What is Father planning to do..? Why would he… Why does he hate all of humanity? I understand humans have their faults… Humans have their moments of destructive impulses… But they cannot harm us so severely that we must wage war upon their kind… It is unheard of. Father wishes to begin a revolution of evolution… but all he will cause is the increase in blood that is already tarnishing the sacred ground.
I cannot permit him to commit such acts… I must find my grandfather and tell him of what my father plans to do… He must-
D stopped his thoughts suddenly and then looked frantically around. He felt the presence of his father close to him, in his shop… It was coming closer…
He jumped from the sofa and ran to the door where it was coming from, ripping it open to reveal a long and dark, misted hallway. Nothing. His mismatched eyes scanned the area or any sign of life in the dimly lit place, but found none. The presence seemed to change into something… An energy that felt much more… familiar and close. Too close… D swallowed a lump in his throat and refused to be caught off guard. He sat himself back on his sofa, sitting patiently and quietly, waiting for the unexpected.
Count D couldn't help himself as he lifted himself suddenly from his sofa and grabbed the pouch that hung idly from the coat rack next to the door. He grasped the door handle and prepared to run outside… But he stopped and looked down at his hand. Nothing was going to happen, was it? His father wouldn't be able to locate Leon and Chris, after all, their apartment was a good forty minute drive from the shop… Unless… No, no, no… D attempted to calm himself all at once and tried his best to keep his mind clear.
He knew it was his duty to stay at the shop and watch it… But what was more important? Duty to his Grandfather is protecting his shop and all the inhabitants within safe or keeping two humans that he liked very dearly safe..? And these two humans meant very much to him, though sometimes he would have trouble admitting himself.
He felt the aura again and snapped around to see to whom it belonged.
T-Chan. His friend. His pet. His companion… There was no reason for unnecessary panic…
"Good to see you as well, Count." T-Chan said, bowing sarcastically at the man's odd way of greeting him. "What's the fuss?" He continued.
"T-Chan, an I worrying too much? Leon and his little brother will be fine, won't they?" He asked, jumping right to the point. He let out a breath while looking at T-Chan who had settled himself on the spot where Count D has previously been sitting.
"D, listen up, I'm worried about them as well, but it would be three o'clock in the morning, going over to their apartment now would result in more trouble than good." T-Chan replied simply, drawing out a large yawn at the end of his statement.
"But T-Chan what if they're not there and my father, well… Let us not jinx the possibilities…" He mumbled, looking away and nervously brushing his robe free of wrinkles. He cleared his throat and sat down on the floor, still smoothing his robe out. T-Chan grinned to himself and jumped from the sofa, drawing closer to D. He kept his gaze at the floor, trying to think of what was wrong… Something was deathly wrong with T-Chan… The thought ached his brain as he thought more and more about it, yet he could find no reasonable answer as to what it was… He could not clear his thoughts at all. Something was clouding it… Something…
"Poor, Count D… Why are you worrying so much about those two humans… They can take care of themselves…" He said, in front of the Count. He smiled, bearing his white teeth in a grin. He waited for a few moments, waiting for an attempted reply by the Count. He frowned and held back a snarl when D did not answer him; his patience was growing thin. He needed a way to lure D in… Comfort him… He leaned in and lifted a hand to D's face, forcing him gently to look up into his face. He made sure that they held eye contact.
"Come now, D… Relax…" He said smoothly, fingers moving back to place D's hair behind his ear. His nails pressed into the white skin, not hard enough to make red marks, but enough so that their presence was known. Count D's eyes shifted uncomfortably, searching Totetsu's face for something hidden… T-Chan smiled smugly and ran his fingers over D's face again, this time softer so that it sent an eerie chill down his spine. T-Chan leaned his face in closer so that their lips were seconds apart.
"Remember my human form… You liked it didn't you? I could do it again…" He whispered. D looked away, biting the bottom of his lip… His breath caught in his chest. He couldn't think… What was wrong, what was wrong, what was wrong? He looked up to see Wong sitting in front of him this time. His breath hit D's face and his eyes stared lustfully at him… He raised both hands to D's face, cradling it softly. They slowly crawled down to dig their fingers soothingly into his shoulders and neck.
He firmly forced D on to the ground and straddled his waist, leaning in, with his elbow by D's head in a fast movement. He kept the gaze the entire time, black eyes burning into D's eyes. The black hair that covered part of D's face was back now and he couldn't help the feeling of growing vulnerability, he tried once more to cleanse his thoughts and try to realize what was going on but his mind continued to grow more unclear with each passing second.
"Just like last time… Right, D?" He mumbled closing the space between them, nearly touching his lips to the Count's.
"Except this time…" D smiled, sliding his hands down Totetsu's sides and into his robe.
"There's no Leon here to ruin the occasion." Totestu grinned, finishing the sentence, losing himself in the moment.
"Oh, you would love to believe that wouldn't you?" D mused, he suddenly brought down his hand swiftly. The face of T-Chan was covered in an amused confusion as it rolled from his body and thudded on the ground. Blood poured onto Count D, covering his entire front. He coughed the blood that had flowed into his mouth and wiped it from his eyes. He stood slowly and looked down at the severed body with a fury in his face.
"Never have you been so low, Father, never…" He hissed. He dropped the butcher knife from his bloodied hand. He then fell to his knees and sobbed, face into the back of the slain body. He felt the blood drying and hardening around him. His skin felt stretched and constrained. He heard soft footsteps behind him and he snapped his head around, sadness vanishing into a fury once more until they saw the new comer. They widened with unbearable relief and terror.
"Wh-what have you done to me?" It barely managed to ask.
