Her older brother Miyaka, the eldest son of the Yokoto branch, has been told to look after his sister. Their parents are on a round the world trip looking for someone. While their parents are gone Kiri makes some surprising choices. Will these choices change everyone and everything around her?
    LIES OF LOVE
    Why? Why listen to your brother?
    All he tells is lies.
    It can never be true,
    Never be real,
    Never be forever.
    Why must he lie right to your face?
    Does he love you?
    Can’t he be truthful?
    What does he hide deep inside his heart?
    Why does he forbid what isn’t forbidden?
    My father, the devil, he says our love is true,
    Not forbidden, but as real as you and I.
    So why? Why must your brother lie?
    What does he hide so deep in his heart?
    What made his hatred towards me so strong?
    Why? Why listen to your brother?
    All he tells is lies.
    SIMPLE WORDS,MORE PAIN
    It hurts so much to know we need his permission.
    His permission to love.
    His permission to be together.
    Why does he always say “no?”
    Why does it hurt so much?
    That word that one word “no.”
    Why does it put such pain in my heart?
    Why does it hurt, why so much?
    As he just says that simple word, “no.”
    Why must your brother make me hurt so much?
    Drenched in pain and soaked in sorrow.
    By one simple word “no.”
    That’s all it takes to make that pain.
    How come that pain won’t go away, as fast as it came?
    It hurts so much to know we need his permission.
    His permission to love.
    His permission to be together.
    Why does he always say “no?”
    CHAPTER 1
    WHEN TWO WORLDS
    COLLIDE





    In present day Utashinai, Japan, It was night and Miyaka was stalking his prey. A branch suddenly hindered the pathway. Miyaka disregarded the branch in front of him. His prey was gone before he could seize it. He frowned at his loss to obtain his prey. But then he found an excerpt page from a book. He decided to ignore it and continue his hunt. He was mislead by a sound in the bushes it was coyote. He jumped at it and sunk his teeth in to it. He had a shocked look on his face. It wasn’t a coyote it was a vampire named Hiroshima. He’d been excluded from their clan a year ago. Miyaka left a severe bite on Hiroshi’s neck. Hiroshima heard an irritatingly monotonous scream in the distance. When Hiroshima closed his eyes, Miyaka asked “What are you doing here?” Hiroshima just looked at him, then without a word disappeared. Miyaka wiped his mouth then got up and disappeared. He reappeared in a dimly lit room. “Kiri! KIRI WHERE ARE YOU!?” Miyaka yelled. He looked out the window and saw her and...Hiroshima!? He ran outside, “Get away from her Yamagata!” Miyaka yelled. “Oh, don’t be so formal Miyaka.” Hiroshima said. “What are you doing here? ”Miyaka asked angrily. “Now, now Miyaka don’t start a conflict.” Hiroshima said calmly. “Answer my questions don’t change the subjects!” Miyaka said angrily.” Fine, I’m here to see my princess.” Hiroshima said. “You don’t posses the power to be the prince. Remember you were excluded from your branch of the clan.” Miyaka said. “I know the procedures and that I must marry a prince, but I love Hiroshima.” Kiri said. “Do you know why he was excluded from our clan?” miyaka asked. “No.” Kiri said stubbornly. “He gave The Asazuki Clan all our resources, the gold, coal, blood. He even gave them the location of everyone in our clan. We sill haven’t renewed all of it and, its hard to erase their memories of everyone’s location.” Miyaka said. “I don’t care.” Kiri said, turning away from Miyaka. “You…you think the clan will be unanimous with this? Mom and dad will be furious!” Miyaka yelled. “You think you have a variation of choice?” Miyaka said. Miyaka thought Hiroshima was gone, but then out of nowhere. Hiroshima came and slashed Miyakas chest with a dagger. “AHHHHHHHHH!” Kiri screamed. “Kiri what’s wrong?” Hiroshima asked. “GO!” Kiri screamed. “What?” Hiroshima said confused. “GO!!” Kiri screamed louder, it echoed through the vicinity. Kiri ran to Miyaka and put her hands on his chest. She has the power to heal anyone or anything. She tried to stop crying as she started saying a spell. “It’s better, Thank you.” Miyaka said. “But!” Kiri said, still crying. “Don’t stress yourself Kiri.” Miyaka said, smiling. “Let’s go inside.” Kiri said. He put his arm around her and they went inside. Later that day, “How do you feel?” Kiri asked Miyaka. “Better thanks to you.” Miyaka said, smiling. Kiri smiled, “I can’t believe Hiroshima hurt you.” Kiri said. “This is precisely why you shouldn’t see him.” Miyaka said. Kiri didn’t say anything, “Well nevertheless he isn’t allowed here anymore. Miyaka said, as he fell asleep. Kiri went outside and out of nowhere Hiroshima appeared. “So he’s trying to abolish my privileges to see you now? “ Hiroshima asked. “Yeah, but hurting him won’t reform anything.” Kiri said, irritated. “Sorry, I have a tendency of guessing what you want me to do!” Hiroshima said. “That won’t stop Miyaka from dying!” Kiri screamed. “What do you mean dying?” Hiroshima asked. “I don’t know what you hurt him with, but he’s decaying from the inside out!” Kiri screamed, and then started to cry. “Do you love him more than a brother?” Hiroshima asked. “He’s my brother!” Kiri said, shocked at Hiroshima’s question. “Half, he’s your half-brother. Besides if you love him who am I to stand in your way?” Hiroshima asked. “If you expand your mind all the way back to the beginning of our clan. The vampires who started our clan were brother and sister. They were actually also married.” Hiroshima said. “After what you did I find that very corrupt.” Kiri said. “Fine, then I won’t promote your love.” Hiroshima said, and then disappeared. “Miyaka did fill that vast space mom and dad left in my heart. So could it be true love or just family love?” Kiri thought to herself. As she tried to decipher what she would say, she tripped. She fell straight into a puddle of mud. She started crying. Miyaka heard her crying and ran outside. “Kiri what’s wrong?” He asked, and then saw her dress. “Please Kiri don’t cry, we’ll get it cleaned.” Miyaka said softly. “It’ll never come out!” Kiri cried uncontrollably. Hiroshima appeared in a nearby tree. “It’s not impossible.” Hiroshima said, dryly. “What do you want?” Miyaka asked angrily. “I only want to help.” Hiroshima said, ignoring the anger in Miyaka’s voice. “Why would you want to help?” Miyaka asked questionably. “Isn’t that what you do when you’re in love?” Hiroshima asked. Kiri stopped crying, “In love?” Kiri thought to herself. “How dare you say you’re in love with my sister? You filthy monster.” Miyaka yelled. “Mi-Miyaka, why” kiri asked. “Why? What do you mean why?” Miyaka asked. “Why do you forbid him to love me?” Kiri asked. “It’s a rule, and besides you’re my little sister I love you. It’s my job to protect you.” Miyaka said, in the most sympathetic voice Kiri ever heard. “That’s all I needed to hear.” Kiri thought to herself. She walked toward Hiroshima her dress and hair became clean.” Kiri what are you doing?!” Miyaka asked, confused at what just happened. “I’m going out with Hiroshima.” Kiri said softly. “Don’t betray me Kiri.” Miyaka said, in a stern voice. “I’m sorry, I love you” Kiri said, then disappeared. “What changed your mind?” Hiroshima asked Kiri. “He told me he loves me, that is all I needed to hear.” Kiri said, as she looked around taking in all the scenery. ‘Where are we “Kiri asked. “My house is that okay?” Hiroshima asked. “You…you mean were in …”Kiri asked then stopped. “I…I…should go.” Kiri said, and then disappeared. Later that evening, Kiri is sitting at the table with Miyaka. “What do you think mother and father would say if they knew? I can’t let this go on with Hiroshima and you.” Miyaka asserted. “What’s wrong you look a little shocked?” Kiri looked up at Miyaka, “H--he took me t--to h--h--he--hell.” Kiri clarified. Miyaka’s expression went from worrisome to rage. Kiri got up and backed away with precaution. “HIROSHIMA!!” Miyaka screamed. Hiroshima appeared with a rigid frown on his face. “I’m not deaf I can hear!” Hiroshima said angrily. Senselessly he walks over to kiri and grabs her arm. She tries to evade him, because his grip is harsh on her arm. Kiri extended her arm toward Miyaka. “Why did you take her to hell?” Miyaka demanded. “To meet my father. You can’t meet the devil anywhere else.” Hiroshima said dryly. Miyaka pulled Kiri out of Hiroshima’s grip before Hiroshima disappeared. Just then there was a knock at the door. Miyaka let go of Kiri and answered the door. “Hi!” The cheerful yet unfamiliar voice was calming to kiri. “Hi Akihiro.” Miyaka said, cheerfully as if nothing had happened two minutes ago. Akihiro? I know her! Kiri thought to herself. “Oh, Who is this?” Miyaka asked. “This is Satoshi Suriname, he’s my boyfriend.” Akihiro said ,smiling. “Hi nice to meet you.” Satoshi said. Kiri had a preconception of what he looked like. Tall, Tan, black hair, and blue eyes, Akihiro’s dream guy. Kiri walked over to the door. “Oh, please come in.” Miyaka said, smirking in embarrassment. They walked in, kiri backed away from the door. Akihiro’s long black hair went down to her knees. She had plain blue jeans and a black shirt on. Her eyes are a shade of blue so close to black. Satoshi came in, his hair actually shoulder length, dark brown hair. His skin pale as can be his eyes dark as night. His jeans and shirt both black.
    “Hi.” Kiri said, shocked at his looks. “He doesn’t have any resemblance to your dream guy.” Kiri said, without thinking of what she just said. “Well I couldn’t find a vampire with a tan.” Akihiro said, laughing. “Oh, this is true no vampire can have a tan. ”Kiri said. “Miyaka are you bleeding?” Akihiro asked. “What?” Miyaka asked. “Your trench coat has blood on it.” Akihiro said. Miyaka looked at the side of his trench coat. Sure enough there was a red, vibrant, vertical line. “Where did that come from I never wear my coat when I hunt! Do you know how hard it is to get blood out of white leather?!” Miyaka yelled. “Miyaka stop screaming its not going to help.” Akihiro said. “Fine. I have bigger problems anyway.” Miyaka said ,angrily throwing his coat on the floor. Kiri picked it up, and as she did more blood appeared on it. Miyaka looked at Kiri with a surprised look and fear in his eyes. “Kiri let me see your arm.” Miyaka said, reaching toward Kiri to grab her arm. “NO! I mean no… I’m fine.” Kiri said, putting her other hand on her arm. “Kiri give me your arm.” Miyaka said, more assertively. “I… I’m fine.” Kiri said, softly. Miyaka looked over at Akihiro signaling her to grab Kiri from behind. Akihiro grabbed Kiri, and Miyaka pushed up the left sleeve of her dress. Five deep holes showed on Kiri’s forearm. Akihiro’s eyes widened, “ It was Hiroshima wasn’t it?” Miyaka asked Kiri. “He… He didn’t mean too.” Kiri said, softly. “Her skin has so much color to it. What did he do to her?” Miyaka thought to himself. Miyaka took a cloth and wiped some of the blood off Kiri’s forearm. “I’m going to my room to study the blood. Keep wiping the blood off her forearm.” Miyaka said, as he walked away. “Kiri how do you feel?” Akihiro asked. “A little dizzy and warm.” Kiri said, in a faint voice. Miyaka ran into the living room, “She’s dying!” Miyaka yelled. “What do you mean!?” Akihiro asked, her eyes filled with fear. “Hiroshima’s blood is flowing through her veins. Her blood thinks his blood is a virus. So her blood is trying to destroy his blood. Except his blood is so thick that it’s killing her.” Miyaka said, as he looked over at Kiri. “Miy--” Kiri said, as she passed out. “Kiri!” Miyaka screamed. Akihiro screamed, “Is she still breathing!?” She kneeled down next to Kiri. “Yes but barely. We have to go find……….. Hiroshima.” Miyaka said, as he walked outside he slammed the door. “Satoshi watch Kiri I’m going with Miyaka.” Akihiro said, as she gave Satoshi a hug. “Ok be careful, oh Akihiro.” Satoshi said, he took her by the hand. “Yes Satoshi?” Akihiro said, smiling. “I love you.” Satoshi said, smiling. “I--I love you too.” Akihiro said. “Bye” Akihiro said, waving at Satoshi, he smiled and waved back. Akihiro went outside, “Miyaka.” Akihiro said, “I’m coming too.” “Ok let’s go. Take my hand.” Miyaka said, holding his hand out for her. She hesitated, but then grabbed his hand.
