Izaya Orihara smirked as he watched his prey separate from his two friends. Perfect. He had been watching this one for three and a half weeks. He wasn't quite sure why at first. He didn't see anything special about him. But after about a week, he saw it. The side of the teenager that was hidden incredibly well.

The teen had been cornered by a few punks who claimed to be a part of some gang called "Dollars." He stopped caring about what humans had been doing a long time ago, only paying attention to those whom he would feed off of.

What sparked the vampire's interest was the sudden change in the boy's demeanor. The fear went out of his eyes and all that was left was just a certain coldness that caused a shiver to run down Izaya's spine. Apparently, it had an effect on the 'gang members' as well. A few backed up a bit and after the blue-eyed boy spoke they all ran. Fascinating.

What Izaya enjoyed most was the hunt. The thrill is in the chase, never the capture and all that. First, he would pick a victim. They had to interest him in some way or another. His next step was to watch his prey, learn everything there was to learn about them. This process usually took about a month and a half. He would watch their interactions with friends, family, classmates, strangers, and, most importantly, how they would act when by themselves. He would find out their interests and hobbies. Later, using the information he obtained, he would earn their trust and slowly worm his way into their life until he completely dominated it. The final step was to convince them to run away with him. This step was by far the easiest. Afterwards, he would drink their blood and keep them alive until he grew bored with them or found a new target.

What he does when he's done with them varies. Some he kills and others he sends back into the real world. The latter, frankly, is crueler. He leaves them traumatized. Usually, they hate him, but want nothing more than to be with him again. That's the kind of hold he has over these poor humans.

But he loves humans. That's why he's stuck around for hundreds of years. He wanted to watch his precious humans grow and develop throughout the years. He was beginning to become bored when his latest target caught the vampire's attention.

Name: Mikado Ryuugamine.

Age: 16

Blood Type: O

Birthday: July 24

Height: 5'4

Personality: Ah, that was the question.

From what the raven haired male had seen, the boy had two personalities. The more prevalent of the two was the shy, quiet boy who was just looking to lead an interesting life full of adventure. He blushes quite a bit, stutters, and is generally innocent. The second, and Izaya's opinion more interesting, personality was much darker and more ruthless. Everything the boy does somehow benefits himself and the boy is not at all afraid of hurting those who get in his way of living an exciting life.

Mikado was perfect and Izaya couldn't wait to play with his new favorite human. He made plans to begin step two tomorrow. He had a feeling this would be different than any other hunt he'd had before.
