Chapter 11 - Confrontation (Marco's First Evil Plot)

In the previous chapter, Carrina (Larmina) introduced Jaden, Jerry and Kindaichi to her fellow vampires. But however, Marga, her older sister, had secretly sneaked in the castle, to catch him but somehow, Carrina came to his aid, preventing her from hurting him. After Marga retreated away, the two are spent time together alone at the beach, in which the same place where she and Mino first met with each other. After that, they went back to the castle but then Desirus tells her that her former husband Marco, will came to the castle in order to eliminate Jaden, as he saw the prediction on his mind.

Will Carrina can able to protect him from her former vampire husband's evil threat? Will Jerry can able to sensed the real presence in inside of his master's soul? Will it could be the start for the vegetarian vampires to protect their own kingdom and the fellow human being?

Find Out

A hour later, Judai had regained consciousness again at the room, with his pet Jerry along with Kindaichi and Desirus were on his side while Carrina was drinking some animal bloods on a chalice cup, that it was owned by her father.

" Where am I? " he asked, turned his head, facing to them

" You are here in this room on the second floor. " Desirus answered

" It was the first time that I had seen you have been fainted in front of others a while back ago. " Kindaichi said to him

" But why that evil vampire husband of hers wanted to killed my master? " Jerry asked Desirus

" Is because he was getting jealous at him because he knows that my sister was in a secret relationship with him. But I'm not so sure if that's the real reason why he wanted to killed him because he was a mortal human being. " Desirus said in response

" Will Carrina-san can able to handled this, facing her own vampire husband in a secret battle fight? It doesn't make sense... " Kindaichi asked

" According to one of the main rules of the vampire law, a vampire should fight against an another vampire, in a deathly brutal bloody fight. It was still followed this rule until now. " Desirus stated

" But then, how should a vampire should defeated the other vampire? " Jerry asked

" By having more blood from living creatures. " Desirus said in response

Jerry and Kindaichi were shocked in horror of what he had said.

" more blood? If a vampire drink a blood from a living creature just like animals... it means... " Kindaichi uttered

" He or she will getting much stronger and powerful than ever seems... but there is an another way to make us, vampires to get more stronger and powerful. " Desirus said

" What was it? " Jerry asked

" By drinking some blood from someone who was very close to you. " Desirus said in response

" No way... " Jerry uttered, with shockness on his face

Then, Carrina turns her back, went approached to them.

" Are you really sure about this, Sister? Your former husband was so very strong than ever it seems. " Desirus asked her, with worried expression on his face

" This is the only way... I will make sure that he will never get near to my kingdom or to Judai as well... I had drink lots of animal bloods to make myself stronger. " Carrina said to him

" But you need more blood to make you even more stronger than ever. If you were running out of blood, you will getting weak and pale. You need a stronger and pure blood in order to make you even more stronger and powerful. " Desirus said

Carrina, turned her head to Judai, whose was his facial expression had become anxious with fear, cold and pale.

He turned his head away from her, said with fear " I don't wanted to let it that to happened. I know that you are facing your former vampire husband all by yourself. But somehow, I feared that in my mind that you will gonna died immediately. "

She went to his aid, wrapped both of her hands on around of his shoulder, said to him " I know you are concerning about my safety but I have no other choice but to faced him all by myself. That's the one of the main rules of the vampire law just like Desirus said it back when. But don't worry, I will win in this fight, I promise. "

" Do you really think so? "

" It will "

The two are looking at each other, in a romantic manner while the three were act romantically towards to them.

" So, are you going out now then? " he asked

" Of course, but first, I need your blood, please. " she requested

" She needs my master's blood? But, she was a vegetarian vampire. " Jerry asked with a surprise manner

" There is no exception in the vampire law that any kind of vampires shall able to sucked blood from a mortal human being. even vegetarians just like us can able to do it. But somehow, it had already happened a month back ago. " Desirus answered in response

" Eh?! Carrina-san had already sucked his blood from before?! in where? " Kindaichi asked with a surprise expression on his face

" It was a long explanation. " Desirus replied

" No kidding me... " Jerry uttered, as he faced his head to his master

" Of all the mortal human beings in this planet, Judai Yuki was the only mortal human being who has the most strongest pure blood although my sister's past human lover, Mino Del Valle, was considered to be the first mortal human being to have that the same manner but Judai's blood was far more stronger and purer than any other living human beings in this planet. " Desirus stated

" So, that's explains it why your evil vampire sibling, Marga had came to after him because he has the most strongest purest blood. " Kindaichi said

" Precisely it is " Desirus uttered

But suddenly, they heard a loud noise from the outside of the castle.

" What was that? " Jerry wondered in a surprise manner

Carrina hurriedly went out, to the house stand, saw Marco was standing outside, holding a weapon on his hand while the other vampires who were guarding the castle, were been easily knocked down on the ground. She was surprised of what she had saw.

" So, I'm glad that we meet again, my beloved. " with amusement on his face

Then, Jerry, Desirus, Kindaichi and Judai went out too, were surprised when they saw Marco for the very first time in personal.

" So... that was him? " Kindaichi asked Desirus

" He is " Desirus replied

" No kidding me... " Jerry uttered, with a surprise expression on his face

Marco slowly stepped forward in, facing to the house stand where Carrina was standing at.

" I never thought that you will came here so fast. But, I will never allowed you to killed of my fellow vampires. " Carrina said, with a little mad expression on her face

" Aww, you still cold hearted as always... after you had divorced me... but somehow, you will never denied me. " Marco said

" me? to denied you? Look, I don't care if I will go back to you again. If you will never to be punished, just leave the castle at once and never go back again here anymore! " Carrina told him

" You are trying to throw me out?! Well, if you don't really have cared for me. I will gonna killed your precious human lover first! " Marco shouted, as he jumped in, launched his weapon to killed Judai, who was standing beside her

Carrina went to his defense, used her supersonic power to make him immobilized. Jerry and Kindaichi were surprised of what they had saw.

" Is that... one of Carrina-san's vampire power abilities? " Jerry asked Desirus

" Exactly it is. supersonic power is one of the main abilities of an ancient vampire just like her. " Desirus said in response

" No kidding... " Kindaichi uttered

And then, she knocked him with her super speed power, and he fell on the ground.

Driven by anger and resentment, he stand up again, with fit of anger, facing to her " Why you have been defending that human boy, Larmina?! I'm a vampire and you should go with me, not him!! "

" Marco, listen. I won't allowed to spilled some blood of the person whom I truly cares for. No matter of what you will trying to do, you will never killed him by your evil hands. " Carrina said

" Are you saying that you loved him so much?! Are you out of your mind?! " Marco asked, still with anger on his face

" I said I will nev- "

She was almost to finished of what she will gonna say to him as Judai cut in, stepped forward in.

" But, Judai... I... "

" I will handled this, okay? It was unfair that a wife should argued with her own husband. Let me to talked to him. " turned his head to her

No other choice, she resigned herself and then she said, with a deep breath " Okay, if that was your choice, then go ahead and talked to him. "

She stepped aside away from the center. Judai stepped in, facing to Marco. The two men were facing with each other, in different facial expressions.

" So... you must be the ex human lover of my beloved Larmina, huh? I guess that I was so very familiar with your face. " with amusement on his face

" Do you know who I am? "

" Of course not. The duelist representative from a well skilled school named Duel Academia, isn't that correct, Judai Yuki? I had been heard of you that you are one of well prominent students in the entire school. You have an ability to see spirits in every corners. And besides, the person who doesn't believe when it's comes to love matters. "

" love matters? You shouldn't say that in front of me. I had only focused on my own main goal, dueling and besides that, you made Carrina-sama's life miserable. "

" What are you saying?! You are just interfering in my way between her and me. You don't know anything at all about love matters. Only adults can able to know about love. I'm the only man who deserves of what she wanted to asked me to. You are nothing but a weak lame person. "

He nodded his head, uttering the words that he had said " weak... lame... for nothing... " and he said in a loud voice " I don't want to heard that anymore!! "

That very moment, his eyes were turned into a different color (similar to Mino's color of his eyes). Jerry and Kindaichi were surprised of what they had saw.

" What was happening with him? "

" Master Judai-san's emotions were getting stronger than ever seems. I had never seen him just like that from before. " and he thought on his mind " I think I had feel a strange presence that I never felt from before... don't tell me that.. there is an another person in inside of my master's soul...?! "

Even Carrina and Desirus were surprised too of what they had saw. Marco, was surprised in horror when he saw his eyes were in different color.

" No! It can't be! It couldn't be that... "

" I will cursed all of the pure blooded vampires in this world! I will cursed all the malicious creatures in the whole universe!! "

The whole castle had heard his loud voice. The other vegetarians vampires were startled of what was really happened.

Back when, Marco's younger self was reversed into his older self, making him to be shocked in horror.

" No... it can't be... impossible.. " and he looks at him, with gritted anger on his face. Trying to attacked him but he failed, and so he decided to retreat away. Before he could depart, he said " It was not over yet, duelist Judai Yuki. I will make sure that I will killed you at all cost! Mark my words! "

And he vanished away from their sight. When he had already left out, Judai's eye color were returned back to its original color and then he fell fainted, collapsed on the floor. Carrina rushed to his aid, holding him on her arms.

" Judai, can you hear me? "

He opened his eyes, then he looks at her " Carrina-sama... I will be fine... don't worry about me... "

" I had never seen that kind of energy reaction from before. " Desirus said

" Hold on, what are you referring about? " Kindaichi asked him

" I think your energy presence was so very strong than in any other human beings in this planet. I think you have the strong passion in your soul that you should stayed positive in yourself and put aside the negative words and thoughts from your mind. " Desirus said in response

Jerry, was still standing beside Kindaichi, looked at his master, was getting more suspicious on his hidden presence that he had never felt from before.

The next morning, Judai had been walked alone around the castle. When he reached to the pictures section of all the events that the vampires gathered with through every year. But much to his surprise, he saw a large wall picture frame of her and Mino Del Valle was been posted on the wall. He looked at it for a moment but then, he getting felt dizzy, making him to getting panted for the second time. But then, he saw a sheet of a music paper that it was placed on the top of the cabinet. He gets it, and he wondered " What is this? a music paper sheet? "

He turned the paper back, then he saw the name of Mino Del Valle at the bottom of the paper with the title of the song that it was written in Spanish language, titled " My Only True Love " (translated as Mi Unico Amor Verdadero). He looked at the musical lyrics of the song and then he paused for a moment. After a few seconds, he went upstairs, to the house stand outside of the castle, and he sang the song that Mino had composed with.

The sun has rising from the skies

And I raised my hand to reached you

To feel your embrace again...

From the moment that I saw you in my own eyes, my heart was feel with love that I had never felt from before... and I wanted you to be my side always...

Come to me, my only true love...the one that I had been looking for all those years

My feelings were getting stronger and ever

My heart was getting trembling with passion

My soul was feel with delight and happiness

Only I wanted is to come with me, my only true love...

At downstairs, the other vampires were surprised by his singing voice, even Jerry and Kindaichi as well. Carrina, was not there at that time because she went out for hunting down dark werewolves in the mountain forest.

" Is that Mr Judai was singing at the upstairs? " Johanna asked

" Well, sure is. I wondered what song that he singed with. " Jerry responded

They went upstairs. When they reached to the house stand, they stopped walking as he kept singing the song.

Somehow, I felt of being alone and lonely in the shadows

Screaming your name

But you weren't there

Leaving me all alone..!

" Impressive! I had never seen Mr Judai had sing that song that it was written by Mino Del Valle. " Daisy said with amazement

" Eh?!! " Kindaichi wondered in a surprise manner

" Mino Del Valle had written that song? But what was the name of that song anyway? " Jerry asked

" The title name of that song was " My Only True Love ". It was written in Spanish language. It was dedicated to the only woman that he truly loves with, in which no other than Countess Larmina. " Johanna said in response

" My Only True Love, huh? What a nice song that he created with. But why my master sing that song without any practice or something? " Jerry wondered with curiosity

" I don't know, Mr Jerry. Maybe you should asked to your master about that. " Johanna said

" I see " Jerry muttered, nodded his head, looking at his master from afar

He kept on singing

Come to me, my only true love

the one that I had been looking for all those years

To seek your touch and embrace

I wished that I couldn't let you go again and stayed by my side always will be...My only true love

Always will be

Nothing will change

My heart and my soul will always belonged to only you and to you, and nothing else, my only true love...

Meanwhile on the other hand, Asuka, riding on a motorcycle bike, along with Manjoume, were going to the mountain in which where the castle of Carrina was located. But when they almost reached to the destination, they heard a man's singing voice from afar whom they were very familiar with.

" I think that singing voice was sounds familiar to me... don't you think it was.. " he said to Asuka

" I don't know. We must checked out when we get to the castle of the vampire ruler named Carrina. "

" Okay, suit yourself, Tenjoin-kun. "

But they heard the singing voice even louder than ever, with strong passion. They were startled by the singing reaction.

" Maybe we should go now immediately. " she said to Manjoume

" Okay! Okay! just go ahead, Tenjoin-kun. "

Then, the two went in a hurry, to checked who was the person was singing a mysterious song that they had never heard from before. After a hour later, the two were finally reached the entrance of the castle of Carrina but much to their surprise, the male singing voice that they had heard that in which it was no other than Judai, who was still standing at the house stand at upstairs.

" Wait... Judai was the one who singing?!... but his singing voice was looks so different from his original singing voice. " she said, with a surprise manner

" What kind of song that he had sing with? I had never heard of him singing so very passionate. "

But then, they heard Jerry and Kindaichi's voices from the distance.

" It was Jerry-kun and Kindaichi-san! " Manjoume said in a surprise manner

The two went approached to them.

" Asuka-san! Manjoume-san! I had never expected that you two had came here in the castle of Carrina-san. " Jerry said

" We were supposed to see the vampire ruler named Carrina or by her real name Countess Larmina. By the way, why Judai was singing at upstairs? What the title of that song that he sang with? I had never heard that song from before. " Asuka asked

" Well, actually it wa-"

But suddenly, a vampire servant went approached to Desirus and Johanna, said to them, in a saddened expression " I'm so sorry. I'm afraid that she didn't make it. "

" Huh? What do you mean?! " Desirus asked, with a shocking expression on his face

Judai, was surprised of what he had heard, stopped singing and he went hurriedly downstairs, went approached to them.

" Master " Jerry said

" Why you mean that she didn't make it? Just tell me. " Judai asked the vampire servant

" Well, after we finished hunting down the dark werewolves at the top of the mountain, the Countess told me and the other vampires that we will returned back to the location site that she told us before the battle. We have been waiting for her for long hours and we decided to looked for her in every parts of the mountain but however much to our surprise, we had only found the Countess' black cape that it was lying on the ground, with blood stains on it. We have still searching for her until we reached to the edge but there is no sign of her everywhere. I'm afraid that she was already murdered to death by someone else besides the dark werewolves. " the vampire servant said in response

He handled the cape of Carrina to Judai, in which Asuka, Manjoume, Jerry and Kindaichi were shocked of what the vampire servant said.

" Carrina-san... was dead?.. " Jerry uttered

" Impossible... she is an immortal vampire. She can't able to died so easily. " Kindaichi said

" So it means... she was gone for sure?... " Manjoume asked

Desirus and Johanna were getting saddened of the sudden death of Carrina.

" My older sister... " Desirus uttered, nodded his head

" What should we do now? Without the Countess, who will gonna lead our clan? " Johanna asked him

When Judai hold the black cape of Carrina with blood stains on it, and that very moment, he cradled the cape, and he was started to cried in emotional, shouted in a loud voice, kneeled down on the ground.

" No!!! " and he continued crying, still cradling at the black cape of Carrina

Jerry, Kindaichi, and Manjoume were saddened, went approached to him except for Asuka, still standing.

Kindaichi tapped his hand on his shoulder, said " I know it was hard to feel the sadness and grief. But we have to accept the truth that Carrina-san was gone in this world. "

" Master Kindaichi-san got the point. Just accept the truth that Carrina-san was not here with us. " Jerry said to him

" But.. I can't.. " Judai said, nodded his head

" Huh? Why not? " Kindaichi asked

" Hold on... are you saying that you wanted her to get back alive? It was too late for that. There is no other choice but to accept it. Just move on, okay? " Manjoume told him, insisted

Asuka, was still standing, looked at the saddened face of Judai, was now started to get sympathize to him because of Carrina's sudden death.

Then, she slowly went approached to him, kneeled down on the ground.

" Tenjoin-kun? " Manjoume wondered

" Ah... who was this young lady anyway? " Johanna asked Jerry

" This is Asuka Tenjoin, our classmate and closest friend from Duel Academia and this is Jun Manjoume, a Pro League duelist. " Jerry responded, introduced Manjoume to Desirus and Johanna

" It was a pleasure to meet you " Manjoume greeted

" Us too, my name is Johanna, one of Countess Larmina's aid and advisor and this is her younger brother, Desirus Blois. We are all vegetarian vampires. " Johanna said, introduced herself and Desirus to Manjoume

" So, what you two came here in the kingdom of my sister anyway? " Desirus asked

" We just came here to meet your ruler, supposedly but although the ruler was already dead. " Manjoume said in response

" I see about it... " Desirus uttered

Asuka, tapped both of her hands at his shoulder, then she said " I know it was hard to accept it but... don't lose hope. We are still here always for you... just like from before. "

Surprised of what she had said, he raised up his head, then he looked at her, with surprise expression " Wait... Asuka?! Why are you came here anyway? "

Then, Asuka smiled at him, making the others were curious of what they had saw.

The first evil plot of Marco was failed, due to Jaden had awakened a hidden power that it will cursed all the evil pure blooded vampires and other creatures, despite he didn't know that he was the present reincarnation of Mino Del Valle, the first human lover of the Countess. The next morning, Alexis and Chazz arrived at the vampire kingdom, in which they heard a passionate singing voice in which it was no other than Jaden, was singing the song that it was composed by Mino. But then, he stopped singing when he heard that Carrina was dead, making him to getting emotional with grief. Alexis, went to his side, to coped his sadness and grief.
