* ''[[VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce EXTRAPOWER Attack of Darkforce]]'': He's the Dream Demon King, a high ranking incubus. She's the 48th generation demon-hunting shinobi sworn to keep him sealed. [[AlmostDeadGuy She's bleeding out]], he has the means to save her life. If only she'll say yes. The agreement has heavy marriage overtones, and her tone with him warms from antagonistic to amicable afterwards. They seem happy enough afterwards, as in the credits montage sharing afternoon tea with other heroes from the game.

* In ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'', Jake falls for a girl from school named Rose. She's later revealed to have been raised a member of the Huntsclan, who are an organization of ninja warriors specializing in the slaying of magical creatures.

* ''VisualNovel/MonsterProm'' does this with Aaravi Mishra, A.K.A. the slayer. At first she merely shows up as a side character that frequently attempts to kill both the player and the romanceable characters (both of whom are monsters), but in the second term DLC she gets her own secret route where she can be taken to prom by the player character before becoming a fully fledged love interest in the sequel 'monster camp' where she's learning to be a bit more amicable with her monstrous peers. It's also revealed that she's actually half monster herself.

* ''Literature/AnitaBlakeVampireHunter'' does this a ''lot'' (starting with vampire Jean-Claude and [[ReallyGetsAround escalating]] from there to other vampires and supernatural creatures). ''"I don't date vampires. I kill them"'' our collective ass.

* ''VisualNovel/MonsterProm'' does this with Aaravi Mishra, A.K.A. the slayer. At first she merely shows up as a side character that frequently attempts to kill both the player and the romanceable characters (both of whom are monsters), but in the second term DLC she gets her own secret route where she can be taken to prom by the player character before becoming a fully fledged love interest in the sequel 'monster camp' where she's learning to be a bit more amicable with her monstrous peers.

* In ''WesternAnimation/ExtremeGhostbusters'', Roland falls in love with a ghost called Syren. The feeling is mutual, but sadly she ends up getting capture in a sort of HeroicSacrifice to stop her evil sister.

* In Sofie Jordan's ''Firelight'' series, Jacinda is a ''draki''; dragon-like creatures that [[{{Weredragon}} have a human form as well as a draconic form]]. She ends up falling for Will, whose family -- not realizing that the draki are sentient people due to the {{Masquerade}} -- hunts draki for sport and profit.

* Creator/{{Natsuneko}}'s ''Nightmare Syndrome'' much like ''Killing Me'' features a {{Tsundere}} VampireHunter named Elysia who seeks to slay Vega who slayed her father. Two problems exist: One, Vega is far more powerful than she is. Second, Vega is a LesbianVampire who's made her attraction to Elysia rather clear, and Elysia is struggling between her quest for revenge and reciprocating Vega's feelings.
