Chapter 8: Chiropterans?!

Saya awakened to more rain pouring against the house. It seemed like it would never stop. She sat up and glanced out the window. It had been a solid twenty four hours since she had left Solomon. She turned and found Hagi with his eyes closed leaning against the wall. He was gorgeous. His loose hair was covering part of his face somewhat. She rose from the bed and seated herself beside him.

"Good morning Saya." Saya jumped as his eyes opened and he greeted her.

"Morning. Um... You could have slept beside me. You don't have to sleep on the floor." Hagi smirked at her for a minute.

"I was just shutting my eyes for a minute." Saya opened her mouth to argue, but her stomach took hold of the moment to growl loudly thus ending the conversation. Hagi stood up and helped her to her feet. "Let's get some breakfast for you."

"Yeah. I bet you're starving." Hagi didn't answer and Saya sat down into one of the chairs at the small table. Hagi made her a quick breakfast and she started to eat when she noticed that he wasn't eating...again.

"Hagi. Aren't you hungry?" Hagi turned his gaze away from the window and looked at her.

"No. I ate before you awakened." Saya grabbed some eggs with her fork and thrust it into his mouth.

"Somehow I highly doubt that you keep eating alone while I eat all this in front of you." He swallowed the eggs and Saya went to grab another plate for him.

"Saya I'm not hungry." She set the plate of food in front of him.

"You're anorexic aren't you." He sighed and started to eat. She watched the rain pound against the windows as they ate. It was going to be a drizzly day again. The rest of the world seemed so distant at the cabin. It was a whole different lifestyle than the one she had had with Solomon.

"Saya." She looked over at Hagi. "What would you like to do today?" Saya thought about it for a minute.

"Um... Maybe play cello again for a while." He smiled at her before getting up and heading towards the bedroom. Just as he reached the doorway to the bedroom, someone knocked loudly against the door.

Hagi turned and hesitated for a minute before going over to the main door and opening it. Outside was three people, one was a little purple haired girl about ten years old maybe. She was ecstatic as she rushed into the room and hugged Hagi. The other two were both adults. One was a large black man who hurried after the girl to get out of the rain. The other was a blond man who seemed very... museful. He walked in and closed the door. He wasn't worried about his coat or the rain like the other two were. He seemed to be trying to figure something out in his head.

The young girl noticed her and grew even more excited as she rushed over and hugged her. Saya looked over at Hagi. She was confused deeply by the girl's actions.

"OH SAYA! Everyone was worried when you disappeared and then we heard from Hagi that you were here and we came as fast as we could-"

"Lulu. She doesn't remember anything from before she awoke with Solomon." The girl, Lulu frowned at Hagi as he explained. She seemed hurt by the fact that Saya couldn't remember a thing. The men sat down on the couch and Saya sat beside Hagi. He was the only one she really knew and she really wasn't sure about the other three.

"Saya." Saya looked up at Hagi. "Relax. Why don't you get the cello ready while I speak with these three about something for a few minutes." She nodded and quickly left the room. She closed the door before any of the others could follow and went to read more of Hagi's journal. She had just gotten it out when the door started to open. She tossed the book into her open suitcase just in the nick of time. Lulu walked in and shut the door.

"So you can't remember me at all?" She sounded so hurt by it.

"Sorry. Did I know you for a really long time?"

"Not really, but it's hard to believe you can't remember Hagi. You two have known each other for a long time." Saya decided to try and get some answers from the girl.

"So what exactly is my relationship with him?"

"He's your chevalier."

"My what?"

"Chevalier. He did admit that he loved you though. You didn't tell him that you loved him back or anything according to Kai, but-"

"Kai?"

"He's your brother." Saya made a mental note of that. The door opened before the questions could continue and Hagi walked in.

"Lulu David and Lewis are going to need you with them. They are going to head into Toronto." Lulu nodded.

"Alright. G'bye Saya, Hagi." She ran to the door where the other two were already getting their coats on and opening the door to leave. The door closed moments later and Saya found herself alone with her "chevalier" once again.

"Lulu tell you anything?"

"Yes actually. She told me that I have a brother named Kai." Hagi nodded.

"He's been worried for a while." He turned and started to get the cello.

"She also told me...she told me that you said..." Saya couldn't find the strength to say it. He was right there after all. Hagi turned and looked at her.

"She said that I said..."

"Never mind." Saya pulled out the cello and the bow and seated herself on the bed. She stared to play when Hagi paused her playing with his hand.

"Saya." He was really wondering about what she had said.

"You said that you..." Hagi pulled the cello out of her arms and sat beside her. His eyes filled with curiosity. "That you...loved me." She looked away as her face turned scarlet. Hagi didn't move for a minute. Then he pulled her into his arms.

"Saya..." A pounding at the door interrupted what he was going to say. He stood up and the pounding increased. He walked over to the door and pulled it open to the last person he expected.

Solomon stood outside the doorway. He was soaking wet, his hair dripping as he stared angrily at Hagi.

"How dare you..." He tried to punch Hagi. Hagi dodged and pushed Solomon off the porch in front of the house into the rain. He followed after to continue the fight outside as Saya threw the bow aside and followed after.

The thunder outside lit the sky overhead as the two fought. She rushed to get her shoes on and follow after the two. They were moving away from her quickly. Each of them fighting the other the whole way. Solomon pulled out a large knife and Hagi was fighting with...

She didn't know what it was. It seemed like the arm of a movie monster, except it was attached to his arm. And then... Solomon thrust the knife at him. Sending his hand flying off his arm. Saya froze as Hagi went after his hand. Solomon following after. Hagi turned on him after getting his arm ready to continue when a scream was heard. Both of the fighters looked over as Saya realized that it was her that had screamed. She was shaking hard. Solomon pushed Hagi over and rushed to her side.

"I need to get you out of here fast!" She nodded and grabbed her suitcase before returning to Solomon and they both ran away from the nightmare. She glanced back and saw Hagi watching her run. He was drenched by the rain and covered in blood.

Solomon's car was nearby as they jumped in and he drove away quickly before Hagi could catch up. Saya leaned back in her seat as the car flew down the road. The car was shaking hard as they drove...

"Saya. It's okay, you can relax. I've got you now. I won't let him get you." Saya realized she was still shaking from the sight of Hagi's real arm.

"What was he?!" Her voice cracked as she spoke loudly.

"He's a chiropteran. They live on blood. I'm sorry I didn't find you sooner Saya. I looked everywhere for you." He pulled her against him as he drove into the city and parked in the garage of the condos. They walked back into the apartment and Saya took her things back to her room. Solomon spent the remainder of the day boarding up her window and she lay on her bed.

It was around ten when she managed to persuade Solomon to leave her alone for the night. She didn't know why, but she felt uncomfortable with Solomon around her. He had held her close the whole way home and when they had parked she felt she should be disgusted with herself.

She opened her suitcase to unpack when she saw Hagi's journal. It was still in her bag. She lay on her bed and flipped it open to a random page. She needed to get this whole thing figured out and this seemed like the only thing that didn't seem to be hiding things from her

I didn't know what to do, you had to understand that I was tired of waiting to see you. Each sleep you had pulled me closer and closer to the brink of insanity. I should have said no. I should have told red shield that you should never be awakened before you were ready to be awakened, but I missed you so terribly.

When they took my blood and awakened you, I was pushed out of the room. I didn't know what was going to happened otherwise I would have stayed close. You grew into a rage and ran out of the tent. You attacked everything and everyone that came into contact with you. I ran after you only to find you starting to kill one of Diva's chevalier. It ran off as you headed towards a village. I ran to stop you only to have you cut my arm off. I asked you why. You did not reply.

I made what was probably the worst mistake of my life after that. I ran away from you. I ran to China of all places. I told the members of Red Shield that found me that I was not going to return. I threw this book aside and watched as it gathered dust. I tried to forget you my dear Saya. I should have known better. With each night that came I felt depression surround me. I felt guilt threaten to consume me as I saw reminders of you everywhere. I had been horrified that you were a chiropteran. I let my uncertainty get the better of me. And for that I am truly regretful.

Saya reread the page over until she almost had the thing memorized. She was a chiropteran, but that didn't make sense. She didn't drink blood. Solomon knocked on her door and she threw the book into her nightstand. Solomon was carrying her favorite drink. It was some tomato juice...

"I thought you might be thirsty." He looked around as she drank it down quickly.

"Thank you Solomon." He pulled her into an embrace and Saya tried to keep a straight face as her insides screamed for Hagi. "Solomon!"

"Forgive me Saya." He loosened his grasp and Saya moved away from him a little. "I know you must have been scared."

"Solomon! I would like some time to myself at least for a while." He nodded and left the room.

Solomon took her cup of blood to the sink and washed the remaining blood off as Saya stayed in her room. He didn't want to admit to her that she was a chiropteran.

'She doesn't need to know about all the pain of her fighting with Diva.'

He turned off the kitchen light and lay on the couch in the den. He needed to move Saya away before that chevalier of hers got a new plan. Or the Red Shield came along and tried to recover her memory. He turned on the TV to find a cello concert playing. As he turned the station over he heard Saya crying in room. It was turning out to be one lousy night.
