This is a Seraph of the End fanfiction only.

Just my rotten luck no Vampires on the way back, and it was not a base it was a walled off the city by the looks of it. If that was not bad enough it was filled with humans who were as useless as the people Vampires called livestock, at least there they did something useful. Here they mostly complained about everything under the sun or go on contests to see who had the biggest ego or was the dumbest, at least that is what I figured.

I after a solid week I was going nuts, I actually volunteered to go on patrols just so that I would have something to do. Mostly involved walking around and looking at the ruins around me. On a good day, I got to fight a monster or two unless a higher rank wanted to show off to the officers and tried to kill the monster I found first.

My bed was a cold slab of concrete as far as I was concerned, never realized till now just how much I miss my wife, honestly, I do. In our bed was comfortable, warm, and could sleep with my arms wrapped around the waist of my beloved Skuld, here I was cold, alone and had lousy food. To say that my life had gone downhill would be too obvious to mention.

In one of my patrols, a few higher ranked soldiers were trying to kill a horseman of all things, that thing could eat the two of them as a snack, I took hold of my sword and ran towards them . "Private Flores, stay away from this location. This monster is too tough for the someone as low ranking as you. You will only get yourself and we killed. Wait for reinforcements, that is an order!"

I looked at the Sargent and I looked at the monster, "Like I run from something as puny as that thing." I ran with my sword in hand and jumped up in the air as I came down I slashed the horseman head off and down his chest as I slid along his chest down towards the ground.

You would expect the two obese, dumb looking bastards to thank me for saving their lives, but no the only thank you I got was a suspension and I got sent to a school where civilian kids went to study. I guess these idiots just don't understand that I knew more than all the teachers in that school put together.

To me it was boring, it was very boring, who am I kidding I was bored to tears and I don't cry that often. Life consisted of me taking naps and getting top marks on my tests without even having to try. It is at times like this I really wish my old Crusnick teacher was still around. Having finished my training she just went to sleep as she called it, and no amount of cussing or screaming would wake her up, I should know, I tried.

One day the teacher was talking about the diet of Vampires and the many weaknesses they believe they had, I could tell you all about the enthusiasm he placed talking about garlic, holy water, wooden stakes to the heart, and even silver crosses. I could tell you he really believed this stuff, which I knew from personal experience and having a Vampire wife that it was pure and utter bullshit.

The garlic was very much like in the humans, some Vampires were simply allergic, couldn't eat the stuff, neither can I come to think of it. The taste of raw garlic makes me gag. The holy water they could drink it and gargle with it, it was water, after all, the wooden stake well who wouldn't that kill? The silver cross was also useless since some Vampires were actually devout Christians.

I closed my eyes and waiting to take my nap, but that is when I felt a stick of chalk hit me right between the eyes, "Hector if you think I will let you sleep in my class you have another thing coming. This is the sort of things you need to learn or you will not live to regret it."

I had enough of this bloated idiot, "I happen to know all the things you are talking about are a bunch of stupid myths, and not based on facts. Take it from a guy who lived with Vampires, I lived for a long time in one of their cities, so trust me when I say the supposed weaknesses you are teaching are pure and utter bullshit!"

He throws the eraser at me, "I will not have you disrespect my class or my authority in this class, another challenge to my authority or an excuse to be a class clown and I will suspend you from class!"

I think I got an early present when I heard that last part. "You mean you will actually suspend me from this crappy class? Wow, and I didn't think you actually care. I am touched in ways words can't possibly express. I humbly request that I be suspended immediately!"

The teacher looked at me like I had grown a second head or gone completely insane. That is when I felt a person touch my back and pointed at her notebook. "If you keep acting up and not cooperate in class your suspension will be extended till you learn to cooperate."

I looked at her and I knew she wasn't kidding, "You mean I have to listen to this idiot and get along with him? I heard monsters belch more interesting things that this imbecile ever could. I need to get the hell out of this city dump and hunt me down a nice meal. The stuff I ate tastes horrible."

The teacher threw his coffee mug at me which I caught with my hand. "Thank you for the gift Teach, I will put it to good use drinking that bland crud that is my only food so far."

She took hold of my shoulder and pushed trying to get me to sit down, "Gurren knows I can hunt Vampires, that I want to hunt down Vampires, that I need to hunt down Vampires, that is all he should care about."

The class ended as the teacher left to complain to the principal I think or go into the teacher's lounge to roll into a ball and cry like a little baby, either way, I didn't care. "He actually said that you would say something like that, so he gave me a message for you."

Finally, I was about to get the hell out of this dump and back on the field, or so I thought till I opened the letter. 'A cherry boy like you has no business hunting anything out in the field, you are going to be suspended till you make at least one human friend, and be sure to introduce that friend to me. Knowing you I am not holding my breath.'

The classes ended and I began to walk towards my usual place to have my lousy meal. I really miss you Skuld, you have no idea how much I miss you. I went up the stairs till I was on the roof terrace, it had a nice view of the city and the wall that surrounded the city. Some idiot fell down from this place so there was a chain fence around the terrace.

I sat down on one of the stone benches and took out my blood transfusion bag. I opened it and took a sip from it, "Why can't you be nice and cooperate? You know since humanity is so low in population it is our duty to rebuild and repopulate the species."

Looking at her I often wondered how in the world did she belong in my class, her face was somewhat cute, but her body left much to be desired, her chest was flat, her waist as average and her hips were too narrow.

She jumped up on the nearby bench and looked at me with a creepy smile on her face, "You know it is our duty to get along, get together, engage in illicit sexual relations! Come one everyone gets together, screw and get knocked up like a bunch of mutts in heat!"

I nearly gagged on my blood as she screamed that, "You know Shinoa, I will never and I mean ever sleep with anyone in this or any other place. I happen to be happily married thank you very much, so much for morals from my surveillance officer. The way you talk you make women at a whorehouse seem chaste."

"I only have this bland stuff to eat, it is bad enough without you throwing shame down the nearest incinerator." I finished my meal and threw the bag into the nearest recycling bin.

She walked over to me and smiled that creepy smile again, "So you say, but I can see you looking at my beautiful little body of mine, I can almost tell that you want to rip the clothes off me and have your way with me."

I had just opened the door that leads to the staircase when I heard her say that, I turned around and looked at her, she flinched and walked back a little as I glared at her, "Get this through that brain of yours. I am happily married, there is no power on earth that would make me cheat on my wife, I wouldn't cheat on her even if the entire survival of your species depended on it!"

I began to walk down and I could tell that she was following me, as the door to the terrace close I heard her say something I was not expecting, she always had to have the last word. "What a lucky woman to have such a faithful husband, it is almost enough to make a girl feel envious."

As I walked down I reached the ground floor, that is when I saw a rather average looking brunette getting hassled by a bunch of thugs. Her hair was cut short, didn't reach to her shoulders and I guess she had C cup breasts, nice waist and average hips for someone her age, she looked like she was the same age as me and Shinoa.

"Guys, I am sorry but I am out of money. I can't buy the stuff you want for lunch." Great, this young woman was getting hassled not because they wanted to get busy with her, it was because these bullies wanted to steal her lunch money.

I guess I better step in and deal with the situation, "Come on guys, don't you think you are being a little too pushy with her. Why don't you go and get something nice and let the poor girl get her lunch." I took out my wallet and decided since I didn't spend any money on food I gave them enough for them to buy their food.

"Well look at mister money bags here, you know what guys I think he is right. We just found out newest money well and for starters, you will give us everything you got or we will kill you." The three idiots got out some pathetic looking daggers and began walking towards me.

Shinoa was actually smiling at my predicament. "You know Gurren will extend your suspension if you harm innocent civilians." I looked at her and then looked at them. In the time I looked between them one stabbed me in the back. They probably expected me to faint from the pain.

"I think self-defense has been established, and since this is a mugging there are no innocent civilians in that group, if I was you Shinoa I would call for the ambulance since there are three idiots that will more than likely need it."

I took the dagger out of my back and twirled it on my open hand. "You know on second thought this dagger is simply too nice to use on a bunch of greedy bastards like you, got any final words?"

I tossed the dagger and it was buried into the wall next to one of the fools. "Come on guys, it's three against one, he is just bluffing." I decided to show some restraint and only used my bare minimum as power was concerned.

I ran towards them and with a single backhanded slap I sent the three of them against the wall. As they fell down the imprints of their bodies was clearly imprinted on the wall they hit. I walked towards them and began to beat them up to the rhythm of working on the railroad.

As security and the ambulance showed up they were getting ready to arrest me for assault charges until the young woman decided to explain to them that the three who were taken by the ambulance were actually trying to mug me.

I looked at her and smiled, "Well that clears up one lousy incident, now tell me why didn't you call the police if those three were clearly trying to mug you?"

She laughed as she heard my question, "Actually they were not mugging me at all, I was trying to be friends with them since they all passed the military acceptance exams I figured they could help me pass my exams, I failed my last entrance exams."

I couldn't believe that I misunderstood the situation this badly, "So my good deed was a colossal waste of effort. Great, this makes me feel a whole lot better. I guess you are going to be mad at me for interfering with you attempt to win their friendship."

She began to blush as she heard me say that and began shaking her head, "On no, I am most grateful, it's the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me."
