Chapter 21

YUI P.O.V.

"Misa-chan!" Yui shouted hysterically. Misa fell to the floor but she still managed to keep her conciousness.

"Let's go now," Yuuma suddenly said as he grabbed Yui's wrist and took Yui to another place. Along with Kou and Azusa, the four of them reappeared at a crowded street.

"Wait! I have to go back to Misa-chan's place!" Yui insisted.

"No, you can't. This is what she wants," Yuuma said, "She said to bring you to this place in time she stabbed herself with your silver knife. She expected this to happen and told us to do this,"

"No way. I really have to go back," Yui looked down.

"Are you going to make her sacrifice in a waste?!" Yuuma scolded Yui.

"…" Yui couldn't answered Yuuma's scolding so she kept on silent.

"Go here as fast as you can," Kou said as he gave Yui a piece of paper with an address on it.

"What is this?" Yui asked.

"Misa-san said that you should head here," Azusa said. Yuuma called a taxi and let Yui entered it.

"I'll put your belongings in the baggage," Yuuma said, "Also read this," Yuuma handed Yui a letter.

"You have to promise me that you would protect Misa-chan whatever it takes, okay?!" Yui said.

"We know," Kou smiled a little. Yui then went away with the taxi to the place Misa told her in the paper. She opened Misa's letter and read it.

If you read this letter it means that I'm in a bad situation.

And thus, I have to send you away.

When you reach the place I told you, show them your necklace.

I always wish for your happiness.

Sorry for everything I did.

I hope we could meet again.

When we meet again, I'll surely kill you.

Just kidding though.

Your friend,

Sakamaki Misa.

Yui's tears fell down on her cheek. She was really worried about Misa's condition yet she sent her away. She fell asleep as she still crying in silent on the way to her destination.

MISA P.O.V.

"Why did you stabbed yourself you idiot!" Subaru said to Misa. Misa who was trying to maintain her consciousness just smirked as she usually did.

"What would you do? Oji-sama," Misa smirked to Richter.

"You're really a stupid girl for stabbing herself like that. You look like that girl who sacrifice herself to protect others," Richter said.

"Of course. We're humans," Misa answered. Misa was starting to cough blood.

"Misa!" Ayato who was near her shouted panickedly.

"I don't mind if you die now. I'll just take your heart," Richter said as he swung his sword towards Misa. Suddenly, Subaru stepped between them and defended Misa and Ayato.

"No. You'll not going to do that," Subaru said. They fighted but Richter was too strong for Subaru. The other tried to fight him as well but no one could equal his ability.

"How is it? I'm strong, aren't I?" Richter smirked.

"You're not going to escape!" Ruki said and attacked him but Richter could dodge it rapidly. Richter slashed his sword towards Ruki and his chest was wounded.

"Tch," Ruki fell to the floor.

"Die you little boy," Richter tried to stabbed Ruki but Misa suddenly appeared between them and being stabbed instead. The sword penetrated Misa's chest while the end of the sword was drenched with Misa's blood.

"Ugh…" Misa's groaned in pain. Blood was coming out of her mouth.

"What are you doing?!" Ruki shouted.

"You're indeed a stupid girl. You'll directly go to hell," Richter smiled sinisterly.

"Yeah," Misa answered, "Along with you," Then she stabbed the silver knife to Richter's heart and he fell to the floor straightaway, but he hadn't die yet. Misa was gasping in breath. She pulled out the sword out from her heart and her blood was scattered everywhere. Just as she fell on the floor, Ruki catched her body.

"Hang on, Misa!" Ruki said to her.

"Mukami. Take her back to the mansion. We're going to take care of him first," Shuu said then Ruki brought her back to the mansion and lied her on her bed.

"Misa," Ruki called her as she was still gasping in breath.

"Ru…ki… I'm sorry that I forget… about you…" Misa said slowly.

"I don't mind it," Ruki took her hand and hold it tightly, "Calm down. You'll be okay,"

"You know it the best… that I'm not…okay," Misa chuckled but she looked like in pain.

"You'll be okay. I promise you," Ruki said.

"Ehh~ Is this a lover's quarrel?" Karlheinz suddenly showed up behind Ruki.

"Otou…sama…?"

"Why don't you drink blood to keep your life?" Karlheinz said.

"But I would be a vampire if I do that," Misa answered.

"Well, that would be your choice to live or to die," Karlheinz said, "What do you think, Ruki-kun?"

"I want you to live," Ruki said slowly.

"See? Even he said that," Karlheinz said, "Then, I'll go now," he said again then disappeared.

"I don't want to drink blood," Misa said.

"At first, I was hesitant whether I should become a vampire or not. But now I never regret my decision at that time. If I didn't become a vampire at that time, I would never got to see you again," Ruki said.

"…"

"Meeting you is a good future enough for me. You said, you want to cherish those who important to you, right? I do want to cherish them too. And for me, that important person is you," Ruki said then he bit his palm and sucked his own blood. Then he drew closer to Misa and made Misa drank his blood directly from his mouth. Misa closed her eyes as they kissed and she drank Ruki's blood. After she finished drank the blood, Ruki could see that Misa's face went red.

"What? You blushed?" Ruki teased her.

"No," Misa answered shortly and hide her face under the blanket.

"For now, just sleep. I'll be here. When you wake up, I'll cook you warm soup to eat," Ruki said as he smiled softly.

"Ruki?" Misa called his name. She showed her blushing face under the blanket.

"What is it?" Ruki asked.

"I love you," Misa said as her face went more and more red. Ruki smiled then he took Misa's hand and hold it tightly as she fell into a deep sleep. There was smile on her face.

YUI P.O.V.

Yui arrived at the address that Misa told her. The place was not a spooky house as she expected. It was a small bakery with good lanscape around it. The air was fresh and many people were passing there. She opened the bakery's glass door and a bell rung, indicating that someone's coming.

"Excuse me," Yui said softly. There was only one man and one woman who was there.

"Dear, we have a guest," a man who's around in his forty said to a woman, who looks like his wife.

"Oh, good evening," a woman smiled and greeted her, "Do you want to buy our cake?"

"Umm… Actually I was told to show you this necklace if I managed to arrive here," Yui said hesitantly. The woman who saw the necklace and went speechless. Her face went pale.

"Ano…?"

"Dear! Come here quickly!" The woman said.

"What is it? It's rare for you to say something that loud," the man said.

"Look at that necklace," the woman said then the man stunned when he saw that.

"What's wrong?" Yui asked.

"Do you know Sakamaki Misa?" asked the man.

"Yes. She's my friend," Yui answered.

"We've been waiting for you to come!" the woman said, "Wait a minute," Not long after, the woman came back with a letter which looked really old.

"Here," the woman handed the letter.

"What's this?" asked Yui.

"Ten years ago, Misa-san came and told us to give this letter if a girl came and showed us a certain necklace," the man said.

"You knew that she's a vampire?"

"Yes. We were once vampire hunters and we met her on the way. She looked young, but the thing is she's even older from us. How's she?" the man asked.

"She's in a bad condition when she told me to leave," Yui said sadly.

"Don't worry. It's Misa-san so it's gonna be okay," the woman soothed her.

"Yeah," Yui smiled.

"Read that letter, okay? It may be an important thing. I'll prepare some cakes and tea," the woman said.

"Thank you," Yui said as she sat and opened the letter.

Yui, if you read this letter, then you must have been through a lot.

Believe it or not, I wrote this when you were 7.

I don't know how old are you now, but I think you would be fine.

This couple who owns the bakery are Shinagawa Kenji-san and Shinagawa Maria-san.

They lost their daughter when they were still working as vampire hunters so they've been so lonely.

Live with them and help me to cheer them up.

Well, since you're their real daughter.

Let's meet again, Shinagawa Yui-san.

Take care of the necklace, okay?

Sakamaki Misa.

Yui couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She cried while she still holding the letter.

"What happened?" the woman asked as she put the cake and the tea on the table. Yui handed the letter she just read and let them read it.

"No way…" the woman started to cry too.

"You are our daughter?" the man was shocked. Yui who was still crying just nodded. Then they hugged with each other.

"That girl always did something so surprising," Maria said.

"Next time, let's visit her," Kenji said.

"Yes," Yui said, "Can I call you mom and dad?"

"Of course," her parents answered in the same time as they smiled happily.
