Inu stalked in a nearby alley, eyeing off a group of young muggles gathered outside the entrance of a night club. He waited, patiently, crouching silently with Neko by his side. She was nearly invisible, both by sound and sight, and the only way he knew she was there was the heat of her body leaning against his. His eyes rolled back, he was aching for a kill. And not just any kill; a proper kill that first was hunted, terrified, and then begged for it's life. Two muggles, a girl with long blonde hair pressed straight around her face and down her back, and a boy with black hair with red spiked tips, parted from the group, stumbling toward Inu and Neko. Inu crouched lower, and the two muggles passed them, grabbing at each other as they disappeared, away from safety, into the darkness. Inu eyed the girl, who was wearing a very short skirt and long boots. The flesh on her thighs was not covered with clothing, and he licked his lips, tasting the blood already. Neko seemed to sense his anticipation to begin and so they moved forward.
The boy pushed the girl against the wall and started to kiss her. She pulled away, giggling. "Stop it! Are you sure no one is here?" She looked up into the empty windows of the buildings that created the alley.
"Let em watch..." the boy growled and burried his face into her neck. She shrieked and leaned into the kiss. Then she gasped and pushed him off.
"What?" he asked, and turned to look where she was staring, covering her mouth in horror. Behind a large rubbish bin, Two eyes flashed. What light caught them was impossible to tell; perhaps the moon? Because there was no other light in the alley. "Who's there?" the boy called bravely. The eyes closed, and the boys heart nearly stopped. "Hey!" he called.
"Where did it go?" the girl whispered. And then she screamed when she felt something brush her legs.
"What? What is that?!" the boy yelled. "Show yourself!" he yelled, holding the girl. And then the girl was ripped from his hands with such force it knocked him to the concrete. He couldn't tell where she had gone. The sounds in the alley echoed off the walls. He listened for an eternity, and then he heard her again. She was whimpering, crying softly. "Ilinois?" he called out, surprised by the fear in his voice. It was coming from behind the bin where the eyes had been. He stood up slowly, his legs like lead. He approached. "Honey? are you ok?" he stepped one foot in front of the other, closer, closer. The half moon cast light on the area, and there she was lying on the ground, looking at him, her eyes dull and wet. He smiled that he had found her and ran to her. Then her heard her speak, her soft whisper bounced off the dark walls. "No..." she called in vain.
Inu showed himself once to the boy, before dragging the girl deeper into the darkness. He could sense Neko was already drinking in the boys fear, stalking him even now as he dragged the girl away into the darkness. He had held her there for only 5 minutes, making the boy wait. He had rattled her tiny body so completely that her back had snapped, but she still lived. He now looked down into her face and he stroked the white blonde hair with his hand, streaking it with dark lines of blood. He relished in her suffering and her fear. "Are you afraid?" he growled. Her eyes went round. How could a beast speak? He smiled. "You should be."
