Alright my readers! For all those who commented, favorited, or followed, I sincerely thank you! I really never thought of updating until September you know? I also apologize for the extremely short chapters; I simply don't have that kind of attention span to write for so long. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

I do not own Owari no Seraph. *sobs*

It was always that same dream.

The throes from the past were painful. I could see every detail so clearly, just how vibrant that scarlet fluid was, just how loud their screams were.

Just how weak and helpless I was.

I saw Mika's last moments the clearest. The person who was always so frolicsome that it was almost annoying, the person who cared for his family more than himself, the first person who I had truly liked.

The person who I had betrayed in that crimson splattered room and whose memory would haunt me for the rest of my life.

When Yuu and I had escaped, I thought we were free. However, I soon learned that would never be the case as we were brought into an army called the 'Japanese Imperial Demon Army'. Too long I tell you, if we were to quickly prove our innocence in a world like this, who would wait ten seconds for a child to say a long organization like that?

Humanity had apparently not died out, and that fact practically made me want to march back into that prison behind us and slap the person who started the rumor.

After being taken into the army, we had trained to aim to be the best of the best. Yuu was driven by pure rage, his hatred for the vampires was admirable I had to admit, but I worried it would kill him someday in the field.

Four years flew by quickly, and where we found ourselves?

Seated in a classroom.

Have I ever commented on how much I hated Yuu's impulsive nature?

Just days before, he had disobeyed orders and went ahead of his troop to kill a Four Horseman of John; OK, really, who named these things.

Due to his disobedience and recklessness, he apparently had to make friends to allow him to take action once again. And after the entire massacre, he wasn't exactly likely to do what he considered his biggest mistake; making friends.

I watched him as he was, not so subtly, conversing with his army surveillance observer though notebook writings. I could partially agree with him though, I wouldn't be exactly ecstatic to make new 'friends'. I felt better keeping to myself, even back when Mika…

Let's not go back into that dark corner of your mind Tsubasa.

I sighed, hopefully this suspension from the front lines wasn't going to last long, I was only there to tag along with him, the suspension wasn't for me as well.

Ah, there he went again, blabbering for Guren to put him into the Vampire Extermination Unit. I walked over and bopped him on the head.

"You're never going to get in if you keep up this childish act of yours."

"Psh, don't act so high and mighty, you have to make friends as well you know. "

"… No, last time I checked, it was just you. Right, Shinoa?"

"Mm, that's right. Its just Yuu over here."

"Damn it!"

I smirked in victory at his distress. Maybe I could mess with him a little further…

Ah, he had already gone outside to the shoeboxes. I quickly gathered my belongings and hurried outside to follow him.

"Please stop!" A distressed sounding voice caught my attention; I looked from the shelves of lockers to where a boy with brown hair was being pushed down my delinquents.

I started to walk over to the group when the three had walked into another locker section. I peeked in and saw them converging on Yuu.

"Oh, and I forgot to tell you," I quickly looked over Yuu's shoulder to find Shinoa still standing there, "Your suspension will be lengthened if you beat up a civilian." I saw a look of shock pass through Yuu's face before he got punched.

"P- please stop this!" I said in a mock scared tone. When the delinquents looked over and saw me, I saw a look of shock and then a lecherous smile get plastered on his face. Dude, already? I was only fifteen and you got people our age preying on others.

"Ha? Is this your girlfriend brat?" Girlfriend? Yuu was nowhere near my standards when it came to men; he would never stand a chance.

Despite my inner thoughts, I kept on playing the innocent act. As the group approached me, I sent a downed Yuu an assuring wink; I knew what I was doing.

As they kept on approaching me, I slowly backed away, still keeping up my fake façade. When the leader was practically towering over me, I dropped the act, and kneed him in the place where he would likely be feeling it for a couple more minutes.

I saw a look of shock and pain flicker on his face as he dropped to the ground and clutched his wounded manhood. I quickly sent the mans lackeys a death glare and they both hesitated before helping their friend, who was still in obvious pain, up on his feet and dragging him away.

I looked over to the boy with brown hair and held out a hand to help him up. Yuu and Shinoa joined us and the new guy would not stop apologizing.

"Why were you being bullied by them anyway?" Yuu asked.

"I- I'm not being bullied!" he exclaimed, then looked down. "I- I have a favor that I asked of Yamanaka. I, um, failed the entrance exams to the Demon Army but I want to join no matter what; so I asked Yamanaka who was a potential recruit into the Moon Demon Company." That guy? No way… Some guy like him who couldn't do simple errands by himself and flaunted his status couldn't possibly be recruited…

"I wanted revenge for my sister." I looked at the guy, nah it was Yoichi right? "To protect me, my sister was killed by a vampire." Ah, so that was the reason, meh, it wasn't really valid enough for me.

"If all you want is revenge, then you're better off not joining the corps." I could see their gazes turning towards me. "Fighting for something that doesn't exist, how idiotic is that? They're already gone, just get over it." I mumbled the last part to myself; I was just being a hypocrite wasn't I? After all, my motive to kill the vampires was fueled by that massacre four years ago.

BOOM!

I quickly whipped my head towards the explosion, and then I heard screaming.

"Emergency alert! This is a message to all students and faculty members. A vampire from a nearby biological research facility has escaped. All students please proceed to the safe rooms on the campus. I repeat…"

" We don't need to wait for the Moon Demon Company!" I looked over at Yuu, I partially knew what he would say next, "I'm gonna actually kill one and force Guren to finally acknowledge me." Yup, some people just never change.

I laughed at myself; yea, and you were just going to follow him blindly again weren't you?

Of course I would, he was my family after all.

Ha, what more meaning did that word mean to me anymore?

Ignoring that little nagging voice in my head, I ran ahead to catch up to Yuu.

So, school is going to start for me in the beginning of September and I frankly don't know if I can or will update during the school year. I'm also going on a trip soon so I don't got time...

Excuses, I know.

I typed up all of this today so there will be a few parts that either won't make sense or my grammar was off. For that I apologize and if you would point it out to me though PM or review, that would be nice.

Anyway, review if you want, I'm not a stickler for those kinds of things.
