Chapter five:

"Kaoru?" Hikaru questions unable to take his eyes away from the scene before him. His tone of voice is a bit scared but mostly shocked.

Kaoru drops the body and jumps up spinning around to face his brother. "Wait. Hikaru. Please let me just explain. I-" He finds himself cutting off when his slightly older twin moves closer to him. He slightly glances down when Hikaru raises a hand brushing away a drop of blood dripping down his chin. He then feels a gentle touch moving his lips a little to expose his vampire fangs.

"How… How did this happen?" Hikaru questions looking at the pair of fangs almost like he wants to cry from seeing them. He does release his brother to allow him to speak though.

"It was a night walk. They attacked me." Kaoru admitted dipping his head slightly with his heart being confused having sunken from being spotted…. But…. the way he's acting….. It's making it confusing for him. "I thought I was as good as dead then when I woke up I was… Well, this."

Hikaru suddenly hugs his brother slightly confusing him even more. "I'm so sorry Kaoru!" He slightly sobs to him and Kaoru slowly hugs him back.

"Hikaru? You don't hate me?"

At this Hikaru pulls away pushing his brother away enough to have his arms stretched with his hands on his shoulders. He looks with tears into his surprised slightly younger brothers eyes. "Hate you? I could never hate you. I just feel so bad I wasn't able to be there for you. Especially when you needed me the most. I can't believe I never knew something was ever truly wrong."

"It's not your fault. Neither of us could have ever known that such a thing would happen. Plus I was just so afraid of what you might think of me that I hid the truth away. I never told anyone about what I had become." Kaoru admits glancing away feeling a little ashamed to have ever thought that his dear brother would hate him for this.

Hikaru hugs him close again and as his head is above Kaoru's shoulder he lets out a sniffle. "It's not your fault. I mean with what you seem to have had to do in order to remain you and alive I understand why you thought I'd hate you." He assures him giving a soft smile at least a little glad to finally know such an important detail of his brother that he's been missing… For who knows how long...

"Thank you." Kaoru's soul itself could soar from the relief he feels within himself.

After their little heart to heart moment comes to an end the two step away from each other.

Kaoru turns to take a glance to the body knowing that they'll need to do something about it before anyone wakes up to find it. He turns back to his brother when a hand comes upon his shoulder finding their eyes meeting.

"We can do this. Together we can guarantee that it'll be okay. Lets get her outside in the darkness and we'll bury her where no one will ever find her." Hikaru moves closer to the body heading around to try to grab onto her wrists. "You'll see. It'll be okay. We've got this together."

Kaoru swallows harshly thinking to himself about how there is still something that he is hiding from Hikaru. Something that can very easily make things not as okay as Hikaru would like to think that it'll be. He still keeps quiet about it for now and helps his twin to pick up the corpse on the floor.

Together the two of them take her out back.

Hikaru holds his phone in his mouth with the flashlight turned on in order to help them see where they are going.

They don't want to put it where there are paths and pretty lights in the garden. They are well aware that it'd only be asking for the body to be found at least rather quickly.

"Ok. Here should be good." Hikaru informs his brother who nods in agreement and they place the body down onto the ground. "I'll go find us a shovel and you wait here. Turn on your phone light if you need to." He heads off after that.

Kaoru doesn't turn on his phone light as he stands there waiting. He however pauses slightly glancing back when he swears that he picks up on something. He stills listening to see if he will hear it again.

This time it is a different noise. But this noise is unmistakable. A growl and it doesn't sound like any ordinary animal.

Kaoru takes a glance back the way that Hikaru is before making his way towards the noise. He makes it to the edge of his families property and he ducks into a nearby bush. He shifts enough to peer over the bush just in time to see what he had gone looking for.

A giant wolf is walking along slightly sniffing the air here and there. It is a lot bigger than normal wolves having to be at least twice the size of the normal ones. It has slightly dark brown fur and dark green eyes. It is walking along possibly hunting.

Kaoru clenches his teeth at the sight of the giant wolf. "Werewolf." He whispers to himself and he slightly opens his mouth unable to help it as his vampire instincts scream to take this beast out. He knows he has to be cautious however as werewolves are rather powerful beasts. He moves out of the bush slightly rolling into darkness. He reasons that he will only be doing this to protect Hikaru from possibly falling prey to such a thing. He doesn't even want to imagine what would happen if this wolf got its teeth or claws into his brother. He knows very well that there would only be two ways for it to go. He knows that Hikaru would either be turned into a werewolf or torn to shreds to be the wolfs next meal. He cannot let this happen to his own brother. He understands quite well all the heartache and learning it requires of someone newly turned. He spots an opening when the wolf turns away and uses his increased speed to dash at it.

While werewolves have the advantage of strength the vampires try to make up for it in speed. So as long as Kaoru keeps moving quickly he should be good.

Kaoru cannot let the wolf catch him or else that can turn very deadly. He jumps at the wolf wrapping his arms around its neck to try to limit its mobility as well as to try to push it down. He uses his grip to tug it down as it swings it's head with a snarl trying to reach him. He attempts to sink his teeth into his enemy's flesh however the enemy is moving too much for him to do so. He just needs to either bite it, which causes werewolves a lot of pain as a vampire's bite to them is poisonous, or to even drain its blood. He and the wolf tumble to the ground with the vampire trying to not let the wolf pin him. He shifts away letting go of the wolf for a brief moment when he almost falls from the wolf rolling. He can't let himself fall or else he could become pinned which would end things for him quickly. He could be killed by either the wolf biting to rip him apart or just bite him.

To a vampire a werewolf's bite is one of the only things that they cannot heal from. They could bleed to death from such an injury as it would just continuously bleed. They wouldn't even be able to stitch it better as it would only delay what will happen as it'd only slow the blood loss… Not to mention add a weak spot since not even the stitches would heal thus if they got broken the blood could come out faster again. They aren't as immortal as lure seems to make them but they are pretty resilient when it comes to injuries.

Kaoru notices the wolf shift to try to throw him off and he spots this as an opportunity. He moves swiftly and sinks his fangs into its jugular vein causing the wolf to let out a loud sound of pain. He begins quickly drinking it's blood despite that it's the most foul thing he's ever tasted.

It's just how it is. To vampires werewolf blood is the foulest thing they can ever taste. It's like a punishment for drinking their blood in the first place.

Kaoru clings desperately to the wolf that tries to thrash to try to get him off and to stop draining it. He can start to feel the thrashing get weaker and weaker as the blood is drained. He releases the deflated looking wolf once it's thrashing stops. He drops it to the ground and instead of licking away the drop of blood going down his chin he wipes it away. He doesn't want to lick up that disgusting blood after all. He looks up staring off into the darkness for a moment. He ends up not seeing or hearing anything else telling him that this wolf must have been alone.

Either as a loner wolf or having wandered into the area after going out away from the pack for whatever reason like maybe hunting for food or scouting.

Kaoru raises his head towards the moonlit starry sky and closes his eyes softly. He lets out a high pitched noise that humans cannot hear. He knows that the clan will know as the one clans noise is the only one that he knows.

Vampires who decide to make clans instead of going solo work together to do things. Like protect their territory. They have high pitched noises that are distinct between each clan. So when a vampire makes one it can be known what clan they belong to. They can go more solo than wolf packs as vampire clans can be made of loners sharing a territory. They just need to be peaceful to those in their clan and to work together when it is required of them. That is the minimum requirements to be a true vampire clan.

Once that is done Kaoru lowers his head back to its rightful place. His eyes open with the best calm look he can manage at the moment. He turns heading back to where he was before trying to get back before Hikaru gets back with a shovel hoping to not have to explain anything.
