Aria: Hey guys! IM BACK BABY! LOOL. Hello! IM SORRY! I know I haven't updated ;( schools tough! My computer broke and my sister got married! xD life happened ! So here is an extra long chapter! I kinda changed writing style… you'll see! Anyway, enjoy~
The 2 days at school were ruff. Tadase kept glaring at us with the intent to kill and of course Ikuto and Utau had to glare back. It had gone on for the 2 WHOLE DAYS! I was tired. What was his problem?
I sighed and had just finished getting ready for the party. I looked in the mirror with pride. I wore the dress grandfather had given me but of course I added a little flare of my own. I added black netted fingerless gloves that ended a little past my wrist. It had a red ribbon tied around the wrist and a small rose on the bow. I also added a nice chocker; it was made of black silky ribbon and had a metal red rose in the middle. Finally, I bun up my hair and added a black ribbon to tie it up with a beautiful red rose.
I walked out to see Utau and Rima ready. Utau let her angel wings spread. She wore a pure white dress. It was a short tutu-type dress but it had full-sleeves. It had black ribbon covering the arms and she wore white long socks with the same black ribbon wrapping around her leg. Her hair was in her normal 2 tails but she added angel wing clips. (A/N: Basically Seraphic Charm but white and black).
Rima wore a very cute dress. It was black tutu-type like Utau's but it didn't have any sleeves. Rima wore it with witch boots and had her witch hat on. She wore long fingerless gloves that ended a few inches below her shoulder. Her hair was out and her wand stuck in her boot.
We walked out of the dorms and met up with the rest at the front but of course we would pick up Yaya first. We met up with Yaya and headed out. Yaya wore a longer dress then us. It ended a few inches below her knee. It was straight and had a belt running through the middle. It was all orange even the belt. Her hair was in a pony tail at the back of her hair with a cute red ribbon. Yaya overall looked cute.
We met up with the guys. They all wore similar tuxes but with various colored ties. Ikuto had a blue, Kukai had an orange, Kairi had a green and Nagi had a purple. A car pulled up which was sent from my grandfather. Of course. We got in and the car drove to my grandfather's grand castle.
After we got out we started to walk in but I noticed that there was a blood barrier. Likely set by Ryuu. Everyone walked through it nicely. No one noticed it but me. My right eye began to feel weird. The barrier felt familiar but dangerous. I touched it with my left hand while my right hand held my eye. The barrier reacted, it let me in but it sent a shock wave through out. "Amu? What's wrong?" Ikuto asked. "Oh? Nothing! I thought I saw something" I said shaking my head.
We walked in and I saw Ryuu waiting for us. Ryuu was an older vampire. He ooked like he was in his early 20's. He had dark green hair and enchanting green eyes with hints of red. "Ryuu, Good to see you." I said with a smile. "Good to see you too, Amu-sama. I assume these are your friends? And partner?" He says with a disgusted voice. I sighed. Ryuu didn't like non-vampires. He thought they were inferior. "Yes, they are Ryuu." I answered a little ticked off. "Well, we have run away Prince Tsukiyomi Ikuto, The Angelic sister Hoshina Utau, The Samurai Wizard Sanjo Kairi, The Dancing Wizard Fujisaki Nadeshko or wait sorry that was your former female name, Fujisaki Nagihiko. You also have Princess Mashiro Rima, Princess of Black Magic. Oh of course couldn't forget the never aging demon Yuiki Yaya." He said icily. I was angry. I could tell everyone was taken back by this. So I let go of Ikuto's arm and went to Ryuu. "You guys go ahead. I'll be back. They started to leave but I could tell Ikuto wanted to stay but I gave him a reassuring smile.
"What's your problem?" I asked him. "Nothing! You have impeccable choice in friends. Anyway, what's the real reason you've come to me?" he asked. "Haha, you know me well. I came because my pureblood is acting up. I bit someone. I now, can't live without blood! What the hell is happening to me?!" I asked. He sighed. "You're an idiot. Of course it would be acting up. You're fully grown. Now, your pureblood is going to act up. You need to learn control. I don't need to end up hunting you down." He said dully. "Shut it. It's being controlled. But I guess it's because of those jobs. Anyway, why is he throwing a party?" I asked him standing next to him. "It has to do with you. He's gonna show you off to the world. Ha. Ironic. He never cared till now. Be careful, I know he's planning something. Now GO!" he yelled pushing me into the party room.
I stumbled in but no one noticed. Good. I walked to Ikuto and the gang. "Hey, sorry, I had some business to take care of." I said grabbing hold of Ikuto's arm. "Business?" he asked. I just nodded and tried to switch the topic. "I should go meet up with my grandfather." I said pulling Ikuto with me. I went up to him and bowed. "Hello." I said dully. "Nice of you to join us Amu. Oh, who's this? Prince Tsukiyomi Ikuto. Also a pleasure to meet you." He said in a candied tone. "The pleasure is all mine." Ikuto said shaking his hand. "I have some people to meet, if you'll excuse me." He said in a harsher tone. Just then Lulu came up to us with Ami.
"Hey there cuz." She said informally. "Hello, Lulu-nee-sama." I answered formally. She smirked in response. "Who's this?" she asked looking at Ikuto. "Tsukiyomi Ikuto. Amu's partner." Ikuto answered simply. "Amu's? hehe. Wow, I didn't you had it in you Amu." She said emphasizing my name. I smiled fakely in response. "Amu-nee-chan! I miss you." Ami interrupted. "Shut up." Lulu whispered. I smiled warmly and mouthed 'miss you too'. She saw and smiled. "Oi, Lulu, I need to talk to you later. Ja ne." I said walking away with Ikuto. I could tell she was angry. She was probably ready to kill me. I smiled darkly.
We made are way back to the gang and relaxed. I picked up a glass of blood and examined it. My left eye started acting up again. I saw my eye in the blood slowly turning red. I also saw the blood become translucent. I saw it clear through. I unconsciously sipped it. It tasted fine. Good. My eye went back to normal. I tried to understand this power. Translucent meant good. I got it. I causally talked to Ikuto and Rima. Kukai, Utau, Yaya and Kairi went off on there own while me, Ikuto, Nagi and Rima stayed.
As we talked occasionally people would come by and talk. Someone caught Ikuto's eye. "Hey." A man who looked a lot like Ikuto said. He held a woman at his side. She was gorgeous. Dark blue hair and light blue eyes. She was beyond gorgeous. "Yo." Ikuto answered. I was shocked at his informality. I jabbed Ikuto with my elbow into his gut. "Amu, this is my cousin Yoru and his wife Miki." He said rubbing his gut. "Hello there." I said. "Nice to finally meet you Hinamori-sama." Miki said. I smiled, "Nice to meet you too." I said. Ikuto chatted with Yoru while I talked with Miki. They soon left and that's when a mysterious lady showed up in front of us. Rima and Nagi were right behind us.
"Hello Amu-chan." She said. She had long pure white hair and icy blue eyes. She wasn't dressed like everyone else. She wore a white kimono which suited her well. "I believe it's Amu-sama to you." Ikuto said. I blushed. She laughed a bit, "of course. Amu-sama. My name is Shirayuki. We have never meant but I was close to your father and mother." She said smiling. My mother? She knew my mother? "Nice to meet you Shirayuki-san." I said smiling. "I hope we can be as close as I was with your parents." She said smiling and leaving. I looked over at Ikuto who looked surprised. "You're a stupid cat! She was a pure blood vampire." Ryuu yelled at Ikuto. Ikuto was still wide eyed. I looked over and saw Nagi and Rima also wide eyed. What was so scary?
Ikuto p.o.v
I just saw Shirayuki-hime. The women Amu's dad was suppose to marry. She knew her mother? Woah. I told Amu, I would be right back. I grabbed Ryuu and Nagi and left. We were outside on the balcony.
"What are you doing?" Ryuu yelled.
"Shut up and listen. Amu's being threatened by someone called Nighmare. He said he would meet her at the party, now we need to figure who he is and what he wants." I said to him.
"We need your knowledge to figure this out. Our other friends are searching this place head to toe. Now, we need you." Nagi said coldly.
"Che. Amu too eh?" he said.
"What? Who else?" I asked.
"The king has been getting them too. The person calls himself Nightmare but that's just a cover name. I don't know who it could be but I know his excellence knows who it is." Ryuu said looking down.
My phone vibrated. I picked it up and put it on speaker.
"Cat to Dog, what did you find?" I asked.
"Nothing yet but there is a room beside the ballroom that's weirdly unlocked. Also, Angel said she felt a human presence. I'll keep searching. Dog to cat, over and out!" Kukai said.
"What's with the names?" Ryuu asked.
"I don't know, Kukai wanted them." I answered.
"Nagi call Utau and find out about the human. I'm going to call Yaya and Kairi." I commanded.
I grabbed Ryuu and jumped onto the roof. "Hey what are you doing?!" He yelled. I put him down and pulled out my phone. "I still need you." I answered. I dialed Yaya and waited till she answered.
"Baby Girl to Neko-tan what's new?" She asked.
I coughed. Ryuu started to laugh. Neko-tan? I sighed.
"Nothing yet, but Utau said she felt a human. We're going to look into it. Have you found anything?" I asked.
"Yes, Yaya found blood, it's not human but it's vampire blood." Yaya said.
"Okay, I'll check on Kairi. Cat to Baby Girl Over and out." I said hanging up. "Wait, human? Blood? It can't be. No. it wouldn't work." Ryuu mumbled. I called Kairi.
"Neko to Samurai. What have you found?" I asked.
"Bodies and a vampire hunting weapon. Seems like we have a vampire hunter on the lose." He said. "Okay, don't do anything stupid. Track him; I'll meet up with the others. Neko to Samurai over and out." I said hanging up.
"Vampire hunter? Shit shit shit! We're screwed!" Ryuu yelled. He ran off the roof to go inside. I tried to stop him but he left to quickly.
Nagi came up to the roof with his phone. "Hey, the human is no where to be found. His presence disappeared." Nagi said.
"It's a Vampire hunter. I don't know if he is Nightmare but he is still a danger." I said to Nagi.
"There was a blood barrier but it seems to be tampered with. This person is not just some vampire hunter. He seems to be skilled. We should get back to Amu." Nagi said.
I nodded and we walked back in. Amu was there with Rima but just as we were about to walk to them, her grandfather made an announcement.
"Hello everyone, I would like to thank you for coming. Also, I would like to make sure you have met all my granddaughters. Lulu Hinamori and Ami Hinamori. But I'm not sure you all met my other granddaughter, Amu Hinamori." He said pointing at Amu. Amu blushed. She was the center of attention. Ryuu was at Lulu's side wide eyed.
"She has become of age, please congratulation her." He said sitting down. All eyes were on Amu. I slowly walked to her and hugged her. "Talk about an introduction." I whispered.
I felt my phone vibrate so I left Amu to take the call. It was from Kairi.
"I-Ikuto-san You s-should come down here.. Utau-san and Yaya are here…. Bring Nagihiko and Rima-san…" he said hanging up.
I grabbed Nagi and Rima and followed Kairi's scent. I had to leave Amu. Kairi and them were in danger.
Amu p.o.v
Everybody had eyes on me. Not with admiration but with hunger. I looked around me to see no one. I wasn't scared. I couldn't be. I felt my phone buzz and pulled it out.
