Chapter 6: his sacrifice for his beloved family

There was a commotion at a mansion in the woods. The owner of the mansion was isolating itself. But, there were some mansion at the woods. It was close to Usui and Yuki's mansion.

"So, you think you could escaped? This is my mansion. The security is tight, so you can't escape" a woman was facing a certain man.

"You can't kill my niece. She's important to us vampire. I know that you only think about the pride of the pure bloods and our safety, but please don't kill Misaki. And if you kill Yuki, it will affect all of the humans and vampires who currently cooperating with us"

"She's getting in our way. And there's no other choice but to kill Misaki-san. Listen to me, each head of the family has agree to kill Misaki-san and there are some people who doesn't like your family because they're humans and they feel humiliated by it. She will kill both humans and vampires if we let her live. Yuki is interfering and you know that we can't let people protecting her".

"No... You don't have a family so you never know how painful it is to lose them". He glared at her. "I never intend to have a family. I don't need them" she declared. A knocking sound was heard and her subordinate entered the room. "Um, excuse me, Shitzu-sama. The assassin's execution, do you want to start it now?" He asked with hesitation while entering the heavy atmosphere that came from them. "Wait! I'll take that part, too. Execute me, too!" He spoke.

"What?! Don't be insane! Who's going to take your place? You're important to this organization! Those assassins have failed us, so they have no use to us. But you still have a role" She yelled.

"My daughter will. So, you don't have to kill them. Besides, if you kill them, who will lead Ayuzawa and Tennos family in the future? Anyway, I already broke the rule about protecting Misaki and whoever broke this rule, should be executed, right?"

"Why did you have to go that far? She hates you, remember? You can't waste your life just for that" She didn't agree to his decision and kept trying to convince him. "A father will do anything for their children and family. Even vampires also feel this way. You already lose something important to you that you don't feel any of this anymore" he walked outside to face his death. "What is this "something" that I lose?" She immediately asked him before she never see him again.

"Feelings" he walked away.

Having her feelings gone for a long time, she can't feel any love or heart-warming feelings. The feelings she once have has already gone. "Hmph! I don't need that to lead this organization".

...

"Minako, I'm sorry. I already fulfilled my promise" his inner mind spoke while walking to the execution room.

At Seika high school

What happen that day at the amusement park was already become the hot topic for the entire city and neighboring city, including people at Seika. It was rather mystery for them about the sudden kill at that place. No evidence, no clue, no suspect. It was like a sudden kill. But, for Misaki, Usui, and Yuki that's not a mystery since they the only survivors there.

"Yuki, what's wrong?" Usui said while closing his face to her to see her. She jumped from her chair and said "U-Usui! You startled me! What do you mean what's wrong? I'm completely fine". "No you're not. You can't fool me. You've been spacing out and suddenly, your expression changed. Like you were surprised about something" he said while walking close to her.

"N-no, it's nothing" she hid her face.

"Hmm...?" His face became closer to her and stare at her. His stare made her blushed a bit.

"O-okay! You don't have to act like this to make me open my mouth, you know". She wanted to say what's in her thought, but she couldn't when she saw Usui raised his eyebrows as if he's surprised about something. "W-what are you looking at?".

"It's-it's nothing" he hid his blushing face by closing it with his hand. "What was that? Why is she look like Ayuzawa just now?".

"A-anyway, I have to answer your question. Actually, I felt uneasy about something. About someone's presence. The presence is gone. If it disappears, that means..." She couldn't continued her sentence.

"That person's dead?" He continued and Yuki nodded. "So, who is it?" He asked. "I... don't know" she answered but Usui didn't believe her. He doesn't want to force out the information from her, so he didn't asked her about it. "Is he die... Just because of us? If so, then his effort of protecting her, was useless" she gripped her hands while she bowed her head. "Yuki" he called her. His voice made her fully awake and she lifted her head, all of the sudden, she saw Usui's face close to her again while he bend over his body.

"U-Usui! Don't do that again!" She yelled. Usui chuckled.

"Yes yes, Yuki-chan. It's already evening, do you want to go home or visit Ayuzawa?" He teased her.

"Isn't it obvious? We visit her of course..." She stopped for a second. "And I have to tell her about him" she whispered. Usui was staring at her.

"Hhmm..."

"Huh? Did you say something, Usui?" She asked.

"Maybe. Do you want to know what it is?" He replied.

"No, not really. Enough chit chat, let's go!" She walked away from him. He was surprised that his voice didn't affect the current Yuki. It made him more suspicious of her. "Really, Yuki. Do you think you could lie to me about your feelings?" He whispered to himself while at their classroom alone. After that, he followed her outside and headed to Misaki's house.

At Ayuzawa household

"Ah, visiting again, I see" Minako smiled while she greeted them and let them inside. This is the second time they visit Misaki, but she didn't woke up yet. Just like yesterday, they head to Misaki's room, but this time Yuki didn't come.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to come?" Usui asked her.

"No. I will catch up with you later. I have to do something before then" she looked at Minako and Usui immediately knew what she meant so he walked upstairs. There's something that she's hide, but she refuse to tell anyone, even Minako. The truth is, she doesn't want to told about him. She felt guilty. She felt that she was the one that caused his death, but the truth has to be told, so she took the courage to tell her.

"Minako-san, there's something that I have to tell you" she said.

"What is it? What are you looking so serious and sad? Oh, come on. It can't be that-"

"It's about your husband" she cut Minako's sentence. The woman that once smiled on her, was lost her smile after hearing Yuki's words. "What's wrong with him?" she asked losing her smile. "Before I said this, I want to tell you that vampires are able to feel a presence from living things that they have touched"

"So? What do you want to tell me, Yuki-chan? Just tell me. I'm sure I will be able to handle it"

"So, if we can't feel the presence anymore, that means..." She hesitate for a while. "That person is no longer in this world. And that's exactly what I felt in him" she kind of relief after saying that because she didn't want to hide it from her. "So, you're breaking our promise... or was it just a fake promise?" Minako whispered to herself. "Minako-san?" She asked looking at her aunt. "Well, it's time for you to visit her, Yuki! Go now!" She pushed her with a smile. Yuki walked to the stairs while saying "it's not a fake promise, Minako-san. It was real, real enough for him. You already have a peaceful life that you always wanted ever since you leave that mansion. But, you'll never experienced that peaceful life with him" she thought in her mind.

Meanwhile, Usui was watching Misaki sleeping. She look so peaceful to him and he couldn't help but smile watching her and kissed her forehead. Suddenly, she woke up.

"You woke up at last, Ayuzawa"

"Maybe. I still can't understand what happened yesterday" she hold her forehead.

"yesterday? You slept for almost 2 days, Ayuzawa"

"What? That long? How about school and my paperwork?" She forcedly stood her body, but immediately fell down. Usui managed to catch her on time. "Relax, since Yukimura can't take that much work, Yuki helped him. And she did all of your paperwork. She also managed to secure the school, since no one dare to oppose her" he told her. But then, he was surprised of what he found underneath her sheet.

"Pres, what's that? And how did you get that? He asked.

"What? Oh, this?" She hold the thing. "I don't really know, but my mother said that this is very important to me and it's my good-luck charm. And I love this sun shaped key chain. I can't be separated from it. I carried it everywhere" she smiled at the key chain. Yuki walked to Misaki's room and the door was at her sight. She was about to enter, but she immediately stop by Misaki's question.

"So, is it true that I'm a vampire? Moreover, am I really Yuki's relative? Who exactly am I Usui?" She asked while gripping the sheet. Usui didn't answer her question and turned his head a little to the door, since he knew that Yuki was hiding behind that door. The black hair girl was hiding behind the closed door while bowed her head making her face completely hidden by the shadow.

"Why didn't you say anything? Say something, idiot Usui! I know you know everything about this. Just tell me!" She gripped his collar and lift it. He didn't say anything and was looking at her, eye-to-eye. Then, she loosen the grip and bowed her head. "Tch! Say something, you idiot pervert. Please..." She spoke with a low voice and Usui still looking at her. From then on, Usui grabbed her hand and lifted her head with his another hand.

"Ayuzawa..." He called her.

"She suppressing herself way to far for you. You're very important to her. That key chain is the symbol of your connection with her. You, me, and Yuki were so close back then. Friendship between humans and vampires are allowed and it's a must. But, the love between this 2 race are forbidden."

"Why is that?" She asked

"I don't really know why. The answer can be anything. But I heard that if that person loves a human and they're together, eventually, the vampire will bite the human and they will become the prey, that is, if the vampire couldn't take the lust. This occasion always happens, but this is just one of the reason that their love are forbidden."

"Usui, why are you telling me about their love?" She wondered, but Usui still continued his speech.

"Your father broke the rule about that. So, your family was hidden by your father's relative. They feel humiliated by his action. Nobody support their love, except Yuki's family. Only I, Kamui, and Yuki were your friends. Even though Kamui and I were her best friends, you still number one for her. She willingly sacrifice her own life for you and for all of us. She was resemble to you. Her personality, expression, and everything about her resembles to you. And she always smile even though she was in pain" Usui stopped for a while and turned his head to Yuki again.

"And that's when my first love start, after I saw her smile" he spoke which is making both girls surprised.

"Of course, I was still little, so I don't know the meaning of love. But, I really felt that way. I know that this love is forbidden, so I tried to forget about it and just as I already did, you come to me with a smile that reminds me of her smile. And I start to fall in love again." He hold her cheek to face him.

"Wha-what are saying? You're being retarded again. Don't play around with my feelings, Usui!". Suddenly, Usui locked his stare and she melted by it. He lean his face closer to her and they closed their eyes with a blush, but he immediately stop by the sound of broken plates shattered to the floor.

Everyone surprised and head to the kitchen. Misaki was about to stand up, but Usui pushed her down so she could stay in her bed and hugged her. Make sure that she doesn't go anywhere. Yuki and Suzuna head to the kitchen and saw Minako lying on the floor with some plates broke and the pieces was everywhere. They tried everything to woke her, but it's no use. So, Suzuna called for ambulance. Not long after that, the ambulance has arrived and take Minako to the hospital accompanied by Suzuna, but before she entered the ambulance, she spoke something to Yuki.

"Why is ambulance here? Let me go, Usui! I need to know what's going on!" She struggled from his hug.

"I won't allow you to go outside while you're at this state. Stay with me, Misaki" he whispered to her ear and she froze. Suddenly, Yuki opened the door.

"Misaki, your mother was taken to the hospital and Suzuna said that she will stay there to look after her. So, she want me to stay here until she can go home"

"What's wrong with her? Why is she taken to the hospital?" She panicked

"I pretty sure I know why, but I can't tell you. Not yet" once again, she hide something from her. She always did that, so Misaki was angry.

"That enough! Why you always hide everything from me? I already know who I am, so I can accept anything"

"It's because I have to do this. I do this to protect you. So, just sit back and don't get in my way" she glared at her. After that, she went outside to the kitchen. Usui followed her and spotted her at the kitchen cleaning up the mess. He approached her and helped her, but he didn't say anything. Neither Yuki nor Usui talked. Then, after Usui dispose the pieces to the trash can, he finally spoke. "I'll stay too. I can't leave both of you alone".

"Usui..." She spoke. "What?" He replied.

"Why don't you pick Misaki? You and I know that you want her to live the most instead of me. Don't be stubborn" she spoke. Her words made Usui gripped his hands of not accepting her statement. He walked to her. A scary and creepy look was seen from his face. He was mad about it. Yuki took step back and stop at the corner. Her back hit by the wall. Usui glared at her. And so, he lean his face to her with a glare.

"You don't know my feelings. It's not an easy decision for me. Don't talk as if I only think about her. I will make sure that both of you are alive, especially you, the reckless one. I will keep my eye on you, Yuki. And if you do reckless things again, I will punish you" he spoke and walked away from her.

"Usui, you didn't know that Misaki was free from her sentence" she said while Usui wasn't there anymore.

"But it doesn't mean that everything's fine for her. This is just the beginning of her new life" she gripped her hands tightly.
