Placing yamato in its sheath, he stood towering over me, balancing a look that left him
unsure of whether or not he should be merciful or leave me there to die a slow painful
death.
After few minutes later I was in his arms being carried up the stairs.
While carrying my body he noticed that it was bleeding severely. Quickly he ran to the
closest room, kicked opened the door and laid me on the bed.
He didn't hesitate as he tore off my drenched clothes, he was quite shocked to see that I
was still breathing but just barely, despite the gashes across my mangled body.
Hastily he cleaned and dressed my wounds.
My body felt cold, I'd be cleansed and bandaged, but the damage was done, I'd lost alot of
blood and I felt my life slowly draining away. My vision blurred, but I could feel him in
the room.
I felt him pull me up, propping me up against the wall. There was a sound of metal being
pulled from a sheath...he was drawing yamato.
Vergil grabbed the blade with a tight firm grip, slowly he began to cut himself.
He grunted in pain, then I felt him grow close to me, and i felt the bed sink where he
sat.
"I'm sorry, but this...will hurt"
I nodded as I understood, knowing that what he was about to do..wasn't going to be
pleasant.
"Why are you going out of your way to save me, a human?" I asked with a conserned puzzeled
voice.
"..." he stared at me with a fierce look in his eyes and said nothing.
He pulled my arm out towards him, and I felt the coldness of a blade against my skin, the
blade drew back and I heard myself utter a loud groan of pain, I felt warm blood begin to
seep from the wound, but his warm hand quickly closed over it and gripped me tightly.
The sensation was nothing I'd ever felt before, I could feel warmth trickling into the
freshly made wound. As it began to travel up my arm, it was hot, so very hot...burning me
inside.
The closer the sensation got to my heart, the more I began to scream, the pain was almost
unbearable. I struggled, trying to pull away.
But Vergil wasn't letting up, his grip only grew stronger.
Suddenly he pulled me close, I was silenced, as I felt smooth, soft warm flesh on my lips,
his mouth moved over mine, the kiss was hard but gentle, as I felt the energy return to my
body I reciprocated, kissing him back with much fervor.
I don't know how much time passed, but he let go and collapsed next to me, paler than
usual and softly groaning. He held his hand to his chest which was bloody. His eyes not
focused and they soon closed, and he drifted into unconciousness, I was scared..had he
died?
I reached over and held him in my arms. As I Put my ear to his mouth, I heard a steady
breath beginning. I relaxed, feeling relieved.
Witnessed what he had done for me, seeing him lay there almost lifeless..all because of
me. Instantly I felt a tramendus wave of guilt and sadness as it enveloped my heart..my
mind.
"Why..why me?" I asked myself while looking at this beautiful man laying next to me who
seemed so heartless and cold. But that kind of person would never have sacrificed so much,
let alone risking their own life.
"Vergil.." I whispered his name softly.
He'd saved my life...my life..I kissed his sweaty brow, and laid next to him, a silent
tear ran down my face as I held him close. I felt weak, but alive.
Morning came, I had awakened to a warm bright, sunny day. But Vergil was nowhere to be
found. That moment I could only think of one thing..
"Vergil is he alright?"
I hadn't stopped worring eversince last night's incident.
Hastely I got out of bed and collapsed under the overwelming pain, my body still wasn't
well enough to start moving about.
But being as stubborn as I was, I stagered back on my feet. I hurried over to the closet I
had some trouble putting on clean clothes. There was only one place that I could think to
look for him, the library.
I opened the door making my way down the whinding stairs, after reaching the bottom I ran
for the doors of the library.
As I entered remembering the fist time I was in here. "This would be the second time that
I had been in here"
The first time was when I met him, where I met..Vergil. My heart started to flutter just
remembering.
After looking down all the ailes I couldn't find him, he was nowhere..
"Where is he, I want to know if he's alright!"
At this point I was very worried. When I made my way out shutting the doors behind me, I
instantly felt an over welming presence. When I turned around Vergil was standing in front
of me, he looked angry.
"Why are you not in bed? You shouldn't be up and moving yet, your body still needs time to
recover, you of all should know this!"
"I was looking for you, wanting to see if you were alright"
"I don't need your pity, have you forgotten that I am not human?"
But Vergil knew very well that he had human blood corsing through his vains. He refuses to
let the emotions take over.
I knew that there was something else that angered him.
"Last night when I removed your clothes something that didn't belong to you had fallen out
of your packet"
He reached into his coat and held up his amulet.
I was Shocked! I had forgotten all about that, I meant to give that back the next time I
saw him. Then I remembered fighting off the demons, and..I don't remember what happened
after that. All that I remember..is waking up, that my wounds were cleaned and bandaged.
And Vergil giving me his blood.
"Vergil I-"
"HOLD YOUR TOUNGE! How dare you steal from me, after I saved your pathetic mizerable life,
BE GONE, LEAVE ME!"
He was staring at me as if death was in his eyes. My body trembled, I was beyond terified,
I ran out the doors fleeing for my life.
I have never seen someone so beautiful turn so dark. I didn't know where I was going, I
couldn't return home to my father. So I desided to run as far as my legs would carry me.
My body was still hurting pretty badly, so I probably wont get very far let alone servive.
After I had left Vergil was still enraged that I had his amulet, the only thing that his
mother left him before she died.
"I regret ever shedding my blood on a human, how was she able to obtain it?"
He thought about it for a moment, he remembered that he took a shower the other day,
placing it on the window ceil before getting into the shower, and afterwards when he had
gotten out that's when I showed up.
"That's when She came, that woman, I was a fool to have been distracted. All that blood I
had shed, wasted. She will soon meat her end if she hasn't already"
Then he remembered the moment that night seeing her in so much pain, that was the first
time he'd seen someone in such agony. It was as if he felt pitty for her, and that's when
he kissed my lips trying to ease my suffering. Before he collapsed from the blood loss
he felt a soft warm embrass.
He didn't know what to think of those thoughs and feelings. But he couldn't just let her
die either, and have that moment be in vain.
He put on his amulet as he went out the doors.
"You better still be alive, couldn't have gotten far in your condition"
Final my legs and lungs gave out, I couldn't run anymore my body was completely drained
and dry-heaving. I sat down in hoping that I could catch my breath. No idea how long I had
been running or where I was, and the sun was setting, it was getting cold. All I could
think about was Vergil, even if he was spiteful towards me, if only he knew if only he had
let me speak..
The sun had set..and I was alone in the dark. Wishing Vergil was here.
Suddenly I hear the sound of footsteps.
"Vergil..is that you?"
I got up and waled over to the sound hoping that it was him, but there was nothing. Again
I hear that sound, it was close..very close. I turned around and there stood a demon, this
time it was a different kind, it made a piercing screatch as it crept towards me.
I was so scared, I didn't know what to do, so I did the only thing that I could, run for
my life. It was chasing after me and fast, I was losing energy, still so weak.
I was looking back behind me, it had vanished but I still kept going. I wasn't paying
attention and stumbled over a rock that was sticking out of the ground. As my body made
impact the wind was knocked out of me. I couldn't move, then I heard a rush through the
trees, I thought to myself "I see..so this is how I die?" Just when I was about to close
my eyes Vergil runs out from the woods.
I was so relieved to see him. Noticing my lack of mobility he rushes to my aid.
"What are you doing on the ground foolish girl, do you want to die?"
"I was running and triped, got the wind knocked out of me. I can't move I have no energy
and body is so weak it hurts all over"
"You humans truly are weak"
Just when he was about to pick me up a demon appeared behind him.
"VERGIL BEHIND YOU!"
The demon's claws lashed out at Vergil piercing his torso, quickly he unsheaths yamato and
vanquished the demon. Causing more of them to appear.
Immediately I was blinded by a bright light illuminateing off of Vergil. His appearance
was different. He had sharp jagged teeth, long piercing talons, his coat had merged with
his body scaled like a snake...his face..I couldn't find the words to discribe it.
He was..a monster!
I had become petrified of his new formed image, even more so than those demons.
"Is that what his blood does to him, will I also end up like that since I share his
blood?" Shaking, I asked myself.
Vergil's appearance made the demons more aggressive, enraged they surrounded him.
He turned away from me and drew Yamato, I could hear the metallic ring it gave as he
unsheathed it. Walking slowly, casually towards them, not a drop of fear in his stride.
I could hear their foul growls standing still and at the ready as he approached.
One grew too excited from the tension and before long it jumped higher than any man, and
began to bring it's Scythe down upon Vergil's head.
There was a definite crunch of scaly slimy skin breaking, quicker than lighting Vergil
thrust his own weapon north and the descending demon was impaled upon Yamato, it's
gurgling screech echoed through the clearing as black blood spilled from it's lips.
The others began to move in, quickly, enraged at the death of one of their herd.
Vergil brought down his sword knocking over a portion of their group with the carcass of
the impaled demon, this only aggravated them more. He pushed off the corpse with a kick of
his foot, sticky black blood pooling on the ground.
Six or seven of them grouped up, ready to unleash hell upon the blue demon. It was like a
field battle, except it was an army of nine to one.
They began running towards him, screeching ever louder, looking almost like a storm cloud
of tattered rags and scales.
There was a glint of metal, almost resembling lighting, and a metallic swing rung out. and
the cloud began to fall, blood spurting in many directions, screams of pain and loud thuds
as they began to fall to the ground, their torsos falling before their legs.
They all lay dead, red eyes glazed as they were drained from life, except one.
It stood there, a fury like fire in it's eyes. It bared it jagged teeth, thick chunks of
saliva dribbling down it's chin.
The blue demon stared back, calmly, relaxing his weight on Yamato.
The black demon began to sprint towards him, holding it's large Scythe high above it's
head. So deadly, so ready to kill.
It neared, quickly, quickly..
The tip of the blade missed the blue demon by a mere centimeter. Vergil grabbed the base
of the curved blade and twisted it violently down, causing the black creature to lose it's
footing, crashing down harshly onto the ground.
It began to turn it's head upwards, still ready to fight.
I wanted to close my eyes, pretend this all wasn't real.
Skillfully the blue demon rose up Yamato, twirling it through his fingers, almost as if it
were ribbon, and brought it down right through the black demons red eyes, pinning it to
the ground.
The rest of it's body fell limply. Dead.
Vergil, still in his monstrous form, drew the weapon from the corpse and sheathed it, and
slowly began to walk towards me.
As he walked up to me I recoiled in fear still petrified of this monstrous form, but I
know it's him, I still trust him, he helps scooped me up and head back to the tower as the
rain began to pour.
I felt his scaly skin against my arm, the texture was smooth, yet slightly jagged against
my skin, I still was unsure whether to be frightened of him or not. I was still in shock
at his transformation, I wondered if I'd ever get used to it.
Once inside the tower Vergil gently put me on my feet, reverting back to his normal self.
That's when I realized he was wounded.
"Vergil you're hurt!"
He brushed my words away by ignoring me, acting like I never said anything.
"Why did you come after me? I thought that you never wanted to see me again?"
"Because I shed to much blood to just let you die, it would have been a waste. I gave you
my blood, blood from my own veins. You belong to me now."
He sighed "Look, don't take it the wrong way, I am not one to feel emotions for anyone"
"I belong to him now!" the phrase echoed through my mind as a faint smile formed across
my lips.
"I'm going to lie down for a bit, just remember what I said, don't take what I said the
wrong way, I don't believe in emotions, like a mere mortal"
After hearing those words my heart sank and felt heavy, my heart was breaking..
As he walked away I ran up behind him and wrapped my arms around him.
"Vergil?"
I didn't know what made me do it, but I couldn't just let him walk away, I was trembling,
so frightened for what he might do, that he might reject my touch. But I didn't care. I
could see his pain. Not physically in pain, but by his actions. I wanted him to know that
I cared so much.
The tears welled up in my eyes.
"Vergil! Why must you keep shedding your blood for me?" my voice raising.
"Why do you wish to suffer in silence?"
He felt his heart skip and begin to beat faster, surprised by my words for him, that
embrace he had felt that night.
"That warm feeling again...what is this!" He thought to himself.
Vergil placed his hand on his heart where my hand was.
"..." he refused to reply
I felt my hands slowly slipping as he began to walk away.
In his room Vergil took off his coat and vest, grunting lowly in discomfort from the deep gashes in his side.
"Hng, it's worse than I thought"
He then notices me in the doorway, with a deeply saddened look on my face.
"Vergil...it looks so bad, please let me help you. Let me clean your wounds!"
Entering his room I had in my hands the same stuff that he used on me.
"Leave me, I don't need your pity" and he turned away from me
I'd had it, I simply wouldn't let him throw me aside, I kept walking towards him.
"I will not-" he began.
"Please be quiet and let me do this. After all I belong to you now do I not?" I said,
interrupting him.
He looked towards the window and scoffed, he knew I was right.
I smiled and began to clean his wounded torso. I took a warm wet cloth and dabbed at the
wound gently.
Vergil winced silently from the contact; he exhaled slowly and deeply. I placed the cloth
in the bowl of water, and began placing several gauzes on the freshly cleansed flesh.
I found myself in that moment again like that time he gave me his blood.
As I wrapped the bandage around him, I looked at his muscular body. Infatuation took over
me.
I adored this man, and I couldn't be happier than to belong to him.
The wound was cleaned, but I couldn't draw my hands away, cautiously I begin to caress his
wound, I could feel the heat creep up to my face, feeling flustered, I pull my hands away,
still blushing.
I start to clean up the leftover bandages and gauze away, when he grabs me gently and
pulls me close to embrace me, he holds me tight, tightly enough that I feel my breath
leave my lungs. I couldn't believe what was happening. He was expressing his gratitude
cause he didn't have the words to express his feelings.
Our eyes lock, and I quickly turn away, but he turns my face back towards his, forcing me
to look at him. He asks me what was wrong, why I looked away when we look at each other.
I don't say anything, he asks if it's because of what I saw him turn into, that I was
afraid of him.
I pull away and tell him that I was very sorry, and pick up the pile of medical equipment
and left the room.
