Chapter Three

4 hours later, and a lightweight purse they returned to the manor.

Heero examined his new leather jacket he had received as well as many other things from Serenity. He had gotten to know Serenity well but noticed she didn't say anything about 'them.'

Dropping the twenty or so bags from his grip in the parlor of the manor, he dropped to the floor in a sitting position quietly while taking off his jacket carefully while Serenity chattered on. Muttering something in Japanese, a loud shrill beep came from one of the bags that held his old and weathered down jacket.

Leaning over, he dug inside the bag and pulled out a sleek silver cell phone. Flipping it open he ignored Serenity's curious stare he began to block out the hysterical screams coming from the small device.

"Mission Declined, I resign" He said coldly and snapped it shut and stuffed it in his pocket turning it off doing so.

"What's that?" Serenity spoke up tugging on the end of his t-shirt.

"A cell phone, you can talk into it to talk to other people and they can talk back" He responded as he began to pull clothes out of his backpack they had picked up from the local hotel on the way back to the manor.

Setting aside those, he pulled the shopping bags toward him and started sorting them, trying not to blush with a few of the items Serenity had brought.

He yawned as he began to lean to his side on Serenity's shoulder. His eyes began to flutter shut as a world of darkness welcomed him and lured him to sleep.

Serenity pushed the bangs out of his face as she sighed. Two weeks, two weeks was all the time she had with him, to teach him the abilities and past.

Looking down at him, she smiled sadly as his form began to change. Seconds later, a young boy settled a younger version of Heero. Sliding her fingers through his hair, she too began to fall asleep.

Serenity laughed as she twirled around the dance floor. Skirts were flying, as music danced in the ears of many.

The song ended and the deafening sound of the crowd clapping but soon subsided as they began a slow melody which drove many off the floor.

Serenity skipped off the floor with the large quantity of friends that accompanied her. Grinning, she waved them off as she entered the balcony and stared up at the diamond sky ahead. Almost immediately her mouth was covered as she disappeared from the lavish gathering forever.

Serenity's eyes fluttered open as she rose from her position, pulling the thick goose-feather covers off she stepped out of the bed and looked around the room surprised that it had been refurnished in a new fashion.

The old musty smell of the room had been replaced by a sweet and husky cinnamon and vanilla. The furniture had all been replaced with more new extravagant furnishings as well as decorations.

Her delicate feet stepped over directly-almost tip-toeing into her wardrobe. All of her dresses had been pushed to the side and boxed up. Her new clothes had been hung up on one side while Heero's was on the left.

Peering out of the wardrobe, she smiled softly at Heero's sleeping face and went back to picking out some light and easy to move in clothes.

She needed to train him and quite badly though he was stronger then most humans-he still didn't know what it took to be one of the 'undead' as she called it. Pulling out green tank-top and black shorts for him, she placed them on the chair in front of a vanity and picked out her clothing for the day. Raising a hand, a maid came sailing threw the walls and curtsied.

"Milady, what can I do for you today" She said happily.

"Please none of that Mi'chelle" She said going through her drawers looking for her new shoes she had bought yesterday when Mi'chelle held them up "Mi'chelle, please go make sure the weaponry room is up to date and ready to use" She said snapping her fingers as her new outfit was fitted onto her while her hair was being brushed and pushed up into a tight ponytail. Walking out of the room, she climbed back up onto her bed as she placed Heero's head in her lap as her fingers threaded threw his hair.

"Such a shame" She said quietly "What a pretty little pet" Her fingers slid down his neck to the two puncture wounds on his neck "Two weeks to train you."

Heero's eyes were still swimming in darkness with his mind running and twirling with questions. Serenity's fingers were very warm, unlike his cold pale skin 'Two weeks and training? I don't need to train-I just need to know about being a vampire and surviving' he thought before drifting back to sleep. 'Being an assassin definitely didn't have its sleep perks' He thought one last time.

Serenity's hands trailed up to his ear and quickly pulled it before deciding it would be wise to just pull his cheek outwards causing him to grab her wrists tightly and pulling her down so that her face was right above his.

"Don't" He whispered as he opened his Prussian blue eyes and closed them again.

Serenity grinned pushing her face forward even more, so that their noses were touching "Do" She replied laying a light kiss on the tip of his nose.

Heero wrinkled his nose slightly as he grabbed Serenity's neck and pulled her down and pulled her lips to his while whispering "Please do" before pushing her back up and falling off the side of the bed and landed on feet effortless.

Serenity pointed to the wardrobe dazedly "Wardrobe, clothes picked out" She whispered as Heero disappeared into the wardrobe. Finally letting out a sigh she had been holding and fell back onto the bed "Ich bin verliebt."

Coming out of the wardrobe, he tugged his green tank-top on to his small body, or at least 5'6. Sitting on the bed, he pulled on his yellow tennis shoes and laced them up quietly as Serenity slid off the bed gracefully as Mi'chelle came into the room.

"Milady, the weaponry is updated and ready to use" Serenity nodded and dismissed her.

Standing up, he began to follow her through the halls that were deserted again, the mirror was gone and in its place was a bouquet of black bred roses with a tea tray right next to it.

As they walked down the stairs, the portraits were being cleaned and stripped to be brought back to their once formal and righteous glory. Noticing they were going up the other hallway, he noticed how darkly lit hallways as he peeked through doorways finding grand libraries, and busy kitchens. The walls were covered in what looked like Serenity's family history and historic events.

Stopping at a large door, they stepped into a mirror covered room which held many weapons that would put an army weapon barrack to shame.

Katanas and sabers, as well as packages of throwing stars, and poison filled darts. Glaives and staffs laid horizontally on shelves, but what surprised him the most-were the guns.

Every kind of gun laid on counters screwed into the walls, packages and boxes of bullets were stacked by every gun. A mint condition, never been used, shining DS1-Falcon, a very accurate and easy to hide handgun.

Touching the Falcon, several targets raised up behind him as he checked if it was loaded and swiftly turned around and shot the targets with severely perfect accuracy. More targets rose up as he reloaded the gun quickly and began shooting yet again.

Serenity stood transfixed on the gun, wincing every time he shot and damaged the target and now understood why he had snatched the gun from her earlier.

Not noticing he had stopped, he placed the DS1-Falcon back onto the counter and waited for Serenity to say something.

Getting annoyed he began to walk towards her as she blinked quickly and ran away to the door closing it gently but a loud bang still sounded. Running towards him, she pushed him near the center mirror which was by his guessing-also enchanted.

"I'm going to train you on your abilities" She started "Every vampire has several general abilities every vampire has, and then one or two, or even three special abilities" She continued pulling out a simple pocket watch. "Every vampire can hypnotize their victims –which in turn made you a willing vampire" She grinned and swung it in front of him "But we do not do it with objects, but simply with our eyes" She ended placing the watch on the nearest table.

"Another is we're able to blend with the shadows" She said circling him, while pushing him back as well "But that's easy enough to do-even without being a vampire" She said smirking.

"We live forever, stakes and crosses do not work and neither does the sun-but we do get nice tans to blend in better" She pointed towards the ceiling as he noted that the sun was shining through the ceiling windows. "But there is one case, in which it will harm you, and that's only if you have been newly turned. Just like you" She said leaning against the mirrored wall, pulling at her black sleeveless turtleneck.

"Yet again, another ability is you never grow older so you'll stay the same until-the sun or the earth blows up-killing us all" She giggled a little bit after that remark.

"Now! One of your special abilities is- changing your appearance" She said looking at him as he raised an eyebrow "Yes, you can make yourself look younger or older –few have that ability."

Nodding, he asked "How do I do that" He looked in the mirror, almond shaped eyes gave away his Japanese heritage but his unruly chestnut colored hair hung in his eyes as he moved.

Serenity moved towards him shrugging "Maybe-you need to envision yourself as a little kid, or an old grandpapa!" She said hoisting herself onto one of the countertops watching him.

Heero closed his eyes as he imagined himself like the little boy in his dream. Cracking open his eyes he stared at the image reflected.

Two innocent eyes peered back at him as a small thin figure was standing there mocking him. "This can't be…" He murmured pressing his hand to the mirror.

Serenity squealed and jumped off the counter to pick him and spin him around, hugging him tightly "You're so cute!"

"Ugh" He groaned, apparently when he changed forms, his reflexes and inwards changed with him. Turning back into his regular form, he flexed his muscles and stretched out his body.

"You were so cute as a kid" Serenity happily commented.

"Hn." He grunted "What else do I need to know?"

"Well we have enemies and blood to cover, as well as fighting and well…cultures" She counted off on her fingers as she said those.

"Alright" He replied as he readied himself to be taught and taught he was.

They crammed information that would've taken hours to learn in minutes, cultures reviewed as well as drummed into him. He found fighting was much smoother with the added agility and senses he had acquired.

Hours were consumed as the room begun to dim as Heero and Serenity finally finished the last enemy.

The lycanthrope-or otherwise known as werewolves. They hunted vampire souls and kept them for centuries as well as destroying their bodies-rendering them trapped.

None of this seemed to faze him except for something 'Why only two weeks?' He kept thinking over and over.

"Two weeks" Serenity thought as she trained and taught 'Til we say our ado's and shall be torn to shreds by the winds of destiny"
