Own Characters: I Have only two own characters, Aidou's little sister Erica is one of my own, but she is just in the first one but Ryou is also one of my own characters and of course since he is the evil dude in this he will be in all of them. Some characters in this chapter will be made up but I think that they hardly count as own characters unless you give them detail which I wont really do for some of these.
Chapter Five: Meeting And Fighting Together
Ryou made sure Aidou was sitting beside him with a drink in hand before he sat down himself again. Aidou stared around, the people he knew did not seem very shocked about the treatment, so he assumed they already knew about him from before, or Ryou was interfering in some way with their minds. Either way Aidou was able to sit where he was and shut his eyes, relaxing.
That was when everything just went down hill. A soft music began to play and Ryou looked over at Aidou whom shrank down in his seat and continued to drink his drink. Ryou suddenly smirked and reached over, taking Aidou's hand and pulled him to his feet. He held his hand and pulled the boy in front of him, smirking as he rested his head on his fist, elbow on the side of the chair.
"Dance" Ryou commanded
"What?" Aidou blinked, stunned
"Dance for me" he said clearly
"...I cannot dance" Aidou felt the blush spreading across his pale small face
"Dance" he repeated
"...I can't" Aidou whispered he could hear the tears building in his voice
"Dance" he repeated once again, but this tone told Aidou that it was the last time he was going to ask
Hating himself and hating Ryou, Aidou slowly began to move his body in time to the music. He was not a bad dancer but he was not going to be entering any contests for it. Ryou smirked as he watched Aidou before reaching forward and taking his hand. He began to hold Aidou's hand and move him as he dance from the side to side, back and forth, smirking and keeping a tight but gentle hold on his hand.
Finally he pulled Aidou to a stop, the blond was breathing a little harder but otherwise he looked as calm and pleasent as if he had just been standing there for the whole time. Ryou smirked and pulled him so he stood right in front of him then spoke quietly but clearly.
"Go get yourself and me another drink... Try not to speak to anyone unless you have to" Ryou commanded
"...OK" Aidou responded, he looked up, Kain was waiting to walk with him, it looked like Ryou would keep his promise and Kain would be staying by his side through the whole night.
He walked over to the table that was laid out on a silk white clothe, it stretched from one end of the room to the other, pressed up against the wall with small plates of biscutes and jelly sweets, with wine and other alcohol drinks that were set out in glasses, each mixed in with each other. There were piece of chiken and small ham sandwhiches for anyone who was getting a little hungrier but what shocked Aidou the most was that there was also small glasses of blood with three or four ice cubes in, quite a few people had them while others mixed the blood into their other drinks and had them together.
He reached forward and picked up two glasses of light blue wine, it had two ice cubes in it each, he watched as Kain picked up two glasses of blood, he didn't like this but said nothing as they made their way back through the crowd. When suddenly, someone grabbed one of the drinks he was holding and gulped it down, he then grabbed Aidou's hand and pulled him onto the dance floor and started to dance with him. Aidou yelped in shock and dropped the other glass, but as it smashed on the floor no one paid any attention. He looked forward and saw a young vampire, no older than Kaname but a head taller than Aidou with light blue/silver hair that hung over his face in spikes like a hat shading from the sun, he wore the usual black suit and sensible shoes. He danced with Aidou, leading him away from Ryou and Kain.
"Who are you" Aidou snarled "Let go of me!"
"Shh, Ichijo is on his way" the boy whispered, Aidou looked up shocked "I'm his nephew"
"Ichijo has a nephew" Aidou blinked, shocked
"Yeah, my mums his sister" the boy said
"How old is your mum?" Aidou blinked
"That isn't important, look, point is, Ichijo and I know each other, so he contacted me and got me to come here with my great grandfather Ichio, so that I could talk to you" the boy said
"I don't even know your name, how do I know you are really his cousin?" Aidou scowled
"My name is Tatsua" he said as he moved further away, he could see Ryou beginning to stand "And you are going to have to trust me"
"...You have had contact with Ichijo?" Aidou asked
"Yeah... He wants me to tell you, to be ready to get out of here, he is not sure about how but he is going to get you all out of this place" Tatsua spoke quickly
"What do I do?" Aidou asked
"You just have to be ready, try and get through to your friends whenever you are alone" Tatsua was moving quicker than the music now "Talk to them, try and get into them, and thanks for the dance"
Aidou frowned when suddenly Tatsua stopped dancing and bowed at Aidou, he then turned around and quickly walked off through the crowd. Aidou looked around and saw Ryou pushing through the crowd for him. Aidou considered for a moment, making a break for the door but stopped when he saw the two large vampires guarding it and knew he would never get away.
So instead he looked around and made his way back to Kain and Ryou. Ryou smiled when he saw Aidou making his way down to him. He waited for the boy to catch up before making his own way back to their seats, this time, just sending Kain to get the drinks. When Kain came back, Ryou mixed the blood with the alcohol and sipped it slowly, relashing the sweet taste.
Aidou stared down at his drink, he did not touch the blood and just watched as his alcohol moved around and around in the glass. He sat in his seat and pushed his head down into his shoulders. Kain stood right beside him and said nothing but even his cousins comfort was not enough to make him smile or grin.
The night went on and some people came while some left. It was very lonely for Aidou because he was not trusted to leave Ryou's side. It was very irritating and he was constantly moaning or groaning quietly to himself. Sometimes when Ryou went to talk to someone and told Aidou to stay in his seat, Aidou would talk quietly to Kain like everything was normal but Kain never responded to him.
Then as Ryou came back he fell silent and would sit, staring out into space. The clock ticked and more and more people came and went. Ichio came and spoke to Ryou quietly, though he kept looking at Aidou whenever Ryou was not looking and glaring at the younger boy for no reason.
"Akatsuki?" Aidou whispered
Kain looked down at him with the usual smile. Ryou and Ichio were far too busy with their own conversation to listen in on Aidou's.
"Remember when we were kids?" Aidou asked
Kain still just stood smiling
"You said you would always be there for me right? Remember?" Aidou asked
When Kain just continued to smile Aidou felt his heart drop. How was he suppose to snap Kain out of this.
"Come on Akatsuki" Aidou begged
"Something wrong Hanabusa?" came Ryou's voice
"No" Aidou said looking around.
Ichio had gone off, he didn't know when, so he didn't know how long Ryou had been watching and listening to him trying to get to Kain. It would have been embaressing if Aidou cared what anyone here thought of him anymore. Ryou sat beside him and reached over, playing a strand of hair of Aidou's blonde head.
"Do you have to?" Aidou snarled
"Yes... I do" he smirked
"What is this party even for?!" Aidou demanded
A sly smirk slipped across his face and he leaned down, their noses an inch from touching "You will see Hanabusa"
A feeling of dread washed over Aidou and he stared up at Ryou, as the older vampire leaned back and smirked at the crowd of dancers and more. Aidou looked over at Kain but his zombie cousin was still smiling off into the crowd, it was so unlike Kain that Aidou felt tears fill his eyes. This wasn't right! Kain was not suppose to act like this! Why did it have to be his cousin, why did it have to be him?!
Sighing he reached over and took his cousins hand, like when he was very little, he looked forward and tried his best to blink away the tears that settled on the ends of his lashes and lids. He tried to see if he could spot Tatsua again but was unable to find him in the millions of heads that bobbed up and down in the thousands of people running around.
Kain suddenly turned around and bowed down to someone, when Aidou looked up his heart skipped a beat, it was the pureblood Sara. She smiled iceily down at Aidou and Kain before giving a nice and warm smile towards Ryou... She had not even spoken yet but it was clear by the look on her face and the way she was acting that she did not like how Ryou was treating lower class vampires at the moment.
Sara walked over and smiled kindly to Ryou, she asked him where he had been for so long. Ryou chuckled darkly and reached over, lifting up Aidou's hand and pressing his knuckles to his lips as he spoke, Aidou looked down annoyed and embaressed.
"This little boy had other ideas rather than to let me go on" he smirked as he suddenly lightly cut one of his knuckles, running his tongue over the single drop of blood. "Trapped me in a strange set of doors"
"Really?" Sara scowled at Aidou and he felt himself shrink down in his chair
Aidou couldn't help himself and snarled "Well you shouldn't have killed my sister and kidnapped me"
Ryou laughed while Sara looked ready to slap him. Kain remaind as blind to it all as ever while Aidou turned and glared down at the food table. The two of them began to talk to each other while Aidou just stared off at the food and ignored them as best as he could.
*VK*VK*VK*
As the walked down the road, Ichijo decided that they better contact Aidou, so that he doesn't do anything rash as they are just about to save him. He voiced this with Yuki and Zero and both (although Zero, reluctantly) agreed with him.
They moved along to the nearest home they could find and asked a few people for a phone, they asked at least six people before one person allowed them to borrow the phone, then they spent a few minutes in a room alone, arguing of who to call. They needed someone to be able to get near him, but how could they since they didnt know who was able to get in the home where Aidou was.
Finally Ichijo called his sister, hoping she would be able to help, he pressed the phone to his ear and listened closely. After a long talk with his sister, he found out truly that she followed higher blooded vampires and that she would never go against anyone just to save one of his friends. She apologised deeply and said she had to go, that their grandfather was coming round before he went to the big party.
"What party?" Ichijo blinked
"Ryou is having a great party, any vampires are invinted and Ichio is going to go" his sister said impatiently
"Can you do me a favour then?" Ichijo asked quickly
"Yes?" she sighed, very annoyed now
"Put Tatsua on" Ichijo begged
"Why?!" she snapped
"Because! Look just do it!" Ichijo snapped back
"Fine, but you have six minutes, tops" she warned
"That's OK" Ichijo nodded
She called her son and handed the phone to him. Tatsua was shocked since he and his uncle never actually spoke to one another, they had seen each other at family parties but otherwise, since they lived so far apart, they just kept their distances. When he said hello he listened as Ichijo ran though everything that had happened, and then begged for Tatsua to go with his great grandfather and warn Aidou to be careful.
"I know this is a big thing, but your mother won't listen, and we don't know who else to ask!" Ichijo said quickly
"Tatsua, hang up now" called his mother
"One second!" Tatsua called back and spoke into the phone quietly "Sure, I'll help, I mean, what else is family for, so I warn Aidou that you are coming and to sit tight... Is that it?"
"Yes... wait" Ichijo said as Yuki snatched the phone from him
"Hay, also, ask him if he can try and talk to some of the other night class, it may not work unless they have a certain liquid but maybe Aidou might be able to get to them and convince them to snap out of it or something..." she said
"Alright, mums getting really mad, I better go... Bye" Tatsua hung up and ran to catch his great grandfather to ask if he could go, he felt that it would be better to get Ichio to tell his mother he was going, that way she would not suspect that her brother told him to go and she would never say no to someone she both feared and respected.
Meanwhile Yuki, Ichijo and Zero all headed off again, the only person who had, had any decent sleep was Yuki and that was resting on Zero's back while he ran but Ichijo and Zero where hanging in, even though it was easily spotted that they were tired.
Yuki felt guitly and said that she would stay awake with them, but since she was not a vampire and therefore did not have a strong enough will as they did, she found herself falling to sleep on multiple ocasions. Each time she woke on Zero's back and complained to the both of them about not waking her up.
"You need your rest, so that when we both rest, you can wake us up if anything happens" Ichijo explained
Yuki huffed and sighed angrily but said no more about the subject. Zero would say nothing and kept his hard face as he ran, it was clear that he did not care for iddle chit chatting, Yuki was not sure why he was so concerned about the Night Class. She didn't realize that he was actually just concerned on finding this new threat of a vampire and eliminating it.
"Anyone hungry?" Ichijo suddenly asked, in his arms were a dozen apples and berries.
"Are they safe?" Zero asked
Yuki however, ignored him and reached down, over his shoulder, snatching one of the apples and taking a large bit out of it. She moaned with satisfaction of the taste and chewed it slowly. Ichijo grinned and ate a few berries of his own before he held it out to Zero so that he could take one, when Zero turned his nose up at it, and Yuki waved for him to give her some berries.
Ichijo handed her a few and Yuki suddenly digged her heel into Zero's side making him yell before she threw the berries into his mouth and covered his lips again. Zero gave a muffled yell and shrugged slightly, trying to drop Yuki but Ichijo helped hold her up on his back until he finally chewed and swallowed the food.
"There, wasn't so bad now was it!" Yuki grinned at him while he scowled up at her.
"Let's just go" He snarled and began to run
Soon after he got a little ahead, Ichijo appeared at his side and the two began to chase each other, running madly after one another.
Soon they found themselves outside a very large mansion.
Some vampires were walking in and out of the large doors, they could see from the bushes they were hiding in, there were trees surrounded around the three of them as the bent down and spied on the house. They were all nervous at being caught but so far no one looked their way.
"So what now?" Yuki asked them
"Well, since you have had plenty of sleep, you are to stay watch over us both while we sleep ourselves and build back up our strength, then as we check and make sure all the other ARE in there, we will send you to the nearest household to call the headmaster and wait for him to come and get you before you come back here again" Ichijo explained
"Is that safe?" Zero asked
"It should be fine" Ichijo nodded "If we go in and make a scene, then Ryou should call all the vampire back to deal with us, he will do anything to protect Aidou from leaving him again"
"If you are sure" Yuki said slowly and went further into the trees, she sat against a tree with a whistle around her neck that Ichijo had handed her from his pocket.
"If any vampire spots us and comes over, then blow on that as hard as you can, it should wake us imediantly" Ichijo said
"But won't it alert the other vampires as well" Zero noted
"Yes it will, but if she tries to shake us awake then there is a chance we won't wake straight away and this will give the vampires that have spotted us a chance to wound or possibly kill us and one of them could alert Ryou anyway if we are spotted and there are two or more. The whistle will alert the other vampires yes but it will wake us straight away and we will jump to action in shock of the sudden noise" Ichijo noted
"You thought of everything, didn't you" Yuki giggled
"I hope I did" he said suddenly with a worried look on his face "Otherwise we are in trouble"
"Come on boys" she said, waving her hands to them "Get to bed and sleep, we need your energy"
It didnt take very long for the exhausted boys to fall asleep. When they were both snoring lightly on the cool grass Yuki slowly pulled out her rode. It didn't hurt to be safe. She leaned back with the rode in hand just in case and waited. Whenever she heard the slightest movement she would stiffen up and get ready to attack at any moment. Instead it was normally just passers by that didnt notice them or it was a small animal passing by.
For a while, it was quite peaceful. As she waited in the dark she watched the sky, it was day time when they got there, it would be dark soon, this was good because that meant it was the perfect time they could attack, in the night when both Zero and Ichijo would be better rested and more powerful.
As her own body began to relax and drift off she would shake her head and arms to stay awake. Neither Zero, nor Ichijo had any bad dreams or disturbed sleep. They snored lightly and quietly, occasionally Ichijo would get a little louder and in a desperate attempt to quiet him, Yuki would cover his nose and shh him to be quiet.
For a while it seemed like everything was going to be alright, as the night began to fall, Yuki prepared herself to wake the two up gently when she heard a voice close by. It sounded like a man and possible a woman, but she could not be sure. Yuki stiffened as the voice got close and she pressed against the tree she was resting at, she held her breath and looked around, but the voices continued to get close when suddenly...
"Gotcha!" someone cried as they grabbed Yuki's arm
"Ahhh!" she screamed and put the whistle into her mouth, blowing hard and loud, letting off a defaning shriek from the whistle.
With a start, the two vampires woke, Zero straight away leaping at the vampire that held Yuki, while Ichijo took only a second to figure out what was going on, he himself jumped and kicked the second vampire away. It was a female and male, though both were extremely large and angry looking. The male grabbed Zero's shoulders and slammed him down onto the ground, kneeing him hard in the stomach before bringing down his own head and smashing it against Zero's. The ex human gasped in pain and struggled against the one on top of him but it was no use.
Ichijo had the female easily pinned to a tree, and just as he got ready to finish her off and rush to Zero's aid when something smacked against his head and made him stumble back. Ichijo could not even let out any sort of cry before he was smacked again and hit the cold hard ground. Zero was too dizzy to do anything when a large arm wrapped around his neck and pulled him to his feet, a hand snatched the bloody rose just as he reached for it and now the ex human was helpless.
Ichijo had someone sit on his chest and begin to beat on his face and body while Yuki screamed helplessly in the arms of another, she tried reached for the rode which had been knocked from her hands but it was too far away... They were trapped.
*VK*VK*VK*
They were all dragged into the large home without any chance to speak. Inside, all the vampires were lined up against the wall, glaring down at those that interupted their party. At the end of the lines were the one and only Ryou and Aidou, Aidou was holding Kain's hand who stood beside him, gawping at his friends with both worry and sorrow.
"Well, if it isn't the Night Class that I left to look after the dorm, you are in big trouble" Ryou noted to Ichijo and looked at Yuki and Zero "As for you Zero, I think it would be nice for some entertainment" he waved a hand and suddenly Kaname jumped down "Fight Kaname, if you lose, we kill the human, if you win, you two can leave"
"What about the other Night Class?" Zero rose an eyebrow
"They belong to me" Ryou smirked
"No they do not!" Yuki shouted, she was looking at Aidou as she said it, who had tears filling his blue eyes as he watched something he knew he could not stop.
"Yes they do, now then" Ryou waved his hand
Kaname stepped forward to fight Zero. Aidou's eyes widened in shock and he looked up at Ryou. He couldn't be serious, could he?
"You can't do this" Aidou whispered to Ryou, who looked down at him
"And why not?"
He had no answer. Instead he looked forward in time for Kaname to leap forward and jump at Zero. Before he could make contact Aidou leapt from his seat and tackled Kaname away himself, he didn't do it for Zero, he did it so Kaname would not get hurt. As they both hit the ground Aidou sat up just in time to have someone else pull him up, he struggled as arms wrapped around him but stopped when he realized it was Kain.
"Naughty child" Ryou sighed and nodded, suddenly someone grabbed Yuki and lifted her slightly from the ground, Zero stood alone in the room as Kaname approached him dangerously. As Zero rose his arms to defend himself Kaname pounced. Yuki looked behind and saw it was Ichio holding her, she looked around in horror to see that no one cared Ryou was going to kill a pureblood.
In seconds both were covered in blood. Zero had been unable to help himself but accidently cut deeply into Kaname's shoulder, while Kaname was purposley doing all he could to rip Zero to ribbons. He was finding it hard to keep defending and not hurt Kaname. Whenever he dived at him Zero would do his best to duck but normally had part of his head and face torn.
Ichijo struggled against the vampire holding him and looked desperatly around. He saw the other Night Class but they were all in a trance, standing at the exits and watching out for anyone who might try and escape. He could not see his nephew anywhere and Aidou was in a state of shock as Ryou walked over and said something in his ear, he could not hear but he could just make out the mouth forming the words 'Fun begins'.
Yuki was struggeling desperatly against Ichio, but he was far too strong for her. She gasped as he tightened his grip on her arms and tears fell down from her cheeks. Suddenly Tatsua was beside his great grandfather, he looked up at the older man and gave a fake smile.
"Sorry gramps" he brought a chair around and let it collide with the back of the elder mans head. The collision made Ichio let go of Yuki and fall back, mostly in suprise but there was a little pain there too. Tatsua looked down at Yuki and winked, she gawped and shook her head when she heard Zero cry in pain.
"Zero!" she shouted and looked around, Kaname had a hand through Zero's shoulder, he was bringing his hand to go through the silver hairs head when Yuki dashed over. Yuki threw herself in front of Kaname's hand and shut her eyes, crying out "Kaname! Stop!"
His eyes widened and he stared in shock at Yuki for a moment. Kaname's hand began to shake and he stared at her, Ryou roared at him to finish the both of them but as the sweet tears dripped down Yuki's soft cheeks, he came to his senses and leapt away from them both, withdrawing his hand from Zero's shoulder. Kaname stood there for a moment, staring at them both, wide eyed, panting hard... Then he breathed... "Yuki?"
"Kaname" she sobbed and threw herself in his arms. Ryou swearing blindly in the back ground. Aidou and Ichijo gawping at them. Zero stood, clutching his shoulder, breathing hard himself. "Zero!" Yuki remembered, she ran to him "I'm... fine..." he gasped
Kaname turned around and glared at Ryou who scowled back. For a moment it was just a staring contest, whoever could give the worst glare would win, when Ryou suddenly smirked, he began to chuckle, it got louder and louder until that chuckle transformed into a cruel sick laugh. Reaching over, he snatched Aidou from Kain's arms and held him against his chest, resting his chin on the blonde's right shoulder.
"You think this is it?" he asked the others "You think you have won?"
Placing a hand on Aidou's head he mumbled something. The blonde's eyes widened and he stared into space. Letting him go he stepped back, most of the others copied him. Senri, Rima, Ruka and Kain all, however stepped around Kaname, Yuki and Zero, stopping them from moving anywhere.
"How will it feel... to be killed... by your own friend"
Not even a second after Ryou said that, did Aidou leap forward and attack. No one understood what was done to him but they knew this wasn't Aidou's wish. None knew Ryou had put old memories back into Aidou's head, making them seem real. Aidou thought he was attacking some wild hunters that had come to kill his best friend, who had turned into a level E at one stage.
All of them jumped out the way, the Night Class that were still under his spell followed them. Aidou chased after Zero, he could smell the blood off of him and decided to go for the weakest. Zero ran and dodged his attacks but knew he could not keep it up for much longer. They had to think, first they had to snap Aidou and the rest out of their state. Thinking quickly Zero pulled out some of his blood tablets, he threw them to Yuki, and Kaname. Yuki lept into the air and caught them, then ran over to Senri and jammed a pill into his mouth, Kaname wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her out of harms way as Senri went to attack her. Luckily he also swallowed the pill.
As he slowly came back to his senses Yuki did the same to Rima and Ruka. Kaname pulling her away each time to be safe. Kain ran to stop them and this time it was Kaname's turn to force a pill down his throat. Ryou was laughing as he watched Zero run away from his property. He watched as Aidou brought down a stick of ice into the already bad wound of his shoulder not noticing the others.
Kaname hurried over to Senri, Rima and Ruka. Yuki pulled Kain along behind her.
"What is going on?" Rima asked
"No time to explain!" Kaname snapped "Let's just say we have to get Aidou away from Zero, pin him down while we do the rest"
They nodded and ran over to Hanabusa who was kicking and punching deeply into Zero's stomach, his eyes were still wide and empty as he saw the images only in his mind. Kain wrapped his arms around to stop him but Aidou just knocked him away and leapt at Rima. Senri jumped in the way and back handed Aidou to the floor, Ruka ran forward, ignoring Kain's shouts to wait and dived on top of Aidou, pinning him down.
Just as the other made their way to her they froze, there was a loud ripping sound and suddenly a large spike of ice was sticking out of Ruka's body, it was covered in blood and so was Aidou who had his ice hand sticking through her.
Ryou howled with laughter and was suddenly over the two, he leaned down and stated clearly to Hanabusa so everyone could hear.
"Do it... Finish her off... What is she to you" he reached down and covered the boys eyes "But a horrible spoilt girl... Who always annoyed you... Who always made you angry... Who is she to you... You always threaten to kill her... do it now"
With those final words. Before anybody could shout or run to stop him. Aidou brought his ice hand to the side... And ripped Ruka open... Killing her....
