Chapter 10
It's been three weeks since Watanuki was attacked. Fumo and Kurogane made sure that Watanuki was protected during school. And had him know about the vampires that have been living in Tokyo. The streets have been quiet during the three weeks of Fai and Kurogane patrolling the streets for any possible attacks and Fumo finding any leads about his brother.
Fumo was locking up the teacher lounge and sighed and said, "I guess another peaceful night, eh Kurogane?"
"Maybe." Kurogane said.
"What's with you? It's like your ass was kicked during a fight yet again." Fumo said as the both of them started walking.
"According to Fai, Seishiro took us down with one hit. Anyways, Fai's been acting weird, he hasn't been acting like his cheery self lately." Kurogane answered.
"That's not like him, did something happen?" Fumo asked.
"No, but he's been quiet no matter what even when I speak to him." Kurogane answered and they got outside.
"Whatever it is, he will snap out of it. Well, see you tomorrow." Fumo said as he headed towards the direction of Yuko's shop.
"Yeah, yeah." Kurogane said as he headed the other way. He thought, Could it because of what I said that night when he asked me if I had feelings for him? It can't be,how can I have feelings for a vampire?
Kamui was in his room awaiting for any assignements on possible victims and growled and yelled, "It's been three weeks and that bastard hasn't sent us out. What the hell is going on?"
The door opened and his brother walked in and said, "Hey, you okay? I heard you yell."
"Three weeks Subaru, three fucking weeks and we haven't gone out to feed nor try to get my puppet. What the hell is going on?"
"I don't know, not even Yui even knows." Subaru answered.
"Whatever it is, it seems to me that Seishiro has gotten weak lately or us at least." Kamui told him.
"What'd you mean?" Subaru asked.
"Since Fai has betrayed us and got himself a puppet, I think it's about time to find my puppet and take him out so we can be invincible again." Kamui answered.
"What should we do?"
"Find my puppet and spy on him and try to get him."
"Yes brother." Subaru said and disappeared.
"Fai, you're going down!" Kamui exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Seishiro was looking out at the city lights of Tokyo when he heard, "Never knew you would keep us here from feeding on Tokyo."
"Ah, Yui, what brings you here?" he asked.
"I don't know, it seems like you've been becoming soft lately." Yui answered.
"I'm afraid Yui, afraid that people would finally find out why some of the people have been being killed a while ago and come to track us down." Seishiro answered.
"If you were so concerned in the first place, why not pull us back then?" Yui asked.
"I guess I wasn't thinking straight especially with Fai betraying us to live among the humans." Seishiro told him.
"That's in the past now, we need to keep feeding or we will destroy ourselves." Yui said.
"I know, but we will soon until until we find hearty victims along the way." Seishiro said.
Yui nodded.
Downtown, both Watanuki and Himewari were shopping for their dinner. Little did they know, they were being watched by Subaru.
"I guess that's him and who's that with him." Subaru said.
"Come on Himewari, we should finish so we can get some studying done!" Watanuki exclaimed.
"Just a little more and we can head back all right?" Himewari asked.
"All right." He said and then felt the eyes and looked in that direction and saw nothing.
"What is it?" Himewari asked.
"Nothing, it's nothing, let's go." Watanuki said and they finished and heaeded back to Himewari's apartment and thought, I swear I felt someone watching me.
"So, it was him, I think I have a plan in getting him." Subaru said as he vanished.
Kurogane finished grading papers and went out into the living room where he found Fai on the couch reading and asked, "Ready to feed?"
"Yes…" Fai answered.
Kurogane slit his wrist and Fai bent over and started drinking his blood.
"Listen Fai, I've been thinking about what you said,, I want you to know that I am a friend not more than that." Kurogane told him.
Fai kept on drinking and finished and sat up and wiped his mouth. He said after wiping the exess blood off, "I understand, I don't know what I was thinking, it's the best for us to be friends."
"Yeah." Kurogane said as he bandaged his wrist up.
"Since that's done, we should head out and patrol because I have a feeling that the vamps will strike again after their three week hiatus." Fai said.
"Good idea." Kurogane said as he stood up and the both of them left the apartment and headed out on the Tokyo streets.
Watanuki and Himewari finished their study session and were doing dishes from dinner.
"Never knew studying and dinner would make time go by so fast!" Himewari exclaimed.
"Yeah, it does." Watanuki said.
"What is it? You seem a little off all night."
"Well…did you feel like someone was watching us earlier?"
"No, why?"
"You see…I…nevermind, just forget about it." He told her and kept on helping her with the dishes. Damn it, I can't tell her! He thought to himself.
Fai and Kurogane passed by the building that they were in and Fai stopped in his tracks. Kurogane noticed it and stopped.
"What is it Fai?" Kurogane asked.
"I feel Subaru nearby!" he answered.
"What?" Kurogane asked.
Back in the apartment, Watanuki and Himewari were watching television when they heard the window shatter and they saw Subaru come in.
"What the hell!?" Watanuki asked.
"I've finally found you my brother's puppet!" Subaru exclaimed.
"Puppet?" Himewari asked.
"Come with me Kimihiro Watanuki!" Subaru exclaimed.
"Never! I am no one's puppet no matter what you say!" Watanuki yelled.
"If you don't come with me then I will make you come!" Subaru yelled as he sent the broken glass shards flying at him.
Watanuki grabbed Himewari and hit the floor with her.
"What is going on!?" Himewari yelled.
"I will explain later!" he yelled.
"Within the nightfall, I call this soul to be used as my puppet!" they heard and they saw Kurogane and Fai.
"Fai! Kurogane!" Watanuki exclaimed.
Fai had Kurogane in his puppet form and had him take the silver dragon and yelled, "Looks like you haven't given up on getting Watanuki!"
"Kamui will never give up on him either!" Subaru yelled as he struck first and Kurogane struck back.
Himewari and Watanuki were still on the floor. Watanuki was still holding her and felt his heart pound and thought, Why do I feel my heart pounding? Could it be…? Don't think about this now!
Fai took down Subaru after a few hits and released the spell.
"Did we get him?" Kurogane asked.
"It looks like it!" Fai said after he tried to find the hurt Subaru.
Watanuki and Himewari stood up as Watanuki asked, "Is it safe now?"
"Yeah, by the looks of things." Fai answered.
"What is going on Watanuki? Why is that person after you and why is Kurogane-sensei here with that man?" Himewari asked after she noticed Fai.
"I wil explain everything later!" he answered.
"Not unless she's alive!" they heard and saw hands grab Himewari.
She screamed.
"Himewari!"
"Watanuki!"
"If you want to see this girl again, come to the Tokyo Tower, we'll be waiting for you!" Subaru yelled as he vanished.
"No!" Watanuki yelled.
"Damn it, why do these vampires have to fuck with us!?" Kurogane yelled.
"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this, a really bad one." Fai answered.
