Kage Ni Kakureru Shizutâzu

Chapter 7

"We need to leave," Said Shizuka. She did not want to bring any more pain to those who lose their children because of them. "What about Daku? I don't want to leave him." Said her sister. "He's only looking out for us and this is how we're going to repay him?"

Shizuka thought about what her sister had said. She could see her point in the matter and she was about to respond but her sister beat her to it. "Where would we run off to then? We have nowhere to go and how would we even try? He's a pure werewolf, which has our scent and could easily hunt us down! He's the best vampire hunter as well. I'm sure that he would find us before we can even begin."

Shizuka sighed, not wanting to admit it but the Neko made a strong point there. There was a long silence after that as Shizuka was thinking about but she couldn't come up with anything at the moment. "I'll think of something." She muttered. And boy, did she think of something. Every day that they went back to their house, she would lock herself in her room until an angel went to visit her. He was worried because she was shunning everyone except her sister.

She quickly explained the situation to him, not hesitating because he saved her from birth, comforted her, helped her, and indirectly trained her. He even made a few exceptions and told her how their mother was doing and what was the fate of their 'father'.

The angel had frowned at hearing what was going on and after a few moments of thinking, he spoke to her. "I will see if he shall make an exception for you two." Shizuka curiosity grew at what he had said before she asks him what he meant. He explains and she grew excited and happy with the offer. "Shall I tell my sister?" She asked with a smile before frowning but she nodded nonetheless. The angel had told her, no, not wanting to give them false hope.

Time soon passed by and she didn't give up faith. She was also more aware of Daku then ever. Every time Ochitsuita fell asleep, she would make various noises. She used to be a silent sleeper and easy to wake but now it was the opposite. Now Shizuka made her twin sleep with her so that she could wake her up, not caring if it was a good dream or not but Ochitsuita would go to her room first as to not make Daku suspicious.

Currently, they were both seventeen years old and had one more year until they weren't underage. Shizuka doubted that they would last that long because she saw the look in Daku's eyes, it wasn't good. Sadly the Neko hasn't seen it because he's constantly in her head. They were still virgins at this age and they weren't "small" either. Though who's chest was bigger? They didn't know nor they didn't care.

One night, when they were doing the same nightly routine, the angel came to visit both of them before they fell asleep and told them the news, including apologizing for taking so long. Shizuka was beaming with joy, they had a place to hide away until they could relocate but Ochitsuita frowned. She was conflicted and needed answers.

"Wouldn't that place hurt me? I'm not exactly err..."She trailed off as she didn't have the right words but they still understood her. Shizuka gave a small frown, thinking about it now. It didn't occur to her but the angel still smiled. "It should be no problem. Your heart is still pure and good so it doesn't matter but it won't allow you to use it. The urge for blood will disappear when you're there," Said the angel as it explained, he had spoken about this and in the time he was away, they were preparing the place for them as the twins were still technically living. "Your appearance might change as well, but when you return to this world, you'll return to the way that you look now."

Ochitsuita nodded, thinking about it. She still didn't want to leave Daku and she still didn't know why Shizuka wanted to leave, what did their brother do to make her like that? Said person sighed and gave the angel a look, asking for help. No matter what she did, she couldn't get her sister to see that Daku wasn't their older brother that they knew and loved. The angel nodded and walked closer to the Neko but Ochitsuita instinctively started to back up. The shadows were yelling in her head to get away from him, to run away but she got herself trapped by a wall instead.

That's another thing, ever since her vampire side woke up, she could hear the whispers of darkness more clearly. It's like having an angel and a devil on her shoulders, but instead inside of her head, and it was not always gentle at all. Some days, it wouldn't bother her or give her some helpful tips, but when it was provoked... Let's just say that it's not a pleasant feeling, right now the shadows didn't want her to be so close to the angel because it could hurt them. When she felt the wall behind her, the neko started to get a headache because of this.

Before she could even consider using the shadows in hopes to make them shut up, the angel spoke...
