A/N Okay, okay I know that the lateness of this chapter is absolutely inexcusable., but please please forgive me. I'm not going to spend ages telling you why this chapter is late, I'll just leave you to it.
Disclaimer: I do not own H.O.T.D because if I did, Mayonaka would be in the series.
Mayonaka let out a long, slow hiss from between her teeth. It grew in volume and echoed all the way around the two vampires as they faced off against one another. "I will show you what I can do. I have gotten stronger since you last saw me, Father." Venom dripped from Mayonaka's words as she spoke and it especially showed in the last word.
"Hmph. Foolish child." Mayonaka's mother lifted up her hand to her mouth as she began to laugh loudly. "You are in no place to say that. I really do not see what you see in those humans." Her beautiful blue eyes took on a much colder look as she glared at Mayonaka. "Humans are a pathetic foolish race. We are superior. Look around you. These precious humans that you care about would die if it wasn't for us. Since you are siding with them you are no better. In fact you are worse. You are scum. I regret ever giving birth to you."
"Stop this!" Komuro shouted out as he stood up; shaking all over. "This is wrong! You're family!"
"Komuro don't. Please." Mayonaka pleaded as she stood in between Komuro and her Father.
"Why should I? This isn't -" Komuro started.
"Shut the hell up! For once in your life do as I tell you! You're going to be killed if you keep this up!" Mayonaka shouted out suddenly; interrupting Komuro.
"Mayonaka…" Komuro muttered.
"Oh, honey look at this." Mayonaka's mother purred in a sickly sweet voice. "The human has feelings for our daughter."
"And by the looks of it our daughter has feeling for the disgusting human. I feel sick." Mayonaka's father muttered as he checked out his claws. He suddenly turned on Mayonaka. "Mayonaka I'm disowning you. You are fully aware of what that means."
Mayonaka gritted her teeth together and held her ground.
"What does it mean?" Komuro asked.
"It means that she has less than thirty seconds left to live." Mayonaka's mother responded.
Komuro's eyes widened. "What?"
"It was nice knowing you everyone. I'm going to be fighting a losing battle here." Mayonaka sighed. "The things I do for you humans."
"Mayonaka? What's going on?" Komuro asked.
"Are you really that stupid human?" Mayonaka's father asked.
Komuro just stared at him with a blank expression on his face.
"I guess he really is, honey." Mayonaka's mother responded.
"Mayonaka has challenged me. I have accepted her challenge. She has no hope for survival." Mayonaka's father walked forward with one hand outstretched. He gripped hold of Mayonaka's chin. "It will be such a shame. Me and your mother had such great plans for you. It's regretful that you decided to side with humans over your own family."
Mayonaka growled in response and lashed out with her foot. It flew up into the air and came down hard on the joint that connects the upper arm and the lower arm. "Enough talk. Let's get this over with." Mayonaka spun around and grabbed a hold of Komuro's shirt. She bent down close to the ground and threw him across it towards the other. "Make sure he stays over there. If he doesn't, he'll end up as a midnight snack."
Saeko nodded. "I understand."
"Oh, look. The humans are working together. How sweet." The blue eyed woman laughed again. "I can't wait to taste there blood."
"I thought you said that you didn't want anything to do with humans who have been around Mayonaka?" Takagi called out as she pushed her glasses further up her nose.
"Oh, I guess humans do have the ability to retain information after all. Well, I was lying about that. Teenage blood is the best. It is filled with wondrous amounts of energy and hormones. You think I would risk missing that?" Mayonaka's mother muttered sweetly as she advanced towards the group of Highschool students.
Mayonaka ran out and blocked her mother's path. "Back off mother."
"Lynda, leave it for now. After Mayonaka's dead we can feast of the blood of the teenagers. Please hold your fangs, darling." Mayonaka's father answered as he walked over.
Lynda held up her perfectly manicured nails and inspected them. "You are right, Lucas. We must wait until the trash is taken out. Then we can feast."
Mayonaka let out a sharp growl.
Lucas reached out and grabbed a large handful of Mayonaka's silver hair. He then proceeded to lift her off of the ground. "Your opponent is me Mayonaka. You should know better than to turn your back on me. Or, has the humans stupidity rubbed off on you?"
Mayonaka let out a sharp growl as she clawed at her Father's hand; desperately trying to escape.
"How dare you growl at me! Learn your place scum!" With a sharp flick of his wrist he sent Mayonaka flying through the air.
She hit the fence on the other side of the enclosure, which was a good few miles away.
"Is that all you have?" Lucas shouted out.
Mayonaka's body trembled and she winced as she tried to pull herself off of the ground. "N-No it's not!" Mayonaka regained the strength in her voice and she took of running.
As she ran her legs began to blur as she gathered up more and more speed. She held out the two swords and crossed them over in front of each other. "I'm not the same girl I was last time you saw me!"
"You're right." Lynda replied. "You're a lot weaker and a lot softer."
Mayonaka growled and turned her body slightly. She picked up speed and charged straight at her mother.
Lynda gasped as she got knocked straight off of her feet. Mayonaka growled as she brought her face in closer. "Shut up and mind your nose."
"Trash like you has no right to talk to me, Queen of the vampires, in such a barbaric manner. Learn your place!" Lynda kicked Mayonaka square in the stomach and sent her spiralling up into the air.
Mayonaka travelled up high before she finally came down to land on Lucas's fist. She was propelled up again before Lucas jumped up and kicked her in the side. The force of the impact sent her flying through the air again.
"Your opponent is me!" Lucas shouted out.
"Mayonaka!" Komuro shouted out as he made to run towards her. He was held back by Saeko.
"Don't. If you do you will be killed." Saeko muttered calmly.
"But-" Komuro started.
Saeko shook her head. "I know this is hard; it's hard for all of us. But this is a fight that we can't get involved in. This is a fight between supernatural beings. We don't stand a chance."
"You should listen to the purple-haired piece of scum, boy. She is right. Mayonaka doesn't stand a chance. What makes you think that you do?" Lynda replied smugly.
Komuro gritted his teeth together.
"Yes. The best thing for you to do right now would be to keep quiet."
Lucas strode over to Mayonaka and glanced down at her body that was trembling violently. "You're taking too long to get up. I'm getting bored so I thought I'd help you." Lucas reached up and lifted Mayonaka up off of the ground by her hair he then dropped her onto the ground. "Look at you. You're all battered and bruised. You're hundreds of years to young to be taking down your own Father. You never stood a chance from the beginning. If only you could have been normal and drank human blood… You wouldn't be such a mess."
"Shut your trap you disgusting monster." Mayonaka growled out in response.
"Oh? You still have fight left in you. I'll soon fix that for you." Lucas swung up his leg and tried to kick Mayonaka in the stomach, but she intercepted with her sword.
Her sword then got stuck as Lucas's leg quickly healed over again. "I guess your in trouble now. If you drank human blood inside of the blood of those scummy animals then you could have healing powers like me." Lucas yanked the sword out and flicked his wrist; sending Mayonaka flying back down towards the ground again.
Mayonaka caught her balance on her hands just in the nick of time and her legs around in a circle. She caught her Father in the face with both feet and he stumbled back a fraction of an inch.
"Foolish girl. You have no chance to defeat me. Give up now and maybe you will have a slightly better death."
"Either way, I'm still going to die. I may as well die fighting." Mayonaka lashed out with her feet again and so the close-combat fight started.
Mayonaka lashed with her fists and then with her feet one after the other. Her Father intercepted and blocked every attack and Mayonaka cart wheeled out of the way.
She skidded backwards across the ground and spun on her heels sharply before pegging it up the nearest fence. She flipped off of it backwards and came down hard with her feet towards her Father's face.
Lucas moved with lightning speed and caught both of her legs in a steel-like vice. "Your efforts are futile child. You need to be stronger."
Mayonaka growled again as her Father threw her back towards the fence again. Her back hit the fence hard and got covered in cuts as she slid down it to land beside the group of Highschool students.
"Mayonaka…" Komuro trailed off as he took in her terrible state and equally terrible wounds.
Mayonaka glanced over at the group of Highschool students and quickly scooped Alice off of the ground. She jumped up and towards the fence and kicked at it with all the strength that she could muster into her legs.
The fence fell down and Mayonaka landed on her knees on the other side. "Come on guys we need to get out of here. There's no way I can win this fight."
Everyone just stared at her.
"Come on!" At the urgency of her voice everyone finally began to move again.
"How dare you! You little bit-" Lynda started but trailed off as she found Lucas's arm in front of her. She looked up into his calm face. "Why are you letting her go? She's taking the humans with her."
"I know. Let her. She's right. She can't win against me. Not yet. She needs to get stronger. She's grown a backbone. Do you remember when she was a child? She always refused to fight me because she was too scared. She has no fear now but she's still almost as weak as human. Let her grow stronger and she will surely come back. Right now, she's not worth our time."
"But I don't understand. How can you allow her to live?"
Lucas cupped his hands around his mouth. "I knew you were still a chicken! Run away like the little wimp you are! Run away and grow up stronger! Next time I see you I expect you to put up more of a fight! 'Cause if you don't I will kill you!"
Mayonaka growled before letting out a sharp sigh. She limped over to the humvee and jumped up onto the roof.
"I still don't understand…" Lynda said. "She's an embarrassment to our family let you allow her to live?"
Lucas looked down at her. "I know she's a disgrace, but killing her now wouldn't be fair. She hasn't reached eighteen yet. Killing her before she awakens fully just wouldn't be fair. It would bring shame to our name."
"Even so…" Lynda trailed off as she watched the humans pour into the humvee. "Sometimes I really don't understand you."
Lucas chuckled. "I know."
Mayonaka kept her gaze locked on the enclosure as the humvee drove further and further away from it.
"Well that's just great! We didn't get any supplies! That was a complete waste of time!" Takagi shouted out from the middle seat of the humvee.
"Excuse me~" Hirano sang as he held up several bags of food and water bottles. "While everyone was fighting I took this."
"Oh. Maybe it wasn't such a waste of time after all." Saeko muttered as she grinned at Takagi.
Hirano smiled. "You can always count on me to find food!"
Meanwhile…
"When will we be attacking?" The new vampire hunter asked impatiently.
"Soon. We will catch that monster when her guard is down. Please have some patience, Rei."
Okay there you have it. I hope you enjoyed it. I'm going to start mapping out the next chapter soon hopefully it will reach you sooner than this chapter did. I hope you enjoyed it and please drop me a review if you have the time. Also, if you have any idea for this at all, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. I could really do with some help. Well, bye for now.
