Pray as hard
Nothing works
Only four
To turn towards
Waiting
Entering
Immobilizing
Slaughtering
Slaying
Dark Night
Black silk-like feathers sprouted from him back. In a short while they clumped and formed wings that reflected even the slightest light. The wind brushes past as he tapped himself off the roof, gliding downwards into the city. The wind circled around him, like a hurricane trapping a tree. A black bird emerged from the abyss. Neck long as a swan, wings that stretched far and claws razor sharp as blades, it glided swiftly with no restriction in the air. Stray animals call out as a warning to the humans who would never understand their language.
Its target was spotted. A man, kissing passionately with a woman in an alley. They were engrossed in their sex game they never noticed a figure which landed deeper in the alley. The woman moaned as her boyfriend brushed her inner thighs under her mini skirt. Too engrossed.
He walked up towards them in perfect silence, and the woman finally seemed to take notice of someone in the depths of the shadows.
"Who's there?" She said in an angry tone. No response answered her. The man grabbed a pole by which laid against the wall, and walked towards the darkness.
"Better come out before I give you a good thrashing."
The woman brushed her hair away from her face in annoyance, but decided to let her hunk do the job. She dug into her handbag and fished out a cigarette and searched for her lighter next. At the same time, she watched him slowly going in. Once he was totally out of her sight though, he made a loud cry. The lady flicked her lighter in disgust to hear her boyfriend scream.
"What do you think you're doing?" She said, irritated.
The next thing she knew, the head of her loved shot right her. A disfigured face looked right up at her, eyes as while as porcelain stared into her shocked ones. She screamed as blood started to coat her clothes and threw the body-less head to the ground. She turned tail to run when something sharp ran down her back, causing her to fall to the ground. Unconsciously, she turned around, only to meet her doom.
Dark Night
Omi sighed and raked a hand through his hair as to keep himself awake. It was already past midnight, but he had not finished his project.
Well, no thanks to Rod…
He picked his cup off the table and took a long sip before continuing to scribble on his papers.
Tegretol is a drug that affects the nerves and brain. It works by decreasing impulses in nerves that cause seizures and pain. It is used to treat seizures and nerve pain such as trigeminal neuralgia and diabetic neuropathy. Rarely, Tegretol may cause serious blood problems. Notify your doctor immediately if you develop any of the following symptoms, which may be early signs of potential blood problems: fever, sore throat, rash, sores in the mouth, easy bruising, or red or purple bruising.
The blonde took a pause.
Teacher's going to kill me for not writing nicely…Oh whatever. I'm so tired I'd probably burst my brains if I continue.
Finally deciding to go to bed, he packed his papers aside and stuffed his stationary into his pencil case. He heard a thump by his window, followed by the lower corner of his room. He stared out the window in a questioned look before walking up to his open window. Outside was pitch black, and he could hardly see the next block, further more there was no moon. The roadside lights were so dim they could hardly help anyone get around either.
Cautiously, he approached the window, when a large black thing ramming into him made him jump out of his skin. He made a loud yelp, swatting away whatever was messing his hair. He could hear soft squeaks, but was unable to open his eyes to the batting which sounded like wings. Giving his final blow, he sent the fluttering thing onto the ground.
Omi finally focused his eyes and sniffed at what he saw. A bat, beating its wings helplessly in his room. He noticed that only one wing was moving though. The other seemed to have an angle at a joint which seemed definitely wrong. He hesitated to pick it up, but he had to do it sooner or later.
He reached down at the bat, but it screeched noisily, causing Omi to jerk it about in his hands clumsily. Omi cried out when it fell to his bed. He made a sigh of relief that it did not hit the floor instead, or else it would have gotten both wings injured. The bat was still making noises, trying to move its dislocated wing.
At that moment, a knock on the door came.
Who'd be awake at this hour? "Come in."
Ran entered the room, peeking into the insides.
"I heard you from the other side…"
Omi shrugged in apology and pointed to the bat on the bed. Ran looked surprised for a moment, and then entered the room, walking towards Omi's small bed.
"Oh, be careful. It's got a broken wing and I think it bites", Omi warned, watching his leader look down at the black furry bat.
The redhead reached out, but from a different angle. His hand came in contact with the bat's back, and he started to stroke it slightly. The bat kept silent, not moving a muscle either. Ran continued stroking, from the neck all the way down the back.
"Seems to like you."
"Don't be ridiculous. Are you going to take care of it?"
Omi thought about it for a moment, the lifted his shoulders in response. Ran 'hn' and picked the bat up with both hands, avoiding the broken wing.
"Hey, can I help? In taking care of it, I meant…" Omi trailed off, blushing slightly at his own request. Ran raised a fine eyebrow, but nodded in agreement. Omi gave a smile and said a goodnight before the redhead left.
He gave a long sigh and jumped into bed, turning off the lights as well.
Dark Night
The next day started off as usual in the flower shop. Bevy of schoolgirls hanging around their favorite florist, bugging them to join for dates and such. The guys were having as much trouble as they had almost everyday. At noon, they were finally free from the clumps of carbon dioxide and humidity killing them. It was then Omi finally got enough peace to speak to the Ran.
"So, what's the bat's name?"
Ran had no answer to answer.
"Not sure. Call it Batee?"
Omi stared wide-eyed. What kind of name is Batee? Sounds like some child who gives a pet one. Ran managed to answer that even though he had not said it out loud.
"It's Spanish for bat."
"Oh", came the short reply.
Ken and Yoji were watching the two assassins speaking to each other, and turned to each other.
"Now what are those two talking about? I don't really remember them getting along that well", Ken said, scratching his head. The blonde beside him gave a loud snort.
"Well, I'd never. True, they've never really talked to each other, but they seem…telepathic. You know, work with each other without words."
"Or are you implying that you make a whole lot of trash while working until the rest refuse to work with you?" Ken teased. Yoji gave a grin which sent a chill down the brunette's back. A minute later the smaller man was being strangled by an arm.
"Mou, can't you two behave?" Omi asked, placing a potted Bouvardia on a shelf just behind the two. The other gave a pause, before Yoji let go of Ken. He grabbed Omi and brought him close, whispering into his ear.
"You are real naughty aren't you? Staying up so late into the night…" Yoji emphasized the 'late' part, hoping that the younger blonde could catch the hint.
"Just what are you talking about, Yotan?"
"I heard you yesterday night, making noises in your room. After that I saw Ran here exiting your room…"
Omi gave a soft squeak and freed himself from the older assassin's grasp.
"Don't utter nonsense! Ran-san and I were doing nothing!" He said out loud by accident.
Yoji was smirking, Ken's jaw was down to his knees and Ran stared in a daze. Omi started to blush wildly, and Yoji gave him a nice smack on his back.
"Well, well, the cat's out of the bag now!"
"YOTAN!"
"Yoji! Omi isn't gay! Stop picking on him!" Ken protested. Brotherly love.
"Ho ho, don't be so sure Kenken! The knowledge you understand Omi is only half compared to mine!"
"And what do you know about me that Ken-kun doesn't?" Omi asked, trying to recover from the recent outburst, at the same time trying to act normal.
"Like you've liked Ran the first time he entered Weiß."
Ran ignored whatever they were babbling about. Omi just continued protesting with the blonde and started to feel slightly lucky that Ken was siding him against Yoji.
Giving up, Omi gave a sigh.
"See? I told you Kenken."
"Dammit! I give up!" Pause. "Stop calling me that."
Talk about delayed reactions.
"Kenken Kenken Kenken", Yoji chanted.
"I swear I'm going to kill you someday."
"Not if I do it first!"
"To hell with that!"
Ken charged and started doing a cat fight with Yoji, and both of them clearly forgot the main subject they were talking about. Omi escaped to Ran's side and giggled a bit when Ken started tickling Yoji at his side, and the blonde was laughing his head off.
"So, it's okay? Batee, I meant…"
"Hn. Doesn't look as bad as it seems. It'll heal."
An awkward silence echoed in the room (excluding the blonde's laughing).
"So um… You take care of pets? Well, you know, you tended to the bat, so I thought you might like animals…"
"Aya used to have a pet quill which always ended up escaping its cage. Once it fell off the table the cage was on and broke its wing."
"Oh."
Their conversation ended when a red-haired lady entered the shop.
Manx.
"Good afternoon boys. Mission's here to start rolling", she said, lifting up a large brown envelope.
Dark Night
Random slides of people lying on the ground, all pale, blood drained from their life. Some had their arms, legs, even head ripped apart from their bodies. Some laid in bloody piles, while others were left clean. The whole room was in perfect silence as Persia gave his speech.
'Weiß, several deaths has occurred in the city. It has not only happened in Tokyo, but other country regions. Even in the North and Southern regions deaths of not only humans, but animals as well.'
The screen zoomed in towards two slides, one White Tail deer and another woman. The screen captured a point on their necks. Both had two puncture marks, very similar, very deep.
'We believe that these are done by what we never knew existed, the vampire. We do not know what they are, or who they are. The information collected helped us only by a little. That information is that it has something to do with an Apocalypse. Be careful, Weiß."
The tape ended with an automatic stop, and Manx removed it from the player.
"I need to know who is in. This mission is highly confidential, as it effects both internal and external of Kritiker. Not to mention, the outside society can be affected greatly by these unknowns."
The redhead received no response from her comrades, and proceeded giving them each a file.
"We cannot be sure that there are only vampires around though", she said all of a sudden.
"What? But Persia said…"
"Yes, I do know what he said. But look closely at the pictures of the victims, half of them were bitten by rows of teeth, not only two. The death rate has also increased five times in the past three months. Averages of one thousand and five hundred people are killed each month."
"Judging by the estimating. The entire human race wipes out in less than two years."
"Are you saying we're up against what Kritiker doesn't even have a clue about?" Ken asked, slamming down the file.
"Kritiker may be providing details most of the time, but not every time, Siberian. Understand that fact. I'll return in a week's time to receive your investigations."
Manx picked her handbag and exited the mission room up the spiral stairs. The rest watched her go, and when she was out of sight, they spoke.
"This is crazy. Kritiker knows nothing, and they think we do?"
"Well, we accepted the mission. Look on the bright side, at least we got something interesting to do", Yoji said, taking a drag from his cigarette.
"To hell with it. I'd rather cramp my muscles running than getting myself ripped apart."
"But we have to finish it. For the good of you-know-who."
"Crap."
"Anyway", Ran's voice cut in. "Just see what you can do. If we manage to catch one vampire, it'll help us a lot more than staying here and complaining."
All of their heads shot up to the ground floor when they heard a crash.
"What the hell was that?" Yoji hissed, stubbing out his cigarette bud in the ashtray on the coffee table.
Ran made his way up the stairs when they heard a similar noise again.
"It's from one of our rooms", Omi said.
"Well, Manx seems horny today."
"Shut up Yoji. This isn't a joke. You should know no one is able to get into our house without the alarm going off."
"My bad."
Ken rolled his eyes.
All four of them were at the top of the stairway when a thump was heard behind one of the doors.
"Ran, it's your room", Ken whispered.
Ran gave a soft sigh. "Yes, and I know who it is."
Two pair of eyes stared at him blankly, while Omi gave a sigh of relief.
Ran opened the door of him room and entered. The rest took a peek inside, and nearly died of shock.
"YOU KEEP A BAT IN YOUR ROOM?" Yoji and Ken yelled.
The loudness of their voices caused the bat to jerk about and screech in fright, making it a harder time for Ran to catch it.
"Zip it both of you, or I'll personally run you down with my katana."
Both of their mouths were covered by a smaller hand which prevented any more noise from escaping.
"Calm down, both of you. Are you that afraid of a small bat?"
"Mmph mph! Mph mphmph mphhh mphhhh!" Yoji said in muffled words. Omi frowned at what he said. Whatever he said, that is.
"Like real that's a small bat! Have you ever seen one small the size of a cat?" Yoji screamed again. Luckily, Ran had already caught hold of the escapee and was holding onto it close to his chest.
"If you plan to make any more noise about this one, get out of my room Kudou."
Ran is serious now, Omi thought.
Yoji refrained himself from making any more noises with the help of Ken gagging him up with his own hands. The blonde pried the hands off his mouth but maintained silence as Ran placed the bat on his bed.
"So um, its name is Batee…"
"Great. We have a pet bat. I'm not taking care of it."
"You don't have to, Yotan. Ran-san and I are taking care of it."
"Well, having a pet might be good for a change."
"You're not supposed to be on their side."
"What? Loosen up a bit, will ya? What do you think it is? Vampire bat?" Ken joked. Yoji growled and chased Ken to the other end of the house.
The bat twitched in its place on Ran's bed, and shifted a little about.
"It looks active to me. What are we going to feed it?"
"Fruits. We can send one of those two dummies down to get them."
"Um, can I come in?"
Ran nodded and Omi entered with a smile on his face. He took a seat on the floor at the bed's edge and stared at the bat.
"Hey, its eyes are silver in colour!" He squeaked. Ran stared down at the back of the bat, then shook his head.
"Actually, I wonder how it would be like if we met a real vampire, don't you think, Ran-san?"
"Hn."
The bat stared directly into Omi's wide blue eyes and blinked.
This week is going to be awfully long.
Alright, this is the first chapter. R&r that's all I can say. Oh yes, the above poetry may sound crappy, but the story lines goes through it. And for those with super sharp eyes, the last paragraph's first letters actually spell out WEISS.
