Mori no Vampire
Hey to you all! I accidentally deleted the first version of this, comp got a virus that didn't let me do anything (I missed myspace) and I changed some stuff last minute.
Tsunami: *yawns* Wow, it was forever since you wrote some of this,
Me: I know, I know, I'm sorry. I actually have a life and it keeps me busy. Plus I have been…okay I got super bored with this and I'm not so sure where I should take this.
V. Moka: *bitch slaps me*
Me: T-T Do all writers have this issue?!
V. Moka: Now read my story.
Tsunami: It isn't yours!
V. Moka: So what?!
*V. Moka & Tsunami fight*
Me: *laughs while running away* Oh my god I forgot how fun it was to write this.
By the by, Im working on a crapload of other stories for some people… So I wont be totally obsessed with writing this.
The morning sky settled my racing mind. Too many things I had to worry about. This wasn't how I was supposed to behave. Because I am a vampire and a Dark Lord, I need to have total control of myself. I stood regretfully and looked around.
"I need to suck it up," I mumbled to myself. I sat in a nearby and checked if anyone was around once more.
You're losing your grip! Maybe something to work on… I'll call Shuzen later. For now - No! - do not think of that now! I'll patrol the south like normal… As a Dark Lord I have the right to check on the school…
Nothing helped. All my thoughts returned to something that made my heart hurt. I slid out of the tree and walked towards my car slowly. I opened the door and grabbed the keys from the glove compartment.
You're pathetic, said a voice that sounded like my voice but bloodthirsty.
Who in the hell are you?
I am you. Let's skip the confusing part: I took over and drank Mizore's blood.
Well you can't be me cuz I wouldn't do that. And I was me then I wasn't locked I could feel everything.
Wrong. Hm, let's just say I'm the more chaotic you per se. How the hell do I explain this? Okay, Moka and… There was a long pause while the visitor looked for the right word. The other Moka, they aren't like this, no this is totally different. We are exactly the same person, neither of us is an illusion. I've just been gone forever because you LONER didn't do crap to release me.
Release you?
Ugh, when our family died I should've come out but you blocked your anger to hope when Shuzen came. I waited ages to let myself out, your confusion of the blood tablets let me pull out when we needed blood.
I've never heard of there being another part of a person.
Easy, think of me as the opposite of a conscious, I live off of anger, hate, fury, lust, and Revenge is my middle name.
My middle name is Hikari.
It's a freakin metaphor! Back to the point, if you let me come out like I should have you'd be fine. Other monsters just have a refined sense of all my- or our - emotions but you waited so long I'm stuck here.
Come again.
Do I have to spell it all out!? Under normal circumstances I would just blend into your head but I'm so condensed now that for a while I'll be talking to you.
Crap.
I started the car and drove with no destination. My lands were boring and dull. Well my place was fine. The rest of the south may not be. I drove some more and found nothing in particular. That's what I get for living in the barely populated south. "Screw it all."
I parked at a library. Not something I would've come to if I was feeling normal. Some people bowed respectfully and I just grimaced. I wasn't looking for a book. There was a leather chair that I planted my ass on. A librarian walked up to me. She looked like she was in her twenties and I could tell she was a dog demon. The ears and tail kinda gave it away.
"Dark Lord Kuro, is there anyway I my help you?" she asked.
I was about to say no when I got an idea. "Actually, do you have a private computer?"
"Yes, if you'll follow me, Dark Lord Kuro."
I followed her to a giant room split up into four rooms. She bowed and left.
"Here goes nothing."
I sat down and turned on the computer on. It only took a few seconds to get to where I needed. I went on my personal file on the Dark Lord Association Cabinet. My password and username were typed in quickly.
Kuro forest file, regressed vampires, death of Kuro Charles, Jade, Xavier and Haru were the key words I used.
Two main files interested me: Kuro Family Outing Tragedy and New Forest Creatures and Kuro Family Death, I clicked on the one about my forest.
As it would seem; Kuro is located in the south. Shuzen has told the committee that she watches over a forest that is a danger to all monsters.
"I trust her and she will do an excellent job," were his words. Kuro is relatively new and if the rumors are true then maybe Kuro isn't the best for the job. The committee agrees on her living there and guarding the forest. This meeting wasn't told to the female Dark Lord.
There was a whole meeting on whether or not I was going to live in the south! Enraged, I read some more. I knew I should've checked the site out like I was supposed to. Shuzen thought my incompetence thought of the Cabinet would protect his secrete as it would seem.
The tragedy that took most of the Kuro Family is kept secret by Kuro's and Shuzen's wishes. The Kuro family was taken by what Shuzen declares as regressed vampires. Click here for more info.
I clicked there.
The "regressed vampires" are vicious. There was another case of this in northern China. They are unlike anything ever. Brutal and careless. The regression seems to be a mental state. When a vampire is in solitude for too long and there is no contact whatsoever. In the forest of Kuro's there seems to be two types of these vampires: the regressed and a more modern (but not by society's standards) vampire. None of the other Dark Lords have told Kuro to avoid her being too late to react if it came to a bigger war.
"We need to keep her on the offense. If she thinks about whether or not they are the regressed or not it may be fatal," said Tadashi (or also known as the Exorcist from Yokai Academy).
The regressed vampires are frequently mixed up with the less modern vampires. Many researches prove that Kuro is unstable and cannot be told. Not physically but emotionally and she cannot be told at such an unwise age.
I couldn't read anymore. My head was spinning. There was a secret kept from me! I spent all my time guarding that damned forest to avenge my family's honor! So much I needed to do now. And then there's the more personal area of my life… Damn.
I looked up other files that had do with my new life. Vampire mating, rules and regulations were the words I chose while cringing.
There are few rules to vampire mating. If the vampire chose the mate then he or she must take proper responsibility. If not then they must comply (few excuses) and treat their new mate with respect. Because vampires are high in prestige and few they may have more than one mate.
I all but died. So there was no way I could remove them. I scrolled down some more. But it pretty much told me why Shuzen has had so many mates. I shuddered at the thought and pushed it out of my mind.
There is no law saying that vampires can't have homosexual mate-ships. After all, other monsters have this right.
I scrolled down again.
There is only one way to execute mate-ships. Although, it will cause excruciating pain to both parties. It is advised to not use it.
I read the way to delete the mate-ship. I may want to get rid of them but the procedure was too much. I logged off and shut the computer off. Coming here did me no good. I thanked the librarian and sat in my car.
What to do, what to do? I thought. Might as well go back home… I started the car and drove home slowly.
You are so dull.
I jumped at the unfamiliar intrusion. Leave me alone.
Do no understand how lucky we are? You have four girls willing to get down and dirty with you and you don't want to!
Not my fault and I'm not like that, unlike you I don't live off lust.
Who are you trying to fool!? We are vampires goddamnit! We all live off lust.
Nope, I'll just stick to fighting in the dojo and perhaps dodge the others.
Dull.
There was silence I my head and that relieved me.
The familiar road that led to my castle felt foreign. I could see the girls (Kurumu, Moka, Nana and Mizore) standing on the stairs. Looks like Mizore got better. Nonetheless, I felt relieved she was fine.
I parked and exited the car. But not before grabbing a scarf from the backseat. Being a slob was useful. I wrapped it around my neck and stood still. They piled on me. Literally.
I was pressed against the car, suffocated. I couldn't see who was where and some places that shouldn't be touched in public were being touched. "Need…to-"my breathy sentence was cut off when someone bit my neck.
Hold on to me love
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was I love you
And I'm not afraid (Ahhh)
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight
"Holy hell!" I shouted. I wiggled free and found Nana biting my neck. "Nana," I growled. She detached herself from me and smiled innocently.
Moka on the other hand looked like she knew the answer to something. She probably did. "Understand?" she asked.
I arched a brow questioningly. "Understand what, Moka?"
She caressed my cheek. "We drink from you."
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, I kind of already know that."
Now Moka looked annoyed. Oopsie.
"You drank from Mizore," she said.
I flinched and looked away. Why I didn't have control during that incident was still unknown to me. I felt ice claws grab my arm. Slowly, I turned my head to face them. "I am sorry about that, Mizore."
She smiled at me. "On the contrary, Tsunami, it proves-"
"-it proves that you care about us," Kurumu interjected. As if I didn't feel awkward enough.
"I don't want to know." I could feel the smugness of my other half, she was laughing silently.
"Too late, Tsunami. You are used to blood tablets; now that you are mated, you drink your mates' blood. Or else your vampire blood controls you," Moka replied.
I lifted my shoulders up then down and walked to my house. Of course they stayed by my side, damnit! No, no alone time if I was ever home. "Is Tsukune here?" I asked. I didn't need to argue with him anymore.
"Actually no. He and Yukari went to something in the human world. Ruby requested them," Nana answered.
So I was alone in a house - no, castle with these people?! I groaned and dodged Moka's hand coming to smack the back of my head. "No hurting the sweet one," I said mockingly.
They all rolled their eyes. Damn, my ego didn't help me none here. Kanye West, you lied, no one likes an ego!
Skipping to Late Afternoon
The phone rang and rang and rang. None of the others made a reach for it. Mizore was trying to cook something (I prayed she doesn't burn down the kitchen), Kurumu is off somewhere, and both Mokas are in the fields, I think. Yukari and Tsukune came back with some news on the human world. The human and I kept our distance while Yukari ran here and there.
I swiped up the phone and answered, "Hello?"
"Er, um, uh, Tsunami, I, um, need to speak with you."
"Shuzen? You don't sound like yourself," I said. Duh he sounds as if he's scared of something.
"Just stay at the castle, the urgency is great."
"Fine but under one condition: I found out about the regressed vampires. You have loads of explaining to do."
"Tsuanmi!? Can't that wait another time?! I'm coming over! If you aren't there you will regret it!" he hangs up.
I miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollowed tree (come find me)
I know you hear me
I can taste it in your tears
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight
My mind is spinning, what is so urgent, and why did it make Shuzen freak like that? Then something dawns on me: He called me by my first name. Normally he only does that after I've accomplished something. Maybe someone stole his mind and is making him go crazy. I smiled at the thought.
I toss the phone to the other side of the room - and nailed Tsukune in the head. I would've apologized if I wasn't so outraged at Shuzen, his unwillingness to answer me and evades any detail pisses me off. I do not like being left out of the loop.
The human breaks the phone in half. I still ignore him. Now I'm pacing in a small circle, the scarf flowing lightly behind me. Out of the corner of my eye I see Tsukune holding the chain bracelet that keeps him human. A spark flies through his eyes, his killer intent spikes and his normal aura is that of a strong and vengeful ghoul.
I dodge his fist just in time. He doesn't stop and throws a fluid roundhouse kick for my head. I am so not in the mood for his crap.
I go to my knees and kick his legs out from under him. He falls but I don't let him, the small time he's in midair is my chance. I kick him in the torso and send him flying into a wall, essentially breaking it.
The boy moans but I don't help him, instead I go up the stairs to my room. I slam my door and run for the balcony. Never has my world been so shaken up, everything is just way too much. I want to go back to being alone and not having a care for anyone. Except for the people I protect in my lands.
(Chorus)
Closing your eyes to disappear
You pray your dreams will leave you here
But still you wake and know the truth
No one's there
Safe inside myself
Say goodnight
Don't be afraid
Calling me,
Calling me,
As you fade to black
(say goodnight)
Holding my last breath (don't be afraid)
Safe inside myself (calling me)
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight
I lean over the railing and thinking how I was just in my field. Too many things being thrown my way. It's like being suffocated. Worrying about people was never presented to me, I had no one. But all of this coming upon me suddenly tired me out. I sat on the bottom of the balcony with my back against the cold iron rails.
I close my eyes. "If there's a god then kill me now, come on, I know one of you is itching to smite me." Nothing happens. I sigh and hold onto the rails.
Jumping into a lake of water doesn't sound too bad right now, but I know it's stupid to think like that. Becoming a Dark Lord isn't a free pass to anything, I seriously do have duties and killing myself would ruin my name and the position. Through the mating bond I can feel the others starting to become curious of my feelings. I tried to reassure them but I see Shuzen's car pulling up. I scramble down the stairs.
To my surprise the others (even Tsukune) are gathered in the living room. Shuzen walks into the room and I see his jaw is tightly clenched. A woman is behind him. She almost looks famili-
Oh…shit… I do know this woman, and Shuzen hates her with a passion. Not only is she arrogant but she is annoying, ignorant and jumps to conclusions way too quickly. She thinks she's perfect. How similar we look disgusts me.
"Why are you here?" I say through clenched teeth.
She smiled wickedly. "Is that any way to treat your aunt?"
I spat, "Mojite, ugh, forget it. I have the pure name Kuro while you have something that was inked by your father's selfishness." I knew I hit a nerve. My mother always talked about how he left their family to live in the human world for his own reasons. Those reasons being of the flesh, and he never helped them in any way, all vampires looked down on him.
Her face pleased me; she was trying to push away the anger but failed miserably.
"You have no right to speak of spoiling names," she started.
I stared her down. How dare she do this to me in my own home!
Let me out! My demon ranted on and on.
The other mind within my own was still unusual. No, this is mine.
The anger didn't subside but she stayed quiet.
I kept the others behind me. The world I tried to keep them away from. It was now shoved in their face. I never try to get others to fight my fights but Shuzen would be welcomed now.
"It wasn't my fault. And you know that as well as I do," I said.
"Why didn't you tell us your family died?" Kurumu whispered.
"I wouldn't know, Tsunami," my aunt replied haughtily. "I wasn't there. That's why I need to stay here."
I growled. "No, you are not my caretaker. I'm a DARKLORD DAMNIT! Your opinion is nothing. I could get you off my lands permanently!" I shouted.
Mizore's iced claws gripped my forearm tightly. That's what I have to focus on, my new family that I care for now. I can't let this witch that I refuse to call family torment me.
(Chorus)
Holding My Last Breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight
Holding My Last Breath
"This land is being guarded by me and I don't want to keep your sorry ass safe. Especially since I don't know how to do that anyway, a horde of vampires will be hard to handle.
Everyone except Shuzen and I are confused. There is a ring of truth to my words. His daughter is here, on my lands, so I have her in my care, not only her but her friends… Anyways, if a grouchy old woman is here I will be too distracted to ensure the safety to his daughter. And everyone knows that he wants what's "best" for his precious prodigy.
"In other words, Shuzen, take her and leave. I'm not in a great mood and I don't feel like fighting my old sensei and an old lady."
Mojite scoffed and turned her eyes away, to her no longer caring what I say is a blow to me. Told you she was arrogant. Shuzen's face hardened looking every bit intimidating. Underneath it I could tell that he was trying to come up with a plan to get rid of her.
"You decide," I said. Then a thought hit me, helloooo!-Dark Lord! The perfect excuse to anything that will get me out of here.
"How's Yokai Academy?" I ask Shuzen.
"Repairs re being made, still a long way to go, though," he replies cautiously.
Bingo! My plan is almost flawless. "I'll go assist, after all what would I be I, a student and Dark Lord, didn't help," I said sarcastically.
"But like you said, you need to protect the others," he says way too quickly.
I cross my arms and smile. "I'm sure their families would like them to visit, after all the Fire may have worried them. This is your last chance to leave without a scratch."
Mojite headed for the door with a very pale Dark Lord following.
I feel triumphant and decide to go to my room once more. The whole house is silent while I walk up the stairs. As son as I reach inside my room I actually start to think about what I'm going to do. The sun isn't as high as it was, approximately three o' clock. I figured by the time I get to the Academy that it would be quittin' time.
I lie on my bed with my eyes closed and a smile on my face, jumping into work will numb my thoughts.
We could've taken her, Tsunami.
My other half startled me for multiple reasons. 1, I forgot her, 2, she used my (our?) name for the first time and 3, the sincerity in her voice was strange.
I know, but think of it this way: The last thing I could do for my mother is to not kill her sister. There was no response, only acknowledgement. Our own sorrow engulfed us. It reminded me that I probably needed to talk to Ayame. Another task I didn't want to complete, or do at all.
Unwillingly, I stood and opened my door. I was going to go to my private dojo but some people stopped: Yukari, Mizore, Moka, Nana, and Kurumu. They looked mad at me… Was it something I didn't say?
I'm gonna go now… You can handle the fireworks by yourself. And my head felt normal, alone. Great.
"What?" I asked.
They walked into my room; I went to the balcony and sat down. Might as well keep some distance. And there was my not wanting to hurt anybody. The air was tense and stale. It struck me, this was the first time they acted…normal…since they came, well, if you counted pissed normal. I do.
Moka came over and pulled me to my feet by my collar. "What just happened?" she asked roughly.
I laughed. I. Am. Going. To. Die. I won't kill myself, they will. I have no sanity left. None at all. I am no longer Kuro Tsunami, no, I'm Deranged-Person.
"Answer!" she growled.
I pulled free of her grip and smiled. "I don't know! I don't know anything anymore! Do me a favor and kill me already!" I shouted.
They all looked taken aback. I frowned. "Get on with it!" I snarled.
No answer. I flipped over the balcony and landed on top of my car. Without another thought I ran into my Mori no Vampire. I ran to nowhere in particular. Branches hit my face and I'm pretty sure I was bleeding. I didn't bother to move branched out of my way. I moved like a robot, didn't bother with pain.
I collapsed in a small grassy area. I propped myself against a fallen log and looked at the stars. Did I run that long? I guess the forest is deeper than I thought.
It was a beautiful night. I heard shouting and shot to my feet at once. Kids cries, women's pleads it was all around me. I ran to the source and found myself in Ayame's village. They were being attacked. My mind flashed to my family's death. I went into Dark Lord mode and started kicking ass. I didn't know who I was supposed to fight but I could smell. Ayame's people smelled blank, my family's murderers smelled like smoke.
I pulled a man off a woman covering her children. I saw Ayame fighting a huge burly man. I leapt to her side and kneed the man in the chest. Ayame delivered a punch to the head and thanked me. I nodded and ran to help others. I was helping a man fight this small group. We watched each others back and attacked. As soon as I took a woman down his eyes grew huge. But he wasn't looking at me.
I spun but not in time to protect myself. The man Ayame and I took down struck me in the head with a huge branch. I fell to my knees and held my head. Everything was spinning. I tried to get to my feet but someone else bashed my head in. I fell to the ground and found Ayame running to fight in my place. Some other woman helped her fight. A man ran on top of a house and started shooting fiery arrows at the regressed enemies.
A fire erupted and the regressed vampires retreated. My vision blurred and my breathing shallowed. I closed my eyes and fainted.
I woke up in a sterile white room. Too many people were in my room. I held my aching head and closed my eyes.
Two thoughts floated in my head. Who am I and who are they?
Mwuahahaha, cliffy! Here's my idea…yeah, like I'm gonna tell you! Review, flame give constructive criticism if you want I don't give a damn! I just cant wait for the next few chapters. I promise some lemons since I found someone to help me with em. I think they might be better. Or Im just delusional and they suck. XDDD
