Okay, lol. That's a lame summary, but this is my new story(: Uhm yeah! I hope you enjoy it, it's very interesting and there's lots of love, but there is some action and violence! YAY VIOLENCE! XD
The vampire prince stretched lazily as he rose from his velvety soft crimson covers. He groaned and licked at one of his fangs, feeling the needle like point with his tongue. Swiftly he squinted his eyes and strode gracefully towards his full glass window that covered the whole side of the wall and closed the drapes due to the unwanted sunlight shining brightly through. Hikaru heard footsteps and his head whipped towards his large dark mahogany door as a knock was brushed against it. He crouched slightly in a ready position, just in case danger was afoot. Being one of the three princes destined to become the next king of their clan, danger was highly common due to other noble class vampires wanting the same.
"Hikaru, if you would, come to the dining hall.." A faithful servant called from behind the door. A human who'd been chosen especially for the job that is.
"Yes, I'll be there momentarily." He replied already removing his satin crimson pajama shirt. He lazily threw it onto his bed then headed to his large wardrobe across his room.
He thought for a moment about what he'd want to wear then thought about what the leader would want him to wear. Quickly he chosen a white button-up dress shirt with black slacks and a crimson tuxedo to put over it all. He also grabbed a crimson tie to go along with it. Once he'd buttoned his dress shirt and buttoned all four buttons on his tuxedo/jacket then slid on his slacks and dress shoes he checked his beautiful features in his full-length Victorian mirror then fixed his reddish-orangish in the common bowl-like hairstyle. It's not as if he liked it that way, but if were to live as a proper vampire he'd have to abide by some of the rules...
Hikaru'sPOV:
After I'd checked my appearance which hasn't changed in about 10-15 years, I'd gracefully walked down the hall which was decorated with medieval gargoyle cardholders which were lighted with bright flames. I walked swiftly towards the dinner hall glancing at the candle-holders and admiring the soft glow they'd lent me in walking towards my destination... Kyouya, one of my rivals for becoming king, had just breezed out of his room. He shot a glance at me and paused for a moment to wait for me.
"Hikaru." He regarded me quietly enough for the passing humans not to hear.
"Ah Kyouya, what's up?" I questioned casually. He chuckled, the sound reverberating off the walls of the narrow hallway. He pushed his glasses up to the bridge of his nose then smirked.
"Same old same old... Never growing older, getting tired off immortality and waking up when the sun is high in the sky." He shrugged. "Why? Should something be different than the normal?"
I yawned. "I guess not.. Do you know why Nekozawa-Senpai wanted us to wake so early?" I took a sideways glance at him through my peripheral.
"I'm afraid not, we'll just have to wait and see shall we?" He gestured for me to enter first.
The room was dimly lit, but one of the servants turned on the lights so the room would be lit brightly but not too brightly. Kyouya and I took seats in the large throne-like chairs resting our arms on the wide table splayed out in front of us. A young woman shakily placed two goblets filled with the sweet crimson liquid we needed to survive. Whether or not I accepted being what I am, I knew one thing. If I ever stopped, I could possibly survive, but if I didn't I'd be sent to the dungeon Nekozawa had with Beelzenof their to bother you. We waited patiently for the next heir, but apparently he was having some trouble waking this morning... A short man, who appeared to be a child walked in from the hallway with hazy-clouded eyes. Mitsukuni Haninozuka a.k.a Honey, nicknamed by the servants who'd ever met him, if only they truly knew how powerful he really was....
"Fufufufu... Now that we're all here, we should toast to eternal life.." Nekozawa announced picking up his goblet and holding it in the air.
Since he was the leader, of course we did as he said.. We held our goblets high in the air as Nekozawa toasted to the rich important liquid we needed, blood. We sat down as the servants scurried off towards the kitchen not wanting to see the handsome men consuming their daily drink. Hesitantly, I lifted the cup to my lips, inhaling the tangy smell that radiated off the blood then opened my lips slowly allowing the liquid to enter my mouth slowly to savor the flavor. After awhile my fangs fully elongated as my eyes turned a dark shade of red, blood lust. I swallowed the drink then got up quietly to place my cup in the sink..
"Thanks for cleaning for us.." I whispered softly to our loyal servants making them smile but then it faded as soon as Nekozawa approached them with blood seeping from his lips.
"Where's my Beelzenof? I need to toy with him..." Nekozawa smirked as his blue eyes twinkled with mischief. I rolled my eyes and returned to my bedchambers.
"Master Hikaru! Wait up a moment!" I turned around to meet with Utada one of my favorite servant girls. I smiled at her kindly.
"Yes?" I asked politely with a smile.
"Superior Nekozawa said he'd bring you a gift tomorrow. Do you wish to accept?" She frowned a little. I didn't bother to ask why. The sunlight had just bothered me too much. I did a quick nod of my head and she smiled. "Alright." She waved as she strutted off towards Nekozawa's bedchambers.
As I walked towards my room I couldn't help but to place my finger up to feel my fangs. They were pointy, but not fully elongated. Due to irritation of the bright sun, they were only slightly elongated, but they felt the way they usually felt. I pulled at my tie, loosening it a bit. I scurried into my room then locked the door. This time I'd decided to go to my lush velvet coffin. The inside was so soft, but usually I chose the bed to feel at least a little normal and human again. I laid down flatly in the coffin then looked around at the darkness which filled the room. It wouldn't kill me to at least get a lamp or something. Too damn dark...
Soon after playing the soft melody of my cherished music box playing Fur Elise Right, my eyes closed and I'd drifted off to sleep with the taste of my meal still on my tongue...
Meanwhile with Nekozawa...
He walked in broad daylight with a black umbrella to shield the unwanted sunlight. He walked the crowded streets of the peasant territory. He casually walked, strutted, down the cobblestone'd walk way searching for the perfect one to become the much needed servant boy or possibly girl. He sniffed the air for a pure rich-blooded victim- err, servant... He looked all around and paused when he'd spotted what he wanted - needed - for the present he'd give for tomorrow. He was a good height, nice looking - although he was covered in dust - he had a pure heart and after all he'd smelt the most appealing to him, though others may not agree with....
He strode over to the young man, knowing if he wasn't quick to pounce, the young boy might just run off somewhere in search for his family...
"Young one..." He whispered softly in an alluringly voice. Male and woman both would fall head-over-heels to hear him speak that way continuously.
The younger paused with wide eyes and looked over the taller man in curiosity, fear... "M-me?" He pointed uncertainly to himself then gulped loudly, pulse increasing, making Nekozawa suddenly hungry for a daytime meal.
"Why of course.... Fufufufu..." Nekozawa's voice alluring once more as he looked over the young man. "Yes, yes, why you'll be perfect..." The younger one raised an eyebrow.
"Wait... What?" He asked confused. Suddenly the odd man pulled him by the arm forcefully. "Wait! What about my parents?!" He shrieked looking behind him at his mother and father who were clinging onto each other in fear for their beloved only son. "Help!" He screeched trying to shake the others arm off, but failing miserably. The man was just too strong.
Nekozawa chuckled softly, looking behind himself as he walked. He spotted the boys parents and shot them a warning glance as if saying 'don't do anything stupid'. The young man's parents shrunk back down in a pile of cardboard while the mother cried in fear for her son. The father comforted her with his arm in a warm embrace as he pulled a wrinkly, holed cloth around them both. The young man finally gave in as his strength and hope died down...
"Fufufufufu...." He heard his kidnapper laugh lowly. "Your special, you can play with Beelzenof..." He looked down at the younger and smirked suggestively.
"This just makes you a gigantic pedophile and a pervert..." The younger crossed his arms and pouted while a few tears leaked slowly from his eyes. "I mean really.." He gulped. "How old are you? Like 37? Geez..."
"Actually I just might be older than that..." His eyes flickered an odd color and the boy crossed his arms and looked down.
With an ounce of strength left he called as loudly as he could. "Help! This old fart of a pedophile is trying to abduct me! Heeeeelp!" He called out for anyone, but they were all afraid of the man dressed fancy with his black umbrella raised proudly in the air. "Losers..." He broke out in tears, sobs...
"Oh just hush..." Nekozawa groaned. "I'm not letting you go." He rolled his eyes at the younger. "Look your important and these stupid, err kind peasant folk don't understand that. They'd give anything to go where your going kiddo." He smiled reassuringly as the younger lowered his head in official defeat.
"You sir are no friend of mine..." The younger scowled. Nekozawa revealed a fang then the kid gasped. "Your a v-vampire... A-aren't you!?" His whisper made Nekozawa shiver.
"Why of course.." He wiggled his eyebrows. "I think it's quite sexy!" He growled playfully.
"Rephrase that! I'm being kidnapped by a gay pedophile who thinks he's sexy!" The younger smirked at his own amusing words. The younger bent down slightly and retrieved something. It was a flashlight. "Heheheh..." The schemer smiled to himself. He turned the flashlight on and pointed it to Nekozawa.
"Ahh! Bloody Murder! Don't kill me!" Nekozawa was off in a flash as Kaoru smiled at his achievement. He just barely heard him say... "Death by flashlight how gruesome!!!!" More like a groan though.
"Now how do I get back home?" Kaoru asked himself placing a finger on his chin in concentration.
"Hey wanna hold my Usa-Chan!?" A voice came from behind him. He turned around then looked down and saw a cute little kid.
"Sure?" The odd child placed the rabbit in his hands, he found it rather cute actually. "He's cute!" Kaoru gushed as he felt the fine plush of the rabbits ears.
"What's your name!?" Little flowers formed around his little angelic face.
"Kaoru..." The taller guy whispered with a small smile.
"Kao-Chan!" The shorter jumped on his back in a tight hug. Kaoru giggled along with the shorter one. "How old are you Kao-Chan!?" He said in a child-like voice, which was very adorable...
"Sixteen. How old are you?" Kaoru asked animatedly.
"I'm technically like eighteen, but I look too short and adorable..." He pouted cutely. "My names Mitsukuni Haninozuka, but you can call me Honey!" He smiled brightly as flowers appeared around his face in pink swirls.
"Whoa." Kaoru said surprise in his voice. "Alright Honey-Senpai!" He chuckled as he looked to the older man on his back, he smiled as he reached for Usa-Cha. Kaoru happily gave him the adorable rabbit then as soon as he got it, Honey jumped from his shoulders and skipped towards bushes cut like knights.
"Wanna come Kao-Chan?" Honey asked politely. "We have cakes and chocolate!" He offered walking back to the confused boy taking his hand and pointing to a house - no - castle... I pointed too as if saying 'there?' he nodded. "Come on Kao-Chan, it's too bright out here..." The adorable man groaned. "We can eat cake together, too!" He giggled cutely then tugged on his hand, careful not to use his real strength. "Come to the dark side, we have cookies!" He said humorously.
"Why not? What's the worst that could happen?" Kaoru asked innocently scratching the back of his head as he admired the 4 story castle.
"I wouldn't ask that Kao-Chan.." Honey frowned then went back to cute mode. "Let's just go, this sun is really bothering me... And I'm tired." He groaned pulling at his hand again until Kaoru finally walked behind him. "Plus Utada is making fresh cakes for us in the kitchen area." He smiled then gracefully walked towards the enormous building.
"This weird pedophile approached me today... It was kinda freaky..." Kaoru whispered with a chuckle.
"Neko-Chan." Honey said with a small frown. "Neko-Chan likes to take little boys.." Honey smiled. "Let's just eat cake!" I nodded at the oddness.
They kept quiet as the approached the large double doors with two large brass handles that looked extremely heavy. The guards looked at me in curiosity as to what I was there for. Honey pulled the handles and motioned for me to go in first as he glanced at the two guards with narrowed eyes. They stood up and watched for any intruders as Honey followed behind me. It was dimly lit castle, but very fancy with candle holders and chandeliers with a very articulant mural that adorned the ceiling. Some of the windows were stained glass in pretty vivid colors and I smiled. It was beautiful. Many people that looked and dressed like Kaoru walked back and forth upstairs and some going into several rooms that were in the front area. Kaoru was astonished at the castle, but he knew he'd have to leave soon or his parents would be worried, he couldn't deal with seeing his parents crying over him. Statues stood tall and proud around the main entrance with swords and shields with Victorian suits that looked very expensive, some even with fangs. Kaoru shivered in fear. Honey took Kaoru's hand again and escorted him through the halls towards the downstairs kitchen.
"Kao-Chan do you like it!" Honey shrieked in excitement as he looked up towards Kaoru. Kaoru looked around in confusement. What was with this medieval themed palace?
"O-oh yeah, I like it. It's beautiful." Kaoru murmured softly.
Honey smiled and Kaoru sniffed the air in curiosity. Cake, cupcakes, cookies maybe fudge? Was all that he could make out from the delicious mouth-watering smell that flooded his senses. He'd never eaten anything like that before, so it was a huge change. They passed a room and heard a song that was... different... Why would they play Toxic in a fancy place like this? Then we saw a man with a woman on his arm, who was admiring the place also. The man had ebony hair with silver glassed with a devious smirk wearing tuxedo-like attire. Honey gasped and went behind me to push me powerfully into a room that was dazzlingly lit with fancy thrones and a large table that could fit over 10 people with a beautiful marble kitchen area with servants cooking and baking.
"Honey-Senpai who's that?" asked a raven-haired girl with bright lively emerald eyes.
"Uta-Chan!" He jumped her shoulders and rested his head on hers with a soft giggle. "This is Kao-Chan he's my new friend! He likes Usa-Chan." He said all giggly.
The woman smiled. "Nice to meet you Kaoru, I'm Utada." She smiled and tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear. She held out a hand Kaoru just stared at it, unsure of what to do. Utada laughed nervously then smiled. "Your cakes ready Honey-Senpai." She balanced him on her shoulders along with a goblet and several plates.
"I'll help you." Kaoru said quickly taking a couple of plates and bowls.
"Thanks." She whispered sitting them down on the table.
Honey and Kaoru sat at the table as they ate. Kaoru was staring at the goblet full of red liquids. He was confused.
"Whets that Honey-Senpai?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.
Honey bit his bottom lip. "Blood..." He whispered softly, bringing the goblet up to his lips before swallowing it all quickly. "Uta-Chan, I want some more blood.." He whispered.
"Yes Master Honey." She murmured as Kaoru stared fixedly at the glass.
"B-blood?" Kaoru choked out feeling dizzy. Honey nodded.
"Want some?" He pushed the glass towards him and Kaoru got up from the table and backed away slowly.
"Err..." Kaoru couldn't think of anything. He knew that he had to get out of there though.
"Kao-Chan.." Honey begged. "Don't wonder the castle alone.." He warned with cautious eyes.
Kaoru'sPOV:
These people - vampires - are scaring me. Utada was human but she wasn't disgusted. I took I deep breath then looked around for an escape. When I spotted an open door I zoomed towards it without looking back. Honey remained in the same spot staring at me with apologetic eyes. I groaned and continued running when I'd spotted a staircase. A pause. I panted as my chest heaved from loss of breath. Ran outta there like a bat outta hell... When my breath was regained, my feet scurried up the steps falling a couple times along the way. Several rooms were on the second floor. A servant approached me curiously. I pushed passed the blond boy as I hurriedly went up the third flight of stairs. A door was cracked open as I panted. I could barely breath....
Noises were held from the rooms around me. Screams. I panicked! What did Honey say again? 'Kao-Chan, don't wonder the castle alone...' No wonder they're all psychotic human-killing beings who desire one thing. Blood. The crimson liquid made me stomach twist and churn, suddenly feeling sick, I dove into the cracked door hearing several more screams, other rooms filled with moans. I panted heavily as I entered the dark room. I locked the door behind me resting against the door feeling around for a light switch. When I found it I fumbled trying to turn it on.
A groan. "Who is it? I'm trying to sleep..." A voice groaned out. I slid sluggishly down the door trying to hide from whatever or whoever it might be. "Huh?" A thick sleep-filled voice whispered rising from a midnight black coffin. The man yawned as he stretched quietly then turned to look at me. "Hm? Who are you?" The voice asked, amber eyes studying me closely.
"Uhh?" I shrugged a shoulder unsure of what to say. I pointed to myself. "Me?" I raised an eyebrow at the orange-haired guy staring at me with a smirk.
"No... I'm talking to Beelzenof the cursed one.." I trembled then looked behind myself then sighed.
"That's not funny.." I grumbled at the attractive vampire that was now walking up to me.
The vampire kneeled in front of me. "How'd you get here? It's not safe." The vampire tousled his hair then thought a moment. I refused to talk at all. He might just hurt me... "Look, I promise I won't hurt you just talk to me.." The vampire slowly reached out a hand, I flinched away. He frowned. "I'm not like the others, you can trust me..." He whispered then concentrated. "Well not trust me... You get the point..." I giggled softly then immediately stopped to look down to finger at a hole in my shirt. "I'll let you sit there until you decide when you'd like to speak." He whispered in a soft voice backing away slowly.
Hesitantly, I reached out a hand to grab at his tuxedo jacket then pulled his shirt softly. He paused, looking over his shoulder at me, expressionless. I frowned then let go in embarrassment then he grabbed my hands in his and kneeled in front of me again with a raised eyebrow. I flushed slightly then his eyes went to my neck, it was uncovered due to the loose holey shirt I was wearing. My neck.. He's thirsty!? I whimpered then tried pulling my hands back he took a deep breath then released my hands to sit slowly beside me.
"H-Honey-Senpai... Brought me here... But some pedophile name Nekozawa tried to force me here.. I-I didn't want to go... My mom and dad... I-I want them... back..." I whispered brokenly not meeting the vampire's eyes.
"I understand.. Leaving your parents, eh? I miss mine, too..." He sighed. "I do not know you very well, so I will tell you the story later." He whispered glancing over at me. "Would you like anything to eat?" He asked in concern, looking over me carefully.
"I don't feel so hungry..." I whispered quietly hugging my knees and resting my head on them. He pulled me up and out of the way. A knock on the door and then it opened silently.
"Prince Hikaru, we have your drink.." Utada said softly handing him the glass of blood.
"Thanks.." He took it then opened his mouth, fangs were fully elongated and glinting off the chandeliers in his room. He looked at me and I watched him. He was nice, but despite that he was still one of them... "What? Do you have a problem with blood?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. I gulped and watched as he swished the cup around before inhaling the scent. He placed the cup to his lips then drunk and sated his thirst. Blood dripped from his lips to his chin. He licked his lips sensually then used his finger to wipe the blood from his chin to his lips. He dipped his finger into his mouth then licked it off sensually. "Yes?" He asked looking down to me. I flushed. "Your not aroused are you?" He raised an eyebrow then licked the rest off his finger. "Do you find this... Sexy..." He smirked.
"Whatever 'Prince Hikaru'." I held my fingers up to do the quote thingy. "I am not aroused in any way.." I gulped then covered my neck. "Are you aroused?" I raised an eyebrow like he did. He chuckled.
"No way in hell.." He laid his goblet on a mahogany desk then turned back to me. "Should I be?" He challenged playfully.
"I don't like how you vampires roll... Your all conceited and think your sexy!" I crossed my arms making him frown.
"Am I not appealing?" He asked with a small smirk. I blushed a darker shade. "Well?" I removed my hands from my neck then thought patiently. "I'll leave you be.. You may sleep on my couch if you'd like." He said motioning towards it. My eyes widened. I'd never slept on a comfortable surface before. I've always slept on cardboard. Hell I was even born on cardboard as far as I'm concerned. I nodded then slowly walked towards the couch and laid down. "Goodnight." He turned the light out then went back to his coffin.
"It's the middle of the day though." He chuckled.
"It's a vampire thing Kaoru." I gasped. I didn't tell him my name did I? "It's sort of obvious. Your pants are too low therefore your.." He cleared his throat. "Boxers say Kaoru." I blushed.
"Shut up.." I grumbled shutting my eyes. Why do vampires act so flirty?
Another chuckle then things got silent. The disgusting smell of blood lingered in the air. I laid a certain way so I could sort of block out that horrible smell. Hikaru - no - Prince Hikaru was already asleep.. The room was pitch black, like the streets of where I used to sleep. I only hope mom and dad are okay... I hope that man didn't do anything horrible or repulsive while Honey-Senpai and I went to the castle....
With Nekozawa.....
The tall gothic-like King walked the silent darkness inhaling the air and gruesome smell of the caught onto one scent then followed it. It was the most sweetest smelling of blood, maybe blood type A or B, maybe.. It lead to a corner near an abandoned ice cream shop. Two humans laid side-by-side on the thin cardboard covered in several cloths with feathers sewed together for a pillow. Nekozawa almost took pity for the two, almost. He smirked and looked around. Everyone was sleeping quietly so it was a perfect time to snag a couple humans.
"Delicious.." mumbled a blood lusted Nekozawa feeling the pulse in the woman s neck. "Yes, yes she will be fine for Beelzenof and I.." His eyes went to the man he felt his pulse beating rapidly. Self-consciously Nekozawa licked his lips wanting to take them here and now, but he knew he'd have to wait.
He pulled the two into his arms and flawlessly strutted down the cobblestone towards an empty alleyway. Softly, he put them down on the stones then bit down roughly on the mans neck covering his mouth so he couldn't scream and wake his wife. He straddled the man draining him of all life roughly. He couldn't wait to be polite at times like these. His bloodlust was raging for a specific meal and now that he'd gotten it he couldn't possibly be nice about it. After the males face paled with signs of no life, he went to the poor defenseless woman laying right next to her deceased husband. He did the same to her then abandoned them there. He licked his lips then hurriedly ran back to his castle as if nothing had happened....
And that was the end of Kaoru's sweet, loving and compassionate parents as they slowly died painfully due to the gruesome things Nekozawa had done....
Hikaru'sPOV:
After making sure Kaoru was asleep, I silently walked to where his peaceful face was then tucked his hair behind his ear with a smile. He was simply adorable, but I would never admit that... Kaoru, this Kaoru would be the one that would make me less lonely, make me open up and become normal. But there's no way a creature like Kaoru would ever feel comfortable around a vampire like myself. He'd be afraid to come near me especially when my bloodlust would rise...
"G'night sweet Kaoru..." I whispered, brushing a soft kiss against his forehead before returning to my coffin to rest for the day.....
Err, I think it's okay :( Meanii Nekozawa! Poor Kao:( GO HIKARU :P Is it good so far? Review if you'd like... Show support lol.
Honey: Yeah! Come to the darkside, we have cookies!
Me: Yep, there's chocolate and sugar :)
Honey: *giggles* What Ami-Chan said :D
