Part 3 Mage

Locke smiled looking in on Ken who was lying in a cell, he knew that sun was rising and it was time to rest. "What are we going to do about them?"

Another vampire shrugged. "I don't know, but Mamoru is going to be staying here until Mage arrives." They looked over at a blond boy who was pale and was passed out in a cell.

"Right."

They walked off leaving the two of them alone. The blond boy, Omi opened his eyes and looked around. "Ken-kun!"

Ken made a gasp and looked around. "Omi, I feel sick."

"I know, hopefully Aya and the others will get in here."

**

Crawford dropped the news to Aya who seemed a little less than pleased with this turn of events. "We're going in," Aya brought out his katana and was suddenly held back by Schuldich and Yohji.

"It wouldn't be wise right now," Schuldich shook his head and whispered. "Give them another hour, the sun is rising now."

"And risk Omi and Ken being exposed to the sun?"

"It is a risk we will have to take," Crawford waited for an hour. He made a motion for Schuldich to get the car. "What of Nagi, can you inform him we're going to move in?"

"Nagi's out cold, I told Omi we're coming."

They came up to the club door and then went along the back finding a back door. "They said there is a stairs to a sort of crypt," Farfarello pulled out his knife picking the lock as it fell down to the ground. "Too easy."

**

Ken felt a stinging in his veins; he didn't realize he was hungry. He felt a strange purring at the back of his throat. He saw Omi looking up startled. "You didn't feed did you?"

"No, I didn't think I needed to, Omi," he whispered and then started to roll on his side and started to growl from his hunger. His heard a noise and looked up, his mind was wild with bloodlust.

Locke smiled when he walked back to the cells to inspect Ken. "So you're hungry, aren't you, pet?" He let out a low growl and Locke put his hand through the bars pulling him toward him. "Such a little beast." The vampire, Locke stroked Ken's head as he cut his wrist and pulled it to Ken's lips.

Omi stared at him and had a growl. "Don't!"

"Do you want him to starve?" the evil vampire stroked Ken's head and smiled at him. "Besides he belongs to m now."

Ken started to purr and his eyes opened and looked confused. "Omi."

Locke smiled and left Ken to sleep, he saw the boy going into a ball his head resting on a stone.

**

Getting into the club was hard, but it was easy, a little too easy. The two teams moved down to the crypt and saw that it was locked. Farfarello's abilities to pick locks was put to use and seemed rather good, walking into the stone room. They found hundreds of missing kids were kept in cells. "This is going to take longer, isn't it?" Schuldich whispered to Yohji. "We were here only for Nagi, but we surely can't leave them."

"No, I don't think we can," whispered Yohji who moved over and found Ken and Omi's cells. "They're here!"

Aya and Crawford moved to where they saw the two of them. "Omi," Aya shook the boy's shoulder and then saw Farfarello working on the lock.

"God would be weeping if he saw this, but vampires have gone too far, they hurt Nagi, he won't wake up," came the insane man's words as went to Nagi's cell.

Nagi gave a whimper as Yohji picked the boy up and then handed him to Schuldich. "He's lost a lot of blood," they heard Omi gasp. "Take.take him to the hospital."

"Easy Omi," Yohji was carrying Omi and taking him out of the cell. "We'll take you home."

"Ken-kun, please hurry, Locke fed him his blood and I don't know what is wrong."

Ken let out a snarl as his cell was opened and he was led out, he looked around in confusion as he was led away. "Ken-kun, calm down, its our friends."

He nodded silently falling Omi who was being carried to a car. "I'm hungry," he whispered as Omi was placed in Aya's car and squirmed from the heat of the sun. Ken sat in the back seat of Aya's car and blinked. "I'm hungry."

"I know, Ken-kun, but you have to wait."

"No wait, I want blood now!" Ken's voice was demanding as he went back into the club, that was when he found Locke who was glaring at the five holding Nagi.

"Ken, what is this?" Locke asked him and he shrugged. "I know what this is, they want to steal you from me, you don't want to go do you?"

"Ma..Master," Ken whimpered feeling confused and very hungry. "I'm hungry! I want blood now!"

"So you shall, Ken, so you shall," Locke laughed and led Ken who was pulled back by Farfarello and then growled hollowly at him. "I don't think he likes that."

"I don't care what he likes or doesn't, he's not a demon like you!" Farfarello drew his knife and leapt at Locke who laughed throwing him across the room.

"Stupid humans, aren't they, Ken?" He smiled and led Ken away back to his cell. After Ken was locked back in it. Locke turned and attacked this time most of Schwarz and Weiss were pretty much now facing other vampires. "It seems they are here to kill Master Mage and take his blood prince! Attack!"

The other vampires ran at them knocking them to ground, Aya slashed at one or two of them who were in pieces on the floor, that was when Crawford nodded and Schuldich and Farfarello attacked as he took Nagi to the car. "Don't let that one get away," Locke shouted, but the vampire didn't get very far as Farfarello slashed it up. "Such an odd human!"

Crawford made it out of the club and got Nagi to Aya's car. "Where is, Aya- kun," Omi asked in confusion.

"Backup plan," Crawford growled as he pulled away, and saw Aya and the rest running out and they got in the car.

"It worked, Crawford, but we lost Ken," Yohji whispered.

"We'll think about a backup latter, so far our employer wants these vampires out of the way, them taking Nagi has made us wanting to have a little fun," Schuldich growled touching Nagi's forehead. "Crawford, we better hurry, it seems whatever has caused Nagi to be out is getting worse."

"I'm aware of that, Schuldich, we're in the middle of morning traffic," the Oracle growled and then turned. "So far this idea has failed, Weiss."

**

Ken was purring again as Locke fed him again. "Shush," he smiled at the young vampire. "Such a small mind to use."

He unlocked the cell leading Ken into a bedroom and chuckled. "You belong to me, Ken, do you understand?"

The young vampire nodded his head and then looked around. "Where is Omi?"

"He has been kidnapped by humans, filithy creatures," he stroked Ken's hair and pushed Ken into his bed and smiled. "Time to sleep, it isn't safe for you to be in the cells anymore."

**

Omi gave an impatient glare at Aya who was staring at him. "I can't just stand by and let Ken be used by..by that cult!"

"You aren't going to get very far, Omi," Schuldich leaned against the wall. "It isn't like when fighting us. These vampires know you're a young one and they'll use Ken against us either way we move. So far Nagi is safe, but right now, these vampires are going to be worse. Even Eszet wouldn't consider these things tolerable."

"Funny you should say that," Yohji looked up and handed Schuldich a beer. "The vampires seemed really attached to Ken. I don't think Ken would be used by them, we're his friends."

"Do you remember what Omi was like when Crawford starved him for a week, he attacked Ken nearly killing him?" the German telepath shook his head and gave a sigh. "These vampires are trying to find something and I couldn't even figure out what they are looking for."

I know, Omi thought and then looked down. "You do?" He saw the surprised look on Schuldich's face. "You know?"

"They are searching for some supreme vampire, I'm not sure what they are talking about, but it seems it might either be me or possibly Ken-kun. They thought it was Nagi because of his powers."

"Now that is something, to think that Nagi would make a good vampire is totally stupid."

They heard a knock and saw Aya walking into the room. "Omi, you better get upstairs before the sun gets too intense. I don't know what more we can do right now? At least Nagi is safe at the hospital."

"Ken-kun," Omi looked depressed and was about to walk out when he saw Yohji looking at him telling him with his eyes that Ken was coming home soon.

**

Ken came back to himself and looked around him, he saw a room that was rather lavish and resembled a sort of fancy hotel. He looked at a mirror and saw his reflection and then saw a picture. He knew this picture; it was Yuriko and himself taken about year ago, but why would Locke have it? He looked around again this time he turned and saw Locke enter holding some clothes. "You are wondering why I have a picture of your Yuriko, I happen to be called Locke Thomas or Tom. Your little Yuriko and I are going to be getting married. Though I do have other plans, my little pet."

"What kind of plan?" Ken felt angry.

"Oh.you will see my pet, when you're hungry enough to not know what you're doing," he smiled and left him alone. "You should rest, after all my blood is going to make you sleepy."

Ken nodded as though he couldn't fight the control and passed out on the bed feeling the covers being pulled to his chin. "You're so pretty." The words were strange to him as he fell into a sleep.

**

Omi huddled in Ken's room pulling himself onto the bed and shivered feeling his fangs biting his lip. "I have to get you back, I can't be without you, Ken-kun," he muttered to himself as he started to cry.

"Omi," he heard Aya's voice as he knocked on the door. "Go to sleep, we'll worry about it tonight."
