Part 2

Hesitating Ryo switched off the light. Then he turned around to face Dee again. Strange, as he looked at him in only dim light, which still came through the window, Dee's face suddenly didn't appear so strange anymore. His eyes appeared to be normal again, too.

"Dee? What's the matter? Why did I have to switch off the light?" He looked at him anxiously. "Oh.I'm sorry Ryo.it was only because of this dazzling light.it's nothing, I'm only a bit confused..."

He had turned away his head, so that Ryo couldn't see his face, while he was speaking. Still Ryo watched him concerned. "Dee.please tell me what happened! I was so terribly worried about you." "Nothing happened.I just wanted to be alone for a day. " Dee still didn't look at him.

Ryo didn't understand it at all. This couldn't be Dee! Dee would have fallen around his neck, if he had told him, that he had been worried about him. Never would he have stayed away for a whole day, without sending a word. He really knew, that Ryo was terribly anxious! Something had to have happened!

"But Dee.", Ryo tried to demur and laid a hand on Dee's arm, but Dee cut him off. "I'm tired.I'm going home now, okay? I just wanted to tell you, that I'm back." Saying these words he opened the front door and vanished immediately, as if he had melted together with the shadows.

Ryo wasn't able to discover him anywhere. He switched on the light again and looked outside. There was no trace of Dee. Had this just now been reality or had he only dreamed it? It had appeared so.unreal. Just like.a nightmare.

---

In the next morning Ryo went to work as usual. He hadn't been able to sleep anymore last night and was extremely tired now, but he hoped to meet Dee at the police station. Indeed Dee was present, to give notice that he was back again.

He shortly greeted Ryo and even indicated a smile. For some strange reason he always turned away his head, whenever he spoke with somebody, or held a hand in front of his mouth, like the night before. Probably it hadn't really been a dream. He still was pale and had dark rings under his eyes, which he half shut most of the time, as if the sunlight was too bright for him.

Ryo decided, not to speak to him about this, just as he wouldn't say a word about the happenings of the last days and nights. After two hours Dee went home giving the reasons that he had an unbearable headache. Ryo's offer to take him home, was rejected, as was JJ's. Dee had explained to them just as little as he had to Ryo. ---

Shortly afterwards Dee had gone, JJ came to Ryo. "What's the matter with him? Did he tell you anything?" Ryo shook his head sadly. " No, I'm afraid not.if I just knew what happened.he is behaving so strangely..." "Yes, he is behaving extremely weird. ", JJ agreed.

"Oh, by the way, do you know what happened to those blackmailers? Did they question them already?" For some reason Ryo was pretty sure, that this case had to do something with Dee's disappearance and his strange behaviour. "I've told you already yesterday.you didn't listen to me at all!!!" JJ was rather angry. After all he had spent a whole hour yesterday, explaining to Ryo what the blackmailers had declared.

"Really.?" Ryo looked at him slightly embarrassed. "Could you tell me once more?" JJ sighed. "Well...okay. You are not the only one who has the suspicion that it has to do something with Dee's disappearance." Sometimes Ryo really was astonished at JJ's sagacity. How did he know about that?

"It was quite strange, they just couldn't explain at all, why they had blackmailed the company. It didn't seem as if they didn't want to. obviously they weren't able to! They appeared very confused. We also weren't able to find a leader. I'm starting to wonder if you perhaps were right with your observation about the blackmailer's leader. There's some hocus-pocus about it!" Ryo nodded. "Thank you, JJ. I totally agree with you."

---

After work he directly went to Dee's flat. Dee opened the door and even let him inside. The flat was darkened. Dee put up a few candles, thereby Ryo could see something. He, however, was in spite of the darkness moving totally sure of his aim. Ryo looked around insecurely. In the darkness everything seemed so uncanny. . Dee signed him wordlessly to sit and sat himself in about one meter away from him.

He watched the ground. "Why are you here?" "I want to know what happened. Don't tell me again it was nothing! I just know, that there happened something!!!" Ryo was rather desperate. He just didn't know, what he could do to help Dee. Dee simply avoided his questions, he seemed to slip away from him like a shadow.

"What do you think about vampires?" Ryo winced. Here in this dim light he certainly didn't want to speak about such creatures... "You know Dee.somehow they are uncanny to me. But why do you ask, they don't really exist, after all. I'm only interested in what happened to you really. Tell me.please."

In the dim light it seemed to Ryo as if Dee's expression became still more sadly. "I can't tell you Ryo, really!" Ryo pondered, then his eyes grew wide. "Why can't you.did you by chance.no that's impossible.did you get to know somebody else, who you are in love with? Is that why you stayed away from home and are you avoiding me for that reason?!?"

Ryo was frightened at himself. He hadn't want to get that loud, but when this thought had come to his mind. "No!!!" Dee had jumped from his seat. He looked at Ryo and the candlelight fell on his face.

"That isn't true, you have to believe me!" Suddenly Ryo starred at Dee terrified. In his irritation Dee had forgotten to cover his mouth, while he shouted. "D...Dee.your canine teeth..they are as long as those of a vampire!!! What did happen, Dee? Oh please, just tell me!"

"They are the canine teeth of a vampire.", Dee said in a low voice. Then he turned round and ran outside. Anew he seemed to melt together with the shadows. "Dee!!!" Ryo had run after him out off the flat, but Dee was nowhere to be seen any longer . What should he do now? He had to fetch back Dee without question!

But perhaps he should calm down first...slowly he regained his senses again. Thus Dee was a vampire now, so he.One moment! A vampire? There really was some hocus-pocus about it.that wasn't possible, was it? But for a joke this affair was too serious.this simply had to be a nightmare. It had to be!

---

At least he went home, laid a note for Bikky on the table, telling him that it could get late this evening and went to the hall, where the Halloween party had taken place. Slowly he entered. It wasn't locked, however he couldn't imagine, that anyone would have entered it in it's present condition. Now it looked so different.it seemed decayed, as if it hadn't been used for years.

But how was that possible? There reigned a faint dim-light, just as in Dee's flat and it lasted a while until he was able to see something. The hall flowed out an uncanny aura. Again it seemed to him as if shadows were whisking over the walls, but he wasn't able to see anyone, of whom those shadows could belong to.

He wondered if they could possibly come from vampires. He would have really loved to leave that hall again at once. Perhaps he should have taken somebody with him.but who would have believed him.? ... With a loud bang the door shut. He winced. For such thoughts it really was too late now. And besides, he was a cop, he was able to settle this alone!

On the walls of the hall there were little side entrances. He examined them closely, however he wasn't able to recognize where any of them lead. At least he simply took the one which was next to him. After a few steps however he already hit a wall.

Some bats flew up shrieking loudly. Obviously he had scared them. He turned around and went back. When he wanted to enter the hall again, however, he winced back alarmed. He leaned close to the wall, in order not to be seen. In the hall there were standing two figures. They were wearing long capes, however he wasn't able to distinguish any more.

"Did you notice? The new one has returned." "That was evident. At the beginning they all believe they can continue living among the humans, especially the half-vampires. Nobody has succeeded, however. They all came back after two or three days to our underworld. It doesn't work.the humans hate us. They reject us."

Ryo winced again, as a bat brushed him. "What was that? Did you hear it?" "Indeed.I think it came from over there. Do we have a visitor by chance?" One of the two figures turned round and went slowly towards the small side entrance, where Ryo was hidden. "Well, I say.a human."

Now Ryo could distinguish the creature's face. Indeed, it was a vampire. He had long dark hair, which almost reached his hips. He snow-white skin created an exceptionally sharp contrast to it. However his face was hollow and appeared tired, especially his eyes. Hesitating Ryo stepped forth.

"I'm sorry, I didn't intend to overhear your conversation.I'm only looking for somebody." Smirking the vampire came still nearer. Ryo receded. "Indeed? Perhaps for the immortality? I would love to give it to you..." Ryo receded even further. "No...certainly not! I'm looking for Dee Layton, do you know him by chance?"

"Maybe.what's your name, by the way?" He continued to smirk. Now the other vampire came nearer, too. "Obscur, really, don't frighten him like that." He looked at him reprovingly. "But I'm hungry!" Obscur defended himself. "You ate something only two days ago, do you remember? It really isn't necessary that often! People would notice."

The other vampire had white hair, white skin, which was almost of the same colour as his hair and narrow black eyes. He face still wasn't as hollow as Obscur's, it also didn't appear so tired. He looked at Ryo friendly. "What's your name?" "Ryo", he answered to his own astonishment. Why did he tell him his Japanese name? "How beautiful. My name is Kyuketsuki." "That's Japanese, too!" Ryo was surprised.

Kyuketsuki only nodded, then he pondered. "Dee...wasn't the one, you bit two days ago, named like that, Obscur?" "Yes, indeed.but he teared off himself quickly.he is rather strong. I think he only became an half- vampire.actual he wasn't to turn into a vampire at all, he doesn't deserve it."

Ryo looked at him furiously. "How dare you! Did you ever think of that there could be someone who would miss him?!?" Surprised Obscur lifted his eyebrows. "Then you're really looking for him? That's really impressing. It only happens some every three hundred years, that a human comes up to us, to look for a missing one.the most stay.as vampires."

Ryo receded a bit further again. Dee was in their underworld? How should he find him there? "Could you.could you take me to him? Without biting me, if possible?" Obscur looked at him with glittering eyes. "You're imagining this too easy. Humans aren't very popular in our world.except as food of course.not all vampires are as friendly as Kyuketsuki!"

Kyuketsuki nodded. "I'm afraid, that's true, I'm sorry. But at least I will show you the entrance." He turned to a exit at the end of the hall. "Only somebody who knows, what lies behind, can go through it. You know it, now. Try your luck, if you want to." Speaking those words Kyuketsuki and the slightly furious Obscur vanished through the exit.

Ryo pondered. Somehow everything here was so absurd. Really, like a nightmare! If he only was able to wake up! But unfortunately obviously it wasn't a dream. They had mentioned, that Dee was only an half-vampire.he wondered what that meant. And that he didn't deserve to be a vampire.why? Kyuketsuki seemed to be rather friendly by all means, Obscur, however, seemed to have a great aversion against humans.like most of the vampires, from what he was told.

Had this to do something with the extortion? Gradually he became sure, that the vampires were involved in this. But why? At least he decided to enter the hidden entrance. He hoped, that Bikky wouldn't be worried, he would certainly think, that he was engaged with a new case, what somehow was actual true.

And .he had to find Dee, without fail. It was only his fault, that Dee had run away, when he had seen his vampire teeth. Only because he had said, that he thought those creatures were uncanny. . Besides he was terribly missing him. He stepped into the entrance. Suddenly everything became black and he fell to the ground.

TBC!^^ The name "Obscur" I have taken from the latin word "obscurus", which means "dark" or "hidden". And "Kyuketsuki" is Japanese and means "vampire". Please tell me what you think about this part!!! love, Lichtelfe^^
