=============================

Spawn of the Vampire

Part II

Remembrance in the night

=============================

A bright light filled the school computer lab as a small group of five people rushed out through the only lit computer screen in the entire room, each of them screaming out in pain and annoyance as the landed in a giant heap on the floor, several arms and legs sticking out in different directions.

"Get your arm out my eyes."

"Hey, get that off."

"Sorry."

"TK get of my legs."

One by one, the five kids pulled themselves out the heap and stood up, once again dressed in their normal everyday clothes instead of their digitally chosen outfits. Closing the gate and turning off the computer, the youngest girl in the groups, also known as Kari Yagami turned around and yawned loudly. "Is it me, or do we spend more time fighting digimons then we do other things."

Leaning against the wall, Daisuke Motomiya, or simply Davis to his close friends snorted at the words from the brown haired girl. "Well, it was worth it, if we can stop Ken from harming more digimons then I'm all for staying up all night." Pushing away, he reached down and picked up his worn school bag and slung it over his shoulder.

Staring at the reddish brown haired boy with narrowed eyes, TK among friends picked up his own school bag and reached out a hand to pat Kari on the shoulder in a comforting manner. "Don't listen to Davis, we all know how you feel, it would be nice to get some sleep every now and then. "

Freezing at the doorway, Davis turned back and glared at the blonde haired boy, his anger clearly showing on his face thought the narrowed eyes as he did it. "So, are we just going to relax and let that jerk run free with his towers and rings, is that it TM?" The words had about as much warm in them as an ice cube had and each word carried a very sharp edge to them.

TK clenched his hands at the direct insult aimed at him from the other boy, and had to fight to keep himself from attacking the goggle wearing kid on the spot, behind them, the sound of the other three kids sighing and moaning at the prospect of another heated argument was clearly heard. "No Daisuke, I'm just saying that we need to relax every now and then, if we don't, we stand the chance of being too tired to fight an important battle."

Clutching his digimon closer to him as his own anger began to grow, Davis stared at the blond boy through narrowed eyes while trying to find a good comeback to the other boy, finding none, he settled for turned around and staring at the red haired boy stranding in the doorway, his eyes tired looking and nervous. "Izzy, what's up, did Ken take over another part of the digital World again?"

Shaking his head as he stepped in, the child of knowledge sighed and dropped down in a chair, his hands clutched together as he stared at the closed digital gate. "It's Mimi, she's been missing for a week, and so has Michael, I think they went to the digital world, but I'm not sure." Looking at the shocked expression on each of the kid´s faces, he sighed for a second time and ran a hand through his hair. "We might consider the fact that she has been captured by Ken, or someone else."  

-----------

She looked so beautiful at that moment, there could no doubt about it at all, the way her eyes were glowing with the knowledge that her sacrifice would somehow save her friends from their fate. But did it really matter, he had promised not to hurt them, that was the price for her turning, but he didn't have to, his master would dispose of them when he arrived back into the digital world.

Staring down at the delicate pink locks of hair and the pink mouth, he felt his heart beat a little faster, a show of emotions that he though he had buried so deep down inside of him so long ago. Still, this place wasn't right for her to wake up in, she deserved a more homely place, a less imposing room then his study. Kneeling down and pushing a lose strand of hair back, he eased his hands in under her body and slowly lifted her up into his arms. "Don't worry, I'll take care off you."

Leaving the room, he saw Blackgatomon staring at him with curious eyes, her tail twitching at the sight of the girl lying limply in his arms, her breathing still normal but her cheeks loosing a bit of it's color already from what she could see. "Taichi, did you turn her, does that mean you have chosen a queen to sit at your side?" Her voice full of pure happiness and her tail twitching from side to side to show it to him that she was glad for him.

Staring at his partner, the only who had truly understood him all those years ago, the one who had waited for him for so long, her life dedicated to helping no matter what, as long as he would stay her friend and partner. If anyone had ever been more deserving of his friendship then his old friend Sora, it was his digimon partner. "Yes, she's the one I've chosen."

Smiling and grooming herself at the same time, her blue eyes slid up to stare right into Tai's brown ones, her devotion and hopes for him showing clearly through the room. "Shall I have someone prepare a meal for you both tomorrow?"

Taichi looked at her and then smiled as he thought of the prospect of having a simple welcome meal with the girl, taking the time to inform her of what she was going to be doing as his mate and the new queen of the night. And prepare her for her meeting with the master, which would have to be done sooner or later. "Yes, tell the chef and servants that we'll be having the meal here in the study."

Nodding, Blackgatomon jumped off the armrest and began to walk over to the door, her eyes taking a closer look at the girl as she passed her partner and his mate. She looked nice and friendly, so the virus drink shouldn't have changed that too much, all she really has too was lose the pink hair color. Grabbing the side of the door, she pulled back on it and felt it open as she did. "Later Taichi." Running out through the door, she cast a curious look back to see her partner and best friend walk out of the door and set a course straight for the sleeping quarters in the castle.

Pushing open the door into the room next to his, Tai stepped in carefully holding his burden in both hands as he fumbled to turn on the light. Finding it after several seconds, he cast a look around the spacious room and nodded to himself, it was nice and roomy and it would most likely fit her tastes on decorations when she woke up to see it.

On the soft fluffy king sized double bed sitting in the very center of his chosen mate's soon to be bedroom, he softly deposited his coming queen, to make her coming transformation and awaking as pleasant as he could for her. Arranging her to lie in the best position as possible, he gave a faint smile and sat down next to her, watching the slightly painful expression in her eyes as she stared up at him, fearing for what he might do to her in her weakened state. Smiling as he saw her eyes flicker from one side to the other, he reached out a hand and pattered her soft brown hair. "Calm down, I won't hurt you. For now, I'm content with you at my side, as my queen of the night, I'll stay with you until the sleep hits."

For a long time, he sat there, soft holding hr hands and running a finger down her cheek, he sighed as he saw her eyes finally grew wary and close, showing that the true transformation was about to begin and at that moment he allowed a true and friendly smile to cross his face, it would be nice for once to have someone like himself by his side, someone who would return the feelings for her that he could feel grow with each passing second, feelings he would never admit to have if anyone ere to ask him. "Sleep well my dear, when you wake up, I shall return to see you again." Standing up from the bed, Tai took in her beauty, and felt something stir in the very depts. of his dark and cold heart, something other then the normal desire and wants he had lived with for the last year. Killing the emotion before it got out of hand, Tai continued towards the door mumbling out loud as he reached it. "Stupid, I have no emotions left."

Walking out the bedroom, he stared at the two Bakemons standing guard outside of it, his fangs glistered in the air as he faced them both, his eyes showing the promise of pain they would have to endure if they failed to obey him. "Guard her, do not let anyone into the room for the next day unless they have me permission, as soon as she wakes up you will tell me, I shall be in the study until then." Not waiting for them to respond, Tai spun around and walked down the dark corridor, then stopped and looked at the staircase leading down to the cells where he kept his digimon pets and food supplies.  

Slowly stepping down the winding stone staircase, he grinned as he began to wonder just which one of the prisoners he should drag out and drain for blood to celebrate his queen´s birth, or if he should give her another few mouthfuls of his own again. "Maybe I should find another digibrat for her to feed on."

The dungeon below his castle was dark, damp and cold the only light coming from a few smoking torches spread out along the wall, the perfect place to hide someone you didn't want to worry about anymore, it was a place well suited to break down the spirits of someone before the final decision as to their fate was made, and it was also here that he had kept her for the last week, his queen, it wasn't a fitting place for her, no, he should have placed her in a room next to his own, that would have been the only place that was fit for her, his Queen.

Walking down the rows of cells, he nearly laughed as he felt and heard the digimons imprisoned inside the small stone cells far below the castle run for their lives, trying to find a place to hide in their small cells in the hope that he wouldn't choose them for his next meal. It was sweet music to him; and with the feeling of fear that hung in the air as well, it became a drug to him, urging him to make it thicker and better every time he went down here. "Maybe a little torture show before the cells would increase it."

Stopping as he reached the cell he had been looking for, Tai smiled as he reached out and unlocked the door, bathing the inside of it in a faint light that could barely show the digimon hudderling in the corner of the cell properly. Stepping into the small room, he kneeled down to stare into the green eyes which looked back at him with a dimming defiance. "Palmon, can you feel it, the process that is turning your partner into the same thing as me?"

Glaring at him in anger, Palmon lashed out with her arms, only to feel the chains snap tight and pull them back, her vine tips trapped inside the heave metal gloves he had forced down over them when she had been placed here in the first place, ignoring the feeling of helplessness in her mind, she settled for staring at him in anger. "Why, what have we ever done to you?"

Staring at the digimon in amusement over the sudden boldness she had to ask him a question before he had given her the permission to do so, it was bold, and so like her human partner, maybe she would make a good partner for his queen after all, all she would need was a few good reasons and lessons as they why she should obey him. And as for her question, maybe he should indulge her and answer it just this once. "Why, you haven't really done anything to me, nor have Mimi or the blond boy. My reasons for it was a small thing at first, I just wanted to punish you all for entering my domain, then I recognized you and the girl as the ones who had helped destroy my friendship with my sister and Sora four years ago, and ultimately helped end my life."

Palmon blinked in confusion over the information the boy before he had given her, it didn't make any sense, who was this master he kept mention to her, then her eyes took in the boy before her more clearly as a mental image of a happy carefree boy with a pair goggles around his head flashed before her eyes. "You, you're Kari's..."

"Brother?" Smiling in a sick way, Tai stood up and shot the plant type digimon a look of pure coldness, his fingers moving over the fabric of his cape in a lazy manner. "Yes, and now I have the means for my revenge at last, my master will be most pleased when I bring him the keys to his triumph." Turning around to leave, he shut a look back at her, the eyes now blazing with a hidden threat. "You have a choice Palmon, continue serving Mimi as her partner and I will allow you to return to her." Staring at the shocked expression she gave him, he slammed the door shut with a loud bang. "I shall give you until tomorrow to come up with an answer."

Pausing as he reached the servants area, he opened the door and stared in at the group of digimons working inside the room. The group consisted of a mix of Floramon's, from the last raid in the forest zones and a few Gabumons captured in an attack on one of the few remaining free Digimon villages lying further towards the eastern parts and the Digimon Kaisers domain. As he walked in, he enjoyed the silence that fell, before all of them seemed to work even faster when it clicked that their master had arrived, but he wasn't here for that, he had to find the Floramon in charge of making and mending the uniform and capes he wore.

Finding her sitting at the back of the room working on the tears in his favorite cloak, he nodded an approval at how perfect she had gotten it to look, one couldn't see the places where the claws of a Gururumon had torn through it. Walking up to her table, he stopped and stared down at the freighted expression forming in her eyes when she notice he had stopped at her table. "Floramon, I want you to go up to the second master bedroom on my floor, there you will find a human girl, take her measurements and prepare a few dresses for her."

Bowing low as Tai stopped talking, she didn't dare look at his face, the last digimon to have refused to bow to down to the Dark Master in respect had become his meal, and just yesterday, the newly brought in Gabumon had dared to refuse a simple order to clean the study and had been flogged to Deletion in the courtyard as punishment and an example. And Floramon had learned to obey, for it meant surviving to live another day. "What color should the fabric be master?"

Looking around at the few scraps of cloth lying on the table and floor, he tried to see if he could remember what colors she had been wearing, all he could remember was how dirty the small shirt and skirt had become after a week in the darkest parts of his dungeon, but her hair, it had still been vibrant and clear pink, even if dirt and grime had been smeared into it when she had been dragged out to meet him, it would seem that color as her favorite, why else would she had colored her hair pink. "Make three pink ones, and two white ones for her."

Nodding at the command, she bowed one more time. "It shall be as you wish Master." Standing up and grabbing the stuff she would need, she signal two other Floramon's who rushed over and helped her carry it, picking up the last thing she would need, she turned back around from the table and bowed one last time to her master as she began to leave the room. "The first three should be done by tomorrow morning master."

Tai looked at them and smiled as he began to turn around, his fingers moving over the cape he warning. "Good, I shall be in the study, if there's a problem, don't hesitate to contact me, the girl means a lot for us all." Walking towards the door, he flung it open and left towards the upper parts of the main building.

Inside the room, the Floramon's and Gabumon's had stopped working at the last words and were looking at one another, amazement clear on each of their faces, it was the Floramon who had to make the dress that finally broke the silence. "He's chosen a queen." Nearly dropping her scissors and measure tape, she closed her eyes, she had never thought she would be alive long to see or even hear him talk about getting a queen since the only human's in the digital world was the digi destined and he was known to hold a deep hatred for several off them.

***************

Lying on the bed, mimi was scared as she could herself drifting between life and death, her body was rejecting the dark blood she had bben forced to drink from the brown haired boy's wrist, to stop the transformation into a vampire, but the body was losing, as it also had to deal with the loss of blood that Taichi had drained from her.

Struggling to move her arm or even blink her eyes was become harder, the desire to just let go overwhelming her as her breath became more ragged and short as her mind faded back and gave into the dreams hiding on the edge of her awareness. Pictures and sounds from her younger days flashed past her eyes, the image of her mother giving her the pink cowboy hat she had worn all the time she had been in the digital world, her father trying to teach her how to defend herself, even if she never paid him any attention and kept complaining until he gave up.

Grief filled her at the image of her friend Michael´s death at the hands of someone as in-human and cruel as Taichi, and the way the damn vampire had smirked when he told about the screams, and how he had died after a torture session, she thanked the gods that she hadn't been torture like he had, but she had seen when the Bakemon returned with him, how his hair was mattered with blood, the marks and cuts clear on his chest after the shirt had been too damage to hold on any longer.

The image of her cell in the castle's dungeon popped up as she remembered Michael, the simple wooded cot in the corner, the hole in the corner working as her bathroom, and the feeling of completely helplessness whenever the guards decided to have fun by blocking off the only light source into the cell, leaving her completely alone in the dark.

And finally there was Palmon, her digimon, the closest and best friend she would ever have in her life, would she be killed if she gave up and became the monster that Taichi seemed to want her to become, or would she simply mean nothing to her. {Palmon, I'm sorry, I'm trying to fight for your sake, for mom's sake, and for Dad's sake, but it's so hard to keep it up, please Palmon give me your strength.}

Slipping further into the darkness, she tried to scream as several nightmares flashed past her eyes, the loud pounding of her heart beat dying out in the background, signaling that it was almost completely over, then she felt a warm and pure feeling surge through her body, erupting into a glowing picture of her crest giving her a headache as a sudden and overwhelming pain rushed through her body, then it was over and her mind slipped away into the darkness.

**************

Sitting in the study, Tai stared at the digivices lying on the table before him, the strange dark orange color of his own with the black stripes snaking around it to hit the side of the small screen. Next to it was a small first generation digivice, a simple white one with a black screen and a clip to attach it to a belt. The sight of it filled him with a sense of discomfort, it stood for everything he had once wished for, and now he hated the sight of it.

It had happened so long ago, so very long ago before he had lost his family, his friends, and his life. He could still remember the day so clearly, Myotismon had tried to use him as bait to lure his sister and the other kids to the TV-station for a final battle with him, The sudden pain when the Vampire digimon had tossed him towards the edge of the roof as the finale minute the deadline had been passed. He could remember struggling to get up when the boot of the vampire digimon had knocked him over in time to be hit with the digimons attack across the upper part of his chest.

He had been hurt to the point of nearly dying, and had been coughing up blood as he lay on the roof, his hands trying to find a way to get him away from there, then the Bakemon's had dragged him away at their master's order when the digi destined had suddenly showed up, a single minute to late to save him. Even as the digimons had begun their battle for the world, his limp body had been dragged down the stair and dumped into the alley behind the TV station, no longer needed.

He didn't remember how long he had been there, bleeding from the wound in his chest, cold and numbness draining him of all emotions and sense of time, then he had felt a hand crawl over his body, lifting his head up from it place on the ground to face the blurred face looking down at him, and then, the words had been whispered to him in a strong and firm tone as a hand softly move the lose hair away from his forehead. "Do you wish to survive?"

He hadn't wasted anytime to think about it, his reaction had been straight from his heart as the words finally reached him and made his feel a small bit of hope. He had tried to move his hand, to grasp the other ones, but all he could do was mutter out a simple yes, a single word to show that he didn't want to die.

Looming closer to him, he had become aware of the purple hair and a set of purple eyes looking down at him, both of them looking so young, yet so old at the same time, as if they had seen the ages pass over the world. Then a hand had pushed his head to the side, exposing his neck and shoulder to the other person, a brief pain had flared up and then he had felt his body grow even more numb and cold.

"Drink!"

He had heard the word hissed at him from the person when he had drawn back as something warm tickled over his lips before he could feel a wrist force his lips apart and fill his mouth with a metallic and foul taste, every bit of him screaming that he should spit it out again, that what he was doing was wrong. But then he had forced to swallow it in order to breathe, sending the liquid down into his stomach where it spread out and sent a surge of strength through him and giving him a powerful kick.

He couldn't remember the next few seconds before the wrist had been torn from his mouth and death grip, a few of the warm and addictive liquid falling from his mouth. But what he could remember was begging for more, almost wanting to attack the other if he just move his legs a bit. But the power hadn't lasted long, and he had soon drifted off into a deep sleep, his mind trouble and blotting out the memory of that time. But he remembered waking up, his eyes looking into the dark roof of the place he was in, he could feel the soft silk sheets under his body and the soft blanket covering him and keeping him warm and safe, but even that couldn't stop the demand from his stomach as it began to growl out it's displeasure over it's lack of food.

Lifting his hand to pull back the blanket so he could sit, he had been shocked to see the claws on each of his fingertips, not bothering to removed the blanket, he had sat up and lifted both hands to his chest, the memory of the digimon attacking him and the feeling of dying, then his eyes was drawn away from it when he noticed the sky outside the window. A huge continent had covered it as far as he could see, only broken by an ocean stretching out in the direction of Kyoto. "Wha?" Then he had felt it at the back of his mind, someone was coming closer to him.

Even before the door into the room had opened, he had been ready to fight whoever it was, his hands held up to better use his claws in a surprise ambush on his unknown host, but his attack had stopped short when the door had been opened and a purple haired young man no older then 21 had stepped in, his eyes sparkling when he notice him standing by the window. For all of it, he would have looked just like any other person he had met in his life, he was wearing a sleeveless turtleneck and baggy dark blue jeans over white sneakers, but the slit purple eyes and the fangs sticking out over each of his lips ruined the image.

Trapped under his arm, a young girl with short bleached blond haired was struggling to get lose from the iron hold, her arm had been taped together around the wrist with brown package tape with a single strip planted across her mouth to silence her. Dropping her on the bed, he had grabbed both her legs and taped them together before Tai had even managed to blink.

Then the purple eyes had turned to face him again, the cruelty and evil hidden behind showing as he lifted a hand pulled the girl up by her hair so she could stare at him as well. "Drink." Pushing her towards the brown haired boy, Tai could only stare down at her with a confused expression before he had felt the hand pull him closer and press him down towards her neck. "Feed from her you moron, your body needs it to stay alive."

Looking down at the girl, Tai felt his canine teeth elongate and press against his lower lip as he was pressed closer to the girls neck by the other boy, and then a myriad of sense hit him, he could smell her blood through the skin of her body, he could hear her heartbeat as clear as if he was lying his head on her bare chest and he could feel the fear radiating off her was a drug to him, demanding that he try and find more of it. Closing his eyes and bathing himself in the emotions and feelings coming from her, he snapped his eyes open when he felt the girl go rigid under him and whimper as the taste of copper and iron filled his mouth along with a very welcome feeling of warmness  and satisfaction from himself.

Turning his eyes, Tai stared right into a pair of wide and scared brown eyes pleading with him not to kill her. And then he pulled back in a rush, every part of him screaming ut against it, leaving the two puncture marks on her neck and shoulder to continue gushing out blood as she fell back down onto the floor, her hair pillowing out on the carpet as she hit it.

Behind them, a pair of boots kept hitting the floor as the person walked up and placed his hand on his shoulder, giving it a proud and gentle clench. "She's not drained yet, and you still need more food." Reaching down past him, Tai couldn't see the purple eyes as they were hidden by the hair falling down around the face, pulling the girl up by the front of her T-shirt, the man pressed her neck back up to his mouth. "Finish her, unless you want her to die slowly."

Staring up at the man, his mouth forming a protest, Tai could feel a smirk coming from under the veil of purple hair, almost as if the person had read his thoughts. "I will kill her no matter what you do, and if you don't finish your meal from this one, I will have to bring back another one." Grabbing Taichi's hands, he left the girl in his care and walked back over to look out the window.  

Looking down on the girl, Tai closed his eyes to avoid seeing the scared look and the tears he could feel running down her cheeks, stoppping when they hit the hand holding her head. "I'm sorry." Twisting the head to side, he felt is teeth break through the skin again, drawing out the last of her blood, and into her mouth. In his arms, the girl body tense again, and slowly began to relax, the heartbeat fading and dying down until it was almost completely gone.

The sound of clapping from behind made him drop the body and growl, he could see the final moment of fear burned into the girls head, the way her hands had tried to lit up and get him away before he killed her. "You." Standing up, he could feel the blood of the girl in his stomach, sickening him and at the same time empowering him. "You Bastard." Turning and rushing forward, he slashed out with his hand, intending to use his claws to cut the many open.

Then he was smashed back and right into the wall of the room, his eyes snapping open from the force of the impact in time to see the hand grip his neck and lift him up and off the floor, the cold eyes from the purple haired man glaring up at him as the other one curled up and smacked into his stomach, sending a wave of pain through him. "Boy, I saved your life, I took you in as my first spawn, and this is how you repay me." Flying through the room as the hand tossed him away with no problems at all, he felt a table break under him when he landed on it. "Face it, you gave yourself willingly, with no regret, nothing can change that, and as my first, you will do as I say."

Looking up from his pace on the floor, Tai felt his anger still glowing inside of him, but so did a more powerful feeling of self loathing, the man was right, he had given in to the darkness, just so he could live one more day, and now, he was a monster, no better then Myotismon or any other evil digimons that his sister had spoken about. "Who are you."

Smirking as he stepped closer, the man kneeled down and pulled Tai up to his feet before he let go and pattered his head like he would pat a dog or cat, the feel of it making Tai burn with anger. "My name, well I had one at a time, just as I had a mother, father and a sister like you." Turning around to stare down at the girl, he shook his head and sat down to look into the eyes of her. "But that person no longer exist." Grapping the blond haired girls head, he gave it a sharp jerk to the side, filling the room with the sound of a bone breaking. "There, that should keep them from asking to may questions." The last part was aimed at the girl as he stood up and dumped her down on the bed, and then he looked at Tai. "Ah yes, you wanted my name, well, why don't you just call me..."  

Sitting up straight in his chair, Tai shook his head and dismissed the memories just as fast as they had sprung up. It wasn't good to dwell on the past too much, it left the chance that the weaker emotions and feelings of a simple human could take over, and he did not need that so close to the completion of phase one of the plan. Sinking into the softness of his chair, he grinned as his eyes wandered around his study, the paintings, books and furniture all looted from around the digital world, but while this floor of the castle was his, it was nothing in comparison to the floor above, the place where his master would be living once they he had arrived and finished his conquest of the digital world.

Yawning a bit, Tai cast a look over towards the curtain keeping the sun light out from the room and snorted. It wasn't that the sunlight hurt him, he just preferred to stay in the shadows and watch his pray screw up. And it gave an added fear bonus when the pray could only see a dark Silhouette of him when he attacked.

Standing up from the chair, he picked up both digivices and walked over to the door, his eyes staring at the simple white colored first generation digivice with a bored expression the whole time. "Better keep a close guard hand on this one, at least until she accepts what she has become." Shutting the door behind him, he turned and walked down the hallway, passing the empty rooms and guards room, finally reaching the elegantly carved wooden door, his sign of courage high above it, and next to his room, the wooden door leading into his queens room was still closed with guards posted outside off it. "Wake me up when the sun sets, I want to be there when the last part of transformation takes place."

The guards bowed as the door closed and the lock clicked shut behind him, then silence filled his ears as he stared around his room, spacious, it had a soft red carpet on the floor, a sinlge vanity mirror and a chair, a window leading out into the cool morning air and right in the center near the back wall, stood the most important thing inside his little room, a large king sized double bed with a thin veil around it, shrouding whoever lay on the thin silk sheets and soft mattress in an illusion of a thin fog.

Smiling as he spotted his faithful friend and partner Blackgatomon sleeping near the foot of his bed, he walked over towards the vanity mirror, pulling off his cape on the way and dropping it over his chair, then he pulled off the dark blue jacket and dropped it as well, leaving him in just his pants as he stared at himself in the mirror for the second time that day. Staring back at him, a pale looking young man no older than 14 years old stood completely still as his eyes ran over him, finally settling first on the crest around his neck, it light only shinning when he was alone to show that he hadn't forgotten his inner virtue completely, then they reach the point between his neck and shoulder and stopped a thin mark from two teeth clearly seen near his shoulder, a clear reminder of what he had given up just to live. "Master is right, I am a foolish half mortal who can't forget the past." Pulling off his pants and dropping them on the floor as well, he walked over to his bed and pulled back the upper silk sheet and crawled down under it, giving a real smile at his partner when she looked up at him. "Sleep well... BlackGatomon."

**************

Light brown eyes blinked as they the opened once again to stare at the world again; the pain that had been running through her body before she passed out had faded away enough for her to think normally again. Sitting up in the bed, she noticed that her attire had been changed while she had been asleep and that she was now wearing a pink low cut dress that showed off her curves.

Slowly standing up, she stared across the room and right into the small mirror sitting on the desk in it. Her eyes growing wider each moment at what she was seeing, her face looked the same and her body likewise, if one ignored the small claws on her fingers and the fangs in her mouth. Dropping back down on the bed, she didn't hear the door open as Taichi stepped in and stared at her, his smile reaching his eyes, as he looked her over.

"Welcome Mimi, my queen of the night."

Gasping a the voice, Mimi turned around to find herself staring right into the brown eyes of Taichi, a smile lighting up his face as he lifted up one of her hands and planted a kiss on it. "I trust that you like your new clothes." At the sudden fire in her eyes, he grinned and waved a hand over at the corner where the other dresses were placed. "Relax, the Floramon's changed you not me. Your old clothes have been placed in storage for the time being."

Glaring up at him, Mimi felt her hand curl up into a fist, then she lunched herself off the bed and smacked it into the smiling face as hard as she could, taking a small feeling of satisfaction at the shock and unprepared look on the vampire boys face, then her expression turned into a puzzled one when the boy's head snapped back from the force, a drop of red liquid flying through the air.

"You, you dare to hurt me." Fixing a death glare at her, he smiled and lifted a hand to cup her face. "Truly, just like I once tried to do to my master, only he didn't give any second chances."
