Here is the first part of Chapter 7~ Dozou~Chapter 7 [Part 1]
[/size]
Day… Month… Year…I met my father again. He hasn’t changed at all. I don’t remember how many times my heart break apart because of his cruel words. I hate him so much that he turned me into this monster form and kept abusing me with it. If he hates me that much, why hasn’t he killed me already?
After that night, I locked myself in my room. This time, he didn’t just abuse me again with the fact that I’m a mistake. He abused me because Rena was with me. And what’s more? I was so weak against him that Rena had to save me. I didn’t know how she did that but Father seemed to be scared of her… No… he seemed to be surprised rather than scared. I bet he had seen something in Rena. I bet he also thought that Rena is different. She isn’t araid of vampires. She hates vampires but she’s willing to give her blood to me. I’ve never met a hunter or a human like her before. And you know what? The feeling I have for her is growing bigger. I mean, we’ve changed from aquaintances into friends. Well, it’s just because she doesn’t seem to hate me so much. When we were on a mission together, she would turn back to a cold hunter, killing the degenerated vampires with no mercy. But when she was with me and others in the clan, she would be a kind and nice girl. Bipolar much?
But yet I still have that thought. I still think that I’ve met Rena before, or at least someone looks like her. But why can’t I remember anything?
Is this… some kinds of bad luck?
#################################################Rena's POVAfter the first time I let Jurina drink my blood, everything had changed between us. Jurina stopped being so cold toward me and became my new friend. Well, I really didn’t mind to have another vampires friend when I’d already had three. It was nice to have vampires as your ally in this war, you know. They gave us their power to fight the other vampires and protect us from danger. Thank to them, I’ve changed my thought about vampires.
Not every vampire was bad. There were some good vampires like the four of them.
In the past few weeks, we were fighting against some small group of vampires that we thought they were from the other clan. Usually, we went in pairs or in a group of four in a mission. And most of the time, there would be at least one vampire in the group. Sometimes, our ally vampires were too busy with other missions so they couldn’t join us. The four of us hunters had to work alone. Seeing that coming, Mayu and Minami gave us their power, which was their blood. Each of us received a small bottle containing their pure blood. Mayu said if we drank half of the bottle, we would get the strength of a full-blood vampire in 30 minutes. With this new power, we wouldn’t fear any vampires and could fight along with them.
Although, they only gave us enough blood for a mission when there was one. I didn’t know the details but they said that if we drank their blood too much, we would get killed from the inside by those vampire syndrome. Well, I really thought we should listen to them.
Anyways, after a few weeks working together, we finally made a big step in our plan to save the human world. We had found one of the main bases of our enemy. Somehow, Minami found the base hidden in the deep wood outside Kyoto on a work trip she went with Mayu. So that was why the whole team gathered altogether in the white mansion once again to have a secret meeting after school. Even though we were all tired after a long day at school but safety of the humankind must come first.
“Sorry for this sudden summon.” Minami bowed at us when she saw Atsuko’s tired face. “But I have to call for a meeting because it’s an emergency.”
“It’s fi-...ne” Atsuko covered her mouth with her hand and let out a small yawn. “I just need some rest after this...” She said then sat down on the couch in the living room. “Man, that test was just too hard!!!”
“You should stop reading magazines and concentrate more on your study so you wouldn’t sit here and complain about the test.” Yuki chuckled and took a seat on the couch opposite Atsuko, followed by Mayu who immediately leaned in for a tight cuddle.
“Said who was talking on the phone with her lovely girlfriend all night long!” Atsuko hissed.
“Hey! At least I still could do the test!”
“OK you two, stop the nonsense argument already! We all know you’re the genius-idiot couple so no need for reminding us.” Seeing enough, Mayu decided to stop the two girls successfully. Yuki placed her head on Mayu’s and cuddled her while Atsuko just leaned back on the couch, sleepy resting her head on the soft smooth furniture.
We looked at the scene and giggled quietly. Then, we all settled down on our comfortable seats. Minami and Kanon sat beside Atsuko while I sat next to Yuki. Only Kumi and Jurina were standing next to the couch and enjoyed their own conversation. I was staring at the short-hair vampire smiling and laughing unconsciously before Minami took my attention back to her by coughing.
“Let’s make this quick and we all can rest, shall we?” Minami began the meeting. At the same time, both Mayu and Yuki sat up properly but their hands were still interwound.
“As all you have heard, I and Mayu have found a secret base of the enemy in Kyoto. From our scout, it’s actually an armory so we can make a big damage on the old man if we manage to destroy that base.”
“OK, what’s the plan then?” Atsuko asked.
“We’re going to have a 3-week break due to the maintenance of our campus so we’ll go to Kyoto next week. The best way to finish this quickly and safely is to snipe. Mayu and Yuki is working on inventing a bomb for this mission. The plan will be explained in more details when we arrive in Kyoto and the bomb is ready. Any questions?” Minami finished her speech and looked at us to wait for a question. The silence remained so the midget decided to end the meeting here. “OK, the meeting is done. Now you can go home and rest.”
“Yatta! Finally!” Atsuno threw her arms up before leaned on the midget and slept soundly on her shoulder.
“O-Oi! What are you doing?!? Go home and sleep on your bed, not on me!” Minami said, tried to remove the sleepy girl on her shoulder without success.
“Don’t waste your engery, Takamina.” Yuki gigled. “She will never wake up until she’s satisfied. I think you have to let her sleep here for tonight.”
“Haiz... Fine...” Minami sighed in defeat then gestured Jurina to help her. The young vampire nodded and carried Atsuko in bridal style to the upstairs. Somehow, I felt uncomfortable and angry at the sight... Wait... Was that jealousy?...
“I’m going to stay here with Mayu. We need to finish the bomb soon anyway.” Yuki said and followed Mayu to the basement.
“OK then, I and Kanon is going home now.”
“Wait, Rena. It’s quite late now so you two can stay here.” Minami stopped us.
“No, it’s fine. I have things to do at home. And I don’t want to bother you guys anyway.”
“OK then, I’m not holding you back anymore. But let Kuumi take you home. It’s quite dangerous outside.”
“Hmm...” I hesitated at the offer. But when I glanced at my cousin, she was smiling happily at the mentioned vampire. It was the first time I saw my cousin be so friendly and happy toward someone after many years. In this case, it was a vampire, a creature that she hated so much. Well, I guess humans can change that much, can’t we? “OK... If Kuumi doesn’t mind...”
“Of course not.” Minami smiled and looked at Kuumi in process. “Right, Kuumi?”
“Yes. I don’t mind at all. Let me take you ladies home safe and sound.” Kuumi smiled and took Kanon’s hand before both of them walked home, leaving me behind.
“OK... I’m going home now. See you later, Takamina.” I let out a small sigh and said to Minami.
“See you, Rena.”
I took a final glance at the house, hoping the voice that I wanted to hear but never came appeared. Didn’t want Minami to see me right now, I silently walked away and followed the two baka girls. The war was coming. Soon or later, we would face the pain and tragedy of this war. We all knew about it beforehand but still, It was hard to bear it, wasn’t it?
“You should be honest to yourself more, Rena. Or else, you would lose everything.”
Suddenly, a voice said from my back and startled me. I immediately turned around to see who said that but I just found the figure of the white mansion brightening in the darkness. Until now, I still don’t know who said that. But I just know one thing, that the mysterious voice at that night was right.
The second part will be updated tomorrow. Sory about this cuz I just found a new idea that could use into this chapter to make it more interesting. So... PLease be patient and comment what you feel about this chapter~ Arigatou!
