We were starting our next mission underground in Omotesando Subway. Shinoa was explaining what we are to do.

'When in the human world, do as the humans do, so...I can't wait to unleash hell. Wait..is that a humanly thing to say or think..I hear Yu say it sometimes.'

"And don't get separated from the rest of the team. Got it?" she clarified and questioned us, expecting answers.

"Sure!" Yu said with determination.

"Mhm," Kimizuki hummed.

"Yes, ma'am," Yoichi said with respect.

"All right," Mitsuba grumbled, but agreed.

"Okay," I replied.

"Then, let's destroy those vampires!"

~Tiny Time Skip~

"Everyone, stay attentive," I suddenly spoke up.

"The vampires are away and sleeping," Yu informed again.

"You can never be too cautious. That girl from yesterday, she was lying to us. She tried to set us up in a trap," I explained.

"What? Why would she do that?" Shinoa questioned, seeming weary of my opinion.

"She did it to protect the ones she love, her family. I know that look anywhere. I knew...how it felt to be in such a predicament."

"How did you know she was lying?" Yoichi questioned in curiosity.

"The truth lies within the eyes," is what my mother and father used to tell me.."

Silence settled in again for a little while, that is, until someone in a white cape walked by.

"Get ready to attack! Draw your weapons!" Mitsuba ordered.

Everyone did as she told, but I remained unarmed, deciding to not use her on a low ranking vampire I can easily kill.

"Let's kill him before he calls his friends-" Yu cut her off by passing her and charging at the vampire.

'Reckless as always,' I thought, shaking my head and sighing.

"You idiot! I told you not to take independent action!" Mitsuba lectured him angrily.

'If Yu takes independent action and misses, I'll be there to help him out when he least expects it,' I thought and got into a fighting stance.

Yu pulled Mitsuba out of the way and before another vampire could strike, I swiftly moved in front of the two and kicked him into a wall.

Let's just say...my sharp heel went into his face and made quite a mess.

"You let your guard down, Mitsuba," I told her and stood back on my feet.

Ignoring the conversation as I saw blood seeping from my right boot's heel, I narrowed my eyes.

'Disgusting. It's not worth sipping,' I thought as I listened to Mitsuba question Shinoa about Yu, Kimizuki, and me.

"Those two are Lt. Col. Guren's favorite. Problem children who suck at teamwork. That is probably why he had you train them, don't you think? As for Sayo..."

Pretending I wasn't paying attention, I scrubbed my boot against the ground, trying to get as much blood off, though I could hear her.

"Lt. Col Guren recruited her right away when she entered Second Shibuya. I don't know a lot about her, but she's..not ordinary. Marked by an angel? I nor the Lt. Col. have no more info on that matter. All we know is that she was a slave to the vampires, knew Yu, escaped, and somehow probably got separated. We don't know where she went either. Then, perhaps got recaptured again? It's so little info, but so difficult to figure out."

"Why not just ask her? I mean, she looks approachable..from what I can see. She didn't even draw her weapon when ordered," Mitsuba asked, then commented.

Stretching, my eyes widened when I noticed a couple of nearby presences.

"Mitsuba, look out!" I yelled to her.

The windows behind her were smashed out as vampires came out. Mitsuba was grabbed by the neck, and clawed at his hand to get free.

"Heh, humans are despicable creatures. When a friend or a family member is taken hostage, you don't hesitate to turn in you own brethren."

Mitsuba no longer kept struggling to get free, "Damn it! I'm done for! Forget about me and f-"

"Enough of that crap! How many times do I have to repeat myself?! I won't abandon my team mates! I'll come to your rescue!" Yu shouted in frustration.

I was about to take action, too, umtil some grabbed me into their arms, holding a knife against my neck.

"Move, and you're dead."

I noticed Yu glancing between Mitsuba and I. He was torn...torn on who to save first.

I slowly nodded, letting him know I can handle it. I'm half immortal after all...in a bad and good way.

Yu ran to Mitsuba, slicing each vampire down that got in his way. Mitsuba kept protesting, but in the end, Yu successfully saved her.

Seeing Yu hold Mitsuba the way he did stirred some type of emotion I have yet to discover, but I brushed it off.

Feeling the knife press tighter against my neck, I stiffened.

The vampire jolted, looking at the stream of blood that was sliding my neck as Yu glared at the vampire.

"The scent of your blood...That is the unmistakably scent of-"

Elbowing the vampire in his stomach, I ducked as one of Yoichi's arrows shot through his arm.

While being unbalanced, I kicked his head into the ground, causing his head to be smashed in.

Not having enough time to react, I felt arms catch me from behind since I was about to fall.

Looking up, I saw Yu. "Are you okay?"

I nodded, "I'm fine."

'Oh, how I wish I could last forever in this moment in your arms, but now isn't the time for that.'

"What was said earlier...'Humans are despicable'? Ready to betray their own brethren just to save a family member who's been taken hostage? Humans would do anything to save their family."

When Yu said that, I looked down in shame, thinking of turning Mika into a beast in human form...in his last moments of life.

"They're ready to die, and turn themselves into devils and demons. If that's what you meant by despicable..."

When Yi said that, I looked down in shame, thinking of turning Mika into a beast in human form...in his last moments of life...

"They're ready to die, and turn into devils and demons. If that's what you meant by despicable..."

The left side of Yu's fave turned into a purple flame of sorts, which made me curiously amazed.

"Then, tremble in fear as this human kills you...Vampires!"

Yu and I stood back to back, 'Even now, you still loathe vampires with a burning passion. Does that mean...you hate me?'

~Small Time Skip~

We exited Omotesando Subway Station after killing the vampires.

The girl we saw yesterday noticed us and ran towards me and Yu with tears in her eyes.

"I-I'm sorry...I-I..."

"You were only trying to protect you family. That's all," Yu comforted her with a smile.

"B-but..."

"You did the right thing. You don't need to apologize," he said, patting her left shoulder.

"And I said to smile, not the opposite!" I complained while poking my lips out.

She stared at us for a while in uncertainty, but slowly smiled up at us, "O-okay!"

"What the hell?!" a man's voice yelled.

We looked in the direction to see a man complaining about killing the vampires and what will become of them due to that reason.

"D-Dad.." the girl mumbled.

My eyes slowly widened in terror, '..Sacrifice...Father...k-killed..'

~Flashback~

Playing in a room that was connected to mine where I kept many plushies and teddy bears, I hears my mother call me from downstairs due to my intense hearing.

At hearing her voice, I smiled and stopped playing with my favorite teddy bear and went down the white staircases of our pure white home at an inhuman speed due to due to excitement.

Coming around the living room corner, I saw my mother and father sitting on the couch. When she looked at me, I could classify the emotions in her eyes: upset, anger, uncertainty..."Sweety, remember how mommy said she needs blood to survive, like you do sometimes?" my father asked me, hiding his sadness."Yes. Is there something wrong?"

They looked at each other with anxiety on their faces, and my mother nodded, then they looked back at me. "Mommy's going to drink my blood in order for her to live, so she can take care of you."

"Okay...?" I replied, still not understanding.

"You see, Sayomi, I..haven't had an extreme amount of blood over several centuries in order to make the human world not know much of vampires' existence," she explained.

It took a while for me to read between her words, but I came to a quick realization as my eyes widened in fear.

Looking back up at her, I saw her eyes were a deep hue of crimson red that resembled a bloody sunrise.I turned to my father, "Are you...going to...die, daddy?"

He didn't respond. He and my mother kneeled down to me and hugged as I silently cried. "Go..go back upstairs, Sayomi. We don't..want y-you to see this..." my mother spoke, trying to not choke on her words.

After a few more minutes of hugging them and hesitating, I let go of them and turned away, no longer feeling the excitement I ran downstairs with.I stopped in my footsteps, "M-Mommy, Daddy, I..love you both, no matter what you do. One day..."

Turning around, I let more tears stream down my cheeks and tried to smile as if everything will be okay.

"I'll try..very hard...to find a way to turn vampires into humans."

~Flashback Ends~

Opening my eyes, I felt a tear slide down my right cheek, then quickly wiped it away with my right hand.

'What I said back then...is it even possible to turn a vampire into a human? No, I can't start doubting myself now. I've come too far to do that..'

"Sayo, are you okay?" I heard Yu ask me, staring at me in concern.

I waved my hands in front of me, "Y-yes! I'm fine! No need to worry about me!"

Smiling at him and hoping he would believe me, he 'hmph'ed and leaned forward, getting close to my face.

He smirked, "So if I kiss you again, you won't pull away? And if you do, that means you're lying?" he whispered.

Blushing at his request, I took a step back, then turned around and ran away to a tent for recovery items.

"I won't give you the chance again!"

(This is a different ending than my original story on Bookwriter because I thought it would be a little boring.)
