The Monster Inside (AoKaga)

The First Meeting

REALLY IMPORTANT A/N: Hey guys, I just wanna explain a few things. There's only three continents; New World, Old World, Wither World. The Old World is ruled by Akashi completely while the New World is being fought over by two factions. This is kinda an EdoAU! also (there are some modern things like TVs but fights happen with swords for example) and there is magic. Some humans have magic some don't, same for vampires (though all pure bloods have magic). BTW the ages are a bit different and the usual age for the military in this story is 20 since they aren't in wartime whereas in the New world its around 15.

ONE YEAR LATER

Kagami had gotten his pass to come to the Old World a few weeks ago, once his background was checked he finally was able to come through the portal. Though he didn't have any real relatives his adoptive brother Tatsuya was born and lives in the Old World so Alex and he were allowed through. They were lucky enough to get clearance to leave the war stricken land due to Tatsuya and for that they were ever so grateful.

When he finally spotted his brother through the sea of people his face lit up with happiness. "Tatsuya!" His head looked back and forth before he locked eyes with him and Tatsuya gave him a small smile back. "It's so good to see you!"

"You too Taiga, you've grown a lot since the last time." They smiled and hugged before Tatsuya gave his greetings to Alex also. "Come, let's go back home. You'll like it here, although it's different than what you're used to." He opened a portal to his house and they stepped through. It wasn't a big apartment, only two bedrooms, living room, kitchen, and one bathroom.

"Alex you can have the guest room and Taiga you can use my room."

Kagami frowned, "There's no need for that, I've got the couch. It's even big enough to fit me." Tatsuya didn't look like he wanted to agree but Kagami gave him a look and he sighed. There was only so much one could take of Kagami's begging eyes.

"I don't even sleep Taiga. Are you sure?" Tatsuya was indeed a vampire, not a pure blood but still a high bred vampire. And though they didn't need to sleep, they still had a trance like state that let them regain their strength.

Kagami smiled at him softly, "yeah I'm sure. It doesn't bother me. I'm going to move out once I join the military forces."

Tatsuya looked horrified, "Military forces? Please tell me you're joking. Do you know how hard it is to get in? Let alone for humans? You practically sign your life away."

He sighed, "Tatsuya, there is only so many options for me. I'm still only eighteen. I can't burden you and continue living here forever. I'm not smart, but I am athletic and have a strong body."

"Why don't you join the Healing corps?"

Kagami looked at him incredulously, "And what? Tell them I have this special power even though I'm human? I've never even heard of a vampire magic that could heal a wound completely or bring someone back from the brink of death. So yeah that's a great idea. Talk about signing my life away." Tatsuya looked stricken, he knew that it was a hopeless idea but still didn't want his little brother to join the army. "Plus if I tried healing without my power then I'd have to learn all the other human magic and you know how I am with that stuff."

It was true, human magic really hated him, and portals barely even worked around him, so trying to learn it would just be a disaster. Honestly he couldn't do any magic except to heal, and that went haywire half the time, he didn't even understand how it worked half the time.

Alex finally cut in, "I already tried to talk him out of it Tatsuya. He's set on it. Even though I tried telling him it's different here than the New World. Human's are second here, unlike there where they're equal to vampires." They looked at him worriedly but his face showed he was serious about his decision.
