Kiya: Thanks for the review guys! Ok, in the beginning, my prologue confused me when I re-read it and I had to revise for it to make sense. Now without further adieu here is the next chapter.
Chapter One: The Boy With Silver Hair
"Why did you have to go?" came a voice from within a darkened room. The house was dark and quiet and the once blissful happiness that occupied within the halls were now replaced with a grievous atmosphere. Ayumu Narumi was staring at a picture of his brother at a time when they were living with their parents. But they died when Ayumu was ten years old and now his older brother, Kiyotaka, was with them Kiyotaka's death occur in an alleyway while he was on his way home. His death was unexplainable to the paramedics that came to the scene and had baffled the police as well.
Now Ayumu lives with Madoka, his sister-in-law, and witnesses the once proud detective degrade herself with the abuse of alcohol and her uncontrollable violence, if Kiyotaka was to be ever mentioned. As Ayumu looks at the picture his face is cut, due to Madoka's recent attack.
"I can't take her beatings anymore, Kiyotaka," Ayumu whispers as he place the photo back in its hiding spot. He walked out of the room as quiet as he could, fearing that Madoka would wake up again and start to beat him up just for waking her, and slipped out of the door. This was the only time, either than school, that he felt safe to be free from his drunken sister-in-law's wrath. The night air cooled the cut on his face as he continued to walk down the quiet street. As he was walking he failed to notice a pair of eyes staring at him and started to follow his movements.
Ayumu's walk continued until he came to the alleyway that his brother's corpse was found. He stared down the alley as memories flooded back on the day that the police brought both Madoka and himself to the station to view the disfigured corpse that was his older brother. Sub- unconsciously he walked into the alleyway, while his mind wandered, and to two figures that were in the dark.
"Hey kid!" one of the figures yelled, which snapped Ayumu out of his thoughts.
"Don't you know it's not safe of young kids to be walking in the dead of night?" the first figure asked as it walked towards Ayumu, as the second one followed.
"Yeah, you don't know what kind of people are out there," the second figure said as both figures circled him. Ayumu tried to run but found that his feet wouldn't obey his commands.
"Or what kind of people are here," the first figure spoke as his smile showed a dagger-like tooth sticking out. 'These guys can't be vampires, there no such things.' Ayumu thought as his saw the tooth.
"Ah but if I were you, I'd start believing right now," the second figure replied to Ayumu's thought. At this point Ayumu was freaked by the second figure. 'Am I that easy to read?'
"No we just read your mind is all," the first vampire spoke as he advanced toward Ayumu's neck while the second vampire held him down by the shoulders. The first vampire barely grazed his neck when someone threw a knife at its shoulder. It hissed and turned its attention from Ayumu to the intruder.
"Let the boy go," the voice commanded as it advanced towards their view. The intruder had silver hair and blue cat-like eyes. The voice he had was a British accent and he sounded pissed off.
"Your in no position to command us!" the second vampire yelled as he released Ayumu and started to attack the intruder. The blue eyed man shifted from his strike and impaled the vampire with another knife, this one longer than the first one he used. The vampire screamed before he turned into a pile of dust. The blue eyed man stared at Ayumu, who looked scared shit, and walked towards him.
"You should go home," the British man informed Ayumu. But just before the British knew what happened, Ayumu pushed him aside and got stabbed by the first figure. Ayumu screamed as the knife stabbed his right wrist and was pulled out by the figure. At this action the Brit grabbed the vampire by the neck and pushed it to the wall of the alley. As he was about to slice its neck off when it started to speack.
"Wait, if you spare me, I can save him from the poison!" It screamed.
"I'll deal with it myself," he spoke as he sliced its neck off and was reduced to ashes. The Brit then turned back to Ayumu, who was preventing anymore blood from escaping his wrist and was trying to stay focus of what was going on.
"What's happing to me?" Ayumu asked as he stared at the Brit.
"The knife, the vampire stabbed you with, contained poison," the man informed, "And now it's starting to affect you, Little Narumi."
"How do you know me?" Ayumu asked, afraid of the response he would receive.
"I'll explain later, but right now give my your wrist," the man commanded.
"Why?" Ayumu asked.
"Well, do you want to live?" the Brit asked, annoyance detected in his voice.
"With the way my life is going, I don't know." Ayumu answered as honest as he could. 'Why would he want to live?' Ayumu thought, 'My parents and brother are dead and the only family member I have is drunk sleep and doesn't give a damn if I come back alive or dead.' Best be known to Ayumu, the Brit, too, can read his mind and heard every word Ayumu thought.
Without saying anything, the blue eyed man took Ayumu's wrist and began to suck the poisoned blood out of him. Ayumu gasped at the sudden movement from the Brit and starting to pass out from the blood that was being drained out of him. The Brit than spit the blood out of his mouth, satisfied with the success of getting the little poison out of him. Ayumu was about to completely pass out when the Brit whispered something in his ear.
"For attempting to save my life, I'll spare your's but I'm afraid that the vampires will come back for you." With that the Brit bit Ayumu's wrist. With the pain from being stabbed to being bitten by the man, that just saved his life, Ayumu past out. The Brit then removed his mouth from Ayumu's wrist and licked the blood clean off his wrist, revealing a black spiral mark where the Brit bit him.
"This mark symbolizes that a Blade Child claims you," the Brit informed the unconscious boy as he picked him up and started to carry him bridal style. "The black spiral is my mark and since the vampires here are too weak they won't come after you for a while." As he continued to walk towards Ayumu's apartment he stopped and looked down at the brown-haired youth in his arms. 'It's the Hunters here I'm a bit worried about.' the stranger thought to himself.
Kiya: Well this is defiantly not the last time that Ayumu would see his savior again. Who is this stranger (As if we don't know) and what does he mean by the Hunters? Why am I asking you? Stay tuned and find out in the next chapter. Also please review! >)
