HUNTER + VAMPIRE

VOLUME 11

RESOLUTION

Previously on Hunter and Vampire

Shinji and Asuka go on their first date after a week of dating, which took place in the Tokyo-3 festival. Just when the night was about to be sealed with a kiss, it quickly went south as Asuka noticed Rei, who had returned to Japan, in the crowds. She followed the vampire wanting to know why she gravitates toward her, now the question remains. Will Rei finally concede in Asuka or will she push the redhead away?

Chapter Forty Two

SEELE

Unknown location

Gendo Ikari was standing in the middle of a large and empty room. It was dark, the only source of light solely fixed upon the man's figure. He was dressed in a suit, his red tinted glasses on top of his nose.

Then a large hum started as a hologram appeared in front of him, bearing the shape of a man but gave nothing away about his identity.

"You require an audience with us?" a voice asked.

"Yes," Gendo answered him, his voice devoid of emotions.

At his answer, other holograms started to appear with a SOUND ONLY written on each of them. They were all numbered from 1 to 5 except the human shaped one.

"Ikari," Number 2 said, "You bear news?"

"The Vampire Rei Ayanami is in possession of half of the Angel Tears known as the Ying Yang blade," Gendo said.

"The news does not surprise us," the Human hologram said, "I was already aware of that fact…but the news of what concern me is the location of the Lance of Longinus."

"Have you already dispatched retrievers to find the Lance?" Number 4 asked.

"My source tells me that it had been removed from its resting place," the Human hologram said.

"How is that possible?" Number 1 asked, "No Vampires or otherwise could have controlled its power."

"No vampire could," Number 5 added, "IT will means that the one responsible isn't a Vampire."

"Could it have been a Hunter?" Number 3 asked.

"Quite possibly," The Human hologram said.

An image suddenly popped up in the air in front of Gendo's face. The picture was of a woman in her mid-twenties. The man narrowed her eyes slightly.

"This is Kyoko Soryu," The Human hologram said, "She is the last person to have wield the Lance of Longinus before her unfortunate death. I am absolutely sure that someone with close relation to her could have controlled the Lance."

"What do you mean 'close relation'?" Number 2 asked, curiosity in his accented voice.

"Blood related," The Human hologram said, "It could be brother, sister, cousin…or even children."

Gendo pushed up his glasses. He knew who they were speaking of which made him wonder why Rei had neglected to tell him this. Didn't the vampire trust him?

"Don't you have any information to share with us Gendo Ikari?"

Gendo blinked. It was like the man was…daring him to lie.

"Yes," Gendo said, "The child of Kyoko Soryu. I know where she lives, but retrieving the Lance will be problematic for us for Rei Ayanami had shown interest in her."

"Separate them," Number 1 said, "Do what you must. Retrieving the Lance is top priority."

"If it is what you wish," Gendo said.

"I will send the information to our retriever that had been sent," Number 1 said.

"Understood," Gendo said.

"HAIL SEELE," The voices said together.

"Hail SEELE," Gendo repeated.

Meanwhile

"Why…Why do you mean so much to me Rei?"

Rei looked at the redhead in front of her. How do you answer a question like that? How does she tell Asuka what she really is to the vampire…How?

"Asuka…I…"

The most feared vampire in the world is at lost for words. Never before she would have thought that it would be so hard to speak. It was as if her throat constricted in itself…the words stuck there, refusing to come out.

"I…"

Say something, a voice told her, tell her the truth.

How do you tell her without sounding strange?

"W…What do you mean?"

What are you doing Rei? the voice asked.

Asuka's blue eyes showed some confusion.

"Your question," Rei said softly, "What does it mean?"

Asuka looked away, her face reddening a little.

"I…I don't know," she answered, "It's just that…ever since."

As she spoke, her hand went to her neck, her skin reddening even more and Rei's eyes widened. She remembered that day quite clearly…in fact, it had been in her mind for day.

"I…I just been having these feelings," Asuka continued, "I didn't know how to handle them, so I decided to date Shinji…anything to make them go away."

Rei simply stared.

"And…seeing you tonight…even for that split second," the redhead continued, "All of those feelings just start bursting forward, and I couldn't control them…I…I just wanted to have you near me again…"

The vampire took her into a hug. Rei felt Asuka's arms encircling her body and tightening her hold upon her body.

"Not another word Asuka," she breathed in the redhead's ear.

Suddenly lightning flashed above them drawing the two's attention toward the sky as rain started to fall. The two looked back at each other and a slight chuckle came from Rei.

"I didn't even bring an umbrella," Asuka said.

"C'mon," Rei said, taking her hand, "My car isn't too far from here."

Asuka stared at their joined hands and looked back up at Rei's face, which had her red eyes glowing softly. To anyone, the effect would have been terrifying but to Asuka, the vampire looked beautiful, and without her noticing, a smile was on her lips.

"Okay,"

The two took off running as the rain continued to fall.

Flight to Japan.

A man was seating looking out at the window when his phone beeped slightly. Taking it out he searched what was send as his eyes red hat was sent. The picture of a girl fifteen to sixteen with a name and an address with the word in bold written underneath it.

POSSESSOR OF THE LANCE OF LONGINUS-TO BE ELIMINATED.

"I never knew Kyoko had a child," he said, a light grin on his face, "This should be interesting."

"We are now arriving in Tokyo airspace and will be landing soon, so please stay in your seat," a voice said, "There will be rain showers…"

The man put his phone back into his pocket, leaning back into his chair, his grin growing deadly.

Yeah the danger is growing closer.
