SHES'S ALIVE! LOL, guys. Sorry for the long wait. I'll update faster, I promise.
Mahiru gulped at the serious expression, body filled with fear. The man seemed to transform before his eyes, looking at him in anger. "W-What happened? I don't understand-wh-wha-"
A finger was pressed to his lips, stopping him mid-sentence. He looked into the mans' eyes, which seemed to soften at the child.
When it seemed that Mahiru calmed down enough, the man let out a long-suffering sigh. "This is such a pain…" He then raised his head to look at the child. "What you just did, kid, was form a contract with me." Mahiru tilted his head, eyes wide with confusion, "Contract? My uncle comes home with a lot of contracts. Did we make a deal of some sort?"
The man nodded, "Something like that. Let's start with my name, despite the fact that it's a waste of time. My name is Kuro." Mahiru giggled, "That's the same name as my cat. That's funny." Kuro sighed again, "Of course it is, I am your cat." A giant puff of smoke filled the room, and Mahiru gaped in amazement as his pet sat before him.
Kuro let out a barely-there blush at the look of awe the boy was giving him, and continued. "Anyway, you formed a contract with me and became my 'Eve'. And I became your Servamp." Mahiru looked at Kuro confused, "A Servamp?"
"A vampire servant."
"Vam…pi…re…VAMPIRE?!" Kuro rolled his eyes as the child ran into his closet and the door locked. "Why is it when someone hears the word 'vampire', they run away?" He transformed back into being a man, placed his hands in his pocket, he strolled over to the closet and knocked.
A muffled yelp of fright came from the other side of the door, and Kuro sighed, "And no, I'm not planning on turning you, killing you, or drinking your blood in any way." That got Mahiru to open the door, looking at Kuro with frightened, golden eyes, "R-really?" Kuro nodded, and Mahiru tip-toed out.
"W-what does an Eve do?" Kuro got down on his knees and continued in a gentler tone, "An Eve is a Servamps' master. They work together to help bring peace to the world from all evil." Mahiru looked down, "Would they help people get better and come back, like my mama?"
Kuros' red eyes filled with a strange understanding, "No, but they could prevent what happened to your mother from happening to other people."
Mahiru nodded, silently. He opened his mouth, but Kuro held out a palm, shadows in his eyes, "You're too young to be an Eve, kid. I can tell you want to be one." Mahiru wanted to protest, but all that came out of his mouth was, "I'm already your Eve, how do I get out of it?"
"Well, when I said I was your Servamp, I was based on what just happened. However, I haven't accepted you to be my Eve. As long as I don't take a taste of your blood for the next 24 hours, we should be good." Mahiru nodded, although inside he was disappointed. Losing his mother was the worst feeling in the world-if there was a way to prevent other kids from feeling this pain, why can't he be a part of it?
A knock on the door interrupted his musings and the poof of smoke appeared, turning Kuro into a cat once more. Mahiru walked toward the door, peering into the door hole. "It's some of my friends from school. They wanted to meet you. Is it okay if I let them in?" Kuro had gotten onto Mahirus' bed, yawning loudly. "I don't care. As long as they're quiet."
Mahiru nodded, opening the door. One boy with a wild mop of brown hair and another boy with spiky blond hair were at the door, looking at him in excitement. But what really caught his attention was the green and spiky hair teen. Mahiru gasped in delight.
The teen chuckled and held his arms out. Mahiru screamed, "Big Brother Sakuya!"
