CHAPTER IV: RUMOURS
"Rize died?!" Touka gasped. She was wiping the counter when he heard Koma and Irimi talking about it.
"She got into the accident at the construction site nearby. They said she bleed too much"
"We may heal fast but rumours said that she did not heal at all because she haven't been able to hunt that day and the steel hit her heart"
"…" Touka sighed
"Humans called us immortal but we are not invisible to such damages unless you are from a certain bloodline"
"But we all know that they were extinct, the pureblood that is."
"Indeed"
Days turned into nights and at last, he found who he was looking for, His black shoes clacks into the tiled floor of the abandoned building. Tracing the dust that covered the fancy-looking rails of the staircase he frowned but it did not last long once the person who he is looking for appeared behind him, tightening their grip around his neck.
"Please, I am currently experiencing a stiffness there" The intruder murmured.
"Who might you be, pretty young man?" The resident of the building asked, cold hand gripping the boy's neck tight.
"If I told you that I lost my way home you won't believe that, right?"
"No human will lost their way here"
"Indeed. Our common friend says that I can find you here, Onee-san"
"?!"
"Ah please-! Please! You'd kill me if you grip my neck that tight! I am pretty fragile you know"
"Who might you be, human?"
"Human?" The younger of the two laughed softly. "Will you let me go so we can talk?" But instead of letting him go, the man bites hard on the crook of his neck which earned a hiss. "Very well" The younger of the two grabbed the hand that is abusing his neck and the next thing they know is that the older one is lying on his back and the younger one is sitting on top of him while inspecting his gloved hands. "Nico-nee, don't be mean. I went all the way here to take you home"
"Your blood—" Nico paused. "Just who might you really be, young man?"
"You are looking at this era's Washuu King" He smiled
"How beautiful"
