{I was planning to follow an episode but because I want to increase the amount of chapters, I dismissed that idea quickly. }
Haru walked quickly through the halls, her heels tapping against the crimson carpet. She had been summoned to see Krul and she was currently following a young boy. She was surprised how he had survived to live in these walls. Perhaps he had offered to serve Krul in order to get better ration. Probably, probably not. Haru was fully aware of the poor living conditions the livestock were forced to endure. Everyday they'd eat the same thing- boiled leaks and if you were lucky, a couple potatoes. However, she was also aware that some children offered their blood to nobles in exchange for better things from some kind of black market. She children walked quickly in front of her before the small boy knocked on the loud door and opened it hesitantly. The boy bowed before Haru and then lead her inside before leaving.
"Haru," Krul said in a mildly bored tone. She was sat lazily in her chair with her legs crossed and seeming very relaxed. Mika stood beside her and stared directly towards Haru. She hadn't seen the blonde man since her little break down at the last mission- which about three days ago. She didn't dare go ask Lactus or Rene as to where Mika was, and she would rather kill herself than ask Ferid- who constantly offered to drink her blood in exchange for giving her some freedom. Willingly, she declined the offer, fully aware that if she disobeyed Krul then Kurama would be the one to suffer.
"You called?" Haru began to walk forward, gaining closer to the Queen as she wore a cold expression. She could feel Mika staring at her. It was probably because he was still lacking the correct amount of blood, so his instincts were probably going crazy and his emotions were all over the place. Haru quickly took her gaze to a small vial that was rested on the arm of Krul's chair before she glanced back into Krul's read and merciless eyes.
Krul stood and then looked at Mika, "leave us be, Mika."
Mika nodded and walked past Haru, not even sharing a glance with her and Haru made no effort to look towards him. The human girl and vampire queen remained in a silent state until Mika had shut the door with a loud bang. Krul smirked in the silence of the room, walking towards Haru with a hard and amused gaze.
"I bet you're still wondering why I am forcing you to work for me?" Krul asked, circling Haru. Haru refused to speak instead choosing to stare at Krul and wait for her to continue. "I wanted Mika to have somebody to talk to."
"And yet you saw me as a suitable person for that dream to be fulfilled?"
"I want Mika to grow closer to a human and drink their blood," Krul said softly, staring at Haru's sword. "I don't want him to feel the pain like Mako did." Haru gritted her teeth and clutched tightly onto Mako. Krul let out a faint laugh, "It must be hard, knowing that Mika is going to end up just like Mako," Krul said, raising her hands and cupping Haru's cheeks. "That's why, I want you to try to persuade him into drinking human blood. It doesn't have to be yours."
"How will I have to do it?" Haru asked, raising her brow. She must admit, she felt sorry for Mika. He was basically dying inside and slowly becoming a demon all because he didn't want to become something that Yuichiro hated. A vampire.
Krul let out a smirk and Haru yelped as Krul was suddenly digging her long nails into Haru's wrist, drawing a long stream of blood. Haru's body trembled at the sudden pain and she could feel Mako shaking in his sheath, yet she mentally ordered him to leave it be. Krul suddenly held the vial in her hand and raised it to the cut, saving as much blood as possible until she let go of Haru's arm.
"I plan on making an enchantment with your blood. I cannot tell you what it is exactly," Krul said sternly, placing a cap on the vial and tucking it into her sleeve. "Now, I want you to go with Mika and complete a mission. I'll only tell you this, you will be seeing your companions again."
"Lieutenant General Hiragi," Aoi Sangu said seriously as she walked closer to the general. He stood proudly whilst on the porch, watching as his men worked hard and prepared for the next coming battle. The General turned and furrowed his brows as Aoi pushed two youngers soldiers forward. Kureto raised his brow, walking to the soldiers and looking at their faces.
"Jered Mitoshiba and Rin Yukita," Kureta pulled his blade out of his sheath and pointed it towards the soldiers who trembled violently.
"It seems they have a request," Aoi said, looking towards her clipboard in her hands and checking through some notes. She could see from the corner of her eye as the young girl known as Rin stood up straight, her short red hair flowing past her cheeks and resting by her jaw- it had obviously been a freshly cut style from the way the style was so sharp. Jered clenched his jaw and rested his hand on Rin's shoulder. Jered ran his free hand through his messy brown hair and swallowed hair on thin air.
Rin cleared her throat. "I'm sure you may be aware of the recent attack on vampire territory and that we have lost two soldiers, both of which are in my squad." Kureto continued to stare down at her, seemingly unimpressed by Rin continued anyways whilst donning a serious expression. "I wanted your permission to borrow some men and go search for both of my comrades-"
Rin cried out and landed on the floor after Kureto reacted quickly and hit Rin around the face. She fell to the floor and felt tears well up in her eyes whilst she placed her hand on her reddened cheek. Jered ran to his comrades side and stared darkly towards Kureto. "What the hell is your probl-"
Kureto pushed his blade against Jered's neck, staring down at him with a look of dominance. Jered's breathing hitched and he held his breath, feeling some sweat trickle down the side of his head. He knew the rumours were true; Kureto was a blood-thirsty freak who obsessed over obedience.
"You want to borrow my men for two soldiers?! That's absolutely pathetic. This is war! We have no time to mourn over friends. Those two soldiers are most likely dead. Forget about them," Kureto turned around and looked back towards his working men, hearing them yell orders to one another as their muscles burned whilst moving some heavy cargo. "Aoi, have these soldiers placed in solitary confinement until further notice."
Aoi nodded and clicked her fingers, causing two soldiers to grab Rin and Jered and pull them away. "Please! Haru is a very significant soldier!" Rin cried, reaching her arms out to Kureto as she attempted to free herself, but it was no use. "Haru Teron! The only living experiment from the Teron Trials!" Rin called out before her voice was cut short as the doors slammed shut.
"Mika? Are you Ok?" Haru said softly, walking down the hall and finding Mika leaning against the wall as he hissed to himself. She reached her hand out hesitantly and walked closer to the vampire- who seemed oblivious to Haru's presence. She saw Mika tense suddenly and he stood up straight, causing Haru to flinch. She saw him turn and gasped as she saw his face. His eyes were dark and bloodshit, bags were under his eyes and he was extremely pale. It was as if he had been tortured.
"You don't want to be near me if you want to continue living," He said darkly, attempting to walk away but falling to his knees. Haru called out his name and ran to his side, placing her small hands on his shoulders. Mika hissed and her and pushed her back. She wasn't sure what to do. She was aware that Krul planned on doing some kind of enchantment, but, had she already done it? Mika was acting like he was going through a lot of pain and all Haru could do was watch from a distance.
Haru furrowed her brows, moving back to him and trying to help him once again but with Mika's vampire reflexes he had pinned her up against the wall. He gripped her small wrists with one hand and held them above her head, ignoring her cried as she tried to kick him back. He pushed one of his legs between hers and pinned her closer to the wall. Their chests touch and Mika could feel Haru's loud heartbeat in her chest. His eyes were cold and emotionless as he tilted his head, edging closer to Haru's neck. He opened his mouth wider and wider, inhaling deeply as his teeth were close to her skin.
"You bastard!" Mako called, appearing out of nowhere and punching Mika, causing him to fall to the floor. Haru fell to her knees and clutched onto her chest as she breathed heavily. She was sure she was a goner. Mika rose to his feet and wiped the small trickle of blood from the cut on his lip, which healed quickly afterwards. "Haru is my territory, and if you so much as think of drinking her blood then you'll definitely have to face me!"
"I don't think it's correct to claim Haru as your own, especially when you're nothing but a lowly demon," Mika said coldly. He growled as Mako lunged forward, clutching onto Mika's neck as the two clawed at each other. Haru backed into the wall, watching as blood poured onto the floor from both the demon and vampire.
"Please..." Haru said with a trembling voice. "Stop this..." Both of the men ignored her, continued to fight one another with clenched fists and baring their sharp teeth. Haru looked around desperately. Of course nobody was going to be around. She caught sight of a metal candle holder, that fortunately was lacking the candle. She ignored how pretty it was and grabbed it, raising it above her head and slamming it downwards. She flinched as Mako hissed and fell backwards after the holder hit him in the chest. She tried once against to hit Mika but before she could react, Mika had caught her wrist.
"From now on, it seems I have been bound to you. I am craving your blood, but Krul had forbid it."
Super short and terrible chapter. Sorry for the lack of updates. I haven't really been in an ONS mood. I was planning to follow a chapter but then I noticed how short the fic is already so I was like 'what the heck?' And I didn't want you guys to read such a short story.
