No Life King


No Life King Enishi


by Warumono


The cold damp atmosphere of the room was less than comforting as she awoke. Her eyes snapped open as she registered the unfamiliarity of her surroundings. "Where am I?" Kaoru whispered as she sat up. She winced, maybe she should lie down for another minute.


Moments passed until she felt well enough to sit up and look around. Blinking herself out of the weariness taking hold of her body she noticed that cold brick stones made up the walls of the room. In the center was a long brown table with one chair. A small bowl and spoon sat on it with a small silver bucket of ice that one would use to chill wine. Her curiosity kicked in as she rose from the bed to investigate the room. She still felt weak but it was slowly passing.


Kaoru sat down at the large table and stared at the empty bowl. Her gaze was unwavering as she tired to remember what happened. A hand flew to her mouth, "oh god ..." She had remembered.


"Exactly," a voice said from the shadows.


Red eyes snapped open, she knew that voice. Upon instinct she called to him, "Master!" The word flew out of her mouth without a thought. She looked surprised and embarrassed for doing such a thing but when she looked at him he merely smiled.


"I see the police woman has woken from her beauty rest," he said as he idly ran a hand through her raven tresses. "Feeling better?"


Kaoru looked down at her chest. There should have been a bloody mess from the sword he ran through her but she found nothing. Unconsciously she placed a hand there as if to make sure there was nothing. She could feel the hard texture of what used to be her green suit. The blood there had dried and the cloth had been torn open exposing some of her chest. With a bluch she hugged herself in order to hide the sight from the strange man.


Enishi smirked at her action, "No need to hide it. You can't see much anyway" He said with a glint in his eye.


The girl scowled at his comment but said nothing. She looked down again and touched the exposed flesh there. It was smooth to the touch. It was hard to believe only a little while ago she had a 5 foot sword hanging out of her.


His red eyes danced in amusement, it was not uncommon for new comers to react in that fashion. "Do you know," he began as he sat down at the head of the bed. "What you are?"


She stood from her seat. "What am I?" She asked in a demanding tone.


His grin never left his face as he cleaned his glasses. He could still see that courage in her eyes and lack of fear that she displayed when he first lay eyes upon her. This girl may have called him her master but he didn't think she would submit as easily as others had in the past. It should be fun to have her at his side before he let her out into the world. "I made you practically immortal," he answered as if it were the simplist thing in the world.


Kaoru sat back down like a dead weight. She remained silent, not knowing what to say. A vampire? She was a thing. Something not living. She raised her hands to her face turning them over in inspection not know what to expect. "But vampires aren't real," she said to herself.


Placing his glasses back on he arched his brow. "You really believe that after what happened last night?"


Her mind processed the events of what happened the night before. It was all too real. The feeling of being rammed through the chest. The last moments before she submitted to him almost willingly.

"But it can't be! It just can't!" She cried stubbornly. It something that was impossible in her mind's eye. They weren't real, or they weren't suppose to be. The creatures that had killed her comrades, they weren't vampires. But the priest, she shuddered, he was and he was going to use her as well.


Enishi frowned. She quite was stubborn. Raising from his perch he walked to her and leaned over the table. His hand reached for the small silver bucket and he pulled out a pouch with red liquid.
Kaoru stared at him as he did so. She blinked he had pulled something out of the bucket. She could feel herself staring at the red object, her mouth began to water. What was wrong with her?


"Do you see this?" He said as he placed the pouch in the bowl in front of her. "This is what will sustain you from now on. Do you understand?" His eyes never left the pouch as he scolded her. He was getting impatient, he had to make her understand. "This is where our lives stem from. Learn to deal with it. I will return later," he said before disappearing.


Kaoru barely noticed when he left. The sight of the red liquid before her was hypnotizing. She shook her head. "No this isn't right!" She growled. She threw the bowl across the room and screamed, "I won't become a monster like you! I won't!"


She dived onto the bed and laid face down, her eyes still on the bowl and the red liquid running down the wall. "I won't," she whispered in determination.

Tomoe sighed in frustration. It seemed that her pet had indeed a mind of his own. Shaking herself out of her thoughts she called to him. "Enishi, I know you're watching me. Come out," she commanded. The man had a habit of lurking around dark corners in order to watch people. Usually she had couldn't tell weather he was there or not but under current circumstances it was obvious that he would.


"You called?" Enishi asked as he waltzed out from one of the dark corners of her enormous office. His ever present grin was as wide as ever as he witnessed her annoyance with him.


"So you've taken one, have you?"


He chuckled. "I have indeed. The priest was going to turn her anyway. I merely did it myself."


Tomoe raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow. "May I know why?"

Enishi shrugged. "No."

The woman leaned back in her chair. "I see. You know people won't be happy about this. They think I can barely control you much less another vampire."


He smiled. "Now, neesan," he teased. "Don't overact, I don't think there will be any problems with her."


She winced at his name for her. They weren't really brother and sister but his name for her made her scowl, he loved to tease her. It may have been her authority over him that gave her her pet name. "Don't," she warned only causing him to laugh. "I want you to watch over her. Train her, I don't want her to go ballistic and kill my men just because you didn't explain to her the facts of life. Got it?"


The tall man mocked a bow before turning to leave. "Anything you say, neesan." He laughed again before he disappeared.


Tomoe watched as her servant disappeared. "Enishi will be the death of me one day," she said seriously. It was the truth, the woman had many responsibilities for one so young and her servant was one of the major ones. The protection spells she had placed on him were to bind him to her but even those were wavering from time to time. He tested their limits almost to a breaking point.
Sighing once again she flipped the pages of the folder on her desk. There were no fiends out on the prowl and it was her job to get rid of them.

Kaoru stared at the ceiling of her room. The stench of blood flowed through from the now dry blood on the wall. Her mind was running endlessly with questions. What would she do now? It was only yesterday that she began her new life as a police woman. It was her first stake out and it had ended in disaster. Now that she was one of those creatures. "I'm just like him," she said allowed. "I'm just like the man from the church."


"Hardly," said the now familiar voice.


The police woman refused to even look up. "I am ..."


She heard him snort. "You're nothing like him. He was a pathetic excuse for a vampire. Hardly even one. You took my blood, just that alone puts you higher above most vampires."


The girl made a face, he was sounding conceded. "Your blood?"


Enishi chuckled as he sat down beside her. "I am a No Life King, I'm a very rare type of vampire. Perhaps the only one," he said whistfully.


Her eyes never left the ceiling. "Only one?"


He leaned over her to look into her eyes. Blood red eyes mirrored hers. She could see his smirk as she returned his gaze. "I'd show you," he whispered huskily as his eyes bore into hers. "But I don't think you're ready for that yet." He laughed heartedly when he saw her tense. As he backed away he smirked.


Kaoru raised herself up on her elbows to watch him in annoyance. "What do you mean by that?" She called after him.


"Nothing," he said with his smirk.
She caught sight of his gloved hands as he pushed his glasses up, they had strange markings over them. She wanted to know what they were but something inside her knew it was not the time to ask. "What's going to happen to me now?"


He ignored her question. "You better get some rest," he said. "It's almost dawn. You're not equipped to handle the light," he gestured towards the corner of the room.


To Kaoru's horror she saw what he was pointing to. A large brown coffin lay in the corner. How could she have missed that? "Yes Master," she said without thinking. She scolded herself, she really needed him to stop calling him that but it would just come out. Damn it, that man made her feel funny and she didn't like it.


Enishi smiled, it seemed that she had grown accustomed to calling him that. He melded into the shadows making her think he was gone but he wasn't. He watched as she crept towards the coffin as if it would bite her. He suppressed a laugh when she tried to figure out the workings of it. It could be opened and closed from the inside. Finally he decided to leave when she had climbed in. Life would seem to be more interesting than usual with her around.
