Watches as Lord Touten paces in front of him with a look of anger and
strained patience on his face. He had failed his master and now he was
going to pay for his mistake. Touten was not known for his compassion.
"Do you realize what
you've done Vincent? Do you?!" Slams a fist on his desk with anger.
"You have disobeyed a direct order and have effectively alerted them to
our presence. Your insolence will not be tolerated. Furthermore you
only half turned that human, Vincent. Do you realize what this means?
We have to destroy him."
"But sir, he could be
usefull still even as a half vampire. I could subjugate him."
"No. You cant
subjugate a half vampre you idiot. He has his sense of self and the
power of a vampire. He must be destroyed if we are to rise again. Do
you understand me Vincent? No. You are to assist in the subjugation of
Homura. I will send someone else to destroy the human. You will not
fail me again Vincent. The next time you do I'll have you frying in the
sun."
Nods curtly to his master knowing he was getting off easy and shouldnt
push it. "Yes sir." Bows before heading off to the cell block.

Hakkai slept fitfully not really getting any sleep his mind filled with
worry for his friend. Close to sun rise Sanzo's vomiting had lessened
and he had finally fallen asleep around 5 am. Feels a tap on his
shoulder and opens his eyes looking up at Gojyo.
"He's awake now. Thought you might want to know."
"How is he doing?" Sits up.
"Not good. Better
than last night but still not good." Sighs taking a seat on the bed by
Hakkai, "he's really pale Hakkai, and cold."
"I'll go check on
him." Gets up and heads to Sanzo's room stopping halfway after hearing
the door bell. Walks downstairs opening the door and is shocked when a
woman throws herself on him sobbing. The girl looked familiar. Hakkai
thought for a moment before realizing where he had seen her before. The
hospital. She had been there with Sakura. Ah yes, the roomate, Ayaka
was it? "Ayaka? Whats wrong?"
"Its...Homura....something...." Breaks down sobbing and cant speak for
a moment. "It was a monster...it took him...Oh God I dont know what to
do Hakkai. It just...bit him...on the neck...there was so much
blood." Looks up at her roomates friend not sure if he believed
her or not.
Another vampire? Or the same one that attacked Sanzo? But a vampire
loose in Tokyo? It just didnt add up. "Why dont you come in and sit
down." Looks outside not seeing a vehicle. "Did you run all the way
here?"
"I...didnt trust
myself to drive..." Follows Hakkai in to the living room taking a seat.
The image of Homura being attacked kept flashing in her mind. Hugs her
arms, fear still nawing at her.
"Make yourself comfortable. I'll be right back."
"Oh Hakkai. Is
Sanzo-sama still here? I need to tell him that I wont be coming into
work today."
"Neither will he."
"What? Is he ill?" Looks concerned.
"Whatever you
saw....I think it attacked here as well....that or there is more than
one of them."
Sits with one hand over her mouth eyes wide at the news.Lowers her hand after a moment. "Can I see him?"
"Sure. I was on my
to check on him. Your welcome to come." Heads up the stairs leading
Ayaka to Sanzo's room.
Looks up as Hakka walks in and to his shock sees his secretary of all
people behind him. "Ayaka? What the hell are you doing here?"
"I...." Bites her lower lip not exactly sure what to say.
"Sanzo....Ayaka
says that Homura has been attacked much in the same way you were.
And...that he's been taken by whatever did this. I told her you were
attacked and she asked to see if you were alright." Hakkai explains.
Sighs and lays back on the pillow. This wasnt going to be a great day, he could tell.
