Part 2
Two Teams and the Cult
"So Schwarz is meeting us where?" came Yohji's voice as he walked downstairs with Omi who was looking around.
"The park," Omi shook his head as his gear was being placed in Aya's car. "Crawford doesn't want us fighting, but Aya-kun is bringing his gear too."
"Splendid, we have to work with our enemies just to get their brat back," the tall blond groaned as he put on his trench coat. "I don't like this."
"Neither do I, but we have to do it."
Omi walked back upstairs and was going to check on Ken who was looking rather pale. "Have you fed?"
"Of course, I did, an hour ago," he put a packet that was once used to carry blood in the trash.
"Don't jump at me about it," the younger vampire looked sadly at him. "Where is Aya-kun?"
"Making final arrangements with that bastard, Crawford," Ken snarled as he looked around. "Hey, Omi, sorry about that, its just that, I don't know what to tell Yuriko when I see her tomorrow."
What makes him think he can? Omi blinked at this and shook his head. "I don't know, you do realize you can't move around a lot during the day and most normal food makes you sick, you do remember that, right?"
"Yeah, I know, I mean I don't want to scare her when she sees the fangs."
"You're telling her you're a vampire?" This was just what he needed his love interest just about to tell the best secret in the world. "Ken-kun, you can't do that! She'll never understand you!"
**
The darkness of the park was rather soothing to both vampires, Ken looked around his yellow eyes coming into focus as he walked over to Omi who was looking around. "I can smell them, Ken-kun," Omi whispered.
"So can I," Ken smiled as he moved around so that Berserker had to look for him. "They're rather startled."
/How do you know?/ a thought entered their minds and they found that Mastermind was keeping track of them. "Bombay and Siberian are nearby, Abyassian and Balinese will be here any minute. Come on out!"
Omi and Ken stood side by side and Crawford was looking at the two of them as if he wasn't too happy about what he saw. "You're both.."
"We're both vampires," Ken laughed at that as if it was kind of funny. "You said that Omi was going to turn me and you were correct, but not in the way you thought. So far it seems that your little Prodigy got himself kidnapped."
Mastermind straightened himself up. "Of course he got kidnapped if Crawford hadn't of beat the living crap out of him, he wouldn't be in this mess, now would he?" This was rather surprising that they saw Mastermind so angry.
"No matter what is done is done," Crawford sounded calm though Omi and Ken could smell fear and seemed to enjoy seeing him squirm. "It seems the Weiss to have a, how you say step up for us."
Aya walked up and then looked at the leader with a katana is his hand. "You think we're just going to allow Ken and Omi go into the vampire's lair."
"More or less yes, they have the same powers as these vampires."
Omi gave a rather annoyed look at Crawford. "There you go assuming that both Ken and I know anything about other vampires. The only contact I had was with my uncle and you know how that turned out, he tried to kill me! How do you think the other vampires will react to us?"
This was a good point, both the leaders looked at each other and seemed to consider what the vampire had said, both of them were young, and they had no clue how the other vampires were going to react. "But it might be the only way to stop them from hurting Nagi," came a rather soft voice and they turned to see Farfarello, Berserker just leaning against a tree. "Vampires hurt God, but if they hurt Nagi, I will make them pay."
"Rushing in like that, will get us all killed, Farfarello," Mastermind shook his head. "Besides I am in agreement with little Omi on this one. Even if we had Ken and Omi make contact with the other vampires, those guy might just turn around and kill our only way to get Nagi back."
The insane man shrugged though he considered it stupid to contact the Weiss on this, but he in agreement with Mastermind. He looked up and nodded bringing out his knife looking at it.
**
I don't like this, Nagi thought as he lay in the cell, the door opened and another injection was forced to his neck. He choked a little as he felt the drug take affect. "He is ready," he heard the vampire whispered. "Neutralized."
Neutralized meant mostly he couldn't even move or barely use his powers at all, he was lifted up and carried into another room. "Do you think it is wise to just do this?" he heard a female voice. "He may not be."
"If he isn't he'll just be another vampire. A couple more feedings and we won't even need the drug anymore," another voice was heard and he felt the pain at his neck and blacked out again.
**
Ken and Omi stared as the plan to send them into the vampire club was set up. "Are you sure this is such a good idea to send Omi in alone?" Ken asked doubtfully as Crawford just looked at him.
"So far you're just a childe, he is your creator, if you entered without him, they'd kill you on sight. So far though Omi is from an old family in Japan, vampire families like his will make it easier," Crawford gave a sigh. "Schuldich has kept an eye on this club since last night."
"All I know that they lured Nagi in," Schuldich whispered crossing his arms. "I tried to enter and all they did was say I was too old."
"What makes you think that they'll let Omi in?" came Yohji's question as he lay there on a park bench nearby thinking. "If they could tell how young Omi is, they may already know that Omi killed the vampire that made him."
"Don't be stupid, Michinimayou is an old title, so far all Omi has to do is to claim his is Michinimayou Mamoru." The leader of Schwarz seemed convinced it would work, though he wasn't sure he could trust the Weiss as much as he wanted to. He looked at Omi has he handed him a bug and whispered. "This should work, just put it in your clothes and so far no one should be able to see it."
"Will this also give a visual?"
"No, but we could track you," Aya nodded his approval of the plan, he just looked as though it was going to work either way. "Should we try this tomorrow night?"
"Yes."
**
Tomorrow Ken sat down in the flower shop doing orders, it was raining and he didn't seem to mind. He saw Yuriko smiling at him from the outside and waved. "Ken, how are you?" she smiled at him as they hugged.
Omi walked out and stared at them and then walked back into the back room and shut the door. "Come off it, Omi," Yohji looked at him. "You can't stop him."
"Don't you think I know that, but every time I think about her, its like she's always going to take Ken from me," Omi looked rather upset.
"Face it, he isn't that way," the tall blond looked at him. "Come on its raining, there isn't any reason for you to be in here with me. So what if Ken's girlfriend is in town, you just need to say hello."
Walking out he saw Ken smiling at her, his sharp incisors were seen from his smile. "Ken-kun!" Omi looked sharply at him as his friend realized his fangs were showing.
"Omi, Yuriko and I are going across the street for coffee could you please cover my shift for awhile?" Ken's smile was somewhat priceless and though Omi didn't really want to he nodded and took over for his friend. I guess that's all I am to you, he thought sadly, just your friend.
"Its been so long Ken, you haven't changed since I left," the girl smiled at him as they walked across the street.
Ken couldn't believe how happy this made him; he was seeing the girl he loved for so long. He chuckled and took her to the café. "I'm sorry, I can't take you to a fancy restaurant right now, I wish I could."
"Its okay, Ken, I was just meaning to ask you a favor," she smiled. "When I felt Tokyo I was so upset that you couldn't come with me, but that was when I met someone."
Someone? This didn't sound right to him, he just looked at her in surprise. "I was hoping you could help him, you see, he and I are getting married and I was hoping that you could be best man, Tom doesn't have many friends and he heard so much about you. He'll be here to see you in a few days."
He gasped, he couldn't believe it, Yuriko was getting married, and he realized for the first time in his life, it felt like he should have been the one to be with her. "Sure, why not," he tried to smile and still seemed a little upset. "I'd love to meet him."
After the coffee he waved to her as she got into a car. He smiled at least trying to act like he wasn't hurt. "Ken, you better get inside, this rain will make you sick," she told him and then kissed his cheek. "I've missed you, Ken. I'll see you latter."
"Bye," Ken waved to her as she drove off; he walked into the store and up to his room.
"Ken, hey, you're soaked," he heard Yohji say and saw him just ignore him and seemed really upset. "Hey, what is your deal?" He walked into Ken's room and saw him sitting on the bed looking angry. "What is it?"
"Yuriko, she's getting married," he whispered softly.
"That's great, isn't it?"
"You don't understand, I was going to turn her into what I am," he shook his head. "I wanted so much to go to Australia to see her, but now its useless."
"Its selfish, Ken, very selfish. I was going to tell you, Omi is going to the vampire club tonight."
"So soon?"
**
Omi stood dressed in some loose fitting clothes; he kind of looked like a lost child to his team, he walked up to the club's door and it opened. Loud music boomed around him, he could see other vampires looking at him and smiled. "Hello, little one," a vampire in the back smiled, he had long blond hair and dark yellow eyes. "Freshly made?"
He backed up and the vampire came closer to him and gave a sniff on his neck. "Yes, you've been a vampire since you were little, funny I have never seen one like you." The vampire came close. "Do I scare you?"
"No," he whispered. "I'm kind of looking for someone."
"Really, who?"
Omi felt his heart pounding as he said the words. "Naoe Nagi."
"I see," the vampire smiled. "I'm called Locke, come with me, that little feeder just arrived, I guess you heard how sweet his blood is, haven't you?"
"I suppose you could say that," he whispered and was led down to a lower level to the club.
**
Schuldich moved next to Crawford and whispered. "Are you sure sending him in was such a good idea?"
"Of course I think it is, Omi is the only one who could make it this far." Crawford looked over and saw the other Weiss getting prepared to go in. "Not so fast Aya."
Aya looked at him and then whispered something to Ken who nodded and went to tell Yohji. "Fine, but if something happens to Omi, you'll both pay."
Ken moved to the door without Weiss and Schwarz noticing he knocked on the door and entered. He saw other vampires looking at him and then one was circling him, she smiled at him and chuckled. "Well, what a pretty sight, a fledgling, where is your maker?" she snarled.
"In here, I'm looking for," he didn't have time to say anything when he felt someone moving holding him by the shoulders.
"Not wise to come around without your master," he heard a voice and turned to see a tall man with red eyes boring into his. He moved his hand down Ken's neck and moved it to the side.
"He belongs to me!" Ken was relieved to hear Omi's voice, of course he wasn't too happy to see Omi looking angry. "Give him here."
"Fine, full blood, you can have your little slut!" the tall vampire pushed Ken toward him and was looking stunned.
"You have no right to call him that!"
The vampire moved up to Omi and slapped him. "You're the one that is out of line, little vampire. You come here expecting us to respect you, you're more of a fledgling than he is."
He pulled Omi closer to him and chuckled. "You said you were looking for Naoe Nagi, I know where you can find the little treat. But your little fledgling will belong to me when I'm done."
"Ken-kun," Omi blinked and looked at him. "I told you I could handle this, why did you follow me in?"
"No, I will be fine," Ken tried to struggle as the vampire led the two of them to the lower levels of the club.
Looking around them the two saw missing kids from everywhere in Tokyo, all of them lying in what looked to be cages. "What is this?" Omi blinked.
"Mage's search for the Pure Bloods, he believes that the youngest hold it in their veins. Michinimayou Hiro said he found the pure blooded and had infected him. But of course we couldn't find this little vampire."
When they came to a cell, Omi stared in horror at seeing how pale and ill Nagi was, he was lying in a bed and looking as if he was paralyzed. "What have you done to him?"
"Just neutralized him, the drug only paralyzes the victim, usually he uses his powers to try and escape we doubled the dosage, he might be the one," the vampire laughed, as he took Ken and shoved him into an empty cell.
"What are you doing? He belongs to me!" Omi snarled only to be shoved into another cell. "I'm a vampire like you!"
"I can, because Mage said someone was after this boy you call Nagi. So you're the one, what did you say your name was, Michinimayou Mamoru?"
"So Schwarz is meeting us where?" came Yohji's voice as he walked downstairs with Omi who was looking around.
"The park," Omi shook his head as his gear was being placed in Aya's car. "Crawford doesn't want us fighting, but Aya-kun is bringing his gear too."
"Splendid, we have to work with our enemies just to get their brat back," the tall blond groaned as he put on his trench coat. "I don't like this."
"Neither do I, but we have to do it."
