A filthy lingering stench hung in the stale air. The few citizens still wandering around the area quickly left the place, but those who aren't aware of the happenings in this area will soon fall into its trap.

A bloodcurdling scream echoed into the night. The faint fragrance of that distinct metallic substance filled the night, picked up only by those gifted ones. Midorima sniffed the air, the scent causing his eyes to turn red instinctively.

"So noisy… He'll wake, you know…"

He glanced down at the body beside him, tucked in neatly in the large white silk king-sized bed.

"But it should be time soon, right…? Akashi…"

He could only sigh and silently wish for the slumbering prince to wake and seize his throne once again. He leaned back against the back of the chair, pondering upon the state of reality. The world had fell into a hell out of proportion ever since its ruler was cursed into a deep sleep, one that would only end when his other half reaches the coming-of-age and he would have two weeks to embrace the other or death would befall on him. But the prince hadn't showed any sign of awaking for a century already.

Was it really worth waiting for a miracle…?

Midorima sighed, his hand tightly squeezing the arm rest; his patience has worn thin over the decades. He looked up at the ceiling, and prayed to a god that no longer cared for them.

'Kami-sama…'

Draining the last of his prey, Kise pulled away. He wiped away the blood that had spilled in the process. His senses were skyrocketed, when he sensed another presence behind him. Recognizing the aura of the person, he smirked.

"Was I that careless, Aominecchi~?" Tilting his head back to glance at the tanned man standing behind him, his smirk shifted into a Cheshire cat grin. He barely jumped out of the way of a katana coming swiftly down.

"Don't address me so familiarly, vampire."

"Ehh~ But I like you Aominecchi."

Aomine visibly tensed, his grip on the katana tightening, obviously displeased with the other's words. He had been chasing this vampire for the last three months. But to no avail. The other could easily slip from his grasp, every single time. Aomine cringed; the thoughts not settling well in his mind. How he wished he could end this quickly, the vampire was getting on his nerves. The taunts, the never-ending teasing, and that irritating look in his eyes, portraying an emotion Aomine could not understand. It frustrated him to no end.

Kise took a confident step forward, knowing fully that Aomine was powerless against him. Kise was far more powerful than what's seen on the surface; Aomine was a relatively new hunter with only training experience and a few assisting missions on his belt, this was his first solo mission.

"It's a nice name, don't you think so?"

"It's NOT!" In his rage, Aomine took another swing at the vampire, this time causing a thin line of blood to appear on his cheek. Kise stumbled back in shock. Raising a hand to the cut, Kise stared hard at the hunter.

"Now you've done it…" With speed that the human eye cannot adapt to, he attacked him. Aomine was prepared, however he was still pushed back, landing hard on his back to the ground. The grin didn't dwindle, instead it widen almost impossibly, revealing sharp canines.

"You should know better than to harm a model's face… A-o-mi-ne-cchi," he said darkly, never taking his sight off the hunter.

Suddenly, as though there was a loud sound, Kise's attention was stolen from his prey in front of him. He was looking up to the sky, his eyes not focusing on anything.

"Hm… Looks like we'll have to play another time, see you soon~" As quickly as he had attacked him, he disappeared into the darkness.
Aomine panted heavily, flinging his katana aside in his frustration.

"Damn vampire! I'll get you someday."

The door opened in the darkness; a figure slipped in through the gap, making not a single sound. The door closed as quickly and quietly as it had opened. The figure moved across the room, seemingly floating, completely silent.

The bedroom door was opened, revealing the sleeping resident. The figure loomed over the other, silently watching.

Just watching him as he slept.

As though he felt the presence of another person, the sleeping figure shifted, eyes blinking, heavy with sleep.

"Hm, Aomine-kun… You're back."

"Go back to sleep, Tetsu."

"Has Kagami-kun returned?"

"No, not yet. Don't worry, he can handle himself."

Aomine could see the worry plaguing the other boy's face; he sighed.

"We'll go look for him in the morning, now rest."

Kuroko nodded, relaxing back on his bed, hoping for daylight to come quickly.

Hey did you know? The prince was amazing in every aspect, his lover not so. The prince ruled over the entire demon world. His powers surpassed that of his ancestors and his descendants could only wish to touch him. All demons respected him and bow down to his every command. Even so, he treated his kind well and thus became the favorite ruler of all time. Many expected him to wed a beautiful strong wife to continue his blood.

None would even have thought of this girl becoming the apple of the prince's eye.

She was human; and in the eyes of demons, humans were weak beings. But even as a human, she was considered weak. Her physical strength was minimal, her presence non-existent; she was neither pretty or ugly. Yet this ordinary girl could capture the heart of the demon prince. Though no one knew of it, for the prince feared for her life.

The prince and his lover experienced setbacks and hardships far more than possible in one lifetime. It is a test of their determination, their faith, their love. But it ended in sadness. His lover ended her life for him in a moment of desperation. The prince was cursed on that fateful night of his 100th birthday. No one knew who did it. No one knew why. All they know is from a letter left behind.

When he awakens, he must find his lover, one he kept secret from all, one he loved so dearly but died. He will have two weeks to embrace her or die.

As the new chapter of their love begins, will it end in the same sorrow, or open up to new possibilities and reach their happily ever after?

Only God knows, or maybe even he doesn't. For this is a story of the demon prince and his lover, a bridge created between two worlds, a broken rule that is judged by fate alone. Maybe, just maybe, destiny may be kind to them this time.

At the stroke of midnight, it was almost like a sweet moment of reunion, their minds connecting without them even realizing, their feelings blossoming from nothing but an innocent emotion. At the same time, it opened the doors of danger.


There we go~

Ok it sounds pretty boring I know but do let me know what you think!
