This plot came to me as a request. Warning: I do not know that much about Lest Karr so his character may be a little ooc. I do not own Seraph of the End. Enjoy.

"Just go you idiot...now!" Yuu stared at Mika with horror and disbelief. His best friend was barely clinging to life with the amount of blood he had lost from the hole in his stomach and his missing arm; Mika was scared to death yet he pleading with him to not let his sacrifice go to waste.

Tears welled up in Yuu's eyes as he turned and ran towards the exit of the underground vampire city by himself. As he continued to run through the cave tunnel connecting it to the outside world, images of his family filled his mind. They were back there at the entrance, lying in puddles of their own blood, dead because of him. Killed by a sadistic vampire. He wanted to go back, to try and at least save Mika, but his legs just continued forward. So he did the only other thing he could do.

He screamed.

A blast of cold air suddenly hit him, and the next thing he knew he was tumbling down a snow covered hill. He rolled for a moment before he reacted the hill's base. Slowly, he got up. It was a quiet night, yet among the clouds and darkness, Yuu saw Kyoto. The once grand city was now in ruins, there were no lights or sounds, just hollow, empty buildings.

Yuu exhaled, his breath visible in the cold night air. He had done it, he had escaped, he was free; yet the tear in his eyes continued to flow. Anger, sadness, hatred, fear, loneliness- all of these feelings came crashing into him. He had always hated the vampires, even more so now for killing his family, but he was also afraid. He was alone now, his family was gone, and there was probably no one around but the vampires who probably would kill him too if they saw him.

He shivered in his bloody livestock uniform, was it really that bad to die? Sure, he would never be able to get his revenge on the vampires, but he would be with his family again. They had all died because of his weakness, the least he could do was go to them and beg for forgiveness.

Absorbed in his thoughts, Yuu didn't hear the sound of footsteps crunching in the snow. They came closer and closer, but Yuu didn't notice anything until he heard someone speak.

"What's this? It seems one of Krul's human's escaped his pin." Yuu turned around, only to find himself staring at three vampires. Two of them were large common vampires with hoods, but the one in the center was different. He was shorter than Yuu and had the appearance of a child. He worn a black top hat with feathers and child's black suit complete with a white dress shirt, white gloves, and a blue ribbon around his neck. His hair was in braids with one half of it being the color white while the other was maroon.

The child vampire smirked. "Honestly, if one can't keep track of her livestock then one has no right to own livestock. What's more," his red eyes drifted to Yuu's shirt that was covered with Mika's blood, "it seems she allowed one of her subordinates to slay other livestock right in front of you. Am I correct, little livestock?"

Any thoughts of dying vanished the moment Yuu heard the arrogant tone of the vampire's voice and saw his red eyes. The hatred he felt, and his desire for revenge consumed him. He charged towards the young vampire, his fist raised ready to strike the vampire that dared call him livestock.

It happened quickly. The next thing he knew he was lying in the snow with a hand on his throat, squeezing it tightly. The vampire looked down at him with a bored look on his face.

"Third Progenitor," one of the hooded vampires spoke.

"Don't interfere," he ordered, his gaze never left Yuu. "That was a very foolish move human. Surely you know vampires are far stronger than humans, so why would you even attempt such a thing? Are you tired of living?"

There was a brief flicker of fear in Yuu's eyes when the vampire spoke, followed by a look of hatred and fiery determination. He couldn't die, not now, and he mentally curse himself for even thinking such a thing. He had to live. He had to avenge his family.

"I'll kill you," he muttered, "I'll kill all of you, the way you killed my family!" Something warm came out of the corner of his eye and trailed downwards. He didn't even know he was still crying.

"Family?" the vampire said, then he suddenly chuckled. "How ignorant can you human's be? You losing your 'family' has nothing to do with me. To blame me because of another vampire's actions is foolish."

"I don't care!" Yuu cried, "you bloodsuckers are all the same to me!" The hand on his throat squeezed harder, and he began to gasp for air.

Third Progenitor Lest Karr stared down at the struggling human. 'All the same', he had said. For some reason that hit his vampire pride. He was not like the other vampires; he was a third progenitor-one of the highest ranked vampires in the world-, the king of Germany, and the ruler of Europe. How dare this nameless human livestock insult him by saying he was the same any other vampire.

He remained calm as he continued to watch the human struggle. He had spirit, Lest would give him that, but there was something else as well. The longer he stared at the human the more curious he became about him. Why was he here? Outside? Why wasn't he more afraid? Why did he attack Lest knowing he didn't have a change against him? The human's emerald green eye shown with determination and fight, not to mention raw power unlike anything the third progenitor had seen in a human before.

Yuu's struggling proved to be tiresome. When Lest let go of his throat he did nothing but lie there and gasp for breath. The progenitor took the opportunity to look at the tag around his neck.

Yuuichiro Hyakuya

Lest's eyes widen when he saw the name. Krul hadn't kill the experiments in the Hyakuya sect as she had claimed, which was obvious by the fact there one in his presence. Why? He would have to look into it later.

He thought for a moment, the boy had said his family had been killed, which probably meant the other experiments were now dead. He was the only survivor, the only one who possessed the forbidden seraph gene.

Lest suddenly grinned as an idea came to him. Meddling with the seraph gene was against the vampire's law, but there was nothing that said he couldn't keep a holder of the seraph gene close to him. The human-Yuuichiro-had potential even without the gene, and he could just imagine the look on Krul's face when she saw that he knew she had defied the council by allowing a seraph to live.

Either way, the human was useful to him. Not to mention very amusing.

"'We're all the same', you say?" He hadn't forgotten that part. "Well, if that is what you believe, then I feel entitled to prove you wrong."

Yuu lifted his head up, still glaring at the vampire, "What do you..." he didn't have a chance to finish his sentence. His world ent black as Lest had quickly struck him on the side of his neck.

Silently, Lest stood up and brushed the snow off his knees before turning to his two aids. "Collect him and bring him to the plane, we're leaving."

One of his aids nodded and quickly went over and picked Yuu up, the other just stood there with a confused look on his face.

"I apologize, Lord Lest," he said, "but I don't understand. I thought you wanted to surprise Lady Krul and..."

"I changed my mind," Lest said dismissively. "No one knows I'm here anyway and I do have matters to attend to in Europe. Besides..." he looked over at Yuu's unconscious form.

"I have a new pet to train."

Thank you for the request. Let me know what you think.
