It had been a lonely four hundred and fifty-seven years, not that he was counting them anymore. Lava wandered from town to town watching as Japan changed all around him. He had changed a lot since that day.
Lava needed to blend in with the humans so he dressed like them and got brown contacts for his eyes. He left his hair its silver color. People didn't seem to mind it, though they thought it was unusual for someone his age.
He was quieter and snappier then he had ever been. People who knew him said he was a shark, especially when it came to business. He was no nonsense and never took anything less then the best. He had made a name for himself in Tokyo.
He was one of the five richest people in the city and one of the ten most in all of Japan. His company he named Lava Corp. was a top dealer for the military, housing units, and the most advanced company for electronics.
With all of his wealth and all of his success there wasn't a day that didn't go by when he didn't think about her. He thought maybe what they had was a fling back then. They had both been alone so long and they found comfort in one another.
That was his mind playing tricks on him. He knew that he'd loved her more then anyone he'd ever met. He knew the moment she died, apart of him died with her. The part of his heart that felt love and happiness was gone.
He never tried to be with another woman again after her death. What they shared was to special to be tainted by another woman who would no doubt only want his money. Women today wanted money and power. Miyu wanted him because she loved him. She was powerful and determined. She didn't need him to boost herself up, but she wanted him to love her.
All that mattered to her was that he was by her side and when she needed him he failed. She was dead because he had failed her. If he got another chance he would never let anyone take her from him again.
To Japan Lava was twenty-five and a prodigy at business. In actuality Lava was almost a millennium. He himself couldn't believe he was that old and some day like many demons before him, he would have to put himself out of his misery.
Living forever was only grand if you had someone to do it with, and she was gone and not coming back.
A gentle knock at the door brought him from his thoughts. He was going to have to get passed her some day. He couldn't drag this on and keep living for someone long since gone.
"Come in, Kaname. What is it?" His secretary was a pretty little thing. She was devoted and a hard worker. He was glad because he was paying her out the ass for her skills.
"The assembly at Tokyo University starts in half and hour. If you are to make it on time you will have to leave in the next five minutes."
"Thank you Kaname I will be right there. Have the limo pull to the side. I don't feel like being mulled today by anyone down there wondering when I'm getting married or what event I will attend next."
"I have already done as you asked and the car is waiting for you whenever you're ready. Would you like the notes I prepared about starting your own business, or the ones about over throwing your boss?" She smiled and bowed out of the room.
She was one of the few who could jest with him and live to tell about it. He kept her because she always knew what he needed before he needed it. Like setting up this assembly at the University. This made him look good in the public eye and got him out of work. He was going to tell the Juniors and Seniors how to start a successful business.
When he arrived he set up his things in the auditorium and waited for the students to file in. He hated these things but they were always good publicity and made the investors happy.
After all the students were seated and he began his tissue of lies on how he became as great as he was and how they could do it too, he started to scan the crowd.
Something in his chest was pulling. He knew that feeling from so long ago he almost missed it for butterflies. The feeling was just like the feeling he had when his blood and Miyu's bonded together that first time.
His heart started to pound in his cheat with the familiar aura. His body felt like he was having a heart attack. His shoulders and his sides started to burn and the fire started to run through his veins.
He didn't know how but he knew that she was here. She was somewhere in this room. There were hundreds of students and they were all dressed the same. He didn't have much time left in his presentation but he had to find her.
He started to relax his body and mind and let the pulling feeling take him where it wanted. He was in the aisles and about fifteen rows up and seven seats in, she was there.
He had no idea how it was possible but there she was, as beautiful as the first day he had met her. Her hair was even the same way. He needed to find a way to get her to be with him. He needed a plan.
Before he could finish his thought the bell rang and the students left.
