Prologue
My real name is not known to anyone but myself.
And even to you I will not give it.
But I would like to be called Akitachi.
My name is Japanese and its an
unusual name. ( Aki, Autumn/ ta, eru, it's die out, end/
and chi is blood) It's plain and simple. My name is part of my story,
but the rest will soon unfold.
Chapter 1
It was an autumn day.
The breeze was not to hot, but not to cold. My favorite time of the year. I was waiting outside my cabin. Some 300,000
years ago.
I can hear you now, in your house. Were ever you are. Asking yourself, โWhy 300,000 years ago.โ Well that is because I was born at that time. But I am now part of the twenty-first century. I'm a Vampire. A demon of some sort.
Well anyway. I was waiting for a friend.
His name was Doku, (means: heartbeat).
I had been waiting for him to return from a long hunting trip.
The hunting trip lasts for five days. And today is the fifth day.
While Iโm waiting, I smell the boiling stew in the womanโs pots
around the village. The woman and the girls of the village
are making a welcome home stew, for the men.
I don't cook with them, because I can't.
I ignore my mom so she couldn't have taught me. And
The children mothers are scared of me, and some of the children are too. So I really can't learn from anyone.
Finally I got tired of waiting and decided to go inside.
She opened the door, and was about to go in when she heard
horses. She slammed the door and started running towards the
gate. She ran fast.
My long black hair went to my waist, but now it was
swinging all over the place. I had
to stop a couple of times to wipe the hair from my face.
When I got to the gate I found Doku riding on a black horse. He was the same age as me,
156 New Moons (13 years). But Doku looked older than she did.
Which was odd.
She notice that there was no more horses.
โI'll ask Doku later.โ She whispered to herself.
As she moved closer to him she notice that he had a lot of
cuts, and the blood had covered most of his body.
She moved closer to Doku, and slid him off the horse carefully and delicately. He moaned. Personally it pains me
to see him like this.
โDoku?โ I whispered in his ear. I lifted my
head to see if anyone heard the horse. No one, not a single human being. I looked back at Doku and started shaking him
and crying, โDoku! Doku! Doku wake up!โ I heard him moan
again so I stopped shaking him and he stopped. So I started again.
Shaking, yelling and shaking, more yelling.
Finally he lifted his head and said, โShut up and let me sleep.โ
He slumped his head again. I continued, shaking, yelling,
shaking, yelling.
Then he lifted his head and stared at me with his calm
green eye's. They were different, they were intense, calm
and alluring. All at the same time.
I stared at him for what seemed like minutes.
He looked away and slumped his head in my lap.
I shook him again.
He jerked and grabbed my hand. It wasn't in a threatening
way but calm.
While lifting his head he said, โAki,โ was what he called me
โwill you take me to the abandoned stable so I can talk to you.โ
โOK.โ I nodded. I helped
him up. He was half walked and half dragged to the abandoned stable. As we entered, I took in our surroundings
I noticed that there was nothing but Hey in the stable.
I laid him down on and uneven pile of Hey.
He breathed in deeply.
โDoku what happened to the others?โ I asked as I looked into his eye's, I knew something bad had happened. But he only shook his head. My eye's filled with tears.
โDoku...Please tell me what happened.โ
โAki?โ
โYes?โ I answered hopefully.
โIf you will stop crying I will tell you.โ
I nodded and wiped the tears away.
โOK. Yesterday about mid-afternoon, we were traveling
the west path when we were all of a sudden attacked.โ
He looked at me with pity.
โAki I really don't know what attacked us but
everyone was dead. And when I awoke I was the only
one alive. Then someone or some thing knocked me out.
And I awoke with cuts, on a horse, with you yelling at me.โ
I blushed. โI'm sorry.โ
โNo need for you to apologize.โ He smiled at me, and even his
smile was alluring.
I sat beside him and gave him a hug.
โI'm just happy you're still alive.โ
He doesn't answer but soon comes a reply. He jerks
violently and I feel a sharp pain enter the left side of my neck.
Something was rolling down my neck! I want to scream but I couldn't, my mouth was to dry. And then who would come? I have lost all connection to the villagers.
Fear stirs up inside me. As I was going into shock, I suddenly went numb. My eyes went wide, then I was overcame by darkness.
Chapter 2
I awoke in a dark room, lying on a bed.
โHello? Is anyone there?โ My voice shook.
โGood morning Aki, it's nice to see you awake.โ I
could feel his eyes on me.
โUh, who are you? And how do you know my name?โ I asked.
โDo you not recognize my voice?โ I thought for a second.
I shook my head. Remembering that it was dark I said,
โNo I do not.โ
โAh, Aki, that hurts, that really hurts.โ
โSorry, but really who are you?โ Eager to learn who this stranger was.
โI am Doku.โ He replied.
โDoku? Than what is my real name?โ I don't really believe it's Doku.
โYou never told me your Real name.โ I could feel him smiling.
โFine then,โ He was really making me mad. โTell me how old I am.โ It was my turn to smile, only me an Doku knew how old I was.
โYou are 156 New Moons.โ
โOh!! You really are Doku!โ I jumped
up to give him a hug, but I soon felt weak. I laid back down.
โCalm down Aki, your body still needs to get used t-.โ
โGet used to what?โ I was dieing to know.
โYour body still needs to get used to being dead.โ
I take back the dieing to know part, โHow can I be dead but still be talking to you?โ
He only nodded.
โHonestly I don't really now. He never explained it.โ
โWho? Who never explained it?โ
โI'm sorry but I didn't tell you every thing that happened. After we were attacked a boy about 216 New Moons (18) came to me as I laid distressed and asked me a very important question. Which you had no choice over, And that is life or death. He had asked me if I wanted to live or die a like a human. I couldn't leave my best friend behind so I chose
life. He had bit my neck and I blacked out.
โOh really? How come you couldn't just tell me?โ
โWell. Because I, Because you, Because your my best friend, and I love you...
Like a sister.โ The last statement I wasn't so sure of.
โSo anyway whats with the room being so dark?โ I asked.
โIt is so we do not burn in the sunlight.โ He sighed annoyed.
โWh-โ He interrupted me.
โBecause if the sunlight touches our skin we would turn to
ashes.โ He said.
โDoku? Are there any candles?โ I asked. After a couple of minutes he responded by standing up and moving around. Finally I heard a candle being lit.
โThat's better Doku, thank you.โ
โYour welcome Aki.โ He smiled.
โWhy are you smiling so much?โ
โI don't know why. But Aki you really need to get some sleep.โ
โOk.โ I laid back down and closed my eyes. I could feel his eyes on me. Which made me uneasy.
I sat up. โDoku?โ He turned his head to me.
โYes?โ
โI can't sleep.โ He got up and moved towards me.
โDo you want me to lay with you?โ
I nodded.
He sat next to me, I laid my head in his lap.
I began to fall asleep. Doku pushed a piece of hair out of my face, and kissed me on my forehead.
And said, โSleep well Aki, I love you.โ I nodded, not catching the last part. As I drifted off to a peaceful sleep.
Chapter 3
As I slept I dreampt. The dead do dream or well
the undead does. I dreampt about my mother and my father.
Those years of family fun, watching the Sakura trees lose and regain its peddles. And I remember when me and Doku first meet.
I was running into the forest, my mother and father had been fighting.
And that had made me so mad that I screamed and screamed until my head hurt.
As I entered the forest I ran everywhere. Left, right, straight.
And when I stopped my vision was blurred with tears.
โHello?โ A young boys voice had said. I wiped furiously at my eyes.
โWho are you?โ I looked at him. He had dark black hair like mine, and his eyes were a dark green and he was pale. Every feature was almost the same as mine. The only thing different was his gender.
โMy name is... I don't think I can remember my name.โ
He looked very confused, so I know he was telling the truth.
โWell, my name is Akitachi. And I think I'll call you Doki, do you want to know what it means?โ He nodded.
โIt means Heartbeat or fast moving,โ I smiled.
โDo you like it?โ
โYes!โ He smiled. โI like that name a lot.โ
โGreat, are you lost Doku?โ
โI think so.โ He said.
โWhere's you mother?โ I asked.
โI don't think I have one.โ Was his answer. I thought that since he had no Mother than he probably doesn't have a Father either.
Maybe I should invite him to come and live with me.
Yes I thought, that is what I shall do.
โDoku? Would you like to live with me and my family?โ I nodded to my self, appreciating my own idea.
โUh, would I be of a burden to you?โ He looked as if he was about to cry. I shook my head. I grabbed his arm and pulled him into a hug. After a couple of silenced seconds, I held him at arms length and said, โ Don't worry you will not be a burden.โ
โReally?โ His face lit up.
โYup and you could even become my best friend.โ
โOk? Promise me Doku that we will always be best friend.โ He nodded.
โYes.โ He said. โForever and always.โ He smiled, I tilted my head and laughed.
โForever and always.โ We walked home hand in hand, still laughing.
The next few years were the best. We went exploring and played games. But I noticed that we never really made conversation with other children, we would completely ignore the children. And over the years my family grew apart until only me and Doku had a connection. My parents did not die its just that I didn't want to be with them. They just argued to much.
