Chapter 2-
Ran looked at
Aya as she stared at their familys home. Her eyes were wide as
she opened the iron gate. He could clearly see her amazement as she
went up the cement walkway. He, himself, could vividly remember their
mother working in the garden while he blew bubbles for Aya to chase.
He heard Ayas steps on the porch and inhaled sharply. "Are
you sure you want to stay here?" he asked quietly.
Aya turned to
him with a worried expression. "Are you okay?" she asked in
the same tone. When he didnt answer, she left the door and went
to his side. "Youre remembering what happened, arent you?"
"I
cant forget," he said simply.
Both siblings
turned to the street as a sleek roadster pulled up to their house.
Ran protectively stepped in front of Aya as a tall blonde male got
out of the car. Violet eyes narrowed as the stranger easily
approached them. "Who are you?" Ran asked.
The blonde
looked at the redhead through dark sunglasses. He would know that
scowl anywhere. Shiori gave it to him constantly. "Im the
executor of this estate. Who are you?" he asked in his usual
suave nature. His smile soon turned into a look of amazement when he
saw innocent indigo eyes look over her brothers arm.
Aya looked at
the stunned man and stepped from behind Ran. "You must be Mr.
Kudoh," she said politely. When Ran looked at her, she smiled.
"I told you about him," she said softly. "Hes an
old friend of Mamas and hes been looking after the house
and our familys finances."
Rans
frown deepened as he turned critical eyes to the blonde. "I
would think that any friends of Mothers would be older,"
he said barely keeping the growl out of his voice.
Kudoh cleared
his throat and adjusted his glasses. "Actually, my uncle and
Shiori were close. Since I met her a few times, I took my uncles
place," he said easily. He saw the way Rans glare
hardened and removed his sunglasses. "Im Yohji Kudoh."
Rans
entire body froze as he looked into deep green eyes. He could see the
same face from years back... only the stranger had short corn yellow
hair, not the long honey blonde locks that were in front of him. Ran
could remember the same smooth voice laughing carelessly with his
mother and fought not to tremble.
Aya caught a
glimpse of the catatonic state her brother was in and stepped around
him. "Im Aya, and this is Ran," she said politely.
She shook his hand and cleared her throat when Ran still hadnt
moved. "I hope it wont be too much of a bother. Us coming
back to Tokyo, I mean."
Yohji waved
his hand dismissively. "Think nothing of it. Shiori would be
happy to see you both back where you belong."
Something
about that statement struck Ran as odd. He blinked at Aya as she
easily guided Yohji to the front door. "How would you know where
we belong?" he asked rudely.
Both Aya and
Yohji looked at him. Yohji looked from Aya to Ran and mused. Aya
inherited Shioris innocence, while Ran seemed to embrace her
temper. "Shiori would want her children to live in their
rightful home," he said with a shrug.
Aya glared at
Ran for a moment. "Mr. Kudoh, I dont know whats
gotten into my brother. Please accept my apologies."
Yohji smiled
and kissed her hand. "Call me Yohji. And theres no need to
apologize." He handed her the keys to the house and moved away
from her. "In all honesty, I should be apologizing to you. I
cant stay to show you around. I own a club downtown, and
were in the middle of a minor crisis."
Aya smiled as
Yohji pulled out his wallet and gave her a business card. As she read
the name of the club, her expression faltered a bit. "Garu?
Thats a rather unusual name."
Yohji shrugged
carelessly. "My partners a rather unusual man," he
countered. When Aya looked at him, he smiled charmingly. "Feel
free to come by at any time."
Indigo eyes
ignored the glare Ran was giving her and Yohji. Something about the
blonde, and the German name of the club bothered her. "Im
sure we will," she said with a pleasant smile.
The siblings
watched each other as Yohji moved away from Aya. Ran couldnt
explain the odd feelings that were going through him as the blonde
brushed past him. His jaw tightened and eyes narrowed as he recalled
the name of his mothers friend. "Yotan," he said lowly.
Yohji paused.
He didnt expect Ran to remember him. He covered his eyes with
this glasses again and looked at the redhead. As eyes the color of
amethyst glared at him, he smiled. "That was my uncles
nickname," he lied easily. When Rans frown deepened, he
didnt waver from his relaxed stance. "You know, youd
be great at the club. You wouldnt be looking for a job by any
chance, would you?"
"No,"
Ran growled.
"Ran,"
Aya hissed as she approached him. She stepped around him and looked
at Yohji. "Again, Im sorry. I dont know whats
gotten into my brother."
"Dont
apologize for me," Ran said hotly.
Yohji looked
at the pair, knowing that things were going to become very
interesting. "Dont worry about it Aya-chan. Therell
be a day when Ran will apologize to me all on his own," he said
looking directly into violet eyes.
Ran scoffed
and went to the house. "Hell will freeze first," he said
over his shoulder.
Aya was about
to scold him again when she felt a strong hand on her arm. "I
think he likes me," Yohji said in a slightly awed tone. He then
winked at her and smiled. "Famous last words Ran," he
called out. When Ran turned to glare at him again, he nodded at Aya
and went to his car.
"I
dont believe you," Aya said as she went to where Ran was
standing. As he looked at her she shook her head and sighed.
"Yohji is simply an old friend trying to help us out."
"I
dont believe that for a second," Ran countered as he
snatched the keys out of Ayas hand. Before she could protest,
he had the door open and was inside of their familys home.
"Theres something about him I dont trust."
Aya watched
him as he took off his shoes and went deeper inside. She had never
seen him react so strongly to anyone. The young woman inhaled slowly,
bracing herself for what could be a rather nasty shouting match.
"Something about Yohji, or about yourself?" she asked quietly.
And right on
cue, chips of amethyst glared at her. "What?" Ran growled.
While
normally, Rans tone would scare her, something inside was
giving her the strength to continue. "I have never seen someone
get you this riled up in such a short amount of time. Maybe hes
right and you do like him." At her brothers scoff, Aya
frowned and followed him down the hall. "It is possible Ran.
Youre only human."
He quickly
turned on her. "No Im not," he said clearly.
"Im a monster Aya. I cannot love, or be loved in
return." His eyes took in the way she glared at him and his jaw tighten.
"What
about me Ran?" she asked as tears filled her eyes. "I trust
you. I love you. What does that make me?"
The answer
spilled out before he could stop it. "A damnable fool." His
eyes widened as he heard his voice. Never in Ayas entire life
had he even thought of something so cruel. It didnt take him by
surprise when her hand connected with his face.
Aya roughly
wiped the tears out of her eyes and glared at him. "If I am such
a fool, Im sorry for unconvincing you," she snapped before
turning and walking back to the door.
"Aya,"
Ran called as he moved to go after her. Just as she reached the
door, he grabbed her arm and turned her to face him. "Aya, listen...."
She pulled her
arm out of his grasp and glared at him. "No, you
listen," she said in a hiss. "You are my older brother. We
are all we have left. Theres no one else Ran. So, please
forgive me if I think that you have a right to be happy."
He lowered his
head and took a slow breath. "I dont think I have that
right," he said in a whisper.
Aya looked at
him and wiped her eyes. She could tell this wasnt a
conversation he wanted to have. The way his shoulders slumped told it
all. There was also the way he hid his face by using the shadows of
his hair. She sighed and looked at her watch. "You have to
report in soon," she said, changing the subject. When he looked
at her, she painted a smile on her face. "Lets just get my
things, and then you can go."
"I
dont know Aya," he blurted out. He averted his eyes to the
side when he caught a glimpse of her confused expression. "I
dont know about love. I know possession. Youre mine, and
Id kill anyone that would try to take you away from me."
She reached
out and touched the cheek she had slapped. "You dont have
to explain yourself to me Ran." She moved away from him and
started for the car they rented.
Ran could only
watch her as she easily climbed across the passenger seat and popped
the trunk open. She always amazed him. She took care of him when he
wouldnt. When the children of the orphanage would back away
from him in fear, she would ease everyones fears. Part of him
hated the thought of someone as caring and selfless as his sister
leaving the church. But his possessive side was thrilled that she
still wanted to be near him.
The Vampir was
brought out of his thoughts by Ayas laugh. As he looked at his
sister, he saw her talking with a young man. From a distance, he
could see messy chocolate colored hair, a lean athletic build, and a
genuinely friendly smile on the stranger. Violet eyes narrowed as he
looked at the man. Something was off. The Hunter in Ran couldnt
deny it. The stranger stood completely relaxed with a large dog at
his knee. From the shape of his legs alone, Ran would say that he was
either a track runner, or s soccer player.
Aya laughed as
she looked over at her brother. A sigh escaped her as she recognized
the assessing look Ran wore. "My brothers a little over-protective.
But a good guy when you get to know him," she said quietly. She
then turned to Ran as he stalked over to her. "Ran, this is Ken
Hidaka. He lives right across the street."
Ran looked
into large coffee colored eyes. "This isnt across the
street," he said coldly.
Kens
smile faltered a bit. "Yeah, I know. But Siberian and I were
just coming back from our run and saw Aya," he explained. His
eyes glanced at the suitcase the young woman had been trying to get
out of the car. "I stopped by to help." Before either
Fujimiya could say anything, he easily pulled out the piece of luggage.
Aya smiled
happily and gently nudged Ran when he started to growl. "Thank
you so much," she said to Ken. She looked at Ran and frowned.
"Be nice," she hissed.
Ran frowned at
her before going to pull out Ayas other two suitcases. As he
placed them on the sidewalk, he glared at Ken. "Thank you, but
youre not needed."
Aya shook her
head in disbelief. She was used to Ran being cold towards people, but
she had never seen him so rude. "Actually, since you have to
work, and I dont know where too much of anything is, I was
thinking that maybe he could show me around."
Ken looked at
the siblings and inhaled when he saw the glaring match they were
having. He turned his eyes to the Husky at his feet and shrugged.
Finally, Ran
growled and gave Aya a wad of yen. "Be careful," he said
before getting into the car.
Aya could only
giggle as Ran sped off. She looked at Kens wide eyes and
shrugged. "Like I said, he can be over-protective."
"Over-protective?"
Ken echoed. "He seemed like hes two steps from locking
you in a dragon guarded tower."
"Dont
give him any ideas, please," she laughed. She then grabbed two
of the lighter bags and started for the house.
Ken smiled as
he watched Aya go up to the house. He looked at his dog and mused.
"Yohji and Schu did say theyd be interesting,"
he said grabbing the last suitcase.
@--->---
Ran let out a
sigh as he pulled up to the cemetery his new team was based out of.
His eyes caught a glimpse of the woman that was now his superior and
frowned. She was a small voluptuous redhead that stood just outside
of the house on the main grounds. Ran got out of the car and made his
way over to her.
She allowed a
small smile to cross her face. "Good evening Ran," she said
ignoring the cold look he was giving her. "I take it Aya is
settled in."
"Shes
fine," Ran said simply. He didnt want to think about Aya.
He never did before a hunt. She was too much of an innocent to be
tainted with his work. Ran turned his attention to the woman in front
of him. "Youre Manx?"
Viridian eyes
glittered as she nodded. "Yes, I am. The rest of your team, as
well as contacts are inside." She motioned for him to follow
her, and turned to the large house. "We were never told of your
living arrangements. Will you be staying here or with your sister?"
"Heres
fine," Ran stated as he started for the place that would be his
new residence. He could feel mildly curious eyes on his back as he
easily walked inside.
Manx came up
behind him as the entire front room paused. Inside were two women and
five men. "Everyone," Manx started as she moved around Ran.
"This is our newest member, Ran Fujimiya. Abyssinian."
Violet eyes
looked across the room and saw a number of raised eyebrows and
frowns. His attention was caught by a man with cinnamon colored hair,
and teal eyes. "What?" he asked, barely keeping the growl
out of his voice.
He shrugged as
he looked directly into violet eyes. "Ive heard stories
about you," he said simply. "I thought you would be bigger."
One of the
women frowned openly. "Shut up Yuushi," she said standing.
She looked at Ran with deep blue eyes and bowed her head. "Hello
Ran. Im known as Queen. Youll be under my direct command."
Ran nodded as
he continued to take in the appearance of his new team.
Queen glanced
over her shoulder, to the man with short blue hair. "From left
to right, we have Botan and Birman. With Manx, they give us our
information and keep the lines to Kritiker open. Next we have Masato,
Ryuichi and Naru. Dont let Narus age fool you. He was
raised by Kritiker, and is an excellent Hunter."
"As long
as it doesnt interfere with my classes," the orange haired
teen said happily.
Queen sighed
as she shook her head. "Naru is also taking classes at Tokyo
U.," she added dryly. "And finally, we have Yuushi."
Teal eyes
sparkled as Yuushi folded his arms over his chest. "So, now that
were all introduced," he said, still never taking his eyes
off of Ran. "How many of those stories are true?"
"What
stories have you heard?" Ran asked in turn.
"That
most of the teams youve worked with would rather have killed you."
"Knight,
that was uncalled for," Ryuichi scolded. He adjusted his glasses
before looking at Ran with knowing green eyes. "You dont
have to tell us about that. The Crashers unit is more open than most
of the other teams Kritiker has. We welcome your addition."
Ran nodded as
he looked Ryuichi over. He was lean, with an almost lanky build. But
from the neat business like appearance he wore, and by the way he
spoke, he was the teams tactician. Ran glanced at his side and
saw Manx nod. "Which way is my room?" he asked.
Naru nearly
jumped to his feet. "I can show you. Its right across from mine."
Manx fought a
smile as Ran followed the eighteen year old out of the room. Out of
everyone in the room, she knew Naru would be the safest. He seemed to
have the same pure and innocent heart that Aya did, and that would
protect him from the strange half-breed. "Despite what you may
think of his attitude, he is good," she said to the others.
"If
hes so good, why keep moving him around? Why not make him a
solo operative?" Masato asked as he lit a cigarette.
"Ran
Fujimiya is dangerous. If left to his own devices, there would come a
time when you all would have to hunt him," Manx confessed.
Botan looked
at the three confused faces and cleared his throat. "Lets
just say, were keeping an enemy closer."
