I'm aware that I keep filling myself up with more stories than I can handle, but coming up with ideas is just a lot of fun for me...plus, I've also really wanted to do a vampyre theme with 5D's and I've just never gotten around to it, but now I have. Enjoy!
Beneath the Moonlight
Couple(s): Aki x Yusei, Carly x Jack, etc.
Rating: T/M (depends on where the direction of the story goes...I'll let you know soon.)
Sidenotes: There may be a possibility of sexual relations, but I'm having a hard time deciding...so for right now be aware that there is cussing, sexual innuendos, some violence...but not like blood and guts kind of violence.
Most importantly, though I think the Twilight saga books are okay, my story is absolutely NOT based on those books. I actually did research when I decided to write this story and I also threw in some of my own stuff as well. Trust me, there's nothing about anyone being sparkly at any point in this story.
"To live is like love, all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it."
~Samuel Butler
In Neo Domino City, lived bloodthirsty creatures. Many of which nowadays people took lightly about how dangerous these creatures pose to them. Vampyres. That one word implies many things to the human mind. Stereotypes such as vampyres have deep, blood red eyes and they are capable to hypnotize any human's mind they choose. This happened to not be the case. The truth was that vampyres were either purebloods, half-bloods, or some other hybrid variation. They lived in the city with the humans, but they just happened to live in the slums since they weren't . The scent of human blood was something all of them loved immensely. There were those who happened to be able to control their bloodlust, some others who couldn't.
Not that the city government took the situation lightly. The Public Security Maintenance Bureau made sure to put officers on duty around the entire city. They tended to be quite strict, especially at night. To solve the entire blood and human thing, they had a process to ensure that the vampyres did not generally hunt humans...unless they wandered into their territory.
At the moment, there lived a eighteen going on nineteen year old boy was settled in an small garage one of the small vampyre districts called Honey Grove. His garage seemed to be the only decent looking place out of all the places where vampyres lived.
"Yusei! Where're the damn tweezers?" Crow asked, literally growling.
"I don't know. Are you plucking your nose hairs again?" Yusei questioned, raising a brow.
"Nooooooo...," Crow drifted, biting his lip.
In other words, yes, Yusei, I am plucking my nose hairs, Yusei thought, as he glanced at a picture of his mother and father.
Like most vampyres, he lived with a coven of vampyres. Instead of his actual family, he was in a coven with his friends, Jack, Crow, Sherry, and Bruno. His biological parents were previously apart of a vampyre organization known as the Montecelli clan, with his father being the leader. Unfortunately, the clan fell to the hands of Yliaster, the group who opposed the Montecelli, and crushed any hope that the Montecelli could regroup themselves. To this day, all vampyres knew that if anyone opposed Yliaster, your only fate was death.
All he did was try to get humans and vampyres to come together and get along, not keep us separated like those jerks from Yliaster, Yusei thought, sadly as he continued working on a part for his D-Wheel.
"Hey, what are you doing?" A feminine voice asked, entering the garage.
"Oh hey, Sherry." Yusei muttered, continuing to work.
"You might want to take a break. Security is coming by with the blood trucks soon." Sherry told him, kindly.
"I will in a minute, thanks though." Yusei smiled, as she walked away.

In the other part of the city, Aki Izayoi was currently sitting in her advance literature class. Like any other normal teenager, she awaited the end of the school day which wasn't for another two minutes.
Ugggghhh, why can't school be over for the day? She thought, rolling her eyes. Before she knew it, the bell went off and everyone zoomed out of the classroom, including herself.
As she stopped by her locker, her best friend, Krysten stopped at her locker with a perky and excited look on her face.
"Hey, Aki! Are you excited for tonight?" Krysten asked, cheerfully.
"Krysten, I don't understand what's so exciting about going to a new club. Plus, isn't this club you're talking about in the areas where vampyres live?" Aki questioned, shutting her locker door.
"Yeah, but I have some friends who know how to get pass security and stuff. There's nothing to worry about." Krysten said, trying to reassure Aki.
"Ehh, I'll think about it. I'll text you later." Aki told her, as she headed to the black SUV that belonged to her father.
"How was your day?" Mr. Izayoi asked, smiling.
"It was okay, but it was quite boring towards the end of the day." Aki explained, as he started driving.
"Oh, do you mind if I make a quick stop? It's something I have to drop off for work." He told her.
"No, I don't mind. Go ahead." Aki replied, casually looking out the window. After a little while, Aki noticed that the car ride to her father's destination was getting quite long, which caused her to fall asleep. After about another half hour, Aki woke up and realized they were no where near home.
Wait, why are we near the slums? Aki thought, getting a little scared. She looked out the windshield and saw her father speaking with the sergeant of security. After sitting there for a little bit, her father came back to the car and pulled off.
"Ummm, I don't want to pry, but why were we just near the slums?" Aki questioned, curiously.
"I'm sorry, I had to drop something off to the sergeant. They have a secret headquarters around here. I promise I won't bring you hear again." Mr. Izayoi responded, feeling a little bad.
"No, it's fine. I just didn't want anyone trying to eat us." Aki mumbled, as her father chuckled, "Oh, can I ask you something?"
"Sure. What's on your mind?" Mr. Izayoi questioned, raising a brow.
"Can I go over Krysten's house tonight...since tomorrow's the weekend?" She inquired.
"I don't mind. Just call when you want to come home." He answered, taking the highway that lead to their home. Only if Aki knew that at one point, she was being watched.

"Dude, you gotta believe me...I saw a really hot chick in a car near a security hideout. I think her father was giving them something, but I could smell her." Crow said, as Jack was starting to get bored.
"I seriously doubt that. Security wouldn't let just any human near us." Jack explained, plainly.
"Well, I'm being honest. Man, she smelled so good." Crow muttered, trying to imagine the scent.
"Stop talking about some stupid human girl. She's probably some nasty little slut." Sherry growled, rolling her eyes, as she continued to make stir fry.
"Well, someone's a little jealous." Crow snickered, as she gave him her death glare.
"I'm not jealous! I just can't stand how human girls act like such sluts. All they do is sleep around with guys and get knocked up everytime you turn around." Sherry grumbled, huffing to herself.
"Can we all just move onto another subject?" Bruno asked, being loud on purpose.
"Well, I'm going to go...do something." Jack muttered, heading out the garage.
"You're planning on going to see...mmmmmm." Crow said, as Jack covered his mouth.
"Shut up, or I'll take the pleasure of ripping your head off." Jack murmurred, pushing him back in the garage and taking off.
"He's going into the city isn't he?" Sherry questioned, knowing that Jack was predictable.
"Most likely. You know, so he can get some more ramen." Crow told her, shrugging, "Agh! When are they coming with the blood?"
"I don't see how you like that stuff. I mean, it's from the hospital and the majority of the time it's not fresh." Yusei mentioned, coming from upstairs.
"Sherry made stir fry...and why is it you care so much about the way it tastes? We should be thankful they're doing that much for us." Crow replied, out of curiousity.
"The reason they're giving us hospital blood is so we don't feed from humans." Yusei responded, scooping himself some stir fry, "Where's Jack?"
"Probably finding a human girl to screw." Crow muttered, stuffing his mouth with stir fry, "Speaking of humans...I saw this chick who was so effin' hot! And she smelled good too."
"You know we don't feed from humans, Crow." Yusei said, sounding like his parent.
"No, I know. I mean, I wasn't trying to get after her cuz of that." Crow mumbled, shyly.
"Plus, some humans come in our parts since there's some nightclub around here they go to." Sherry added, sipping her cup of juice, "I hate drinking juice without blood."

"Aki! Are you ready yet!" Krysten asked, impatiently.
"Gee, pardon me for wanting to wear a bra." Aki told her, rolling her eyes, as she brushed her hair.
"I don't know why you bother anyway. Your boobs are too abnormally huge." Krysten joked, giggling a little bit.
"Let's just go." Aki responded, grabbing her wallet, "Are you really sure this is safe, Krys? I really don't want to get eaten by a vampyre."
"You worry too much, Aki. Trust me, it'll be fun. Plus, Mokoto and the guys are gonna be there." Krysten pointed out, as she pulled out of her driveway.
"Ummm, you forgot to mention that only you're interested in Mokoto." Aki stated, matter of factly.
"Well, there's some cute guys with him." Krysten pointed out, shrugging casually.
Not that I'm interested in them, Aki thought, as she tried to enjoy the car ride.

"Hey! You're not going to believe what I just heard!" Crow shouted, bursting into the kitchen.
"What is it?" Yusei asked, lying on the couch in the nearby living room.
"Some hybrids and purebloods were telling me that Yliaster and the human government are trying to create a army of snipers to kill vampyres that trespass into the human part of the city and make up laws that vampyres have to follow." Crow told him, as Sherry put her book down.
"Why? We don't even hunt the humans since they give us blood from the hospital." Bruno mentioned, slightly confused.
"They were also saying something about how there have been reported human killings and that their evidence leads towards vampyres." Crow added.
"Well, it's obvious the purebloods are the ones attack the humans. They're the ones who have the worst time controlling their cravings and lust." Sherry said, quietly.
"I've never understood what your thing is with purebloods, Sherry. Wasn't your dad a pureblood?" Crow asked, raising a brow.
"Yes, he was. He abandoned my human mother and I when I was little because he desired to have a boy, not a girl." Sherry told him, growling a little bit.
"You never told us that Sherry. I'm sorry." Yusei replied, sadly, "What happened to your mother?"
"She passed away from a really bad flu bug she had. She tried her best to take care of herself, but it didn't work." Sherry responded, plainly.
"Guess that's why you've never really seen purebloods eye to eye." Crow mumbled, softly, "So how come all those purebloods keep flirting with you?"
"Don't ask me. They're probably like any other guy...all they care about is what's going on in a women's bra." Sherry said, coldly.
"Not all guys are like that. I rather get to know a girl for who they are." Bruno replied, happily.
"That's nice, Bruno." Sherry told him, hiding her blush.
I wonder...could she...no, it can't be, Yusei thought, skeptically.
In Yusei's opinion, he knew that Sherry wouldn't even consider Bruno dating material. Sherry despised purebloods, which Bruno and Jack were, so there wouldn't be any way that Sherry would have an interest in Bruno.
"I'm going out for a walk. I'll be back." Yusei told everyone, grabbing his jacket.
At a nearby nightclub, Aki and Krysten were hanging out with Mokoto and other guys from her school. Aki felt like a third wheel a little bit. She had no interest in the other guys that were flirting with her. She knew the one thing they were paying attention to were her boobs. Though she wasn't wearing a revealing top, it still didn't cover the size of them.
Uggghh, are there no remotely cute guys at this club? Aki thought, stirring her straw around in her pop.
As she was looking around, her eyes glanced at a guy who had the deepest blue eyes she'd ever seen. His hair was spikey with yellow streaks and he had the softest face.
He is to die for gorgeous, Aki thought, as the guy noticed she was staring at him. She quickly hid her face so he didn't think she was a stalker.
"Hey, Aki, we're going to leave. Mokoto is taking me to the movies." Krysten told her, staring at Mokoto in a flirty wave.
"Wait, so you're leaving me here? There are vampyres around here." Aki replied, flabbergasted by Krysten's action.
"Come on, Aki, this is my one chance to go out with the hottest guy in school." Krysten whispered, trying to get Aki to understand.
"Well, fine. Do what you want...I just didn't think best friends leave each other for a guy." Aki said, rolling her eyes and leaving.
As Aki was walking home, she had no idea that vampyres were watching her as she got farther from the club.
"Well, well, well. Looks like we've got a hot one guys." A hybrid snickered, as they continued to watch Aki walk home.
"She smells so good. Wonder if her blood tastes as good as she smells." Another vampyre said, chuckling to himself.
"Only one way to find out." Another hybrid added, as they moved quickly so they could catch up with Aki.
"I cannot believe the nerve of her. She left me out here to get killed all for a guy." Aki mumbled, hearing a piercing scream not too far from where she was.
She ran quickly to a nearby ally, only to see Krysten lying on the ground bleeding. Aki had to give an honest effort not to throw up at the sight of her friend lying on the dirty ground, dead. The effort did not work, as Aki began to vomit.
I can't...be...believe that those vampyres attacked her, Aki thought, wiping the vomit off her mouth.
"Looks like we're getting lucky tonight, guys." A voice laughed, as Aki turned around to three vampyres walking towards her.
"She's a lot hotter than the other one." Another voice said, as they surrounded her. She noticed the vampyre had the figure of a human, but his eyes were a blood red color and his fangs were showing.
"What's your name, sweetie?" One asked, grabbing her arm.
"Don't touch me!" Aki exclaimed, trying to pull her arm from his grip.
"Geez, you're a feisty one, huh?" The other one questioned, ripping part of her shirt.
"Stop! Leave me alone!" Aki shouted, as the guy who was holding her arm, shoved her against a wall.
The other two vampyres opened her legs to reveal her underwear underneath her skirt. Before the vampyres could do anything, someone came out of nowhere, knocking them all out before Aki could blink. As she opened her eyes, she saw the same guy she saw at the club.
"Damnit! It's that damn hybrid, Yusei. Let's get out of here." The other vampyres said, as they all ran away.
"I don't think they'll be bothering you anymore." Yusei mentioned, watching her shocked, traumatized look, "It's okay, they won't bother you anymore."
"Please don't hurt me!" Aki yelled, crawling in a corner as she started to whimper.
"Hey, I'm not here to hurt you. Plus, it's not safe here, so I wouldn't stay here too long if I were you." Yusei explained, offering to help her up.
After a few seconds of thinking, she hesitantly took Yusei's hand and he gently helped her up, "Why are you helping me? You're a vampyre."
"Well, I'm not like all the others. I don't hate or feed on humans." Yusei replied, noticing her thigh was bleeding, "I should take you back to my place. You seemed to have sat on some broken glass."
"Shit." Aki murmurred, quietly, noticing the pain jolting in her thight, "It hurts to walk a little."
Before she knew it, Yusei gently picked her up and carried her into his home. Aki noticed that it actually looked more decent than the other parts of his neighborhood. After he shut the door, he took her upstairs to the living room.
"Just wait right here. I'll get the first aid kit." He told her, gently placing her on the couch.
"I still don't understand, why aren't you trying to take my blood? I mean, isn't it appealing to you or something?" Aki questioned, still not understanding his actions.
"I'm a hybrid vampyre. I'm still part human, so it's kind of not in my nature to feed on humans. Well, in your case, I am attracted to your blood, but I have my humanity." Yusei explained, leaving to get the first aid kit.
He's so nice. Everything I've heard about vampyres makes them seem like they're nothing but blood crazy, Aki thought, as she heard someone walk in.
"Why are you here human?" Sherry asked, growling and barring her fangs.
"Yusei brought me here." Aki responded, feeling scared.
"You don't belong here." Sherry snided, acidly.
"Sherry, stop. She's cool. I'm helping her." Yusei told her, as Aki noticed he was holding the first aid kit.
"Whatever." The blonde said, walking back to her room.
"Sorry about her. She's not really open to humans." Yusei said, putting rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth, "This might sting a little bit, but it'll help."
"Ah...," Aki mumbled, wincing at the sting.
"There." Yusei muttered, starting to put gauze and bandages on her thigh. He couldn't help but notice how voluptuous she was. Her thighs weren't fat, but they were leaning towards the thick side. She had nice curves and a huge chest. He couldn't help but feel attracted to her.
"Thanks, ummm, Yusei?" Aki responded, shyly.
"What's your name?" Yusei asked, calmly.
"Aki. My name's Aki." She told him, softly.
"Well, looks like I'll be taking you home." Yusei smiled, helping her up, "We can take my D-Wheel."
"Aren't you going to get in trouble? I thought vampyres had special marks on them that Security can track." Aki pointed out, not understanding why she was concerned.
"I have my ways. For someone who's human, you sure do ask a lot of questions." He chuckled, helping her up.
"Well, I'm sorry if I don't want a stranger to help me one minute and then have the possibility of getting hurt the next." Aki rambled, nervously.
"It's okay, just calm down. I'll take you home," Yusei told her, patiently, "Plus, to answer your question. Security only marks vampyres who have been caught."
"Oh." Aki mumbled, as he took of in the direction of the city.

"Wait, so there was a human girl here?" Crow asked Sherry, for the hundredth time.
"Yes, Crow, that's what I told you like twenty minutes ago." Sherry said, rolling her eyes, "Yusei claimed he was helping her."
"I don't see what the big deal is. It's not like he's asking the girl to live with us." Jack mentioned, casually.
"That's not the point! She's not welcomed here! Yusei shouldn't have helped that girl. She deserved whatever came to her, seeing as how she had no business being around our kind." Sherry snapped, huffing with annoyance.
"Okay, where has this new hatred for humans come from?" Crow questioned, not understanding her temper.
"It's not that I hate humans, the fact that Yusei brought that girl here could have caused a risk for everyone. She could go back to her family and accuse Yusei of being a rapist. That girl was the Senator's daughter." Sherry explained, making the two men's eyes grow out of their heads.
"What!" Jack gasped, in shock.
"That girl was the Senator's daughter. If anything happened to her, he'd surely want to eliminate our kind for whatever happens to her." Sherry added, sighing.
"I'm pretty sure she won't say anything. She seemed nice from what I heard." Bruno replied, quietly.
I'm only hoping for our sake that she doesn't put us at risk, Sherry thought, looking out the window.

Once they were in the city, Aki noticed that Yusei had driven into her complex and that she would soon be home.
"How did you know this was my house?" Aki questioned, looking up at her house.
"I thought you'd know that your house has been on T.V. countless times." Yusei told her, smiling to himself as she handed him his extra helmet.
"Ummm, thank you...for bringing me home." She responded, shyly.
"No problem. So I guess I'll see you around." Yusei said, feeling a tad awkward.
"See ya." Aki mumbled, walking up to her front door. That would be the last of what she saw of Yusei.
About a week had passed since the news of Krysten's death came about. Her parents made all the funeral arrangements, but in the process it had broken Aki's heart to watch them go through the pain of losing their daughter. In turn, Aki had gone through the pain and traumatization of her best friend being killed by bloodthirsty vampyres.
I still can't believe she's gone...I mean, I know she completely ditched me that night, but she was still my friend, Aki thought, sadly, glancing at her alarm clock. The funeral had been going on now, but Krysten's parents wanted it to private. She had only been to the viewing a few days prior.
Even though that night had been quite terrible, running into Yusei made it somewhat better for Aki. She'd been thinking about him since then. It kind of changed her judgement about vampyres. Not all of them were bad, despite the ones that killed her best friend. What was more odd and strange was that she could have sworn one night she had a dream about Yusei.
I guess it was just the act of him saving me that made me dream of him, She thought, lying in her bed.

"Hey, Yusei, we're gonna go uptown and get food. Wanna come with?" Crow asked, grabbing his wallet.
"No thanks, I'm good." Yusei muttered, staring at the sealing from their living room couch.
"Are you still thinking about that human girl?" Crow questioned, raising a brow.
"Oddly, yeah. Ever since I helped her that day, I can't get her off my mind. It's weird...I kind of wanna see her again." Yusei explained, quietly.
"Yeah, that is odd man. Well, I'll pick you somethin' up while we're out. Brb." Crow told him, shrugging.
"Hey, before you go...have you seen Bruno and Sherry? They've both been gone an awful long time." Yusei mentioned, suspiciously.
"Yeah, they have been gone for a little bit. Eh, whatev, they'll probably be back later." Crow said, nonchalantly.
After he shut the door, Yusei went back to thinking about Aki. Two thoughts rummaged through his head...could he like her and how come he has the urge to not stay away from her?
Okay, so I guess this went better than I expected. Instead of giving summaries to the next chapter, I'm going to start putting lines of the next chapter as a small preview...
"Woah! This is so awkward!" Crow exclaimed, feeling like his eyes were burning. He couldn't believe he just walked in on them.
So will Aki encounter Yusei again? And I wonder who Crow walked in on Ha...R&R plz.
