A10riddick: Thank you. I've got something planned for that one.
Please enjoy the next chapter.
The small group of six walked down the road in silence as the night wind blew past them. The demonesses looked at one another before looking at Iruma and Elizabetta spoke, "Iruma?" the undead teen stopped and looked over his shoulder in confusion as the five frowned at him, "You're going to have to come back here tomorrow night to fight the one who did this to you…and then you'll have to leave…no matter what,"
"What do you mean by that?"
"If you lose, you'll have to stay with the bastard, if you win, you'll be off to find your mate, right?" Ameri questioned and Iruma sighed as he slowly nodded, "So…no matter what happens, you're going to have to leave, right?"
"I…I don't know when I take on a mate…and the venom chooses my mate, it decides who is worthy to carry out the Vampiric life…anyway…you five contacted your families and asked them to meet at the mansion, right?"
"We did, although it's going to be nearly impossible explaining to my parents, especially my father, how a demon was turned into a Vampire when that never happened in the entire history of the Netherworld," Ameri sighed as she shook her head, "It was hard enough to convince my father you were a demon the first time, but now they're going to know you were human,"
Iruma hummed and nodded, "Iruma-kins?" Iruma turned to his female best friend and arched a brow as Clara frowned and tapped her index fingers together, "W-when you find your mate…you're going to have to go away and we won't be able to play anymore, would we?"
"Don't be so sure about that, Clara…we don't know what'll happen tomorrow night," the five demonesses frowned as Iruma sighed and looked ahead before he began walking away, "We better get back to the mansion before your families start to worry an-"
"What did you mean by that?" Iruma looked back in confusion as Kerori stepped forward, "When you said the venom decides who is worthy to carry out the Vampiric life?"
Iruma took a deep breath as he turned around to face them and rubbed the back of his head, "The venom chooses my mate…it picks the one who it believes can…continue my family name…in other words…my mate will bear my children," the demonesses stared wide eyed and red faced as Iruma inhaled slowly and shook his head, "We better get going…like I said, everyone is probably worried," they silently nodded before Iruma turned and the six of them began walking away.

The six sat across from their families before Ameri's father Henri looked at his daughter with a hardened expression crossing his face, "So, not only did you lie to me about Iruma not being a human, but you were also meeting with him in secret an-"
"I know father, and I'm sorry for that, but right now Iruma needs help training and prepare for this fight tomorrow night and none of us wants to see him leave, so he has to win,"
The adults looked at Iruma in confusion and Iruma sighed as he shook his head, "When a human is turned into a Vampire, they'll act like a newborn for three days and on the fourth day, they'll have to fight the one who turned them. If they win, they'll be free to live their life as they're please and whatever, if they lose, they'll be forced to leave and join the Vampire's Clan…there is only one exception to that rule and that's if I find my mate…my significant other, but the odds of one finding their mate before the fight is nonexistent, so…that rule is…pointless,"
Henri narrowed his eyes at the Vampire before his wife placed a hand on his shoulder and he looked back in confusion, "Marissa?"
"We can't send him back now even if we wanted to." She took a deep breath and shook her head, "We have no idea how humans treat Vampires, so he will remain in the Netherworld posing as Lord Sullivan's grandson," she looked at Iruma and narrowed her eyes, "Boy, as you know, Vampires can't turn demons, so your identity of being human will be known soon enough, but how did you get down in here in the first place and how did you come to be a Vampire?"
"Uh…long story on getting down here…but um…the Vampire that turned me was going to bite Clara, and I didn't know Vampires couldn't turn demons at the time, so I pushed her out of the way and got bit,"
Clara's father, Ryan, looked at Iruma with narrowed eyes before Clara stepped in between her father and best friend, "Daddy no, Iruma-kins saved me," Clara looked at Iruma and smiled, "Iruma-kins saved me before that Vampire could bite me…he's been my best friend since we met. He's really nice to me and plays with me all the time,"
Clara's mother, Aleena slightly smiled at her oldest daughter, "That's nice dear, but Iruma," Iruma hummed and arched a brow in confusion, "If Lord Sullivan is your grandfather, why not just ask him to help with this fight? Why did you ask all of us here?"
"Yes, I'd like to know as well, grandson," Sullivan crossed his arms as he, Opera, Clara's parents, Ameri's parents, Elizabetta's parents, Shinji and Kotori, Kerori's mother, Sherri, her grandmother, Nina and Narfa's parents Yuki and Yuno stared at Iruma.
"Uh…reasons…reasons that I don't know yet," the adults stared at him, "What?"
"Iruma," Ameri sighed and shook her head, "That was the worst lie ever…why did you want our families to help you with this fight?" Iruma sighed and shook his head, "Iruma?"
"Look…I need as much help as I can possibly get right now, and since you five know I'm a Vampire, we might as well tell your families about this…and see if they can help," the families looked at one another before looking back and nodded, "Thank you, that means-" before he could finish, he jumped back as Henri tried to punch him, "What the hell!"
"There is no fairness in a fight, Iruma," Henri hissed through his teeth, "Strike quickly and you'll end it quickly," the other adults joined in and began trying to attack Iruma as Iruma evaded the attacks while Clara, her siblings, Kerori, her siblings, Elizabetta, Ameri and Narfa watched from the sides.
Iruma jumped back as Shinji tried to kick him, "Okay…timeout!" the adults stopped as Iruma turned and walked over Elizabetta as everyone stared at him in confusion, "Elizabetta, do you mind if I drink some of your blood?" the adults stared with wide eyes as Elizabetta softly smiled and held out her arm before Iruma carefully sunk his fangs into her skin for a few seconds before pulling away and smiled, "Peaches and cream…thank you, Elizabetta,"
"You're welcome, Iruma,"
Iruma began wrapping Elizabetta's arm before looking back and smirked, "Okay, time in," he ran towards the adults and began fighting them as they began to fight back.

Iruma panted as he sat on the roof of the mansion, watching as the nocturnal creatures flew across the night sky, "Damn…but I need to push my limits if I want to win tomorrow,"
"You're determined to win, we'll give you that much," he looked back to see Elizabetta's parents standing behind him, "But we'd like to ask you a question boy…while we were fighting, you called timeout and walked over to our daughter before asking for some of her blood…not that I'm complaining or anything, but why didn't you just take some?"
"It's simple, Mrs. Ix…I refuse to take anyone's blood without consent…this weekend I've had some of Narfa's blood, some of Kerori's blood and some of Elizabetta's blood…I know tomorrow night is going to be challenging, and the girls wanted to help fight the Vampire at first, but if anyone tries to interrupt the fight, I'll be declared the loser and will have to leave,"
"And you're trying to avoid that, huh?" Shinji questioned and Iruma slowly nodded, "Well…we'll be cheering for you, kid," Iruma hummed and nodded again as Elizabetta's parents turned and walked back into the mansion, leaving the Vampire alone.
Iruma took a deep breath as he frowned, "Hey Ali…do you think this extra training should help tomorrow?"
"Well Iru-boy, given the fact that you trained with high ranking demons tonight…it depends," Iruma groaned as he looked at the specter beside him, "I'm not going to say you're going to win and get your hopes up if you fail, but I'm also not going to drag you down and say that there's no chance of you winning this fight…you have me by your side, and that Vampire should know a thing or two about demon artifacts, you have the Chair-Demon's magic stored in the ring as well as that one spell he taught you…but you should use it as a last-ditch effort…and you seem to get stronger with the more blood you drink, so that could help you as well,"
Iruma sighed and looked towards the night sky again, "If that's the case," the two looked back to see Ameri approaching them, a small frown painted across her lips, "Then why don't you drink some of my blood tonight as well, Iruma,"
"Ameri-"
"Elizabetta's parents told everyone how you refuse to drink another's blood without consent, and I'm giving you my consent…so…drink some of my blood, Iruma," Iruma inhaled slowly and nodded before Ameri held out her arm and Iruma sank his fangs into her arm and Ameri winched in slight pain before Iruma pulled away and cleaned up Ameri's arm.
Iruma looked up and smiled, "Strawberry ice cream…thank you, Ameri," Ameri smiled as Iruma sat down and Ameri sat down next to him, "Uh…shouldn't you be going to bed? You have school tomorrow and you're the president…if demons see you tired, they're going to slack off,"
"I'll be fine, Iruma, losing an hour of sleep isn't going to hurt me…but Iruma, I do have a question," Iruma hummed, "Say you do win…you won't be able to come to school during the day and we won't be able to read First Love Memories anymore…what are you going to do?"
"You and the girls can come over and I'll read to you," Ameri looked at him with wide eyes as Iruma sighed and shook his head, "You, Clara, Kerori, Elizabetta and Narfa have been nice to me all weekend and your families have helped trained me tonight…plus Clara's one of my best friends and I feel bad about abandoning her and Azz during our reading sessions…I'll give them a summary of the plot, but I'd like the others here as well,"
Ameri sighed and shook her head as she hugged her knees to her chest, "I don't know what I was expecting from you. I guess it can't be help. We'll invite the others to our reading session after you win,"
"Don't you mean if I win?"
"No Iruma, I mean after," Ameri took a deep breath and stood up before she turned and began walking away, "We all know you're going to win no matter what. We'll be watching the fight and cheering you on," Iruma slightly smiled and nodded as Ameri stepped back into the mansion and Iruma turned his attention to the night sky again.
Please enjoy everyone.
