Chapter 2 - It's Not His Fault
Kuroko walked through the prestige Teiko school corridors along with five student council members who were assigned to be his security. Kuroko didn't know what to think of the situation. He merely did what the vampires told him to do, like usual. No matter what he said, or expressed his opinion on a matter, the vampires would simply discard it and do what they pleased. All these years since Kuroko was born, he was treated in such a way. He truly began to feel like an empty object. He couldn't feel any emotions… nobody even expected him to, as long as he carried out his only task in life and that is, give his blood to the vampires. Kuroko was always locked up in a dark room, only to be taken out when it was blood extraction time. However, Kuroko then remembered two people, no vampires… who treated him in some way differently. Kuroko started to see the two as family.
"Kuroko-kun! I brought you a gift today! Where are you!?" a brown haired vampire entered the dark room. He was somewhat tall and in good shape for his age. The vampire looked around the room and sighted.
"Aida-san. Im here" A small teal haired boy appeared from behind the vampire, startling him.
"Whoa! Since when have you been there!?"
"Since I can remember" the small teal haired boy replied with a somewhat empty expression. The vampire looked at the little boy and saw the emptiness in his eyes. There was no life in them, no will or determination to do anything. The vampire only stared and then finally kneeled down to pet the boy on the head.
The vampire patted the little boy of about 5 years of age on the head, with no reaction from the boy. His eyes and expression remained empty. The vampire simply sighted again and started searching for an item in his pocket.
"Here, for you" the tall vampire extended his arm and gave the small boy a very petite round object. The boy looked at the object as his eyes bagan to emit small bits of light from them. A small sign of life in those very empty eyes. The vampire saw the small child's amazement at the object and giggled for a bit. The teal haired boy took his eyes from the small object, onto Kagetora who was giggling trying to hold in his amusement.
"What is the matter Aida-san? and what is this?" the petite boy questioned the giggling vampire. Kagetora finally managed to stop himself from laughing and faced the boy. "haha it's nothing, it's nothing. Im just glad you like my gift. It's a small blue marble. I thought it looked like the colour of your eyes so I decided to give it to you" the vampire noticed the light in the small boy's eyes, which somewhat made him happy. Truth is he wanted to throw the marble away as he found it on a dirty street, but then decided that he would play with the little blood type S human and amuse himself for a while. Kagetora, however, didn't expect the reaction he recieved. Also, what is this strange feeling? He feels happy? The human made him happy? Kagetora was confused.
The teal haired boy returned his gaze onto the small marble which was shinning brightly as the sun shone on it. There was only one very small dungeon window in the entire room. It was so small, that even a boy of Kuroko's size wouldn't be able to get through. The boy was taken aback by this small, no valued object. It may be of no value but in Kuroko's eyes, the small marble was priceless.
"It's so pretty…" Kagetora smiled as he saw the small child smile. He was puzzled by the feeling that kept coming to him back again and again. The feeling of happiness and the feeling of an achievement. What could he possibly achieve? Make the small type S happy? That was surely not his goal. Kagetora just kept pondering over the feelings he never felt towards a human.
The heavy metal doors of the room started to open, startling both Kagetora and little Kuroko. The door opened, revealing a feminine figure. There was a beautiful blond haired vampire, with glasses and revealing clothes. "What~ You're already here Kagetora? Came to check up on little Kuroko before his first blood extraction time?" the blond haired vampire started moving closer to the two who were in the room before her.
Startled, Kagetora immediately took the small marble away from Kuroko and hid it in his pocket again. The small boy was surprised by the action, but also very saddened. Kagetora noticed Kuroko's saddened face, which made him feel horrible about himself, but he had no choice. No vampire was allowed to give Kuroko any gifts or objects. That was the rule of the Vampire council. The boy shall not receive or own anything as he doesn't have any rights to. He's just an object and nothing more so why should we show him any sympathy?
Alex noticed Kagetora's quick suspicious hand movement and started to suspect something. "What's up Kagetora? Hiding something are you?" The blonde came very close to him, their faces almost touching. Kagetora was taken aback, but then again it was nothing unusual for Alex. She had no sense of shame at all.
"Alex, you're too close and Im not hiding anything" Kagetora blushed, being so close to Alex's face. Alex only smirked and kissed the vampire so close to her. Without Kagetora's knowledge, Alex had managed to slip her hand into his pocked and pick the object she was searching for. Once she had gotten what she wanted, she broke the kiss.
"What was that for! I have a wife you know!" Kagetora was taken aback but blushed immensely. Alex only blinked and showed him the object in her hand. She then took out her tongue and put her finger on it. "I didn't know you're such a good kisser. Let's do it again sometime"
"Why you…" Kagetora finally registered the object in Alex's hand. "Return that!" He swung to take the small marble from Alex but failed as Alex moved swiftly, evading his every move. Kuroko only watched the two with his again empty eyes.
"A marble? Could it be? A present for Kuroko?" Alex finally managed to piece the information together and smirked at Kagetora. "haha well someone was naughty"
"Please stop and return that" Kagetora put his hand on his forehead, knowing he had lost the fight. Alex on the other hand examined the marble and looked at it closely. She faced Kuroko and looked through the marble again, seeing his image reflected in the small round object. "Hmmmm it really does look like the colour of your eyes" Alex walked towards Kuroko and knelled down to face the small boy.
"Here. For you" Alex extended her hand and gave Kuroko the marble. Kagetora was taken aback at her action. "What are you doing!? We could be punished for this!" the tall male vampire began to feel frightened. The Vampire council laws were absolute and should one disobey, they would be jailed for life, worst case killed.
"What are you so worried about Kagetora? He likes it, so why shouldn't he keep it? Right Kuroko-kun" Alex smiled at Kuroko and the boy returned it with a nod. Life came back to those once dead eyes again. Kagetora noticed this as well and pondered over what he should do. "Ahhhhh what should we do… quick Alex take it away from him before we still can!"
"Ehhhh no way! Kuroko-kun likes it! He should keep it" the two vampires got into an argument both shouting at each other. Kuroko watched the two when a small smile appeared on his face. The small boy laughed a bit which made the two vampires stop and look at him.
"Aida-san, Alex-san thank you very much. I will treasure this with my life" the small boy smiled, with a smile so bright it melted the heart of the two brute vampires. The two looked at Kuroko with surprisement but soon gave off the feeling of accomplishment and… warmth.
"Aida-san, Alex-san… I wonder if this is what it feels like to have a mama and a papa…" the two vampires were taken by surprise again but smiled widely. This boy was very strange. The two vampires had never encountered a human like him before. They always thought and viewed humans as greedy, despicable creatures with no other use other than their blood. The two would never want to affiliate with them, only if they had to on their missions. However, with Kuroko… they wanted to stay by his side forever.
Heavy steps of about five vampires could be heard outside the dark room. Having heard them, Alex and Kagetora immediately reacted and took the marble away from Kuroko. Alex took the marble and put it in her pocked while Kagetora picked Kuroko up and held him in his arms. The figure of the five vampires finally appeared outside of the door as one of the vampires with a large staff entered the room.
"Alex, Aida, it is time. Take the child to the blood extraction room at once" the Vampire council elder had come personally to pick Kuroko up for his very first blood extraction. He came with four other high ranked council members. Alex and Kagetora both nodded, exiting the dark room with Kuroko, "Yes elder".
The blood extraction room was a very small chamber filled with only one device and that was the blood extraction machine. The machine consisted of a chair and many needled attached to it. It was designed so that a human would be seated onto the chair and then once the machine was switched on, many needles would pierce the human's skin, taking the precious blood from him. Kuroko froze at the sight of the machine and knew he was the one who was going to be put there.
"Nooo! Please nooo! I-I don't want to! P-Please" Kuroko clenched his small fingers on Kagetora's shirt, not letting go. Kagetora noticed the small shaking hands Kuroko was holding him with. Kagetora was filled with feelings of guilt and hopelessness as the elder faced him and the small boy in his arms.
"Aida. Place the boy on the chair" The elder pointed at the machine with his staff as Kagetora began to walk towards it. Kuroko was shaking more and more the closer they got to the machine. "It will be fine. Don't worry" Kagetora whispered in a very low voice into Kuroko's ear. Kuroko was somewhat comforted by these small warm words, but they didn't manage to stop his tears and shaking. Kagetora had placed Kuroko on the machine, with little trouble of needing to get the shaking Kuroko off of him.
As Kagetora has placed Kuroko on the machine, the four other vampires that had come with the elder immediately started tying the small boy to the chair. Tears flew down his eyes as Kuroko's hands, legs and waist was tied down onto the chair. "N-No… p-please"
"Finally, we shall taste the type S blood after all those 1000 years of waiting. Beigin the extraction!" the elder gave his command and the other four vampires were only happy to comply. Kagetora and Alex have closed their eyes as many needles pierced Kuroko's skin and started extracting the blood. Screams of pain were heard through the corridors. Those screams were of an innocent 5 year old boy who did nothing to deserve such a fate.
The five student council members along with Kuroko have finally arrived at the student council office. As he entered the room, Kuroko wasted no time to observe his surroundings. He noticed a very clean shinning table which was at the front of the room. The table was different from the rest and somehow represented power and authority. At the left side of the room, there were two desks and two chairs but Kuroko noticed just how messy these two desks are. Piles of papers were on those two desks which were probably incomplete. Kuroko turned around to the right side and noticed another pair of desks. One desk was very clean and organised but contained a rather large glass frog on it, while the table right next to it had a pile of candy on it. Some where open and some where closed.
Kuroko was amazed even at the slightest detail of the room. Something which didn't go unnoticed by Akashi. "Type S, this is the student council office. You will spend most of your time here along with some other rooms we will show you. We don't have any other desks so you will have to sit on the floor. Im sure you wouldn't mind" Akashi faced Kuroko with a rather commanding gaze. Kuroko gulped and nodded quickly in agreement not to anger the red vampire. The red vampire seemed the most frightening one of them all, a fact Kuroko had to take note of to be beware in the future.
The Miracles each took their seat and started working on papers which were piled up at their desks. Kuroko only stared as the five seemed to ignore him, and sat on the floor, seeing as there is no other place for him to sit on. Kuroko observed the five vampires in their natural working environments. Each and every one of them looked serious and committed to their duties. That is until Kuroko turned to the left side of the room and saw the blond and blue haired vampires dozing off.
"Aomine, Kise. This is no time for a break nanodayo" the green haired vampire said as the purple haired one next to him started making two paper planes and threw them onto the two sleeping vampires. Both woke up immediately as they felt a deadly gaze from the student council presiden't desk.
"S-Sorry Akashicchi, we'll get back to work right away" the blonde vampire said as if automatically not to anger the red haired vampire. Aomine as well did the same "work, work, work!"
Kuroko just observed for now as he sat down on the floor. Nothing interesting happened after this, and the five only wrote and wrote on their documents. Kuroko was bored and began to doze off into the dream world. "Type S. No sleeping is allowed here. Am I clear?" again, those eyes of Akashi's didn't miss anything. Kuroko opened his eyes wide in an instant and looked over to the red haired vampire, "Y-Yes"
About two hours passed and finally the Miracles have finished all of their duties. It is now lunch break as the school bell rang. "Yay! Lunch! Im starving~" Kise spoke up with the realisation that all of the work was now over. Kise quickly evaded his desk and came to Kuroko. "Nee~ Nee~ Kurokocchi let's go eat~ Of course, I wouldn't mind if the lunch was you" Kise moved Kuroko's shirt collar a bit to expose a bit of his neck, and took in the sweet fragrance yet again just like at the assembly.
"Jerk! Stop that" Aomine grabbed Kise from behind and held him up above the ground by the shirt before dropping him back onto the floor. "Aominecchi so mean!" Kise cleaned dust of his pants as he stood up. Kuroko remained seated on the floor, awaiting the next command from Akashi. Kuroko knew from his past life experiences, that it would be wise to wait for commands. He had no freedom or will of his own anyways.
"Type S, you will stay here. I, Ryouta, Shintarou and Atsushi will go bring some lunch. Daiki, you stay here and guard type S, understood?" Akashi gave out his orders to which everyone complied. "Yeah, yeah. I'll stay here so go already" the four vampires left the room and only Aomine and Kuroko remained. Kuroko's eyes followed Aomine's movements as he went back to his messy desk and sat on his chair. Kuroko still remained on the floor and watched Aomine from the ground.
Kuroko was puzzled when Aomine suddenly stood up from his seat, went to check if anyone was at the door and closed it behind him. He then went back to his desk and took some suspicious magazines from his bottom drawer. "Hey type S!" Aomine finally addressed Kuroko, startling him in the process.
"Not a word to anyone about this, got it? It's an order" Aomine's eyes were on Kuroko who was stiff. "Y-Yes" Kuroko replied with confusion as he saw Aomine walk towards him with a magazine in his hand. "hehe I'll show you something good" Aomine sat on the floor next to Kuroko and put a magazine with a woman vampire wearing revealing clothes on the cover, next to Kuroko. Kuroko was puzzled yet he found Aomine interesting.
"Look see! I bet you never saw these before" Aomine started opening the magazine, showing the explicit images of women inside it. Kuroko should feel ashamed but yet he didn't. He only stared at the images with interest. "haha I like you type S! Looks like we have interest in the same type of things" Aomine was glad and smiled at Kuroko.
Kuroko looked at the images intensely and didin't notice Aomine staring at him. "Hey, hey, I didn't know you would be so interested in these" to be honest Aomine was completely taken by surprise. He expected the human to be at least a little ashamed of looking at these images but he wasn't. Aomine kept observing Kuroko before the teal haired spoke. "These people have a similar body to Alex-san. Are they her relatives?" Aomine was puzzled. "Alex who?… Y-You… don't tell me you never saw a woman before!" Aomine had doubts but he had to be sure and confirm. "Women? No.. I have never heard of them but I only saw Alex-san" Kuroko looked back at Aomine who was just stunned.
"I had always thought vampires are just vampires… but.. they are separated into men and… women?" Kuroko looked at Aomine with confusion but yet trying to understand the concept of men and women. Aomine on the other hand couldn't believe what he was hearning.
"Y-You… wait! It actually makes sense. You were locked up so you wouldn't know about these things. I see" Aomine had finally realised what was going on. Of course, Kuroko was the type S human. His entire life so far was spent in a dark little isolated room with very little contact from the outside world. Aomine felt like a fool for not realising sooner. Aomine continued observing the teal haired boy when finally he couldn't hold his hunger anymore. He pushed the sitting Kuroko down completely on the floor and knelt on his knees and hands above him.
"Hey… listen. You're just too much for me, so just let me drink a bit of your blood. It's like a reward for showing you these magazines so… don't resist and don't make noises" Kuroko was somewhat frightened but to some extent he wasn't. He had experienced this many times over and over again. Many incidents like this would happen all the time. There would always be a vampire who couldn't resist his blood. Kuroko managed to attract even the elites of the elite who had total control of their desires and bloodlust. He managed to break every strong willed vampire he had met, and it seems like Aomine is no exception.
Aomine leaned closer to Kuroko's neck, moving his shirt collar as he exposed Kuroko's creamy soft skin. Aomine started to lick Kuroko's neck before a pair of fangs touched Kuroko's skin. Kuroko flinched but was held down by Aomine. Finally Kuroko had no time to react when the pair of fangs pierced his skin. Kuroko felt immense pain as his blood was filling Aomine's mouth. Kuroko moaned but was soon silenced by Aomine who put his hand on Kuroko's mouth, covering it.
Kuroko felt dizziness as Aomine's vampire eyes began to shine bright red. Aomine was taken aback by the sweet fragrance but a part of him was fighting himself. Suddenly, Aomine took out his fangs out of Kuroko's neck and very quickly stood up distancing himself from Kuroko. Aomine was panting as well as Kuroko who was laying down on the floor. "T-The blood… s-so… so sweet. I-I want more… I need all of it… so delicious" the panting Kuroko noticed Aomine's intense red eyes which frightened him. The eyes emitted an image of a beast, a beast with no self control. Kuroko began to be afraid for his life when he started shaking on the floor.
Aomine got closer to Kuroko, closer and closer until he was standing just before him. Kuroko was afraid of what Aomine was about to do, drink his blood again? Kill him? Kuroko understood that this could be the end of his life. Looking deeply into Aomine's eyes, Kuroko saw something he didin't expect and that is fear. Aomine feared something, but Kuroko was confused at what it was.
As the two stared deeply into each others eyes, Aomine was the first one to break eye contact when he suddenly ran out of the room like a mad man. Kuroko was left alone, shaking on the cold floor. He was processing the events that had just occurred, and Kuroko was just thankful for his life. His life would not end, at least for now.
"haha what a cute little lamb we have here" a voice suddenly spoke up from behind Kuroko. Kuroko was startled but couldn't manage to turn around to see the identity of the person as he was holding Kuroko still with immense force. Kuroko's shaking increased again with the unknown individual behind him.
"There's no need to be afraid little lamb. I just came by to say hi, nothing else. Oh my~" the unknown vampire noticed bite marks on Kuroko's neck and the small drops of blood left by Aomine. The mysterious vampire moved his head downwards and licked the remains of Kuroko's blood. Kuroko only shivered as he felt the vampire's tongue lick his skin.
"Hmmmm~ So delicious~ You really do have delicious blood just as the rumours and legends say. Even your scent is irresistible" after licking Kuroko's blood, the vampire put his head on Kuroko's shoulder inhaling the sweet fragrance.
The vampire behind Kuroko flinched as footsteps could be heard from the corridors. "Ahhh~ What a shame~ I wanted to spend some more time with you but it seems Im out of time. Remember this little lamb~ The spider is watching you" Kuroko suddenly felt the hands holding him disappear out of thin air. He turned around and saw no one there.
The footsteps outside became louder and louder until the doors of the room were opened. From the door, the four student council members emerged, with Akashi in the front. Akashi was surprised to find that Kuroko was alone in the room, with Aomine nowhere to be seen. "Type S, where is Daiki?" the absolute leader faced Kuroko who was still on the floor shocked and frightened.
"Didn't you hear me? Where is Daiki? What happened here?" Akashi didn't like to be kept waiting and Kuroko surely didn't want to anger him. "A-Aomine-kun went to the bathroom. He said he would be back soon" Kuroko had lied and hoped Akashi wouldn't see through him. He was surprised by himself as well. Why would he defend a vampire that attacked him? Kuroko remembered fear but the one thing he remembered the most was the fear in Aomine's eyes. He couldn't forget it and was puzzled by it. Kuroko felt sympathy for Aomine, for all the pain he might feel right now.
Akashi continued his observation of Kuroko. He noticed the small shaking and the unbuttoned collar on Kuroko's shirt. Akashi knew right away of what had happened, and oh would Aomine be in trouble later. Akashi smirked and headed for his desk, taking a seat. "Let's have lunch. I am sure Daiki will return once he has calmed down"
"B-But…"
"Didn't I make myself clear type S? We will have lunch now and I will personally deal with Daiki later during the day. I am sure this is nothing new to you. Though I must say I am a bit troubled" Akashi started unpacking a small sandwich with a bottle of red liquid labeled "Type AB" on it. Kuroko knew what the bottle contained, blood. Blood of type AB. Akashi noticed Kuroko's interest in the bottle, "This is blood type AB. Out of the four blood type groups I prefer AB the most, however, I wouldn't mind having your blood for lunch either" Akashi smirked as Kuroko flinched.
"Akashicchi are you sure? It looks like Aominecchi totally lost control and overdid it" Kise was somewhat troubled but still made his way to his messy desk which was next to Aomine's. Kise then noticed an open drawer at the bottom of Aomine's desk. "Ah! Aominecchi's secret drawer! It's open! Akashicchi this is a state of emergency!" Kise pointed to the empty drawer as Akashi and the other two vampires sighted.
"Kise, calm down nanodayo. That idiot deserved what he got. Anyway, who hides such magazines in a drawer? Someone is bound to see them sooner or later" Kise was startled by Midorima's response and saw Akashi and Murasakiabara smirking as well.
"Don't tell me you know about these magazines? It was supposed to be well hidden!"
"Hmmm~ They were easy to find~" Murasakibara ate one of his chips with a content expression.
"Mean!" Kise cleaned the pile of magazines and put them back in Aomine's drawer. He noticed that one was next to Kuroko. "Hmmm~ Kurokocchi did you read them too? haha" Kise took the magazine next to Kuroko and put it back in the drawer as well. He looked back at Akashi who seemed satisfied now that they left his sight.
The doors of the room opened revealing a panting Aomine. "Akashi, I can explain everything. Just let me-"
"Daiki. With or without your explanation I already know of the events which unfolded here. I will make sure to punish you later" Aomine only gulped and looked at Akashi with fear. He then faced Kuroko with guilt in his eyes. Kuroko knew Aomine felt terrible about what had happened, Aomine looked really disappointed in himself. As if he had lost a high status of something he prided himself on. Kuroko didn't say a word and remained seated on the floor.
After the Miracles ate lunch, and Kuroko who had a small sandwich were all done. Akashi stood up and headed towards Kuroko. "Type S, we will now show you to the dorm where you will stay with us. The 6 of us will be sharing a room so you will be under our supervision at all times. Understood?" Kuroko nodded right away making Akashi smirk. "Shall we go?" Akashi lead the group as they exited the student council room and headed to the boys dorm.
Somewhere in an empty room, there was a dark figure sitting in the shadows playing with a chessboard. Three other figures appeared before the vampire and sat on the couches beside him. "We sent him a greeting boss. Everything should be ready now"
The vampire smirked as he moved his chessboard piece. "Good, very good. Soon the type S blood will be ours for the taking. We will show them our power and take our rightful place! Nobody can stop us now~ haha!"
