(Alright, this story is getting kind of weird, and I'm almost done.)

Part 8 Ken's Betrayal

Ken woke that night panting, he felt his fangs piercing his lip, it was like a burning in his veins. He noticed that someone else was in the bed with him, he looked over at a small mop of blond hair snuggled against his chest. He smiled a little and then whispered. "Omi, its time to wake up, the sun just set."

Omi opened his eyes and yawned, sitting up slowly. "Just a few more minutes, Ken-kun," he whispered.

"No, we have a mission."

**

Schuldich looked in on Nagi and sat down next to the boy who was looking at the ceiling. "How are you doing kido?" He smiled holding up a magazine. "This came for you in the mail, thought you'd like it.

Nagi reached up for it and yawned. "I want to go home."

"I know, but right now just stay in bed," the telepath smiled. "Tot called, that little bitch won't leave you alone."

"You didn't call her that to her face did you?" Nagi sat up looking angry.

"Of course not, Crawford was right there, what kind of person do you take me for besides some self centered asshole?"

The boy stayed silent, Schuldich knew what the kid thought about him. Schwarz was so unbalanced based on trust; in fact none of the team trusted each other. Nagi especially didn't trust Crawford or him. It wasn't really the boy's fault, after all being raped by his own teammates made Nagi uncomfortable around them.

**

Aya could hear voices in the hall, he knew that Ken and Omi were up and Ken was feeding the boy. He walked into the hall and was dressed in his gear, he saw Yohji adjusting his hair, out of all the people Aya knew, Yohji was the vain one, Omi was the caring, and Ken was the goofy one who knew when to take a fall.

None of them will ever know, he thought to himself and walked into the living room to find his shoes. He knew what was going to be done, extermination of the vampires. He saw Omi and Ken walking side by side. He didn't really want to tell the two of them what was going to happen.

"What is the mission about?" Ken asked as he walked up to get his jacket

"We're taking care of Locke."

**

Locke made sure the nurses were away long enough for him and his group to sneak into the room. He smiled down at the sleeping boy; Nagi was so pretty in his sleep. Makes me sick that you're human, he thought carrying the boy out of the room.

"Master Locke," a British vampire blinked. "Are we ready?"

"We're ready," he smiled looking down at Nagi and chuckled.

**

Omi could smell blood in the room, he saw Aya leaving the bathroom before leaving to get in the car. "Aya-kun, are you okay?" Aya just blinked at him and then drove away.

No answer? Omi thought to himself sadly and then looked out the window, he heard Ken complaining about this. "I think we need to wait for Manx."

"Manx already made arrangements while you've been sleeping," Yohji said softly and looked at the quiet leader, he knew something was wrong. "Are you sure you're up for this, Aya?"

The leader stayed quiet as he drove without looking at his team again. "It's none of your business!"

The words were harsh, though his team was used to him being like this. He coughed and tried to hide it from Omi, but it was kind of hard since the little guy was sitting in the passenger seat next to him. "Aya-kun?"

"Omi, you better be ready tonight. We got word that Locke has kidnapped Nagi again." Yohji covered for him and blink.

"Nagi-kun? Again?" the young vampire blinked and looked at Ken who was looking out the window.

**

Schuldich slammed the door behind him as he walked into the Crawford's office. "You knew! Don't lie to me! I know you know! Where the hell is Nagi?"
"Don't sound so concerned, Schuldich," Crawford sounded perfectly calm. "Besides as soon as we get Nagi back, Ken and Omi will be next."

"Oh? So you're just going to let some vampire stick his fangs in Nagi's neck?" Something about this sounded completely unlike Schuldich, of course when it came to vampires, he wasn't about to let anyone suffer the way his family had. "Listen to yourself, the Crawford I knew wouldn't allow some vampires to take his team out!"

Crawford stood up and looked squarely into Schuldich's eyes. "I know about your past with the vampires, Schuldich. If you know what is good for you, you'd keep your mouth shut. We're just going to kill two birds with one stone, Ken or Omi will lose control tonight and we'll have to clean up Weiss's little mess."

Schuldich only smiled this time he just turned. "Well, if you put it that way, it doesn't sound half bad, but what if Nagi's a vampire?"

"If he is, we'll kill him."

"A bastard like you should never procreate!"

**

Nagi stirred from a long sleep and looked around him, he was in a well furnished room that was almost Victorian in style. He sat up and found he was dressed in white pajamas. "I am I home?" he said a loud and walked around the room, he couldn't have been home, his room was layered with technical journals, books, computers, anything for a technologically advanced teen like him.

He walked around the room and then looked at some the clothes in a dresser next to his bed. This was like a dream come true to him, he thought he was dreaming about a family like when he was younger.

He saw a door open and saw the vampire who had lured him to the club only a few days prior. "You're awake, how lovely. I do apologize for your treatment before, little Nagi," the vampire smiled at him. "Permit me to introduce myself, I am Thomas Locke."

"I know who you are, Locke, I want to go home now!" Nagi glared at him as he was about to use his powers and found that he was put back into his bed.

"I am afraid I cannot do that, the ceremony hasn't started yet."

Ceremony? That word brought back a memory, he remembered seeing Aya's sister lying on a bed and he was forced to watch as Schuldich drugged Sakura. "I won't be part of it!" He screamed as the vampire smiled coming closer.

"I do apologize, Nagi, but without a lure, I can't get my real target."

**

The vampire club stood empty now, Ken and Omi looked around the empty building. "They left?" Omi blinked and then saw a small letter hanging on a mirror. "Its to us, Ken-kun."

Omi and Ken,

I do apologize for doing this, but it was necessary for us the vampires to leave this part of the city. I do wish I could have brought you, Omi with me, but I suppose you are still in love with the idea of becoming human again. I hope this letter assures you that Locke was acting of his own accord. I apologize to Weiss and Schwarz that I did not act fast enough to stop this.

Josaf S. Mage

"See Aya-kun, I told you that Mage-sama wasn't involved, it was all Locke," Omi said looking around the club.

Yohji had gone to the basement and looked around. "The holding cells are all empty. There isn't a trace of the vampires."

"What do you expect?" a soft voice said and they turned to see Schuldich, Mastermind of Schwarz standing at the door. "Vampires move from place to place, they don't stay in an area long enough to be noticed. The raid on this place scared them, so they left. Pretty smart if you ask me."

"What do you want, Mastermind!?" Aya yelled.

"Is that anyway to greet someone who is trying to help," the orange haired telepath grinned and leaned against the door frame.

"Your way of helping is a little scary," Yohji responded.

"I'm hurt, and here I was going to warn you about something."

"How do we know it isn't a lie?" Ken spoke up as he looked at Schuldich who turned to face him.

"Don't be so fast, Siberian to judge me; I haven't lied to anyone really. I have stretched some things, but as far as I know, I haven't told a boldfaced lie yet."
Ken went silent as Schuldich went on. "So far, Crawford had a vision, one of your vampires are going to go insane and betray you. I just hope it doesn't happen. I personally I don't want to stake him." He turned and walked off. "By the way, if you're looking for Locke he's at a mansion, you might remember it as our old house, Ken, Omi."

"Should we trust him?" Omi asked quietly.

"Schuldich hasn't lied to anyone really, it isn't his style," Yohji looked outside. "So I doubt he has any reason to lie to us."

"You don't think he's going to try and kill us?" Ken asked doubtfully.

"There is always the possibility, he knows that Aya will rush into battle without a real plan."

Aya glared at the tall blond and then at Omi. "It's up to you, Omi. You're the vampire."

The youngest member blinked and moved to Ken. "I think we should go through with it."

**

Locke smiled as he bit into Nagi's neck, the boy struggled vainly to get away from him, his immortal powers made the boy almost powerless. He heard the strong heart beat come to a frantic pulse. "Easy little thing, not yet," he smiled as he laid the boy down on the bed. "I can't have Ken's meal running off. After all, he needs to taste innocent blood."

**

Schuldich looked at the old mansion by the sea, he liked this hideout more than the newer one. He looked over at Crawford who sat in his car looking at him. "They are coming?"

"You know they are. Locke has a strong hold on Ken," the telepath growled showing that he didn't like this plan.

"Come now, Schuldich, the plan is working out fine."

"Really? How is it though that you're using Nagi as the bait? Even a vampire hunter knows better."

"I don't need to know that your father was a vampire hunter, I have heard it all before. Has Farfarello located Nagi?"

"No!"

They turned and saw Aya's car pulling up the dirt road. "Right on time."

**

This is too easy, Omi blinked as they walked into the front gates. "There aren't any guards."

"Of course not," Ken whispered, "Sun rise in an hour, I can feel it." He led them into the front hall.

"Don't worry, we'll be out of here in no time," Yohji brought out the wires. "There are traps around here."

A loud crash was heard as they turned around in a large hall and saw they were surrounded. Ken was looking confused as one of the vampires pulled him from the group and into an office. "Good boy, Ken," Locke smiled and looked into his eyes. "You did just as I thought you would."

"What are you talking about?" Ken growled and felt Locke's hand on his throat and his eyes started to close. "Master." He felt himself start to purr with the fell of Locke's fingers.

"That's right; you belong to me and me alone," The vampire smiled at the younger one. "Time to show your loyalty."

**

Ken-kun, how could you! Omi's eyes flashed from gold to blue again then back. "Ken-kun!"

The cell the rest of Weiss was put in was dark. This must have been Farfarello's old cell, he thought and licked his lips. The blood lust was coming into play soon, he knew that the sun was going to be rising and that he was going to have to sleep soon. And when he woke that evening he was going to be starving. "Aya-kun, its almost morning."

"I know, Omi," Aya put his trench coat over the little vampire. "Just sleep."

"When I wake in the evening I'll want your blood, please, if that happens kill me."

"I would never do that, Omi."
Omi smelled the fresh dew of the morning and curled into a ball at the darkest point of the cell and felt the coat going over his head.

**

Ken curled up in a bedroom that was bear and pulled his jacket closer to him. Omi, please save me, he thought as he fell asleep.

**

"We're ready," Schuldich announced as he brought out the hunting supplies. "I don't really think it is really.." He never finished when he saw Crawford standing before him.

"We have to do this."
