Blood One – The Vampire Attacks
-
Yuya had trouble with the tray of food she was carrying. "Oh… Goddess of Cooking and Silverware, help me with this!"
A hand helped her. "You called?" a pair of hazy blue eyes fluttered.
"Oh, Ayaka! Where did you come from!" Yuya gave the tray to Ayaka's open arms. "Hold this for me for a while please; I need to straighten myself first…" she unfolded her sleeves and straightened her dress. She took the tray from her again. "Thanks… oh, when did you return back here? I thought you were having fun at America…"
"Oh… America's good but here is nicer… London is safer for me…" Ayaka took a sandwich from the plate and took a big bite from it. "Ha! It seems that you're I love! Who's the man!"
Yuya blushed. "No… I'm not…" she denied. "And who told you to eat that!"
"Well, I'm a hungry girl…" Ayaka ate all of her sandwich in one bite. She munched it like a chipmunk. "Oh… Yuya-chan… how's Nozomu?"
Yuya's expression changed. "Nii-sama's dead…"
"Oh, I'm sorry! But… when?" Ayaka questioned.
Yuya wiped away her tears that came coming out. Some of them fell on the food. "Oh dear! I c-can't serve food like this! I- I have to-"
Ayaka grabbed Yuya's shoulders. "Yuya, why didn't you tell me! I have a right to know! I'm Nozomu's fiancée!" Tears formed, her eyes filled with tears. "H-how did this happen!"
"He… he lost a lot of blood…" Yuya dropped the tray with a loud CLANG!
The door of the guest room opened. Kyo came out of it. "What's the matter!"
Yuya's eyes widened and she jumped at him. "Ah! I told you to not come out! Get back in! Get back in!" Yuya pushed Kyo back into the room but he refused to move.
"Who died because of a vampire? Tell me!" Kyo shook her shoulders. Yuya cried because of the pressure. Kyo released her.
"Who're you? How did you-" Ayaka started but was cut off by Yuya.
"Did you eavesdrop on us! How could you! Leave!" Yuya shouted, wiping her tears. She glared at Kyo fiercely.
Kyo looked away, a little bothered by her glare. "I would if I could, but I can't."
Ayaka who was now a little interested helped Yuya back on her feet. "Yuya, it seems like this man is sorry because of his actions, go and clean this up and I'll bring this guest to his room."
"His room is just-" Yuya was cut off by Ayaka's finger.
Ayaka brought her finger to her mouth. "Shh… go now… and wash your face, auntie said you're gonna have a class after this, with Sir Toichi…"
Yuya picked up the plates and the tray without looking at Kyo. She got up and passed Kyo, purposely bumping his shoulder. "I hate you." She whispered.
Kyo's eyes widened because of her statement. 'I've never heard of a woman hating me…'
"You, pale man, get in the room, I need to talk."
-
Yuya slammed the tray on the dining table. "Hey, clean this up for me please; I need to hurry for class." The maid then bowed.
Yuya washed her face clean and then grabbed her purple velvet coat and then she left for her class.

Ayaka opened the closed drapes even though Kyo threw a hell lot of curse words at her. "Shut up!" she yelled at him.
Kyo's skin burned but Ayaka didn't care. "Curse you…" Kyo muttered.
Ayaka folded her arms. "Talk now, vampire! I could see those red eyes of yours… I thought vampires can cover their eye color…"
"Hmph… now I know that that woman is stupid… I never changed my eye color ever… it can't be changed not knowing the reason why…" Kyo smirked.
"Yuya-chan doesn't believe in vampires… even though she's been attacked once… when she was quite small, her real mother died because of a vampire… the vampire nearly bit her but Nozomu saved her…" Ayaka told Kyo. Kyo's expression changed.
"Vampires… from my experience of hunting them… never attacked humans until just recently… her mother must have something that attracted them."
"You HUNT vampires? But you're a vampire too!" Ayaka said bewildered.
"I was bitten before I became a real vampire hunter. I was a student of the late vampire hunter, Muramasa. I was bitten by a lady vampire…" Kyo gritted his teeth and showed his fangs to her. "The bad thing is other than being immortal is that I'm anemic…"
"That's hard… do you know where to find these vampires?"
Kyo shook his head. "They come and go, that's why I have to always be on the run… last night I nearly died…" Kyo winced remembering the incident.
"To kill a vampire is easy… but is very hard when it's at a higher level, yesterday it was an Envy, a level 5 vampire…" Kyo told her.
"Envy? One of the seven sins!"
"Yes, a level 1 is Lust, vampires that use their beauty to get blood, a level 2 is Sloth, vampires that use their brain for blood, a level 3 is Greed, they attack without hesitation, a level 4 is Wrath, their eyes are always red, a level 5 is Envy, they hate happy people or people that's handsome (like me), a level 6 is Gluttony, they draw all your blood and a level 7 is Pride, pure-blooded vampires."
"Oh… so, Pride is the most dangerous?" Ayaka inquired.
"No, Gluttony."
"Eh?" Ayaka's face was blank. "Why?"
"They drink all your blood, Gluttonies kill you. Unlike other vampires, you don't turn into one when bitten by a Gluttony."
"So… so…"
"If I were bitten by a Gluttony, I'd die…" Kyo's face winced. "I was considered lucky."
"You didn't tell Yuya right? About you, being a vampire?"
Kyo shook his head and smirked. "No, she seems too pure to be told such harshness…" Kyo smiled to himself. "And she's stupid…"
Ayaka giggled. "She's not, she's just weirdly dense. She's bright, but it's as if she's purposely trying to overlook the fact that vampires exist, it's as if she's trying to forget about her mother's death…"
"She's never told you about her problems?"
"No, Yuya's a lively girl, but when she's quiet, she'll stay quiet forever…" Ayaka smiled; her eyes faraway. "How sad… Why didn't she tell me about Nozomu?" Her eyes welled up. "I loved Nozomu so much…"
"He's your…?"
"He's my fiancé. We got engaged four years before I went to study…" she wiped her eyes. "I knew something was wrong, he's always writing to me all these years but just a few months before, he stopped. I was worried so… I never thought when I come here; I'd get such a bad news… haha…"
"Well, I'll go find the vampire that's responsible then… but you have to pay me, with your blood…" Kyo licked his lips. "Your blood seems clean, but that woman before was cleaner… and I think her blood's special…"
"But… won't I become a vampire?" Ayaka asked him, wanting to be sure.
Kyo shook his head. "No, you won't, because I'm not using your blood to become stronger… plus… I've never changed anyone into a vampire…"
"So… you've bitten someone though?" Ayaka backed away.
"It's weird but yes, I've bitten quite a few… but it seems that I've been drinking other vampires' blood rather than humans… but too much vampire blood is also bad because… their soul might overwhelm me and thus… turn me into a bad one too…" Kyo closed his eyes and e focused his energy into his left hand. "I've been trying to sense other vampires with this hand but it doesn't work…"
Ayaka closed the drapes. "I'm sorry about before but…" she reached out her wrist. "You can drink mine if you want…"
Kyo slapped her hand away. "No. I've made my peace with no blood during the day…"
Ayaka smiled. "You're weird… but you remind me of Nozomu."
"Hmph… no. I am myself. Get out… I need to rest."
"Whatever…" Ayaka left the room.

"So… that's the 'Eternal Blood' girl? So young… but her blood would be very, very appetizing…" a hooded figure followed the said girl.
Yuya, who was oblivious about the figure, stopped to look at a shop window. "Ah! New novels on vampires! A must have too! Sir Walnut Krueger's!" Yuya's hands stretched out and accidentally got the hooded figure.
The hooded figure fell back. His hood fell to rest on his shoulders. "Oh, curse you!" he scrambled for his cover but the said girl appeared in front of him, kneeling cutely. "Oh…"
"Oh, I'm sorry… sir?"
The un-hooded figure scrambled to get away but Yuya grabbed his covering. The thin cape was torn by the pressure exerted. "Oops!" she let out a squeal.
Startled golden eyes greeted her. "Oh crap!"
