Bloody Red Chapter 3: DREAM
You closed your record book and stretched. Its been a long day-though Saturdays are supposed to be a rest day, yours were spent doing the grading sheets that you needed to hand over by Monday-you didn't want your Sunday to be filled with work, so you finished everything now.
It was already 12:45am, Sunday.
You stood up and walked to your bed where you comfortably let your body drown into the darkness of the night.
You were lucky that your your neighbor's now quiet...unlike earlier that night...it seems like they were having some kind of...activity.
You heard a female voice moaning and grunting in pain.
'What are they up to anyway, BDSM?'
You didn't want to know. You pushed the thought at the back of your head, you didn't care, the only thing that matters now is that they are now quiet..and you can now sleep and worry about nothing since your grading sheet is already finished.
You opened your eyes as you suddenly woke up after sleeping for a short time, you turned to your side where you found your clock on the nightstand saying 2:49am. The glowing red light of the clock made you blink twice at it before you registered the time.
Two hours... you've been asleep for two hours...you need more...
But...wait...
Normally, you would only turn your back and drift to sleep again, but you didn't. Instead, you looked around your room, something wasn't right...the summer night isn't supposed to be this cold...but you felt a chill run up to your spine.
'Cold...' you grumbled before you reached for your blanket under your pillow. Then you moved your eyes across your room again to check if your AC is on high, but the yellow blinking near the switch signifies that its on its normal temperature.
Sighing, you decided to turn away from everything inside your room and faced the window next to your bed.
The curtains floating due to the midnight breeze entering your room.
"..." you closed your eyes.
There was a cold air touching the exposed skin of your face-your cheeks to be exact.
"Mmmhm." You opened your eyes slowly, and your line of sight was still focused on the window beside your bed, yet this time... a figure was sitting on the window sill.
You closed your eyes and opened them again, it was still there. It was sitting there as if its watching you in your sleep. There was a faint smell of cigarette and then you moved slightly to have a better look of the person's face.
But when you shifted a little more while watching the figure intently trying to make out a face out of the darkness your eyes met a pair of red orbs.
It was only for a brief second and the bloody red turned gold before it suddenly disappeared from your sight. You weren't sure if the figure jumped from your window down or just suddenly disappeared right there and then just like a ghost...
You sleepily closed your eyes again deciding that it was just probably an illusion created by your head due to your tiredness and the fact that you were attacked by men the other night...
'It wasn't real...right?' You asked yourself...but decided not to answer your question... its too early to think, and too late to stay awake.
The moment that you opened your eyes, it was already almost 11am.
You sat up and looked around your room. Nothing has changed and lastly the window are closed.
"It was just a dream." You said quietly and stretched before starting your day.
*-SuohMikoto-*
Earlier that day he saw you again around the docks where the supposed to be warehouse was. He watched you before he left the scene.
That evening he walked past to a neighborhood and he suddenly caught a smell that suddenly woke his thirst to feed.
He looked up and saw a room at the 4th floor of an apartment building...with an open window. He was clearly sure the smell was coming from that place.
It was a quiet night and he just stood there contemplating from jumping up and ripping the neck of the unlucky person and drink down his blood... in any order, it depends on they will react towards him...he doesn't care, he's just suddenly thirsty...hungry.
His golden eyes was turning red from the thirst and he didn't want to cause a scene there at that neighborhood...not right now because there's that faint smell of that woman again from the docks.
He easily recognize her smell because she was standing with in arm-reach from him earlier that day...he easily remembered her smell...
Aside from her smell, her blood too is special...it tasted like those of Izumo's most priced wine that he is keeping and only serving to him when there's a special occasion...
No, wait.. its more than that...
He stood there waiting for the owner of the room to turn of his lights then, that's when he will take him...
A moan...
Someone was moaning...and it was coming from that room and then there was a grunt it was quite obvious that someone is in pain followed by a sweet smell of fresh blood flowing...
"Ahhh~"
'Ah, they were having sex.' Suoh Mikoto finally realize. He can now point out why the smell was very attracting...
"The blood is most delicious when a woman is at her 'peak of ecstasy'." Was what came to Suoh Mikoto's mind...he heard that line somewhere before, he just can't pinpoint where and when.
He wanted to pounce on them right there now, he was craving for some blood now...he was unsatisfied from last night, the goons' blood tasted so bitter-everyone's blood taste bitter especially when they are taking drugs... also last night, that woman's blood made him crave for more than just plain blood...but something more pure...untainted.
Her blood was untainted...
The woman up there is in the peak of ecstasy and there's more than that...she was pure too, Mikoto could smell it from her blood...but well, not really pure now.. she was just tainted by some man she believes to be her lover... but either way, blood from an innocent is still blood even though they just did the deed... still better than those goons and animals.
His eyes twinkled bloody red as he prepares to leap up to the window when suddenly he heard a groan, and the scent of the woman from last night suddenly got stronger...followed by her appearance by her window reaching out to close her window to refrain the moaning and grunting sounds from next door interrupt her.
Suoh Mikoto stared at her and then suddenly he decided to walk away from the apartment building.
He wasn't expecting her to be living at the same apartment as his target. And seeing her just made him more...thirsty.
He remembered the taste of her blood...
While his thought was all about her blood... he forgot all his reasoning and suddenly he just really really wanted to drink human blood...
Just for tonight, just let me satisfy my thirst...
"It's that woman's fault." He groaned and in split second his eyes turned bloody red and he disappeared to the path leading to the city's red light district-that district is dangerous, someone might recognize him... but he doesn't care, just for a short time, he needed to satiate his hunger.
*-HoMRa-*
Anna walked to the window of the dark bedroom and stared at the city lights... her gaze lingered towards the furthest district... she wasn't allowed to be there, there are lots of bad person there-those who sell little children to the old men... and more.
Mikoto never allowed her to go there even if she's with Izumo or with anyone from Homra... she didn't want to go there too... but now, he she feels like she wanted to be there...she wants to see him.
She felt his presence last night, yet today, she can't feel him at all.
"Anna, time to go to bed." It was Izumo, he was smiling at her from the door and she nodded and followed him to her own bedroom...
That room was Suoh Mikoto's...not hers.
*-Scepter4-*
Munakata Reisi frowned as he scans the report he received from one of his subordinates. While the Red King is now resting in peace, the green clan is trying to disturb the peace that he established in Shizume City, and they just won't stop... then there's this seemingly harmless issue that came from the district somewhere outside the city...
'Unexplained disappearance of animals...'
"Whoever did this report... give him a break. I think he needs time to arrange his thoughts." He ordered, throwing the paper down on his desk, a certain megane standing before his table rolled his eyes followed by a 'tsk' before he picked the paper and walked away to the door.
"I'll be taking my leave for tonight, captain." He said before he stepped out of the office and closing the door behind him.
"Was that Fushimi's report?" Munakata's voice questioned and a blonde woman standing right beside his table frowned.
"That was not his, but it seems like he needs a break, captain."
"Maybe we should too... What do you think, Awashima?"
"I apologize, captain." She said, "But we have a lot of things we need to deal with."
"Is that so?" Munakata sighed, then he stood up from his chair and walked to the window where he could look up at the dark sky filled with stars.
"Last night, I woke up and up and I suddenly felt Suoh's presence." He said.
"Captain, the Red King is already dead."
"Yes. I know...but last night..."
"Its just a dream. After all, the Red King played a big part in your existence."
"Probably." Munakata didn't say anything anymore...he just stood there and admired the beauty of the night sky.
*-Suoh Mikoto-*
He licked the blood dripping from the corner of his lips as he dropped the lifeless body of yet another gangster wanna-be who tried to stop him on his way to the red light district... there were seven of them.
It was the longest 2 minutes of Suoh Mikoto's life as he beat them to almost their death...but he didn't kill them. He needed their blood...and taking the blood from dead people isn't really part of Suoh's menu.
Suck their blood to death...that's what he did after he beat them up.
'Bitter...' he disgustingly grumbled, yet he felt more satiated than he was earlier.
He then decided to walk back to the apartment building. He still wanted to take his target...or so that's what he wanted to tell himself.
The window of his target is now closed-locked to be exact. And yet, the one next to theirs is more tempting.
Suoh Mikoto quietly opened the window of the woman's bedroom and found her sleeping on the her bed...
Mikoto's eyes caught sight of her exposed neck...but then he is currently full...
'You should be thankful of those thugs wanna-be..cause if they weren't there, you would be my dinner.'
He watched her shift around and then reaching for something under the pillow...
Suoh Mikoto is standing right in front of her bed...and watched as she turned her back quietly and faced the wall and glanced at the window, the night's cold breeze made her shiver and Mikoto noted that before he walked at sat down on the window sill to have a smoke for a short moment... later, he will leave.
Inside her room, it felt like those times when he was still in Homra and living with Izumo and his clansmen...with Anna.
The Warmth.
Mikoto eyed the books that was neatly placed at the bookshelf... is Anna doing well? He smiles as the thought of Kusanagi helping Anna with her studies...
Then Mikoto felt a small movement and his sharp red eyes glanced and met a pair of shining (e/c) orbs. His bloody red eyes changed to its normal gold ones. And he immediately knew that the woman was awake and is trying to comprehend what is he is.
He must not be seen-not by her...again.
In split second Suoh Mikoto managed to jumped out of the window without making any other unnecessary movement and noise.
What was he doing there anyway? He questioned himself as he walked to where his new hiding place is.
'Ah, yes...' this time he was certain, he's going to have a taste of her blood again.
