It was a Beltain Eve in the year 2013.  The cool breeze filled the Srping air with the scent Cherry Blossoms, the green small rolling hills mixed with the browns of the tree's bark, and the Pink of the Cherry Blossoms comming into bloom in the hills out side of Edo.  The Japanese country side was a glow with green and pink in lighter hugs than normal due to the light spilling from the full moon outside of the large traditional mannor nestled into the small hills.  This mannor is the Spring and Summer home of Nanoki Hara, one of the new Death Dealers in Japan.  Death Dealers happen to be the highest ranking Carpathians any where in the world.  Each Death Dealer has his/her own way of running things and his/her own flock of Carpathians they are in charge of.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Nanoki was on his return trip from the city to his Summer home, when he got word that there was a Vampire hunter on his/her way to Japan.  Nanoki knew it would not be long before the hunter showed up on his door step to kill him.  So he sent a preemptive strike to attack the hunter before he/she had a chance to find him.  He continued to his Summer home.<br/><br/><br/>As the story opens our hunter had just arrived in Japan disembarking from the plane, on his way to his hotel he was attacked by the hunting party sent out by the Death Dealer Hara.
