    “So,” I said, as I launched a lethal knife-hand strike at Minaka’s throat. “Speaking as a conservationist, I have some concerns with regards to the Sekirei Plan’s impact on an already fragile population’s genetic variance.” “How so?” he asked, wisely backstepping in a flawless dodge. My...

    “Toyotama? Am I a bad person?” “Ummmm….” Izumi Higa most certainly did not recline upon a throne embossed with skulls, or any other sort of impractical contraption like that. No, instead he sat in a comfortable recliner, which creaked under his new weight. Once, literally...

    When I woke up, Homura and Kaho were there. “Oh, good, you came back,” I said, shaking off my sleep. “So. Good news and bad news.” “We found Shiina, and he had Yukari, so we know you got them out,” Homura said. “Mmhm. So, the other bit of good news is that Kakizaki is dead.”...

    I was woken up during the day by my daughter-in-law vigorously shaking me. “Wake up, wake up! Minato called! He said that Higa is marrying his sister RIGHT NOW, and that you needed to know so that you could get everyone together!” she shouted. I pulled myself together, rising from my...

    The next night, I met my team in the bar, wearing a Hawaiian button-up shirt unbuttoned over a Twilight t-shirt, the perfect disguise. (No one would ever expect an actual vampire to wear Twilight merch.) “So, are we doing this?” I asked. “Yes,” Homura said. “We are.” He offered me a...

    A/N: Happy Valentine's Day! Have some cute couple antics, and also a nightmarish demon from the blackest pits of hell! Kenji Kakizaki was not an exceptional man, nor was he a man of great personal ambition. Were an outside observer to examine his conduct in his day-to-day life, they...

    “Here’s to victory!” I said, raising my drink in a toast. Seeing as my drink was a woozy blond man, nobody clinked their drinks with mine. “Oy, no mistreating the blood dolls,” the barkeep said. “I had no idea there even was a place like this in Tokyo,” Kaho marveled, sipping at her...

    I watched, carefully, from my chosen vantage point, on a rooftop above the plaza. The enemy was almost here. Their trucks, battered and scarred, carried their vanguard forward. I grinned. “Hey, Homura! Bet you can’t hit their gas tanks from here.” “And what do I get if I do it?” he...

    I arrived at the warehouse that night to find Chiho and Uzume in a tizzy. “What seems to be the issue?” I asked from behind them, relishing how they jumped at my sudden appearance. “David,” Uzume began, but I gave her a look. “Fine. Father-in-law, please tell this idiot that we’re not...

    Yuuta Tanabe was a guard for MBI. The pay was good, the benefits package was better, and he got all the same bragging rights cops got, since, in Shinto Teito, MBI more or less was the government. Meaning their private army was more of a police force than the actual police force. And was...

    How did one train a young vampire? This was the driving question that lay before me, as I dealt with the consequences of Embracing Chiho. I would have to train her, that much was clear. I could not in good conscience send her out into the world as an unrefined and untrained fledgling. And...

    I watched as Chiho ran through the meditational exercise, her hands, once frail and faltering, now strong and sure, bringing the polishing cloth and fluid over her scimitar, as she contemplated the blade. “Is this strictly necessary?” Uzume said with a sigh, arms crossed as she leaned...

    Oosumi Orahiko hated his name. Not his true name, Hunts-In-The-City’s-Silent-Shadows, but his human name, the name he was forced to take to blend in. The one he had to wear when he walked the city in Homid form. The birds from beyond the world might have driven out most of Tokyo’s...

    “I’m going to need to visit the capitol,” I said to my Lady, after I had risen from beneath her bed that night. “Why?” Louise asked, looking at me with suspicion. “Because I need to figure out how widespread the local vampires are. If it’s just one or two transplants like me, if it’s...

    Haruka Shiigi was, for once, having a good day. As he stared back across the broken bridge, at the people, no, at the heroes, Sekirei and Ashikabi alike, who’d helped him escape Shinto Teito with his Sekirei, Shiina, he could only wish Minato and all his Sekirei’s good karma from this would...

    When I went to sleep the night I Blood Bound Anko and Seiji, I dreamt. This was not in itself unusual. My dreams during the day were a common fixture of my unlife, a welcome respite from the worn-out world I dwelt in, this past century. They ranged from the fantastical, to reliving memories...

    The Sekirei Plan. A deathmatch between members of an alien species, bound and enslaved by human beings. And, honestly, I wanted in. It was fascinating. Legitimately fascinating. For the first time in over a century, I felt alive. My body was aflame with energy, my mind consumed by...

    Masquerade Breach. That was the term for what I had just done, back in my old world. I had exposed my nature as a vampire, in front of mortal witnesses. I felt sick to my stomach at the thought, although that might have been a consequence of vomiting up so much blood. “So,” said Louise...

    During the day, I dreamed. I dreamed of my old world. I dreamed of… the Productivity Report. Endless nightmares of shame and humiliation echoed through my mind, as I relived my fall from grace within the Camarilla. And then, I woke up inside a coffin strapped to the back of a wagon...

    Minaka hated this. He hated the stupid elevator music on his way up to the office of the man he came to see. He hated the fact that he had to fly to them, not them to him. He hated that one interloper, one goddamn interloper, had reduced him to this by killing Karasuba. But most importantly, he...
