Okay, this chap is like a flashback so you guys would know what happened years ago. I own the OCs BTW… And I'm also going to use their first names for this chap so there'll be no confusing problems…

So… here you go!


Shuuya Gouenji… Belongs to the Gouenji Clan, one of the most prestigious pure blood vampire clan in The Society. Shuuya Gouenji is the only son of two well-known and powerful vampires who belong in the same family bloodline. In short, Shuuya Gouenji's parents are related; they're cousins. The Gouenji Clan has a name to protect and an enormous pride. They would do anything to keep the family name, even if it means having to marry the same family member or relative. Also, the clan would allow the marriage between the same sex, as long as the vampires would approve and if it is with the same family name. Because of this, Shuuya Gouenji's future is already decided.

(Gouenji's Father), Gouenji's father, has a brother, Ryuu Gouenji. (Gouenji's Father) may be married to a vampire, another Gouenji, but his brother isn't. Ryuu may be married but neither with a vampire, nor a member of the Gouenji Clan… instead, with a mortal; a human. He hid it from The Clan, and the only ones aware of this are his brother and his family.

"Ryuu, how long are you going to hide this from everyone?"

"Until Ichirouta is old enough…"

"You perfectly know that your son is half mortal. He could walk under daylight and that is not normal for us vampires"

"I want to protect him. Ichirouta is still my son, and he is still a Gouenji. Our blood runs in his veins. And if I have to keep the fact that my son's mother is a human, I'll do it"

"I understand. But the Clan must know. Everyone knows that you have not yet married. Seeing you with a child would be questionable, you know that"

"What if The Clan would not accept him?"

"Like you said, 'Ichirouta is still a Gouenji'. They will accept…"

The two brother Gouenjis called out a meeting for all the members of the Gouenji Clan days after that talk. Every member is there, even Shuuya.

"Everyone," Ryuu called out "I have an announcement for you all" the whole room fell into silence. Ryuu took a deep breath and said his words, "I am now a father"

Murmurs filled the room. One member of The Clan stood up, his mother "What do you mean? You have not yet married your cousin yet"

"Yes, I have not, Mother. And I will never. My future is tied with another being"

"Who is she? Tell me now!"

"I am married to a human" he said with a straight face.

"WHAT?!"

"Have you not been paying attention to me and your father when you were younger? No vampire is to make connections with a mortal. Do you know what would happen to you and your child when the High-Ranked knows about this?!"

"They don't have to know" Ryuu's words silenced every vampire "The High-Ranked ones don't need to know about my son being half human. Ichirouta, my son, is still a Gouenji. Our blood runs in his veins. He may be half human but he is still a vampire… He is no different from us"

"Yes, he is different from us" another vampire said "Your son is half human. He is still wearing a human flesh. If he is human, he may be a target by all vampires who are thirsty for blood"

"He could still act like us. He has powers like us. He could be a vampire as well"

"But-"

"Enough," Ryuu's father said as he stood up "If your son is a Gouenji then I shall accept him"

"Thank you, Father"

"But under one condition"

"What is it Father?"

"Shuuya and your son must be married when time comes. Our Clan legalizes Same Sex Marriage and if you want your son to become a vampire like us all, he has to marry another Gouenji, be bitten by another Gouenji and become a Gouenji until his heart stops beating"

Ryuu glanced at his brother and Shuuya. Will he accept his father's condition?

"I would agree to have my son marry his cousin" (Gouenji's Father) said as he stood up from his seat. Ryuu was surprised by this; he doesn't know what to say… "Ryuu, do you agree as well?"

"I… I agree, Father"

"Then that's all settled then. Would you let us meet you son?"

"Of course, Father…" Moments later, a little boy is hugged Ryuu. He picked the boy up and showed him to everyone "This is my son, Ichirouta Gouenji. Say 'Hello' Ichi~~"

"Hello…" Ichirouta greeted with his slightly high-pitched voice.


Years have passed after that Clan Meeting… Shuuya is reading in his room. He didn't enter any school. Instead, he thought himself everything he knows.

"Shuuya," a voice called outside the boy's room.

"Come in," said Shuuya and a man came in, Ryuu.

"Good evening, Shuuya" his uncle greeted.

"Good evening, Uncle. What brings you here?"

No answer was made when suddenly a blue-haired boy came rushing into the room and tackled the young Gouenji onto the floor. "Hello, Shuuya~~"

Shuuya smiled, "Hello, Ichirouta" he said as he petted the young boy's head.

"I have to go out for a few days. The High-Ranked just gave me a job to bring someone back here. Ichi doesn't want to be left alone in the manor and he wants to be with you so… I was wondering if you could watch over him while I'm gone"

"Shuuuyaaa~~~"

"Okay, Uncle"

"Thank you, Shuuya" with that, Ryuu left Shuuya's room.

Ichirouta jumped off Shuuya and onto the soft bed. He hugged the oh-so-soft pillows and slowly drifted to sleep. Ichirouta Gouenji is half human so he mostly spends his time during day, like any other human. And like any other human, he could walk under daylight. He is a 'special vampire', as his father would say. He's the first ever vampire to be able to walk under the sun without having to become weak.

Shuuya stared at the young vampire's sleeping face; he looks so peaceful when he's sleeping. A huge gust of wind came into the room as a hum escaped Ichirouta's lips. Shuuya took this as a sign to turn off the lights. He stood up and headed to the light switch near the door. But when he killed the lights and sat back down on his chair, a loud cry echoed through the room.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" the person cried even more. Shuuya became nervous all of a sudden. Are they attacked? "SHUUUUUUYA~~ Where are you?" it was Ichirouta's voice.

As crying and sobbing echoes throughout the whole room, wind continued blowing but not in a relaxing way. Papers started to fly everywhere, making it very dangerous because of the paper cuts.

"What's happening?!" Shuuya questioned as he stood up and walked towards his bed but the winds were circulating around the room, not letting him see where he's going.

"Shuuya!" Ichirouta shouted again, as the winds came a little bit stronger by the minute.

"I'm coming, Ichi"

"It's… so dark… Shuuya~~" Ichirouta said between sobs as the wind started to calm itself.

'Is the wind reflecting Ichirouta's emotions…?'

"So… dark"

Shuuya didn't know what to do. His books didn't say anything about he just ran to the bed and trapped Ichirouta into a hug. The young vampire's breathing started to calm down and the strong wind started to fade. Ichirouta buried his face in Shuuya's chest as his sobbing calmed down. Suddenly, the lights went on. He turned to the switched and saw his uncle.

"Uncle, I thought you already left" said Shuuya.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that Ichirouta here is afraid of the dark…"

"But he's a vampire… We rule the night"

"But he's still half human. He could walk under the sun…"

"I see… I'll keep the lights open for him…"

"Thank you, Shuuya"


Time passed. Years went by. Now, Ichirouta is seven years old and is still enjoying the sun, just like when he was younger. He ages like a human despite having a vampire's blood in his veins. But his aging is also like a vampire's a slow process. His looks resembled his father's. Both have blue hair, bangs covering half of his face and he also has the power to control wind. His brown eyes and long hair came from his mother, which he didn't get to meet since the day she was forced to separate ways with Ryuu. Floating in mid-air, intense speed, and transforming into a certain animal… Ichirouta could do these too. Despite being seven years old and already developed his knowledge, he is still afraid of the dark.

"Ichirouta!" Shuuya called from his bedroom window.

The blue-haired boy looked up and smiled as he saw his cousin "Hello, Shuuya. Come, the sun feels great!"

"I don't like the sun, you know that. Come inside, Father and Uncle wants to see us"

"Okay, I'll be up there in a minute" with that said, Ichirouta closed his eyes as his feet were lifted off the ground. Wind blew by; pushing him upward to his cousin's room "I'm here"

"You should be careful when you're under the sun" said Shuuya.

"Don't worry, the sun has no effect on me"

Ichirouta is completely aware of his situation of being half human. His father also explained to him the part where he is not supposed to make any contact with his mother because he is not one of their kind.

"Come," with that, the two walked down the hallways of the manor, heading to the study room.

"Why did they call us?"

"I don't know. Father didn't tell me either. Probably something important concerning The Clan or The Society"

"Mmm"

Once they both reached the study room, they saw their dads talking casually while playing chess. "Father, we are here now"

The two grown-ups turned their heads to their sons and asked them to sit down. "Ichirouta, Shuuya, you both know that you two are part of the Gouenji Clan"

"We do,"

"But do you really know what the meaning of our clan is and what the traditions it holds?"

The two shook their heads.

"Well, our clan is one of the prominent ones in The Society. It holds a great history where our ancestors once battled against the humans and won for hundreds of years. They have managed to stay alive even after facing a Vampire Hunter's weapons. Our clan is one of the strongest ones there is…"

"But there are also some things our clan holds other than the name. Pride. Every member would want the family name to be kept alive. And they don't want the Gouenji blood to be transferred to another vampire of another clan. A Gouenji blood is always and is only for a Gouenji. Meaning the clan does not accept marriage with another clan. Marriage is a huge deal for The Clan, and a Gouenji will only marry another Gouenji. It doesn't matter whether the two are siblings, related or of the same sex. Nothing will matter as long as the bloodline remains"

"What are you saying?" the two young vampires asked.

"You two are the youngest of the Gouenji Clan. Ichirouta, you may not be a full vampire yet. But once you are bitten by another Gouenji, you will become one of us. And if that happens, you have to marry your cousin"

"What? Why? Dad, what is this?"

"That's the condition your grandfather gave me. You will remain with us but you have to marry another Gouenji for the bloodline to continue to grow. Ichirouta… I'm so sorry for not telling you this sooner"

"Dad, I understand our clan has its pride. But I just don't understand why Shuuya and I have to be the one to get married. Even if we get married, the clan will not grow. There is no possibility that a male would give birth"

"It's been done already. Three male couples already gave birth. It seems that when both are in heat or thirst, they're able to reproduce an offspring, even if they're both male"

"But-"

"Ichi," Shuuya started as he gave a sad smile to his cousin saying that everything is alright. "I accept the consequence, Father. If this is what it takes for Ichirouta to stay with us all, I'll accept our clan's tradition…"

"Shuuya…"

"Just accept, Ichi… it'll be better if you just do it. You'll be with us all until the end"

The blue-haired boy fell into silence as he stared at the floor… "If… If Shuuya accepts, I do too" suddenly, he felt arms wrap around him.

"Thank you, Ichirouta" his father said as he hugged him tighter.


That'll be all for chapter 3…
