Title: Blood

Setting: Okuda was about to head home when someone was blocking her exit.

Characters: Okuda Manami and Karma Akabane


It was late, Okuda concluded as she glanced at the clock on the wall where the needle strikes almost 11 p.m. She cleared up her table and stacking the paperwork nicely on the tray where she would be presented to her supervisor tomorrow morning.

She looked behind her for last check and satisfied after making sure her belongings have been in her bag. She was about to shuffle out from the laboratory after a long hectic day when a flash mob of red hair halted her by blocking her exit while staring down at the floor.

Okuda was scared if this person could be a rapist or robber and wondered how he got pass through the guard down there. A scary thought enter into her mind if this man did something to her; nobody could hear her scream. However, she could throw a few chemical beaker placed at the rack next to her.

But all those thought was throw it away outside the window when the man looked up and staring at her with bewildered look. Okuda just had to gasp because she never saw a pair of strong gaze eyes especially his mercury eyes as if he was staring right into her soul.

She wasn't expecting him to smile but she had to admit it was such a dazzling smile although it seems he was mocking her for still acting like high school girl. She noticed on how his chest moving up and down much faster than regular person – probably he was running to reach here, she assumed.

"Urm, sir – " Okuda wasn't able to finish her words when the young man suddenly moving forward and leaning his forehead on her shoulder causing her to be stiff due to sudden contact. No, there was no man ever get this close to her.

"You're Okuda Manami, right?" He voiced out.

"Ye – yes!" She yelped. She was still stiff as a wood but she can feel his body vibrating due to chuckle which just escaped from his lips. "Y – You're cold as ice, sir." She commented.

He scoffed weakly. "I am. My close friend told me you're good in creating dangerous stuff and know about Science more than anyone else. Mind if you can whip something up like artificial blood?" His voice sound hoarse.

Okuda was taken aback with his request. She baffled for a second there before she replied. "It's true I love Science but I don't know about your request. I mean I never done something like as artificial blood. What are you going to do with that sir – "He interrupted her before she get to finish her sentences.

"My name is Karma Akabane but you can call me Karma." He glanced at her with determined look. She wondered why and didn't expect his next words which caught her off guard.

"You see I'm a vampire but I had never taste human blood before nor I dare to. Before I kill innocent human, I need something as strong as blood to quench my thirst and the pill I've had before didn't help at all. Think you can do that for me, Okuda-san?" His eyelids were starting to close and so does his posture which is getting wobbly.

He was tired and hungry, afterall.

Okuda didn't give much thought at all about her decision she was going to take. Although she was still skeptical when he claimed himself a vampire, she has had to help him first regarding his condition.

First, she helped him by leaning his back against the wall. Then, locked the door after making sure the coast is clear and switched on the lamp to brighten her laboratory. She throws a side glances at him who was snoring softly before gathering all apparatus needed to do this surprise experiment.

This may be against the protocol but she couldn't let this poor young man to die. If this was a hospital and as a doctor who is neglecting her patient – she can be consider as a bad ethic doctor for abandoning her own patient for selfish reason.

Besides, if she couldn't create something such as artificial blood – she couldn't dare to call herself a good chemist as her friends claimed her back on middle school.
