Chapter 2: Crimsons eyes witch
Two female figures, wearing black robes, walked along a hall adorned with paintings of old women in their same robes. The halls were lighted by small blue flames that were stuck as rock on the sides of the walls. One of young woman was a busty orange-haired who wore a fire stirring ruby necklace while the other redhead wore a green gem necklace.
"I can't believe you actually convinced those vampires to host for us…" Mai stated astonish to Midori.
"I can be very convincing sometimes. Besides asking the favor to Youko at the right moment, I knew she wouldn't refuse." Midori replied with a smirk while Mai just try to laugh at such bold reply, "And knowing her, she might tell that Kruger vampire after she had been fed."
"You do realize that Mikoto and I are one of the three main persons who will –"
"Of course I know, that's why I trust Youko to keep you away from Zhang and Kruger!" Midori cut her off, quiet offended when Mai looked doubtfully.
"I still can't believe it Mashiro-san accepted." Mai whispered, still surprised at what had happen.
"Shizuru-onee-sama!!" called Tomoe as she saw her beloved crush walking gracefully along the halls of the Himes's Witch school.
"Marguerite-san, how nice to see you." greeted Shizuru, around her neck was a necklace with a gem called the bewitching amethyst.
"I wanted to congratulate you, for becoming the best Hime so far." Tomoe praised with a smile.
"Ookini, I hope to see you in the ball later then, Marguerite-san." with that Shizuru left.
At the end of the halls, in the secret chamber two figures stood quietly in the dark room. Drinking tea quietly, Mashiro watched her students on her magic mirror. Besides her stood Fumi, who stayed quietly at her side.
"I wonder, if it was the right decision to let the vampire host our celebration?" wondered Mashiro.
"It will help us and our werewolves to get along better; after all we need their help for the incoming battle." Fumi answered calmly.
Meanwhile, arrangements and decorations with some witch-y charms were put around the ball room of the Mistress Vampire's mansion. Youko and Reito controlled that everything went well while Yukino checked the guest, leaving Nao and Natsuki free for some fun.
"So tell me, Nao why aren't you hunting men or something like that?" asked Natsuki curiously.
They were sitting on the throne room, quietly drinking tea with a mix of blood.
"I…I…is nothing." Nao said, avoiding her Sire's look.
"You know, if you prefer women more than men, its ok." Natsuki teased with a smirk as she saw her child spitting the tea out of her mouth.
"You-You!" she pointed at the raven-haired vampire till Mashiro and Fumi interrupted their incoming quarrel.
"I hope, I didn't interrupt anything at all, Mistress Kruger." Mashiro said politely, "but I suppose we should talk about the arrangement of tonight?"
"My other children are already in it," Natsuki hastily walked behind Mashiro and whispered in her ear, "Kruger-san its fine, little witch," she stroke her hair, "I wouldn't be able to control myself, if you call me Mistress again." After that she was back on her sit, leaving Fumi holding a stunned Mashiro, "Go to the ball room, tell Youko what's its needed. She will obey you, after all I'm sending you there."
Not trusting her voice, Mashiro left with Fumi and Nao, as a guide, leaving Natsuki to her own thoughts.
I wonder, really wonder…who will be my next victim? she thought devilish, liking her lips in anticipation.
Nightfall came and suddenly, Mistress Kruger's castle was full of werewolves, vampires and young witches. Everyone was talking like they were equal, for this night no one was a vampire, an Otome or Hime…for they were plainly just themselves.
A loud howl from Duran and softly bells sounds from a magic charm of Fumi, make everyone watch in admiration, lust and respect at the three leaders of each side who were just entering the room. Haruka wore a simple combination of green and yellow ball gown dress. Next to her was Yukino wore an orange dress. Following behind them, Fumi walked elegantly with a light pink dress. At last Mashiro came in with Natsuki. The Hime had a cocktail white dress while the Master Vampire wore her usual white shirt and leathers pants with a long leather coat on her. While Haruka and Yukino gave the scene of two lovely couple, Natsuki and Mashiro showed all but that. After exchanging greeting and finishing the usual speech, Natsuki became bored and was about to leave until Mashiro called for her.
"Kruger-san, I wish you to meet my best Hime." She said, gesturing at the woman that was just walking to them. Glimpse of a dark blonde locks hair, an amethyst necklace, light purple dress and…
I have seen blood, I have seen everything I could think so that might take my undead breath but when I saw does eyes, I didn't see a prey, I didn't see fear or lust…I saw a pair of eyes that could hypnotize me enough to drive me nuts. I saw blood and it was just her eyes that took my breath and make my undead heart beat.
OMAKE:
Tomoe: Shizuru-onee-sama, I wanted –
Natsuki comes and cuts Tomoe's head, leaving a slightly surprised Shizuru.
Shizuru: Ara, Ara why did Natsuki do such thing?
Natsuki: BAKA! I saw what she did with the other girl, like hell I will let her "congratulate" you.
Shizuru: Ookini, Natsuki…should I reward you?
Natsuki: Oh…my…bloody…hell…god….
Oh yea, I know some ppl don't like OCC but believe me, this Natsuki IS ALL FAULT OF THE SIRE besides…Kruger is kinda hard to figure but she is at least a little more open with the…ugh…stuff Shizuru might do (remembers the pool scene…I still wonder what did Shizuru really did.)
