Chapter 9
"Vlad?" Kira whispered to him and he looked at Kira both hatred and sadness written in his eyes making Kira feel guilty.
"Yes little one?" Vlad asked in a hushed whisper as well.
"How bad do you want to kill Jiro?" Kira asked.
"More then you'll ever know Kira." Vlad said using his name which made Kira flinch even though it wasn't an angry gesture used towards him.
Carefully moving his wait so his hands were within reach of Vlad's wrists and looked towards him in a kind and vengeful way.
"What is that boy?" Vlad whispered and then returned to trying to break free and go to the screaming and terrified angel of his.
"Your Key to getting out of those handcuffs." Kira said stressing the word "key" hoping Vlad caught on to its hidden meaning.
Kira waited a moment and sighed when Vlad only stared at him blankly.
"What do want me to do with a piece of rubble? Do you want me to cut my hands off or something?" Vlad said and then started seriously considering the idea.
"No!" Kira yelled at him and then looked away as Jiro looked up from his "fun" to see what was going on and then shrugged it off seeing as Vlad went back to struggling against the bonds.
"Then what?" Vlad hissed lowly so Jiro couldn't hear him.
Kira glared at the wall thinking it was Jiro and then he had an idea as Jiro got up and walked over to something and ripped it away after he had carved some symbols on it. As Jiro walked by he saw that one of the symbols stood for "spear" and another far below it standing for "death". Kira knew he had to act quickly in order to save Danny's life and free both him and Vlad. He shifted again and motioned for Vlad to bring his wrists down to his level, which Vlad obeyed since he was curious to know what the young human boy was doing. Kira put the supposed key to the cuffs and prayed that they would unlock, hope raced through his eyes as a faint glow emanated from the key and cuffs. His hope shattered when Vlad pulled against the cuffs and they didn't come off. He looked over towards Jiro whose was smirking down at the shaking, defenseless, tormented, beaten and shattered form he knew was Danny and Vlad immediately tripped Kira so Kira wasn't looking over towards the frightened and crying angel of his.
"You've reached far beyond your sympathy level and I don't want you crying as well because of that fucking mutt." Vlad said to the boy as if he were Kira's father.
Kira found his way up again and stared at the wall in sadness and shock wanting so bad for the key to work and them all to be free. He heard Jiro say some words slowly and saw the thing he was holding take the form of a sword with a golden blade that shined in the dim light.
Kira blinked and memorized the words and the pronunciation so he wouldn't screw up, then he held the key tightly and said the words softly and the piece of rubble had changed into an actual key. Kira's eyes lit up with renewed hope and Vlad stared in shock at the level of magic the boy had just used. Vlad had to admit the boy had some damn potential for any magical race he was brought into if they had known his memorizing skills. He smiled and realized that Jiro had used the symbols for a key and didn't realize he had left the piece of broken trash where Kira could reach it. Kira looked at him happily and handed the key to Vlad whom hastily took it and unlocked the cuffs with a low clinking sound that Jiro obviously didn't hear.
"Now your going to die Danny and you're never going to see that precious Vlad of yours again." Jiro hissed making Danny shake even harder at the realization that Vlad couldn't do anything to help him because of Jiro.
Jiro laughed at the young boy quaking beneath him on the ground like an innocent little bug helpless and defenseless against anything he could do to him. He didn't hear the sound of the handcuffs that were on Vlad's wrists fall to the floor or the sound of the key drop and hit part of the metal leg of the mirror. He didn't realize how fast Vlad was coming at him for hurting Danny until Vlad had hit him so hard that the wall he hit broke and he had fallen down the stairs to the second story with Danny's old bedroom just down the corridor. Jiro painfully looked up at a fast approaching Vlad coming down the stairs with hatred and vengeance written in his eyes and his expression. Jiro was a dead man walking now.
Back up in Vlad's room Kira had unlocked his handcuffs as well and ran over to Danny.
"Are you ok?" He asked worriedly as he sat down beside him.
Danny flinched and turned to the side making Kira feel guilty and sad all at the same time, he knew Danny wouldn't be the same not after this. It was just too traumatic of an experience for him even if he was three years older then Kira was. Kira heard someone walking up the stairs after a couple of minutes and saw that Vlad was standing in the door way covered in blood and Jiro's severed head in one hand, Kira felt dizzy and fainted.
"Are you ok my little fallen angel?" Vlad asked Danny as he went and picked up Kira and set his passed out form on the bed carefully since the boy was still human.
Danny didn't answer he just sat up and hugged his knees to himself as tightly as he possibly could with pain running through out his body. Vlad tossed Jiro's head out in to the darkness of the forest as an example for any other creatures that wanted to piss him off. He then walked over to Danny and fell to his knees and hugged his angel to him so closely and tightly as to keep anything that might walk through the door from hurting or touching him.
"That will never happen to you again Danny I won't let it happen to you ever again, I'll stay here and watch you and Kira and make sure nothing touches either of you. Especially you Danny I love you far too much you're my love and the only one I want, if someone attacks us it'll be this that happens to me and not you. I promise Danny, I promise." Vlad said letting the tears he was holding back fall from his eyes and onto Danny's bare shoulder.
Soon the sun was rising and the night started to melt away into the warmth light of the day and all three boys lie sleeping in one bed in one room not wanting to find out what might happen if one were to leave.
A couple months later Vlad had walked into the library and smiled at Danny who seemed to have completely forgotten the incident thanks to Kira's study of magic that is. Danny had constantly encouraged Kira to learn magic and suppress his memories of the incident or erase them. However Kira was only able to suppress the memory of rape Danny had and had to cast the spell every once in a while. Even when he wasn't able push the memory back Danny was able to live with it aside from constant nightmares that would gradually fade given time.
"Where's our adopted son Danny?" Vlad asked laughing knowing that Kira was probably reading a book or finding a book to read in the library.
"Up on the second story of the library reading his spell book." Danny said laughing.
Vlad smiled since it was only a few weeks ago when Danny had told Kira to stop suppressing the memory and that eventually he would live it down. It was also a couple weeks ago that Vlad and Danny decided to adopt Kira as their son and of course Vlad paid his original family a shit load of money to compensate in which they humbly accepted knowing that it was what Kira wanted. He had to beg them to say yes and accept the money in the first place and they only wanted him to be happy so they let him be with the two, they had thought Danny was a girl since Vlad made him wear a dress that day and they thought Danny was still to young to have kids, but luckily the rules of the region had nothing against such things so the family shrugged it off. They would come by for dinner from time to time to see Danny and Kira and talk with Vlad.
"Is Kira's family still asking you why you can't give me a son or daughter and Kira a sibling to watch over?" Danny asked laughing since it had become an inside joke.
"Yes they are and I'm contemplating on having Kira find a spell to temporarily turn you into a girl in order to do that." Vlad said laughing as well.
Danny only shook his head at the thought, he wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that's what Kira was upstairs trying to do for Vlad. Danny knew that Kira wanted his family off of Vlad's back as well and knew that Danny didn't care what they did as long as it wasn't public.
"Your mother called by the way Danny she says hi and that everyone misses you." Vlad said smiling.
Danny smirked at the memory of him having to beg his parents to stay with Vlad one night before they left and when they asked why he told them why. Except he had left out the incident with Jiro and the rape so they wouldn't worry to much about him. His mother had agreed to let Danny stay when she heard how in love he was with Vlad and thought it might be a good thing for both him and Vlad. Danny's dad was speechless at first, but he agreed to it to seeing as how happy he was there and after telling Vlad not to hurt him or he'll kill him he hugged his son bye and so did his mother and wished both of them happiness. Life had been better and nothing came after them so from time to time he invited his parents down and made his dad swear that he wouldn't act like and idiot which his dad agreed to as well even though it was hard for his dad to not talk. Vlad had thanked Danny on many occasions for that and had told Danny he didn't really need headache pills any more. Then he remembered when Vlad had told them that they had adopted Kira and his mother was thrilled since she loved seeing how motherly Danny was with Kira and how well the teenage boy fit in with the couple. Danny remembered the time when he had told his parents about them being vampires and Kira a spell-caster in training. She was happy for them and said that if anyone wanted to mess with them then to call her or if Vlad was going away to handle some business to call her as well.
"Remembering things my little fallen angel?" Vlad asked sweetly knowing what memories the boy was thinking of.
"Yeah." Danny answered looking up smiling at Vlad.
It was about midnight now and it seemed like a natural occurrence now and the night became Danny's day in a way.
"We should turn Kira into a vampire." Vlad said out of the blue.
"Yes we should but only if he wants us to." Danny said as he stood up and stretched and Vlad was half tempted to jump him right then and there.
"Kira!" Vlad yelled for the boy.
"Yeah V—I mean dad." Kira said looking down over the railing to the second story.
"Do you want to become a vampire?" Vlad asked him smiling at him and knowing how Kira was so unused to calling him dad.
"Yeah!" Kira said almost falling over the railing and Danny was up the stairs in a heart beat and pulled the boy away from the railing so he didn't fall.
"Thanks Danny—I mean mom." Kira said to Danny.
"Your welcome." Danny said before sinking his fangs into Kira and turning him into a vampire as well.
"And now your with us and the night." Vlad whispered.
