"Why are you so freaking strong for a girl... especially a person who's younger than me" Yūichirō said rubbing his cheeks, bruises littered all over his body as he felt a slight stining pain from them. Yuuta was in the same condition, but he just stayed silent, hoping to pay his sister back for what she did to him.

"Yuu-chan me being a girl nor age has anything to do with strength...you're just weak is all" Yukari said with a blank face.

"Tch! you just got lucky cause I went easy on you! Yukari-chan!" Yūichirō yelled defensively, not giving Yukari the pleasure, knowing that what she said was right.

"Yū-chan going easy on me?~... I like it rough, but I certainly do not mind if he's gentle on me once in a while" Yukari sighed in pure bliss hugging herself.

"Stop saying weird stuff you weirdo!" he said flustered at her words. Sometimes Yūichirō had to wonder if this girl lost a few screws in the past four years that they've been together somewhere.

"Ahh, but I just love Yū-chan so much, it makes my heart beat faster and swell with joy, Yū-chan is my everything!~" Yukari kept on going and as she held her cheeks and started moving from side to side with a blush on her face, that expression did not look as innocent as the other thought it would be.

"What's wrong with you?!" Yū screeched. He was just so cute to Yukari...she just couldn't help herself.

"Daisukidayo Yū-chan~" Yukari said as she looked at Yūichirō lustily, the emotion could be seen swirling in her majestic golden orbs.

"Geh! Don't start using Japanese now! It just makes it even creepier, since I don't know what you're saying!" he said starting to get grossed out, sweat dripping down the sides of his face nervously.

"Then I hope you never find out Yū-chan...stay my adorable, clueless idiot forever" Yukari taunted looking atYūichirō with her infamous bored eyes and lazy smile.

"Ne, Yuka nee-chan you should stop teasing Yū-nii like that" one of the children said scolding the said girl.

"Yeah, Yuka-nee... Yū-nii will start to become weary with you and your perverseness" the child wearing glasses said wearily.

"Yukari-nee chan is a pervert..haha!" another chimed in laughing.

"Yeah, she always looks at Yū-nii with such dirty looks!" a little boy said cheekily.

"I guess she must really like Yū nii-chan" a young girl said teasingly.

"You guys are not helping this situation!" Yūichirō barked at them, but they only just laughed at him.

"Sōudesune~...Watashi wa no kichōna Yū-chan o totemo aishitemasu~" she continued using her mother language, that Yūichirō could barely comprehend.

"What the hell are you saying!?" Yū shouted frustratingly.

"Haha teasing Yū-chan is so fun...I hope that he will become my husband one day...and after that we'll get married...then elope...and have childre-" she was cut of by a blushing angry-faced Yūichirō.

"ENOUGH ALREADY!"

'Main Entrance and Exit of Sanginem'

Standing in front of the exit of Sanguinem, the Hyakuya's all surrounded the perimeter, waiting for the right time to escape. They were all so excited that they were finally getting to leave the vampires place, as they talked with one another..smiles apparent on their faces.

"I'm a little worried...we reached the gate too easily, Are you sure this leads outside?" Yūichirō asked nervously not trusting that they were not caught by the vampires yet ". They had reached the exit which led to the outside world and not once had they encountered a vampire on their way which was making the boy grow suspicious. Yukari felt a presence watching them from above, however she couldn't pinpoint exactly where so she just stayed quiet and kept walking.

"Yes..at least according to this map" Mika said looking down at the map in his hands "Besides, I don't think vampires expect humans to try and escape...After all the virus is still rampaging out there" he continued looking to Yūichirō.

"But this is way too close" Yūichirō said filled with suspicio. It was strange how easily it was to get to the entrance without being caught the entire journey.

"Livestock won't leave the pen even though it is full of cracks and openings. The same goes for us...They're taking us for fools" Mikaela said smiling trying to reassure himself, this plan might actually work.

"Hmph if this actually takes a turn for the worst and something happen to my sisters, I'm blaming you Mika" Yuuta stated nonchalantly glaring at the blonde haired boy, who only stared back contemplating, before giving a small smile to reassure his family.

"I promise not to let anything bad happen to our family, Yuuta-kun"

"Oh brother, you actually do care about us~...I feel so loved, don't you...Yui?"Yukari asked, as her sister gave her a happy nod in return.

"Ahhh, humans are so interesting, they hold so much confidence within them... I wonder what it would be like if I had much confidence like they do~" Yukari sighed, blissfully unaware of the strange looks the others were giving her, when she referred to them as 'humans', as if she wasn't a human herself.

"Hai! onee-sama!" Yui exclaimed smiling towards her older sister with adoration.

"Ahh what a cutie you are calling me so righteously, keep praising me like that Yui and I might just reward you with something sweet" the black haired girl said as she hugged her sister like a master would do to their servant.

"Onee-sama you're the best!" Yui cheered, praising the sleazy girl.

"Quit making her say those ridiculous things, Yukari!" Yuuta reprimanded his sister, throwing a rock at her, which hit her square on the forehead, however she just kept smiling as blood trickled from her temple that she immediately wiped away as to not attract any attention for the vampires to find them.

"Oh my~, Are you jealous big brother, don't worry I can reward you as well" Yukari gestured to her sibling.

"I don't want any of your 'rewards' you psycho pervert" the black haired boy replied crossing his arms and turning away from her.

"Haha..." she laughed disinterestingly.

"But we are going to escape" Yūichirō said with a determined look on his face.

"We're not livestock, and I'm a genius" Mika praised himself basking in his arrogance as stars seemed to surround his being.

"I'm a genius too!" one of the children said as they started to crowd around the boy, making his head swell more.

"Me too!" another one said excitedly, raising their hand.

"I'm the greatest genius" Yukari inputted also praising herself.

"Me too! me too!, I want to be a genius just like onee-sama" Yui followed

"Of course you are my cute Yui-chan, but you will always be below my intelligence" the girl pat her sibling's head smiling down at her with what seemed to be a gentle smile.

"As if you are, you're just my dumb little sister" Yuuta remarked, smirking at his sister.

"Big brother you're so mean" Yukari faked a tear that she wiped from her face daintily.

"All members of the Hyakuya Orphanage are geniuses" Mika said "All but Yū-chan" Mika added at the end, ticking Yūichirō off.

"Quit it already!"

"But Mika-chan's right Yu-chan, you're a true idiot" Yukari added agreeing with Mika. A tick mark appeared on the boy's forehead as he stuck his tongue out at the younger girl, which made her flick his forehead in return.

"Come on let's go" Yūichirō said walking forward ahead of the group.

"Yes" they all answered as a reply, nodding their heads.

"Ah ah ah ah" an amused voice commented from up top one of the ledges that hung over Sanginem "I was waiting for you pathetic lambs" he continued as he looked down onto the livestock that were trying to escape.

"That expression ...The expression humans make when their hope is suddenly shattered to pieces. That's why I never grow tired of playing this game." the light haired vampire sang tauntingly.

"Game?...Don't tell me this is a trap" Yūichirō said surprised as a gasp escaped his lips "Ah.." a blur passed them, and they turned to see Ferid take one of the children, and drink their blood. They froze in place as fear made its way into their hearts.

"Oh, I just drank one gulp and she's already dead" Ferid said dropping the child lifelessly as he looked at the others uninterested.

"YOU...BASTARD" Yūichirō shouted as he shot a bullet at the white haired noble, but he just evaded it as if it were nothing.

"He dodged...the bullet?" Yūichirō said in surprise.

'Well of course, he is a vampire after all' Yukari thought sarcastically.

"It's useless Yu-chan, you'll never manage to hit that monster from this far" Mika warned staying on high alert.

"Isn't that my gun?...So you didn't steal only the map, but also my gun..." Ferid said with a small smile gracing his lips.

"Ah ah ah, you kids are really something! You still have the courage to oppose us!..." Ferid lighlty said looking them over "I'll tell you something which may rekindle your hope" he said after.

"That map is accurate, which means that if you follow the road right behind you... You'll reach the outside world." He said giving the children just a hint of success, but it instantly shattered when he said the next sentence that came out of his lips."I really want to hear how you scream...when you're trapped between hope and desperation" he finished halfheartedly.

"...!...G-Get away, run all of you...You must run away!" Yūichirō commanded telling the children to run towards the exit "towards the exit hurry!" he ushered them to get away.

Not wasting anytime Ferid went after the children, and slashed a boy's head off, as he stabbed another with his hands staining himself in their blood. Among all the chaos, one person stood silent motionlessly staring at the dead bodies in front of her with an unreadable expression on her face, she then looked up at Ferid with a blank face. At first Ferid thought she was so frozen with fear that she couldn't even comprehend what was happening, but then her lips curled into a devious smirk, and her eyes narrowed darkly while they glowed an eerie colour. Gasping in mild surprise Ferid's eyes widened, then they narrowed in curiosity. There was something about this girl that the vampire just couldn't put his finger on. She intrigued him to the core, and he shivered in delight as to know what secret she hides within the deepest depths of her mind.

"Hmm interesting, you don't seem afraid little lamb...in fact you look quite calm despite what's happening" Ferid said amused.

"Not at all mister, I'm actually quite scared you see~, I'm shivering in my clothes can't you tell?~" She said innocently raising her hands in the air "Or have your vampire eyesight gone bad mister vampire~" then her eyes narrowed with a smirk on her face.

"What an interesting little girl you are" he asked with interest laced in his voice.

"Well I am quite intriguing if I do say so myself, everyone, even my own dear Yu-chan can't keep his mind off me, it makes me sooo happy~ ." she squealed in delight shaking her head from side to side while hugging her body shamelessly.

"Ohh?... I seemed to have struck something bad within you" he said awkwardly sweat-dropping and looking to the side.

"Haha... you didn't I'm always like this~" she replied nonchalantly fanning him off, with a look of what seemed to be feigned ignorance on her face

"All the more interesting you are~" Ferid smirked deviously.

"Mika! Yuuta!...We will keep Ferid busy, we've got to buy them some time" Yūichirō yelled grabbing the gun and aiming it at Ferid.

"Aww, but I want to help too you know~" Yukari playfully replied

"You can't! you have to help Akane get all the children to safety!" Yuu said as he pushed her towards the other so that they could escape.

"But I can help you-" the girl was cut off by her brother, he glared at her angrily.

"Yukari! please just listen to us for once, you have to get out of here with Yui and the others and make it outside to go and find help" "We'll hold him off and catch up with you guys soon" Yuuta shouted his voice serious as his bangs covered his eyes and casted a shadow over them

"But brother you promised you wouldn't leave us, you promised you wouldn't leave me" Yukari said with a certain darkness laced in her voice, this was one of the only times when Yukari would get genuinely angry, and Yuuta didn't like when that happened, because she gets really scary, but he would never admit that.

"I intend to keep that promise even if I die, I will still be here with you and Yui, so don't worry" Yuuta said trying to reassure his sister, but she was still doubtful of his words.

"...Have a little faith in your older brother will you" Yuuta said smiling brightly as his sharp canines showed brightly.

"Alright fine you're just as stupid as Yu-chan, but that's why I love you, and if you die, I won't ever forgive you and I hope that you will be tortured for eternity in your after life" Yukari said as she turned around to follow Akane, Yui and the others.

"Hmph...You still are just a brat after all" Yuuta smirked looking at his sisters back's.

"Oh what a sweet display of togetherness~, but..." Ferid said snidely with fake compassion.

"Didn't I tell you that I want to see your faces distorted by desperation?" Ferid said as he looked down at them and his eyes glowed a deep crimsin colour as his pupils narrowed into slits.

"..." Yukari stayed silent as she watched the vampire noble without any emotion written on her face.

"Stop it..." Mika said softly at first, the raised his voice "STOP IT!" he screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Please don't!" Mika begged as he saw the vampire run up to the brown haired girl as she was running away.

"Ah..." Akane gasped as she saw the whiet haired vampire gaining upon her. He cut her head off, as it rolled lifelessly on the ground landing near a certain black haired girl as she took up the head and looked at it with interest.

"Akane!" Yūichirō yelled, eyes widening in horror. The sight nearly made him gagged and he tried desperately to not lose the food he had eaten earlier.

"Yuuta nii-chan, Yukari onee-sama...I'm scared...WAAAAH!~" Yui cried as she ran to her older brother and sister.

"You made my sister cry...you blood sucker now I"m gonna kill you" Yuuta glared if looks could kill Ferid would have been buried six feet under now.

"Oh oh~, big brother's snapped" Yukari said smiling.

"Yu-chan...give me that gun" Mika ordered to the said boy.

"What are you planning to do you idiot!, you can't kill him just like that!" Yuuta shouted in worry.

"I'll attract his attention at the cost of my life...You and the siblings at least have to escape" Mika said looking ahead.

"No way you idiot, I won't let you do that!" Yūichirō shut down that dumb idea instantly.

"Remember Yū-chan..." Mika smiled looking at Yūichirō with an innocent smile on his face holding the gun. "...We are all part of the same family" He ran to Ferid as tried to shoot him down.

"Ah ah Mikaela-kun, your blood tasted so good...A real treat! " Ferid sang, Mikaela pointed the gun at Ferid, but with his speed the vampire dodged all the bullets, then he drew his hand back and pierced it right through Mikaela's chest, blood immediately seeped through his clothes and stained it with the crimson liquid. Mikaela gasped in surprised and blood escaped from his mouth and traveled down his chin dropping onto the floor. Ferid took his hand out and licked Mika's blood on his blood-stained gloves, the boy fell to the ground lifelessly, as his eyes started to blur and he was getting dizzy.

"Yū...ch..an...Yukari-chan...Yuuta-kun...Yui-chan...run" Mika barely managed to say as more blood kept oozing out from his wound. He looked up to see Ferid standing over him and was going for another kill, when he was caught off guard by a clicking sound.

"DIE!" Yūichirō shouted aiming the gun at Ferid's head, his eyes filled with rage and killing intent. He pulled the trigger as the sound of the bullet being shot resonated through the air.

'...BANG...'

"Mika!" Yū cried as he ran to Mika's side, lifting the boy a little and laying his head on his lap "Mi.." the said boy spat out blood from his mouth as he coughed. Yū's eyes widened in surprise as his he held his friend closer to his body hugging with tears falling down his face.

"Go..Yū-chan...if the map is accurate ...the exit...is near..." the boy said, his lifeless looking at Yūichirō wearily.

"Shut up you're coming with me!...We're leaving together with Yukari and the others!" Yūichirō shouted angrily.

"We should hurry up and get out of here before reinforcement comes" Yukari said looking out for any vampires that may come.

"Yeah come on idiot Yū...I won't risk any more of my family getting killed because of your stubborness" Yuuta said restlessly.

"Come here Yui-chan let me carry you" Yukari held out her hands and the girl ran and jumped into her big sisters arms crying, while the older girl comforted her and patted her head.

"There they are!...over there!" A voice shouted in the distance, the vampires had spotted them "Get them!...Ferid-sama is down!"

"Crap!, we've gotta' get out of here NOW Yū " Yuuta said urgently "Yukari take Yui and let's go!" he ordered and the girl immediately obeyed.

"Right" the girl nodded her head and followed after her brother.

"Hurry...up...run..away...wi..th...the...oth..ers" Mika stuttered barely able to talk "Or our sacrifice will be useless" he said coughing.

"I..I can't" Yūichirō said weakly.

"Now that I...finally...had a family..." Yū said sadly.

"I can't abandon you..." tears pricked at his eyes threatening to fall.

"HURRY UP AND GO IDIOT" commented not going to keep up with Yūichirō's stubbornness for once.

"Yū-chan" a soft voice said as they put their hand on Yūichirō's cheek caressing him "You've finally grown up...I"m so proud of you, not all of your family has died, we're still here for you,so come on now and let's avenge our family's death so that they may be at peace" He looked up to see who it was, and saw that it was no other than Yukari. A genuine gentle smile made it's way on her face. For a second Yūichirō thought she was an angel, as a radiant light glowed around her, and her features became more defined and it took all of the boy's breath away as his eyes widened and his lips parted. She looked so other-worldly..she was simply just Ethereal.

"Yukari-chan...please...help Yū-chan and never...abandon him...and your siblings...I beg...you" Mikaela looked at the retreating figures of his family as they headed towards the exit. Even though she was far away from him, Mikaela thought he had heard Yukari's voice as if she had heard everything that he said. Eyes widening in surprise more tears fell down his face as he looked up towards the ceiling and he up his arm.

"I would never do that Mika-chan, I'll protect the ones who are important to me...Always" the voice said as it faded into nothing.

"Yū-chan...called us a family for the first time" Mika smile as he looked into the distance where Yū and the others went, he was happy that they at least got out safely, so he didn't have to worry about them being caught anymore. Mikaela's eyes closed as the smile remained on his face, going into a deep slumber that he might never wake up from again.

"AAAAAAAAAH!" Yūichirō shouted at the top of his lungs, as he went to catch up with the rest of his family outside. When he exited the tunnel, the bot's eye widened in surprise as he saw that there were buildings standing and the sky was bright and blue as if nothing had happened in the last four years when they were underground.

"Wh-What is this!?" Yūichirō questioned incredulously, his eye wide in denial.

"It seems that not all of humanity has fallen in despair to the virus" Yukari stated at the obvious.

"It's not true that all adults died" "L-look Mika...It was all a lie made up by those vampires" Yūichirō said as he fell on his hands and knees tears, tears spilled from his eyes onto green grass fluttering in the wind as he gritted his teeth thinking about how he had to abandon a part of his family.

"Who knew we were foolish enough to even believe them" Yukari said mostly to herself, but the others had heard her.

"What was the point...of everything...we did?" questioned the boy as he couldn't believe the traumatic experience he went trough for naught. The world was still standing and there seemed to be no virus spreading around.

"Seems like we've been play..fufufu~" a snarky remark came from the older black haired girl.

"Yeah, and it also seems that we're not the only ones here" Yuuta pointed out, the others looked behind them seeing that he was right.

"Here they are. Just as predicted by the prophecy..." a male with black hair wearing a uniform appeared from behind them. "...Four of the test subjects...of the Hyakuya Laboratory, which caused the destruction of Japan, finally showed up" Two other females were behind the male as they looked at the children.

"Who the heck are you?" Yuuta asked rudely narrowing his eyes at the three uninvited people approaching them so casually.

"Brats...you will help us exterminate the vampire race" the male said sternly not even caring whether or not he go answer from them.

"Sure I could ask for nothing better" Yūichirō said without any doubt in his mind.

"Yū-chan you're so quick to answer~...Aren't you curious who this man is?" Yukari quarried.

"Shut up!..I don't care!..as long as I can get revenge for our family, I don't care what I have to do or how I have to do it!" Yūichirō snapped back at the girl with anger filling his gem-like emerald eyes.

"I want to destroy those damn vampires!" Yūichirō said determined clenching his hands into fists. Yukari looked at him with an indescribable expression on her face, this boy was really starting to grow on her and she couldn't help but want to always see him happy, even if this world had turned to ruins. She would do anything just to see him and her siblings get what they want, and anyone who dared to come in their way, she wouldn't think twice about dealing with them for their sake.

"You're very intriguing Yū-chan...then we will also help you to atone for our family's death" the girl said smiling to him and holding out her hand for him to take. He looked at her and returned the smile taking her hand looking out to the horizon.

"My sister's right Yū, no way in hell are we just going to let some vampires have the joy of killing our family just like that" Yuuta agreed crossing his arms over his chest.

"If my family is going to be doing this then so am I!..Hurray!" the small girl had jumped up and down with a smile on her face again as she reached her arms out towards the two older boys and her older sister.

'I'd love to see how all of this plays out' a smile of interest appeared onto the dark haired girl's lips as she thought about this whole encounter, her eyes narrowed amusement as the seemed to glower a lighter shade of her original eye colour.

'And this is how their fight against vampires, angels and demons to prevent the destruction of the world began.'

The oath of a family who lost half of their 'family'
