*~*~*~

A dark figure appeared on the screen. "Weiss your mission is too hunt down this dangerous demon, Kagami. He assumes identities of others and kills only for enjoyment. Hunters of the night, hunt the dark beasts of tomorrow." The screen turns off and the lights are switched on.

The redhead woman stood in front of them, her arm crossed over her chest and seriousness glazing her eyes. "Do you accept the mission?"

"How can you even call this a mission? We don't have anything on him, even less a picture what the creep looks like?" Fumed a very pissed off Yohji. He hated when things weren't properly explained, and missions were no exception.

"So, is this your way in telling me you won't be involved in the mission?" she asked snidely.

Yohji frowned. "No, this is just my way in telling you we have nothing to go on."

Manx chuckled. "Well then I guess you'll have to use this for now." She tapped her head. "Instead of your dick."

Everyone just gaped at her.

"Well, I don't have all night. Either you're in or out."

Aya walked up to her. "Were in."

She smiled. "Good." She handed Aya a manila folder. "Here is just some of the recent crimes Kagami had committed." With that said she left.

Annoyed by Manx's behaviour, Yohji pulled out his pack of cigarettes and tugged one out, placing it in his mouth. "She's getting crueller every time." He muttered as he lit his cancer stick.

"That's just because you're getting unattractive every time, Yo-tan." Teased Ken from across the room.

Yohji glared at him.

"That's enough!" Aya's voice boomed through out the room.

"Aya-kun, please don't start." Pleaded Omi, his hand rubbing his temples.

"Hey, what's wrong bishounen?" Yohji asked concerned.

Omi smiled weakly. "It's nothing, just a headache."

Aya frowned. "You haven't fed yet, have you?"

Omi's head went down cast. "Iie, not yet. It's almost sunrise too…"

Aya's cold, pale hand grasped Omi's, pulling him up onto his feet and dragging him into his room.

Once they disappeared down in his room, Yohji turned to Ken. "What the hell happened tonight?" He demanded.

Ken looked at him startled. "What do you mean?

Green eyes narrowed. "You know what I mean! You and Omi earlier this evening, what happened."

At the mention of the honey haired boy's name, Ken averted his eyes down to the floor. "It was an accident…Aya made a mistake that's all…" He whispered, but Yohji could still hear him.

"What did Aya do?"

Ken swallowed. "It's not really my place to tell but you deserve to know." The brunette sighed. "Remember that last mission we had with the witch?"

Yohji nodded.

"Well, she kinda put a curse on Aya. His blood is tainted, for whoever drinks it becomes insane and ends up killing themselves or their creator, even sometimes turning into something more. Aya thought when we defeated her that the curse would be lifted. Not so, when he created Omi, Omi went insane and nearly killed himself, but yet, in some way Omi managed to regain control of his sanity."

"So, Aya's been cursed all this time?" he asked bewildered. "I can't believe it!"

"Believe it Yo-tan."

"But then…with you and Omi…?"

"He thought that this spell he used would lift it but wanted to test it, so he asked me. He explained everything to me before I made my choice. I fed from him. And both of us thought it worked that he wasn't cursed anymore. But today…it showed. And Omi was already use to his blood so he had to drain me and feed me, to get the tainted blood out." Ken sighed. "Do you understand?"

Yohji nodded. "Yeah. But I can't believe Aya would keep this a secret from us."

"He had his reasons, Yohji."

Aya held Omi, rocking the boy back and forth gently. The redhead just fed him, but the blood still had its effects on Omi's psyche. The boy was trembling and his breathing laboured. Aya could feel dawn was going to be upon them in less then an hour, he really didn't have much choice in feeding him. Omi gripped at Aya's shirt, mumbling incoherent words that he couldn't make out. Aya stroke the boy's hair soothingly, trying to calm him. He would have wept tears of blood for the suffering he had put this child through, but his tears ran dry centuries ago.

Omi's breathing was getting even again and his body went limp against Aya's. Sleep had claimed him. Omi was always the first to sleep because he was still young, but as the years progress he could sleep much later if he wished. Aya laid the boy gently on the bed, stroking his hair away from his face. He kissed Omi's forehead and he settled down behind him preparing to sleep too, it was going to be a long night tomorrow.
