Sorry for taking so long. I've been focusing on Photograph and got a little caught up. Sorry.. but here's the next chapter!

-Chapter 14-

Tsuzuki awoke with a start and looked around frantically. He couldn't seem to remember where he was and his head as killing him. And Hisoka... Hisoka...

"Tsuzuki?" He heard and turned towards the sound of the voice.

"Nariko?" he asked.

"You alright? You were screaming and finally woke up. Here." He said as she handed him a glass of something. Tsuzuki took it and drank it, not really paying attention to what it was. He then spit it out.

"What the hell is this!" he cried out.

"Blood" Nariko replied.

Tsuzuki through the cup away in disgust. "I can't drink that." he said.

"Correction you can and have to, you're a vampire now remember. It comes with the territory. Now what's wrong?" Nariko asked.

Tsuzuki didn't answer. He looked down and watched the blood spread out along the concrete floor.

"Tsuzuki!"

"What?"

"What the hell has gotten into you?"

"Nothing."

"Of course it's something. What the hell happened while you were asleep?"

"I saw Hisoka..."

"No big surprise there, so what happened?"

Tsuzuki didn't answer.

"Tsuzuki you have to tell me or things are never going to get anywhere. If it was a normal dream I wouldn't say anything, but I know better, something is wrong and you're going to tell me what it is."

"I saw Hisoka... and Kiyoshi..."

"What!"

"They were in my dream. Kiyoshi took Hisoka and then told me to tell you something..." Tsuzuki trailed off.

"What did he tell you?"

"That he... will be waiting..."

"Shit!" Nariko cried.

"What?" Tsuzuki asked, confused.

"He knows we're coming. Shit! And that means he will be prepared for us. I was hoping that we'd have the element of surprise but now...Shit! Shit! Shit!"

"We can still fight him though, right? We have to, don't we?" Tsuzuki said.

"Yes, we will fight but things have gotten more complicated..."

"How so?"

"He knows we're coming and it's pretty much been confirmed that Hisoka will be changed."

"What!!!" Tsuzuki cried, jumping up from the bed he was lying on.

"Tsuzuki sit down. You shouldn't move too much just yet." Nariko said, pushing him so he was sitting down.

"Are you serious?"

"Unfortunately... yes..."

Tsuzuki was silent.

"I have a question for you Tsuzuki" Nariko said after a moment.

"What?"

"Will you be able to fight Hisoka?"

"What!!!"

"I'm serious. Will you?"

"No... I can't..."

"Then you aren't coming with us." Nariko said.

"Why..."

"Because you may have to fight him and I can't afford to have anyone not be fighting their hardest. There's a reason why Kiyoshi is feared. I need to know that you will be able to fight and train your hardest. I'm not asking you to kill him or anything, just to fight. He won't be himself, Kiyoshi will insure that. So will you?"

"Do I have a choice?"

"You always have a choice." Nariko replied.

Tsuzuki was quiet for a moment. "Yes." he answered.

"Alright then. Let's begin you're training." Nariko said going and standing up, leaving the room.

Tsuzuki got up and walked over to the mirror on the other side of the room. He looked at himself, in all honestly there wasn't that much of a difference. His skin was a little lighter, and his eyes were darker, that and he noticed two long canines protruding from his mouth. He opened his mouth to inspect them. The door opened and Nariko reentered. Tsuzuki unconsciously closed his mouth and regretted it as his lip began to bleed.

"Tsuzuki?" Nariko said going and standing next to him. She quietly picked up the hand towel next to the sink and wiped away the blood.

"Relax Tsuzuki. Think about going inside yourself, about going inward." Nariko said.

Tsuzuki listened and did as he was told and after a moment he felt his teeth shifting, as the canines retracted.

"Wow..." he said.

"And that's not the half of it. Now let's go." Nariko said, once again leaving the room, with Tsuzuki following.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-At Kiyoshi's-

"How is he?" Kiyoshi asked, looking at Muraki.

"He has just awoken my lord and is calling for you." Muraki replied.

"Good. Then the transformation was a success. You may leave." Kiyoshi replied.

"Yes My Lord." Muraki said, bowing and leaving.

Kiyoshi looked up at the ceiling with a smile on his usually expressionless face.

"This is going to be interesting..."

-Nariko's Training place-

"Please remind me why we are in the middle of the woods?" Tsuzuki said.

After waking up and telling Nariko about his dream, they had quickly left for "training" as Nariko said. Tsuzuki didn't even have a chance to talk to Tatsumi and Watari before he was teleported out of the building.

"I'm looking for my old training grounds." Nariko said as they continued walking.

"So you trained here?" Tsuzuki asked.

"Yes. My Lord brought me here to teach me how to control my abilities." Nariko said, not elaborating further.

"What abilities?" Tsuzuki asked, curious. It was then that he realized that even though he had been working with this vampire and was changed by her, he didn't actually know what her powers were.

"Oh! I never did tell you did I?" Nariko said, stopping to think.

"You didn't and what exactly do you mean by powers? Don't all vampires have the same abilities?"

"Not exactly... You better sit down while I explain things." Nariko said. Tsuzuki simply sat down in the grass, it's not like there was a chair there or anything.

"For you to understand my abilities along with my siblings, you need to know about my Lord. He was one of the most powerful vampires to come into existence, and ruled all the vampires for thousands of years."

"Wow... That's a really long time... How could he be that powerful to keep power for so long?" Tsuzuki asked.

"I'm getting there. Let me finish."

"Oh! Sorry!"

"Alright... where was I... oh, right... he was in power for so long because of his immense power. He was able to control all ten elements- darkness, light, fire, water, wind, ice, lightening, earth, plants, and metal."

"Holy Crap!" Tsuzuki interrupted.

"I know... but he eventually relinquished his power. Soon after he changed Kiyoshi, myself, and Kisho, endowing us with certain abilities, before he disappeared."

"How could he just disappear?" Tsuzuki asked.

"I don't know. I guess without his powers he was able to blend in... no one has seen him for hundreds of years... But anyway. He changed each of us because he believed that we would be able to control his powers. There's a difference between having a power and being able to use it."

"So what powers did you get?" Tsuzuki asked.

"I control water, wind, ice and light. Kiyoshi controls darkness, fire and lightening, while Kisho controls earth, plants, and metal."

"So shouldn't you be the strongest? Since you have the most powers?"

"I should, but you see there's a problem..."

"What?"

"While Kisho and Kiyoshi can completely control all their powers, I cannot."

"Why not?"

"I'm not sure. There's one power that even My Lord couldn't completely control..."

"Which one?"

"Light."

"Light?"

"Yes. For some reason it's the hardest to completely control. I can use it, don't get me wrong, but not to its full potential. That's were you come in..."

"Me? How?"

"My powers could leave me whenever I change someone, but only if that person is more suited to control it. Light apparently thought you were a better wielder so it went to you when I changed you."

"Why me? I don't understand..." Tsuzuki said confused. Why had a power like light chosen him?

"My Lord said that no vampire he had ever met was pure or innocent enough to wield Light, I was the closest, but you are better than me. You are more pure and innocent, so it chose you Tsuzuki."

"But I'm not innocent... I killed people...I've done things..." Tsuzuki said sadly.

"We all have Tsuzuki, not just you. But it's resistance to bloodshed and evil that Light must have seen. It's your innocence at heart and love for others over yourself. I could never feel that way, not even close except for Damian, but even then nothing near what you feel. It's the person that you fight to be that Light saw. That's why I believe it chose you."

"I don't understand this." Tsuzuki said, shaking his head, as if trying to clear it.

"You don't have to all you need to do is figure out how to master it." Nariko replied, resuming her walk.

Tsuzuki got up to follow. They walked in silence, neither looking at each other, until Nariko suddenly stopped.

"We're here." she said.

Tsuzuki looked around in awe of the place. It was beautiful. There was a small waterfall that cascaded into a pool of crystal clear water. There was a clearing around the pool, and a row of trees surrounding the area. It was stunning and this is where they were going to train?

"It feels like I'm coming home." Nariko said with a smile.

"Wow..." Tsuzuki mumbled.

"Yea. I know. Now let's get to work." Nariko said, turning around so she was facing Tsuzuki.

Tsuzuki looked at her confused as she spread her arms.

"Umm... Nariko?"

Nariko closed her eyes as her arms began to move on their own. She opened them and the water from the pond shot at Tsuzuki.

"What the hell!"
