Chapter IX
"I don't think Kira-kun should do that." The vampire sunk lower into the water hearing that voice. Didn't the hybrid get it? "The water is hot and Kira-kun anger is just making it hotter." A hand dipped into the water brushing against his thigh. "Your blood pressure will rise."The crimson vampire didn't want to hear it. He fully submerged into the water.
Beyond looked at the pissed vampire. They were in the dark prince's luxury bathroom where the said prince was in water. Objects were levitating, staying idle in the air. The prince's sour mood was affecting the things around him. His red eyes looked at the golden haze underneath the dark water. His hand was still in the water and he brushed his hand farther up the prince's thigh.
One of the bathroom's items was hurdled his way. Well, wasn't this great the vampire was taking his anger out on him.
"Kira-kun should be nicer. It's not my fault that the little one ran away…willingly." The water seemed to boil and Beyond removed his pale hand from it.
A nearly perfect body emerged from the water. Tan plains dripped with water making the vampire extremely attractive. Russet hair stuck to the prince's neck and some strands covered his blazing red eyes. The vampire leaned over not caring that he was wet or the fact that he was completely exposed to his guest. Strong hands grabbed for the black shirt and tugged the hybrid up just a little.
Kira was pissed before but now he was livid. He glared at the hybrid. "You saw him and he saw you. I said don't let him see you, but it seems you can't follow simple damn instructions." They were staring at each other. "You could have stopped him. Now he's with that wolf."
Arms encircled the dripping waist and pulled the vampire closer to him. The tan skin was well complimented by the black marble tub. As a matter of fact the whole décor of the room complimented the dark prince with the bold colors of red, black, white and gold. "Is Kira-kun done? I don't want him to catch a cold."
A graceful snort passed the rosy lips. "As if blue bloods can get sick." He pushed the hybrid out the way and walked out the tub. The objects settled down in a sign that the vampire calming down a little.
Each step was graceful and purposeful to demonstrate that the vamp thought highly of himself. He didn't care that the water from his body dripped unto the floor or that eyes were following his every move.
"Beyond," It was rare for the dark vamp to call him by his actual name, so the hybrid paid attention. "I'm going to make his life a living hell. I give you free rein." He pulled an outfit from his closet. Black slacks and a crisp white shirt. The prince took out the single red ruby necklace. It shined while it rested on the taunt chest. "Good luck and don't get caught."
Arms encircled his waist again and silky hair brushed again his shoulders. Teeth scraped his neck as he turned around to face his reflection. Reddish hazel eyes looked at golden ones and a creepy smile appeared on that tan face. Fangs poked out from his mouth while the russet hair framed his face. "Anything for Kira-kun." The gold eyes closed to kiss the dark prince.
"Are you sure?" Matt looked at the blonde was still fuming from his spar with the albino. It didn't take a genius to guess what happened. The bandages were visible in the leather vest the blonde wore.
"Yeah, at first I thought he was joking but he never jokes…well not like that."
"So who are our replacements?" This made the blonde madder. His ears were turning red and his eyes were glowing an electric blue. A growl escaped the blonde shape shifter.
It echoed throughout the night. They were just outside of the Whammy's house. Matt was leaning against the brick wall with a cigarette poking out of his lips. His game was in his arm hoister. The blonde was standing in front of him with a scowl on his face. His arms were crossed and his eyes blazing. His long messy blonde hair was in a bun.
"So I take it the harpy and the tiger got our positions." The scowl grew harder. Matt wondered if his friend's face will be stuck like that. "Look, don't worry about. It's just him caring about us. The Lycan murders have tripled lately. He doesn't want us to be victims."
"I'm never the victim." Mello blew out hot air. He walked into the building with Matt following close behind. "I think that over grow bat is playing L."
"Why would you think that?"
They walked on the hard wood floors passing some of the younger Whammy students. One girl, whose name Mello could not remember, was sitting on the floor, drawing on paper. She was a trickster. Always playing tricks on someone. Her tail and ears were out and swaying about.
They passed through some halls and walked up a flight of stairs. They stopped at the door.
"Come in." The voice was emotionless and come.
The two whelps enter the room. L – in his usual manner – was sitting in a chair with his thumb in his mouth. He wasn't alone. The vamper was sitting not far from him reading a thick book. Matt knew that the blonde wolf was fuming at this. Mello always idolized the grown shape shifter. Not only did he give them a place to stay but also hope.
"L, we wanted to know what our assignment is if Blue and Near took control over our guardianship. " L looked at them with his silver eyes. Something happened recently because his eyes were somewhat lively.
Green eyes looked at the brunette across the room. His back was facing them so the shape shifter could not see his eyes. He looked back at the elder. He looked the same…except his eyes but other than that he was fine. There was no puncture wound or bruise. The room itself smelled fine. No blood.
"Your assignment now is governing the two new guardians." Before Mello could say something, the detective said more. "I don't doubt there capabilities. I just want backup available if anything were ever going wrong."
Pale hands reached in the drawer to the right and pulled out two wires. He tossed it to them. "They clip around your neck so you don't have to worry about them staying on when you transform." Mello was going along as their mentor talked. The wire was clipped on his neck and waited for further information. "They are also water proof but if the water pressure is too high then the frequency will not be as clear. If you want to talk press the button on the collar. You have the ear piece to listen."
Matt nodded looking at the wires in his hand. He quickly clipped the collar on and stuck the ear piece in his ear.
"If that is all then you may leave now." L watched as the whelps leave. He turned towards the vampire sitting down. His face was buried in a book but L knew the other wasn't reading. The page hadn't been turned in the last five minutes.
"You think that they'll be killed?" Light asked looking at the wolf. He truly didn't care if the two lived or died…wait no he wanted the blonde one to die and the dark haired one to suffer. The prince had very faint scars on the back of his neck.
"The killings are climbing and becoming more brutal. I don't want them to get hurt." Light gathered this information.
He closed his mouth tasting the sweet blood of the wolf. His body yearned for more but his mind was stable so he resisted biting the wolf again. His body wasn't listening. He could feel his fangs threatening to extract. His eyes automatically fell to the pale neck. His bite wound was covered up by the white shirt but Light could locate it instantly. It was still fresh. Thinking about the wolf's bite wound made the one on his neck ach. He wouldn't admit it out loud but the bite that he received was pleasant and somewhat arousing. When Kira bit him he didn't get that feeling. He would feel the tingling sensation that couldn't be shaken with a dab of claustrophobia.
"So you would send the youngest of the three to do the job along with the seductress. I would say that they're walking targets."
L wanted to counteract that but it was slightly true. He had sent out the youngest to patrol the nights with a murder on the loose but since all the victims had been Lycans he knew that there was a rare chance that the murder would make an exception to their status.
"I have faith in them." He turned towards his computer. "Now, Raito-kun please put the book away. I know he's not reading it."
"Bastard" Light put up the book and walked to the detective.
"Raito-kun has brought this upon himself." The fingers began typing lightly on the keyboard.
L was surprise on how well the Blood swap was going. He could sense the vampire's mood and some of the emotions he was feeling right now. It was a little sharper since it was combining with his regular senses. One of the many things running through the vamp was blood lust one not for killing but just the desire to taste blood…particularly his blood. Another one was arousal; he didn't want to think about that one right now.
The high level shape shifter wonder what was stronger than a blood swap and what it would it be like to experience something like that. The bond they were forming was there but faint…weak but after that transfusion it seemed to double in power. He wanted to ask the vampire but seeing that he wasn't actually aware that he was performing these bonds with a non-vampire. It was natural for their culture but it was foreign to him. If the Lycan could gain this type of bond without mating…the possibilities were endless.
"Should I leave tonight?"
"I would be wise on Raito-kun's part."
"Are you kicking me out?"
"My, the little vampire is asking a lot of today." L smirked as he heard a snort.
Light stood up walking towards the door. He stopped thinking on how he ended up in the Whammy's house. The wine colored harpy with the blue wings brought him here. The prince doubted that there was just a simple door that said exit or entrance. He had a feeling that the building was made like a labyrinth.
"How do you get out?"
"And on with more questions, Raito-kun's on a roll tonight." Gold eyes harden and glared at silver ones. "Raito-kun should know that he just can't walk out of here."
"Then how am I suppose leave, Ryuzaki?!"
L stood up at this and walked over to the golden prince. He put a hand on the other's shoulder and gripped it tightly. A slight shock passed though his body. Silver over dilated eyes looked at where his hands were. The pale fresh covered the bite wound that he gave the prince. It was starting to bleed and a dark spot appeared on his black shirt. L felt the impulse to lick it and coax more out. He shouldn't have this feeling.
"Ryuzaki?" Light looked down at the wolf, who was staring at his shoulder intensely. He had that familiar look on his face. His silver eyes turned slightly predatory and the light shone in his eyes. The prince felt the need to shrink out of the wolf's glaze.
"Yes, I'm sorry to have caused Raito-kun to bleed. He'll be home shortly so he can treat it there." The wolf's other hand grabbed his wrist. This would be a promising position had they not been enemies. Warm breath was on the back of his neck. "Raito-kun should close his eyes and think of his home…preferably his own bedroom."
Light did as he was told closing his eyes and thinking about his black and gold room. He thought about his window that would reveal the white moon on certain nights that was important to him. He felt that they were moving but his legs not in motion. They were still.
"Raito-kun can open his eyes now." Gold eyes looked around the room, his bedroom with the dark curtains and his desk.
"Flashing is very convenient" L looked around the room walking to the book shelve. Light didn't care what the wolf' did. He walked into his bathroom. Flashing was very convenient. It was like time travel. It shortens the time it took to make it toward your destination.
Light took off his shirt throwing it in the basket. His whole shoulder was caked with blood. It almost made the vampire sad because the sweet blood he took from the wolf was slowly bleeding out is shoulder. It was going to be a long night.
"Raito-kun has an interesting collection." The wolf had a nice voice when the vampire thought about it. It was smooth and calm.
Kira walked down the hall with his head held high. A faint smile painted his lips as he walked. He passed his brother's old playmate Mikami Teru. The justice was standing straight and still as a statue. He had grown. The short weak child had grown into man. The guard had his black hair framing his face as it passed his shoulders. Pale creamy skin – the standard for most vampires – was dark in the shadows. Black Glasses hid dark brown eyes. He was wearing the standard uniform for the guards: regular clothes with the crimson red band on his upper arm.
"Good evening Prince Raito." His smile was somewhat dreamy. It would be too far fetch if the justice had a crush on the golden prince.
Kira smiled politely. "Thank you, good evening to you to Mikami-san." The dark prince held his laughter as he kept walking, taking note of the disappointment on the other's face.
The dark prince stopped at the door. He knocked and waited for a minute. "Who is at Misa's door?" The blonde girl said looking around dramatically. As soon as she spotted him she squealed. It took a minute for the vampire to think why he was coming to her again. It didn't take long but it didn't lighten the fact that he thought she was annoying.
"Hello, Misa-chan." The girl's pale face blushed a little as he said her name.
"Misa is so happy that Prince Light remembers her name." She hugged him tugging him inside her room. There was other party going to happen soon so the guests that came to Raito's and his coming of age party were allowed to stay in the castle's guest rooms till the next party. This was convenient for Kira.
"Misa can I ask you a question?" He sat down on her bed.
"Sure anything, Prince Light!" She said bouncing on her bed. Her blonde hair fell over her shoulders. She was trying to look cute…it wasn't. It was childish.
"What is your specialty?"
"I'm tired." The words were almost comical because of the albino's flat toneless voice coming through the earpiece.
Blue looked down at the white dot in the mass of black. She was in the skies of the night. Her wings were extended and she was loving every minute of her flight time. She kept aware of her surroundings as she pressed the button on her collar. The earpiece was firmly in her ear. "I told you to spar more to work up your endurance."
"I miscalculated; I didn't expect him to put me up as a guard."
"Expect the unexpected." She circled his area. Something was wrong. Her feathers stiffened under some unknown energy. The writing on her arm shone a dull blue while her pendant pulsed. Her fingers touched the button again. "You want to change."
There was no reply.
If there was one thing that Blue hated was silence she couldn't see. Near was always the quietest one of the Whammy's house. When she first came to the safe heaven she had no friends. No one who approach her for the bad reputation her kind had gain over the years. She didn't mind. She sat in the library of the building just staring out the window. It was like that four months just her and the window until one day an albino boy stood behind her as she looked out the window. It was quiet but she knew he was there. She learned that he would play with his toys as he sat behind her. It was then that she didn't mind his silent behavior…only because she could see him and what he was doing. Now she couldn't see him or his situation. He could be hurt. Silence wasn't always a good thing.
"Near!" She said his name again and no reply. Her lavender eyes glowed as she tried to see in the dark. She lowered herself down till her clawed feet made contract with the tip of the tree. "Near!" She whispered harshly. She jumped down from branch to branch making little noise.
"Come look at this." His voice was calm but slightly shaken.
"Why didn't you answer me? I thought something happened." She sounded like a mother scolding her son for wondering off.
"I was shock." It was funny how his voice barely showed it.
She landed on the ground. The dirty was moist letting her feet sinking into it. She folded her wings wincing slightly as a sharp branch poked the bone. The ground was not for her. She walked on to where she saw the white clad figure. She walked a little faster not caring if some of the sharp rocks made cuts on her bare feet.
She loomed over his shoulder. It was weird seeing his pure pajamas tainted. There was dirt rimming his pants legs. He was staring at something but she didn't want to ask what. Blue began looking in the general direction that his eyes followed. Not too far from them – about five yards – was a lump on the ground. A giant lump.
Near reached grabbed her hand.
"We have found the nineteenth victim." His pale lips didn't move. This was serious if they had to use the physical bond.
"Should we call Matt and Mello?" They crept towards the body. It was Lycan, male. Cuts and bruise covered the body. Patches on the gray fur was missing but Blue couldn't tell if they were burned off or…pulled off. It was certainly a bizarre way to kill someone. They die of something that cannot be shown, smelt, or felt and then their bodies are mutilated.
She touched his shoulder. "I would say yes but at this time we should be quiet." He crouched on the ground on all four glaring at the trees ahead.
Blue felt the surge of energy again this time it was stronger and closer. Her claws extended to their full length. At eight inches long and can inject lethal amounts of poison in the blood stream with one scratch she can be label as dangerous.
"I'm going to have fun tonight." A laugh crackled in the night. "A tiger and a harpy; such an unlikely couple." A large black scaled arm reached out to grab them.
Ok, Yes I'm done. It's like 2 (am) in the morning and my eyes are red but that's beside the point. Here is your chapter I hope you have enjoyed it. Thank you for the reviews they make me want to cry, please do it again.
I was at a party (get together whichever one you prefer) and I had brought my laptop. Now I'm not a social person so I rather hang out with my computer instead of people I barely know and it so happened that I couldn't access their wi-fi. (Damn security codes) So I thought why not start typing the chapter instead of trying to get internet access. I got home around 1 (am) and now I'm going to go to sleep.
Thank again for reviewing. R&R.
