Chapter 9: Awakening

Hitomi felt something pull within herself something dormant and forgotten was coming forth. Something was to awaken with in her but when and what was unknown to her. She looked at the others around the room. It seemed as if time slowed down as if she was going to see them for the last time with an ending. Not and ending of death but of something else she knew of this. She looked unknowingly at them all, she wanted to try something on her own. There was something she wanted to know this cat and mouse game started but till she thought about it, there seemed to be a hidden meaning underneath it. As if the roles were to change on him. She steeped to walk out with Van following.

"This time, stick with Allen. There is a matter I need to handle on my own." She walked out of the way of everyone, Van followed turning her around to face him. "My dear, Hitomi. My dear nightingale. Be safe." He placed a hand on her check. "My plans never include failure. But I am beginning to think about a part of me missing before a tragic event that must be reviled. Now is the time Van. You showed me part of a tragedy but there is something else missing before that I feel it."

Van fell silent to her words he was not confused by them they were profound and he wondered to this event she was talking about.

"I am playing a game with something and I want you to watch Allen I will have a head set on keep one on you and the others at all times. If something should happen. This challenge was issued to me. I believe that this should prove to be an interesting history lesson." She turned and walked away from Van. Heading out for the lab. 'I am coming so be prepared.' She spoke to thing from before. She headed out ahead of all of them.

She road on till she reached the lab not stopping. She went the long way from the weapon house. She wanted it dark when she got there. Everyone would be a head of her but it did not matter she wanted to be hidden when working. She wanted to kill this thing on her own. She felt obligated to do this even though the rules were no help. She made it there in the pitch black and turned the motor off. She hopped off. Walking to the building pulling out her guns and getting them ready. She moved to the door pushing threw the halls to the same room where she meet the thing from earlier, She re-found it following a close to the same path from earlier. She moved swiftly and opened the doors to a figure standing in the moon light, its black wings stretched out. Her frame became cold she aimed one gun at him.

"Ah you're here." He turned with a look of a psychotic killer. His white hair shown brightly in the moonlight. She remained in her lifeless standings. "You look as if to play my dear Hitomi. It looks to me as if the vampire friend of yours wishes to stop you. But I want my fun with you." He snapped his fingers making two shadows move rapidly to him. Hitomi did not like the situation. "Why don't you play with my half brothers a bit? I am sure they would love playing with you on my behalf." Two Guys about her age stepped out of the dark corners near her. Each had one black wing, and had differences. She guessed one was vampire one was werewolves. "Thank you Dillandau. This shall be most pleasing." "Yes may we play with the other female that is here as well?" "No." Dillandau's looks harden. "You are to scare not harm. Especially do not harm Hitomi." "Then what's the fun with out harm." The one to the left walked closer to her making his nails grow longer. "Heerku, Restrain. You will have your fun with the others. In fact I change my mind kill the others and leave Hitomi to me." Hitomi went a little wide eyed, she moved back bring her guns up to there chests. "You go after them I will follow." Both the men with one wing smiled and moved near each other and merged together. Hitomi was now panicking, and scared. She started running to tell the others. "Bring her back to me." The once two men now stand as one combined man with two wings terrible long fangs and nails. He went after Hitomi with great speed. She was running a good bit ahead of him but he was catching up greatly. He to reach out almost grabbing, her instead gashing her back up. She knew healing time was not great, in fact it took time and using her energy to run would make it a slower process. She fumbled to get the headset out. She finally got it on and turned it on. "VAN!" She yelled. "Hitomi! What's wrong? Where are you?" "Never mind that get out of the building. NOW!!" Van growled. "Van! Don't growl at me. I will have one huge talk with you later if you don't listin. Right now I got a perverted monster behind me.after me and it would be good to get out cause this thing knows the lab better than you. Plus I would rather have you safe than harmed, get it? Don't make me come after you if you don't listen?" "Fine." "One other thing," her voice lightened, "Van, I." The head set was cut off and fell to the ground. Gun shots could be heard and something scream, it was enough for Van to rip the headset off. It was high pitch worse than someone dragging their nails across the chalk board. He hurried everyone out. Hitomi reloaded. The thing was still moving she was surprised. She took off for outside the monster got up moving slower this time but still picking up speed as he healed. She turned the corner and saw a door to the out side and found it looked, she started shooting the lock. It finally broke she about made it till they split into two and one grabbed her. "Zeroku Take her to Dillandau." Hitomi involuntarily started to cry, She thrashed in the guy's arms trying to break free, he had a strong grip around her he was making sure she could not grab her guns or break free. "Calm down or I will have to make you." He stood with her in his arms while his other half went after the others. "It's a shame that we can't play with you. You look much more.entertaining." He breathed on her neck, then breathed in her sent. "Lovely sent you have. I see why Dillandau wants you and you must have something he wants." "If you tell your other half to leave them alone I will go to Dillandau other wise I protest and kick you and break free." He groaned and agreed. She started walking to Dillandau knowing if she went back she would have her friends in danger. She paused for a moment. 'Friends? What am I thinking? Hell they would leave me in a heart beat.'

She went and opened the doors to the room she was not in long ago. She stood looking at a very crossed man. He stood as where he was from before on the other side of the room. "What do you want?" "You to remember." She looked at him very sternly. "You try and you would slowly kill me, I may have immortality but then again I turn into a corps." "Not if I remove the chip." She reached to the back of the neck covering it. "All I have to do is this." He moved his left hand up turning his palm up and she felt the pain from it slowly moving out of her neck. She screamed out in pain. His hand raised till it was out and called it to himself. She dropped to her knees. Her hands hit the ground to hold her self up. It was like a flood of memories and she was drowning in them. She remembered mainly the tragedy. Dillandau smiled his eyes held some of the moons gleam, which made his eyes look more cynical than were before. He brought the metal wires to his mouth licking the blood from them. "Still sweet as every I see my dear Hitomi." She managed to sit up she stared blankly at him. "Remember now Hitomi." "Di.Dillandau" "Come my dear Hitomi." "Where am I? Are we going back to the lab?" She looked like a child. (An: Yes he likes her, he has a thing for Hitomi in this fan fic.) "Hush Hitomi. Rest." He spoke lighter to her in a caring voice. She did as he said and placed her head on his shoulder.

Dillandau moved out of the room to where the others were. He saw the one she cared for and smiled. He spoke to Van with a bit of bragging to his voice. "Hello Van." Van looked over seeing him with Hitomi. Van became in-ragged and was held back by both Draken and Allen. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?" "Van calm down." Allen said loosing grip as Van thrashed to break free from the two holding him. "Removed the chip that was blocking her memories that's all. After all she never wanted to be what she was. To bad she might not remember you, the chip when removed tends to lap the recent memories.Meaning she dose not even know she cared for you." He said smirking and with an even more bragging tone to it. Hitomi moaned in her sleep and Dillandau looked to her then back to Van. "It's time I should leave. I don't need her waking up. Boys take care of them. This time do as you wish." Dillandau turned and Started to fly off. "HITOMI!!" Van screamed he fell to his knees as if broken, the others let go of him. Something in Van snapped Merle felt it and jumped back she became scared. Van's eyes turned a terrible blood read cynical and psychotic as well. He looked up the two guys smirked at each other finding it funny he was going to try against them. Van stood up looking more like an in-ragged animal than anything else. His fangs became extremely long. His hair in a way stood on end. "Thus the Lord of the Dammed once more awakens." Draken looked on a bit fearing. "To this we should all be afraid as great blood shed will come, it will continue till he gets what he wants."

To be continued.
