Disclaimer: I do not own Owari no Seraph (Seraph of the End). I write this for your enjoyment only. This story takes place in the 3-4 month time skip between chapters 40-41 of the manga and after episode 24 of the anime. Since the anime/manga does not specify what happens in that time gap, I've taken some liberties to make a filler story. This is an AU-ish scene with Yuichiro and female Mika coming to terms with their feelings for each other. I've decided not to rewrite the chapter 36 manga and episode 22 Yuu/Mika anime scene because there are already so many fanfic versions of it. On another note, this story has sexuality, mentions of rape and parent/child incest so I suggest you do not read further if you are offended by such material.
Confessions of a Vampire Princess
Yuichiro Hyakuya slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound of a door opening and closing softly. Glancing to his night table and the digital alarm clock on it, the raven-haired young man saw that it was just slightly past two in the morning. Wondering who in his household could possibly be up and about at this hour, Yuu sat up glanced out the window of his room from the second story of the house the villagers had given his squad in exchange for their protection from the local monsters, and saw a familiar figure in a white nightgown with long, flowing blond hair, leaving the grounds and making for the local woods.
"Mika?" he asked to himself curiously as he knew his adoptive sister could not hear him. Where was she going at this hour?
Worried, Yuu quickly got up and changed out of his sleepwear into some slacks and a dress shirt before slipping on a pair of shoes and quickly making his way downstairs while trying to be as quiet as possible as to not wake his sleeping squad-mates. After exiting the house, the raven-haired boy made sure to close and lock the door with his copy of the house key before making his way into the woods after his sister.
Mikaela Hyakuya placed her hand on her throat as she made her way into the woods, trying her best to ignore the ache in her throat. The blonde knew she was getting thirsty again and it was stronger than she remembered. Only a day or so had passed since Mika had last fed and she was certain she could last at least another two days before needing to feed again but found to her fear and dismay that she was wrong. The blonde placed a hand on her chest as she finally paused and placed her other hand on a nearby tree, trying to catch her breath.
No good… she thought. I'm getting thirsty faster every day. What am I to do?
Although Mika knew her adoptive brother and his squad-mates were more than willing to offer her the blood she needed to sustain herself, the blonde abhorred the thought of having to ask at all, let alone more frequently. Sleeping did help to alleviate Mika's thirst somewhat but it could only do so much before body's need forced her to awake. Fearing that she would go mad and attack her friends in their sleep, the blonde vampire decided to get up and distance herself from the house, hoping that she could find and feed off the blood of an animal to tie her over until the morning came.
"Mika?" the blonde heard a familiar voice call out from behind her. Startled, she spun around and saw her brother looking at her with worry in his eyes. Normally, her enhanced vampiric senses would have easily detected his presence but Mika's growing thirst distracted her to the point that she could notice nothing else.
"Yuu-chan! W-what are you doing here?" she gasped.
"I can say the same of you. What's wrong, Mika?"
When he saw his sister hesitant to answer, the boy figured it out quickly. "You're thirsty, aren't you? Mika, I told you that if you need to feed, please don't hesitate to ask; you have nothing to be ashamed of. There is no shame in asking for what your body needs to survive whether its food or blood."
Mikaela closed her eyes and turned away from Yuichiro as she considered his words. Although the blonde would not admit it, Yuu knew that she was afraid, afraid of hurting him even though she knew he was a seraph and could afford to give her more blood than an ordinary human could without dying. His heart filled with pity and angst at the creature his sister was forced to become, Yuichiro approached her and placed both hands on her shoulders.
"Please, Mika; I don't want you to suffer needlessly. Come inside and we'll get you properly fed."
The blonde wanted to argue but looking into Yuu's sad and worried eyes, she knew she could refuse him nothing and did not resist when he bent over and picked her up, allowing him to carry her bridal style back to their house. With all the muscle she had packed on from combat training as well as fighting humans and vampires alike, Yuichiro knew Mikaela was no light flower but he was able to carry her as easily as if she was, thanks to strength his newly awakened seraph powers have granted him.
When they were back inside the house, Yuu made sure to lock the door behind him before carrying his sister upstairs and into his room. After gently setting Mika on his bed, he went over to the fireplace and lit it up so that the flames would warm and light the room. When Yuu was done lighting the fire, he quickly went into his bathroom and wetted a towel in the sink with some warm water for he noticed that in her haste to get out of the house to protect their other friends, Mika had not bothered to put on any shoes and so her feet were a little dirty. The blonde watched him curiously for a moment before he made his way back to her and she blushed when he started cleaning her bare feet.
"That tickles!" Mika giggled.
Yuichiro could not help smiling. It was so rare to see his sister smile and laugh nowadays considering everything she had been through these past four years since they were forced to part at the gates of Sanguinem. Ironically, Mika seemed most happy and lively when she, Yuu, and the rest of the Hyakuya orphans were still living underground in the cold vampire city as livestock and even he had to admit that despite being slaves to the bloodsuckers, they still had each other and shared many sweet and tender moments together before Ferid Bathory cruelly tore apart their family. Now that they were finally reunited for good, Yuichiro wanted nothing more than to devote his whole life to Mikaela for her happiness meant even more to him than exterminating all the vampires, if such a thing was even possible.
After he had finished cleaning Mika's feet, Yuu set the wash cloth aside before unbuttoning the collar of his shirt, pulling it down, exposing his tender neck to his sister's hungry gaze and cocking his head to the side to allow her access.
"Drink, Mika…"
"Yuu-chan, I…" for a moment, the blonde hesitated; the marks she planted on her brother's neck from her last feeding had not yet healed and now she was about to plant another.
Even though he offered his blood to her willingly, Mikaela still hated having to feed off the boy she loved like a parasite to survive because she could not eat. And although he did not say so, Yuichiro could tell that his sister felt ill at ease sitting at the dining table with him and the rest of their squad-mates knowing that she could consume nothing but blood while everyone around her was eating fruit, meat, bread, butter, desserts, and other things she could no longer enjoy. And unlike Krul, Ferid, and Crowley, Mikaela had not been a vampire so long that she had forgotten how much she missed the taste of real food and drinks; she still remembered the taste of her last meal as a human- the curry that she and Akane had made for dinner the night the Hyakuya children had attempted to escape Sanguinem. Little did she know that except for Yuu, it would be their last meal.
When he noticed his sister had made no attempt to move, Yuichiro moved closer and gently took her in his arms. "Mika, please. You need this and you know it."
"I do, but that doesn't mean I have to like it."
Smiling, Yuu gently placed his fingers under Mika's chin and tilted her face up, forcing her to look into his eyes, the beautiful emerald orbs that she had fallen in love with when they had first met upon his arrival at the Hyakuya orphanage the day his parents tried to kill him.
"Like I've told you before: if it will save you, ease your torment, then drink as much as you need…"
"You make it sound so easy; are you not the least bit concerned I could lose control and kill you?"
"But you won't. I trust you, Mika. Even more than I trust myself. So please…"
Although her mind wanted to refuse, the blonde's thirst had the final say in the matter and Mikaela finally gave in to her body's need, leaned forward, and bit her brother but made sure she did so on the other side of his neck so that the marks from her previous feeding session had more time to heal. Yuu closed his eyes gasped softly as he felt Mika's sharp fangs pierce his skin and sink into the vein.
In an attempt to make Yuu more comfortable and help him relax, Mika gently pushed him down on the bed and laid on top of him as she fed on his sweet, delicious blood. This wasn't like the first time he offered her his blood in that run-down convenient store in the city last week when Mika was a sobbing mess on the verge of dying. This time, the atmosphere was much warmer, more comfortable, and…
Enticing.
Despite the fact that she hated being a vampire, Mika sighed blissfully as she took one gulp after another. Not only was Yuu's seraph blood absolutely divine, she also loved the way he reacted to her as she drank. When they were children having their blood drawn by those dreadful machines in Sanguinem, he would squirm uncomfortably in his seat, wanting it to be over as soon as possible. Now, that it was Mika taking his blood, Yuu laid absolutely pliant for her, his eyes closed and face relaxed with a deep blush that went all the way to his ears, his mouth parting in an 'o' as his chest heaved with every breath. He didn't say so (he didn't have to), but Mika could tell that he was absolutely enjoying this.
After a few more moments, Yuichiro found himself starting to feel dizzy, his head spinning as black spots danced in his vision. I'll die if she drinks too much. But I don't care; to save her life, I would gladly give my own, the ravenette thought. But Mikaela did care and when she sensed his hold on her starting to weaken, she withdrew her fangs from his neck, licking the puncture wounds clean before asking her brother if he was all right.
"I'm fine" Yuu insisted. I just need a moment's rest, is all."
Judging from the pallor on the young man's face, Mika started to worry that she might have drunk too much. If her brother was an ordinary human, he would have been dead from all the blood she drank just now.
Sensing her thoughts, Yuichiro simply smiled and said, "I'm all right, stop worrying so much."
After looking her brother over one more time to make sure he wasn't in any immediate danger, Mikaela relented. "Ok, if you say so. I think I should get back to bed and let you rest." The blonde stood up and was about to leave when she felt Yuu's hand close over her wrist.
"Mika, please don't go; I want you to stay here tonight" he begged. Although Mikaela knew she could easily break free of his hold now that he had been weakened by blood loss, the blonde did not move.
"You should rest…" she said but Yuichiro shook his head.
"I'm not really sleepy" he insisted. "I just want to be with you a little longer, please; we rarely get time alone like this and we should enjoy it when we can."
After considering Yuu's plea for a moment, Mika sighed softly and sat back down. Although he was a bit tired from having his blood drained, Yuu was still far from being totally exhausted. This was the first time he and his adoptive sister had been able get together like this since they and the rest of Shinoa's Squad had arrived at the village just a few days ago after escaping the battle at Nagoya Airport, leaving the human and vampire armies to fight out their senseless war. There were so many things Yuu wanted to tell Mika but had never gotten the chance to until now and when she saw the longing look in his eyes, the blonde felt silly that she even considered leaving him, especially since she had obsessed over being reunited with Yuu from the day they were separated until she successfully took him from the Moon Demon Company.
"You're right", Mika said. "I don't know what I was thinking. I just didn't want to keep you up if you needed to sleep."
Yuu smiled. "Even if I was sleepy, I'm willing to lose some sleep just to have you here a bit longer. In fact, sleep is the last thing on my mind right now" he said sheepishly.
Mika raised a brow and was about to ask what he meant when she made a quick glance down Yuu's body and it didn't take her long to see where his true thoughts were. Before the embarrassed blonde could say a word, Yuichiro's lips were on hers, his tongue gently prying her lips open, sliding past them and skillfully avoiding her fangs as it entwined with hers. Although this was Yuu's first time kissing any girl, let alone a vampire girl, Mika could never tell. It was almost as if the young man had planned and thought about it carefully before bringing his desire to fruition.
"Yuu-chan…" she moaned. More than anything, Mika wanted to give in, to indulge the desires of the handsome raven-haired boy who consumed nearly her every thought for the last four years but something made her hesitate and she placed her hands on Yuu's chest, gently pushing him away.
Frowning in disappointment and thinking he had done something wrong, he asked: "What's wrong, Mika? Don't you want me?"
The blonde shook her head. "It's isn't that, Yuu-chan. It's just that… you deserve someone more… pure than me. Someone who hasn't been… so used."
"Are you talking about when you sold yourself to Ferid? Mika, I love you and I don't care about that."
"It wasn't just Ferid…" the blonde said quietly as Yuu's questions brought up some painful memories from before she was sent to the Hyakuya orphanage and later taken to Sanguinem as vampire livestock.
She had never told anyone before, but her history of being violated started long before she even met the silver-haired vampire lord. Born Mikaela Shindo to a Russian man and Japanese woman, Mika was a most beautiful baby girl, possessing both exotic Asian features and fair blonde hair and blue eyes like the westerners Yuu often saw in magazines from his childhood. In fact, Mika was so beautiful that she had unwittingly tempted her own father as she grew until she finally became a tragic victim of his lust by her sixth birthday, inciting the hatred and jealousy of her mother as well. Her father's lust for her also drove Mikaela's mother to join a strange cult where she soon went completely insane, blaming her own daughter for ruining her marriage.
"Mika, what are you trying to say?" Yuu asked, his brow furrowing with concern.
"I'm sorry, Yuu-chan, but I know you are innocent and deserve someone just as pure as yourself…"
Yuichiro found himself staring at his adoptive sister in astonishment. Is that what was bothering her? That he was a virgin and she was not? What did she mean when she said it wasn't "just Ferid?"
"Mikaela…" he began slowly, "I don't care if you are not a virgin; you did what you had to do to provide for me and the other kids. I know you never liked Ferid and would've never sold yourself to him if it weren't for us."
"Ferid wasn't the worst. I was impure long before I even met him. Or you."
Yuichiro frowned as he felt his stomach drop. He had a feeling he knew where this conversation was going. The only other people Mikaela had lived with before she was taken in by the Hyakuya orphanage were her parents so it wasn't hard for him to figure it out.
"You mean…?"
"Yes… I was raped as a child. By my own father. Repeatedly. The first time was when I was six. You see, my parents never had a good relationship. After I was born, my mother noticed that my father paid much more attention to me than her which didn't help. She would scream and throw things at him when she got angry-not that he was any better. Then on my sixth birthday, he lured me into his room, saying that he had a surprise for me. My mother was not home from work yet. And then..." Mika closed her eyes and stopped talking as if it were too painful for her to continue but she didn't have to; it was obvious what happened to her next.
Upon hearing this horrifying revelation, Yuu's felt as though his heart would stop and he found himself completely disgusted, not with Mika, but her father.
"Why did you never tell me this?" he demanded, a little more harshly than he intended.
"Would you want to tell anyone if you were in my place?" she retorted.
Yuichiro fell silent. He knew his sister had a point and he felt guilty for asking such a stupid question. Still, he felt disappointed that Mika had not trusted him enough to confide in him until now. Did she think he would not want her anymore if he knew?
"Didn't your mother do anything when she found out?"
Mika shook her head sadly. "No... in fact, she blamed me. Every time I was raped by him, I cried out for her to save me but she did nothing; in fact, she only felt disgust- at both me and my father."
"Mika…" Yuu began as he gently took her by the shoulders. "I'm so sorry that happened to you. But it wasn't your fault and it doesn't change how I feel about you. Not one bit. Your parents are gone now; they can never hurt you again. So please…"
Before Mika could say a word, Yuu leaned forward and kissed her again, this time, more passionately. He truly did not care if she wasn't as pure as he was and was going to do everything he could to prove it to her. This time, the blonde did not resist which told Yuichiro that Mikaela wanted this just as much as he did, allowing him to pull up her white nightgown, leaving her clad only in her panties which left little to the imagination.
Giving in to her own desires, Mika quickly unbuttoned Yuu's shirt before pushing it off his shoulders, blushing herself when her eyes swept across his bare muscular chest and arms. Unlike her own, Yuichiro's body was laced with battle scars but she didn't dislike them nor did she find them ugly. To her, they were every bit a part of him as the black hair on his head. Before either of them knew it, they made quick work removing what was left of each other's clothes before tossing them aside like unwanted trash.
A smile played on Yuu's lips as he placed his hands under his lover's bare bottom and lifted her up, gently coaxing Mika to spread her legs as he set her down on his lap, right over his painfully hard erection, and groaning when he felt himself sink into her wet heat. Yuu may be a virgin but he still wasn't going to let his lack of experience stop him from trying his best to make his blonde lover feel good.
Mika yelped as she felt Yuu set her down until he was completely inside of her, nipping at her neck and devouring it with his lips before moving on to hers, his arms wrapped tightly around her back as he rocked her lovely body up and down, making the blonde cry with pleasure. This was different from the times Mikaela had sold her blood and body to her ex-benefactor for the sake of her family. Ferid's touch had always been cold, never warm, his kisses rough and bruising, never tender and loving like Yuu's touch and kisses were now. Every time Ferid made love to her, Mika had always endured it but never truly enjoyed it like she did with Yuu.
Yuichiro groaned when he felt Mikaela's naked breasts brushing against his chest as the fire from their loins took them to new heights of pleasure. He had been thinking about Mikaela, thinking about touching her, kissing her, making love to her like this, ever since the first time she drank his blood. The raven-haired boy had never been good with words but he hoped that after tonight, his lover will understand how much he truly cared for her. Despite being a stunningly handsome young man who caught the eyes of countless girls, including Shinoa Hiragi and Mitsuba Sangu, Yuichiro himself had never desired anyone as much as he desired Mikaela Hyakuya. It didn't matter to him if she was a human or vampire; Mika was still Mika no matter what.
"Yuu-chan…" Mika moaned as she buried her face in his neck, arms wrapped tightly around his body, as she struggled to stifle a cry of pleasure to avoid waking the others while resisting the temptation to bite him again.
The blonde arched her back as she tilted her neck back, tightening her muscles around her lover's length as she tried to coax him to climax with her. As he felt his release coming, Yuichiro flipped his lover onto her back and plunged into her body even harder until Mikaela could not hold it in anymore and screamed with pleasure, no longer caring if anybody heard her or not and neither did her lover as they finally came together. Now that he was truly exhausted, Yuu finally collapsed on top of Mika as he struggled to catch his breath.
His head was completely muddled as he laid on top of her now, trying to catch his breath. He felt her tongue against his neck as she trailed her fingers up his back making him shiver, his body still sensitive. He finally lifted his head and searched for her lips again. His fingertips traced her face before settling in her long hair, hair the color of burning gold. Mika's eyes may no longer be blue but Yuu didn't care. To him, every part of her was beautiful. He had missed her and each kiss he received told him she missed him too. Her sweet smile, her kind touch, and her sweet scent. Yuu felt special knowing that he was the only one Mika would reveal this side of herself to.
"I've missed you so much, Yuu-chan…" Mika whispered. "Not a day has gone by since we parted that I haven't thought of you."
"I've missed you too, Mika. When I thought you had died, I wanted to lose myself in vengeance and hatred but now that I know you're alive and here with me, I have a whole new reason to live." Yuu said as he final eased himself from her before cuddling up to Mika's side, taking her in his arms once again in a sweetheart's cradle. Her hair free from its usual tight bun, engulfed them both in a blanket of gold silk. It was ironic that the three feet of hair Mika wanted to get rid of so badly but couldn't because of her vampire regenerative abilities, was keeping them both warm now and she found that she wouldn't trade it for the world.
Exhausted from blood loss and love-making, Yuichiro quickly fell asleep but Mikaela, who didn't need as much sleep being a vampire and all, chose to stay up and watch him a bit longer. Seeing his peacefully sleeping face made the blonde feel like everything she had suffered since becoming a vampire worth it. It was true that she was angry at Krul for forcing her to become a vampire at first, but she now realized that if her dame had let her die, then she would've never gotten the chance to see Yuichirou again, never seen him smile again nor would she have heard his laugh or hear his voice again. And although becoming a vampire was the worst thing that had ever happened to Mikaela after being thrown out of a moving car by her own parents, it enabled her to see the one person that made her life worth living again.
But for how long? Her subconscious whispered to her. In the heat of their passionate lovemaking and tender moments, Mikaela had conveniently ignored such a question but now that she was alone with her thoughts, Ferid's, Krul's, and Lacus's words slowly crept upon her again.
Does your precious Yuu-chan love you enough to share eternity with you? I'm sure he'd rather die than become one of us! Ferid would laugh.
He may be handsome now but what about in another forty, fifty years? Do you really think you'll be happy watching him age by your side knowing that you yourself will never be able to age with him? Lacus had warned her after he discovered that she would never love him because she had already given her heart to her adopted brother.
I love you like my own daughter, Mikaela. I understand why you want to save Yuichiro so badly but I must warn you that with things the way they are now, your love for him will only bring you pain… Krul had told her sadly before sending her to the front lines but not before giving Mika her approval to vanish in order to find Yuichiro.
The words of her vampire brethren haunted Mika and she didn't want to think about them but her subconscious would give her no peace.
He will grow old… and he will die…
No, I will find a way to become human again so I can grow old with him!
And what if you can't? What if he dies of old age before a cure can be found? Do you really think he's willing to throw away his humanity and become a vampire just for you alone?
He loves me… I know he would.
At least, that was what Mika wanted to believe; she desperately wished and hoped that there was a way for her to become human again so she wouldn't have to ask Yuu to become a vampire, the thing he hated most in this world even though she herself was one. And even if there was no war between the two races, what kind of life could Mika have with Yuu? Not only did she stop aging once she had his blood but as a vampire, her womb was also barren; she would never be able to bear Yuichiro any children and give him a family for while vampires could use their blood to turn humans, they cannot naturally reproduce. Would he care? Even if he said he didn't now, her lover might change his mind in the future.
No… I mustn't think like that. I must be positive for both our sakes. I just know we'll find a way as long as we love each other…
Those were the last thoughts to cross the blonde's mind before she finally fell asleep in the arms of the boy she loved…
A/N: Ok, I've decided to end it here. Being a Yuu and Mika shipper, I really do hope they can be together one way or the other. I'll keep my fingers crossed as I await the new manga chapters lol!
