The sun was awaking from its slumber.The cave was very quiet.Not that Satoshi minded. But some things were bothering him. Where is Saehara? he asked himself. He looked to his side to see a metal bowl half-full with bullets. Then it all came back to him. The voices, the asylum, the SWAT team...

"I cannot believe those children came up with a plan that elaborate."

Saehara was standing infront of him before he realized it. "Yeah, and you barely escaped with your life."

"Saehara..." Satoshi made a weak smile.

He returned one in reply."Oh...glad that your happy to see me, Commander."

The blunette blushed. "Why did you save me? You could've been free of me...you wouldnt have to take orders anymore..."

Saehara sat down on the stool beside the bed. "Forgive me for having a lingering respect for you. And where did you get the silly idea that I wanted you dead?"

Satoshi looked down in shame of himself."Somewhere between life and death...I could hear Krad's thoughts."

"What did he say?"

"He was basically saying to himself that he never liked me anyway...and everything that happened last night was a blessing in disguise."

Saehara's face turned red with anger. "When I see Krad I'm gonna punch him in the head!!"

Satoshi wanted to laugh, but his body was so weak from all the bleeding he gave up. "Where were you last night?"

"Oh yeah, that! I was in a meeting with a tribe from Los Angeles."

"You mean the Angel Wing Tribe?"

"Yeah. They want to meet with you concerning a strip of land that belongs to us. They want to use it for hunting ground."

"Oh really? Interesting."

"So...I give them the word tonight?"

"Yes, Love. Now get some sleep."

With that said, Saehara retreated to his own bedchambers until the night would call for them again. In contrast the day called for Daisuke, telling him that he needed to take a shower. He slowly stirred from his sleep and yawned. Daisuke got up from the couch and made his way to the waterfall upstairs. He glanced over at the sleeping Satoshi and the half-full bowl of bullets.

"He got hurt pretty bad.." he mumbled to himself.He finished his shower, and put on his clothes. The group didnt have much to offer him clothes-wise. They had their trenchcoats and they figured that was all they needed. On his second day at the cave, Satoshi gave him some clothes that belonged to him once.They were loose fitting, and actually kind of comfortable. Daisuke slipped on a torn black t-shirt, a pair of baggy jeans, and silver necklace with a "D" carved in the middle. Litttle Dai hasnt worn sneakers in over 2 years. He was used to walking around with bare feet.He wrapped the towel around his neck and headed downstairs. When the vampires and the "children" slept, he would do the thankless job of doing Krad's chores. He swept the floor, emptied the fridge of rotting food (if there was any food in the fridge to begin with because Satoshi always forgot to feed Daisuke), cleaned the dishes, and wash the dirty clothes. The cave was so unkept that it took him all day. It really disgusted Daisuke that Krad could be so lazy. Imagine his bedroom, Dai giggled to himself. Speaking of his bedroom...what ever happened to that girl last night? Did he kill her? Daisuke thought of checking, but luckily he didnt have enough time to decide as Krad walked out of his bedchambers.

"Umm...Krad?"

"What is it, little one?" he said softly.

"What did you do with the...erm...trespasser?"

"I took her innocence as a punishment. But spared her, nonetheless."

"Oh..."

"Rejoice, Daisuke. Just as Saehara and Satoshi are my brothers, the girl is now your sister."

Daisuke never had a sibling before. And the fact that Risa was now trapped here just like he was made him feel better. "Please dont turn her into a vampire." he pleaded.

"Of course not." he smirked. Krad walked away to greet the night, while Saehara sleepily followed. Satoshi began to shake from his dormancy as well. Daisuke ran up to greet him. He hugged the unsuspecting commander, who gasped in reply.

"I'm so glad your alive, Master!" Normally, Dai just called Satoshi by his name, but since he was in frail condition, he decided to use a more respectful term.

"Daisuke...you were worried about me?"

"Mmhmm." he confirmed by carressing his cheek with his nose. "Thank you for saving me."

The blunette blushed once again. Usually the clan wasnt this nice to him."Your welcome, Dai."

"Hey, Sato! The Angel Wing Tribe is here!"

Satoshi immediately got off the bed to acknowledge the new visitors. He turned to Daisuke.

"Straighten up. Dont talk. Do as your told, when your told. And dont make eye contact. Do you understand?"

Daisuke bowed. "Yes, Master."

Four young men walked in, admiring the cave and the children on the ceilings.

"Nice place you got here." one of them commented.

"Thank you." Satoshi replied.

While Satoshi and the others conversed about their murderous affairs, Saehara set up the table while Krad dissapeared into his bedchambers again. The members of the Angel Wing Tribe sat down on their seats.Daisuke noticed something funny about their leader. He had his eyes completely fixed on Satoshi. He had violet eyes, purple hair and a mischevious grin on his face. His hair bangs were long like Krad's, and instead of wearing a trenchcoat that Daisuke was so used to, he wore a black motorcycle jacket with tight pants. Daisuke unknowingly disobeyed Satoshi by making eye contact with someone else. Satoshi turned his attention to the disobedient redhead and glared at him. Daisuke gasped and looked down. Oh no! I hope he's not mad at me!

The leader of the foreign tribe stared at Daisuke with interest, much to Satoshi's disgust.

(I told you not to make eye contact!) Satoshi screamed in Daisuke's mind.

(I'm sorry! )he pleaded. (Please dont hurt me.)

Satoshi sighed in his mind. (I'm not.)

The commander ceased the mind talk as Krad brought out the girl he had with him last night. Satoshi's eyed widened.

"What's with all the humans? A peace offering or something?" the leader smirked. Krad and Satoshi eyed eachother like they were having a telepathic conversation, and looked away. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience." The blunette said.

"No prob." The leader smiled.

"Daisuke, uh..."

"Her name is Risa, Commander." Krad replied.

"Hmm. Alright, Daisuke, Risa, this is the leader of the Angel Wing Tribe. His name is Dark. His clan is from Los Angeles."

Krad shook the frightened Risa to get her to speak.She bowed and said,"H-hello, Mister Dark."

Daisuke took his cue and bowed as well,"Good Evening, Mister Dark."

"Heh, I like the hospitality here." he crossed his arms and smiled. "So, are you going to give them to me, or feed on them later, or what?"

"Actually, they live here."

Dark arched a brow. "You actually live with these humans?"

"Yes."

"So what do you keep them here for?"

"Risa and Daisuke are simply servants for Krad and myself." Satoshi narrowed his eyes and looked at the new girl, who gasped under his cold glare. "They do whatever is asked of them by their masters."

Dark stared at Daisuke again, who kept his eyes at the floor.

"Anywho...you own the territory where the fog surrounds the land?"

"Yes. My territory ends where the fog does."
"This "strip of land" I mentioned to Saehara last night...is the boardwalk."

"You want the boardwalk?"

"Yes. I figured since you kill in the neighborhood and not anywhere else..."

"...Permission granted. But on one condition."

"Yes?"

"If you can give me something equal in value." Satoshi crossed his arms."That is...if you have anything to give."

Dark frowned. He thought he might actually lose this agreement. "I'm sorry but...the only thing I could possibly offer is peace, and an alliance, should you ever find yourself in trouble with another tribe."

Satoshi thought for a moment. He looked at Krad, Risa, Saehara, and Daisuke. "Bring a gift for each of my siblings and the boardwalk is yours."

"Really? Just gifts? That's all?" he lit up.

"Yes."

"Alright! Nice doin' business with ya." he smiled at Satoshi, then at Daisuke. He snapped his fingers and took his leave as his brethren followed. "We'll have your gifts by tommorrow night." with that, they dissapeared from the premises. Satoshi immediately looked at Daisuke and glared. "You disobeyed me."

He bowed again. "I'm really sorry! It wasnt anything against you."

"That's not the point. I told you to avoid eye contact for a reason.Now Dark is interested in you."

"Huh?" he tensed. "Your not gonna give me to Dark are you??"

"Dont be foolish!!" Satoshi yelled.

Daisuke whimpered and hid behind Krad, who rolled his eyes. Risa twinged when Krad tightened his grip on her. Satoshi sighed. "What's the story on that girl?"

"Eh...I caught her on our property, so I took her to my lair."

"Let me guess. Your keeping her, right?"

"May I?She'll be quiet and obedient, and she'll serve as a great playmate for Daisuke."

Satoshi looked at the girl. "Fine. But do not let them sleep together."

"Oh I wouldnt worry about that." Krad smirked seductively and rubbed Risa's shoulder, which made her want to gag.

Later on that night, Daisuke layed on the couch, and he couldnt think of anything else but Risa. He had to do so much with her. He had to explain to her how everything works here, and most importantly...crush her hopes of running away. She was in Krad's room right now, and who knows what he's doing to her right now. He didnt feel tired, so he glanced at Satoshi's bed. He was thinking of asking him if he could sleep there from now on, but he would probably say no. He stared into the darkness for a moment until a realized someone was sitting on the bed. He sat up to get a better look. The light reflected white on the figure's hair. "Oh, It's just Sato." he whispered to himself.

The blunette seemed to be talking to himself for a while. The words were incoherent, until the commander set down a picture frame on the stool. Before standing up to leave into the night he said, "Goodnight, My Eternal Angel."
