A/N: Hello once again my friends! Now it's time for chapter three. But I first, I'm gonna have a recap and answer some reviewers questions and such.
Story so far:
Kaoru is telling Misao about her father and etc. While she's story telling, she's explaining how she met him.
So the story starts off when Battousai is killing the person that betrayed him, but in the process, he falls in love with a woman. The woman says she hates vampires and has no interest for the likes of him. And he tells her he'll get her, no matter what cost, so he "admits" defeat, for now. A few days later Karou is about to show her affection for her true love but it was too late. Her whole village was slaughtered and Battousai took advantage of it. Battousai told Kaoru to come with him and she oddly accepts…..
Q&A:
In my past Tekken fics, I'm known to confuse/puzzle my innocent readers. But it seems that some people here aren't really paying attention so here are questions. And here's my answers.
Shintachi-chan's Q:
Q. It was said that Kaoru loved the man Kengo, which was known three days after the Batto-Kao meeting, but she also had that vampire lover. Did that mean Kaoru had a lover whom she didn't love but loved her, and was also a lover of a different man -- which is Kengo?
A. You paid attention a lot, but at the same time you didn't. Well you see, in this chapter (chapter 3), I was planning to tell more about Kengo and Kaoru's relationship. But seeing how you were very anxious, I'm not gonna tell ya. You have to read this chapter. And correction Kaoru's "lover" was not a vampire. He just gave himself over, in other words worked for vampires. And more about him will be told in this chapter also.
Q. I hope it would be revealed how Misao came to be. As far as I've acknowledged, vampires can't re-produce. I would like to say that I find it interesting that Kaoru was able to have a vampire child, that's pretty cool. Um, I take it that this story will not be traditionally vampiric then?
A. Yes, how Misao was born will soon come in later chapters. And I'm not gonna tell how though: 3! And no boo-boo this is not a traditional vampire fic. Why you ask? BECAUSE IT WILL BE TOO OBVIOUS! HAHAHA: P
Tree Kodama-chan's Q:
Q. I like the story but it seems a bit...rushed?
A. I know that's not much of a question though. Yeah it is kind of rushed, but I don't think you're reading carefully. No offense or anything but that's my opinion.
Q. feel like it is going a little too fast, like how you threw in Kengo, or how the whole village was slaughtered, why did that happen again?
A. Again, you're not paying attention. I threw Kengo in there for a reason. The reason why the village was slaughtered, because Battousai told her he'll get her no matter what. And killing her people and the one she cares for made her sad. So he took advantage of it and took her. But I really think you skimmed through this though. : S
Ok, I got that finished. And it's good that you're asking questions because it seems that you're really interested. So thanks so much!
Chapter Three: Succumbing To You
Disclaimer: Read Chapter One
----------
While Kaoru was telling the story, Misao stomach growled. You guess after not eating for twelve hours, one would be famished.
"Lady Kaoru…?" Misao interrupted.
"What is it? Do you wish for me to continue or not?"
"Umm..." She held her stomach. "May I please have one of your scones?"
Kaoru's face was blank. She raised an eyebrow and closed her eyes, "Sure, but it's very unlady-like for a woman's stomach to make such noise. Don't forget that."
Misao smiled in joy as she gobbled down the sweet, frosted bread. Kaoru even let out a small chuckle. "Now, you want me to go on?"
"Oh, yes M'Lady!"
Kaoru nodded and began to talk.
----------
After their mildly long flight, Battousai finally landed. Kaoru gasped in awe at the large castle in front of her. It was black on a steady hill. It had silver and white trimmings as it swirled down the columns. It would've been a breathtaking sight, if there wasn't so much darkness and vampires flying around the place.
"Where are we?"
"Well my dear, this is our home."
Kaoru quickly jumped out of his arms, "What do you mean our? I don't love nor know you like that!" She crossed her arms. "And besides, you don't even know my name."
Battousai's mouth slightly. After all of this time he didn't know the name of this attractive female. But wait! He could've sworn he heard her name when he slaughtered someone. Was it Kuala? Kabuki? Katryu? Oh wait! It was….
"Kaoru…" He simply exclaimed. Kaoru gasped yet again.
"Hold on a minute! Who told you? Neither I or anybody told you anything!"
He chortled and crossed his arms within his sleeves, "Let's just say someone was dying to tell me." He walked to her and held her chin. "And I love that name it's beautiful; like you."
She slapped his hands away, "Don't think just because my life is destroyed, doesn't mean that I'm gonna let you take advantage of me."
"Hmm, no worries. I don't wish to do so. Now come, we have plenty to do." He said as he walked past her.
Kaoru stood there for a moment. "What do you mean 'have plenty to do'? I ask you!" She runs to catch up with him.
----------
Battousai and Kaoru walked inside of the palace. Many men began smiling and licking their forked tongues at Kaoru. While so many women stuck their noses to her and gave her nasty looks.
"Why are they looking at me like that?" She hid herself closer to Battousai's back.
"Well, the men are staring because they love beautiful, mortal women. And as for the ladies, their just envious vermin that hate to see me with a woman, much more beautiful than they are."
Kaoru sighed with a little relief. She still couldn't believe she was surrounded by these evil and revolting creatures. Seeing how clean they kept this place and how they acted as though they were human. Kaoru then felt a more contented around them. But she still hated them; not as much though.
"Where are we going?"
"To the place I see you and me in near the future. The bedroom."
Kaoru stopped and stomped her foot. "I am not going in a bedroom with you! You must be insane if I do!"
He turned around with a smile. "It's that or let one of my vampires take you to their bedrooms. I guess you wouldn't like that, would you?"
Kaoru looked around at the other vampires. "Ok fine! You win!" She jumped on him in fright and held him close.
"I love this. Your body pressed to mine. It makes me want you even more." He began to rub her rear.
Kaoru blushed and let go of him. "You pervert! I did not mean for that to happen." She looked at his smirking face. "Now let's go."
------------------------
"Father touched you? What happened afterwards?" Misao asked with anticipation.
"He took me to his bedroom, as he said. Then we talked about many saved many things."
-----------------------
"What kind of bedroom is this?" Kaoru looked around. It wasn't a bedroom, it was mini home. On her left there was an average koi pond with the fish and all. On her right were two sliding doors with a large bookshelf. And the center wasn't a futon; it was an actual bed with all black silken sheets and comforter. Speaking of all black, somehow she didn't notice the black statue of a vampire with actual ruby eyes. It was a Gothic's paradise.
"This is my kind of bedroom. Everything in here is dark, just like my soul." Battousai lowered his head. Then he rose up and smirked at her. "Come sit with me by the pond. We must discuss about each other."
Kaoru was hesitated at first, but she shrugged it off. She sat a somewhat far distance from him but it didn't matter. Soon, there was an uncomfortable silence. Minutes past and Battousai decided to speak up.
"Kaoru, answer this question. Why do you despise vampires so much? Other than the fact that we killed our entire village, what sparked your hate?"
Kaoru looked down the fish in the pond. She took a deep breath before she talked. "Actually it's a very long story. It all started when I was a little girl. Back then I lived in another village, very far away…
--------------------
Flashback:
Karou was a little girl playing in her village. Everything was perfect. She had a very kind family. Village folk were kind. And she would play all day.
A few weeks later, all the happiness became more happiness when a boy and his father came into the community. The little boy looked a little older than Kaoru. He was cute too. He had black, silky hair with brown eyes, and his father likewise. But the thing that made him so cute was his smile. He had the cutest toothy smile she ever seen. She began to blush at him.
"He is so cute! I should go say something to him!" She was about to run up to him but she stopped. "I think I should wait for a while."
The boy and his dad were happily greeted by many people. Including single women and other cute little girls.
"Maybe one day I'll talk to him."
------
A few days have since the newcomers. And they were quite nice. Kaoru began to feel sad because she didn't get to talk to the new boy. So the day went by and she was playing with a few friends. Then out of nowhere, the new boy bumped into her and knocked her down.
"Oh, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you!" The boy tried to help her up.
Kaoru looked at him with anger. "How dare you! You big meanie!" She kicked him in the shin and ran away.
--------------------
"Was that the person that you really loved?" Battousai asked.
Kaoru shook her head. "Yes, his name was Kengo. He was the one I wanted to spend my life with. Then something horrible happened to both us."
--------------
After their encounter, Kaoru began feeling sorry for him. To make it up to him, she was going to apologize. She was about to go outside until her mom hurled Kaoru inside a cupboard with her and her husband.
"Don't go out there! They're here..."
"Who's here mother?"
A tear trickled down her mother's face. "Vampires…"
Kaoru held close to her mother and began to shake in fear. She looked through the crack of the cupboard to see that other members of the family were hiding.
It was very quiet for a moment, and then people began screaming and running for their lives. But it was to no avail. The vampires killed people in the masses. And since their leader wasn't their leader did not join them, they killed as much as they pleased.
Suddenly someone opened Kaoru's family door. It was a vampire. He looked around. He could smell people in here. If there where people, then there was blood. Without any thought, he opened a door and there was Kaoru's big sister and brother. The vampire grabbed them both by the neck and started crushing them. They tried to fight it but they were no match. They gave up and surrendered. With no life within them, the vampire pierced their skin with his tongue and began sucking their blood, one by one.
The vampire was finished with them, but he was still in need of thirst. He sensed more life in a nearby cupboard. The vampire quickly opened it and only to hear the screaming pleads of Kaoru and the rest of her family.
"No use in screaming. You shall all end up like the others." The vampire was about to attack but a sharp pain in his back stopped him. He turned around to see that the new guy and his son were there.
"You foolish vampire! You will not take another life as long as I'm alive."
The vampire touched the pain and pulled out an arrow. Growling, he crushed the arrow and charged at the man. Unable to counter, the man was killed by a sharp claw in the neck.
The little boy was crying when he saw his father die. But he didn't give up. He grabbed one of his father's arrows and stabbed the vampire in his wound. The vampire groaned in pain as he fell to the ground. The little boy ran over to the cupboard and helped everybody out.
"Hurry! We must get out of here before that vampire comes to!"
They ran cautiously trying not to find any living vampires. They scurried into the forest and disappeared forever…never returning.
Kaoru's family and the boy that helped save their lives decided to rest for a minute. Kaoru looked at the boy. She was very mean to him, yet he saved her and her family from death. Trying to be as kind as possible, she went up to him and said, "Thank you very much." She gave him a hug.
"Yes, you have our undying gratitude. But what is your name young lad?" Kaoru's mother asked.
"Oh, my name is Kengo. My father and I came to that village not too long ago." Kengo felt a hand on his head. He looked up and saw Kaoru's father smiling at him.
"Well Kengo, we never met ya until now. So from this day forward we are indebted to you." Kaoru's father made a big toothy smile. "Who knows? You may even be my little Karou's husband!"
"Daddy!" Kaoru blushed.
--------------------------
Kaoru smiled. "After that day, Kengo and I were always together. Nothing and nobody could separate us." Kaoru lowered her head.
"What happened then?" Battousai asked.
"Vampires, that's what happened. They somehow followed us to the village where you slaughtered everyone. And they did something I could never forget. It was a group of vampires. They told me that their human master had his eye on me. The vampires said that if I don't turn myself over to their master, they would kill all of the villagers. If I did turn myself over, they would take me and leave forever. They lied. Those damn creatures took over the village. They controlled our every move, watched what we did, and if we defied them, they'd kill us."
"Hmm, that still amazes me."
"What still amazes you?"
Battousai crossed his arms, "It amazes me that a mere human could control my vampires."
Kaoru stared at him, "Your vampires? You mean you owned them?"
Battousai nodded, "That man used some sort of spell over some of my strongest vampires. Afterward, I challenged that fool to get them back. The coward that he was, he made this mark on my face and ran away. I guess he underestimated my power and I used it to destroy his little group. That's when I saw you."
"So that's why he was acting so cowardly and those vampires vanished without a trace." Kaoru she laid her head on her knees.
Battousai looked at Kaoru. For a minute, he almost forgot how beautiful she looked. He saw her lick those crystal pink lips, which made him go wild. He wanted to touch her, feel her soft body against his, but mostly to hear her moan with pleasure. With no thought at all, he reached out to stroke her soft hair. Kaoru raised her head in confusion. His face was strangely calm. One thing was for sure, he could make a woman go weak in the knees.
"Kaoru, you're astounding." He lowered his hand to hold both of hers. She stared blushing.
"What do you mean?"
"You have gone through many devastates, lost your love, and yet you can contain it all." He then grabbed her into an embrace. "I guess that makes me so attracted to you besides your beauty."
Kaoru froze. His embrace was peculiarly warm. Kaoru started melt in his arms, thinking that everything would be fine.
The feeling quickly faded.
She could feel his tongue poking at her shoulder. "What are doing?" Her voice had a hint of disgusted tone.
"I'm trying to see if your blood is fertile."
Kaoru blushed with anger, "My blood? Why do want to know if it's fertile?"
Battousai shrugged, "I'm a vampire. What do expect? I must know if my future wife will have fertile blood."
"Your future wife! I have all right to—" She was cut off by Battousai's lips. In her instant reaction, she grabbed neck to deepen the kiss. Battousai held her by the waist. Soon, his hands went lower to reach his objective. When he did, she immediately reacted, with a very painful smack in the face.
"You perverted man!"
------------------
After hearing what Lady Kaoru said, Misao happened to giggle. "Father kissed you then he touched your bottom! That is priceless!" She persisted laughing.
Kaoru blushed in embarrassment. "That was the only time he did that." She peered at Misao. "Stop laughing Misao."
At the sound of her voice, Misao ceased. "Sorry Lady Kaoru. So what happened next?"
Kaoru cleared her throat. "After that day, he showed me the ways of the vampires. Even though I despised them, I became more and more interested in them. The more time I spent with them, my hatred for them was completely gone." She looked at Misao again. "Soon enough, we did the process that made you come to be."
