Kiya: Hello my faithful views out there. This is probably one of the best stories that I'm writing so far and I'm grateful to all those reviews I get. This is my motto, "Reviews are like blood to a vampire, the more reviews, the happier the vampire."

Chapter 3: Hidden Meanings

As the limo was driving at 55 miles/hour, Ayumu glared at Eyes with bitter hatred and fear. Ayumu was sitting in the back of the limo with him on the opposite side. There could be two possible out comes for his presence being here and he didn't like neither one of them. Either Eyes was going to kill him, for knowing too much, or he was going to turn him into a vampire. At this point Eyes was closing the window that connected them to the chauffeur and turned his attention to the younger boy that was still glaring at him.

"Relax, Little Narumi, I'm not going to kill you or turn you into a vampire," Eyes spoke as he was taking off his sunglasses( Kiya: Yeah, when they were talking to the principal Eyes was still wearing sunglasses. Not to bring any confusion.) to revel his blue cat-like eyes. Ayumu was now confused at this. 'How did he know what I was thinking?' Ayumu thought as he ceased his glaring.

"That's because vampires have the ability to read the minds of humans," Eyes answered the question in Ayumu's mind, "But not any human."

"What do you mean?" Ayumu asked hoping for an answer that would not involve him in it.

"Vampires are able to read the minds of those who have been marked by that vampire," Eyes explained with annoyance in his voice, if there was one thing he hated it was to explain the every-day vampire to someone, "In this case, I'm able to read your mind due to my mark." Ayumu hesitated at first, trying to understand what Eyes just said, and in an instant went to his wrist to the black spiral.

"Please tell me your not talking about this?" Ayumu asked as he held his right wrist up to Eyes for inspection.

"I'm afraid so," Eyes replied as Ayumu brought his wrist back.

"Then why the hell did you do this?" Ayumu asked and in replied the mark started to pain again.

"Would you have rather let me left you there to die last night, from the poison?" Eyes asked, with anger in his voice, him as he grabbed Ayumu by the marked wrist, increasing the pain for him, "If you weren't Kiyotaka's little brother, I might have left you there despite if you tried to save my life or not." Whatever hatred Ayumu had over Eyes was suddenly replaced with complete fear. The fact that Eyes could kill him here and now came back to him, despite what he said earlier.

"It might have been better than to face her again," Ayumu subconsciously admitted to Eyes and himself. 'Maybe I would have been better off dead, after all Madoka thinks it was my fault in the beginning that he was dead.' Ayumu though again to himself, unaware that Eyes heard everything that Ayumu said in his mind again. Realizing that he was starting to leave another mark on the younger boy's wrist, he released his hold on Ayumu.

"Despite on the 'what if's' what's done is done and now you are marked by me," Eyes spoke in annoyance.

"Can you explain how you know my brother?" Ayumu asked his voice sounding serious. This time it was Eyes'(is this spelled right?) turn to be surprise. Eyes was quiet for a while, not sure how to answer this question. He was aware that this question was like a double-edge sword. Knowing that if he said that they met before would put the younger boy in suspicion and would go in a frenzy saying that he was responsible for his brother's death. That and by telling him everything that he knew either ways, Ayumu would blame him for what happened to his brother.

"Let's just say that he got himself involved with us and his death was the result," Eyes finally answered and sure enough Ayumu looked like he was about to scream at the silver-haired teen, "But we weren't the ones that struck him down." Ayumu stared at him with a look that turned from hatred to confusion.

"What do you mean by us?" Ayumu asked controlling his anger toward the older teen.

"Well, as much as I hate to say this, where I'm staying, there are other Blade Children that live in my mansion," Eyes explained as he placed his hand on his head.

"So then why are you taking me away from my home?" Ayumu asked in an equal annoyance that Eyes was in.

"Are you saying that you would be better off with someone who enjoys beating the shit out of you?" Eyes asked with certainty of the answer. Ayumu had to agree with Eyes on that one, this would be better off than coming home to a pissed off Madoka. Ayumu remained silent for another ten minutes until Eyes broke the silence. "Anyways, due to the other house guests in my mansion, I would refrain from wandering around during the night. Also if you happen to have a desire to runaway from the mansion, they won't hesitate to go after you."

"Are you threatening me?" Ayumu asked as he narrowed his eyes.

"No, I'm just giving you a warning for future reference," Eyes replied as he smirked at Ayumu. But just as he was about to argue back at him Eyes had cut him off, "Ah, speaking of the mansion, we've arrived. Welcome to your new home." As Ayumu glanced at the mansion from the car window only one thought was repeating in his mind, 'More like welcome to your prison house,'
