Lost

The boy with ebony eyes and hair was seated at a long table in the chair at the very center of the table. And there were plates and bowls, dishes, pans and cups full with sweets of various items, like puddings, cakes, tarts, cupcakes, cookies and biscuits and treacle tarts. The boy smiled; he was in heaven. He devoured into the foods, and then suddenly every other seat at the table was full with people, pretty girls and boys and old folk, circus folk, and woman and men, store clerks and wrestlers, and they were all talking and laughing with the boy. He was the center of attention for once in his life, and he was happy, eating with family and friends, not feeling lonely, not left in the dark.

And then, he heard thunder flash outside of the window. The cheering from his family stopped, and the whole room turned black. The boy couldn't see a thing. He became scared, and he stood up, and scrambled against the wall, and slid down until his bottom was touching the wooden floor. He covered his eyes, seeing nothing and hearing voices screaming in terror. Tears leaked down his face, his sobs grew louder and louder.

He cried out, "Help me! Someone, help me—!" He didn't know the name, but once he had called it out, it felt as if he had always needed to.

Then, the double doors flew open, and everything-the screaming and pounding stopped as a dark figure walked into the room. It was a black shape but brought an array of light with him. The light blocked out the darkness, and the boy with lavender hair removed the hands from his wet face.

"You don't need to cry anymore. I am here now, Takashi Ankoku." The figure said, and then everything disappeared.

A boy with ebony hair and eyes sat up in bed, restless. His eyes were wide and frightened. He rubbed the disheveled bangs in front of his face.

I had that dream again… The boy looked sad for a moment. He looked out of the window; at the shadows creeping along the sidewalk; and the moonlight shining through onto his figure. He clutched the hem of his blankets and lay back down on his side, shutting his eyes.

If only I knew what it meant.

xXx

A cold wind blew through the night sky, black and frightening. And just as that gust went by, a sudden flash occurred and in a matter of seconds a group of people had appeared out of nowhere, just standing in the empty lot that was recently bought and named the Ankoku mansion. The house was big, and tall, old and dark, not much more elegant than the Vampires liked.

"It's just as beautiful as I thought it would be," cooed a woman in the group. Her deep red eyes glimmered in the darkness, staring up at the old house, her long and black hair was flowing behind her softly, and her smile was ever so serene, making her seem the picturesque angel any man desired.

The male of the group marveled at the sight before him also, taking in every dreary detail with a satisfied sigh. He said, "That it is dear," and then turned to face his family after taking another breath of cool air. Red eyes silently observed his two children, and then over to his wife. "Well, my family, this is our new home. What do you think, children?" He rubbed the short black fuzz on his chin, expecting marvelous answers.

His older daughter pressed her lips into a thin and cold smile. The pale of her complexion seemed to disintegrate as the wind pounded against her cheeks, beating them softly red, black hair brushed against her cheeks. The same ruby eyes stared back at the man. She answered with care, "It is a very handsome house father. I thank you and mother for moving us here."

Their father beamed at her. "Ah, just what I'd expect from my perfect daughter. Now what about you, huh Tomoko?" He then looked down to his younger daughter.

Short and cute with the same features, the little girl clutched at her dolly and smiled at her papa. "I love it papa!" she squealed, wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a hug. Together they laughed, while the daughter grimaced in disgust and her mother smiled lovingly. They seemed like the perfect family. Besides the secret the family shared, there was one thing missing, one mistake in their life. And that mistake wasn't there.

It was then that one of the family members took notice on this. The mother looked around, expecting to see a boy with black hair and eyes, shivering in the cold, clinging onto his elder sisters elbow. But there was not a boy at all, just a sad cry from a crow passing by. "Say, Tsukiko, where did your brother get to?" the mother asked, looking quizzically at her daughter.

Tsukiko glanced to her side glumly, and she replied, "He was at my side when we left."

Her father narrowed his eyes, and let his younger daughter down. "Knowing that boy... he probably made a mistake in his enchantment, and mixed up the destination," he said with a scowl.

"So he's lost then?" the mother confirmed, also looking slightly mad. "Should we look for him?" she turned toward her husband. "He doesn't know around the place after all…"

The father said, "No. Let him find his own way here. That boy needs to start learning to do things on his own, he's 16 already and he's afraid of the dark, Kotone," he gave his wife a commanding glare. "Come," he said turning his back. "We have much preparation to do before the night is done."

With that said, his family followed him up the steps. The younger daughter reached for Tsukiko's hand and she said to her older sister, "Sister, is brother going to be OK?"

Tsukiko looked down into her sister's big and frightened eyes. Her sister always worried for their brother when he messed up with their father. What a silly girl, always caring for that screw-up, Tsukiko thought. "Yeah. Don't worry about it Tomoko," she assured.

xXx

"Ah, where could I be?" a boy with ebony hair and violet eyes groaned to himself, because no one else would be lost in a forest at night. He sighed, looking around frantically, and he said, "I must have mixed up my incantations again. I'm so hopeless," he sat down against a tree and hugged his knees close to his chest.

Father's going to be mad at me…

He sighed again. My name is Takashi Ankoku. I just turned 16, and I used to live in England, until, my parents moved me here to Japan. Well it wasn't just me. There were my two sisters, Tsukiko and Tomoko also. Only… I've lost them. Our family left for here many hours ago now… and I screwed up the spell and got lost.

I can't help but think of what bitter use I am to a family of vampires. They won't come look for me, I know, for that exact reason.

He had been wandering through the never-ending forest for what seemed like hours now. His legs had grown tired, and his eyes weary. It was black all around. Takashi felt scared. He didn't like the dark, never did. It frightened him too much.

After a few silent minutes, he sighed.

Why did I have to end up here in this strange place, and alone at that? Especially at night when it's dark . . .

His eyes glistened with fresh tears. Laying his head on his knees, he sobbed quietly.

Normally he didn't like crying outside of the solitude of his room, it made him seem weak. But no one was around to hear him, so it wouldn't matter.

Takashi couldn't stop crying. It was hard for him to, because once he started; nothing could get him to stop. He was hungry, and tired, and perhaps even more scared now than he had ever been. Bad things were all happening at the wrong time. He didn't understand why his parents had to move him here in the first place. Or why he was so different from his family anyway.

His sisters were talented and very powerful, as was his mother and father, and they all shared the clan's black hair and ruby red eyes.

But I… I can't even stand looking into the dark, and I'm horrible at spells. Not to mention I can't stand blood. And besides, I don't even have red eyes.

Bitterly, sunk into his own demented thoughts, the vampire boy soon fell asleep lying against the tree, his face soaked with salty tears.

xXx

A tall boy with silver hair and eyes walked from the scene of a young girl lying on a park bench, her memory having been completely wiped. The boy's name was Ren Makka, only son of the local Vampire family. He wiped the red substance from his mouth and smirked to himself, after just taking his fill of blood for the night, (and his fill of passion) he decided it was time to go home.

And while using his custom route the family mansion [through the forest he came across something oddly peculiar. Hands in his jean pockets, and looking into the darkness, Ren's eyes flashed red.

There was a dark figure tightly curled into a ball, in front of a tree trunk. Though it was a human, Ren's interest got the better of him. He crept closer. And soon as he did, an appetizing scent filled the air. Ren's fangs protruded hungrily. He found himself mesmerized with this intoxicating smell. Never before had he come across one such as this.

Who is this person?

He thought. And why were they just lying here like this, their body open to anyone who came by here, free to do whatever they chose to the young child. Not that it was his job to worry about that.

It was hard to tell, but Ren assumed this person was a girl. However, in the past he had been wrong, bringing up his old roommate, Ren pushed that aside. He leaned over the girl. She was terribly cute. Porcelain skin, black hair and eyes. Typical Japanese girl. God, Ren felt the pleasure way down to his groin. He was so close now... Oh her scent... Gently, Ren pushed the bangs out of her face. The girl stirred but she did not wake.

Ren didn't know what he was doing suddenly. He had already eaten, so what was he doing taking another meal? He was staring, entranced at the pale skin of her neck. His eyes were enraptured with her, his nose with that delicious perfume that was her. She was leading him in and if he was caught, he wouldn't be able to control himself. It was like he was in a trance; all he knew was that he wanted her more than anything else. He couldn't stop his hands from sliding down the girls slim figure. However, when he did, he felt nothing but a flat chest, nothing to cup or hold, and he froze, knocked out of his trance.

What the hell? A—a boy? His eyes widened in shock. Not cool.

It only took Ren a couple seconds to register that this was not a girl before the girl who was not opened his/her eyes and screamed so loud that it frightened all the birds in the forest and they flew away at the sound, and even Ren, who staggered backwards. He stared in shock.

Takashi Ankoku awoke to find a face so close to his he could smell this amazing odor. A boy's face. At first it looked like he was going to kiss Takashi but then he saw those fangs and the unmistakable piercing red eyes.

A... A vampire? What is he doing here? He thought, in shock. H-he almost drank my blood!

Ren felt disgusted with himself. It was a fucking boy. Gods be damned he had fallen for that tricky girly face again! I almost drank his blood!

Takashi stared at him, horrified. He pulled himself together. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" He said, trying to put up his cold exterior.

The silver haired vampire laughed, regaining himself from the shock. "Why? Want me to continue?"

Takashi gasped, his cheeks heating up, and growled, still glaring as Ren snickered. Takashi said, "no, I don't. And who do you think you are trying to suck someones blood like that? You think I would just let you?"

The taller male sighed and stressed his brows with his hand. "Stupid human. This is why I don't coerce with guys... girls are so much easier to seduce."

Human? Takashi's eyes widened. This person thought he was a human? Usually vampires could detect another vampire just from miles away. It was the blood, there was a certain scent to it.

Takashi smirked, "I see you're about as stupid as you act. Do you honestly think I'm a human?"

Ren's eyes widened. No way. This shrimp... he couldn't be like me... Ren thought. He felt so foolish for not catching the fellow vampire's scent. How could he miss it? Normally he could sniff it out for miles away. But this time...

When he had came upon the boy, his blood smelled so... delicious. It didn't appear to be a vampire scent... it was the very kind Ren craved. The kind that made his blood boil. But better. He didn't get it. He only craved human blood. Unless... No. No, that couldn't be it.

Ren regained himself and glared. "So you're a vampire too." He dug his hands into his pockets. "Heh, I should've known." Good job Ren, just play it cool. Takashiscoffed. "I didn't know there were any other vamp families around here other than mine... just where the hell did you crawl out of?"

Takashi felt his body shiver at the question. Ren's voice did something to him. It was strange, and he couldn't explain it. But it put excitement flowing through his veins, through his blood. And he was sure that he had heard it before.

"England."

"You don't have an accent."

"We move around a lot."

"Ah, of course. So why did you move this time? Too many girls gone missing in your neighborhood?"

Takashi gasped inwardly. This person... he was too smart for his own good. He was one step closer to the right direction. He glared, hoping not to get found out. "My family isn't stupid enough to not cover up our nightly affairs." He looked over Ren and added, "although some vampires choose to be careless with their meals."

Ren chuckled. "Oh, so you caught me."

"I can smell the blood on your skin." And it was true, he could. Takashi may have been a weakling, but his nose was very distinctive. A young girl's blood, along with a strangely intoxicating kind that must have been Ren's own, he could detect.

"And I can smell the fear on yours."

Shit. Takashi's eyes widened.

Ren continued. "Are you always this frightened around other vampires...? hmmm... thats quite interesting, considering..." His demon eyes looked at Takashi from a slanted angle, his head was cocked. He snickered, "Oh, have I discovered your secret?" Takashi didn't know what to do, or say. But Ren just kept going. "You look so pathetic right now... I bet you're even scared of the dark." He paused to laugh, only when seeing the look on the smaller vampire's face said, "oh so its true! Girly little weakling, afraid to suck blood, afraid to see it... you're exactly the kind of person that I hate," he growled.

Takashi's eyes widened. How could someone he just met hate him already? His chest suddenly hurt, a lot. And he didn't know why. His voice trembled, "S-so why were you trying to suck mine just a minute ago?"

Ren scoffed. "Idiot. I would die before I touched a man. It's disgusting." And he turned around to walk away. But he stopped, looked down to his right and said, "as for that, I thought you were a girl." Then he looked back at Takashi with a menacing smirk and even more evil eyes.

Takashi watched as he walked away, this unknown feeling burning deep inside his chest. He clutched his torso and grumbled, "bastard."

As he walked through the dark forest, the ebony eyed vampire cursed that silver haired vampire silently. Making fun of him like that... it was unforgivable. Especially for a person he'd just met. He felt sick to his stomach now. He already had enough of that at home; from his father, his sister Tsukiko and especially his mother who'd treated him like a disease ever since he was born. He didn't need anyone else telling him how useless he was. Takashi knew this already.

/cricket/ (1)

The boy jumped at the sudden noise. His dark eyes looked around frantically, hoping to death that some murderer wouldn't come out to kill him. But it was just a cricket. So he continued, now almost running, although he hadn't a clue where he was going. God! At this rate, I'm never going to get home. His eyes narrowed at nothing in particular.

After who knows how long of half/walking/half/running, Takashi had to stop to catch his breath. He bent over, hands on knees as he breathed in and out hard and fast. When he finally stopped and could breathe normally again, his nose caught the smell of a vampire. His eyes widened. It was Tsukiko's scent. And it was coming from his left. Suddenly Takashi started to sprint in the direction of the smell. He was so happy! He had finally found his home at last! He saw light at the end of the forest and kept running past the trees and into the street. The streetlamps were the only comforting source of light standing all alone in front of the huge mansion. And standing outside of the house was none other than his older sister Tsukiko. Takashi slowed down and stood there on the sidewalk. Tsukiko must have come out here to lure him home with her scent, which means she helped him! But she was glaring hard at him as he begun his walk down the long walkway, and part of him wished he was still back in that forest.

(1): I have no idea what sort of sound a cricket makes o.O Surprisingly, it escapes me at this moment. Seriously! So if you know, let me know, cuz I'm dying to know! lol

As a side not, Takashi and Ren don't know each others names yet, so keep that in mind.
