--REVIEW--
It was the next night, and after making sure Rei wasn't going to go off and stake himself Tala dropped by to see an old friend. He rang the doorbell and a young girl answered. She looked to be the age of sixteen, with light blue eyes, and short royal blue hair wearing a black sweatshirt, and blue sweatpants.
"Oh hi Tala-Chan." She said a smile on her face as she allowed him to walk inside her small apartment and she looked up at him. "I was just about to sit down to evening tea, would you join me? My parents aren't home right now, but they're usually gone this time of night." She said and sat down at the table and Tala sat across from her.
"Working late again eh Rin-kun?" Tala asked.
"Only everyday of their lives." The girl smiled as she poured him tea. "You've been gone lately Tala-chan, I never see you." She said blowing on her tea.
"Sorry, Rei keeps me busy." Tala replied cooling his own tea.
"Rei, the quiet girl?" Rin asked.
"No, Rei is a boy, and who your speaking of is Hikari." Tala replied sipping his tea.
"Oh so he's the mentally unstable one." Rin replied and Tala sweat dropped and scratched the back of his head.
"Not in so many words." He laughed and looked at Rin who sipped her tea with her eyes closed. He had known Rin since she was five, well really only known her since this last year. He rescued her from a group of vampires who wished to kill her. Ever since then he had kept watch of her, always out of sight. Now she had grown to be a lovely young girl, but he still couldn't stop picturing her as the pigtailed blue haired five year old.
Rei sat on the windowsill looking out into the night. He felt his stomach grumble. "You should eat Rei-chan. You will starve yourself to save one miserable human life?" A female voice said.
"I drink only what Tala brings me." Rei whispered. "I only drink it so he'll stop griping." Rei replied and turned to Hikari who sat drinking blood from a wine glass.
"Well this one I just killed isn't bad, try some." She smiled and Rei looked on the blood with hunger.
"I'm not hungry." He said turning away.
"I can smell the lie on you. Rei-chan, don't lie to your big sister." Hikari said walking over.
"Your not my big sister." Rei said looking out.
"Yeah, not by blood, but I've been here almost as long as Tala. I would love it if you looked on me, the way you looked on him. As family, Rei-chan." Hikari said offering him the glass and Rei looked up at her with wide golden eyes, into her silver ones. He couldn't bear to see her begging him to drink. He cared to much for the elder vampire to see her degrade herself because of him.
"Sorry Hikari-san, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." He said taking the blood and Hikari smiled with her eyes closed and ruffled his black hair.
"That's my little Rei-Chan." She said and Rei smiled slightly as he drank the blood hungrily. He was hungrier then he thought. Damn the beast inside of him, he hated who he was. Most of all, he hated who made him this way. He squeezed his eyes shut seeing the crimson eyes and pale skin, with the fangs dripping in blood.
'Kai, you had no right...none to turn me.' He thought staring out at the night. That is why he hated Kai, that is why he'd never forgive him. He pushed his hand against the window as the rain began to pour and Hikari stared at him.
'Rei...what are you hiding behind those sad golden eyes.' She thought staring into his amber orbs as he stared out the window into the rain.
"I must hunt." She said getting up and Rei nodded mutely and she touched his face and he jerked back in shock and she recoiled as if he had slapped her. "Rei..." She whispered and turned away and walked out the door.
The rain poured as Kai looked up at the sky his fangs growing in his mouth as he stalked his prey. A young girl, definitely not a virgin, he crept along and jumped down grabbing her by the hair and jerked her back sinking his teeth into her flesh and drinking the blood that flowed and when she was near death he pulled away and threw her to the ground and she looked up at him with golden brown eyes black hair falling in her face as she grasped her neck staring up at him. The look on her face was that of fear and hatred. Those eyes, he had seen them before.
Those eyes...they haunted his nightmares.
He turned away and looked down at his hand.
"Monster..." He heard her whisper and he turned to her his eyes glowing red.
"You want to see what a monster is!" He roared grabbing her by the throat and a scream echoed in the night. He was left standing with blood dripping down his body as the rain poured down on him washing it from his body and to the ground and he turned walking away.
--
Rei felt an arrow whiz past his face and he dropped to the ground and heard yelling and cursing and he walked towards a clearing where three hunters surrounded a boy a little older then him with two toned hair. He had royal blue hair in back, and silvery blue bangs. He had three arrows through his body already, one in his leg, one in his shoulder, and the third in his stomach.
A fourth arrow was sent into his arm as he fell to the ground roaring like a savage beast as blood dripped from his mouth and Rei watched as the hunters bashed him in the back of the head and walked off leaving him for dead.
As soon as they were gone Rei ran over and crouched down checking his pulse. His skin was cold, and he had no heartbeat, his mouth hung open slightly as blood dripped from it and Rei peered seeing the moon light glinting off two white fangs.
"So he's the one." Rei whispered and dropped him backing up staring at the body. He lay so peaceful under the moonlight and Rei stared at him.
'He's so beautiful, how can someone with such an angelic face be evil.' He wondered and walked to him bending down and sweeping the silver-blue hair from the pale and dirty face. This was not the face of a monster. He wrapped his arms around him and picked him up. 'He needs my help. I can't leave him for the sun to consume. He's human after all.' Rei thought as he carried the body back to the caves deep in the forest.
--
"Don't you think you went a little overboard?" Hiro asked as Kai walked past him.
"She deserved it, I didn't like the way she looked at me." He said and Hiro turned to him and walked to the bloody body of the girl and crossed her in the air and he sensed something behind him and turned around seeing a young woman standing on the building staring down at him with silver eyes. He blinked and she was gone and he walked forward. He never felt right. He worked along with one of the most demonic vampires, Kai Hiwatari. He had ravaged and killed more then the hunters could keep track of. He was the worst of the worst, but, he was also one of the best allies Hiro had.
Hiro walked along in the night and felt someone walking behind him and he turned around to see a girl standing there looking shocked at him, silver eyes behind black rimmed glasses and long violet hair in a loose braid.
"May I help you?" Hiro asked and the girl stared up at him as the rain fell around him.
"You dropped this." She said handing him a crucifix by the chain and Hiro took it. "Do I know you?" He asked.
"Maybe you should." She said reaching up and touching his forehead.
--
"Ozuma-kun! Watch out!" Hikari screamed as a hunter with long light blue hair stood in front of them with a crossbow. It fired straight into Ozumas heart and he fell to the ground. Hikari fell to the ground beside him as he closed his eyes going into a deep slumber. The hunter walked up taking out his sword and showed a cross on a chain to her and she stumbled back.
The hunter raised the sword over his head and sliced off the head of the vampire. Hikari screamed attacking him as the sword went through her stomach and she dropped to the ground staring up into his brown eyes. The sword was removed and she fell to the ground unconscious.
--
Hiro stared down at her and she pulled away.
"Your an ancient." He whispered and she stared back. An ancient vampire was one who was turned by Dracula and they were gifted with powers on top of the powers of a normal vampire.
"Precisely." She whispered showing her fangs. "You stole my husband from me Hiro, I shall take something dear from you as well." She said staring up at him.
"Your husband was nothing but a murderer. He tortured young women, burned them alive in their beds. Women with child." Hiro said his eyes narrowing darkly at the memory of Ozuma.
"I never said he was perfect, but I loved him." Hikari said and turned to him. "Why didn't you kill me?" She asked and Hiro stared down at her and she extended her hand and pressed it against his chest. She leaned forward brushing her lips against his. "Was it my feminine charm?" She asked and pushed him back sending him flying into a car. He smashed through the wind shield and he held his ribs as he sat up.
She walked to him and leaned over staring into his eyes. "Tell me Hiro, who do you hold most dear." She demanded as she pressed her fingers to his head and his eyes went white as did hers and she closed her eyes and smirked.
"A little brother." She smirked and Hiro took out a stake and stabbed it into her chest just below her heart. "You missed." She said taking out the stake. "I've lived for three thousand years, this game of hunter and vampire is old to me." She said as the wound in her chest closed.
"He was the only one I ever loved, in all my years of darkness, he was my light and you took him from me. Now I shall bathe your world in darkness." She said and spread out her arms jumping on top of a building and disappearing into the night.
"Tyson." Hiro whispered and stood up. "I have to get back." He ran towards the hideout.
--
Rei pressed a cool cloth against the vampires face and mopped up the blood and turned to bandage his arm and suddenly the red eyes flew open and the vampire lashed out at him, weakly, but strong enough to scare Rei who stared at him. The vampire growled like a savage beast as he held his arm.
"You need to be bandaged." The glowing red eyes stared at him as they searched for a way out and Rei crawled towards him. "C'mon, give me your arm." He said holding out his hand and the vampire hissed at him extending his fangs so they were black and at least an inch long. "Stop it! You can't scare me!" Rei shouted and the vampire stared at him, his fangs going back to normal.
"Now give me you arm." He said and the creature stared at him his eyes going back to a normal glow and he slowly extended his arm and Rei smiled sweetly and took it grabbing the bandage. "My names Rei Kon, what's yours?" Rei asked staring up at him with innocent golden eyes. The vampire did not answer. "Or do vampires have names? Should I call you Vampire-san? Or, Mr. Fang." Rei giggled and the quiet red eyes stared at him. "I know, Fang-san!" Rei grinned and the red eyes narrowed and he growled. "Kai." He whispered and Rei stared up at him and smiled.
"Do you have a last name?" He asked and Kai glared and Rei smiled. "Kai is good enough for me." He smiled and Kai stared at him as he bandaged his wounds. "Here I brought you some blood." Rei said handing over a bowl and Kai grabbed it downing it and spat some out.
"Pigs blood." He hissed.
"Well I'm not going to go out and kill someone just for you." Rei glared and Kai stared at him. "You drink it and get your health back. Then go pillaging. But I'm not your mom." Rei glared.
"Who the hell do you think you are!" Kais snarled and grabbed his head feeling dizzy as he fell over.
"I already told you. Your very weakened, so just rest." Rei said standing up and grabbing some more clean bandages and turned to him. "C'mon I need to bandage your head." He smiled and Kai was already asleep and Rei sat next to him. "I like you better when you're asleep." Rei smiled and Kai slept soundly, looking almost innocent.
--
Rei sat on the edge of the roof and breathed in the night air and smelled a familiar scent, somewhat masked by rain and blood. He stood up looking around and turned around peering through the rain and darkness. No, that smell, it couldn't have been him. He had watched him burn alive.
He turned around and saw through the darkness two crimson eyes staring at him. A cold entered his stomach and he felt an electric shock go through his system and everything went black as he fell back spiraling head first to the ground.
--
Tala walked through the city when suddenly heard screams and he looked up to see a boy with long black hair falling to the ground at a fast rate and he ran forward and caught him in his arms as he fell to the ground and looked up to see two red eyes staring down at them and he stared down at Rei and back up to see the red eyes gone and he looked ahead to see Rin standing there with a bag of groceries. He had left her place hours ago. She ran over to him.
"Tala-chan, is that Rei-san?" Rin asked staring down at the unconscious boy.
"Rin, you shouldn't..." Tala began and Rin put her smaller hand on top of his.
"C'mon Tala-chan. I think I can help him." She smiled and Tala bit his lip. He couldn't leave her here, not after she seen what she had seen. He'd take her with, and try not to reveal the secret he had kept from her for many years.
Hikari sat on the bed sipping blood from her wine glass and sat up as the door opened and Tala walked in carrying Rei who was knocked out. "Did he try to kill himself again?" Hikari asked and saw Rin peek her head around and she nearly coughed up the blood she had just drank. "Who is she? Dessert?" Hikari asked and Rin stared at her confused.
"No, this is my friend, Rin." Tala said and Rin smiled and waved.
"You must be Hikari-san." Rin said. "I can tell because your wearing reading glasses. Tala said you were the smartest person he knew." She said and Hikari stared at her and looked over at Tala.
"I do like her, where'd you find her?" She asked and Tala set Rei down on the bed.
"He's lucky he survived. Tala, that was amazing how you caught him and your both safe." Rin smiled.
"Ah the naivety of humanity." Hikari said sipping from her wine glass.
"Tala didn't tell me you were a drunk." Rin said tipping her head to the side.
"Why you insolent human!" Hikari growled and Rin hid behind Tala and Tala turned to her.
"Maybe it's better if you leave." He said and Rin stared up at him and looked at Rei.
"I want to talk to him." Rin said and Hikari stood up.
"Talk to him, you don't know enough about him to talk to him. Just leave here." Hikari said and Rin stared at her and stood up to her, staring right into her face.
"I think I can help him." She said and Tala put a hand on her shoulder and she turned to him with wide blue eyes. "Please Tala. Trust me." She whispered taking his hand and Hikari rolled her eyes knowing the girl would get her way. This was going to be a long night.
It was a few hours later that Rei awoke holding his head. He felt as if he had been hit by a truck and he winced as he sat up. It couldn't have been true, but his scent didn't lie. Rei had memorized that scent, and maybe as a mortal he could've been wrong, but as a vampire, no. There wasn't any doubt that the scent belonged to Kai.
"Rei." He turned to see a girl, a mortal by the smell of her.
"My names Rin, you must be Rei-san." Rin said holding out her hand and Rei stared at her.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"I'm Tala-chans friend." Rin smiled and Rei gave a weak smile in return.
"I saw you fall, Tala says your depressed. What's the matter?" She asked staring up at him and he stared down at her and she smiled at him and he stared at her.
'What's this girl want from me?' He wondered and she smiled.
"You can tell me, I mean who am I going to tell?" She asked and Rei stared at her.
"I saw an old friend, and I fainted. I haven't seen him for a very long time, and I thought he was dead." Rei replied and she stared at him.
"Wow, how long has it been?" She asked.
"Oh about two hundred years." Rei said and the girl laughed and Rei smiled slightly wishing it was only a joke.
"Wow, so it was good to see him?" She asked. "I have mixed feelings." Rei said looking down at a silver ring around his finger, with a small diamond in the middle.
--
"It's wonderful." Rei whispered looking at the ring.
"It was given to me by Lady Godalia, a noblewoman in Russia, my birthplace." Kai said and Rei stared at him.
"Wow, it's amazing." Rei whispered and handed it back to Kai and Kai grabbed his hand.
"You really like it?" He asked and Rei nodded. "It's yours." He smiled and Rei stared at him.
"Kai, this is..." He started and Kai slipped it on his finger.
"Perfect, just like you." Kai kissed his forehead and pulled away and Rei hugged him.
"Thank you." He whispered and Kai held him close as they sat underneath the moonlit sky.
--
"You're in love." Rin whispered and Rei stared at her shocked. "The look on your face when you went silent. It's like you were remembering the person you love most in the world." Rin smiled and Rei blinked and looked down at his ring.
"That was a long time ago." He whispered. "In a different time and place." Rin stared at him and smiled gently with a look only an unknowledgeable mortal could give.
"Love is a strange thing huh Rei-san. You don't know it happened till it's there, and when you have it your not even sure what to do with it, and when you don't have it you feel like your lost without it. Rei-san, your lost." Rin said.
"You've known me for five minutes and you have deduced all that?" Rei asked and Rin stood up and smiled at him.
"You have lovely eyes Rei-san, I don't believe I've ever seen any quite so lovely. They are like open windows." She said getting up and going to the other room where Tala and Hikari sat and Tala walked over. Rin smiled at Tala. "Rei-sans okay, he just seen someone he hasn't seen in awhile. Someone he loves." Rin said and Tala stared down at her.
Rei was in love? But with who? Rei always acted like he was the victim of some dramatic unrequited love, and always wishing for death to take him, but Tala had never really heard him mention anything like being in love.
"I'm…very tired." Rin said stretching and yawning and Tala looked out the window to see that the sun was slowly rising. It was a good idea for them all to get some rest but first he had to make sure Rei was okay. He walked into the room where Rei sat staring at the ring on his finger.
"Rei, are you okay man?" Tala asked and Rei looked up and nodded.
"I'm fine. It's been two hundred years." Rei whispered. "The memories seem like yesterday it's hard to believe two centuries have passed, but it's true." He said.
"Your still pretty young for a vampire." Tala said walking over and sitting down next to Rei.
"Does the girl know?" Rei asked.
"No." Tala replied and Rei sighed looking up.
"Who exactly did you see anyway?" Tala asked.
"An old..." Rei stopped. "The vampire that turned me into what I am." Rei whispered.
"Rin said you are in love." Tala said.
"Was...a long time ago. When I was still a mortal." Rei whispered and closed his eyes. "I'm weary." Rei said sitting back and blinking his eyes open.
"Were you in love with the person who turned you?" Tala asked and Rei closed his eyes.
"I'm very tired, can we talk about this tomorrow?" Rei asked and Tala nodded and pushed back Reis bangs from his eyes and kissed his forehead.
"Goodnight, Rei-kun." He said and Rei closed his eyes falling asleep. Rei never let anyone but Tala get near to him. He absolutely dreaded being touched, and he never explained why but Tala always figured that was just a thing with him. He never let anyone get close to him.
Tala was the only one that knew Rei the most, and he didn't even know him all that well. Only that he had a dark past, and he would rather not talk about it. When they first met, Rei used to cry, a lot. Tala had known him for almost two hundred years and he still had not penetrated even the surface of Reis past, only what little the boy would give out.
He walked to the other room and saw Rin curled up on a small cot fast asleep. "This girl sleeps much like a log." Hikari said and headed over to the sewer entrance. "I must visit Voltaire, I have much to speak with him about." Hikari said and Tala looked at her.
"Why do you get yourself messed up with that guy anyway?" He asked.
"We are tied together, in a way you wouldn't understand." Hikari said and Tala shook his head.
"I'll never understand you. My closest friends I hardly know anything about." He said stuffing his hands in his pockets and Hikari shrugged.
"What about you Tala, what's your past?" She asked and Tala stared at her and she smiled.
"That's what I thought." She said and walked over and jumped down into the sewers and Tala stood over Rin watching her sleep and her short blue hair brushing against her neck and he swallowed hard. How could he be around a mortal, when he was such a demon. He saw her as the little five year old he rescued with shining light blue eyes and blue hair wrapped in pigtails. He needed her to go home, because at this closeness, he didn't know what his inner demon would do.
