"Hey, Kenkai, we need to talk." Came a deep, male voice.
I gulped. I searched the outline. It was a little too dark to get enough of the outline. But I did see the spiky hair and could only guess one person.
"Haruto!" I shouted in joy.
"Who'd you think?" He asked jumping in.
"Uh..." Scary creepy vampires out to get me? I wanted to say. "No one. Just scared me." I said shaking it off.
He chuckled and then got all serious. 'So dramatic.' I thought.
"Where did the mirror take you?" He asked.
I stared at him in horror. "What do you know?" I hissed.
"That you went through the mirrors and it took you some where." "Well..." I said as I looked at the door. "Trust me, no one's going to interfere." He said looking at me. "Okay, it took me to a different dimension and I became half and half. My body stayed behind in this weird realm, while my spirit went into a dimension." I explained.
"Then, I met this guy named Damon." "Damon Salvatore?" Haruto asked raising an eyebrow. I looked away and played with my fingers. "Yeah..." I mumbled. I looked at Haruto and he was shaking his head.
"You got turned into a vampire didn't you?" He said. My eyes widened. "It's not because he was toying with me. He cared enough about me to transfer his blood into me and save me from that snake." I said with a slight hiss.
"Mhm..." Haruto said. "So, now you're hungry and don't know what to do." I stared at him, bug eyed. "Man, you're good..." I mumbled.
He moved closer to me and put my neck into perfect position. "Drink. It'll keep you sane." He said so calm.
I gulped, tempted. "What if I can't control myself?" I asked unsure. "Bite your wrist. That way I could suck on it if you start to loose control." Haruto said. I looked at him. "Aren't you already part vampire?" I asked remembering he was Dizzy's son. He shook his head and laughed. "No. Amane got the vampire genes. I got the fox genes and somehow ended up with the shadow genes." He explained with a smirk. I smiled a little. "Okay then." I bit my wrist and had it handy for him. He arched his neck and I sank my teeth into him. He tasted wonderful. Those strong genes pumping in his veins made it more delicious. I felt something on my wrist but I ignored it. Until I realized that my blood was being drained from me. I then realized that I was feeding on my cousin. He wasn't a snack. He was my cousin, Haruto Uzumaki. I broke away and jumped back. I wiped the blood from my mouth. I breathe heavily as I realized what I had just down.
"Haruto. I'm so sorry." I said trying to control my voice.
"It's okay. Really." He said breathing heavily. "Now... kill me..." He said.
"What?" I shrieked. "Sh..." Haruto whispered. He began to cough. "Haruto! Are you okay?" I ran over to him in worry. "Kill me and I will be." He pleaded. "What's going on? What happened to you?" I asked worried. "I'll explain once... I'm able... to... speak... again..." He muttered. I could fell his heart slowly down. "Haruto!" I yelled. I looked around panicking. I then placed my hand on either side of his neck and twisted it quickly, causing it to snap.
I placed him on my bed and passed around nervously. I began chewing my long nails, knowing they'd come back. I suddenly heard someone trying to gasp and grab some air. I turned around and saw Haruto's chest raising. I rushed over to him. "Haruto?" I panicked. He crest my cheek. "I'm fine. I came back. Isn't that amazing?" He said as he laughed.
That sound... it was full of evil... I backed away. Haruto looked at me when he sat up. Then everything was back to normal. "What's wrong?" He asked. I blinked and shook my head. "I need to get going. ' have to be back before dinner." I said as I went back over to my book.
"Where ya headin'?" He asked. 'He even sounds different...' I noted. I imaged shields blocking my mind and their they were. "I need to get the water crystal next." I said as I flipped to the page and sat on the floor.
I touched on the next link. My hair blew slightly and I could smell the ocean; I could feel the breeze and feel the sand beneath my feet. I could hear the ocean waves crashing gently; could hear the waterfall cascading into a moving river. When I open my eyes, I'm at the page.
Cleansing darkness
This water charm is used to cleanse the darkness out of the PHYSICAL BODY. This does not effect the spirit; just the body. Cleansing Darkness can be found in cascading waterfalls that flow into a ravine.
I sighed and reached toward the map. All I saw was river symbols. Nothing telling me about a waterfall or a ravine. Then I slapped my forehead. "God, I'm stupid..." I mumble to myself.
I stand up and focus. "I cannot find what I must. Show me a holographic must!" I chanted. I looked all around and then Haruto coughed. I looked at the map. It was holographic and in 3D. I smiled as I studied the map.
"Hm. I never knew that Kikyo's river was a ravine." Haruto mumbled interested. I looked over at him. "Are you eavesdropping?" I asked annoyed. Haruto shrugged. "I want to help you and get your mother back. I miss my aunt for crying out loud. She had to be the best. Aside from my mom and Aunt Lauren..." He mumbled the last part.
"Fine. You can come. But you need to stay with me. I'm the sorcerer vampire here, remember." I said standing up again. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." He said standing with me. I took a deep breath. "Hang on to me." I said. He grabbed my hand. I closed my eyes and chanted. "From here to there, take US to the waterfall that starts Kikyo's ravine." I chanted. Something came up in my mind. 'SPELL TOO LONG.' It said.
"What the hell!" I yelled. "What?" Haruto asked. "It says the spell is too long!" I yelled frustrated. "Try shorting in. If it's suppose to be a chant, it's gotta be sort. If it's a spell, is got to be long. What you just said, is in the middle." Haruto explained. I stared at him. "Okay..." I thought for a moment.
I closed my eyes and tried again. "What I seek isn't here but in the clean depths of Kikyo's ravine. But the ravine itself isn't what I need. I need the waterfall that cascades the clean water into the depths of the ravine. I need to go to the waterfall. Please, take us from here to there." I said hoping it was long enough to be a spell. I felt the air shift a lot before I open my eyes. I looked around and saw we were at the top of it!
"This is amazing!" Haruto yelled astonished for once in his life.
I smiled. "See you at the bottom!" I yelled as I took a rock and skidded to the bottom. I then tumbled into the water. Being pushed under by the waterfall. I smiled as I swam up to the top. Damon's jacket was still torn and now it was soaked. I was too, but hell, I didn't care! I always loved the water.
I saw something sparkle in the distance. I swam to it and got up. There was a small cave and it was glowing now. I covered my eyes by the glow. I then looked around, realizing we came out before it got dark. Thank god it was very cloudy out. I sighed, relived. I then went up to the crystals. They were so gorgeous, so blue... so true. I reached out and slid my fingers over them. They sparkled even though there was no sun out. I pulled Damon jacket out and started to carefully pluck some out.
I went back up when I was done and saw Haruto having a blast.
"Come on! It's time to go. It's almost dinner." I said with a smile.
Haruto smiled and nodded. He then grabbed onto my hand again as I chanted, "From here to there, take us back home." The air shifted and we were home just as the door knocked.
I answered it. "Yes?" I asked.
"Dinner's ready." Aunt Lauren said. I nodded and opened the door. I left Damon's jacket there. So now I was just wearing a ripped tank top and loose shorts. I have no idea how they got loose but I couldn't tighten.
Oh, well.
"Hey, Kenkai, we need to talk." Came a deep, male voice.
I gulped. I searched the outline. It was a little too dark to get enough of the outline. But I did see the spiky hair and could only guess one person.
