Author's note: Hello, everyone! Here's the ninth chapter to the story. :D Again, I wasn't planning to write it today, but I was in a writing mood, so I did. I neglected my seminars for college and wrote instead, which wasn't the smartest thing to do. But still, I'm happy to post it today. :) In advance, I apologize for a cliff hanger at the end, it's almost three a.m. and my concentration dropped. I hope I didn't cut it so suddenly, but it seemed like the best moment to end it there. Can't promise that I'll be able to update tomorrow as well, because seminars are still waiting for me to write them. :)

Thank you again, for your reviews! :D I always have a feeling that I might disappoint you with something, just because I don't like it, but it means a lot to hear that you like it. So thank you again! :)

As always, apologies for any grammar or spelling mistakes and if the characters are a bit OOC.

They went over a plan one more time, to make sure everything was well planned, so that the chances for them failing were none existent. Yuu was lying in his sleeping bag, next tu Yoichi. He turned his head on the side, to look at him and was surprised to see that Yoichi was looking at him as well.

"You can't sleep, too, Yuu-chan?"

"No. I guess I'm too excited about this invasion we planned.", Yuu smiled.

"I'm excited, too, but scared at the same time. Aren't you scared?", Yoichi asked him.

"I am, a little bit. But I'm not going to let fear take over me. I have important person waiting for me. I can't be scared. ", Yuu explained, smiling.

"You really do love him a lot, Yuu-chan.", Yoichi said that more as a statement than as question, laughing.

Yuu's eyes widened.

'Is that so obvious? Well, who cares.'

Yuu nodded his head, a feint of blush on his face. The minute Yoichi has seen it, he knew what was going on, it was all too clear to him.

"Then, we'll do everything to make this plan work and save him.", Yoichi smiled.

"Of course we will.", Yuu said, grinning.

He yawned, feeling the sleep overcoming him. Tomorrow, they are supposed to get up early and keep moving. The plan was to gather all the ingredients they needed for the potion that was supposed to kill vampires. Each one of them will have a spray bottle of that potion and they will use it to spray it into vampire's face. It was similar to a paper spray they used on human, except that this one was much more dangerous.

On their way to this cave, they came across a weird looking old man who claimed to be a herbalist. He told them everything he knew about the plants and their properties and how to mix them in order to get the wanting effect. Yuu asked him if he knew of something that could help them kill or at least knock the vampires unconscious. At first the old man said that there's nothing. Vampires are immortal and the only thing that could kill them was their demonic weapons.

To Yuu's surprise, Kimizuki was the one who reacted, saying that there must be something. It's impossible that there's nothing except their weapon that could bring them harm. He was sure there was a plant that could disable them to either move or something similar. The old man kept denying and that's when Kimizuki lost it. He pulled out his weapon and threatened to kill him, if he didn't tell them.

Deciding to save his life, he told them about the plants they'll need to make a potion and where to find them, also the order in which they are going to mix them and how, so that they will get full effect. Once it is made, they can either make vampire drink it, or they could spray it in their face, so that they will inhale it and than the potion will start working.

The old man told them that there used to a herb that could actually kill them, but recently the vampires were coming to the forest and they've cut down that herb, he was sure that they've cut that herb from all of the places it could be found, because it was dangerous for them. He said that the potion won't kill them, but it will paralyze them, completely.

Not only they won't be able to move, but they won't be even able to speak. When that happens, they can use their weapons and kill them. They thanked the old man and kept moving towards this cave, where they will be spending their day.

The morning came too soon for Yuu. Even though he was yawning like crazy, it was still hard to fall asleep.

"Oi, Yuu! Get up already!", Mitsuba was shouting at him while shaking him.

"Get away from me! I'm up!", Yuu pushed her away, shouting himself.

"If you were up, I would have to waste my time shaking you awake.", Mitsuba pouted and walked away.

He was the last one to wake up, out of all of them. Even Yoichi was awake and ready to go and he also stayed up late last night.

'Shit. I should get ready quickly.'

Yuu jumped to his feet, packing his sleeping bag in his backpack and then putting it on his shoulders. He ran out of the cave where the rest of them were waiting.

"Good, sleeping beauty is up. Now we can get moving.", Kimizuki said and started walking into the woods.

"Oi, Kimizuki!"

"Shut up, Yuu.", Kimizuki turned to look at him. "We need to get this plants as soon as possible. We can't waste any time on arguments. The old man said that it will be the most effective during the full moon and that's tonight."

"Kimizuki is right.", Shinoa said. "You want to see Mika as soon as possible, right?"

"Yes.", he answered quietly.

"Then we should get going.", she smiled at him and motioned for him to start walking as well, which Yuu did.


When Mika woke up, sun was already high up on the sky. He rubbed his eyes, trying to make sleepiness go away. Ferid didn't give him any orders for today, so he assumed that he is free to do whatever he wants to.

He got out of the bed and put his clothes of, the uniform he usually warn when he used to be with vampires. It was a nice day, sunny and warm, so he left his cloak, instead of putting it on. Mika didn't bother getting out through the door, instead he just hopped out of the window.

Once he was out, he slowly started to his favorite place. There were stairs up, leading up the hill, which he climbed up and he got to a jub, which looked like a terrace. He used to spend a lot of his time here, just looking over the city and not really thinking about anything in particular. Well, it was true that most of the time he was thinking about Yuu and of the ways to save him, but when he didn't, his mind was all blank, he wasn't thinking about anything.

That was Mika's plan for today as well. Just to clear his head, breathe in some fresh air and enjoyed the view. Not that he thought about it, he always considered this city beautiful. He didn't like the fact that it was inhabited by vampires, but over all the city did look appealing. He approached the railing and leaned his elbows on it. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, enjoying the silence.


"Kimizuki, do you think we are going in the right direction?", Mitsuba asked him.

"Of course we are going in the right direction. Keep looking around, it should be here somewhere.", he answered.

"But we've been looking for hours and there's no trace of it. What if that old man tricked us, just to leave him alone."

"I don't think he did. I could see in his eyes that he values his life, so there's no way he would lie and risk to get killed.", he explained.

"Uuuhhh! Why do this herbs need to look so alike?!", Mitsuba was grumbling, annoyed by the fact that it was so hard to find a herb they needed.

"Just keep looking, alright?"

"Okay, okay. I will.", she said and then went to look for it.

"Guys!", Yoichi yelled and waved to them, calling them to come where he was.

"I think I've found it.", he pointed at the bushes.

"You've found the entire bushes with that herb.", Kimizuki said and started to pick up the plant.

"Pick up as much as you can."

They didn't need to be told twice, before they we were picking the plants and putting them in their bags. Once they've had enough, they kept moving through the woods, in search for the rest of ingredients.

'We have the most important ingredient! The rest will be a piece of cake, the old man said, we could find the rest easily. I can't wait! Just hold on a little bit longer, Mika, I'm coming for you!'

"What are you grinning for Yuu-chan?", Shinoa asked.

She knew the answer, she just wanted to confirm it.

"Nothing. I'm just looking forward to killing all the vampires.", he answered.

And there comes her confirmation. She grinned back at him and kept walking on.

It didn't take them long to find the rest of the ingredients, just as that old man told them. It was already dark when they collected everything they needed, they even managed to go to the local town and steal some bottles, along with bowls.

"The old man said that we need to do it under the full moon, which means that we need to find an open space.", Kimizuki said, leading them.

He was sure he had seen a meadow from the cave they were in.

"If we want to attack them by dawn, we need to move fast and work fast."

"I agree with you. Where is it, Kimizuki?", Yuu asked him.

"We should get there in ten minutes max."

Yuu was too impatient, so he ran in front of all of them. Kimizuki followed his pace and so did the rest of them. When they came out in the open field, they immediately pulled out bowls, glasses, knives, bottles, herb and other tools they needed.

"Alright guys. Here's the paper with the instructions how to do it. I did memorize it, but I also wrote it just to be sure. Read carefully and follow them.", Kimizuki instructed them.

They all nodded and went to work. They were chopping the plants, mixing them, extracted the jouice from them, burned them, everything the old man told them. If they don't mix something right, or mess up in any way, the potion won't work.

Yuu was never more concentrated on something like this. Mika's life was depending on this, their lives were depending on this. If they fail, that's the end.

'Failing is not an option. We will make it, we will survive and we will extreminate them.'

It took them over an hour to make the potion. Once they were finished, they filled their spray bottles and packed them in their bags.

"Ahhh, finally done!", Yuu sighed with relief, wiping the sweat of his forehead.

"Oi, Kimizuki, do you think that we'll get to the vampire city before the dawn?"

"I don't know. We need to leave right this minute. Even if we leave now, I'm not sure if we'll make it before the dawn."

"Let's go then.", Yuu was already on his feet ready to move.

"I want to try. I don't want to wait another day. Who knows what might happen in that time."

'Who know what might happen to Mika in that time.'

"Okay, let's go then, everyone!", Shinoa said. "We'll take the pills we have left when we get near the city."

"I think it is better if we take them, once we're in the city.", Mitsuba said.

"You have a point. Then, that's settled, let's get moving.", Shinoa ordered, walking on, towards the vampire city.

'Here I come, Mika.'


Mika had spent his entire day on that terrace. He didn't feel like coming back to mansion, nor did Ferid send anyone for him, so there was no reason for him to return. When it got dark, he decided that it would be better for him to go back to his chamber, in case Ferid came again to feed. Just like he went out, he came in through the window. Mika was expecting to see him on his bed and was glad to find that he wasn't.

'Maybe he won't come tonight. Yeah, right. Like I'm that lucky.'

He didn't bother to take his clothes off, he just threw himself on bed, burying his face in the pillow. For some reason he felt sleepy.

'That's what I need. A good night's sleep, without nightmares.'

Closing his eyes, Mika let the sleep take over. That night, his wish came true for the first time. He wasn't dreaming of anything, it was all just black. There weren't any nightmares. If he could only sleep like this all the time. He couldn't remember for how long he's been sleeping, before he felt someone's hand going through his hair.

"Yuu...", he mumbled.

"It's not, Yuu, my dear.", he heard a whisper in his ear.

In an instant Mika's eyes flew open.

"I came for my dinner.", Ferid informed him.

"I know.", Mika said, sitting up.

"You could've stayed down, I didn't mind.", he laughed softly, but evilly.

'What the hell?'

Mika unbuttoned his uniform shirt just enough to move it from his neck. He turned his back to him and moved his head, revealing his neck to him. Ferid grabbed his shoulders and turned him around, so that Mika was now facing him.

"What are you doing?", Mika asked him.

Usually, he would always turn his back to him,whenever he was feeding and so far, Ferid didn't seem to mind, which was great for Mika. He didn't want to look at him, especially not at a times like this.

"I want to see your face while I drink your blood.", Ferid answered, simply.

"Why?"

"Because I want to see your face expression."

Ferid repeated the actions from the last night, first planting a soft kiss on his throat and then buried his fangs in Mika's flesh. This time, it was not done carefully, it was pretty harsh and it did hurt a lot more. Mika clenched his teeth and moved his eyes onto the window.

He could see the first rays of sun seeping in through the glass. Ferid's eyes traveled to Mika's face, closely inspecting his expression. He pulled his fangs out from his neck, only to bite him on the other side, even harsher than the first time. Mika hissed in pain and shut his eyes.

'What the hell is wrong with him today?'

It seemed to Mika that Ferid was trying to dry him out, to suck every single drop of blood from his body.

"Stop it, Ferid."

"Why should I?", he said, but he did stop.

"You took too much of my blood. I'm getting dizzy.", Mika explained.

It was true, he did feel a bit light headed.

"That was what I intended to do.", Ferid pinned him to the bed, beneath him.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?! Get off me!", Mika was shouting at him, trying to push him away, but he had him in a death grip.

"You know, struggling is pointless.", Ferid stated. "But I can make you forget about your precious Yuu."

Mika was in a panic mode.

'This is not happening. This couldn't be happening! I can't let this happen! I don't want to forget about Yuu. I was not supposed to do this with anyone, but Yuu.'

Before he knew it he was crying. He did try to prevent the tears from spilling out of his eyes, but he couldn't. It was all too much. Ferid's face was getting closer to his by the second.

"Get away from me!", he kept on shouting.

"This can all be less painful and more simple, if you would just stop squirming around and give up."

The door to Mika's room flew open with a loud crash and they both looked in their direction.

'No. I didn't want him to see me like this.'

"Mika?", Yuu said a little bit louder then a whisper, eyes widened in shock.

There was his friend, pinned on the bed, his shirt half opened, with a vampire that killed their family above him.

'What is going on here?' Yuu's eyes fell on Mika's face.

He seemed horrified, scared, sad and he was crying. That's when it all sunk in, Yuu realized what has just happened. The rage that gathered up just boiled, making him explode. He was shaking with fury.

"What the hell are you doing to Mika?! Get the hell away from him!", Yuu screamed while launching forward, towards Ferid.


End note: Thank you guys so much for reading! :D I hope I didn't mess up with this chapter. I wanted, at first, to write a rape scene, but then it just seemed too dramatic and I couldn't torment Mika more, so I cut that out and wrote it like this. I hope you're not disappointed and that you enjoyed reading! :)
