Chapter Seven
Heero sat up when he heard a pounding on the door. He set down the book he had been attempting to read. Glancing down at the prone figure in which he sat on he asked, Do you promise not to try and kill them?
Wufei screamed, struggling to throw Heero off.
Heero yelled, I hate to do this to you, Wufei, but you have left me no choice.
Duo came bounding into the room, braid flying behind him. Can I help you?
Heero gestured to the boy below him, Could you babysit him for a little while? We have guests and I don't want him trying to chop off their heads.
Duo cheered, pulling a long piece of rope from his pocket, Come on little Wufei, He began to tie the other boys hands together, It's playtime!
Wufei struggled to escape, No! No! Heero no! Anything but that, please don't make me go with him! Please!
Heero shrugged before standing up, You brought this on yourself. Although why he's carrying around rope, I will never know.
Duo giggle, It's my lucky rope. See, my lucks turned already. I get to play dress up with Wufei.
No! No! Wufei continued as he was dragged from the room, Someone, anyone! HELP!
Heero walked to the front door, Who is it? He called.
You know perfectly well who it is, a voice yelled back, Now open the door.
Heero rolled his eyes and pulled open the door, Hi, Serena. Nice to see you dressed.
Serena blushed, Shut up. I wanted you to meet my friends.
Oh, lucky me, Heero sighed, Opening the door wider for them to enter.
Aren't you though? Serena grinned, By the way, sorry about the other day. I forgive you for your occupation.
Heero mumbled, I appreciate it.
Serena laughed, Now, go get everyone.
Heero shook his head, Can't, their all busy.
Oh, well, I'll just introduce my friends to you then. Serena pulled Mina forward, This is Mina, she's in charge of my guards.
You have guards? Heero stared at the assembled group.
Of course she does, Mina interrupted, She is a queen, she requires us.
Serena smiled, gesturing to the other girls, That is Lita, she is a great cook and is totally tough. This is Amy, she is really smart and from what I hear a major computer expert. Now, this is Raye, she doesn't like guys, is a Shinto priestess, and is totally cool. Then there is Haruka, she is a great fighter and very dedicated, she is dating Michiru. Michiru is also a great fighter, but more elegant. She and Haruka raised Hotaru with Setsuna. Setsuna is the oldest she is also very smart, she was a scientist. Hotaru was just a baby when we met her, she was Rini's best friend and the youngest of my guards. That's all of them. Serena giggled.
Heero grunted, So not only are you a Vampire, but your royalty too?
Well, not exactly, Serena sighed, I wasn't royalty in this body, but I was in a past life. Because of that my powers as a queen came to me when I recovered my memories, some of them at least.
What do you mean? Heero asked.
I haven't received all of my past memories, so I don't yet have all of my powers, Serena explained, I had begun to recall a few before my transformation, but when I was changed they came less frequently.
Hotaru stepped forward, Please excuse my interruption, but isn't this the boy Rini attacked.
Serena looked down at the other girl, Yes it is, why?
Hotaru dropped her head, I was just wondering if he knew anything about Rini, and why she attacked him and his friends.
Heero cleared his throat, I am sorry I cannot be of any aid, I had never met Rini before that night. I'm not even sure how she got in.
Hotaru nodded, Sorry for interrupting, I'm just concerned about the Princess.
Don't call her that, Serena demanded, turning to face Hotaru, Don't ever refer to her as a princess again.
I'm sorry your Highness, Hotaru blushed, I didn't mean-
I know, Serena sighed, We all want to believe there is some good within her. But until we find her, and reason with her, she has lost her title.
We understand, Setsuna pulled Hotaru back, It's been hard on us all. Years of searching, only to find that she has renounced us. It has been like a nightmare, only there is no hope of waking.
Heero coughed softly, trying to get their attention, I'm sorry to disturb you, but as you know you are all Vampires. My friends and I are all Vampire Hunters, and as nice as I'm sure you all are, it is not a good idea for you to remain here for very long. Especially with Wufei trying to cut off everyone's head.
Serena laughed, Oh, yeah! I wouldn't want to be the cause of you getting a bad reputation. We should probably get going.
Heero sighed with relief, Thanks, it was nice meeting all of your friends. Don't let Duo see them, he'll be all over them.
Serena giggled, I'll keep that in mind.
Did someone say my name? Duo popped out of his room, dragging Wufei behind, Ohh! Girls! He drooped Wufei and ran up to the guards, attaching himself to Raye.
Get off, Raye flung him away, Stupid male.
Wufei had at this point struggled to his feet, What are you doing Duo? He glared at the other boy, Why are you consorting with those idiotic women.
Raye stormed over to Wufei, Who are you calling idiotic? She shoved him, Wimp, can't even defend yourself against a girl. Typical man.
Wufei withdrew his sword, I'll cut off your head you demonic woman. No one insults my honor and gets away with it.
Raye laughed and walked calmly from the room, Hey, Heero! Your little friend there is fun. Can I come over and play again?
Wufei stood their glaring before furiously sheathing the blade and stomping off to his room. Idiotic, stupid, useless, woman, he mumbled as he walked.
Duo grinned, I like her, she seems cool.
Serena shook her head, Let's go girls, I think Heero's beginning to get fed up with us.
The remaining Guardians began filing out of the apartment, each waving quickly at Heero and Duo, who in turn waved back, Duo with a goofy grin on his face the whole time.
Serena turned back to the two boys, Tell Trowa and Quatre I said hi, and to come over some time and visit,
Heero walked to the door with her, Sure, maybe they can drag along Wufei.
Serena laughed, As long as he doesn't try and kill anyone.
Heero nodded, I'll make sure he understands that before he visits again.
Serena waved, you come to, I can give you some tips on getting rid of the bad Vamps.
Heero paused mid wave, You kill Vampires?
Serena smiled, Only evil ones. I can't stand anyone who would kill an innocent.
Heero finished waving, See you later then. He slowly shut the door.
Serena called.
Heero turned from the door, glancing at the clock on the wall. It's only three in the afternoon? He thought, shocked by how little time had actually past. I still have another five hours or so before we go hunting, maybe I should take a quick nap. He stepped into his room, slowly closing the door behind himself. He slipped off his shoes, and tossed his shirt onto a chair before flopping on the bed.
He stretched out, pulling a light blanket over his body. He reached over to his bedside table and switched off the lamp before closing his eye's. In moments he had drifted off into a dream filled sleep.

~~~~~~~~~
Heero fell to the ground panting, I can't do it!
A hand swiftly flew at him, sharply slapping him in the face. You can, and you will. a loud voice commanded.
But Dr. J, Heero moaned, I've been trying for hours, I just can't do it.
Dr. J lifted the young boy off of the ground and tossed him back into the pen. If you can't even fight off a few dogs how do you expect to be a Vampire Hunter? He demanded.
Heero crouched low to the ground, preparing for the first attack. How do you even know there is such a thing as Vampires? He asked quietly, How do you know they aren't just some made up myth?
Dr. J glared down at Heero, I know because my family was killed by one.
Heero jumped away from the hungry dog that leapt at him, he kicked furiously at the next attacker. When was the last time you fed these guys? he asked sarcastically, rolling away from the third beast.
Two, maybe three days ago, Dr. J mumbled, As I was saying, a Vampire killed my entire family. My mother, my father, my two little sisters, and my baby brother. The only reason it didn't get me was because I was away at school that year and wasn't due home for another week.
Heero knocked away the final dog, panting as he stood surrounded by the unconscious animals. So how do you know it was a Vampire?
They where completely drained of blood, Dr. J explained, and he hadn't even bothered to cover his fang marks.
Heero climbed out of the pen, sore limbs screaming in pain, How do you know it was a he?
Dr. J looked puzzled for a moment, I guess I don't, I always just assumed that it was. They had found a long pink hair at the scene, along with five red roses. One rose for each victim.
Heero took a water bottle from Dr. J, Why roses?
Dr. J shrugged, I have no idea, I think that's why I assumed it was male. It doesn't really seem like a female trait. He then held out a towel to the soaking boy. See, I knew you could do it.
Heero looked sadly at the still unconscious dogs, Are you going to feed them now?
Dr. J looked down at the young boy,
Heero looked up, shocked, Because they would die without food.
The older man nodded, Do you know what would happen before then?
Heero shook his head, No, what?
Dr. J snickered, They would eat each other.
Heero looked aghast, Like Vampires?
Dr. J smiled, Yes, just like Vampires. You see Heero, he took the boys small hand, and led him from the area, Vampires are just like those dogs. They turn on each other and those around them given the chance. You can never trust a Vampire, they have no compassion for others. They only care about surviving night to night, and for them that means killing. They will kill hundreds just to live a year, thousands for a decade.
They child walked along weakly, They kill that many?
Sometimes more, Dr. J handed the boy over to one of the maids, Clean him up, he demanded.
Heero followed the woman quietly, turning back to wave at his teacher. Bye bye.
Dr. J turned sharply and walked away without a reply, inwardly seething at the boys obvious emotions. I will not allow them to grow, he snarled, emotions are useless, he has no use for them.
Heero shrugged before following the young maid up the stairs, When is dinner, he asked softly.
The maid looked quickly around, seeing no one else she knelt down beside the boy, I'm pretty sure it will be ready right after you take your bath.
Heero glared at the woman, I'm to old for baths now, I want to take a shower.
The maid laughed, scooping him up in her arms, For a three year old you are quite mature.
Heero smiled, I'll be four next month, then I'll be all grown up.
The woman carried him into his room before setting him back on the ground, You get undressed while I set up your bath.
Heero demanded, pulling off his soiled shirt, No bath! Shower!
The maid laughed, How about we combine the two?
Heero paused in his attempt to unbutton his pants, thinking about the offer, Do you mean I could have a shower-bath?
I guess you could put it that way, the young woman nodded, I'll fill the tub half way normally, and then you can fill it the other half with a shower. Sound good?
Heero nodded excitedly, he cheered before glancing down at his pants, But can you help me unbutton these first?

* * *
Heero awoke to a sharp knock on his door, he struggled to sit up as the pounding persisted. I'm coming he called.
As he pulled open the door he saw Duo standing there grinning, Rise and shine sleepy head.
Heero grumbled before turning back into his room and pulling on his shirt. What time is it?
Eight thirty, Duo smiled, We let you sleep in.
Heero replied sarcastically as he pulled on his shoes, All right, ready.
'Bout time, Duo led the way to the living room, We're ready! He announced to the others.
Wufei stood up from where he leaned against the wall, Hurry up, we should have left a half hour ago.
Heero pulled his jacket from the hall closet.
Don't be sorry, be ready, Wufei grunted, pulling open the front door.
The group made their way down to their Suburban, each arguing over who got to drive. When they had finally decided that it was Heero's turn, they had just reached the SUV.
Duo hopped into the front seat, I get shotgun!
The other three climbed into the back, Trowa and Quatre sat in the center, while Wufei sprawled out in the very back.
Heero pulled out of the parking lot, turning left onto the main road. He drove slowly, keeping his eyes peeled for anything unusual. Eventually they reached the downtown area, and pulled into a vacant spot along the roadside.
Quatre climbed out of the car and stuck some change in the meter, We have two hours, everyone meet back here at eleven. Understand?
The others nodded before splitting up, each going their own separate way. Heero quickly made his way to the less hospitable neighborhoods, where he could usually find his targets.
He made his way silently down an alleyway, looking around nervously. There is definitely something near. He thought as he made is way to the end of the alley. Just as he was about to step into the light given off by a nearby window a hand pulled him back. He struggled to face his attacker, unsurprised when it turned out to be a pink haired girl.
He choked as he was shoved against a wall.
Rini smiled down at Heero, running her tongue across her lips, Mmm, dinner.
Heero kicked out at the girl as he struggled to his feet, Get lost Rini, I will kill you.
Rini asked, stepping closer, her fangs flashing, But what if I kill you first?
Then I'll do it, a voice shouted, as a fist shot out, knocking Rini to the ground.
Rini sat up, her lip bleeding,
Serena stood before them, Glaring angrily down at her daughter. What are you doing? she asked as she helped Heero to his feet, How dare you attack an innocent.
Rini snarled at her mother, He isn't an innocent, mother. He has killed hundreds of our kind.
As have I, Serena sighed, There are evil in some Vampires just as there is evil in some humans, he has only gone after those who are evil.
So you two would kill me as well? Rini asked as she hesitantly stood.
Are you evil? Serena looked down sadly.
All of our kind is evil, Rini answered, that is our way. You and your slaves are abnormal. You are all freaks.
Serena shook her head, If that is how you feel, then I won't prevent your death.
Rini spat before running out of the alley, I will have no pity for you when your time for death comes either!
Heero grabbed onto Serena's arm as he saw her prepare to chase after the girl, he whispered softly, It isn't safe.
Serena nodded, You're right, she began walking sadly from the alley.
Heero followed her silently, not quite sure what to do. They soon reached the end of the block and where beginning to cross when a car came roaring around the corner. Heero grabbed Serena's wrist and pulled her back onto the curb.
he shouted, wrapping his arms around the shivering girl.
Serena looked up at Heero for a moment before bursting into tears, She cried, wrapping her arms around him and burying her face in his shirt.
Heero awkwardly held the sobbing girl,
He looked around the dimly lit street, searching for something familiar. Finding that they where only about two blocks from where he had parked the Suburban he glanced at his watch over Serena's shoulder, it was all ready ten forty five.
Serena continued to cry, oblivious to the stares she was receiving, she whimpered, Why is she so cruel?
I don't know, Heero answered, trying to lead her to the waiting vehicle, Come on, we need to get to the car.
Serena nodded and allowed herself to be led down the street to the SUV. As they neared she saw four figures standing around, impatiently waiting. she clutched his hand tightly, I don't want them to see me!
Heero looked down at the frightened girl, It's O.Kay, I'm driving so you can sit up front and they won't bother you.
Serena looked nervously over at the waiting boys before nodding, What about my truck?
I'll take you to pick it up tomorrow, Heero smiled.
They finally reached the group and stood before the four boys. Heero unlocked the car doors and watched as Duo, Trowa, and Quatre silently climbed into the back. Wufei on the other hand turned sharply and glared at the teary eyed girl.
What is she doing here? he demanded.
Heero helped Serena into the front seat before turning to face Wufei, Rini showed up, and Serena isn't feeling well.
How can a Vampire not feel well? Wufei asked rudely as he climbed into the back of the GMC, They are immortal.
Heero slammed the door shut before climbing up into the drivers seat, Just shut up Wufei.
Wufei sent one final glare at Heero and Serena before slumping angrily down into the seat, he mumbled, I'll be quiet.
They drove the rest of the way in silence, Heero glancing anxiously over at Serena every now and then. When they finally reached the apartment complex Heero parked and quickly ran over to the other side of the Suburban to help Serena down.
Wufei grumbled as he jumped out of the SUV, Heero is becoming to soft.
Duo jumped down behind Wufei and shoved him, knocking him to the ground, Be quiet, at least he as feelings for something.
Wufei shook his head as he climbed to his feet, he said as he made his way up to the apartment. Heero is going to realize that this is a big mistake.
End Chapter 7
A/N: What do you think, Serena acts cool at first but then she has an emotional break down. I thought it would be something a mom might do, I don't know....
