Yeah the next chapter! Actually I'm sad to say that this is the last chapter of this story so please review to let me know how much you liked it. I'm sorry that it sounds weird in third person because lately I have been writing in first person so much that my third person, in general, sounds weird as hell. Anyway I hope you enjoy the story as much as I enjoyed writing it even though I didn't update so often. OH! And at the end read the bolded words, like some people do. Thank you.
Chapter Twelve
Kyoko was running so fast that even Vlad was having a hard time keeping up with her; luckily for him he knew the way to the covenant by heart now. It wasn't the same for Kira who was falling behind miserably and didn't have the slightest clue where the hell the covenant was. All he had on his mind was running and Kyoko, maybe arguing with Vlad as well but that is something that could wait for another time. Kyoko didn't even notice the lack of vampires until she stopped to look back to make sure that they were keeping up with her, it was obvious that she had forgotten how much faster she was than the other two. She waited silently for a while until both of them came into view, she sighed as she realized that it was Kira who was the slowest of them and the worst part was that he didn't know the exact location of the covenant yet like Vlad.
"I'm sorry I forgot how much faster I was compared to you two, it's a curse." She shrugged.
"It's alright I know the way to the covenant." Vlad replied smiling.
She shook her head, "You do but Kira doesn't that's the problem and we are running out of time as it is. If we don't get to the covenant quickly and then return to your castle before Hero gets there Danny, Caine, Miyuki and your new child will all be killed Vlad. Having a straggler is only going to slow us down."
"So you're proposing that I kill him."
"No I am not."
"Ok I'll kill him."
"No you won't."
Vlad was smirking as he advanced on the tired Kira who was wanting to back away but just sat tiredly on the ground unable to move.
"VLAD IF YOU SO MUCH AS TOUCH HIM I WILL KILL YOU!" Kyoko screamed loudly, so loud that the birds in the trees all flew off.
Vlad and Kira were in shock and fear as well as wide-eyed, they had no idea how on edge she was until that point in time.
Vlad put his hands up, "I'm not touching him, I was joking about killing him too just so you know."
Kyoko's face turned thirty shades of red making the Vlad and Kira want to laugh but knew that was probably not the best idea.
"Like I said we can't have stragglers." Kyoko said twiddling her thumbs while looking down still bright red.
"No worries I'll just carry him on my back so we don't waste anymore time."
"I hate you sometimes Vlad."
"Oh I know."
"Is there something I missed?"
"Nope! Not at all!" They said in unison only serving to make her even more suspicious.
"Boys sometimes." She whispered before carrying on.
They kept a reasonable distance behind her for Vlad was chuckling more than, well, anyone and Kira was bright red cursing him. They arrived at the covenant soon enough, Vlad and Kira of course later than Kyoko so by the time they arrived she already had everything they needed sitting out font.
"Well grab some stuff and let's go." She smiled as she piled about a quarter of the thing in the front into a bag before running off again.
Vlad stuffed the rest of it into the remaining two bags and tossed one of them to Kira.
"Be lucky I'm feeling a little generous right now." Vlad said throwing his bag over his shoulder, "I took the heaviest bag."
Kira rolled his eyes before throwing his bag over his shoulder as well and began running to catch up to Vlad. They had both lost sight of Kyoko but the path that the two were on was much more familiar to Kira and he knew Vlad purposefully led him this way because it would be easier on him.
"I guess you aren't that big of a dick after all." Kira said as he caught up to Vlad.
"And I guess you aren't such a nuisance either." Vlad smiled.
"So I take it you finally accept the fact Danny adopted me than."
"Well our child does need an older brother so of course."
"Just admit that you're cool with it."
"Fine I'm cool with it."
"Good because the kids going to have an older sister as well, two of them and another older brother."
"So you admit that you like Kyoko and since her and Miyuki are practically sisters…"
"Miyuki is going to be the second older sister and her boyfriend Cain is going to be the other older brother."
"The problem is that we don't know if the child is going to be a guy or a girl."
"Either way it's going to have a very protected and comfortable life."
"Of course especially if it's a girl and if any guy touches her I'll drain them dry before burning them to ashes."
Kira laughed, "You wouldn't be the only one to have that sort of idea."
As they exited the forest they came upon an already bloody battle field with Kyoko fighting off hordes of other vampires and demons with Miyuki not that far behind her. They were in despite need of help, Vlad could smell Kyoko's bleeding leg and arm a mile away because the scent was so strong that it over powered the other smells of coppery red liquid. There would be no escape from this war now and before he knew it Kira was jumping in to help Kyoko and Miyuki. Vlad dropped the rest of the weapons up with them before pulling a few for himself.
"Vlad Hero's in the castle!" Kyoko screamed over the cries of the battle worn and dying demons around them.
Vlad's heart almost stopped, if only he never yelled at Danny none of this would have happened or started in the first place. Everything would have been fine and their lives would have been happier without having to worry about death creeping ever closer to them. He took the few weapons he had and ran to Danny's aid hoping and praying that he would reach him before Hero did.

Danny held his silently sleeping children wrapped in blankets as he hid in the library with the maids who were just as terrified and frightened as he was. Not once did he ever imagine that Hero would break into the castle and the only thing he could think of was that Kyoko, Miyuki, Kira and Vlad had to be dead. Cain was asleep, wounded beyond the help of normal doctors, but he wasn't recovering fast enough to be able to fight if Hero found them in fact he might be the first one Hero would kill. Luckily before the panic his daughter and her identical twin sister decided they wanted to come out and so he changed back into a boy after their birth, the only problem was that he didn't have a name for them yet. After all it was hard as hell to try and come up with names when your life and your new born twins' lives were in danger. He thought his reasoning for not having names for them was pretty damn good.
"Danny." One of the maids whispered, "You need to hide."
"There is nowhere to hide." He said looking down at the two sleeping little girls with short black hair with streaks of silvery white entwined within.
A crash at the door singled the horror that lay beyond.
"It's happening all over again but this time it seems there are two more victims to add to the tragedy." Danny whispered as he hugged the two girls with tears running down his face, "I'm sorry."
"Hand them to me I can hide with them so they'll be safe." The maid said.
Danny trusted this maid only because she was one that Kyoko knew and trusted that was the only reason why she was here. He was grateful that Kyoko and Miyuki had trusted contacts that could help them the only problem was that everything seemed to be reaching the end. Death was so close now that he thought it was impossible to escape it only prolong it. He handed the two girls to her and she immediately found a hiding spot in the darkness of the second floor in the library. The door crashed in and standing there smirking was Hero ready to wreak vengeance on any and everyone around him.
"So this is where you were hiding Danny to bad you're going to die now along with Cain and everyone else in this room." He smugly said. "Now where are that precious little child you had, we'll start with it."
"They died at birth."
Hero looked just as surprised as anyone in the room that he said that with sadness but didn't break down. He had to protect them even if he didn't live to watch them grow up at least they would have the maids to take care of them.
"Very well." Hero's smirk grew wider, "That just makes this a whole lot faster for me than because that is, I guess, two nuisances that I will not have to deal with."
Hero looked over at Cain who was sleeping on the couch still recovering before looking at Danny. He knew that Hero had made his decision to start with him rather than Cain because he would get a bigger kick out of someone living screaming in pain until they slowly died.
"If you're going to kill me you minus well begin the torment." He said.
Danny closed his eyes as Hero charged for him with his sword drawn, at least this time he wasn't going to get raped. The pain never came nor did the screams of everyone around him and for once he wondered if he actually died. Slowly he opened his eyes to see Hero across the room and Vlad standing in front of him pissed beyond all hell but looking thankful that he reached the library in time.
"Vlad!"
Vlad chuckled, "You're insane if you think I'm going to let you die."
"I never thought that it's just…" Danny looked at the floor.
"You thought I was already dead because Hero had gotten into the castle didn't you?"
He nodded his head still unable to look at Vlad without turning bright red with embarrassment. Before he knew it the true fight began, in one corner Vlad was pissed as hell that someone had attacked Danny and in the other was a vengeance seeking prick that would do most anything to kill Danny.
"You're too late Vlad Danny even said that the children had died at birth." Hero said shocking Danny, "To bad you weren't able to save them but you might be able to still save your lover."
Danny didn't dare look up to meet Vlad's sorrow filled gaze, the only ones that knew the children were alive were Danny and everyone else in the room that were in here before Hero burst through the door. Hopefully the children would remain asleep until the battle was over, if not they would be in over their heads.
"DIE!" Hero yelled as he ran full speed towards Vlad.
He was countered by Vlad spinning to miss the full front of the sword, narrowly, and slashed at Hero. Danny's heart raced and he couldn't help but glance up at the dark balcony where one of the maids hid with the twins.
'Please don't let them cry' Danny thought as he looked back at the brawl between Hero and Vlad.
Both of them had lost their weapon at some point in the fight and now resorted punching and pummeling the other like animals. If anything was going to wake the twins it would be the loud shouting and cursing between the two very pissed off vampires that were trying to kill each other. Just as Vlad pinned Hero to the ground ready to slit his throat with some broken glass he grabbed there was crying. Both were silent thinking it was Danny.
Danny went wide-eyed, 'No!'
He quickly disappeared before Hero and Vlad could look at him, he had to help the maid get them to be quiet so they wouldn't know.
"Ssshhhh." Danny whispered holding one of them while the maid held the other trying to comfort both of them. "It's ok I'm here, I'm here."
His heart was racing even more because they wouldn't be quiet, he didn't want Hero to find them but at the same time they didn't know there was a threat in the room . He didn't know what to do and his heart almost stopped when he heard Vlad scream in pain.
"Liar!" Hero hissed. "They didn't die at birth they are here!"
Danny's panic grew as he heard Hero making his way up the stairs to the second floor of the library as quickly as he could. His worst nightmare was now standing on the opposite side of the landing, he was torn between fighting and the kids. However, he that if he didn't fight the kids wouldn't be an issue, they wouldn't be alive to know their father or other siblings. Danny handed the one he was holding to the maid before stepping forward ready to fight to the death.
Hero laughed, "You have no weapon and you have no skill in physical combat, I have the upper advantage. Both you and your children will die right here in front of Vlad to make this all the sweeter for me."
"I doubt that." Danny hissed back.
"Danny!" Vlad called as he threw something up at him.
He caught it but flinched in pain as he realized that he caught the sword Hero had tried to kill him with earlier. He flipped the blade around so he was holding the handle instead of the blade before lunging at Hero with all of his furry. He wasn't going to let them die, he wasn't going to let anyone die! Hero was so surprised that Danny knocked the weapon he had out of his hands and ran Hero through.
"It looks like I'm not so weak after all." Danny whispered as he jumped back from the dying vampire in front of him.
Vlad stumbled up the stairs just as Kira came in with Kyoko limping and leaning against him to keep her balance while Miyuki slowly waltzed in with multiple wounds and surprised everyone that she was still breathing. No one knew that the trio was still alive until they sat down as if nothing happened, and as if their wounds were never there.
"What are you going to name them?" Miyuki asked as she sat on Cain's legs making him wake in pain.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Cain screamed at her making him giggle.
"Yes what are you going to name them?" Kyoko asked more calmly leaning against the desk now with Kira still holding onto her to make sure she didn't fall.
"I don't know, but they're twin girls." Danny smiled.
"Yes, the most over protected kids in the entire world." Kira laughed confusing everyone but Vlad who only smirked.
"How about one of them is named Sophia?" Miyuki said, "That was my mother's name and she was sweet and caring towards everyone."
"Ok one of them will be named Sophia, I actually like that name."
Kyoko smiled, "Ryo."
"Ryo?" Everyone asked.
"Ryo or Sinistra." She said smiling, "Ryo was my great grandmother, she was fiery and a goddess but no one really understood that. Sinistra was my great, great grandmother who was and still is just as merciless and feisty as my great grandmother Ryo. Both of them were very protective and loving over the family and would stop at nothing to make sure that those within the family lived for all eternity in happiness without having to worry about death or the challenges that present themselves in the ugliest of ways. I was reminded of that when Vlad told the story of how he saved you from Jiro and it was refreshed when you saved everyone here including your children and Vlad. Family is the most important thing and it should never slip away like the tides of time no matter how bad it gets or how much fighting there is within."
Everyone stared in wide eyed at her story but she took it as a means to continue, "Ryo died protecting her twin brother Hikaru, me her great granddaughter and her granddaughter Aura. Sinistra had made the hard decision to exile Kaita her oldest daughter to protect her other children and almost died protecting Ryo, me, Hikaru, Akira and Aura in a fight against those in the dark war that ended ages ago. I almost forgot how long it has been since then but the memories remain intact."
"Sophia and Sinistra." Danny whispered as the maid handed one to Danny and the other to Vlad. "I like those names."
"Sophia is the sweetest and most loving." Vlad said as he looked down into the playful eyes of the child in his arms. "The one I'm holding is Sophia."
"Sinistra is the strongest one willing to put everything on the line in order to protect those she loves." Danny said smiling down at the silent child he held seeing the fire within her stunning ruby colored eyes.
"Sophia is the one with sapphire blue eyes and Sinistra is the one with ruby red eyes." The maid replied giggling.
Danny hadn't noticed that they both had different colored eyes until him and Vlad stood next to each other and both twins looked up at them. Both of them smiled down at them.

Eleven years later….
"Miyuki! Kyoko!" Sophia called as Sinistra silently followed her overjoyed sister.
"What is it?" They asked turning to the twins who had no idea of what almost happened eleven years before.
"I aced my test!" She said jumping up and down.
"What about you Sinistra?" Kyoko asked smiling.
"I aced mine too but I'm happy only if everyone else is happy." She said coolly as she leaned against the tree away from the water fountain near them.
"They really do live up to the story behind their names don't they?" Kyoko whispered to Miyuki.
She sighed, "They do! Sophia is sweet and loving where as Sinistra got sent home last week because she beat the living hell out of a kid making fun of her twin sister."
"The past repeats itself in the strangest of ways; they'll live to be the greatest."
"They'll live to take over our job as Fate and Destiny when we're gone."
"Where's Ryo?" Sinistra asked as a blood red haired girl with red eye emerged from the brush.
Kyoko sighed, "Where's your father this time Ryo? And is Hikaru with him as well?"
"They're back at the lake mommy." She said smiling as she leaned against the tree like Sinistra.
"And reincarnations can relive their own stories." Miyuki laughed as Kyoko sighed once again.
"The only difference is that I'm not dead yet."
"True." Miyuki said bowing.
Danny waltzed out in his dress making the group giggle as they walked up to him knowing that it was time for lunch.
"I guess this is our happily ever after huh?" Danny asked Kyoko and Miyuki.
"For now anyway." The two said in unison as Vlad walked out laughing.
They all laughed under the glow of the moon and stars happy to be in each others company.
Alright! DO NOT READ THIS UNTIL YOU ARE DONE READING THIS CHAPTER! I was curious should I make a story about the twins Sinistra and Sophia along with their cousins Ryo and Hikaru? If I do it will definitely be in first person and it will sound better then this since this is entirely in third person. If you liked this story and wish me to write a separate series for the two sets of twins please PM me or review and tell me otherwise I won't. Of course Danny and Vlad will be in the series along with Kira, Kyoko and Miyuki but not as much this one because it will mainly be about the twins and how the deal with thier lives. Also if I do get enough people telling me that I should create a separate series for Sinistra, Ryo, Hikaru and Sophia you will get to see how Vlad reacts to Sophia and Sinistra falling in love as well as Kira dealing with Hikaru and Ryo falling in love. It would be hilarious, sad and by far longer than this story and more than likely more updated since I have no other stories to write to or update and I have more free time. Thank you to all of you who have commented and kept on my ass about this story as well as those who have been patient I do appreciate it more than anyone will ever know. :)
