Disclaimer: I do not own Blood +
Hey! and welcome to my new story! I have had this idea in my head for weeks now and I just had to let it out! This is a Solomon/Saya fanfic. I just love them as a couple. So if you don't like the pairing I'm sorry. There will be mentions of Saya/Haji but it's strictly friendship and blood loyalty things. There will also be a Diva/Haji pairing so if you're curious of how that would turn out...
Let's just say that Saya remembers everything in this story alright? She went to the zoo and all of her memories came back to her, so she now knows everything. This will help me flow with the story a bit more.
I also happen to love reviews (; Oh well, here is the first chapter of Blood Ties.
Enjoy.
"Please you must. You must believe me."
She thought it through. He seemed to be very strong and fast. If he had wanted to hurt either her or Haji, he could have done so by now.
"Haji, leave me alone with him."
"Saya!"
"I'll be fine. Haji…please."
"If that's what you wish" and his arms slowly fell to his side once more. At this He stepped aside and heard while the blonde chevalier asked his queen to go ahead of him, shortly following after her and leaving him behind.
Haji had just left them alone, and Saya couldn't help but feel nervous around the handsome blonde chevalier. As they walked she couldn't help but remember the way it felt to be in his arms, the way they danced so well together, or when he said they had good chemistry.
Solomon sighed. "Well that wasn't very nice. I did like his outfit though." She just stared at him, before deciding to ask the most pressing question on her mind.
"How did you know that we were here?"
"My big brother told me" he answered as he played with the newly acquired hole in his dress jacket.
"Big brother?"
"You saw him in Russia. I'm sure." He had yet to meet her eyes. When he looked up he saw the memories playing in her mind, no doubt remembering her not so pleasing first introduction to Amshell.
An idea popped into her head. Was this all a trap, had he made sure that she was here do that Diva could attack? He decided to voice her concerns.
He chuckled elegantly. "No, I have come all this way to end this useless battle."
She turned so that her whole body now faced him. "Useless…battle?" she sounded extremely confused.
He placed his hand on the bridge while looking over the zoo. "Decade after decade filled with loss suffering and pain. It was over a century ago, here that you started the battle against Diva. But this century old battle is futile for us chiropterans the only ones that benefit from this are the humans. Do you know why this place was called the zoo?"
"No why?" She had moved to his side, also watching over zoo from the bridge. And while they were side by side, she couldn't help but feel…safe.
"My big brother told me a long time ago that this place was once a special lab where rare animals from all over the world were gathered and tested to create a new creature and you and Diva, were no exceptions. Saya—" his tone had suddenly turned darker, and this startled her, for she didn't think someone who looked so pure could hold such darkness in him. "— you two were nothing but mere guinea pigs just to satisfy the curiosity of a man by the name of Joel Golshmith who didn't know what to do with his infinite wealth and endless spare time."
She suddenly felt extremely angry, how dare he? "That's a lie!"
"But how can you deny it Saya?"
"Because..." she hesitated "Because he was nice to me and was always there for me." She looked at the ground, doubt starting to form in her head. "No. He would never do something like that."
Solomon kept staring at the water, ignoring the burning questioning brown eyes of the girl next to him. "You never thought that he was perhaps being manipulative? That he was using you?"
It couldn't be, but then again, she remembered how interested he had always been on her well-being, how he wanted to know every single detail of her life. How she reacted to things, how much she grew, how many blood transfusions she needed. And then there was Haji. Joel had gotten her Haji, because he wanted to experiment on something, about him becoming her chosen one? How Joel rarely allowed Haji to leave her side. And when Haji went to ask for answers to his questions about her, Joel said she was different and interesting. No matter, he still raised her. Right? Did it matter that he had seen her as an experiment?
"But, still… I want to believe in him."
He sighed. "Looks like you were amongst humans a little too long."
"How can you say things like that to me!?" anger laced her tone. When he turned to look at her, she looked down right offended. "You don't know anything about me! You can't even begin to understand!"
"But I do." He stated calmly
"No! You don't!"
"I do understand!" He looked deep into her eyes "I understand because I am your real family. Yes, your real family by blood."
No! This can't be real! She thought as she tried to run for it. And try she did, but a firm yet soft hand grabbed her arms and brought her back, to face him.
"You came all the way here to verify the truth didn't you? The truth about your real family. And to end this fantasy relationship you have with your fake family."
"It's not a fake family!"
"Are you sure?"
"Both Kai and Riku, they've always accepted me. I know they consider me part of the family. We may not be related by blood, but they are my brothers, we're one family!" She shut her eyes, not sure who was it that she was trying to convince "And I will always be my father's daughter!"
"Tell me Saya, does your so called family know that you've been living for over a hundred years, yet your appearance has never changed?"
She looked at him startled, clearly not knowing how to respond. "That's…something I…"
"Do Kai and Riku know you cannot live, without feasting on anothers blood? When they see you consume blood do you actually believe they will still accept you as their sister? Do you think humans can watch over you for decades, while you lay sleeping for years and years at a time?" She looked at him, denial clearly written all over her face. "How long will they wait?"
He saw the desperation written in her eyes and suddenly felt protective of her. "Saya, we are your family. And as your family we will stand by you. I understand that Diva is difficult to understand, but put yourself in her place. How would you act is you had been kept prisoner for such a long time? Would you honestly not hold a grudge against the world? Against the species that did that to you? Why do you insist on killing your own kind? Why do you insist on acting like a monster and kill your family?"
Tears had started to gather in her eyes. He was saying everything she had been thinking for months.
Tears streamed down her face. "I don't want to be a monster anymore."
He leaned down so that he was her height, and looked softly into her eyes. "You don't have to be one anymore. Not now, not ever again."
...
Haji had been watching over the zoo, and he could see the humans as they desperately searched for his queen. He had been protecting her for so long. He hated to see her hating herself and what she was. She should be happy and carefree. But she insisted on fighting. And so he will see her to the end and then, he would fulfill his promise, which he desperately hoped to evade fulfilling. As he sat there contemplating, something caught his sight and he turned to see his queen and the blue queen's chevalier emerge from the trees. He noticed her eyes were red as if she had been crying. He immediately stood up and went to her side, looking into her eyes and silently asking his question.
"I'm fine Haji. There is no need to worry."
"Indeed no need to worry at all. You see Haji; our dearest red queen has come to a decision. Would you mind telling him dear Saya?"
She looked at Solomon and smiled. Haji didn't like that smile so he silently glared. Then when Saya came to stand before him, he gave her his undivided attention.
"I decided that I don't want to fight anymore Haji. I want to live in peace. I want to experience the world and what it means to have a family. A real family. I want to get to know my real sister; I want to be able to understand her. I don't want to fight her anymore. Although I don't know if I ever really wanted to fight or kill her at all."
"Saya…"
"I know it's shocking, and that it's coming out of nowhere, but Solomon's right. I don't belong with the humans. I belong amongst my kind. Chiropterans like you and Solomon and Diva."
"Saya…are you sure?"
"As sure as I've ever been. Haji…I don't want to be a monster anymore."
"If that is what you wish." And he meant it. He stared at her face and he saw her smile. A real smile that he hadn't seen for a couple of weeks. He also saw how it seemed like a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She looked…happy. And he was happy. Happy that she was coming to terms with whom she was, and since the blonde chevalier seemed to help her, maybe, just maybe, he wasn't that bad. However he disliked the way the other chevalier looker at his queen.
"Solomon. Would you please take us to my sister? I wish to talk to her."
Suddenly a new voice appeared.
"There is no need for that Solomon. Here I am."
