Yūichirō's P.O.V [Dream/Nightmare?]
'Whenever I close my eyes I... I can still see them'
"Hey, Yū-chan, we're all part of the same family right?" Mikaela asked as he walked alongside Yūichirō.
"Cut the crap, I don't have a family" Yūichirō replied back with sass.
"OF COURSE you do!...The kids from the Hyakuya Orphanage all belong to the same, big family! That's the way it is!" Mikaela happily exclaimed as he glomped Yūichirō.
"Hey...What the...?" Yūichirō blushed awkwardly as he looked at Mikaela apprehensively.
"I love you, Yū nii-chan!" a girl from the orphanage said running to you along with two others, grabbing his clothes and looking up at him.
"Uhm..well...you kids are always the same" he answered flustered by her confession.
"Ara ara~...What's this?...Yū-chan is getting confessed to by someone other than me?...It seems that I have a love rival in the way of me winning over Yū-chan's heart" a coy voice sounded from behind the children. Turning around they weren't surprised to see who it was, as they already knew who the voice came from.
"Yuka nee-chan!...When did you get here?" one of the children asked running up to the girl with golden eyes with smiles on their faces.
"Long enough to hear you say that you love MY Yū-chan~" the girl replied holding up her pointer finger "But I will not lose in this game of love, I shall keep on going until Yū-chan returns the love I have for him" she continued putting her left hand on her chest as her right hand stuck outwards in the direction of Yūichirō.
"Yukari!...stop saying weird stuff like that!' Yūichirō yelled with a blush creeping up his face at an alarming rate.
"Ara~...Yū-chan is blushing so deeply...it must mean you reciprocate my feelings for you!~" the girl said with an erotic blush on her cheeks, blissfully unaware of the dark figure behind her. A hand suddenly bunked her on the head and she let out a yelp in surprise at the sudden presence behind her.
"Baka Yukari...you really need to stop with those twisted jokes of yours, no guy is ever gonna' love a creep like you" a young male's voiced sounded as he had his eyes closed with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Aww, but big brother this is not a game...this is genuine...I really do love Yū-chan as much as I love you" Yukari replied rubbing her head with tears pricking at her eyes. She then hugged her brother as she put her hands on his cheeks and looked at him with a weird expression on her face.
"Umm...yeah...no thanks...I don't need that kind of love, especially from my sister at that" the boy said backing away from his sister's weird looks. That girl was all sorts of insane, and he really didn't want to be around her when she got too intimate.
"Hey!..What about me!?...You can't only love baka Yuuta nii-chan and Yū nii-chan, onee-sama!" a high pitched voice sounded from beside the black haired boy.
"Of course my little Yui-chan..I love you as well, but my love for you is on a different level than my love for the others" Yukari said with a 'loving' expression her face.
"I swear you're not right in your mind Yukari" Yuuta said glaring at his little sister "And don't look at Yui with such lewd eyes you pervert!" he yelled hiding the said girl behind his back. Yūichirō watched as Yukari just laughed at them. The boy knew that she was enjoying the riled up expression on their faces, teasing people was just so much fun to her. It made him wonder if there ever was a time when she was truly serious. Everyone had smiles on their face as they looked at one another, it was a happy time for them.
'The smiling faces of my precious friends, companions, siblings...and then...'
Lifeless corpses were sprawled all around Yūichirō as he stared at them in horror.
"Ru-Runaway... Yū-chan" the voice of Mikaela called to him as he held his arm out towards Yūichirō, with blood running down his lips. A hand suddenly reached out for the blonde haired boy and grabbed a hold of his neck, it was that silver-haired vampire noble. He sucked Mikaela's blood as his eyes widened in surprise.
"Hurry up...and go... he said with tears pricking at his eyes "You have to go...you must escape with Yuka-chan and the others to the outside world" he reached his hand out toward Yūichirō longingly.
"M-MIKAAAAA!" Yūichirō shouted at the top of his lungs, crying over the death of his best friend and companion.
'4 Years Later: Shibuya, Tokyo'
3rd Person P.O.V
The figure of a person stood in the middle of the ruins, as they looked out into the distance at the broken and tattered buildings. Three other figures were there as well, as they also looked out into the distance. One of them seemed to be sitting on the rooftop, as they had one leg up and the other dangling over the ledge a shadow was cast over their face as they wore a hat that kept their visuals hidden from peripheral view. They all wore uniforms that consisted of a long-sleeved double-breasted black coat with two rows of gold buttons on the front and light green details including the shoulder epaulettes. The two females that were there, wore mini skirts with green lining showing through it's black counterpart alternately, while the two male figures wore a pair of pants with the same green streak. They also wore white web belts with a gold waist-plate, a pair of white gloves and a pair of black boots that went up to the knees. The two girls wore thigh high socks. While three of them wore the white gloves, the tallest boy there wore a pair of black finger-less gloves (like Mitsuba) that showed of his black polish-coloured nails.
'4 years passed since then...but whenever I close my eyes..I can still see the scene" the black haired boy known as Yūichirō said as he closed his eyes, remembering the past as it frequently haunted him. He gripped the sword at his side tightly as it made a 'rumble' sound.
"Are you still thinking about them Yū-chan?" a girl's voice asked as she walked up to the said boy. Yūichirō turned to his side to look at the girl at his side. She had grown much more mature over the past four years. For starters, her hair had grown much more than its original height which grew down to stop at her waist, she was taller. She had started to gain curves that would make any man go nuts for her, and her chest had increased in size that one would not think of her as still being only just a child.
"...Hmm..." was the only answer she got as she sighed and held her hands up.
"Maan~...this is soooo boring~" the older girl whined, as she went over to the other older boy and decided to bother him. "Big brother~..I'm reaaalllly boreeed and have nothing to doooo~" she complained as she threw herself at her brother.
"And what do I have to do with that?" the boy asked nonchalantly not even paying attention to the girl.
"Entertain me~" she groaned lazily.
"Like how?" he asked but soon regretted it, when those words came out of his own mouth, he knew he just dug himself his own grave.
"I can think of a few things~" she replied in a lustful manner, as she smirked and narrowed her eyes. She went behind her brother, and brought up her hands to put them on his chest. Just as she was about to grope him, he spun around and grabbed her face forcefully, letting out an annoyed side, behind his palm he couldn't see her smiling deviously, but he just knew that she was obviously amused.
"Geez...you can just never give up, can you?" he said frustrated, clearly not impressed by the little stunr she tried to pull.
"Mwhll yuwh kmow wi jwst luve myuu bewy mwch bwig bwofer (Well you know I just love you very much big brother)" she said still muffled by her brother's hand. Sighing, he let go of her and she fell on her behind letting out a soft yelp.
"I told you I don't need that kind of creepy love you have to offer, just keep it to yourself you psycho" he mumbled looking away from his sister, undoubtedly creeped out by her.
"Oh how I just love the harsh words you say to me brother...It makes feel so much undeniable pleasure" she said clasping her hands together with a blush on her face.
"Onee-sama.. you know better than to be playing around on missions" the youngest girl said reprimanding her sister's dirty behaviour.
"Yes, yes...I'll stop now, because my precious Yui said so" the girl said getting up from the ground and dusting herself off.
Standing in silence, a monster suddenly broke through the wall behind Yūichirō as it planned to kill him. Two figures landed behind him, as they crouched down from the monster attacking them.
"DAMN!...ONE OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE?" one of them exclaimed as sweat ran down the side of their face.
"BUCK PRIVATE HYAKUYA YŪICHIRŌ!" the male exclaimed in surprise "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?..HURRY UP AND RUN!" he shouted trying to get Yūichirō to hurry up and leave.
"Hmpf...run?" Yūichirō questioned with his back turned to them. "..Who do you think I am?" he continued gripping onto his sword. "Exacting revenge against vampires is my only reason to live" he said unsheathing his sword.
"I'm perfectly capable...OF GETTING RID OF A MONSTER LIKE THIS!" he shouted, anger swirling within his beautiful emerald eyes as he slashed The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in half.
"He's going against orders again" one of two males, said sweat dripping down his forehead.
"Ahaha, you guys should just leave him alone...Yū-chan is too stubborn when it comes to things like this" an uninterested voice spoke up. The two men turned around and their eyes widened in surprise.
"SPECIAL SERGEANT YUKARI!...WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" both men exclaimed in surprise, not believing that a sergeant would be here in a place like this.
"She came here of her own will, despite her orders not to come here" a new voice chirped in. Yuuta and Yui showed up behind them and they were surprised for the third time that night.
"GENERAL CORPORAL YUUTA AND LIEUTENANT SERGEANT YUI" they shouted for the umpteenth time that night. Why were all these high ranking officers here?
"We're gonna get scolded again big time" Yuuta said annoyed at how he was tricked into coming here by his cunning sister.
"Oh but that's where the fun lies" Yukari said, a smile on her face as she stared at Yūichirō's back in amusement. The fun was just beginning.
'The Following Day: Second Shibuya high school'
Yūichirō pouted as he stared outside, boredom written all over his face, as his hand rested on his cheek. 'I can't believe it...even if I defeated a monster, I got punished for insubordination he thought, not paying attention to what his teacher was explaining on the chalkboard. He wore the standard uniform that the boys wore for the school.
"Why on earth should a soldier like me attend a normal high school like this?" he questioned to himself "Revenge against vampires is the only thing I care about" he continued, impervious to whether he was talking out loud or not.
"Psst...you know that wouldn't have happened if you didn't disobey orders in the first place Yū-chan" a sleek voice whispered from in front of him, he looked up to see Yukari looking at him with amusement shown on her face, snickering at his misfortune. She wore the standard uniform which was meant for the females.
"You got in trouble too you know!" he whispered back angrily, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists. Dammit, sometimes this girl could really get on his nerves and drive him crazy.
"But I didn't get as nearly a bad punishment as you" she taunted back at him snickering again, she quickly turned back and payed attention to the board, waiting expectantly as she knew what was going to happen next.
"Shut up!"
"Hyakuya Yūichirō, stop mumbling to yourself...You're disrupting the lesson" the teacher claimed looking at Yūichirō with a book in his hand.
'Damn you! Yukari!' Yūichirō cursed in his mind at the said girl as he glared at her, however she paid no mind ti him and just continued staring ahead, lips curling up in delight. He turned his gaze to the teacher with his eyes narrowed before turning his head back to look outside ignoring the older male, which in turn made his teacher gasp in surprise at his defiant demeanor.
"WHAT'S WITH THAT ATTITUDE!?", the teacher finally snapped from the amount of sass he was getting from the male teenager "SO FAR, I'VE BEEN INDULGENT BECAUSE YOU JUST TRANSFERRED TO THIS SCHOOL...BUT IF YOU KEEP UP THAT ATTITUDE, I'LL HAVE YOU SUSPENDED!" he finished angrily.
"YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO HAVE ME SUSPENDED?!...THAT'S GREAT, PLEASE DO IT!" Yūichirō said excitedly as he rose up out of his seat abruptly. The others just stared at him weirdly wondering what was wrong with him, as three other students plus Yukari sighed at Yūichirō's incompetence.
"SHUT UP! ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF YOUR TEACHER OR WHAT!" the teacher yelled angrily disbelief could clearly be hear in his voice.
"Come on..." Yūichirō sighed desperately. A hand tapped him on the back, and he turned around to see who it was. It was a girl with light purple hair and reddish-brown eyes, whom stared boredly at the black haired boy. A book was in in front of her and she pointed down towards it.
"What do YOU want" Yūichirō asked irritated "Who the hell are you anyway?" he questioned further. The girl lifted up the book and Yūichirō read what was in the book.
'My name is Hiiragi Shinoa. The army appointed me as your supervisor' it read.
"What?...My supervisor?...I don't need you to watch over me, after all I already got one annoying person watching over me...I don't need another one to add to it" Yūichirō answered looking at Yukari, whom she looked at in mild surprised before waving at him with a closed eye smile. Shinoa wrote on the other page of her book then showed it to Yūichirō.
'I will report it to the army and your punishment will be extended' it threatened.
"WHAT!" Yūichirō exclaimed disturbing the lesson even further, which in turn ticked his teacher off even more.
"HYAKUYA!" his teacher yelled at him, trying to get the said boy to stop disrupting his lesson.
"Kuso!" he cursed out loud, where his teacher unconsciously repeated what he said in surprise, Yukari snickered at that in merriment, which nearly made her fall out of her chair.
"Cooperate" was all Shinoa said as she glared at Yūichirō. The boy quietly sat back down in his seat, unwillingly complying.
"Classes are over!" a student shouted, happy to finally be released from the prison that they called school.
"Time for club activities" another student said.
"Let's get ice-cream on our way back" a female student suggested she smiled to her friends. Yūichirō sat in silence as he listened to all the students conversations, sweat-dropping. 'Civilians are a bunch of milksops...they've already gotten used to this rebirth...being the capital of the Japanese empire, Shibuya is strongly fortified. But that doesn't change the fact that it is swarming with monsters outside' he thought seriously.
"Wait ! I love ice-cream too !" a voice sang from behind "I want to become friends with you guys so please don't leave me!~" another voice taunted deliberately. Yūichirō turned around to see four figures behind, three of them being girls and the other, a boy. The two girls at the front were the ones making fun of him.
"So...Why don't you go with the others?" Shinoa questioned with a smile on her face.
"What's wrong with you?..we've only just met." Yūichirō voiced rudely "And I'm not even going to bother with you Yukari" Yūichirō said directing his attention to the said girl.
"Lieutenant Colonel Guren told me that..." Shinoa paused for a bit before she continued "Your family was killed by vampires when you were a child" Shinoa said not hiding the truth "And since then you have problems socializing...because you are afraid you might once again lose someone dear to you" she continued hitting Yūichirō right where it hurts "You're so scared that you can't bring yourself to...make friends be part of a team or find a girlfriend". Yūichirō grabbed the purple haired girl's shoulder as he glared angrily at her.
"DON'T STICK YOUR NOSE INTO OTHER PEOPLE'S AFFAIRS" he stated berating the younger girl in front of him. A sudden cough escaped from plump lips as she gathered their attention.
"Yukari?" Yūichirō questioned at the girl who had a hardened gaze on her face, he was worried that she too might have been angered by Shinoa digging up their past, but to his surprise it was the exact opposite.
"Yes...about that Yū-chan doesn't need to worry about finding a girlfriend..." she took a deep breath before pausing, suspension lingering in the air as they awaited to see what the black haired girl would say next, but the knew it wasn't anything important.
"...because I...I AM HIS GIRLFRIEND!" she exclaimed rather loudly, which caught the attention of everyone in the class room. They sweat-dropped at the girls at the girl's sudden outburst and wondered what was going on in that head of hers.
"Just kidding~"
"YOU IDIOT SISTER! WHY DO YOU INSIST ON DOING THINGS LIKE THAT!" Yuuta punched his sister on the head as an angry tick mark appeared on his head.
"B-but brother-" Yukari tried to say as she got cut off.
"ENOUGH ALREADY!...COME OUT FOR YOUR PUNISHMENT NOW!" he yelled carrying his sister out the door, leaving the other three inside the classroom staring dumb-founded at what just happened.
"..." all was quiet as they waited for any sound to be heard.
"BIG BROTHER!... NO!..YOU CAN'T... NOT THERE!...AHH!~" Yukari's voice could be heard down the hallways, as one could only imagine what was going on behind the closed doors of an empty classroom.
"SHUT UP!"
