It was a long night and apparently, Yuichiro became very exhausted from losing consciousness and regaining consciousness.
Mikaela and I told him to get a good rest, but he was being stubborn, so when I tried to encourage Guren, but he brushed me off.
Disliking that, I had approached Yu and swiped his shaking legs from tiredness from under him, then carried him to my room to go to sleep.
It wasn't shocking that the ravenette had fell asleep in my arms; actually, I found it cute.
~Time Skip~ ~?~
As I blinked my eyes, I found myself in that dreadful place again...my second nightmare, Sanguinem.
Looking around, I was confused at where I was, but I could tell it was night outside because the street lights were on.
"What's wrong, Sayomi?" asked a familiar child's voice as a small hand grabbed my..small right one.
Turning my head that way, my eyes met with cat-like, blue ones and curly sand blond hair.
It was Mikaela.
We were back in Sanguinem, before the unintended incident happened.
"Oh, uhh...Nothing, I'm fine. Hey, we should get back to the others. I don't want you being out here.." I said, glancing to see if there were any bloodsuckers around.
He laughed, Haha! Aren't I'm the one who's supposed to be saying that? Besides, we still have to look for Yu-chan," he said and pulled me along with him.
'Oh, yeah...How could I almost forgotten? I hope Yu isn't making a ruckus or we'll have to play it off for him again..'
"Hey, Sayomi...why don't you drink my blood?" Mika asked quietly.
Stopping, he stopped as well and turned to see an upset frown form on my usually calm face.
"I could never do such a thing, Mika. I want to protect you and our family, not make you all my prey. Though I can leave whenever I please, I won't leave you all to suffer and die. That's being heartless," I explained to him.
Mikaela made a small smile at me and pulled me into a hug, softly combing his small left fingers through my medium short hair.
Nuzzling his face into the left crook of my neck, he inhaled my scent, chuckling a little.
"You smell nice...like nature at its best," he complimented as I blushed.
"M-Mikaela, stop talking nonsense. We have to find Yu-"
A yell cut me from short distance.
Unintentionally, I pushed Mika aside and ran as fast as I could, which was as fast as a horse.
Speeding around corners in alleyways, I came down a sidewalk where I saw Yuichirou held up by the neck by a servant in a cloak.
"What you say, livestock?!"
"That's exactly what I'm not! I'm not livestock, you bloodsucker!" Yuichirou kept protesting at the servant.
I charged at the servant and pulled on the back of his cloak, "Please! Stop hurting him!"
"Urgh! Little brat!" he yelled at me and kicked his right leg back at me.
Stumbling backwards, I fell and looked up with a shadowed face as the servant was about to plunge his fangs into Yu's left side of his neck.
Adrenaline kicked in and I stood up, pulling a anti-vampire knife my father gave me from my hood just in case and I rushed at the servant.
Before the damage could be done, I cut the servants' back ankles and knee caps, making him drop Yuichiro as he screamed, falling down.
I plunged the knife in his back, getting blood on the front of my uniform, then pushed it through until it poked out from his stomach.
He crawled backwards away from me as I slowly approached him with my red irises that I made sure to conceal from Yuichiro.
"P-please! Spare m-me!" he begged for his life.
I frowned, "My, my, how the tables have turned. I would spare you, but you tried to hurt Yu-chan...*Smile* I can't allow that!"
With that being said, I grabbed the point of the anti-vampire knife with my right hand from his stomach and kicked him with my left foot over a ledge...
Where the river ran deep into a abyss, darker than black.
'...Forgive me, but that is the consequence you receive when you try to harm my family. Hopefully, you know how to swim. It'll be the only way for you to survive after you regains consciousness...' I thought as my eye color went back to normal.
"S-...Sayo...S-Sayomi?" I heard Yu's jittery voice call to me.
I turned around and looked at him for a while, then smiled, "I'm glad you're okay, Yu-chan..."
I could tell he was silently panicking because of the bloody knife in my hand, the blood on my uniform and the smile on my lips.
"Sayomi!" I heard Mika shout out my name before pausing in his footsteps, staring at me with wide eyes, "Wh-what...happened?"
I placed the knife back in my hood and approached Yu, "Don't worry, I took care of the problem," I said and embraced Yu, "Yu-chan...forget what you saw..."
After saying that, Yuichirou fell asleep in my comforting arms...
Never able to remember that memory unless I showed it to him or told him about it.
~? Ends~
My eyes shot open and I looked around frantically, sitting up in the gray sofa I fell asleep in.
"Yuichiro? Mikaela?" I called out to the two, still looking around the room.
A hand grabbed my left one, "Sayomi, it's okay. You were only dreaming..." said Mika's voice in front of me.
Looking forward, I saw Mika sitting in a gray sofa as well with a concerned expression.
Relaxing a good bit before slightly turning around in the sofa, I saw Yu yawning quietly, but staring at me with confusion.
"Oh...it was a dream...yet it was a memory," I said, trying to even my breathing.
"What were you...remembering in a dream-*yawn*..Sayomi?" asked a tired Yu.
"*Chuckle*..I looked like a yandere in that memory...It was a memory of Mika and I going to find you at night. I could tell the time of day outside of Sanguinem. When I heard you yell, I immediately ran to where your voice sounded..." I explained slowly and let the concealed memory reveal to him.
His eyes widened, "...And you took that vampire down as if he were hardly a challenge..." he finally remembered.
I nodded, "...Sayo, who is your mother exactly?" Mika suddenly asked.
I giggled for a few seconds, "...*Sigh* The nicest vampire you could meet. She was sweet and considerate to and of other's opinions. What she loved most...were humans because my father was kind and generous to her when they were children."
"Hold on. I'm confused. How old was your mom?" Yu said and asked in confusion, of course.
I smirked, "Let's just say...she wasn't exactly a child when she fell in love with my father...Her love for him was undying. I loved them both...but I was powerless when my mother was forced to drink his life away when the thirst was killing her after seven hundred years of resistance. He didn't want to let her die, so he sacrificed himself in the middle of October, so she could look after and protect me. Then...Krul Tepes set our home on fire at the end of October, as a warning to my mother to stop associating with a human. Little did she know that I saw her walking the opposite direction from my home in the woods and I immediately accused her. She didn't kill her, but someone else did...and I'm going to find out who..."
*Silence*
"Um...that's deep..?" Yu said, not sure how to respond to my story since he was a little mean to me the first two weeks at the orphanage.
"I know...Now that that secret's out, I have another thing to tell you both. We may have underwent experiments from the Seraph of the End project and lost little of my memory, but I figured something out in my unconsciousness."
"What is it?" Mika questioned.
"I didn't obtain the seraph at the orphanage nor when I left Sanguinem. I was born with it," I said, staring out the window to my left.
"S-say what now?!" Yu asked with interest and shock.
"My father...worked for an organization called the Brotherhood of One Thousand Nights. He was an experiment, and the cause of that misfortune and his lost memories...is Mahiru Hiragi."
"If that's the case, why did you tell Shinoa you didn't hate her sister?" Yu asked, sitting on the windowsill.
"..."Love the enemy," said the big I Am. I cannot bring myself to do it...nor could I ever bring myself to hate Bathory or my cousin, Krul. I was simply blinded by rage."
Mika didn't express any type of emotion, "..."
"Sorry..." Yu mumbled.
I tilted my head, "What for?"
He rubbed the back of his head with his right hand, "I've been mean to you for a few weeks when you first came to the orphanage...and I hadn't any idea you went through that..."
I chuckled, "Okay? I guess I should be sorry, too, because I've never told anyone this."
"I have another question. Why were you so observant at Hyakuya Orphanage?"
"Well, I had to fit in somehow, but..." I looked to Mika, "A certain blond wanted to be curious and called me out on not hiding my fangs well."
He perked up at that, then looked away, "...I couldn't help it. It was human curiosity..."
"By the way...Ohime-sama-tachi and Chimei-tekina are my parents' katanas. My Mother's is originally Shinsetsuna Chimamere no Joō: 'Kind Bloody Queen'. Ohime-sama-tachi was just a nickname. Speaking of that, they are puzzle pieces to the past. Ohime-sama-tachi: 'Princesses', Chimei-tekina: 'Deadly', Hantei: 'Judgement' and Batsu: 'Punishment'."
"Who are these 'Deadly Princesses'?" Mika questioned with narrowed eyes.
"It's referring to Mahiru Hiragi and me..or my mother. One of them were judged and punished, but...the one who fought the enemy wasn't supposed to, got punished instead..."
'I'm sorry that I can't help you remember. It isn't written in the prophecy..I created...with my eyes seeing into the future...'
I inwardly smiled, 'It's alright.'
"Okay, let's go train!" I said and got up to walk to the door.
~Tiny Time Skip~
After Yu had his breakfast and I grabbed a quick bagel with whip cream as a topping, we went outside to see the others waiting.
I took a bite from my bagel, 'It would've been a nice morning...if I hadn't known the world's sly image is simply an illusion to disguise the catastrophe and destruction..'
"You ready, Sayo?" Guren asked me.
I perked up and finished my bagel, "Ready! But...Yu, I'll show you some pointers in hand to hand combat before we get started."
He tilted his head, "..Okay?"
Turning my feet a bit, I ran at Yu with accelerated speed and he threw a punch at my gut.
Catching his right fist with my right, I pulled him pass me, kicked in his right leg from behind and used his fist to flip him backwards.
When Yuichiroo made contact with the ground, he grunted and opened his eyes, frowning at me.
"Could've gave me a warning!"
I smirked, "There's no warnings on the battlefield, Yu. Now, get up..."
"Th-that was amazing. How did you do that?" Yoichi asked me.
"It's a simple move my mother taught if I was in close range with my opponent," I said and faced the now standing Yu.
This time, Yu ran at me, taking advantage of unguarded spots I created for him.
Taking ahold of Yu's left shoulder, I did the same move my mother did, which was swinging kamikaze-like on his shoulders.
Wrapping my legs around his neck, I flipped him forward by forcefully reaching towards the ground and front flipped over his crashed body.
"Okay! I dislike your way of fighting! Teach me how to do that!" Yu said angrily, cracking bones as I he both stood up.
I giggled, "It's simple for me, but it'll take a year for you to master those techniques."
"Y'know what? I'm tired of being your punching bag just so you can laugh at me! Mika, you go against her!"
Mika responded by looking away with a poker face, "..You're on your own.."
"Wow..." I said and giggled afterwards, "Hehehehe...Anyway, let's go again."
Yuichiro groaned, but got up.
(This chapter was kinda short since I didn't have many more ideas for it...oh, well *shrugs*)
