Hi everyone~! I'm writing for the first time, and ask you guys to support me ^^ My first fanfic, and therefore I'm excited to write it.
So, just some general information:
VK vampires will include Toya Rima and Shiki Senri. Some other VK characters may come in at some point later on in the story :P
This is set throughout 'Eclipse' in the Twilight Saga.
I think that's all the important information :D Ah, and it may have a little Shiki x Rima implication in it as well, as well at the original pairings from Twilight. Not too much, because I don't think I can write romance very well.
So, let me present:
1. Chance Meetings
"Please remember to enjoy your holiday," Kuran Kaname said, almost serenely. "Of course, gather the information if you can, but don't fret if you can't."
Shiki and Rima bowed, both of their immaculate faces blank.
"Of course, Kaname-sama," Shiki said. "We won't fail you."
Kaname chuckled lightly. "It's not a mission, just a request. Once again, I ask you both to enjoy yourselves." For the second time, the two vampires bowed.
"We shall see you in a while," Rima said. "Please take care. Until then…" She trailed off, and the two of them disappeared into the night.
"What do you think?" Shiki asked, blue eyes scanning the area. "It looks nice."
"I wonder if this place sells Pocky," Rima said idly. She opened her parasol and held it over her head. "I want some."
Rima and Shiki had decided to take a short vacation, going out of Japan and into North America. It also took them away from their modeling jobs, but neither was really concerned. It was just a break, after all. They would be back soon. Thankfully, both of them had learnt English, picking up the language from their various modeling jobs around the world. Now, they were in a place, which, from the brochure that Shiki held in his hand, was called Phoenix.
They were currently standing inside a huge shopping mall, and the two vampires gazed around with detached interest.
"Something feels strange," Rima murmured after a second. "There's something in this mall that doesn't seem… right."
"I can feel it too," Shiki said. He casually reached into his pocket and pulled out a packet of Pocky. Rima turned to glare faintly at him.
"You had Pocky," she accused. "Why didn't you tell me?"
The pair of them were now moving through the mass of shoppers, turning heads with their strange grace and elegance. Rima's clothes were also a subject to staring. Though they looked beautiful on her, they still looked out of place in the 'normal' clothed mall. After all, Lolita-style clothes were not common in America.
"There," Shiki said conversationally. "Look directly to your right."
Rima turned her head, and stared straight into the eyes of a strikingly pretty teenage girl, who had short black hair, yellow eyes and the unsettling air of a predator.
Alice Cullen didn't consider herself paranoid. She was cautious, yes, but not paranoid. But what she saw in the shopping centre that day suddenly made her change her mind.
Alice, being Alice, had run out of things to do, and being the fashion diva that she was, decided to go to the mall. She didn't pay attention to the people as they walked around her, giving them a wide berth. Her hands twitched as her self control wavered for a second, and the humans just smelled a tiny bit more appealing than usual, but then she fought the sudden urge down. Alice had not lost control for a while yet, and she intended to keep it that way.
Though Alice was delighted in the fact that many of her favourite shops were holding a sale today, she could not miss the whispers that surrounded her.
"They're so pretty!"
"I think I've seen them somewhere before."
"Think they're models?"
Unsurprisingly, Alice was curious. She headed in the general direction of the excitement, and saw a male and a female in their late teens.
They were gorgeous, their beauty and charm on the same level as vampires (A/N Alice means the Twilight version). The female had pin-straight hair that was a soft, burnt-orange colour and tied up in two bunches with a fringe and bangs that fell to the side of her face. She had a creamy skin tone, perfectly proportioned body and big, doll-like blue eyes.
The male shared the same, pale skin tone with the female, and he had layered mahogany hair that bordered on being a pale red. He also had blue eyes, ones that hid his emotions and left him looking bored. Both the male and female had the same, indifferent and apathetic look on their faces, and both seemed used to the gawking behaviour.
Alice locked eyes with the female, and the girl felt an uneasy sense of danger from her. Alice frowned, her angelic face puckered. She suddenly felt the need to leave the mall, to tell her family what she saw. Alice quickly left, and when she glanced back, saw that both the male and female watched her go with unblinking eyes.
"Maybe you're just being paranoid," Esme suggested, her soft voice neutral. "You could have just imagined it."
"I don't think I can imagine this type of feeling," Alice stressed out. "I don't know… it felt like… well, it felt wrong."
The entire Cullen family was present, apart from Carlisle, who was working at the hospital. Bella was also absent, since she was grounded by Charlie for multiple reasons, many of them being because of Edward. The said boy – man – ninety year old teen – whatever you wanted to call him – had his eyes closed, frowning. He was trying to read Alice's thoughts and memories of earlier. It was merely three o'clock on a Saturday afternoon, and the day was pleasantly cloudy.
The phone rang, startling Alice out of her thoughts. Emmett picked up the phone curiously. Not many people called the Cullen household. Everyone watched as Emmett's eyebrows rose almost into his hair. The vampires, however, listened to what was being said.
"Hey, this is Sam," the voice at the phone said. "We found two… uh…. well, I don't know what they are, but it's a girl and boy. They seemed a little strange, abnormal. They actually felt a lot like you vampires, so I was wondering if one of you could come and talk to these two."
"What do they look like?" Alice asked. Emmett repeated the question.
"A boy, a girl, late teens. Boy has reddish hair, girl has orange-y hair. Both have blue eyes, and they look like supermodels." All the vampires could hear the grimace in his voice as he said the last part.
"Where are they now?" Emmett asked.
"Well… they kinda wandered into La Push, saying something about a vacation, and then asked if I had seen a girl with black hair and yellow eyes around. I figured the 'yellow eyes' meant you guys, since you're the only ones who have that feature. They're currently at the La Push beach, just kinda staring at the sea. They said they would wait when I told them that I was calling you guys."
"Alright, we'll pick them up at the treaty line," Emmett said. Edward's eyes widened, and he hissed a, "What?"
Emmett shrugged back and continued speaking to the receiver. "See you in ten."
When he hung up, he glanced towards his younger brother.
"We don't know who they are," Edward said in a hard voice. "Why are we suddenly inviting them over to our place?"
"Carlisle did that with Victoria, James and Laurent when we met for the first time," Alice said quietly. "Remember?"
The entire family winced at the memory.
"They are most likely the same people that Alice mentioned before," Jasper said, joining in on the 'discussion'. He turned to Edward. "What did you see in Alice's memories?"
Edward frowned. "Well, they looked like regular humans, except I feel like they're not. I don't know… it's kind of hard to describe."
"Well, can you gauge whether they're dangerous or not?" Rosalie said impatiently, speaking up for the first time.
Edward shrugged. "We should get Carlisle for this."
"Okay, how about Jasper and Edward go and to pick up these two, and on the way, they get Carlisle from the hospital?" Esme suggested. "His shift is almost over, anyway."
Everyone else nodded, and the said vampires disappeared in a flash.
Shiki and Rima glanced up when they saw the two boys called Sam and Jacob nearing them. The two were still down at the beach. They hadn't moved since they first came; only stared out into the glittering water. The one called Jacob seemed to look as though he had a bad taste in his mouth. His eyes were bitter, and his mouth was set into an unfriendly line.
"Hate talking to those bloodsuckers," Rima heard him mutter. The two boys were outrageously big, and though Rima and Shiki were by no means small, the boys towered over and dwarfed them completely.
"There are going to be a couple of people picking you up," Sam said, ignoring Jacob's comment. "I think they're the people you want to see. They'll be here in ten minutes."
Shiki inclined his head. "Our thanks."
When the two boys had moved away, Rima turned to Shiki.
"Do you know what we're doing?" Rima asked, "Because I don't."
Shiki shrugged. "Go with the flow."
"Well, they could be the people Kaname-sama was talking about," Rima said. She shifted slightly, and her boots dug deeper into the sand. Rima had noticed something different about Sam and Jacob as well. What she detected was faint, and she wasn't sure if she was right, but the aura the two boys gave off was distinctly canine.
"Greetings," said a completely new voice behind them. Rima and Shiki both turned once again, and standing there were three males, all with wary looks on their faces. The one in the middle seemed friendliest, though.
Rima took her dainty time studying each of them. They all had white skin, and oddly enough, bright yellow eyes. She figured it was a dominant allele, genetic mutation thing.
There was one with pale, honey-blonde hair. He seemed the most dangerous out of the three. There was just something about him that screamed, "Warrior!" When Rima looked closely, she could make out the faint outline of strangely shaped scars that crisscrossed each other up and down his exposed arms.
The second had copper-coloured hair, mussed up into a messy hairdo. Though he didn't seem as dangerous as the honey-haired one, he looked the most hostile. After a second of scrutinizing, the boy frowned, and his already apprehensive eyes narrowed even more.
The one in the middle, the one who had spoken, struck Rima as the type to care for people. He had an open face and light blonde hair. On his face was a small smile, most likely there to stop Rima and Shiki from being too suspicious. He looked the oldest out of the three.
"What are your names?" the middle one asked, his smile still in place.
"Isn't it common courtesy to give your name before asking others?" Shiki asked quietly. The man blinked, and then nodded.
"My apologies," the man said. "My name is Carlisle Cullen. These two are my adopted sons, Edward" – he gestured to the brown-haired one – "and Jasper." He gestured to the honey-haired boy.
"My name is Tou- sorry, Rima Touya," Rima said, forgetting that in English-speaking countries, the given name came first.
"Senri Shiki," Shiki said, "I don't mind if you call me Senri, but most people call me Shiki."
Carlisle's face had brightened when they had given their names. "Would you like to come to our house for a little… chat?"
The two of them did not look at each other, but nodded at the time same. The group left the darkening beach, every one of them on their guard, and away from La Push, leaving the eyes of a pack of massive wolves hidden in the shadows.
A howl streaked through the night air.
Please review ^^ I will try and update this story as much as possible. I'm also not really familiar with Sam's character, so if he's a little OOC, please forgive me :P
Also, I don't live in America, and have never been out of Australia. Therefore, I don't know what Phoenix looks like, nor do I know exactly how far away it is from Forks or its location from Seattle. Well... I could always use a map, and there's Google... but I can't be bothered -.-
