We'll onto the story and don't give me evil glares! runs and hides this is story also mostly probably going to be in Kaoru's prospective! Song used is Simple and Clean by: Utada Hikaru
It was my sixteenth birthday today and wow time has gone by! I have always thought I had a great life. I've had everything I've ever needed and I was well taken care of. My parents where loving and caring but tonight would be a night I found out some terrible things that would change me for the rest of my life.
That night at my birthday party everything was spectacular! My friends and I were dancing and listening to music in my sunroom/dinning room. The two rooms where connected and the high cathedral ceilings made the room seem so huge. The sunrooms walls were bright yellow while the dinning rooms where a khaki white. All the chairs and furniture were moved from both rooms so we would be able to dance on the maple hardwood floors. It was at this moment I wished I could freeze everything. My parents where laughing in the other room while they talked to Megumi…the little Fox! She always try's to get on my parents side over everything. Hopefully she won't tell them about the pool incident! Whoops I'm not going to tell you anything about that…..hehe ok back to my story. So as I glanced around the music softly flowed through the speakers…
As I danced with Sano the stubborn rooster head! I couldn't believe how perfect everything seemed…how could I be so lucky to have nothing go wrong? How long would this happiness last? Nobody has everything perfect but why do I? Maybe I'm just being senile, or delusional, a lot of people could be like me having nothing wrong…only utter and complete bliss!
"When you walk away you don't hear me say,
"Please, oh baby...Don't go."
Simple and clean is the way that you're makin' me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go"
Could this be how my life is supposed to be… I don't believe so, my parents lately have seemed stressed and I've heard them yelling at each other late into the night…Is my happy life finally falling apart? It could be could it? Has my innocence kept me hidden in the dark?
"You're giving me too many things lately, you're all I need
You smiled at me and said,"
It was like yesterday how the Police Chief Saitou visited my parents…could something be wrong and I never knew…
"The daily things that keep us all busy are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said,"
No I can't let anything happen as of yet…I will find out the truth later on tonight but as of now I should relax and have fun.
"Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning is a little later on
Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before"
That's exactly what all my friends did that night. They all held me and cheered me up! I'm glad I have all then but Misao boy that girls is gonna get it! She ate half my cake! And trust me that girl doesn't need anymore sugar then she already has.
"When you walk away you don't hear me say,
"Please, oh baby...Don't go."
Simple and clean is the way that you're makin' me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go"
Tonight was the best night of my life we'll at least I thought so until I heard my parents fighting…usually they start to argue after midnight, but tonight…no they decided right after everyone left they would fight… Trust me the sight wasn't something pretty. I was we'll hidden well that's what I thought…
As I watched my father was extremely angry at my mother, usually he's never mad but the next statement he said caused my blood to run cold.
"We can't afford to get anything or buy anything anymore! Can't you see we have to file for bankruptcy to be able to at least come back? Goodness we can't even afford the clothes on our back and the food in the pantry. Beau can't you see we can't live like this or poor Kaoru will learn of a past she isn't ready to come into yet! We've used all our money to hide her from them…she doesn't even know the truth about her parents for Gods sake. I don't know what we should do anymore…"
"Vincent, I know but I don't think filing for bankruptcy would do anything especially since they have people all over watching over us! They think we adopted Kaoru and you know if we file for bankruptcy they won't be able to believe it since we should have loads of money coming from the Kamiya generation!"
I shivered in fear! Before my eyes my parents were talking about things I have no clue about! What happened to my normal life…It seems everything is fallen apart and there's nothing that can be done about it. Oh god how can these things happen.. Now they're discussing how our kind is counted and everyone is known even if they are in hiding except me…Now this is where I come in. As I stand my parents turned shocked that they didn't know I was in the room.
When they look at my face full of worry and confusion they knew it was time things where spilled. But would I get the truth or would get a partial truth? How much do they really want me to know? Especially if they were able to keep this from me for so long, it seems I was blinded from utter happiness to not be able to see the underlying truth. Nothing is ever perfect. Everyone has there dark deep secrets and it seems tonight I will be crush by guess who!
The parents I love and devoted myself too. They've lied to me for way to long and as I stare at them my innocence starts to chip away. This couldn't be happening to me could it? Why would they hurt me so with their deception. I guess only what they say could be true or not…
When I asked, "Father, Mother, what are we and why exactly are you hiding me from?"
And you know what made me mad they just had the audacity to stare! Oh my god they were staring and I felt as if I should shrivel up and die.
"Answer now because I want answers and I want the truth, no lies and don't even say you're sorry for keeping me in the dark. This time right now is to clear things up and I want to hear you story."
My father took a heavy breath, and as he did I saw the lines of wrinkles on his face…he has never seemed so old to be before. Maybe he isn't we'll or sleeping well. Oh we'll no duh! They do want to file for bankruptcy, so is everything that bad? Wow I really do need some sleep to think things through but I need to listen to what he is about to say.
"Kaoru come here and sit down by your mother…Personal you don't want to be standing when you hear all of this." As I sat I couldn't take my eyes off my fathers grieving face…What have I done? They use to be so happy but now it seems as if they are about to fade away and never return to me." Kaoru ever since you were born we have been hiding you. The reason being you are a Female. A female pure blood in our kind is let's see… 1 out of a billion births. There aren't a lot of females in our kind which make them wanted and the most powerful searching for there female pure blooded mates. Kaoru we are vampires who are from one of the oldest pure blooded lines ever! But we've never have ever had a female vampire born before. Your mother along with all the other females in the family line, have been transformed into vampires. This still makes the line pure since they were transformed.But you my dear are wanted meat. Many vampires will kill just to have you; your blood is what will call millions to our door in a second. The reason for this is because your blood doubles there strength. It will make any mate stronger since you are purer. This is why you mother and I have been hiding you. You come from a very powerful family making you even stronger. So we have used our money and resources to keep you hidden and out of the count. Only a select group knows about you and that's it. We have kept you blood hidden by the necklace around your neck. It seals you power and blood from all; even your real appearance is hidden."
Wow is all I could think of! I've read tons of stories about vampires and always wished I was one and the next thing I did I think I scared my parents to death. I jumped up and down screaming…OMG IM A VAMPIRE! WAY TO COOL! And then I fell over laughing hysterically. I could not believe these creatures I fell in love with were actually real! My parents just stared at me as if I went off to the Looney bin already. That's until all of a sudden I remember all the bad things about vampires. Like how when you find your mate you can't control your urges until you have them, blood lust, had to be killed to die, can't go out into the sun unless you're a high vampire in society, and female vampire's are always hunted down…SHIT!!
"I'm going to die a slow painful death aren't I mom?"
"No, that's why we are going to teach you how to fight so you can protect yourself. It
seems we will have to reveal you soon since we are broke…unless your father becomes
an assassin again."
"No don't do that Dad something bad could happen to you and we all need you help in
this since if I want to live I'm going to need to learn everything I can very shortly."
"Alright then lets get ready I have an outfit upstairs for you." Said Beau
As I went upstairs it seemed as if the house transformed. I have never seen any of these
rooms before. It has if when I found out everything was starting to change around me.
When I got to my parents rooms my mother threw open her closet revealing to me a black
trench coat (matrix baby…lol) and a black stretchable suit. It was time to train and I was
pumped like I have never felt like before!
2 hrs. later!
What the blustering did I get myself into!! First I had an 1 hour of education time that
was fun I learned about all my dead relatives who seemed to be a bunch of idiots as they
got older but besides that they were strong and don't look a thing like me!
Then, wow this is interesting I started to learn to fight then now I'm on the floor in a
deadlock and can't find how to get out! How do I get myself into these situations?
Someone if anyone is out there please help me!!
6 hours later!!!!!!
Someone really I do need help…..I've learned to fight but not we'll enough I'm a very quick learner I know. But I can't beat my own mother!!! I'm so tired and hungry, I've gotten everything down I'm just not use to this and need to go to sleep. This floor is looking very comfy right now. Nobody would miss me if I just feel asleep……………….."KAORU, GOSH DARN IT IF YOU DON"T WAKE YOUR SORRY ASS UP RIGHT NOW I AM GOING TO PERSONAL RUIN YOUR LIFE!!"
…..
….
"WHAT!!!!!?!??! Geez I'm trying to sleep…O whoops sorry mom I really mean it its just that in my sleep I dreamed that you were teaching me to fight and all! looks up at my mom with big innocent eyes.
"Ok fine Kaoru come on lets go get some food and get you ready for bed ok?"
"Yummmm…food can I help cook?"
"NOO..wait I mean Kaoru you can help me another time when you pass your cooking class ok?"
"But mom I've failed it about…..6 times already!!"
