Chapter 10

Vampire World

Knock, knock. Souko and Aruto knocked on the door of Midori Hinamori. She opened the door timidly. Her face looked worried.

"Is there something wrong Souko?" she asked. She and Souko had been good friends in the past.

"We came to talk about your daughter," Souko replied.

Midori paled. "H-how do you know about Amu?" she stammered.

"We heard about it from the girl herself," Aruto answered.

Midori started crying. "How is she?! Is she well? Is she okay with her father? Does she miss me?! Answer me Aruto!!!!" she cried.

"She's fine. And I'm sure she must miss you. About her father it must be okay because she looks healthy."

Midori sighed, relieved. Then she looked around. "Come in. I have to tell you something. It's about Amu."

The three of them sat down. Midori started. "When I was in the Human World I fell in love with Tsugumu. He never knew who I truly was. Eventually I had to tell him. But it was after we had married and Amu was going to be born. Horrified, he sent me away. Before I left, I asked to take in Amu. He agreed, but only if she was human. When I had her, she was a royal-blood vampire. (A/N: Hope that answers your questions) I couldn't bear to see her killed. So I sealed her vampire self away." (Yeah, it's a little like Vampire Knight. But not really, only the ranks and the sealing away.)

"So she is a vampire?" Souko concluded. Midori nodded.

"The seal will soon break," Aruto warned.

"I know. I hope you'll do me a favor, if it's not too selfish," Midori said. "I know that Amu has fallen in love with your son, Ikuto, right? When the time comes for the seal to break, will you ask him to bite her? Her vampire self will soon awaken then."

Aruto and Souko looked at each other. Then Souko answered for both of them," All right."

Human World

"Ikuto, why do I have to come your house after school?!" Amu wailed.

"Have you forgotten already? You have to be my pet for a week," he replied.

Amu groaned. She had forgotten. And what could she say to Rima and Yaya now?!

"Amu, there you are!" Rima called. She ran to her best friend. Her face was extremely happy.

"Hi Rima, what's up? You look like someone gave you a bunch of gag manga," Amu answered.

"Nagihiko came back!!!" Yaya chirped, popping out of nowhere.

"He did?! Where is he now?" Amu exclaimed.

"Is Nagihiko Rima's boyfriend Amu?" Ikuto confirmed.

"Amu-chi, why is Ikuto with you?" Yaya wondered.

"Here comes the bomb," Amu muttered.

"We're boyfriend and girlfriend," Ikuto grinned.

"WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rima and Yaya yelled.

"Crap," Amu murmured.

"Yup, she is. So live with Mashiro-san."

"HECK NO I WON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rima shouted.

"Oi, Rima-chan you shouldn't yell so much," a voice laughed.

Nagihiko Fujisaki walked in the hall. He had long dark purple hair and soft blue eyes. He was pretty tall and very calm and nice. At times he could be very funny though.

"Oh Nagi-kun!" Amu chirped.

"Hi Amu-chan. Who is that? Your boyfriend?" he asked.

"Yeah, I am. Nice to meet you I'm Ikuto Tsukiyomi," Ikuto introduced.

"Ikuto? Is that you?"

All of them turned around. There stood a very beautiful girl. Her hair was white that faded to black as it lowered. She had sharp black eyes that became whiter at the iris. She had light pink lips and she was tall and lean.

"Yo, Katone," Ikuto greeted. So this was the girl Mimiko and Hiro were talking about.

"Is this your lover?" Katone asked, peering at Amu.

"Yes, she's mine. My little pet."

"Heh, same as always huh Ikuto?" Katone laughed.

The bell rang suddenly.

"ACK!!!!! I'm going to be late!!!!!!" Amu yelled.

Ikuto's House (Vampire World)

"Ne, Kagami, are you okay being trapped at home?" Hiroko Shizumi asked her best friend.

"It's usual, so I'm used to it," Kagami replied.

Hiroko had long dark brown hair and bangs with two longer bangs on each side of her face that go up to her chest. Usually her hair was pulled back with a sky blue circular clip. She had bright green eyes and as usual she wore a long, flowy, sky blue summer dress with a green tie in the middle. The straps were green too.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm sure your punishment won't be that bad," she encouraged.

"Easy for you to say," Kagami sighed. Hiroko was the same age as her. Her power was to be able to teleport herself and people who she chose.

"Well…um…Oh! I know! Let's play a board game or something!" Hiroko suggested brightly.

Kagami had to smile. Hiroko could always cheer her up. "Okay," she agreed.

Human World (After School)

"Ikuto, why are you…dragging me?" Amu asked.

"Oh, you want me to carry you?" he replied, an evil glint in his eyes.

"Uh, never mind," Amu wavered. She really didn't trust that glint.

"Aw, why not Amu?" he pouted.

"First, I don't trust you when it comes to things like that. Second, I don't have a second but oh well!"

Ikuto pushed her against a wall. Amu gulped. This did not look good. "God, please save me now. Please just send an angel or something," she thought frantically.

"So you can't trust me huh? Should I make you trust me?" he purred, his lips at her ear.

Amu shivered. "Shut up you perverted vampire," she murmured.

"Ikuto, what are you doing to Amu?" Hiro called suddenly, out of the blue.

"Shoot, I was just going to give you a little present," Ikuto growled.

Amu blushed furiously. That really didn't sound right.

"HIRO!!!!!!!! COME BACK HERE YOU ATE ALL MY PUDDING DIDN'T YOU?!!!!!!" Mimiko roared.

"Uh oh, I thought I lost her. See you!" And Hiro sped off.

Amu sweatdropped. Hiro was like a comedian or something.

"Well, where was I…?" Ikuto continued, returning to her. (A/N: SAMMIE!!!! STOP THE MUSIC OR NO MORE ANIMAL CROSSING!!!!!!! Sammie: O.O!!!! –turns music off-)

"I-Ikuto," Amu stammered. Ikuto was really, really, close to her. "I don't think I'm ready for this kind of relationship."

Ikuto growled under his breath. "And why is that?" he whispered pervertedly.

"I-"

"Well, look who it is," a voice called mockingly.

Ikuto spun around as fast as lightning. There stood the Council. Well, not all of them. It was just Kimiko, Kazue, Kaeda, a new girl (later you'll find out who she is), and an Elder.

"Wow, Kimiko, I think you grew older since we last met," Ikuto taunted.

Kazue looked at Ikuto angrily. (A/N: I really hate Kazue and Kimiko, even though I created them. Kathy: I hate them too. Can I beat them up with Mr. Stabbie? Me: Sure, just after the chapter's over. Kathy: YES!!!!!!)

"Now, Kazue, please don't look at Tsukiyomi-sama like that," the Elder said.

"Uh, Ikuto, who are they?" Amu asked.

"The Vampire Council. I think they came to see you," Ikuto answered.

"Well, first we have to see if she is the one who will stay with you forever. Ankoku, come please," the Elder said.

The new girl stepped up. She had pitch-black hair that was long and silky and dark purple-black eyes. Ankoku wore a pale blue dress with a high collar. The skirt part was pretty wide and went to her knees. She wore light blue shoes (like the ones Lulu wears) and also white lace stockings. She was only around 8 years old or something!

She made her hands form a circle. (Like you know when fortune tellers put their hands around a crystal ball. It's like that)

"With my powers of light and darkness I ask this question: Is this the person?" she chanted. A flash of light suddenly pointed to Amu.

Ankoku smiled a bit evilly. "It is her, Father," she said.

The Elder smiled. "Perfect. Now just to tell her the truth, right Ankoku?"

She smiled like a little child. (Oh, wait, she is, huh?) "Yes, we do!"

"Stop acting all innocent and childish and spit it out!" Ikuto commanded.

"Kimiko, he's being mean," Ankoku cried.

"Poor Ankoku. Ikuto is always mean, huh?" she soothed. Ikuto gagged.

"Er…may I ask who you guys are? I mean, like your names?" Amu asked.

The Elder smiled, as if though Amu was his own daughter. "Of course! Let me introduce them to you. The one with blond hair is wearing red is Kimiko. The boy next to her is Kazue, Kaeda's fraternal twin brother. The one with white hair is Kaeda. The young girl is Ankoku. And as for me, I'm just called the Elder," he introduced.

"Um…nice…to…meet…you?" Amu said.

Ikuto groaned. "Amu, don't be so nice to them," he commanded.

"Why not?" she replied.

Before Ikuto could say anything Kaeda interrupted," He just doesn't like us. We need to tell you something Amu-sama."

"Sama? Why are you calling me that?" Amu asked, confused.

"Because you too, are a vampire," the Elder said.

xxxmidnightstarxxx: And yes, huge cliffy there. And Amu, sorry.

Amu: Why…? (She hasn't read the chapter yet)

xxxmidnightstarxxx: Because I made Ikuto…

Sammie and Kathy: -pop up- A BIT PERVERTED!!!!!!

Amu: WHAT?!!!! I THOUGHT WE HAD A CONTRACT!!!!!!!

xxxmidnightstarxxx: You mean the one Kathy is using to make marshmallows?

Sammie: She actually lit it on fire!!!!! (Flashback- Kathy: Hey! Let's light this so we can have marshmallows!)

Ikuto: Very nice –evil smirk-

xxxmidnightstarxxx: That's really scary you know…and this is…10 PAGES!!!! –faints-

Profile: Ankoku Maki

Ankoku is 8 years old. Her power is to receive answers when she asks something. This is a terrible strain on her body, since she is a clone of the Elder's deceased granddaughter. She had long pitch-black hair and dark purple-black eyes. Her favorite colors are indigo and violet. Ankoku obeys her "father" although she doesn't know his true intentions. Her name means "darkness"

Profile: Anei Maki

Anei is the deceased granddaughter of Elder Maki. She had long black hair and slightly lighter eyes than Ankoku, her clone. She had the same power. She is not in this story, and is only briefly mentioned. Her mother was Elder Maki's daughter, and when she ran off to marry a human, Elder never forgave her, and killed both her and her husband. He also abandoned Anei, but she managed to live until she had to be exterminated for "trying to kill a royal-blood vampire." Elder made Ankoku for his own selfish purpose, and will later betray her. Anei means "shadow."
