HELLO LILLIES AND GENTS! How are you? I am great, albeit a little tired as I am typing this at 2 in the morning. So, I know it's been a little while since I posted, but I haven't been neglecting you because I want to, it's because I am trying to make sure that I get a high enough grade in a class. I know that not a lot of people are reading this, but I do know that those who are, are people who love the anime Blood+. I thank you for reading my story.
Chapter 3: True Self
"I am truely at a loss of words, Sister Saya; you've always ran away from this...why are you coming to terms with what we are now?" Diva questioned easily without heisitation. "Ohhhh, now I see...mhmm...you want a better life for your children...I'm so glad that we will be having children together." She smiled blissfully. "Of course, we have to truely show that you have changed...to the red sheild and my chivaliers..." Diva trailed off thoughtfully.
The clock in the distance chimes seven times. "It seems time has escaped us, your chivaliers will worry, you must hurry back to wherever it is you are staying." Saya said curtly as she got up and started out of the door.
"Of course, and by the way, Big Sis, Solomon is okay... he survived miracolously." Saya turned to look at the woman that shared her face, but found no one there while her hair and dress ruffled and the bell above the door jingled. Saya turned and walked back out of the door she had entered into not but thirty minutes ago.
It was a long walk alone, but not lonely. She was never lonely, and feared that one day, she would be. It was never said how she came to hate her sister, and how she felt alone in the world when at the Zoo, she never truely hated Diva, she was only mad at her. For killing her surrogate father, the only other peron in the world that made her feel somewhat normal.
She wasn't supposed to hate or fear her younger sister, she didn't want to hurt her in any way, and what's worse, she even made her sister feel bad for for being alive. She hurt her sister on a level that she knew so well, being an outsider. Even in her life now, she felt more like she was looking in rather than looking out, even before knowing all about her life.
When Saya finally made it to the appartment, she walked in and shut the door with a slam behind her. The occupents rushed to her side, making sure she was okay, they claimed. She growled and walked past easily. "I'm tired,"she proclaimed without a care in the world.
"Well tough shit, princess, I cooked dinner. You are going to eat it, without a doubt, and like it." Mao replied walking out of the kitchen and glaring at Saya. "So, no leaving until after dinner." Saya scoffed and walked to her room, where Hagi stood at the door, he opened it quickly and she wlaked in.
As she took in the sight of her room, she noticed the lack of mess around her room. she sighed as she fell upon the bed. Someone cleaned her mess, even replaced the wordrobe she had left broken with one less door. She blurred to the door and peeked out of one side. There, she seen Hagi standing dutifully at her door, keeping her safe. She grasped his arm and brought him into the room, then quickly shut the door without a sound.
"Hagi, we are leaving soon, I don't know when, but I just know we will be. So, be ready, any day any time." She walked to her bed and lay down, her back facing him. "I know what you're thinking Hagi, and yes, we're going with Diva. Afterall," She rose slightly from her bed, and looked over her shoulder,"She is part of our family..." She lay down again and closed her eyes peacfully. "Tell the humans I won't be making it to dinner..." her breaths came in soft, barely audiable, even breaths.
Hagi smiled at her peacfulness and slipped out of her room soundlessly. "Saya is now asleep." Hagi announced in a voice barely above a whisper. A furious Mao stode out from the kitchen, a look of pure hatred passed her eyes and was replaced malicous intent.
"What do you mean asleep!?" She screeched, unbeknowest waking Saya. "I specifically told her not to leave!" Saya's bedroom door opened and she blurred to Mao. Without gaining the attention of anyone else, she grabbed the girl by the throat and tossed her into the wall. Causing the wall to crack and the white sheet to fall from the wall, leaving the exposed wood behind, bare for the world to see the clear brakage done to the wood.
"First, you said not to leave, not that I couldn't sleep. Second, stop your agonizing screechees, they hurt my hears..." She whinned. Kai moved to help Mao up, but an unseen force moved him out of the way and into the pantry. "No helping the puppy,she's in trouble..." She murmered angrilly, her eyes turning crimson and never leaving Mao's.
"Saya, don't- please, I didn't mean to offend you-"
"Oh, but you did." Sya replied cutting the brown haired girl off. "You tried to boss a queen around, then proceded to annoy me, by waking me up. You really are a nuicense." She then turned to the window, where she smiled bitterly at the uncovered glass. "I remember when I was almost exactly like you, when I was the brattiest child on this earth, back when I didn't have to fall into a deep slumber just to live for three years..." Saya murmered aimlessly. "Back when i didn't know I had this much power..." She smiled as she turned back to look at Mao.
"W-what is it you want?" Mao demanded. "Money? You'll have it, just leave me alone." Saya's eyes narrowed angrilly as she stared at the insolent human before her. "Please spare us!" She excaimed, much to Saya's dissapointment.
"Now, is this any way to treat someone who wants to give you immortality, who wants to make you healthy...someone who wants to give you a true home and meaning to life." Saya said as she looked into Mao's eyes and helped the younger girl up. "You need to know that this isn't anyway to help you, I will either eat you for your blood..." Saya trailed off as she trailed her fingernail down Mao's pale neck from behind her,"or I could drink your blood until I've had my fill and give you some of mine." she said walking in front of the younger one, making her eyes glow crimson again.
"Um...-I-I don't know what to say about your generousity..." Mao replied. "The second one...I choose the second one..." Mao answered as she seen the angry look in the crimson pools that were Saya's eyes.
"No, Saya, Please!" Kai yelled out desprately as she tried to move to Mao. Saya looked back at the man she had come to think of as an older brother. "If you leave and take Mao with you,I will have no one...so I'm begging you...if there is any humanity in you still, spare her and take me." Saya smirked.
"Stupid boy, I would never grant one of you immortality that doesn't deserve it. I believe that Mao does, if you want to become immortal, find Diva and I she will probably have mercy on you." Saya looked back at Mao who was visably shaking. "Don't worry... it won't hurt." Saya lied as she bit her hand and allowed Mao to drink her blood. "Much..." she continued as soon as Mao pulled away to scream in agony.
"Shall we leave now Saya?" Hagi asked as he held a purple shawl out to her. Saya turned around and walked past him and too the window.
"Tie her up until you think you want to find Diva and I. Release her and she will find her way to me, one way or another, you will join us Kai. Wether it is from the hurt of Mao's separation insanity, or because you really want to be with your real family." And with that, Saya was gone, the window open and her gone.
