Chapter 16

X-X-X-X

This isn't good, you were captured by the vampires. Damn it...! What changed?!

Don't worry, Mika-kun. Even if things change, it shouldn't be too big of a change...could it?

...Crowley managed to get ahold of you when you passed out. What reason did he have for grabbing you when he didn't do so before?

Stop, not now...please...Mika-kun.

Fine, I'll be checking up on some things so don't bother me for a while.

Okay.

I didn't remove my gaze from the pod the Mika was in. It's strange...knowing I have a Mika from the future in my head while there the Mika of this time in front of me. Actually it might be easier to call Mika from the future by his proper name to not confuse the two. While I was the enemy, I was...strangely given free roam so long as I was shackled with special chains that make me as weak as a child so there wasn't much point in me trying to fight or run. I didn't have my weapon, but I can still talk to the demon and get an understanding about where he is. Apparently, he's stuck with Crowley who he's calling a weirdo, but someone he would definably get along with.

"He's crying...?" I heard the machine announce that the removal of poison was completed and the pod began to open up. "Welcome back, Mika-kun. You've been in there for several days." I said giving him a weak smile.

"Kanon-chan...?" Mika looked at me and he quickly rubbed away the tears in his eyes. "What are you doing here?" Mika asked unable to look at me.

"I was allowed to go where I please since I got this thing stuck to me." I tapped the stupid metal collar around my neck. "It even has a tracker in it, strange, right?" I asked offering him a towel.

"..." Mika seemed to realize he's still naked and I looked away as if I didn't see anything. "Thanks. Has anyone harmed you?"

"No...Krul Tepes...sama is ensuring my safety as a prisoner of war. My blood is to not be taken and no vampires are allowed to touch me no matter their reasons. If she were to find any injury on me then she'll kill the culprits who hurt me."

"I see..." I kept my back to Mika as a means to give him privacy. "Did anyone interrogate you?"

"Not really. I'm simply a soldier, I don't have access to classified stuff." I did though, despite what they thought. "I'm not much use so I'm simply a prisoner of war."

"I see."

"How's the injury?"

"Fine."

"I'm surprised he is." I glanced towards the purple haired vampire looking at us, rather...looking at me. "That monster of yours sure did some damage. I wonder how much you know. Maybe you're not human either."

"If I wasn't human, do you really think I would still be here?" I turned my gaze away. "I'm powerless and weaponless, if I wasn't human I would have ran off long before this stupid collar was put on my neck. I'm here to take Mika-Ehem, Hyakuya Mikaela to the royal chambers."

"For a prisoner of war, you're not exactly putting up that big of a fuss. Even running errands for vampires. Whose side are you on, human?"

"My own."

I began walking and I acted as if I didn't hear anything. Mika joined me moments later and neither of us said anything. I gained several looks from various children due to the fact I'm a regular human and due to the fact I was wearing a fancy and frilly dress instead of the uniforms they wear. They didn't try to approach me though, due to the fact Mika was right behind me. Whenever I was alone though, some of the braver ones were quick to approach me asking me about how I was dressed like this or who I was. I tended to ignore them though, seeing as...I shouldn't get attached. If I did, then the vampires would have some leverage against me and I do not want that.

"Kanon-chan, how are you doing?" Mika asked looking at me.

"I'm doing fine." I said looking ahead.

"No one hurt you."

"Not unless they want to die."

"Have you been eating well."

"Well enough. I get two meals a day here."

"How about sleeping?"

"Aside from the fact I have a coffin instead of a bed, it's not all that bad."

"Co...Why would you have a coffin?"

"The room I'm staying in belongs to a dead vampire."

"Are you safe?"

"Not like anyone is allowed to harm me. The one time an idiot tried that, your queen sent them to the surface and they were forced to endure sunlight for three days before they were killed. Since then none of the vampires approached me."

"...Are you angry with me, Kanon-chan?"

"..."

"I've been alive all this time and...I've become a vampire."

"I'm not angry, I'm just not sure how to act around you right now. You're not the same little Mika-kun I knew as a child. Plus...I knew you liked me when we were kids." I stopped walking and Mika stopped and looked back at me, obviously confused. "I...am not sure what to do..."

"Kanon-chan?"

"..." I looked at Mika and I smiled at him. "Yuu-kun and I are lovers."

"What?"

"I knew it, you're surprised. Well, I never did think about him as a man since I've seen him grow up...not that he grew up all that much."

"...So much has changed...I guess I really don't have a shot...not that I had much of a shot when I became like this." Mika looked down at his hands. "My hands are tainted with human blood. I must be a monster...just like every other filthy vampire."

"I wonder about that." I walked towards Mika and I grabbed his hand with both of mine. "Mika-kun is still Mika-kun. Human or vampire. It does not matter to me. You're still the Mika-kun I love."

"..." Mika looked at me with wide eyes before giving me a small smile. "You're still the same, Kanon-chan."

"Krul Tepes...sama is still waiting."

"Kanon-chan, did I ever have a shot...or would I have had a shot if I was still human?"

"Does it matter?" I reached up, patting his head. "Seriously, you grew up, but you're just like Yuu-kun. Both of you are just little kids aren't you? Really, both of you are so tall compared to me."

"...I love you, Kanon-chan."

"I want to tell you that..." I opened my mouth to tell him about what I know, but no words came out. "I want to tell you that I..."

Stop, Kanon-chan. Don't do it.

"...I love both you and Yuu-kun...so much, but...why is it...?"

Don't say it! Don't say it, Kanon-chan!

"How can you love..."

STOP!

"A boy who abandoned you?" Mika didn't look too surprised to know I was male. "You knew all along."

"I have always known, since the day we first met."

"I still lied to you."

"It doesn't matter."

"I still abandoned you! I ran while you were-"

"You didn't abandon me!" Mika grabbed my shoulders, giving them a tight squeeze. He quickly released me when I tried not to shout out in pain "I'm sorry, Kanon-chan! I didn't...!"

"Please, not now. Mika-kun, you have a meeting to get to. I abandoned you...I was afraid and I lived knowing it was my fault...I was the one who found the map...I was the one who-mph!"

Lips crashed into mine, I stifled a gasp when I was suddenly pressed against a wall. That's when I felt something enter my mouth. A hand was tangled into my hair, forcing me to keep my head in place as Mika forcibly kissed me. I was gasping for air when he finally released me. Mika rested his forehead against mine, looking me in the eyes.

"I don't care if you're with Yuu-chan or not. I still love you, please...please don't...don't leave me again...prove to me that I'm still alive. That...I'm not a monster..."

"Mika-kun..."

"...!" Mika quickly pulled away, using the back of his hand to cover his mouth. "I'm sorry, I...I have to go!"

"Wait, Mika-kun!"

I couldn't stop him from running off and I stood there, still breathing heavily. I slid down the wall and I rested my forehead against my knees.

Mika-kun, explain, now.

We are the same person you know. When I first saw you after rescuing you...I did the same thing. Yuu-chan got mad though.

I have to tell Yuu-kun...I know I do.

It wasn't that bad.

Lair.

I meant what originally happened. Even though I kissed you, Yuu-chan didn't get that mad.

Liar.

It's not like he hit me.

Lair.

Were you always this stubborn?

I hate you sometimes.

You could never hate me.

I hate you sometimes.

I love you, Kanon-chan.

What am I supposed to do then?

Mikaela didn't answer me and I could sense he wasn't in the mood to continue with this argument. I did my best to calm my beating heart and I decided to take a long walk until I've calmed down. Still, why the hell is my heart beating so quickly and why is it everything in this world so fucked up?! Seriously, first I end up reincarnated somehow. Then this world somehow ends. Then I learn of the existence of things of legend! Blah! This world is fucked up!

X-X-X-X

I took note of Felid and Mika ahead of me. After searching for my friend for so long, I finally find him...but he's with that bastard of all people. I saw Felid pluck a human boy from the ground, saying something about drinking human blood to Mika. I approached the man and I grabbed his wrist, causing both males to look at me.

"Felid Bathory, drinking blood from humans directly in the capital is illegal. Release the boy." I stated glaring at him.

"Oh, my precious little Kanon-chan. It's been too long." Felid said dropping the boy.

"You two." I turned my gaze to the two boys who were glaring at me. "Go, now." I said turning my gaze back to Felid.

"So serious, aren't you? Even though you gave me your blood on a daily basis in the past." Felid grabbed some strands of my hair and brought it to his lips. Only to get his hand slapped away by Mika who pulled me to his side. "Come now, it's not like I plan on taking her from you. I thought I could enjoy her blood for old time's sake." Felid said smiling at me.

"I'm tempted to let you so Krul Tepes-sama kills you."

"So mean."

"Get lost, Felid Bathory." Mika grabbed my shoulder leading me away. "We're leaving."

"Are you afraid that if you drink human blood that your precious little Kanon and Yuu will hate you for it?"

Mika's breathing began to turn uneven and I felt him pull me into a hug once we were far away from Felid. I reached up, patting his head as he tried not to bite me. The future Mika said that I couldn't let him bite me...that I shouldn't give up my blood, but I don't care. I don't care what he says, not when he's like this right in front of me.

"Drink my blood, Mika-kun." I reached up, pulling away the cloth covering my shoulder. "Drink." I said pushing his head towards the exposed shoulder.

"I can't...I won't drink y-"

"Once one becomes a vampire, there is no turning back. You and I want to protect Yuu-kun, but how can you do that if you're constantly thirsting for blood? It won't last long, Krul Tepes' blood. Yuu-kun would have said the same thing. Drink my blood."

"I re-"

"Stubborn."

"I'm not stubborn." I bit my tongue hard enough to bleed and I let the blood pool into my mouth. I pushed Mika to the ground, my body on top of his. "K-Kanon-chan...!"

I pressed my lips against his, forcing my tongue into his mouth. I could feel Mika still beneath me as my blood hit his tongue. I don't care what future Mika said...the future has already changed. So...I'll change what I have to in order to keep my friends and family safe. The future isn't set in stone so...I'm going to plow way for a future I want. Mika's tongue curled around mine, desiring more of my blood. I pulled my lips away from his only to have him turn us around so I was underneath him as he continued to kiss me. Mika pulled away first, a trail of saliva still connecting our lips.

"Kanon-chan...why...?"

"I told you, didn't I?" I simply smiled at him as I stared at his blue eyes that slowly became red. "I love you. I love Yuu-kun. I don't want to see you suffer anymore. Yuu-kun is also the same."

"...I'm a vampire...a monster."

"I don't want to see you suffer anymore. I don't care if you're a vampire, I don't care if you think you're a monster. You are Mika-kun. Always have and you always will be. I don't want to see you die so please...don't abandon me too..."

"...Kanon-chan..."

Mika's lips were pressed against mine once again and I felt his fangs scrape against my tongue. I could taste the blood again and I know Mika could as well, if him tangling his fingers into my hair was any indication. I couldn't keep up with his freakish vampire ability to do this without breathing so I quickly covered his mouth the moment he tried to go in for the sixth or seventh kiss.

"Stop! I need to breathe!" I shouted at him.

"S-Sorry."

"Geez, idiot! You're going to bite my tongue off at this rate!"

"...Sorry."

"Stop apologizing! Get off, you're heavy!"

"R-Right!" Mika quickly got off me before helping me to my feet. "I'm...sorry...I guess I'm still..."

"Baaakkkaaa!" I flicked his nose and I dusted off my dress. "Ask me whenever you want blood. I'll give it to you from now on, okay?"

"R-Right..."

"I swear!" I began pulling at his cheeks. "Both you and Yuu-kun annoy me with your constant 'I won't share the burden' shit!"

"R-Rwiht..."

"Let's go!"

"Where are we going?"

"To see Krul Tepes! Come on, she wants to talk to you."

"When exactly did you two become so close?"

"She seems to enjoy dressing me up and listening to me rant about the many ways I want to kill Felid."

"...I'm actually not that surprised. She doesn't like Felid very much."

"Sou?"

"Yeah."

Mika looked at me and his gaze turned from my eyes to my lips. He quickly looked away when he saw this and I tried not to laugh about how cute he is. I stared at Mika's face more specifically his new eye color. He did consume human blood...my blood...in the most unorthodox way. I moved my tongue against my teeth, realizing I had at least two more cuts on my tongue. I guess his fangs did this...or he bit my tongue...how did I not notice?

This is why I said not to do this...

I had no idea you could act like a horny teenager...which you are.

I swear, you're just like Shinoa. Acting so perverted...

I acted as if I didn't hear him, but I can see why Shinoa has so much fun messing with us even if she comes across as a pervert. I jumped a bit when I felt a hand intertwine with mine and I looked up at Mika to see he wasn't looking at me. I was with Yuu and yet I did this with Mika. I'm not sure if I should be happy Mika is here or guilty that I had just made out with him while Yuu is worried about me.

X-X-X-X

Chapter 16 Ends

Mika x Kanon right now! I'm a bit embarrassed about the ending with the kiss, but I must admit it was so tempting that I couldn't resist! Not to mention in the original story it was Yuu who forced Mika to drink his blood and Kanon isn't the type to just wait around for her friend to become a vampire while he's obviously suffering. Kanon loves Yuu, but Mika is also their family. The pinkette would do anything to ensure that he isn't forcing himself or suffering and is more than willing to force him to drink blood if she feels he is being an idiot. She knew Mika would become a vampire, it was only a matter of time, but refused to turn the other way when he is in pain. Well, that's it for today so until next time my dears! Bye-bye~!
