Monello

"Ms. Mizuki…I promised I wouldn't say it but…. I truly believe he's dead."

"Hilary I swear! Stop talking such nonsense!"

"He has not woken and it has been four days now."

"Hilary, if wouldn't mind… will you go and fetch Mr. Hideki for breakfast? I was told to stay until he wakes." There was a huff and then a door slamming. Daisuke opens his eyes to see he was now in a different room. He went to move his wrists to find them free and he stretches them over his head. He sits up and, for some reason, he felt completely refreshed. He touches his stomach to find it completely sealed and not even a scar on the palm of his hands. He watches as Mizuki, who had her back to him, dusts off a table before exiting the room. Daisuke shrugs before standing. His legs were still a bit wobbly but he could walk fine as he looks around the room he was currently in.

The walls were a dark purple, the floor was carpet and was pure white. There was a dresser, nightstand, a bed, and three doors all colored black except the bed had hints of gold on the bedding. He moved towards the closest door on his left and opened it finding it was a closet. He closed the door and moved to the next. This door opened to a bathroom and he cut on the light finding everything in it was pure white. There was a single sink with a huge mirror in front of it. A shower and a tub that could fit at least seven people. Daisuke walked over to the mirror frowning what he saw. His face was capped with dirt, so bad he felt he could just peel it off his skin. He had black hair that touched his shoulders and was currently capped up with mud and what looked like dried blood. His icy blue eyes had dark circles under them and he could tell that his skin was tanned and a bit sunburnt.

'Probably because of lying out there in the sun.' he thought as he turned on the sink. He roughly scrubbed the dirt of his face with his hands and hot water.

"Oh good you're awake!" Daisuke jumped and turned his head to see the woman named Mizuki standing there a basket of things in her hands. She smiled at him and set the basket on the counter. Daisuke smiled and went back to washing his face.

"Would you like to take a shower?" Mizuki asked walking over to him. Daisuke glanced at the smiling woman before nodding. Mizuki nodded and handed him a washcloth out the basket along with a bar of soap.

"Would you like me to prepare it?" She asked walking over to the shower not waiting for the answer. She cut it own and stood next to the shower just smiling at him. Daisuke blinked and looked around still standing where he was. Mizuki cocked her head to the side before giggling and exiting the room shutting the door behind her. Daisuke sighed and went to the shower, stripping himself as he stepped inside. He sighed as his muscles relaxed under the soothing spray of the water. Scrubbing with all his might, he managed to get every speck of dirt off of him watching as it ran down the drain.

He cut off the shower, and just as he stepped out, the door slammed open. Daisuke stood there staring opened mouth and a smiling Mizuki who was holding a towel. Her smiled widened at the sight of his face before she held out the towel for him to take. Daisuke face turned red as he looked away and took the towel wrapping it tightly around his waist. Mizuki giggled and walked back out Daisuke following her. He saw that she had made the bed a new set of clothing lying on top.

"They used to be master Hideki's I just hope they fit." Mizuki said disappearing into the closet. Daisuke looked up before grabbing the briefs that sat on the bed. He slip on the black pants next then the crisp white dress shirt. They were a bit too big but they were all right. Mizuki came out the closer with a pair of scissors in one hand and a towel in the other.

"How do you feel?" She asked forcing him into a chair. Daisuke looked up at her and gave her a small smile. She nodded and wrapped a towel around his neck.

"I'm cutting your hair." She said. It was a statement and Daisuke just shrugged letting the woman do what she wanted. She hummed as she snipped at his hair.

"Does your stomach hurt?" She asked and Daisuke shook his head.

"It's like I was never injured. What did you do to me?" Mizuki giggled and continued to snip at his hair.

"I did nothing, my master on the other hand seemed to think you shouldn't die."

Daisuke bit his lip before nodding.

"What's your name?" Mizuki asked finishing up on her hair cut.

"Daisuke I guess. That's what I've been calling myself. Can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"Ummm…there is a blonde women here. She has green eyes and pale skin, who is she?"

"Why you must be talking about Lady Suzuki, she is my master's fiancée. Why do you ask about her?" Daisuke shrugs and Mizuki frowns but lets it go. She takes the towel from around his shoulders and Daisuke touched his hair to find it shortened to where it touched a little past his ears. He smiled his thanks and she nodded as she cleaned up.

"Come." Was all Mizuki said as she led Daisuke into the hallway. The walls were burgundy and as they went into another hall it was painted a lime green. Daisuke frowned noticing as he walked the walls kept changing colors. They were red, and then green next came a navy blue and now they were light orange. The reached a grand staircase quickly walking down the stairs. Daisuke followed Mizuki into a grand dinning room, pausing when he saw a flash of red hair. He looked at the boy who was currently reading through a paper and sipping something red and thick out of a wine glass.

"Sir, I have bought our guest as you requested." Mizuki said before leaving. Daisuke stood where he was and looked down at the ground. Hideki rolled his eyes.

"Why don't you have a seat?" He said politely looking at the boy. Daisuke glanced up before slowly walking to a seat far away from the young man. Hideki frowned and glared at him.

"Over here." He says motioning to a seat in front of him. Daisuke swallows and walks over to the chair and sat down. Hideki nodds before ringing a bell that sat next to him. A man entered the dinning hall bowing a little.

"Yes Mr. Kuro." The man said politely.

"Yes, could you bring me my usually and…. what would you like to eat?" The young man asked looking at Daisuke. He kept his head down as he shrugged. The young man rolled his eyes and looked back at the man.

"Bring him the same as I except with a glass of…milk." The butler nods before leaving the two to sit in silence. Daisuke looks around.

'Where am I?' He thought, making Hideki chuckle.

"You are in my home of course, I live in the northern parts if these woods. Tell me Daisuke…do you remember what happened last night?" Daisuke looked up at him before shaking his head making Hideki sigh in annoyance. 'Can he read my thoughts?' Daisuke thought and stared wide eyes as Hideki grinned and nodded.

"Maybe I should further explain who I am so you will understand better." Hideki said setting down his wine glass. Daisuke looked down at his lap once again.

"Look at me." Hideki demanded. Daisuke gasped as he felt his body stiffened before his head rose slowly looking at the red head that held an evil smirk on his face. It was as if he couldn't control his own body.

"So it does work? Interesting." Hideki says.

"What?"

"Now, since I have your attention, allow me to introduce myself properly." Hideki says ignoring Daisuke. "My name is Hideki Kuro, leader of the scorpions. If do not know who we are allow me to explain. We are a group of vampires that have been around for centuries. We have owned these lands for as far back as you can believe. Our people have lived beside the humans with no problem but recently we have been having trouble with hunters who have traveled into our lands. This is why when you woke yesterday you were strapped down as a precaution. Of course we have always had hunters though never as bad as it is now. Do you understand so far?" Daisuke nodded and began fiddling he sleeves of the dress shirt. Hideki nodded before continuing.

"Yesterday, you came here and passed out on my front lawn, now usually id leave someone there until they died but since my fiancée saw you I couldn't just do that now could I? You proceed to wake up and somehow escape your bindings and tried to escape. I then found you on the ground your wounds reopen your wounds and began bleeding to death."

"Why am I still alive then?" Daisuke asked and Hideki just shrugged and took another drink.

"I didn't want you to die…yet."

Daisuke was about to ask another question when the man reentered the room carrying a tray with two plates and a glass of milk. Setting them in front of the two boys the man bowed respectfully before leaving. Daisuke looked down at his plate his mouth watering. Sat in front of him was Pancakes topped with whip cream, blueberries, and syrup along with Bacon, scrambled eggs, and hash browns. Daisuke hesitated before picking up his fork and taking a bite. He moaned at the taste.

"Like it?" Hideki asked and Daisuke nodded enthusiastically continuing to eat. They ate in silence until half of Daisuke food was gone.

"Tell me Daisuke…where did you come from? I know for a fact you had to come form inside the woods and not the edge. My guards would have spotted you and alerted me immediately if that were the case."

"A field…" Daisuke muttered.

"A field? Where?"

"I don't know," Daisuke said shrugging. "All I remember is waking up in a field and walking until I got here. I was hoping to find a village though."

"So you didn't know this house was here?"

"Not at all." Daisuke said sipping his milk. Hideki nodded and sat back in his seat.

"You won't get away with it you know." Hideki said and Daisuke looked at him.

"Huh?"

"You won't get away with whatever plan you are planning." Daisuke frowned as he stared at the boy.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Hideki glared at him and sat forward.

"Tell me the truth. Tell me the pan you have to go against me." Hideki said and this time Daisuke heard the slickness in the boy's voice. He felt his head grown heavier before he began to shake his head and look down.

"I don't have any plan to kill you." Daisuke said honesty and Hideki's eyebrow rose

"You honestly don't have a plan to kill me, do you monello?" Daisuke raised a brow and the name before shaking his head the fogginess in his head clearing.

"Mr. Hideki, do you have any idea how I got in that field?" Daisuke asked looking at the boy with hope in his eyes. Hideki stared at him for a moment before resting his head on his hand and looking away.

"No…I do not know how you to the field of flowers, monello." Daisuke saw anger flash in the boy's eyes but it was so quick he could have imagined it. The butler came back for the plates and once they were clear Hideki finished drinking the last of the red liquid. Daisuke glanced at the glass and swallowed his throat suddenly dry.

"Is that…blood?" Daisuke asked and Hideki didn't even glance at him before nodding. Daisuke gagged and stood up, really wanting to get away form the boy and the fact he was drinking blood from god knows where. Hideki looked at him as he began stepping backwards away from the table.

"Where are you going Daisuke?" He asked standing slowly. Daisuke looked at the door and with out a second thought he ran for it. He was almost to the door before he made the mistake of looking back. Daisuke screamed as a hand gripped around his neck and he was slammed against the wall so hard the lantern hanging form the ceiling shook. Daisuke stared wide-eyed into Hideki's eyes; the boy was glaring at him before an evil smirk came to his lips. Daisuke stiffened as Hideki came closer putting his mouth next to his ear.

"I asked you a question monello. …Where are you going?" He whispered and Daisuke just stood there wanting to tell the boy but at the same time afraid to open his mouth. Becoming impatient with the boy's silence he drew away form his ear only a little to come face to face with him. Hideki saw the fear and a hint of anger in the boy's eyes and smirked. Daisuke gasped and shivered as Hideki licked his neck slowly as his other hand ran down his body stopping on his stomach.

"You will not disobey me, brat. Do you understand me?" Hideki asked as he placed a small soft kiss on his neck. His lips were lick ice on the young boy's neck and Daisuke shivered as he placed another one a bit lower down than the first.

When he still didn't answer, Hideki growled and sunk his fangs deep into his neck. Daisuke whimpered and tried to squirm out Hideki's grip. Hideki growled and pressed the boy more into the wall. Hideki began drinks from the boy as he ran his hands up and down the boy's waist. Daisuke breathing became heavy quickly and eventually he was leaning into the boy's chest as he drunk from him. Hideki pulled away and smirked as the boy who was now trying to get back on his feet. Hideki grabbed his face and forced him to look into his eyes before glancing at his neck just in time to see the fang marks faded before a black mark in the shape of a scorpion appeared on his neck.

"I don't like being disobeyed monello…but you will learn that quickly…my little schiavo."
