Vampire
Chapter 3
Warning:- Slight evil 10018. Hinted 5927 and definitely shown 6927.
Guilt was one thing a vampire slayer should not feel. They may blame themselves in the moment for not being able to save a human from a vampire who was supposed to be killed by then, but they cannot feel guilt right after it.
Tsuna sat in the medical room, Mukuro looking over his scratches and grazes carefully before petting his head.
"You're perfectly fine, Tsunayoshi-kun." said Mukuro softly, tugging at the long plaster on Tsuna's neck and smiling sadly. "Still hasn't healed..."
"But it doesn't hurt anymore!" blurted Tsuna, in hopes that Mukuro would cheer up a bit.
"Kufufu." chuckled Mukuro lightly, petting the brunette's head. "I can sense your worry."
Tsuna flinched. As a vampire slayer, he had been taught that he was not allowed to worry about others other than himself. He found it pathetic. He only agreed to do his vampire duties to protect his friends! He couldn't even protect one of them!
"Will Hibari-san be ok?" asked Tsuna quietly, causing Mukuro frowned.
"I cannot answer that."
"A-Ah..." Tsuna bowed his head, unsure on what to say now.
"Do not fret too much, my little Vampire slayer." murmured Mukuro gently. "From the kind of person Byakuran Gesso is, Kyoya Hibari will not be killed. After all, I can tell this much. He craves the taste of your blood."
"B-But it's illegal to-"
"He doesn't give a damn about Vampire laws." said Mukuro, releasing the brunette boy from his grip. "Be wary, Tsunayoshi-kun."
"H-Hai..." mumbled Tsuna in response, choking and clutching at his chest. Mukuro let out a sigh.
"And why Vongola the Ninth chose someone as frail as you to be the heir is still a wonder to me."
"Judaime?" said Gokudera quietly, opening the door slowly into the darkened room, a relieved sigh leaving him to find Tsuna lying in his bed, but the turned into a worried gasp to see that the boy was choking. "Judaime!"
Running over and forcing Tsuna to sit up, Gokudera hit him across the back, hearing a horrible retching noise coming from the one he cried 'Tenth'.
"G-Gokudera-kun..." choked Tsuna, retching once more and then took in a gulp of air. "C-C-Can I have s-some wate-r...?"
"Of course!" said Gokudera, getting back to his feet and running out the room. Choking a little more, Tsuna covered his mouth and then let the tears run out his face,
"No... N-No..." Tsuna wiped at his eyes. "Just a dream... just a d-dream..."
Tsuna snapped his head at the sudden shuffle he heard in his room.
"Gokudera-kun...?"
He didn't get an answer, therefore panicked, but he felt a hand cover his mouth.
"Kufufu, calm down, Tsunayoshi-kun~" chuckled Mukuro, Tsuna widening his eyes. Mukuro was here? But why? Didn't he have better things to do with his time? Actually, doesn't Mukuro need his sleep?
"Pureblood Vampires don't need much sleep if they've drank blood."
"Then you've drank someone's blood?" whispered Tsuna through Mukuro's had. The pineapple-haired Vampire moved his hand away and pressed a single finger to his lips.
"Don't worry, I don't drink Human blood unless it's dire." said Mukuro soothingly. "I usually feast on an animal's blood. But I haven't had to feed since I... had some of your blood."
"W-Will it... last you long...?" asked Tsuna, Mukuro raising an eyebrow at such a question. Surely the brunette would have started freaking out at the mention of his blood? It appears not.
"A few days, maybe until the end of the week." said Mukuro, closing his eyes. "And then I'll be going back to animals. The last time I had Human blood was-"
"Judaime?" Tsuna blinked when Mukuro vanished and Gokudera was standing in the middle of the room, glass of water at hand. "Who were you speaking to?"
"N-No one!" squeaked Tsuna, looking round and blinking in surprise. Mukuro had just... vanished?
"If you say so Judaime." said Gokudera, holding a concerned voice. Was his boss beginning to hallucinate? Hopefully not.
Handing over the glass of water, Tsuna gave a grateful nod and gulped it down, soothing his frazzled nerves. Gokudera stood silently, not really sure on what to say.
"Gokudera-kun." mumbled Tsuna, bowing his head. "He got away, didn't he? Byakuran?"
Gokudera nodded solemnly.
"I see..."
Looking out his window, Tsuna let out a sad smile. He wasn't allowed to regret. Having regret in his heart would only weaken him. He had to let it go.
Clenching and unclenching his fist, Hibari looked blankly at the ceiling, his mouth open but no sound coming out as a painful throb came from his neck, a steady flow of blood being sucked out of him.
Byakuran was happy. This human's blood tasted much better than most, perhaps a lost relative from another Vampire slayer family? Who knew? All he knew was that he tasted delicious.
That was when Byakuran reminded himself that he had to at least keep the boy alive, knowing that he was going over the line of no return. Hibari had begun to shake, a hand clutching on his shirt as he gasped in pain. He had to stop now or the boy would die, but he tasted so good-!
Making sure there was no venom, the white-haired devil un-hooked his fangs from the skylarks' neck, tongue trailing over the wound and stopping it from bleeding.
"That tasted delicious, Kyo-kun~" commented Byakuran happily, cupping Hibari's head as he flopped back, drained to his limits. Laying him down, he received a weak glare, making him laugh as Hibari tried to spit at him.
It was such an embarrassing thing, getting brought here, being teased in so many different ways and then having teeth sunk into his neck, bloody quickly being sucked out of him.
"I would have let you out of this misery, but that wouldn't be very helpful if I wanted to get to Tsunayoshi-kun, now would it~?"
Byakuran laughed, his voice bouncing off the walls as he leaned down and caught the blood that ran down the skylarks' neck. The boy looked exhausted, his body slumping backwards and his vision becoming hazed.
"I'll... Kill you..." Byakuran chuckled and petted the raven-haired boy on the head.
"Pleasant language~" Hibari closed his eyes, his head lolling to the side. Byakuran's eyes glinted as he brought out a camera, thinking of ways to taunt a very nervous Vampire Slayer…
Sawada Tsunayoshi.
"Mukuro!"
Looking round, he saw nothing. It was daytime now, his heart was beating hard as he tried to clear his fogged up mind. His intuition was screaming danger, but he was ignoring it. Running forwards, he stopped and looked round.
According to the report he received via text message, there was a vampire revolt going on somewhere in Namimori, but the location wasn't determined. The only thing that worried him was that outcast vampires were attacking a pureblood that hadn't been condemned.
The only trusted pureblood in the area was Mukuro. That's why it worried him so much.
Running forwards, he knew Gokudera would shout at him later, but he ignored the thought and went where his intuition said he'd most likely be. Namimori Shrine.
Running up the steps, he pulled out his Vongola X Gun and ducking when a screaming Vampire was thrown over his head before continuing his run up the stairs. When he did finally manage to reach the top, he was shocked.
There must have been around fifty odd outcast vampires surrounding just one individual, whose trident was spinning around as Lava spurted out, swirling in the air as a red eye danced mercilessly as vampire after vampire was burned to a crisp.
Tsuna never knew how much power Mukuro had. Was this the reason Byakuran had feared confronting him? But Byakuran was pretty strong himself, wasn't he-?
Tsuna spun round and soon felt himself getting tackled to the ground, but somehow his reflexes were faster, firing his gun through the attackers head and flinching when blood splattered across his face.
"Disgusting." Mumbled Tsuna, pushing the body that was now turning to dust off him before getting back to his feet, his eyes meeting with Mukuro's. He'd been spotted. Blinking. He noticed that Mukuro had vanished from the spot he had been standing and then reappeared beside him, grabbing him around the waist before turning quickly, smashing his arm into the ground and causing rubble to fly through the air, using it as a distraction as he flashed back to his spot.
"Any reason my special little Vampire Slayer is here?"
"U-Um…"
"No matter~" chuckled Mukuro. "Just enjoy the show. Watch my back for me, will you?"
Tsuna nodded and then stood behind the pineapple haired male, raising his gun as Lava spurted again.
"Video surveillance has come through, Ninth!" shouted an administrator, a much older male walking over and checking the screen as a young female girl who looked to be in her teens took his side.
"Is that definitely him?" questioned the man, causing the girl next to him to nod.
"I can't guarantee the boy behind him, but the one in front is Mukuro-Nii." She said calmly, coughing lightly as she shrugged a blanket over her shoulders. She looked pale and looked as if she hadn't slept for a while. "Is there anything else I can do for you, Ninth?"
"I think you should sleep a little longer. I know you want to go over there to assist, but you need to rest up." Said the Ninth, looking the girl up and down as she brushed her dark purple hair behind her shoulders. "Chrome."
A/N: I'm sorry if it isn't any good, and I know it's short. I've only just got out of hospital and I've been really ill, so it's been chalanging to even write 200 words, never mind 1500. I hope you enjoyed, constructive critiscm welcome? Ciao~
