BLOOD+ The New Generation
Chapter I

It's been fifteen years since I had been given the duty to take over for my mother, Saya Otanashi... A dear mother I had never had the chance to meet... And a father I've never been able to know.
She had mated with a free surviving chevalier who once served and protected my deceased aunt, Diva. They said it was unknown how this chevalier survived, since my mother's brother Kai witnessed his death on a beautiful moonlit night.
Another century came and my mother awoke; seeked out the surviving chevalier and fell in love once more. When I came to the world, mother handed her chevalier to me... Hagi.
My name is Kanai Otanashi, and I serve to protect all humanity from the creatures whom are called Vampires.

"Come on, Kai! Let me see the photo of mother!" Kanai begged, her shimmering brown eyes turned to Kai with a whimper.
The old man made a booming laugh, "Sure, here you go." he said, handing the photo to the fifteen year old.
Kai looked down at the girl as she stared at the photo with a smile so similar to her mother's. He grinned, "You look just like Saya... You know that?"
The girl's expression turned to confusion, "What about my father? Do I look like him at all?"
Kai chuckled, "I don't know your father as much as I know your mother." he frowned, "But your stubborn attitude has to match his."
Kanai giggled. She looked over her shoulder to the tall handsome man standing next to the door. "Hagi, do I look like my mother or my father?"
Hagi looked to Kanai with a fuzzy look, "Like your mother... But when you fight, you look almost like him... That is all I can say." he said, crossing his arms. "Anyway, we should head over to the Yard now."
Kanai made a frustrated look, "You always ruin my fun, Hagi... Fine. I'll go then." she set down the photo albums on the table beside Kai and dusted off the outfit her mother had once worn. Only, this outfit was put into a style.
The old man sighed, organized the messy stacks of books lying all over the floor and set up the albums. It was a little bit of a disappointement to see Kanai working alone on this big duty. Yes, she has a twin, but they never actually met face to face yet. After Saya's disappearance in Okinawa, along with the father's, Hagi had promised to watch over Kanai.
"Hagi," Kai called before Hagi could follow after Kanai. The man did not turn to the old man, but he managed to smile.
"I know." Hagi answered, "I made what could be the only promise Saya wanted for me to keep."
Kai grinned, "Just protect her. She's family, and she takes after her mother-"
"Of course." Hagi said, shutting the door.
Although, exchanging letters with a sister she never met seems to be a bad idea... Her sister is in hiding... Hagi thought, watching as Kanai examined a tall fish tank in the hallways of the dark mansion. She made a cheerful grin, "Look Hagi! The fish looks as if it's laughing!" she giggled.
Hagi sighed, but she reminds me of Diva sometimes.

The government agency was pretty much at the top of the game, having high technology and secret gadgets-
"It's all lies to me, Hagi." Kanai groaned, looking out the beautiful car window to the on-base grounds. She sighed, "I'm still new to all this military stuff. I just can't understand why we're always heading to boring plain buildings instead of speaking at the house."
Hagi did not glance to the girl at his side, he kept his eyes close on the driver up front, who was the new guidance for Saya's daughter.
Sometimes, Hagi just wished David hadn't retired. To be honest, David's strict guidance for Saya was always in order and he never arrived late to see the finish. But, this man here, was okay but not as good as David. It was understandable David was very old now... everyone was.
"Now," spoke the driver, Roger, "We're here."
Kanai looked to the front seat, "How many are there, Roger?" she asked in a very serious tone.
"Seven. One of them you already know." Roger said, stopping the car around a large stack of boxes beside the building they were heading into. He got out and adjusted his black suit, "The man who had worked as our scientist and your doctor had been affected with the medicine from Cinq Fleshe, a medicine we're still trying to stop."
Hagi, who was helping Kanai out of the car, looked down in guilt. He remembered, Amshel had sent the last remaining of the medicine to Van and from then on out, it continued to spread... how? The government never figured it out.
Kanai stroked her long hair, "I remember him... Mr. Daniel. Hagi," Kanai held her hand out.
"Yes." Hagi slid off the strap connecting to a long tube from his shoulders and pulled out Saya's katana. Kanai took it and looked down at the katana for a moment, Mother... wherever you are... I promise never to hold back.
"Let's go." Kanai unsheath the sword and ran inside the back door.
