Tsuki walked hastily down the darkened street, her eyes, being the only light there. "So, Mikari murdered the people of the orphanage….Yohji is going to protect her from anything and everything…..or at least he'll die trying….The question now is do I tell Aya and the others? Or do I let them slip out of this one….Argh! What the hell am I saying!? She's my sister….Wait, half sister….what do I do? God…." "Kill her and get it over with….you might regret letting her go…" Tsuki's head shot up. She looked around the park but saw no one, so she walked over to the fountain. "Who's there?" She asks. "Trust me…kill her before she kills you…" Tsuki searches everywhere, but can't find the person who's speaking, then she looks down at her reflection. "So? What will it be Tsuki?" She blinked a couple of times. Her reflection was talking to her? But, it didn't quite look like her. The girl in the water looked more, evil-like than what Tsuki looked like right now. She was wearing a dark maroon warrior outfit, her wings flapping behind her, and in her hand was a weapon….a weapon that killed so many…. "What do you mean?" Tsuki asks. The woman grinned evilly, and replied, "I said, just kill Mikari before she comes after you with her vampire bastard friends….You know that you are the last, and you know that they will stop at nothing to eliminate all of the your kind….Kill her, she is their main source of power, without her, you can get rid all of the vampires for good, and you can finally bring more of us into the world….no more vampires to fight you, just meager humans….and they are nothing….Take my advice Tsuki, Kill Mikari, and her husband if you have to….If you don't, she will be your downfall…." The dark one finishes and vanishes. Tsuki stands there, not sure what to think now. Her dark side wanted so bad to eliminate all who were against her, but then her sentimental side wanted to find another way to deal with it…..unfortunately her dark side was stronger. "Kill…..Mikari Kudou??…..No….Kill….Kai Shotsuka…..Kai…" Tsuki says darkly and heads back to Omi's house. Omi was waiting for her at the door when she arrived. "Tsuki where have you been? It's almost midnight!" Omi snaps. Tsuki glares at him, and replies, "Just call Aya and Ken….I just found something out…and it's VERY important…." Omi was shocked to see her snapping orders at him, but he did as he was told.
Aya and Ken weren't very happy to be woken up at such a later hour. "Tsuki! What the hell is this all about? It's midnight for Christ's sake….you should be asleep…" Aya growls, but is cut off by Tsuki. "Just shut up a minute will ya?! I just got us some very useful information, now if you don't want to hear it…" "Go on, tell us so we can go home…." Ken yawns. "Right….Well I was just taking a night walk, when I overheard a very interesting conversation going on in Yohji's house…..I know who killed everyone at the orphanage…." Aya and Ken were suddenly wide awake. "Really? Then who was it?" Ken asks. "It was Mikari…" Everybody's eyes widened. "Y-You're joking right Tsuki? You can't be serious….." Omi says. Tsuki shakes her head. Aya's eyes narrow. "So….She is the target then….Hmm….." "And Yohji is on her side, he will protect her from us….we have to figure out what to do with him…" Tsuki points out. "Well….Mikari's the target and Yohji has turned against us……We don't have much of a choice here….we don't have any choice actually…..I guess it's time to get to work then…..Are you guys ready and willing to go through with this?" Aya asks. Ken and Omi weren't sure, but Tsuki nodded matter of factly. "Tsuki…you're going to go through with this?" Omi questions, shocked. Tsuki glances at him, then heads up to get ready. "Right, we'll be back soon Omi, be ready by then…." Omi sighs and nods as Aya and Ken run out the door. By the time Omi had closed the door, Tsuki was back downstairs fully prepared. "I can't believe that you're going to kill your own sister Tsuki….that isn't you…." "Just get ready Omi….It'll all be over soon….Very soon…." Tsuki replies, glancing out at the full moon.
Mikari woke up, about a half hour after she went to sleep, and was feeling awful. "Man…..what is going on with me?" She asks herself, and starts to feel dizzy. She slouches over a minute then, slowly raises her head, her eyes blood red. She turns to Yohji who is sleeping quietly next to her, and cocks her head to one side, and grins., her sharp teeth showing brightly. Yohji shifts and mumbles a little, but doesn't wake. Mikari watches him a moment, then leans over him. He stirs a bit more and his eyes flutter open. "Mikari? What are you doing?" He asks and sits up. Mikari glares at him, and replies, "Nothing…..dear, I just couldn't sleep that's all…." "Oh….well I'm thirsty so I'm gonna go get a drink ok? I'll be back…" "You know, maybe I should go with you….I'm feeling kind of thirsty as well…." Yohji raises an eyebrow and says, "Ok, I gue-…." He doesn't finish, for he was too buy staring into a pair of blood red eyes, and those weren't Mikari's eyes. Yohji slowly backed towards the door, then quickly ran into the closet, locking it behind him. Mikari just stood there, waiting, she knew he couldn't stay in there forever. Yohji quickly got into his assassin uniform and grabbed his watch. After putting it on, he prepared himself for the worst. The door suddenly flew open and Yohji jumped out, wrapping his wire around Mikari. "That should hold her for a while…" He said as Mikari tried to struggle and get loose. Yohji ran down the stairs and grabbed the phone. "Hello?" Kens voice was heard on the other end. "Ken! I need you to get over here now! Mikari has gone nuts!" Yohji yells, when he hears a loud SNAP and sees Mikari running down the stairs. All Ken heard then was a yell and crashing. "Yohji!" "Yohji is busy at the moment, you'll have to call back later….bye now…" Mikari said and ripped the phone out of the wall. Ken was about to say something when he heard the phone go dead. "Shit…" Ken ran outside, smack dab into Aya. "Ken!" Aya yelled. "Aya! Man we have got a major situation here….Yohji just called and said Mikari has flipped her lid….We have to hurry…" Aya nods and they run down to the Porsche. Omi and Tsuki were already in front of Yohji's house by the time they got there. Aya and Ken jumped out of the car and ran up to join them. They could hear loud crashing sounds inside. "So….this is it then?" Ken asks. They all nod and enter the house.
(At that very same time…)
Yohji and Mikari did a couple of ring around the Rosie games before Mikari got fed up and threw the table clear across the room. "You've been working out haven't you?" Yohji said as Mikari got him by the neck and threw him too. He landed against the wall, hitting his head hard. Mikari walked up to him and lifted him up. "Now….you said you wanted to be with me forever right? Well….lets make sure that's what happens…." Mikari said and sank her teeth into his neck, just as Aya and the others walked in. "YOHJI!" Omi shouted. Mikari glared at them, then dropped the unconscious Yohji on the floor. "So…more guests for dinner…lets see…who will be first….Hmm….I've always found you a bother to me….you'll be first…." Mikari yells pointing at Tsuki. She just glares at her and replies, "I'd love to see you try it bloodsucker!" This pissed Mikari off royally. "Don't call me that!" Tsuki didn't have time to reply, for Mikari was charging right at her. Tsuki managed to dodge the first few blows, but was a little too slow for the next one. Mikari laughed as she dug her nails deeper into Tsuki's side. Tsuki glared at her, and pushed her away, grasping her side. Just before Mikari could finish her off, Aya ran in front and blocked Mikari's hand with his sword. "Ahhh!" Mikari screamed as her hand fell on the floor. She then stops and looks at Aya. "That hurt Aya….Please don't do that again, I hate having to put myself back together…" Mikari says as she picks up her hand and sticks back in her wrist. She moves her fingers around to make sure they still worked and brushed a little bit of hair out of her face. "There, much better…" Tsuki had had enough of Mikari's smart ass attitude and stood up. "That's it vampire….you're finished…" Tsuki said and held her hand out. A light appeared in her palm and soon grew, til it was in a spear-like shape, then the light died out, leaving behind a long, black-pearl staff, with a dragon's body wrapped around it, but there was no head. "What? Are you gonna poke me to death?" Mikari asks sarcastically. Tsuki just grins and pushes a button on the side. The dragons' head suddenly shoots out, and instead of a bottom jaw, there was an extremely large curved blade. It made the weapon look like a scythe, which was what it was… Mikari blinked a few times, then realized what Tsuki was holding and recoiled a little. "That scythe…..where'd you get that!?" "Lets just say it's a present from a friend…..Now die bitch!" Tsuki shouts and lunges at Mikari, just missing her by inches. Mikari backs against a wall and watches Tsuki. Before Tsuki could slash at her again, a giant ball of white light shot through the window and landed in front of Mikari. Everyone looked at it a minute, then Mikari picked it up. It instantly turned into a massive blade. Tsuki's eyes widened when she saw the blade, then had a flash back.
(Flash Back)
"Tsukiryuu run!" Tsuki could hear her father screaming as they were being chased by celestial vampires. Tsuki ran as fast as she could, until her and her whole family were cornered. There before them was the master vampire, Mercurius Cosimo De Midchi. There were hundreds of vampires around him, all covered in the blood of her friends. Tsuki looked up to her father, who was white with fear. He knelt down and looked at his daughter. "Tsukiryuu….I am so sorry….you will have to go on without us…." "No daddy…I wanna stay here with you…" "No Tsukiryuu…if you do, there will be no hope left for our kind, here take this with you, it will help you fight against the vampires…" He said and pulled out a small, emblem, necklce. On it was a silver cross, with a different colored gems on the ends and a single white one in the center. "What's it for?" "You will know soon enough my dear, and one more thing…..what ever you do, don't let the vampires get a hold of this…" He continued handing her, what looked to be a locket. She stared at it a moment then asked, "What is it?" "It is a Soul Collector, it is used to gather the souls of the dead. It also holds a gift, given only to those of celestial blood….a scythe….it may sound strange, but that power and weapon will help you…….now go, before they see you…" "But…" "GO!" he finishes and pushes her away. Tsuki runs a few yards before turning back. Her eyes widened as the master vampire walked up to her father and drove a white blade through his heart. "DADDY!" Tsuki screamed, as she watched him and the rest of her family and friends die….then runs into the forest, never to look back…
"Tsuki!" Tsuki snaps back, into the present only to find that Mikari had vanished somewhere. "What? What happened?" She asks dazed. "You just zoned out, and you let Mikari get away…." Ken explained. Aya and Omi were over tending to Yohji, who had come around soon afterward. "Whoa…what happened?" Yohji asks. "Mikari went crazy and bit you….great….does that mean we have to kill him too now?" Ken questions. Yohji grabs him by the collar and threatens, "Yeah right, if anyone is going to be killing anybody, I'm gonna kill you!" Ken shields his eyes and waits for the punch, but luckily there was none. Yohji was feeling too weak to hurt anyone right now and dropped Ken on his ass. Tsuki walks over to him and turns his head, spotting the bite marks. "So, she turned on ya huh? I'd say, about three days…" "Three days? Three days until what?" Yohji asks stupidly. "Three days until you turn into a vampire, then I kill you…." Tsuki replies. "Oh well that sounds comforting. I'm really looking forward to that, really I am…." "There is however, one way to keep you from changing…" "Oh? And I would like to know this…" "Kill the master vampire…." Yohji dropped his head. "Great…..just what I wanted to hear…." "Well it's either that or get killed by us…so…what's it going to be Yohji?" Aya asks him. "I guess I really have no choice do I…so where do we start…" Omi pulls out his laptop and turns it on. "We find out all the information we can on little miss Kai then we go after her…" "But we know just about everything there is to know about her…" Ken explains. "Not everything…there was a full moon tonight right?" They all nod their heads. "Hmm…There was a full moon the night the orphanage was destroyed…." "Yeah so? What's that got to do with anything?" Ken asks. "That's it! That's the center of the virus! The full moon! She only becomes like this on a full moon! And….." "And what?" "We forgot today was Mikari's birthday….." "Oh well that's REAL important Omi…." "Yes it is actually…" "My god…." Ken says running his hand down his face. "So…her birthday+full moon= super phsycotic bitch? Part two?" Ken asks. Omi nods awkwardly. "I guess, if you wanna put it that way…." "So….tomorrow she'll be back to her chippy ol self again? I hope?" Yohji asks. Omi nods, making Yohji happy. Tsuki however wasn't pleased at all. "No matter if she's normal or not, she is the target , and I WILL complete this mission….now if you will excuse me, I have vampires to hunt down…" Tsuki growls and stalks out the door. "Tsuki! Wait for me!" Omi hollers and runs out after her, followed by Yohji, Aya, and Ken.
"Hi ho hi ho, psycho bitch hunting we go……Ouch! Damn it!" Ken says rubbing the back of his head where Yohji had smacked him hard. "Sheesh I was only joking Yohji lighten up man…" Ken complained as they combed the streets for Mikari. Suddenly, someone burst out of the shadows. "Holy Shit!" Ken shouts and jumps. A woman stood before them, looking very sad. Tsuki had a feeling she's met this woman before. "Hello?" Omi asks. "Hello….Where hath she gone? I sense her presence, but, I can't see her…The rebellion of the dark ones hath started…" "What are you talking about? The rebellion of the dark ones? Who are you?" The woman removed her hood and Tsuki's eyes narrowed. " I am Gabriel Cosimo De Midchi….I hath been watching thou, mortals…..I plead for thou arts help now….My granddaughter….Kai…She isn't with thee? This is worst than I had predicted….Come thou must help me find her…." Gabriel asked. Tsuki then remembered that name, and where it came from and glared at Gabriel. Suddenly something took over her. "No….Thou art one of them….Vampire! I shalt not help thee of the dark blood…" Tsuki blinked a couple of times. "Did I just say that?" Gabriel's eyes widened. "Thou….Thou is a…a….no…that cannot be….there are no more…..please I beg thee, from the heart of a grandmother who is looking for her granddaughter….help me……" Tsuki looks at her carefully….Thinks about this. 'If I kill her now, then that will just get rid of another bloodsucker, but if I go with her……I'll surely be led to Mikari….' "Fine….But if you try ANYTHING I will cut your fucking head off…..Got it?" "Yes…Thank thee…" Grabiel bows. Tsuki snorts her dislike, but follows as Gabriel leads the way. She stops at a corner and everyone notices how it suddenly got much darker and foggier. "What the hell?" Aya gasps. "They are here…please stay close to me so they don't notice….Hurry…" Gabriel whispers and walks towards the Tokyo Highschool. Everyone sees a light in the third floor room. "Hey….what's a light doing there?" Tsuki asks. "What place is that?" Yohji questions. "T-That's the….Music room….where the piano, keyboard, trumpets, flutes, drums, guitar, violin, Pan flutes, the music mixer, and the Triangle are…..You can tell that Tokyo High doesn't have very many instruments…." "Doesn't have many? Damn, they have a whole shit load in there….that's a lot…." Omi shakes his head and sweat drops. "I pity you Ken really I do…" He sighs. Suddenly the soft melody of a piano could be heard from the music room. "What?" Omi says. They all headed to the school. Mysteriously, the doors were unlocked and they could easily push them open. Someone was expecting them….. They walked around a bit, and found that the lights were all out. Tsuki, Omi, and Aya then noticed that the front office door was open. The three of them made their way into the room. The first thing they saw was blood. Of course. "Agh grodey……Mikari really needs to stop taking lessons from you Tsuki…" Omi exclaims, while looking at all of the blood soaked papers. Aya notices a piece of paper with words written in blood. "Hey guys, I found some flashlights…." Yohji pokes his head in the door and replies, "Good, cause I can't see a god damn fucking thing out here…." Omi glares at him and shoves the flashlight in Yohji's mouth. "Quit your bitching Yohji…" Omi mutters. Yohji grumbles as he takes the flashlight out of his mouth and turns it on, and man was it bright. "Will you get that thing out of my face!" Gabriel tells Yohji. "Oh hehe…sorry Gabbie…" Grabiel rolled her eyes. Aya takes a flashlight and flips it on, then examines it.
It read:
Weiss,
I let you get this far…Don't expect a warm welcome from me when we meet face to face…As you might have noticed already, Yohji has been bitten and will soon be mine in less than three days….You might as well give up…There is no way I'll surrender to you….Especially that bitch Tsuki…Oh and if you're reading this Tsuki, I know who you are….if you put one foot out of line, I will tell everyone about YOUR past, and what you really are….so I advise you to stay clear of me….Well, I guess that is all I have to say…for now…..see you soon Weiss…
Kai Shotsuka
"Well she seems happy to see us….so much for a welcome wagon….Well shall we explore?" Aya mutters. Omi and Tsuki nod and walk back out to Yohji and the other two. "So…how are we going to do this? There are two floors, one basement, and a roof to check, and there are six of us…." Ken says thinking really hard. "Alright here's how it's gonna go….Yohji, Ken, you two head upstairs, and DON'T go into the music room, until I've come up here….Or I'll kick both your asses to the moon and back…got it?" They both wink at each other and stand in slaute fashion. " Yes sir Mr. Aya sir! Want us to do 20 jumping jacks as well?" "Bite Me…" "You really want me to answer that?" "No Yohji, just get the fuck out of my face…" "Yes Drill Sergeant!" "Yes Ma'am…" Ken salutes. Aya glares at him, he just smiles makes a kissy face and runs down the hall like an idiot. Yohji laughes and follows him. "Omi Tsuki, you two check both the main floor and the basement…Me and Gabriel will search the roof….and behave….Omi…" Omi puts his hands up in a defensive gesture… "Yeah, yeah I know I know….Leave me alone…." "I mean it OMI…" "Yes DAD!" Aya glances at him. "Why me?" He mutters and motions for Gabriel to come with him. Gabriel gives Tsuki one last look before following Aya up the stairs. That left only Tsuki and Omi. "Yes! He's gone!" Tsuki shakes her head and rolls her eyes. "I pity you Omi…..Really I do…" She says in a mocking tone. Omi stops hopping up and down and looks at Tsuki. "What?" "Just….c'mon…first we have to check the basement." "Ok….If you want to be that way…" Omi sighs as Tsuki takes his hand and drags him down the steps.
Yohji and Ken walk through the darkened halls of the second floor. The piano music got louder and louder with each step they took. "Man that music sure is creepy sounding…it makes you think like you were in a scary movie like Dracula or something…maybe even that creepy game Silent Hill…" "Ken shut your pie whole before I shut it for you…I really am in no mood to listen to you talk about your gay ass movies and video games…" Ken sighs and shrugs as they continued to walk. Ken then suddenly ran into something hard and held his head. "God damnit Ken! Watch where you're going!" "Sorry Yohji…why the hell did you…wait a minute…you're not thinking what I think you're thinking, because if you are thinking what I think you're thinking, then you're thinking what I think you're thinking…." Yohji looked at Ken, a weird expression on his face. "Ken…you are a dumbass…really someone needs to shoot you and put you out of everyone else's misery." "Anyways Yohji are you thinking what I think you're…Oww! Damn you!" "Ken just shut up will you…Jesus Christ…you know what." "What?" "I'm going to get you a little key chain that says "Hi I'm a dumbass!" on it…I swear to god you're blonder than I am." Ken just shakes his head and stares at the door that Yohji had stopped at. "Y'know Aya told us not to go in here until he came…" "And do I ever listen to Aya?" "Ummm…no…" "Alright then." "Well…go ahead and open it then." Yohji glances at Ken and replies, "No you open the door." "No YOU open it." "Ken open the god damn door!" "No! She's your wife not mine!" "Okay Ken…but…you're the first one I'm coming after when I turn into one of them." Ken thought this over a minute. "You lie." "No I don't." "You do." "I don't." "You do!" "I don't!" "You lie times infinity!" "Whatever…open it." "No you." "No you." "No you." "No you." "No me." "Okay fine…you win…be my guest." Ken smiles victoriously then realizes what happened. "Uh…err…Damn you Yohji! You stupid ass!" Yohji just grins at him as Ken turned the knob and pushed the door open. Ken and Yohji gulp as they slowly pushed the door open. Ken suddenly busts in there all LAPD like yelling, "ALRIGHT! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS OR CLAWS OR WHATEVER THE HELL YOU 'VE GOT, UP OR I'LL POP A CAP IN YO ASS....….Hey Yohji how did that sound?" "Nice…..very nice….You training to be a black LAPD officer? Cause you do a fine ass job of it…" Yohji replies sarcastically. "Really? You think so?" "Definitely…" "Cool…" Ken smirks. As the two men gazed around the room, Ken spots a small blood trail. "Hm?" He raises an eyebrow and follows the trail, until it ends at the piano. There on a certain amount of keys was blood. "Ok…That's really fucked up…Now I KNOW this is like Silent Hill….You people suck! You're not supposed to copy the video game!! Plagiarism!!"Ken hollers. Yohji shakes his head pityingly and walks over to Ken. He studies the keys, then reads the poem above it.
"The Scars Of A Shattered Heart can only be mended by the death of an enemy… No longer shalt the pain continue…Nor shalt the suffering commence….When two hearts beat as one, only then will the fight end….Shall you choose to end the suffering, or to become the cause of it, is your decision and your decision alone….No one will guide you…no one will save you….You are an evil in itself….Mend The Scars Of A Shattered Heart, and save the one you hold dear….
For death is only the beginning…."
"This Poem….It sounds…..familiar…." Yohji says. Ken on the other hand had no idea what to make of it. "Sounds like load of bull to me…" Yohji paid no attention to Ken, for he was thinking really hard as to where he had heard the poem before. He played with the blood-marked keys for a minute, then tried to translate the words into notes. His eyes widened as the words turned from a poem, into a song…A song that was played just for him…He sat there and played the song that he remembered so well. Ken was amazed by Yohji's sudden musical talent. "What are you playing Yohji?" Ken asked curiously. "The Scars Of A Shattered Heart….The song Mikari played for me…" "Oh…." Yohji slowly brought the song to an end and sighed. Clapping was heard throughout the room, and Yohji and Ken turned to see who it was. "Very nice Yohji…I'm surprised you remember that song. Anyways…it's time to say goodbye…" Mikari grins and walks towards them. Yohji stands and The two of them back towards the window. "Umm…Ummm….Aww hell…." Ken stammers. Mikari glares at him. "I don't want to talk to you, go away!" She says and throws him through the window. "AHHHHH!!!!" Ken screams, then Yohji hears a loud CRACK, and all goes silent. "KEN!!" Yohji yells and tries to look out the window, but is stopped by Mikari, who grabbed his collar and threw him in the opposite direction. "Now, the fun begins…."
(Meanwhile…)
"So…You're Mikari's grandmother huh? You seem pretty young…" "Yes….that is what happens when you are bitten by a vampire…You stop aging….Kai, stopped aging at 21.…She will remain that way forever…." Aya glanced at her, but said nothing. "Well there isn't anything up here….lets head down to the second floor and see if Yohji has gotten his ass beaten yet…" "Alright.." Together, the two of them head downstairs. Omi and Tsuki weren't having much luck either. It seems they had gotten into a bit of a fix. They had walked into the wrong place at the wrong time. All of the people who were bitten or killed by Mikari, were now awake as vampires. "Oh shit! Now what!? We're surrounded." Omi panics. Tsuki wraps her arms around him and replies, "Don't worry Omi…I will protect you from all around you…." "But how?" He says as he grabs on to Tsuki. Tsuki's eyes narrow, then flash, a barrier suddenly forms around them. "Huh?" Was all Omi could say. The vampires watched them hungrily, but when one tried to touch them, it proved more difficult than predicted. As soon as his hand touched the barrier, his whole body burst into flames. Omi's eyes widen as the man screams and dies. "What the hell just happened to him?!" Omi asks. "This barrier is a sun barrier. These are nightwalkers, and can't touch sunlight, unless they want to become a heap of ashes. Now move with me to the stairs so we can get out of here….I can't keep this up much longer…." "Ok.." He said and together they moved to the staircase. It was difficult, but they managed to get up the stairs without the monsters following them. Once they were up the steps, Tsuki let Omi go, and the barrier vanished. "Alright….now we must head outside, before our hungry friends invite us over for dinner." Tsuki exclaimed as Omi followed her outside. Their eyes widened and their jaws dropped when they saw the form lying in a puddle of blood on the ground. "Ken! Oh my god!" Omi shouts and runs over to him. Tsuki just casually walks over to him, looking calm now. "Judging by the looks of it, he was thrown out the window…" Tsuki glances up to which window it was and sighed, "It's the music room Omi….Stupid ass Yohji talked him into it…Mikari probably did this…C'mon, move so I can bring him back…Just so I can kill him again for being a dumbass…." Omi gave her a funny look and shook his head as she placed a hand on Ken's chest. It started glowing, engulfing his whole body, then died down. Ken's eyes fluttered open and he sat up, looking as if he were on crack. "Whoa….watch that first step, it's a real lulu…." Ken then sees that Omi and Tsuki are staring at him. "Uhh….Hi?" Ken stares at them, then gets to his feet. "Alrighty then….where was I? Oh yes, I was thrown out the window by Mikari. And…..Then I died…and then…oh yeah, Yohji's about to get his ass kicked….I gotta see that!" Ken Shouts and runs back into the building, leaving Omi and Tsuki utterly confused. "…….What? No thanks?" Tsuki asks as she's dragged into the building by Omi.
Yohji leaned against the wall holding his bloody arm. 'Shit, shit, shit, SHIT! This hurts like a bitch!" He thought as Mikari advanced on him. "Uh….oh crap….I'm in trouble…." Yohji muttered as Mikari took out her blade and pierced Yohji's flesh. Yohji cried out in pain as the blade sunk deeper and deeper into his leg. Mikari grinned as she pulled the sword out of his leg and licked it clean. "Well….It won't be long now…maybe I should just kill you instead of having to wait….Well…that would be no fun, I need a guy who will serve my purposes….Oh well…I guess this is goodbye then Yohji…" Mikari said. She leaned down and kissed him gently, blood all over her face. Yohji stared at her horrified, as she raised the blade over his chest. "Die now Yohji Kudou!" She yelled and plunged it downward. Yohji shut his eyes, and waited for it to end…But…nothing…he felt nothing. Yohji slowly opened his eyes only to find he was floating….Floating in Kojiro's arms… "What the fuck!?" Yohji swears and stares up at Kojiro. "HOLY FUCKING SHIT! BASTARD SON OF A BITCH!!" "Please Yohji, that's my ear you're screaming in…." Kojiro said calmly. Kojiro glared at Mikari. "Kai…." "Kojiro…..?" Mikari said. Kojiro looked down at Yohji and said, "You just stay up here, while I take care of her…." "Don't kill her….please…" "Don't worry, I have everything under control Yohji…." Kojiro carefully lets Yohji go, and lands softly on the floor, Yohji still floating in mid air, and out of Mikari's reach, thankfully. "Kai…..What the hell is going on!?" Kojiro questions, folding his arms. "B-But…B-B-But….how….?" Mikari stammers. "Easy….I'm a celestial vampire remember….Just like you….I can't die….at least not that easily…..Now please….put the sword down…I don't want to have to force you…" Kojiro pleads and takes a step towards her. Mikari jumps back a bit and holds the sword in fighting stance. "N-no….Kojiro why don't you come with me? We….we could be happy together….eliminating all of the humans…..then it'll just be the two of us, just like you always wanted….." Kojiro stopped. He couldn't believe what his sister was offering him. He shook his head fiercely. "No Kai….your life is with Yohji….I don't feel that way for you any longer….I promised to take care of you, so that is what I'm going to do…I will make sure that you and Yohji are happy together….that's all I want…..now please…..give me the sword…" He says and steps closer, til the end of the blade was touching his chest. Mikari stood there, unsure of what to do at that moment. Just then, Ken, Aya, Gabriel, Omi, and Tsuki walked into the room, only to find Kojiro standing there, with a sword pointed at him, and Mikari at the other end of it. "WHAT THE FUCK!" Omi comments rather loudly. Kojiro glances in their direction. "Kai….you know you can't fight all of us…" "K-Kojiro? Is that really you? And Kai…..I can't believe my eyes…." Mikari and Kojiro both look over to see Gabriel standing there. Their eyes widen. "G-Grandma? Grandma Gabbie?" "Grandmother?" Gabriel smiles and nods. Mikari drops the sword immediately and runs into her grandmother's embrace. Kojiro stands there, not believing what he is seeing. "G-Grandma! I've missed you so much!" "And I've missed you Kai….And I've missed you Kojiro…My how you've both grown…such a beautiful young woman, and a handsome young man….Oh I'm so glad I found you two…" Kojiro shakes his head and blinks a couple of times to make sure he was seeing right. "I-It really is you grandmother…I-I can't believe it…." He stutters. "Come….we must go home, so we can work this all out…." Gabriel says, but is cut short by a large blast… Everyone flew into the back wall, Gabriel's hood flying over her face. A man in a velvet cloak was floating at the other end of the destroyed room. His maroon eyes search around the room, until they fall upon Mikari, who was lying unconscious next to the blade. "Gabriel??" He says and lifts her up into his arms. He doesn't see the blade…Yohji watches this and yells, "HEY FUCKED UP SON OF A BITCH THAT'S MY WOMAN!! GET YOUR FILTHY FUCKING HANDS OFF HER NOW!!! DID YOU HEAR ME!? OR DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU!!!" The man looks over at Yohji and replies, "You are a noisy human aren't you? Go away you bother me…" and flicks his hand, causing Yohji to fly back into the wall. The man then vanishes, along with Mikari. Yohji shakes his head as the others come around. "What the hell was that?" Omi asked rubbing his neck. "I don't know, but whoever it was, is going to pay for taking my wife…" Yohji grumbles, wincing at the pain in his body. Tsuki finally wakes up and bitches about the stake in her elbow. "Man this is going to take at least a week to heal…same with the gash in my side… "sigh" oh well, what else is new…" She walks over to Yohji and heals his wounds, then tends to anyone else who needed help. "Who was that anyways?" Ken questions. "I dunno….some dude in a velvet cloak….he had maroon eyes and black hair with silver streaks….that's all I can remember…" Yohji exclaims. Gabriel gasps. "I-Is that what he looked like?" Yohji nodded. "oh my god! Kai is in a lot of danger…." "Why?" "Because that was the Lord of the Vampires…..and…my husband…..Mercurius Cosimo De Midchi…" Everyone gasped at the sudden impact. "T-That's the master vampire!? So we've been going after Mikari for nothing!? Shit! That's just fucked up majorly…" Yohji curses. "What we need to concentrate on right now is how do we get Kai back without anything bad happening….Mercurius thinks that she is me…..and that isn't good, for is he finds out that she is only half vampire, he will surely kill her….he only accepts pure bloods…." "Wait…back up a minute, so you're telling us that Mikari is only half vampire? Man that just makes things even worse…." Gabriel stands up and heads for the door, she stops and turns around. "Come….we must find and stop Mercurius before he finds out she is only half……and before the next crescent moon, which is in less than five days…..If we don't all of the vampires will overtake Tokyo…" "Wait….why are you helping us?" Gabriel stops and drops her gaze. "Because…..unlike you……I now have nothing to gain….nor lose….."
Aya and Ken weren't very happy to be woken up at such a later hour. "Tsuki! What the hell is this all about? It's midnight for Christ's sake….you should be asleep…" Aya growls, but is cut off by Tsuki. "Just shut up a minute will ya?! I just got us some very useful information, now if you don't want to hear it…" "Go on, tell us so we can go home…." Ken yawns. "Right….Well I was just taking a night walk, when I overheard a very interesting conversation going on in Yohji's house…..I know who killed everyone at the orphanage…." Aya and Ken were suddenly wide awake. "Really? Then who was it?" Ken asks. "It was Mikari…" Everybody's eyes widened. "Y-You're joking right Tsuki? You can't be serious….." Omi says. Tsuki shakes her head. Aya's eyes narrow. "So….She is the target then….Hmm….." "And Yohji is on her side, he will protect her from us….we have to figure out what to do with him…" Tsuki points out. "Well….Mikari's the target and Yohji has turned against us……We don't have much of a choice here….we don't have any choice actually…..I guess it's time to get to work then…..Are you guys ready and willing to go through with this?" Aya asks. Ken and Omi weren't sure, but Tsuki nodded matter of factly. "Tsuki…you're going to go through with this?" Omi questions, shocked. Tsuki glances at him, then heads up to get ready. "Right, we'll be back soon Omi, be ready by then…." Omi sighs and nods as Aya and Ken run out the door. By the time Omi had closed the door, Tsuki was back downstairs fully prepared. "I can't believe that you're going to kill your own sister Tsuki….that isn't you…." "Just get ready Omi….It'll all be over soon….Very soon…." Tsuki replies, glancing out at the full moon.
Mikari woke up, about a half hour after she went to sleep, and was feeling awful. "Man…..what is going on with me?" She asks herself, and starts to feel dizzy. She slouches over a minute then, slowly raises her head, her eyes blood red. She turns to Yohji who is sleeping quietly next to her, and cocks her head to one side, and grins., her sharp teeth showing brightly. Yohji shifts and mumbles a little, but doesn't wake. Mikari watches him a moment, then leans over him. He stirs a bit more and his eyes flutter open. "Mikari? What are you doing?" He asks and sits up. Mikari glares at him, and replies, "Nothing…..dear, I just couldn't sleep that's all…." "Oh….well I'm thirsty so I'm gonna go get a drink ok? I'll be back…" "You know, maybe I should go with you….I'm feeling kind of thirsty as well…." Yohji raises an eyebrow and says, "Ok, I gue-…." He doesn't finish, for he was too buy staring into a pair of blood red eyes, and those weren't Mikari's eyes. Yohji slowly backed towards the door, then quickly ran into the closet, locking it behind him. Mikari just stood there, waiting, she knew he couldn't stay in there forever. Yohji quickly got into his assassin uniform and grabbed his watch. After putting it on, he prepared himself for the worst. The door suddenly flew open and Yohji jumped out, wrapping his wire around Mikari. "That should hold her for a while…" He said as Mikari tried to struggle and get loose. Yohji ran down the stairs and grabbed the phone. "Hello?" Kens voice was heard on the other end. "Ken! I need you to get over here now! Mikari has gone nuts!" Yohji yells, when he hears a loud SNAP and sees Mikari running down the stairs. All Ken heard then was a yell and crashing. "Yohji!" "Yohji is busy at the moment, you'll have to call back later….bye now…" Mikari said and ripped the phone out of the wall. Ken was about to say something when he heard the phone go dead. "Shit…" Ken ran outside, smack dab into Aya. "Ken!" Aya yelled. "Aya! Man we have got a major situation here….Yohji just called and said Mikari has flipped her lid….We have to hurry…" Aya nods and they run down to the Porsche. Omi and Tsuki were already in front of Yohji's house by the time they got there. Aya and Ken jumped out of the car and ran up to join them. They could hear loud crashing sounds inside. "So….this is it then?" Ken asks. They all nod and enter the house.
(At that very same time…)
Yohji and Mikari did a couple of ring around the Rosie games before Mikari got fed up and threw the table clear across the room. "You've been working out haven't you?" Yohji said as Mikari got him by the neck and threw him too. He landed against the wall, hitting his head hard. Mikari walked up to him and lifted him up. "Now….you said you wanted to be with me forever right? Well….lets make sure that's what happens…." Mikari said and sank her teeth into his neck, just as Aya and the others walked in. "YOHJI!" Omi shouted. Mikari glared at them, then dropped the unconscious Yohji on the floor. "So…more guests for dinner…lets see…who will be first….Hmm….I've always found you a bother to me….you'll be first…." Mikari yells pointing at Tsuki. She just glares at her and replies, "I'd love to see you try it bloodsucker!" This pissed Mikari off royally. "Don't call me that!" Tsuki didn't have time to reply, for Mikari was charging right at her. Tsuki managed to dodge the first few blows, but was a little too slow for the next one. Mikari laughed as she dug her nails deeper into Tsuki's side. Tsuki glared at her, and pushed her away, grasping her side. Just before Mikari could finish her off, Aya ran in front and blocked Mikari's hand with his sword. "Ahhh!" Mikari screamed as her hand fell on the floor. She then stops and looks at Aya. "That hurt Aya….Please don't do that again, I hate having to put myself back together…" Mikari says as she picks up her hand and sticks back in her wrist. She moves her fingers around to make sure they still worked and brushed a little bit of hair out of her face. "There, much better…" Tsuki had had enough of Mikari's smart ass attitude and stood up. "That's it vampire….you're finished…" Tsuki said and held her hand out. A light appeared in her palm and soon grew, til it was in a spear-like shape, then the light died out, leaving behind a long, black-pearl staff, with a dragon's body wrapped around it, but there was no head. "What? Are you gonna poke me to death?" Mikari asks sarcastically. Tsuki just grins and pushes a button on the side. The dragons' head suddenly shoots out, and instead of a bottom jaw, there was an extremely large curved blade. It made the weapon look like a scythe, which was what it was… Mikari blinked a few times, then realized what Tsuki was holding and recoiled a little. "That scythe…..where'd you get that!?" "Lets just say it's a present from a friend…..Now die bitch!" Tsuki shouts and lunges at Mikari, just missing her by inches. Mikari backs against a wall and watches Tsuki. Before Tsuki could slash at her again, a giant ball of white light shot through the window and landed in front of Mikari. Everyone looked at it a minute, then Mikari picked it up. It instantly turned into a massive blade. Tsuki's eyes widened when she saw the blade, then had a flash back.
(Flash Back)
"Tsukiryuu run!" Tsuki could hear her father screaming as they were being chased by celestial vampires. Tsuki ran as fast as she could, until her and her whole family were cornered. There before them was the master vampire, Mercurius Cosimo De Midchi. There were hundreds of vampires around him, all covered in the blood of her friends. Tsuki looked up to her father, who was white with fear. He knelt down and looked at his daughter. "Tsukiryuu….I am so sorry….you will have to go on without us…." "No daddy…I wanna stay here with you…" "No Tsukiryuu…if you do, there will be no hope left for our kind, here take this with you, it will help you fight against the vampires…" He said and pulled out a small, emblem, necklce. On it was a silver cross, with a different colored gems on the ends and a single white one in the center. "What's it for?" "You will know soon enough my dear, and one more thing…..what ever you do, don't let the vampires get a hold of this…" He continued handing her, what looked to be a locket. She stared at it a moment then asked, "What is it?" "It is a Soul Collector, it is used to gather the souls of the dead. It also holds a gift, given only to those of celestial blood….a scythe….it may sound strange, but that power and weapon will help you…….now go, before they see you…" "But…" "GO!" he finishes and pushes her away. Tsuki runs a few yards before turning back. Her eyes widened as the master vampire walked up to her father and drove a white blade through his heart. "DADDY!" Tsuki screamed, as she watched him and the rest of her family and friends die….then runs into the forest, never to look back…
"Tsuki!" Tsuki snaps back, into the present only to find that Mikari had vanished somewhere. "What? What happened?" She asks dazed. "You just zoned out, and you let Mikari get away…." Ken explained. Aya and Omi were over tending to Yohji, who had come around soon afterward. "Whoa…what happened?" Yohji asks. "Mikari went crazy and bit you….great….does that mean we have to kill him too now?" Ken questions. Yohji grabs him by the collar and threatens, "Yeah right, if anyone is going to be killing anybody, I'm gonna kill you!" Ken shields his eyes and waits for the punch, but luckily there was none. Yohji was feeling too weak to hurt anyone right now and dropped Ken on his ass. Tsuki walks over to him and turns his head, spotting the bite marks. "So, she turned on ya huh? I'd say, about three days…" "Three days? Three days until what?" Yohji asks stupidly. "Three days until you turn into a vampire, then I kill you…." Tsuki replies. "Oh well that sounds comforting. I'm really looking forward to that, really I am…." "There is however, one way to keep you from changing…" "Oh? And I would like to know this…" "Kill the master vampire…." Yohji dropped his head. "Great…..just what I wanted to hear…." "Well it's either that or get killed by us…so…what's it going to be Yohji?" Aya asks him. "I guess I really have no choice do I…so where do we start…" Omi pulls out his laptop and turns it on. "We find out all the information we can on little miss Kai then we go after her…" "But we know just about everything there is to know about her…" Ken explains. "Not everything…there was a full moon tonight right?" They all nod their heads. "Hmm…There was a full moon the night the orphanage was destroyed…." "Yeah so? What's that got to do with anything?" Ken asks. "That's it! That's the center of the virus! The full moon! She only becomes like this on a full moon! And….." "And what?" "We forgot today was Mikari's birthday….." "Oh well that's REAL important Omi…." "Yes it is actually…" "My god…." Ken says running his hand down his face. "So…her birthday+full moon= super phsycotic bitch? Part two?" Ken asks. Omi nods awkwardly. "I guess, if you wanna put it that way…." "So….tomorrow she'll be back to her chippy ol self again? I hope?" Yohji asks. Omi nods, making Yohji happy. Tsuki however wasn't pleased at all. "No matter if she's normal or not, she is the target , and I WILL complete this mission….now if you will excuse me, I have vampires to hunt down…" Tsuki growls and stalks out the door. "Tsuki! Wait for me!" Omi hollers and runs out after her, followed by Yohji, Aya, and Ken.
"Hi ho hi ho, psycho bitch hunting we go……Ouch! Damn it!" Ken says rubbing the back of his head where Yohji had smacked him hard. "Sheesh I was only joking Yohji lighten up man…" Ken complained as they combed the streets for Mikari. Suddenly, someone burst out of the shadows. "Holy Shit!" Ken shouts and jumps. A woman stood before them, looking very sad. Tsuki had a feeling she's met this woman before. "Hello?" Omi asks. "Hello….Where hath she gone? I sense her presence, but, I can't see her…The rebellion of the dark ones hath started…" "What are you talking about? The rebellion of the dark ones? Who are you?" The woman removed her hood and Tsuki's eyes narrowed. " I am Gabriel Cosimo De Midchi….I hath been watching thou, mortals…..I plead for thou arts help now….My granddaughter….Kai…She isn't with thee? This is worst than I had predicted….Come thou must help me find her…." Gabriel asked. Tsuki then remembered that name, and where it came from and glared at Gabriel. Suddenly something took over her. "No….Thou art one of them….Vampire! I shalt not help thee of the dark blood…" Tsuki blinked a couple of times. "Did I just say that?" Gabriel's eyes widened. "Thou….Thou is a…a….no…that cannot be….there are no more…..please I beg thee, from the heart of a grandmother who is looking for her granddaughter….help me……" Tsuki looks at her carefully….Thinks about this. 'If I kill her now, then that will just get rid of another bloodsucker, but if I go with her……I'll surely be led to Mikari….' "Fine….But if you try ANYTHING I will cut your fucking head off…..Got it?" "Yes…Thank thee…" Grabiel bows. Tsuki snorts her dislike, but follows as Gabriel leads the way. She stops at a corner and everyone notices how it suddenly got much darker and foggier. "What the hell?" Aya gasps. "They are here…please stay close to me so they don't notice….Hurry…" Gabriel whispers and walks towards the Tokyo Highschool. Everyone sees a light in the third floor room. "Hey….what's a light doing there?" Tsuki asks. "What place is that?" Yohji questions. "T-That's the….Music room….where the piano, keyboard, trumpets, flutes, drums, guitar, violin, Pan flutes, the music mixer, and the Triangle are…..You can tell that Tokyo High doesn't have very many instruments…." "Doesn't have many? Damn, they have a whole shit load in there….that's a lot…." Omi shakes his head and sweat drops. "I pity you Ken really I do…" He sighs. Suddenly the soft melody of a piano could be heard from the music room. "What?" Omi says. They all headed to the school. Mysteriously, the doors were unlocked and they could easily push them open. Someone was expecting them….. They walked around a bit, and found that the lights were all out. Tsuki, Omi, and Aya then noticed that the front office door was open. The three of them made their way into the room. The first thing they saw was blood. Of course. "Agh grodey……Mikari really needs to stop taking lessons from you Tsuki…" Omi exclaims, while looking at all of the blood soaked papers. Aya notices a piece of paper with words written in blood. "Hey guys, I found some flashlights…." Yohji pokes his head in the door and replies, "Good, cause I can't see a god damn fucking thing out here…." Omi glares at him and shoves the flashlight in Yohji's mouth. "Quit your bitching Yohji…" Omi mutters. Yohji grumbles as he takes the flashlight out of his mouth and turns it on, and man was it bright. "Will you get that thing out of my face!" Gabriel tells Yohji. "Oh hehe…sorry Gabbie…" Grabiel rolled her eyes. Aya takes a flashlight and flips it on, then examines it.
It read:
Weiss,
I let you get this far…Don't expect a warm welcome from me when we meet face to face…As you might have noticed already, Yohji has been bitten and will soon be mine in less than three days….You might as well give up…There is no way I'll surrender to you….Especially that bitch Tsuki…Oh and if you're reading this Tsuki, I know who you are….if you put one foot out of line, I will tell everyone about YOUR past, and what you really are….so I advise you to stay clear of me….Well, I guess that is all I have to say…for now…..see you soon Weiss…
Kai Shotsuka
"Well she seems happy to see us….so much for a welcome wagon….Well shall we explore?" Aya mutters. Omi and Tsuki nod and walk back out to Yohji and the other two. "So…how are we going to do this? There are two floors, one basement, and a roof to check, and there are six of us…." Ken says thinking really hard. "Alright here's how it's gonna go….Yohji, Ken, you two head upstairs, and DON'T go into the music room, until I've come up here….Or I'll kick both your asses to the moon and back…got it?" They both wink at each other and stand in slaute fashion. " Yes sir Mr. Aya sir! Want us to do 20 jumping jacks as well?" "Bite Me…" "You really want me to answer that?" "No Yohji, just get the fuck out of my face…" "Yes Drill Sergeant!" "Yes Ma'am…" Ken salutes. Aya glares at him, he just smiles makes a kissy face and runs down the hall like an idiot. Yohji laughes and follows him. "Omi Tsuki, you two check both the main floor and the basement…Me and Gabriel will search the roof….and behave….Omi…" Omi puts his hands up in a defensive gesture… "Yeah, yeah I know I know….Leave me alone…." "I mean it OMI…" "Yes DAD!" Aya glances at him. "Why me?" He mutters and motions for Gabriel to come with him. Gabriel gives Tsuki one last look before following Aya up the stairs. That left only Tsuki and Omi. "Yes! He's gone!" Tsuki shakes her head and rolls her eyes. "I pity you Omi…..Really I do…" She says in a mocking tone. Omi stops hopping up and down and looks at Tsuki. "What?" "Just….c'mon…first we have to check the basement." "Ok….If you want to be that way…" Omi sighs as Tsuki takes his hand and drags him down the steps.
Yohji and Ken walk through the darkened halls of the second floor. The piano music got louder and louder with each step they took. "Man that music sure is creepy sounding…it makes you think like you were in a scary movie like Dracula or something…maybe even that creepy game Silent Hill…" "Ken shut your pie whole before I shut it for you…I really am in no mood to listen to you talk about your gay ass movies and video games…" Ken sighs and shrugs as they continued to walk. Ken then suddenly ran into something hard and held his head. "God damnit Ken! Watch where you're going!" "Sorry Yohji…why the hell did you…wait a minute…you're not thinking what I think you're thinking, because if you are thinking what I think you're thinking, then you're thinking what I think you're thinking…." Yohji looked at Ken, a weird expression on his face. "Ken…you are a dumbass…really someone needs to shoot you and put you out of everyone else's misery." "Anyways Yohji are you thinking what I think you're…Oww! Damn you!" "Ken just shut up will you…Jesus Christ…you know what." "What?" "I'm going to get you a little key chain that says "Hi I'm a dumbass!" on it…I swear to god you're blonder than I am." Ken just shakes his head and stares at the door that Yohji had stopped at. "Y'know Aya told us not to go in here until he came…" "And do I ever listen to Aya?" "Ummm…no…" "Alright then." "Well…go ahead and open it then." Yohji glances at Ken and replies, "No you open the door." "No YOU open it." "Ken open the god damn door!" "No! She's your wife not mine!" "Okay Ken…but…you're the first one I'm coming after when I turn into one of them." Ken thought this over a minute. "You lie." "No I don't." "You do." "I don't." "You do!" "I don't!" "You lie times infinity!" "Whatever…open it." "No you." "No you." "No you." "No you." "No me." "Okay fine…you win…be my guest." Ken smiles victoriously then realizes what happened. "Uh…err…Damn you Yohji! You stupid ass!" Yohji just grins at him as Ken turned the knob and pushed the door open. Ken and Yohji gulp as they slowly pushed the door open. Ken suddenly busts in there all LAPD like yelling, "ALRIGHT! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS OR CLAWS OR WHATEVER THE HELL YOU 'VE GOT, UP OR I'LL POP A CAP IN YO ASS....….Hey Yohji how did that sound?" "Nice…..very nice….You training to be a black LAPD officer? Cause you do a fine ass job of it…" Yohji replies sarcastically. "Really? You think so?" "Definitely…" "Cool…" Ken smirks. As the two men gazed around the room, Ken spots a small blood trail. "Hm?" He raises an eyebrow and follows the trail, until it ends at the piano. There on a certain amount of keys was blood. "Ok…That's really fucked up…Now I KNOW this is like Silent Hill….You people suck! You're not supposed to copy the video game!! Plagiarism!!"Ken hollers. Yohji shakes his head pityingly and walks over to Ken. He studies the keys, then reads the poem above it.
"The Scars Of A Shattered Heart can only be mended by the death of an enemy… No longer shalt the pain continue…Nor shalt the suffering commence….When two hearts beat as one, only then will the fight end….Shall you choose to end the suffering, or to become the cause of it, is your decision and your decision alone….No one will guide you…no one will save you….You are an evil in itself….Mend The Scars Of A Shattered Heart, and save the one you hold dear….
For death is only the beginning…."
"This Poem….It sounds…..familiar…." Yohji says. Ken on the other hand had no idea what to make of it. "Sounds like load of bull to me…" Yohji paid no attention to Ken, for he was thinking really hard as to where he had heard the poem before. He played with the blood-marked keys for a minute, then tried to translate the words into notes. His eyes widened as the words turned from a poem, into a song…A song that was played just for him…He sat there and played the song that he remembered so well. Ken was amazed by Yohji's sudden musical talent. "What are you playing Yohji?" Ken asked curiously. "The Scars Of A Shattered Heart….The song Mikari played for me…" "Oh…." Yohji slowly brought the song to an end and sighed. Clapping was heard throughout the room, and Yohji and Ken turned to see who it was. "Very nice Yohji…I'm surprised you remember that song. Anyways…it's time to say goodbye…" Mikari grins and walks towards them. Yohji stands and The two of them back towards the window. "Umm…Ummm….Aww hell…." Ken stammers. Mikari glares at him. "I don't want to talk to you, go away!" She says and throws him through the window. "AHHHHH!!!!" Ken screams, then Yohji hears a loud CRACK, and all goes silent. "KEN!!" Yohji yells and tries to look out the window, but is stopped by Mikari, who grabbed his collar and threw him in the opposite direction. "Now, the fun begins…."
(Meanwhile…)
"So…You're Mikari's grandmother huh? You seem pretty young…" "Yes….that is what happens when you are bitten by a vampire…You stop aging….Kai, stopped aging at 21.…She will remain that way forever…." Aya glanced at her, but said nothing. "Well there isn't anything up here….lets head down to the second floor and see if Yohji has gotten his ass beaten yet…" "Alright.." Together, the two of them head downstairs. Omi and Tsuki weren't having much luck either. It seems they had gotten into a bit of a fix. They had walked into the wrong place at the wrong time. All of the people who were bitten or killed by Mikari, were now awake as vampires. "Oh shit! Now what!? We're surrounded." Omi panics. Tsuki wraps her arms around him and replies, "Don't worry Omi…I will protect you from all around you…." "But how?" He says as he grabs on to Tsuki. Tsuki's eyes narrow, then flash, a barrier suddenly forms around them. "Huh?" Was all Omi could say. The vampires watched them hungrily, but when one tried to touch them, it proved more difficult than predicted. As soon as his hand touched the barrier, his whole body burst into flames. Omi's eyes widen as the man screams and dies. "What the hell just happened to him?!" Omi asks. "This barrier is a sun barrier. These are nightwalkers, and can't touch sunlight, unless they want to become a heap of ashes. Now move with me to the stairs so we can get out of here….I can't keep this up much longer…." "Ok.." He said and together they moved to the staircase. It was difficult, but they managed to get up the stairs without the monsters following them. Once they were up the steps, Tsuki let Omi go, and the barrier vanished. "Alright….now we must head outside, before our hungry friends invite us over for dinner." Tsuki exclaimed as Omi followed her outside. Their eyes widened and their jaws dropped when they saw the form lying in a puddle of blood on the ground. "Ken! Oh my god!" Omi shouts and runs over to him. Tsuki just casually walks over to him, looking calm now. "Judging by the looks of it, he was thrown out the window…" Tsuki glances up to which window it was and sighed, "It's the music room Omi….Stupid ass Yohji talked him into it…Mikari probably did this…C'mon, move so I can bring him back…Just so I can kill him again for being a dumbass…." Omi gave her a funny look and shook his head as she placed a hand on Ken's chest. It started glowing, engulfing his whole body, then died down. Ken's eyes fluttered open and he sat up, looking as if he were on crack. "Whoa….watch that first step, it's a real lulu…." Ken then sees that Omi and Tsuki are staring at him. "Uhh….Hi?" Ken stares at them, then gets to his feet. "Alrighty then….where was I? Oh yes, I was thrown out the window by Mikari. And…..Then I died…and then…oh yeah, Yohji's about to get his ass kicked….I gotta see that!" Ken Shouts and runs back into the building, leaving Omi and Tsuki utterly confused. "…….What? No thanks?" Tsuki asks as she's dragged into the building by Omi.
Yohji leaned against the wall holding his bloody arm. 'Shit, shit, shit, SHIT! This hurts like a bitch!" He thought as Mikari advanced on him. "Uh….oh crap….I'm in trouble…." Yohji muttered as Mikari took out her blade and pierced Yohji's flesh. Yohji cried out in pain as the blade sunk deeper and deeper into his leg. Mikari grinned as she pulled the sword out of his leg and licked it clean. "Well….It won't be long now…maybe I should just kill you instead of having to wait….Well…that would be no fun, I need a guy who will serve my purposes….Oh well…I guess this is goodbye then Yohji…" Mikari said. She leaned down and kissed him gently, blood all over her face. Yohji stared at her horrified, as she raised the blade over his chest. "Die now Yohji Kudou!" She yelled and plunged it downward. Yohji shut his eyes, and waited for it to end…But…nothing…he felt nothing. Yohji slowly opened his eyes only to find he was floating….Floating in Kojiro's arms… "What the fuck!?" Yohji swears and stares up at Kojiro. "HOLY FUCKING SHIT! BASTARD SON OF A BITCH!!" "Please Yohji, that's my ear you're screaming in…." Kojiro said calmly. Kojiro glared at Mikari. "Kai…." "Kojiro…..?" Mikari said. Kojiro looked down at Yohji and said, "You just stay up here, while I take care of her…." "Don't kill her….please…" "Don't worry, I have everything under control Yohji…." Kojiro carefully lets Yohji go, and lands softly on the floor, Yohji still floating in mid air, and out of Mikari's reach, thankfully. "Kai…..What the hell is going on!?" Kojiro questions, folding his arms. "B-But…B-B-But….how….?" Mikari stammers. "Easy….I'm a celestial vampire remember….Just like you….I can't die….at least not that easily…..Now please….put the sword down…I don't want to have to force you…" Kojiro pleads and takes a step towards her. Mikari jumps back a bit and holds the sword in fighting stance. "N-no….Kojiro why don't you come with me? We….we could be happy together….eliminating all of the humans…..then it'll just be the two of us, just like you always wanted….." Kojiro stopped. He couldn't believe what his sister was offering him. He shook his head fiercely. "No Kai….your life is with Yohji….I don't feel that way for you any longer….I promised to take care of you, so that is what I'm going to do…I will make sure that you and Yohji are happy together….that's all I want…..now please…..give me the sword…" He says and steps closer, til the end of the blade was touching his chest. Mikari stood there, unsure of what to do at that moment. Just then, Ken, Aya, Gabriel, Omi, and Tsuki walked into the room, only to find Kojiro standing there, with a sword pointed at him, and Mikari at the other end of it. "WHAT THE FUCK!" Omi comments rather loudly. Kojiro glances in their direction. "Kai….you know you can't fight all of us…" "K-Kojiro? Is that really you? And Kai…..I can't believe my eyes…." Mikari and Kojiro both look over to see Gabriel standing there. Their eyes widen. "G-Grandma? Grandma Gabbie?" "Grandmother?" Gabriel smiles and nods. Mikari drops the sword immediately and runs into her grandmother's embrace. Kojiro stands there, not believing what he is seeing. "G-Grandma! I've missed you so much!" "And I've missed you Kai….And I've missed you Kojiro…My how you've both grown…such a beautiful young woman, and a handsome young man….Oh I'm so glad I found you two…" Kojiro shakes his head and blinks a couple of times to make sure he was seeing right. "I-It really is you grandmother…I-I can't believe it…." He stutters. "Come….we must go home, so we can work this all out…." Gabriel says, but is cut short by a large blast… Everyone flew into the back wall, Gabriel's hood flying over her face. A man in a velvet cloak was floating at the other end of the destroyed room. His maroon eyes search around the room, until they fall upon Mikari, who was lying unconscious next to the blade. "Gabriel??" He says and lifts her up into his arms. He doesn't see the blade…Yohji watches this and yells, "HEY FUCKED UP SON OF A BITCH THAT'S MY WOMAN!! GET YOUR FILTHY FUCKING HANDS OFF HER NOW!!! DID YOU HEAR ME!? OR DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU!!!" The man looks over at Yohji and replies, "You are a noisy human aren't you? Go away you bother me…" and flicks his hand, causing Yohji to fly back into the wall. The man then vanishes, along with Mikari. Yohji shakes his head as the others come around. "What the hell was that?" Omi asked rubbing his neck. "I don't know, but whoever it was, is going to pay for taking my wife…" Yohji grumbles, wincing at the pain in his body. Tsuki finally wakes up and bitches about the stake in her elbow. "Man this is going to take at least a week to heal…same with the gash in my side… "sigh" oh well, what else is new…" She walks over to Yohji and heals his wounds, then tends to anyone else who needed help. "Who was that anyways?" Ken questions. "I dunno….some dude in a velvet cloak….he had maroon eyes and black hair with silver streaks….that's all I can remember…" Yohji exclaims. Gabriel gasps. "I-Is that what he looked like?" Yohji nodded. "oh my god! Kai is in a lot of danger…." "Why?" "Because that was the Lord of the Vampires…..and…my husband…..Mercurius Cosimo De Midchi…" Everyone gasped at the sudden impact. "T-That's the master vampire!? So we've been going after Mikari for nothing!? Shit! That's just fucked up majorly…" Yohji curses. "What we need to concentrate on right now is how do we get Kai back without anything bad happening….Mercurius thinks that she is me…..and that isn't good, for is he finds out that she is only half vampire, he will surely kill her….he only accepts pure bloods…." "Wait…back up a minute, so you're telling us that Mikari is only half vampire? Man that just makes things even worse…." Gabriel stands up and heads for the door, she stops and turns around. "Come….we must find and stop Mercurius before he finds out she is only half……and before the next crescent moon, which is in less than five days…..If we don't all of the vampires will overtake Tokyo…" "Wait….why are you helping us?" Gabriel stops and drops her gaze. "Because…..unlike you……I now have nothing to gain….nor lose….."
