Author's Note: This does not follow the manga completely, but since its not an AU, it shares similar points to it. Rather, I'd like to imagine this a point where Mika and the Shinoa Squad can meet in peace.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

"Everyone!" Yuuichiro's voice rang loud in everyone's head. Even though exhausted, one by one each of them turned around to see their comrade run to their direction with a smile on his face - and a certain blond tagging along hesitantly behind him.
Also, that blond happens to be a vampire.

"Yuu-kun...?" Yoichi was the first to notice. "Yuu-kun, Yuu-kun!" he jumped up, delighted even though he had wounds, and threw himself onto his friend just like the days when they first met. Except this time, Yuuichiro wasn't the one to complain - Mikaela, who was behind him, let out a sound 'tch'.

After that, each and every member of the team also stood and met up with their returning comrade. All, of course, except Shinoa, who remained seated, dazed. Yuuichiro has returned; with his vampire friend, nonetheless, which meant her decision to trust him was right after all.
Having that burden off her chest, she let out a huge sigh of relief and laughed.

"Hey! What are you laughing by yourself there for!?" Mitsuba cried out. Shinoa brushed it off and stood up, walking towards the crowd - past her teammates, past Yuichiro - and straight up to Mikaela, who was silent the whole while.

"You're Yuichiro's friend, Mikaela, right?" she grinned. Mikaela narrowed his eyes and looked away without a response. Shinoa wasn't bothered by it, however, she adjusted herself according to where his eyes went.
"Come on~" she said, a playful tone in her voice. "Yuuichiro said we were his family. And if we are his family, and you too, that means we're both family."

"Shut up, human." Mikaela finally said, annoyed. Shinoa took a few steps back and gasped.

"Oh my, his first words!" she exclaimed, with slight sarcasm in her voice.

"Shut up or I'll kill you."
"You wouldn't dare to remove someone as cute as I am from the Earth, would you?
"And if I said I would?"

As the two continued their endless babbles, the others were watching from the side, amused from the scene. Every single one of them were trying their best to hold back their laughter especially Yuichiro.

"You guys get along, don't you?" Yuichiro stepped in, breaking them. Mikaela glared at him with a gigantic 'No!' written on his face, but Shinoa just remained Shinoa.

"Why of course! We're practically best friends already!" she nudged at Mikaela, which made him slightly angry, but he decided to let it go just once more because he didn't want to anger Yuichiro.

Yuichiro smirked and looked at his best friend. 'She's got you good, eh?' - was that kind of look he sent. Mikaela just looked away, defeated even by his friend.

"Alright everyone," Shinoa broke away from the two and started, "Since we can't exactly return to base or have any more specific orders to make move anywhere, we shall stay here, as apparent as the reports states, vampire activity seems to be low here - of course, if we exclude you, Mika-san."

That's it. Mikaela was ticked. He won't let her have the last laugh, not like this. Not when he had just reunited with his precious Yuu-chan.

But before he could say or do anything, he felt a hand in his shoulder. "She sure does like you, doesn't she?" he grinned like a 10-year-old would. Seeing that, Mikaela calmed down and looked away.
"I wonder..." he muttered under his breath as he watched the team group and discuss on their current situation.

"Come on!" Yuichiro invitingly pulled Mikaela along with him to his circle of friends, all laughing away.

Author's Note (Again): Short, I know, but I wanted to break it into prologue and main type of story, so bear with me here.

I should probably explain the whole MikaYuu x YuuNoa thing; let's just say, it involves both and none at the same time. That's all I could say at the moment, because I don't want to spoil the fun C:

Tell me what you think of the prologue! Thank you for reading!

(And yes, this was posted on my Wattpad months ago).
