Shattering Walls & Touching Souls

Part three.

After weeks of constant study and training Yoru is slowly getting the hand of the life he is developing here. Overall he finds it rather....homely. Victoria is very kind to him. Well most of the time. She tends to like to play tricks on him every now and then, but It all seems to be in good fun. For whatever reason it may be, he can never stay mad at her. She will duck behind something and try to make a cute face. Or sometimes she will stick out her tongue at him. Either way the childish behavior seems to have a cause all anger to be nothing but a fleeting notion that quickly is replaced by laughter. Alexander truly does seem to be serious about his goal with integrating both vampires and humans. He is a good man. Someone Yoru has come to respect very much. Yoru's secret identity and last name have been kept exactly that, secret. No one else other than Alexander has a clue that Yoru is half human and that his blood is from the Tenchi clan. He has been informed of several new facts. Things like his vampire magic can't come into full power if he doesn't drink blood. The Tenchi are known as one of the more powerful vampires because they are able to use human magic as well as vampire magic. Only when mixing the two are they able to create a sort of powerful mix that can make the council shake in their boots. Which also brought to light another fact that was not known. Half vampires were hunted ten times more fiercely than full vampires. Perhaps it is because of this special mix of the two magics that causes it.

Yoru stands around Alexander's Library after his lesson on vampire history and language. He is picking it up rather quickly. In fact it is frustrating Victoria to no end how fast Yoru is able to pick up on the information that seems to refuse to stick with her mind. Alexander is wanting to check up on his progress and possibly start a lesson in his vampire magic training. Alexander jumps from one of the top shelves forty or so feet in the air and lands with a clatter in front of Yoru.

"Lessons doing well?" 

Yoru simply nods

"good. Now to tell you A few secrets about your blood" 

Yoru waits in intense anticipation. His mission almost all but forgotten.

"Well as you might know that the Tenchi are different as far as vampire families. We are not sure why, but they are able to use human mage magic as well as magic that should come to most vampires naturally. No other vampires are able to use human magic. At least not to the degree you are able to. And you as a half breed should have an even more powerful dosage of it. I'm actually rather surprised by your strength. Even for a tenchi you are stronger than many full vampires. I am curious to see the blood of your mother and your mother's side of the family. But that is beside the point. The point is this. You and your family have the ability to mix both human and vampire magic. Now being able to use both is a unique trait but being able to mix the two together at the same time is something only someone every few generations can do. Your father Akuchi has managed to do something very similar. Though what he mixed was very potent and very deadly. I don't expect you to do the same. Black magic isn't for you. But that doesn't mean we can't have you learn both."

Notions for Yoru to stand up and He obidently follows the command without hesitation.

"Now the vampire magic is almost all a mind trick. Psychic powers on the next level if you will. Lets start with the most basic power. Hypnosis. I want you to cast your hypnotic aura onto these mice" With a wave of his hand he reveals some small regular lab mice. He looks at one and it becomes still. He moves his eyes and the rat follows. He turns to yoru and waves his hand for him to try. His first attempt was a complete failure. There seems to have been nothing even slightly averting the rats will as it sunk its teeth painfully into Yoru's hand. Alexander laughs as he leaves him to practice.

Near a half an hour passes and Victoria pops her head in and brings him a snack of blood. She sits on the couch to watch and mock him at appropriate times.

"Is it really necessary for you to watch?"

"yes" She says giggling past the point of control.

He tries his best to ignore her but he finds this a rather difficult task. Almost more difficult than the actual task at hand. 

"would you like a hint?" She taunts still giggling.

"Are you serious or is it another trick?"

"Oh! How untrusting. Maybe I'll just keep it to myself then"  With that she starts to strut out of the room.

"Wait! Okay! fine i'll hear it!" 

With new found giggling and enjoyment she plops back down on the couch

"Desire." She says as if revealing some great secret. Her hand is held out at him holding up her index finger.

"Desire?" He asks slightly confused. 

"Yes. You have to want it to work. See it working. Force it to work Its all about how bad you want it" 

Yoru looks down at the mice. He really is drawing a blank. What does he want from them? What does he want? There really is nothing that he wants. This thought depresses him and he starts to feel his insides get weak. Even the through of his comrades seem to make him feel uneasy. He has betrayed them by staying here with the vampires instead of killing them. But for some reason he cannot bear himself to do so. With a down trodden heart and lost in his thoughts he feels a warm gentle touch on his back. Jerking up he sees its only Victoria, only she seems very concerned. There is a tear running down her face. Its not till she raises up her hands to his face that he notices that his face is wet as well. He brings up his hand in disbelief at his own reaction. There is a moment where he cannot bear it any longer and he suddenly encases Victoria in his arms and holds her tight. Suddenly the great dam that holds back his tears breaks loose and all the emotion he has kept inside all his life starts flooding out like a massive river being released from the holds of an obstruction. She grasps around him as well. She hangs on squeezing him tight. She is crying just as hard for some reason. He is silent the entire duration of the moment but even without words the bond that was created, and the feelings that were understood could not have been expressed better.

 Alexander had been watching from the sky view. He had seen this coming and surprisingly has a smile on his face as well.

"Bout damn time" Alexander gets up to go make an appointment with one of his advisers on a local dispute, which gives him an excuse to leave the two alone for a while.

Still clinging tightly to each other both look deeply into the others eyes. Leaning forward he holds her in closely and can feel her heart beating against his chest and in a moment of warmth that far surpasses anything Yoru himself had ever experienced. She returns his affection and they remain there in each others arms just enjoying the touch of their love's skin. Yoru having never known the warmth of touch from someone else like this feels slightly hesitant and pulls away. Not in a way that would hurt her but just to break the embrace though still holding onto her hands. Looking somewhat disappointed She turned back to the rats

"Try now" 

After his tears and final break down he feels refreshed. His walls have been taken down. The sense of freedom finally sets in. He can trust this girl, and he can believe in Alexander. Fairy Tail might even be able to help them in a join effort to gain rights and such things for the Vampire community. He thinks hard on that goal. The goal to be together with this girl, and to be able to server the Ideals of this man. And to create a world where he can live like how he feels at this very moment. Like a loud booming yell his will travels down onto the mice. Silent but powerful his message came. The mice immediately stopped and from then on They were in his command. He tried all of the techniques that he had been learning. Telekinesis, telepathy, hypnosis, and several others. Now they were as easy as breathing!

Laughing and playing with his new found powers. Somehow they were hugging again. And then she leaned up and kissed him on the lips. Yoru froze for a moment. He was new to all of it and was caught of guard. She however knew exactly what to do and brought him in for another kiss. He felt himself feeling things that he had never felt before. He hesitated. He knew that this might hurt if he gets in to deep. Though....there is little he can do at the moment. He has fallen in love with this girl. He can't find the harm in just trying it. This could be his shot. perhaps this is what he has been missing. He leans forward kissing her back. She starts to melt into his arms as he takes the lead. Just as he started to let himself go there was a crash outside followed by a scream. Suddenly the moment was lost and both found themselves sprinting full speed out the door. Once outside a bright light blinds them for a moment. It was like a very powerful flash of a camera. Once his disoriented eyes adjusted he was able to look down and see the Body of a decapitated Alexander lying at their feet. Soon as he sees this he turns quickly to cover Victoria knowing she would be the next target. He would gladly sacrifice his life a thousand times over for her. When his arms reached around her he felt his hands hit metal.Glancing down he saw his greatest nightmare rip through him like a thunder clap.
