When I awoke in the morning, I surprised to see that the little vampire was still asleep in my lap, in the same position as it was the night before. I smiled and yawned, picking up the boy as I walked out of the tent. It moved and squirmed a little because of the sudden movement, but was still deep in sleep. I mounted my horse and held the thing in my coat, as we road through the rain to the palace. When we got there, I set the thing on its feet; I surprised to find it awake already. How nice. It stretched and yawned gently, making sure not to move too swiftly. The boy smiled and took my hands, running through the palace gates. I didn't even have time to marvel at the rooms or corridors because we were moving so fast. I heard something calling what seemed to be a name.
"Subaru! Subaru!" The other called. It was the toys twin. That must have been his name. Subaru. I liked it. The name had a nice ring to it. Following the boy came a woman who resembled the little toy more than the other. It was almost uncomfortable.
"Mother, this man saved me! I was lost and he came to help me. He's so nice! Please, came we let him stay here?" It pleaded. It was a wonder how those eyes lighted up so quickly. I shook my head and told the woman that it was unnecessary to thank me. She shook her head, mirroring what I did, and told me to stay. She was a very beautiful vampire indeed. I wondered how this would plan out. She showed me to my room and invited me for breakfast. I gladly agreed and followed her down stairs to the dining hall. My eyes were locked on the boy the entire time. I didn't even eat. I watched that pale figure go through his daily routine. The mother noticed and directed my attention toward herself. She said he name was Hokuto. I smiled. It was charming for a lady such as herself.
"My name is Seishiro." I told her.
