NeoGamer93: Thank you, friend. I hope you keep reading.
Please enjoy the second chapter.
Clara, Ameri, Elizabetta, Kerori and Narfa moaned as they opened their eyes as the rays from the sun danced on their faces. Clara yawned before she sat up and looked around. Her eyes widened as her breathing quickened, "I-Iruma-kins! Iruma-kins, where are you?"
"Baby-Chan? Why are you shouting this early in the morning?"
"I slept next to Iruma-kins last night and now I can't find him…what if he went out and that man saw him and killed him or-"
"I'm here, Clara," the five looked back to the furthest corner to see Iruma leaning against it, "I had to move before the sun rose…sorry to worry you like that, Clara…but I told you some of the basic rules of Vampires last night," Clara breathed a sigh of relief before she slightly smiled and nodded, "A-anyway…can I ask you five something before I go to sleep?"
"Only if we can ask you something first," Ameri said and Iruma nodded, "Last night…you said that silver harms Vampires and the reason for it was messed to humans…what exactly do you mean by that, Iruma?"
"Silver…it dates to the final days of God's Son, Jesus…one of his followers…a man by the name of Judas, sold him out for thirty pieces of silver and had him arrested. Many wanted to free Jesus, but Judas as well as some guards paid the crowd and told them that wanted to free a well-known killer, a man named Barabbas and to have Jesus crucified and…that's what happened.
After Jesus's death, Judas realized what he had done and threw the silver back at those who had paid him to betray Jesus, telling them to keep their blood money before running off to find a sturdy tree and hung himself…but God wasn't so merciful that day and declared silver as an Blessed element of Righteousness and to harm all unholy creatures that dare crosses its path since it was that that caused the wicked heart of man to kill his only son…so…that's why silver can hurt Vampires…hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it can harm demons too,"
The room fell silent before Kerori cleared her throat, "So…that's an interesting story…now what was your question?"
"Right…the raw meat will most likely run out before the end of the weekend…and…I need blood in order to get stronger and win in this upcoming fight, so I was wonder-"
"If…one of us would…be like a donor?" Narfa questioned.
"No…I appreciate the gesture, Narfa…and…if one of you do want to offer me some of your blood…I'd gladly accept it, but…no…I was going to suggest I go out hunting for some wildlife and if one of you would like to accompany me?"
The demonesses looked at each other before looking at Iruma and Ameri shook her head, "You're not going out there this weekend, Iruma…if you need some blood…one of us will give you some of ours, but until you're ready to fight that other Vampire, we think it'll be best if you stay here,"
"But I don't have to fight him until-" the five narrowed their eyes and Iruma swallowed hard before lowly nodding, "Uh…okay…thank you," they nodded as Iruma yawned and laid back against the wall, "Well…I'll see everyone tonight," Clara frowned as she watched as her best friend drifted off to sleep before she and the others turned and walked out of the room.

The five stepped outside and felt the warmth of the sun and Clara frowned, "What's wrong, Baby-Chan?" Clara looked at the big sister of her class as Elizabetta tilted her head to the side in confusion, "What's wrong? You seem upset,"
"Iruma-kins won't be able to feel warmth anymore, Nee-San…he won't be able to play with me anymore, he won't be able to feel cold…Iruma-kins saved me last night and I don't know what to do," the four frowned as Clara hung and shook her head, "It's my fault Iruma-kins is like this…he's like this because he saved me last night,"
"Stop it," Kerori sighed and Clara looked up, a small frown painted across her lips, "You know Iruma better than anyone here and you know he's not one to hold a grudge against anyone, least of all you and Asmodeus," Clara hummed, "He's very forgiven and…and…wait…because of all that happened last night…did anyone remember to ask Iruma how he went through a Wicked Phase?" the air between them grew still, "If he was human…how did he go through that?"
"I…maybe humans have those too?" Narfa suggested and the others looked at her, "We don't know much about humans…should we ask him?"
They looked back towards the door before Ameri shook her head, "Let him sleep…we'll ask him tonight," the others nodded before Ameri, Elizabetta, Kerori and Narfa turned and began walking away, leaving Clara alone as she continued to stare at the door and frowned before stepping back into the cabin.

Iruma tossed and turned as he slept before his eyes shot up and he sat up, panting, "Iruma-kins?" he looked up to see Clara beside him, frowning, "Are you okay? Did something happen?"
"I'm fine, Clara…it's just…I need to get used to the venom and my new sleep cycle…where are the others?"
"They went out…I…I-" tears started falling down her cheeks and Iruma's eyes widened, "I'm sorry Iruma-kins…it's my fault you're like this…you saved me and now…now you're like this!" Iruma hugged her as she cried into his shoulder and he rubbed her back, "I'm sorry, Iruma-kins,"
"It's not your fault, Clara…I chose to save you because you're my best friend and I wasn't going to stand there while you got attacked," Clara lightly sobbed as Iruma continued to comfort her, "I don't blame you for this, and I'm sure grandpa and Opera don't either, so you shouldn't blame yourself like that, okay?"
"Okay," Clara sniffled as she straightened herself up, "Thanks Iruma-kins," Iruma nodded before he yawned and Clara pulled him closer to her and placed his head on her lap as she rubbed his head and smiled, "Get some sleep, Iruma-kins…I don't want you getting hurt," Iruma hummed and nodded as he closed his eyes and Clara smiled down at him as she watched him sleep.

The four demonesses stopped in the opened field and looked around with narrowed eyes and frowns, "I wonder where that damned Vampire ran off to last night," Ameri thought out loud.
Elizabetta hummed before she spoke, "You've been quiet since we left, Baby-Chan, is everything-" she looked back and her red eyes widened, "We lost Baby-Chan!" the others looked back in surprise to see Clara was nowhere to be found.
"This isn't good," Kerori shook her head, "If we go back with no Clara, Iruma might get angry and there's no telling what an angry Vampire would do,"
"Calm down…we'll call her to find out where she is," Ameri took her phone out and dialed a number before holding it up to her ear, "Where are…what do you mean you went back inside?" Kerori, Elizabetta and Narfa looked at her in confusion, "You could've waited until tonight to do that…don't tell me you woke Iruma up,"
"No, Iruma-kins woke up on his own. He looked like he was having a bad dream…we talked for a bit, I told him I was sorry, he told me not to blame myself and then he fell asleep," Ameri sighed as she shook her head, "What's wrong, Lady Redhair?"
"Nothing, we're on our way back…don't wake Iruma," she ended the call and put her phone away, "She went back to the cabin…she said that Iruma looked like he was having a rough time sleeping…they talked and…let's just get back," the others nodded as they turned and walked down the dirt road.

Entering the cabin, they saw Clara sitting in the corner with Iruma's head still resting in her lap. Looking up, Clara shook her head, "Iruma-kins is sleeping…please be quiet," the four breathed a sigh before Ameri walked over to them and Clara looked up in confusion, "What's wrong, Lady Redhair?"
"Just…let Iruma sleep for now…he's going to have it rough these next few nights and I don't want to think about what will happen if he loses that-"
"Iruma-kins will win…he just has to…he won't lose," the room went silent as Clara looked at the sleeping Iruma and frowned, "I mean…what's going to happen if he loses? Will he be killed? Iruma-kins can't-"
"If I lose, I'll have to leave with the one who turned me," they jumped back and looked down as Iruma opened his eyes and sat up, "Don't worry…none of you woke me, I'm just trying to get used to the new sleep cycle…but yeah, if I choose to fight the bastard and lose, I'll have to leave and join his Clan."
"And…and what if you don't fight, but you have a reason to stay? Like your family…or mate? Would you get to stay then?" Kerori questioned.
"If I find my mate before the fight and that bastard sees that I care for them and that they care for me, he'll leave me to form my own Clan, never to bother me again…but…if he sees even the smallest amount of doubt, we'll have to fight…part of me wants to find my mate so I can avoid this, but another part of me knows that finding her before the fight…it's almost nonexistent." The demonesses frowned as Iruma sighed and laid his head down on Clara's lap, "But for now…I'm going to sleep…I'm sorry," the five continued to frown as they watched as Iruma closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Elizabetta took a deep breath as she crossed her arms and looked away, "I'll say what we're all thinking…none of us wants Iruma to lose this fight," the others hummed and nodded in agreement as Clara stroked Iruma's hair, "But how are we supposed to help him? We don't know much if anything about Vampires,"
"We can help him train as well as get him some more blood," Ameri suggested, resting her index finger and thumb on her chin, "But I'm not sure if that will be enough…he has the power of the Gluttonous Feeder Ring,"
"And Lord Sullivan gave him some of his magic," Kerori noted, "But we don't know if magic has any effect on Vampires, and it if does, we don't know what kind of effect," everyone looked at the sleeping Iruma as Clara continued to stroke his hair, "And we don't know if he'll know or not and we should let him sleep,"
"Right…we should talk in another room while he sleeps," Elizabetta said before looking at Clara, "Let's go Baby-Chan. We should let Iruma sleep for a while an-" Clara moaned as she shook her head, "What's wrong?"
"I'm not leaving Iruma-kins alone…he shouldn't be alone," Clara frowned as she hung her head, "He never leaves others alone when they need help and I'm not going to leave him by himself,"
The room fell silent before Ameri took a deep breath and walked over to her and saw down beside her, "You little idiot…but if you're determined then we all might as well stay here with Iruma," Narfa walked over to them and sat next to Iruma.
Kerori inhaled slowly as she shook her head, "I still want to know how he went through a Wicked Phase, but to make sure nothing happens, I guess I'll stay here too," she walked over to them and at down next to Narfa.
Elizabetta frowned before sitting between Narfa and Ameri, "Hopefully he doesn't wake up again until tonight…and maybe we can try to convince him to let us help him with this fight,"
The others nodded in agreement, "Can't…help," they looked down with wide eyes as Iruma talked with his eyes still closed, "No one can help me fight…if they do, I'll automatically lose and be forced to leave…if you want to help train me, that's fine…but no one can fight with me,"
"Please Iruma-kins…try to sleep," Iruma hummed as the demonesses watched him with slightly narrowed eyes.
This might be the simplest chapter in this story, and it's only the second chapter. Please enjoy.
