A preview for Fang 2…a Flashback Scene…
"Kyoichi!" Keiko called to her blood soaked son. He didn't move. He was panting, breathing hard, his entire body covered in blood and his eyes wide open. His right eye was glowing with an almost ominous glow. "Kyoichi!" He turned to look towards her. She couldn't take it anymore. She removed her coat, ran towards him and placed the coat over his body and hugged him. "It's going to be okay, baby. Everything is going to be okay…"
"The girls are fine," said Ichiro to his wife. "I can't say the same for the kidnapper though." Ichiro had seen what was left of the kidnapper, a Huntsclan member, and there was barely enough intact pieces to even identify him.
"What happened? Why did he take the children?" Keiko asked as she attempted to comfort her youngest son. He was in shock. He was only 6 years old and now…now this.
"Must've been for bait to lure us. We are a rare breed. Maybe he wanted to hunt us and mount us on his wall."
Keiko narrowed her eyes. She wanted to curse the Huntsclan member. "But, what will happen to the children now?"
"They shouldn't remember this. For their young minds this is too much." Ichiro removed his glasses.
"You're not thinking of…erasing their memories, are you?" Keiko asked.
"It's for their own good. The trauma of this event could haunt them forever. I'm just trying to help them," Ichiro reasoned.
Keiko looked to her son and placed a hand on his right eye. The seal had been weakened and must've triggered his powers, which killed the Huntsclan member. She closed her eyes and repaired the seal. The Eye of Mephisto blocked her son from ever accessing his powerful magical energy. It was too much for a child his age, too much for him to control until he was older. She hugged her child, staining her clothes with blood, as she ran her hand through his hair.
Her husband went to the scared young girls and he looked them in the eye with his own glowing ones. Their eyes glowed too as he started his work on erasing their memories. With a snap of his fingers the three girls fell asleep. "Their parents are worried. Immensely worried."
"I'd be worried too," said Keiko. "Now, are you sure you're going to erase our son's memory of this?"
"We did the same for Ichijyo…we have to so they won't be traumatized by this." He went over and kneeled down. He placed his palm gently to the back of his son's head and focused. He found the memories. He saw what his son had done. A part of him was proud that his son could be so brutal, so precise and yet…so uncontrolled. His powers had awakened. His vampiric powers…he saw his son turn into mist and strike the kidnapper with his claws from every angle. And then…he saw his son rip the man apart and drink his blood. His son's vampire side was feral…wild…like a beast…
His son was a damphir…half vampire, and unable to control the instincts…
Ichiro closed his eyes. He was forced to do this. If he didn't then his son would be plagued by nightmares. He was only four years old. He was too young for this…far too young.
The memories were removed and Kyoichiro fell asleep in his mother's arms. She cradled him in her arms as she carried him. The girls were floating within dark energy orbs rolling behind Ichiro.
"Let's go," Ichiro said and Keiko nodded. They all teleported from the spot.
