Chapter 4.

The sun's light slowly seeped in through the skylight and poured over Miyu and Larva as they slept peacefully in each other's arms.
Miyu slowly awoken from her deep slumber and looked around her. She was in Larva's room confirming that what had happened last night had been real and not one of her dreams.
She put her hand over her mouth to stifle a yawn and slowly sat up, being careful not to wake Larva. As she sat up the blanket slid off her upper body revealing her naked breasts. She quickly grabbed the blanket and pulled it over her, afraid of someone seeing her naked.
Larva stirred in his sleep, but didn't wake up. Miyu glanced over at the clock that sat on the dresser next to the bed. It was eleven o' clock, making it the longest time she had ever slept in, in centuries.
She snuggled back under the warm blankets and stared up at the skylight. What harm would a couple more hours of sleep do? There were no stray shinmas, that she knew of, causing trouble anywhere.
She yawned again and closed her eyes, but quickly reopened them. Stray shinmas. . . . She swore she had seen a shadow of someone looking in through the skylight last night. She had quickly forgotten about it but now that she had thought of stray shinmas it came back to her.
Larva rested his head on her shoulder and opened his eyes.
Miyu turned her head to look at him and smiled. "Good morning sleepy head," she kissed his forehead.
"Morning," he whispered as he kissed her cheek. "My princess." Miyu giggled childishly as he tickled her stomach. "Is that what I am?" she asked. She giggled again as his hands moved up under the covers to tickle her breasts.
"That's what you're always been," Larva replied. He touched her lips. "And what you will always be to me."
Miyu sighed as he kissed her neck and then her lips. The desire that had heated their bodies had died out after they had gone to sleep but now it was being rekindled.
Miyu laid her head back on the pillow and looked up at the skylight. The shadow!
"Larva," she whispered.
Larva kissed her cheek. "What is it?"
She didn't want to ask him for fear of ruining the moment but she had to make sure that she hadn't been hallucinating.
"Did you see anything looking in through the skylight last night?" she asked.
Larva stopped and looked at her, his eyes darkened. The moment was official ruined. "No, I did not see anything," he replied. "What did you see?"
"I thought I saw a shadow," Miyu said, "but maybe I was hallucinating." She caressed his face. "Don't worry about it." But Larva pulled away from her and looked up at the skylight. Miyu was worried that he was upset that she hadn't told him sooner. "I hope you're not upset because I didn't tell you earlier."
Larva shook his head but continued to stare up at the skylight. Miyu wrapped her arms around his neck and looked up at the skylight. It couldn't have been a guardian. Miyu couldn't even begin imagine what would have happened if Reiha had come by for one of her surprise visits.
Larva squeezed her hand. "Don't worry," he whispered. "I don't think that is was a guardian."
Miyu rested her head on his shoulder. "Then who could it have been?"
Larva was silent for a moment. He looked back up at the skylight as if thinking. "I don't know," he finally replied.
Carlua groaned as she rolled over on to her side and opened her eyes.
She was back on the ship in her bedroom. She sat up too fast, causing her head to ache. How could she be on the ship? Had last night just been a dream? A horrific nightmare that she never thought she could have imagined in her mind?
She slowly slipped off the bed. She had to find Lemures. She didn't remember ever going to her room. Something had happened.
She opened her bedroom door and stepped out in to the hallway. She could see the light flickering from under the library door down the hallway.
He had to be in the library, he spent practically all his time in there.
Carlua slowly walked down the hallway. Everything in her dream seemed so real, too real. She could remember everything so perfectly, of course she had, had other dream such as that one. When she was a little girl she dreamed that Larva came back from Japan, but it wasn't really him. It was his ghost, bloody and lifeless, floating aimlessly through the Western World. She would try to call his name but it was as if he never heard her no matter how loud she called. It had been her most frightening nightmare as a child.
She stopped in front of the library door. It was ajar so she could look inside. Lemures sat next to the fire, his chin resting in the palm of his hand, reading a book. She wasn't sure if she should interrupt him, so she slowly turned away from the door. It could wait.
"Come in," Lemures called as she was about to walk away.
Carlua paused before opening the door and walking in. She closed the door behind her and waited. She wasn't quite sure how to tell him about her nightmare, if it was even a nightmare.
"Did you sleep well?" Lemures asked casually.
"Hardly," Carlua mumbled.
Lemures closed his book. "I found you asleep on deck so I brought you down to you quarters. I hope you don't mind."
"No I don't," Carlua replied. She was relieved that it had just been a nightmare, but something didn't seem right. She walked over and sat down in a chair across from him.
His expression was grave as if he were upset about something. Carlua took a deep breath. "I wasn't really asleep on deck," she said. "It really happened didn't it?"
"I don't know what you are talking about," Lemures said.
Carlua stood up. It took all her strength to keep herself from crying. "I saw them," she said. "Don't try to get me to think it was a nightmare. I saw them with my own eyes."
Lemures stood up suddenly and Carlua thought that he was going to slap her, but he didn't. "I was there also," he said. "I watched from a tree nearby. I caught you when you fell off the edge of the roof and carried you back to the ship. I wasn't sure if you could handle the truth."
"But that is the truth," Carlua said. "Larva is permanently bond to that vampire slut and to make things even worse he didn't do it because he was ordered to!"
They were both silent for a moment.
"Then there is nothing keeping us here," Lemures said. "Shall we return to the Western World?"
"No," Carlua said. "If I can't have him then that whore can't have him either."
"I understand," Lemures said. "Then it's decided?"
"Yes," Carlua said. "Larva and Miyu must both die!"
BlueDragonGirl#1: Carlua wants revenge. Oh no! Your most frightening nightmare is Carlua getting her revenge. Hopefully Miyu and Larva will be ready (And dressed) to face her wrath. R&R!!!
