christmas
"So it's been exactly a month since you passed you qualification exams and today is gonna be your first mission" says a tiny man who looks to be in his late forties or early fifties, with more grey hair than black on his head.
"So the three of you shall be going to Kyoto today, your train is in fifteen minutes time, and it's gonna take two hours forty minutes to get to Kyoto from Tokyo here, the time says 3:15 so you should arrive at Kyoto by 6:10" he puts out his cigar before he continues talking
"There has been information from our allies that there have been numerous sightings of vampires in Kyoto and a lot of paranormal activities have been reported by citizens also people have started disappearing mysteriously, Your mission is to go to Kyoto and try to get as much information as you can and try to find out what is going on, and while your at it hunt down as many vampires as you can if there are any. You are to return in a week if you don't find anything or sense any paranormal activity, got that you brats?"
He's talking to non other than the newly established SPECIAL UNIT,
"I'd rather not spend my Christmas Eve like this," nags taiyou, he's wearing a black hoodie over a white collared shirt, his black pants jump a little, for footwear his wearing a black snickers,(vampire hunters are required to dress formally, so they wear black and white)
"Don't nag taiyou it's what's required of us" replies katsuragi , he is wearing a black cloak that covers red his white collared shirt and baggy pants, and also wearing a black trainers, with his katana seethed and strapped across his back.
"Agreed" says the white haired boy, who's hair is now tied in a samurai way, and is also dresses the same way as taiyou and katsuragi, except he wears a long black leather jacket over his shirt, and is wearing a blue scarf that covers his neck and mouth, he also sags his black tie and carries a black wooden box on his left hand, and the final person standing beside the white haired kid is kimiko, she is dressed like an office woman, wearing white collard shirt that is so tight it looks like her boobs want to pop out of it, her trousers are also skin skintight and her ass is bulging, she is also carrying med kit with her.
"Now if you understand that you brats should get going"
They all bow and take their leave.
8:00 in Kyoto city
They stay in a hotel and book two rooms
(In the room)
"Wow" yells taiyou as he admires the room, it's spacious enough to contain five people, with a king sized bed, silk curtains, two air conditioners, and a beautiful chandelier at the center of the ceiling to beautify the room.
"This is so cool" says taiyou as he jumps on the bed
"Oi stop it taiyou" says katsuragi
"Oh why didn't we just book four rooms for the four of us?" Asks taiyou
"Because we three need to be together in the hotel incase of anything, the second room is for kimiko because she obviously can't sleep in the same room as us three, her room is right next to ours so incase of an emergency we can easily get to her" replies katsuragi, he looks at the white haired boy
"You don't talk a lot do you?"
The white haired boy glances at katsuragi and says nothing
"What's your name?" asks katsuragi
"Ryou"
"Cool name. Hey taiyou this guys name is ryou got it?" Says katsuragi
"Yea I got you" says taiyou
"You can go to your room kimiko"
"Oh, ok katsuragi-San" says kimiko as she heads over to her room.
Ryou carries his wooden box with him and leaves the room
"Where are you going?" Asks taiyou
"Just going for a stroll, don't follow me"
He takes his leave and exits the hotel
"What's his problem?" taiyou says to himself
Katsuragi also leaves the room
"You going for a stroll too?"
"Yea need to get some fresh air, we were cooped up in that bus for hours"
"Wait I also want to come"
"Well we can't just leave kimiko in here so your gonna have to take her with you and catch up with me"
"Why me?"
"Cuz your the last out of the three of us to leave the room, bye" says katsuragi as he goes down the stairs and exits the hotel
Taiyou walks over to kimiko's room and knocks on the door,
"Oi kimiko"
"Yea who's there?"
"It's me taiyou, wanna go for a stroll?"
"Sure, give me some time to change"
"Ait"
(Some minutes later outside the hotel)
Taiyou and kimiko are outside strolling together in the snow as the bright moonlight shines over the whole of Kyoto
"What a nice night" says kimiko
"I guess" says taiyou
Kimiko stares at taiyou's face, she continues staring intensely.
"I don't know why but since taiyou kun and I started talking from the day he arrived at company eight, I'm always nervous around him, and my heart beats a lot whenever we talk" kimiko says to herself. Taiyou looks at her
"What's wrong kimiko? You've been staring at me for a while now, have I got something on my face?" Kimiko quickly turns red and looks away
"No it's nothing you just look a lot like someone I know"
"That's nice, what's the person like?"
"He's really kind and a type of person who puts the life of people before his own"
"Wow he sounds like a nice guy"
"He is"
They continue strolling for a while and coincidentally come across katsuragi
"Oi katsuragi, Oi, look behind you it's taiyou"
Katsuragi turns around and sees taiyou and kimiko, he smiles and waves
"You finally came out"
"Yea kimiko was taking forever to dress up"
"Hehe, my bad"
"Have you seen Ryou anywhere? Taiyou"
"No, but kimiko should be able to sense it since she is an expert in healing and tracking, can you do it kimiko?"
"I can try"
( kimiko is eventually able to trace ryou's divine energy to a lakeside and lead taiyou and katsuragi to him)
Ryou is sitting on the snowy ground and beside the lake and just staring into the endless night.
"What do you think he is doing?and does he always carry that wooden box around?"asks taiyou as the try to hide from him
"I don't know, but I have and idea" katsuragi then whispers into taiyou's ear
"Let's do it" smirks taiyou
Ryou is still staring out into the endless night, and he is suddenly hit on the head with a snowball, he doesn't react, he is hit with another snowball, and another, and another, and then he finally snaps
"Which one of you want to die first?" Says Ryou as he gets up
"Ah you caught us, don't be pissed we were just having a little f-"
Before taiyou can complete his sentence he takes a snowball to his face pointblank to his face, and so does katsuragi
"Don't bother me" says Ryou calmly
Katsuragi throws another snowball at him
"Come on is that all you've g-"
And this time Ryou throws such a huge snowball at katsuragi that he loses his balance and falls down.
"That one really packed a punch" commends katsuragi
Taiyou throws a snowball at kimiko and Ryou and before anyone realizes it's become a free for all.
After goofing around the door of them sit down , and even though it was a fun time for everyone Ryou doesn't show it nor does he smile.
"I think we should head in soon" says kimiko, it's already 10:30 the hotel will soon stop allowing people enter
"She's right let's go" says katsuragi
As the three of them are making their way into the hotel they all freeze.
"They're here" says katsuragi
"There's more than one" says taiyou
"And they're more than one or two, they're up to ten or probably more, but some of them are not completely within our realm but most of them are right here as we speak" says kimiko
"Where precisely are they?" asks katsuragi
"Most are within the area around us but one is in the hotel"
"I'll take the one in the hotel" says taiyou
"Ok do it now, Ryou we're handling the ones outside, kimiko stay beside us"
Taiyou goes to the front of the hotel and takes a squatting stance
"I'm not that good at tracking like kimiko, but it seems it's a low rank vampire since it has no divine energy, but it's close enough for me to sense it presence"
Taiyou concentrates while the rest of them leave his side,
"Concentrate, where are you bastard? Found you!"
He concentrates his divine energy on his feet and thighs
"Don't jump yet let the divine energy build up Not yet, not yet, Now!"
Taiyou leaps to the 5th floor of the building and breaks through the window of the room, he sees a young boy and a woman on the bed shaking out of fear, he looks at the ground and sees a man on the floor drained of blood with two holes on his neck, these three are probably a family
"Where is it? I cans sense him but I can't see him, concentrate try to locate he probably just shape shifted, he concentrates and focuses his divine energy into his eyes, it's tense and the mother and child are scared, Taiyou sees a black butterfly
"Got you bastard"
Taiyou leaps at the butterfly and it immediately transforms into its original form, the vampire punches taiyou on his face and leaps at the mother and child, but taiyou gets up almost immediately and leaps at the vampire before it can reach the mother and child, he grabs it and throws himself and the vampire out of the room through the window , and they both fall of the fifth floor of the hotel and lbs on the ground, Taiyou quickly gets up and puts his heart through the vampires chest and removes its heart. Taiyou notices his shoulder is dislocated from the fall, he quickly puts the shoulder back to its original position, blood is dripping from the top of his head
"Ah my head is hurting from that fall, but I couldn't just let him kill that poor family, I better get goin-" Taiyou is suddenly unable to move from the strong divine pressure
"Th, this presence, it's a strong vampire"
A vampire suddenly lands on the roof of the hotel, he is really slim, and pale as a ghost, he's wearing a black over all while wearing a white cloak over it, and with a griffin symbol on the left side of the cloak. He comes down and lands a few feet away from taiyou.
"So your the vampire hunters that were sent after us, I'm amused by the fact you killed a vampire without blinking, he was my henchman you know?" Says the vampire
Taiyou forces himself to move and withstand the divine pressure,
"Oh, my goodness, your even able to withstand my divine pressure, how amusing, your truly special
"Why have you guys been attacking Kyoto recently, what is your goal that you have killed so many innocent people to achieve it?"
"And don't worry about others just worry about yourself, besides what's the point of knowing what our goals are when your gonna die this now"
Taiyou takes his usual taekwondo position and concentrates his cursed energy into his fists
"Just try it , your the one who's gonna die this night"
"You cocky brat" grins the vampire.
