Disclaimer- I do not own any of the strawberry panic characters I do how ever own Sei and Nexus and the bloodstone idea.
It was a beautiful night, there were no clouds in the sky and the stars seemed to be shining so bright. Walking alone from a day of classes was a red head woman she stopped at a bench to adjust her shoulder bag. Nagisa looked up at the stars "It's been almost seven years" She whispered to herself. Nagisa would never forget that night how could she, or anyone who went to Astrea hill. Seven years ago this very night Shizuma Hanazono and Miyuki Rokujo had vanished.
Nagisa sighed, closing her eyes remembering everything, their parents had hired the best investigators and yet nothing came up. It seemed the two just vanished off the planet entirely. Nagisa opened her eyes to breathe in the cold air "Shizuma where are you?" She asked to herself as she decided to take the shortcut back to her apartment.
Nagisa went into a dark alleyway but stopped when she heard something, she watched as someone approached her. Nagisa looked up frozen in place seeing the figure. A smile curled from their lips "Nagisa it's been a long time" The voice said. Nagisa looked pale as though she had seen a ghost "Shi...Shi…Shizuma" She said. She nodded "But where… How" She asked.
Then Nagisa noticed something Shizuma had blood coming down from the side of her mouth. Nagisa backed up she turned and just started to run, she ran as fast as she could before she stopped. Was her mind playing trick on her? It could have been since the last four hours she had been staring at a computer monitor. No that was defiantly Shizuma but she didn't look any older!
Nagisa then decided to go back to the alleyway; maybe she was just imagining things. As she went in she didn't find Shizuma she sighed but something was odd. Nagisa could smell Shizumas favorite perfume she sighed and went to her apartment. She sat in bed she didn't have school tomorrow but she did have work but she just couldn't seem to sleep. After hours of tossing and turning Nagisa got up she turned on her desk lamp and took out a notebook.
Nagisa thought for a second then started to write what she thought she saw tonight.
1 Shizuma
2 Pale
3 Blood on the side of her mouth
4 Looked to be the same age she went missing
Nagisa shut the notebook, and went back to bed, she woke up in the morning and changed into a uniform she worked at a small coffee shop. She took a shoulder bag and started to walk to her job. She smiled seeing the shop; she went inside to the back where she punched in. She sat her bag down and grabbed an apron and started to work. She would waitress for a little bit then she would go back into the kitchen fulfilling orders
After her shift was over Nagisa went back to the ally but she found nothing, she shook her head and went to a friend's apartment. She knocked on the door hoping she was there. Sure enough the door opened, Nagisa smiled seeing her friend "Sorry I didn't call Sei I, I just need someone to talk to" She said. Sei smiled as she opened the door wider. Sei was taller the Nagisa she had black and blue hair with purple eyes.
Sei was wearing a black shirt with the Nobody symbol on it with black pants. "So what's on your mind Nagisa?" Sei asked as she turned the TV off she was currently watching a movie. Sei looked at Nagisa who seemed to be dazed, "How about we go to the kitchen and I'll make some tea" Sei offered as she lead Nagisa to the kitchen setting her down at the counter as she made them tea.
"Sei, last night walking home I could have sworn I seen someone" She said. Sei looked at her as she poured two cups of tea. "Okay but who?" She asked as she sat down adding a little sugar as she sipped the tea. Nagisa sighed "I thought I seen Shizuma" She said. Sei nodded, she knew everything about Shizuma from Nagisa. Nagisa then opened the shoulder bag and took the notebook out. She handed it to Sei who read it.
"Sei, do you believe in the paranormal?" Nagisa asked. Sei laughed "Of course I do" She replied. "But you really thought you saw her last night?" She asked. Nagisa nodded "I ran and then I went back and I could smell her perfume Sei and I'm not lying" She said. Sei nodded as she sat there "Then maybe we should go back tonight, I mean you never know" She said. Nagisa nodded "Thanks Sei, it means a lot I'm sorry I came unannounced" She said.
Sei laughed "I don't mind, I mean it's not like I was doing anything in particular I was just watching Underworld" She said. Nagisa nodded "Still, you the only one I could come too who wouldn't think I was crazy" She said. Sei nodded "It's nothing you look tired why don't you go to sleep on the couch I'll go play on my laptop" She said. Nagisa nodded as she took the couch and lay down.
Later that night Nagisa and Sei went to the alleyway; Nagisa went in and closed her eyes she could smell Shizumas perfume. "Sei do you smell that?" She asked. Sei nodded "I do, god that smells amazing" She said. Nagisa smiled "That's her perfume" She said. Sei turned around and backed up into Nagisa, Nagisa turned and she seen two red eyes staring at her. "You're scent is all over her" Shizuma growled.
Sei couldn't move those red eyes had her paralyzed she felt her mouth go dry. Nagisa watched as Shizuma pushed Sei against the wall and bit down into her neck. She heard Sei gasp "No don't hurt her" Nagisa said, but Shizuma only turned her gaze toward her and Nagisa couldn't move either as she felt fangs pierce her neck. Nagisa was so scared her heart was beating so fast and then she closed her eyes she had fainted.
Nagisa opened her eyes she was in a strange room and a strange bed she shot up and looked around she seen Shizuma at the bed. Sei was in another bed with another woman who resembled Miyuki but with longer hair. "Nagisa" The woman said, Nagisa was shocked this other woman was Miyuki. Miyuki then stood up "I never thought in a million years we would see you" She said. "Small world" Nagisa answered as she looked at Miyuki and Shizuma. After graduating Miator Nagisa had moved to Kyoto, "What happened you two went missing" Nagisa said.
She then looked over to Sei "She isn't dead is she?" Nagisa asked panic racing through her mind. "No but she could have been if you hadn't interfered" Miyuki said as she looked at Shizuma. Shizuma looked down she wore a black shirt with some jeans. Nagisa seen Sei stir and her eyes shot open as she looked around she seen Miyuki and then Shizuma. "Holy crap I'm alive" Sei said as she seen Nagisa.
Shizuma stood up and bowed "My apologies for biting the both of you" She said. Nagisa looked at Shizuma and Sei looked at Miyuki "You're real" Sei said. Sei looked at Nagisa "The night you two went missing you didn't vanish, it was vampires" Sei said. Miyuki sighed "I shall tell of what happened that night" She said as she looked at Sei and Nagisa.
"I was passing by Shizumas room when I heard something, I knocked on the door but Shizuma didn't answer I was worried so I went in. I found a woman latched to Shizumas neck, I had no idea what to do so I rushed in and then she pushed me against the wall. She was done with Shizuma so she decided she would feast on me" Miyuki said.
"Story short we ended up being turned into vampires from the woman that stole our life" Miyuki said. Nagisa was quiet she then got up and she hugged Shizuma "My god I've missed you so much" She said. Shizuma hugged her "I have missed you too, When I seen you last night I well I was hoping to see you again. And then tonight I could smell Sei all over you, I was angry" She said.
Nagisa looked at Shizuma then to Sei "Umm I let Nagisa borrow some clothes and she slept at my place earlier" Sei said. Shizuma nodded "I am sorry, If I had been in my right mind I would have never done what I did, you see emotionally I am still tied to Nagisa and well when one is turned the emotions are much stronger" She said. Sei nodded "Its cool but, I have a feeling were not going to remember any of this" Sei said.
Miyuki nodded "We'll erase your memories of this night of our talk or us" She replied. Nagisa stood "No, you can't, Miyuki please don't I've been wanting to see Shizuma since the night you two vanished" She said. Miyuki nodded "I know, but Vampires have rules as well, and we just can't let the two of you walk out of here with your memories" She said.
"You could my darlings" Another woman said, Nagisa looked around and then noticed a black circle and a woman walk though it. Sei looked as shocked at Nagisa. Miyuki and Shizuma smiled "Mother" They said. She smiled she had long red hair with blue eyes. The woman wore a black dress "Hello Nagisa, Sei, I am Nexus I am Shizuma and Nagisa's mother" She said. Sei nodded "You're the siress" She said as looked at Nexus. "That is correct, my young brilliant friend" She said.
"What did you mean we could walk out of here with our memories?" Nagisa asked. The woman smiled "Well of course you could, but in return you would have to become one of us" She said. "No, mother I would not want Nagisa and her friend to have to live like us" Shizuma said. Nagisa could see the pain in Shizumas eyes, the woman smiled "That is their decision, and if I am correct you still need a queen" She said.
Nagisa and Sei looked up "What?" Nagisa asked, Nexus smiled "Please follow me let us go down and get something to drink" She said. They followed Nexus out of the room, Nagisa looked around this was just one room and they seemed to be many others. They descended the stairs and went to a kitchen area. "You live in a mansion?" Nagisa asked. "Yes a hidden one to human eyes" She replied as she made them tea.
Nagisa and Sei sat at the bar as Nexus served the tea "You see, everyone one in my family serves a purpose, Shizuma will be taking over as the next queen of the royal Drako line" She said. Nagisa looked at her "So are you the queen?" She asked. Nexus nodded "But I have been asked to serve on the Vampire council so I will not be able to be home much, so I chose Shizuma in my place" She said. "Miyuki will be her advisor, but, there is a rule in the Drako line, that a queen must have another queen to serve with her" She said.
"Shizuma has not found a queen and the truth was because of her connection with you Nagisa" Nexus said Nagisa looked down "Sorry" She said. Nexus smiled "No its quire alright, you see I never really meant to turn Shizuma and Miyuki it was a twist of fate" She said. "My thirst for blood was high, and then my nose lead me to Shizuma where I drank her blood then Miyuki. I don't like to kill people so I turned them against their will, something else I hate doing" She said.
"I brought them here and I have kept them under my wing, both have excelled more then I could imagine. So when I had to pick out of my family who would be queen I chose Shizuma, after all she was the queen of the campus on Miator. Then I chose Miyuki to be an advisor since Miyuki worked closely with Shizuma" She said. Nagisa and Sei sipped their tea listening. "I will not turn you two against your will; it is a choice I offer you unlike so many of our kind"
Nagisa looked at Sei, she was the supernatural expert what did she think. "What about all the myths" Sei asked. "Just myths, none are true, sunlight use to be but we over came that a thousand years ago" She said. Sei looked at Nagisa "You said everyone had a purpose Shizuma will be the next queen, Miyuki and advisor Nagisa if she chooses would be the other queen but what would I do?" Sei asked.
Nexus smiled "You my dear would be a body guard for the queen and advisor you see the two are always together" She said. Sei thought a moment "How would I protect three people at once?" She asked. Nexus seemed to smile "You would be taught our ways, you see there are some people who accidently become vampires and then there are those who are destined, Miyuki and Shizuma are destined. And I can see that the two of you are the same. But not everyone who is destined becomes one" Nexus replied.
"If I turn I will be able to be with Shizuma though right?" Nagisa asked. Nexus nodded "Of course" Nexus said. "Then I'll do it" Nagisa said, Sei nodded "Same here" she said. Nexus smiled "I am happy, Nagisa since you are destined to be the other queen it is only fitting that Shizuma turns you, Sei since you will be protecting all three it is only fitting for Miyuki to change you"
"Tomorrow the ceremony shall be preformed" Nexus said and vanished in plain sight. Shizuma and Miyuki popped up in front of them "Mother told us your decision" Miyuki said. Nagisa looked up "So does this mean I will call Shizuma mother?" She asked. Miyuki smiled "No the head vampire we call Mother, even though Shizuma will be the queen we will still call Nexus mother and Shizuma will be Queen Shizuma" She said
"Okay Nexus said that you guys could walk in the sun how?" Sei asked. Miyuki smiled " We use the power of the blood stone, one we wear around her neck and another that is placed in the body, each blood stone is placed somewhere differently so no one has the blood stone in the same spot" Miyuki replied. "We won't sparkle will we?" Nagisa asked since she had read the Twilight novels. Shizuma laughed "Of course not, if so we could ever go out in the sun" She said.
Nagisa nodded as she thought of Shizuma sparkling it made her smile. Nagisa then looked at Miyuki "No offense Miyuki but if you're dead in a way how is your hair still growing?" She asked. "One of the skills in being a vampire is being able to change your appearance" She said. "I chose longer hair and to look older, Shizuma on the other hand only does when she wants to feed" She replied. Shizuma nodded "But I think I would look older for my sweet Nagisa" She said.
Nagisa blushed "Wait where did your red eyes go?" She asked rubbing her head. Shizuma smiled "When my thirst for blood is high they turn red or when I'm really angry" She replied. "What about the fangs?" Nagisa asked, Miyuki laughed "We can extend them when ever we want, but normally we keep them normal unless feeding" She said.
"Okay I have a question" Sei said "Nexus said that Shizuma had to choose another Queen why not a King?" She asked. Shizuma smiled "Because the Drako family is all female vampires, lesbian vampires to be exact" She replied. Sei seemed to smile "A family of lesbian vampires now I really like that" She said. Nagisa sighed "Maybe you'll find someone who won't think you're a freak" She said. Sei nodded "Maybe" She said. "You didn't try anything on my sweet Nagisa did you?" Shizuma asked.
Sei smiled "Of course not, Nagisa is my well, Nagisa is my only friend now that I think about it" Sei said. Nagisa nodded "I met Sei in an alleyway beat up" She said. Sei sighed "Yeah, I was dating this crazy Yakuza chick, after I told her I didn't want to join she beat me to a bloody pulp" Sei said. Shizuma nodded "I'm quite tired myself shall we return to my room Nagisa?" She asked. Nagisa smiled "Yes let's do that" She said as Shizuma took her hand and they went up the stairs. Miyuki smiled at Sei "Follow me; you can come to my room. After that Yakuza story I would like to hear more" She said.
