Chapter 12

As the whispers go on

The shadows dance in the dark

Slowly the crimson petals

Of the rose fall in the

Footsteps of the Whisperer

"The Whisperer" by xxxmidnightstarxxx (DON'T STEAL!!!!)

"I-Ikuto, stop," Amu begged. She was frightened. Trying to push him off, she was at the point of giving up.

Ikuto paid no attention. He was gazing at her neck longingly. He opened his mouth and his fangs grew bigger. They were white and sharp.

Slowly he moved to Amu's neck, ready to take her blood. Amu closed her eyes, preparing herself for the bite. Suddenly-

"IKUTO!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO AMU?!!!!!" Utau barged in, furious and shocked.

Ikuto woke up. "Wha-"He stared at Amu, who was on the verge of tears. "Don't tell me-I almost bit…Amu?!" he asked Utau and Amu.

Utau and Amu nodded. "I was with Kagami and she told me that she felt the presence of someone ready to bite someone. I guessed it was you," Utau explained.

Ikuto's eyes widened, and he ran out the room. Amu sat up shakily. Ikuto was about to bite her to turn her into one of his kind. Even though she already was one.

Utau sat next to her. "Amu, are you okay?" she asked.

Amu nodded. Just then Hiroko burst into the room, her face streaked with tears.

"What is it?!" Utau and Amu said. Hiroko looked at them.

"Kagami went to the Council."

At the Council

"I never thought you would come here, Kagami-sama," Elder Maki said.

Kagami just gave him a blank stare. She knew about Ankoku and Anei Maki. That was why she hated him.

"Kagami is that you? Why are you here?!" Sumiko cried.

"It's about Amu Hinamori, Ikuto-nii-san's lover. From what I'm noticing, you, the Council, are planning something to her. Am I correct?" Kagami interrogated.

Kazue came over and smirked. "We can't tell you, because you'd tell Ikuto," he replied.

Kagami got angry. Kazue treated her like a little doll that would break. Her dark midnight blue-black eyes turned black…

"Stop, Kagami."

Kagami whirled around. She saw Midori Hinamori, with a worried face. Kagami's eyes turned back to normal. After all, her power was to cause death and life. Her eyes turned black for death, blue for life. Unfortunately, like Ankoku, it put a strain on her body.

"I will take Kagami from here," Midori instructed.

"Of course, Midori-sama," Elder Maki soothed. Kagami shot him a dark look.

After they left Midori said," Kagami, please take me to where Amu is." Kagami nodded.

Back at Ikuto's House

"Amu, can you go get Ikuto?" Utau asked. Amu agreed.

"Ikuto!!!! Where are you?" Amu called outside. After searching for a while, she found him lying on the grass.

"Amu…," he murmured when he saw her.

"Are you okay? You looked sick when you ran out," Amu questioned.

Ikuto sighed and sat up. Amu sat next to him. "You don't understand, Amu. I almost bit you! What would've happened?" he exclaimed.

"I really wouldn't care. Besides, I could be with you forever," Amu declared. Ikuto looked shocked, but then kissed her head.

"You don't know how much I love you," he whispered.

"Hmmm," Amu hummed. Her head was on his shoulder.

"Amu!!!!!!"

Amu immediately stood up. She knew that voice!

Flashback

"Amu, I'm going to change you…"

"M-Mother?"

"You'll be safe…away from this bloody and tainted world…where you were born…."

Amu was shocked. What was that memory?! She had seen herself as a little girl…and her mother…hugging her…and chanting…a…spell?

What? She felt…suddenly, hungry? For what? Blood? But why all of a sudden?!

Midori saw what was happening and her eyes widened. The seal was slowly breaking.

Ikuto noticed it too, but not the seal part. (Because he doesn't know about it yet)

"Amu what's wrong?!" he cried.

Amu turned to him shakily. "I d-don't k-know. I-It's l-like I'm…hungry…f-for…b-blood," she stammered.

"Blood?! How is that possible?!"

"I d-don't know!"

"What will you do, Midori-san?" Kagami asked.

Midori wasn't sure. She didn't even tell Ikuto about the seal.

Amu suddenly lost control and her vampire self took over. Turning to Ikuto she leaped at him. She looked at his neck and opened her mouth. Then she let her fangs grow.

The dream that goes on

Silently whispers to the

Crying child waiting

Forever for the love

And warmth that it lost

For eternity the tears

Form a sacred river

As the child continues

To cry in the never-

Ending moonlight
