Discovered Truth
"I'm really worried, Yayoi. Shido's been gone for three days. Or should I say nights? Should we look for him again tonight?"
"I don't know Rihoe. It's like he doesn't want to be found. Did you ever think of that?" Yayoi was hoping Shido was taking a short vacation and not going up in flames or worse. "You do know there's a possibility that 'you- know-what' has him. 'You-know-what' has been after him for a long time."
"Yayoi! Don't say that! It would never happen! Shido would never! If that had been the case we would know it, wouldn't we?! I will not believe that! Shido is strong and would be able to get away!"
"Rihoe, calm down and stop yelling. If that had happened Shido could get away, possibly. But, there's always the chance of him not wanting to leave."
"Just shut up! You don't know what you're talking about! I'm going to look for Shido!"
Rihoe ran out the door. Yayoi followed to make sure she would be okay. Guni went too, to keep an eye on them both.
*Shido's POV*
I could feel the cool night air coming in from the open window. I was covered from the waist down with blood-red satin sheets. "Sleep well, love." Ah, Cain. As usual, he was dressed exquisitely. Blonde hair tied back, not one hair out of place, pants and shirt neatly pressed. Everything perfect. I didn't expect anything less from him.
I realized I was staring at him. I turned my head away. I could feel his eyes on me. Those same eyes that first drawn me to him, that hypnotize. "Shido, we are to leave soon." His voice was commanding me, but I could not surrender. I would not kill again, not to feed. "I can't." Was that all I could say?
I heard him sigh before he spoke. "Okay, I'll go alone. Are you hungry?" I nodded. I hadn't feed in a while. Cain walked to me and sat on the bed. He brought my lips to his neck. As I drank, I remembered a moment similar to this one. Only, it was with Rihoe, not Cain. I pulled away. 'What am I doing here? Shouldn't I be home with Rihoe, Guni, and Yayoi?' "Cain, I need to get home. They have to be worried about me."
"Home? Shido, this is your home. More so, than that shell you hide in. And them, they will not be by your side forever." The conversation was ended there. "Shido, don't go anywhere before I get back." With that, Cain made his leave.
Shido took a shower and dressed. Cain would be back soon and he wanted to go out. Or he could always go home to see how Rihoe, Guni, and Yayoi were doing and be gone before Cain got back. That's exactly what he wanted to do.

*Yayoi's POV*
I'd been following Rihoe around for close to an hour. I understand that she's worried. It's not like Shido to disappear without a word. Where are you? "Rihoe, why don't we take a break?"
"I don't want to. I want to look for Shido." She started to walk, but I grabbed her arm. "Rihoe, it won't kill you." She gave in.
We went to a little café a block away. I ordered coffee; Rihoe kept her eyes on the activity seen though the window. Her eyes suddenly widened and I followed her gaze. Before I could stop her, she jumped up and was out the door.
"Shido! Shido!"
"What are ---?" I looked up as two figures turned the corner. Rihoe ran off.
Cain!
AUTHOR'S RAMBLING Sorry it took so long for me to update and about the chapter being so short. I plan to make the next one longer. It might be a few weeks before I update. I will finish it soon.
