Finally another chapter. Alas, it's the last one. Thankyou very much for reading and following that fic, I'm really glad you liked it.
Enjoy ^^
The door of the cell where Kureto was standing was opened. The soldier saw a blond-haired woman enter. The eldest of the Hiiragi was pale, hungry, and thirsty. Mikaela stared at him for a moment.
« So here's the leader of these wild mad humans. » she said.
« And you are ? »
« Mikaela Iiula Lavinius. More commonly known as the first genitor. Enchanted. »
The last word was pronounced with a smile revealing her fangs. Kureto's eyes widened. The first vampire, in flesh and blood before him. But what the hell did she want ?
« Did you ordered the creation of the seraph of the end ? » resumed the vampire.
« Yes. To give back the world to men. » said Kureto, in his thirsty voice.
The door opened at that moment. Yuuichiro paused as he discovered the blonde. The young boy carried a tray filled with food and water. Mikaela motioned for him to enter. Yuu obeyed and came to lay his tray next to the prisoner. He began by giving him a drink.
« To give back the world to men, you say. I recognize your pride there : the world does not belong to you. It belong to everyone and no one at a time. Besides, you are solely responsible for its present state. » resumed Mikaela.
Yuu put down the glass of water, then picked the plate up, garnished with meat and vegetables, accompanied by a sauce.
« Whatever, we will take it back. » replied Kureto.
« I doubt it. I'll take care of your bastion. It should only take me a few minutes to raze it. » said Mikaela, codly.
« Lady Mikaela, would it bother you that I accompany you ? There are humans that I want to recover. » said Yuu.
« Hmm ? For your personal consumption I suppose. Well, why not ? Consider this as your reward for services rendered. » she agreed.
« I thank you very much. »
« On my return we will settle the case of this human and the seraph. »
« I finish giving him his meal and I follow you. » informed Yuu.
Mikaela accepted and went out. Kureto felt his throat tangle. It was the end. Shibuya was going to fall. He couldn't believe it, there were still many humans carrying demonic weapons. But considering how hard it was when they faced the nobles in Nagoya, he dared not imagine what it would be with the most powerful of them. Yuuichiro looked at him while he was plunged into his thoughts. The human seemed no longer to be hungry, so he rested the spoon. After awaiting any reaction, the little vampire ends up taking the tray, with his half-eaten plate. So much for him : he had play the idiot, he was going to assume now. The prince got rid of the cutlery, then rejoined Mikaela. She was studying a map when he joined her. The blonde then enjoined him to climb on his back, explaining that she ensured the transport.
And what a transport ! Mikaela was running at such speed that she would probably be able to heel a sports car. The journey should not be long. When Yuuichiro's sight was again able to discern the landscape correctly, he realized that the human fortress was in sight. The building was impressive.
« Lady Mikaela, can I suggest killing only those wearing a uniform ? The rest can serve us food. » he said.
« I was indeed thinking about it. Good, let's go. »
The soldiers on duty did not have time to understand what was going on. A rumble evoking an earthquake resounded. The large metal door gondolated, before being torn like paper. But nothing seemed to come in.
« Over here ! » said Mikaela, in the air.
The soldier below just had time to display fear. She and Yuuichiro decimated the guards. An alarm resounded in the air. Yuu clenched his teeth : they were spotted. A little too early to his liking. The young vampire resolved to let his elder advance in the front line. Dozens of soldiers came to meet her. Mikaela raised her arm. This gesture reminded Krul : the shock wave that followed sharply and simply cut the humans from the middle.
Mikaela progressed in the base. Thanks to his small size and his agility, Yuichiro remained discreet and managed to get rid of his opponents without much trouble. The 1st genitor performed most of the work. Suddenly, Yuu saw a silhouette that he recognized. A dark-haired man armed with a black sword, accompanied by a troop of familiar humans too. Yuu rushed towards him. Guren suddenly found himself on his back, and his teammates watched him spin face up to the sky.
« ? »
The lieutenant-colonel was deposed further on. He suddenly found himself nose-to-nose with a red-eyed child. The kid from Nagoya, Guren saw him perched on the shoulders of the vampire with red hair. Immediately the lieutenant-colonel launched his saber, which Yuu blocked with three fingers and a sigh.
« Calm yourself you clown ! Can't you see that I'm here to save your butt ? » he said.
« What ? »
« Guren ! » called Mito.
She rushed at the little vampire. The latter blocked his kick before pulling her and dropping her. He then made a salto to dodge the kunais of Shigure.
« Calm down fucking goddamnit ! Now isn't the time to play ! » exclaimed Yuu.
Guren stared at the vampire. Why the hell did he say he saved his life ? Reflection made, he was just content to take him elsewhere. Elsewhere ... far from his congeners. But … why ?
« WOOPS ! » made Yuuichiro, barely avoiding one of Shinya's tigers.
The humans were facing him. Yuu felt in a critical position. He was there for the Hyakuyas before all, he didn't have time to handle the adults. He had to find Mika and Akane's family before Mikaela discover them.
« STOP ! » suddenly shouted Guren.
His comrades gave him a brief glance. The man looked at Yuu.
« Why … why did you say you saved my life ? » he asked.
« According to you ? Didn't you see my colleague ? That's Mikaela, the 1st progenitor. And she's here to do some cleaning. You don't have the shadow of the beginning of an embryo of a sketch of chance in front of her. I know you raised Mika, he probably will not be happy to know that you ended up in a soldier tartar. » answered Yuu, showing the direction where Mikaela was.
« The … the first progenitor ? » breathed Goshi.
« Yup. So for once, be smart and stay away. On this, I have to do. » concluded Yuu.
« What ? You think we're gonna sit there and do nothing while she's killing everybody ? » protested Mito.
« She will only kill uniformers like you. And given that my father has soundly defeated you something cute, whereas he is only a 13th genitor, imagine the result with the first one.» retorted Yuu.
The soldiers clenched their teeth at this truth. Yuuichiro turned his back on them without further ado and went back to where his vampire sister was. Guren took an inspiration. What to do ? Never had such a powerful opponent entered here. After the Nagoya events, Ichinose could not ask for help from his team. They were united only by a military reflex. He looked in the direction of Yuu's departure. This vampire was weird. He remembered his behavior in Nagoya. The way he had dismissed Mika from the clash with Crowley. He had been the only one thinking of giving him water. And now he had taken him away from danger.
Meanwhile, Yuu sneaked out among the corpses and civilians in panic. The latters petrified and sreamed when they saw him. But the prince did not care. He turned his head in every direction : where were they ? The young vampire leapt on a metal railing in order to have a view in height. Finally, he resumed his route. Half an hour later, a blue hair caught his eye. The vampire skewed. He suddenly landed in front of a girl.
« Hi Yuki. » he smiled.
« Yuuichiro ? » responded the teen with blue hair and glasses.
« Himself. I came to look for all of you. I'll bring you back to Mika and Akane. » he announced, giving his hand.
Yuki stared at him for a moment, before putting her hand in his. They smiled before the prince dragged her. Yuki pointed out the possible locations of others. Yuu carried her over the crowd. It was how Guren saw them pass : the vampire depositing Yuki then holding her by the hand. They found one of Mika's brothers, Taichi, who also followed them.
« That was it. He came to fetch them. » understood Guren.
The reason for this behavior still eluded him. Since when did a vampire care about humans ? He had spent four years with the Hyakuya, remembered the dark-haired man. Four years in which attachment had to be formed, so he would react that way. Still, it was curious. Mikaela, on her side, continued her genocide. As agreed, only the soldiers perished from her hand. Two of the nine cadres of the Hiiragi came to meet her. The fight could get tough, however ... they fell like the previous ones. Guren looked at them without feeling any remorse. If she could eradicate the Hiiragi family it suited him.
« Yuu, what's happening ? » he heard.
« It happen that you get out of here. »
The young dark-haired vampire had gathered all the Hyakuyas and was taking them outside. Suddenly the rubies clung to the amethysts. For a moment, the human and the vampire stared at each other.
« Lieutenant-colonel ! Come with us ! » exclaimed Yuki.
« … »
But the officer did not seem to want to move.
« Yuu, I beg you go fetch him ! » asked Yuki.
The prince sighed, then in the second he disappeared. Guren did not have time to react that he felt carried away.
« Let go of me ! I didn't ask anything ! » exclaimed Guren.
Shinya saw his teammate pass by at arm's lenght by the little vampire, who put him down next to Yuki.
« Major Shinya come ! » called Taichi.
Guren, who was struggling, got knocked out by Yuichiro.
« But … »
« COME ON ! » exclaimed Yuki and Taichi.
« Go ! Save yourselves ! » answered Shinya with a gesture of the arm.
The two teenagers turned to Yuu.
« Oh you must be joking here ! I won't go to fetch all of them ! » protested the vampire.
« Nuuuh ! »
« Gaaah fuck ! »
Finally, Yuu arrived near the major. He put two fingers in his mouth, and whistled to the rest of the squad. In doing so, he tilted Shinya on his belly, lifting him with his hands.
« Come and get your friend, if you want to prevent me from turning it into a prune ! » said Yuu.
« Shinya-sama ! » exclaimed Goshi and Mito.
« And I also caught the other one there, with his black toothpick. » informed courteously Yuuichiro.
« Guren-sama ! » added two feminine voices.
« Bye losers ! »
And the prince escaped. As expected, the rest of the adults rushed after him.
Meanwhile, the Hyakuya family lugged Guren out as best they could, at the moment when Yuuichiro joined them whistling. Shinya was not dissatisfied with being back on the ground, he was beginning to feel sick.
« Take care of the others, I'll handle the marmot. » asked Yuu.
Each teenagers seized an adult and pulled them by the wrist, while their vampire friend lifted Guren and carried him in his arms.
« So ? » he said, looking back.
The teens were battling to take the adults with them. Yuu narrowed his eyes. They won't get away very fast at this rate. He sighed.
« Woo-hoo ! » he shouted.
When everyone looked at him, he planted his fangs in Guren's neck. This offended of course the two attendants of the man, who rushed. Yuu leapt up with a childish laugh. He found himself again near Shinya, who pulled out his rifle. The prince threw Guren unconscious on his opponent. Once the major on the floor, Yuu had only to seize the men each by an ankle and fled quite fast. And of course, the rest of the adults rushed after him. Shinya, however, was not willing to be dragged along. He drew again. Yuu felt it, and he raised the leg of the human that he erected as a shield. And considering his corpulence, it was enough to hide him. The Hyakuyas, fortunately, came as reinforcements. They took the Major, whom they lifted and carried off. Yuu took charge of Guren.
« Will you let me go already ! » exclaimed Shinya.
« SHUT UP ! »
The rest of the group caught up with the youngsters, who ran with their burden, which was soon to be green. Finally, they came out of the base. However, everything was not settled and humans began to quarrel, between those who wanted to go inside and those who wanted to get out. Yuu watched the whole circus for a brief moment. Eventually in desperation he knocked out all the adults.
« There ! Silence we said. »
« And how are we going to carry them now ? » asked Taichi.
« With one of their vehicles. » answered Yuu.
« But we don't know how to drive ! » objected Yuki.
« I know the principle. Come on, quick before they wake up and annoy the hell of us. »
It was Taichi who accompanied Yuuichiro. They found the vehicles in the shed nearby, with the keys in the driver's side sunshade. Taichi followed Yuu's instructions. Contact, first gear and let's go. The vampire told him to go gently with the pedals. The big jeep came out of the hangar and then from the base. Yuu stuffed the adults higgledy-piggledy in the trunk, and closed it by leaving an opening held by his belt attached to a side bar. They would have air. He then flew passenger side continue to guide his friend. Just when an explosion sounds in the base.
Mikaela held Tenri by the neck. The old man's sword was broken. She squeezed hard, and strangled him before letting him fall to the ground. Having done this, all she had to do was to look after the humans. Yuu had found his own and get them out. The vampire unearthed the frightened groups of civilians, and ordered them to assemble in the courtyard. Some tried to escape. She caught them and threw them into the crowd that received them, and collapsed with them. Mikaela then dug a wide, deep circular fault around the humans, raising her arm. The flock was now in its enclosure. Yuu would warn other vampires, she only had to wait.
In fact, the convoy arrived not far from Sanguinem two hours later. The prince had handle the Horseman of the Apocalypse on the way. In the trunk, the adults demanded to go out. They were of course totally ignored. In front of the gates of the capital, Yuu went out first and walked to the back.
« Let us out ! » said Mito
« Say, in shut the hell up what is it you don't get ? » interrogated Yuu, looking at them.
He was entitled to a bang of insults instead. Yuu then unfastened his belt and let the chest close again.
« Well played Mito, really ! » commented Goshi.
Yuu ordered the Hyakuyas to stay there while he went to get Akane. He ran to where his friend had told him to take refuge with the others. Besides, the young vampire heard him coming. Yuu stopped in front of her.
« They're here. » he said without preamble.
« MIKA ! » yelled Akane.
The blonde rolled away, followed by the others. The girl smiled, and announced that their family had arrived. Naturally, Yuu preceeded them. He let them meet while he returned to Sanguinem. Mika then opened the trunk of the jeep to discover the rest of the guests. He chuckled as he saw them piled up. He helped them out. Guren's squad was nevertheless happy to find them. Naturally, Mito scolded the Hyakuyas for the way they treated them. The interested parties rolled their eyes.
« But we just saved your lives, what more do you need ? » replied Yuki.
« And we didn't asked for anything ! Because of you, many innocent people must have died ! » retorted the ginger.
« What happened ? » asked Mika.
It was Shinya who told him. Thus, the 1st vampire had attacked Shibuya. Yuu had taken advantage of the conflict to keep his word. The blond did not know what to think. Certainly all the family and friends were gathered, but the others ... Yuuichiro should be asked about this. The latter had just found his mother and brought everything back to him. Krul immediately ordered the sending of troops to Shibuya to seek the rest of the humans. The prince returned and went to alert the others to leave the camp.
« Yuu wait ! » interpellated Mika.
« Not now ! Just leave and quickly. »
Akane dragged his brother, and the military plus the civilians spun, piled up in the jeep.
Mikaela saw a troop of her fellows arriving with satisfaction. The vampires seized the humans. The vampire returned to the capital. There she found the vampire family, all three in the throne room.
« Did you find your humans Yuu ? » she asked.
« Yes of course. »
« Good. Now let's handle the human and the seraph. »
Kureto was then taken out of his cell and brought before the queen of the vampires of Japan. Mikaela sat on her right, and Yuu on her left.
« Your city has just fallen, human. We haved recovered the civilians and wiped out your army. It is now time for you to answer for your crimes. » announced Krul.
Kureto clenched his teeth. The sovereign had thought of integrating him into the rest of the herd, but Crowley had wisely expressed the hypothesis that he could exhort others to rebellion. So ... death penalty that would be.
« Do you want to restore yourself from this human Mikaela ? » questionned Krul.
« I'm never against a good drink. Let's share him, so everyone will be happy. » said Mikaela.
« So be it. Bring him to the collection room. » ordered Krul.
Kureto struggled, but was easily maintained by the vampires. Mikaela got up and announced that she would go to the seraph to begin her work. Yuuichiro, for his part, returned to see his friends. The group of young people greeted him with happiness, and invited him to sit around a fire, sitting on tree trunks.
« I do not know how to thank you for having returned my family Yuu. » said Mika.
« It's nothing. Try to watch the big idiots behind. » responded the vampire.
« Yeah, that should keep us busy, huh. » said one of the youngest.
Akane then asked for the rest of the news. Yuu told them that the humans would be divided between Sanguinem and Nagoya. This news did not really appeal to young soldiers. Then he told them of the fate of Kureto. This last point interpellated the adults who asked for details. Yuuichiro concealed nothing from them, not even the sentence which had just been administered to him. He then proceeded to the other important subject, without waiting for their opinion.
« My sister is going to be normal again ? » exclaimed Kimizuki, smiling.
« In principle yes, but don't get carried away yet. Mikaela is working on it. Just know that it will take time. » said Yuu.
« And what about us ? What now ? » asked Narumi.
« Stay where you are. I am going to demand the management of this small village, that should prevent you from being picked. By cons, I warn you right away I would limit the number of humans allowed to live here. »
A limit which reason was soon understood : too much human could harm, and cause a revolt. But the Hyakuyas were confident : they knew the little one and knew that he would let them live in peace. They just need to convince the others. When his task was completed, Yuuichiro returned to his home. Several days passed. Yuu had obtained as he wished the charge of the village where the whole group dwelt. He would come every day to make sure that things were going well. Guren's squad tried to get use to this new life. They were not happy with the outcome. Humanity remained prisoner of vampires, it had lost the war. On the other hand, they were well off. Yuuichiro left them free of their movements, they were not confined in the basement and could cultivate and raise their food. The Hyakuya family managed the village and watched the adults, then reporting to the prince of the vampires during his inspection.
« They still seem grumpy. » noticed Yuu about the adults.
« Yeah but don't worry, they know you saved them. They still need a little time, that's all. » responded Mika.
« I hope, but do not relax your vigilance. »
« And how is doing my sister ? » asked Shiho.
« Her healing is progressing well. Mikaela works there day and night. » informed Yuu.
« Very well. »
A silence fell, everyone meditating on the present situation. The humans one was not perfect, but it could have been much worse. Yuuichiro finally returns home. There he found great agitation. On a space in front of the palace, he discovered that soldiers were trying to keep a captive. The latter suddenly straightened up, expelling the vampires. Yuu discovered an unknown face.
« Who is it ? Oh wait : could it be this famous Saito by any chance ? » thought Yuu.
This would explain his enthusiasm for remaining among his own. The prince turned his head slightly. She was coming. Mikaela rushed at the traitor and tore his head away. The latter flew to land at the feet of the prince who looked at him with a certain indifference.
« Hello. Welcome to Sanguinem. » he said.
« Too lovely, young man. » responded the head.
Mikaela was above him, preparing to crush his head under her foot when suddenly, the latter rolled in the opposite direction. Yuu discovered that a chain connected her to her body. Saitou got up a little later, and triggered a shock wave that overturned most of the vampires.
« WARF ! » breathed Yuu.
He was stopped on the way by a powerful grip.
« Ah, thank you Fid. » he said.
« Don't mention it, but don't stay here. » answered the noble, looking in front of him.
Saito. The man who had condemned him to this eternal boredom. They had succeeded in capturing him. However, the vampire had undergone some experiments that complicated the task. The latter noticed Ferid, and appeared before him.
« My dear Ferid, I thought I had entrusted you with a mission. Can you tell me, let's say, what the fuck have you done ? »
Ferid looked at him a moment.
« Nothing. I won't do anything for you Saitou, it's over. » he said.
The former 2nd genitor showed surprise. He had, of course, watched the progress of his plan from the shadows, and had been fully satisfied so far. What could have led his main instrument to rebel ?
« Oh really. And may I even know why ? »
« I found way better than you to follow. »
On this, Bathory departed, taking Yuuichiro with him. Mikaela missed Saitou. The experiences of the latter enabled him to compensate for the imbalance between generations of vampires. Saitou noticed the presence of the vampire child, which Ferid dragged towards the palace. He then launched a chain that captured the prince and snatched it from Ferid's right arm.
« Yuu ! »
Saito brought him back, observing him.
« Hmmm. Then it would be you. You who managed to divert Ferid from the path I had traced for him. » he said.
« Do I ask you something you old piece of meat ? » retorted Yuu.
The chains tightened him brutally.
« Saito ! Leave him alone and come explain yourself with me ! » said Ferid.
« I don't think so. He's an hindrance. I'll free you from it. » decided the GMO vampire.
Suddenly, Ferid felt two currents of air. A shock wave cut the chain maintaining Yuuichiro, while a form tinted of rose pushed Saito away. Or rather, the latter dodged leaping back.
« Don't touch my son, vermin. » hissed Krul, her face displaying a murderous expression.
Crowley, sword in hand, recovered his son with his free arm. Chess Belle and Horn Skuld positioned themselves, weapon in hand. The renegade vampire thus saw the gathering of the entire family of the prince, including Ferid, as well as Mikaela. Yuu was positioned behind his father. Saito smiled : the fight promised to be interesting. Eusford, for his part, observed the adversary. Here he is, to whom Ferid had taken blood to transform him. At last he met him. Too bad he tried to hurt Yuu. The vampires attacked all at the same time. Saito's body became a smoke, and his chains seized each of the adversaries. The nobles succeeded in pushing them away for a moment, before the vampire caused a new wave of shock that sent them to the ground excepted Mikaela.
This one had jumped to pass over the attack. It was thus that she succeeded in seizing her enemy and snatched his arms.
« It's useless Mikaela! You can not kill me, I'm no longer as vulnerable as a vampire ! » exclaimed Saito with a smile.
« Ah ? And if I turn you into a mush you think you'll survive it ? » she replied.
The vampire recovered his arms. The fight between them was so vivid that it was almost invisible, even for vampires. In the meantime, he was undermining the capital, not yet recovered from its visit of humans.
« We have to stop him, but he's a little too strong for us. » said Crowley.
« I have an idea ! Follow me ! » said Ferid.
He went to the corner where Mirai was still held. The latter had lost a pair of wings. Her face was still inexpressive. Bathory had recovered a vial which he uncorked.
« What do you have in mind ? » asked Krul.
« Seraph's blood should be enough to immobilize him. It is toxic to vampires. We'll just have to kill him then. » informed Bathory.
« And how are you going to administer it to him ? » questionned Crowley.
« You'll made a diversion, I'll do it. »
Krul and Crowley exchanged a glance before nodding. The trio returned to the scene of the confrontation. Saito held out against Mikaela. But what petrified the group was that he had captured Yuuichiro. He held the little vampire by the neck, one meter high, near a ray of sunshine. He had removed the sun protection from the prince. Mikaela hesitated : this little boy was very nice. Yet she could not let this traitor get away so easily.
Saito noticed the presence of the others, and challenged them to approach, bringing Yuu closer to the sun.
« If you want to kill me that badly, then just do it ! » said Ferid.
« But I'm counting on it : I just want to punish you for your disobedience before. »
Yuu was beginning to feel the heat of the sun behind. The adult clenched his neck so strongly that his vision became blurred. He calmed down. He knew what he had to do, no need of his eyes for that. When he was sufficiently master of him, the prince proceeded to action. He broke his opponent's elbow and then tore it off. Once on the ground, the brunette immediately left the light. The rest of the vampires took advantage of it to go on the attack. While Krul, Crowley and Mikaela were attacking at the same time, Ferid tried to sneak. He finally arrived behind Saito. Krul and Crowley grabbed his arms at the same time. Bathory took out a syringe filled with seraph blood and injected it into the neck.
Quickly, the traitor felt his body slow down. A little as if he were suddenly numb. He was no longer quite a vampire, but there was still something left. Mikaela took the opportunity to blow his head. Crowley snatched his arm as Krul pushed her fist into the rib cage. Mikaela broke the chain connecting the head to Saito's body, then threw it into the light.
« It won't suffice. » he said with a sarcarstic smile.
« Oh no ? Then what about this ? » said Ferid, behind.
The noble held a flaming torch. A thin stick of wood wrapped in cloth taken from his clothes, and lit by rubbing the blade of his sword against the stone. Saitou's eyes widened as the fire approached. He could not hold back a cry of rage as Ferid raised his foot and crushed his head before igniting it. He then did the same for the body. Finally, the old vampire went into ashes.
« Our scores are settled. » concluded Mikaela.
She turned her back and went away. Yuu approached his mother who hugged him, and returned him hids anti-sun bracelet. Crowley also offered a hug to his son. Then the latter went to Ferid, who extinguished his torch. The nobleman smiled back at the little vampire before receiving an embrace. Same to Chess Belle and Horn Skuld.
A few days later, Mirai was handed over to his big brother, who shed tears of emotion. He thanked Yuuichiro with a nod that the prince replied. He greeted the others before returning home. On the way he caught sight of Guren's squad. The vampire and the group stared at each other for a moment. Finally, Shinya gave him a slight nod, to which the prince replied with a slight smile. For his part, Ferid lay down on a sofa, pensive. Now that Saito was gone and his plan too, what was he going to do ? It was at this point of his thoughts when a boil of a child appeared above him. Ferid smiled for the first time with warmth.
He was going to paint, with the only being in the world capable of bringing him a semblance of joy.
