Chapter 6
As they flew through the night, Amu glanced around. Nothing looked familiar to her. She looked over to her left and found a patch of forest that was completely black. It looked burnt yet Amu could see the leaves clear as day. However, the leaves were black.
" Why is that area black?"
Hikari stopped in mid-air and floated in place. She looked over at the area then quickly looked back.
" It's an area where you must never go. Understand?" Amu nodded. Hikari seemed a bit scared of the area. She sped off and Amu raced to catch up with her. Then they saw bright lights and Hikari smiled. " There it is."
Hikari dived down into a clearing a little ways away from the lights. Amu followed. She was nervous and her throat was burning.
" You okay?"
Amu nodded weakly and then followed Hikari. She led her through the forest until they got to a man. This man had the head of a pig.
"Evening Raidon."
Raidon grunted then stared at Amu.
" This your pupil?" His voice was gruff and deep.
" That she is Raidon. This is Hinamori Amu."
" I-It's nice to meet you…"
Amu wasn't sure why she was so nervous, but Hikari just chuckled. Raidon grunted and let them pass. They had heard chatter before but it immediately stopped once Hikari and Amu entered the clearing.
"Who's that with you Hikari?"
"This is my pupil, Hinamori Amu."
Everyone started talking at once. Amu couldn't make sense of all of it but she did get things like,
"She's a disgrace. Couldn't bear having black hair."
There were other comments but Hikari dragged her to a table and sat her down. There were other creatures sitting at the table. One of them was….
" T-Tadase-kun?"
Tadase turned his head around and looked at her. He frowned and shook his head.
"I thought so."
"You know the little prince?" ( Note: Since there are no charas, he doesn't react the same way with that word)
"How many times must I ask you not to call me that?"
"You were my pupil once upon a time. I can call you whatever I choose to."
Tadase rolled his eyes then looked back at Amu. " I thought there was something different about you."
Amu laughed nervously " Yeah I guess there is something very different about me."
Tadase watched her carefully. Then he sat up straight scowling.
"Oh great. We have the Tsukiyomi family at our table." (Insert fan girl squeals here…)
"Oh be nice Hotori. They're not so bad." A wolf growled beside him.
"Might I remind you that they have slain many werewolves in their time Mabuchi."
Mabuchi was quiet. Amu looked behind her to see who Tadase was looking at. Three people were coming towards their table. One was a female and the other two were males. Amu couldn't help but stare at the youngest looking one. He looked around Amu's own age. His features made him look like a vampire, but the blue cat ears and tail threw off the fact he wasn't a vampire at all. And not only was his tail and ears blue, So was his hair. His eyes, from what she could see, were a midnight blue.
" Why hello Mabuchi, Jakku, Raichu, Janin, Baiko, Jei, Aeri, Tadase, and Hikari! How nice it is to see you again Hikari," The older man said.
Hikari shook his hand and smiled.
" Nice to see you again too Kazuomi."
Kazuomi smiled and then turned to Amu. His smile disappeared and he made a disgusted face.
"Who is this?" The way he asked the question made it seem like he was talking about something dirty.
"This is my new pupil, Hinamori Amu."
"Your pupil? I didn't think you were taking on any more pupils. And I have never heard of the family name Hinamori."
"Oh Kazuomi dear, enough. Just take your seat," The woman-his wife- said calmly.
" But Souko darling-."
Souko just shook her head and Kazuomi sighed and sat down across from Hikari. His wife sat down beside him and the younger one sat on the other side of Kazuomi, right across from Amu.
"I am sorry, Where are my manners. I'm Tsukiyomi Souko."
Souko stuck a graceful had out towards Amu, who shook her hand and smiled.
" I'm Hinamori Amu."
"And where abouts are your parents Hinamori-san?"
"Lay off, will you, father," the youngest one-the son as Amu guess- sighed.
He smirked at Amu. If vampires could blush she would be red in the face right now. This young man was extremely gorgeous. He looked like a model. Amu swore she was blushing, 'cause he just smirked wider.
"A-And your name is?"
"Ikuto. Tsukiyomi Ikuto."
" N-Nice to meet you Ikuto."
Just then everyone was quiet and they faced the front. A man in an old robe stood up and smiled at everyone.
" Welcome all. I am so happy you could all come," the man's loud voice boomed through the area. " We are here because I felt like throwing a little get together to introduce Hikari's new pupil. So please stand up Hinamori-san."
Amu got to her feet. Everyone stared at her. She gulped and smiled at them. She sat down quickly and looked back at the man.
"Thank you. Now I am so sorry about you having to be a vampire. But I hope you are somewhat happy."
"I-I am."
The man beamed. "Well then that's great! Everyone can now enjoy food and chat amongst your tables."
" Who was that?" Amu asked Hikari once people started talking and moving around.
" That was Sato Katsu. He is the head of the council. His bat's name is Himitsu."
"And who's the man with Dia?"
Hikari pointed to the man beside Katsu. " That's Sato Isao. Katsu's younger brother."
Amu nodded and stared at the rest of the council. Those two were vampires. There was an ogre, a unicorn, a werewolf , a little light that Amu guessed was a fairy, and an elf that made up the rest of the council.
A waiter came around and asked what everyone wanted. Hikari ordered for herself and Amu. "Just the regular for me and Amu."
The waiter nodded then got the rest of the orders. A few minutes later a waiter came back with a coffee pot containing blood and two plates. It looked like some sort of meat and sides.
"It's just chicken with a wine sauce. There's also veggies and rice." Hikari noted as the plates were set down in front of them.
The waiter poured the liquid into the mugs then walked away. Kazuomi looked at Hikari
"You still don't hunt at theses things?"
"I don't want to rip my dress."
Kazuomi and his wife got up. He looked over at Ikuto."Are you coming boy?"
" No. I think I won't hunt this time."
Kazuomi huffed then walked away. Ikuto turned his attention to Amu and smiled. A waiter came up and Ikuto placed an order for what Amu and Hikari had. While he waited, he just stared at Amu.
"Don't you usually hunt at these events Tsukiyomi Ikuto?" Tadase asked, venom dripping from his words.
"Yes but I decided to try something new, Tadase-kun" Tadase glared at Ikuto. Ikuto took no notice and looked directly at Amu. "So you were changed by Kuro-san is that correct?"
" Yes. But it was an accident."
Ikuto looked rather interested at that. "What do you mean?"
" It's none of your business Tsukiyomi Ikuto."
"Tadase! That's not your place to say. She can tell him if she chooses to."
Tadase huffed and turned back to his food. Amu smiled at Hikari then explained what happened to her.
"That's because Hikari never had much control on things. Ain't that right Hikari!" Kazuomi exclaimed, sitting back down in his seat.
Hikari smiled at him but said nothing. Amu could tell Hikari was mad about the comment but she didn't say anything.
"So where are your bats?"
"Not here. Hunting."
Souko came back to her seat as well and sat down. She and Hikari got into a conversation and Kazuomi was pulled away by another vampire to discuss some things. Tadase scoffed in disgust and left with Mabuchi. The rest of the creatures stayed in their place but were engaged in their own conversations.
"So do you go to school?" Amu asked the catboy.
"Yes. But it's a school for vampires. How about you? Do they have a school for vampires around here?"
" No. I go to the same school I was in before. I like it there and I couldn't bear leaving my friends."
" Oh? Don't you ever feel like sucking the humans' blood?"
" No! Of course not! I go out every night and hunt. Deer."
Ikuto smiled.
"You're very strong, Amu. I hunt animals now but before was….different."
Amu just nodded and kept eating. She liked having the blood in her cup. It made it so much easier. She couldn't help but stare at his ears though. He said he went to a vampire school, yet here were cat ears and tail all the same.
"S-So do you live near here?"
"No. It took us two days to get here. Why? Interested in coming over sometime?"
"N-No! I was just curious…"
Ikuto chuckled and leaned closer. "You sure you wouldn't want to? I could teach you so many things you didn't know..."
"P-PERVERT!"
Ikuto started to laugh. "So where do you live Amu. Somewhere nearby?"
"Yeah…it only took an hour or so to fly here…"
"That must be nice…small town?"
"Yep! Though that's probably not your style huh?"
"Who knows."
" Well maybe you can come by and visit me sometime," the words were out of her mouth before she had a chance to think about it. She swore on her life that she was as red as a tomato.
Amu took her glass and swallowed some more liquid. Something brushed against her thigh, causing her to squeak. Ikuto started to laugh.
"I noticed you've been staring at my ear. Curious?"
"Yes! …I mean…a bit…maybe…"
Ikuto smirked. "Well-," suddenly all was quiet. People started getting out of their seats. Hikari came over and tapped Amu on the shoulder. Ikuto's smirk dropped. "Some other time then."
" Amu, time to go."
" Really?"
" Yep. These parties are boring. Come on, we're flying back with the little prince!"
" Stop calling me that."
Hikari rolled her eyes and walked away. Amu turned to the blue haired boy.
" W-Well I guess I'll see you some other time."
" Yes. I'll see you some other time. I can't wait for out next encounter," Ikuto said with a breath-taking smile.
" Let's go," Tadase growled and pulled Amu away.
Amu waved goodbye to Ikuto then turned her attention to Tadase. "You can let go of me now."
Tadase ignored her and dragged her off to the clearing. Other vampires and vampiras were departing from this area. Miki was sitting on Hikari's shoulder waiting for her.
" Hey Miki. Can you attack Tadase-kun for me?" Miki squeaked but didn't move. "Traitor."
Tadase released Amu's arm and turned around. "Kiseki, come here!"
A black bat came flying over to Tadase. He petted the bat lovingly then jumped into the air. He floated a few inches off the ground. Hikari was doing the same.
"Don't worry Amu-chan! You'll learn how to do this in due time."
Tadase started snickering and Amu threw a rock at him. It hit him in the head and shattered into a million pieces.
"That wasn't very nice."
Amu growled then put her hand on Miki's back. She jumped up into the air and waited for the other people to catch up to her. She was hovering in place until they reached her.
"You taught her how to hover already?"
"No. She just did it herself."
Amu smirked and Tadase frowned. Then he smiled and began to float upside down.
"Show off."
Hikari laughed then began to fly back towards her house. Amu and Tadase followed, then eventually they got ahead because they were racing. They reached Hikari's house before her. Tadase was still racing Amu, but he ended up crashing into the pool of water the waterfall flowed into. Amu landed beside the pond and fell down laughing. Tadase got up but fell down again. Amu started laughing harder and louder. Hikari landed beside her and began to laugh as well.
"You have go to be the only vampire I know that falls down, little prince."
Tadase stood up again and grumbled something that sounded like " Stupid girls.". Amu got up and extended a hand to help him out of the pond. Tadase took her hand then pulled her in. She crashed into the water and her whole body got soaked.
"You're such a jerk!"
Tadase was sitting in the water beside her. Hikari was still laughing. She grabbed both of their hands and pulled them up. "You two are funny."
Tadase and Amu looked at each other then they pulled Hikari into the pool. She faced them, her hair dripping wet and her make-up smudged. She glared at the two and they started laughing.
"You're both horrible." Hikari said using her French accent.
Tadase and Amu high-fived then ran away when Hikari got out of the pool.
"I'm not going to kill you. Come inside and get dried off," Hikari waved them towards the house.
The two walked in and got towels from the upstairs bathroom.
" I have to change," Amu went into the other bedroom. She took of the wet dress and threw on her jeans and sweater.
When she came out Tadase was leaning against the wall. He had changed into a white t-shirt and jeans. "You ready to go?"
Amu nodded then yelled a goodbye to Hikari. Miki flew onto her shoulder. Kiseki was hovering above Tadase.
"I've never seen your bat on your shoulder," Amu commented as the walked onto the porch.
"He doesn't really like staying in one place for long unless he's sleeping."
Amu was silent until the got to the path. "Wanna race?"
" You're on."
" Okay. Ready. Set. GO!"
Both of them ran off down the path. They were both equally fast but Amu decided to use her full potential and got ahead. She stopped when she got to the end of the path. She waited for Tadase to catch up with her. He stopped in front of her and frowned.
"Looks like I win."
Tadase stuck his tongue out at her then began to walk out. Amu followed him.
"How about I drive you?"
" Sure."
Amu yawned and Tadase chuckled and they went to his car, which was parked a little ways away from the path. As soon as they got in, Amu started a conversation.
"So you get the night off when you have to go to these parties. And Nadeshiko told me that you go out every night for an hour or so. That's to hunt right?"
"Yep. Nadeshiko-sama is a bit too observant some days. She's been noticing the wildlife disappearing from around her house lately. I've taken to flying away from her house to hunt. She's still suspicious of me though, and of you too."
Amu thought for a moment then spoke."How old are you?"
"Like when I was turned or how long I've been a vampire?"
"Both."
"Alright. I've only been a vampire for forty years. I was your age when I was turned."
"You're only 16?"
"Well technically 56. But that's in total of human years and vampire years."
"You don't look 16. You like in your twenties!"
" Thanks a lot."
"Sorry. But you do. And your license says your 25. Did you fake your age for your license?"
"Yes. Yes I did. You'll have to as well. Maybe," Tadase stopped the car in front of her house.
Amu stepped out but kept the door open. "So are you still going to take us camping next weekend?"
"Sure. No problem."
Amu smiled and shut the door. She waved goodbye and watched him drive off. Amu walked into her house and flopped down on her bed. She was too tired to change her clothes so she just fell asleep in what she was wearing. Miki hovered over her master for a while before opening the window and flying out into the night.
Short chapter, I know. But I need to do a little more plotting. See, if I followed along EXACTLY like to book said, it'd be Tadamu…So I have to change it around. So I have to skip a few chapters to get into a different then go to another one…and yeah….tis confusing. But I'm working on it!
You'll notice that Tadase's personality is a little different. Well, I have to make him like that and I don't think most people will complain! If you do, whatever. I needed to make him a little more serious and fun loving and not so….ya know, childish and innocent.
