As we entered his office, Father
Izawa motioned to a chair and I sat. He didn�t say a word, as he sat behind his
desk. For a moment he simply stared at its clear surface. The tension was back.
I wanted to scream at him to say something, to tell me what was going on, and
why Shido wasn�t back yet. The silence continued.

�He opened his mouth once, as if about to
speak, but then closed it again & continued to stare at his desk. I was
starting to get scared. After a while I began to wonder if he hadn�t forgotten
I was there.

�� I leaned
forward quietly, placing my fingertips on the edge of the desk. �Father?�

�� He looked
up at me. His jaw dropped a little as he saw my face and a sadness grew in his
eyes � and, was that . . . fear creeping in at his brows? He stood quickly and
turned away from me. In that moment I did pray to whatever power might care
about my life. (Please, let Shido be unharmed! Please!)

When the Father had composed
himself, he turned back to me. �Riho, I�m sorry if I�ve caused you to be anxious.
You�re friend � Mikao, you called him? He was on his way to warn us ��

�� Warn us?! About what? What�s going on in Kyoto?�
Then I remembered. �Shido!� I gasped. I was on my feet
in an instant.

�� No, no!
Calm down now, child. As far as we know, Shido�s just fine. But, Mikao . . .
he�s passed on now.�

�� I was
overcome by emotions pulling me in different directions. I fell back into the
chair as I simply stared. Shido � Shido was alright. I could
have cried, I was so relieved. But then, Mikao . . . When you�re
immortal for all intents and purposes, the thought of a friend�s death is just
as indescribable as it is unexpected. It leaves a hole in you; and it�s all you
can do to not let fear or anger fill that hole and swallow you, just as they
were swallowed by death. I knew the Father wasn�t wrong about Mikao. We�d seen
too many vampires killed over the past few decades, for him to make a mistake.

�� Father
Izawa came and knelt beside me. �He was attacked outside Tokyo.
It was a miracle he made it this far. He should have died long before he did
with the amount of silver in his system.�

�� I had
become cold � unable to feel pain or sorrow or fear. I simply listened to the
words, my eyes focusing on one spot but not seeing, as the old man took my
hand.

�Don�t think he died in vain,
child! I�m sure his time had come. He gave so much to make it this far.

�There have been troubles in the
south of late. I should have told you.�

The unattainable thought from
before twitched.

�Kyoto�s
been under attack not by average Breeds, but by vampires.�

Twitch.

�I�m sorry, Riho. I shouldn�t have
promised Shido I�d keep this from you.�

Tw-Twitch.

�He came to me and explained. He
said he had to go, and immediately ��

Twitch!

��and that I was to know where you were
at all times until he returned.�

Twi-Twitch!!

�Then Mikao
showed up today. He came to just before he left us. He said that Shido had sent
him to keep you safe. At least that�s all we could make out � there was so much
silver, & so much blood taken ��

�What?� I was shaken out of my
stupor. �Who took it?� I jumped up. My breath came hard and with� difficulty.

�W-we d-don�t know.� The Father
stood and quickly backed toward his desk, staring at me. I thought of the neck
wound. It seemed unnatural � cannibalistic and skewed. Something felt very
wrong. The nagging twitch of a thought was almost throbbing now. But it still
wouldn�t come. It caused an anxiety which threatened to break through my
paralyzed state.

Father Izawa had backed around his
desk, his widened eyes never leaving me. He ran for the door, and burst out,
leaving it open.

�I was still preoccupied. My eyes were again
trained on one spot. Only this time, I wasn�t cold. I was raging with energy. Pulsing. Throbbing. It was
building, collecting inside me, inside that hole left by Mikao�s death.

The door slowly closed. The room
grew dark. Everything slowed. Pulsing. Darkness. Throbbing. Something . .
. � forced breath � there . . .��

�� A steady
hand came to rest gently between my tense, trembling shoulder blades. A deep,
velvety voice spoke softly, calmly in my ear. �He hasn�t taught you how to deal
with this kind of power surge, has he?�

�� Warm. Caressing. Dangerous. I knew this
voice.

�� Twitch.

�� Don�t get
worked up over me. You�ll strain yourself if you don�t calm down.� I felt some
of the energy leave me. �That�s right. Trust me; I can help you.� I slowly let
my shoulders sag, dropping bit by bit. �You belong to a gifted race. This power
is your right. You must learn how to use it.� The voice soothingly crooned in
my ear.

�� There was
another hand on the back my neck. It caressed my skin; soothed the tension in
me. I felt more energy draining out through those strong, satin fingers, as my
head fell gradually forward.

�� I was
lowered back into the chair, drained now of that paralyzing tension. It
occurred to me to wonder what was going on. I was still surrounded by complete
darkness. And the presence from before had returned, although it didn�t inspire
the anxiety it had before. It was so familiar, yet � distant, unrecognizable.
It hadn�t been Izawa before; it was . . .

�� Cain!
