Chimamire Bara Chapter 2

Yagari took Zero through the Association and then stopped at a door somewhere in the middle. It was a solid wooden door, and there was nothing unusual about it. However, when Yagari opened the door, walked in and motioned for Zero, he stood frozen in the doorway. "A tattoo parlor?! You brought me to a tattoo parlor?!" Zero said in shocked protest. "Chinmoku. These aren't normal tattoos. They're cast with magic. Yours is a special one because we have to block off abilities instead of add them. We normally use this on vampires that are either hard to kill or used as specimens for study. This won't take long. It won't completely suppress them but it will help." Yagari said. He took Zero over to a girl who worked in the parlor. She had short pink hair and bright pink eyes. She wore a hot pink corset over a white tube top with a ripped up light pink fishnet shirt over this and had a three tiered (hot pink, light pink, and white) skirt. She wore ripped up fishnets and high heeled lace up knee boots. "Hello Yagari. Ohisashiburi desu. What is it you need? Whatever it is you must want the best because you came to me." The girl said. 'Hello, Hibari. Nothing for me today. But I need the "Letum Signum" for Zero here. Seems something got to him." Yagari said. "Seems something got to him? Not just something can rob someone of their humanity Yagari. You treat things too lightly." Hibari said with a hint of anger. "No offense intended Hibari. I was only making a joke. Perhaps you take things too seriously." Yagari apologized.

Zero was following the conversation and was caught a little off guard that Yagari was apologizing. "Need I remind you again not to brush things off easily?" Hibari asked, her tone frighteningly seriously. Yagari hastily replied no. "Well, Zero, now that I'm done arguing with Yagari I can help you. Just sit in this chair and relax. I'll be done before you realize it." Hibari told Zero, her mood a complete 360, bright and happy. She asked where the tattoo was to be placed and Zero pointed at his neck. She looked for the bite marks and began to cover them with the paint. She was right and was done much quicker than Zero expected. She bid them farewell, saying that Zero was probably her best work yet. When Zero and Yagari were out of hearing range Zero asked Yagari about Hibari. "Hibari was once a normal girl. She lived a normal life until the 9th grade. Rido showed up at her school as a substitute. What she didn't know was that she was a special kind of hunter, one that vampires can easily sense but one that is very hard for them to take down. Your parents were these. Hibari didn't know that she was a hunter because her family wasn't in a line of hunters. Her family had left the association long ago when a revolt occurred, and erased all memory of paranormal beings from their entire family. The only ones who remembered died with the knowledge. So when Rido went after her she didn't know what he was or how to fight him. Or if she even could for that matter, However one of the teachers working there was one of our members and realized the girl before the vampires did, which was why they sent Rido. We were able to save Hibari and greatly subdue Rido but he got away before we could seal him. However we weren't there in time to keep Hibari from getting severely hurt and he had bit her. She lost control as her human side slipped away from her and she tried to destroy the school. It took the force we used against Rido to weaken her and she lucky passed out from the stress on her body. While she was asleep we gave her a tattoo much like yours, only hers is much bigger and covers her back. Which is why she wears a corset most of the time. Rido didn't bite her like someone who feeds off of humans. He gave her some of his power, much like Shizuka did you, only he wasn't trying to save her. At the last moment he decided she was better alive and useful and was planning on making her a puppet of his. Only it backfired when we showed up. That was a decision he lived to regret but he won't for long if Hibari can have her way. When he bit her the suppressed memories of her bloodline came back and she realized what she needed to do. She readily embraced her future and will do anything, including die with him, to make sure Rido is killed. If you ever need help she'll gladly do it. Now moving on, we need to train you. In a years time you'll be able to go on missions to hunt for Level E's.

And so a year went by.
