Yes... I remember... 8 years ago... it was that day when she was taken away by HIM...
"What do you mean by 'I'm making you mine'?" Hibari brushed his hand over the place where she bit him. The wound is gone...? Kiku giggled. "You like me, right?" Hibari felt his face heat up in embarrassment. "Y-yes..." "I like you, too~" "Yeah..." "So that works out perfectly~!" Hibari looked at her, still confused. "I did a blood ceremony with you~ though it's not really much of a ceremony..." Kiku pondered for a while. "I wonder why they call it a ceremony anyway..." Hibari smiled and patted her head. "And what's a blood ceremony?" "A-ah! It's when I give you some of my blood and magic to mix with your blood and with this, we created a bond~ this way, we are tied together for the rest of our lives..."
Hibari started to grow in worry as Kiku's face turned pale. "Ku, what's wrong?!" His question was soon answered as a wave of vines struck towards them. "KYOYA GET AWAY NOW!" "Nufufu... too late~" Two of the vines reached out and struck right through Hibari as his eyes widened in shock. What is happening...? I see a lot of blood dripping... Wait... isn't that my blood? "KYOYAAAAA!" The vines retreated as they had already hit their target. Kiku caught him in her arms and looked over to see a blue pineapplehead standing next to the vines. "Oya, oya... I seemed to have missed his heart~" Kiku glared daggers at him. "Who are you?" The pineapplehead smirked. "My name is Daemon Spade, and I assume that you are Kiyomi Kiku, yes?" "What do you want?" "Nufufu... I think you already know the answer to that question... I want YOU." Kiku growled. "As if I'd let you take me... and I'll bite you to death for harming my Kyoya..."
A dark aura surrounded Kiku and the sky turned blood-red like the moon. Daemon just smiled. "Nufufu, how intimidating~" Kiku laid Hibari gently on the floor and disappeared in a flash. Then, she appeared in front of Daemon and slashed at him. Daemon, who was well-trained, quickly jumped back just in time. "That was close!" Kiku gave a mischievous smile as a slash hit him from behind, but he blocked it with his scythe. "What!?" "How interesting~ I think I'll have some fun with you before I take you with me~!" He disappeared in a flash. Kiku, who knew that he was copying what she did, was prepared to block from the back, but the slash came at all 4 sides. "!" What in the world... Daemon stood in front of her as she was on her knees on the floor. "How could you have done that... are you even human?" Daemon smirked. "Good question~ Unfortunately, I cannot answer it right now, as I have to finish off the little kid before I take you..." Daemon walked over to Hibari and picked him up by the neck. "I wish you were a little stronger so I could have a little fun with you, too... but now, I have to finish you off~" "Tch... how dare you hurt Ku..."
Hibari opened his eyes and grabbed Daemon's arm with a huge amount of strength. "Agh!" Daemon dropped Hibari and took out his scythe. Kiku coughed out blood. "Oh no... this isn't good..." Hibari glared at Daemon with blood-red eyes and bared his sharp fangs at him. "Oh? Kiyomi-chan, I thought you knew there was a chance of this happening~" Kiku strained to get up. "But the chance of that was really low... I overlooked it..." "Nufufu... I can still beat him, though, since he is just a newborn." Daemon ran towards Hibari and slashed at him with his scythe. Hibari disappeared and came, striking down at Daemon from above, but he blocked it with his scythe. "Your movements are too obvious, kid. I can beat you very easily, despite the fact that you have an overwhelming amount of power." Daemon threw Hibari off his scythe and kicked him with so much force that Hibari hit right through a tree. "STOP!" Kiku ran towards Daemon and grabbed onto his scythe. "Please! Don't hurt him!" Daemon pulled his scythe away from her and kicked her as well. She crashed into Hibari and coughed out blood again. Oh no! This isn't good... I wasted too much blood and magic when doing the blood ceremony... (The more blood and magic used during a blood ceremony, the lower the chance is of having the person become a vampire or a valkyrie -explanation at the bottom-)
"Ku...are you okay...?" Hibari reached out towards Kiku, but the staff of Daemon's scythe separated them. "Nufufu... I'll have to end it here now..." Daemon held up his scythe, but Kiku hugged onto his leg, crying. "Please... stop... don't hurt him! I'll go with you if you won't hurt him!" Daemon smirked. "Oya?" Hibari's eyes widened. "Ku! Don't!" "I'm sorry Kyoya... it's for the best... I don't want him to harm you anymore..." Daemon brought down his scythe. "If you're willing to go with me, then I won't hurt him~ but on one condition." "No! Ku don't do it!" "...what is it?" "You will have to erase his memories of you and seal his powers." "NO! KU!" Kiku gave Hibari a sad look. "Alright..." "Good~" Hibari started tearing. "Ku... I don't want to forget you! I don't care what happens to me! Please, don't do this!"
Kiku kissed him on the cheek. "I'm sorry..." She got up, sobbing, and walked away with Daemon holding his scythe at her to make sure she doesn't do anything else. "No... why... please don't do this... somebody... save her! Please don't go! Daemon, don't take her away! Please! KIKUUUUUUUU!" Kiku looked back at Hibari with teary eyes and gave him one last smile. "I love you, Kyoya..." The world turned black and collapsed on Hibari.
Oh my... I can't help but cry when typing the last scene... QwQ -coughs- anyway, here's the explanation I promised~ -points to a chalk board with notes, diagrams, and all that-:
So, first of all, a blood ceremony is a ceremony that represents from friendship to marriage. It "bonds" two people so that they will never forget each other (if they forget, they will still unconsciously remember... ah... this is strange owo like they forget, but they still remember... you know what I'm saying, right?), they can always "tell" or "sense" where the other is, they can sense if the other is in distress or something, etc etc etc.
A bond requires a demon/angel/vampire/watnot to provide blood and magic in order for it to work, but because of this, it has different reactions if you're mixing two races. For example, with a Pureblood Xenon, such as Kiyomi-san over there (Kiku: Hi!), and with a human, such as Hibari-chan over there (hn...), there is a 40% chance that he will turn into a vampire (20% chance), a shadow angel (10% chance) or a xenon (5% chance). But because a Pureblood Xenon's blood and is more powerful than a regular Xenon's, the percentage is much lower, which is 15% (vampire: 10% shadow angel: 4% xenon: 1%). Aaaaand since the percentage seemed to be so low, Kiyomi-san didn't think he would turn into one of them (vampire). The percentages differ for different races, the stronger and higher in rank one is, the lower the percentage is. Also, the percentage differs depending on who is doing the blood ceremony with who. So:
human + creature = higher percentage
same race + same race = 0%
same race + different race = 0 –10%
And I know you're wondering what this is and what that is so here you goes~:
Xenon: A race some-what like a vampire-angel, one of a hard-to-find species
and here are some statistics of a xenon:
-strength: high
-speed: high
-endurance: low (regular), medium (pureblood)
-defense: high
-magic: high
here's why the percentages don't show angel and show shadow-angel instead:
-a xenon is a sort of like a vampire-angel so it cant be sort of like a light/pure/regular angel
Vampire: you all already know what it is :P (they twinkle under the sunlight... -tonfa'd-)
Some statistics:
-strength: high
-speed: high
-endurance: high
-defense: high
-magic: low
Aaaand I'll tell you more about the other demonic/pure races in the next chapters~ Hope you enjoyed this one!
