Rose of Decade~ {Chp.26} ~
Kamijo P.O.V.
I was rather worried as Adelaide appeared inside of Hizaki's room like that. I knew I could trust her but I did not wish to put any kind of stress on Hizaki and because Adelaide is a vampire it was obvious to me that it will bring stress.
Though then again Adelaide was a very motherly figure; even if she did not have her own children she always took care for the little 'accidents'…the vampires that were turned and left by their childish masters.
As expected Hizaki moved to protect himself…no, he more likely protected his belly. Oh Hizaki, such wonderful mother you'll be! A Small smile came to my features as I tried to take the others fear from my 'mother'.
" Hizaki, do not fear her, please" I said, looking at him as I softly took one of his hands. Humans are so much like porcelain dolls, so easy to shatter or damage…I just got reminded by that just by the way how Hizaki was reacting.
You see, vampires; especially the young ones, tend to get excited when their 'prey' shows fear. It gave us a feeling of power, it showed that we moved up in the food chain…Though right now, as I see my own lover like this…
I was ashamed and felt like a monster instead of a higher being! I guess, after your own experiences as a vampire you learn this sense of appreciation for humans and their short life's.
I was glad that my lover relaxed and thankful as Adelaide had somehow gotten human food. Hizaki and the baby must be starving because of all of this! Hopefully the baby will be alright!
I knew Adelaide would want to tall the risks of a half-breed over with me and Hizaki, she knew more about vampires than I did, even if I had spent over 50 years in libraries hidden to humans, reading and learning things.
After Hizaki was done eating I noticed how much the other had eaten. It surprised me but I was relieved as well since this means Hizaki was slowly trusting this environment. The bath was a way for me to go and speak to Adelaide as my lover relaxed a bit.
Hizaki did not know of the dangers of this pregnancy, but I did. I did all too well. I know it is slight unfair but…If I were to tell Hizaki now the other would only get upset and might even wish to stop the pregnancy!
Maybe it is selfish of me to keep this information, but right now I wished for a child with my princess. It came perfect after our love making… a baby! As if the gods wanted us to be mates! I sighed and lead the other to the bathroom, wishing to stay but instead I left him to have some time on his own, walking off to find Adelaide, smiling once I did.
She had obviously sensed me coming, already having a glass of blood for me in her hand, though I noticed I was not alone. My, my, so the other elders were here also?
I bowed and smiled at them all " I must say I am surprised you let this all happen" Adelaide said, though her smile told me she was not angry or upset about this " Please stay here at least until the child is born, you know of the risks, dear" She continues making me nod my head " Thank you mistress" I said while bowing slightly; all over I felt like a small boy again!
I truly find Adelaide a wonderful person, and in a way I was rather positive she and Hizaki would get along, however for the other elders sitting there I was not so confident. Maybe my stance told the others what I felt, maybe it were my eyes or the aura, whichever it was, all of them seemed to notice…
" Kamijo, please relax" one of the elders, Gackt, said with a soft smile. Ah, that guy honestly was more to my liking than Mana was. Mana was easily getting on my nerves. Sure he is a great vampire, but he was too much of an perfectionist…If something went wrong he tended to blame others for his failure and apart from that, it is just an Aura thing, I guess, but I just cannot stand him, nor can Gackt.
Gackt and Mana are enemies anyway, so it's rather logical Mana dislikes me also since I'm mostly around him when he is around…
Adelaide asked me to sit after a short while of silence, and of course I obeyed The conversation we had, then and there, was rather awkward and…uncomfortable for me. It was about Hizaki…My beautiful rose, who was resting for now, together with my child, or maybe even children!
The thought of becoming a father was giving me this strange feeling; as if I should be with Hizaki right now, a feeling only true fathers can describe.
It was as if my whole body and soul were set to protect and help Hizaki, even if it was going against my race as a vampire, even if it was going against the human laws….and yes, even if it meant going against nature!
The conversation was long, though quite interesting as they talked about the few vampires who gave birth to half breeds …I suppose it was their way of trying to prepare me for what was to come.
After that was all done I was allowed to leave, which I did.
I went straight to my resting princess, though my eyes widened as I saw someone I had actually forgotten of…
"Kanzaki, get away from my wife" I growled lowly, not wishing to fight or raise my voice; not wanting Hizaki to wake up.
It was so annoying to see my own brother being against me; on top of that he seemed different…He was no longer a vampire, I could tell that much! Those dark eyes seem to have such an evil glint, almost as if Kanzaki was purely evil; I knew better though.
"My, my, such a warming welcome Kamijo" He said, not bothering to raise or drop his voice, just staying there, seated next to my princess.
He was touching my rose and I could not prevent him from doing so! It was a rather helpless situation! What if he'd stab my rose, or..or what if he touched my rose in other ways?
I was nervous,, angered….But most of all worried! How the hell did he enter without us noticing?
My brother smirked at me and stood up, crossing his arms slightly, almost looking down on me with an arrogance that just made my skin crawl.
" Oh brother you look so tense" He teased with a smirk still gracing his lips. I just ignored that and glanced at Hizaki. He was going through enough, I could at least make sure he'd get his well deserved rest!
" Let's continue this outside of the room, Kanzaki" I said, looking at him with confidence, determined to get the other out here. " Aww but why? I was having fun with your husband" He said, teasing me, trying to trigger me into rage.
"Hizaki may be male, but he is my wife, he is the submissive, pregnant one, not I" I replied whilst walking out of the room, ignoring the chuckle that escaped my brothers lips.
At times like this I wonder why I have to put up with him…I hated him…even if he was my own brother, he was nothing like me!
I tried to see the beauty in things and respect the environment whilst he destroys it all in his childish manner, saying it was their faith. In his eyes only the strongest need to survive.
It was a good strategy for war and such, but not for a general way of living!
He smirked as I closed the door behind him, his head held high whilst he looked down at me. We were basically the same height; only by a few inches does he surpass me, but those he used well to his advantage.
Too bad for him that I am used to his snobby attitude, so it did not work and my face remained emotionless. Growing up with him was a pain in the ass, but it did give me a long period to see how he behaved on certain things.
"Do you have the contract?" I asked, starting to walk towards my old office "But of course I do dear brother, do you think I am an idiot?" He asked, making my question sound unimportant and not necessary.
" I was simply asking, seeing as a few years ago you DID forget important things, but I suppose Kisaki has done well to train you" I replied with a smirk of my own as I heard him growl.
He was never going to be able to hide his emotions like I did…He is just too aggressive for that!
Shortly after that we entered the office and as the doors closed so did the path back to my old life.
