-Chapter 11-

Six months after Rintarou and Juli's revelation, Ema's life became more peaceful although sometimes she tend to have nightmares about her parents' massacre. Still in-denial of Louis' ancestry, Ema still talks to him with such fondness. Even Hikaru was appalled about the blooming friendship between the two. Whenever Louis and Ema will go out to buy some groceries, Hikaru will always accompany them or when the two were just sitting under the tree, Hikaru will sit in between them for no reason at all. Louis one day had asked his brother if he is jealous, of course Hikaru denied it. Then Louis never bothers to think on why his brother was so clingy lately.

"The sun is so bright" Louis mumbled to himself, he covered his eyes from the offending sunlight using his right palm.

"Louis-chan, you should go back inside" Hikaru dragged him away from Ema

"Hikaru-niisan, are you perhaps jealous?" Louis inquired with mild amusement which is really rare for the younger Asahina.

"Nonsense! Why would I be jealous?" Hikaru denied it with a frown, yet he did not stop from dragging Louis inside the residence.

"Maybe you like Chi-chan" Louis muttered which earned a horrible gasped from the older Asahina. Hikaru turned his head; his eyes were glaring daggers towards his younger brother. "I like her too. Will that mean that Hikaru-niisan will be my rival?"

"Louis! Stop talking nonsense! The heat from the sun came up inside your,no?" With an annoyed sigh he left his brother. Then the windows around them were shattered, random men or rather vampires came to attack Louis. "Louis!" He shouted

"…." The boy turned his head to where his attackers were standing, swords in their hands. Louis did not even bother to dodge when one of them came to them, Blood splattering into the floor. Hikaru stabbed the attacker using the attacker's blood.

"Stay behind me" Hikaru ordered the young Asahina; both their eyes were shining in bright crimson which gave them a dangerous demeanor. Hikaru moved a finger and the next vampire fell into its knees, blood pooling out of its eyes, ears and nose.

Ema was startled when she heard the shattering of glasses from where she was sitting; she came out of the elevator only to see both Hikaru and Louis are being surrounded by vampires. Hikaru is moving his fingers to control the enemy vampire's blood against the offending team. Ema was so awed at how amazing Hikaru's ability is. He observed that Louis was standing quietly, crimson eyes blankly staring at the enemies. Hikaru is standing in front of him as he tries to protect his brother from harm's way.

"Louis-san! Hikaru-san!" Ema stupidly shouted which caught the enemy vampires' attention and the brothers' attention. Hikaru was stabbed right through his chest by two men. His blood pooling out of him, Louis stared at his brother in horror, He doesn't have any special abilities that only vampire royalties can have. He tried to fight but that only worsen Hikaru's disposition.

"Woman, take Louis with you!" Hikaru barked towards her direction, he winced when another pair of sword came right through his back.

"Louis-san" Ema tried to drag the horrified man out of the room

"No! No! No! Hikaru-niisan" Louis stared at the scene in horror. The timid vampire's despair to save his beloved older brother awakens a long sleeping power inside him. His left iris turned into a beautiful amethyst while the other one stayed bright crimson.

"That's—" One of the attackers whimpered when they saw his eyes.

"We need to kill it—" Another one ordered the rest.

Louis' tilt his head and he cackle in delight once one of the attacking vampires exploded, the poor thing's flesh and blood splattered across them. Hikaru fell into the floor panting after vampires who stabbed him met the same fate as that of their other colleagues at the hands of the demon prince's awakened ability. Louis' lips formed into sinister grin. He stared at the enemy forces with mild amusement, his eyes glowed and their lives were forfeited.

"Louis" Masaomi, who came out nowhere along with the triplets, Masaomi and Ukyo; the rest of the residents aside from Hikaru, Louis and Ema were out of town when Masaomi felt something off. He ordered Iori and the rest of the younger brothers but Ukyo, Kaname and the triplets refused to stay. They all went back as fast as they could and now they saw how terrifying Louis' ability is.

"Louis!" the rest of the brothers aside from Hikaru tried to call their rampaging brother.

"Stop now Louis—" Hikaru pleaded, He stood despite his injuries, his hands holding the younger Asahina's hands but the rampaging demon prince manipulated the blood around them to pin his brothers aside from Hikaru into the wall. Hikaru broke his left wrist when Louis twisted it.

"Louis-san please don't hurt them" Ema's arms found their way into the rampaging demon's body. She pleaded the youngest Asahina in the room to stop.

"We should kill that—" The remaining menaces cheered only to be squeezed by the wolves that were formed from the blood around them, Louis controlled the wolves made from blood easily.

"Should kill—" Louis muttered with such a cold voice. He eyed Ema Hinata with a glare.

"They are your family!" Ema shouted towards Louis, her arms tightening around Louis' body. "Please come back to us" Ema and Louis stared into one another for a few second before Louis lost consciousness. Hikaru was quick enough to catch the pale brother of his. He glared at Ema too

"Don't touch him!" He screamed at Ema, His eyes were glaring daggers towards her. "It is your fault" Hikaru did not stop either "You—" Masaomi stabbed him with a syringe and he pushed the plunger. The next thing that Ema saw was an unconscious Hikaru who fell into Kaname's arms.

"I am sorry but would it be fine if you'll go back to your room?" Ukyo said to Ema, who was about to refuse but when she saw how upset the brothers were she left them alone.

-Five hours later-

Ema showered and she is currently staring into the ceiling when a knock had startled her. She jolted out of her bed when Masaomi peek his head into the door. He looked tired and still upset but a he managed to pull a smile onto his lips.

"May I have a word with you?" Masaomi had asked her, when Ema nodded her head, he sat into the small pillow into Ema's room. "It's about Hikaru and Louis—"

"How are they?" Ema inquired softly. She is worried about the two of them.

"They are still asleep. Well first shall we eat our dinner? The others were waiting" Masaomi offered, Ema and him both went to the dining area. There she saw Kaname, who is sitting across Natsume and the twins who are sitting across one another. Masaomi beckoned for her to sit across Ukyo when he seat at the head of the table. They eat quietly and even cleaned the dishes until Ema was dragged by Kaname into the living room where the tragedy took place five hours ago. The place is clean and it doesn't even look as if the place was destroyed awhile back. They settled themselves into the sofa first; awkward silence ruled for a few minutes

"I am sorry about Hikaru's behavior and thank you for snapping Louis out of that phase" Kaname was the first one to talk

"Hikaru-nii always end up upset when Louis is in trouble" Natsume explained further

"Ema, Do not tell anyone about what happened here" Ukyo said coldly.

"Don't worry… I won't tell but ummm how did the place was you know—"

"Fixed?" The twins smirked "we did a trick or two"

"I saw Hikaru-san's ability— I think it was beautiful" Ema muttered shyly.

"Ah yes, we were born with unique abilities. Only vampire royalties and nobles can have them" Kaname wink towards her direction. "Wanna know ours?"

"E-Eh" Ema was surprised that they are willing to share such important thing with her.

"It is alright. I mean we are family now" Ukyo smiled warmly

"You see here" Masaomi scribbled into a thin paper their names "You may guess"

Masaomi

Ukyo

Kaname

Hikaru

Tsubaki

Azusa

Natsume

Louis

Subaru

Iori

Yusuke

Fuuto

Wataru

Ema took the paper and she look at the brothers that are present for a few minutes and she stare at the paper with their names. "I think Masaomi-san's ability is about healing. Ukyo san— I have no idea, Kaname-san too—, Hikaru-san can manipulate blood, Tsubaki and Azusa-san— umm was it about cleaning? Natsume-san is umm"

"I can heal anything as long as I wish for it" Masaomi said with a smile

"Can manipulate memories" Ukyo revealed

"Make an illusion"

"See through past"

"See through future"

"Stop time"

"Hikaru can manipulate anything as long as it is in liquid form"

"Wow—" Ema was so amazed about the new knowledge she learned about her brothers today. "Louis-san's—"

"Louis doesn't have it… or more on his isn't like ours. He is a little bit special" Natsume scratched his cheek awkwardly

"Louis won't be able to remember what happened today. I made sure he will stay unaware of his ability. It is for his well-being" Ukyo said, just like the rest he looked tired. Ema and the rest bid their good night and they sleep well.

-Next day-

As soon as Hikaru opened his eyes, he went to Louis' room to check on him. The younger Asahina is still asleep to which Hikaru was thankful for. He is fully healed too; perhaps he needs to thank his Masaomi later. Hikaru ruffles Louis' curly hair. Smiling fondly afterwards when Louis lazily opened his eyes. A smiled back when he saw Hikaru.

"Good Morning Hikaru-niisan" Louis mumbled softly, a rare smile appeared on his lips.

"Morning Louie-chan. Did you sleep well?" Hikaru inquired.

"Yes but I cannot remember what exactly happened. We were talking and—" Louis sat up straight into his bed. He furrowed his pale eyebrows while trying to remember what really happened. "That's weird— I cannot remember anything after we talked"

"You fell asleep while talking to me" Hikaru ruffles his younger sibling's mauve curls. "I was so worried so I called Masaomi-nii back"
