1 Prologue: You’re Dead, Young Man.

"Hachi Kurosaki…" an unfamiliar voice called out to me in the midst of darkness.

"Who are you?!" I called out loud, hearing my voice echo throughout the cold, damp air.

"I am none of your concern, human?"

"Actually, 'none of your concern,' aren't you human, as well?"

The voice gave an auditable sigh of annoyance. "Fine then, Kurosaki, let's get down to business."

"Hmm, and that is, exactly?" I asked with visual hand movements.

"You, Hachi Kurosaki, are being brought back to life as a vampire."

"Wait, hold on a minute, Mr. Voice," I said whilst I held a finger up in the air.

"What is it now…?"

"Firstly, a vampire? Cool. Secondly, I DIED?!"

"Yes, you died. Just a moment ago, you died in your sleep."

"That's such a lame way to die, but okay…"

"You aren't bothered by the sudden news that you died," the voice asked.

"Oh, no, I am surprised, and I am seriously pissed by how I died, but, if I am able to come back to life. I'll take it."

"I- uh- whatever. Bye, Hachi Kurosaki."

"Cya, voice!" I said as I gave peace signs up in the air.

I soon woke up in my bed.
