"What a pity… He'd have been a great meal too." Lheannan thought slightly frowning. "Just stick to the mission. Keep that one alive and Tora would be the first to go along with the plan..." Lheannan said from her spot in the doorway to Peacecraft Academy.
The pair that was watching Duo took no noticed that Lheannan was watching Duo too but Mamoru has other plans to corrupt Duo and tell him that his girlfriend is really a vampire.
Mamoru a descendant of a Special Vampire Hunter that hunts Vampires from the Masquerade Clans. He hunts Toreadors, (1) Brujah (3), Gangrel (4), Malkavian (5), Nosferatu (6), Tremere (7), Ventrue (8), Assamite (9), Followers of Set (10), Giovanni (11), Ravnos (12), Lasombra (13), and Tzimisce (14). He had killed all the high ranking Vampires while the slept in their Havens (2). One by one he had wiped out the clans, the other hunters didn't care how the killing was done as long they were dead. Smirking to himself as he walked towards Duo's dorm, his plan was to corrupt him by telling him that Tora is really a vampire. The task seems easy but in reality it isn't.
Duo, after getting out of the shower he plopped down on one of the beds staring at the ceiling thinking. "Tora sukino... if only you knew the things you do to my heart..." he repeated to himself with a sigh of sadness he wanted to tell her how he felt about her, but some reason everytime he would see her then other thing would happen. When he went by the track coach; there was something odd about her, the way she had grinned at him and what is really eerie is her eyes he swore her eyes where watching him, it's the type of eyes that pierces the soul.
His thoughts where interrupted by a steady knocking on his door, raising an eyebrow some he reluctantly got up; pulling on his robe and padded over to the door and opened to see a young man with short black hair and piercing blue eyes that also seems to stare at his soul. Duo then said, "May I help you?"
The man said in a serious tone, "it's you that needs help; your girlfriend is a vampire a Toreador Vampire to be précised."
Duo just stood there with his jaws hanging. 'This can't be true Tora is no Vampire, it's a lie' Thoughts ran through Duo's mind as try to figure out what is right and what are lies.
Mamoru watch as Duo try to figure out what he had said, "It's true if you don't believe me then go ask her yourself"
"Lies Tora is NOT a vampire!! There is NO such thing as Vampires!!!! I think you need to go see the psycho-ward buddy cause I think you are one sick mother-fucker!!!!" Duo yelled at the top of his lungs and then he slammed the door at the man's face and locked it. Mamoru then smirked as the door slammed into his face, as part one of his plans completed.
Heero had heard Duo yelling and ran back to the dorm he and Duo shared. Running at top speed back to the dorm only to find it locked. Trying to knock, with no luck the door remained locked. Heero wondered why the door was locked so he went to the window and went into the room from the window and then went into Duo's room only to find it dark, Duo was in a dark corner rocking back and forth mumbling something that sounded like "Tora is not a vampire, vampires don't exist, he's wrong Tora is not a vampire..." and the mumbling went on.
"Duo." Heero shook his friend who was in a state of panic. "What are you mumbling about?!?!"
"Hmmm." Duo looked at Heero his eyes clouded over with confusion, fear, and shock. "Nothing.." Duo lied quickly. "I have to get ready for school." Duo said pushing Heero out the bedroom and locked it shut. Heero glared at the door knowing his friend was lying.
"Vampires don't exist.. It's not true.. they're only make believe.." Duo kept telling himself as memories of his childhood flashed through his mind. He remembered when he had still been out with his friends. He had convinced himself to believe vampires didn't exist. He remembered way back when Solo was still around. Him and his friends had seen a girl with long dark hair, she had a victim.. sucking the life out of him. The body fell with a thud, they all inspected th ebody and holes in the man's neck was what caught the attention of the kids. "They don't exist.. I'm sure they don't exist.. their only make believe creatures started in the mind of some sicko." He said and walked out to start his day of classes.
"Phase one complete." Mamoru said hopping into the car with hisdaughter, Rini, in the driver side. He looked back at his pride and Joy.. his newly adopted niece Mariemaia.
"Great!!!" Mariemaia said with forced enthuiasm.. just like her foster mother."And what's phase two??"
"Letting him make the damage. He's the type that'll bring it up as something to laugh at.. when she admits it he'll distance himself afraid for his life.. like all humans do. When he does that both hearts will be broken leaving her vulnerable."
"And Phase three is taking her out.." Rini said and shook her head. She'd have to find the perfect time to warn Tora Tsukino about the whole thing if she intends on keeping her end of the deal she made with him.
"Exactly!!!" Mamoru said.
*~*~*~~*
"Hey Tora!!!" Duo made his way over to his dark haired soon to be girlfriend.. or so he hoped.
"Hello." She smiled closing her book. "How are you??"
"Just fine now that I'm with you.." He said earning a slight blush from the usually pale girl.
"That's usually something you would say to a girlfriend or something."
"It's true." He sat next to her making her giggle a bit. "I was talking to Releana a little while ago.. she told me I look so pale most of the time that I look sick." She said. "She suggested that I add a little bit of make-up to my pale features."
"Are you serious??" He asked and she nodded. "Well maybe a LITTLE bit of red lip stuff. It looks great with your pale features, k ind of like that day I thought you were wearing make-up."
"No…" She shook her head. "I don't know.. maybe."
"And then you could add some red eye stuff and little bit on your cheeks.. why not just dip your face in red paint!!" He said making her laugh.
"Why red?? Red is usually associated with love, passion… blood." She said making him smirk.
"I have got to tell you about this crackpot guy that came to my door this morning!!" He said with the hugest grin his face would probably have stretch marks.
"Crackpot guy??"
"Yeah.. he was kinda creepy looking with dark hair and blue eyes that seemed to bore right into your thoughts and make you want to hide." He said and she tensed up slightly. "Anyway he came in calling you my girfriend and went on about some rubbish with you being a tornado vampire??" he said.
"Toreador??" She corrected.. kind of.
"Yeah that's it!! What's that about anyway.. I thought there was only one kind of vampires. The kind that came out at night and sucks the life out of unsuspecting victims. They can't stand garlic, they burn in the sun and can't touch a cross."
"Well not completely." Tora set her book aside and her face held all seriousness. "See There are several clans of vampires. Most do have the weakness of being in the sunlight and possibly the whole cross thing exists but they differ from other weaknesses and strengths." She grabbed both of his hands and despite his rapid heartbeat something still felt off to Duo Maxwell.
"What are you talking about??" Duo was not following but for some reason he felt as id he didn't want to follow.
"You see Toreadors are artistic vampires, they are the meaning of seduction as well as beautiful. Most of history's best writer's, painters, composers were all Toreadors."
"Tora… you're scaring me." Duo said. "How do you know so much…" Then it dawned on him, but he laughed. "You're joking right?? You a night blood sucker??"
"I wish I could say I was, but I'm not joking.." She said gently squeezing his hands. " I was born the way I am." She said.
"As a vampire?!?! Stop playing Tora.. this isn't funny anymore." He said and he was slowly going back to his stage of panic. "Vampires don't exist. They're only things created form the mind of some weird sicko who liked to drink the blood of people.."
"Duo…" She said gently as he pried his hands from hers.
"A-all this time I was pushing away Hilde only to choose a Vampire." He said to himself mostly. Tora frowned a bit not quite following. "Damn… A Vampire?!?!" he nearly yelled feeling his own heart break knowing what he was about to do, break of whatever kind of relationship they had and she'd be closed off and back to building her stuff once again.. or so he hoped. He sure enough wasn't ready to die, Shinigami or not.
"Half.. vampire." She said but that didn't register in his mnd
"I'm gonna…"
"Go??" She finished and he left her there crying. She stayed there until the Moon was high in the sky surrounded by stars that looked like glitter on dark paper. She hiugged her knees to her chest and more tears surfaced.
"Tora…" A voice caught her attention and gently put his arms around her. She leaned into the strong chest allowing herself to cry even more. "I'm so sorry." The voice said. "Sorry it had to happen the way it had."
"I didn't know Mamoru was here already." She said.
"Listen you have to stay strong. You're a Toreador.. and you shouldn't have gotten hurt like that and you can't help it because you're half human but still you should've had more control of the situation."
"I know.. but I don't want to be what I am.." She said drying her eyes on her shirt not really caring if she was flashing the guy her bra. He wasn't interested in her.
"you can't help it. Instead of rejecting it you should embrace it." The guy's grip on her tightened a bit. "Once you do that you can and will find supreme happiness. Whether that stupid human wants the beautiful girl you can be or not."
"Now I see why Lheannan chose you, Treize." Tora said unbraiding her dark pigtails. "you're gentle yet firm.. the perfect balance. Too bad I'm not older and had found you first"
"You wouldn't have had the power. I was barely holding onto life when she found me. If you stress your true self you might've."
"I'll think about it.." Tora stood up. And grabbed her book wich had been lying beside her the entire time. His hand closed over her own.
"The pain won't ever truly go away but it is you who has to decide whether you're going to get over it or bring him back in your life." He said releasing her hand. Slowly she nodded and sprinted towards the apartment to decide whether to go with her true form or stay as ordinary Tora.
"One down.. two to go." Lheannan said grabbing onto Treize's arm.
"you're confident."
"I have every reason to be. She'll do it.. to not only make him suffer but to bring him back."
"Suffer?? The girl is as gentle as a kitten."
"but Mamoru just had Duo step all over her tail and you know how cats react when you step on their tails."
