~The Hearts Choice~
Amano's POV:
"There was a great war between the Humans and the Vampires, It was said that the war started because of the disappearance of the 5 year-old South Vampire Princess. They claimed that a human had kidnapped her. But the Vampires had faith that their lost princess would show herself on the day of her 16th birthday. Since then, every year, on her birthday, they rage a war on the humans. They would not stop until they have found her"
That was what the stories of the villagers have told me, why am I remembering this now?
"Your parents were killed by vampires" This voice… It's the king's voice.
"We adopted you Amano" And this is… the Queen's!
"I promise, I won't leave you" This is Tadase nii-san's voice!
Why, Why am I thinking of those memories now?
This sound… A violin? It sounds, so familiar, so beautiful. Where have I heard this before?
"Amu"
Amano's eyes shot open "Where am I?" She instantly held her throat "Why can't my voice come out?" she looked around and found herself in a somewhat familiar room.
At the center of the room, a little girl with red hair and Honey eyes was tied to a chair. "Where am I!?" she shouted. "Where is Ikuto-kun!?" "Ikuto-kun?"
"Mommy… Daddy… Ikuto-kun… Save me" the little girl started crying, Amano tried to hug the girl but she went right passed her. "You're safe Amu-Hime"
A man, with his face blocked by the light, came closer to them. "Bring me back home, I miss them!" he patted the little girl's head "Don't worry, after this, you won't miss them at all"
"If you do anything to me, Ikuto-kun will kick your ass!" the man started chuckling "The North Vampire prince? He won't find you here" "North Vampire prince? Then she must be the south vampire princess!" Amano went to take a closer look at the girl; indeed, she did look like her as a child.
"He… He will!" tears fell from her honey orbs. Amano wanted to grab the princess and runaway with her, but she felt useless, unable to save a mere vampire child.
The man stoked her head "Shh… I'll make your pain go away"
Everything happened so fast, the next thing Amano knew was that the girl was knocked out as she said her last words "Ikuto-kun"
The room Amano was in turned into hazy mist. A rainy night came into view.
The same man in a cloak, was holding a little girl with pink hair in his arms while talking to someone. Amano went to take a closer look "The king, Papa!"
"Please explain to me who is this child?" the king asked in a serious tone. "I found her, her parents were slaughtered by Vampires!"
The king shook his head "But we have been living peacefully together, they won't break a treaty" "Her name is Amano, turned five years old today"
"What do you want me to do with this child?" the man placed the girl in the king's arms "Take care of her" Amano noticed the girl's hair color, pink.
"She looks like…" the little girl's eyes opened her eyes and stared at Amano "I am you"
"No, I'm not Amu!" Amano found herself falling in complete darkness.
"You are me" the vampire princess was falling beside her, a blood stained face. "You are the Vampire princess Amu"
Amano repeatedly shook her head "No, No, No!" The little girl smiled sadly towards Amano, and then the sound of a Violin started playing.
"I know this piece… I've heard it somewhere" "Amu" a boy's voice called. "Who…"
"Amu"
"AMANO!" the wound kept Tadase from moving; Blood seeped out of Amano's body. The battle field was in complete silence.
"She's not Amu" Ikuto mumbled. Tadase was furious; he took both his and Amano's swords and started swinging aimlessly. "You took her from me! Give her back!"
Ikuto's eyes were blank.
Tadase's were blind from hate.
Amano's were cold dead.
Ikuto glanced at Amano's body and mumbled "… She chose to die…"
"She wanted to live!" Tadase swung the swords but Ikuto just dodged every swing. "If you continue this, you'd end up like her"
"At least I'd be with her in the end!" He stopped moving and stared at Ikuto, "If I kill you, you'd be alone, unlike me"
"WHY YOU-!" The two pointed their swords and charged towards each other.
"Who am I?" Amano sat in the cold, dark room, Seated across her was Amu. "Like I said "Amano" you are me, the missing south vampire princess"
"Why? My parents were killed by vampires and I was adopted by the King and Queen"
"Amano, look at your hair" She raised a brow and looked at her hair. Her eyes widened as she saw her hair change from pink to red.
"That's… not possible… then I really am… a vampire" the little girl stood and hugged Amano "You're life as a tool will soon be over, after this… you'll be free"
"But… my memories? Can you return them?" Amu shook her head "I'm sorry, I don't know how to return them…"
"It's alright… Thank you Amu… I mean… me"
Amu and Amano both touched hands and a light shone upon them.
"STOP!" A long red and pink haired girl stood in between Tadase and Ikuto. The two guy's eyes widened and both armies stopped fighting.
"Amano?"
"Amu?"
The girl smiled jokingly "Hey guys, I'm both actually" Tadase dropped his sword and hugged her. "Amano… Amano… Thank Kami-sama!" he started crying. The girl unhooked herself from Tadase with a sad expression.
"I'm sorry Tadase-nii san… I'm not the same Amano" She looked towards Ikuto "Ne~ Ikuto-kun, what do you think?"
Ikuto dropped his sword as well and fell to the ground; he started crying but was smiling at the same time. "Finally, I'm glad you're safe… Amu"
The girl patted Ikuto's head and smiled "Let's stop this war, ne~ Ikuto-kun?" Ikuto wrapped his arms around her. "But I have a problem…"
Everyone stared at the girl "I don't have any memories of being a vampire… So little by little, can you help me find whoever kidnapped me and whoever took away my memories?"
"YES!" Rima shouted. Tadase stared at the girl "Amano… You really are the South Vampire princess?" she nodded and hugged him
"Tadase-nii san, I have to go, or else this war would not end" "NO! YOU WON'T LEAVE MY SIDE ANYMORE! WE PROMISED EACH OTHER!"
The girl started crying "I know… I'll come and visit, then we can build up the treaty of peace once again" "No… please no… Ama- I mean… Amu"
"I don't want to live on, not knowing who I am and why I existed!" she exclaimed. "Please nii-san! I need to know"
Ikuto stood and came closer to the two. "Prince of Vampire slayers, please allow us to bring the South vampire princess back home and in 3 months, we will come back to build the treaty"
Tadase had a sad expression; he didn't want Amano to leave him. But for the sake of the kingdom, he had no choice but to agree. "You have my permission to take the south vampire princess home"
"I'm sorry that you had to make this decision" the girl whispered. "Is this what you really want Amano?"
She smiled "Of course, It's my heart's choice after all"
