Chapter 11 - CHAPTER TEN: ENGAGED

" Aracnaline, zombieman, stand down unless I say so," said Tsukimi but they hesitated," I said STAND DOWN," in a dark voice covering the house in purple aura.

" Tsukimi, your emotions," said Shina.

" I know," said Tsukimi cooling down to allow the aura to be contained.

He sat down on lone sofa and his three generals stood behind him. Ronen refused to come out. Aracnaline was still glaring at sora. She was not okay with the event. Tsukimi took on a poker face and looked at them like a Mafia boss. He beckoned them to start. Shina sighed and placed a black gemstone on the table. It glew an eerie black shade followed by the emergence of the ethereal form of the undead king. He stood before the congregation and scowled at the vampires. Sora looked down at her feet feeling the pressure he was exerting. George placed what looked like a contract on the table and said," My king, as you know, our queen has sent us here to fulfill the contract you made with her seventeen years from now."

" Father, what is he talking about?" Tsukimi asked.

" Ignore them, they are just spouting none sense," said the king shrugging off their comment.

Shana grabbed the contract and read it out loud," This is an unbreakable blood pact made between the undead king and the queen of vampires. The queen of vampires is to provide unlimited blood to the undead king to handle the curse of corrosion and in return the undead king is to give his youngest son Tsukimi Tombbreak to the vampire queen for his hand in marriage to one of her children. This is bound to thy souls that sign here."

" There it is," Mereo said.

" Can't we talk about this?" Sora asked.

" Yeah, we need to talk about this," said Shina.

" How dare you sign this without my consent," said Tsukimi in anger.

" You were just born.what did you want me to do. Only your sister could provide that amount of blood for us," said the king.

" What do you mean by sister? Aren't we talking about the vampire queen?" Tsukimi asked.

" Um..," said Shina and Shana.

Tsukimi looked at them and they looked away to avoid eye contact. George sighed and placed a ruby on the table. It glew scarlet and from it came a scarlet haired woman in an evening gown appeared and said," yes, make sure the plane is fixed by then... Why am I hear?"

She looked at the table and saw the contract. When she saw there was no signature on it, she glared at Sora. Sora cut open a small wound on her finger and signed it. Then she saw the twins and waved them. They smiled at her and waved back. Then her eyes met the king. The two glared at each other like arch enemies." Celine," the undead king said.

" Father," said Celine.

" Celine? Where have I heard that name before?" Tsukimi asked himself when she noticed Celine was staring at him," What are you looking at?"

Tsukimi was not in his right senses in this situation so the way he treated her was not appropriate but that does not mean Celine was letting it slide. She disappeared and reappeared in front of Tsukimi. She looked him in the eye and both their eyes glew crimson. The generals tried to attack when she looked at them and they were frozen in place. Zombieman was the only one who was struggling to move. Taro had retreated to Shina's side before she even struck." I'm impressed you managed to get a general strong enough to move even through my power. And Taro, why are you avoiding your sister? You know we haven't seen each other in nearly a decade," Celine said.

" I'm sorry but even I know when I have to avoid the eldest in the family," said Taro.

Then a long sword appeared from a sudden tear in space which tried to behead Celine. She smirked at the insolence. Ronen appeared holding the sword and he was just about to pour in more power when Tsukimi ordered them to stand down. Ronen stopped and put his blade away. Zombieman stopped struggling and the force stopping him disappeared. Aracnaline looked at her in horror and fear. Tsukimi got up with a dead look on him and walked to the table, walking right through Celine's ethereal form, and signed the contract with his blood. Once he did, he stood up straight and looked about. He asked," Why is everyone looking at me?" he looks at the table and sees he signed the contract," When did I?"

The contract then floated into the air and turned into blood. The blood entered Tsukimi and Sora and then formed bloody padlocks on them. Tsukimi looked back at Celine and said," Now I know who you are. Celine Fangline Tombbreak, the one who took down the undead king and titled the first s-rank hunter in the world. Eldest child to the unknown kin of Tombbreak of twenty unknown children. Only a select few know all this info. But even with all that power, ho could you not eliminate father?"

" Only a power of the same source can destroy it. I have more vampire than undead in me," Celine explained.

" I don't like the fact you mind controlled me to sign that contract but if it's for my mother. I would do anything. Anyway, I need to do some training," said Tsukimi opening up a portal.

" So that's how it is settled?" Sora asked.

" Yes that's how it is settled. You remember our agreement right? Don't disappoint me. I'll be checking back on you next month when you come for the entrance exam. And, never do this again. You hear me George?" Celine asked and George nodded.

Celine went back into the ruby and the vampire brothers left. Sora was left there wondering as the generals left with Tsukimi. The twins decided to help sora to settle in while Tsukimi was out. Tsukimi entered his world and stood in an open plain. He screamed to the heavens letting loose an obscene amount of miasma into the air. It created multiple zombies I'm all directions and empowered the already existing ones. He then ordered them all to attack him at the same time. He had a lot to get off his chest.
