• ALTERNATIVE ENDING - I AM INVINCIBLE

    You've survived the worst that could ever happen to you; you're invincible. You have so many years left to make it yours.

    .:{{Arisa's Perspective}}:.

    "Yasuko, honey, can you help me pull these weeds?" I asked as I was on my knees in front of the house, pulling weeds from the flower bed bordering the house.

    Little Yasuko huffed, "Mommy, I'm eating my sundae," she took a bite of her ice cream.

    I laughed lightly, "Could you hurry up? I want to get these done before your father gets back."

    Speak of the devil; just as I said that, Kai pulled up into the parking lot in his car. Yasuko jumped off of her chair, leaving her sundae on the ground, and ran towards Kai. He leaned over to pick her up in his arms and spin her around as Yasuko giggled wildly.

    "Welcome home, daddy!" she greeted.

    "Hey, kid," Kai smiled and messed up her hair. "Have you been helping around the house?"

    "No, she hasn't," I stood up and frowned while making my way over to Kai. "She's been spoiling herself."

    Kai set Yasuko down and she ran off to finish her ice cream. Kai gently gripped my face and leaned in to give me a wet, long kiss, "How are you feeling?"

    "Better; sane." I confirmed; I wasn't dehydrated as much any longer.

    Thirty years ago, after Minoru and Kaiba attacked me from the contract, I was on my deathbed. The doctors managed to save my life; I "died" three times until they finally succeeded. Unfortunately, I slipped into a coma for two months. Even worse than that, the babies inside me didn't survive; after I died so many times, they gave up and passed away. I didn't figure it out until I woke up from the coma. After waking up from the two-month coma, I stayed in the hospital for another month for physical therapy to help me walk again.

    After I had left the hospital, all of my broken bones were healed but my immune system had weakened incredibly and I was nearly ninety pounds. I fell ill more often than I ever had before. After only a month of being back at Matsuda and Orihime's, my life was on the line once more. I had been so depressed from the attack, what Minoru did to me, and the miscarriage of my babies, that it was finally taking its toll on me. Matsuda and Orihime made the decision that I should be let go so I wouldn't have to deal with that suffering any longer. Kai watched me in pain as I was taking my final breaths. Soon enough, Kai panicked and infected me; he changed me into a Vampire.

    The pain was absolutely unbearable, and I had never been angrier with Kai--and he had never been angrier with himself. Neither of us wanted me to ever become a Vampire, but Kai panicked; he couldn't live without me. Despite how angry I was at Kai, my love for him also increased even more; it showed how much he truly loved me; he wanted me to live a happy life with him.

    Twenty-five years after my "rebirth" I got pregnant again by accident. The whole family was hesitant on the pregnancy, considering I had miscarried before, and the fact that I wasn't completely over my severe craving was a dangerous factor; I could end up killing the baby once it would be born. During the birthing, I had to drink excessive blood; I drained Kai of most of his blood and I even had to take some from Kira. The severe craving instantly calmed once my baby was out of me and breathing, but they still had to keep her away from me for a few days. Kai and I finally reached the parenthood we couldn't achieve earlier. I named her Yasuko in honor of one of the twins I miscarried.

    A couple of years after I woke up from my coma and becoming a Vampire, Miku became a Werewolf. Her and Takeuchi married as soon as possible and Takeuchi infected her. They revealed to Miku's parents what they were; her parents were shocked beyond belief, but eventually approved. Now, thirty years later, Miku's mother had passed away five months ago at the age of seventy-three and her father was on his way. Of course Miku was depressed, but she knew it would happen; she knew she would outlive humans. Luckily, they had another child before Miku's mother passed away; it was another boy and his name was Setsuki and he was about a year older than Yasuko.

    Akatsuki finally did the deed; he killed himself shortly after the contract did its business. The Society had found out and were hunting him down. He had the will to survive, but he knew there would be no way if the Society was looking for him. He was back with Aya; he was happy again.

    Chi was now a member of our family; her and Kira clicked and grew closer as I was in the hospital. Kira claimed he had never been happier; he knew Chi was different from the three women he married before. He knew that she was the one for him; his years of searching were over. Kira had turned Chi into a Vampire around the same time Miku became a Werewolf. Chi decided to become a Vampire too because she didn't want to live such a short life with Kira and because she knew how sensitive my craving was and how long it would last. They were planning to marry soon; I couldn't be happier for Chi and Kira.

    Around the same time Setsuki was born, Matsuda and Orihime finally had another child. It was a girl and they named her Ritsuka. I had never seen them so happy in all the years I had known them. Ritsuka, Setsuki, and Yasuko were all best friends, and they always would be.

    Kai and I hadn't officially married yet; even though we "married" right after the contract did its duty, it wasn't legally declared yet. We first planned to wait for the actual ceremony until I was healed from being in the hospital, but since I unexpectedly became a Vampire, we opted to push the date back even further to when my craving is completely healed over. I wasn't so impatient anymore; I had hundreds of years left to wait to marry Kai and make our family grow.

    Kai snapped me out of my senses by lightly thumping my nose. I looked up at him and blushed, fully aware that he was standing in front of me the whole time I was daydreaming, "Are you thirsty, Arisa?"

    I nodded and smiled weakly, "A little,"

    I leaned in to Kai's neck and bore my fangs for a moment before I delved into his hearty neck. Instantly, his blood ran down my throat and I drank it fervently. Who ever would have imagined the day that I would crave blood? After I had become a Vampire, I assumed I would still have my nauseous hate for blood, but once I was finally conscious after the transformation, that was all I wanted. And it was because of those cravings that caused my first few killings; I had no clue how hard it was to keep your sanity in your first several years as a Vampire.

    Speaking of blood, my blood no longer granted immortality. It turned out that me changing into a Vampire altered my blood to that of normal Vampires. It was also a small reason why Kai never changed me into a Vampire before; it was against the contract.

    I pulled away from his neck and swallowed the last mouthful of blood and I wiped my lips off, "Thanks," I mumbled as I licked off the remaining blood on Kai's neck.

    "Setsuki is here!" Ai exclaimed and jumped off of her chair once more. "Mom, Setsuki and Toshihiro are here!"

    Kai and I glanced down the gravel road and, sure enough, there was a car speeding up the road a little less than a mile away with a huge plume of dust trailing after it. After a few seconds, the car pulled up and Toshihiro and little Setsuki hopped out of the car and Toshihiro picked up Setsuki and rested him on his shoulders. Toshihiro was all grown up; he was just about thirty years old already but looked like he was seventeen.

    "Hey, guys," Toshihiro smiled and waved and Setsuki copied his actions.

    "Good morning," Kai nodded and I smiled.

    "Hi, Setsuki!" Ai waved.

    Toshihiro looked up at Setsuki on his shoulders, "Setsuki had a question to ask you two," he looked back at Kai and I.

    "Can Yasuko come over?" Setsuki asked with a little blush in his cheeks. "I wanna play with her before Toshihiro and I leave."

    I looked over at Yasuko, "Yasu, do you want to go to Matsuda and Orihime's for a few days?"

    Yasuko's eyes lit up and she jumped up and down, "Yes!" she clapped her hands. "I'll go get my things!" And she ran into the house with Setsuki following her. We were pretty sure they had a crush on each other, and she also had a crush on Toshihiro.

    "How's Miku's father holding up?" Kai asked Toshihiro.

    Toshihiro shrugged, "Not too well, I guess. They think he's going to die sometime in the next few months, so we're going to stay in Kyoto until he does. Mom and dad are already there."

    It was so strange for me to see Toshihiro as a grown man; I couldn't get over him being the little baby thirty years ago that gnawed on my finger and whom I helped come out of the womb. He was our nephew and we couldn't love him any more than we already do.

    Within a few minutes, Yasuko and Setsuki were already outside with a couple of Yasuko's bags filled with clothing and toys. I lowered myself onto my knees and embraced Yasuko tightly. Even though she would go to Matsuda and Orihime's all the time, my heart would still ache at her absence. If it was like that already, I couldn't imagine what a wreck I would be once she would be old enough to move out.

    "Bye, baby," I held her tighter. "Have fun with Setsuki! Mommy's going to miss you!"

    "Mom!" she tried to free herself from my embrace. "Mommy, you're embarrassing me!"

    "Yasu, do you need a drink before you leave?" Kai asked, lowering himself onto his knees and holding up his wrist.

    Yasuko nodded, escaped my grasp, and sunk her infinitesimal fangs into Kai's wrist. Kai was our blood source; Yasuko wasn't allowed to feed off of me until my cravings were gone. Luckily, she was able to go a couple of weeks without getting very dehydrated; Vampire chilren were immune to so much. She pulled away after a few seconds and wiped off her mouth.

    Yasuko jumped into Kai's arms and smiled while nuzzling her face into his chest, "Bye, daddy,"

    "Goodbye, honey," Kai smiled and pat her black hair. "We'll pick you up in three days."

    We bid more farewells and wished Toshihiro good luck on their trip and Yasuko climbed into the back seat with Setsuki. I continued to wave and call out to Yasuko, embarrassing her even more. Kai and I stood in the driveway, holding hands and watching the car speed down the road. Three full days to ourselves; what was there to do?

    "I'll show you what we can do," Kai chuckled and picked me up.

    I caught on and wrapped my legs around his hips, "I think I know what you're getting at," I teased with a coy smile.

    We locked our lips together and we teleported onto the bed and our clothes were half off already. Kai and me never really had much private time anymore, but our lust and love for each other never decreased. Whenever we did have alone time, we made the best of it.

    "Are you happy with your life?" Kai stopped us to ask me randomly.

    I stared at him for a long time in both shock and continuing lust, "Of course I am. I survived everything, and we finally had one of our kids." I smiled weakly, remembering the twins I once carried.

    "Even as a Vampire, you're happy?" he brushed my bangs around.

    I nodded and kissed his ear and whispered into it, "Now let's continue,"

    Kai kissed me and we continued our lust episode. I was being honest with Kai; I couldn't have been any happier than I was at that time. Even though I did miss being human, I found relief in knowing I could spend a few hundred years with Kai. We finally had a child; my little Yasuko was my precious first child; the child that survived. Even though I had to let go of everything in my human life, I found happiness in a Vampire life. I was hoping that mom, dad, Aya, and Akastuki were looking down at me, happy for me and my new life. The life I would be living forevermore. . .

    MAJORITY VOTE:
    Okay, so I'm thinking about writing a second alternative ending--just thought of it last night. I'm thinking about doing a chapter on what it would be like if Arisa had gone to Europe, and I need your guys' votes of whether or not I should write it :3 It won't be a depressing chapter--for the most part. I knew that a lot of you guys were curious as to whether or not she would actually go to Europe. So yeah, should I or shouldn't I write another ending?
