Haou's POV

"Clear "I whispered sprinting from our hiding spot. I took cover behind a tree followed by Johan and Jehu. We were currently in phase one of operation save-Judai-before-he-is-hurt-killed-or-worse

"Clear" I continued running again. You see. Human territory is far different from vamp territory. Our territory is called Jim because he is our leader. Were really just crossing a country side is human eyes but they don't see who is and isn't a vamp around them. We were almost there when he found me to!

"Excuse me miss but I must escort you back to your own country" a black haired vamp hissed looking at me. I felt my fists clench around his neck. I wasn't really processing the situation due to my endless amount of rage

"Miss? Did you just say miss?" I said in a dangerously quiet voice. He clawed at my hand trying to remove the threatening grip. He made airy sounds in a bad attempt at getting oxygen through it. I tightened my fist around his neck

"Answer the question" I hissed

"Yes" he managed to squeak through the lack of air. I ground my teeth and flicked my wrist. A sickening cracking sound came from the poor asshole before I dropped the dead vamp.

"Let's go" I said no letting my threatening aura up one bit as we snuck across the rest of the border. We were safely in yubel with only a small while to go to get to manjoumes house.

"I told you you look like a girl" Jehu laughed I glared at the ground angry I couldn't strangle him like I had that guard. He just smirked and wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me to him in a protective fashion. Johan rolled his eyes and began walking faster obviously not wanting to see whatever was gonna happen next. Jehu bit my ear playfully and kissed my neck; the bastard only did such jesters to make my face heat up… I swear I hate him…

"Were almost there jehu try to keep your pants on" Johan muttered in front of us. The dumbass Anderson duo and I finally reached the side of manjoume's mansion, Jehu started feeling around the wall for the right brick. One moved a little when his hand passed over it causing Jehu to smirk. He pushed it in and looked at Johan.

"You know the way to your post. Stay hidden and wait for Haou" he smiled. Johan nodded a determined expression dominating his features. He walked through the door created by the cliché trick. Jehu and I reached to the front of manjoumes mansion as the door moved shut and pressed the doorbell. the black haired douche himself opened the door to us. He smirk/smiled and let us in.

"So why did you want the sudden get-together" manjoume asked leading us to the room we were gonna eat in

"Oh we just never talk to you manjoume! And I myself would like to know what yubel is planning" I added loud enough for him to hear it but quieter than the rest of my sentence. Manjoume smirked a little. Why didn't you just ask Johan?" we approached the table

"Alas, my younger brother refuses to say anything about it" Jehu sighed dramatically. Manjoume pulled my chair back like one would for a girl. For the mission I had to swallow my pride and smile at him. Let me tell you in all my life that was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Jehu sat next to me and manjoume across from us. We started small talk and waited for lunch. I debated if it was a good time to start the real plan.

'No…not yet…"

Judai's POV

Around noon a small looking blond girl with frightened green eyes hurried in she held out a tray of food with a slab of meat a roll of bread and a clay cup full of water. She put it in front of me and unchained one of my arms. I looked at her helplessly the girls eyes filled with pity

"I'm sorry Judai-sama…I really am… please forgive me…" I smiled at her a little

"Of course its ok, but I never caught your name"

"Misa" she whispered. I finished the food and let her take the tray. She seemed to busy thinking to realize the clay cup wasn't there or that she's left my arm unchained. I looked down at the half drunk water and picked it up. I held the clay cup to my lips and tilted it a little getting the remaining liquid down my throat. I made a move to put it down, but when I did the cup slipped from my grip and shattered. I gasped in shock at the sharp pieces scattered over the floor

Haou's POV

"Excuse me" I said politely standing up "but where's your bathroom"

"Down that hallway" manjoume said pointing a smile placed on his lips. I nodded and walked. Once out of ear shot and sight I broke into a run.

Judais POV

One piece of the shattered cup stood out to me, it was bigger than the others. It was sharp and long. I ran my fingers over it

'Maybe I can end this horrible nightmare… no one's coming anyway…" I picked up the small clay shard

Haou's POV

Johan stood against a pillar biting his lip and fiddling with his shirt

"Johan!" I called slowing down as I neared the blunette

"Ready?" he asked

"Yeah! Let's get moving" he and I darted up the 'small stairs' as little Judai called them. We moved swiftly through the other directions Judai gave me before we came to the final hallway. Johan and I nodded to each other and began opening doors looking for Judai.

Jehu's POV

Continuing small talk with someone you wanted to punch was hard. Really really hard. I wish I could have taken my glass cup and thrown it at him. Maybe one of the shards would kill him….

"Yubel is also planning to use slayers as fighters and send them after the people in our country. She doesn't realize they'll kill her to…"

"That is pretty stupid"

'Like you' I added bitterly in my head

"So what's got you so interested in that Judai blood-bag?"

"Well he's cute… and he's something I could steal him from Johan" he smirked "…but why do you care Jehu? Are you a part of his rescue team or something" he laughed, I followed up laughing

"Yeah I am" my eyes widened and I covered my mouth.

"What?" manjoume looked at me seriously?

"Nothing! I'm just pulling your leg" I smiled

"No you're not… oh crap Judai!" manjoume got up and started running I followed trying to stop him with-seeing how much stronger I was than him- out any problem.

"I was kidding!" I called pulling his arm back

"Misa!" he called "get amon and my gun!" anger flashed through my veins. A gun? He was gonna hurt one of them… Haou…Johan… hell I'll be angry if he kills Judai! And seeing as I was the only one here to do so. I was going to stop him. I wrapped my hand around his throat and shoved him against the wall

"I can't let you do that" I whispered tightening my grip. He gasped in pain

"And what are you gonna do eh? Even if you kill me I have trained assassins here who could kill you precious companions without a second thought. I growled and tightened my grip.

"You son of a-"pain shot through my back. My eyes widened and I felt blood escape my lips. The world only got duller and duller from there. The last thing I remember hearing was manjoume saying

"Good work, he won't be a problem" before darkness swallowed me completely.

Judais POV

"If this is the only way out of this nightmare so be it." I whispered pulling the shard to my neck. "I don't have anything left to lose" I pulled the shard over my throat. Hopefully ending my existence in this world.
