SerenityxEndymion: yes it is the beginning of things to come. what will happen…the beginning in the ending…

OrientalDanceGirl: Damon is seeing things from only his perspective. He's only seeing that which he feels he can control which is nothing honestly. He hasn't accepted this yet and still wants to try to do things his way but he's going to get his act together…but will it be in time or enough…

3 reviews…that's nice…lets see how you all like the next chapter coming in. its going to be the beginning of the end.

A vampires forbidden love ch.20

Usagi POV

This felt utterly different than any Lycan fight I had been in before and I had my fair share of fights and battles over the years. Decades even…this felt final…like it was our last one or at least would be the one to end them all. I just hoped that the majority of us would be alive and around to see it. When the front doors blew off the hinges we knew they had to have used dynamite or some type of explosive.

This wasn't some hack job this was professional. The big wooden doors splintered off what little wood was splinter-able as they created very loud banging sounding falls to the walls as they collided with other furniture pieces or the walls by the frame creating huge noticeable dents anywhere they hit. Everyone became tense and readied themselves for the life altering battle that lay ahead.

The smoke and debris that came from it was most likely from the explosive remnants left over along with nice sizable chunks of the door frame that came with it. There was no gun shots at first. Just the billowy grey and white smoke that came next along with the darkness that spoke of the outside before a large howling was heard. I knew it had to be Yamamoro. I just knew it. Then the estate actually moved a little. It was like a small vibration that shook the whole living room and dining room area we were all in.

I looked up at the ceiling and saw the chandeliers we had move about a little bit signaling how much weight just impacted on the roof tops we had and wondered if they had managed to take out our snipers on the roof tops, "Roof snipers are you there?" I demanded into the com hoping beyond anything that we still had them. I heard rustling through the com's and stood for a few tense seconds before hearing, "Just barely…"

I was thankful that I at least got a voice, "At least half a dozen Lycan's jumped us up here. Those new rounds really helped." I breathed a sigh of temporary relief knowing that our efforts had helped so far. I heard a few more gun pops over the com's as I heard him yell, "We've got more incoming." Before more shots were fired. That's when we heard the battle yells as the Lycan's still in human form came in with guns of their own shooting at us through where the front doors once were.

Within seconds it was an all-out gun fight between the Lycan's and the vampires. Both sides shooting and taking hits as they went along. The Lycan's filtering inside like gun totting ants filing in through the broken doorway. Though it would be a matter of time before they figured out that we figured them out regarding the technology being used to cancel each other out. Our vamps knew to duck as many of the special ammo rounds that they had while trying to go in for closer hand to hand combat tactics.

The bullets that hit the walls and staircases made impacting holes that took out big chips of the wood and tile around. The vampires that were taking shots at the Lycan's nailed them and the walls behind them along with others. Our first wave started to progress downwards towards them in an effort to slowly push them back outside. They stood their ground but a few backed up and got taken down.

The semi-automatics were going off with such frequency that it was hard to discern from our bullets or theirs. Not that it really mattered but knowing that we weren't being depleted as badly would give us the advantage of more weapons to use and not the hail mary we had. "We're getting slaughtered up here!" our roof top unit shouted through the com's. I looked back to see Toki with his own gun and his assistant trying to fight.

"Toki, you and you go up to the rooftop and help them!" I ordered as both ran towards the second floor for access to the roof tops as I continued to try and help from where I was at but I had very little advantage for my usual attacks which were more solo based and where I didn't have a staircase banister in front of me. I flipped myself over it and held on to the edge as I shot more clearly and effectively at the Lycan's only to have a group of them focus solely on me. I began shooting at them when I felt a pull.

Mamoru grabbed me around my waist and pulled me back over as the banister was covered from bottom to top in bullets, making everyone in the area duck down to avoid the gun fire. Mamoru looked at me like 'what were you thinking?' when I responded, "I drew their fire so that others could take them out." Looking back over a few other vamps against another wall that did take them out.

They momentarily nodded at me silently as they kept shooting at the other Lycan's letting me know they had my back and that of those around me as the five Lycan's that were shooting were now dead on the floor. I took a quick look and found the blood to already be seeping into the rugs we had below. Staining them permanently though that was the least of our concerns right now. I nodded back thankful for the back up as Mamoru had pulled me away before I could get some solid shots out. "See all good…" I muttered.

All anyone could see next was the white flash every time a bullet would go flying which was every second on the second. I had my guns out ready to shoot but only had managed to take a few Lycan's out down below. It was becoming so mixed with vampires and lycan's alike that it was becoming a struggle to tell the difference other than with smell and even that was becoming difficult to sense.

To many of both in one room to distinguish from this perspective on who was who by scent alone. It made me glad that I had known the vampires in here for decades or else I might have given someone some friendly fire. That's when I saw some reflections in the corner of my eyes making me instinctually duck. Mamoru stood next to me as he shot at the reflection to. I looked down from where we were at and saw that they had what looked like hand made metal sheets with bullet proof glass welded on them.

It was poorly constructed but not so poorly that it wasn't workable as they were very effective in taking the bullets. "Hold your fire against the shields!" I ordered into the com's as the vampires shifted their focus from the shields to the Lycan's behind them. I narrowed my eyes at the cheeky little bastards. The shooting Lycan's were smart, hiding behind the big metal sheets as the other Lycan's were holding it up to give the shooter ability to take out the opponent, "Damon!" I snapped.

Once I gained his attention which shockingly was on his father for once, I nudged my head letting him know what I saw. He peaked over the railing of the stair case we were on and saw the several shields that they had in place. "First wave advance forward and take out the shields!" he ordered through the com's as the first wave of vampires went down and began to advance on the horde down below.

He threw me some hand signals telling me what he wanted to do. Agreeing to it we stood up and unloaded bullet after bullet into the Lycan's behind them, squeezing them off between the blind spots that were present. Once thing Damon and I got good at over the years was working well off each other in these matters however things seemed to be different now. As the first wave came out and took out the shield Lycan's taking away the room it was given the others behind them Damon began acting as if to charge the remaining Lycan's which wasn't smart.

It would leave him at a tactical disadvantage if he didn't wise up and get back into formation before it was time to disperse. Though I did see that the hand to hand combat training was a good idea as they were able to take them out more effectively and not wasting ammunition once the shields were taken down. the first wave used silver army knives to gain access to the shields and bypass the human form Lycan's by stabbing them in their sides and disabling them from holding up the shields.

However, more Lycan's were coming in, pilling in through the door frame with more guns than ever before. I definitely didn't recall seeing EVERYTHING I was seeing here this evening and this breach had only just begun. I was beginning to wonder if we'd need to send Diamond out before it was time. I looked back to find him huddled in a corner on the stairwell holding his head in his hands.

I jump back up to him. He looked so lost and honestly a little bit scared. This was the big bad that took out an entire village over two hundred years ago…? That viciously tore people apart. I guess its different if its humans to feast upon compared to Lycan's. I had to get him into the game here though, our lives depended on it. "Diamond what's wrong?" I pulled his hands away from his head as he looked at me with wide and uncomfortable eyes.

"Serenity this is madness! I can't fight them!" he started to look incredibly panicked as he rocked himself back and forth in his little corner. You'd think he was having a mild panic attack, "I'll take care of you later…" as if the war wasn't enough I just had to have our hail mary get cold ass feet. I looked around and saw some vampires going down. Blood spurting from their wounds of being shot as the Lycan rounds were taking our own out. I was horrified to watch some of our own fall down in the fight.

I watch Damon flinch as the two on his left side went down within moments of their own enemies going down thanks to their bullets. That's when I saw Yamamoro waltzing in through the front door as if he owned the place he was walking into. Mamoru grabbed my hand as if he needed strength. I saw near where he was there was several Lycan bodies both in wolf form and some not in it, dead on the floor from his guns. Yamamoro looked over and saw the dead a few feet from him…he looked up and saw me right then to.

There was a weird understanding that passed between us. I saw something in him that I never saw in Damon nor in Diamond…pure evil. His eyes were dark and cold as ice. His facial expression like the calm before the storm. His stance and dress attire as if he was preparing to set up shop here in our home. Perhaps he was…but he wouldn't be. he'd have to crush us all to take this house from us.

Then I saw the way he looked at me. He would enjoy ripping the life from everyone of us if he could. It shook me to my core as I touched the sword around my back as a reminder of what I would be doing very soon to him. I just needed a little bit of time and to get him alone. It was something I wondered would prove difficult unless I could lure him away from his many Lycan cohort's and get him one on one.

The blade was cool to the touch and sharper than your average Japanese steel. It would work well against delivering the killing blow to any Lycan that stood in its path, but only needed to kill one. I looked to my left to find Damon glaring at me for but a moment before he got entangled with a few transforming Lycan's that enjoyed taking swats at him. His gun getting swatted away as he grabbed at his hunting knife and stabbed the first Lycan in the throat as he got close enough to it.

I didn't want the lead Lycan prick to know of our elder's presence so I gripped my guns and in a split second shot at Yamamoro. Pulling his attention towards myself and making sure our elder was out of the line of sight. My bullets would have hit him dead on in the face had he not seen the move coming milliseconds beforehand. Within seconds of my shooting he pulled up high enough to block out all of my shots and allow, the unsuspecting Lycan in front of him, to take the shoots as a human shield before dropping him like a sack of potatoes.

I saw the look on his face. The lack of care for others survival but his own. I wondered how the hell he became a leader with all of this if he was willing to let his own soldiers become so expendable in this war. I can't describe what his own people thought of him right now only that mine were taking in shoots but delivering more as well. It helped however that anytime one of ours shot at Yamamoro he held up another Lycan in front to take his place.

He held no regard for anyone else's safety other than his own. He grabbed a gun from another Lycan to his side getting him killed by a vampire, kudos to the vamp, he then made to shoot at me but I got pulled back by Mamoru who shot down at him himself with his Glock side pieces just enough to make Yamamoro stop shooting at me and focus on avoiding lead from Mamoru's guns just as he himself took cover behind another of his troops.

I saw a scant look about from Yamamoro. I couldn't tell where his face had turned to in those few seconds but I looked around to survey how we were doing and found things to be somewhat evened out still. If this kept up we both would be wiped out. That's when I heard a big gun. I looked over to my left once I twisted away from Mamoru, but only to see over the railing as I watched another vampire going flying back easily twenty feet from the force of the gun being used alone.

The vamp looked up in shock as his guts were now on display before I looked up to see three Lycan's with these big guns coming towards us. The vampire died shortly afterwards as he was then shot in the head a few times by another close by Lycan. I saw our elder going down to aim for protecting us when I pulled him out of the way and down where Diamond was making Diamond look at the both of us in fear and shock, "Sir please…" I begged. "Usagi…Serenity…" it got my attention.

"Sir…?" I asked, trying to hear him over the gun fire. The battle was raging on despite our ill -timed conversation but I had to keep him safe. It was one of our jobs as 'cleaners' to keep them safe, "I know you want to save everyone but that's just not possible." He remarked as he pushed me out of the way with ease, "Besides if this is how it will end then allow me to see it through." I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Demo…" I tried, "No my child…there will come a time when you are in my place and your own child asks the same of you…" I wondered where he would go with this, "We elders cannot live forever. I have lived past my time and if this is the end then at least I know that my children are alive and well. Now let me go." I guess I held no choice as he pushed me out of his way and into the fray. I relented as he blurred with speed that I had never seen before down the stairs and took out the three Lycan's in one fell swoop without breaking a sweat.

I looked over at Damon and said, "Yeah sorry but that was totally bad ass of him." Even he had to admit to it as he readily his own weapon and shot at some Lycan's. Nailing them square in the chest before hitting the head he moved his way down the steps as I followed slowly in his head as I had done on numerous occasions. I trusted Damon in the battlefield and it seemed battle hardened Damon was back. I would take it as we all needed to be.

I took out a few more with my guns before reloading then saw Damon fighting. He was really going all out and looked to be almost enjoying the killing. For a moment it caught Yamamoro's attention as he surveyed the area. The Damon gave a battle hard cry as he disappeared beneath the pack of Lycan's now on and over him. I worried over him as I lost my visual of him. It saw that Yamamoro ignored the disappearing Damon and refocused himself elsewhere.

Briefly a flashback of our time together went through my head. I saw blood spurting up from between the Lycan's over him and brief stint of pain hit me before it went away. Was that all Damon's potential death meant to me? A brief pause of pain. Somehow for everything I expected more but maybe that was also due to us being in the MIDDLE of the biggest fight of our lives but at the same time I felt like I should have cared more.

I tried to ignore my own personal feelings especially as there were more Lycan's to kill. I was still trying to keep Yamamoro from finding out that our elder was here. Until it was the right time anyways. I ducked as one of the many furry deadly beasts jumped up and landed on the stairs next to me. I turned my right arm to shot at it but the Lycan batted my hand away so I swung my other hand around, aimed upwards and hit the furry beast in the face. Blood and bits of his face went flying. Some of it landing on me.

It fell part way but I made sure the rest of him went down and stayed down by placing my booted foot on its head and shooting it twice more in the head. A few more tried to do the same thing but our vampires were to smart for it. Many of the Lycan's that tried it got shot down before they could get up there but those that did make up past the banister were either sliced and stabbed to death by one of ours or got into fist fights with ours.

I saw Rei coming out and around as she used her agility to best a Lycan that had been chasing after her. She ducked around a wooden post in the middle of the living room leading in to the dining room giving her a break from the Lycan trying to behead her with his paw. He wouldn't gain to much of an advantage with her. Rei was a fireball when it came to combat. I only felt a sense of dread though when I saw her getting cornered by another as the first one landed a hit to her person.

Rei POV

I came out from where my position was at to see how well the fight was going. I had my own vest on but being part of the second wave didn't give me the opportunity to throw myself straight into battle. Makoto had been incredibly helpful for me as of late and her help to get me out of my bind was something I admired in her. Taking on a Lycan herself was no easy feat yet she made it look easy.

She had this stronger than everyone air to her that was unbelievable. But she was incredibly strong. I however wasn't as strong as she was so I relied more on my skills to best the Lycan's. I ended separated from her as I lured another Lycan away having stabbed the first one with my now lost knife. Having stabbed the one Lycan in the head but being unable to pull the knife free in time.

I rounded the wooden post and narrowly avoided getting my head swiped off in a blow that could have taken me out. Instead it just left a massive dent in the post. I saw the Lycan watch me avidly waiting for me to make a move before taking the advantage of my none movement as fear to not move but that wasn't why. The Lycan was blocking a sword display we had in the living room. Though none were dulled none had been used in ages either.

As the Lycan came after me I barely ducked its paw as I ran part way up the wall, grabbed a sword, then spun and twisted around to swing and decapitate the Lycan from behind. It fell to the ground as I remarked, "You big hairy beasts never learn." That's when my next target came up to me. A Lycan about to transform. Instead of waiting for the big show of it I swung out and flipped over him as he fell down, decapitated to.

I flicked the blade in my hands and said, "Nice…" in reflection of the swords sharpness even now. But that wouldn't be lasting long as another Lycan came forward only while she light her eyes up to showcase her Lycan side she didn't transform. Not fully anyways, "I always enjoy killing when I'm in human form…especially another vampire…my father so enjoys those moments." Before I could ask on the father thing she began swinging a sword of her own at me with a speed I hadn't seen before.

She was definitely older than me to have this much speed in her movements. We clashed time and time again with the swords as they were starting to hurt our hands from all the vibrations going through them. There were several times I swapped the sword from hand to hand just as she was but she looked like she was having fun, "Oh this is exciting. I don't always get the chance to enjoy my food before I eat it." Ok…I thought to myself.

"Psycho bitch." I muttered as I cut her off at a post where her sword got lodged into it. I knew it would only lodge for so long so I spun around and kicked her hands away from it before spinning around her with my speed and slamming her face into said post. Her head looked like it got knocked around pretty decently as I went to go slam my foot into it. She moved before I could make contact but the impact made part of the wood post splinter and break apart. I cursed that I missed her head by seconds.

Her eyes light up with excitement, "Righteously fun!" I looked at her like she was a tad nuts which she appeared to be, "Who the hell are you?" she was stronger than any Lycan I'd ever seen or encountered. Though I was glad that no one else seemed to notice as I didn't need to be dealing with more than one right now. She was strong enough already, she didn't need any help at all.

"I am my father's daughter." Was her mischievous response as she jumped up, kicked me in the gut, flipped over and launched herself at me using the wall behind her as he head connected with my upper body painfully so. I fell back against the coffee table nearby before flipping myself back up on my booted feet and swung my sword back in my hand. I spun around and met hers head on with a clack that was hard enough to grin the swords together.

We stepped forward getting a bit into each other's personal space as our swords were painfully pinned together. I looked her in the eyes and found her eyes to be that of soullessness. Seeing such darkness was just more proof that she needed to die. Who knew how many perished at her feet. She enjoyed the battle here today. Her eyes light up at the prospect of killing me. But I was stronger than she gave me credit for.

I just barely broke the hold our swords had against one another without cutting something else that I needed. I swung mine around and used the butt of the sword to punch her more effectively in the face as she bowed back from the force of the hit. Then spinning around on her too fast to be seen I then grabbed her around her waist and using our combined momentum threw her into the nicely decorated chairs in the dining room area we were now in.

She hit the wall but then smiled and grabbed a wooden wall decoration, broke it to make a good stabbing javelin out of it. "Okay now your starting to piss me off." She muttered. I dodge the first few hits to my person and tried to get close enough to grab the wooden décor piece. She was definitely a good fighter and strong to. Plus her father comment made me want to know who it was I was fighting, it could be important.

"So who is this father of yours?" I asked, as I hit her with the sword again only for her to knock it away with the wooden spear thing. Hitting the top of my hand and dislocating a finger I had to pop back into place, "Cause I have news for you…" I got the wooden thing down as I slammed my fist into her face. Breaking her nose on contact. I saw the blood pouring out as she cried out in frustration at being nailed the way I did, "Not so tough without your stick are yah?" I grinned at her in mock fashion.

Her eyes light up again as she twisted it around in her hand and stabbed it into my upper shoulder in a move to quick for me to counter. I whimpered a tiny bit as she pushed me into the opposite wall from the force, "Your kind will be dead by the next morning's light. You'll all perish and I will walk my fabulous boots all over your ashes." She pushed the wooden spear thing into me harder making me wince.

That is until I grabbed at it and twisted it hard enough to break it off. One end piece still in me and the other in her hands still. "I'm done playing now…" she said as she went to hit me again with it when I remembered my own knife. It was made of silver as well so I knew it would do harm and damage to the right person. Pulling it out of my front waistband I threw it at her as fast as I could to avoid her being able to block it, nailing her right in the face with it.

I saw the decorative wooden thing fall from her hands as she tried to pull the knife out of her eye socket. The blade itself was wedged in there deeply, blood pouring out before she was able to pull the blade out and toss it in the room, "You fucking bitch!" she cried out. The blood was pouring out like a fountain from her socket as she cried at the pain of it. I couldn't help but smirk a bit at my handy work. This bitch thought she had me, please.

"Did you really think you had me?" I asked in mock humor at her. She glared as me as hard as one could having just lost an eye. Her other eye looked filled with tears yet enough anger coursing through her to not blur her vision and to have something to focus on. "We had you the moment you existed. And now it'll be your extinction." Now she looked done with playing cat and mouse.

"I'm gonna kill you!" she cried out in anger and rage from her lost eye, "Take your best shot bitch!" I snapped back as I vaulted myself back up off the ground and in re-claiming the sword I swung it and sliced halfway through her right side. She gripped onto it again and this time looked at me with a grin on her face, "I only wish to have lived long enough to have seen my father kill every last one of you…" she said as I pulled it from her form but didn't want to take any chances and stabbed her in the throat.

She grabbed onto the blade trying to keep it in place even letting her own hand getting sliced to keep it in place. "Who the hell is your father." The stupid teasings were getting on my last nerves with this Lycan bitch. I knew she was trying to stay alive for just a little bit longer as she mustered her last words through the blood pouring from her mouth, "Yamamoro is my father…he will kill you all…" before she let go and I was able to pull the blade out and watch her gurgle on her own blood.

That's when her words hit me, "That bastard fucktard is her father…son of a bitch…" we had never known about Yamamoro having any children and from the fight and how she talked was that of a very old and very disturbed woman. He must have kept her hidden away all these years or else I'm sure we would have heard of her. something tells me she would have become something of a living legend.

Like Diamond had for our coven she would have become the same for them. Though this was speculation. There was no evidence of it just my own inner thoughts that questioned a lot about everything. However if she was telling the truth I had to tell Usagi this. If we could get her head in front of Yamamoro it might just enrage him enough to lose focus make a mistake and get the rest of his people killed.

And with that in mind I got an idea. I grabbed her now lifeless body and laid it flat to cut off the rest of her head, making sure it was severed nicely and cleanly. Yamamoro would rule the day he tried to fuck with our coven. Grabbing the now severed head by the hair I began to leave out, "Usagi you're not gonna believe this!" I started to say into the com's when I felt something hit me in the head and darkness claiming me.

Usagi POV

Was Damon truly dead though was my biggest concern. Leadership fell to his father yes but it also fell to me if either go down. I didn't know where the leader impression came from but I wasn't one. I was just another soldier in this coven. Another battle hardened vampire. Yet once Damon went down several others turned to me for leadership. My heart pounded faster than before as I ordered two to take care of the Lycan's on Damon.

Even if he was dead we still needed to kill the furry beasts. The two vamps got within range and shot at the Lycan's that jumped on top of him before Damon let out a battle cry and was able to kill the last one and reemerged from the pile of bodies with only a few scraps but nothing serious. He nodded to the vamps and ordered them to take out any Lycan's by the outside still. I had to admit good call as you don't want there to be any reinforcements to get called out for.

Then Damon turned to me, "Usagi take the second wave and fall back!" I was about to follow that order when I heard 'Usagi you're not gonna believe this!" before I could respond the com on Rei's end went dead. "Mamoru go see Rei and make sure she's okay I have to lead the second wave." He looked ready to protest till I said, "I'm not asking." I nudged him to go. I knew he just wanted to protect me but I could handle this.

"Mamoru!" he looked back at me, "I know you want to protect me but protect me by protecting those that I care about. Rei is down and may need help, help her then return here but we need everyone." He nodded, came forward to give me a quick kiss then left to go make sure Rei was okay and not in serious trouble. I would lead the second wave in and hope that Diamond would get out of his mind funk.

Mamoru POV

I hadn't wanted to leave her side but if Rei needed help then I had to go, plus Usako was capable of taking care of herself. Sometimes she just did things that made me think was she was crazy to do it yet she gets out unscathed. She truly is one of a kind. After a lot of dodging of other Lycan's some of which I shot others I stabbed from behind to help the vampires they were attacking before I made it to Rei.

I got to the room where Rei was and found her on the floor sounding woozy as she touched her head. The only thing I could think of was that he got the drop on her after she killed that…I looked around and found a female body in the corner…female Lycan and severed her head, though I was curious on why until I saw the head next to her being picked up by another Lycan that was knelt down by Rei's form.

He looked disinterested but happy as well, "Yamamoro won't be pleased with this…but bringing back your head will help." He muttered as he went to cut her head off. Rei was still looking unable to react in time so just as he stood back up to shoot her I made my move. Besides it seemed he had just knocked her down for that moment to see who's head she had next to her form. I couldn't make out anything besides long dark hair on the head he dropped to go back after Rei.

Using my newly enhanced speed I blurred and cannonballed into the guy. He and I both crashed into the end of the couch before we both recovered back on our feet. I had my knives out ready to fight since this was to close quarters for the guns to be used. Besides we were working to conserve the ammo not expend it wherever. There were only so many silver nitrate bullets made for this war.

The Lycan even looked a tad familiar to me. It was in the eyes. I remembered those eyes…but why? "I'm going to enjoy killing your girlfriend then you!" he shouted. I caught his gun wielding hand seconds before he could get a shot off and removed the clip allowing him only one shot to have. It went off automatically from the slight pressure and I could feel the heat of it pass by my ear.

Deciding to ignore the jib regarding her as my girlfriend I unconsciously moved the muscle around my ear to feel its burnt edges. It was a tad painful and I knew I had a tiny bit of a burn on my ear but that didn't matter. Rei was still down for the count and I needed to save her. he must have hit her hard enough to keep her out for a bit. However, this Lycan was stronger than the others I had dealt with.

He kicked me hard enough to send me into the wall. I coughed up at the compressing feeling it gave me. "Shit!" I cursed pulling out my own knives as I just barely got up in time to counter his lung at me as I slammed my knives into the Lycan's chest repeatedly using the momentum to force him back against the opposite wall until he transformed enough to have one of them get lodged inside of his chest between his ribs.

I grabbed for another knife and stuck it in the Lycan's neck but the blade must have been too short as the Lycan didn't go down that easily. Plus I hated the fact that I couldn't get past the eyes. I had seen this man before but from where? My memory was wracking itself to find out how I knew this man and from where. I cursed myself as in my state of mind frame the Lycan found purchase and grabbed onto my neck with decent force.

He let out a roar of victory at me as he was ready to sink his teeth into my neck when my hands instinctively went to those eyes of his and began to gouge them out. I was just so upset and admittedly frustrated with myself for letting my guard down just because of his eyes. I was unsure of half the reason why when the memory slammed into me like a freight train. Those were the same eyes from that night. When my parents were murdered by these creatures. "You?" I questioned as he got back up.

Howling at his lost eyes. They were bleeding and gushing with other fluids I cared not to name. "The Fuck?" he demanded of me, his anger clear as day as he tried to find me by touch alone now. His sight compromised but not completely gone as he took swats at me, "You murdered my family a long time ago." I explained, "I've murdered many families over the decades. Care to be more specific?" the Lycan had to nerve to be sarcastic with me.

Though knowing that there was more than just one family hit harder. I truly was just lucky that night that I lived. It seemed I was the only survivor. That in itself made me more determined to take him down. I had to…for my family and the others now to. "You remember a young boy? You thought you killed him with one blow against a rock?" he seemed to be trying to remember that event.

"Oh now I remember…the food that night was very good…Yamamoro wanted fresh meat." I gripped the knife on me harder now as we spoke, giving us both also a chance to contemplate what would happen next. "So Yamamoro was there?" I asked. "In town for a visit…I was hungry and went for food when he ordered some to." The Lycan presented a toothy grin that made me sick. Talking about us as food like we were happy meals on legs just waiting to be picked off one by one.

"You murdered my family that night." A blood thirst of my own came over me. I was currently in front of the Lycan that killed my parents. I wasn't going to let him get away with it. Feeling my own vampirism come out more strongly than before I vamped out and hissed my anger as I flung myself at him, my knife out as I started to stab at the Lycan. "I did as ordered…" he tried to stop me. I was to enraged for him to beat me off so easily. Besides I had a feeling he was a much older Lycan.

"As a commanding officer to Yamamoro I am one of his utmost loyal and trusted, if he wanted a family dead I would do it with a smile on my which I did many occasions." That glistening smile on his face from having enjoyed killing families for his leader. To be working for the leading Lycan prick for that long he had to be a higher-ranking soldier. Seeing him gain some bearing I went into overhaul mode and kept stabbing at him, not letting up as I threw myself bodily against his form.

Mutilating his trying to transform body before he could with all of my rage and anger from those traumatizing events so long ago. But it seemed I had lost sight of what I was supposed to be doing and what I was doing as seconds later I was flung off of him. I got back up to find his fully transforming and that roar sound he made. It was like I was a child again. It took me back there and I froze.

That's when I heard Rei's voice say, "Mamoru! Get your head in the game if you want to be back with Usagi!" all of a sudden my focus came back as quickly as it had left and I just barely caught the Lycan's paw. He growled but I growled to as I punched him as hard as I could in the stomach before using one of my combat moves to land him on the ground. The Lycan rolled over and tossed me into a chair as he got back up.

By this point I had no visual of Rei. Wherever she was I hoped she was recovering as I was about to be doing soon to. This Lycan was very strong and I was starting to feel a little bit like the newbie that Damon always called me out for. I got myself back up on my feet and grabbed onto the knife again as the Lycan jumped on me. Yet again I was stabbing at him until I jammed the knife into his throat and kept trying to use it to cut his throat open.

I started to try and scissor it when he grabbed at my hands with his and began to pry them from him when Rei jumped on him from out of nowhere and pulled his arms back. It granted me the freedom needed to get a better grip on the knife and with a cry of anger and rage cut open the Lycan's throat and getting sprayed with his blood as he fell to the ground in a heap of fur and pure muscle.

I looked at Rei and saw her fangs out, "Prick!" she snapped at him as she turned to grab the head he dropped to kill her. "Why the hell did you severe that Lycan?" I asked, "Cause…she grabbed up the head and showed it to me. "She claimed to be Yamamoro's daughter." I looked at the bloodied thing and shockingly asked, "He has offspring?" I was stunned by this, "Had offspring. Not anymore." She seemed pretty proud.

"So he got the jump on you?" I asked regarding the dead Lycan as we heard the battle still raging on in the estate. I could hear my Usako shouting orders as well as snapping some through the com's. "That fucker clocked me in the back of the head with something hard as shit." She defended gripping onto the head of the decapitated Lycan in her anger. Part of her looking at the other Lycan to potentially see what he'd hit her with.

"And you killed him." she was upset with me for NOT letting her have that kill. I should be insulted and snippy but she didn't know what that kill meant for me. How cathartic it was to kill the man responsible for my families death so many years later. "It should have been me." She snapped. I glared at her, "He's the prick that killed my family. It was me for a reason." She looked up at me.

"That prick…you sure?" she asked looking down at the dead Lycan at our feet. It still looked damned big but weird now that it was dead on the ground. I feared this thing growing up and now I've just killed it. That was weird. I nodded and said, "So that was for my parents. They didn't need to die for someone's food!" I ground out. She saw the truth in my words and in an act of acceptance of them she said, "Okay fine but the next ones mine." I agreed on that as we went back in to join the fray.
