Hey everybody, school has started, but right now it's not bad. Now I know that everything will go downhill as the school progresses. -_-' Last time on Demonic Love; Grace soon learn the origins of her true self and true past. Kurapika became really worried about the female vampire. Killua now knows what he wants to do with his future, but his brother, Illumi, doesn't agree. This time, will Grace… or Elizabeth help Dracula, her brother, to take down their mother, or will she neglect her past? Will Killua succeed in the Hunter Exam? Find out this time. Enjoy!
Kurapika's POV
The night has past and today will continue onto the Hunter Exam. Killua will still face his brother in the fight… but I still can't believe all about Grace is real. 'Real world', Elizabeth, murder of a village, and the fact that the Chairman of the Hunter Association was in love with their uncle. Their uncle for crying out loud! So many things have been happening that I can't even keep up. She did deceived me when she disguised herself as a male, but she wanted to be treated as an equal, so is she the honorable vampire all demon kind knows about?
And what's with Killua? He's been acting weird ever since this morning. I should watch and see why.
No One's POV
Killua remained calm in front of his brother. His brother saw this and wondered to himself. He kept looking at him with a confused visage. 'Is he really ready to fight me? He needs know that the strong wins.' Illumi thought to himself. Now the eldest Zoldyck brother decided to convince his younger brother. "Kill… we both know that you're not capable of being a Hunter, so why even try to force yourself onto it."
Soon, the silver haired twelve year old smirked at his brother, not even showing his eyes. Grace saw this and wondered what's going on over there. Something was very amiss here. She looked at Dracula to see what he has done and he has a smirk on his face. Elizabeth looked back onto the fight to see that they're still standing there. Like time has frozen in place.
She looked very carefully at the two, wondering why in the world is Killua is so calm. Yeah, she took the needle out of his head, but the ex-assassin can't even compete with his brother. She actually wanted him to give up and have Killua face Bodoro so there wouldn't be any trouble between the two. But now she wants to know how this will end up… for Killua's pride.
"You still want to be a Hunter?" Illumi asked his little brother. The silver haired male nodded, still not showing his eyes. "And… Gon and Elizabeth are you're friends?"
He answered, "That's right."
Illumi hummed at that fact. Killua eyed him carefully, making sure there wouldn't be anything funny with him. "That's bad…" he kept his finger on his chin until he thought of an idea, "Ok. Then I'll kill Gon and make Elizabeth your bride. Is that good?"
Once that was said, Killua lunged at him with full force… Grace's eyes widen. 'That's weird. Killua is actually a lot faster than usual… in theory… now he's faster than Illumi… with him not using Nen."
The ex-assassin slashed his brother's face, leaving the black haired assassin with claw marks on his cheeks. He touched his cheek and felt something warm and oozing. When he took a look a stare at it, red was on his fingertips. It was his blood. He turned to his younger brother and his eyes shown. Everyone gasped at the sight and Chairman Netero eyed Dracula. Unlike Killua's normal hue of red, it is now shade of red. A mix between blood and scarlet red.
"Dracula." Netero said.
"I know… but I can't help. Though he had very little impression points… he is determined to protect his friends… but now family since now I took a liking to him, the Kuruta and that Gon fellow." The older vampire laughed, "Man, and we vampire thought that every human should've been treated as a snack, not friends. And even that old man."
Netero smiled at that statement and continued to watch the match. Vampires are really loyal to their comrades and friends, that's not a lie.
"I should be thanking her brother after this. Very few vampires and humans know of this… but it brings much power to all." Killua smirked at this. Grace knew what happened. Red eyes, long fangs, superhuman strength and speed. He became one of her kind. A vampire. "You won't lay a hand on them, through my dead body. Though temporary, the price of it is very rewarding. "
The black haired girl turned back to her brother and shot daggers at him. He smiled away like an idiot he kind of is. She knows that it had to do with Dracula. Illumi looked at Killua for a moment. He blinked once or twice to see what has happened to his little brother.
Curiosity got the best of him and asked, "Kill… what happened to you? Is it that vampire that changed you? What did he do?"
Killua smirked at his older brother. NO way is he going to tell him. Not even on his life. He gave Illumi a toothy grin and said, "What's wrong? Are you now afraid of my powers? I can beat you up as much as I like it and there's no way I'm going to stop until you give up!"
He rushed into the scene and keep melee attacking him. Left, right, up, down. There were no stop of the attacks. The silver haired twelve year old soon ended the combo with a punch into the stomach, which made Illumi fly into the wall. Illumi was unfazed by the pain he's feeling. He looked at his right arm to see now that it is now broken into pieces. He wondered how he could get that power from a vampire. He looked at the two of them for a moment. 'Elizabeth couldn't because I doubt she's one of the few that knew how to make someone into the form he's in, so it has to be Dracula.'
"Killua," Illumi tried to reason with him again. "Remember Kill, you're only concerned whenever one is or isn't to be killed. A killer like you don't need friends."
Killua glared at him. His eyes can pierce one's heart into death if it can. He kicked his brother again from the wall, and that's when Illumi's instincts kicked in, and tried to fight back with his little brother with Nen. From the vampiric powers. He dodged out of the way and started to attack again. Rage entered his eyes and almost got the best of him, so he plummet his brother to the ground.
His eyes continued to glow a beating red. He growled, as if in bloodlust, yet he's calm, "Illumi… I don't care if I don't pass… but I will kill you if you ever go anywhere close to them… especially Gon… and Grace's groom will be Kurapika."
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING YOU FUCKING IDIOT?!" Grace yelled with red covering as a tomato. She kept cursing and trying to attack the younger male, but Dracula was the one to keep her still. "FUCK YOU KILLUA! I WILL MURDER YOU IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO ON THIS CRUELFUL EARTH! YOU HEAR ME YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
"KILLUA! THAT WAS SO UNCALLED FOR!" The Kuruta also shouted as well.
On the sidelines, Pokkle's heart panged hard. How could that assassin say that so easily? Does that mean he doesn't have a chance with Elizabeth? Though he just met her for a few minutes, it was like it was love at first sight. He wanted that chance to impress her, and even make her his lover. So what's the meaning of this? Do they already have a relationship? He looked down in disappointment. The two of them were always together from the beginning of the Exam. They talked to each other, smiled together, heck, he sworn he saw them kissing. That meant she's not the girl he should be going after. Demonic love is something you should never interfere.
Kurapika was a blushing mess when Killua said that out of the blue. The Kuruta does love her with all of his heart and soul, but he didn't even consider being married to the girl. The thought of marrying her in that pure white dress, and him waiting there in a black tuxedo ready to pro… pro… pro… the thought made him red and twiddle his fingers at that thought.
"There is no love going on because once I become a Hunter, I will kill him as well as Gon." Everyone's eyes widen at that statement.
Elizabeth eyes became dilated like a cat does when they're ready to pounce. That activated her bloodlust and rushed to Kurapika's side and hugged him near her heart. Illumi saw this and looked at her in wonder. Kurapika looked at the vampire girl. His heart is racing at the danger of her dangerous lust… and yet it feels so comforting that this is for him… It intoxicated him, hypnotize him to be near her. He now know the extent of her love for him. His eyes became fogged. Everyone felt it… even Gon from across the room. This bloodlust was protective and stern. He automatically knew that this was Grace's lust. Everyone knew that they should back off. Though Netero, Killua, Illumi, Hisoka, and Dracula stayed calm.
"Illumi… dare lay a finger on Gon or Kurapika…" That's when her bat wings folded out of her back. She's very serious about what he said about killing her friends. "I'll be the one to kill you…. If you care about living then stay away from them…"
He hummed again. He does care for his life and wants to get that Hunter License and get the vampire princess to become Killua's wife, but Killua is being stubborn and Elizabeth will even kill him if anything goes wrong. He wasn't very sure what to do because he doesn't even see the needle in Kill's head anymore. Not let Killua win the match and kill the two will mean his own death, but letting Killua win and leave the two alone would mean trouble.
Soon, the martial artist growled at the older brother. "Ok then… I'll give up on my next match if it means getting that bastard disqualified. I don't even care if I die trying or suffer because you won't interfere with any of them."
He sighed. He will return his brother home. And the Hunter License may do some good in the near future. He then agreed with a sigh, "Fine, I give, but I know I won't lose to him. And I will return you home Kill… that's what mother demanded me to do."
Everyone glared at the assassin to get ready to strike at him while the examiners just remained calm about the situation. Killua sighed as his eyes return back to their normal sapphire hue. He let out a relaxed sighed knowing that he passed. He realized something. He… passed… Grace soon stared at him for a moment until…
"YOU DID IT KILLUA!" She shouted in excitement. "You did it! You passed the exam! That was really awesome!" She soon ran towards him and captured him into her arms and kissing him. "Good job Killua! That was awesome!"
The silver haired male blushed really hard and tried to get out of the female's grasp. He tried to push her off with all he can muster, but it was too tight! "Big Sister! Stop it! You're embarrassing me! NOT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE! C'MON!" He kept yelling and screaming at her to get off of the ex-assassin, but somewhat likes the attention she's giving. Dracula gave a gentle smile to the two. He remembered something in his mind. Something nostalgic… and sweet.
*Flashback*
"Big Brother!" A young voice called out. She has big bloody red eyes as if they're rubies, pure white skin in the sparkling night, and shining black hair that almost blend into the twilight day. A young 4 thousand year old. (She looks as if she's a 4-5 year old.) "Big Brother!"
A younger Dracula turned back to his little sister with a smile. He looks as if he's a teenager. (To vampires 15 thousand year old. He looks like a 13 to 15 year old.) He smiled gently at her and fully turned to his little sister. He laughed, "Yes Elizabeth? You seem excited."
"Did you forget already?!" She screamed and pouted. The young Dracula ritually had to cover his ears because the vampiric girl has a loud voice when she isn't quiet. Elizabeth is a very stubborn girl, so he had to think about it hard so he carefully thought until steam came out of his ears. She let out a sigh and face palmed to herself. "Geez, you're impossible like our Uncle William! Today, Papa will be announcing who will be the next ruler of us all!"
He paused for a moment, then he soon begin to scream and panic. He rushed back into his cape and ran into the hall. During the speech, every vampire in the world came to this place and all sat down to see the two children and their mother sat in front of the crowd.
The two vampire children glared at her. Their father was very oblivious of their own mother being an abusive whore that only cared for herself. All she wanted it the fame and the royalty to all vampires and demons in the history. Every vampire knows that it is so important to be royalty because of not the higher ups, but the fact if you do become the ruler, you'll be granted eternal youth. She only cares for her beauty and strength.
But this is going to be tricky. The mother is older, and Dracula is the next alfa male to their father, so this is going to be a difficult choice to all. So no one knows who has the chance to beat them all. It was almost to the end, but then something was going on. There was a pause in it. "You all aren't expecting my choice, but I understand." Every vampire soon whispered and murmured to each other, wondering what he's talking about. Eleanora was confused as well. Is this a joke? "You see… there is one vampire of them all that can actually to the impossible. None can do what she can do in decades!"
She? Dracula and Elizabeth is worried it was the mother who is going to be the one to be selected as the next heir to the throne. She will only bring chaos and discord… but what can she do what others cannot? That's when it hit Elizabeth and she knows what he's talking about. She was hoping to be a secret, but she let out a sigh… Now she knows that she can't disappoint any of them. She's prepared for anything. The mother was smirking at the fact that he said she… but she doesn't know what special thing she has.
"So you would understand better, I need my darling Elizabeth to come here." He started as he offered her to come up.
Elizabeth nodded to him and got up so that she's in front of everyone. But before anyone would say or do anything else, she turned to Dracula and said, "Don't worry, I'm going to be alright… stay back." Her big brother became really confused for a moment, but then shrugged it off and sat down to see what his father mean. The young female vampire can feel it… the sun is coming up.
He soon announced, "There are two traits I want to show everyone! Elizabeth, the knife you made." She nodded. The black haired girl grabbed the knife she made for her father and held it in her hand righteously. Soon, a man with wolf ears and tail elevate up onto the scene. He tried to struggle the chain he had on, but failed. Everyone was frightened, knowing who he was.
"We all know this high level rogue werewolf here. Known to murder both his and our people. People know how hard it is to kill at least a low level wolfman, but watch as my daughter strike him." As her father said, she pierced the werewolf's chest, into his heart. There was a pause into the air… His struggling stopped… all was quiet until his life just went out like a flash. "Now you can see my daughter can kill anyone and anything with the weapons she makes."
He looked at her with a proud smile. She returned the smile to him with a giggle. Everyone was impressed by a young vampire's strength. Dracula couldn't help but put a grin on his face and applaud for her. Everyone else did but their mother. She was sweating bullets knowing that it's her daughter and how she can easily kill her in a flash. No one can be as powerful as her.
The little vampire soon looked down with a blush. She shouldn't take that much credit, but it can't be helped. Who in vampiric history can do that just with a single strike of a simple knife? She's just hoping her father doesn't-
"And another trait!" He announced. 'Of course.' She thought in a pouty way. "And unlike the rest of us… she can survive something we long to see." Soon, a part of the ceiling opened and shown her into the sun. Everyone was in awe. A vampire surviving the day is very unbelievable…. And Elizabeth isn't drying up… "So we now know who will be the next heir to the throne! My darling Elizabeth!"
Everyone soon bowed down to their new princess. The little vampire wasn't sure about this… but if it's for her people's sake, then she's gladly to do it for them!
Later, during another night, Dracula came up to the new princess of all vampires with a huge smile on his face. He doesn't know what to say, but hug and kiss her repealing. A huge blush came across her face, but hugged him back.
"I love you."
Flashback end
He is very proud of what the humans influenced her. The princess, loyal to all of her people and now loved by humans should be one to celebrate.
Kurapika looked at the scene and the more the blonde looked at it… the more painful it's becoming. He looked downwards and the pain became hard to bare. Is he becoming… jealous...? Is Killua more important than him? He walked up to them without is conscience. The two looked at him and saw this.
"Kurapika?" Grace said in concern. "Are you alright?"
He soon realized what he was doing. He smiled at them and replied, "Sorry… I… had no idea what I was doing." He let out a blush and sighed. 'Well that was embarrassing.'
That's it for this chapter! We learned a bit more about Grace's… or should I say Elizabeth's past! Killua passed the Hunter Exam which he wasn't supposed to do. What will happen next time? Will Grace/Elizabeth come and help Dracula and reclaim the crown she so earns? Find out… next time. Favorite, Follow, and/or Review if you like. Bye!
