Warnings:

"Humdedumdedumdedum," Kotaro sang to himself as he drew, he was drawing a ship on the wall of one of the buildings. He had borrowed some pens from one of the classrooms and was happily scribbling away. It was a huge tanker, like the one he and his brother had traveled on, he also drew a teddy bear, which was bigger than the ship, and a train.

He smiled at anyone who passed by and greeted them happily. "Hello!"

"Really? Well I don't know much about humans, I never met any until we left the sanctuary but that's why we gotta be careful, because humans don't like Black Bloods," he frowned thinking, "You don't have a headache do you?"

[bloodbrother]

"Yeah, I do actually. And no amount of aspirin is doing a thing about it..." He rubbed his temples and slid down the wall so he was nearly sitting on his heels. "I can't work like this..."

[babysage]

"I get a headache whenever I try and remember my brothers name," he told him as he sat next to him, "So maybe you forgot something too..."

He didn't look well, and from the parasol that meant that he was the type of vampire who got hurt in the sun, if he were a vampire, which he said he wasn't but Kotaro wasn't sure.

"We should go inside!" He jumped up and reached down to pull Sam to his feet.

[bloodbrother]

How could he have forgotten he was a vampire? It just didn't make sense. "Alright..." he let the kid pull him up, and walked with him toward the nearest building. Where had he been going? Oh yeah, toward the dorms. He hoped he was going to catch a glimpse of one of the trolls. There was something about them that held his attention. Other than the obvious things that stood out about them. Something he couldn't put his finger on.

[babysage]

Kotaro skipped ahead, twirling the parasol as he did so, he turned back and grinned, "Are you a teacher sir? My friend Nephenee is a teacher!"

[bloodbrother]

"I work in the infirmary, actually. I'm a doctor. I don't think I'm cut out to be a teacher." He smirked sheepishly.

[babysage]

"A doctor?" Kotaro had never heard of a vampire being a doctor before, he wasn't sure it would be allowed! "I'm a student, but I've never been to school before! It's really hard!"

[bloodbrother]

"Yeah, it's a lot of work to do well in school. And I've been in more school than you have," he said, smiling. This kid was kinda cute, after all. "Is your brother here?"

[babysage]

Kotaro nodded, it was hard though he was enjoying the classes so far. At the mention of his brother his smile faded.

"No," he said quietly, "But he will be, he will come and get me he always does! And he will beat up the stupid people who brought me here!"

[bloodbrother]

"Well, I guess I'll have to look out for you. If you don't mind, that is." He smiled fondly at the kid.

[babysage]

Kotaro grinned, "Okay and I'll look out for you as well!" He took Sam's hand happily and his stomach growled. "I'm hungry," he complained.

[bloodbrother]

"I guess that sounds fair," he answered to Kotaro's offer to help him out, too. But the way Kotaro so readily admitted being hungry made him uneasy. "Uh. Hungry?"

[babysage]

"Yep, Nephenee gave me permission to eat all the food I wanted! But I'm still hungry, my brother says it's because I'm growing!" He grinned again.

[bloodbrother]

"Well, I guess we ought to go to the cafeteria," he said. He started leading the boy in that direction. He was kind of glad it wasn't the blood kind of hungry. He was kind of an easy target as he was right now.

[babysage]

"Yay!" Kotaro followed happily skipping along beside him. "Are you hungry too?"

[bloodbrother]

He thought for a moment about how to answer that. "Yes, I am. But food just doesn't taste right. It doesn't really hit the spot either. It's like I'm hungry for something that's not food."

[babysage]

Kotaro blinked at him, the answer seemed obvious but Sam had said he was definitely a human...

But if he was a human he was one with fangs who couldn't be in the sun. "If some humans have fangs and don't like the sun, maybe there's humans that need blood as well?" He told him, because if food was starting to not taste right and he was still hungry he needed blood. If he was a vampire.

Kotaro was still confused on that point.

[bloodbrother]

"I'm a doctor, Kotaro. That kind of thing doesn't happen. I've never heard of that kind of thing happening in all of my research. And I'm considered an expert on vampire physiology. --Uh, on how a vampire's body works." His rhythm was broken a bit by his pause to explain a word Kotaro might not know. "My brother is a vampire, and the woman I've been seeing is a vampire. I'm not." Oh dear, here comes that headache again.

Kotaro, you might have to resort to drastic measures to get this boy to drink some blood.

[babysage]

Kotaro frowned, but if this man was a doctor and an expert on how vampires bodies work then he should know that his teeth and the fact he couldn't go out in the sun made him a vampire, and an older bloodline of vampires at that.

"Are you sure you didn't accidentally drink your brothers blood? Or your friends? Because you might have accidentally turned into a vampire!"

[bloodbrother]

As this discussion wore on, Sam's headache only grew more severe. He groaned a little and rubbed his temple. The kid had a few points. And logically, he knew that there could only be one conclusion. But he still knew, somehow, he was human. His head throbbed. "That's..." he couldn't quite get the sentence together. He kept finding himself in more and more pain.

[babysage]

Kotaro blinked at him, waiting for him to finish his sentence but he never did. "Is your head hurting again?" That was definitely what happened when you tried to remember something that had been taken from you.

"Well maybe you should drink some blood anyways, and if it makes you feel better you know you are a vampire and just forgot it, and if it doesn't then something else is wrong!"

[bloodbrother]

He thought that over for a good, long, moment. It made logical sense. All what he was accomplishing by denying it was being obstinate. "All right. But not yours. Human blood. All using yours would do is make me something I'm... probably not." He wasn't outright denying it. He was making progress.

"...I can't believe I just agreed to this..."

[babysage]

Kotaro shrugged, "If you want though we need to find a human and you need to ask them nicely!" He told him sincerely, he had met some vampires in his new role as compromiser who thought they could just attack humans, which wasn't a nice thing to do at all.

"Though if you drank my blood, if you then became a vampire at least we'd know for sure!" He saw no issues with this at all.

[bloodbrother]

"Yeah, I have no intention of doing anything to hurt anyone...." But then when Kotaro added that last part. He shook his head. "No! That's not something I want to do."

[babysage]

"Good, you have to be nice to people!" He frowned at the last bit, "Why not? I'm not a Kowloon child and I don't think you are either," because he wouldn't have been able to restrain himself this long before attacking someone, "So there's no danger."
