Hello. Hope you enjoy the chap.

Chapter XIII

A week later

Blue sighed as she walked down the hall of the Whammy's House. She'd just came back from delivering hers and Near's plate to the kitchen. She always wondered why her tiger friend never ate in one of the dining rooms. It would be a bunch of help to why she had to go back and forth.

"Ms. Blue, could you come here for a moment?" The mixed harpy looked for the voice. She knew who it was but she didn't know where the voice was coming from. "Right here, Ms. Blue." She turned to be faces with over dilated eyes that engulfed silver.

"Good morning."

"Ah, yes, good morning." The dark red head looked at the floor while waiting what the shape shifter had to say. "Ms. Blue did you know that you have very versatile features."

"Wha–" The words didn't even make it out as he took her face in his pale hand and studied her. His pupils were so black they reminded her of small mirrors.

"Though because of your father's genes you gained some of his seductive qualities. It didn't really matter, because you can be just mistaken as a flirtations witch or maybe your cousin the siren." He moved his eyes to her skin. "Your complexion is also nice. It's pale but also healthy which gives it a slight tanned appearance."

"Sir, what are you talking about?"

L stepped back and looked at the mixed harpy. She may not be happy about who are parents are but because of her parents she will become quite useful. "Have your wings healed?"

Lavender eyes blinked and red hair shifted as a head nodded. "Excuse me if you may…but what are you talking about?"

"I was thinking." He paused. "Come follow me."

At his command, the harpy walked right behind him. I guess Near will have to wait, she though as she followed him through the multiple halls. It took five minutes but they were in his room. She never really been in the shape shifter's room before, but then again no one has been in the room other than Watari and L himself.

It was very Spartan like. The room was bare with hardly any personal items. There was his portable computer on the desk and there was his book collection. The room was very spacious. On the other side of the room there was a large closet and a door next to it.

This whole setup confused the red head greatly. "What are we doing here?"

The raven walked to the closet and stepped inside. The sound of metal clinking and metal scraping filled the room it only took a minute before a pale hand snuck out into clear view and motion her to stand by the door. When she did as she was quietly asked she took a peek inside the room…but the pale raven already anticipated this and closed the door in her face.

A quiet sigh escaped her lips as she gave up and sat on the floor. It wasn't until her bum met the floor that the door opened revealing the pale shape shifter. He was holding a formal black and gray dress. It was beautiful. The mostly gray dress was long and strapless. There was something sheer to cover up the exposed skin of the collarbone. "I know that you are comfortable with your current attire but that would not do for where you're about to go."

"And where will I be going?" The harpy stood up.

"To Yagami territory." L watched as the girl pulled more into herself. She even seemed to back away from him. "You don't have to worry. You're not doing anything this time. All you have to do is observe. Matt and Mello well be with you so nothing will happen."

"Why me?" She still hasn't let down her guard down. The raven couldn't blame her.

L walked to her. "I would send Mello in your stead but I believe he would take it as an insult."

She smiled a little and her shoulders relaxed. "Okay, what are we doing?"

L felt a tug on his lips as he pull the dress in her line of vision again. "You are going to a ball that will be held this evening." He pulled her to the door next to the closet and opened the door. "The reason why I choose you was because you have versatile features." The room was a powder room or a bathroom. "The King and Queen are hosting this social party for a second chance to find their sons a bride." The shape shifter motioned for her to enter with the dress and then he closed the door again. "Since it is apparent that you are not a vampire or at least not a born vampire you will not be chosen to become the bride."

Blue nodded in the spacious bathroom even though she knew L could not see her. She took the dress and lifted it to her form. It looked like it could fit. She began shredding her yukata. The raven's baritone voice was muffled as he explained more. "Even though you might not be considered as a bride the Royals will take you as a mistress for their son – does the dress fit – because of your looks." She said yes. "Okay remember to take off the binding you won't be needing them." The red head did as was told and took of the binding. Because of the sheer black part on the collar, there was a zipper on the back.

"Are you finished?" L knocked on the door and waited.

Blue stepped the bath room in the dress. It fit perfectly. The dress was suppose to be modest. He had asked Watari if he could go in the human territory and fine a modest dress with dark colors. Now as the harpy stood before him, Watari had done well – as always. Because of her father's blood she had been given sensual features but the dress highlighted nothing. The skin of her collar bone was covered by sheer black material and the length of her dress showed no leg. The only problem now was to cover up her harpy heritage. The ancient writing on her arm, her blue pendant, and permanently her colored nails were easy to cover up. Her sing-song voice should be mistaken for a playful nature.

"Perfect."

"How did you know my size?" She asked and L looked at her eyes. There was one more thing to cover up, that that task would be impossible. Her lavender eyes were sharp like a bird of prey.

"Ms. Blue I tend to know a lot of information." He could just tell her to put her hair in a style that dulled her sharp eyes.

"Okay." The raven could get the very long sleeves to cover up her arm and a shawl to cover her shoulders. It could work.

"Ms. Blue I thank you for your time. Please come back at five this afternoon so you can begin the observation." The harpy nodded and walked back into the bathroom to change her clothes.

"Tsuki." Light turned over in his bed and buried himself deeper in to the covers. "Tsuki." A weight covered his lump form, but Light knew he would be safe for at least a couple of seconds before his brother peeked into his sanctuary of darkness from underneath the covers. "Tsuki."

There was light shining through his dark confined and the golden prince to the liberty to shiver deeper into the covers. It wasn't long before Kira tore back all his shields and left him glaring at his broken reflection. "Yes, Kira."

Reddish hazel eyes watched as his twin sat up in the bed. His usually perfect hair was mussed in an attractive bed head way. "Tsuki has been sleep for hours. It's now two in the afternoon and the party starts at six. You have four hours to prepare."

Light shrugged his shoulders. He didn't really care four hours was more than enough time to get ready. He looked at his twin and started to feel self-conscious. Last night he went to sleep without a shirt because his body was too hot – thanks to the thoughts of a certain wolf – and irony in the morning his body alerted him that his was beginning to get cold – thank to the thought of his brother coming into the room. Now as he sat in bed with his upper body bare, he had the sudden urge to tell his twin to stop staring and leave.

"If you leave then I can get dress." Light said pulling the cover unconsciously.

"There's nothing on your body that I don't have." The dark vampire must have thought his 'comforting' words would encourage the golden prince to get dress in front of him. He'll pass.

"Can you just tell mom and dad that I'll be down in a minute?" The vampire frowned but did as he was asked. The bed was liberated from the extra weight as the other prince walked out the room.

Light let out a need sigh and fell back unto the bed. He wanted to go to sleep and dream about last week but his parents were already worried enough. The day after that night he was sore and rarely left his room. His sister came in and asked him if he was feeling alright. He had told her yes and that his stomach hurt from not feeding. It was a lie because he was still full of the wolf's blood but he had to think of an excuse for his little sister. She seemed to by it and left to go tell their parents. There was so much unneeded attention that day. There was also Kira, who was over him like a second shadow. Always there when he woke up and always there when he went to sleep. What was up with his twin lately?

"You seem stressed." Howls of laughter cause the prince to open his eyes. Bulging yellow and red was staring at him. A wide face-splitting smile was the opposite of his straight frown.

"Maybe I am." Light closed his eyes and willed the shinigami away.

"Maybe you need another session with your bitch." The death god frowned floating over the prince head. "But then again it was you who took it in, so that would make you his bitch…but on the other hand you're not a female or a dog so then the phrase is pointless."

Light sat up and looked at Ryuk. "How do you know?"

"I know a lot of things Raito. Some information I know other I find out –whether I'm interested or not."

"You came back in my room?" The prince was furious but what can he do? A week has passed and it wasn't like the death god could go tell his parents.

"I was going to tell you that there were no more apples but it seemed that you were…busy." Laughter filled the room again as Ryuk balanced his head in his hand.

"Before you ask, they're in the drawer." Light said walking into the bathroom. He knew that the death god would get tired of waiting on him and just leave in at peace.

Light stepped into shower and turned the knob the other way. This caused warm water to spray on the prince from above. His body relaxed and his mind started to wonder. The wolf liked his neck; he could almost feel the wolf worrying at his neck and those hands on his waist. A sigh escaped his lips as he began to wash his heated skin. The scented soap didn't help his mind either. He thought about how the wolf was under him. Those passionate silver eyes were hooded in pleasure every time he moved up and down in his shaft. The scent of the wolf covered his skin making him want to mold with his being. He couldn't get enough.

Light's hand reacted lower to wash his chest. His eyes were closed and his breath sped up. He rubbed his nipples harder than needed be but he didn't care. A soft moan came out his mouth as he pinched the hard nub experimentally. The wolf did this to him. His lower body ached. It was tight and stiff. Dazed hooded eyes looked down and took himself in his hand. His breath hitched and his hands were shaking. He never done this before but he guessed that it wasn't that hard to do. He heard sexual experiences were a way to release stress. It didn't matter why he was doing it, just that fact that he was doing it mattered. He moved his shaking hand up and then down. It was slow at first but then as the warm water tickled on his skin he gained more confidence. He pumped himself and squeezed when he felt himself draw near.

He gave a harsh tug and slipped on the smooth surface of shower. His fluids covered not only his hand but his whole body. He got his release but he was also embarrassed. The prince stood up on quaky legs and finished washing himself. There was a black towel laid out on the counter of the sink. He quickly dried himself off and wrapped the towel tightly around his waist. Just in case someone was outside in his room.

"You feel better now." The raspy voice almost made Light jump. He wasn't expecting Ryuk to still be in the next room. Was he loud? He didn't remember.

"Yes." Light walked to his closet with his wet hair covering his face. He pulled out a black formal shirt with his family's crest, in crimson red, on the shoulder of the sleeves and black pants. He didn't want to be too dressy since he didn't plan on staying the whole evening. "Are you just going to stare?"

The death god laughed and submerged under the floor. "I'll just bother your brother then."

Once Light knew for sure that the shinigami was gone he changed quickly and walked down stairs. Outside his room was chaos. The servants were running back and forth carrying decorations and food. He was almost run over by one of his father's men; Matsuda Light thought his name was but someone pulled him to the side.

"My prince you have to be more careful." Light looked at concerned brown eyes hued with red. Mikami Teru, his old playmate, was the one that moved him out the way.

"Thank you." He stood up and dusked off his form.

"My prince, your Royal Highest told me to guard you throughout this event." Light nodded his head but he didn't like the concept of someone following and watching him. He looked at the other vampire. He had his glasses on which made him look like the studious type. His black hair was long and neat framing his face.

"So I have a male escort, this evening…fabulous." The prince said walking down the hall.

"My prince," There was faint reddish on his cheeks. "Please bear with me. I am sorry if you don't find my company enjoyable."

Light said nothing as they arrived at grand stair case. His movement was perfection, graceful with every step. The prince wasn't aware of the eyes following him. He walked straight to his parents room. It took less than he thought to find them. His mother and father were ordering the servants to make last adjustments to everything. His father was tasting the wines and food.

"Mother, Kira said you wanted me?" Light didn't get a 'yes' but he did get a breath stealing hug. His mother was gifted in strength, just it his dad.

"Yes, you had us worried. You slept al morning. You know how many times we sent Kira to wake you?" At that question Light stiffened. Kira was in his room when his was unconscious?

"I am sorry to worry you, Mother. I guess I was just very tired."

"Well already, now go see to your father." The golden prince nodded and went to see the elder vampire.

"Dad?" His father was sipping the red content out of the thin glass. He was dressed in a formal grey suit.

"Raito, I just wanted to tell you that you aren't limited towards these girls."

"I'm sorry?"

His father put a hand on his shoulder and showed him the girls that were entering the room. "I'm you find someone outside the party then you are welcome to bring them into the castle."

It was such an odd thing to say but Light would keep it in mind. He wasn't interested in any other the girls that walked through the doors. He wasn't even interested in any females. The only person that seemed to have his undivided attention was L, the black shape shifter. He wondered what his family would say to that. He would bring the wolf as his mate. It wasn't a girl that could bear his children but he was the most power being to hold the highest chair on the Omega. Would the wolf endless accomplishments make his parents forget about the cons of their relationships?

"Thanks, Dad, that's good to know."

"I feel silly." Blue murmured into the small necklace she was wearing.

"Well, you look silly."

"You're not helping, tiger." She said as a girl she didn't know bump into her. It was horrible that the girl had the nerve to bump into her and look at her like it was her fault.

"I think you should watch where you're going." The girl said. She had short black hair and gray eyes. She didn't exactly look like a vampire but Blue suppose it didn't matter.

"Next time I will thank you." The red head smiled and went back to walking around the ballroom. It was too many people for her liking and to make matters worse they were all girls. It was too much estrogen for her. She could blame this on her parents. Harpies and succumbi tend to hang around the male population a bit more than females.

"Excuse me, could you come here for a moment." Blue froze as the voice called to her. She didn't want to make a scene however, so she walked towards the voice.

The man who called her was tall and looked fatherly. His hair was streaked with silver and he wore glasses and a suit. His features were eerily familiar. "I was wondering if you could come with me for a second." The harpy's heart thumped him her chest as she thought about this. She didn't know who this man was and she didn't want to cause a scene by rejecting his offer. What should she do? L had said that help was right outside the door if anything were to happen.

"Sure." She swallowed the lump in her throat and held her hand out. The older man took her hand and led her through the crowd of women. The all moved away from them as they came by. Was this man important?

"You know you have a lovely voice." The man said. It seemed natural for him to compliment her but it just put her on the edge.

L had told her that she would not be chosen to be the bride but the mistress instead. She had a feeling that his man was the king. Her heart dropped to her stomach. It wasn't that she was scared it was just that the last time when she was on the mission she ended up getting her wing broken and the other fractured. Her back ached at the memory. Now she was in the territory of the prince suspected for murdering the Lycans and attacking her and Near.

She had nothing to worry about, right?

The golden prince she met didn't seem that dangerous. She met that he was dangerous but he didn't seem like the one to attack without a meaningful excuse. When he was provoked then he seemed the most dangerous. She didn't know how well her character judgment was but she hoped that she was right.

The harpy was thrown out of her thought when they started walking up some stairs. She had to keep up with his fast pace. Her gray dress, that the black shape shifter got her, was dragging on the floor. Her heels were clacking on the floor softly despite her harsh steps. They started to slow down once they reached a small girl. She had her hair in a cute braided bun with glittering clips in her chocolate hair. Her eyes were big and innocent but Blue knew better to judge this girl as purely innocent.

"Daddy, who is this?" Sayu asked as she whispered into her father's ear. Her small heels gave her some height as she stood on her tippy toes.

She looked at the older girl before her. There was something about her. She didn't look like the other female guess that were in there house. She was somewhat tall with very long dark red hair. In the light you could see the natural highlights of a lighter red in her hair. Her hair style was different. Some of the long hair in the back was in a bun while the rest of the hair flowed down. She was wearing a pretty gray and black dress that seemed longer than the girl wearing it. She had on an onyx choker and matching earrings. She wore the long gloves that covered her arm but that wasn't what got the little vampire. It was the girl's eyes. They were a soft purple that had something underneath them.

"Daddy, she's very pretty. Is she for Nii-san or Onii-sama?" Sayu could see the girl blushing a little bit.
It looked mostly out of embarrassment. She would maybe be a match for Onii-sama. Even though the girl is acting shy, the little vampire knew she wasn't really that shy at all. Maybe she was more modest and reserved with adults but this girl maybe cunning and tricky if she was with someone her own age.

"I was just going to introduce her to–"

"Ohh, Daddy, can I do it?!"

Soichiro watched his daughter for a moment. "Alright."

"Thank you, Daddy." She gives the older man a hug and takes the glove hand of the red head girl.

"Wait, I never got your name."

Blue tensed as he asked her that question. What should she say? "Violet Merridew." A calm voice whispered in her ear. She was grateful that someone could feel her distress. The little ear piece was safely hidden by her hair.

"Violet Merridew." She said with a small smile.

"Wow, such a pretty mane." The little girl gave the harpy a smile of her own.

"Are you from around here?" The man asked. He seemed generally interested in her background.

"No, my parents are both European." She said.

"So cool." Sayu said. She liked this girl.

"Well, Ms. Merridew I hope you enjoy the festivities." The man bowed a little and walked off.

"I like your hair." Blue wasn't really good with kids but she'll give it a shot.

"Thank you, I like yours."

The girl stopped and turned around. Her little heels came to a halt. She looked at her with a new found interest. "Can I touch it?" The harpy was going to reply 'touch what' but then she understood the girl wanted to touch her hair. She lowered herself so she wasn't exactly touching the ground. It wasn't long before the girl combed her little hand through her hair. "It's soft."

"Isn't your hair soft too?"

"It is but I like the color of your hair." The way the girl said this made Blue rethink her decision on stoop to this girl's level. The chocolate haired girl said this like her hair reminded her of something. Blue knew this girl was a vampire. Lavender eyes could see the tiny fangs every time the girl talked.

Was she hungry?

"Oh, I almost forgot why you're here." Blue stood up to her full height and looked down at the girl.

"What?"

"I have to take you to Onii-sama." The vampire took her hand and began tugging at arm. The harpy had no trouble keeping up with the girl's small legs. Onii-sama? Who was that? The golden prince? He would know who she was as soon as he sees her face. That wouldn't be good. Maybe he would be nice enough to not blow her cover. He would know better because she knew that he was seeing L. She didn't have to say L but she could just say a shape shifter.

That would work.

As they closed in on the prince they started to slow down. The golden prince had his back towards them as he was talking to two other girls. A blonde in a gothic dress and the girl she had bumped into earlier. The one with the dark hair glared as she saw them approach and the blonde just looked.

"Onii-san, I want you to meet someone."

The prince turned around and Blue knew automatically that this wasn't the prince she met. His eyes were different. They had the very faint hue of red to them.

The person took the harpy's gloved hand and brought it to his lips. "Good evening, I'm Prince Kira Yagami."

I'm going to stop there. I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter, big thanks to all who reviewed and reads the story. It makes me happy that people say that this isn't your normal vampire/werewolf story.

I wanted to put some humor in the beginning of the chapter. Sometimes I don't think I'm funny but I'll give it a shot. Blue has met Kira…what do you all thing will happen? Personally I would be scared if I was thrown into a environment where I know the killer is at and meet the people that are behind all this mess (not that Blue knows that.)

The bathroom scene with Light was on a whim. I never read a fic that has this type of "scene" and have them slip and fall. I find that funny but anyway, enough with my rambling.

Again I hope you enjoyed the chapter and thank you for reading and reviewing, please do it again.
