Whispers In The Dark

Normally it would have taken a starship to come back to Earth. But they had come back here a few months ago because Yo's abilities were still waking and unless he came to Earth they would not fully waken. To Ushina brought him here and that was after a rousing game of cat and mouse ending in him once again bringing ravaged by Yo. By Zan he did it to make a point there was no way Zan was going to loose him that easily nor was he going to let go of him. They had been to a couple of different cities during there travels. Ushina is an Manx.....and he had no idea at the moment.....that there was a movement if Deities and Celestial beings gathering to stop Odin's insanity once and for all.

No at the moment Ushina and Yo were attending school while waiting for Yo's powers to awaken. There class was full of people but they were not the only new transfer students just starting today. Ushina was wearing his long white jacket and white dress slacks, metal belts around his legs and metal boots. His messy shoulder length brown hair falling haphazard around his face.

The other students in the class like them one of the ones at the front of the classroom was wearing a torn faded shirt with Kanji on it that was barely readable. His ears were pierced, skin tight black jeans with leather straps wrapping around his legs tucking into heavy black combat boots. He had shirt blood red hair and intense pale silvery green eyes.

The students in class looked ordinary for the most part although there was one who stood out even when he was not trying to. His deep red bangs fell into his eyes long forelocks hanging down towards his waist. The bulk of his hair was short except for the long thick red braid going down towards his knees. He wore a chocker around his neck a thick black chain, with an opal. A unquie fire swirl hanging off of it. His eyes stood out glowing silver with cat slit pupils. Long red lashes thick that when he closed his eyes laid against his cheek bones. Under his right eye in a perfect line from the latter corner were three beauty marks and one below the left corner of his lip. Blue jeans boots and a dress shirt that was white sleeved, black with orange trim on one side and black and magenta diamonds. Long sleeved.

"We have new transfer students today class after introductions please make them feel welcome."

He was tired, and already bored before things had even started. He yawned, obviously not amused by having to be there. He stood, arms crossed as he leaned carelessly against the black board, a elbow length, black shirt that had some sort of faded, hardly legible band name sprawled across the front and an odd quote on the back; "We're all mad..." scribbled on the back. The shirt clung to him as if he were wearing the wrong size, while his pants were baggy and red with black accents and chains hung everywhere, along with zippers and various metal rings. Hanging around his neck were the three skulls, along with two golden necklaces. On his feet were heavy, black combat boots that strapped up to his knees. The most noticeable thing about him though? those white, cold eyes of his. He was bored, hateful and ready to find something to get into trouble with...just to make it amusing.

"Kill me now so I can be rid of this nagging boredom..." he said lowly, speaking up as he finally made a move to lean off of the blackboard and move closer to Ushina.

Ushina glanced at Yo and smiled shaking his head. He didn't know what to tell Yo. It was't like he could just solve the issue of boredom. "Things should get interesting if that is who I think it is." Ushina said looking at him before looking at Itazura.

Seinaru looked at those in class before glancing at Shoku. They had been on the hunt for the 'fake 'Loki' until recently that thing had been showing up messing with Shoku's life. Then Odin tried to kill him and so they devised a clever plan allowing everyone to believe they had died. Friends loved ones everyone. They had to in order to set the trap for Odin.

Itazura sighed as he sat there looking out the window at those gathered in class. The teacher looked. Waiting for there introductions and when it became clear that none of the transfers wanted to she sighed. Assigning seats. "Kishin the seat behind Itazura is open. Zankokuna the seat to the right if Itazura is yours. Seinaru if you could take the seat in the back center and the on in the far back corner Ushina I'd you please then we'll get class started."

Shoku, now Kishin, let a sly smile spread across his features. He had been here only a week, enrolling in the school and getting to know the city. Now? Now he was hunting. "Shut up...don't tell me where to sit..." he told the teacher lowly, coldly as he moved slowly over to the back seat and sat down and propped his feet up on the desk.

Zan also looked at her. Cold white eyes that seemed to bore into one's soul. "How amusing...he's already hateful...sounds like he doesn't like you..." he mused as he chuckled and looked back at Shoku. He knew who he was now...Ushina had given it away. "I can't believe I came here during the time you're hunting...had any success?" he asked lowly as Shoku glared at him. If looks could kill...

"We've made some advances lately...but that's not really your business...mad hater...."

The teacher looked at them frazzled she moved slamming her hands down on the desk looking at all of the new students. "This is a class room.... the teacher went to start in on one of her tirades about learning and education when she moved and caught a small seemingly harmless piece of candy.

Itazura looked at her his hand hanging in mid-air as he looked at her smirking. "Now, now no o e really comes to school to learn. They come to end the boredom. So just calm done ko-neko-chan enjoy that and let us all have our fun hmm?" Itazura said as she stood there.

Seinaru watched the teacher she was trembling holding the small piece of candy in her hand unmoving. Itazura ignored the new students ignored his classmates as he moved appearing behind her leaning just slightly over her shoulder and closed her hand over the diabolical piece of candy. "Just relax Ko-neko-chan[i] and everyone here might just like you better."

Zan chuckled lowly as he licked his lips. "How amusing...never been called that before..." he mused lowly as he looked at Shoku before he looked over at Ushina. "These guys...they certainly will end my boredom...."

Shoku just sighed and moved, getting up and walking back up to the front of the classroom, hands in his pockets. He came to a stop on the other side of her and he leaned in and sniffed, taking a deep breath before exhaling and chuckling lowly. "Hmmm...I've nearly forgotten...I've not fed..." he mused as he moved her hair away from her neck and leaned in close.

The teacher went wide eyed panicking and threw the piece of candy at Shoku which did nothing but hit the floor doing what candy does best breaking in its wrapper. Horrified she went wide eyed and looked at Itazura who sat down on the top of his desk legs crossed.

"It didn't do Anything!" the teacher said shaking and pulling back from Shoku frightened.

Itazura rose an eyebrow looking at her quietly. "Oh Ko-neko-chan what on earth made you think it would do anything? It was after all just a piece of candy. he said shrugging and bringing his hands up to the sides shaking his head as if to say he just didn't know what to do with her at all.

Ushina smiled as he looked at Zan. "They certainly are interesting." he said amused and in agreement.

"Just who the hell do you think you are? Your nothing more then the class clown and now I have troublemakers to boot."

Itazura not knowing who Shoku was to him or rather who he himself was to Shoku shrugged and answered. "Honestly Ko-neko-chan many would have called me a god of mischief once upon a time but....I never was. I just enjoy a good game is all.....and well you are simply too much fun to play with."

Zan smiled and nodded. "I'm rather glad we came here when we did...it seems we've arrived during the time of their small war..." he mused, watching emotionlessly as Shoku and Itazura were both hounding the teacher.

Shoku chuckled and grabbed her arm. "I'm Kishin Dokeshi....and class clown...is not something you want to compare me to..." he mused lowly as he leaned back in, his lips brushing her neck. "I said I wanted to feed...you didn't have to do anything...it's in my nature..." he mused lowly as he rolled an eye to look at Itazura. "Oh? I'd be careful...there is only one true god of mischief..."

Ushina nodded as he dropped his chin into the palm of his hand. This was truly interesting.

The teacher blanched and looked at Kishin. " I wasn't calling you a class clown I was calling you a trouble maker. I was calling Itazura a class clown."

Itazura ignored the teacher though and looked at Kishin. He looked at him tipping his head. "Ah the true god of mischief. You'd be referring to Loki right? He was often called a Deity of Mischief but really he was a Fire Deity he just enjoyed his games." Zura asked raising one hand up in the air speaking about he himself in such a round about way but he needed to know if this one worked for his dear half brother and was out to kill him a second time. Finding out Jorgoumond was the one who made his death possible he had to locate his bratty son and punish him....but right now although he hide it well....he was still mourning the loss of a son he never even had the chance to hold in his arms.

Seinaru shifted looking at this nineteen year old brat just what did he know of Shoku's father?

Shoku slapped her though, growling lowly as he kept her firmly in his grasp. "I don't give a damn which one you were talking to. No one is a clown...trouble? Bitch you don't even know trouble..." he mused, but looked coldly at Itazura. ""Fire god, god of mischief...be it one or the other, I don't give a fuck. If you breathe the wrong words about my father...so help me..." he paused though. That scent...seriously? Here? Now?

He narrowed his eyes and let go of the teacher and turned to look at Itazura fully. "If you're real...you had better hope that you're not the fucking clone...the fucking lie..."

Zan pursed his lips as he mused in a hushed tone, "My...this is interesting..."

Itazura looked at him. His father.....if he even breathed the wrong word about his father....did he dare to hope...."I am no one's clone. But I'm not about to be killed again. I already have one helluva I.O.U. to a few assholes who decided to fuck with me and my family...." he said although he was not a vampire so he could not tell by blood scent.

"Let's see....so far I find out my asshole of a brother killed me using my own son's poisonous fang there's a bit of fucking irony for you. To make matters worse my darling wife after I died fucked with my sons heads. Made one believe he was fucking insane sent him away. The other? I didn't even know she was pregnant with and then I'm told I'll never even get the chance to see him...so....let me say this only once. Don't fuck with me I didn't come back from the dead just to be tortured for the rest of eternity." Itazura said as he stood up off of his desk ignoring the human teacher.

Seinaru looked between Shoku and Itazura.....things were interesting alright.

Ushina looked highly amused earth wasn't boring now.

Shoku glared at him, at the one who was supposed to be his father. "Let me make one thing clear...." he told him lowly, coldly as he moved to get in Itazura's face. "I didn't fight like hell to make it out of that fucking place...just to be jerked around...if you're really Loki...if you're really my father...tell me..." he told him, but his anger fell and his voice grew hushed.

"Why...Why did you go even though you knew..."

Itazura looked at him. Looked at Kishin as flames began to lick his frame before erupting and standing there was Loki in his true state. He looked at this one before him. "Because I didn't know. I knew a dear friend was in danger but not by who. I knew it was dangerous to go. That I'd be one helluva a fight....but Baldir was my best friend. I was certain I was going there to meet upon with Thor. Because I believed I'd come home again to be with my family with my son. My son's now. I came back to learn she tormented Hijo...and that when I left to save Baldir thinking I'd be back in a couple of days....she never told me she was pregnant. I came back was reborn and learned I had a second son by Midori. That....he died a long time ago. Was cast into Limbo.....and when I find were Odin is hiding I'll kill him for everything he has made my children suffer through and for using that fucking clone or doll to carry out his dirty work."

Seinaru shifted. Was he the real deal? Or was this another trick of Odin's? Another trap?

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His father...it was really him this time...

He put a hand against Loki's face, unafraid of the flames or the horns or even the possibility that he was reaching into the arms of death. "I'm not dead...I fought my way back...I may have a new body, but I'm still me...and Hijo...there's someone who will surely kick my ass...I left him alone all of this time..." he mused, but chuckled at the thoughts of Hijo. His mother might have tortured Hijo, but Hijo was strong and sure of himself...even if he was childish at times..Hijo knew his footing from the moment his feet touched the ground.

He ran his thumb along Loki's cheek and sighed before pulling away and shaking his head. "After all of this time...I thought I'd cray...but...from the looks of things...it seems Hijo has done it first...so I'll save my tears for a more appropriate time...right now...I need to feed..." With that, he turned his attention once again to the teacher. She was annoying, had pissed him off the moment she opened her mouth and had made one mistake after the other since.

Seinaru could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. They had found him. They had finally found Loki, the real one.

Loki looked at Kish in releaved that he was alright and yet. In sadness at the same time.here was another of his children that he had been denied seeing grow up. The teacher went a bit wide eyed.

"What mistake did I make?" she asked in a tone that said your kidding me.

Never mind the fact that Kishin stated clearly do not insult his father. Loki merely watched he wasn't about to tell his son he had to starve.

Ushina blinked. So the red-head really was the Loki. Things were interesting alright.

Shoku looked at her as if she had said something gross. The complete look of disgust on his face carried through to his voice as he spoke, "You've insulted not only me...but my father and the beings who are tricksters...." he caught her by the wrist and turned it in a painful manner, twisting it behind her back.

"Tell me...if I were a kitsune...if I were a fox who is famous for his tricks...would you have been so dumb as to make the same comments?...I doubt it..." he mused lowly as he leaned in licked her neck and took a deep breath, breathing in her scent before he exhaled and chuckled lowly. "You should feel honored...the son of Loki, a god, is about to feed on you...a demi-god is about to gift you with the sensation of feeding...you should take this gift happily..." he mused before he took a fist full of her hair and yanked her head to the side and sank his fangs in and began to drink.

Zan chuckled, licking his lips as he watched. His eyes twinkled with a sort of dark amusement. "My my...this has certainly turned out to be entertaining...sort of makes me want to play..."

She almost screamed. Almost if not for the amused look on Loki's face. As if her being fed off of was not that big of a deal. To him it wasn't. Loki hoped up floating in the air sitting Indian style. "You should be flattered. Because personally ko-neko-chan....I find you incredibly boring at least this way you get to be amusing for a moment or too. Loki said looking at him then at her as she shook and shivered in fear. A God and Demi-god were in the room.

Seinaru smiled got up and walked up to Shoku leaning in he smiled. "Its been a while since I've seen you this happy. But honestly I'd say the fun has just begun."Seinaru said as he rested against the chalkboard.

Ushina smiled as he leaned in towards Zan. "I'd say this Is certianly returning to earth for....shall we have a bit of fun?" Ushina asked whispering into Zan's ear. He was a Manx...because for an angelic being he was anything but a saint.

Shoku continued to feed, taking deep gulps until he was satisfied. He wouldn't kill her...he liked the taste of her blood. Licking his lips, he chuckled as he turned to Seinaru. "It's been a while since I've been blessed with the chance to feed...being damned to that pit of nothing was worse than being damned to live in hell..." he said, making a face of complete distaste as he then let his arm slink around Seinaru's neck. "However...I would be even more happy if I were blessed with the feeling of you feeding too..." He was sly, but was kind and gentle to those he loved. He was also a very good friend to have on your side.

Zan chuckled and licked his lips. "Yes...lets.....I've not lavished myself in the taste of blood in quite some time now...seems I deserve it for being so patient with this place..." he mused lowly as he looked at Ushina.

The teacher sat there quiet breathing heavy for some reason he didn't drain her dry she wasn't about to make him change his mind. Loki was quietly watching. So this was Seinaru the one Shoku dove into Limbo to get back and it would seem just as Destin and Subaru said. They truly loved each other there was nothing wrong with that. Love after all as genderless.

Seinaru smiled as he tipped his head looking up at him as he said that. "Well then I'll have to be sure to give you that blessing." Seinaru said as he turned his head kissing the side of Kishin's neck before his fangs found purchase. The first time he took blood from him was while he was still an angelic being only badly hurt from a few rogue demon Shoku had insisted that he drink his blood and heal it would not harm him but it would allow him to heal. He drank feeding from Kishin, closing his eyes as he savored the taste of Kishin's blood since his change he had never taken from another it seemed Kishin wanted to keep it that way.

Ushina smirked as he got up lazily surprising the teacher as he walked over to Zan's desk sitting down on it so his back was facing Zan before he leaned back almost laying down his head resting on Zan's shoulder, his hair falling downwards neck arched as he smiled. "Of course, indulge yourself a bit.Ushina said amused.

Shoku gasped a little, so long had he missed the sensation of being fed from. So long had he been cursed to search blindly for his lover in the pit of limbo. So long had he climbed his way out, fighting tooth and nail to see the light of day once more with his lover. "Mmm...so long have I been waiting for the feeling of your fangs in my throat..." he mused lowly as he closed his eyes. "It feels so good to be home...to be able to feel it all again..."

Zan chuckled as he leaned down to kiss Ushina before he moved to his neck, fangs flashing. He wasn't a vampire, no....he was a creature much different. He was rare as he was the only of his kind. Only now was it able to be seen. The spell that bound him to the darkness...the demon who consumed part of his soul...the demon who wished to use Ushina to his advantage.

The darkness hadn't surfaced since that day, but the scars and the spell that bound Zan was still there, never changing never fading even the slightest. "Yes..." he breathed lowly as he too sank fangs into flesh and let the metallic red liquid of life wash down his throat, run down his chin, and drip in crimson puddles on the desk.

They were all crazy...that's the whispers...but many were mixed with the whispers of demons, evil, cruel, scary, but one stood out to Zan. Heroes.

Seinaru continued to fed. As the crimson fluid flowed past his lips and down his throat. He curled into him holding to him and not speaking at the moment. Seina drank as if he was parched and he was. Spikes through his golden wings, wrists and ankles pinned to a wall in Limbo's darkest depths unable to get free and longing to see Shoku again. To hear his voice. Then he was there having dove into Limbo after him. Freeded him from the wall and together they fought there way back out. He had missed the taste of Kishin's blood. He hugged him happy to be held in his lovers arms again.

Loki looked over as the demon in Zan surfaced more then happy too drink from the Manx that was before him. He looked about wondering what had the demon so very curious.

Ushina looked at the ceiling his breathing relaxed as the markings glowed letting him know the demon had surfaced again as he laid there being fed from and yet the demon for all his darkness had no desire to harm him. If Ushina didn't know better he'd swear that the. Demon despite all his plans loved him as Zan's pure half did as well. Although he noted at the moment a bit of curiosity in his dark eyes. "Something has perked your curiosity Zan. You looked most intrigued by something your sensing." Ushina said as he continued to stay like that. Relaxed as if his blood spilling to the floor that which Zan was not drinking in anyways but he wasn't Zan. He could not sense what he did.

He drank, drank until he couldn't anymore, and then he rose, his eyes brimming with curiosity and amusement. Licking his lips and wiping his chin, he tilted his head to the side and mimicked the whispers. "Heroes? How exactly are demons and vampires heroes? It had caught his attention and that is where it would stay.

Shoku though, shivered as his hands came up to tangle in Seinaru's hair. To be lavished so...it felt amazing to be free from limbo and to be home once more... He turned then though, opening and eye to look at the demon who pondered how a demon and vampires could be heroes. "I believe they're comparing us to the royal family now...seems they still remember when Aoi's family went to their schools...."

Loki looked at him as he asked that. "During Aoi's Rule on the throne? Ah the time when I've heard Odin's control waned." he said as he looked around the room at the students.

Ushina was just as curious as he sat up running down his throat and wiped it clean. He tipped his head. "Vampires at one time, were feared. Legendary creatures that hunted in the night and were hunted by vampire hunters. Aoi before taking the throne was a visual Kuri band member Hopeless beauty. He met with Kira and one thing lead to the next as aoi and his family did what they had not planned on they took up there places on the throne as they were royals from America who established there reign here in Japan." Ushina said as he looked at Zan.

"The long and short of it...vampires went from being feared to being creatures of awe. Many tried for a while to figure out how to become Vampires many just wanted to be close to the Royals especially Kira who always seemed to be targeted and desired. But your being a demon doesn't bother them because there are demons who help the royal family. In essence welcome to Earth Rei Takusen's cherished world and the very thing Odin wishes to destroy and is attempting to use Loki Deity of fire and mischief as the catalyst. Shoku and I have been searching for him for a long time now. Odin seems to think Loki is the key to destroying everything." Seinaru said his lios brushing against Shoku's neck before he learned that small distance and began drinking again. Like Ushina he was a class if angel...a Seraphim, but he no longer flew in the Imperial Heavens. He flew were Shoku was.

Ushina looked at the students before stretching a bit and looked at them. "Although it's dangerous to assume that all vampires and demons could be classified as Hero's....my demon in particular is not someone you children would wish to piss of....or become beyond boring to."

One looked at him and said yours under his breathe to which Ushina released his chained and bound wings the necklace that allowed Zan to release and seal the chains at a whim matched and was around Zan's neck. Skull's black crystals in the three skulls eyes and a thick chain. He walked over to Zan the heavy metal spikes that hung off of the ends of his blood red wings dug rivets in the tile floor. A collar with a skull hanging down black crystals for eyes the chained restraints through his wings they could not see the words engraved in his back but that didn't matter. Ushina walked up behind Zan slidding his arms around him before bringing one wing down to wrap half around him chin coming to a rest on his shoulder. "Yes mine...or perhaps it would be more accurate to say I belong to him. I am a Manx who now has an 'tamer'..."

Zan let an amused, but dark smile creep into his features. His smile almost looked like it carried nothing but ill intent and malice. It could be easily mistaken as such, if not for one small difference. There, in his eyes, shone the clear evidence of love and amusement. Somewhere, partially aware, was the lighter half of Zan.

Bringing his arms up, he grabbed hold of the collar and one of the chains on Ushina's wing and yanked them, pulling him down and kissing him, seeming to wish to do nothing but devour him. However, after a while, he released him and tilted his head to look at the others in the room. "I like it here...I think...I'll stay longer than we originally planned....I want to see how well these people come to fear or understand me....which ever it is...they'd better come to learn that there are two sides to every coin..." he mused before he fell silent again. Zan had been gaining something he'd never have thought he'd have. Control.

Zan was gaining control over his demonic nature, however, there were times when he simply cut loose and let it run wild. When he fought...there were times that he became caught up and over indulged the demon, and his control waned. This wasn't one of those times. Now, he went back to brooding. He loathed the mixed stares of horror and curiosity.

Shoku though, chuckled and freed an arm and wrapped it around Zan and Ushina. When he had moved, it seemed no one had noticed. Even then, it didn't matter. Zan just turned and looked at him. "Demons, beasts and mosnters...that's really all anyone is...no matter what species or gender you are, the soul of the being is still the same. If they're tainted, anyone or anything can become evil or even a monster...you...are special....we all are special. We embrace our darkness and use it to our advantage...we become the very things people fear because we aren't afraid...because we're curious and because we want the strength to stand up and let others know that we've moved beyond them in will power...but more than that...we've become the less boring of the breed standards...."

Ushina returned the kiss not fighting him. He knew Zan was gaining control of the darker half of his nature. He didn't bother trying to pull away, after all this was where he wanted to be. He wasn't going to leave him. He looked at Zan and shrugged and learned against him as Zan had the collar and binding chain. l don't care where we reside, I just hate boring. Around you I never have to worry about that. Ushina looked over at Shoku and Seinaru. Seinaru WS still feeding he wondered what could have happened that this one would need to feed like this.

Seinaru was finnaly slowing down in his drinking. As if he was getting lethargic while he was getting full considering the amount if damage Odin had done to him that was finishing to heal and restoring his broken frame upon return to the worked if the living he was just a touch tired. Stopping feeding and not meaning to he hated being a bother to Shoku. But since the day he got past Seinaru's defenses, he had come to stop resisting long ago Shoku's desire to keep him safe. As Shoku liked to put it Angelic beings are fragile, becoming an angelic vampire does not change that. Seinaru exhausted from his time injured in Limbo and feeling safe in Shoku's arms fell asleep.

Loki sat down on the floor and walked up to the group. "Welcome to Earth....but let me say it for Rei. Welcome home Zan and Ushina. I believe you will find this world anything but boring. Loki said smirking And nodding. "Try to have a touch of patience with the humans they can be both amusing and then become annoying but they are certainly entertaining.

"Geez did Seinaru just fall asleep like that? What is with that guy anyways I can't figure out if he is someone I should ask to forgive my every mistake....or stare at in awe and Wonder he's just a normal vampire right?" the kid asked as Seinaru sighed softly in his sleep head turning into Shoku as if to breathe in his scent.
