Part 6: Child of Cain

Cain wants a child, Shido discovered when the first night with Omi started, he wanted something that was dependent, unable to break away from him. The boy's yellow eyes were tearing over with blood, not from pain much less than that, it was more along the lines of the fact the boy was afraid of what he was.

Omi's coffin was next to Shido's and for some reason the boy wouldn't sleep in there by himself. Shido heard the faint tapping on the lid and lifted it to see Omi standing over him looking afraid, he was holding an old stuff animal that Manx had dropped off. "I'm scared," the boy whimpered and crawled in with him.

This was going to take time, and time was not on his side, Aya demanded that Omi be put back with Weiss, but it would be impossible. The boy wasn't ready and still the boy had the mentality of a nine year old child, Cain's damage to the boy's mind was extensive, not even the telepath from Schwarz could make any head way in this and it frustrate him.

Schuldich sat on the floor with Omi who was coloring in a coloring book, the child's large yellow eyes were on the picture. "Alright, Omi, are you paying attention?" Schuldich put his finger under his chin and pulled it up a little. Mind scans were easy, but repairing a mind was almost a totally different matter, the German had done it once and now he was expected to do it again. He reached into the recesses of the mind, but couldn't access what he needed to do a full repair. "His memories are horribly damaged, if I was to do a repair now, Shido, it would damage not only Omi, but myself in the process."

Shido sat back in his seat. "I'm sorry for wasting your time, Schuldich."

The German blinked. "This wasn't a waste of time, these memories were damaged before he was turned into a vampire. So far, I just think if we leave him alone, the memories will repair themselves, its just up to the kid to do it." Schuldich smiled and touched the boy's head. "Cain really did a number on him."

The visit was over, but Schuldich vowed to come back again just to see if the repairs were going to take place.

"I don't like him," Omi whispered and got up putting the crayons away and the book.

"You and him have a horrible past, so you being scared of him is only natural, Omi," Shido got up and sighed. "Now then are you going to sleep in your coffin by yourself, or are you always going to crawl into mine because you're afraid."

Omi just sat down and looked upset. "I'm sorry, but I don't like the dark, I keep seeing things in it, things I don't want to see."

There was a knock on the door and Shido got up. "We have a visitor, or rather you have a visitor."

Ken walked in and saw Omi sitting on the couch smiling up at him with innocent eyes. "Hello, Ken-kun," the voice was the usual sound of the teen, but also the sound of the child that was Angel, Cain's little Angel. He was half expecting Omi to revert back to Angel and ask to go home, but that did not happen, Omi smiled still, the fangs were seen between those lips and it was hard to tell if the boy was human or vampire.

Yayoi was behind Ken and quickly sat him down. "You are aware of what will happen to you, right?" she whispered hoping that Ken was sure about what he was offering to do.

"I want to take care of Omi, it is my job to when he was first brought to Weiss." Ken reached out and hugged the boy, but saw Omi back away a little and then turned his head up to Yayoi who was holding a knife, she took hold of Ken's wrist and made a cut there. Omi moved forward and took the wound to his lips and licked at it.

"Just a little Omi, just a little," Shido whispered into Omi's ear.

Ken closed his eyes feeling lightheaded and then noticed he released and the boy was wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. "But Shido-kun…"

"NO!" Shido pulled the boy away and shook his head. "You never kill, do you understand, you never kill when you feed!"

"Shido-kun, you're hurting my wrist!" Omi pulled away and smiled, the boy turned his head and looked up. "I'm going home soon, aren't I?"

"That's right, but I'm not done educating you," the older vampire touched the boy's shoulder and caressed it. "Come on, Omi, I think you need to rest now, you have become so worked up."

"When is Omi coming home?" Aya looked over at Ken who was walking into the apartment.

"Not for awhile, Shido wants to do more education."

Shido picked a place in the park that was isolated to do his training, Omi followed him and looked around. "I don't want to, its uncomfortable!" Omi whined when he had to go into mist form, he appeared next to Shido and seemed really nervous.

"That was impressive, you are still afraid, aren't you?"

Nodding Omi held onto himself and turned his head to look at the night sky. "I don't like it when Ken-kun isn't here? Why did you send him away?"

"You're not ready to leave with him, you're still too young," Shido walked over to Yayoi's car and sighed. "You'll understand soon enough, you're still under Cain's influence and if he were to come back you wouldn't know how to fight him off."

The boy sat down on a bench and kicked his feet, he strained his memory trying to remember what it was like before he was a vampire. He only remembered bits and pieces of things, a birthday where he was with a woman with red hair, a time when he was nine living with one Kritiker agent and had broken his wrist during a training exercise. His human memories were blurred to points that only little things made sense to him. "Shido-kun, I want to remember everything, I want to remember what I was like as a human."

"Sometimes it is easier to forget about it," Guni came out from behind Omi's ear and sighed. "Sometimes you should be happy being where you are now, looking at the past might be difficult for you."

Shrugging the boy walked up to the car and got into it, most of the vampire training was easier than he thought it was. This is like training for Kritiker, Omi smiled to himself and looked out the window at the Tokyo Bay, something about the bay reminded him of someone, someone that he loved a great deal. He walked back into the old stone building where Shido's detective agency, Tatsuhiko Agency was the name on the door, at least that was what was implied. He saw Riho who waiting for them and greeted her like always with a smile.

I like Riho-san, she's pretty, Omi thought when he sat down with his crayons and paper, for some reason, he started to not draw so much. His mind was back on his teammates at the flower shop, Riho reminded him of daises, the big ones that Aya grew in the front of the store and that wouldn't be ready for weeks to be sold.

Tonight was a little different, Shido had a new Night Breed case and that left Omi and Riho alone in the office. It was not so bad really, Riho was good with the research on the case and did much of the filing that needed to be done, she dug around until she found Omi at the computer typing away. "These files are incomplete, I think that NOS is only giving half the information that is needed."

"I know that," the girl sighed. "We just make do with what we have, we can't really just waltz into NOS headquarters and ask for files, it would anger everyone."

The boy vampire blinked and nodded, his deep blue eyes moving over the pages of files on the computer. His eyes danced over one file and stopped, this was a file that was recently added, he opened it and found his name on it. "Tsukiyono Omi presumed vampire, formerly possessed by a Night Breed, NOS files state that Kritiker must make Bombay inactive until further notice."

This was weird, Omi blinked, he had no memory of the name of Kritiker, but something about it jogged his memory. He realized that something about this name shocked him, that was when the entire room went black, turning to look up he saw the blond haired Cain standing in front of him. "Angel, time to come home," Cain held out his hands and Omi ran toward him. "Good boy."

Ken put the phone down, he stared at it and rubbed his neck lightly, he knew where Omi was, Riho had called to ask if had come by the flower shop. He walked out of the flower shop and started to walk down the street, he saw Omi standing in an alley looking down at the ground. "Omi, you need to go home."

"I don't want to go back to Shido-kun, or rather Oni-kun," Omi ran off down the alley, and Cain right up behind Ken. "You said, oto-san that Ken-kun won't be hurt."

"Of course not," Cain smiled at Ken and held him as the world became nothing more than shadows.

What was going to happen if he didn't find Omi? Shido didn't want to think what would happen, he had already made Weiss angry. He walked into the office and paced for close to an hour, he looked down at some of Omi's drawings and tried to get a clue of what he was looking at or what Omi was doing before he was taken. He looked over at the computer and found the boy's case file was open, he blinked and then realized that somehow that his memories were coming back. "This isn't good," he picked up the phone and dialed Schuldich's cellphone.

"Hello?" the German's voice said and there was the sound of utter amusement in it, then it faded when he heard what was said to him. "Slow down, okay, part of Omi's memory came back, good?"

"He was taken by Cain!"

"Not good, listen, I'll be over there in a few minutes, I have to watch the brat to make sure he doesn't have a seizure again."

"How long will that be?"

"An hour."

"We don't have that long, Schu, you get here with Nagi then."

"Fine."

Omi was sitting on a bed, his hands were behind his head and he was looking down at Ken with large eyes. "Hello!" Omi sounded like his normal self and turned to look at him closely.

"Omi, what is going on?" Ken asked and saw Omi's eyes darken a little.

"I wanted my memories back," Omi sat there and looked serious. "Cain has all my memories so I was going to ask for them back. He said he would give them back if I came with him."

"You're entirely too trusting," Ken blurted out and took Omi's hands trying to find away out of the room. "He's not returning your memories, he wants you to remain dependent on him."

The young vampire shook his head and smiled a little, his soft yellow eyes filled with reddish tears. "That's a lie, its Shido who is wrong, he said that all I have to do is remember, but Schuldich said my memories are horribly damaged. So…"

"You're confused, Omi, we have to leave, I don't want you to be Angel again, I was scared of Angel. I want you to always stay Omi!"

Cain knew his plan was not going to work, Shido was going to show up again and take Omi and Ken from him. He watched from the shadows and knew perfectly well that to get what he wanted, he had to have both Omi and Shido together. Turning his head, he saw the boy standing in the shadows, his eyes yellow from hunger. "Angel, its time to go feed, come with me," he pulled the boy away from Ken and vanished.

They walked into an alley, Omi blinked as he was brought to a place to feed on someone. He squirmed a little and tried to break free, his inner nature was now at war with what Shido had taught him. "You don't have to kill him, just take what you need and I'll take care of the rest," Cain urged and smiled when Omi fell onto the poor man and fed.

The human was still alive, Cain decided to show his young student some act of kindness and wiped the man's memory of the attack. Standing up looking over at the boy who smiled at him with an innocent look in his eyes, he couldn't help but fall in love with him. "Let's go see your friend, Ken, I'm sure he misses you."

"He's going to be one of us, isn't he?"

"No, humans are to die, but if you want him that badly, a father can't deny his child a playmate," the master vampire smiled and led Omi back to their hiding place.

Ken had run, he bolted after Omi and Cain left, he found the loose window and was now standing in front of Shido's office. He ran in and saw Shido sitting there. "Ken?"

"Cain has Omi, he went to him willingly, he is confused," sitting down on the couch and looked angry.

"He found his case, I should have had it taken off the computer," Shido sat down and looked angry too. "Cain possibly told him that he would tell Omi everything if he came to him. He has used this ploy on me several times, but sine Omi is so young and his mentality is fragile, it only takes curiousity to cause this."

The door opened and Schuldich walked in, he looked around the office and sighed. "So, that little kitten hasn't returned?"

"No, Cain took him."

Frustrated at having lost his playmate, Omi sat down on the bed and held onto some toys that Cain had gotten him. Mentality of children were dangerous, especially for one trained to kill from an early age. Omi looked up as Cain held him and hugged close. "Do not worry, we will find your little friend, then we can go to Europe."

"I want him now!"

"Be a little patient."

Being left alone, Omi sat down on the bed and he searched his things and found his commuication device that he carried all the time. He sat down again and started to pluck at the buttons and suddenly he heard a sound. "Omi? Is that you?" the voice was deep and familiar.

"Aya-kun! Help me, please, Cain has me," the boy whimpered and then shut it off. He hoped this would bring Ken, but he knew it would not. It would bring only Aya and he would be much more than a match!

The tracer that Omi built for emergencies had been a good idea, Aya put the tracer in his jacket and grabbed his katana. He did not bother to tell Yohji who was too busy in the flower shop to notice him leaving. He walked out of his car and decided to hook up the device to lock on, he knew how it worked due to Omi's lessons on it.

"You just put this into the car's computer and it should map out a location of any given target or member of the team. The tracer also has a communication device so that it can transmit up to five seconds a message," Omi had smiled as he held up the small device that had a cross painted on it. "I do have a smaller one that is used to transmit up to five hours after being placed on a target, this is what we use the most, these tracers with the crosses are ours, it is in case we have an accident on a mission."

Thank you, Omi for that, Aya thought as he started up the tracing device to track Omi. He came to a building, in fact it was a spacious hotel. He sneaked into the back and noticed that it was something out of history. He wandered the halls and found the room that Omi was being held. Knocking he hoped it was unlocked. "Omi?"

"Aya-kun?" came a faint whispered and the door opened. Omi was dressed in a Buster Brown suit and tie, his slacks were a gray color and he looked almost childlike. "You came, I'm so happy."
