Toshinori knew that Inko was still keeping secrets from him, whatever it was it had her feeling… frightened. Nervous? Concerned? Scared? He didn't sense much guilt so whatever it was, she did feel guilty about it but, why? Running a hand through his hair, the young man tried to think on what it could be that Inko was hiding from him. Was it bad? Was her health in decline?
He'd have to figure that out by biting her though but knew that he wasn't a hundred percent sure if it was the right time to bite her now. He didn't want to keep feeding from her, knowing that if he fed from her far too often, that she would die from blood loss.
Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath as he tried to think on what he could do. God, it was even more confusing than the times he would go out on missions away from the manor and he could sweat that he heard the princess singing to him. No, not in his head but rather his heart and soul.
Running a hand through his hair, the young man knew that he was in a way still living in the past. But at the same time it seemed that the past was coming back up a lot lately, and it seemed to involve Inko and him in some way or another. It just seemed so strange, but at the same time he knew that this was something that was most likely gonna keep happening unless they can put a stop to it once and for all.
Looking up at the sky, the young man couldn't help but wonder what he was to do. He just felt so lost and confused.
Shouta had an idea that both Inko and Toshinori were reincarnations, but there had to be more than that. Just how long had this cycle been going on? Was it a never ending cycle that just had… never ended? Never finished?
Sitting on his bed, Toshinori had his elbows resting on his knees and his hands folded atop of the other with them resting against his lips. If the princess had dreams like that before, did that mean that he too had dreams like that growing up? That he had such a thing and could he even experience such a thing now that he was a vampire now? Closing his eyes, the young man tried to figure this out. There was something that he was missing, and it involved the lord somehow and his younger brother who created One for All. Whatever it was, he knew that he himself was the key to it somehow.
How was he to get into contact with any of it in the first place? He knew that he had to do something but what could he do? IT just seemed rather impossible, and it was getting harder and harder for him to focus.
Groaning as he covered his face, the young man leaned back as he laid on the bed and just seemed to stare up at his ceiling. Maybe he heard something that could help him with this, something about contacting your past lives? God, what did he learn about it? "Why can't things in my life be that easy for me?" Groaned Toshinori as he let out a soft sigh.
"Maybe Shouta has an idea…" He muttered as he looked at the clock resting on his nightstand and saw that it was rather late in the night. There was no way that Toshinori would be able to get any kind of answer out of the man, he was either out and about being a pro hero or he was dead asleep to the world.
Sighing, the young man pushed himself up from his bed and made his way over to the living room. He was hungry plus Inko was coming over in two days. He may as well be well fed before she comes over so they could have their dinner date. Though, it'd be weird that it'll just be her eating. He chuckled a little at that before making his way to the kitchen as he hummed softly under his breath as he tried to plan out his date with Inko.
He knew that he wanted to make sure that she had fun, that she would enjoy her night yet there was a part of him that still feared for her safety. It had felt as if it had happened… before… What? Shaking his head, the young man was starting to think he was going crazy. "Maybe it is possible for vampires to go mad." He muttered before walking to the fridge and pulled t open as he pulled out a blood packet and drained it dry.
Though he had been rather agitated as his fangs all but tore through the bag, almost to the point that blood had spilled onto the floor. "Damn it!" He cursed to himself before he grabbed a red washcloth from the counter and started to wipe away at the floor only to blink as strange images started to appear in his head, causing him to shake his head. "Yup, I've lost my mind or what Shouta said is getting to me. Reincarnation… that can't be possible could it? It just seems too odd."
Then again, he was a vampire, what is odder than that?
"A vampire in love." He whispered to himself before pushing himself up and went toward the hamper to toss the blood stained cloth along with his shirt. Curse him for wearing white today, he hates it that a good portion of his clothes were indeed white but he only picked them because they made him feel like he was… "There is no right answer." He whispered before looking at his reflection and frowned a little as he tilted his head.
Was his… reflection changing on him?
Blinking his blue eyes in confusion, he was trying to figure out what was going on. The image changed, his hair no longer blonde but a near white in colour. Hanging down to his shoulders as the face itself almost seemed to change. Going pale, a little sunken in though not as much as it had been when he hadn't fed for so long. Staring with wide eyes, he saw that his reflection, was of a different man. The only thing that hadn't changed was his eyes. "What… the?" He whispered.
"You don't know anything yet." spoke the man in the mirror.
Yelping in shock, Toshinori backed up and stared at the mirror in shock and fear. What the hell is he doing? What the hell is this? There is no way that this should be possible! Shaking his head, the young man gulped as he pushed himself away from the wall as he made his way over to the mirror and gulped a little in fear. God, the one thing that scared him it was his uh… does this count as his reflection?
"What do you want from me?" asked Toshinori.
"I don't want anything but for you to keep her safe." The man said softly, his eyes downcast as he let out a soft sigh. It was as if he was rather sad. Toshinori could feel it, but why? Why could he feel this man's emotions when before all he could feel was Inko's emotions? "It has always been that way, for as long as it all started, it was how it was meant to be until it can be stopped." the man said with a sigh before turning back to Toshinori.
"What do you mean 'as it's always' been'?" asked Toshinori.
The man gave Toshinori a sad smile before he looked away, a faraway look in his eyes. "Let me answer your question with another. Haven't you found it odd, how you were able to feel a deep connection with the princess? With Inko? How you just seemed to know that you had this special connection to the princess? To Inko for that matter? Even to the point that you just feel the need to always protect her?"
Toshinori looked away at that. He knew that much, but that was just how he was wasn't it? Always wanting to protect people, wanting to help those in need and Inko was just like anyone else but, she was special at the same time. Having a special place in his heart. Reaching up, he placed a hand over his chest as he let out a soft sigh. Yeah, Inko, along with the princess he had a special connection with them, he just felt it and knew that it was something that could never be broken.
Looking up, the blonde was about to answer him until he saw the man giving Toshinori a soft smile. "You feel it, just like how I felt when I was around her all those years ago." His smile turned sad, as if the memory itself was enough to burden him and weigh him down. Toshinori couldn't help but wonder what it was that this man had gone through. "It all started because of an arranged marriage." he whispered softly, making him sad but at the same time angry.
"Arranged marriage?" Toshinori repeated in confusion. But that couldn't be, the lord tried to marry the princess and had killed her father in the process. The end result was her still being alive but at the same time, his turning into a vampire. "But, the princess escaped that fate. He didn't know Inko, didn't even have a reason other than her blood so I don't know what you are talking about- why are you laughing?"
"You really are a fool if you think the things my brother said that night was true. He knew your Inko, in many different lives. She was always reborn within the Midoriya line because of her quirk's lingering presents within the bloodline." laughed the man, and it was starting to piss the blonde off. The man seemed to calm down before staring at Toshinori with a calmed expression. "I created One for All and the sword you carry as a means to protect my princess. My love, the only woman I would ever love. Yet, given my weakened body I could never keep her safe."
"Protect? But why? Why would you need to protect her from your brother in the first place?" asked Toshinori with a frown.
The man sighed softly as he stared back at Toshinori. As if he was seeing another person yet at the same time still seeing the same man that was in the room. "Kumiko, the woman who had without meaning too started this whole curse." The man said with a sad smile as he looked lost in his memories. Letting out a soft sigh, the young man looked at Toshinori as he said "I understand that you do not believe me, I wouldn't either but you need to learn the truth. This is something that even the past users never learned about, even some things that two other users never shared as they… they…"
"They were killed weren't they?" asked Toshinori.
"Yes, my brother had managed to find them eventually. The reason why they never mention their tales to other users is-"
"Because after the quirk is transferred over, and they left he hunted them down and killed them. Does that mean that even Nana…"
"Most likely."
"Damn it!" He cursed.
No wonder why the stories never changed, no wonder why he never knew what had happened to them in the first place. He had just thought that they had just disappeared. Gone home to their families or just went to go follow another dream that they had wanted to fulfill and then, his turning. "Why would he wait though? Why wait until the power was already transferred over?"
"Because they would still have the advantage over him with the sword and power. Without one or both, he would have had a better chance. A chance, to get her, but he would always fail as the new guard would always be around to keep her safe when she was reborn in the family." The man said with a soft smile on his face as he let out a soft tired sigh. When Toshinori saw the fangs, he knew that he had to ask. How was a man like this, a vampire no less, be defeated or killed for that matter?
"How did you die?" asked Toshinori.
"Oh, because I'm a vampire like you right?" He chuckled a little before giving another sad smile. Letting out a soft sigh, he calmly looked up at the blonde as he said "Pretty much the way any vampire can go. My brother found me without One for All, as I had already transferred it. Even with my weak body, I was still stronger compared to a human. I knew Kumiko was safe, I knew that she would always be safe. Safe, and away from him, I was happy to die that say so long as I knew that she would always be safe."
"That didn't answer my question."
"Ah right, I didn't did I?" Perhaps, it is better that I show you my life don't you think?" The man said before he reached his hand through the mirror, the blonde yelped in shock before the man reached out and placed a hand on Toshinori's forehead as he whispered "Know, and learn and bring an end to this curse before it destroys us all…"
Toshinori felt his eyes widen, he saw a flash of light that was so bright that he could have sworn that he could feel his pupils dilate into needle tips. Groaning, rubbing at his eyes as he looked around as he only saw bright white surrounding him. Did that flash of light blind him or was it still trying to adjust to almost being blinded? Wait, could vampires even go blind?
Toshinori found himself staring at the darkened area of… a castle? Huh? Frowning, he tried to look around only to curse at himself when he noticed that he had no control over himself. What was going on? Did that man really try to show him what had happened to him by really showing him? But did that mean that he could… feel everything as well?
Suddenly, he heard a soft groan and the sound of springs hitting him as he carefully pushed himself up from a bed and slowly made his way over to the mirror. The blonde had no idea if he was somehow within the mind or body or whatever of the man but knew that something was wrong. His body felt heavy, almost like lead and rather weak. Even his hair felt heavy.
The man looked up at his reflection, though it was rather faded to the point that Toshinori knew that he couldn't even see the man's face. Just a blurry outline of his body but he knew that this wasn't his body at all. It seemed that the man had put him in his own body, so he could really see what was happening, what was going on.
"I'll need to feed…" He muttered before slowly, and carefully making his way out of the castle. Toshinori wondered where he was even going. The man muttered to himself about stupid quirks and how his brother was already collecting an army of vampires to join him in the hopes of ruling the world. It made him sick knowing that was what his brother had in mind when these strange powers started to come around. It didn't help that his brother had this strange quirk of his now.
As for him? He had no quirk, had no power to himself.
Letting out a soft sigh, the young man kept walking until he bumped into someone. Looking up, he saw a tall man shrouded in darkness yet he could make out a pair of gold eyes that could pierce his very soul. The man had short hair that almost seemed as it was slicked back and it almost made the smaller man tremble but he stood his ground as he stared at him. "Hello brother."
'Brother? This guy is… no way.' Toshinori thought to himself with wide eyes.
"Ah, my dear sweet little brother. Have you decided on whether or not to join me my little brother?" The man shook his head as he looked away. "I see, you still refuse to join me? I thought you would have joined me brother we could rule this world together! Immortal kings!" He said with a big grin on his face.
"I don't want that though Yuugure."
"Now, now brother, why must you always see things as black and white? You are my brother, you are to join me and you will… Now, go and feed already." He grumbled before walking off. The young man let out a soft sigh as he started to make his way outside, thankful that it would be night so all he would have to do was find someone willing to help a sick person but… god he hated this. Why did he have to be a vampire? He would have been happier as a human.
As he walked, the young man looked up at the moon, wondering if there would be more in his life than this. Living day by day just barely getting by. Yet, he knew that he couldn't fight his brother, he couldn't defeat him as he was but knew that he had to think of something.
Suddenly, he bumped into someone and gasped. The cold air irritating his lungs as he coughed and looked down at the person who bumped into him. God, what was it with people bumping into him today? When he looked down, he blinked his eyes and felt something that humans would best describe as a flutter in their chest.
Standing there, dusting off her kimono was a beautiful woman. Dark green hair that almost seemed to reflect the moons rays. Eyes so green that it reminded him of lovely emeralds. He couldn't help but feel like he could get lost in those eyes forever. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to stumble into you. I'm so sorry." She said with worry in her eyes.
"No, the fault is all mine. I wasn't looking where I was going miss um…"
"Oh, I'm Kumiko."
"Lovely name for a lovely woman." He said with a grin, only to turn away as he hid his fangs from her. "I… I'm Yuudai."
"It's so lovely to meet you." Kumiko said with a soft smile, her cheeks tinted in a blush that made the man think that she was the most beautiful of humans that he's ever laid his eyes on. He wasn't sure why, but he wanted to know more about her. To learn as much as he could about her as possible but, what could he do? He was a sickly vampire. "Are you okay?" asked the woman, causing him to look away shyly.
"I'm fine, I… I'm not used to being around a human woman who I'm not… uh… um…"
"Drinking from?" She said with a small smile.
"What?"
"I know what you are, it's why I am here." She whispered sadly, causing Yuudai to frown a little in confusion. "I was forced to leave my home, in order to keep my family safe I was asked to come here and tend to the castle." Yuudai frowned a little more at that, he didn't hear about such a thing.
Toshinori was rather curious about all of this. Why would they want her around just to clean up the castle?
"Well, just know you have a friend in me here." Yuudai said with a smile on his face. His blue eyes softening as he gazed down at her.
"You have lovely blue eyes." Kumiko said, causing her to blush madly. "Uh… I'll be inside." She quickly stammered before making her way inside. Toshinori couldn't believe what he was seeing, so this was how he met her, but what happened otherwise?
Blinking his eyes a few times, Toshinori frowned as he soon found the scenery changing to back inside the castle. The man, Yuudai yelped out in pain as he crashed into the wall. No, more like he was thrown. Toshinori groaned as he rubbed his side. So he could feel everything the man was feeling after all. "How many times will you just keep defying me Yuudai?!" shouted Yuugure.
"As many times as I want brother." Yuudai said with a weak snarl.
"You will join me no matter if you like it or not!" He shouted before thrusting his hand over his brother's face, hand glowing with a black aura as he said "You will see things my way brother, and what better way than for you to have this ability. You'll stock up power as it is used, and you will be more powerful and you will do as I say!"
"You never gah! Turned me! You can't control me without a fragment of my soul!" shouted Yuudai.
Fragment of the soul? Huh? What was that about?
Yuugure narrowed his eyes before dropping his brother. "Kumiko, clean up the mess in here will you. I'm tired of seeing my brother's face." He then started to walk out of the room with a huff, his cloak of shadows following behind him before he left the room.
"Yuudai!" shouted Kumiko as she rushed forward and laid the man on his back with his head on her lap. Looking down at him with tears in her eyes, she gazed down at him as she asked "What happened?" Yuudai groaned as he breathed deeply, trying to think any kind of words to explain all that happened. Yet, he couldn't help but wonder, why did he feel so warm?
Blinking slowly up at Kumiko, he whispered something to her. But it seemed that she leaned in closer to him with a small smile. He gazed at her, his eyes clearing as he stared at the woman with nothing but adoration in his eyes. How could he had fallen for a creature such as her so easily? Frowning a little, the young man just stared at her. "You're beautiful." He whispered, only to avoid his gaze. How could he have said such a thing as that?!
"I am?" she whispered in shock.
"You are." He whispered softly before letting out a soft sigh.
Kumiko blushed a little more before she carefully drag her fingers over his cheeks as she whispered "Yuudai, why do you treat me different compared to your brother?" asked the woman with confusion in her eyes. That was something that confused Toshinori, as he didn't really get to see their interactions very well, or at all for that matter. He just tilted his head at her in confusion.
"I don't really know myself. I just know, I want to see you happy, want to always see you smiling… your beautiful when you smile." He whispered softly only to groan. His fangs growing before he covered his mouth. "I should go, I… I have to feed." He whispered. Yet, before he could even get far away from the dark green haired woman, she held onto him tightly and pressed her wrist to his lips. "Kumiko?"
"Bite me. Drink my blood, I want you to be healthy and you are so sick… It hurts me to see you so sick and frail. I want to help you. I want you to be happy." She whispered gently, her eyes filling with tears.
He let out a soft sigh before biting her wrist. Kumiko shuddered a little as she gazed down at the man. If Yuudai was honestly, he felt that this was the best tasting blood he has ever had in his entire life. It was something that he couldn't have anything to compare it too. IT was as if this was something that only in his wildest of dreams could have. Now though, he couldn't help but be curious as to the true reason to his brother bringing a human here. There had to be something, had to be anything that would have made his brother come here?
Shuddering a little himself at the taste, Yuudai pulled his fangs back as he licked the wound closed. He looked up at Kumiko and frowned a little at him. He knew one thing though, Kumiko's blood was valuable, and he wasn't sure what it was. If it had anything to do with her blood or even just her quirk in general, whatever her quirk even was. He knew that he had to do something to prevent it from falling in the wrong hands, as well as her.
Though, he knew then and there that he would use his new quirk to help him build up its power. This was the only way that he could think of to keep her safe. He knew, that this was his purpose, to protect this woman, to make sure that no one ever dares try to harm her.
But, he knew that he would need something else to help him with this quirk, he would need something made that would also repel vampires and he knew one kind of alloy that would make it easy to kill vampires, but he would also have to be careful when it comes to holding it so he wouldn't burn himself. This was all rather strange but he could still make it work.
Toshinori frowned a little in confusion. What was this all about? It was mostly just talking about the weapon being created and of course One for All being given at last. Frowning a little in confusion, Toshinori watched as the man pushed himself up and helped Kumiko up as well. They both went to work on cleaning the room from after Yuugure had trashed the room by throwing his younger brother around.
He wondered though, if vampires themselves fell in love at first sight. Did they just, seem to fall in love right away? That they could only love one person? Was that why Toshinori himself had fallen in love so quickly with Inko? Both times?
This was confusing, and it made him feel as if he was further and further from the truth. Something that he just couldn't understand, not felt like he could ever understand in the first place. "This man is so confusing." Toshinori muttered to himself.
The images flashed forward once again, the images flashing by so quickly to Yuudai's time with Kumiko. To them dancing around in the moonlight, singing and dancing around in the rain as they hold onto each other. To when they kissed and the man holding his beloved in his arms. It made him think to the times he had with his Inko. Reaching out, Toshinori wondered if the man was able to stay with her for very long.
Soon, the images flashed to when Yuudai was running with Kumiko, away from the castle. "Yuudai what is going on?" asked Kumiko.
"He's trying to marry you, he wants to make you his personal blood servant. If he marries you, he can say all he wants. I won't let him have you, I want you to be free of such things!" shouted Yuudai as he dragged the woman away. He turned to look at her as he whispered "I don't know how long it'll take until he finds out but this." Turning to give her a heart broken look, he whispered "I can't allow you to live such a life, and the only way I can make sure that you live this life, the life that is the safest for you is if I take you to a clan."
"A clan?" Kumiko said with a frown.
"The most powerful of clans. I know that…" He stopped for a moment only to sigh softly. "I would want to be with you forever. You are the only woman I could love but this way, you can live the life that you've always wanted. But this way, you will always be safe." He pulled her close for a moment before kissing her deeply. Kumiko sighed softly against his lips
"Yuu…" Kumiko whispered softly.
"Kumiko, I would have loved to be your husband, but sadly in this life it isn't meant to be. But maybe in the next life it can be." He kissed her forehead before running again with her. Hoping that this will keep his beloved safe at all times.
That no matter what happens, that he could always keep her safe. Yet, as for how else to keep her safe, the young man didn't know what he was going to do. If only he could give his power to another. If he could do that, then he would be able to make sure that the princess was always safe, that no matter what happened, in every life, and even her own family could be protected at all times of the day.
Inhaling deeply, the young man made his way through the forests, being careful not to lose her. Wanting to make sure that she wouldn't fall behind. He had to keep her safe, had to make sure that he could fight his brother off and Kumiko will be safe at all times.
Once they arrived, the man saw all of the guards and narrowed his eyes at the two trespassers. "Halt in the name of Lord Midoriya."
"I am here to allow this woman safety. The lord and I made arrangements. She would live here, and she would be safe so long as I gave something else in return to ensure her safety." Kumiko looked up at the man she loved with wide teary eyes. Letting out a soft sigh, the young man kissed her forehead as he whispered "I don't care what happens to me, but what I do know is that I will only want her safe. I would do anything within me to do so."
"Yuu…" Kumiko whispered softly.
"I see, I will keep her safe in your stead. What was it that you would leave behind?" asked the guard.
"My sword… it is the only thing that can stop my brother, as well as my power. But, I do not know if I can give away my power but if I could I would. I would do everything within my power to give it to you but sadly I cannot." Yuudai whispered softly before pulling out the sword from its sheath as he whispered "Just keep her safe." He then hissed as his sword cut his hand, causing his hand to steam a little.
"Are you alright?" asked the guard.
"Yes, I'm fine, don't worry about me."
He handed the sword to the man before the man sighed accepted the sword and stared at the blade. "It is asham for the sword to be ruined by blood." He whispered before licking the blood off and wiped it down. "I'll give it a proper cleaning after, this way the blood won't stain the blade." Yuudai nodded his head as he gazed at Kumiko, holding her hands in his as he gazed at her lovingly
"Kumiko, should I return, know that I will make you my bride someday. I don't know how long it'll take, but know that I will always love you. This life, or the next my love is yours and yours alone." He whispered softly before kissing her gently and sighed softly before he left.
"Yuudai!" He turned back as he gazed at her over his shoulder. "Just know, that no matter what, I love you. I'll always love you. No matter if I die and in my next life I'll also love you no matter what!" He gave her a soft smile before nodding at the woman he loved more than anything. With that, he made a break for it back home, though as Toshinori watched the scene, he couldn't help but want to slap his forehead.
One for All was given away the first time by accident?!
What the hell?!
How was this even possible in the first place?! Then again, how would you know if you had a quirk that could easily be given away to others if you had no way to test that theory when you believed that you were quirkless? Sighing softly, the young man looked up, before watching as Yuudai had made it back to the castle.
Only to be tackled by his brother by a blinding speed. Yelling out in pain, Yuudai looked up with wide eyes as he watched his brother glowering down at him. "You took my bride away!"
"You never loved her!" Shouted Yuudai as he jumped up, only to cough into his hand. "You never loved her, you only wanted her for her blood!"
"Because he blood attracts vampires, she could sustain us forever brother. Even if she was turned, her blood would help us, her quirk doesn't just attract small objects, it also lures us to her much like a scent would." Yuugure said with a smirk on his face. Though, Yuudai just snarled as he went to throw a punch at the man, only for the man to growl and twist his wrist until it was broken. "You've fed from her haven't you?"
"So what if I have?!"
"Ah, this curse shall work beautifully then."
"What?"
"Have you forgotten brother? When a vampire feeds, we take a sliver, a fragment of that person's soul if we so deem it. Makes it easier to control them when we turn them."
"I'll never turn her!"
"Oh, that isn't what I meant at all brother!" laughed Yuugure with a twisted smile on his face as he gazed at his brother. His smile still rather twisted and sinister. "You shall be cursed, both of you. Even with just a fragment of her soul, it is enough to curse both of you. You'll each never find proper rest, you'll never be with her for every time you are together, ruin shall befall each and every single one of you"!
Yuudai stared with wide eyes. His brother would go so far to do such a thing? No, that can't be true, he had to get out of this, had to find a way to get out of here before it was too late! He had to warn Kumiko! Had to warn her that she was in danger! "Every time, each and every time you think you can be happy in each life, you'll never be together. Only when I have been defeated truly will you be able to be happy."
"No!" shouted Yuudai.
"Sorry brother, I did care but I guess you have tried to get in my way far too often since she arrived." It was in that moment, that Yuudai, along with Toshinori felt a tremendous amount of pain as Yuugure, combined the quirks that shocked him, burned through his skin with fire. Ice started to shoot through his body, steal pierced through his flesh as he soon found his very body being torn to shreds by the combined power of the quirks his brother had collected.
Toshinori screamed out in pain.
Toshinori looked around wildly until he saw that he was back in the bathroom in his apartment. He couldn't help but frown a little in confusion before tilting his head a little to the side. "What?"
"My brother, didn't want to admit that someone didn't want to be his slave, he was petty but it had wounded his pride I guess. Or, maybe in his own twisted way he loved her too and didn't want her with anyone else. So what better way for revenge on me and her, than by cursing the both of us? I had at the time explained everything that was happening to the lord of the Midoriya clan. He kept his promise and Kumiko was even married off into the clan… sadly the curse lived on."
"And she was reborn as the princess and Inko." Toshinori whispered.
"Yes. For that, I am sorry. I never wanted any of this, I had hoped that at some point, one of my reincarnations or even the other users would have stopped it. But, I guess my brother was tired of killing them off after giving away the power instead of waiting while the power was weak. Or maybe, he was over confident in his abilities. I hope, that because you used that power for so long that it had become stronger, strong enough it ever could and that it would finally defeat my brother."
Toshinori nodded his head, he looked back up at the man as he asked "I need to know, why you fell for Kumiko so quickly? So easily? Humans don't do that but…"
"Simple, vampires aren't like humans but we are. When we love, we love hard and deeply. We choose one, and only one to love. Once we found the one to love, the one that we want to be with eternally, then nothing else in the world matters but their happiness. Kumiko, was the only woman for me, and always would be. No matter if I had lived, if I had survived long enough to find her reincarnation, I would have loved her because at one point in time, she was Kumiko but just another part of her. That was why you, and every past life of you, had fallen for the princess of the Midoriya clan, because your soul, is that of a vampire."
Toshinori nodded his head that did make sense. Though, he wanted to know more about this, to learn more about being a vampire. Just as he was about to ask something more, he felt something grabbed his shoulder, causing the man to nearly jump out of his skin. "Ah! Shouta!" He screamed in shock before letting out a soft sigh. "When did you get here?"
"Been home a while, you just never came out of the bathroom and your eyes just looked glazed over you alright?" asked Shouta with a frown on his face.
Toshinori frowned before looking back at the mirror and saw that it was no longer Yuudai he was looking at. But his own reflection. So, had that all been in his head or had it really happened? Had he really spoken to his past life? Turning to his 'son' he said "I have a lot to tell you."
"Okay, but first get the hell outta the bathroom." Shouta grumbled before kicking Toshinori out.
