The Beginning of the End
Prologue
The Past
“Mirai-chan, are you okay?” One of her friends asked her. Mirai was the only daughter of the Vampire King, Karlheinz, who had not seen her since her mother’s funeral. Her mother’s adoptive parents the Kurosawa’s who had raised her since she was an infant and she was now in her second year of middle school were raising her. Mirai was born a vampire and had gone through trouble during her first year of middle school. She returned at the start of her second year. Mirai had long light purple hair that stopped at the middle of her back and emerald eyes.
“Makoto, I am fine.” Mirai began as she looked at her friend who was extending her hand to help her up. Makoto had stayed by her side even after finding out she was a vampire. Mirai took her hand and Makoto pulled her off the ground. “Where did Mayumi go?” Mirai added, as she looked for her other friend. She scanned the track and saw Mayumi on the in field talking with two boys from their class. They walked over to Mayumi. Mirai felt a strong presence approaching the school. ‘They should be sleeping now.’ She thought to herself as one of her younger brothers appeared in front of her.
“Who is he?” Mayumi and Makoto asked her. The young boy had reddish-brown hair with emerald eyes like hers. Mirai looked down at Ayato and shook her head.
“Nee-san,” he said as he looked up at her.
“This is one of my younger brothers Ayato. Why are you here?” She asked him as he looked up at her. She felt more presences arriving. “Why are all of you here right now?” She asked her brothers.
“We followed Ayato here, Nee-san.” Kanato said. She looked over at Kanato who had purple hair and eyes with bags under his eyes.
“Let’s go home, sorry for disturbing you at school Mirai.” Reiji said as everyone followed him. They headed home and left Mirai with a lot of questions to answer. She sighed as she realized Shū was not with them and shook her head.
“How many siblings do you have Mirai-chan?” Mayumi asked.
“I have six younger brothers. They normally are sleep at this time of the day. I wonder why they were up at this time of the day in the first place. I do not live with them at the moment since I am going to school. The oldest son was not here.” Mirai explained wondering why Ayato left the castle looking for her. Ayato should have been studying at that time.
“Do not they go to school.” the boy with the jet-black hair asked. Mirai just shook her head in response to the question.
“Sorry I cannot go into too much detail as to why they do not attend school but they are learning things from the vast library my father has. They study with their mother’s on a daily basis. The five who were here were Ayato, Kanato, Laito they are fraternal triplets, Reiji is the second oldest, and Subaru the youngest.” Mirai added.
“Why was not the oldest one here with them?” the boy with the light brown hair asked her. She just sighed and shook her head.
“I really do not know what Shū, the oldest was doing or why he was not with his brothers. Last time I was with them, Shū would be gone for days at a time and I happened to follow him once. All I know is he had made a friend of some sort that lived in a near-by village. I am friends with his friend. He could be with him but I am not sure.” Mirai continued. She looked at the boys and could not think of their names. “What are your names again?” She asked them.
“This is Tatsuya and he is Daichi. They were in our class last year before you left Mirai.” Makoto said. Tatsuya had light brown hair and green eyes. Tatsuya was 178 cm (5’10). Daichi was 174 cm (5’8) with jet-black hair and light brown eyes.
“Where did you go for the remainder of last year Mirai-san?” Tatsuya asked.
“I stayed with my father until I got over my sickness. I was able to advance a grade because I passed my finals though I missed the last two semesters of school. I had a lot of time to study while I stayed with my father.” Mirai explained to them. Daichi and Tatsuya were shocked that she missed most of the year yet passed all of her exams with above average scores. They continued to talk until PE was over. Mirai realized that this was where she belonged even though her family meant a little something to her.
