"Kimizuki-kun, you would get arrested if this was modern times." I said watching him try his hand at hot wiring.
"Shut up." Kimizuki said using the knife end of my scythe.
"I've never ridden in a car before, I'm getting a bit excited." Yuu said right behind me.
"Oh, you got it." The hummer gave off a rather nice sound after it started up. "Nice." I said as he got out.
"That's awesome!" Yuu said his eyes lighting up.
"Hm...Seems like the oil level is decent despite the fact it's been sitting here for so long..." I said getting into the driver's seat.
"Erm...is it possible for me to drive it for a bit?" Yuu asked Kimizuki.
"Wha-you can't simply drive you know."
"No, but...just for a bit."
"Don't touch it. I'll teach you the basics later on."
"Woah! I had no idea you could drive too! That's so cool!"
"L-Listen up, kids sit in the back, okay?"
"Kimizuki-kun is embarrassed." I was giggling at his shy and embarrassed blush. Yuu looked in through the window and I gave him a blank stare. "You're not driving."
"Come on, just for a bit."
"Not happening. Move back a bit, I'm going to adjust the car."
"You know how to drive too?! When did you learn?! That's so unfair, Kanon."
I didn't answer Yuu as I maneuvered the hummer so it was facing the road away from debris. Kimizuki looked at me and he looked like he wanted to say something, but didn't seeing as I knew how to drive. I leaned out the window, resting my head in my hand.
"There's only five seats we're either going to have to squeeze four in the back or two in the passenger seat. Kimizuki-kun, you and I both know how to drive so do you want to drive or should I?" I questioned looking at him.
"How good are you at driving?"
"Mikoto-san said that if the world didn't end that I could have made a damn good racecar driver...or a getaway driver."
"...Why am I not surprised? I'll drive for now."
"Got it. So, how do we all fit?"
"Just sit on your boyfriend's lap or something."
"..." Kimizuki and I both looked at the blushing and stuttering Yuu. "That may not be possible."
"Why are you two dating again?"
"I'm rather amused with Yuu-kun's cute reactions~!"
"Don't go calling me cute, Kanon!"
The others tried not to laugh at Yuu's plight as we got ready to go. I sat in the backseat with Yoichi, Shinoa, and Mitsuba. Or rather, Shinoa was sitting on my lap while we drove. Shinoa was rather amused with this since Yuu looked rather put off with the girl on my lap...and she kept messing with him by purposefully holding onto my arms. As we got closer to Shinjuku, we could hear a strange commotion coming from that direction...and that only put us on high alert. Just as we turned the corner, everyone's eyes was on the wall, but mine weren't.
"Kimizuki-kun! Yuu-kun, in front of us!" I shouted noticing the man...no...vampire walking leisurely.
"Don't stop, Kimizuki! Run him over!" Yuu shouted grabbing the door handle.
"Shinoa-san, hold on to me." I said looping an arm underneath her knees.
"Wow, so manly." Shinoa said looping her arms around my neck.
"Shut up...Now!" I shouted leaping out the moving vehicle.
I managed to land safely and I dropped Shinoa on her feet quickly. I saw Yoichi aim at the vampire, but it wasn't good enough...since this vampire is clearly strong enough to deal with us singlehandedly. Shinoa and Mitsuba ran in front of Yoichi to protect him from the strike the vampire sent towards the boy.
"Shinoa-san! Behind you!" I shouted seeing the vampire appear behind the distracted girl.
"Hm?" The vampire stopped and looked towards me. He looked slightly surprised, but also amused. "Well, well, if it isn't little Hyakuya Kanon."
"Y-You're..." I froze, staring at the vampire with wide eyes until he was suddenly in front of me. "C...Crowley...E-Eusford..." I backed away, shaking. "Y-You...Then that means...Felid Bathory...!"
"Don't run." He reached for me, but his arm was cut off and I was pulled far away from the man. "Ara."
"Kanon! Are you okay?"
"Y-Yuu-k-kun..."
"Not bad for a human, but if you're friends with little Kanon then I suppose it should be expected. However, Felid won't be pleased if you take away one of his favorite toys again." Crowley gave me a smile. "It seems you managed to replace that eye of yours. It was rather annoying listening to Felid complain about losing his favorite toy while he stared at the jar containing your eye."
"..." I felt like falling over in shock at his words. "Damn pervert is a damn pervert even now."
"Ahahahaha! You got that right! He keeps the jar around him like it's a good luck charm."
"..." Two more vampires appeared, the women who are usually with Crowley. "Damn...I knew those two couldn't be so far off..."
"Should we run?"
"Impossible. With three of them at their level, we have no other choice than to fight. It's highly likely we'll even die." I glanced at Shinoa as markings appeared creeping out from her collar, slowly covering her chin and cheeks. "We keep fighting until even the demons may even go berserk. Until we nearly use up all our powers."
"That's life on the battlefield." I unclipped the chains around my waist, letting them hit the ground. I adjusted my stance, scythe and knife in hand. "Don't step out of formation."
"I won't let anyone get killed. Not Kanon, not Kimizuki, not anyone. I obtained this power for a reason." I sensed something strange from Yuu for a second before it disappeared and I wondered if it was my imagination. "Right, Ashuramaru?"
"Crowley, what are you doing in a place like this?"
"The Seventh Founder is calling you to the frontlines, Crowley."
"Felid is? Hm...it'd be bad if I don't go. However..." Crowley glanced at me and the women did the same. They looked at me with a smile as if realizing why Crowley said that. "Hm...What should I do, I wonder?" Crowley grabbed his arm and reattached it. "I suppose the best action would be..."
"Ah!" I was suddenly lifted by the waist and I was being carried away. "You bastard! Let go!"
"I'll be taking this little one then. Next time we meet, I'll be sure to suck your blood dry."
"Kanon!"
"Shit! Yuu-kun! Go on, don't worry about me!" I lifted my hand up to stab Crowley, but he simply grabbed my wrist. "Let go, you bastard!"
"As feisty as ever."
"Stop!"
"Don't!"
I heard the others shouting as Crowley dragged me away. I gave up struggling seeing as it would be pointless now since Crowley took my weapon away, but...I really don't like the stare Crowley's women are giving me. If Felid was bad with his dressing me up, these two were worse since I look like a certain vampire queen. Ugh...it was worse when they found out I was male, often saying how it'd be better if I became a woman...by cutting it off. The mere thought was scary...!
"Gave up on fighting, little Kanon?" Crowley asked giving me a smile.
"Your face makes me want to puke." I stated crossing my arms.
"Come now, don't be like that."
"I'll be however I damn well please! I'm not stupid, I won't win in a fight against three vampires of your level alone."
"Kanon-chan~! It's been so long~! Do you remember me? It's Chess!"
"..."
"Really now, why don't you answer, Kanon-chan?"
"Don't add 'chan'. You know I'm a guy so knock it off already."
"Eehh~! So boring~!"
"Don't be rude, Kanon-chan."
"Then, what do you plan on doing with me, Crowley?" I looked up at him with a frown. "I'm not exactly of use to the army."
"I thought you might want to see an old friend of yours."
Be careful, Kanon-chan. Don't give away information that you know I'm alive.
If you let me take control I'll be able to deal with them rather easily.
"I don't want to see fucking Felid's face."
"What a mouth you have on you now. I bet he'll be surprised."
"Fuck you."
"Is that an offer?"
"Of course...not!"
I began grumbling in the languages I knew, cursing out whatever deity that exists with Crowley adding in his two cents on occasion...also speaking whatever language I was talking about. I began cursing him out in several languages while he cheerfully corrected my pronunciation or teasing me about my 'lack' of knowledge due to the fact I'm human. I shut my mouth and I took note we were finally where Felid was located after taking several detours...and Yuu and the others were here.
"Wait..." My eyes focused on a head of blond, the one Yuu was focusing on. "Mika...kun...?" I questioned with wide eyes.
"You called for me, Seventh Founder?" Felid glanced our way until his gaze focused on me. "I caught a rather interesting human, recognize this one?" Crowley asked smiling.
"Oh, if it isn't Kanon-chan! It's been so long, it seems you finally managed to replace that eye of yours." Felid said looking too pleased with himself.
"Kanon-chan?" Mika looked towards me when I was finally put down. "Why...?"
"Kanon!"
"Yuu-kun!"
"Don't try to run now." Crowley held one wrist with one hand while the other was on my shoulder. "Stay where you are, little Kanon."
Crowley held me back and I couldn't fight no matter how much I wanted to. The others attempted to retreat, but Yuu kept switching his gaze between Mika and me. Just as he turned to retreat, Felid was right behind him, ready to cut him down. I opened my mouth to shout his name, but Crowley covered my mouth with his gloved hand.
"Puwah!" I shouted struggling in his grasp.
"Don't, I do want you to come back to us in one piece, little Kanon. Maybe we should turn you into a vampire as well." My head was forced up and Crowley looked down at me. "What do you say? We'll even turn your precious little 'Yuu-kun' into a vampire as well." Crowley said pissing me off.
"Hmph!" I opened my mouth wide and I bit down on his hand, his blood dripping into my mouth. "Grr...!"
"You bit me? You must really hate me, right?"
Don't swallow his blood! If you swallow his blood, you'll become a vampire, Kanon-chan!
Now you tell me this?!
Lucky for me, Crowley removed his hand and I spat out the blood that pooled in my mouth. I returned my gaze to the battlefield to see Mika holding Yuu. The blue-eyed male looked towards me as if he was sorry he couldn't retrieve me as well...the guilt and fear that what could possibly happen to me. I simply smiled at him and he turned his head away, running away with Yuu.
"It seems you were abandoned." I released a startled gasp when Crowley's hand left my shoulder and he started unbuttoning my collar. "Now, let's get a taste of you. How much has your blood changed in the years you were gone, Kanon-chan?" Crowley asked exposing my neck.
"N-No...!" I said shaking a bit.
I squeezed my eyes shut as I felt his breathe against my neck. I felt a wet appendage against my neck before the pain. I heard someone scream, but I just kept my eyes shut. I hate it...I hate this...! I gripped the wrist holding my collar back, weakly attempting him to release me. I heard someone shout my name and I slowly opened my eyes to see...Yuu and Mika looking right at me.
"Please...run...Yuu-kun...Don't...!" I cried tears streaming down my cheeks.
I stifled a gasp...feeling something in the air that was familiar...and frightening. Crowley removed his fangs from my mouth when he heard my gasp of fear. However, I kept my eyes trained on Yuu. Crowley removed his gaze from me to Yuu and he saw what I saw...a strange black wing sprouting from Yuu's back. Yuu swung his sword and I felt something blow past me, knocking me off my feet...with someone no longer behind me. I blinked slowly at the crater before me.
"What...the fuck...just happened?" I asked with wide eyes.
I turned my gaze to Yuu as he approached me and I was...afraid...I was incredibly afraid right now. This isn't...this isn't the Yuu I know. This isn't the kind and cute Yuu I've known! What the hell...What the hell is the meaning of this?! Why is Yuu...What happened to Yuu?! I slowly got to my feet and I kept my eyes on Yuu. Yuu's eyes...He doesn't even recognize me.
"Yuu...kun...Wh-What happened...Why are you...?" I questioned when he grabbed my neck.
Kanon-chan!
"Kanon-chan!"
"Y-Yuu...kun...I can't..." I was lifted into the air by my neck. "Please...!"
"You...are not...to be here...!" I felt something warm hit my face and I struggled to keep my eyes open when I saw Mika be skewered by Yuu's sword. "Don't interfere, vampire!" Yuu threw Mika away and he returned my focus to me. "Why are you here?"
"If you want to kill me...Then please...Don't do it like this..." My vision was blurring due to my tears...Yuu's grip is tightening, I can't breathe...! "If...by your hands...then do it...as...y-yours...elf...! Not...l-like...t-thi...s..."
I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. My grip on Yuu's wrist slacked and I could hear screams and shouts all around me. I could suddenly breathe again and I coughed a few times, but I wasn't sure who was holding me this time. I struggled to stay awake, but all I saw was white in front of my eyes...and the sound of someone calling my name.
