Author's Note: Yo people! I have been addicted lately to vampire fics thanks to stories like From Dawn to Dusk, Blood and Ice and Soulmates. So I hope I'll actually be able to make a decent vamp fic.

Monsters

We are monsters lurking in the dark.
We do not live to kill.
But we kill for a purpose.
This purpose is the reason we live.

Our blood screams and thirsts for others' blood.
We quench this thirst by covering our hands with lives.
The lives of innocent people.
We are hated for this.

But those mortals do not understand how we feel.
It is not we who chose what we are.
It is not we chose to kill.
It is what we are, monsters lurking in the dark.

The students came out of their last class, suddenly filling the halls with adolescents. It was the end of the day, 6:00 pm. Feeding time. Every student's favorite time of the day. The time when the moon came up and the sun went down, the time they could show their true colors and roam the earth ,searching for their prey. Yes, these students are what are commonly known as vampires.

Karakura Academy, an academy located on an isolated island in Japan. It is publicly know as the school for the perfect. Most students here come from either powerful or rich families or are extremely good looking. But in truth, this school is composed of the vicious creature called vampires. In the morning, these children are your average high school teens, but after dusk, they turn into monsters who are let loose by the school into the forest surrounding the said school and are allowed to search for their meal.

This academy is divided into 2 parts, each with its own head and of course, uniform. The Shinigami side, as it is commonly known as, is headed by Mr. Yamamoto. Here they have 13 divisions, every division has its own specialty (like the 12th division is in charge of the sciences), so like most high schools, the students move from one building to another for their various classes. They also have ranks such as Captain, who is usually either a teacher or the president of the class, Lieutenant, who is the secretary or vice-president of the class, and 3rd seat and 4th seat and so on. Their uniform also consists of a black jacket (or whatever you call that) with the school coat of arms and a pair of white pants while the girls' uniform consist of a black jacket (or what ever you call that once again) with the school coat of arms once again and a short white skirt. Both boys and girls have a necktie corresponding to their specific rank:

Captain- white

Lieutenant- grey

3rd seat- green

4th seat- blue

And 5th and so on- brown

Now moving on to the Arrancar side. It is headed by a man called Souske Aizen. One difference here is that there are no divisions, only that every Arrancar is ranked by order in accordance to when they entered the school. For example, guy A enrolled earlier then guy B so guy A's rank is higher (Ok, that was sort of algebra so feel free to ignore that).

But the numbers 1-10 are special ranks given to the most powerful Arrancars. In fact, they are respected to such a point that they are given another name. They are the Espada. The Espada's numbers are engraved on a part of their body, depending on where they choose and when said, these numbers are in Spanish (such as uno/primera when translated is one/first) The uniform for the guys is a white jacket (again with the "or whatever that's called") with the schools' coat of arms and a pair of black pants and the girls is the same except they wear skirts (duh). As you have noticed, the uniforms of the Arrancars and the Shinigamis are exact opposites, the only difference is that the Arrancars' tie are color coded differently due to their different ranks:

Espada- black

Arrancar- red

The reason for these weird ranks, uniforms etc. are based on the heads' on whims. But the reason of the separation of the two sides is completely logical. Shinigamis are the vampires who made a promise when they entered the school that they shall never kill another human but only take a portion of their blood or kill animals, while the Arrancars are free to kill once they are released from the school but they are only allowed 1 human each month.

But they have one thing in common based on opinion, if a vampire finds his/her mate, that is the only person whom they could drink from. It is their choice to kill their mate or not, though this is a very rare incident due to all the passion. This passion is a result to the fact that vampires can only have 1 mate in their entire everlasting lifetime regardless of kind, gender or race.

The way they do this is not by sexual intercourse alone but also by drinking each others' blood. And as I have explained, it doesn't matter if their partner is vampire, human, werewolf, man, woman, Japanese, Spanish or any other gender, race or kind.

But one thing not to forget is that their outer looks are undoubtedly gorgeous, the only reason for this is to hide the ugliness of their soul.


Author's Note: Like most of you have noticed, this is just a prologue as not to confuse any of you with the facts. Oh and the thing with repeating the fact about mating is to remind you that their mate can be anyone. Oh, and sorry if anyone felt offended with the race thing, I just did that to reduce the thoughts of racism.
