Meanwhile in the area that was once the prosperous land of Japan.......<br/><br/><br/>His nostrils flared as the scent of the females lifesblood rang a metallic scent to his nose.  His ears took up the flighty beats of her heart as she ran away from him and the gasping sound of her breath from all the running.  She was still within distance from him he thought as his lips curled back in a small smirk, showing fangs that glistened from his upper lip.<br/><br/>Like a bolt he would take off silently and quickly his sword at his back for now as his crimson eyes narrowed in the dark night sky, for this was the nightly hunt.  Another soul to be laid claimed by vengful being, one that was in search of a way to complete his existence.  Quickly the woman would flee turning corners and ducking into a small staircase shivering in the wind.  Dogs barking down the barren streets as the wind howled back and forth around the stairs that hid the frail frightened woman.  A shadow swooped overhead would make her hold her breath for fear her breathing would bring the monster close to her.<br/><br/><br/>And then it was quiet, almost too quiet as the winds died down and the barking stopped.  The woman went to peek her head out from under the stairs, unknown that from behind her within the darkness a pair of crimson eyes would shoot open glowing red within the darkness.  A clawed hand extending to grasp around her mouth before pulling the muffled crying woman back into the dark recesses of the staircase with a sickening snap and splatter of blood.
