This is my first non-crossover to be posted. It is completely AU and is a vampire fic. Only pairing decided on so far is Duo and Heero.

Chapter 1

He watched the young man walk down the street from his spot on the rooftop. He was exactly what he had been looking for. Now all he needed to do was learn about his prey before moving in. He smirked coldly, he always got what he wanted and this mortal would be no different.

------------------------------------

He shivered as a particularly cold draft found its way through his thin jacket. He really, really hated winter. The fact that he'd just been fired, again, wasn't helping his mood any either. Not that he'd particularly liked that job but it had enabled him to rent a small apartment, now he'd be back on the streets unless he could find another job within a week. He angrily kicked a rock out of his way and sighed. He really hated his life sometimes. He often wondered how different things would be if not for the fire all those years ago. Would he have been adopted? Or would he have remained happily with Father Maxwell and Sister Helen? He shook his head, he knew better than to dwell on what ifs. It didn't help and just depressed him. A sudden chill of an entirely different sort had him tensing and looking around cautiously, amethyst eyes hidden by his bangs, someone was watching him. He picked his pace up a little, wanting to get back to the relative safety and warmth of the apartment. He was so focused on his unseen follower that he bumped straight into another person and would have fallen if not for the strong arms that suddenly wrapped around him. Startled he glanced up into the bluest eyes he had ever seen.

"Sorry man, guess I'm in a hurry to get home." Duo grinned at the other teen and tried to pull away but was unable to. Intense blue eyes studied him before locking with his own and he felt the strangest sensation pass through him.

"There was no harm done. What is your name?" To his shock Duo found himself answering, something he would usually never do when faced with a complete stranger under the current circumstances.

"Duo Maxwell." The strange sensation was intensifying the longer the stranger held his gaze but Duo found himself unable to look away. A cool hand reached out to touch his cheek before the other released him.

"I will see you again Duo." Duo blinked and the teen was gone. He stood there for a few seconds before shaking his head. Why on earth was he standing in the middle of the sidewalk in the cold? Duo quickly resumed his walk home, unaware of the cold blue eyes that watched him.

-------------------

Heero stood on the rooftop, watching as his prey, Duo, quickly entered the apartment building. He used his senses and the small link he had established to track the mortal to his apartment before leaving for his own home. He could have taken the teen on the street and no one would have noticed but half of the fun in a hunt was in the wait. He would observe for a few more nights before making his move.

-------------------------------

"Something the matter Duo?" The braided teen looked up at his friend. Hilde was watching him in concern so he smiled at her.

"Nope. Why?" He smiled at an elderly man as he filled his bowl. Since he wasn't working today he'd decided to help out at the kitchen with Hilde, at least it meant a free meal.

"I don't know, you're acting a bit odd today."

"Well I did just get fired ya know."

"How long do you have?"

"A week. Chill Hilde, I'll figure something out. I always do."

"You can stay with me for a while if you need to."

"Naw, I'll be fine. You worry too much." Duo flashed her a grin as they kept serving. It was boring work but it made him feel better about himself to help out. Not like he had anything else to do now.

-----------------

"See ya later Hilde!" He waved to her as he left the kitchen, cap pulled down low over his face.

"Be careful Duo!" He gave her a jaunty little wave and headed off through the twilight. He'd only gone two blocks when the hairs on the back of his neck began to stand on end. He picked up his pace, without looking like he was aware of anything wrong and slipped a hand down to where he kept a knife. These were not the best parts of town to be wandering alone at night but Duo was a pretty good fighter, curtesy of his many years on these very same streets so he wasn't too worried. A muffled scream caught his attention and he headed for the alley without thinking about it. He pulled hid knife only for it to slip from suddenly numb fingers as he entered the alley. He watched as the figure dropped the girl's body to the ground and turned towards him. His gaze flickered down and he wanted to be sick, he throat had been torn out and she was obviously beyond help.

Duo began backing out of the alley, wanting room to turn and run or fight but he froze as the figure lunged at him, shoving him hard enough into a wall that he saw stars. He gasped as cold fingers closed around his throat and began to struggle as he felt his feet leaving the ground. His attackers smiled feral and Duo froze as long white fangs were revealed.

"Pretty prey." Was hissed before the grip on his neck changed to bare the skin over his vein. Duo could feel his heart pounding as he renewed his struggles. He finally managed to land a solid kick to the mans stomach and the thing hissed in anger. He was pulled closer to his face and froze as his eyes met glowing brown eyes. He could feel the fight leaving his body as everything became disconnected. His eyelids dropped as a fog seemed to envelope his mind. Nothing really mattered anymore so why fight? He sighed tiredly and let his head hang. He vaguely felt cold breath on his neck but didn't react. He was distantly aware of his body hitting the pavement as he was suddenly dropped to the floor. The sounds of fighting reached his ears but he couldn't force himself to care or move. Within what was probably only minutes the alley was silent again. He felt gentle hands moving him into a sitting position against the wall and blinked groggily at a vaguely familiar face, feeling the fog beginning to lift from his mind. Glowing blue eyes met his and he began to feel a warm, sleepy feeling.

"It's all right Duo, just go to sleep. He will never touch you again; no one will ever touch you like that again. Sleep and forget tonight. Sleep." Duo slumped forward into Heero's waiting arms, lying limply in his embrace. Heero smiled viciously at his opponent's body, he had dared touch what was his and had paid the price. Heero Yuy shared with no one. This mortal would be his and soon. He no longer wanted him as prey, no that would end his fun too soon. This one he would take as his mate. Very carefully he lifted the sleeping teen and leapt to the rooftop, moving quickly to the boys apartment. He easily broke in through a window and settled Duo onto the bed. He lay down next to him and began carefully licking his neck, numbing the skin before hegently sank his fangs into the warm flesh. He moaned as hot fluid spilled into his mouth and swallowed eagerly. He forced himself to pull back and seal the wound after only two mouthfuls. Lifting his wrist to his mouth he bit his wrist and let a few drops of his own blood drip into the teens open mouth, watching him swallow out of reflex.
"You will be mine Duo. When I call you will come to me, no matter what." He brushed cold fingers through chestnut bangs before leaving the apartment. He had a lot to do to prepare for his mate. Turning and claming a mate was a very long process but he was nothing but patient, he could wait as long as it took.

-------------------------------

Duo groaned and rolled over, burrowing further under the thin blankets. His body ached as if he'd been in a fight but he couldn't remember being in one. He paused; then again he didn't remember anything past leaving the kitchen. He sat up warily; yes he was in his apartment. So how had he gotten here? He got up and stumbled into his kitchen, pouring himself a glass of water before slumping down at the table. He didn't feel like he had a hangover but then again he didn't have the money for alcohol so he couldn't have been drunk. Why couldn't he remember? Duo groaned as someone banged on the door. He got up and opened it to see his landlord. The man grinned coldly and he knew he wasn't going to like this.

"Heard you lost your job rat."

"Yeah, I'm looling for a new one." Duo answered more calmly then he felt.

"Don't bother." The mans grin set off warning bells in his head but he was too slow this morning to react. Duo yelped as two men appeared and grabbed his arms, forcing them behind his back painfully.
"I been wantin to get rid of you from the start. Have fun boys, just dump 'im in an alley after." Duo paled slightly as the two men grinned nastily at him. This was going to hurt. He braced himself as well as he could and then his world exploded in pain.
