Chapter 5: The Fantasia's lose and the new Kid

Fantasia couldn't believe her eyes were they tricking her or did she see a kid lying in the courtyard. She ran up to him and seen he couldn't be to old he looked at 10 or 11 but not to old. She ran up to the boy and looked at him he was badly hurt. It was a good thing that Megumi was still coming over to see Kaoru because this boy looked like he needed medical attention.

Fantasia picked up the boy and ran back to the house she opened the door and started yelling for help. Battousai and Aoshi were the first two to hear her and they both ran down to where she was. They both reached her at the same time and said "What's wrong!" at the same time. "I found this boy out in the courtyard he looks like he needs medical attention we have to help him!" Fantasia said in hysterics.

Battousai shook his head in agreement and told her to put the boy in the guest room and keep watch over him until Megumi came over to see about Kaoru. Fantasia agreed with him and carried the boy to the third door from the kitchen and laid him on the huge king size bed in the room. Fantasia looked at Battousai and said (do we really need a king size bed in the guest room?)

(Yes we do because who is to know when someone who stays here wants a big bed in the guest room.) Battousai said back to Fantasia. She stuck her tongue out at him and finish getting the boy comfortable in the bed and then she sat down in a chair next to the bed. Battousai looked at the girl and he knew that she was right about everything she talked about but her feelings where different from other people’s feelings.

She could care about nothing and other times she could care about everything. Battousai realized that he had met two people that amazed him. One was Kaoru because this girl no matter how hard he tries he can't stop from caring about her and even when he does say he doesn't care for her she stays and cares for him anyway. And the other was Fantasia because this girl has had her whole life taken away from her and stills find the time to be happy.

He knew two very strong women. One he loved and didn't want to admit he loved but couldn't now that he met her live without. The other one was someone he watched lose her entire family besides her sister because of him and yet she forgave him and has helped him ever since. Battousai had finally stop thinking about how much Kaoru and Fantasia were alike and wonder how every time he thought of someone else it came back to Kaoru.

Battousai was walking down the hall with Aoshi and he said "Aoshi have you seen Sora since he left after he caught that other human girl." "No, I haven't I wonder where he could be I figured he would be the first to run to Fantasia when she was screaming." Aoshi said back to him. Battousai looked at Aoshi and said "I am going to see if he will respond telepathically and if so I will tell him Fantasia is fine if he heard her screaming." Aoshi shook his head in agreement.

(Sora where are you didn't you hear Fantasia screaming well if you did she is all right.) Battousai said to him. Aoshi stood there with him waiting for him to give Battousai a response. Battousai looked over at him and said "he isn't responding." Aoshi looked over at the door of the guest room and then back at Battousai and said "we better go find him but not tell her he is not responding. Because if we tell her, it will only upset her more." Battousai agreed and they decided to start in the courtyard.

They ran down the stairs and out the door and went straight to the courtyard. "I'll take the right side and you take the left and we will meet back in the middle if we don't find him and go from there." Battousai said to Aoshi. Aoshi agreed and ran off. Meanwhile Fantasia was sitting with the boy when she got a strange message. (Help me please help me. I need you to help me. Won't you please help me) the voice said to Fantasia. (Who are you and why do you need help?) Fantasia said back to it.

(I can't tell you until you help me and only you can help me.) The voice said back to her. Fantasia sat there and she didn't know what to do because she had no idea who was talking to her. (How can I help if I don't even know who you are?) Fantasia said now really confused as to why this person was talking to her and how they even knew her.

(Back out in the courtyard) "Sora where are you Sora?" Battousai screamed while running through the maze. The same with Aoshi they were both screaming for him but they got no reply. Battousai turned a corner to find Sora laying on the ground and blood all over him. "No Sora. Sora get up you can't die Fantasia needs you I know she does! If she loses another person in her life, it will surely kill her!" Battousai said as he ran up to the body which wasn't even moving.

Battousai got up to the body and seen he was barely breathing and then he stopped. "No, you can't die. I said you couldn't die! Don't you dare die you better start breathing again come on breath!" Battousai said as he gave him mouth to mouth recessatation to make him breath again. Back in the guest room. "No no he can't be! No, he isn't! No, I won't believe it! No Sora can't be dead!" Fantasia said and she stood up to go see if she was right and fell down crying on the floor.

Kaoru and Misao heard Fantasia scream so they got off of Battousai's bed and ran out of the room. They ran to where they heard the scream and ran into the room to find Fantasia on the floor crying and seen a boy sleeping in the huge bed next to where she was crying. Kaoru ran up to her and said "are you all right and who is the boy." Fantasia didn't look at her or say anything. Kaoru decided that whenever she was said Misao was there to comfort her by giving her a hug.

Maybe a hug would work for Fantasia as well. Kaoru tried to hug Fantasia and tell her everything would be fine, but Fantasia moved away from her and said "leave me alone he is dead and there is nothing I can do the only thing I have to live for is my sister! But I will probably lose her to because my life is just that fuck up! Everyone I have ever gotten close to has left me!" Kaoru seen she was hurt and Misao said "who is dead the little boy right here?"

"No Sora he is dead." Fantasia said still crying. Kaoru walked over to where she had moved away from her the first time and this time she was able to try and comfort her. "That can't be true you seem to know Battousai really well and I am sure he considers you one of the close people in his life. Even though I don't know what close is to the Battousai." Kaoru said hoping that would comfort her some.

Meanwhile Battousai finally gave up on trying to revive Sora. He saw it was no use. Aoshi finally found the Battousai and seen he had found Sora. Aoshi saw that Sora was dead and knew that they would have to tell Fantasia sooner or later. Battousai picked up the body and carried it to the house. He walked in and walked to a room that was two doors from the back door and opened the doors to the room. It was full of coffins and Battousai put Sora's body in one and closed it.

"We will have the funeral for him as soon as possible." Battousai said as they walked out of the room. They walked down to the guest room and when they got there they could hear crying. They opened the door to see Kaoru holding Fantasia while she cried and Misao watching the sleeping but injured boy. Battousai walked up to Fantasia and said "you know don't you." Battousai sat down next to Kaoru and said "Kaoru can I talk to her alone for a minute."

Kaoru shook her head in agreement and stood up and walked over to where Misao was sitting staring at the beaten up boy. "Come on Misao lets get out of here and leave these two alone. I think if anyone can help her through this Battousai can." Kaoru said to Misao. Misao agreed with her and walked out the door. Kaoru followed her and looked back at the two before closing the door.

They stood outside the door with Aoshi and waited for the Battousai to come out or tell them it was all right to come in. "Fantasia you are going to be fine I know you will. You are to strong to let this bring you down so stop crying and deal with it." Battousai said to Fantasia. "You heartless bastard I loved him and that just doesn't go away because some tells you to stop! I am in pain and you can't even be half a man to try and say something that will help me get through it! You are the exact same now as you were when you killed my parents!"

Battousai listened to the hurt in her voice and knew she meant some of the stuff she was saying but not all of it. "But I forgave you for killing my parents I forgave you for every single thing you have done to me and yet even when you are being cruel I can't be mad at you! Why can't I be mad at you?"
Fantasia said to him and she finally had stop crying and was now sobbing. "I don't know why I have done some cruel things to you in your life but the one thing I notice was unlike me you can see that people won't always keep hurting you." Battousai said to her.

"Why did they kill him why did someone have to kill Sora? Is it some sick joke that someone wants to make my life hell!" Fantasia said still sobbing but it was turning more into sadden anger than just plain sadness. Battousai said "I don't know who killed him but I have a feeling it was the same person who hurt the boy right there. If it is then it just might be some sick joke but I doubt it." Fantasia smiled a little and said "thank you Battousai now if only you could be this open with Kaoru your life would be happier."

Meanwhile Sanosuke had finally returned with Megumi with him. "Where is this girl I am suppose to take a look at?" Sanosuke saw all the people at the guess room and recognized Kaoru and said she is right there. Well she must not have no more side effects to the sleeping gas Fantasia gave her. But I wonder why everyone is at the guest room." Megumi and Sanosuke walked down the hall to the guest bedroom.

"What is everyone waiting for? Wait a minute there is one more girl than there is suppose to be and it isn’t Fantasia who is she?" Sanosuke asked them. Aoshi said "Sora was killed and we are waiting for the Battousai to let us know that Fantasia is all right. This girl is another human she is a friend of Kaoru's and her name is Misao." "What how did Sora die and why did you and Fantasia bring her here?" Sanosuke asked upset that one of there own had been killed. "We don't know how Sora was killed and as for the girl it was Fantasia's idea to bring her and the Battousai agreed with her." Aoshi said as he walked off.

Sanosuke looked at Kaoru and said "how long has Battousai been in there?" Kaoru looked at him and said "not to long it didn't happen to long ago maybe 5 to 10 minutes ago." "Okay then I will wait here with you." Megumi looked at the girl and said "this is the girl I was suppose to see. It looks like she is okay to me well maybe a make over but we can't all be as beautiful as me." Megumi started to laugh while Misao and Sanosuke had to hold Kaoru back while she was saying "how dare you . . . " She was cut off by Sanosuke saying "everyone needs to calm down and wait to see if Fantasia is all right."

Kaoru and Megumi agreed with him and they both settled down. Meanwhile in the room Fantasia had finally stopped all emotion of being sad and was just sitting there in silence with the Battousai. But Fantasia couldn't stand silence so she said "Kaoru can tell you’re a lot different then you make yourself out to be." Battousai looked at her and said "what are you talking about she doesn't see what you can see." Fantasia said "you don't know anything sometimes do you she can see right through your mask."

Battousai stood up and said "No she doesn't she can't tell anything! You might think you know what she sees me as but you don't!" "Really then why is she wanting to help you! Why does she want to stay with you! She isn't like me, Aoshi, Sanosuke, and all the other vampires living in this house! No she cares for you and she knows you care for her! But you’re to stupid to tell her how you feel because of your pride!" Fantasia said as she also stood up.

Battousai just stood there and said "your right your always right why are you always right?" Fantasia looked at him and smiled and said "because it is just who I am and because I have the power to be right about everything I say is true." Battousai and Fantasia walked to the door and opened it to see everyone else standing there. "Hello Sanosuke when did you get back." Fantasia said as she walked over to Megumi.

"Hey Fantasia how are you feeling now. Are you feeling better?' Sanosuke asked her. "I am feeling better thank you Sano." Fantasia said to him. Megumi looked at her and said "I am sorry for your lose Fantasia." Fantasia hugged Megumi and said "thank you Megumi." Megumi hugged her back and said "your welcome Fantasia." Battousai walked off and Kaoru followed him.

Fantasia stood there after her and Megumi stopped hugging and said "there is a boy in here who needs medical attention would you please see to him." Megumi looked at her and said "If the boy needs medical attention then show me where he is!" Fantasia and Megumi walked back into the guest room. Sanosuke decided that he had no reason for being there so he walked to his room. Misao decided she would find Aoshi so she went to find him.

Meanwhile in Battousai's room he sat in one of his black chairs when Kaoru entered the room. She walked up to him and said “where am I to stay tonight? I mean which room am I to stay in tonight?" Battousai looked up at her and pulled her down into his lap. He looked at her and said "you can stay with me tonight if you want." Kaoru looked into his eyes and she could see both lust and love. She said "but where will you sleep." Battousai chuckled and started kissing her neck and Kaoru couldn't help but move her head for him to get better access.

Battousai said to her between kisses "I will be also sleeping in the same bed." Kaoru didn't know what to say her mind was hazy from what he was doing to her. She moaned when he moved from her neck up to her mouth where he kissed her softly at first not to scare her. Kaoru at first was rather shocked he was doing any of this but for some reason she didn't care.

Battousai wanted more so he licked her bottom lip to get more access and she allowed him it. Kaoru opened her mouth for him and Battousai started to exploring her mouth. There tongues battled for dominance neither one was winning. Kaoru wanted to know why she felt this way it was like nothing she had felt before. But they were stopped when Sanosuke walked in and said "Battou . . . oh sorry am I interrupting something."

Battousai stopped kissing Kaoru and looked his tall friend and said "yes you are but since you are here what do you want?" "I wanted to know if you found out who killed Sora?" Sanosuke said feeling a little guilty for walking in on them while they were getting to know each other better. He obviously didn't think this girl needed a make over.

"No, I haven't but I will be sure to find out as soon as I can." Battousai said to Sanosuke. Sanosuke shook his head and walked out. Kaoru got out of Battousai's lap and said "I will be sleeping in one of your many guest rooms." Battousai grabbed her wrist as she went to leave and he gave her one more kiss before she left.

Kaoru walked out of the room and down the hall but she felt really hot now and not because it was warm in the house no the Battousai had done this to her but she liked it. She didn't mind him doing it to her if she had to admit it she enjoyed it a lot and wouldn't mind him doing it again. Kaoru walked to the guest room Fantasia and Megumi were in and said "where is the other guest room?" "It is two more doors down." Fantasia said to her as she helped Megumi bandage the young boy up.

"Thank you well I will be going now." Kaoru said to them and she walked out of the room and down the hall to the room Fantasia said was the other guest room. She walked in and she fell in love with the room. It was dark blue and a hint of purple she knew she wouldn't mind sleeping in here tonight. Meanwhile, in the other guest room. They had gotten the boy properly bandaged. He had finally awoken. "Where am I?" the boy said. "You are at Battousai's mansion. I found you in his courtyard and brought you here to get you medical attention because you needed it. So what is your name kid?" Fantasia said to the boy.

"Don't call me a kid and my name is no of your business!" the boy said back to her. "Look here kid I am not having a good day I don't think you want to mess with me right now! Now what is your name!" Fantasia said back to the boy. "Y-y-yes. My name is Yahiko Myojin." Yahiko said a little frighten she might start yelling at him again. Fantasia stood up and walked out of the room. Megumi looked at Yahiko and said "don't worry about her she just lost one of the most important people in her life and now she is having to deal with it."

"Well did she have to yell at me?" Yahiko asked Megumi. "I don't think she did but you have to remember she just lost the love of her life." Megumi said back to him. Yahiko was sitting there thinking when he remembered the guy who saved him from the three men chasing him for stealing food. "Where is the guy that saved my life?" Yahiko asked Megumi. Megumi looked at him in question "What did the guy look like?" Yahiko looked at her and said "He had really weird color eyes silver I think an,,,," "Don't say any more I have to go. You stay here and don't leave this room you here me!" Megumi said cutting him off and she ran out the door.

Yahiko just watched her leave but he decided he would stay and he knew he was bound to get to the bottom of this. Meanwhile Megumi finally made it to Battousai's room and she ran in. "Sora was hurt while saving that boy he must have set the boy down and was walking to the house when he fell down and couldn't go any more!" Megumi said

Battousai looked at her and stood up and said "how do you know it was Sora!" Megumi said "because he said the person who saved him had silver eyes and the only person with silver eyes is Sora!" Battousai stood up and ran out of his room and Megumi just stood there and watched him. He got to the guest room and opened the door. "What do you know tell me everything?!" Battousai said Yahiko. Yahiko just looked at him and wondered what he was talking about.

Preview of next chapter: "Okay I will tell you everything but will you sit down." Yahiko said, Battousai said "Wait I want someone else to hear this."

Not to big of a preview but I don't want to spoil chapter 6.

(A/N) Well it may not be really really long but it is longer than the last chapter. I am sorry for any grammar errors there are.

(A/N) Well I believe Battousai showed his feelings for Kaoru don't you. I don't know if there will be a lemon in the next chapter but I will probably do two versions of the story one for Fanfiction.net without the lemon and one for mediaminer.org which will have the lemon if I write one but I don't know yet if I will. If y'all want me to write a lemon and post it on Fanfiction.net just tell me and I will but if y’all don't I won't write one.

So it is the reviewers choice y’all get to decide if a lemon is in the next chapter.

(A/N) Well I hope that you like this chapter so if you do please review my story.
