Chapter 5: Yui Hiiro

"Finally, I want you to marry Hiiro Yui."

More blood began pouring out of his mouth.

"Because,… he will take care of you…"

---------------

She stared long and hard at her drink. She was wondering if Duo had said anything to Hiiro about marrying her; or the promise he had made her keep.

"It's not going to move if you keep staring at it," he joked lightly; even if his voice was monotone.

She looked at him; a small smile graced her lips. "Duo mentioned you."

His eyes softened to an extent, before looking away, turning his attention to the new band performing on the stage.

She glanced around the bar and looked back at him. "Do you have a place to stay?"

"Hn."

"I'll take that as a 'No, I don't have a place to stay'."

He studied her for the first time since he had introduced himself. She was around 5' 1" and dressed similar to something Duo might have worn, had he still been alive. A priest collar with a black backless halter with two ties in the back held it together and around her upper torso. A pair of low rise black leather gflares and a pair of black combat boots adorned her feet. Her hair was tied in a braid, like Duo's, and like him, she wore a denim jacket stained red - he assumed it was Duo's blood.

She laid several bucks under her empty glass, grabbed his hand and pulled him after her. As soon as they were out, he asked her, "Where are we going?"

"My house," she muttered, tugging at the sides of her jacket.

He wrapped an arm around her waist.

She turned on him, glaring, "What do you think you're -----"

"Shh," he whispered, wrapped his jacket around her. "Now, get in the car."

She stared at the dark green Hummer with black flames curling around the end of the hood and doors. "WOW! Duo always wanted one of these…"

She hopped in, Hiiro to the driver's side. "I bought it for him a year or two ago. He insisted I take it."

He started the engine and sped out of the parking lot.

Silence enveloped the two; however, she pointed where to turn.

Hiiro was the first to break the silence. "Since you are Duo's sister, excuse me for automatically assuming; however, I am assuming you are one of them."

"Huh?"

A frown marred her face, seeing as she was perplexed as to what he was referring to.

"A vampire. Are you a vampire?"
