Chapter 3

Meanwhile in a small barren city of Japan, the survivors of the war against the blood suckers are still hiding their puny existence far from the eyes of every vampire for the fear that the vampires will eradicate them in a whim.

"Yuu-kun? Are you still thinking of what happened in the war?" The owner of the voice sat next to the Yuichiro, whose emerald eyes shining brightly under the moon above them. Yuu cannot sleep since the day the horrible day ended; he developed a hobby of staring the night sky to soothe his emptiness.

"…" Yu ignored the brown-haired boy named, Yoichi.

"Yuu-kun it's all in the past. All we can do now is to recover from such lost" Yoichi pursed his lips after suggesting such horrible thought. He's also restless just like Yuu and just like every survivor of the war in the human side. They lost too many comrades and friends; the memory itself is painful to remember.

"Mika" The emerald-eyed boy muttered silently to himself. He closed his eyes only to see how the silver-haired bastard dragged away his best friend. He saw how Mika's crimson eyes glared at him. He saw on those pair of crimson eyes the betrayal and loneliness that Yuichiro, himself awarded the poor blond. He is a fool and he knows it. Mikaela Hyakuya saved him several times, He even sacrificed his life for him to have a better one and yet what did he give him in return? Yuu gave him nothing but heartaches. Mika is his family and yet Yuu left him again and what was worst was that he told Mika that Guren and the rest from the Moon Demon Company are his family too.

"We are family and yet I abandoned him again for the second time. I saw all the disappointments, loneliness and even hatred in his eyes. I am so selfish"

"That's not true! You are not selfish! You just want to save and protect us!" Yoichi shouted at Yuu's direction. His small fists fidgeting while his tears threatening to roll down his orbs. He can feel the sadness and despair of his friend and yet he can do nothing about it. "Yuu-kun, you are not alone."

"I am selfish, childish and reckless. I want to save everyone and ended up saving no one. I even lost Mika and we've lost Shinoa" Yuu stands up and started to walk back to the abandoned building they now call 'home'.

*SANGUINEM*

Meanwhile in Sanguinem, The blond vampire named, Mikaela Hyakuya is currently giving his reports to his master, who is also the vampire queen and third vampire progenitor of Japan about the missions they were sent earlier this week. The timid blond gave all the piece of information he gathered when out of the blue Krul asked him something he did not and will never want to talk about.

"Are you still disappointed of your childhood crush?" Krul have no intention to hide the mockery in her tone and words. "Ah what a foolish child he is~" She smiled in an innocent manner towards her favourite pet's direction while soothing Arukanu's head.

"If there's nothing you want to know about the previous missions, I am going to ask for the permission to leave" Mika's impassive treatment towards his master left the said master amuse while she is giggling.

"Mika, come here" The child-like queen beckons for him to go near her and when the blond is an arm length far from her, she grabbed his arm and pulled him closer to her. "I want you to watch over Ferid's new pet and report to me everything" Krul whispered dangerously in his ear.

"Why? She is just a mere human who managed to earn Ferid's unwanted attention" Mika huffed while crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"We all know that the first pet that Ferid had was Crowley who is also a 'Michaela' and thus, he has the reason to turn Crowley Eusford into one of us but the Hiiragi brat isn't a 'Michaela'. I am older than Ferid and I know him since he was a human. That child's hatred towards the lowly humans is superb more than anyone else. Did you get my point?" Krul walk towards the balcony of the throne room and she glared at the children laughing merrily. Mika's watching how the children whimper under his master's piercing gaze.

"You want to know what's running inside the seventh progenitor's eccentric mind" He answered in a monotonous manner which earned a chuckle from Krul.

"Correct. I want to know Ferid Bathory's plans. You may go now" Mika nodded like a good boy and he walks out of the room.
