Chapter 9
"Because I noticed you constantly looking at her and on top of that I got a call that you had gone out to see a young mistress that had caught your attention and immediately I knew who you were with and why." Vlad replied quietly.
He led them into the room he was staying in and began looking around and searching for anything hidden that might have over heard them. Kyoko cast a spell that rendered anything in the room that was hidden or could be used for recording anything useless. Once they deemed the room safe to use they looked at each other and sighed and quickly the guises that Kyoko and Kira had disappeared.
"Sorry Kira I need a rest from holding the spell that long." Kyoko said apologetically.
"It's fine." Kira said quickly feeling drained and exhausted.
"You can speak openly now Kira at least as long as we're in this room, and you'll have to change back into those forms you took for dinner which will be in less then a half an hour now." Vlad replied and leaned against the wall.
Kira was in away glad to see him but couldn't help glaring at him.
"Don't glare at me Kira." Vlad said coldly.
"Enough." Kyoko said to both of them and both fell silent and looked at the ground.
Kira's was still amazed at how much authority Kyoko held in someone else's castle and in a much older vampire's presence, but then again what else did he expect from a vampire princess.
"You said you knew why I left, then tell why did I leave?" Kira asked casually.
"You left to go see Kyoko right and get her help on finding Danny." Vlad said not looking up.
"Wrong." Kira said.
Vlad looked up then. "Oh really?"
"He came to me and Miyuki knowing that Danny was with us in some shape or form." Kyoko said and Vlad nodded.
"Not going to argue with her?" Kira asked meaning the question to be both a jab and irony.
"No I know exactly who Fate is I don't need someone to tell me that and I know the powers she has, so of course I'm not going to argue with her." Vlad said casually and waved away the question.
Kyoko sat on the bed watching them intently.
"Then why did you argue with Danny?" Kira asked meaning to say it exactly as it sounded.
Silence filled the room. The question hung in the air as if it were some unwanted visitor, Kyoko looked down not wanting to know any reasons for anything and Vlad only turned to stare out the window. Kira had walked forward a little and was now standing beside Kyoko.
"Can you tell me?" He asked her looking at her sincerely.
She shook her head no and remained quiet and he knew that she rather not find out.
"Well are you going to answer me?" Kira said calmly seeming more grown up now as if he were actually Danny's age.
"Because…" Vlad said as if the subject hurt him more then Kira knew.
"Because why Vlad!? Because he's going to have your kid!" Kira burst out.
"No its no because of that!" Vlad snapped turning around instantly.
"Kira please don't argue with him." Kyoko asked quietly.
"I will when I get the answers." Kira said gently to her.
"You want the answer Kira! I did it because I wouldn't have been able to protect him, you and the kid that's why! Do you honestly think I don't wish I could take that mistake back!? I would love to more then anything but I simply can't!" Vlad yelled.
"STOP IT!" Kyoko yelled running in between the two of them.
They looked stunned.
"We can't change the past, he knows that, you know that and I know that but please stop fighting! Has this situation really put you two against each other." Kyoko said on the verge of crying now.
"Kyoko…" Kira began and then drifted off.
He hugged her trying to calm her down again.
"You two can't fight each other! Please work together like you used to." Kyoko said sobbing now and Kira held her tighter.
"Ssshhh… its fine I'll stop I promise." Kira said soothingly.
Kyoko's crying got softer and softer and before long she had stopped crying all together, Vlad watched almost ready to cry himself remembering how he used to comfort Danny and then things would get a little hot, but he counted it as a good memory. Watching them he felt bad and turned away again and looked out the window wondering where Danny could be right now.
"He's not safe, you sentenced him to die." Kira said softly.
"You think I don't regret everything I've done? I know now what Hero's planning and he wants to get me involved but then you two came and I'm grateful for it." Vlad said.
Kira continued to hold onto Kyoko.
"It's near too late to change it all." Kyoko said and Kira looked at her and Vlad turned around to look at her.
"Cain… He knows what's going to happen." Kyoko began.
"How so?" Vlad asked in a panic now.
"What Miyuki and I know he doesn't know however what we don't know he knows." Kyoko replied.
"What is going to happen to Danny?" Vlad asked.
"Danny… He's going to…" Kyoko began and tears stung her eyes once more.
"Danny's going to what Kyoko?" Kira asked.
"Die!" Kyoko said falling to her knees and Kira held her to him as he kneeled on the ground with her.
Vlad froze, he felt his heart beating faster and faster and his mind became a jumbled blur and the only thing he could do was think of Danny. He looked at Kyoko horrified.
"When and how?" Vlad asked.
"I don't know when all I know is that Hero's going to kill Cain and then poison Danny." Kyoko cried baring her face in her hands.
"Kyoko its ok we'll figure something out we just need to get…" Kira began.
"Quiet change back into your guises." Vlad warned.
Kyoko quietly stood and changed hers and Kira's form again.
"Coco are you alright?" Kira asked.
"N—no not really." Kyoko replied crying hugging Kira back.
They heard a knock on the door and watched as Hero came in.
"My dear what's wrong?" He asked.
"She's just a little sad." Vlad replied seeing how Kyoko couldn't even stop crying.
"Why's that?" Hero asked him looking worried.
Kira noticed a gleam in his eyes and Kira knew that Hero had sent someone out to try and kill him all he had to do was to wait for Hero to give himself away.
"Oh, why's that? Did something happen to Kira?" Hero asked innocently and Vlad glared at him knowing what Hero was getting at.
Kyoko shook her head no and Hero stopped smiling.
"Then what is it that upsets you so?" Hero asked and Kira gripped Kyoko closer to him.
"One of the maids that was a close friend of hers has passed away and so I'm afraid we have to leave sooner then we intended." Vlad said calmly looking emotionless as if he felt sorry for the girl but not anyone else.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Hero said smiling and looking pleased with himself.
Everyone stayed silent except for Kyoko who was sobbing.
"I'm sorry that you'll have to stay here with your other friend, Kyoko, who ever she maybe, however I feel no sympathy for Miyuki's death." Hero hissed.
Vlad froze and so did Kira though it went unnoticed.
"What are you talking about I do not know any Kyoko?" She said still sounding helpless and defenseless and was playing off the situation.
"I heard Kyoko." Hero said looking around the room.
Kyoko shook her head no as Hero began to search around the room frantically as if something were out of place and he could prove that Coco was Kyoko. Vlad had to keep from laughing in order to make sure that Hero never knew that Kira and Kyoko were standing in the room with them.
"I heard them." Hero argued his voice sounding distant as if questioning his own thoughts.
"Perhaps you're hearing things Hero; I have maids going to check on Kira constantly." Vlad said.
"Well then perhaps Coco can tell us where he is, for surely she knows I mean she came to get you so she had to have gone to check on Kira." Hero said turning to face Vlad.
"And Angel obviously." Vlad said as if Hero was purposefully trying to avoid talking about him.
Angel bowed and Hero responded by nodding.
"Kira is within the village to the east of here visiting a girl; she is really pretty as is her friend." Kyoko responded whipping tears from her eyes.
"Really so if I were to call the mansion that's near there where Kira is more then likely staying while visiting these friends of his, then they'll tell me that that's exactly where he is?" Hero asked suspiciously.
Kyoko nodded knowing that the people with in the coven would do exactly that in order to cover for her.
"Very well then." Hero said picking up the phone that was on a table hidden in a dark corner that no one really noticed.
Hero dialed a few numbers and then turned the speaker phone on as if he were going to get all the proof he needed in order to catch Kyoko's act. The phone rang for a few moments before someone finally answered the phone; Kira's heart was beating rapidly as someone on the other end asked hello.
"Hi this is Hero; by any chance do you know where Kira is?" Hero asked as if the other person knew.
Kira felt like he was going to faint.
"Kira?" The person asked and Hero smirked.
"Yes Vlad's adopted son." Hero said pretending to sound annoyed.
"Oh! Yes of course he's here." The person said and Kira's fear gradually faded.
"Is Kyoko there too?" He asked and then Kira's heart nearly stopped.
"But of course she is here in fact her, Miyuki, and Kira are talking in the library why?" The person said without falter, but Kira wasn't about to stop worrying just yet.
"May I speak with Kira and then Kyoko?" Hero asked.
Kira held back a flinch at how Hero spat the names out as if they were poison.
"Yes of course, just a minute." The person said walking away.
Kira heard a door slide open and a bunch of people's laughing along with the other person that was on the phone asking for forgiveness for intruding. And then Kira almost fainted again when he heard a voice that sounded exactly like Kyoko's say it was alright, and then another voice came that sounded exactly like his. He glanced back at Vlad who looked equally astonished but then quickly hid it. He then looked to Kyoko who was holding back a smirk, did she know what was going on? Kira had no clue, but he was grateful that there were people playing as him and Kyoko so at least he knew that they wouldn't get busted.
"Yes hello?" The person that sounded like him asked.
"Is this Kira?" Hero asked as if he were amazed himself.
"Yes." The voice said sounding more serious now then it did back in what Kira presumed to be the library.
"Oh I thought you were here." Hero said completely dumbfounded.
"No I'm visiting some friends of mine why? Is Vlad worried about me or something? Because honestly there's no need to send twenty maids to check on me." The person said.
Vlad laughed now not being able to hold back.
"The boy's perceptive." Vlad lied.
"Indeed, do you know the last two maids that visited you?" Hero asked hoping beyond anything that this would bust the two.
Kira froze in place and Kyoko's eyes widened and Kira could tell she wasn't even suspecting Hero to ask that kind of question.
"Yeah I do why?" The person asked.
"Can you tell me their names?" Hero pressed smirking again as if he caught them in a huge lie.
"Coco my fiancé and her sister Angel." The person said and Kyoko looked just as amazed and thankful as Kira and Vlad.
"Ok thanks may I please speak to Kyoko?" Hero asked sounding astonished once more.
The person said yes for their answer and passed the phone to the girl who sounded like Kyoko.
"Yes Hero?" She asked and Hero somewhat laughed.
"Perceptive as ever." Hero said smirking.
"Yeah so?" The girl said.
"By any chance have you seen Danny? Oh and any maids from Vlad's castle?" Hero asked.
"Danny I haven't seen number one and two yes there have been maids from Vlad's castle coming to check up on Kira it's sort of annoying." The girl said and the real Kyoko smiled which made Kira smile too.
"I thought I heard you in the room I'm in now with Vlad and two other maids." Hero said hoping to draw out names from the girl on the other end.
"You mean Coco and Angel? Yeah apparently something urgent happened at Vlad's castle, that's what they told Kira and then Kira told me." The girl said smoothly.
"Ah, yes, well…Umm… Vlad is on his way back with the two maids right now just so you know and tell Kira that too." Hero said.
"Yeah sure, oh and Miyuki wanted me to tell you something because she had to go check on something that's happening in the dinning room." The girl told him.
"Something happened in the dinning room?" Hero asked suspiciously.
"Yeah well you know how the others are they're always getting into fights." The girl replied calmly.
"Yes indeed I do so what derogatory name and/ or thing does that bitch want to tell me now?" Hero asked.
Kira saw the rage in Kyoko's eyes as Hero said that and Kira knew immediately it was taking everything in Kyoko's power to not get up and punch Hero.
"she told me to tell you that you are a good for nothing worthless piece of shit not worthy of any special powers except to scratch your own ass." The girl said.
Kyoko and Kira couldn't help, but to start laughing and both fell to the flower with tears in their eyes from the pain of laughing. Vlad was cracking up as well and all three of them knew exactly who was pretending to be Kyoko, it was none other the Miyuki herself and she probably got others to act as her and Kira.
"Tell her she's a worthless piece of shit for me will you please." Hero said sighing and bright red from embarrassment.
"Yes of course." Miyuki said as she hung up the phone.
Hero did like wise before turning to the others behind him who were crying from laughing so hard.
"Forgive me for letting you hear such things and for speculating the worst of you two." Hero said to Kyoko and Kira.
"It is ok." Kira said whipping tears from his face and helping Kyoko up.
"I believe it is time for us to get going to see what all the ruckus is all about at my mansion." Vlad said as he started for the door.
"Yes I will see you hopefully later." Hero said bowing.
"Yes perhaps if the situation isn't so dramatic." Vlad said as he walked out the door followed by Kira and Kyoko.
They were silent until they were miles away from Hero's castle.
"Well that was quite interesting." Vlad said.
"How did they know to play as us?" Kira asked.
"Because Miyuki knows everything practically." Kyoko replied winking.
Kira blushed and then went to hold her hand making Vlad smile.
"I see you two have gotten to know each other better." Vlad joked.
"Yeah so." Kira replied looking at Kyoko who was bright red and then fully understood what Vlad had hinted at. "What the hell?"
"What Kira?" Vlad asked innocently.
"Don't give me that bull you know damn well you meant that in the most perverted way possible!" Kira yelled at him not realizing he had changed back into his normal self.
"Hey look at that you're a boy again." Vlad mocked.
Soon it turned into a shouting mach and Kyoko had screamed really loudly and really high pitched in order to shut them up.
"Oww!" They said in unison.
"Then shut-up and stop fighting, we're back too by the way." She said as they came upon the coven once more.
