Raging took the cigar out of his mouth and crushed it in his hand, turning it to ash. How the hell did this little bastard get a hold of his valuable gem? "What do you want Ailess?"

"Take down all the markings you've created and we'll handle everything from there." Ailess waited for his opponent to make his next move. He knew he won this metaphorical game of chest because his Knights captured the queen and are ready to attack.

Raging raises his hand and it curled into a fist as if he was crushing something. Mya started writhing in pain when she felt a burning sensation on the back of her neck.

The Heavens clan were immediately alerted by the distress of their angel. Eiichi looked over to his father, "What are you doing?!"

"I'm only taking down one marking of mine,"Once Raging lowered his hand Mya felt the pain subsided. "Ailess, you're never getting this territory. Take her and get out."

Mya looked up at her so-called father figure with wide, teary, hazel eyes. "W-what?!" She didn't understand. What could she have done wrong to deserve this? She was loyal to him through and through and did what she was told. Why is he giving her away?

"What?!" The Heavens vampires couldn't believe what their clan leader has done. After all these years of taking care of her and protecting her, he's just going to give her away like that. They need her. She was their means of getting food, entertainment, and feeling somewhat human.

"Raging you can't -" Yamato was about to protest but Raging held his hand up.

"I can do whatever I please." When it came to his rival, Raging was stubborn. Sure he had plans for Mya Rue ever since she was born but plans changed. "You and the other will stay where you are and defend the house if needed."

Ailess was furious on the inside but kept his composure. "Very well... Warren let her go." He was going to take his anger out on someone. It might as well be his useless bargaining chip.

Warren was hesitant to follow that order because he can sense when Ailess gets upset. If he lets go of Mya Rue who knows what the cyan-haired man would do. "Ailess... are you sure-"

"Just do it!" Warren let her go but Mya didn't move from her spot. "I told you that they never truly care about you," Ailess said as he walked towards her. "What do you expect? They're vampires...their ability to love stopped as soon as their hearts did." It's still a red moon, he might as well cause permanent damage for everyone. "I bet you want to find out how it feels, don't you?" He gently held her wrists and pulled her closer to him. Then he lowered his head a bit so that he could whisper in her ear, "Considered your wish granted."

Mya's eyes widen and tears gently rolled down her cheek when she felt something sharp pierce her neck. This was her first time being bitten and it was with a heartless stranger. Her energy was slowly leaving her body and it was getting harder and harder to stay awake.

Her blood was warm and sweet, probably because she never got enough iron into her system. It has been a while since Ailess tasted something so good. This feels satisfying since his enemy has never bitten her and now he has no choice but to watch. He felt warmth flood his cold body and his once dead heart started to pump, it hurt so damn good. 'So that's why he kept you around...' He wanted to make her his even more now. Ailess released one of her wrists so that his hand gently moved to her back. When he started using his power to brand her back, she let out a cry before passing out in his arms.

It was a painful spectacle to watch for Heavens. They raised this girl from diapers to lace panties, they each loved her dearly to some degree, but now they are forced to watch her be taken from them. All because of Raging's pride and stubbornness. Eiji and Shion had to turn their heads when they saw those tearful hazel eyes look their way. There were some that we're angry and other while other we're jealous that blood was taken by another.

"Masaferry," Ailess handed the unconscious girl over to him. He made sure the back of her dress was shown to the unwilling audience before passing her off. The midnight blue and white dress she had on now has a large hole burned into it to reveal a picture, a heart wrapped in thorny vines, etched into her skin. He inwardly smirked when he heard the subtle gasp then turned around to leave. "Thank you for having us here. I had fun." The three intruders left into the shadows with their new member.

Later that night there was an uproar in the Raging Manor. Sounds of furniture crashing into a wall can be heard. "I can't believe we just stood there and let them get away!" Yamato took a pointless painting and broke it in half over his knee.

"We were ordered not to move and protect the house," Van said as he easily does any debris flying his way. "There's nothing we could do."

"That bastard just took her in front of us," Yamato punched the wall, creating a hole in the wall. Then he rested his head against the wall, his friends can see his shoulders visibly shake as he did his best not to cry. Which was easy since he can't produce any tears.

"Why can't we just steal her back," Nagi asked from his seat on the couch. "We could easily overpower the three of them."

"If the flock strays away from the shepherd then the wolves will feast," Shion said calmly.

"Shion has a point. If we go after them we might run into...the werewolves," Eiji said as he tried cleaning up the mess Yamato made in his tantrum. "Then there's father..."

Eiichi stared out the window as the other converse. Hard to believe that the man he once called father chose land over a child he basically adopted. Actually, he didn't find it hard to believe. What he couldn't believe, was that it actually happened. "It seemed only yesterday that we named her..."

"But it was sixteen years ago..." Van as always said what was on his mind.

"Shh he's going into guardian mode," Nagi said.

~Flashback~

The vampires stood around the basket cradle and stared down at the baby girl that laid inside. It was hard to believe that Raging did something as outlandish as taking a human girl into his home. Of course, he placed her in their care when he claimed he had more important matters to attend to.

"So...what are we going to call it?" Yamato asked.

"Yamato the baby is a girl," Eiji said as he looked over at his athletic friend.

"The baby can be whatever the baby wants to be," Shion said calmly.

"That's all fine and dandy, but for our sake and because the baby doesn't know what she wants to be yet let's just say she's a girl. If that changes in the future, then good for her." Van said as he gently rocked the cradle. He always had a small soft spot for kids.

"Can we name her Mya? I think that sounds like a cute name for a cute baby." Nagi said as he watched the baby watched them with big hazel eyes full of innocence.

"No way! She needs a strong name like Rue," Yamato said.

It's been a debate for about 3 minutes over which name would be good for the baby. Yamato, Van, and Kira liked the name Rue because it was strong and fiery. Whereas Nagi, Shion, and Eiji liked Mya since it was cute and sweet. Eiichi was on the fence since he believed that both names were befitting for their little angel. That's when the idea came to him.

"Let's just do both..." Everyone except the baby looked at Eiichi in confusion.

"Give a baby two names?" His little brother questioned.

"Why not...she is cute and sweet," he said before kneeling down and gently brushed his index finger against the baby's soft cheek, "But she will become strong and fiery with age." The baby responded by grabbing his finger with her tiny hands. That small contact sent a strange but familiar warmth up his arm. It reminded him of the time when he was human and his baby brother held onto his hand for the first time. "So let's give her a name that fits her as a whole...Mya Rue." The others agreed with him and that day forward she was called either Mya, or Rue, or Mya Rue.

~ End of the flashback ~

Van sighed happily at the memory, "Yeah she was a cute little thing wasn't she..."

Eiichi stood up straight and adjusted his glasses. "We're going to find her."

"But father-" Eiji was cut off by his older brother.

"Forget what that stubborn old man said for one moment!"

"It's best to beg for forgiveness rather than ask for permission," Shion said as he stood up from the sofa along with Nagi.

"I'm not begging but I'm am definitely not asking," Yamato said as he dusted himself off. "Let's go get our girl back." He said as he cracked his knuckles.

"Heavens we leave at twilight," Eiichi announced.

AN: Phew sorry for the long wait. Had to write so many versions for this.
