Aomine sat across Midorima, the room dimly lit by the fire, wondering what brought his old friend all the way here from the east. He hadn't changes one bit, 105 and still as cocky looking as ever, glancing at his hands he noticed that he still wrapped the tip of his fingers and carried, what he could only guess, his lucky item of the day, todays seemed to be a cross… how ironic. "What is it you wanted to tell me" Aomine laced his fingers together as he studied his guest.

Pushing up his glasses Midorima sighed a sigh of annoyance and gave Aomine a worried glare, "Picking up strays I see" he nodded his head in the direction they had just come from receiving a threatening glare from Aomine.

"If you're going to second guess who I let in my house and who I don't you will see how fast I throw people I don't like out my house" His gaze challenging those green eyes.

Smirking Midorima relaxed back into the chair, "The reason I came here tonight it to warn you. That man you are letting stay with you has quite a background and has amassed quite a few enemies, some of which are here in town." Midorima took a sip of his tea then reaching into his bag and pulling out a thick file, "Everything I know about him is in here, when Kise said that the Lion of Seirin was staying at your place I had to come over and show you…. I have been fallowing him for a long time, recording every vampire this man has ever killed."

Aomine reached forward grabbing the file and looking at all the photos of the vampires he's taken down, every one of them was a True One, no wonder there were so many after him, and to think he's lasted this long… but now… he's got the attention of Akashi…. "He's killed all of them?" Aomine put down the pictures of his kills only to have a smaller one fall to the floor, it was a picture of Kagami and someone else… he was shorter, blue hair and bright blue eyes, the two looked so happy, the smile on Kagami's face was bright, he had his arm around the shorter ones shoulder pulling him close….

"His name was Kuroko, Kagami's first lieutenant and from what I've heard, he's the reason Kagami turned from General to Hunter." He watched as Aomine looked over the photo studding every detail.

"Yeah… he told me a little about that had happened, and now we know that it was Akashi who killed him." Aomine put down the picture and took up another; it was a hazy picture, not very good quality, and from what he could tell it was a picture of Kagami… though this one… he could faintly make out the figure of someone standing not far away from Kagami in the back ground, he wasn't very tall… and…. Aomine's eyes widened, looking over the other pictures taken of him, in every photo, not far away was the figure. "Midorima… Is this who I think it is?" Aomine turned the picture to Midorima pointing at the figure in the back ground.

"I can't be certain for sure but I think it might be... Keep the file, I have another copy… Anyways, I want you to be careful around him… I'm not quite sure what it is yet but I don't trust him…. Aomine there's something off about him" Midorima Watched as Aomine took the file and placed it in the drawer of the table.

"He intrigues me, it's been a long time since I've been interested in anything"

"You don't have to tell me what" Midorima smirked

Aomine shot him an annoyed glare, walking to the window Aomine looked out upon his property, it was quite, almost like the quiet before the storm. "Whatever Kagami is…. Come hell or high water I'll find out…"

Kise glanced over to Kagami; there was a pained look on his face, "… to answer your question… no…" Kagami's eyes softened almost relieved.

Looking over to Kise he felt his heart tighten, there was no softness of Kise's face, only sadness. "What happened Kise" Kise looked away and with a heavy sigh, continued.

"Though he didn't… with all his strength…. Watching his sister, she walked over to him and asked him to take her blood… He told her to let him die, that he could never hurt her but she didn't listen…she didn't want to see hem suffering like that, so she cut herself… and with instinct taking over…"

Kagami could only imagine the pain he was going through, being put in that position… and his sister…. If he were in the same position he wouldn't have hesitated to do the same. Clenching his fist he punched down onto the stone, causing it to crack, his hatred growing deeper and deeper for Akashi. His blood boiled; gritting his teeth together he could imagine the feeling of holding Akashi's neck in his hands slowly squeezing the life out of him and the look of horror in his eyes, god how it would feel amazing to rip his heart out and feed it to the dogs.

Kise watched as a shadow grew over Kagami's face, a dark and menacing feeling surrounded him, slowly placing his hand on Kagami he was met with the gaze that sent a chill down his spine, dark glowing red eyes staring him down, no feeling, just hate, and the fierce look of a predator. "K…Kagami" Kise slowly moving his hand away was grabbed by a strong, tight gripping hand. "Kagami" Fear shot through him… this wasn't Kagami…. This was something different….

"You Filth" Kagami got up raising Kise's hand above his head pulling him slightly off the ground, "All of your kind are nothing but heartless creatures who should have perished long ago" He pulled him closer till their faces where inches apart licking his lips.

Kise quickly kicked Kagami in the stomach causing him to loosen his grip enough for him to brake free, moving back he withdrew his sword and faced Kagami, though Kagami was no longer in front of him, in fact he couldn't sense his presence what so ever till a warm breath brushed past his ear, turning quick he was grabbed by the neck and pulled off the ground, dropping his sword and gripping Kagami's wrist with both hands desperately gasping for air. "Ka…g..ami…ple…as…e" His vision getting blurry from the lack of oxygen he heard the door of the house open Medorima and Aomine talking as they left the house.

Aomine froze… what was he looking at…? Before him…. Kagami holding up Kise with one hand off the ground… No… not Kagami… his hair was to long… his nails to sharp… "KAGAMI" Aomine ran to grab Kagami, tackling him to the grown causing him the release Kise, Midorima ran to Kise's aid making sure he was alright. "KAGAMI SNAP OUT OF IT" Aomine's pined Kagami to the ground only to be met by fierce blood thirsty glowing red eyes, the same eyes he had seen before, "What are you doing" Kagami fought back slowly overpowering Aomine's hold on him, he wasn't going to let him win this fight… who ever this was, if it was Kagami or not he wasn't going to give up. "What's wrong with you?" Quickly looking his grip on Kagami he thought of only one thing that could possibly calm him down… or make things worse… he was not hopping for the latter of the two. Leaning down he pressed his lips hard on Kagami's, he fought back trying to push Aomine off, but slowly calmed down. Aomine watched as the glow in his eyes slowly dissipated, as he continued to keep their lips locked, returning to its natural color, his nails no longer sharp and digging into his hands. Kagami's eyes slowly shut and his grasp on Aomine let go. Getting off Kagami Aomine looked down at the redhead….what had he just seen…

"Midorima help me get him inside" He reached under Kagami's lifting it over his shoulder, Kagami's unconscious body slouching to one side.

"Aomine you can be serious… After what we just saw… there's no way I'm letting him stay here with you." Midorima helped Kise to his feet only to have the blond place a concerned hand on his shoulder.

"I don't think Kagami knew what he was doing Midorima… Please help Aomine get Kagami inside" Kise smiled lightly then turned to Kagami, a look of concern crossing his face.

Getting him inside they made their way to the basement of the house, placing him in a stone room with shackles on the walls, it was humid, the ground was wet and the stone cold. Placing him agents the wall they chained his hands and feet.

"What happened Kise" Aomine turned to Kise staring him down, sure that the blond had done or said something to trigger the attack.

"Nothing…" Kise looked to the side feeling guilty

"Kise…. What did you do" Midorima punched Kise over the head

"Owwww Hey that hurt" Kise rubbed his head giving his sempai a hurt look.

"KISE" Aomine yelled.

"Well…." Kise looked at Aomine sheepishly "I might have told him about…her" Within seconds Kise was pinned agents the wall a hand firmly gripping his neck.

"WHAT. WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO TELL HIM? GIVE ME A GOOD REASON BEFORE I RIP YOUR HEAD OFF" Aomine growled fiercely baring his fangs.

"He was….asking…..ques…tions….and….si..nce….I…knew… you…wo..uld….never….tell him….I did" Kise Gasped for air.

Letting him go Aomine turned his back to him "You had no right…." He knew Kise was right but that was HIS past no one else's.

"I know… and I'm sorry… I didn't think it would cause Kagami to snap…"

"Leave" Keeping his back to Midorima and Kise, "I'll take care of everything from here"

"Aomine you can't-" Midorima was cut off when he received a deadly glare from Aomine. Kise placed a reassuring hand on Midorima shoulder and made his way out, "Be careful… I don't want to come by and find you dead" Midorima turned to leave.

"Yee have little faith priest…" Aomine smirked, receiving the finger as Medorima walked out of the room and walked out of the house with Kise.

Aomine turned to Kagami, kneeling down he took Kagami's unconscious face into his hands lifting it to face his …what are you… Almost as though Kagami had heard him his eyes shot open.

"W….what happened….." Aomine let him go and took a few steps back.

"Ugh… my head…." Lifting his hand to massage his temples he felt a heavy weight on his wrist fallowed by the sound of a chain. Looking down at his hands his eyes widened in shock. Looking up at Aomine with anger and question in his eyes he was met with an equally questioning gaze. "What… What's the meaning of this Aomine…?" His look hardening

"I think the question that should be asked here Kagami is what are you?"
