Hey everyone sorry for posting two days late, been busy with work and the talent show, hope you guys like this chapter and tell me what you think, next chapter up tomorrow ;)
Kagami held Kise by the scruff of his neck, pinning him agents the wall, "How did they die. TELL ME…" Kise, taken back by the sudden aggression from the man he had just hugged, stared straight. "Where there bite marks on their necks?"
Aomine walked up to Kagami and placed his hand on his shoulder, "Kagami let him go" The look he received sent a small chill down his spine, his eyes where filled with anger but his gaze soon softened.
Reluctantly he let go of Kise and turned to look away, "Sorry" he scratched the back of his neck…. What had come over him, was it that he itching for a fight, was it that he desperately wanted to leave this house and continue finding his Kuroko's murderer, all he knew was he had acted like a child in that split second of the hint that the killer might have been a vampire, and in just the town over no less.
"Wooo there tiger…." Kise closed his eyes letting out a sigh of relief as he rubbed his throat glad his head was still attached, "What's with you" Kise examined the man standing in front of him. "Apology accepted but please don't try to take my head off again" Kise smiled and offered his hand, "The names Kise, I'm the local Detective"
"Kagami" accepting the hand shake and smiled
Aomine gestured for everyone to fallow him to the living room and ordered Kagami to go make some coffee, reluctantly and with a sigh of annoyance Kagami complied heading off into the kitchen. With a smirk Aomine took his seat in the wing chair facing Kise who sat in the love seat across from him.
"A new toy?" Kise asked hinting at Aomine with a smirk.
"I'm sorry?" Aomine glared at him.
"That Kagami guy, I never thought you would let a human into your home" crossing his fingers and laying back on the sofa.
Aomine turned and looked out the window, this was the first human he had ever let into his home, and it was proving to be more trouble than it was worth, his hunger, his lust for that redheads blood was growing stronger, he could feel it, every time he would look at him or touch him thoughts would run rampant in his head of how the power of his blood would consume him and seeing that same look he saw that night he had tasted it for the first time grace his face. "I challenged him and he lost it's a simple as that" Turning back to Kise his look hardened, "Tell me about this incident"
"I can't say who it was, but I can saw that it wasn't a normal feeding, the bodies were tortured, one of them, the mother, had her neck broken. The other the father had his arms torn out of their socket, both legs broken and bled dry… The dau-" Kise stopped as the door opened with Kagami entering holding a tray with two cups, milk and sugar, placing it down on the table and serving them both.
Kagami looked over to Aomine, "May I stay" Aomine could detect a hint of anger in his voice, not sure if it was directed at him or at the situation Kise was explaining. "Take a seat Bakagami" waving him away disinterested.
Kise looked and Kagami then to Aomine wondering what kind of relationship they had, laughing to himself imagining a master and slave situation though he could tell from the fire in Kagami's eyes he would rather die before kneeling to someone else. "Like I was saying…. The Daughter was the only one that I had a hard time examining, there where bite marks all over her as well as deep cuts in her legs, arms and chest….. But that's not the worst part…." He paused…. Wondering if he should continue, the two were listening intently, he understood why Aomine would be listening so intently but not why Kagami was.
"Go on" Aomine noticed Kagami griping both hands together tightly, concentrating solely on what Kise was explaining, he remember the night when he first saw him, leaning agents the tavern wall nearly dead, what was his reason for fighting vampires, did he get a thrill out of it, was he seeking death, the thought of him wanting to die pissed him off, he had his life, a life to live and he's throwing it away. What is his reason for hunting his kind….
Complying Kise took a deep breath, "She was raped, brutally, and from what I can tell…. He did it in front of her parents…." Reaching into his bag he took out a cloth. "He left something behind though…" opening up the cloth he laid a small dagger on the table.
It was stained with dried blood, the blade was old and you could tell it had been used but never sharpened so the blade was dull, the hilt of the blade was leather with a gold line running down the center, on the gold lining there was an engraving. Reaching forward and taking it into his hands to get a closer look at the blade which looked so familiar, Kagami froze, no wonder this blade looked so familiar, it was his.
Studding him Aomine could see Kagami tense up and there was fear, fear in his eyes as he looked down at the knife. Right away he recognised the blade when Kise took it out of the cloth, it was given to the generals of the Seirin army, and only those who have proven themselves in battle were ever given one.
"Do you recognise the knife Kagami" Kise's question broke Kagami's fix on the blade, looking up he saw the two staring at him, worry in Kise's eyes and question in Aomine's, "Kagami?"
"Yes…. This belonged to me…."
Aomine's eyes widened, he was a general, sure as hell didn't dress or look like one, but he could fight… "What do you mean it belonged to you?"
"This was mine…. Long ago…" Kagami placed it back on the table and Kise wrapped it back in the cloth.
"Explain" Aomine regretted the harsh way it sounded but wanted to find out at least something that might life a bit of the mystery surrounding Kagami.
"I don't need to explain myself to you" Getting up and glaring down at Aomine he made his way to leave the room "Excuse me" he bowed to Kise and left.
Gritting his teeth in anger Aomine slammed down his fist on the table, ….who does he think he is, if I ask for an answer I had better damn get one… "Aomine who is that guy" turning his attention to the blond detective sitting across from him Aomine sighed in disinterest, "What does it matter"
Kise got up, his expression hardening at the blue-nets answer, "You know damn well why it matters, if this blade belonged to him, not only was he a General of the Seirin army, who from what I can tell deserted them, but he is my number one suspect in this case"
Aomine met the blonds gaze with a hint of rage, "He didn't kill them" getting up and staring down the smaller of the two he pointed to the direction Kagami left, "I might not know much about him but I can tell you this, Kagami is no killer…" For some reason, as soon as Kise accused Kagami of murdering those people, a fire raged inside him.
"Aomine this is the first time I have ever seen you defend someone before" Kise smirked, interested at how his friend reacted to Kagami.
"I'm not defending him, I can vouch for his innocence because he's been here for the past three days after his fight with a vampire two towns over" Aomine cursed himself for telling Kise what he had done.
"You mean… He's a hunter…. AOMINE…. What are you thinking…. If he finds out what yo-" Kise covered his mouth before he could finish receiving a deathly glare from the blue-net. "I don't understand why you're keeping a hunter around; I don't care if it's one of your fun like experiments but from what I can see…. He isn't and ordinary person, there seems to be a lot or rage in that man" Kise's look softened, "I don't want you getting yourself killed by a hunter"
"You make me out to be a weakling Kise" Aomine growled, he knew there was a chance of Kagami finding out who he really is, actually he was sure he was going to find out. None the less, he wasn't going to let Kagami out of his grasp.
"Listen I will keep you up to date on this situation but watch your back, if one of those vampires is in town…. And with the ball coming up, be certain to keep your guard up. They will probably come looking for him…." He knew full well that the vampires from the True ones coven didn't like it when their numbers would drop, even if only by one, and if that vampire that he killed the other night was one of theirs Kagami was surely going to be a target. God this guy causes nothing but trouble. "Watch your self Aomine" Kise waved as he left the house.
Walking down the halls Kagami ran through the memories of that night three years ago, he can still remember the feeling of the rain, the blood covering his hands and Kuroko…
"Kagami congratulations on becoming general" blue eyes filed with joy handed him a box "here its official" Opening the box he took out a sheathed blade, the detail was exquisite, worked leather with a gold trimming down the middle engraved 'The lion of Seirin'
"Kuroko you shouldn't have" he smiled as he ruffled the blue boy's hair.
"Kuroko get back…" He pushed him aside as he fended off the attack of the man in front only to be thrust to the ground with tremendous speed and force with a sword firmly imbedded in his leg, the man reached to the side of him drawing out his dagger.
"What a pretty dagger this is" he licked the blade as bloodthirsty eyes turned to Kuroko, running over with inhuman speed he thrust the blade through Kuroko's chest pinning him to a wall. Rain pouring down, Kagami unable to reach Kuroko in time only able to watch as the man sunk his teeth into his neck, watching as the life slowly drifted from his blue eyes.
Punching the wall Kagami fell to his knees gripping his hands tightly into a fist desperately trying to hold back the tears, if his dagger was here then that meant that his killer was in the next town over, but how was he going to leave, he knew that Aomine wasn't going to let him go…. So what…. How was he supposed to sneak out?
"If you're going to lay there and do nothing you're more of a weakling then I thought." Aomine stared down at the redhead and watched as he slowly got up, turning to face him. A fierce look of hate and pain in his eyes he could tell that the other was trying hard to hold back his tears….. What happened to you… Aomine gave him a challenging look back.
Kagami hated the fact that this asshole saw him like this, looking week; it pissed him off how every word this guy would say got under his skin. "Who you calling a weakling"
"What are you going to do?"
Kagami frowned, not understanding the question. "I'm sorry?"
"What are you going to do, are you just going to sit around here waiting for that man to come here and serve himself on a golden platter just for you? Or are you going to ask for help" Aomine hardened his gaze, wanting, needing some answers to the mystery standing in front of him.
"Help…. What make you think I need help" Kagami crossed his arms across his chest, The nerve that guy has, telling him to ask for help, he's never asked for help in his life, what make this guy think he's going to start now. Though…. that bastard might have a point, he doesn't know anything about this place …so maybe asking for help wouldn't be bad in this situation…. NO like hell…. I'm not giving this guy that satisfaction….
"Look you don't know anything about this town or how things work around here…. I will give you two choices…" Aomine smirked "Seeing as how you belong to me, you have to pick one or the other… Tell me why you are so deadest on killing vampires and I will help you, or don't tell me and I will turn you over to Kise who thinks you killed those people because you said that dagger belonged to you"
Kagami just starred, did Kise really think he killed those people…. Should he tell him everything…. Or at least some of it…. Gritting his teeth and furious at the two choices handed to him by this blue-net who pissed him off more and more with each passing second, sighing he decided that the more chances he had of getting this guy the closer he would be to fulfilling his promise. Reluctantly and with a bit of distain he agreed to tell Aomine why he hunted Vampires.
Back in the living room, the light from the setting sun giving a light glow to the room, Kagami sat, fingers laced together, staring straight into the fire and took a deep breath. "Three years ago someone very close to me was murdered by a vampire. I was a general of the Seirin Army, my first lieutenant, also my best friend, never left my side, and when we were doing our search of one of the towns that had rumours of an enemy spy, we were attacked by something we had never fought before, it was fast, too fast and stronger than any man I'd fad faced in the past. Trying to protect Kuroko I made a fatal mistake and was pinned to the ground with a sword embedded in my leg, the vampire took my dagger and within seconds it was thrust into his chest, but the vampire didn't stop there, he took Kuroko into his arms and turned to me…. He…. He sank his bloody teeth in and sucked him till he was at the within inches of death dropping him to the floor and taking my dagger with him. That night he died in my arms… At that point I promised him I would find his killer, I quite the army and searched for his killer, though with every vampire that I have killed to date I was still no closer to finding his killer…. I don't remember what the vampire looks like, all I know is he had my dagger….." Rage ran through his body, "Vampires are disgusting creatures, killing people for their own joy and entertainment, finding every way possible to torture and destroy what they touch. I made it my goal to rid the earth of these creatures…"
Aomine sat across from him studying him, listening to every word, now he understood why he wanted so badly to kill vampires, why he became a hunter, but what still eludes him is why he's so strong, a normal human doesn't have the strength to kill a vampire, and even though the Vatican has hunters, not one has ever really succeeded in killing off a vampire without dying in the proses. He was going to have to be careful around this guy, if his hate for vampires runs this deep who knows what he will do if and when he finds out he is no different. "Is that it?" Yawning in disinterest Aomine got up and stared down at Kagami, though his domineer reflected disinterest he felt for him, having a past just as bad if not more so, "Well Bakagami if you really want to find this vampire I hope you know how to dance"
Kagami got up, anger raging through him, he had just told him about his past, something he has never told anyone, and this guy is making fun of him, "Do you think this is a fucking joke, you asked me to tell you why I hunt them, and your telling me that to find him I have to know how to dance."
"Bakagami…"Aomine smirked "Every year the town hold a ball where everyone is invited, and if you have done your research properly, a vampires prefers to hunt in large crowds where he can walk among humans undetected, and what better place than a ball" Aomine walked over to Kagami pulling him onto his arms, and the look he received from the redhead made him smirk, "From the look on your face I'm guessing you have never danced before"
Kagami tried to push away from Aomine, what was he thinking pulling him into his arms like that. The feeling of his arms around him reminded him of that morning, waking up with his arms around him, how….good…it felt, trying to hide the blush that was fast growing on his face he looked away. "Ahomine of course I know how to dance" no I don't but I sure as hell aint telling you that
"Really…. You're such a bad lire!" Aomine turned Kagami's face to look at him, a blush present on his face, a rush of heat ran through his body. With a lustful gaze and whispering low "I could teach you" pulling Kagami.
His low voice sent shivers down his spine, what was it about being close to this guy that both pissed him off one second and made him loose his senses the next, he looked into Aomine's eyes, they were different, full of lust and challenge, Aomine leaned closer, close enough he could feel his breath oh his lips, warm. Eyes slowly softening and lips inches away from one another "Then… why don't you…" Kagami spoke in a low and husky voice, his heart rate quickening.
Aomine closed his eyes and smirked as he leaned in so seal their lips, brushing so close to one another, inches apart and just as there lips touched a loud crash broke them apart.
"My…My what do we have here….."
