"Wise as always, Priscilla-dono. Although... I'm not really keen on turning the Hunters to our side. First of all, a hunter that was turned into a vampire would always place his former life above his nocturnal life. We'll never know that, perhaps, they might even use the new vampiric powers to fight against us. An army of Black Swords is bad enough, but an army of vampiric Black Swords is apocalyptic . These Black Swords are fiercely loyal even in death, that they might see their vampirism as a new and better way to support the humans from the shadows." Kuro bowed lightly as he looked up. "While I am not doubting your wisdom, Priscilla-dono, I think it might be worthy to note that these Japanese humans are extremely bound by moralities and honor. I can personally say this because I lived among them from the Kofun, Shogun Wars, and now. I still agree to your plan, but it might be good to always take these facts into account." the elder vampire nodded his small head when suddenly, he heard a loud thump followed by a series of russian words which might be curses. Kuro shook his head lightly as he looked at Priscilla.

"Priscilla-dono, I know that age defines the hierarchy according to Namtar-sama's rule. However, times have changed. Fledglings no longer want to be treated as fledglings; they want to be respected for who they are and who they can be. If we would want to command a vampire to respect us, then we would respect them just the same." Kuro spoke in a low tone as his eyes were hazy. "At least, that's what I think. However, I do not think that any of my words mean any weight to an Ancient such as yourself." the vampire smiled gently as he turned around. "Things have been very different since you were gone Priscilla-dono. Everything has changed. I'll take care of the russian vampire."

Kuro sped off at vampiric speed as he stopped short of Krov. "Krov-kun... It seems that you're really burdened with something. If we would like to live and work together, we'd need to know one another." Kuro spoke in his usual child-like voice. "Just express your wounds in anyway you can. Hit me, fight me, or, preferably, we talk. We might be vampires, but it doesn't mean we don't have emotions. We can still experience rage, sadness, and bitterness, and when we pile those darky things in our [i]kokoro[/i]... we can't see the forest beyond the trees. So, what burdens you, Krov-kun?"
