Last Chapter: "Just like how you and Yuki have a story to tell, so do I."
Chapter 25 - Unveiling the Past
The butterflies gathered up in front of Kaname and stuck together, forming Tsuki's body once again.
Tsuki released a deep sigh. "Kaname, let's not play games right now. You want answers? Ya? Then stop trying to kill me. Let me repeat myself. I'm not your enemy." Tsuki took a step forward, letting the moonlight hit her face - revealing flawless ivory skin. She appeared so fragile.. yet menacing, but Kaname wasn't going to back down. It was obvious that Kaname was just playing her - afterall he is the older and stronger of the two.
Kaname regained his composture, replied. "Silly me. I shouldn't have let my emotions get the best of me. What made you think my reason of trying to kill you is related to Yuki? Besides, you aren't in your pureblood form at the moment. If I truly wanted to kill you, you would be dead by now. I'm just testing you to see what you would do if you were under attack."
"I just happen to be in distress since Yuki is in another person's hands & the kidnappers happen to be connected to you. I expect you to bring her back...If anything happens to her, I will have you dead. And also if you truly are a pureblood... from the Akarui family. You are going to be targeted by the Elder Council. You weren't suppose to be alive. Also, I would prefer Cross Academy to only have one leader. One pureblood. Two is cramping my style." Kaname's sarcastic tone caught Tsuki off guard.
"Woah Kaname, didn't know that you actually had a personality. Thought you were always cool and composed and nice." Tsuki replied sarcastically as well. "Anyway's... Isn't the Elder Council your enemy as well? We should be allies, not enemies you bi-polar brunette."
Kaname scoffed. "No need to pretend around you. Whether or not the Elder Council is my enemy is none of your business. Also, I know you went out and did some researching in your spare time. While you were researching, I sent people to spy on you... Although that didn't come off very successful...since they didn't come back. I'm assuming you took care of them? Since you were so thoughtful to kill my henchmen, you have the honor of explaining yourself."
Tsuki closed her eyes and a deep annoyed sigh escaped from her mouth. "Kaname, I didn't expect this either. It's not like you need to know the truth, but I didn't expect to lie to myself in the process as well. I mean at first you were on my hate list... Gah, never mind that. Anyway... My mother before she died placed a spell on me very similar to what Yuki is under right now..."
"So you know of Yuki's real form? How much do you exactly know of this?" Kaname interrupted.
"Kaname. Shut it. If you keep interrupting me, this will take days to explain everything." Tsuki replied monotonously. Kaname's eyes narrowed and frowned a bit to show his displeasure.
"...My actual identity was hidden under a cloaking spell and my memory was erased. Kaosu had the same procedure done to him as well... but in the pureblood family of Akarui's my mother... had some complications. My mother, Emiko Akarui, was engaged to a pureblood , in the name of Hiroki Hinoiri - my father. He was the last of the Hinoiri purebloods and needed a pureblood wife. She was engaged to keep the linage of Akarui going because she was the last of the youngest generation. The Akarui elders wanted pureblood lineage to continue so she wasn't allowed to marry anyone lower than purebloods."
"Unexpectedly, my mother fell in love with a different vampire, but ... he was a noble vampire. At that time, this was literally considered illegal. They took drastic measures to seperate the two so the Akarui elders had that noble vampire killed. His identity is still unknown to me but that noble vampire was indeed Kaosu's father. Me...and Kaosu. We are fraternal twins."
"After the death of Kaosu's father, my mother went depressed and almost suicidal. She did not want to marry Hiroki because she was still deeply in love with Kaosu's father. At that time, little does my mother know - she was already pregnant with me and Kaosu. Shortly, Hiroki and my mother were married like how the elders planned it. To Hiroki's surprise, Emiko's stomach grew bigger and bigger shortly from getting married. Hiroki came to the conclusion that the child in Emiko's stomach was the noble vampire that she loved. Hiroki felt betrayed and was furious so he plotted against the Akarui family. Hiroki was one of the main leaders the Elder Council followed orders under so he had an advantage. He had a good friend of his, a Kuran... I believe your uncle...Rido, murder all the Akarui elders. Being at their age, they were no match against the young purebloods. The Elder Council deals with recording history and this went down in the books as the Akarui Massacre..."
Kaname replied. "Odd, Akarui Massacre? That happened... many many years ago. Before even Yuki was born...but wait..."
"Ya I know, but they recorded it that Emiko murdered her whole family." Tsuki responded.
"..Yes, I was going to say that. There were no records of my uncle and Hiroki killing the Akarui family. It was written down that Emiko went insane and killed her whole entire family and then ... committing suicide?" Kaname's eye brows raised in question.
"No, she didn't commit suicide. She was due to have me and Kaosu very soon...but she knew that if Hiroki found us - he'll kill us for sure. Emiko had to devise a plan and quick. After she gave birth to us, she placed a cloaking spell over us - making us appear as human infants. My mother secretly handed us over to her close friend from the noble family Kaiyou. Her friend figured the best place to hide vampires is the place you least expect them...So she dropped us off near by a vampire hunter clan - Mikomi. Not long after Emiko gave birth to us, Hiroki found her. She already placed a spell on herself so that it appeared she was still pregnant. Hiroki...my father, murder my mother with no second thoughts. Hiroki thought he had killed the child in my mother's stomach, but obviously since I'm standing here - he didn't. Satisfied with his revenge, my father moved out of the country to deal with other issues and I believe he remarried. He's still alive and if he knew we were still alive and kicking, he will come back and kill us with his own hands."
"Hiroki Hinoiri...He sounds familiar. Yes, he did move out of the country when I was still a child. No wonder I don't remember much about him." Kaname mused.
"Ya, it is better off he stays out of the country... I don't want him back any time soon... " Tsuki said darkly. "Or ever. I don't know which one is more pathetic: how my father hates my mother so much that he would probably kill his own daughter or the fact that amazingly he never found out that we were still alive...Ahh, getting off topic...So, we grew up thinking we were human...and to be specific, we were raised in a vampire-free environment. We didn't know the existence of vampires. Shortly though...The Mikomi clan was murdered by the orders of another pureblood. Oh god, I'm in a fucking tangled up situation.. haha you have no idea. That's another story to tell - well why the Mikomi clan was murdered. Not important right now though."
"We weren't that old at that time, when the Mikomi clan was murdered. I would say uhh 6 or 7? We just realized 'oh vampires exist and they kill my whole family. Got to take revenge - best way to do it is to follow their vampire hunter linage. So we took what ever was left over from the vampire hunter clan: books, weapons, etc. We then joined the Vampire Hunter Society and trained ourselves to be hunters. We ran into Headmaster Cross around then. Figured out that he was good friends with my adopted parents. That guy was incredibely annoying. 2 faced almost. Blah, getting off topic once again."
"I grew up hating vampires with a passion. BIG hate for them. Went into a identity crisis when I first turned into a vampire during the full moon ... when I was 13? I hated myself, for being a vampire - even if it only lasted one day. In denial (that's when I turned back into a human), I went to do some research on why I would just turn into a vampire during full moons. Came up with the results that was... half breeds or better yet half vampires. Little did I know, the spell was starting to wear off. That is why I started to turn into a vampire on the full/new moons. I kept that from the Hunter's Society...It's probably better off that they don't know anyway. My brother, Kaosu, had this happen a bit later since he was a noble blood - weaker in general."
"It wasn't till I reached Cross Academy is where the spell started to weaken a lot more. Kaosu took notice of this... we were both very confused. We thought we were just.. half-vampires, could it been more than just that? Kaosu and me debated on who was going to leave Cross Academy to do researching. A deadly battle of rock-paper-scissors was played. Stupid Kaosu won, so he left the Academy temporoarily to figure out some things. We met up secretly and he told me some...devastating news."
"Kaosu! There you are. So... what's the news. What was so urgent that you had me pretend I was had to use the restroom really bad to dip from class?" I questioned, while walking towards Kaosu. We were in a secluded area - in a alley between two class buildings.
Kaosu's face looked overwhelmed almost. "Tsuki...This is crazy, and I know you might not believe it but...I was looking up some stuff on half breds in a vampire library (when I was in my vampire form duh) and I came across something dealing with spells...that purebloods can do. Purebloods are able to put spells that can turn a vampire human and vice versa."
My eyes widened. "W-what? How can that be? That doesn't make sense! This is a lame joke you are pulling Kaosu." I let out a half assed chuckle, slapping his arm.
Kaosu pull away from my range and insisted. "NO! I'm not joking around dumb ass. Damn, if I wanted to pull a prank on you - it would be more epic that that" Kaosu boasted, slamming his fist against his chest. "But..ya, your symptoms...well just the fact that we're staying in vampire form a lot longer in each passing moon...That isn't the case for half-breds. They only stay vampire/human only in 1 day of the new/full moon - depending on if they are more vampire or human. ONLY 1 day. There has been no exception to this rule."
I wasn't liking where this conversation was going. "C-continue on?" I was afraid of what was coming.
"I read couple articles on the different spells a pureblood can pull of. In this one case... a pureblood fell in love with a human man and transformed herself into a human to elope with him. The spell wears off quicker on purebloods so slowly she had the effects you were getting."
"She took the form of a half vampire at first. Then a noble blood and finally her true self. Each stage lingers for a bit, but the pace gets faster and faster as it approaches the end. I know I grew up hating on vampires, but poor girl. She was so in love - but her love ended up killing her."
"...So you're telling me, I'm a pureblood? Then what the hell - how come you aren't getting the same effects as me?" I demanded. I was appalled. I fucking hated on purebloods... not even, I hated on all vampires for the longest time ever... and now I find out that what I hated is what I am.
"...Tsuki" Kaosu gave a frustrated expression. "I don't know. I'm starting to doubt we're even related... or not completely related...or maybe I'm just slow haha. Always been one step behind you in everything we do.."
I ran up to him and tackled him to the floor, smacking his face left and right. "KAOOOOSUUU. No matter what happens, you are still my brother. We always had each other and I intend to keep it that way. Understood bitch?" He stopped my smacking and gave me a hug.
"Ya I know."
Tears started to form from my eyes. I held it back. Hell no I don't plan on crying...Okie I lied there, I dropped a few tears here and there. "DUMB ASS, let go of me! What ever we are...we aren't emotional!" I joked, brushing my tears aside.
"Psh, hey at least I didn't cry. You know why? Cause I'm a mannnnnn" He boasted again, brushing dust off his shirt.
"Shut it, I don't want to lose my brother. Can't you cut me some slack?" I growled, "Besides, I got to get back to class. Teacher must be thinking I'm taking a long shit or something haha."
"Devastating news? Do tell?" Kaname questioned. What was taking Tsuki so long to respond.
Tsuki snapped back to reality. "Oh, he came news telling me about the spells purebloods can place on others...I finally accepted that I was most likely a pureblood because the spell's effects were wearing off quickly. The spell is different from Yuki's though...It wasn't made to last a long ass time. Yuki's spell I bet will stay till activated by something. But ya..." Tsuki replied. "I then did some research on my own..."
"Kaname-sama. Tsuki-san. Sorry to interrupt, but erm...Tsuki-san. Your brother returned to Cross Academy... not alone. He seemed to be accompanied by another person?"
