Hey everyone I'm back from my cold, still a little sick but MUCH better, anyways i hope you like this chapter. I will be posting the next one tomorrow night ;P
Everyone was seated waiting for Akashi, Murasakibara lounging at the end of the long table stuffing his face trying to block out the sound of everyone talking around him, specifically that of the man next to him bragging about how he just added two more girls to his harem. All heads of the clan where brought together by Akashi to discuss finally taking down the leader of the only thing in their way of taking over the country. "Murasakibara it's been a wile" Turning to look over his shoulder he found his old friend standing beside him, "Still eating anything and everything you can get your hands on I see"
"Himuro what are you doing here" Murasakibara pushed the chair next to him aside allowing Himuro to take a seat next to him. "I'm here for the meeting; why else would I be here"
"You aren't a General" tilting his head inquisitively receiving a smirked "I was just promoted, got the position last month" Murasakibara quirked an eye brow remembering that the head of the southern division had passed away last month, his attention was drawn to the front of the room.
Akashi always knew how to make an entrance, French doors opened by two young and entranced girls all dressed in white bowed their heads as a well-dressed Akashi entered the room. "Welcome everyone and thank you for coming on such short notice… but with an opportunity like this why would anyone want to pass up the chance to finally get those pesky "good" vampires out of our hair" Everyone roared out in excitement. Taking his seat at the head of the table Akashi looked over everyone who was present, sitting next to him was the his general from the north Hanamiya, next to him Fukui, Liu and Okamaru. On the other side was Tsugawa, Kasuga and Omuro, and at the end of the table sat Murasakibara and Himuro. "As I was saying we are going to be taking over this town, in two days they are going to be holding a ball, from what I have been told, my dear test subject Aomine will be attending with a plus one." Akashi glanced over to Himuro, "This plus one is mine. I am extremely interested in this man, you may have anyone else you desire but leave the redhead to me."
"It's been a long time since we have heard you talk to possessively about your pray, what has he done to deserve the attention of the great Akashi" Hanamiya asked intrigued.
Akashi glanced over to his general smirking "He shot me" Everyone at the table sat in silence, no one could believe that someone was able to land a hit on him, many have tried and failed.
"And what might his name be" Asked Omuro, lounging back in his chair interested in this man who claimed their leaders attention.
"Kagami" Himuro's eyes widened in shock, there was no way he just said Kagami…. It couldn't be…. "Did you say Kagami…" Akashi glanced over at Himuro who stood up abruptly. "Kagami Taiga…" Akashi walked over to the younger vampire. "Yes…what of it Tatsuya?" Himuro looked to the side "Answer me" Akashi drew back his attention.
"Kagami Taiga…. Is… My brother" Akashi smiled devilishly as he placed a hand on the others shoulder, "Well well Tatsuya please tell me about your so called brother…" Akashi brought Himuro to the front of the room and had him sit in his chair.
"Well we aren't blood related… when we were young Kagami was separated from his family because of the war and came to live with my family, we got along great and were inseparable, both aiming for the same thing… to join the army. We trained together, fought each other one on one, I could tell there was something different about him… he was faster, stronger and better at everything we would do, so when it came time to join the army, he got picked and I didn't… the last day I saw him I had given him an ultimatum, stay with me or leave and I would never speak to him again. But before he could answer me the army was shipped off that night to fight in the war. I haven't seen him since" Himuro looked over to Akashi who in turn asked everyone to leave the room, Murasakibara reluctantly complied and once everyone had left the room he turned to Himuro.
"I have a job for you, Tatsuya, I want you to get close to this Kagami, find out what he's hiding, and what his weaknesses are, you have two days to report everything back to me."
"Akashi I don't think he will accept me, if he…" Himuro was cut off when Akashi grabbed him by the neck pulling him close.
"I have an ultimatum for you Tatsuya do as I say or die here"
What's wrong with me… Kagami sat with his bare back agents the cold stone wall, staring up at the ceiling, sighing as he went over the incident in his head, trying to figure out what drove him so wild every time Aomine was so close. Night had quickly turned to day during the time the two of them had spent together and he couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like to have gone all the way. He could still feel the touch of Aomine's hand on his scar, the heat from his kiss and the sensation of those fangs nipping at his flesh. This would never work… there's no way… he's a vampire and I'm a hunter….but…. he looked down at the shackles around his ankles…. He's different…
Aomine sat outside the cellar door, debating walking back in and taking Kagami right then and there or letting him go, he couldn't get the image of his perfect body out of his head and it was driving him mad, how could someone make him loose his senses like that, was it that fire in his eyes, those inviting lips or the amazing taste of his blood. Whatever it was he knew he wouldn't be able to control himself next time…..Next time? Since when did he start thinking about doing that again… getting up and walking to the door fingers inches away from the door knob, hesitant, what should I do… clenching his hand into a fist he turned and made for the exit stopping when he heard Kagami speak lightly from the other side of the door.
"Kuroko I don't know what to do…. I promised you I would get rid of every vampire I came across and I've kept that promise up till now… but… I… I don't know if I can anymore…" Aomine's eyes widened, was he talking about him… "I don't know what's going on…. There are so many things in don't understand… most of all what's going on with me… what am I…" Aomine turned back to the door clenching the door knob.
Kagami looked up as the door slowly opened, he got up and locked gaze with Aomine as he entered the room. "What are you doing here" Aomine ignored his question as he walked forward. Kagami took a step back never looking away, "What do you want" Aomine kneeled down and unlocked the shackles.
"It's cold down here, go upstairs and get some rest." Aomine turned and left the room, leaving a shocked Kagami wondering what had just happened, was he being… nice. Leaving the room Kagami made his way to the bedroom, stopping when the doorbell rang, sighing in disbelief, unable to understand why Aomine's was so popular he opened the door only to find someone he knew all to well, someone he hadn't seen in years "T…Tatsuya…" Kagami stood frozen, unable to understand why he would show up here, "What…"
"It's been a long time Kagami" Tatsuya smiled lightly at his brother, "Can I come in" he asked as he looked over Kagami's shoulder.
"What are you doing here Tatsuya?" Kagami stood his ground.
"Kagami what are you doing standing in the door way" Aomine walked over, taking a look to see who was keeping Kagami's attention only to draw his sword and push Kagami back, "What are you doing here" He pointed the edge of the blade at Tatsuya who in turn drew his and took a step back.
"What's going on" Kagami asked pushing his way in front of Aomine
"That's what I would like to know" Aomine glared down the other vampire, "What are you doing here Tatsuya" Kagami's eyes widened
"You know him?"
"Of course I do he works for Akashi" Kagami looked over at Tatsuya in disbelief
"Used to… no longer" Tatsuya sheathed his blade,
Aomine stood his ground keeping his blade pointed at the other. "Bullshit, no one leave Akashi's ranks and lives to tell about it"
Kagami couldn't understand what was going on, there was no way… his…. His brother is a vampire… "Tell me this is a joke… your not a…"
"Yes Kagami. After you left for the army I was taken hostage and turned into a vampire by one of Akashi's Generals." Tatsuya turned to Aomine and walked forward "If you wish to kill me do it now" He walked up to the edge of the blade stopping within inches of his neck.
Aomine watched as Kagami placed a hand on his blade lowering it "Aomine put the sword away"
"Listen Kagami this man isn't going to stay here he leaves now"
"Fine then I'm going with him, I need to talk to him" Aomine stood dumbstruck, why would Kagami want to go anywhere with a member or former member of Akashi's gang, what was so special about this guy, he's a vampire, he would want to kill him right then and there…. It pissed him off that someone else could get the attention of Kagami so easily. "Tatsuya come with me" Kagami turned his back to Aomine and made his way in the direction of the forest. Aomine stood watching as the two of them drew farther and farther away, how could he trust this guy so easily… something was off about this whole thing and Aomine was going to get to the bottom of this no matter what the cost.
