Chapter six:
Kaoru steps out onto an empty street after exiting an alley he was dropped off in. He glances back as Josephine speaks.
"Remember that we will be here for you. Even if you don't even notice us. We'll be keeping others away from your first hunt. Don't worry. Once you lock onto a target your new instincts will take over especially for this first night." Josephine assures Kaoru who gives her a thumbs up then she disappears so quickly.
Kaoru turns away and begins walking as he looks around. He takes a breath through his nose only for him to pause. He can pick up a new stronger mix of scents that almost overwhelm his senses at first. He finds that the smells are chaotic and he can't pick out one scent from another. He knows that it gets easier with time and almost rolls his eyes at his brain reminding him that if he thinks this is strong then he should feel sorry for the werewolves.
Werewolves apparently have it way worse in some departments. Their sense of smell can pick out scents from distances that not even vampires can. So they must have even worse chaos of scents than what Kaoru is experiencing currently.
Kaoru turns as he hears a loud laugh that almost sounds taunting. He notices a man stomp out a cigarette while a possible prostitute adjusts her dress strap by an alley like she was just used by that man.
The girl looks a little uncomfortable and unhappy with what is happening.
"Happy to do business. I will see you next time if you want your secret kept. I will text you." The man after the lady gives a soft nod of her head.
Kaoru's eyes narrow and he suddenly finds the man surrounded by a red mist. He lets out a quiet growl then he follows after the man trying to not be noticed. He isn't fully sure about what he is doing though he just finds his instincts taking over. He lets it happen remembering the talk with the others that told him to do so. He keeps tailing the man and slightly hears a voice talk to the girl he is leaving behind. He ignores it as he keeps his target in his sights. He swears that he can see a red mist like trail that must be the mans scent, making a path that leads right to said man. He ducks into an alley when the man pauses. He waits as he can still see the trail that will lead him in the right direction.
There is silence for a moment with the scent not getting further away at all. Then it is broken by the man speaking.
"If you wanted a round two darling then you could have just asked!" The man calls out with a chuckle seeming to guess what is going on here.
Kaoru moves out into view and stands so he is staring right at a surprised man.
The man still looks surprised though manages to quickly shake it off to the point of being able to say something. "Heh. I didn't expect you. Though that doesn't matter." He tries to put on a charming smile though Kaoru knows that it isn't anything that will dissuade him in the slightest as he has a want to take this life. "You are a cutie. What's your name? You want to have a good time? I can show you the best time of your life. You can even get something in return." His words send Kaoru over some kind of edge at the reminder of what his parents forced him to do.
Kaoru charges and he tackles the man who doesn't even get a chance to actually react. His vampire instincts lead his fangs to sink into the neck of the man on the ground below him. He hears a slight scream that is cut off though he doesn't even think about anyone else being able to hear. He feels some of the blood touch his tongue as he pierces that neck. His body feels pleasurable like never before. He could swear that fireworks were going off in his body sending pleasure shockwaves! He slurps up the blood in the man's body even long after the man stops moving. He swears that every slurp and swallow of blood is like heaven satiating some sort of feeling deep inside of himself. He only stops when he finds nothing coming out when he tries to suck anything else out. He pulls out his fangs and pulls away opening his eyes that he hadn't realized that he had closed. He feels more of a calm inside of him and he finds himself more aware and caring of what is around him. He raises his head then sniffs the air as something tells him to check for any intruders around him. He lowers his head glad that he doesn't pick up on anything. He feels his body tell him that he needs more blood. He is still hungry. He gets up and closes his eyes inhaling the air to try to find any other scents of another mortal that he can hunt. He picks up on something barely able to be picked up.
A piece of prey further away is better than nothing.
Kaoru opens his eyes following the scent only to slow to a stop as he catches the scent of another vampire. He lets out a growl deep in his throat and he changes paths determined to find this intruder no matter what. He will make them regret stepping foot in this territory. He keeps following the scent until he slows to a pause as he loses it in a mix of other scents. He does his best to wrinkle his nose at the horrible smells that he suddenly picks up. He huffs and turns away to go back to his hunt. He will just have to keep his eyes open for whoever that was. He finds a new target for his hunt and goes after whoever that happens to be. His hunger intensifying as it is loudly demanding to be sated.
Elsewhere…
Hikaru has just gotten all set for bed but still has the lights on currently. He turns as he hears a hesitant knock. "Come in." He allows and hears his parents talk to each other muffled by his closed doors. He tilts his head as he gets the feeling that there is more to this than them being wound up from Kaoru not coming home. He doesn't even want to think of the other right now as all he can recall is watching the other who used to be his brother get all loving to an older stranger.
Finally the mother and father enter Hikaru's room looking worried and a little somber.
Hikaru could swear that he sees guilt in his mothers eyes as she can't even look him in the eye from some kind of guilt or regret. He now is growing even more curious about what in the world has gotten them this way. He doubts that they'd be acting like they did something wrong if it was just that they were worried about Kaoru not having returned.
"Hikaru…" His father lets out a sigh as it seems like his mother can't even speak right now. "There is something that we have to tell you. It won't be easy to hear however circumstances have forced our hand. Plus you're going to have to deflect questions at especially school for awhile."
"What are you talking about? Kaoru probably just ran off after finding some man to slut up to. I saw him go towards a stranger." Hikaru tells them and he blinks as his mother breaks down.
His father lets out a loud sigh after hugging his sobbing wife. "There is more to everything than you may think." He tells Hikaru who looks to him with a surprised and confused look. "Lets sit down so we can explain what is going on. And Hikaru. We both deeply regret what has happened. We understand that we are terrible parents and will understand if you hate us for this when we're done explaining everything."
