Part 4
Shame of the Bliss
Omi woke shaky and very hungry; his heart was pounding in his ears. He looked around and saw that his ankle was still chained to the bed post. He felt weak and drained of energy, his breathing was terribly labored.
/Don't worry little pet, only a little death, / a thought was singing inside his head, he looked around for a mirror and found a shattered one in a corner. He looked into one of the pieces and saw two nasty gashes on his neck. His memory was sort of fuzzy on how he came to be in this room and how the wounds were there.
He looked down at his skinny form in the mirror and realized he was totally naked. He covered himself in a blanket and sat on the bed calmly, not sure what was going to happen.
The door opened and Omi stared up at Cain with dark eyes, he was confused. "Hello little Angel," he smiled and sat down on the bed, his hands slowly moving onto the boy's bare shoulders. "Such a lovely sight, aren't you? A little prince who has been locked in a fairy tale."
"Can I go home?" Omi asked softly as the vampire stroked his shoulder.
"Not yet, little prince, I have a gift to give you first."
**
Shido looked rather bothered by the Weiss's insistence to help him find Omi; he knew that Yohji was still mad at him. "I can find Omi without the Weiss, Yohji," he whispered and looked rather nervously at Riho was standing behind him. "It is far more dangerous with you three coming along."
"We have a right to be there when Omi is found," Ken chimed in as he put on his bucknucks. "If anyone hurts Omi, they'll pay."
Hopefully Cain won't attack you first, Shido thought and walked out of his office, he knew that Cain would surely show himself with Omi, though he wasn't sure if Omi would still be human. Cain is vain, he'll turn a child into a vampire as long as they are pretty enough he thought and looked out the window of his office.
**
Omi whimpered as Cain held him feeding softly on the human boy who had fought at first, then very slowly went limp. He stroked the boy's hair and kissed him again, this time he made sure to prick his tongue and force a little of his blood into the boy's mouth.
It was clear what he wanted, he wanted to turn Omi slowly, to make the change beautiful and painless. He smiled as a rather odd sound came from the back of Omi's throat a sort of purring noise a cat would make. "You're almost ready, Omi, my little prince, though I think Omi doesn't suit you. How about Angel? You like that name don't you?" he whispered into Omi's right ear and smiled as he moaned.
Soon, the thought was almost too much to pass up, little Omi would have more discipline than Shido had, he would make sure that the boy knew who was master. He stroked the boy's hair and left him to rest.
**
Crawford wasn't pleased with the results; he knew that NOS had messed up. He requested the files pertaining to the Weiss member that was suppose to be held there. Yayoi was willing to supply with the information on the Night Breed and what rooms Omi had been kept in. "So far you have muddled it," Crawford had said to the head of NOS.
The head stared at him in shock and gave a look at Yayoi. "I told you, Mr. Crawford, those files were deemed classified."
"Classified? Seems you held Mr. Tsukiyono here against his will, even when the doctors said that he was well enough to leave. What is so special about Omi?"
The head of the department gave a look then whispered. "It had something to do with the Golden Dawn. It seemed that Tsukiyono was able to sense the Night Breeds. We thought it could be genetic."
"Strange, looks like Omi is a normal teenager to me, now that he is missing, I am beginning to question your competence on this issue. And also on how you plan on finding the boy!"
This was scaring the head who was looking as if he was going to be sick at any minute. "You have got to be joking."
"Do you know whose son was kidnapped? Takatori Reiji's son, he was going under a different name, but isn't part of your funding from the Takatori family? I wonder how the elder Takatori would take it, finding that his grandson is missing after all these years?"
"We'll get right on it, Mr. Crawford, I had no idea," the man sputtered and handed the classified files back to Crawford who nodded and walked out of the building.
"Next time I need to get more research done, Crawford, do you mind if I call you?" Yayoi whispered to him as they went to the car.
"I would rather you didn't. I just used that as an excuse to get some sensitive files from those idiots. You just need to scare them, the threat of telling the elder Takatori of this would make them turn green and give you just about anything."
"Need to use that for vacation time," she laughed. "I hope this helps you."
"I do need to know one thing, what is the Golden Dawn, it's mentioned in here, but it doesn't tell me what it is?"
Yayoi looked thoughtful. "Strange, I heard it before; I think it is about some kind of killing off humans so that the breeds can live in the sunlight."
Crawford nodded silently. "Thank you, Ms. Matsunaga, but I will take care of the rest."
**
Schuldich sat in Shido's office and looked around the place. He had no idea that Yohji and Shido were enemies, worse than he was to the tall blond. "So this is your office? Strange place, I would have thought a vampire like your self would be in a moorage."
"How did you know? Silly question coming from me since I told already that you were a telepath." Shido looked up as Riho brought in some tea for them and set it on his desk. "Thank you Riho."
"She's a bit young," Schuldich looked at the tea and sighed. "Though I'm not protesting about her age."
"She made her choice, Schuldich that is all you need to worry about. Why is Schwarz paying me a visit, I was not aware that Esset had interests in Night Breeds?"
The German assassin smiled and then looked at his watch. "Crawford said he had some information for you. He told me that he was going to ask you about the Golden Dawn. It seems that little Omi is going to be part of it pretty soon."
Shido went quiet and then looked at the door as someone knocked on it. "I see your friend is here," he walked up to the door and Crawford walked in.
"That was a waste of time, NOS was pretty antsy about this stuff, so I have to give it back before they realize I tricked them." Crawford handed a file to Shido who flipped through this. "Most of it was because they thought they could use the Weiss to wipe out Night Breed because Omi is able to sense them."
"Makes sense, though there hasn't been a Night Breeder hunter in a thousand years. Even if there were now, the person would be detained by them and slaughtered without a second thought. Night Breeds are pretty easily tipped off by the gifts; they could sense it when one is born."
"Explains the little guy's kidnapping." Schuldich said softly and then crossed his arms. "Seems the Weiss are going to have their arms full."
"Not really, the creature who kidnapped Omi wasn't a Night Breed, it was a vampire. Vampires are relatively neutral, but if the Breeds make an offer a vampire can't refuse, then Weiss will be in worse trouble. Vampires have relatively nasty tempers and they can kill the person they kidnap if they feel threatened."
"Sounds like Farfarello when we forget to give him his meds," Crawford gave a whistle. "Schwarz has done their part, we have no part in this."
"Actually Crawford, you might not want to hear what the Night Breeds have in mind."
**
Breath, the thought made Omi scream, he looked around the room and found that he wasn't in the place he intended to be. He felt for his clothes, but still he was undressed and he moved to where his body was unseen by prying eyes. "Hello, Angel," he heard the voice and turned to see the vampire staring at him.
Omi's eyes were wide and scared, he wanted to go home, he didn't know what was happening to his body, it was burning. "What is happening to me?"
"A lovely change, look how pretty you've become," the vampire brought Omi to the shattered mirror and presented him, moving his fingers down his shoulder. "Such a lovely child, forevermore." His skin was pale, almost like white plaster, his eyes were bright almost an endless pool of blue paint that seemed to beckon him.
Looking up at the vampire he wanted to scream, but his voice didn't work. "Hush little Angel, when it is over you will be my prince and you'll leave with me."
Shaking Omi felt his lips being forced open and something warm forced into his mouth, it was a cup full of something red and rather soupy. Omi knew it was blood; he tasted his own enough times to know its taste. He struggled and tried to stop himself from drinking it, but inside him a heat was building up, a burning in his veins. "That's it, very good, drink, my little Prince, my Angel."
Pulling away, Omi was breathing hard, but the vampire, Omi knew his name and muttered it under his breath. Cain smiled at him and pulled him up. "Did I tell you to stop? You need to know who the parent is and who the child is!"
"Gomen!" Omi whimpered as he was pushed back into the bed and Cain pinned him down. "No, please."
"Hush, no harm, my little prince, I wouldn't want you to recent me. You are my replacement for Shido," Cain kissed Omi's forehead and got up, he left the room and locked the door behind him.
Omi lay there on the bed, his body purring as the unnatural heat spread through his veins causing his body to spasm. He opened his eyes and strange feeling of pleasure crept through him, he never felt anything like it. What is wrong with me?
He felt a strange transformation in his mouth, a piercing pains on his lower lip, he reached up and touched the two sharpened teeth. Fangs, I have fangs, what's happening to me?
**
Ken felt his temper flare when Shido walked in and handed the files to Aya who glared at him and then went to work on the computer. "So far, all I need to tell you is that Schwarz has support of this, but the person who kidnapped Omi is someone I know personally and I object to you being involved, if Cain in anyway feels threatened Omi will be killed. Cain is that dangerous and even assassins can't kill him," Shido sighed and looked rather tired.
"So what you're saying is that you had dealings with this Cain," Yohji blinked. "Explains why you don't move about in the sunlight."
"So you caught on or did Schuldich tell you?"
"Both, I figured it out about a month ago when you told me that Omi lost some blood and I saw the strange punctures in his neck."
"I see, I meant no harm to Omi, it was the only way I could get the Night Breed out of him. I had no intention for Cain, my maker to take him from you."
Yohji sighed and then looked at him. "I'm past blaming you for this, I just want Omi back."
"I did have an encounter with Cain after Omi was kidnapped, he was thinking about making Omi join in the Golden Dawn."
Aya slammed his fist in the wall and glared at Shido. "What the hell does that mean?"
"It means that Cain has the intention of turning Omi into a vampire. Cain is vain, he'll go for anything beautiful and he seems to think Omi adorable," the vampire sighed and shook his head. "And I hate to say it; I used to be just like him."
**
Cain smiled the next evening as he clothed Omi in dark colors, he made the boy look so much younger, he was like a doll to him. He put the white dress shirt on him buttoning it up and hung a nice tie, taking the black dress pants he made the boy look some much like a child of a different time period. The waist coat fit him perfectly and his hair was brushed which made the hair full and thick. "Look at yourself," he marveled and allowed him to move to where he saw the mirror. "The most beautiful creature I have ever laid my eyes upon."
Omi reached up to the mirror and looked into it and smiled, his mind was that of a nine year old child, he blushed feeling his eyes travel over the curves of his form in the mirror that had since been replaced and made anew. He giggled and turned looking into it. "Father," he ran and hugged Cain, in much the sense he thought it was his father from the past he was hugging.
"Yes, my darling angel," the vampire chuckled; Cain had long since wanted a devoted child, a child who didn't question him. "Shall we go, Angel, it is time to hunt."
Omi nodded feeling the pain of his newly grown fangs pressing into his lip. "Hungry, Father why does it burn inside?"
"It burns because your body hasn't fed, you need blood. And I will teach you."
They walked out of the old house and into the streets, the newly made vampire Omi giggled and marveled at what Cain was teaching him. He showed his fangs and looked around at the people.
Entering an alley, Omi looked around, he heard the sounds, but his vampire senses were accustomed to the sounds of people breathing. He found himself among the homeless, the lesser known people of Tokyo. "Sad, isn't it, my child?" he heard Cain looking around. "You will never know this, will you?"
"No, I won't," Omi whispered and felt something about this wasn't right, his mind flew to people, more like shadows he barely recognized. He saw a man with brown hair hugging him holding up some flowers. His mind flew to his hunger and he found himself against the wall as a man with a knife pushed him against the wall.
"Money, now, pretty boy," the words were harsh and forced; the little vampire looked around for Cain. /Don't worry, little one, you know what to do, he is your food! / He smiled as his mind flew to the man holding him trying to rip open his shirt. "Come on, where is the money, rich boy!"
There was flash of red and Omi found himself holding the would-be thief, his lips pulling at the flesh trying to suck more blood in. He dropped the human carelessly on the ground and looked rather nervously around him. "Father?" he looked around and saw Cain leaning against the wall. The vampire walked toward him and pushed him against the wall kissing him, his mind was fluttering. Father must love me, if he does this, he thought and allowed it.
Cain broke the kiss and stood back. "Good boy, not bad for your first kill. You are so precious!"
Returning home, Omi caught the faint scent of something very strange. "Father, someone is here," he looked up at Cain who led him into the house and into the parlor.
"Stay here," Cain told him and he nodded not sure what was going on.
**
The old house must have been around along time, thought Ken as he was led inside of it, the place was falling apart. He saw Omi sitting down in the parlor, but the boy looked totally different. His clothes looked like they were formal, that he was some rich aristocrat from another time. "Omi!" He ran into the parlor and looked at him. "Its me, Ken."
"Are you a friend of father's?" Omi blinked in confusion looking up at him with giant blue eyes that seemed to be pulling him in. "Why do you call me Omi?"
"What are you talking about? Omi is your name," Ken blinked at his friend in disbelief.
"My name is Angel," Omi growled, he turned away. "If you are not a friend of father's I kindly ask you to leave!"
This was strange. "Please, you have to listen to me, Omi, I mean Angel. This guy you call father isn't your father."
"Yes he is."
This hurt, Ken thought as he walked over to the rest of the group and saw that Omi was following him out of the parlor into the hall. They turned to see him and then he slowly spoke. "Father said that I need to lead you to his office," he whispered leading them to a rather small room near the stairs.
Aya blinked at the way Omi was acting, "Don't know who we are?"
"No, I do not, Father would never allow me to be around humans," the boy responded looking at them and then pointed at the room. "He's in there."
Shido slowly whispered to Ken. "Omi doesn't know who he is, so we play along until we get him out of here. How far into vampirism Omi is I don't know."
"He's already made his first kill tonight, so far he has lost his memory," the older vampire smiled at them and sat down. "Don't you like the way he is, Shido, so loyal, my little pet. A son who doesn't disobey, does what he is told."
"You've enslaved him!" Ken growled. "I want him back the way he was!"
"Even if it were possible, Angel is mine, now and forever. I can't leave him, after all his mortal father disowned him, hated him, I gave him acceptance. He will witness the Golden Dawn and it will be an honor to keep him from slaying Breeds."
"So that was the offer?" Shido hissed. "You couldn't have me, so you took Omi from his friends and family."
"You call these three family? The one called Aya ignored him, he never gave Omi advice about his maturity. The one, Yohji teased him about how he looked like a girl and should find a girlfriend. Then the one Ken, he believed that Omi was a child, too innocent to know the real feelings he felt for Ken, the Weiss I saw in his mind were the real prison."
Aya glared at him. "Omi never came forward when he was going through puberty, I gave him advice on how to handle it. His emotions even now are more confused then they were at fifteen."
"I only tease Omi because he knows I'm kidding. He had a great girlfriend once, I lay off on the dating jokes because I know he's still sensitive about it. To say we do not care about him is a lie. We were with him when he got mono, we held him down when he had to have shots. We put up with teenage mood swings more often than you could."
Ken was silent his eyes still on Omi who was standing in the hall listening to this. "I had no idea that Omi felt that way toward me. I always thought he was my little brother, he is innocent, he is naïve, in many ways he's still a child, he knows that and he relishes his youth and that maybe he will never have to be an assassin again. I just want him back!" He walked into the hall and looked at the boy staring at him. "You don't remember anything."
Omi nodded his head and then whispered. "I remember flowers, lots of them. I was surrounded by flowers."
"That was the flower shop," Ken told him. "Please you have to remember the freesia, it was your favorite. You used to stare at it, yellow was always so pretty to you."
The boy backed away from him. "No.I don't want to," he ran to Cain who held him. "Father make them go away."
"Very well." Cain smiled at Omi and led him out of the room and down to a hidden staircase. "You have tired my child enough for tonight, now leave!"
Ken watched Omi leave his heart felt heavy and he knew that something about what he said scared him.
Shame of the Bliss
Omi woke shaky and very hungry; his heart was pounding in his ears. He looked around and saw that his ankle was still chained to the bed post. He felt weak and drained of energy, his breathing was terribly labored.

Cain broke the kiss and stood back. "Good boy, not bad for your first kill. You are so precious!"
Returning home, Omi caught the faint scent of something very strange. "Father, someone is here," he looked up at Cain who led him into the house and into the parlor.
"Stay here," Cain told him and he nodded not sure what was going on.
**
The old house must have been around along time, thought Ken as he was led inside of it, the place was falling apart. He saw Omi sitting down in the parlor, but the boy looked totally different. His clothes looked like they were formal, that he was some rich aristocrat from another time. "Omi!" He ran into the parlor and looked at him. "Its me, Ken."
"Are you a friend of father's?" Omi blinked in confusion looking up at him with giant blue eyes that seemed to be pulling him in. "Why do you call me Omi?"
"What are you talking about? Omi is your name," Ken blinked at his friend in disbelief.
"My name is Angel," Omi growled, he turned away. "If you are not a friend of father's I kindly ask you to leave!"
This was strange. "Please, you have to listen to me, Omi, I mean Angel. This guy you call father isn't your father."
"Yes he is."
This hurt, Ken thought as he walked over to the rest of the group and saw that Omi was following him out of the parlor into the hall. They turned to see him and then he slowly spoke. "Father said that I need to lead you to his office," he whispered leading them to a rather small room near the stairs.
Aya blinked at the way Omi was acting, "Don't know who we are?"
"No, I do not, Father would never allow me to be around humans," the boy responded looking at them and then pointed at the room. "He's in there."
Shido slowly whispered to Ken. "Omi doesn't know who he is, so we play along until we get him out of here. How far into vampirism Omi is I don't know."
"He's already made his first kill tonight, so far he has lost his memory," the older vampire smiled at them and sat down. "Don't you like the way he is, Shido, so loyal, my little pet. A son who doesn't disobey, does what he is told."
"You've enslaved him!" Ken growled. "I want him back the way he was!"
"Even if it were possible, Angel is mine, now and forever. I can't leave him, after all his mortal father disowned him, hated him, I gave him acceptance. He will witness the Golden Dawn and it will be an honor to keep him from slaying Breeds."
"So that was the offer?" Shido hissed. "You couldn't have me, so you took Omi from his friends and family."
"You call these three family? The one called Aya ignored him, he never gave Omi advice about his maturity. The one, Yohji teased him about how he looked like a girl and should find a girlfriend. Then the one Ken, he believed that Omi was a child, too innocent to know the real feelings he felt for Ken, the Weiss I saw in his mind were the real prison."
Aya glared at him. "Omi never came forward when he was going through puberty, I gave him advice on how to handle it. His emotions even now are more confused then they were at fifteen."
"I only tease Omi because he knows I'm kidding. He had a great girlfriend once, I lay off on the dating jokes because I know he's still sensitive about it. To say we do not care about him is a lie. We were with him when he got mono, we held him down when he had to have shots. We put up with teenage mood swings more often than you could."
Ken was silent his eyes still on Omi who was standing in the hall listening to this. "I had no idea that Omi felt that way toward me. I always thought he was my little brother, he is innocent, he is naïve, in many ways he's still a child, he knows that and he relishes his youth and that maybe he will never have to be an assassin again. I just want him back!" He walked into the hall and looked at the boy staring at him. "You don't remember anything."
Omi nodded his head and then whispered. "I remember flowers, lots of them. I was surrounded by flowers."
"That was the flower shop," Ken told him. "Please you have to remember the freesia, it was your favorite. You used to stare at it, yellow was always so pretty to you."
The boy backed away from him. "No.I don't want to," he ran to Cain who held him. "Father make them go away."
"Very well." Cain smiled at Omi and led him out of the room and down to a hidden staircase. "You have tired my child enough for tonight, now leave!"
Ken watched Omi leave his heart felt heavy and he knew that something about what he said scared him.
