Once gods and demons were of one existence.
They were sealed off into the depth of darkness, by humans who feared the 
darkness..  
They're called Shinma.  Now they have waken up from sleepand are gathering.
In the final night when the darkness, Shinma, and humans are brought together, 
a girl wonder in and the story begins.

Vampire Girl Miyu

If Kyoko is to be referred as an old capital of Kansai, here Kamakura could 
be referred as the old capital of Kanto.  

Out of whim, I was visiting this town where I spent several months of my 
girlhood.

this hill..  this was it..   
this was the hill.  it's still stuck in my memory..  

a certain memory drew me to this hill road..

By the time I realized, I was in my bed....  I always thought it was a dream 
but..  

if my memory is correct, the house was on top of the hill.

Episode 4 -"Frozen Time"

What's this?!

So, you can see them, after all...

ice?..  Glass?!  The room is filled with glass?  I saw something really 
frightening..  

probably here..  those were Shinma...  I knew I'd find you here.

Why are you chasing after me?

I can't forgive you, who'd drink people's live blood!

But I need blood, just like you breath air, and eat food..  

and give eternity..  Don't you want eternal life?

You gotta be kidding.

You're..  Himiko-san..  
I see..   Now I see....

Cut it out.

You know?  There are people who don't change by having their blood drank once. 

They continue to grow normal, and one day, suddenly their blood, like mine, 
wake up.  

There are humans of the same type as mine.

The type that wouldn't wake up, if you don't exist right?

Poor lady..  You only can measure the world by your own standard can't you?..  

You look like you're trying hard to claim you're human.

Then, who are you?

You'll forget anyway, so oh well..  they are my parents.  
this was my home.

Miyu, supper!

Yes!

Today teacher said to write about my family.  I had so much trouble..  

Dad is always home, not like my friends'....

It's alright.  Dad's work is to protect this home we inherited from 
grandfather.

what happened to your finger?

Oh, Pipi bit me.  it's not bleeding.

Then, it's OK.

Mom

what is it, hoeny?

Does dad love me?...

Oh..  your father and I always think precious of you.

You know, dad.  Emi-chan and 
Ai-chan want to be painter.  
And Akiko-chan is teacher.  

Dad like paintings, right?  I wanna be painter, too.

You can't..

Why?

You can't become anything when you grow up.  That's already decided.

Why?

Dad.  Where's mom?

I don't know...

You bought another painting?

Paintings are great.  They can capture the beauty forever.

That's true..  but I think the sea is beautiful because it's always different. 

An instant that's different from others, is beautiful. 
Mom!

you're late..

I was looking at the sea.  it was bit scary.  I felt like something might take
me away.

I'm sorry...  I'll come straight home from now on..

Dear...

that's what I wanted.  How old is Miyu now?

13 years old...

I see..

That was just a dream..  it was a dream.  Forget about it, Miyu...

You have to forget about it..  Please forget....

Somebody's lying there!!

scary..

which class is she in?

Wonder what happened, you know?   You know something?

I don't know...  I don't know anything...

Lavar!!  Where are you, 
Lavar?!  Why did I have do that?!  

I don't want any blood..  I just thought she's cute, and my body just moved 
by itself..  

What's happening to me?!  I don't wanna be vampire..  but my throat is so 
thirsty.

I'm done..

Miyu, did you ate enough?  I heard there was an unpleasant incident in your 
school..

It was just an anemia..  She was taken to the hospital.

And she died shortly after.

Really?!

Do you know her?

No.....

I see..

Does mom know about that or...  
no she mustn't find out...  

there is reflection...  I'm not scared, but sometimes I want blood so badly.  

No.  I'm not going to drink anymore!  That's right.

Has she woken up yet?  She has, hasn't she?

No..

Day for the succession is getting close.

It's still too early for her!

mom....   what's wrong?..  
You're frightened about something too?  

ou.. blood.. my blood.. it's same as other people, too...

Is he gone?

Dear, about Miyu.

Can we talk about that later?

later?

I have more than enough time.. 
eternal time..

Wow, it sure is really big yard.  It must be hard to maintain it. what is it?

Sorry I dropped by without telling you...

It's OK.

Oh good..

Say, why don't you come in for a tea?

Actually, I'm here to ask you a favor.

What is it?

Have you ever thought about death?  I think about it these days..  

You know, with all those news about wars and things like that?  I don't wanna 
die yet..  

I got lots of things I want to do...  but there's no way of telling when I'll 
die, right?  

Nobody do.  I saw it that day. 
Vampire can give eternal life to those they drank blood from, right?

What're you talking about?..

It's pretty romantic, don't you think?

Cut it out...

It's OK.  Say, drink my blood.  
And will you give me what I want?

Cut it out!  I'm not vampire.  
I'm human.

but you were drinking blood, weren't you?  she died.

Please stop..  Akiko....

Miyu.. A.. are you serious?..

Mom already knew..  you knew everything.  Mom is vampire, right?  That's why 
I'm...

You are human.

But I'm not!  How can I stop this thirst?!  I don't want any blood..  mom?!

Drink this blood..  But make this last one.  You're human.

No!  I'm not drinking.

If you don't, somebody will die in school tomorrow.

No!..  Mom?!  What about Akiko?!

I sent her home.

No way!  This's Akiko's blood, right?!  Did you kill Akiko, didn't you?!  

I don't want it..   Please take it away!!

They're here...

She's not ready yet.

What's this?...

The time has come...

The time for what?

They are Shinma, the same kind as us.

We, who were once feared as both god and demon, left the ground for human, 
and lived in the bottom of deep darkness.  And only one family left behind on 
the ground, as a observer to ensure that their people's sleep in the darkness 
go undisturbed.

The observer left on ground.  
That's us, Miyu..

observer?...

You have to succeed the duty according to the rule of your blood...  

Tonight, is the night that darkness and Shinma gather.

What're you talking about, mom?   What do you mean?

That's right.  Tonight, you will be recognized as Shinma.

I'm not Shinma.

How was the taste of a maiden?  
Your body and fangs shouldn't have forgotten the sensation.  

Your family is not immortal.  
You grow old and die.

because we're human.

So the succession of the observer is necessary.

In return, you will be free of all the restraint as vampire, and will given a 
power to give humans immortality.  Not take away life, but to give.  

That is Shinma.  Now receive my baptism.

Are you trying to terminate the blood of observer?!

Miyu, run!

You're one of the race that betrayed us?!

Mom, dad and Lavar is..

I'm not letting you get away...

Run, Miyu!

Why did you help me?

I'm your mother.

but.

Miyu, you're human.  I'm not letting anybody call you sinful child.

no..  water won't work.  
thirst isn't going away.  Help me.

Miyu, I'll protect you, so please don't you ever drink blood again.

I don't want to either!  But people always want.. Everybody want eternal life,
right?

You said once that the sea's instant that's always different is beautiful.  

Human is the same.  Because there's death, there's beauty in life.  

I loved him, so I gave him the eternal life.

Dad?

Miyu, we, ourselves, can't live forever.  

He doesn't know the death, so he's so spiritless.  Miyu, you know how 
lifeless he is?  

He doesn't know what he's living for.  Always detached from the real world.  

The more I love him, the more regretful I become of my mistake..  

In attempt to give happiness, we're making humans misfortune.

I'll let you escape from this destiny even at the cost of my life.  You'll be 
OK.  

I'll be with you.  You just choose the path.  they're coming!

Mom, what do we do?  I'm still thirsty.  I can't make it!

Miyu..  I love you..  Please endure it..

I probably can't make the choice.....

Miyu....  you're....
      
this blood.. that was mom's.

My father and mother weren't dead, but their souls were sealed off.  

They offered me a condition to break the seal.  

I hunt down all stray Shinma that got loose when my mother and I ran away, 
and they'll break the seal.  
To accomplish the task, my time was stopped also.  

To accomplish the task even if it takes several hundred years.

When the seal breaks, will you..  be formally become observer, though.

I want to tell one thing to mom..

What's that?...  Miyu?..  
Miyu!

Oh, I was..  Sure.. I was here to check about the dream..  

if the memory is correct, the house was on top of the hill.  
Guess not..

There are people who don't change by having their blood drank once.  

They continue to grow normal, and one day, suddenly their blood, like mine, 
wake up.

Who's that?!

No, I didn't run that time.  I didn't run and turned around.  
Miyu..  That was Miyu..  

Miyu was there that time, too...  the exact same appearance still now.....
