Captured Hearts

Chapter Thirty-four: The Ancient

STORY NOTICE: I'm going to change Hibari's age in human years- instead of 'a few hundred,' it's one thousand years, so that Fon's flashback makes sense. Chapter 1 where this occurs has been updated. His actual age by comparison, however is still 'in the teen years.'

To clarify something else, the nine hundred year separation from the main storyline and most flashbacks spans three generations for humans (this story is futuristic- humans live much longer), one for vampires, three for werewolves, four for merpeople. In other words...

Humans or Morphs: grandchildren are present time characters in story. Ex: Luce- Yuni, Spade- Mukuro, Giotto- Tsuna, Cozart- Enma Vampires: Sons or original characters are present time characters in story. Ex: Alaude/Elena- Fon, Alaude's brother- Hibari. Hibari- Hibari. Fon- Fon. I-Pin- I-Pin.

"Luce, you're back," Spade greeted. "How did it go?"

"Not good," Luce sighed. "We got attacked before we could harvest both fangs."

"That's fine, that's fine, we just need the one," the hunter replied. "Speaking of, that darling little blonde vampire just fell straight into my clutches. Nufufu~ I've decided not to take his fangs, but I'm forcing him to sacrifice blood in return."

"You're talking about the relative of the Hibari Clan, right?"

Daemon Spade gave a cheerful nod. "The poor little thing approached me, his hands locked in his own cuffs, and he said flat out that he wanted to become my pet! Isn't that adorable?"

"It's fascinating," Luce replied. "I wonder what got to him..."

"Hey, Luce," said another man, walking forward. "I'm going to take Cozart and his family out to practice morphing into merpeople. We'll need them to do so when Asari starts to hunt for merpeople."

"All right, Giotto," Luce agreed.

Spade followed Giotto as the blonde began to leave. "How do you hunt mutants?" he asked. Giotto laughed, and placed a hand on the other's shoulder.

"Not 'mutants,' Spade. Morphs," he explained. "If you see a creature with three or more mismatched traits, you know that it's a morph. And if you see a creature transform into a different species, it's definitely one. They're kind of hard to catch. You either need to befriend it, or trap it. And it's very hard to trap one, because they rarely eat, and switch their mode of transportation frequently."

"Huh," Spade sighed. He steered away from the path towards the 'Shimon' morphs, and instead walked into the room where he held his vampire. He walked towards the bed where the creature was curled up, and shut the door behind him. Then, he sat down on the bed beside the vampire, and gently rubbed his shoulder. The pretty, blue eyes slowly opened, and Spade smiled. "They're completely fooled," he said. "We're safe."

"Don't act like it's all fine now," Alaude murmured, sitting up. "They still want my fangs, don't they? Don't lie to me."

Spade shook his head. "Nope. I have them knowing that you belong solely to me." The blonde vampire's eyes softened.

"And your children?"

"They're going to be fine," the hunter murmured, reaching up and stroking through the blonde hair. "I'll have you and them meet before the week is up, and by next month, they should have warmed up enough to feed you, my dear."

Alaude grinned as the other man began to take off his coat and shirt, and batted his eyelashes in a false attempt to look innocent when the other moved in close. "You really want to feel my fangs, eh, Spade?" he husked. The hunter nodded, and when Alaude's long, white fangs pierced the skin on Spade's chest, the moan that Spade emitted was greedy and lustful.

"Hahh... suck harder, vampire," he husked, "c'mon, drink until you're full." Alaude groaned as the hunter's sinfully sweet blood filled his mouth, clouding his senses with pure exaltation as he forced the blood out in swallows of liquid. The vampire's throat visibly pulsed as he gulped the liquid down with hungry delight, and Spade panted, growing lightheaded as the vampire pulled his fangs down, making a deadly cut as they sliced the flesh open. The wound, which looked much like that inflicted from a knife, dripped strings of dark red liquid over the vampire's lips, and as Spade sighed at the pain, Alaude whined with needy pleasure.

Soon, however, Spade began to tremble weakly, Alaude backed off, and his now bright-red lips quirked up into a grin. "I love you so much," he husked. "Your blood is the single most wonderful element in the universe. You just wait, Spade... soon you will see, I belong to you. You possess me. You captivate me. I'm both entranced and absorbed by your amazing beauty. If I wanted to be regarded as such, I would easily become the pet, while you remain the Master. You're delicious."

Spade chuckled, lying down on the bed, and hugging Alaude as he did so. "You're kind," he breathed. "Too kind, for your race. Fufufu~." Alaude gave the hunter his most genuine smile, and nuzzled into the smooth, pale chest, dragging his tongue over the wound he made. As it began to heal, the vampire let out a soft purr of a noise, and Spade stroked through the blonde hair, a grin on his face as the lack of blood got the best of him.

Crimson Forest- Japan- In the area- Meanwhile...

"Natsukyo," said the older vampire, sitting down beside his son. "I have recieved a message from your aunt, Elena."

The young vampire looked up as he was addressed by his father's favorite alias, and leapt to his feet when he heart the name 'Elena.' "Is Fon coming over to play?" he asked, smiling brightly.

"Eh... no, son, not quite," he sighed. "Um... your uncle has left Elena to mate with a vampire hunter, and Fon is never to have contact with our clan again. He is going to be raised inside Elena's clan." 'Natsukyo,' or rather, Kyoya, slowly sat back down.

"Left her for a hunter?" he repeated. His father nodded.

"We believe Alaude may have lived with humans from an earlier age, hereby making him vulnerable to the rare occurence of a vampire falling for a human."

"That's gross," Hibari said, wrinkling his nose. "Why?"

"We don't know for sure, son," the older said.

Just then, a woman stepped out from the bushes, holding in her hands a wooden ball filled with something that made Kyoya's mouth water. "Honey, I have a little something for you," she said, handing the wooden utensil to her son. Kyoya happily took the cup, and smiled brightly to smell the familiar scent.

"What kind is it?" he asked.

"Griffin blood," his mother answered, wrapping an arm around his father's shoulders. "It's packed with good minerals- drink it all."

Kyoya nodded, and looked at the two small holes in the top of the ball, then, knowing what it was made for, sank his fangs into the holes, and began to suck from the small slits in his fangs, blushing lightly as the pleasant feeling overtook his young fangs.

Hibari Natsu Kyoya II was a hundred years old then, the equivalent of a five year old in human years. A vampire became sexually active in a total five hundred years, and as such, it was only four hundred years later when Hibari first bit himself. And five hundred years after that, a vampire would only gain five human years. Five hundred years after the first time, Hibari bit himself because he was ordered by his true love. He was ordered by Mukuro Rokudo. And Mukuro Rokudo was the grandson of Daemon Spade, while Daemon Spade took Hibari's uncle as his mate.

And history is once more repeating itself.
