Takeshi's servant runs through the winter storm, his silver hair flew out behind him as the wind picked up. Blue-grey eyes searched for a place to rest for a moment, spotting a small abandon home with a car in the driveway, the servant runs up to it, turning the handle and walking inside. He shuts the door behind him and looks around abit. He is known as Daisuke, the right hand of Takeshi. Daisuke walked around the small home, his tall frame left shadows on the floor. The scent of blood was heavy in the air here, he followed it, soon seeing blood spots on the wooden floor. A chill went down Daisuke's spine when he spotted a body on the floor, barely alive. He walked over so he could see the face of the person, who stared up at him blindly. Kneeling down, Daisuke pressed his hand against the bloodied hand and spoke, "Akemi".
For once, Daisuke got some answers about what happened to the families Takeshi were always with. Daisuke met Akemi once, and remembered her well. She was a sweet woman to him, but Takeshi would go so far as to doing something like this, because the child was not a boy. This madness would have to stop, Takeshi would have to be stopped, but he couldn't do it by himself. His main focus was on the dying woman infront of him, who's vision was becoming blurred. He thought to himself, "I could save her..but not give her that kind of life", this was an important decision and it would have to be up to her to decide. He snapped out of his thoughts when Akemi started to make guttering noises, until she finally got the words out. "Da...Dai...Daisuke...M-minako...safe", she asked, Daisuke shushed her, knowing talking wasn't making anything better, but she persisted.
"T..the pendant...s-silver, give...give to her and...t-the letter", she said softly while trying to hold on alittle longer while Daisuke went searching her bedroom quickly. He found the silver pendant and the letter he guessed she wrote before she got in this situation, he shoved them both it his pocket, returning to Akemi. The woman stared up at him before speaking her last words, "T...tell her...m-mommy..l..loves her", she said with a small smile closing her eyes, breathing her last breathe. Daisuki closed his eyes, a serious look coming into his features, "Akemi", he said before picking up her body. He walked outside in the back and buried her, he had to find Minako do deliver the message to her and the pendent. He walked around to the front, and noticed the car. That would make things easier for him, he walked over to it, opened up the door and got in closing it behind him. He hotwired the car, and then drove off, but stopped.
Turning back to the house, his eyes became a red hue, a spark could be seen and the house was suddenly engolfed with flames. He then drove off again, in search for Minako. He followed the path leading into town, curiousity struck him, digging in his pocket he pulled out the silver pendant and opened it. He allowed a smile smile to creep into his features. It was a picture of Minak and Akemi, smiling at the camera. He knew both Akemi and Minako, they were both very kind, he never understood his master's way. Sighing softly he placed the pendant back into his pocket and kept driving.
Daisuke drove for hours until the car finally decided to give out on him, he made a displeased noise while getting out of the car, beginning to walk. Unknowningly to him, this was the same place that Minako was no to long ago. He passed the abandon church, and afew rogue vampires that backed away from him when he walked near. He searched the old buildings that she would most likely hide in, he found nothing. The only place he didn't look was seemingly guarded by high walls, which he jumped over quickly. He was now in the Cross Academy, he knew she would have to be here, he began to walk hoping for the best as he approached the main building.
"What are you looking at out there, Minako", Ichijo asked while placing a hand on the girls shoulder. She snapped out of her daze and looked up at Ichijo smiling brightly. "Nothing, Ichijo-sama", she says while turning around in her seat. She was sitting right next to Kaname, and on his side was a table with the red liquid from before. Minako made a move to tap Kaname's shoulder but changed her mind. "Kaname-sama, may I go play outside in the snow", she asked while pointing to where she was going to be. He nodded, and watched her leave with her new coat, looking at Aidou he spoke, "Watch her", ordered, Aidou followed her immediately staying a distance from her so she wouldn't notice.
The girl ran outside and into the snow, she kneeled and started to make a snow ball, but something caught her attention. She could see a figure in the distance, Minako narrowed her eyes slightly trying to see, when she suddenly saw silver hair fly out, she got up and ran towards the figure. She suddenly stopped and stared, when Daisuke came into view, she remembered when she first met him.
Flashback
"Minako this is Daisuke, one of your father's...servants. He does anything that he says", Minako looked at what her mother said registering it in her head. She then looked up Daisuke, and smiled alittle, hiding behind her mothers leg. One of her father's servants, did that mean that Daisuke and her father were alike?
End Flashback
"Daisuke", Minako said in a serious voice, her mouth set, eyes slightly narrowed. Daisuke felt a chill go down his spine, when he was finally close enough to her. The child normally smiled when she saw him, or didn't say anything. Not only did she address him, but to him, her eyes weren't hers. They seemed tortured, untrusting and hateful towards him. Minako watched him carefully as he pulled out a pendant and what seemed to be a letter. Her eyes softened alittle bit, that was her mothers pendant, but she never had a chance to see what was really in it. "Minako-sama, I mean no harm, I've only come to check on your welbeing and to deliver a gift and message from your deceased mother", he could have kicked himself after saying something about her mother, but Minako showed no signs of heartbreak yet. She reached a hand up, grabbing the letter and pendant out of Daisuke's hand.
Their silence was inturrupted by Aidou, running towards them. "Your not taking her back, get away from her", he said viscously while picking Minako up, holding her in his arms while glaring at Daisuke. Daisuke bowed to Minako and turned to leave until he was grabbed, he turned around and froze. "K-kuran-sama", he could hear Aidou say, Daisuke's eyes widened even more, a Kuran. "Take her to the dorms", he ordered while keeping a firm grip on Daisuke. Minako didn't know what Kaname did to Daisuke, but when he was done she never saw him come back. She now sat on the bed, pendant around her neck, letter in her hand, a soft knock caught her attention. Kaname entered and closed the door behind him, he then sat next to her wrapping a arm around her for comfort.
"Kaname-sama...what did you do to Daisuke-sama", she asked curiously, when Kaname didn't answer her bit her lip alittle. She looked up at him, he was so silent and mysterious, but still a killer. She moved around alittle, making Kaname pull his arm away, she was scared. "K-kaname-sama, could you read this to me", she asked while holding up the letter. He took the letter from her hand and opened it, beginning to read.
The Letter
Dearest Minako,
If you are recieving this letter than I most likely have passed from the world of the living. I never told you just how much you really meant to me. Your my world and stars and even in death you will always remain as such. No matter what I'll always love you, and death can not take away such a love, it shall not be proud. I hope that you are in a safe place, away from that murderer of a father you have. I never did get a chance to tell you, what you really are..
Your father is a vampire in my eyes, a fiend, I'm sure you already knew that much about him though. Since I'm a human, and he a vampire, that makes you a damphir. I'm sorry that you had to find this out, right after my death. You should be with proper caretakers, who will help you through out your life. Stay away from hostile people, they will most likely try and end you. Damphirs are frowned upon because they are most likely made unwillingly. Please, when you get older, do me a favor, make him pay, Minako, make him pay for what he's done to us!
I'll never forget you, ever, even in death, I'm still alive in your heart and mind.
Love,
Mom
Tears flowed down Minako's eyes as she started to wail, her body shook, she screamed and cried into her hands. Kaname wrapped his arms around the child, carressing her head. Soon, he would find Minako's father, soon...
