Vampiric Dream
Chapter 8
“Does it hurt?”
“You’ve asked me that every day for a month.”
“Well, I’m just curious,” Eiji sighed playing with the permanent markings on Fuji’s arm. “We are vampires, right? So why is your skin scarred?”
“We cant grow back limbs. Even when we put them back on the skin wont heal again. Everything else will reconnect but the skin will remain dead,” Fuji explained. “Oh,” Eiji awed as his fingers brushed over the dark skin.
“I’m really sorry.”
“You apologize quite often to,” Fuji smiled ruffling Eiji’s hair. “Because I ripped your arm off!!”
“Oishi fixed it.”
“Yeah, he did. I was really impressed. So what is Oishi’s story. I’m really curious.”
Fuji shrugged. “Go ask him.”
Eiji blushed. “I can’t just ask him.”
Fuji laughed. “Does somebody have a crush?” he teased poking Eiji’s reddened cheeks.
“Yadda, leave me alone, Syuusuke,” he whined pushing Fuji on the shoulder his face turning even redder. Eiji got up and started walking away. “He’s over by the village,” Fuji called.
Eiji blushed once again before disappearing. Sure enough just as Fuji said Oishi was on the village outskirts watching the children play. “Hey, Oishi, nya!”
Oishi smiled at the red head that seem to meow quite often. “Yes, Kikumaru.”
Eiji frowned. “You can call me Eiji, I don’t mind.”
“Eiji then. Is there something you wanted?”
“Are you going to eat them,” Eiji asked watching the children play and laugh. “Iie, I just like watching them play.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know. They just make me happy, I guess.” Silence reigned as they watched the small children chase each other laughing, none daring to go to close to the forest.
“Shouldn’t you be with Fuji right now?”
“Eh? Why?”
“Well, your always around Fuji. So I figured there was something going on between you two. Plus you feed off each other quiet often.”
“Oh, Syuu-Syuu is my bestest friend, nya. He takes care of me,” Eiji smiled.
“I figured you might be in love with him.”
“Eh? No way. I love him but I’m not in love with him. Chotto…were you jealous?”
This time Oishi was the one to blush. “You were. You were,” Eiji cheered jumping up and down pointing at Oishi’s reddened cheeks. “Oishi.”
Oishi turned but was shocked as Eiji kissed him softly before pulling away. “Ja ne!!” he laughed running off. Oishi’s fingers brushed across his lips a smile spreading across his features. That Eiji sure was an odd one.
----------
Oishi watched from afar as Eiji laughed clinging on to Fuji’s arm pulling on it as if to see it would come off. Fuji laughed wrapping his other arm around Eiji pulling the boy to him and biting into his neck. Eiji’s eyes rolled into the back of his head moaning out in pleasure holding Fuji’s head to his throat. Oishi felt a pang of jealousy flow through his body as he watched the scene. He had never felt this way about a person, not even Isabella. Eiji made him feel things long forgotten.
Fuji pulled away his lips drenched in blood. He leaned forward allowing Eiji to lap at the blood still on his lips and chin. Fuji ruffled Eiji’s hair. “I must go see Tezuka and Inui. So be good till I get back.”
“Hai,” Eiji smiled as Fuji disappeared. Eiji felt a presence watching him. “Come on out Oishi.”
Oishi stepped towards him. “Nothing between you two?”
“Huh? Oh you mean that just now. That’s just feeding, you know that.”
“I guess,” Oishi sighed leaning against a tree. “Oishi?”
“Hm?”
“Why are you a vampire?”
“What?”
“Well you seem so nice and you take care of people. Aren’t vampires supposed to be evil?”
“I was a fallen angel before I became a vampire.”
“What? I’m confused.”
“You really want to know.”
Eiji nodded enthusiastically.
“Alright. In life I was a healer I saved many peoples life, regardless of who they were. I even helped bandits. When I died I became an angel, a watcher. You see we are meant to watch and only protect in certain situations. But I did something that was taboo. I fell in love with a Spanish woman named Isabella and I decided to become mortal once again. You see when an angel falls in love they get one of two choices, to become a fallen and live a mortal life once again or to remain a protector and lose all memories of them. I choose to became a fallen. So I went to her and she fell in love with me. We had a wonderful life and had planned to get married, but a group of rogue vampires attacked our home. Isabella was killed and I was fatally wounded. I had attacked one of the vampires. So when I fell to the floor it was by chance that I rolled over and the blood that touched my lips was that vampires. I was turned.”
“Wow, and then you met Tezuka-buchou and have been traveling with him ever since then,” Eiji asked.
Oishi nodded. “Do you miss her?”
“Its been about 400 years. I have gotten over it, but have never loved again.”
Eiji hugged Oishi tightly shocking Oishi. “Think you can learn to love again.”
Oishi smiled kissing Eiji on his head. “I think I already have.”
--------------
“Where’s Fujiko and Tezuka,” Eiji asked.
Inui pushed his glasses up. “We got reports of three vampires in a near by town. Hopefully they aren’t rogues.”
“Eiji, eat,” Oishi said pushing the plate of food to Eiji. Eiji nodded picking up his chopsticks and eating the raw meat savoring the wonderful taste. The door to the cabin slid open as five people walked in. Tezuka sat down taking a plate of food. “Come in,” Fuji smiled motioning for the three people to follow him. Inui fixed three more plates handing one to each of the people that entered.
“This is Inui Sadaharu, Oishi Shuichiro, and Kikumaru Eiji,” Fuji smiled sitting next to Eiji and stealing off his plate. “Fujiko, that’s mine,” Eiji whined leaning forward to try to get the meat back. Fuji put it in his mouth. “Oh yeah like that’s going to stop me,” Eiji said leaning forward to cover Fuji’s mouth.
“Eiji!!”
“Oh sorry, Shuichiro. No more blood play, got it,” he smiled moving back away from Fuji. The three people figured it was safe enough to sit among the others.
“What’s your names?” Eiji asked taking Oishi’s dinner. “Momoshiro Takeshi.”
“Kaido Kaoru.”
“Ka-kawamura Takashi.”
“So are all of you….” Momoshiro asked hesitating on the last word.
“Are we what?” Oishi asked kindly.
“Vampires,” Kawamura ended nervously. They all nodded.
“How old are you?” Kaido asked.
“Well, I’m little. I’ve only been a vampire for a year,” Eiji smiled.
“I’m almost 500 years old,” Oishi smiled.
“I’ll let you guess on my age,” Fuji smiled in that creepy way of his. “Oh. Oh. Fujiko is 34 years old exactly,” Eiji cheered jumping up and down. Fuji pushed down on Eiji’s head. “It doesn’t count if you already know.”
“I am 268 years, 62 weeks, 25 days, and 22 hours old” Inui said examining the three. “How bout you,” Momo asked pointing at Tezuka.
Tezuka looked at him. “Over 1000.”
“No way,” Momo said in shock.
“How is that possible?” Kaido asked in disbelief.
“Tezuka here is a pure blood vampire,” Fuji smiled nudging said vampire who glared. AT the confused looks Fuji raised his hands. “Don’t even bother asking.”
“How did you get that burn?” Oishi asked looking at Kawamura’s arm. “Oh, where Tezuka and Fuji found us there was this priestess that was trying to purify me. A priestess Eiko I believe.”
The sound of a bowl falling to the floor caused everybody too look at Eiji who was stiff and looking straight ahead eyes wide. “Where?”
“Huh?”
Eiji stood up. “Where? What village?”
“Kikumaru sit down.”
“Iie, I need to know. I need to. I need to.”
“About five miles northeast,” Kaido said. Eiji walked towards the door. “Eiji, where are you going?” Oishi asked worriedly.
“Are you going to come? If so lets go,” he said opening the door. “I’ll take care of him,” Oishi told Tezuka before following his lover out.
--
“Eiji, chotto,” Oishi called grabbing Eiji’s hand. “Eiji, what’s wrong?”
“I have to go, Oishi. I have to.”
“Why?” he asked their hands still linked and the two still moving towards the northeastern village.
“That Priestess Eiko. Is my elder sister. I have to see her. At least one last time and maybe my family will be there as well.”
“Eiji, I understand why you want to go, but your not human anymore.”
Eiji stopped moving. “I know I’m not but they don’t need to know that. I can make sure they don’t see my fangs and I already ate so I don’t have to worry about my lust getting out of control.”
“You really want to do this?”
Eiji nodded. Oishi laced their fingers together smiling at the red head. “Alright then.”
--
Eiji looked at the village he grew up in marveling at how it had grown in the 4-5 years he had been gone. “This is my home.”
“Eiji,” Oishi said hugging him from behind in a comforting manner. “Its gotten bigger.”
“Eiji-nii-san??”
Eiji turned to see his younger brother. Eiji rushed forward glomping the boy. “Otouto. Look at you. Your so big. Where’s Okaa-san? Nee-chan? Nii-san? Where is everybody?”
“Their at home,” he answered when Eiji finally released him. “Okaa-san is going to die. We thought you died all those years ago, when we heard the temple was attacked.”
“Eh-heh….I escaped. I’ve been in a village 5 miles from here all this time,” Eiji smiled.
“Whose this?” he asked looking at Oishi. “Eh?” Eiji grabbed Oishi’s hand pulling him forward. “This is my special friend Oishi Shuichiro. Shuichiro this is my otouto, Kikumaru Yousuke.”
“Yoroshiku,” Oishi smiled.
“Yoroshiku,” Yousuke replied looking at Oishi apprehensively. “So, Yousuke where is everyone?”
“Come on, I’ll take you to them, Eiji-nii-san,” he said walking into the village. Yousuke pulled a sliding door open letting his family get a full view of their middle child. “Eiji!!” They all called running up to him and grabbing him, touching him, anything to confirm that he was actually there.
“My little boy,” his mother cried hugging him to her chest. “My little Eiji. Your alive. After all these years you are home. My little Eiji. Oh, your skin is as cold as death, come on we will warm you up quickly. And your so pale, have you been eating right?” she fussed pulling him over to the fire and sitting him down throwing multiple blankets around him. “Oh and who is this?”
“This is my friend Oishi Shuichiro,” Eiji said trying to wiggle out of the blankets. “My you look pale as well. Have you boys been eating well?”
She walked up to him grabbing his hand. “Your cold as well. Was it snowing where you two came from?” she asked dragging him towards the fire. “So Eiji, tell us how you escaped?”
“Eh? Oh you mean from the temple. Well they had me in a sealed room.”
“Nani?”
“Oh, I mean there were seals everywhere to ward off evil spirits. Anyways I happened to be in the village during the time of the attack, so I didn’t know about it till I got back. I was so scared that I ran.” Eiji was finally able to shrug off the blankets. Eiji’s mother smiled coming to embrace him once again. “Otouto,” Eiko smiled taking his hand into hers.
Her eyes widened then narrowed. Oishi seemed to realize what just happened. “Okaa-san. Minna. Move away from them,” she said in a dangerous tone.
Their mother looked at her. “Why? Eiko whats wrong?”
Still holding Eiji’s hand she grabbed a blade and stabbed it through his hand. “AHHHH……” Eiji screamed causing his mother to jump back as well as everyone else. “Eiji,” Oishi called knowing that they had all seen his fangs.
Eiji stood up stumbling back into Oishi. Carefully, Eiji pulled the blade out hissing in pain. The wound healed as Eiji licked the blood away from it.
“Priestess Amiya was right,” his mother cried.
“He is the one that killed them. All of them. He truly has become a demon,” Eiko said standing protectively in front of her family. “You slaughtered them all mercilessly. Even the children.”
Oishi could feel the dark aura around Eiji growing. Blood lust wasn’t the only thing that could set Eiji off and the second thing that could was starting to come forward. Anger.
“You tore them apart devouring their flesh and blood. Children barely six years into life. You are a monster.”
Oishi grabbed Eiji hugging him tightly. “Eiji, calm down.”
“Give him to me.”
Oishi turned to see Fuji standing right beside him.
