-Chapter 6-
There was a knock at the door.
"Arg…" Tsuzuki grumbled, tightening his hold on Hisoka. Maybe if he ignored it, the person would go away.
Knock-knock.
"Damn…" Tsuzuki mumbled as he carefully got out of bed. He didn't want to wake Hisoka up; he knew the boy was tired from yesterday. But damn it was early; at least he still had pants on.
"Yes?" he said, as he opened the door. It was Natsumi.
"The master needs to see you as soon as possible." she said.
"Ummm… could you give us a half-an-hour?" Tsuzuki asked.
"Yes, That'll be fine. Please be in the main room in half-an-hour." Natsumi replied.
"Great. Good-bye." Tsuzuki said, closing the door.
"who was it?" Hisoka asked, sitting up sleepily on the bed.
Tsuzuki couldn't help but smile at the sight. Hisoka was wiping tiredly at his eyes. He was all disheveled, with his hair all messy. He reminded Tsuzuki of a cat, more like a kitten, just waking up.
"Natsumi. We're suppose to be in the main room in half-an-hour." Tsuzuki said, sitting down on the bed. He leaned over and gave Hisoka a soft kiss to his forehead.
"I guess we should get ready." Hisoka said, moving to stand up.
"But we have plenty of time and still haven't used the tub." Tsuzuki said hopefully.
"We don't have time this morning Asato."
"But Hisoka…." Tsuzuki whined, but the look Hisoka gave him left no room for discussion.
"Alright then, what about later?" Tsuzuki asked.
Hisoka sighed before replying "We'll see."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Glad to see you all up." Damian said, as Ryu, Hisoka and Tsuzuki entered. Of course he was lounging in his favorite leather chair near the fireplace, which was lit.
"Thanks to you. So, what did you want to see us about?" Hisoka asked.
"I've been able to get some information on Kuri." Damian said.
"And, what is it?" Hisoka asked.
"According to my sources, Kuri was last seen four days ago, at a bakery apparently. She was supposedly alone, but didn't seem to be herself. That was the only time she was seen. And it's been confirmed that Kuri is with Kiyoshi." Damian said.
"But how do you know she's with Kiyoshi if no one was with her?" Tsuzuki asked.
"I know a few of his vampire followers, they can be easy to persuade if you make the right offer, but that's beside the point. The point is that we now know where she is." Damian said.
"So what do we do now?" Tsuzuki asked.
"We go and get her back from Kiyoshi, that's what." Ryu said.
"You know we can't do that Ryu. It's suicide, think about what you're saying. We can't do any good dead, we need to be cautious about this." Damian said.
"so what are we suppose to do Damian?" Ryu said, bitterly.
"Alright, just hear me out. Kiyoshi is the leader of my clan. During the last battle he lost for control of all vampires, but won being the leader of my clan. He defeated his two siblings and took control. If we can get his siblings to help us, then we may stand a chance." Damian said.
"And why would they be willing to help us?" Ryu asked.
"I was changed by the sister, so I can almost guarantee that she would help us. That is if she doesn't kill you all first. If we can convince her, then she'd be able to help us with her brother." Damian replied.
"Are you sure about this?" Ryu asked.
"not really. She may kill us all, or she'll help us." Damian replied.
"Another person willing to kill us, so what else is new." Hisoka said.
"And you can't think of any other way to do this?" Tsuzuki asked, not thrilled about meeting the vampire that changed Damian.
"This is the only way I can think of." Damian replied.
"So are we going?" Hisoka asked.
"I suppose so. Let's get going." Ryu said reluctantly.
Damian stood up and grabbed on to each of them before teleporting to her place. He could only hope that she wouldn't kill them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Why do we keep getting drug to places that we have no idea about?" Hisoka asked Tsuzuki.
"I guess it's just our luck." Tsuzuki replied.
"Come on you two." Ryu said.
Currently Hisoka, Tsuzuki, and Ryu were being led by Damian down a hallway, on the top floor of some apartment building.
"Here we are." Damian announced as they came to the last door. He turned to them and said "There are some things you need to know before we enter.1. Watch what you say- you really don't want to piss her off. 2. Don't be intimidated by what she says- she's a vampire and she knows it. 3. Be incredibly respectful unless she tells you other wise. And 4. Don't give her any reason to kill you."
"Such pleasant warnings Damian." Tsuzuki said .
"Hey! I'm being honest. Alright, ready?" Damian asked taking out a key.
"I guess…" Ryu replied.
Damian inserted the key and slowly turned it, unlocking the door. He opened the door and they were greeted by a rather odd sight.
The room was huge, bigger than Damian's main room. It was blue, a royal blue covered the walls. The ceiling was white and accented by paintings of a battle. After talking with Damian they knew it was probably one of the vampire battles. The thing about the ceiling was that it seemed to depict three people fighting- two men and one woman. The detail was incredible, but that didn't compare to the view. Considering that they were on the highest floor of the building, it made sense to have such an incredible view. There were massive windows that took up the entire wall, some lead out to a balcony. The furniture was leather, apparently vampires like leather. It just didn't seem like the lair a vampire.
"You can stop staring at anytime now." Damian said.
Everyone quickly regained their composure.
"So where is this woman?" Ryu asked.
"I guess you really weren't paying attention. One of her men said that she'd be right out and for us to take a seat." Damian replied.
So they all went and sat down, waiting for this woman to appear.
"so… she's the one that changed you?" Tsuzuki said.
"Yes, her name is Nariko Takashi. It was an intersting time...Oh, here she is." Damian said standing up.
Forget them not believing that a vampire lived here; as soon as Nariko stepped into the room, they all knew. She had short, layered, dark brown hair, with a tinge of red in areas. She was a little shorter than Tsuzuki, and was probably about twenty- four, not including how long she had been dead. She was wearing a dark blue tank-top, with a black shirt over top, which hung open. Her pants were dark jeans that seemed to be part of her body. She had on black high-heeled boats, that elongated her legs. But what caught you was her eyes, there were a deep brown- with specks of blue in them. They seemed unnatural, but then again she wasn't natural. Upon seeing that there were multiple people in her home she stopped.
"Well… This is a surprise…" she said walking towards them.
"Yes, I'm sorry about that Nariko, but something just came up." Damian replied.
"I can see that. And who are these people in my home?" Nariko asked.
"This is Ryu Saito, Hisoka Kurosaki, and Asato Tsuzuki. They are friends of mine, and are need of your assistance." Damian replied.
"And why would I help these people? They're guardians of death, I should kill them on the spot. What were you thinking bring them here! They could expose me, and I'd rather not have to kill again." Nariko said angrly.
"If I may speak miss?" Ryu spoke up quietly.
"Yes. Please enlighten me as to why you are all here." Nariko said with some frustration.
"My partner, Kuri Kojo, is missing. I was told that you be able to help me get her back." Ryu said as respectfully as he could.
"I'm not a detective, besides what does that have to do with me? Why me in general?" Nariko said.
"She was kidnapped by your brother." Damian replied.
"So, it's nearing the time of the battle, people go missing all the time. I don't see the meaning behind involving myself in this." Nariko replied hastily.
"Kuri has the ability to do almost anything within a person's mind. She's able to control their thoughts, movements, and feelings. She is a very powerful psychic and can sometimes se into the future." Damian said.
Nariko stopped at that. "Are you serious?" she said quietly.
"Unfortunately yes. I suppose you realize the seriousness of this." Damian said.
"I do, but I'm not sure about these people. I'll need to talk to each of them in private, then I'll make my decision. You realize that there'll be conditions. But I'll consider it, that's all I can agree to at this point." Nariko said.
"All I'm asking for is a chance for us to try and explain this situation." Damian said.
"Very well. I'll see each of you individually in my room Damian you're first." Nariko said, heading back towards the room she entered from. Damian turned and gave one look back before entering.
