A/N FINALLY, I THINK I'LL START POSTING MORE ON THE WEEKEND, SINCE I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF WEEKEND HW...ENJOY THIS WHILE I PLAY FIRE EMBLEM FATES...;]

"So, what a day, huh?" He, the black shadow said, yawning.

"Yeah, I first was introduced to a creep and a king, then I was covered in blood, humiliated by a dress, and to finish the day, I was saved by the king again."
I sighed.
"It's kind of amazing, now that I think about it…" He began, looking up at the clear blue sky of my mind.
"I can't believe monsters lived under our noses our whole lives."
"Hm…" I said in agreement.
He rolled onto his stomach and looked at me curiously.
"You have something more on your mind."
"Can't hide anything from you." I smiled.
"Soooo…" He inched closer.
"Alright, I'll tell you." I messed up his shadowy wild hair.
I then went on my back and stared at the sky.
"It's because he called me 'Yu-chan'….."
"…and according to him, that used to be his brother…right?" He finished for me.
I nodded.
"It sounds like your incident, doesn't it?"
"….I guess so…" I saw the sky fade to black and came to reality.
"…and I'm still here…" I got up, still in the same room as last time I woke up in this gloomy place.
That's when I spotted Mikaela sitting in the shadowy corner of the candlelit room.
"Hey, why're you watching me sleep like that creepy guy-lady?!" I launched one of thousands of pillows from the bed to him.
He caught it.
"…..I wasn't, I was just leisurely sitting here waiting for someone to call me…." He said, stoically.
The room fell silent, just us two staring at each other, waiting for someone to talk.
"Mikaela, tell me about your brother."
"….why….?"
"Because I'm bored."
"….will you tell me your story if I tell you mine…?"
"Sure, why not?"
He then got up and crept closer until he came and perched on the edge of his bed.
"….well I grew up in an abusive home, so much so, that when I was very young, my parents threw me out of a moving vehicle….that lead me to be taken in by an orphanage, where I was nurtured until my wounds of my past became scars that gradually healed….and a few years after my own arrival, on a snowy Christmas morning, we were presented with the gift of a new big brother….that's when I first met him, Yu-chan….." He was smiling, and his eyes seemed to have gained some happiness.
"….we grew up as the eldest of the children, so we occasionally took care of them when the caretaker wasn't there…..we also became the closest of friends…..but, that changed when we were 8 years of age….when….the world came to an end…that's when our family was captured by the vampires and brought here for 4 years….then, I plotted a way to escape, resulting in the death of everyone excluding me and Yu…..I was at the brink of death, yet I was glad that Yu got away….then, another 4 years later, we were reunited on the opposing sides of each other, and after some time, I soon started to fight alongside him and his comrades….and we fought long and hard until, finally the battle was finished, and we could live in peace….but the vampires were brought back down here and the humans began to rebuild…"
"And I assume you became king and ruled this place, right?"
"…Yes….but the thing is….I've been doing this for a long while…"
"Really? Let me guess it was about 20 years since that, right?"
He blinked owlishly at me.
Then, a light laugh came out of those quiet lips of his.
"H-have you done research on your city's history?" He snickered.
"What? What do you mean?" His amusement came to a stop.
"It's been a century since I began my rule." He explained.
"A century, 100 years."
"Oh…..wait…100 YEARS?!" I practically leaped out of bed, and almost landed on the ground before he got me, again.
"Yes, have you forgotten that I am a vampire, an immortal being?"
I turned away from him, feeling very idiotic at the moment.
That's when I felt a close warmness.
"Mikaela….?" I turned to face him.
"I guess there's something I also forgot to tell you…" He said.
He looked hesitant, I didn't really know why though.
Then, he scooted closer to me, his warmth coming into my space.
"….Yu-chan and I are also bound by blood, since he, in a way, gave his life up for me…."
It was silent for a long time, before he wrapped his arms around me.
"M-mikaela, w-what are you-"
"Please…forgive me…." He whispered before I heard the sound of a sheath sliding off something and a horrible pain in my stomach.
The world became a bright white until I saw him, the black figure from my head.
"It's time to wake up, Yukari…." It said, a dark mist surrounding it.
"W-who are you?!" I shouted at it.
"Aw, you don't remember me? What a shame…" He said as I saw a flash of white against black.
"What do you mean remember?" A long wispy tail of violet mingled in between the soft fog along with a bit of what seemed to be pale skin.
Then there was the sound of something being stabbed into the earth, and a whoosh as the blackness cleared.
There, kneeling on a long ebony and lime katana was a red eyed boy with what seemed to be a dress of snow and black along with gloves and long, light purple hair, with one large bang covering a rouge eye.
He warmly smiled at me, as if he had been awaiting my arrival.
"I'm your good old friend…." It leaped off the blade, not even moving it an inch.
"Asuramaru…"

*Mikaela*

I came back from the meeting, and was going back to my quarters to see how Yukari was doing.
When I went to my door, I thought I heard something coming from inside.
I quietly turned the doorknob and headed inside to see a sleeping Yukari.
I sat on the bed and watched as she slept, reminding me of when Yu and I were children.
Then, she started screaming in her sleep, making me jump a bit.
"Stop!….no…that's not…true!" I heard her yell.
"Yukari, are you alright?" I asked, worry staining my voice.
"Leave my head….alone!"
"Yukari, wake up!" I began to shake her gently, knowing my overpowered strength.
Her eyes shot open and she started gasping for air.
"What happened? Where am I?" She asked quickly observing the room.
"You're in my room, and from what I was seeing, you were having a nightmare." I explained.
She looked down at the blanket she was in.
"Mikaela…I'll tell you my story, alright?"
I was confused at what she said, but I nodded and she began.
"According to my parents, I was their only child, who looked odd in comparison to them, I had different hair and eye color than them. I grew up having a hard life, and I was homeschooled up until High School when I got enough money to pay the tuition fee since my parents couldn't afford it. That was my life, well, until they fell ill, then I took up a job as a treasure hunter so I could afford their medicines, but, one day, while I was out doing my chores, I came back home to see that they had died while I was out. And since that day, about 3 years ago, I've been living with foster families, saving my money up for college and other things like emergency money. One day I was sent to find an ancient artifact buried deep inside a cavern that eventually lead to you." I summed my life up.
"That's what you meant when you said that." He said.
I showed a slight smile….maybe I was opening up a little more around him.
There was a moment of thought.
"Um….Yukari…could I get a little closer…?" He almost whispered, a dust of pink on his face.
"….sure?"
He came closer.
We were quiet for an awkwardly long time before he inched a bit closer.
"I'm sorry…" He said, very quickly before bringing me close to him and placing a light peck on my cheek.
He had a red-hot blush on his cheeks as he stammered out something barely audible.
"A-aishiteru…"
