Haru's heart began to ache, the feeling of weakness being too much for her. She felt tears fall from her eyes as Kurama was dragged away by two vampires who showed no sign of anger as he cursed and attempted to free himself from their super-human grasp. He failed. Gritting her teeth as the pain became too unbearable, Haru clenched her fists. She told herself that this was the best thing to do, to take Kurama's place. She would rather her be hurt than anybody else. However, she felt like a traitor to her own squad, family and race. A human working for vampires? Surely that hadn't been done before. She knew that Guren would be disappointed in her, especially because she was 'dead'- which was what she told Rin and Kurama to say. If she had returned, he would be furious at hearing about how weak she was, even if she told him how she put up a fight.
Running her fingers over her two wounds, she felt the blood seep through her gloves. Her warm blood touching her fingertips, Haru refused to cry as she felt the wound, her pain had made her number. The lack of blood and circulation hurting her physically, and the fact that she was meant to be labeled as dead to her friends hurt her mentally.
"Now, I believe I should tell you the situation you are in," Krul commented. She turned gracefully on her heel and began to slowly walk towards a grand throne, however she ruined her royal aura by slumping in her chair in an unladylike manor. "I will put your worries at ease. You haven't been made a vampire."
Haru's eyes widened in a mix of relief and shock. She wasn't a vampire?! She didn't know how but for some reason she had convinced herself that she had been forced into becoming a vampire. Clearly her fear was but an illusion. Simply her mind playing games with her in order for her to edge closer towards insanity.
"I didn't change you as I feel like my new livestock are most likely going to cooperate and obey orders if they were to come from a visible human being," Krul said with a hint of smugness. She was obviously just using Haru for a way to gain the upper hand in this war. Haru stayed in a silent state, looking towards Krul and ignoring the stares from Ferid and Mika. She was beginning to understand what Krul really wanted. She wanted to use Haru in order to gain livestock. The vampire's precious blood bags. The living meals for those who are dead. Just the simple thought of gathering livestock sickened Haru to her stomach. She wanted to throw up right there and then.
"I will also have you know that we were able to place a small tracking device on your companion," Krul said, suddenly appearing before Haru who kneeled before the vampire queen. Krul let out a small smirk, tilting Haru's head up with her long nails. "If you fail to obey me, we will find him and kill him. That isn't a threat, that is a promise," The vampire said darkly, her eyes focusing on the human girl. Haru quickly shivered before looking again from the vampire's deathly glare.
"I will obey you," Haru said quietly, her voice laced with shame. Krul smirked again, turning on her heel and walking towards her favourite blonde haired vampire. Mika continued to look towards Haru with a cold and gloomy expression, causing Haru to look away as she felt tears in her eyes once again. Mika could feel her sadness radiating off of her, so depressed and filled with a sickening thoughts. However, Mika did feel at ease that Krul hadn't changed Haru into something like him, he didn't want to sympathize with a human.
Krul stood proudly before Mika, looking into his blue eyes. She raised her hand, her sleeves rustling, before she cupped his warm cheek. "Mika, I am beginning to worry about your well being," Krul said in an almost motherly fashion. "I wish for you to be happy and stop acting so depressed all the time, so from now on Haru will be your companion."
Mika stayed quiet, staring at Haru who had somehow regained her serious expression despite the fact she was in a terrible situation. He simply nodded in response before he began to walk towards Haru, his boots tapping effortlessly against the cold tile floor. Haru instinctively tried to walk back, ignoring the pain in her shoulder as she put her hands out in front of her for some kind of defense. Mika continued to walk towards her, grabbing her small wrist and pulling Haru along with him as the two left the large hall. He could feel Krul giving a smirk. She was definitely going to enjoy this. Mika's eyes widened as he felt Haru wince whilst he gripped tighter onto her wrist, forcing her to pick up her pace. She seemed to fragile to him, as if a something like a small gust of wind could snap her in two. Despite the fact she was so small she was able to hold herself well, showing that she had some strength in her tiny body. Somehow, Mika came to believe that Haru resembled Yu, especially at how Haru put her friends first just like Yu did. He quickly shook the thought. Thinking of Yu at this moment in time wasn't going to end well. He couldn't get distracted whilst dealing with a whimpering human.
"Please don't kill me," Haru whispered, her voice trembling. Mika suddenly stopped and looking at her, his hand still clutching onto her wrist. Haru's bangs covered her eyes yet Mika still saw the tears falling down her cheeks. She clutched onto her chest over her heart, as if it was aching. Mika gritted his teeth before choosing to release the human's wrist. Haru quickly looked up at Mika, her eyes glassy whilst tears continued to fall.
"Listen human, you aren't the only one with problems here," Mika hissed, staring down at Haru with a cold expression. Haru's eyes widened, taking a step back and cowering away from Mika. "I am currently trying to find somebody, a human, and I don't have time to deal with somebody an obnoxious human like you."
"I'm looking for someone too," Haru murmured. "Because of where I am now, I'll most likely never find him." Haru clutched tighter onto her chest, looking down at the floor as the feeling of weakness took over her. She felt a weak animal as she stood before Mika.
"Tell me, do you know anybody by the name of Yuichiro Hyukuya?" Mika asked monotonelessely.
Haru's eye widened as she quickly stared into Mika's eyes with a shocked expression. She raised her hand and pointed a finger towards him, "you know Yuichiro? His last name isn't Hyukuya, it's Amane-".
Mika suddenly growled. With quick movements Mika had pinned Haru up against the wall by her throat. She gasped for air whilst clawing at his hands whilst she struggled to breath.
"Do not act like you know him! Don't you dare correct him name as if you know him so well!" Mika hissed, his eyes dark and malicious.
Haru shut her eyes tight, wishing that this whole ordeal was but a dream. She attempted to gain some air but failed. "But... I do know... Him."
"You do not! All you humans are the same. You only use him. That's what happened to him last time," Mika said fiercely, tightening his grip on Haru's throat and blocking her airways.
"Please, if you... do know where he is... tell me. I'm his..." Haru's voice began to trail as her consciousness began to slip from her.
Mika growled before releasing Haru, her body dropping on the ground with a thud. She instantly began to cough, clutching onto her sore throat as she felt air fill her lungs. "You are nothing to him."
Haru furrowed her brows before she began to balance herself against the wall, placing her hand against the wall for support. She flinched as she felt appear bruises on her throat, she could only imagine how painful it would be tomorrow. If she even had a tomorrow. "You're wrong. I don't care who you are or what you even want with him, but I will not let you get to him!"
"Why is that?" Mika said, clenching his fists.
"Because..." Haru said, her voice quiet. "I am his sister!" She suddenly screamed, tears in her eyes once again.
Mika froze, his hands beginning to tremble. How hadn't he noticed before? She looked so much like him. Her hair was the exact same as his. Long, thick and she shared the raven shade. Her eyes, deep emerald with the slightest hints of blue. She even stood like him and acted like him. It was like she was his double. It must've been true.
Haru is Yu's sister.
Mika raised his hand, snatching Haru's wrist once again before pulling her down the corridors. His job at this moment in time was to get her uniform and prepare her for the next patrol for gathering livestock, the questions will have to come later.

At least this rewrite is a bit longer than the original, although it still is only 1k when the rest are over 2-3k.
I hope you guys now understand that Haru isn't a vampire. Sorry for the confusion I've caused. I'd also like to thank all who reviewed as I absolutely love reviews (except hate *awkward laughing*).
Esmereilda~ Glad you like the story so far. Thanks for the info on Haru's name, I like the meaning and it may come in handy in future chaps.
LivingTheSPNLife~ I have included Haru and Mika talking, although it wasn't as romantic as once would want. The Krul and Mako situation will be revealed soon. A chap to Haru's back story shall be included soon as it may clear up how Mako and Krul know each other.
LaughterLover98~ Sadly, Haru shall remain a human. I'm happy you like hary, personality wise she was inspired by Haru from Free! And Yu by the looks and way he cares for his squad. I hope you enjoyed fangirling over this chap?
JennAizawa~ I don't think the lovey dovey stuff will happen yet due to Mika being a hard character to work with, but it will come one day! You're right, Mika does deserve some loving. Thank you for your review (your English is great by the way).
Kawaihana~ Heres your update!
