Bloody Red
You woke up the next morning on the floor of your apartment. Last night, you didn't even tried to get your things back at the faculty room. When he said 'Go' you started running away from the warehouse straight to the station and to your apartment.
You sat up on the floor, you felt sore from sleeping on the floor without any futon...it was cold but it doesn't really matter- the more you feel something cold and warm the more you felt alive and free from those men-and that person...?
That person saved me...
Looking at your wounded palm, you sighed. It wasn't a dream- those people tried to do something horrible to you- and the one who helped you...that man-has abso-fucking-ly inhumane strength and speed...
Abso-fucking-ly? Is that even a word?- ah yes you and your horrible curses. You should really stop using such words-as a teacher, you must not use such words-but you almost died so it can't be helped.
You felt something on your neck, and when you reached...you winced.
It was from the knife...when one of them took you as a hostage...
Oh...you need to do something about that wound now.
You looked at your hand too...its wounded as well.
Standing up from the floor of your apartment's genkan-where you fell asleep- you made your way to where you randomly placed the first aid kit box.
It was a weekend so you can just stay where you are and probably rest without thinking of anything-but then, your things...you can't just leave it there.
After taking a bath and tending to your wound you prepared to leave to get your things back, you were thinking of getting something to eat on your way there- you weren't thinking about crossing paths with the men who tried to do something to you last night- you are positive that they are already...dead.
Your thoughts wondered to the person who took their lives...he spared you didn't he?
You stopped walking in front of the school gates, it wasn't locked-there are several students who are preparing for the Kantou tournament...yes, you remember Tsukimori...he was suspended from playing because of the stunt he pulled the other day.
'Where is that kid..Tsukimori.' now you'll have to look for him again, probably you'll just have to call his parents...
*sigh*
You entered the school grounds and walked to the faculty room immediately. When you opened the door your bags are still there,you were relieved.
Ah, another set of papers to check huh?
Picking up your bag and placing the papers on the envelope, you looked at the window at the corner of the room - the window's view: the docks...and of course, the burnt open space of where the warehouse is supposed to be.
Sighing, you remembered what happened last night again, of course you were scared and the feeling is still lingering around your body...but you were saved...spared?
Whatever-eh? Something is not right...
You blinked once-twice...
Your eyes widened when you realize what you just saw a minute ago-the warehouse...burnt down to zero!?
'No way!'
There was nothing left there- From your view, you can see that there are several people circling around where the warehouse was supposed to be...
*-Suoh-Mikoto-*
Suoh Mikoto looked at his hand seconds later frowned at them.
There's supposed to be 'No. Blood, No Bone and No Ash' to be left behind-but he cannot use his flames-well... that's what he thought...until he lit his cigarette after devouring the blood out of those thugs' bodies...
It was a habit of his to lit up his cigarette using his own fire-but since the day he 'woke' up and used his flame and nothing happened, he was using a lighter one of the old man handed him...but he last night out of habit, like I said earlier, he flicked his finger-small controlled flame appeared and he leaned down to lit his cigarette, when he breathed out the smoke, that's when he realized that he didn't used his lighter at all...
And that is it, the next thing he did is that he left no blood, no bone, no ash of everything inside of the warehouse...even the warehouse itself.
"I cannot believe it- there are no trace left..." one whispered.
"What is it? Another mystery again?"
"Isn't it a normal thing to happen? There are those unexplained explosions coming from the Ashinaka High- what else do you expect?"
"Now that you mentioned it, there are different clans and such ruling the city, no?"
You walked around the warehouse and indeed, there are no trace of anything from the warehouse itself- but it was quite obvious that it was burnt down- judging from the marks on the ground-and it was unexpectedly went unnoticed by the people!?-now that is weird- didn't they smell the burning woods or something?
They didnt- after all, the houses are quite far from the docks. Or if they probably did smell it, they ignored the smell.
You pushed away a few strands of your (h/c) to the back of your ear and yet the cold breeze from the docks blew them floating behind you...
A touch.
Your body suddenly felt like someone just touched your hair. You looked around to check if there was anyone there but found no one standing near you-you were standing the the furthest back from the crowd of people.
'Ara? Wind?' You decided to just leave the scene now, standing there will just bring back the unwelcomed traumatizing scenarios from the previous night.
Somehow you were happy that they burnt the warehouse-and that there was no body found-they are dead and they can't hurt anyone anymore or something like that.
You turned and suddenly stopped, your eyes just caught a sight of a ruffled red hair and furry coat as it disappeared at the crowed.
You stood there frozen - fear? No, but something close to that and also something along the lines of thankfulness - he helped you last night...he spared your life last night.
The crowd started to lessen, and you just stood there and search for the said man and then you found him...you saw him walked away with some of the people who was walking away from the scene.
"Its that person-"
*-Suoh-Mikoto-*
He isn't the type to go back and check the crime scene, but something akin to thirst made him. He followed his instinct and he ended up standing behind familiar (h/c) woman.
People's smell are all the same to him- the smell of food. Those who are bleeding or has an open wound smells more and intense-but this person here, standing with her back against him is nothing compared to a fresh and openly bleeding flesh of any edible things he had encounter.
Suoh Mikoto isn't the type to crave for something sweet- mostly before he was turned, Anna was the one who made him eat such things, but at this moment- he just wanted to have a taste of that something sweet- to be more specific, the person standing before him.
He watched as the woman brush her hair back that moment the wind blew as well, making most of the strands flew along the direction of where the wind was blowing...
He was standing so near to her, and he caught a small sight of her neck- it was tempting, but Suoh Mikoto is not that kind of man...instead, he just reached for some strand of her hair before they fell on her back, it was a brief touch and he let the strands fell on their own from his hand-he smirked when he felt her body stiffened at his light touch.
Mikoto sees everything move so slow since he woke up- or is it because he just move so fast- faster than he used to be during the time he was alive? He sees her move slowly to look over her shoulder and when she did, he had already took a step away from her and is walking along with the crowd of people.
He knew YOU saw him...but he didn't mind it. He watch as you stood there looking around.
He will leave you for now...but he promised himself that the two of you will meet again. The district is smaller than Shizune City and your smell is very attracting-he could just easily locate you. He was curious as to why are you there to that place again, didn't you just experience something horrible in that place?
Your face looked thankful yet mixed with fear, he noted.
*-Suoh-Mikoto-*
You walked back to your apartment and opened your door. You maneuvered easily inside and placed your bags on the table as you walked to the fridge and get yourself something nice to eat; Later, you planned to call your parents and then Tsukimori's guardians.
*-Suoh-Mikoto-*
Anna opened her eyes that one evening when she suddenly felt a familiar aura and she jumped out of her bed and immediately climbed down the stairs to Izumo's bar.
Kamamoto noticed her and immediately came to her aid.
"Anna-chan?" he asked.
"Mikoto?" She asked.
Izumo just sighed, it was already a regular occurrence where Anna would wake up in the middle of the night and would ask for their king...it has been happening for almost a year now...
"Anna-chan, I'll make you some milk." Izumo would still smile at her and Kamamoto will watch over her.
Anna looked outside the window...It was that same feeling again...
...Mikoto's Warmth.
.-TBC-
A/N: uwaaa! Sorry, I was told that Mikoto's powers aren't supposed to return anymore-but, I can't just do that-then I remembered that he can't get back his flame because he's not a king anymore-now let me do some twist and turn to the original plot of K for the next chapter.
Have you guys seen K: Missing Kings? No? I haven't seen it either. But judging from the trailers, Anna-chan met Mikoto and Totsuka in her dreams or something like that, and that just means Mikoto is with Totsuka and both of them are dead already... Missing Kings happened a year after Mikoto died... let's just assume that this happened a year and some number of months after his death and the time when Anna became the new RED QUEEN-Homra Queen.
Being the previous Homra King, he is still a member of the red clan, basically making him acquire the red aura from the Anna's power enabling him for using few fire techniques-
OR maybe I can make him the shadow king of Homra too. Since he died and was turned-basically that means he's back alive and kicking...and that means homra's back to business... I'm not sure which one to use.
Help me maybe?
a. Make him just a red clansman of the new Red Queen-where only Anna and kusanagi knows of his existence but not as a king, but just as clansman.
b. Make him the Shadow King of Homra-where nobody knows except for Anna and Kusanagi about him being alive and such.
Which is it? Please pick B tho.
A/N(2): super late update no?
Well... let's just say I was busy with the KnB loveshots...
And I lost track of my thoughts regarding this story... too many stuffs to do and I didn't have time to talk with cosplayer Mikoto-san about how he wanted this chapter to happen...so I decided to pass for a couple of weeks.. then lastly, my cat died.
Yes, my precious baby boy (Persian cat) last December 13? I was broken for a long time spending my Christmas and new year with a broken heart- its a long story and to make it short, I want to some people let me mention them:
1 the person who groomed my boy, burning his skin from the fucking blower...that triggered the random crappy shits of complication with my boy's blood. It hurt soo much I cannot talk for several weeks and I just ended up crying every time.- I'm not over reacting... that's what I felt.
2 the fckign vet clinic who didn't check his status...if I didn't come there every time to check on him you will not fix the IV attached to him, you weren't feeding him well too.
3 my ex boyfriend who distracted me and making me miss his last night. I cried the next day when I got the call that my cat was dead. I hit my ex so hard when I saw him. He hated my cat because inlove my cat more- well, my cat is better than that flirty crap anyway.
If you wanna know what happened its posted as Authors' note on my 'works' check it there.
Ugh, I'm crying again... the feels... my heart breaking...
Anyways... See you next update and I'll make the next update longer...or I'll try to make it longer probably.
