A Vampire's Love

[Keiko Nihara]

Keiko lay in the hospital bed pale and cold. Warming blankets were tossed over the young girl that lay in the middle of the large bed. Guaze around her neck that had been bleeding from the bite. The nurses could not figure out why in the world a vampire would bite a girl and then ask them to help her. Mostly they drained, changed or left them. But this one hadn't left this girls side it was obvious that there was something there. They had closed the shutters to keep the sun out of here and turned on some low lighting for him and in case she had changed for her too.

Blood was being pumped into her body via a IV in her arm. EKG beeped with her heart beat that was still too slow but her blood pressure was coming up with the influx of blood. The nurse came in and checked on her. She smiled at the way he loomed over her. She wasn't sure what had happened but the look of worry on the vampire's face was enough.

"Would you like anything sir, while you wait? We have a blood bank here if you would like some, or perhaps food. Anything really at all feel free to ask. The young miss might be out a bit longer. She lost a severe amount of blood." she said softly in her quiet voice as she checked the girls pulse that was starting to pick up.

"Ahh our little miss is getting better allready." she said softly with a soft smile.

[Train Volaere]

Train was mad. No he was beyond mad. He was fucking pissed. Heavy footsteps were heard as the Rocket Alchemist in his full glory was coming into the place. He already heard what had happened to Keiko. He wasn't feeling good as is and they he heard the devastating news that she was in the hospital wing because of a vampire. Because of some damn vampire she was in the hospital wing. He was able to go to Keiko's room as her roomy and he withdrew a scroll and snapped it open drawing his rocket launcher with two modifications. For one it had two large crosses on either side of the weapon and for two he had loaded it with silver shells. Train's own gold cross was hanging openly on top of his shirt as he burst into the room and took one look at Keiko. He snapped the arming switch and leveled his weapon.

At him.

"You son of a bitch," Train whispered in a shaking voice the nurse was against the wall trying to stay out of his firing line having already checked on Keiko. Train only had interest in one person though and that was this cloaked-figure. His current fucking status was not good as Train glared at him with rage-filled eyes. Keiko the girl he felt a crush on, the girl who he had been worried over, the girl who had promised that she would be right home was now in a medical bed. All thanks to this damn bastard. Oh he knew that Keiko had been drained of blood that had been told his mind toggled vamp from the off comment the messenger had chortled over a someone getting a face burn from a few seconds of sunlight. Train's weapon was steady no matter how fast someone was a preemptive shot would almost always hit and Train had his gun level.

"Give me one damn reason not to splatter you on a wall for hurting HER!" Train yelled none of the staff approaching as the rocket alchemist took one step into the room his combat boots making the sound of death this time as he knew he wouldn't miss. The shells were loaded with silver and silver nitrate. Silver Nitrate was perfectly harmless to people but, to a vampire? It's the equivalency of hell.

"I swear one wrong move and I won't bother asking, damn vampires are all the same. Taking what doesn't belong to them and assuming that it's all okay. Killing people and draining people hah it doesn't matter to those fiends they take sick amusement in it all," Train said in an angry voice. Oh yes he had encountered vampires before. He learned to hate them. The soul-less bastards were going to pay for this.

"Hurting Keiko...is inexcusable. She is an innocent girl whose cheerful personality is like the light of day to people. She's able to take serious things and change them into something that you can give a smile and laugh at. The first day she was assigned to Dormitory 42 I found my mood lightened and she even had me laughing. Something like that is rare for someone to be able to easily do that. To anyone who dares hurt her they get my wrath. Keiko’s a sweet girl, she always helps people and can be taken advantage of…” Train said softly as his tone went hard again. “This is why I made a promise when she had me smiling and laughing like when I was younger. Should anyone ever hurt her I would deliver pay back in spades. And guess what? Pay back is a bitch with me involved.”

[Vlad]

"No, nothing for now, thank you."

He whispered as he stayed hidden. Even with the shades drawn he wasn't going to be out from under his cloak. His eyes were red with tears, fresh and old. He was watching over the small girl like a hawk, he wasn't letting her go anywhere, wasn't letting anyone but a nurse touch her. His cheek was still burned and he would have a scar, something rare for vampires. It would run from the top of his left eye to the base of his jaw.

He soon heard someone come in the door, his eyes raised from Keiko, to a huge gun he had never seen before. His eyes widened a bit and he was inf rotn of Keiko before the man spoke. When eh did speak it seemed THIS was the man from earlier. If this is what friendship meant Vladamir didn't want a single friend for his entire life. Pointing a highly lethal weapon not only at Vladamir but at Keiko. She was still unconscious and here this guy was trying to blow them to bits. Vlad let out a feral growl and let sand collect around him. If need be he could at least get he sand up in time to protect Keiko.. he would die.. she would live.

Soon the man began to ramble on about how hurting Keiko was inexcusable, about how what he was was nothing but a menace. Another growl, this time it was lower, almost inaudible. His hands were spread to either side, protecting Keiko's fragile frame. His eye weren't red, he was in control. He wanted this guy to leave, NOW. He was threatening Keiko by pointing that THING right at them.

"Why?! Why should I give you a reason?! Because I care about her, and if you pull that trigger then not only will you kill me you'll kill her. IF you haven't noticed she's right behind me, and pulling that trigger would mean that we die. And how DARE you claim that I hurt her on purpose. She helped me when I was hurt. She surrendered her blood to me so I could live. She almost gave her life for ME. You don't think I know what that means? HUH?!"

His hands stayed out, should she wake up he'd be right here. He wasn't about to leave her, not even if it meant his death.

[Train Volaere]

Something hit the ground that Train had removed from his neck already focusing his energy he tapped his foot on it and there was a full-scale wall between Vlad and Keiko. Already there made of an unknown metal as Train took his aim. Vladimir was cut-off from using Keiko to stop his shot. Because he sure as hell wasn't going to miss. The vampire was growling like the beast that it was that's right it was a beast incapable of understanding the complexity of human emotion. Treating them like cattle for their own sick amusement. They couldn't fall for humans because in the end the human dies or they move on to a younger individual if they don't change them into vampires. Then the interest they have in people is gone. Tch, these bastards had to die. The whole lot of them had to die. Train didn't approve of a damn vampire.

"You think I'm that stupid you son of a bitch?" Train said softly as he pulled a trigger and a rocket wooshed out slamming into the wall right near Vladimir's head covering the wall in silver and silver nitrate and or course possibly Vladimir. There was a cachink noise as a new rocket slammed home from the breeching chamber Train having more then enough rounds to kill this vampire. He gave a smirk when he saw the vampire was effected by his words that cold-hearted son of a bitch. Trying to play the innocent card? It didn't work on Train. Like hell it did. He tapped the ground with his foot again this time

Another cachink noise Train still had his sites trained on the vampire. Still had his sites on that bastard.

"I don't believe you. You vampires are all the same thinking humans are nothing and you are the superior being. Thinking that humans are your fun little cattle to keep you amused. You breed us for your sick whims, you hunt us for the perverted joys, and you kill us for your dark creed. And when you do immerse yourselves you use your damn powers to manipulate the girls and make them think that they're in love. So that way you can have a snack at your beck and call." Train snarled as he remembered the mission during his time with the D-13. A vampire cult. It was a sickening sight that been burned in Train's brain. His gold cross was on full display as he gazed at the vampire.

"You don't understand self-sacrafice you just glee over any blood that is given to you. You tricked her into giving your blood. You're the one responsible for Keiko's condition. Don't give me that half-lined bullshit that she did it willingly when you vamps on the academy are supposed to have blood packets already available. You don't need the blood of innocents." Train snapped.

"You're just like that bastard For'zen." He whispered. A personal grudge? Train had been on missions in his time with the D-13 he wasn't always in R&D. Oh yes he remembered that mission still and that cost that it left. A perpetual hatred and fear of vampires for what they could do to others. For the sick perversities that they had. Would he kill in front of Keiko? Yeah...she would see the ugly side to him. What it meant to be in the military. The cost it had on his innocence. It would be an instant death. The splash radius on these two shells were much higher. He fired them straight at Vladimir this time not a purpose miss straight at the vampire he fired both shots.

[Keiko Nihara]

Keiko stirred slightly behind Vlad. She opened her small silver eyes she still felt real bad right now but she would be okay in the end. She didn't feel any different from before aside from weaker from the blood loss. Does that mean she was still human? She reached up softly and touched her neck it was bandaged so she couldn't feel the bite.

But it was then she concentrated on the room around them and then she heard Train and Vlad coming to blows over her. She knew that it probably would have happened eventually but she didn't think Train would bring such a big gun. She sighed softly and went to speak but couldn't find her voice her throat was dry at the moment and so she watched.

Watched in utter horror as Train said some things to Vlad. She hadn't waken in enough time to hear if Vlad had said anything too but right now she was concentrating on keeping two people she cared most for alive. Train shot a warning shot and the silver pooled down the wall. She gasped as her eyes widened in understanding. He was.. gonna kill.. Mr. Vampire!!!!

As Train lowered his weapon for the final blow Keiko as weak as she was went into action. Her fingers barely twitched but in her heightened emotional state the papers from her chart and the papers in the picture frames around the room came to her beck and call. Papers from the office on the other side of the door slipped in underneath the crack of the door and the floor to join in this defense.

The paper came up and formed a wall between Vlad and Train hardening to near steel capabilities. She also sent some to cap Train's gun as now it would not shoot those two shots at all.

Keiko's eyes closed again as if she hadn't done a thing. Her body had not moved and her hands hadn't either. They would probably not know she had woken but she had. Still was. She could hear everything that was going on. Train might feel betrayed but she wanted no blood on hers or their hands. No blood. She cared for them both and Mr. Vampire was right.. she had sacrificed herself for him.

[Vlad]

Vladamir's eye's widened as a sher wall came between him and Keiko. He clawed at it, even punched it once but nothing did any good, this guy was going to DIE. He didn't have time though, he heard the man say he wasn't that stupid and a loud boom erupted in the room. Silver plastered over the wall an across Vlad's face. He screamed, loud enough to cause the nurse to cry. He hit the ground hard, his body already feeling the effects of silver on it. He screamed, and screamed, and screamed, he couldn't top it. The silver was melting threw his flesh. He finally let tears leak from his eyes, he was dying, he was going to die. The man was going to kill him right in front of Keiko, he would never hear her sweet voice. He would never taste her sweet, cinnamony blood again. They would never share a quiet night in front of the fireplace. His love was going to be in vain. His love would lead him to death. He was ready to die for her though, ready to let her know he was willing to give himself for her, as she had him.

"Please.. don't."

He murmured out as he let tears leak down his face. Some mixed with silver and loud hiss would follow as they were boiled into steam.

"Ahhh!"

He screamed out one last time as he reached up. He literally ripped part of his face off, the silver pulled off most of the skin there, leaving not only muscle but some bone to. He screamed more, threw the silver flesh mixture into a wall an sat against the wall behind him. He couldn't hear the man now, his mind was pumping with adrenaline and endorphins trying to kill the pain. He clenched his teeth an growled again, he would kill this man KILL HIM.

Two more shots were ready to go, Vladamir closed his eyes and went silent, this was it. He left his eyes closed and readied himself, he was going to die, going to be ripped in two by a lethal dose of explosives and silver. He was ready... wasn't he? He didn't know... he was just glad Keiko would survive to live another day... maybe she would remember her one day with him,, that one magical day.

... Nothing... nothing came. He cracked open one eye to see a wall of paper, of random paper. His eyes opened fully and he smiled, almost chuckling to himself.

Keiko... thank you my dear.

Vladamir slid up the wall as three blood packets flew across the room to him. He opened them and drank all three quickly but found himself on the floor again son after. Silver had leaked into his blood stream and he was being poisoned slowly and painfully. He groaned in pain as a nurse finally came over to treat him and make sure he was OK. She looked over at Train and shot him a glare that could kill before she called for another nurse. Together the two of them managed to help him to his feet and get him to a bed, where they immediately began to pump any blood they could into him.

ADMINISTRATOR INTERVENTION

The following has been debated and agreed upon.

-Keiko has the right to RP security and anyone in charge of healing, at this point, to tend to both you and Vlad.
-Train is also injured, from the point blank shot, from the following shrapnel, resulting in damage to a large piece of shrapnel in his arm (-3 Endurance, -1 Dexterity).
-All walls have been destroyed due to the missle.
-Vlad is near dead, but not dead, as he tore off part of his face, throwing away the contaminated part as quickly as he possibly could.
-The 'metal paper' that Keiko made was penetrated, but was only enough to deflect the attacks partially, hence why Vlad is still alive.
-Vlad is in no condition to fight back.
-(To Train) You're in an infirmary, so, RP or not, your actions will be condoned by all the NPC's there, and, being a place of healing, undoubtly Vlad himself will now be taken to the E.R, as the blood he drank would only be just barely enough to dilute the small bits of poisons that have probably entered his blood stream. The more blood he drinks, the better off he'll be, but, he'll suffer... perhaps a -5 to all stats for being poisoned.
-*Reiteration of above*: Silver Poisoning: -5 to all stats for 2 weeks real time. 1 week, if treated right away by infirmary real time.
-(I reserve this right for myself) Should anymore mishaps of 'fighting' continue in the RECOVERY WING.. I will personally step in as one of my teachers/staff characters.

*Summary*

Vlad:
-Silver Poisoning
- -5 All stats until treated or waited out, as mentioned above.
-Will heal without help by December 28th.
-Will heal with help by December 12th.

Train:
-Broken right arm (CANNOT USE for 15 days, meaning December 20th)
-With infirmary, will recover in 11 real time days (meaning December 15th)
- -3 Endurance, -1 Dexterity

[Vlad]

OOC: Thank you Helper ^^. I will gladly abide by those above rules and modify my post in order to fit your rules. I will be taking the negative 5 for two weeks, I really wanna just close this out...

[Train Volaere]

Train shifted for a moment and was against a wall. Firing his weapon at close-range like this was one of the nastiest risks he had ever made. His arm was broken not exactly a clean break either it was healable but, right now he hissed out in pain. The silver had came at him in slow motion in Train's blind anger he had got himself hurt. Silver now imbedded in his arm in a gruesome way coming out the other end and keeping arm rigid in a way it should never be. Anytime he tried to test it he only hissed in pain as he slid to the floor. He had made a killing shot...a killing shot...was it right...was who he did it for all worth it? He smacked that thought aside he would willingly risk everything for Keiko. Had the sharpenal came at him in any other angle he could have been likely be dead.

"...." he was speechless in that moment since he couldn't see the judgement that Keiko had. He really had gone off the deep end this time. What the hell was he trying to prove in that moment? Those tears and that beg of mercy from the vampire only moments ago caught his attention. Yet that was ruined when he saw that black glare. So the bastard had only been trying to trick him in that. The sick bastard tried to trick him. His bazooka he grabbed with his left arm and slowly pulled it towards him. He withdrew a scroll from his pocket and unrolled it carefully being tricky with only one hand. Touching the scroll he touched the weapon with his foot and it was gone into the scroll. Train rolled it up as best as he could before putting it away. He leaned forward for a moment picking up his medallion and putting it on again.

Why?

Why had Keiko defended Vlad? Why had she tried to save him? What the hell was going on?! He looked down for a moment as the blood slowly trickled out of the impaling injury the silver ironically preventing bloodflow at the moment. His right lower arm had already gone numb he couldn't even get any twitch from his fingers right then. It was a nasty injury Train knew his arm was out of commission for several days at least. He didn't move right then as he was numb. Numb with shock. Betrayed? He didn't know...he didn't know why Keiko did it...
