Chapter Seven :
One day had passed, although it felt more like an eternity. Spending alone time with Kaname-sama was beyond my wildest imagination. We talked, and sometimes when we had no words we just sat together in the quiet, enjoying each others company. I knew I never wanted to leave his side. He explained to me the power of his uncle, Rido, and how he was now after me for the fact I was close to his niece ... and the fact that I was human. When he told me this I could tell there was something more that he was not telling me, but I let it slide.
I sat on the sofa, curled up under a black Afghanistan. Kaname-sama went back to campus to get some clothing for us both so we could hide out here for a few more days; to be safe from Rido. He told me he covered our scent carefully and took us to a place that was un-known to everyone but himself. He told me not to worry about Rido finding me, but I found my heart screaming out every time a tree branch would scrape against one of the windows. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on the low hum of the vent that was pouring out heat; it felt good against my cold face.
Somewhere along the way, I drifted off to sleep and started having the weirdest dream.
"Mommy? Daddy?" I was a little girl again, dressed in all white except for my luxurious long black hair.
"Sweetie, what is it now?" Answered a gruff old man with greying hair.
"Semiko took my doll again!" My eyes were tear filled as I ran to my mother and hugged her leg.
"Honey, you know that Semiko only wants to be your friend. He's just trying to show that he likes you." She stroked the top of my head gently.
I pouted out my lower lip as I looked up at her through my blurred vision. "But - "
"No buts, now Sasaya. Go back and play with Semiko - nicely." My father interrupted my whining.
I stomped my foot but smiled in a pleased way as I skipped back outside to where Semiko was. He sat under the base of a tree with my dolly - Ragékon.
"Semikooo!" I called out happily as I made my way over to him. "May I pleeease have my Ragékon back?" I held out my hand and smiled as big as I could.
He looked up to me slowly ... his eyes pained. His fingers played with Ragékon's red hair.
"Semiko? ... Was it that boy again? Did he talk to you?" I sat down next to him and watched him play with my dolly.
"Yes." He said under his breath, holding out Ragékon for me.
I grabbed her and held her to my chest. "What's with that boy? He never talks to anyone but his little sister and then you." I snuffed, my true older being kicking in.
"I dunno ... " He kept his gaze to the ground.
I stood up, brushing the dirt off of my white dress. "I'm going to go talk to him, and see if there isn't anything I can do to make him stay away from you."
Semiko grabbed my hand as I started to walk away. I turned around to look at him. "No, don't do that for me." He said, looking he straight in the eye.
"But I have to, you may be my stupid, annoying, best friend ... but I owe that to you, okay? Don't stop me." I pulled my hand back and started walking off down the street.
The day was coming to an end ... although it seemed awfully bright out. My small heels clicked against the pavement. I held Ragékon to my chest tightly, fighting the overwhelming fear that was building up in the pit of my stomach.
"You've come to speak with me?" Asked a velvety smooth voice.
I turned around to see him - bold and beautiful, standing before me. "Y-yes." I stammered, gripping tighter onto my dolly.
"What for? For that Semiko kid? Tch." He clucked his tongue against his front teeth as he drew nearer to me, keeping his gaze locked onto mine.
My lips quivered. This boy was older ... more powerful than I was. He was a pureblood, much like me. His family with a long line of history.
"Cat got your tongue?" He asked, smirking, his face an inch away from mine now.
I shook my head and took a step back - only to have him grab my hand and pull me against his body.
I gasped. "No ... what are you doing?" My voice changed half way through my sentence. He changed my appearance into my true form ... my true soul ... my older being.
I was his age now, in my true form. I tried pulling away but he held onto me tightly. Ragékon dropped to the street beside me.
"Don't deny this," He sighed, pressing his lips to the base of my throat.
"No!" I shouted, trying to shove against him.
I could feel his smirk as he sunk his fangs into my neck.
"Ungh ... " Came out of my mouth, I sunk into his being. He was taking my soul. He was storing me away to be reborn ... but why?
"Sasaya!" Semiko's voice filled my ears.
I saw him running towards us before being blasted backwards by a shot of light. Kaname's hands were wound possessively around me, as he pulled me away to who knows where.
The last thing I saw were my parents outraged faces coming down the street ... before everything went blank.
I screamed, shooting upwards and knocking my head into someone. Damn, that hurt. I rubbed my hands over my face.
"Komii? Are you okay?" It was that velvety voice.
And that's when I realized ... "You!" I shouted, standing up and pointing an accusing finger his way. "You took my being and stored me away to be reborn. For what purpose?"
His smirk was mocking, his eyes glazing over with a darkness I recognized all to well. "I wanted you to myself, and to do that I had to take you away from Semiko ... Sasaya-chan."
... I realized that it wasn't a dream. It was a memory. Everything came back to me. All at once. I remembered that day ... that day the boy with the messy hair and wine colored eyes took my life away from me. It was the boy I had fallen in love with ... the boy I swore I'd get revenge on.
"How could you?" I whispered painfully.
"Sasaya ... " His eyes were softer, filled with melancholy.
"Save it." I spit, turning around and walking into the bedroom, slamming the door behind me and locking it.
I really wanted to know how he had gotten me to a human state ... he transformed me into a baby and handed me off to a foster home. How could he? I had to sort my mind ... try to restore everything. He knew all this time who I was and didn't tell me. Dammit. I knocked a lamp off one of the bedside tables angrily, glass shattering everywhere.
My sanity had been threatening to give all this time and I never knew why. It was because the vampire inside of me was savaging. I had to restore it soon unless I wanted to go completely insane.
Kaname Kuran would not be forgiven. I could never ... not after this. Not after taking my family away. Not after stealing me.
Wow longer chapter (: Hope you liked it as much as I did (: Review if you want chapter eight.
