Chapter 1: Moonlight Dance

Disclaimer- I don't own Yugioh 5'ds I do however own the plot, the titles for the chapters and my Ocs.

A/N- I'm finally posting again. I've had EOCT testing but that's over as of yesterday. I hope I pass. Also my friend Christina is in the hospital she had surgery so my other story will not be updated until further notice. In this story however my little sister Marilu will be helping me. :-) (Not my real sister). Also after the flashback this chapter will be Aki's point of view and me being 3rd person. Possibly more POVs idk yet.

Summary- A war has been going on for centuries between vampires and humans. A recent casualty has everyone on edge. The Kingdom of Roses has decided to throw a party for the royal vampire family in hopes of stopping the bloodshed. Upon arriving the vampire prince has fallen head over heels for the Rose princess. How well will she take the news?

*16 years ago*

The Rose princess is born. The fighting cities have agreed on a day of peace to celebrate the child's birth. She is dressed in red and surrounded by roses. She is paraded along side her parents down the cobble stone streets in a glorious festival of bright red and pink roses. After the long exhausting parade as the King and Queen prepare to retire for the night a fortuneteller appears out of the darkness. He is wearing a cloak and tells them that it's their daughter destiny to save the kingdom from destruction and if she can't everyone no matter what will die in fire and pain. Nothing will survive and the vampires will rule the world.

"No not our daughter not Aki. You must be mistaken sir." The Queen said pleading with the man.

"My Queen please calm down we will be ok. If it's her fate we must not try to stop it. We however must try and help her." The King said as he held the Queen close to comfort her.

The fortuneteller disappeared into the same shadows he appeared out of as the King held the Queen as tight as he could.

"Our poor Rose princess. It's not fair she deserves a better future than this." The Queen cried as her husband led her to the bedchambers for the night.

The poor heroin only a few days old had her whole life taken away and planned for her. The war has been going on for centuries and no one still knew how or why.

*The Present Day*

Aki is in her room of red roses. She is on her queen sized bed crying. She has been there all day and has refused anything to eat. She can't do anything but cry at the loss of her dear sister Carly who was killed by the damned vampires.

*Flashback*

Carly had left Aki's castle just as the sun began to set. She had told Aki all about this boy she had met and fallen for. He said he loved her the same. The only problem was that he was a vampire. Aki didn't like the thought of that but she had promised Carly she wouldn't tell. The last thing she saw Carly in was her favorite aqua blue dress and she had her hair down. As Carly reached her and Jack's favorite meeting place by the crystal clear lake humans and vampires alike ambushed them. The vampires killed Carly before Jack could get to her and the humans killed Jack just seconds later with silver drenched wood and steel. When morning light came the news of the fight had spread far and wide. Aki rushed from the castle despite her mother's warnings only to see Carly covered in bright red blood that almost stained her whole dress and her eyes opened in shock. Aki ran back inside the castle only to lock herself away from the world and cry her tears of pain.

*End of Flashback*

I still don't believe the headlines. I can't believe a word they say my sister can't be dead. She'd have been here with me all night if it weren't for that stupid vampire. He said he loved her well where has that got her. She was killed by vampires and we humans killed him. This war is becoming more and more violent as the days go by, the seasons are beginning to change and now the nights will become longer. Those bloodsuckers will have a better advantage over us but my people will not quit. They didn't quit centuries ago and won't now. I just wish my sister were here to celebrate the blue moon. This night and 2 after are a sign of peace between our warring kingdoms and the moonlight festival is tonight. This festival only happens every 750 years and this time it will be hosted in our Kingdom.

I detest the vampires but I must deal with this just like everyone else in our Kingdom. There are thousands of orange, red, yellow and pink roses decorating the outside of the castle leading up to our maze where the party will occur. The space is huge enough for our Victorian tables, chairs of the finest wood and silverware of the finest silver. If any vampire were to try anything funny they won't know what hit them. Well neither will my parents if they find out my secret. I'm a kunochi and a peacekeeper I suppose. If a vampire goes on a killing spree me and few of my friends take care of him undetected by the vampires and my family. I have a lot of secrets I'm hiding from everyone but that's the main one they don't need find out. I suppose I should get ready now I must at least act happy this is very important. I have a red ballroom gown I must wear as well as ruby red dancing shoes. Everything is new and hand made I will not have my hair styled however I will simply wear it down. I don't see why I should dress up for them it's a waste of time.

*Later that night*

All of the guests began arriving in their finest clothes. The royal family was outside greeting everyone when it became so quiet that a pin could be heard as it fell to the ground. The royal family of vampires and their associates had arrived. One in particular was a teen boy who's hair stuck out like a crab. He had yellow highlights in his hair and cobalt colored eyes that seemed all to alive even though he was undead. He was wearing the royal colors of his home and staring straight at Aki. She was taken back at this. She couldn't believe a vampire was staring at her like that. Then as the tension rose the vampire royal family walked towards them.

Aki's father nudged Aki to walk up towards them even if she didn't want to. As they reached the half way point in front of the door that lead back into the castle the 2 Kings shook hands and smiled.

"Good to see you Hideo." Hakase said shaking the gentleman's hand.

"It's always a pleasure to have you here." Hideo said smiling as he looked back at Aki who was looking away at the lights of red and white.

The women had already gone off to chat at the table while the men stood there and Hideo noticed that Yusei was looking at Aki.

"Ah this is my daughter Aki. Aki this is Hakase the King of the Vampires and his son Prince Yusei." Hideo said pushing Aki towards the vampires.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Rose Princess." Hakase said kneeling and kissing Aki's hand.

"You're very beautiful princess." Yusei said staring into her amber eyes as her breath got caught in her throat.

"Where's your daughter? I surly thought she would be here." Hideo said coming to his daughter's aid.

"She wasn't feeling well so she stayed behind. She does however send her deepest apologies." Yusei said still not taking his cobalt eyes off of Aki.

"She doesn't need to apologize it's fine. It's absolutely fine." Aki blurted out completely nervous and uncomfortably.

"Sweet heart are you ok?" Hideo asked his daughter as she looked down at the concrete and cobble stone ground.

"Yes…I must go now!" Aki exclaimed running away into the crowd the last thing seen was her dark red hair.

"You'll have to excuse her. She's not usually this jumpy or nervous. She hasn't been herself ever since this morning really." Hideo said apologizing.

"I like her." Yusei said catching Hideo off guard.

"What do you mean son?" Hakase asked a little taken back by his son's remark as well.

"I like her. She really seems like my type. I think she'd make a perfect bride. She's not very quiet and I'm sure she's a fighter. The only reason she's probably nervous is because I can't help but stare at her. She's absolutely perfect in every way." Yusei said looking at his father smiling and then to Hideo who couldn't believe what he had heard.

"Shall we go inside and talk before the feast." Hideo said as he began to walk towards the castle followed by Hakase and Yusei who spotted Aki talking to her friends.

Music began to play and people and vampires began to couple up and dance. Aki was dancing with one of her friends when Yusei tapped on his shoulder and asked to cut in. Aki's friend gladly let him much to Aki's dismay. Yusei was a divine dancer but Aki wanted to get away as fast as possible. Luckily for her the music ended but the night had just begun.

The feast proceed with the Queens and Kings sitting at the main table followed by the princes and princesses all human excluding Yusei sitting at a table next to theirs and then all of the subjects sitting not to far away. Red wine was shared, blessings said for each kingdom and then the food was brought out. There was an elegant plate of lamb and a citrus salad to start but Aki couldn't eat a thing with Yusei staring up at her every chance he got. Tomato bisque was next and Aki ate a little of that but when Yusei whispered something to her she stopped eating but tried not to show she was scared. The desert was finally brought out and it was Aki's favorite. Cinnamon cherry cream pudding with a strudel topping and she thought there was no way Yusei would stop her from eating that. He however didn't have to. Before everyone began eating Hideo and Hakase stood up as Hideo said there was an announcement to be made.

All eyes were on the 2 kings as Yusei stared at Aki and smiled with his white fangs showing.

"Tonight is a glorious night. The moon is shining brightly and the harvest shall grow plentiful for both kingdoms but before we retire for the night back to our kingdoms there is wonderful news to be shared. The war shall be coming to an end soon. My daughter The Rose Princess Aki as you all know is of marrying age and as of tonight is betrothed. She and Prince Yusei shall wed in a few months. Then after the wedding the war is finally over after centuries of fighting. A toast to the future bride and groom." Hideo said raising his gold and silver goblet full of wine high.

Aki was taken back by this she couldn't believe her father had agreed to have her marry a monster. Someone she could never love nor did she want to try. Aki was about to start crying when Yusei's voice snapped her out of it.

"I'm very thrilled that you're going to be my bride I really love you. You'll make a wonderful Vampire Queen." Yusei said as Aki bolted for the castle knocking over her chair and leaving everyone speechless.

*Aki's POV*

I can't believe any of this is happing! This must be a dream. That's it it's a dream I'll wake up and Carly will still be here. I can't I'm not marrying that monster it's just a horrible nightmare. Who am I kidding this is reality a terrible reality I'm living in. My parents betrayed me they said they'd never do this to me. I should've known better than to believe them. I can't stop these acid tears from streaking down my face they sting…of betrayal and lies. Carly please help me I'm scared please make this pain go away like you always do…HELP ME! It's hopeless I can't escape without being caught and it's not safe out there. I hear knocking at my door but I know it's that monster I'm not moving. I can't let anyone see me like this.

Aki just laid there crying her eyes out in the dark only comforted by her huge soft red covered bed. The knocking continued for a few minutes before the person got a key and began to open the door. A figure began to walk in and light a candle the person was Aki's mom the Queen Setsuko.

A/N- The 1st chapt of another multichapt story I'm writing. Thanks for all the help Mari I hope we both passed the EOCT. Unfortunately but for those who don't know the EOCT counts for 15% of our final grade in whatever class it's for and in this case it's math. And in this story Carly is like Aki's older sister and closest friend. Sorry if the characters may not be themselves but this is really the only way I can see them. Get well Christina! R&R please and thanks for those who review you get cookies b/c I made way to many and Christina doesn't need a lot of sugar.
