RUTHLESS YET FRAGILE

A land which was known as a place where the ferocious vampires exist, the blood-sucking demon who was devouring blood of those pitiful human. Vampires were powerful and ruthless that they also started to roam in the human land where they relentlessly suck the blood of those human that do not possess any power and were vulnerable.

After a war between the swore enemy of the vampire which were the werewolves, they successfully won the battle but unfortunately both of the respectable King and Queen died in the war and their one and only son was left behind to rule the land, a seventeen years old prince took the throne and ruled all over the land but something wasn't certainly right when the young King became tyrant and exiled every individual who opposed him and hence the noble can't do anything and some synthetic noble continued to root for the young King for they will have a power if they continued to be on his side.

The Human were seen as a feast that suffice their thirst for blood and devoured them as some of them died of losing a lot of blood or even not having a single drop of blood in their corpse. Some of the vampire lived in the human land and live like a normal being some were Hollywood actress, singer, some were known worldwide and freely roam the human land.

(note: this is in modern times.)

the young king stayed in his castle for he was sure that a lot of person was hoping to assassinate him but he was pure-blooded and was the powerful among the nobles and mid-class persons. As the one and only royal left behind still many nobles wanted to have their daughters sent to the tyrant young king for they will have a power but to their dismay the young king knew their motive better than anyone. He had the power, the looks, and the pure-blood that every vampire would wish for hence many maidens wanted to be his bride albeit he was a demon, ruthless, and cruel lad. And HE was Natsume Hyuuga.

The young king with his unruly raven hair and hypnotizing crimson eyes with a pale skin and masculine body motioned his hand to the ornately window. He looked at his land with those unreadable crimson eyes, still motionless until a voice was heard from the door of his chamber.

"Your majesty, I have reported back from my mission." The lad said that captured the attention of the king. The King didn't reply to the said sentence for he knew that he'll open the door and welcome himself to his chamber because the lad had the permission to enter his chamber.

And the huge door opened revealing a lad with a blonde hair and sapphire orbs, he had a pale skin too and well-built body because of his appearance that follows the looks of the king he maybe around the age of the king too.

"Didn't I say to call me Natsume and don't use formal speaking to me." the king who knew the lad spoke as he looked at him.

"But it's being impolite to your majesty if anyone heard." the lad said in a worry tone and lead himself near the ornate window where the king was leaning on.

"Then use it when nobody's around." the king diverted his gaze again to the scenery through the window.

"The nine noble agreed with us , the only thing that we should do now is to wait..." the lad said with a smirk on his face as a bunny jumped on his arm and he caressed it then looked at the king waiting for a response.

The king then smirked as he knew what would be the result of what they have done. "they should knew better than anyone what will happen to them when they mistakenly bump into me but they were stubborn, well I guess I can't help it but do this."

And then the next day came, the sun gave it's warmth to the people in sight of it when the bird sweetly chirped and the fresh air just seemed to agree with the warmth of the sun that happily touched everyone's skin.

A news came in flash, a messenger just went in to the hall where the soldiers lined in the side that gives off a space in the middle that had a carpet on it for the messenger to walk on, on the end of it was a seven steps stair and on top of it was an ornate chair where the king was sitting with his leg on top of the other and his two arm rested on the both side of the chair. To the side of the king was the blonde with sapphire eyes lad who was standing still.

The messenger's knee found it's way on the ground and his head bowed low in front of the king then he lifted his head and stood still saying the message he was given of "your majesty, the tenth noble was nowhere to be found and we also spotted this letter that had your majesty's name on it that we believed that this was to be given to you, your majesty."

The general that was in front of the soldier's line came to the messenger to take the letter then he ascended to the seven steps stairs and before giving off the letter to the respected king, he knelt down and bowed his head low then he stood and gave the letter to the proper person to be given of.

The king eyed the messenger while the general took his time to descend to the seven steps stairs. " You may go." the king's voice was heard at the silence of the hall then he rose from his seat and was followed by the blonde lad. The only sight of them was their backs that was vanishing without a trace.

...Night...

The king was sitting as he remembered the letter that was on the table, he lifted his arm and reached for it, he held the letter, opened and it read.

To the tyrant king,

We maybe dead or we may have survive if ever you read this, you threatened the nobles not to help us and you send us a lot of vampire that was under your command. If the previous King and Queen never die this land would have been able to improve and we wouldn't like this, it's all your fault, it's your fault why the King and Queen died and it's because of your wrapped attitude and all, you're a failure that you have to dispose those who oppose you... to send them to the hell but don't forget this they maybe come back for you and pull you with them to go to the depth of hell...

Don't forget this family you destroy,

The tenth noble family...

"Hmph, well, all you can do now is whine..." Natsume smirked and was finally satisfied when he heard a voice of someone who he certainly knew. he didn't even flinch he just stood there still.

"Natsume, aren't we getting overboard?" the blonde lad said as he appeared out of nowhere with the bats flying around him until it was all gone.

"Ruka, we already have done it, there's no taking back..." Natsume said as he neared to the window and looked through it saying "it's almost time..."

"Ruka, I'm going out it's suffocating in here." he walked near to his king sized bed and took off his cloak and he laid it down there, hence now he was only in white long-sleeve polo shirt with charcoal-gray slacks and black shoes. he had an unruly raven hair and the same hypnotizing crimson orbs with his piercing on his ears and scent that was really like him.

"Don't tell me, you're going there!" Ruka said in disbelief for he knew where that place was.

"That don't tell me' of yours is were I'm exactly going to." Natsume opened the window and jumped off through it, successfully infiltrating from going out of the castle leaving a dumbfounded Ruka behind.

As Natsume reached the so called 'don't tell me' place that they were referring just earlier which was the Sakura Tree, he descended and sat there leaning his back on its trunk as he thought what happen that day, the day his parents promised to him that they'll be back.

Flashback

"Otou sama, okaa sama, where are you going?" said by an innocent child to his parent.

"Oh Natsume, you should do what I say, don't leave this castle because it's dangerous out there and your father and mother will put an end to it so just stay here." her lovely mother with her father who patted his head warmly walk and go.

Natsume ran to them and tugged to his parents clothes as he begged "father, mother, don't leave me..."

"Don't worry son, we'll be back, don't worry, we promise..." his father gave him a warm hug and lovingly smile and continue to walk with their back in sight which was vanishing without a trace.

The next day, rather than rejoicing they were mourning for a certain respective leader that causes them to win the battle.

"Where's mother and father?" a certain raven haired boy who was clueless asked a maid but the maid only cried and patted his head and said "they were in a good place now."

"But they promise to me they would be back." but the maid only smiled to him like she was about to break into pieces "Sometime, they will be back."

End of the Flashback

He thought to himself they promise they'll be back but they broke it... I've waited but like you've said but you never came.

It's all your fault, it's your fault why the King and Queen died... he remembered what the letter state.

It's all your fault. it kept on repeating in his mind.

It's all your fault ...

It's all your fault ...

It's all your fault ...

When he was about to snap, he heard a voice, a calming voice. Right now he hoped it'll comfort him from the hurt he felt, he hoped it will. He wanted a comforting arm to hug him to feel the warmth again like how his parents would. He missed them, their smile, touch, scent and presence. He wanted a hand to held him. He wanted a lips to smile at him sweetly. He wanted a person to make him feel it all again.

He subconsciously followed where the voice was coming from and he saw a maiden standing before a tree and was singing to her heart's content. She had a brunette hair that was until her waist and it was tied with a ribbon. She had a delicate skin that radiates because of the moon's light and lastly she had a hazel eyes that matches perfectly to her brunette hair.

Haru ni saku hana

Natsu hirogaru sora yo

Kokoro no naka ni

Kizamarete kirameku

it seems the time stopped and all he could hear was her singing, her sweet voice engulfed his very mind that it calmed him, it made him forget about what he was thinking exactly..

Asa ni furu ame

Mado wo tozasu hi ni mo

Mune ni afureru hikari wa

Kumo no ue

Yorokobi kanashimi

Subete daite aruiteiru

Watashi no te to

Kimi no te wo

Tsuyoku tsunagu mono

As she stopped singing, she looked at the direction Natsume was standing and there she said "oh you're listening, how embarrassing." she said cheerfully as she smiled warmly to him as he thought that he wouldn't be able to encounter such smile again. She walked to him and asked him "why're you here?"

"None of your business." Natsume diverted his gaze to another while this certain brunette haired human maiden just answered him by "well, don't stay here 'till late, it's cold so take this." she place her neck scarf around his to keep him warm and then smiled at him.

"I really don't need this because I don't get sick like humans do." he was about to take off the scarf when she said "you talked funny." then she laughed modestly "but doesn't it makes you feel warm." she stated not asked.

But he just continue saying "monsters don't get sick."

the brunette looked clueless when he said it as he sensed it, he pulled out a dagger out of nowhere and asked her to stab him anywhere. "what are you saying?" Now the brunette had a worried face with a confused tone with her.

She won't stab him hence he took the dagger and stab himself. The maiden stood there in horror and her hands were shaking. When he was about to stab himself again she stopped him and took the dagger off of his hand and threw it as far as she could. The brunette hair that was in ribbon was now set free as she held her ribbon to bandage him when she was about to touch him he held her wrist and said "look..."

The maiden looked at the wounded part and it slowly heal like nothing happened, the flesh was intact and good as new. Now, she looked at his face as he said again "monsters don't get sick."

"Monster like me who sucks blood from human were powerful so I don't get sick." the maiden can't believe what she just witnessed.

"m m monster?" she said in disbelief. she looked at him intently she placed her hand on his cheek with a worried looking face and he was there standing still.

"So run now if you don't want to get your blood suck." he threatened her.

"Then... suck it." she didn't move an inch.

"I'll kill you." Natsume said mercilessly. she was just right in front of him caressing his cheeks so he lifted his right hand at the back of her head and then hit her gently as she looked at him with her eyes soon closing, her body was losing it's balance until he held and lifted her bridal style.

he just made her sleep and he really didn't know what came into him but he just felt like she was different from all.
