Lea-Renee: Whoops forgot to say that this story was AU...
Rayne:
I think they already realised that, Lea.
Lea-Renee:
Well... *Pokes out tongue.*
Rayne:
No wonder why people call her weird and immature.
Lea-Renee: Before this turns into a fight, I'm going to stop it, let all important things take place and start the story.

Warning: Yaoi (Boy love) Same stuff as last time, basically.

I wanted to lie there forever, frozen by the sorrow of my pain filled heart. Physical pain was nothing in comparison. The sun was beginning to rise and I knew that by now my Judai was either dead or worse, and if he was the latter of the two I'd kill him myself, it was the one thing we promised to each other and whether or not I succeeded I knew I wouldn't come out of it alive, I didn't want to. A life without Judai was no life at all.

With the little energy I had left I got up. I would cry no more, he wouldn't want me to. First and for most I had to see if Judai was one of them. Methodically I took all the usable items from Judai's bag and put them in mine, the rest I left behind. I had my mission and I was going to start by going two towns over to Kakushi Kage (1) and there I'd see Tenjoin Asuka and her brother Fubuki.

SPIRITSHIPPING FOREVER!

Being in the sun always felt safe, no darkened faces, no unidentifiable noises... no vampires. In the sun you could always manage to picture a brighter future but even the brightest light still had its shadows and with my loss I was currently residing in it.

I managed to get there by midday, thanks to a kind old man who I stopped from being robbed and it return he offered me a ride to anywhere I needed to go and let's just say he was loaded. The carriage said it all, gold trimmed everything. Judai would have loved it. Judai, if he was with me he would've either been asleep on the velvet bench head on my lap or talking to me about nothing and everything. Sadly he wasn't.

At first glance if there was one word to describe Kakushi Kage it was peaceful, taking a closer look however, there was hate. At night the streets would often be painted by the blood of a century old feud. Asuka and Fubuki weren't included, untouchable by penalty of torture and execution. Death wasn't enough of a threat for these people. The king had sent them to settle the towns' torrid issues, they'd cleaned up the day time but night was still a free for all battle field.

I knocked on their door waiting for one of them to open it for me, Fubuki was the first down. "Johan good to see you," he said dramatically. Everything about him was dramatic; he dressed like an old fashioned prince in a royal purple jacket and a ruffled white shirt, and was often seen wooing all of the girls with his charm and musical talents.

"I would say the same but..."

"You need to see my sister?" he interrupted.

"Yeah," I replied, nodding my head.

Fubuki led me to Asuka's room; a nice relief from the rooms Fubuki had obviously been set free to let his creative talent go mad. Hers had pale blue walls with a plain cream carpet and edgings, a few books on a small book shelf and a desk littered with paper as well as a waste bin full of the stuff.

"Hello Johan," she said, not bothering to turn around and look at him. "You want to know about Judai right?"

"Please."

She faced me, it was clear why she was Queen of the Obelisk syndicate, her level beauty of was held by so few and even my the expression on her face you could tell she was wise beyond her years and great knowledge of both the future and the past was imprinted in the depths of her eyes.

There was sorrow in Asuka's voice as she said, "Judai has been change."

I hung my head, letting my bangs cover my eyes. "But there is a way to reverse it," Fubuki whispered as if not wanting to be heard.

"How?" I asked trying not to get my hopes up.

He held up his hands in a sagely manner. "There's a story of too loves many millennia ago two lovers by the name of Haou and Jehu had a fight. On his walk Jehu met a gang of vampires and was changed. Feeling responsible Haou went to seek out the original vampire, Kaiser. And it is said that by the power of true love Kaiser gave Haou the power to return his Jehu back and like all stories it worked and they lived happily ever after."

"Is that true? Asuka," I asked.

She closed her eyes remembering events she had never witnessed. "Partially, Haou did find a cure but they most definitely did not live happily ever after."

"Why not?"

"Just because there was a cure didn't mean Jehu wanted to be saved," she stated, "When you are changed it's not just physical."

I thanked them and left. I had to save Judai from his self, whether he wanted me to or not.
