   Hey

Okay today’s post background belongs to battlecherry. I used her background and so I had to give credit where credit is due. So this is going to be quick. I am posting up what I have of my story and I am going on April break. I’ll try to update! PROMISE! ^^ Ja ne… *Kagami* France-16th Century Dante, Don’t do this my friend. If you do then Vincent will never forgive you for as long as he lives. He’ll hate you. Please don’t betray your son’s trust. I believe that you’ll do the right thing. I have faith that you’ll use your stern judgment to come up with a reasonable response to things that have been happening of late. Remember I believe in your actions. Seres Alexander de Monsior Seres, Forgive me. I have betrayed my son. It’s all over. Vincent will never be his old self again. I am afraid that what I believed to be the right action ended up being the ultimate betrayal for my son. Now my only heir has become secluded. My death will be the punishment. Should the covenants come for me, I shall humbly accept my death. I will rot in hell for my sin…it’ll be my atonement. Dante de Leon ~ Mother, how could you let him take you away from me? Don’t worry for I shall be at your side forever. As your eternal guardian… ~ Vincent de Leon Venice Italy- 20th Century Belvedere Mansion “Karou! Where are you?” Layla Belvedere was looking for her son (well one half of them) Karou. It was the day of Sending, or New Years’ Eve, and as a custom amongst the Italian and French society circles, the wealthy had to attend a grand ball. Belvedere was a high class family that originated from France but moved to Italy for business reasons. As the richest family in Venice they had to attend. However the heirs to the Belvedere name were as rebellious and immature as they come. In public they were the sweetest little angels with high class and popular with the ladies. However when it came to being at home, they were the badest boys in the world. There isn’t a person around that could tame them. Besides, they could care less about some stuff party. This was especially true for Karou, the older of the two. “Lady Layla, Master Karou and Master Karin aren’t in their respective rooms. We must leave immediately or else you will be very tardy. I apologize for not locating the young masters but we’ll be late and I don’t want your prestigious record of punctuality to be tarnished,” explained Alphonse, the family caretaker. “It’s quite alright,” Layla began. “I’ll just call Adrian and let him know that he won’t be meeting my adorable twins.” With that Layla quickly hurried to the company car and they drove off. As it left the Belvedere grounds, a young man with blond hair and emerald green eyes jumped off the chandelier. It was Karou Belvedere. “Karin…you can come out now. The coast is completely clear,” he stated with a sly grin on his face. He heard a vase move and turned around to see another blond boy with green eyes come out from behind the vase. He was wearing a Japanese kimono and had lots of make-up on. Karou couldn’t hold in the laugh anymore. “Oh my God, Karin! You look so adorable! I…I…I can’t breathe. Now, act like a geisha.” “Karou! You promised that I wouldn’t have to do anything stupid. You liar!” Karin was extremely upset. Karou put his finger to his brother’s mouth before he could continue. “Hold on…if my memory serves me correctly, we agreed that the loser would do whatever the winner wanted for 30 minutes. No ifs, ands or buts. No backing out either. Right?” Karin’s jaw dropped. “Well watch me! I’m not going to act like a geisha! I’m not your servant.” “Are you sure? Do remember the last time you caked out of a deal like this?” Karin turned around to hide the tears of embarrassment. He couldn’t stand when his brother won their competitions. This time it was a video game match. This was the seventh time that Karin lost in the past three days alone. ‘Stupid summer homework,’ Karin had cursed mentally. “So Karin…I’m waiting for my cute little geisha act.” “Shut up Karou!” He went up to his brother and slapped him with all the pent up anger he had. Karou smiled and responded perfectly. “There we go…” “Karou I don’t have to play by your rules. So knock it off. This joke is over!” Karou grinned devilishly and slammed his brother in the corner. He slammed his fists against the wall pinning Karin in the corner. Karin, the timid and sometimes shy in public, was scared to see his brother’s eyes glowing an abnormal green. “Karou,” he began. “What’s wrong with your eyes?” He gently embraced his brother and stared into his brother’s eyes. “Forgive me, Karou. I didn’t mean to take things this far.” As tough as Karou is, Karin is the only one who can get him to calm down or show a softer side to him. So it’s only normal that Karin’s gentle words be the one thing that brings him to a calm state of mind. He saw Karin with tears coming down his eyes. Karin broke the embrace and smiled. “Shall we go to the sending party?” Karin questioned gently. “I think it’ll be nice to send off the year. Also we can meet this Adrian fellow that mother’s always talking about. Right?” he charmed. “Mm-hmm. I think we should see if this guy is good enough for her. Let’s get you out of this outfit and I’ll remove the poorly done make-up. Then we can head to the party and knock them all dead with our charm.” “Right!” Karin replied happily. Paris, France- 16th Century Town Square “Mother! Where are you?” Vincent yelled questionly. “Vincent! Come back here. We must hurry. Vincent!” Dante yelled as he ran after his son. Mother! Mother! Oh my dearest Mother! Where are you?” “Dante!” Seres yelled as he was catching up to Dante. “We must hurry! I am afraid that I can’t find your wife anywhere. You must grab Vincent and head for the shelter! Come hurry.” “Seres…we have to find her! Promise to help me find her after!” Dante proceeded to state. He nodded, “Yes. Is shall aid you.” “Mother! Mother! Where are you? Mother! Answer me please!” “Vincent…” Dante grabbed his son’s hand. “Let go! I will not go with a traitor like you! Get away! Let…me…go! Mother!” “Vincent, listen to Dante! You must get to a shelter. Hurry!” “Seres?” Vincent turned around confused. “We’ll search for your mother after this. I shall assist you!” Seres added. No! I an going to the cathedral!” “Vincent come back!” Seres yelled. “Vincent!” Dante yelled as Seres held him back. Venice, Italy-20th Century Castilian Palace “Layla! My dearest, you look lovely,” Adrian stated as he kissed her hand. “Adrian please! I don’t deserve your flattery,” Layla smiled. “I was looking forward to meeting your sons, Karou and Karin. It seems that they aren’t here though.” “Well,” Layla began. “It seems to me that hide and seek is a game that they enjoy to play when it comes to formal occasions.” “Come now mother, we aren’t that cruel to leave you here on your own with this gentleman,” replied a voice. Everyone turned around to see Karou and Karin Belvedere standing at the top of the grand staircase in black tuxedos. All of the ladies were mesmerized by their grace and good looks. It simplest terms they looked stunning. “So you are Karou and Karin Belvedere?” Adrian questioned bluntly. He sounded a tad bit disappointed. “To be honest, you don’t resemble your mother like everyone says.” “Well pardon us for not looking like her. We aren’t girls genius,” Karou responded bitterly. “Karou! Apologize to him. He meant no harm,” Layla snapped. “So~rry.” Karou responded rudly.
