@GeishaGirl: I think so... Since Unending did state that there would be a max of 10 vampires atm. We're at 6 (7?)... I think it's safe to say that this is still open.
Speaking of which, who's waiting for who to post though?
Kuro has been building up a rage deep inside for more than a thousand years... Imagine what he will do when that bloodlust is released.

Kuro is judging you... Similar to this face
If it involves that BS character being a descendant of the Lady's killer, then Kuro would like to go CRAZZYYYY ASS WHIPPIN' irritated on that person.
I feel that Krov and Chiyo will try to rip-out each other's necks at some point in the story.
Kuro nodded as he closed his eyes in contemplation. It was indeed odd that he was the only one who could be called as an Elder; Chiyo was a Greater Vampire, but in the end, the fact remains that more than half of the group were merely fledglings. Topping it all is the fact that there was an 11 year old vampire! She was only a child of night for only a decade and a year; she could barely be of any help should the hunters collapse on them. However, times have changed. Before, only the strongest would remain because of power and authority; everyone wanted to be a Greater Vampire, much less to be an Elder. Just as times have changed, so did the humankind. The humans knew that only the powerful ones were of any real threat to them, hence, they were able to develop intricate methods and systems to track down these powerful vampires.
When the war ended in the defeat of the vampires, most of the greater vampires and even some elders were hunted down by the Black Swords. Fledglings were able to survive because the hunters didn't deem them to be of any threat and would only expend resources to kill them if they would meet one or if a fledgling was running amok. After the war, many of the greater vampires and elders fled Japan, and went off to other locations to salvage themselves. However, those who were too weak to slide between sunbeams, and move unseen by the Black Swords were forced to stay behind. They would escape if they could... If only the hunters would let them.
Kuro thought of these things slowly as he raised his head and opened his mouth to speak.
"Priscilla-dono, times have changed. As I have said, the humans are getting more and more technologically advanced, especially Japan. The humans know that the ones who pose a danger to society would be the vampires of greater ranks. Hence, through the time that has passed, the Black Swords have hunted down any notorious high-ranking vampire they could lay their hands on. In this case, the surviving high-ranking vampires fled Japan to save themselves from a grisly demise. Food isn't as easily acquired now as it was before. The fledglings survived because the Black Swords didn't deem them too much of a threat to waste their resources on; they needed to save what they have in case... a powerful one comes." Kuro made a little gesture with his pinky finger towards Priscilla, trying to make her understand that perhaps the Black Swords were amassing their defenses to counter HER arrival.
Kuro shook his head, deciding that it was useless to try to look tough and gallant.
"I admit. I did try to flee when the war began. I just didn't see the point of the war, and so I planned to leave Japan, and I would have... I would have left if I didn't receive news that the descendants of the ONE who killed my Lady would be in Japan; he was a Black Sword. Hence, I stayed to confirm the rumors. The vampires of Japan grew too arrogant of their ability, and for that, I was disgusted of them. However, I couldn't leave my Lady unavenged and so... I stayed in hopes of finding that person." Kuro continued as he inserted each of his arms into the kimono sleeves. "If in the old times, age and power decided the safety of a vampire... Now, that isn't the case. The more powerful, the more known, and the more threatening we become, the more danger we put ourselves in. We can't simply jump in and kill the humans... It's different now. A fledgling is the safest rank for a vampire in Japan to be, it's the only rank where you can live longer than the other levels. The reason why I, and perhaps Chiyo, are still kicking in this age is because we stayed low-profile. We didn't engage or kill a human in the open, nor did we leave any trace. We hypnotized and placed them in the cellar, and we don't do it regularly. We do it on random times so as to not attract unwanted attention." Kuro tilted his head as he sighed. "In short, the reason why there are more fledglings would be because... a lot of high-ranking vampires have fled, or worst case scenario, been slain."
Kuro rubbed his chin in thought.
"Hisako is talented in hypnosis. She was able to hypnotized a group of men to build this shack. The reason why there are no hunters here is because no one knows of Hisako's existence. She hid herself perfectly that records of this sanctuary is extremely limited; I would even say that most hunters wouldn't know that this sanctuary existed. It's not because they couldn't find out, rather, it's because they didn't bother to do so because the founder is a fledgling, and rarely, do older vampires listen to fledglings. If anyone found out about this shack, they would just deem it as a Low-Level Threat. That is the reason why there are a lot of fledglings but little older ones."
The lad yawned as he continued.
"Speaking of threat, the only real danger that this sanctuary has is you and I, Priscilla-dono. A convergence of an Ancient and an elder vampire is enough reason for them to launch an all-out assault. Should the humans be able to detect our presence, specifically, YOUR presence... Even those children at the shack will suffer. As of the moment, we are the greatest threat to the sanctuary." Kuro smiled weakly as he closed his eyes.

I'm picturing Chiyo doing this
Exactly what was in my mind :) I guess the catalyst for the posts would either be Diminuendo or Mach2
Kuro nodded silently while closing his eyes. Finally, someone had spoken the truth that not even Kuro had dared to speak of for fear that he would be assassinated by disgruntled vampires. Vampires were never a supreme being, they melted under the sun, and they only had a hard limit of 3 days before they shrivel and die should they be deprived of blood. Vampires NEEDED humans to survive while Humans didn't need vampires. Vampires are the parasites yet those foolish revolutionaries dared to upset that balance, hence, the result. Suddenly, Priscilla's eye looked at him, as if piercing into his undead being. Her cold voice carried an ominous message that made Kuro's eye twitch. She wanted to talk to him outside... It wasn't really surprising, but then again, this was an ancient and he was a mere vampire.
Kuro chuckled nervously as his crimson eyes looked at Hisako. "Hisako-pyon, please attend to Big Sister's wounds. Allow her a few servings of the blood, preferably from the serial killer I've captured. Don't kill him though, not yet." Kuro said softly as he turned to Chiyo. "Chiyo-chan, please show our guests their places. And... well, control the flirting." Kuro smiled as he looked at Krov, Karina, and Greyson. "Welcome to Hisako's Shack, where your new future begins. Take one step out of line that will endanger the lives of our family, and I will personally end you." Kuro's voice struck an octave deeper as his eyes flashed red. Then, he smiled and scratched his head while grinning widely. "Well, I hafta git goin'! Enjoy yer stay!" the elder vampire tilted his head as he followed after Priscilla who had already walked outside.
Priscilla was insanely fast, and she was STILL walking. Kuro soon caught up as he dropped whatever remnants of a child he had, and looked at Priscilla with vampiric eyes that was fitting of an elder; his eyes were serious and determined.
"To what do I owe this honor of having a conversation with one of the revered ancients, Priscilla-dono? I shall do my hardest to cater to your word." Kuro nodded as the smile from his face vanished, and turned into a deadly-serious visage of a child of night.

After Krov stated his resolve to change, Kuro nodded as he smiled at the russian. "You're not a bad person, Krov. You've just seen so many horrid things that it has changed your path; it made you stumble. However, just because you stumbled doesn't mean you've fallen. I welcome your resolve, Krov." Kuro chuckled as Greyson seemed to recognize him. "Big Sister, you need to rest you know? Hisako-chan, would it be possible for us to spare a human for big sister? I would believe that isn't really a drawback for us since I trust Krov-kun to refresh our blood supply. Besides, I've already done my share of blood today. I can last until two days from now." Kuro tilted his head. "It pains me to see a family member injured."
Suddenly, Chiyo reacted to his statement, stating that she liked him better as a kid. Kuro faced Chiyo with a grin while scratching his head. "Knowin' ya Chiyo-chan, it's hard to know whether you're praisin' or mockin'. Still though, you ain't gettin' any younger; we ain't gettin' any younger! Hahahaha!" Kuro chuckled as he turned to the youngest vampire, Karina. She was just eleven years old... so young, quite powerless. She needed all the training she could get.
"Karina-pyon. Since Chiyo-chan is goin' ta be your teacher, I know you can become a very powerful vampire in the future. Believe it!" Kuro gave the kid a thumbs up as he felt an immense power come nearer to their shack. Kuro shivered as he already had an idea of who was coming. "Priscilla..." Kuro silently mumbled as he shook his head, only to realize that Hisako was introducing herself again. "Hisako-chan, you haven't said your age again! Someone's gonna get angrrryyyyy...."
A cold voice resonated through the shack as Kuro smiled. The sound of armor clanking on the ground, the black sword... "Welcome back, Priscilla-dono." Kuro grinned as the powerful figure stepped into the room. Armor as dark as an eclipse, a sword that has been rumored to have slain a thousand souls, and an ominous mask that covered half of her face; this was the third of the ten ancients, a group of the most powerful vampires. This was, is, and will be, Priscilla, the third ancient. After Priscilla gave her introduction, she began to ask who was the eldest in the group. Before Kuro could speak, however, Krov did it for him. Kuro listened intently as Krov gave the important details to Priscilla. After Krov was finished, Kuro approached Priscilla. Kuro noticed his lack of height when compared to the ancient. The childish visage had once again vanished from Kuro's face.
"I think Krov has already said the most important details." Kuro nodded to Krov as he turned to Priscilla once more. "I would just say what the repercussions of the war would be. Since the whole of humanity got a grim realization that vampires were real, the ranks of the Black Swords, and even people who dabble in the Slayer arts, have increased exponentially. The only reason why this shack hasn't been found yet is because the only data they got is that the founder is merely a fledgling. If they knew that this shack is housing more powerful vampires, they would have sent their strongest hunters." Kuro spoke without missing a beat. "The humans have already developed intricate slaying techniques, and most of it, they've adapted during the Homo-Vampiric War. They're getting deadlier as time passes by. They managed to cut my ear, and if I was just a normal vampire, I would have been killed. The hunters I've fought were tremendously skilled; they have gotten stronger." Kuro pointed to his ear which had now almost completely grown back. "I am Kuro Nakatomi of the Kofun. A one-thousand, five-hundred, and six."
Kuro bowed as he took a step back. "That is all I have to say. It is indeed a crisis which requires your aid, Priscilla-dono."
Suddenly, Chiyo reacted to his statement, stating that she liked him better as a kid. Kuro faced Chiyo with a grin while scratching his head. "Knowin' ya Chiyo-chan, it's hard to know whether you're praisin' or mockin'. Still though, you ain't gettin' any younger; we ain't gettin' any younger! Hahahaha!"
