Woah... Chapter 25... the longest fic I have ever written so far haha xD

Slowly but steady, all parties work hard to destroy the other. Ultimately, Guren and Misato will have to take action or they'll be dead before they know it...

Enjoy reading!

Misato jumped of the roof with her black sports bag on her back. Daisuke didn't follow her right away. She wanted to scream. Run towards the department, not away from him. "I shot him! Why can't I do anything right?!" She ran until her feet started hurting and ran some more until she was completely out of breath. There was no one around her and Misato bend forward, resting on her knees.

Her hands were shaking as she let the bag fall from her back. Sweat dripped from her face as she was slowly taking the situation in. "Job well done~" A familiar voice sounded from the shadows.
"Ferid? Is that you?" Misato called out, surprised with the sudden appearance. He gracefully approached her.
"Impressive I must say, you actually managed to kill a vampire." Misato stood straight again as she regained her breath. "Obviously you should be rewarded for your hard work."

"Rewarded?" Ferid took one more step and stood in front of her. The jewelry in his ears shone in the moonlight. The sudden movement he made was unexpected and Misato's eyes widened in surprise. His arm had pierced her stomach and his fingers exited on the other side. "What the-" Misato coughed as blood immediately dropped from the corners of her mouth.
"Thanks for your services until now. It's nothing personal~" The big smile on his face made matters worse. "You were a great tool for us, but you're a human and we don't need you anymore."

"Misato!" Daisuke's voice echoed. The brown haired woman looked at Ferid as both her arms clasped his.
"I… should've expected this…" Tears welled up. "I don't want to die…. I shot him…." Ferid tried to retract his arm, but Misato wouldn't let him. "Least I can do is take you with me right?" The eyes of the vampire widened as her nails turned black and a blue glow lightened up her eyes. Misato's teeth grew and her right arm changed into a monstrous claw that dug into Ferid's skin.
"What's this?!"
"My despair." Misato growled as she ripped off his arm.

"What the fuck is going on?!" Seishiro yelled as Chess fell lifeless in his arms. He was covered in blood and Guren hung against the door opening. He was panting heavily as blood covered his arm and was dripping on the floor. Suddenly, Kureto stormed upstairs and he looked at them.
"What the fuck just happened?!" He had been waiting downstairs to meet the two, but he heard the scream.
"S-sniper.." Guren growled.
"Seishiro, call an ambulance and get this cleaned up." He glanced over at Guren again. "It's creepy how unlucky you are." He stormed back down, ready to go in pursuit.

Guren sat down and tilted his head backwards. He wiped the blood of his cheek and flinched when the scratch was deeper than he had thought. His shoulder stung and he just wanted to be in his bed. "With her…."
"What are you muttering for fool! Call some help if you can." Seishiro snapped as he laid the corpse on the floor. Guren decided to call Shinya first. He hesitated, he wanted to call Misato as well, and for two obvious reasons.

"Raaahhhhh!" Her insides were healing, she could feel it as she tried to kill her attacker. Misato saw how shocked the vampire was. "Surprise surprise! I'm a test subject for everyone! I'm everyone's little project! And now I'm set free." Misato dashed towards the vampire and managed to grab his ankle as he tried to jump away.
"I can't believe humans would go this far…" Ferid muttered as Misato swung him overhead and he crashed into the ground. The concrete cracked at the impact and Daisuke didn't dare to come closer. He was well aware that now was not the time to interfere.

Ferid crawled out of the crater the impact had made and wiped some blood from the corner of his mouth. "It seems I have to go. Cling on to your nasty life Misato. We will come and get you eventually." Ferid grabbed his arm and disappeared into the darkness.
"Rrrghhh…." Misato turned to Daisuke, who had been observing. "..." She jumped up towards him, ready to slice him in half. Daisuke's eyes glowed blue in the dark and he stepped aside, pulling out his gun.

"Calm yourself woman. You ain't killing anyone if you're not in control."
"Freeze!"
"Shit. Cops are here." Misato growled again.
"Drop the gun."
"Oh, Kureto Hiragi." Daisuke chuckled. "Here to get revenge?" He asked the Chief.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Of course he went along with the conversation. He was outnumbered.
"I heard I killed Mahiru Hiragi."
"..." Misato took a step back, she was slowly returning to normal. If Kureto recognized her, it was over. "I said freeze." Kureto shot Misato in her shin. Even in the dark, the Chief turned out to be able to handle a gun exceptionally well.

"..."
"I heard a made a fiancé very sad, so I apologize." Kureto growled when he saw Daisuke grin. "I'm sorry I killed her on purpose." That was her signal. The bullet was pushed out her body and Misato dashed towards her bag. Daisuke approached Kureto and fired several bullets at him, aiming for his upper legs.
"Without an intent to kill you won't get me." Kureto replied as he jumped to the side, avoiding the bullets.
"I could say the same to you Chief. You think you have since you've seen my face a bit. You think you have evidence since I said I killed Mahiru Hiragi and enjoyed doing it even though I was in a pinch. But let me tell you this; You haven't caught anyone from the Brotherhood yet, so why would you succeed now?"

The glow in Daisuke's eyes got brighter as he emptied his gun. Before Kureto had a chance to approach the criminal, he was gone. "..." In the distance he saw him running over rooftops and realized he wouldn't be able to catch up to him. The person with him was gone as well. Kureto walked over to where Daisuke had been standing and noticed the bullet. The crushed tip had a few droplets of blood on it. "Heh. I'm not in a hurry. I'll get you two sooner or later." Kureto heard sirens not far from his location.

Misato had returned home after taking several detours just in case. She felt utterly horrible as she crashed into the floor after closing the door behind her. The mysterious power she now possessed had healed her injuries, but she felt like someone had put a cake mixer inside her stomach and fucked up her intestines. Misato groaned as she took out her phone. She didn't have the strength left to stand up. A text from Horn. "Dropped him off at home, don't think he noticed anything." That text was an hour ago, 01:34. So far so good. Then she noticed a missed call from Guren. She called him immediately and would pretend like she was a little drunk.

"Ngh." The nurse injected a sedative in his arm. The doctor would remove the bullet in a few minutes he was told. Guren sat in a chair, thinking about the events that had passed. His phone went off and noticed it was Misato.
"Yooooo….. you called me?"
"Are… are you drunk?" Guren asked and raised his eyebrow.
"Yeahhhh."
"Where are you now?"
"... home.. I've been trying to get to bed." Guren rubbed his temples. He wasn't in the mood to deal with this right now.
"How did you get drunk?"
"Booze." "Ugh. Stupid question." He sighed.
"I'll call you tomorrow okay? I'm at the hospital again, I got shot."
"...S-shot? As in with a gun?" Misato replied.
"Yes of cou-" Guren stopped mid sentence since talking sense into his girlfriend was really the most smart way to do things right now. "Hang on, someone else is calling me."

"He's got some nerve, keeping me hanging when I'm drunk and it's late." With the phone between her shoulder and cheek she waited for him while taking her sniper rifle out of her bag and hid it in her secret vault under her 'welcome' carpet by her front door. She couldn't help but grin a bit. This was her little secret no one knew about.

"I've got the blood results from the bullet Guren."
"Woah that's fast."
"Heh. I just pressured a bit. Listen. You're going to Fujikawa's house as soon as that bullet is removed from your shoulder."
"..." Guren could connect the dots. "O negative?"
"Definitely. There's a chance that it's her."
"Fuck. God damn it. God fucking dammit." "It should not be possible! Both her wrists weren't completely healed yet. That shot would've been impossible. Plus, she says she's drunk." "I swear to god if she has anything to do with this I'll…..I'll….." He would be devastated.

"He's not coming back." Misato said surprised as too much time had passed and Guren didn't call her back again. She hung up and got an incoming text. It was René, and that only meant trouble. "I was tapping his phone, they found a drop of O negative blood. Ichinose is coming your way in about half an hour." "Fuck." Thank god René texted her. Which was actually weird, since Ferid had tried to kill her. "Probably a plan from higher up." Misato sprinted to her room and hid her bloody clothes somewhere in her closet. She put on pyjamas. In her kitchen, she grabbed two bottles of tequila and sat down on her couch. "Nothing gets me more wasted than tequila…."

Even though Guren wasn't allowed to drive at the moment, that didn't stop him from taking his car and driving over to his girlfriend in the middle of the night. He was trembling with anger. Someone shot him and tried to get away with it. He hoped Misato's alibi was solid. It had to be. Still, he was doubting. He needed to hear it from her, and search her house when she was sleeping.

He parked his car with a little more trouble than usual, and walked over to her front door. He rang the bell. As expected, no one answered right away. "Open up! I need to talk to you!" He heard some noise and recognized Misato's voice.
"Wwwaaiiit." After a few minutes she managed to open the door and Guren saw her, piss ass drunk, having trouble standing. "I'm… not supposed to open the…." It seems she had forgotten the word 'door'. "The…. this thingy. When it's dark. Cuz…. Bad people might be trying to break in and such." Guren honestly didn't know what to do in this situation. Shinya would though, he had taken care of him many times when he was wasted. "You're hurt mister…" She stood in her pink shorts and shirt and he noticed her drooling. "You're handsome though… want to come in?"

"I'm already your boyfriend stupid idiot, there's no reason to hit on me." But Guren came in either way, hiding his annoyance. To his surprise, he didn't notice any wounds. He sighed relieved. Before entering the living room, Misato fell flat on her face.
"Ouch…."
"Uhm, let me help you up." Guren said, reaching out his hand. Several tries from Misato to grab his arm, Guren got tired of waiting and pulled her up with his healthy arm. "Gurennnn…" The way she drunkenly groaned his name made him uncomfortable. "Take me ….to uhm... bed will you?" Guren decided that he would sit next to her on the couch and catch his breath.

"Sober up will you." He carefully kept his bandaged arm away from her. Craving affection, she laid on his lap and stared at him with a goofy smile on her face. He sighed again, still not knowing how to deal with this. She closed her eyes. Guren actually felt sorry for her. He barged into her house, ready to interrogate her, and she was probably asleep already. He silently ruffled her hair.
"Hmm…."
"I could use a drink right now…" He whispered to himself. Guren didn't want to get up as he was exhausted. His eyelids slowly got heavy and he couldn't stay awake any longer. Misato seemed to have fallen asleep as well.
