A Fake Vampire, part 2

"I see." The Priest commented after Ren finished the story, Shouyo was away when the incident happened so she couldn't tell the story, "It's the Vampire." He confirmed, "Unfortunately, I don't know how to turned him back to normal." He shook his head in regret.

"Do you have another Cross?" Lyserg asked, "You give one to Shouyo, do you have another for us as well?" he started to look anxious.

The Priest nodded, he opened his drawer and take out 6 Cross, "I will give you these, I hope that if you place this Cross on your friend's neck then he can be turned to normal, I hope." He said sadly, "If you can't maybe there's no other way except to kill him, but I hope you can turned him back to normal and leave this place".

Lyserg looked sad, "I hope we can turned him back." He said softly and wear the necklace, the others also wear it, but Luna chose to pocketed it.

"Do you think garlic is work?" Ren asked seriously, he take out a few garlic from his pocket.

How the hell Ren has something like that? Shouyo sweat-dropped, Then again, that kind of stuff won't work, in fact, both I and Mai loves Garlic Bread so much. She sighed, "Let's get rest first, it's late." She said tiredly, it's not her body that tired, but her mind, she can't figure out who is the Vampire and why is he not show up yet? Normally Vampire, rogue Vampires, they would attack paople with strong aura, like Anna and Lyserg and Ren, he didn't sense strong aura from Ryu before, maybe after this since Shaman's furyoku can be multiplied by experiencing near death experience.

"You can rest in the church if you want." The Priest kindly offered, they all nodded without complain, so he lead them to the dormitory, "This is dormitory for those that don't have home, you can use this room, it's large enough or 3 people in one room".

Shouyo bowed when the Priest left, "Let's get sleep, we need energy to move after all." She said cheerfully and entered the first room, Ren and Horo Horo followed, Manta and Lyserg get in to the next room, Anna, Keiko and Luna in the room across from Shouyo's room.

Lyserg can't sleep, even with the others already fast asleep, he can't, his mind still going on about Ryu. He never thought about it before, but during the time they traveled together, Lyserg has a feeling towards Ryu, so knowing that Ryu is in that condition make him unable to sleep. Sighing, Lyserg get out off his bed and get dressed, he want to check on Ryu, he hoped that Ryu will be back to normal when he arrived.

When he arrived at the place they left Ryu though, Ryu already out of the ice block and lying on the floor, beside him is a tall man with spiky grey hair and dark grey eyes. Lyserg gasped at the sight, the man has canines, "Who are you?!" he yelled in alarm, a second later, the man bite him on his neck, he screamed in pain and only vaguely aware that his body move on it's own.

"Lyserg!" Shouyo and the rest rushed to the place they heard Lyserg's scream, Manta, Ren, Horo Horo, and Shouyo weren't sleep so Manta noticed that Lyserg had gone somewhere. Manta isn't a Shaman and can't fight, so he stayed at the dormitory. They get dressed as soon as they can and followed after the green haired boy, but when they are just outside the theater, Lyserg screamed. And here they see a man bite Lyserg's neck, Lyserg went limp and fell on the floor.

"Who are you?!" Ren yelled as he formed his Oversoul with Bason and attacked the man immediately, Horo Horo also formed his Oversoul with Kororo.

The man disappeared right when Ren's Oversoul touch him and reappeared far from them, Shouyo's eyes widened, that kind of move is really similar with Vampire's move, not to mentioned that the man wearing Dracula outfit liko those in movie. Shouyo shook her head and get down to Lyserg's side, inspecting him, the boy's skin pale and two small hole on his neck tell him that Lyserg had been bitten by the Vampire.

But is he really a Vampire? Shouyo can't help but wondering, as the Young Leader, it's a must for him, no, for all Vampire, to know the color of every Clan's eyes. Just like Fuyu with rose blue eyes and Natsu with red eyes, Haru Clan has Silver eye color while Aki has golden white eye color, but the Vampire's eyes is dark grey, it's not the color of any Clan. Even rogue Vampire, when a Vampire become a rogue, their eyes will has black at the edge of their eyes, so this one isn't a rogue either.

"I'm Boris Tepes Dracula." The man said coldly, no, he is not from any Leader's bloodline either, even his name make it clear that he is not from any Clan, "I came here under Hao-sama's order to kill you all and send Keiko-sama back to Japan".

"You are Hao's follower?!" Shouyo asked in surprise, Boris's eyes narrowed, in a flash he get in front of her and, due to drown by her own thought, she didn't notice that Lyserg behind her until the green haired boy grabbed him.

During this chaos, Ryu awakened and gasped when he saw the situation Shouyo is in, "Yo-chan!" he yelled in shock and make his Oversoul.

"Normal human like you are what I hate the most." Boris said coldly, then turned to face the three boys, "If you move, she will turned into a Vampire in my control." And to prove his point, he moved so that they can see Lyserg has his canines merely an inch from Shouyo's shoulder. They tensed, and then many bat appeared, each carrying a short spike, "This is why I hate you human, your feeling towards another make you weak".

Shouyo didn't listen to him and touched Boris's cloak lightly, she brought her finger to her eyes and smiled, the man certainly is a human, or Shaman to be precise. I don't know what his Guardian Spirit is but the medium certainly is blood, and if Lyserg bite me, Boris will make his Spirit to possessed my body through my blood. Shouyo sighed in relief and her expression calm, but also filled with confident, "What will you do? Stay still and get killed so she won't turned into a Vampire, or ignore her and save yourself?" Boris asked with cold voice again.

Shouyo can see that the three boys feel torn between the choices, "Guys." She called her friends, she smiled at them, "Don't worry about me, I will be alright." She said and pushed Lyserg's head so that his fangs entered his skin.

"Yo-chan!" Horo Horo yelled in shock and disbelief when Shouyo fell to the floor with Lyserg.

"You brat!" Boris spat and snapped his fingers, the bats dropped their short spears.

Ren, Ryu and Horo Horo destroyed them all, then turned to face him, "Now, what will you do?" Ren asked angrily, he angry because they are saved thanks to Shouyo by sacrificing herself, the three of them slowly stepped forward to him with grim expression.

Boris growled, "Fine, girl, kill them all!" he ordered Shouyo, again make the three Shaman froze at their spot.

Shouyo stood up with her face lowered, Ren and the others tensed even more when Shouyo lift one hand, but then she looked up at them with a big grin and her hand make a peace gesture, "Yo, guys!" she yelled cheerfully.

Boris gaped, "How, how come?!" he yelled in shock, "You shouldn't be awake and under Bramuro's control!" he take a step back.

Shouyo turned to face him and smiled, "I see, so your Spirit name is Bramuro." She said calmly, she then pointed behind her where they can see Amidamaru holding a human spirit with grey skin color, "I got his help. I found out that you are not a Vampire and a Shaman easily, and you use blood as your medium, that's why I know you will make your Spirit to possessed me after Lyserg bite me." She explained calmly, "Amidamaru had been following us since the start and without you notice, I let him entered my body, even they didn't notice Amidamaru".

Ren smirked, "You really give us a heart attack, you know?" he commented as he dissolved his Oversoul, "But is it alright? I know you were a Shaman in the past, but you lost your power, right?".

"Yeah, Yo-chan!" Horo Horo shout in anger, "You are not used with Shamanic ability, what if you can't move because of this?!".

Shouyo laughed cheerfully, "Well, remember that Anna make me undergo her training too? Even though I chose for myself what training I will do, but with her training, my body get stronger, this kind of level won't make my body shut down, only sore the next day." She explained cheerfully, then she turned to look at Boris, "I will let you go, but-" her words cut off by her gasped when all of the sudden a sword went through Boris's body, "Boris!".

Boris fell down to the floor and they can see Marco and the other X-Laws stand behind him, an Angel Oversoul stand beside him carrying a glowing sword in it's hand, "As I thought, you all siding with Hao, or else why you would let him go?" Marco asked with superior tone, "We, X-laws will punish you for your sin, die in the Angel Michael's sword".

Shouyo growled, "Mighty Air Around Me, Listen To My Voice." She whispered softly so that they can't hear her, "The names are Ren, Horo Horo, Ryu, Lyserg, Anna, Keiko, Manta, Luna, Shouyo, Boris and their Spirits." She inhaled deeply and let wind swirling around them.

"W, what with this wind?" Ryu asked nervously.

"Location is Mesa Veldede." Shouyo continued to whisper to the air, "Teleport!" she shout with command at the same time as Michael lifted it's sword.

"What?!" Marco gasped when the wind spinning faster suddenly, the wind forced Marco and the other X-Laws to shut their eyes closed and when the wind died and they their eyes again, all of them already disappeared, "What in the world was that?".
