It's been over a full year since I have written anything for ! I'm very nervous, both because I haven't written in so long and also because this is my first story in the fandom.
For clarification, this story contains eventual Mikaela x Krul and Guren x Shinya!
I hope you enjoy.
Prologue
It was impossible to die. Even though it had been barely a day, the flesh was completely stripped away and only the last layer of muscle remained.
Eternal. Everlasting.
It was true of what she had said. The fire had been going on for so long that the former Queen of Japan, Krul Tepes, wasn't aware of the pain anymore. The pain had festered, numbing all else as the flames continued their assault on her body.
It was impossible to die. But even more so, impossible at the thought that she wanted to die.
Vampires had no desire for anything. They did not lust for food, warmth, sleep, sex, or human companionship. One of the things that amused Krul to no end was of how humans, the pitiful creatures that they were, seemed perpetually afraid of death. They would do anything – anything against what they so selfishly desired – to prevent their bodies from decay. Or, shielding their fellow cattle from death itself from their own bodies.
What was the point of human lives? They lived such short lives…and did not have many accomplishments.
Vampires had only desire for blood.
Rich and thick, often sweet or sour, depending on the age, that soothed the boredom and listlessness that was being a vampire.
Krul was almost lulled by the sound of the flames. The heat wasn't too bad now. If only she could…
The broken lids of her eyes snapped open.
It was not only her brother, Ashura that she had sensed. For eternal pain, his aura would always haunt her like a baby's lullaby. Her bargain with Hiiragi Mahiru had fulfilled some of her…desire. A desire that only she and a long-dead vampire-demon child knew. Krul's older brother Ashura was inside the body of Hyakuya Yuuichirou.
Still a demon, and not exactly alive. But still…he existed.
Mika.
Perhaps it would be ironic to some that Ashura was inside the body of the brother of the human, Hyakuya Yuuichirou.
She still remembered of how they met.
Krul had sensed Mika as well.
As always, he would be worried over his precious Yuu-chan. Ferid loved to tease Mika about his feelings for his "angel" Yuuichirou, but Krul understood more than most.
Krul was more similar to Mika than her golden seraph would ever know.
They both had the same desire.
Why? Krul thought. Mika's face bored into her mind. With pale skin and blond hair that cascaded to his neck, Krul had silently agreed with Ferid that the then-half vampire was beautiful. His face was often expressionless, devoid of any emotion, and his blue eyes – ice blue – were apathetic to the despaired world around him.
She hadn't felt anything in her heart for one thousand years. She should not feel anything. Emotions – ugly ones like fear, sadness, rage, and madness – that humans possessed faded away very quickly when turned into a vampire. The memories of the former loved ones, and everything associated with human life faded away to the single terrible red desire.
Why do I care about him?
Her heart was supposed to be dead, so why did she feel anything towards the former human Hyakuya Mikaela? Krul had dismissed it for far too long. She knew it the moment when he came under her "care" instead of killing him and the rest of his family.
She knew it the moment when she saw him dying on the floor with his sweet blood still flowing in her lips as she leaned down for a kiss.
Krul Tepes had called him her pet. Her "son."
She had wanted to protect him.
If she was human, the teenage girl would had cried. Or perhaps laughed at the absurdity from the sheer level of humanity of her emotions.
Of how she wished that he would not meet the same fate as her.
Why did she feel sadness flow inside of her, excruciatingly slow at the sight of his new red eyes, now never showing the blueness within?
Many humans had names for what she was feeling.
Vampires mocked those feelings, mocking the chemicals as a weakness, as a curse…as a kind word for stupidity.
Mika…
Why did she really want the Seraph of the End?It was against the Vampire Law to have these feelings towards a human.
She loved Hyakuya Mikaela.
