The war between vampires and humans was at its peak. Riku's family had been killed by some vampire hunters, and she continues to travel. She refused to fight against humans because she believed that the war was pointless and unnecessary. Therefore she was counted as a traitor amongst vampires, and most humans hate her because of the fact that she is a vampire. Because of this Riku is constantly attacked by both vampires and vampire hunters. Riku's special ability is to cast fire in different forms and techniques, but she rarely ever uses that ability unless she really had to. The stronger the fire the more tired she gets afterward. She disguises herself as a human and wanders from town to town with nowhere to go. One day on her travels a vampire hunter realized who she was and started attacking her. He shot her right arm and started going after her. She quickly took out her sword and cut him in half as if she were a samurai. The hunter quickly died. "Crap, that was no ordinary gun." Riku's arm was bleeding really badly. "If it doesn't stop then it'll attract the vampires nearby." she said to herself.

Riku turned around to see a vampire with white hair and pink eyes looking at her. She drew her sword. "Do you want me to kill you too?" The pain from the gunshot was too painful, and Riku collapsed from the pain. When she woke up she saw that same vampire looking at her. The vampire introduced herself and said that she wasn't an enemy. For some reason Riku felt like she could trust her. Maybe it was because they were going through the same thing. They told each other their stories of their journeys so far. After that Riku invited Arra to travel with her.

"Don't worry my arm will be fine. It should heal by next week. Normally it would only take a few minutes, but that hunter shot me with a gun designed to hurt vampires." she said. While Arra was changing, Riku kept thinking about how that hunter recognized that she was a vampire. And she also knew that traveling with Arra meant that they would be attacked more often. No human has white hair and pink eyes. "Hey Arra? If we were to go to a town wouldn't people automatically realize you're a vampire? How bout if when we go to a town you wear a cloak so people can't see your face? It would make things safer." she said.

"Wow you do look normal. Thats good. We'll need that for when we stop at a nearby town. We need supplies since we're traveling together." They went to the closest town in the area, but as soon as they both got there they really wanted to leave. The town was for those who were injured by vampires. The scent of blood was everywhere. "I feel sick....." muttered Riku. "I swear I am going to go crazy off of the scent of blood here." Riku really wanted to leave, and she looked at Arra and could tell she wanted to as well

One man drew a sword and started coming after Arra. Riku appeared and stopped him in his tracks. "We didn't come here to pick a fight." she said. She grabbed some supplies from the store handed the man money. "We're out of here." The man stood there confused on why they didn't attack them. Once they left the village Riku felt so much better. She was happy to be out of there.

"Wait Arra! Stop it! The man who killed your family was a vampire not a human! Remember? And revenge is never the answer!..............." Riku stopped held her back. "If you go over there and attack that man everyone else will find you as a threat, and attack you. You can't take on a whole village of vampire hunters and humans by yourself. You'll die.............." Riku started to tear up. "Don't leave me behind like everyone else close to me." Then she collapsed because the wound on her arm reopened and began bleeding. The pain was just too much for her to handle.

"Please don't Arra! Don't die like that. Its a pointless death! Please don't leave me behind!" Riku passed out from the pain in her arm. When she woke up it was 3 days later and she saw Arra next to her covered in blood. "Arra please tell me you didn't go there!" Tears were running down her cheeks. "Are you ok? You're my best friend so don't die on me. Promise?" she said.

"Arra? Arra wake up!" A lot of vampires have the ability to heal others so Riku used her ability, passed her hand over the wounds, and they slightly healed. Atleast they healed enough so that she wouldn't die. But doing that takes a lot of energy, and they had to get out of the area and rest before the humans find them. Almost already exhausted, Riku took Arra and dragged her to the woods and rested there.
