"Yushi, dear. A letter came for you today."
The King of the Ohtori clan lifted his head from his desk. Dark eyes stared past a tiny light on his desk as his wife entered his study. He noticed a long, white envelope in her hand and a sinking feeling soured his stomach.
"A letter? From who?"
"I don't know. There's no return address. But the handwriting is in Old English Script."
"That's the second one this week," the man said as his wife laid the letter on his desk. His heart plunged into his gut, though his facial expression remained unchanged.
"Another threat," she asked as he reached for the envelope.
The first letter had been received two days ago. He examined the handwriting and the envelope. Indeed the script was Old English. No doubt the writing inside would match. And the language would be something only used once upon a time by vampires.
"Possibly."
And vampire hunters.
The first note had been more like a warning. 'I know what you are. And I know what your planning.' Yushio waved it off as an empty threat. He'd received many types of threats in his life and in his line of business. But it was the script and language that allowed the note to simmer in the back of his head.
"What does it say, Yushi?"
"Your betrayal will not go unpunished. You will not break your curse. I will see to it." The man's voice trailed off as he noticed a signature at the bottom. Text not found on the previous letter. A name he had not heard in centuries. "This is certainly a threat."
"Maki? I think I remember that name," his wife said.
He knew it too well. He had been a good friend with his eldest son. The two were nearly as inseparable as Kyoya and Haruhi had become. They played together. Learned together. Even chased after women together.
Then one night, an order from the mighty vampire council had been brought to his attention. An order that would destroy a hard earned friendship. He knew the accused were not hunters. They were a peaceful, happy family. But Yushio could not defy a direct order from the council.
It was with great shame that he did his duty. Even greater the shame that his eldest son also had to participate.
"This may be more serious than I thought," he whispered.
"Are you going to tell them?"
He glanced up at his wife. "Them?"
"Our sons?"
Yushio sighed. "This is...delicate, dear. The threats hardly seem plausible."
"Yet Kyoya is so close to breaking this curse." She shook her head adamantly. "It's no coincidence."
One side of his lips quirked upward. "You sound so certain, my wife."
The woman's chest puffed out a little, her hands resting on her hips clenched in fists. "You've never doubted my intuition before."
The man shook his head, allowing himself a single laugh. "And I'm not going to start now, dear." Leaning back in his chair, Yushio sighed. "We will have a family meeting tomorrow night. Please let the boys know."
"I will. But now, it's late. You should come to bed."
"Just another hour," he said. "I want to pester Kyoya when he gets home from his date."
Leaning over, she kissed his cheek and then pushed away from his desk. "Have you ever considered that the young man knows what he's doing?"
"Of course," he said with a growing smile. "He's had lots of practice. But I just can't bring myself to believe that he won't screw it up. Again."
"You're evil, Yushi," his wife called from the hall.
"And you love it!"
There was no argument from the hallway.
