The Love Of A Vampire
Chapter 2: My Life Now
I groaned when I was awoken by the sunlight streaming threw my window.
My alarm clock read 6:40 a.m. I didn't have to get up for another 20 minutes! I looked around at my surroundings. My kitty Buyo was still sound asleep at the foot of my bed.
I'd been living in my own apartment for the past 2 months now. It wasn't exactly the most decorative place, but it was home. I had a t.v in both my bedroom and the living room. I had quit an impressive collection of DVDs.
I had a King sized bed with many fluffy round pillows, all different shades of the rainbow. A hot pink bed sheet and a soft purple quilt for my blanket.
I reached over to my bedside dresser and switched my alarm to off, so that way it wouldn't go off at 7 o'clock in the morning. My eyes rested on an object that layed right beside my alarm clock. It was a white picture frame that said 'LOVE' in big cursive letters all around it, except the 'O' was replaced by a heart. In the picture frame was a picture of me and my family when I was really small.
My mother with her curly brown/black hair swirling all around her face with sleepy brown eyes and frail skin. She was in a blue hospital gown laying in a hospital bed with a brand new baby boy in her arms. He was so tiney as my mother cradled him against her chest. His little arms stretched up towards her as his smiling face stared back at her. Next to the hospital bed was my father, with his strate black hair and dazzaling blue eyes. He was smiling towards the camera while he patted a little girls head as she clutched his pant leg. That little girl was me. I was so small I didn't even reach up to his waist. Next to me was my grandfather, he had a giddy smile on his face as he held a thumbs up toward the camera.
I remember the day that picture was taken. A hospital nurse had gathered us up together as she took the pictute, right after the birth of my baby brother.
It was the same night my whole family was killed...
A single tear slid down my cheek as horrific memories of that night came flooding back to my mind.
I shoved the thought away as I scrambled out of bed and went to the living room.
The first thing I saw was my comfy fuchsia couch in the center of the room. I plopped down on the couch and again took in my surroundings. The big black plazma screen t.v rested in front of me on the back wall about 3 feet away from the front door. Other than my t.v my walls were pretty much blank, nothing but white paint. The only thing that decorated my living room wall, other than my t.v and couch, was one picture on the right wall hanging by a nail in the center of it.
It was a picture of me and my mentor, Myoga. The very same man that found me on that dreaded day 10 years ago.
The picture was taken on the day that I had moved out. We stood hand in hand with smiling faces on as one of his friends took the picture. Memories of that evening flashed back to me.
FLASH BACK
I ran down the stairs trying to balance 5 ENORMOUS suitcases in my hands. I packed up everything I owned and was ready to go to my own house. Well...apartment actually. I was so excited that I tripped over my own two feet while coming down the stairs. My bags flew from my hands as I stumbled down the stairs.
I landed at the bottom of the stairs with a loud, "Oof!"
I then heard footsteps come running toward me.
"Kagome, are you alright!"
I groaned and stood up while rubbing my backside.
"Yes Myoga. I'm okay."
He sighed, "Please. Try and be more careful my dear."
I smiled at him as I began to pick up my suitcases. Myoga was the very first, and ONLY friend I've ever had. I've never had any home friends, school friends, or any boyfriends for that matter. I hardly know any people because after Myoga found me I had ended up moving in with him and he had home schooled me ever sense.
Which is another reason I was so excited to finally be going out on my own. Because after this summer, I was going to go to my very first school. A public school called Shikon High: School For The Gifted.I know it sounds like a school for people with disabilities. But it's really not. It's for people like me...monsters.
I mean sure, some people would apply to get in, but they never got excepted.
To the public it's just a regular school. But I know that truth. It's really a school funded by the government for the monsters protection group. But I honestly couldn't care less. I was just happy that I was finally going to a school for once.
"Hello..." a hand was waved in front on my face, "Kagome are you awake?"
I snapped out of my thoughts and giggled, "Yes Myoga, I'm awake."
He smiled at me.
"Would you like some help with your bags then my dear?"
"Please and thank you." I smiled back at him.
A taxi waited outside for me. Myoga helped carry my bags to the car. One in each hand, leaving one waiting in the living room.
We walked back to the house and as I bent over to pick up my last bag, I heard someone yell, "Wait!"
I looked up to see that it was none other that Mistress, Myogas house maid. I personally like to think of her as his girlfriend though, on account of all the times I've seen them hug and kiss each other. But of course he denies it.
"Oh Kagome! You've gotten so big since I first met you all those years ago!"
"It's been good to have known you for all those years to Mistress." I said.
She smiled sheepishly at me. "One last picture?" she asked.
I smiled back at her. "Of course Mistress."
Me and Myoga got together in a pose. She just stood there.
"Aren't you going to be in the picture?" I asked her.
"Oh no, no, no. I much prefer to take them so that way I'm not in them."
Me and Myoga just laughed at her.
She smiled, "And one...two...three..."
'click'
She snapped a picture of us.
Then she came over to me and gave me a hug. "Goodbye Kagome, I'll miss you." She whispered before walking away back to the kitchen. Though I could've sworn I saw tears in her eyes.
Silence lingered in the air for a while.
"You don't have to go ya know."
"I'm sorry Myoga. But I do. This is my chance to finally start a real life. One that I'm completely in control of."
He sighed, "If you must go, then may I give you a piece of advice my dear?"
I smiled, "Of course Myoga."
"Umm...well, you might want to try and 'lay low' while at your new school for a while, Kagome."
"...But why? I thought this was my chance to be who I really am."
He sighed. "I know. But it's just..."
"Just what?"
"Many people like you, aren't fully aware of Kyuuketsukis yet."
"What do you mean?"
"The Kyuuketsuki has been thought to have died out many years ago. A Kyuuketsuki hasn't been sited in over centuries. And if others were to find out what you truely are..." he trailed off in thought and shuddered before speaking again, "They might try and hurt you. And I will not let that happen!"
"I don't understand Myoga."
"Kagome you are the most feared and dangerouse creature of all time. If other monsters were to find out what you are, they would resent you. And I don't want that to happen to my little girl."
Myoga had always been like a father figure to me for as long as I've known him. So I just smiled and said, "I promise."
He smiled back at me before grabbing my last suitcase and walking me out the door to the awaiting taxi cab. He handed it to me and I threw it in the back seat of the cab with the rest of my luggage.
An earie silence passed over us before I couldn't take it any more and launched myself at Myoga, wrapping my arms around him in a death grip. He hugged me back with equal strength. Tears started to spring to my eyes, but I blinked furiously, refusing to let them fall.
We stood there in silence just hugging each other, until Myoga broke that silence.
"You don't have to go ya know."
I released my hold on him and stepped back to smile ate him.
"I'm sorry Myoga, but you know I do. This is my chance to be free. And I'm going to take it."
He smiled at me before taking me in one last, quick hug. "I'm realy going to miss you Kagome." he whispered.
"I'll miss you to Myoga." I whispered back. "But you know you can always come visit me anytime right? And besides, I'll see you at least once a month when you come over to deliver my blood packets."
He realesed his hold on me and grinned. I laughed lightly at the giddy expression on his face before climbing into the back of the cab.
We shook hands before he whispered, "Goodbye Kagome."
"Goodbye Myoga." I whispered back before closing the cab door.
I motioned the cab driver with my hand that I was ready to leave. He already knew the designated area of my apartment complex.
I watched Myogas form fade away out the cab window as we drove. Getting smaller and smaller until he was eventualy out of sight. And this time, I couldn't hold back the tears that rose, as they sprung freely.
END FLASH BACK
I sighed and pushed the memmory away, to the back of my mind.
I got up from the couch and strolled toward the kitchen. I jerked it open by the handel and bent down to the bottom right hand drowar. Pulling that open as well as I reached my hand all the way to the back behind the cheese I kept in there. My fingertips touched something squishy that seemed to be wrapped in plastic. Satisfied with my finding, I smiled and wrapped my fingers around it, pulling it out of the fridge.
I kicked the door closed with my foot and elbowed the friderator door shut. I held the blood packet up to my mouth and punctured it with my teeth. A few drops fell on my tounge before I squeezed the packet, forcing out more into my mouth. My tounge lapped at the packet , trying to get as much of it as I could.
Once I had my fill, I stalked over to the trash can to dispose of the now empty blood packet.
I glanced up at the clock. It read 6:50 a.m. I had to be to work at 8:00, leaving me a little over an hour to get ready and get to work.
I sighed before heading over to the bathroom to shower.
