Previous Chapter
"Her awaking is starting like your" remarked Christa
"What awaking?"
"Cordelia will start possessing her body and she'll die"replied Beatrice
"Die? Yui?" I cried
"I don't want to scare you but yes"
"That's an absurd"
"It's not, Kairi" said Christa "we are saying the truth"
"What should I do?" I asked loudly so Mukamis could hear too
"As I know Subaru gave her his knife" began Christa
"Yeah. I saw it too"
"You should meet her somehow. Tell her that killing herself to save them isn't available. With that she will only contribute Cordelia to possess her body sooner"
"I'll do that as soon as I can, but there's another question..." I frowned "about Kiroy Kishu. How and why did he become the vampire hunter?" I sighed
"We don't know the reason" I sighed
"I guess we can find the answer in his past.. but I don't think it has any contact with Sakamakis, right?"
"Who knows? Maybe Richter or Karl Heinz did something to his family" said Beatrice
"Family?" asked Christa doubtfully
"Now I remembered that his family wasn't visiting him and actually he was never talking about them... Boys, do you know about Kishu's family?" I turned to them "Hey! I asked something!"
"Why aren't you telling her?" dashed Azusa "tell her. She's worth to know"
"Azusa"
"Fine" Yuma turned to me and looked in my eyes "Kairi, Kishu's family was destroyed by the Sakamaki Clan"
"Wh-wha? Karl Heinz did?" I bared teeth. Kou shook the head
"It was Richter"
"That asshole" I shivered from anger
"Calm down, Kairi, anger can't help you with fighting him" Christa warned me
"How can I not be angry?" I attacked back "after what he has done to me, to my sister and to Kishu, you are telling me to not be angry? That's the same to tell the fire to not burn!" I jumped up and started yelling. Beatrice took stoic face
"I understand why are you so upset but that's not a point. Don't forget. the awaking of you and your sister will start soon. It's impossible for her to awake with vampire's powers! The only one is you who can change that"
"Change..." I repeated "do you think it sounds easy? I just heard that I'm dhampir, my body's sealed and I've not only human half-sister but vampire half-brothers too! It's not easy to realize that! Besides I've to explain thing to them.." I bit my bottom lip "I need to think about everything.. It's too much information for one day..." I inhaled slowly ad walked over the door but Ruki stopped me
"Hold on. Kairi, I need to tell you something very serious "I looked at him
"What is it?" I asked tiredly
"You see, that D.N.A. of yours is very similar...with...ours.."
"So?" I tried to sound surprised
"Didn't you realize? Our D.N.A. can't be similar" began Yuma "you are the human and we are the vamp..." I cut him off
"You are wrong..." I remarked simply "I'm not just the human but the half human"
"Wha-what?" murmured Kou
"What do you think why am I the only shadow-kissed in the vampire world? The point is that your father was my father too but we'd different mothers.." and I explained what Beatrice and Christa told me. For some reasons. they refused my decision and didn't allow me to go back in Sakamaki Household...
"Damnit!" I yelled and punched the wall. I didn't know what to do in this kind of situation. It was two weeks that I learned about my identity. I had to return to the Sakamakis but I couldn't because of my brothers
"Don't you think you are going crazy" asked internal voice
"Shut the hell up!" I cried at it too "what the hell do you know that gives you permission to tell me something? Actually, who the hell are you?" I kicked the wall again and slid on the floor
"I am you"
"What are you talking about? Really?" I asked sarcastically and yelled again "don't give me a bullcrap!"
"Watch your mouth, Kairi!" the voice commanded
"You know what? I'm very tired from this mess. You tell me 'I am you' like I've any idea who the hell I am. That doesn't make any sense!" I tried to talk calmly
"The mess you said. I can't see some kind of mess in this story"
"Oh, really?" I grimaced
"Hikari Mukami, Sebastian Mukami's only daughter, that's who you are"
"That's who you think I am" I corrected "I don't have any wish to have this name"
"Do you prefer Komori or Cross?"
"Kairi Cross sounds better" I was annoyed already "and you?" the voice sighed "don't you think just because I'n the shadow-kissed, I've to know it by myself"
"I thought so" I took poker face "Actually, I... lied" confessed the voice
"Great! Another secret. Don't worry about me, I used to be in this kind of situation" I said ironically
"I'm the real Hikari Mukami, sealed in Kairi Cross's body" (1)
"What?"
"You can to not believe in me"
"I already not believe in you"
"But why won't you realize that I was with you from the birth? Did you forget my advises?" I felt terrible headache like some forgotten memories were returning
"I...know...you..." I opened eyes and stared into golden eyed girl who looked like exactly me with pink curly hair. She suddenly grinned and held the hand out
"Should I call you Hikari?" she shook the head
"I prefer Kyra"
"Are you going to disappear as everyone?"
"I was, am and will be by your side forever" she winked
"You lie again. When your awaking will start Kairi will disappear for sure" I rolled eyes
"Why are you so sure?"
"Hikari Mukami will possess my body soon. I don't need anything to be so sure about it. It's the same as Yui. We both will disappear.." I murmured
"If I wanted you to die, you'd be died now. You are my most important part, I can't just make you disappear"
"It'll happen" I repeated stubbornly "it's impossible two souls to share one body"
"It's not...we used to be do that about 16 years. Why don't you believe that we can do this again?"
"I lost faith in everything already, besides you've to have your own life" I whispered
"Why? Because your father isn't your father? Because you family isn't your real family? Or because you aren't who you thought you were? That's the reason?"
"Not only those. Being shadow-kissed, talking with dead persons, not seeing my sister and..." I stopped
"And the main, cutting your contact with Shuu you are attached so much"
"I'm not attached to no one!" I declined
"Then answer me why do you think so much about him?" that froze me
"Why?" I repeated "because he...umm...you know...he won't ask... Yui...to...you know what I meant" I mumbled
"I've no idea what are you talking about. I didn't get something"
"I mean..you were with me when I was living with Sakamakis, right? You should know that he didn't ask Yui to drink from her when I was angry" she smiled
"And you think I'll believe this kind of nonsense? Blood! Don't underestimate him, Kairi.. I won't be surprised if there is another bride already" I shivered
"It's only 3 weeks..why would they want another prey?"
"You are right..Your dhampir blood can't be replaced"
"See?" I asked in winning time "i was right"
"You weren't. You just love him but don't want to admit it" my jaw dropped
"I hate vampires. Why would I be in love with one from them?"
"Oh, yeah and you hate yourself too?! You belong to the vampire world! Realize it already, Kairi!" Kyra stood up "why won't we visit them?" she asked in low tone
"Visit? After what Kishu did for them?" i snarled "he almost killed them and me too... I'm afraid Ayato punished Yui because of me" I jumped up
"Ayato didn't let Seiji to take her away. Do you think he'll do something that might hurt her?"
"Yes, I still think so! He's sadistic brat!" Kyra bared teeth
"Every person changes when they fall in love"
"How do you know that, Kyra? You were with me always.. It's not like you fell in love with someone, is it?" I asked doubtfully
"You've changed.." she shrugged. My eyes went widen
"I? H-how?"
"You were the coldest person in this world. The girl who didn't care about something or someone. The girl who was locked in herself. The girl who possessed inhuman power. Now, look at yourself. You give your to him without hesitate. You learned smile. You protect your sister, even if it costs your life. Do you think that's nothing?"
"It sure is something..but I'm not in love.. It's just moth.."
"Motherly care?" She interrupted "you, a caretaker?" she laughed "another nonsense!" she shook the head. I tried to change the subject
"How are we suppose to leave this house?"
"We born here. I think we'll think something. So do you want visit your beloved vampire or not?"
"I...want,," I whispered "it's just I'm... afraid. Will he be happy when he sees me?"
"If you want to have answers, just come and get them" said Kyra and winked
I stood up and carefully opened the door. I examined the corridor and took one step ahead. Kyra gave me a nod and went ahead me. I followed her. I already knew the brick-work of the house so we managed to leave it without bumping into our brothers. When we went outside of the gates, I looked back and thought
'Forgive me, onii-sans'
"Let's go, Kairi" Kyra called out when noticed that I stopped. I sobered and ran to her
"Sorry..."
"Hurry up before they'll find us"
"Okay, but how are we gonna find the house?"
"Don't ask me.. Call out those women and ask them" she cut it
"It's not like I'm the medium or celestial wizard" I protested "I can't summon spirits" Kyra took disappointed face
"I thought Vampire Slayers were cool"
"Hey! Don't lame me!" I yelled. People around me gave me mysterious look like I was the insane
"Don't yell, you know, I can hear your thoughts too so shut up and just think" my mouth dropped automatically
"You can what?" I was simply shocked "why didn't you tell me about it earlier" I gave her deadly glare
"You didn't ask me" I was gloomy
"God!" I thought despairingly "help me"
"God's already helping you because I'm here" grinned Kyra
"Don't grin at me!"
"Then shut up and think about the way to find that house"
"I'm trying my best" I glared her again
"I can't see that" teased Kyra
"Then sorry for disapp..." I didn't manage to finish the sentence because O felt terrible pain in the heart. I automatically fell on the knees and held the heart. Kyra stopped
"Hikari? What's going on? You okay?"
"We've to hurry" I ignored the pain and used max speed my ability could give me. With that I was unnoticeable for humans
'Think, Kairi, hoe can you return there'
"Is it okay to ask someone?" asked Kyra
"Let's try" I stopped, rushed to the first passer-by I saw and asked "excuse me for disturbing but I'm new in this town and I'm lost" the woman about 30 smiled gently at me
"It's alright. Do you want to ask something"
"Yes, may I know how can I get in the Sakamaki Household?" the woman's face immediately changed into fear, but she manged to hide it and answered
"Thanks, ma'am, you saved me"
"Take care of yourself" she whispered when I left her. I smiled
"I just want tp see them. I'll be fine"
I'd long way to go but the urge t see him was huge too. The streets and blind alleys couldn't stop me. After some hours I managed to arrive at he well-known house. I leaned the gate and wiped tears
'I'm home'
(1) Hikari means the Light in Japanese XD
