They knew that he was Yu's last family member. He had been dreaming of saving him since that day on Shjnjuku. They did their best to protect him from the army for the sake of the unconscious boy hunched over Kimizuki's back. But things didn't went as expected.
The squad stood aghast upon seeing Mika wrapped by a cursed chain. Each haunted by Mika's agonized shaky breaths. He fell to the ground.

"Kureto-sama. We had encountered a problem with our experimentation with Kimizuki Mirai."
"Why is that?"
"We don't know. But she seems to be preventing control."
"Are there any subjects that could be used temporarily? The experiment must not be interrupted."
"Our recent captive. He possesses a seraph gene."
"The vampire?"
"Mikaela Hyakuya."

Asuramaru was standing above his sword as usual. He was seeing him again. Yu sat up and looked at his demon as it spoke.
"You're very direct with love and desire, Yu. You have no sense of right or wrong when protecting your family."
His violet frizzy hair waved in the wind produced by his mental perspective. Why was he seeing him again anyway? Was it because he was unconscious or something?
"You've been asleep for a long long time."
Yu was surprised. He stood up. His fists were clenched.
"How was Guren? How were the others?" he asked with a force.
Asuramaru giggled as he jumped down the samurai. One foot on a tiptoe. He walked steps nearer to Yu.
"See, that topic again. There is something more worth of your concern right now."
What else would that be?
And then it came to him.
Yu gasped.

"MIKA!"
It was the third time he woke up in that hospital. His hand was raised up again, as if catching someone falling from above. Yu was breathing heavily. Like a flash of deja vu, he looked right to who's beside him.
"Yoichi? What happened? Where's Guren?"
The boy looked up at Yu drowsily. But was ecstatic after seeing Yu awake, rushing out of the room.
"No one's harmed. Everyone was shocked to see the Hiragis on our way to Nagoya airport. Guren was still held by the noble vampires."
As Shinoa explained, she could see Yu was displaying a hard expression. His fists were clenched. She could also sense that the others do not want to open up a topic that could lead Yu to something outrageous again. Yu was now mad. She wouldn't let him to get any madder.
After resting from the battle, they had decided to keep their mouths shut to Yu until they had found out the Demon Army's intention for claiming Mika.

"I'm going to save Guren."
"No. You can't. I won't let you."
"I can't handle this teamwork thing anymore, Shinoa."
"I'm not stopping you for the squad."
"Then what is it?"
"..M-Mika-san."
"What's with Mika?"
"He's in more danger."
