Notes Hello! I'm a new writer to AO but this isn't my first fanfic rodeo, I recently left Fanfiction.net becuause I wasn't happy with how the website works an dhave found more inspiration and positivity from the writers on here. So i'll be transferring a lot of my old work from the anime's Soul eater and Pandora Hearts onto here over time. Though my main anime I write for is Owari no Seraph! I have over 40+ stories in the works all between one-shots to multi- chaps, Fluff to angst to just pure yaoi trash. So if you have any suggestions or would like to see me write any of your ideas, don't be afraid to message me! Thank-you and I hope you enjoy the first chapter of my story. See the end of the work for more notes ***** Ignored? ***** Chapter Notes See the end of the chapter for notes The sun shone down hotly onto the training field, dust and debris getting kicked up from either bodies colliding with its surface or a manifestation from another soldier. Squad leaders walked the perimeter with eyes scanning each and every demon weapon wielder carefully, ready to correct any flaws or mistakes. Of these soldier’s was the Shinkansen squad practising with their new found teammate, Mikaela Hyakuya. Thanks to Yuu, he’d been allied with their squad and the Japanese Imperial Demon Army for a few months now. Since Mika was one of the creatures they hunted he stepped up to train the humans to properly fight vampire’s. To nobody's surprise the squad quickly grew stronger and much wiser against the undead enemies, and mission success numbers started overwhelming that of defeats. Guren couldn't have been happier with the outcome; and Yuu was glad to see his dearest friend warming up with his family. Shinoa stood watching the blonde dueling against cursed black demon series wielder Kimizuki Shihou, who was holding up well against him. However Mika figured out his few weaknesses early on, parring one of Shihou’s swords causing his arm to swing behind his shoulder. Mika spun around behind the taller man’s back and bringing his own sword up, swung the flat end down onto Shihou’s shoulder blade. The strike ended their dual then as Kimizuki sheathed both swords onto his hip, as he turned to Mika who’d done the same. “Start watching that Kimizuki, i've successfully used the same attack on you for a week now” the blonde said flatly. Kimizuki could only nod knowing the vampire was right, it couldn’t be helped though since itd become one of the mans bad habits. The lavender haired scythe wielder walked out to the two men before she wrote their sparring reports onto her clipboard. “Mika’s right Kimizuki, that’s going to get you in trouble out on the field, please try to keep a mental note about it at training tomorrow morning.” The girl sighed as she tucked her clipboard under her arm restarting the timer that hung around her small neck. Turning to the rest of her squad who looked utterly exhausted from the intense workout they'd been at before the sun even rose. “Alright guys, pack it up we’re finished for the day”, she yelled almost chuckling at their looks of relief. Shinoa looked up to Mikaela who’d been standing in the same place he’d been, “thank you for your hard work as always, you’re an incredible teacher to them you know”. She smiled and began walking away, not noticing the softened look on the vampire’s face. Considering he’d been in the vampire city for the last four years, praise was something he was still getting used to. Kimizuki had kneeled down, grabbing his uniform jacket and bag slinging them onto his shoulder as he chugged down the remaining water in his canteen. His eyes falling to the smaller male next to him who was knelt down to fix his boot, Yoichi, feeling the others stare, lifted his eyes to meet the strawberry haired man’s. This lasted but a second before Kimizuki’s gaze darted anywhere other than those round olive eyes. Shaking his head as if the motion would somehow make the thought leave his brain if he did so hard enough, he growled, stomping off towards their barracks. Yoichi could only watch sadly as his friend’s figure faded away until it disappeared around the corner. This behavior had been going on for a little over two weeks now, and Yoichi couldn’t get it out of him what was going on no matter what approach he took. Kimizuki had always been a very stoic, level headed guy, well most of the time until Yuu pushed his buttons then he was quite the opposite. He’d seemingly been avoiding even being around the little brunette if he could help it. He barely spoke to him and when they did they’d exchange few words and Kimizuki would look at anything but Yoichi. He couldn't help but notice the pinkness that came to his comrades face whenever he was around him. “Maybe he's ill and doesn't want anyone to know” Yoichi said lowly under his breath, leaning against the concrete wall enjoying the coolness of the shade. Yoichi was relaxed up until a sudden voice made him jump in surprise. “So the damn telephone pole’s acting weird around you also then huh”, Yoichi whipped his head to the right seeing Yuu. His arms were crossed over his tucked in dirtied dress shirt, two buttons near the collar undone and his sleeves rolled to his elbows, revealing his sun kissed skin. The raven haired young man was staring off in the direction Kimizuki went until his gaze fixed onto Yoichi. Something in Yuu’s question had caught Yoichi’s attention though, “huh, wait what do you mean by you also Yuu-kun?”. Yoichi’s eyebrow raised as Yuu looked behind him a little towards Mika who was speaking to Guren and Shinoa about two-hundred yards away. When they departed and Mika faced their direction, the blonde’s eyes quickly darted down, both noticing the blush kissing his cheeks as he quickly left the field. Yoichi’s attention was snapped from the vampire hearing a low growl from his green eyed friend, who held a look of irritation. “Mika’s been doing this to me for two weeks now and the bastard won’t tell me what’s wrong” Yuichiro huffed with obvious frustration laced into his words. Yoichi brought a hand to his bicep rubbing the sore muscle whilst looking down to the ground in thought. “Really, Kimi’s been acting so strangely for i’d say two weeks also, his cheeks are always red so I thought maybe he’s sick and doesn't want to worry anyone”. Yoichi confided into Yuu, whose head shook in disagreement. “Nah, that idiot wouldn't bother hiding if he was sick, he’d just huddle up in his room until he’s better” the katana wielder groaned. Yuichiro looked like he was having a mental war in his mind as Yoichi studied him, his eyes were distant and he wouldn’t stop fidgeting. Being around the hot headed teen he’d been able to pick up these little things about him and each of his friends over time. Yoichi’s shoulders slumped in defeat hearing Yuu’s words knowing he was right. “Yea, you’re right Yuu-kun, but if it’s not that then what is it, I just want to help him but whenever I try and talk to him, he seems to find a way to get out of it”. Yoichi’s eyes downcast when he felt Yuu’s stare as he continued, “if it’s something I did I wish he’d just tell me so I could correct myself and apologize”. Yuu stepped closer to him putting a hand under the archer’s chin to tilt his face back up to his own. “Hey now, don’t go blaming yourself for that dumbasses stubbornness, we both know he isn’t exactly an open book, but still” Yuu dropped off his sentence. Looking for what he was trying to say when Yoichi brought his own hand up to hold Yuu’s. He smiled as the ravenette snapped out of his own thoughts, “we can’t do anything and it’s really frustrating?”. Yoichi asked as he saw Yuu nod, before he stepped away, grabbing his uniform jacket from the post it’d been hanging off. Yoichi gather his belongings as well beginning to walk alongside the training grounds with Yuu, mindful of the other soldiers still training. “Honestly why don't those two get their heads outta their asses already, at this point they're just straight up ignoring us you know” Yuu grumbled, throwing his jacket over his shoulder. Yoichi nodded, feeling the stares from members of an unknown squad taking shelter in the shade along the wall. As they began passing Yuu looked out seeing Guren and his squad training, simultaneously meeting his Commanding Officer's eyes. Their own pace quickened as they saw the Lieutenant Colonel walking in their direction, yet Yoichi couldn’t help the blush forming from what they heard as they passed the other soldiers. “Finally we get some eye candy on the field, hot damn” was slurred followed by some grunted yes’s. “Hell yea, I could watch those asses all fucking day man” Yoichi looked up to Yuu who held a look of disgust but even his own cheeks betrayed him. Wishing that Guren would hurry along, “just ignore them Yoichi their nothing but a bunch of manwhores” Yuu growled, putting a hand on his lower back to usher the shy male along. The others heard Yuu’s comment and catcalled, only for Yuu to glare back when he’d heard “aw don’t worry Hyakuya, I ain’t talking about just the cute little brunette”. Yoichi felt himself being pushed behind Yuu as he stopped, turning his body slightly to face the offending group of men. “Why don't you fuck off, stop being lazy bastards and actually train instead of sitting on your asses watching everyone else” he snarled. Yuu groaned when he recognized the squad leader, Kagari fucking Kuroi the man who’d constantly been harassing Yuu for the last few years. Pushing himself off the wall he'd been leaning on, he looked back to his buddies who continued catcalling. “Feisty little one as always aren’t you baby, just how daddy likes em” he purred walking towards them, the comment alone made Yuu shudder. Seeing the larger man approaching, Yuu guarded himself in front of Yoichi with a hand on his sword's handle as he readied himself for the impending fight. However the threatening action only seemed to excite Kuroi, “Oh come on, he’s not too shabby but that ain't the one I was talkin to sexy”. Yuu’s wrist was grabbed as he was crushed against the wall finding himself trapped in those muscular arms, his rear flush against the towering mans front half. Feeling a sudden rage throughout his body yet he couldn’t help but panic, realizing the physical advantage the other had on him by sheer size alone. He felt himself shuddering when a tongue licked his ear, “daddy will fuck that feistiness right out of you doll face, I promise” he growled into Yuu’s ear tightening his already iron grip on the struggling teen. The raven haired namanari heard cheers and god knows what from Kuroi’s squad, as a heated blush spread on his face and down his neck. Feeling completely appalled by everything, he started thrashing when the other leaned in more and hissed. “Don’t even act like you're not getting turned on just imagining me pinning you down and fucking the living shit out of you. Taking you over and over wrecking your precious cherry, because I know behind that attitude is a good little cock slut, right Yuu-chan.” Yuu’s wide eyes started tearing up in a mix of anger, fear and embarrassment, as he cussed himself out hearing a surprised squeak slip past his lips. The feeling only worsened when something started to harden and twitch against his ass, his body tensed from the wetness of the tongue and the large hand encasing his hip and ass. Moving him forcefully to grind his plush hindquarters against the other’s crotch, making him want to hurl at the feeling and he grabbed the other’s arm, attempting to pry it away. “Come on sweetcheeks, just give me some of that ass already and i’ll leave your cute little buddy alone” He drawled out, as his hand moved from his ass, squeezing a cheek as his fingers traced between them. “For now anyways” he said darkly, harshly diving to grab up between his legs, his thumb pushing at his clothed entry roughly, making Yuu half moan half squeal at the feeling. His body shook in surprise and he heard Kuroi’s laugh and random cheers behind him, “get fucking off me damnit!” Yuu screeched. Just when Yuu thought he couldn’t take anymore, and started turning his head to tell Yoichi to run, there was a deafening crack just to his left. Looking up he could see a sharp black and red katana gouging itself into the cement wall just above his shoulder. In the corner of his eye he saw Yoichi's surprised face covered by a red and black uniform. His gaze traveling up to two angry, pin pricked amethyst eyes, and he could practically hear the man’s teeth grinding as white hot fury radiated off him. “Get your grubby, disgusting fucking hands off my Special Private this instant, I should go straight to your Commanding Officer and refer you to military suspension for sexual harassment you dirty little fuck!”. Guren screamed out viciously, Yuu knew the other was frightened as he could feel him shaking, the hold on his torso was quickly released as he held his hands up in surrender to the Superior Officer. The soldier kept looking into Guren’s fury filled eyes, the black haired man grabbed Yuu, yanking him behind himself. Pulling the weapon out from the gaping crack in the wall with little effort, as he pressed the katana firmly to Kuroi’s throat. Looking as if he was seriously contemplating whether to end the fearful man’s life right then and there. “I, i’m incredibly sorry Lieutenant Colonel Ichinose p-please forgive me, I didn’t know he was one of your’s” the man said with eyes locked on the blade. This only made Guren lash out, narrowing his eyes intensely, “bullshit you didn’t” Kuroi jumped at the harsh tone. Trying to back up only for Guren to hastily step forward, and to halt any further attempts, Guren’s foot rose kicking him back against the wall.     A crowd of once training soldiers gathered around along with Guren’s own fastly approaching squad. Colonel Goshi placed a hand on the man’s shoulder surprised to find it shaking from anger, “calm down Guren there’s no need for violence” he said firmly, and at that Guren lowered his weapon. Looking back to a fuming distraught Yuu for a moment before looking forward again, “what’s your Commanding Officer’s name Private!”.     Guren and Goshi both glared angrily at the young man who looked ready to shit himself as he stuttered, “m-my Commanding Officer i-is Lieutenant Colonel Sugani sir’s”. The two superior’s looked to each other briefly before Guren stomped forward grabbing onto the soldiers collar and yanked him along. Before turning his head back to his two Special Privates, “we’ll talk about this later you two”.     With that both men began escorting the offending soldier towards the main headquarters building, the two teens knew Guren was only a few minutes from making good on his threat. The crowd dispersed after a few curious glances towards the two green eyed boys before Yuu turned back to Yoichi’s wide eyes.     “Yuu-kun are you okay!” the little brunette nearly cried out in worry, making Yuichiro smile even through his anger. “Don’t worry Yoichi, creeps like him aren’t anything I can’t handle but are you alright, you look really pale” he said worriedly. The other quickly nodded, about to reassure his comrade when he was stopped by the sound of a throat being cleared.     There stood Second Lieutenant Sayuri and Colonel Mito who’d gotten their attention, “are you two alright after that?” Mito asked as she placed her hands behind her back. Yuu bowed his head slightly in respect before answering his Superior Officer, “yea we’re fine, just the everyday creep, it’s nothing new”. Sayuri’s eyes widened a little at his comment, “how many times has this occured now?”     Both cursed gear holders looked to each other briefly before groaning, “more often than we care to acknowledge”. Both women looked to each other stuck somewhere between mortification and shock as Mito whipped her head back. “I’m going to safely assume you’ve reported none of these instances to Lieutenant Colonel Guren, correct” making Yuu inwardly groan and look down as Yoichi blushed.      “Guren-sama is so swamped with paperwork all the time we didn’t want to make him do anymore than he does”. The two older women looked to each other conflicted until a few yells from some soldiers on the field caught their attention. “We’ve got to attend to that, please explain this to Guren when you see him tonight, okay” the red haired woman said before running out to the fields with Sayuri in tow who’d glanced back worriedly.     Yuu groaned again rubbing his temples before they continued their way back to the military hummer they’d taken to get to the training grounds. Yoichi looked out to the landscape as they cleared the entrance gates of the enclosed field. Watching military vehicles driving along, soldiers bustling to and fro and cadettes jogging in position behind one of the many Drill Sergeants.     Yuu pulled out the keys for their own parked two door hummer, and unlocked it, hopping in as he turned the key in the ignition drawing a few glances from the loud motor. Pulling away from the curb carefully, he slowly began to drive along the small road, weary of the amount of soldiers.     “It’s just one after another for us isn’t it, Yuu-kun” the archer laughed a little, watching his friend roll his eyes as he made their first turn. “Yea, as if dealing with the two dinks wasn’t hard enough, I don’t even know how to get through to those dense fuckers at this point”. Yuu groaned stopping at a stop sign waiting for people to cross. Yoichi looked over to him, “there’s gotta be something, even if i’ve only know Mika-kun for a few months, I know he wouldn't normally act like that around people, especially you”.     He heard Yuu sigh a little, the rest of the short car ride was silent as they parked, leaving the keys in the ignition for the next people to use. Making their way up the stairs to their barracks and opening the glass doors, they scanned their I.D’s on the black tablet by the elevator’s and entered the steel box. Yuu leaned back bumping his head against the wall of the elevators interior listening to the soft beep for each floor, until the twin doors slid open when they arrived at level six.      The boys seemed to get more exhausted with each step down the clean and calming tan colored walls of the hallway. Passing the command center and tapping the large touchscreen, entering in their names, badge number, previous destination and time of arrival to the dorms. After they left, they slunk down the hall, passing a couple lounging areas then their study and library room, to the semi-open dining room.     The sounds of their footfalls caught the attention of a certain bow clad girl who peeked out from the kitchens doorway. Once seeing the two boys she glanced into the kitchen before looking back to them. “Hey, I heard about the incident down on the training grounds, are you two okay, I mean what on earth happened” she asked with a hint of worry in her tone. Walking out in her apron she leaned against the door frame watching Yuu as he kept walking right past her, noting his tensed shoulders.      “If you're so curious just wait until Guren comes busting in here, you’ll hear all about it” he moaned. Making Shinoa arch a brow at the taller male and her gaze fell to Yoichi who was looking at Yuu’s back. “Where and why is Guren in this story?” she hesitantly said, Yoichi began following Yuu since his own room was just across from his. “He and Colonel Goshi took the guy to his Commanding Officer to recommend him for military suspension”. Suddenly Mitsuba came darting out in the same attire as her squad leader, “woah wait what both Guren and Goshi, how bad was it that they both are bringing that guy to HQ”. Yoichi stopped, looking at Yuu as if trying to decide whether to tell the girls, watching him unlock his bedroom door, slamming it shut behind him. He then met two pair of eyes and sighed, “some really big guy from another squad was groping and pinning Yuu between the wall and himself when he was defending me”. He sat down at the dining room’s table with Shinoa, noticing that Narumi, Mika and surprisingly Kimizuki were standing by the doorway listening in. “There’s more to the story isn’t there kid” Narumi murmured crossing his arms in detest, looking pretty pissed off by the news. “Well, the guy kept saying really perverted things to Yuu-kun and one really made him angry or scared because he really started to struggle, it took Guren’s sword to his throat before he let go of Yuu-kun”. Yoichi and Mitsuba looked over to Mika when they heard him growl as Yoichi talked, his red eyes locked to the brunette waiting for the rest. Yoichi played with his hands as he recalled the events, “well I don’t know if he was licking Yuu-kun’s ear or was biting his neck from the angle I was at. But he grabbed Yuu-kun’s hip and butt and was making him grind against his crotch and was grabbed between his legs.”. Everyone’s eyes widened at the tale, and Mika slunk back into the kitchen fuming at himself for letting that happen to his Yuu-chan. The thought alone made a deep seeded fury start boiling up in his stomach, the thought of anybody other than him touching Yuu-chan. Mika stopped, rubbing his forehead realizing just how deep he’d dug his grave for Yuichiro, the boy who could make his heart both beat erratically and stop. Mika had always been a bit protective and clingy with Yuu when they were kids at the orphanage, and in Sanguiem. However, four long years that felt like twenty passed without him, and it’d sunken in just how much he needed the other. His longing for his dearest friend grew, it grew into a compulsion, a need that was equal to that of oxygen itself. So since the day they were reunited with each other he’d barely left his side, until these feelings a few weeks ago started. The blonde couldn’t even look at the smaller teen without causing this massive gut wrenching feeling to rip through his abdomen. The fantasies of him and Yuu being more than just friend’s overtook his thoughts every waking hour, they only worsened when Yuu was hit on by others. It would drive the vampire insane as he felt utterly possessive over the raven, how dare they attempt to seduce someone who was already claimed! Yuu-chan was his damnit yet still, the flirting never ceased and he wanted so badly to just lay physical claim to the small teen already to the point it almost alarmed him. To take his sweet little friend and show him the new and exciting world of pleasure as he took Yuu’s small curvy body for himself over and over……. Mika was snapped back to reality when he felt a hot tingle shoot down his spine into his lower extremities which started feeling uncomfortable in his tight briefs. Quickly darting out of the room thanking whatever gods were above that everyone else was too engrossed in Yoichi that they didn’t see him. Shutting the door to his dorm room nearly panting now as his hand ghosted down past his stomach laying against his belt. Locking the door did he go and sit down on his bed, leaning against the wall it lay flushed against. Undoing his buckle and zipper, the opening allowing the large tent in his briefs to be released as he sighed at the relief. Running his hand slightly over the clothed member he shuddered as his fingers pulled the brim of the dark fabric down just enough to pull out his member. The brief thoughts of his sweet Yuu had his cock standing tall and ready, ‘if only it were waiting for Yuu-chan’, he thought to himself. Biting his lip he brought his hand to the drooling tip, smearing precum on his hand and stroking downward slowly, softly groaning at the contact. He started with a slow steady rhythm, moving his hand down then up the shaft, stopping just under the sensitive head. Wanting to prolong the release and enjoy the brief time he could let his fantasies free and he shut his eyes. He bit his lip hard, as he thought of his hand belonging to Yuu’s, he could just imagine the smaller teen sitting between his spread legs, with a soft blush on his round sculpted face. His bright green eyes clouded over in lust, gazing longingly at Mika’s erection, as he looked up to Mika from his knelt position and stroked him faster. His free hand reached over to the bedside table and opened it, searching blindly for a small bottle. Pulling it out he stopped his ministrations, flipping the cap open and poured a generous amount of the clear lubricant onto his open palm. The thick fluid was brought to the dark red mushroom head, and Mika’s eyes slammed shut imagining his lubed up warm hand was Yuu, taking him into his eager wet mouth. He rung his fist around the tip, rubbing his thumb over the slit before sliding down to his balls, fantasising the raven haired teen deep throating his cock. The strokes progressively got faster as the knot in the blondes gut began to tightened, causing sweet chills to radiate down his legs and up his spine. Mika’s teeth clenched as he slouched further down the wall, flattening his feet on the ground, the hand that’d been wrenching his shirt up moved to cup and rub his swelling hot sack. The sensationally dirty thought of just a blow job turned quickly into lacing his fingers into those raven locks and fucking Yuu’s innocent face was pushing him to his end. Both hands were now pumping the throbbing penis harshly from the head, slamming down to his balls. Mika was shaking as he could only imagine the look on Yuu’s face being choked by his girthy cock, a mix of shocked, aroused and pleading. Yuu was stubborn but he knew Yuu-chan would melt and bend to his will when his buttons were pushed. God, to just have the smaller teen do anything he demanded, right away like a good boy made him shudder in utter ecstasy and his dick harden even more. Wanting Yuu to be his, to submit, to be one with him and to love being owned, to be Mika’s lover, his toy, his pet. The last strewn thought made him imagine pinning Yuu down on his bed, with his legs up on his shoulders, and Yuu in nothing but a black leather collar. Presenting Mika’s name proudly on a metal tag rhythmically clanging against a bell with every thrust. His grip around his cock tightened as he felt the coil in his gut ready to snap any second now, his eyes tightened as his breathing grew harsher. Sucking in air fast through his nose, did he see Yuu looking up with pleading teary eyes that just begged him for more. Mika’s thrusts ripping moans from Yuu as he grabbed him and cried out, “please I can’t take it anymore, god just fill me to the brim with your cum master!” That’s what pushed Mika to the edge as his eyes snapped open and his orgasm ripped through his body making him gasp. Four long heavy ropes of white flowing out as his back arched up from the intensity stroking himself through it. The tender flesh slowly softened in his hand as he laid there in the afterglow, taking a few moments to come back down to earth. Before sitting up and grimacing at the mess on his hand, shirt and pants now as he leaned to grab a tissue from the nightstand. Wiping up his hand and getting up, putting his member back in his briefs he pulled on some pants. Tugging off the dirty shirt to straighten out the black long sleeve undershirt he’d been wearing, throwing his clothes into the basket by the door did he sigh.     The blonde knew that his fantasies had a good chance of becoming a reality if he’d just fess up and tell Yuu how he felt already. Though every time he looked at the dark haired male his mind would take a sharp and rather perverted left turn into lewd land. Between Ferid and Lacus in four years they filled his head up with rather…...detailed questions and scenarios; involving what he could do to his princess when they were reunited again. Shaking his head he left his bedroom to see Yoichi coming down the hallway and the little brunette gave him a soft smile.     Mika nodded back to him and turned his head, watching him go to the last door to the left before the corner and knock on it. The door opened after Yoichi announced his presence and he walked in, rounding the corner he saw Shinoa prancing down the same way as well. Not even knocking as she waltzed right in, making Mika sigh at the girls antics.       After finishing his story, Yoichi decided to go and check if Yuu was alright, seeing as he’d been moody after they got on their floor. He walked down the hallway, watching as the door to Mika’s bedroom opened and said boy came out with fresh clothing. Thinking he must’ve stained them from cooking earlier he smiled to the blonde and happily noticed he got a small gesture in return. Even something as minute as that made the littler brunette glad, being just a month ago he would’ve gotten a glare instead. He was happy that Mika was starting to open up to them but it was all really thanks to Yuu’s hard work.     Speaking of the raven he softly knocked three times on the grey metal door not hearing any sort of response he tilted his head a little. “Yuu-kun it’s me Yoichi, can I come in or are you busy”, almost immediately the door opened and he was met with a more casually dressed Yuichiro. “Come on” he said softly, and Yoichi smiled walking in and closing the door behind himself following Yuu to his bed. Yuu sat against the wall his bed was pushed up against placing a bookmark in the open book and replaced it on the small shelf on his headboard. “I was kind of gonna ask you something but figured you won’t want to answer it in front of the others, um did you know who that guy was Yuu-kun” Yoichi stammered. He watched Yuu tensen and dart his eyes slightly until he opened his mouth, but Yuu’s voice wasn’t the sound that came out, it was his door opening. Looking up revealing Shinoa who held a ‘we’re-talking-now-weather-you-like-it-or-not’ look on her face. Sighing as she marched over to the bed occupied by the two boys. “Alright Yuu, I want to hear this from you rather than Guren so cough it up, what happened down there.” She said matter of factly making Yuu groan out knowing he wasn’t getting out of it, “it was just Kuroi again, what’s new”. Shinoa’s face bent into an array of emotions but overall, she looked annoyed, “he usually doesn’t try anything physical with you though, what was different this time?”. Yuu just shrugged his shoulders and crossed his arms, “hell if I know what his deal was, I didn’t even know he was there until we’d already passed him, for once I didn’t say jack to him”. Shinoa mulled this over a bit when they all three looked up hearing the door open again to, surprise surprise!      “Hey brats” Guren said flatly, closing the door and leaning up against its frame, crossing his arms over his broad chest. “What do you want Guren” Yuu mumbled out leaning up more to face his Commanding Officer, “well figured you’d wanna know what happened to Kuroi” he said straightly.     He took Yuu’s silence as a yes and continued, “well, as of tomorrow at five in the morning he’s under two-week unpaid military suspension, meaning he can’t even be on any military property either so don’t worry about running into him”. Yuu nodded slightly relieved to have a small break from the taller man, “however, that’s all I could get myself alone, his Commanding Officer said he can face up to three months if I have a statement from your point and a witness explaining what happened”.     Guren looked over to Yoichi then, “meaning you can help Yoichi, you were a direct witness so you can back Yuu up, I need to know word for word what he said and did for this to go through understand”. The purple eyed man said sternly, plopping a large orange envelope down next to Yuu who immediately took it, opening it to some paperwork. “I filled out my portions already, I just need you to finish it and I can sign it and bring it back up to HQ before they leave and get it processed.” He explained, watching the younger siphon through the white pamphlets carefully when Guren shifted his weight. “So you two, place me where it started and just walk me through, what exactly happened” he said looking straight at Yuu, Shinoa moved to lean up on Yuu’s desk and Yoichi looked to the raven. “We were just leaving and saw you so we started to walk over towards your squad’s training, and we walked past Kuroi’s squad who was against the wall.” Yuu said, looking to Yoichi. “I hadn’t seen you yet but I heard the guys against the wall just whistling and making inappropriate gestures. Then one of them said they were glad to finally have some eye candy and they could watch our ass’s all day” Yoichi said blushing. “Well I heard them and told Yoichi just to ignore them and grabbed him to move faster away from them, then one of them said they weren’t just talking about the cute little brunette. So I whipped around and told them to fuck off and to get back to training instead of sitting on their lazy asses”. Guren nodded, “yea, I think I saw you yell at one of them but I hadn’t heard too much of it really”.     “Yuu grabbed me by then and threw me behind him” Yoichi muttered as Yuu continued, “that’s when I saw Kuroi and grabbed at my sword when he started walking to me. Then he was like, feisty one aren't you babe, just like daddy likes em” Yuu mockingly imitated, the sentence taking Guren and Shinoa back a little.      “Well that’s when he grabbed me and pinned me between the wall and him and started grinding himself on me and touching me. Saying how he wanted to fuck the attitude out of me and that I was a good little cockslut that actually wanted him to do this”. Yuu started blushing as well, looking to Shinoa’s wide eyes, surprising him.     “I told him to get off me and he started grabbing up between my ass, and grabbed at my dick and all, then he was licking my ear, but then you stepped in at that point” Yuu muttered off embarrassingly. Guren nodded, looking still expectantly at the two boys as Yoichi looked up to him, “um, is there something wrong Guren-sama”.     Guren nodded, “Mito and Sayuri told me something pretty interesting, do you want to tell me or do I need to drag it out of you two” he almost growled. Yoichi jumped back a little at his harshness but Yuu remained unphased, used to the older man’s tones by this point. “What is there to tell you, you clearly already know so why do I need to repeat it” Yuu droned, narrowing his eyes slightly.     Guren quickly pushed himself off the wall clenching his fists and looked down at Yuu, “because I have a good feeling today wouldn’t have happened if you would’ve reported earlier instances to me like you're supposed to Yuichiro” he yelled, making Yuu clench his teeth and bolt up standing a mere few inches from the elder. “Oh what, am I supposed to come crying to you when someone looks at me wrong Guren, I haven’t dealt with any creeps I couldn’t handle! You’ve even told me to deal with my problem’s by myself and only involve you if it’s urgent, so why are you so fucking anal about it now!” Yuu yelled at the Lieutenant Colonel.      Guren only laughed at him mockingly, “Oh yea Yuu you handled him really well pinned against the wall, you’re strong but you're still a small sixteen year old kid. Kuroi’s a giant twenty one year old, compared to you he can beat you down by his size alone!” Guren growled, cutting Yuu’s words off again. “If he’s willing to pull this in the middle of a training field what’s he going to do when he catches you alone! He gotten bold because you haven’t reported anything and he and his squad have gotten away with their advances. So they pushed the line to see what else they could get away with!” Guren started walking slowly to Yuu. “Oh but I bet you weren’t going to say anything about this if I hadn’t seen it would you!” He paused only briefly before continuing his rant, stepping more towards Yuu making him back up to a wall as Guren now stood over him. “Exactly, you wouldn’t have said a fucking word and they’d have gotten away with something else until what Yuu! You and I both know what he would’ve tried on you next, and that's exactly why i'm so anal about this Yuichiro, because I don’t want my own kid to get fucking raped knowing I could have prevented it!” The realization hit Yuu then and Guren just glared at Yoichi, “this goes for you as well kid, but Kuroi’s given this little brat problems for years. The difference is you have reported some of these instances to me”. Guren looked down at Yuu again thrusting a finger to his chest “you, have not though and that’s why you’re getting the brunt of this Yuichiro, now do you understand why i’m pissed off?”. Yuu just continued staring wide eyed at Guren, nodding his head “do you really, use your damn words Yuu” he growled. “You're angry at me because I haven’t reported any of these guys to you” Yuu said, his tone softer than usual, taken back still by Guren’s sudden rage. The taller man rubbed his temples slightly before sighing, “look Yuu, i’m not angry at you, i’m angry at that asswipe that keep doing this, i’m worried alright”. Yuu blushed a little, like he always did when Guren would act a little soft or fatherly to him and he felt his chin being grasped and lifted up, looking into purple eyes. “From now on please let me do my job as your superior and your parent alright” his features softening as Yuu groaned out “yea yea old man I will if that’s what helps you sleep at night”. Turning his head away he heard Guren chuckle slightly as he turned back to Yoichi and Shinoa. “That goes for all of you alright, for god sake just let me do my job” he sighed as Yoichi nodded enthusiastically and Shinoa looked away giving him a thumbs up. With that he walked out of the room as Yuu slid down the wall to sit on his butt, still looking rather shocked. “He just went full daddy mode on you” Shinoa said breaking the silence as Yoichi could only nod, “I haven’t gotten scolded like that since I was thirteen and snuck into Guren’s armory chest to look at his swords”. They all let out an airy laugh, and Yoichi looked excitedly to the raven haired boy “well Yuu at least now our only issues are Kimi and Mika” making Yuu laugh a little at the brunettes antics. Though he could only nod as Shinoa interrupted them, “uh, problems with Shihou and Mika how exactly, catch Shinoa up on the gossip boys!” She whined out sitting on the bed next to Yoichi as Yuu sat up on his desk chair. The emerald eyed teen rolled his eyes and groaned for what seemed like the hundredth time that day, “just Mika and Kimizuki being dense like usual”. The lavender haired girl glanced to him laughing, “you say that like you aren’t yourself Yuu-san” smirking like a cheshire when he jumped up angrily. “Nobody asked your opinion short stack” he yelled noticing the dark aura forming around the girl as her eyes narrowed in on him. “I’m sorry Yuichiro but perhaps I misheard you, care to repeat yourself” her tone appearing friendly but the boys knew better. “Not really” Yuu said, sitting back down, even he knew when to shut up and took the opportunity like any male around the brooding woman would do, usually. Yoichi chuckled at his friends fearful expression before looking back to his squad leader, “oh, well Kimizuki-kun has been kind of avoiding me and Mika- kun’s been doing the same to Yuu-kun for the last two weeks and we can’t figure out what’s wrong”. Shinoa’s eyes widened hearing the news, “how have they been avoiding you guys?” she asked as she shifted on the bed. “Not talking to us or even being close to us if they can help it, always blushing for some reason or another” Yuu droned out, propping his chin on his hand and rolled his eyes. “Though when they do talk to us it’s really short answered and not very fluent, like they will look anywhere but us” the archer added, playing with his hands in his lap. Shinoa nodded crossing her arms, knowing just from their brief description exactly what the older boys problems were. A small smirk graced her lips then, as a devious idea sprouted in her mind, “well, why don’t you two make them come crawling to you then?”. Both teens looked at her and by her tone Yuu already knew this was one of her evil plans but decided to humor her. “Yea, and how exactly do we do that then oh great wise one”. Her grin only grew as she turned it towards the katana wielder who shivered under her gaze, starting to regret his question. “Well boys, you remember what’s being held tomorrow night at the main headquarters Atrium right?” the boys had to think before Yoichi looked over to her “The JIDA night raid party right” and the lavender haired girl nodded. “Well, our squads are attending with Guren’s so why not tease them a little, draw some attention you know, you're both lookers. It won’t be hard especially if you really dress yourselves up, you know, leave little for the imagination if you get where i’m going”. Shinoa wagged her eyebrows as Yuu sat up more and started grinning as Yoichi shrugged, looking a bit uncomfortable. “I uh, I don’t know Shinoa-san I mean they won’t even talk to us” but before Yoichi could further his argument Yuu cut him off “oh it’ll work”. The olive eyed boy glanced confusingly to his also smirking comrade as Shinoa nodded, “Mika and Kimizuki have one thing in common Yoichi and that is their both a little territorial”. Suddenly Yoichi realized what his two friends were trying to say and blushed, “oh I definitely think this might work”. A knock on the door interrupted the trio and Narumi popped his head in, “hey guys dinner’s done” and with that he closed the door and Shinoa winked at them. “Well you two, we’ll gameplan, alright” and with two nods they left the room, walking down the hall to a delicious aroma making Yoichi’s stomach grumble. Shinoa giggled and hugged Mitsuba from behind, startling the blonde “we made beef curry tonight so there's plenty for today and tomorrow even”. She said as Yoichi and Yuu sat at the end of the table next to Narumi, who quickly looked to the raven. “So uh, what did Guren lose his shit for, like he went from zero to one-hundred back to zero in like a minute from what we heard down here”. Iwasaki sat down next to his squad leader nodding, “yeah, that’s one way to describe it” he muttered nibbling lightly on his rice. Shinoa sat down across from Narumi and Iwasaki with Mitsuba next to Yoichi as well eating her own dish. “Please, Guren skipped the Superior officer step, the Lieutenant Colonel step and the i’m-the-adult-you're-not step and went straight for the-daddy-to-a-teenage-girl step”. Kimizuki, if he hadn’t put his food down would’ve dropped it when he tripped laughing, while Mitsuba and Iwasaki nearly choked. Mika just shook his head when he came into the room, Yuu’s eyes following the blonde noticing how tight the black shirt he wore was. How it seemed to accentuate just the perfect areas on the vampire’s muscular torso making him almost start drooling. Until he felt a small nudge against his leg under the table, drawing his attention up to Shinoa who held a shit eating grin. Feeling himself blushing Yuu looked back down and began eating along with the two squads, who were holding normal conversation.  ________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________  ______________________________________________________________*TIMESKIP*_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________     After dinner, Yuu and Yoichi sat down to finish the paperwork Guren assigned them and Yuu, not wanting to make Guren wait, started getting ready to leave for the office building. Knowing full well that even though the Commander's office closed an hour ago, Guren and a few other Lieutenant Colonels would still be finishing some paperwork.     He’d planned on Yoichi accompanying him, but after he poked his head into the lounge and saw Yoichi enjoying a game of checkers with Narumi, Taro and surprisingly Kimizuki. He decided he didn’t want to drag the brunette away and slinked down to the elevators uninterrupted, leading him to where he was now, stepping into the empty lobby of their building.     Clutching the tied up orange envelope encasing his papers, Yuu walked through the glass doors, hesitating at the top of the stairs seeing how dark it had gotten which should be no surprise, it was November after all. However it seemed even darker than normal because the moon was hidden behind cloud cover tonight.      The strange feeling in his gut made him think to maybe go and get one of his squad members to come with him, but after a brief moment, he shook his head and jogged down the large concrete steps. As it seemed though luck was not on Yuu’s side today because not a single hummer was parked on the roads from what he could see which surprised him. Sighing he hugged his uniform jacket closer to his form as the cold pre-winter breeze drifted by in a way that just taunted his situation.     Looking to his right he could see the tall military office building lit up from the road that was maybe a minute away by car and a six minute walk. One more glance back to the dark ominous building behind him, and he turned to his right beginning to walk down the sidewalk, glancing every now and again around himself.     He knew that everyone was making the preparations for the party so nobody would be out, even afternoon training, classes and job sites shut down earlier tonight and would be tomorrow because of the event. It was one of the highlights of the seasons though so naturally the whole JIDA would be putting in extra work for this, though Yuu wasn’t as excited but he’d go just for his friends.      Even with this knowledge though something in the back of Yuu’s mind kept making him hyper aware of his surroundings. Maybe it was because it was dark or he’d become more sensitive because of his demon or hell, even going on mission caused him to become conscious about things like it. Though the thing that made it worse, was just how quiet it was and it made the raven haired teen become unreasonably on edge.     Every alley he passed his heart rate increased like something was waiting in the dark to jump out at him at any second. Even passing under a street light every ten feet or so felt like relief, Yuu popped his hood up and shook his head, “god what is wrong with you, there’s nothing to be getting so freaked out by here”. Though even reassuring himself didn't seem to get rid of the foreboding feeling creeping around him.      Looking across the intersection he’d arrived at he looked both directions like there was actually a car coming at this time. He crossed over the street and hopped up onto the curb, passing beneath a large awning of a grocery store that had closed up for the night. Just as he was about to step out from under it something slammed down on it causing Yuu to scream out in surprise, jumping backwards and landing on his ass, only to see a rather fat racoon come falling off only to run across the road into an alleyway.     Yuu sat for a minute or so feeling like his heart was going to burst from his ribcage at any second. His heaving breath coming out in white puffs in the cold air and it took him a minute to recover. However it didn’t last long until he was standing back up and brushed the back of the black jacket off. Running a hand through his messy hair another frigid breeze motivated him to pick up the pace and continue on.      A hummer passed him by followed by it stopping at the corner indicating with a flashing yellow light that it was turning right. Though before it completely turned a window was rolled down and an obviously intoxicated looking blonde poked his head out of the opening. “Hey sexy thang what can I get for fifty bucks!” The comment made Yuu’s stomach turn and he grit his teeth, why did he get so many vulgar profanities all the time?     Yuu just rolled his eyes as he began passing the tan colored truck as a rear window was rolled down, causing the smaller teen to catch the reek of alcohol coming from the vehicle nauseating him more. Giving no response, the driver yelled at him, “hey man ma buddy asked ya a question, what can my main man get for fifty dolla!” he barely slurred out hitting the passenger on the shoulder.     Yuu whipped his head back, “a steel toe boot up his ass if he’s lucky” he growled, seeing an opportunity to take a shortcut then as he heard the truck begin following him, he dove into the alleyway. Coming out a block up ahead as he dropped to a knee and hid behind a corner, watching them drive past his hiding spot, allowing him to come back out into the street releasing a sigh of relief.      Though once the silence returned he kind of wished for the drunks to come back around, because with it came the rock in his stomach. Folding the large envelope and putting it inside his jacket, he speed walked down the last long stretch he needed before the last turn into the gates of the office building, that was maybe another three or four blocks away. He slowed down though when he caught sight of a dark figure of a person standing about half a block up from where he stood at an open supplies store.      He couldn’t tell who it was but they appeared to be hiding themselves in a JIDA winter  uniform jacket like his own. ‘Maybe he’s just waiting for someone in the store’ he thought to himself as he began walking again, getting closer and closer. Though the closer he got the more on edge he felt, his heart was beginning to race, his breath was coming out a little quicker and the hairs on the back of his neck were standing up.   Yuichiro unconsciously stood a bit taller, rolling his shoulder and puffing himself out to make himself look a little bigger than he actually was as he hardened his face into a deep scowl and narrowed his eyes. The distance between him and the other soldier was closing quicker, five hundred feet, four hundred, two hundred. Then the moment came and Yuu, keeping his eyes locked straight ahead of himself, passes in front of the surprisingly taller man. The strong gust of wind slammed into Yuu’s back and made it sound like he was going through a tunnel as it ripped behind his ears. Unfortunately for Yuu, if the wind hadnt blown as hard as it did he probably would've heard the shift of a boot against concrete, or if he hadnt shut his eyes briefly he would've seen the shadow from behind him, blocking out the light of the neon sign above him. Nothing however, could stop Yuu being abruptly halted in his stride as the hard grip on his right bicep did. The sudden restraint caused his breath to leave him and he quickly whipped his head back to see the same guy he’d passed by only a second ago tightly holding his arm. He tried looking up to identify the man but with the angle of the light the shadows in his hood almost completely concealed his face. The smaller teen narrowed his eyes and attempted to wrench his arm out of the grip. It was useless though because the strangers hold didn’t even falter as the katana wielder growled, “the hell’s your deal, you better let go of my fucking arm”. Again the man didn't budge and Yuu, already annoyed by the previous encounter was in no mood to deal with this guy, and grabbed onto his sword ready to unsheathe it. Yuu was left quiet shaken when, faster than his eyes could track, his sword was thrown out of his hand and lodged into the light post.   The light post, across the street…..   His green eyes were wide, trying to figure out just how that happened but more than that, in the utter stillness, he knew something wasn't right with the person in front of him. A person who was not moving but as his eyes traveled to their hooded face, noticing the vice grip starting tightening impossibly more. Yuu’s fight or flight instincts kicked into overdrive and he started writhing and struggling, bringing his other hand back to punch the guy but just as quick as his sword, his wrist was held just as tight as his arm. He pulled back with all his might, twisting in the near bone shattering hold until he started feeling an unbearable razor sharp pain in his arms and stopped. Knowing that method wasn't going to work. He crouched slightly and pushing himself up, knocking his head into the stranger's jaw causing whoever it was to scream out, but Yuu’s small victory was ended when he was getting pulled closer to the man, but not only closer, he quickly became aware he was being pulled back, right into the darkened alleyway. Yuu knew his best bet to get out of this situation was to get this guy off before he reached the alley but if anything he needed to stay out in the open. Even then if someone passed by he had a better chance at that point of getting away. He then crouched slightly again, remembering something Guren taught him years ago….   *********FLASHBACK**********     ‘’Alright Yuu, ready here comes the next scenario” Guren said, straightening his shirt out and standing ready, watching a small fifteen year old Yuichiro looking up at him. With a fiery determination in his emerald eyes, still huffing from their previous session.     “Imagine this, you're by yourself, nobody is around you and you’ve come to find yourself being grabbed by a man much larger than you”.     Guren started walking to Yuu who was getting himself into a ready position, as the twenty-two year old grabbed onto his small biceps.         “This man’s holding you, what’s the first thing you’d do to me?” He watched Yuu quickly start pulling away from him which barely even unbalanced the young man. “Come on Yuu, use your words tell me what you're doing!” he yelled.     Yuu looked up to him, “pull as hard as I can to unbalance you!” he gasped out trying with all his might to yank the man only successfully amusing him.     “Yuu, you can pull all you want but your attacker is expecting you to do just that, more than likely he’ll be stronger than you”. This caused the child to stop and look up in defeat at his mentor, “well then what else can I do?” he asked.      Guren smiled crouching down to Yuu’s height and squared Yuu’s feet to his own making him face him directly, “both your arms are restrained right, don’t think of it as a restraint, but as an anchor”. The confused expression on the little raven's face made Guren chuckle.      “Here’s what I want you to do, use the hold on your arms to your advantage, I want you to crouch down and put your left foot onto the middle of my chest okay”. The man looked down to Yuu’s feet then tapped his chest, watching Yuu do as he instructed.     “From here, use the leverage from their hold, to push your body upwards so you can get your right leg up onto their right shoulder, now try it”. Yuu struggled the first few times then finally swung his leg up so his body faced to the left and he let his right leg hang over Guren’s right shoulder and drape behind his back.      “Good, now, don’t stop here, at the point you’ve got your leg up, don’t rest it on the shoulder but wrap it around the neck like I showed you in the choke hold”. He let go of one of Yuu’s arms, holding Yuu up still by the arm cradling his side, and grabbed Yuu’s right leg. Shifting it so the back of his knee was against Guren’s jugular.     “Feel where your knee is at my jugular” He asked the child watching him nod, “You’ll tighten your leg by bringing your calf to your thigh okay.” Yuu nodded again “so I just choke them out?” he answered.        The black haired man nodded his head no confusing his little soldier, “this move isn't designed to choke your enemy Yuu, it’s to cut off his jugular i.e cutting the blood supply going to his brain, do you know what that will cause?” he waited asking the kid.     Yuu thought for a minute before Guren smiled lightly, “It’s going to make him dizzy Yuu, just enough that his balance will falter him and very briefly, his grip will loosen and maybe even release.”     The light bulb went off above Yuu’s head and he smirked, Guren let Yuu stand and they both readied themselves, “now get ready, you're going to put it all together now!”.     At that moment, Guren grabbed Yuu, and in his peripheral vision saw Yuu’s leg come up and felt it wrap around the right side of his neck. Not long did it take for Guren to feel dizzy and loosen his grip to which Yuu dropped down, launched up striking Guren’s jaw with his head. Guren fell back and gathered himself as he watched Yuu celebrating his small victory with a smile.   **********FLASHBACK END***********   The motion felt quick but Guren trained him well when it came to hand to hand combat, and he’d be damned if he was taken out so easily. His leg wrapped around the man's neck and with all his might he squeezed his leg inwards. Just like Guren said though, the grip on his arms loosened up and he used it as quick as it came.     Unraveling his leg, he brought it up and with a twist at his midsection brought it down to kick at the side of the man’s head. He screamed out but just as Yuu was about to flip back, he saw an eye under the hood of his attacker. He halted because wear the eye should have been white, was instead a dark blood red and was oozing out a blackened tear like substance. Yuu was already shocked but when the guy looked at him with an absolutely murderous expression, he turned his head and buried his teeth deep into the flesh of his calf, somehow breaking through his jeans causing a throat shredding scream to erupt from the swordsman. The man then threw Yuu down onto the sidewalk, knocking his head hard onto the frigid concrete as his ears rang from the impact, he turned his body to lay on his front trying to get up. He saw a few droplets of blood fall onto the white hard ground as he lifted himself up by his elbows, but he was far to distracted by the pain in his leg to worry about his head. His breath was coming in and out fast and hard as he felt tears starting to form in the corner of his eyes. Then the sound of footsteps getting closer drew Yuu to look back and up at the tall dark figure with a deep seeded hate filled glare. Yuu couldn't even speak, his words coming out in groans and growls behind his gritted teeth. The unknown man suddenly dropped to his knees that were placed on either side of Yuu’s torso, threading his large hand into the raven hair and yanked it harshly up. Bending Yuu’s back to the point he began hearing a few cracks and pops, up to the others face where he felt a hot breath in his ear. “Run, fight and hide behind as many people as you want Hyakuya, your power will belong to me sooner than you think” A deep gravelly voice said lowly, as Yuu tried to turn his head back only for it to be snapped forward by the hand in his hair. “What, urg….. What power are hah...y-you talking about” he gasped out when another pop in his back pained him as the man basically sat on his ass. He heard a vicious laugh ring out from above him and he knelt, flipping Yuu to lay on his back, holding his arms above his head. Yuu fearfully eyed the other before a few drops of that black liquid dropped onto his cheek. His hand reached down to Yuu’s jacket wrenching it open and ripped his red shirt open to his mid abdomen like it was just paper. Exposing his sun kissed skin that quickly grew goosebumps from the sudden temperature change. The man’s hand ran between his pecks and encircled a nipple as he leaned down closer to Yuu.   “Don’t try playing stupid fucker, with your power you could end the whole world in a matter of seconds.” Yuu understood then, but how did this random soldier have any knowledge about the Seraph of the End. His face blanched when he saw the stranger's tongue slither out his mouth and slide between the trail his finger made, encircling his right nipple before closing his mouth around it and sucked on it lightly pulling a surprised moan from the raven. “Such a delicious power, and it’s even in a sexy little body like yours, what more could I ask for!”. With that he bit down hard onto Yuu’s pec just above his nipple making the little black haired soldier scream in agony, Yuu couldn't take it anymore with everything this stranger was doing to him, he snapped fearfully screaming out, “ASURAMARU GIVE ME YOUR FUCKING POWER NOW!”. Before he even finished the sentence he felt a familiar power consuming his body and judging by the sudden surprised reaction from the other, the marks formed. Yuu pushed with all his might and the other flew off him, slamming into the wall to their right effectively cracking and denting it inwards. He didn't even look or think before he took off down the sidewalk, his sword managed to come back to him in one hand and somehow, the envelop was still by some sheer luck folded in half inside his jacket. The landscape seemed to rush by and in seconds he was bursting through doors of the office building, his steps slowed only momentarily before he heard the doors behind him open again and without even looking Yuu knew it was him. Yuu glanced to the right and saw the three elevators but knew with this guy hot on his tail, they weren't an option, and slammed through the fire emergency stairwell. It would be a long run to get to the twelfth floor but it was his only option. Low and behold though by the fourth flight of stairs he heard the door explode open and the metal door slammed into the wall judging by the crack up the wall stopping just to Yuu’s left. “GO AHEAD AND RUN ALL YOU WANT, YOU WILL BELONG TO ME YUICHIRO, YOU, YOUR DEMON AND THE SERAPH OF THE END!”. The steps weren't even coming anymore before the now red eyed boy realized he was just jumping from landing to landing before the big number twelve was in front of him. Rushing through the door he took the first right and saw the intersection at the end of the hallway lit up by the commanders office just to the right. Chancing a glance back he nearly screamed seeing the man behind him by only five feet, that's when he saw Colonel Goshi peek around the corner and he mistakenly slowed down only for arms to grab him and pull him back causing Yuu to scream. In seconds, Goshi and Shinya were bounding over to him whilst a shuriken came flying back from Colonel Mito at the hall intersection followed by a shocked and angry looking Guren unsheathing his sword. All Yuu saw was a black figure fly past him and Mito, to be caught slightly by the tip of Guren’s katana causing the man to shriek out as he practically threw himself through the window, into the cold night leaving only the shattered pieces of glass and silence. The others looked to Yuu who was sitting on the floor with his bloody scraped hands holding onto the ground and tightly onto his sword, leaned over breathing heavily. Guren sheathed his weapon and walked to Yuu who looked up, surprising everyone who saw his red eyes and the red marks that intricately patterned his exposed skin. Guren kneeled down to the shuddering teen, “Yuu, are you okay?” Yuu suddenly felt relief hearing his Commanding officer's voice and the flood gates opened, all but launching himself into Guren’s already open willing arms surprisingly and after closing his eyes he cried out. “NO”.

Been struggling to stay awake so I hope you all enjoy the next chapter and once im feeling better I'll begin working on chapter three. See the end of the chapter for more notes The scene seemed to never end, Yuu silently wept his heart out into the older man's broad chest, shaking in Guren’s strong hold, feeling the man’s grip that would tighten every now and again. Yuu was, well undoubtedly scared from the incident, but couldn’t help but find himself crying from just the pure frustration of it all. He’s trained so hard for years under someone as unbelievably strong as Guren, yet he was chased down, beaten and snatched up like some defenseless little prey. Whipped around and picked up like he was nothing, it wasn’t even just this, not just this monster, but Kuroi also who’s done the same and the many others just like him who harass him. They treated his threats as if he were a child, he wanted it all to just stop, the perverted stares the groping, the comments, the jokes and laughing. He wanted to be treated with the respect he felt like he deserved but no matter what he did or said, things never changed and he had nobody he could even console in about this very problem. However if it wasn’t happening to him it almost always turned to Yoichi, and Yuu knew that sometimes, Yoichi was too nice for his own good. Often like himself, but Yoichi had trouble standing up for himself, so Yuu would just plaster a smile on his face and shoulder it even while it tore him apart. Guren though could practically hear Yuu screaming in his head from how his form quivered and twitched, to how his teeth gritted. Watching his hands that clenched the dark fabric of his red and black uniform jacket, turning his knuckles white. Nobody in the hall had the nerve to interrupt the almost silent conversation between the two ravens that were all but still on the hard tiled floor. Guren’s amethyst eyes began to take notice of his younger soldiers ripped shirt and unconsciously, his hand rose up grasping one of Yuu’s quivering shoulder’s. He had to push a few times, seeing as Yuu didn’t want to leave the warm embrace being too busy in his own thoughts, but steadily he let his Commanding officer tilt his body. What Guren saw however began to rekindle the raging fire in his chest seeing the wound on his right pectoral still bleeding profusely. The wound itself was extensive but he couldn't make out what caused it in the lighting, but even in the dimmed hallway Guren could tell the injury was deep and would likely be in need of stitches. For Yuu’s sake though he took a few deep breaths, knowing the wild eyed teen wasn't easily panicked like this for nothing, he had enough sense to realize losing his temper wouldn’t help the situation. Briefly the Lieutenant Colonel looked over Yuu and noticed a large growing stain on his calf beneath his ripped up black jeans, assuming it was another injury. Judging also by the blood on his hand that had previously rested on Yuu’s head as well, he knew the boy was bleeding somewhere on his head. How, well Guren would get the answer to that momentarily but, he just needed to get his wounds treated before the brat passed out. Slowly, and ever so carefully Guren picked the half-demon up from the ground easily, seeing as Yuu was pretty light to the point it almost concerned the man when Yoichi could give Yuu a piggyback ride, he’d have to speak to Yuu about his eating habits later on. He hesitated briefly when he heard Yuu’s pained sounds, protesting the movements, though it quieted as the man pulled Yuu closer trying to console him as best as he knew how. He then looked over to his superior who as well shared a brief expression of shock seeing the youngers bloody chest. The others were studying the scene of the shattered ceiling to floor window wearily, as if that thing would come back any second. Shinya nodded and they began walking to the elevator that Mito had rushed to, opening just as Guren arrived, they entered the spacious elevator studying their reflections in the metallic walls. Waiting silently until they arrived in the small medical wing that was thankfully still open, hastily making their way down the much brighter corridors. “I’ve already paged the on-call doctor, he should be well prepared to treat Yuu-san when we arrive Guren-Sama” Sayuri softly said, breaking the thick atmosphere finally to everyone's relief. Guren could only nod and in less than a minute, they rounded the corner to be greeted by the sight of the nursing stations main desk. The petite woman behind the desk stood when she made eye contact with Shinya who was ahead of them all. Giving them a quick bow and a small greeting she stretched up to the shelf behind her, reaching for the walkie-talkie on the charging post’s, “doctor, Lieutenant Colonel Ichinose is here for you”. They assembled in front of the waiting area, before a man in a white lab coat came out from the two double door to their immediate right, followed by two male nurses who wore plain baby blue scrubs. The middle aged man’s smile fell as his silver eyes dropped from Guren to the younger teen in his arms, “I'd say good evening but it looks like it’s been anything but, please if you all can follow me, my teams prepared a bed in our triage bay”. Without a moment of hesitation the group quickly followed the medical team to the last bed on the right side of the large and desolate room, it surprised nobody though seeing as it was quite late already. They were just lucky the head doctor happened to stayed longer than normal to wrap up reports for that night, otherwise they’d have to of gone to an entire different building. The moderately built physician grabbed the clipboard resting on the bed, moving so that Guren could set Yuu down. Of course though the movement jostled his leg, causing the katana wielder to let out a surprised shriek, not prepared for the sharp burst of pain as he shakily settled himself onto the upright gurney. Gritting his teeth and breathing heavily, his sill ruby eyes looked between Guren and the doctor as the man cleared his throat, immediately beginning to examine his mangled right leg. “Oh my, that legs causing you quiet a bit of pain there isn’t it, let’s take a look here” he flipped open a vanilla envelope that was behind the white exam sheets before turning his head to a nurse that was fiddling with the monitor above the bed. “Takashi, could you go fetch me four milligrams of Morphine and five of saline with that IV kit, I want to get something in him immediately to start settling that pain”. The blonde haired nurse nodded before going around the corner to gather all the supplies, as the doctor turned his head to the other nurse who was placing a blood pressure sleeve around Yuu’s right arm. The monitor above them emitted a few beeps and whistles as a white clip was placed on the teens middle finger, it then produced a few different colored numbers as a green line jumped up and down the screen, emitting a faint beeping that filled the otherwise empty room. “One-twenty eight over ninety blood pressure, BP at ninety-two and O-two stats at ninety eight percent sir” the nurse said as the brunette scribbled the information down onto his sheet. Sayuri leaned closer over the bed examining the screen herself, “that’s kind of high isn’t it doctor?” she asked worriedly turning towards the lab coat clad man. Who himself nodded before beginning to explain the readings. “It is high, but Yuuichirou’s not only in pain, the body when it experiences multiple sites of trauma at once, will raise blood pressure in response to the body's attempt to heal the wound by sending oxygen and platelets to the area. However when the injury inflicted, damages more than skin and proceeds to muscle damage, which is encapsulated by our arteries and vessels those are also being destroyed.” He turned as Takashi wrapped a rubber band around Yuu’s arm beginning to search for a vein. “Which is what causes profuse bleeding and our bodies will go into hypothermia because of it, but then that develops into coagulopathy when too much blood is being lost and blood cannot coagulate properly. Which is also a consequence of metabolic acidosis or acidosis in general because the two have disturbed the body's ability to basically produce lactic acid properly in turn decreasing cardiac output”. They nodded as Sayuri and Mito looked to each other and Guren crossed his arms, his eyes still locked on Yuu whose head was still down, noting how unusually quiet he was. “Partial possession also can affect the body, its hard on the host dealing with that kind of energy even in short time periods alone” Guren’s rough voice said, as he unconsciously got closer to Yuu’s bed. The doctor, grabbing the scissors handed to him by the nurse who’d returned with the supplies, started cutting away what remained of Yuu’s ripped jeans up to his mid thigh. Slowly pulling off his now bloody black and white converse and placing it on the ground next to the other, he moved the fabric away to revealing the extent of the gruesome wound. The older gentlemen whistled lowly, grabbing a gauze pad he soaked quickly in a saline solution on the tray next to him, he gently wiped around the wound in an attempt to study the area. Even at the soft touch though Yuu nearly shot out of the bed with a yelp and gripped tightly onto the bedding beneath him. Doctor Myers stopped then, placing the reddened piece of cotton down into a sterile bowl next to him. “Let’s wait on touching any of these until those pain meds begin to take, Takashi once your done with that IV get me some more sterilized gauzes, and Ryes fetch me ten milligrams of Lidocaine injectable along with the suture kit in the cupboard please”. The two nodded and Yuu flinched from a sudden sharp prick in his arm, looked over to the nurse next to him who couldn't be that much older then himself, connecting up a tube to the needle now in his arm. Immediately the two got up and rushed to gather the mentioned supplies before Myers replaced himself in the stool Takashi had vacated, gently helping Yuu pull off his jacket and ripped up shirt to examine the rest of his body. “How strange” the silver eyed man whispered but Guren who’d been basically hovering over Yuu like a mother bear, snapped his head to the doctor. “What is it?”, the brunette looked up to Yuuichirou then, “Yuu my boy, can you tell me how these wounds were inflicted?” and without skipping a beat looked up, “he bit me”. Everyone in the room shared a strange and shocked look with one another before the older gentleman looked perplexed back at the red eyed teen, “I beg your pardon?” he stuttered. Before Yuu could even answer though Guren shifted, snapping out of his momentary shock, “this guy, bit, you!” Guren said, his suddenly raised voice seemingly booming in the quiet room, enunciating the word bit a tad louder as if he was unsure. The doctor looked in between Yuu and Guren as if he wasn’t sure if he should intervene or continue his exam, until Shinya interrupted them. “Yuu, can you please explain what happened that lead up to this” the white haired male said standing at the foot of the bed, wearing a strange unreadable expression. He wasn't sure about telling Shinya though, seeing he was still a Hiiragi and all, yet the small glare he gave to the young male told him Shinya was not someone to beat around the bush with, at that Yuu sighed. “All I was doing was bringing that envelope back to Guren from earlier and there wasn't any trucks out front so I decide to just walk here and..”. “Wait, you left by yourself when it’s this dark, Yuu I just talked to you about this last week! I told you to stop walking by yourself anywhere especially with Kuroi on your ass!”. The purple eyed man scolded obviously worked up and emotional about the entire situation, but that only ricocheted back to Yuu, who glared up at his superior. “I’m not some little kid Guren and it was right up the street, I can defend myself just fine usually, but that guy just…” but as Yuu looked down nervously at the mention of the brooding trench coat man, Guren snapped back, “oh yea! Like you defend yourself really well by getting bitten and chased down by that hulk, do you ever once think Yuu!”. “Guren! Enough, Yuu please continue, you were walking to the headquarters building correct” Shinya intercepted, expertly recentering the conversation. Guren growled lowly but stayed silent, for once also still wanting to piece together this story. “Yes, I passed by that supply store that’s open twenty-four hours and that guy was just standing there, but as soon as I passed him he grabbed me and tried pulling me into an alley, I tried fighting him off but he grabbed my sword and…..” Yuu hesitated, “threw it across the street, in-into the light post, so I tried to get away from him, but no matter what I did he wouldn’t fucking budge” Yuu whimpered, trailing off at the last bit, shivering as the memory replayed itself like one of those old movies in his mind, repeatedly seeing nothing but those demonic black eyes. Nobody else seemed to notice but the small quiver in Yuu’s voice, the way his eyes kept shifting around the white bed to the smallest shakes he’d forcibly hide in his arm and hand. Guren saw it though, he knew the teenager on the gurney too well to know that he wasn't telling them something, he knew something happened out there in the streets and Guren wanted to know what it was, and he wanted to know, now. “Yuu” he said softly noticing that his child didn't look up to him nor answer him, they momentarily were distracted by the nurse starting the next round of medications. Again the older man tried saying the scarlet eyed boys name with no response, although not one to surrender he knew Yuu wouldn't truly talk to him with this many people around. “Can you all leave for a few minutes, I want to talk to him alone” Guren said looking up to the rest of his squad and the med team before their questioning stares turned into nods of approval. Quickly they left through the double door as the doctor promised to come back momentarily to see how the medications were doing. The raven haired man towered over Yuu who felt a small blush heating his cheeks, knowing all too well that he wasn’t fooling his superior one bit. If anyone knew him better than Mika, it was Guren and just like the older blonde knew, his parental figure could tell when Yuu was lying also. “Well, I’m waiting Yuu” Guren said, crossing his arms and looking down to Yuuichirou who kept peeking up at the man’s unmoved determined stare. He knew better that at this point, it was easier to just tell him, but even to himself it sounded bogus. “I mean, where the hell do I start Guren, I don’t know if you’d even believe me, I barely believe what I saw” Yuu murmured, feeling a little dizzy as he tried looking up to the older man. Guren sighed and sat himself on the bed with Yuu, “kiddo, this world we live in now is insane, I don’t think there’s anything you could tell me that I wouldn't believe, so try me”. With his reassuring words Yuu took a deep breath, “that guy, I really don’t think he was human or, fully human at least but I know he wasn’t a vampire”. Guren found himself nodding, seeing as he had the same thought from their previous encounter with whatever that thing was earlier, just the way it moved and talked wasn’t, right? He was too fast, not nimble or graceful like a vampire’s agility as Yuu had mentioned but the way his limbs moved and the force he could project with his body wasn’t something your average soldier was doing. Honestly Guren had been trying to figure it out himself since they’d been downstairs and was glad he wasn’t the only one who thought so. “That much is clear however I agree with you about it not being a vampire, hell even the vampires from the lab’s aren’t that klutzy” he said, nodding at Yuu. The younger boy nodded also agreeing with Guren’s speculation however they were no closer to their answer. “Say Yuu, what else happened, I know you too well brat, you don’t get scared by shit easily so tell me, what you didn’t want everyone else hearing” Guren said getting up and circling to the foot of the bed, leaning in and crossing his arms. Yuu looked down and sighed, figuring he’s not getting out of talking to Guren this time, “his eyes, did you see them?” the katana wielder asked hesitantly, looking up into widened purple eyes, finding Guren was in shock. “No, why” he paused, raising an eyebrow to the off topic question. “They, they were black Guren, not like the whites of our eyes but they were like two gaping holes just staring at me with this, this look like he wanted nothing more then to kill me…” Yuu shakily said, remembering the look as he spoke and even in the safety of Guren’s presence he still felt that fear, like something was creeping around every corner, or that he would come back to finish the job. That thought alone started a whole new fear inside the younger male, “Guren what if he comes back for me! I mean, he knew about the Seraph of the End and my ties with it so what else does he know, wh-what if tries to come and hurt one of my team members, he seemed desperate to take me!” Yuu yelled out, starting to panic at the thought of that man hurting or possibly killing one of his beloved family members. “He can’t, I won’t let it happen, not again I can’t go through that again when I can stop it, right, I can stop him next time right, Guren?” he practically pleaded for Guren to answer, the brink of tears he’d held back were streaming down his face, remembering the incident all those years ago with him and Mika in Sanguinem. Guren stood up straight, coming to Yuu’s side understanding now why Yuu didn’t want to talk in front of everyone, he knew Yuu was frightened. He didn’t realized it wasn’t fear for his safety but for his squad, of course though he would be, that’s who Yuu was, a kid who cared more for everyone else then he did for himself. Guren raised his hand to run his fingers through Yuu’s raven hair, taking a small notice that it’d grown in length but perhaps he hadn’t noticed before? The small gesture was enough to stop Yuu’s rambling and crying as he looked up surprised to see an emotion he’d never seen on the older mans face, sympathy. Yuu was stunned for a moment realizing this was Guren fucking Ichinose, who’d for the last few years did nothing but beat and berate him into a strong soldier, was now the same man consoling him like a father would to their child. Guren’s hand stroked down to Yuu’s temple as his thumb extended out to gently stroke at the other’s soft tear wet cheek, making Yuu unconsciously lean into the gentle touch he rarely ever felt. All the years he’d been on this earth Yuu was never someone people were gentle or loving with, of course there were the Hyakuya kids, but their small grabby hands though well intentioned weren't always the softest hold he felt. What his superior was doing however was probably one of the few times he’d actually had someone do such a thing, and he didn’t want it to stop. He remembered the first time Mikaela hugged him when they were kids nearly gave him a heart attack, at the time he didn’t know what it was the blonde was doing, but Yuu would never forget the look of shock and sadness on the sapphire eyed boys face when he’d learned, Yuu didn’t understand what a hug was. So feeling the soft caress on his cheek nearly made him purr in ecstasy, he certainly would never admit it but sometimes, he felt like he was touch starved, he longed to be held and loved like the other children he saw growing up, and to this day it never changed. Like hell he’d ever admit to that out loud though, god knows nobody would let him live it down, not even Mika...... Guren couldn’t help but laugh a little, seeing the red blush spreading to his Yuuichirou’s ears and the surprisingly adorable purr he perhaps didn't realize he’d emitted a few times. He smiled though, because he could see a peek of green coming back into his red eyes and he knew now was a better time than later. “Yuuichirou, you and I both know you’d have to be dead before you would ever let anything happen to your family” he said as he reached into his uniform jacket’s pocket. Pulling out a small silver case and snapping it open to reveal three small syringes filled with a light pink almost clear liquid inside. The movement caught Yuu’s attention and he looked down seeing Guren pulling one out and replacing the small metal case back into his uniform before turning back to Yuu. “Calm down, it’s just that sedative I've given to you before, it helps if you’ve been under possession for long periods of time” . The man informed the teen, gesturing with his eyes the red demonic marks that marred his skin as Yuu’s bloody cat like eyes looked down to study the intricate patterns on his arm. “I know I know, but for fuck sake you better not put that shit into my neck again” he grumbled glaring up at Guren who raised an eyebrow again and smirked. “Well too bad so sad that’s where it has to go Yuu”. Yuu threw his head back rolling his eyes in detest, “aren’t I in enough pain or are you some sadist that gets off to causing it”, Yuu leered at him, making the man let out a bubbled chuckle at the boys random antics. “Well that’s for you to decide but I'm not confirming or denying it” and with that he leaned forward, carefully pushing Yuu’s head to the side and brushing some locks away from his neck. The prick of pain caused Yuu to jump a little bit, but he nearly gasped when the hard pressure of the fluid emptying from the hypodermic needle started going into his jugular. However it didn't take long for that pain to null into a tingle and his vision started to blur with it, lulling his head back as he felt his eyelids getting heavy, suddenly feeling a warm weight on his hand causing him to look down, though he wasn't sure if it was the meds or Guren was really sick and was holding his hand. He didn’t have much time to contemplate it though because as the last thought faded from his mind, his vision completely blacked out and he drifted off into sleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   The man watched Yuu’s eyes slowly shut as his eyes were dilating before his head lulled to the right and his messy black locks covered a majority of his face. Guren chuckled at the scene and moved his hand to brush some of the tendrils away from the youngers face letting them join the rest of his hair that fanned out on the pillow. “You know I hate when you give my patient medications without telling me first Guren” he heard behind him, turning to see Doctor Myers standing at the foot of the bed. The purple eyed male stood giving a small smile to the man's not so impressed stare as he had his arms crossed. “It’s just the normal class A demon sedative, nothing major this time don’t worry, I need him awake and alert tomorrow so I'm planning to let him heal up tonight.” Guren nonchalantly said, easing the other man’s nerves lightly. “So, do you know how this happened, doesn’t look like anything I've seen from a vampire attack and it’s too round for a dog’s mouth, to me it looks like..”. “A human’s mouth, yes that’s exactly what it is” Guren interrupted the man halfway through his sentence, verifying the obvious elephant in the room to the occupants. He noticed the weary look on the doctors face when Guren just shook his head, “don’t worry too much about it yet, I have to still talk to Yuu more about it”. With that the silver eyed man left the topic, knowing the other well enough that if Guren wasn’t going to talk, then the conversation was over. He merely bowed and briefly left only to reappear with his assistants who immediately, laid the bed down flat and began sterilizing the wound’s with the saline soaked gauzes. “These wounds now that I’ve got a better look at them are pretty deep, the canines on both what appear clearly as the bottom and top rows of teeth had to be massive, I mean look at this Lieutenant Colonel”. Myers said beneath his surgical mask, moving to adjust the overhead light better as Guren moved in closer to the bed. He was right though, as his purple eyes searched his now swelled injury he notice the massive holes where the top and bottom canines on a normal person should be, were absolutely monstrous compared to the other teeth marks. “I see, that’s incredible even vampire fangs don’t cause that kind of muscular damage, it’s like they went in just to maim not to drink any blood” He said, ‘that was the point though, he didn’t want Yuu to get away’ Guren thought to himself, but why? Why did that thing specifically want Yuu and more importantly why did he know about the Seraph, which he’d done his best to keep as an uppermost top secret experiment. He’d have plenty of time to figure it out later that night, but for now he needed to fill out the incident report and medical exam sheets for his colleague stitching his soldier up at the moment. As he stepped back out into the waiting area and approached the desk, already being handed the clipboard by the female nurse who’d come to know the routine by this point. He turned his head noticing all eyes had been directed to him, silently waiting for his word, “he’ll be fine, the wounds should heal up but he’s not going to be able to walk on that leg for a couple days probably by the way it looked”. Guren said seeing Sayuri and Mito relax a little hearing the good prognosis. “That’s excellent news to hear indeed Guren but I think you know what we really want to know don’t you?” Shinya piqued leaning on the desk next to where the raven haired man stood scribbling away the necessary information. He struggled not to roll his eyes at his own superiors happy tone knowing Shinya would bug him endlessly unless he gave them a suitable answer. “Honestly, Yuu’s pretty shaken up so he was all over the place, but I don't believe what or who attacked him was that of a human or a vampire”. There was no answer as he waited to hear the next question keeping his eyes glued to the paper as he neared the bottom of the last sheet. Signing his name at the bottom he did a last flip through and feeling satisfied with the paperwork handed it back to the nurse with a smirk. Turning around he was met with an array of emotions ranging from Mito’s waiting expression to Goshi’s utterly confused face. “What do you mean not a vampire, did you see how quick that sucker moved for his size, I mean he was easily as tall if not taller than me” Goshi interjected. Guren nodded and crossed his arms, “yes, but did you also happen to take note on how that thing moved, did you see how hastily and angrily it practically threw its limbs and body around? That’s why one, I don’t believe it was a vampire, but two, by the way the bite marks look the canines on the upper and lower jaw were far too large for a vampires”. Coming to understand their leader’s thought process they nodded and Goshi could only agree and trust the other man. Who’d taken a seat next to him in one of the many plush sofas that were occupying the large space. As they all got comfy knowing the wounds were going to take some time to stitch up, they wait…..   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Seemingly in a blink of an eye he was surrounded by white, opening his eyes he looked up to see a greyish white everlasting sky above him with the faintest shimmer of gold coming from his right somewhere. His hair tousled ever so lightly at the faint breeze that was neither cooling nor warm, and the sound of distant fluttering wings surrounded him. He blinked a few more times before a wisp of purple caught his bleary vision’s attention, as his head turned slightly he caught the shape of a person to his side that cleared, seeing that next to him was actually his demon, Asuramaru. “Hey there sleepy head, bout time you woke up” he said smirking as he stood and placed his hands behind his back. Yuu quickly stood, wondering why he was here as he gave his demon a concerning stare, “what I didn’t do anything, that serum the human injected you with did” he said smirking and tilting his head as Yuu felt a wave a slight relief. “Ah that makes sense I guess” he said scratching the back of his head he looked down seeing his leg was still a mess even in this world. “Oh yea, right I suppose you're gonna need me to start healing that thing aren’t you” the little demon said walking over to his master and kneeling to take a look. Though something caught Yuu’s attention just then, “is it just me or are you moving slower than you normally do?” This caused the purple haired boy to look up into green eyes unamused. “Yea, it’s because of that sedative, its designed to basically nullify me so that the possession link between me and your physical body stops”. Asuramaru dully explained as he stood, twirling a finger in his seemingly gravity defying hair, jumping back up to his perch on the katanas handle, Yuu nodded taking in the new information. He’d been given the sedative a couple of time but he’d never fully understood it’s method, he just went with what Guren said most of the time and trusted his word that it wouldn’t hurt him. At the thought though he looked up to meet his demon’s bored and tired stare, “it doesn’t hurt you does it Asuramaru?” he asked, causing the other to raise and eyebrow. “Why would you care if it did or didn’t” he threw back causing Yuu to flinch slightly at his harsh tone. “Of course I care, your my demon and I not only need you but I also care if it does or doesn't so just answer the question!” he yelled back, causing Asuramaru to jump down glaring daggers at Yuu, but the expression quickly changed into shock. “So if it hurts you I won’t take it anymore, I'll tell Guren he needs to figure out something else because I don’t want to put anything into myself that’ll in turn hurt you”. His determined stare was staring back into Asuramaru’s who looked completely at a loss for words. “I mean, it doesn’t hurt but it’s not pleasant either, feeling like im drugged out and all” Yuu nodded feeling a tinge of guilt “I'll see what I can do” he simply said before Asuramaru nodded his head and turned to face his back towards Yuu. “You’re the weirdest master I've ever had you know that, honestly I'm a demon whose only goal is to completely posses you one day, you don’t have to try and be nice”. Instead of what Asuramaru expected Yuu merely smiled, "to be fair I'm not a normal human either, regardless your a demon that’s what your supposed to do, I don’t hold anything against you for that, I knew what I was getting myself into when I contracted with you”. Asuramaru couldn't help but feel a strange fuzzy warmth in the pit of his gut as a heat rose to his cheeks, something the small demon hadn’t felt in eons. He could only bite his lip and look back half heartedly to his master, “hmm, well I’ll start healing your wounds so get some rest stupid human”. With that the bright light of Yuu’s departure filled the everlasting whiteness of Asuramaru’s prison as he looked up to the sky.   “What a strange person you are, Yuuichirou, strange but in a good way maybe”.     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     Doctor Myers stepped out from the double doors after a few hours of working on Yuu’s wounds, as he slipped his mask to rest on his neck he was greeted by the group and Guren who waited expectantly. “So, how is his prognosis look, promising as I assume correct” Guren speculated watching as the brunette smiled and put his hands in his pockets. “Absolutely, the wounds were tricky to stitch up but of course I managed to clean them up, he had a minor cut on head which just needed a simple staple. Bring him back in a few days to remove that and I'll replace the bandages also, keep an eye on the healing like always, make sure nothing looks out of the ordinary besides some minor swelling and probably some bruising. Other than the obvious wounds he had some minor scrapes on his hands and knees and a bloody nose but nothing major, we cleaned them up. However he needs to stay off that leg for a couple days, any straining or tightening of that muscle could cause the sutures to rip then we’re back to square one, think you can handle that Guren?” Guren smirked and shook the man’s hand, with a nod he followed him back to see Yuu peacefully sleeping on the gurney, cleaned up of grime and blood, bandaged and clothed in a fresh black tank top he’d ordered Goshi to get from his bedroom, which was a little big on him but it was better than the ripped up one in the trash. Carefully he picked Yuu up bridal style, realizing Yuu was only in a his tank top and boxer briefs now, he grabbed Yuu’s JIDA issued winter jacket and wrapped him in it not wanting the brat to get sick. Following the blonde nurse out who held the door open, grabbing the care packet under his arm as he began making his way to the dorms after wishing his comrades goodnight.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     The night was just ending and everyone was cleaning up from their rather fun filled night of games and ridiculously cheesy sitcoms when Shinoa and Narumi left the lounge. Leaving the others to figure out which game pieces went into which box as they entered the kitchen to rinse out and replace dishes into the dishwasher to clean overnight. “I didn’t realize a simple game of Uno could get so vicious did you?” Narumi commented wiping his forehead as he downed the last of his soda dropping the bottle into the trash. The lavender haired girl chuckled “well I suppose you put someone like Kimizuki and Shusaku against each other there was bound to be conflict”. The brunette could only laugh in agreeance remembering how red both their faces were when one would get so close to Uno only to lose it just as quickly. Just as they rounded the corner into the main hallway of their dorm floor, they noticed the light above the elevator at the end of the hall illuminate the area. Being they shut the light off once everyone's checked in as a small memo, they froze not knowing who could be coming up at this time of night. They were not prepared however to see Guren Ichinose carrying an unconscious half naked Yuuichirou Hyakuya at midnight though. Both the squad leaders looked to each other in shock as they saw the bandages wrapped around the smaller ravens leg and chest. Only to grow fearful when they realized Yuu was covered in red demon marks, “What the hell happened to him Guren?” Narumi nearly yelped out. Both the leaders rushed to him as he continued walking with purpose down the hall, the commotion catching the attention of those in the lounge. Who looked out to share in the look of horror seeing the state their team member was in, as Yoichi lunged out of the room with wide eyes, “Guren-Sama what happened to him is he okay!” the small brunette yelled. Guren stopped knowing he wasn’t going to get any further once the rest of Shinoa’s squad practically blocked his way. “He’s fine now, I'll explain briefly but can you guys move so I can settle him into bed” almost immediately they parted out of the way and Kimizuki opened the teens bedroom door. Mikaela moved his blankets as Guren gently settled him down, the blonde cautiously moving his limbs so that he would be in a comfortable position if he awoke later that night. Pulling the blankets up and tucking him in he stared down sadly, tucking some black hair behind the younger boy’s ear, it tore the vampire apart seeing the state his dearest friend was in. As they left the bedroom, Mika’s nimble finger flicked the light switch and he made sure the thermometer was set precisely at seventy degrees and the heat was on. With one more glance back he felt everything was to his standard and as quietly as he could, shut the door as if he were scared to wake him. The others stared at the superior officer intently, waiting to hear the mans explanation, “Guren, don’t sugar coat it just tell us straight what happened”. Mika started causing the man to look behind him. “I don’t want a single one of you going anywhere alone until this thing is either captured or killed, whatever it was got away from us and it chased Yuu from the supplies store up to the Commander's office. Yuu wasn’t able to tell us much but he needed his demon to get away from it, as far as we know it isn't a human or a vampire we’re dealing with. So don’t ask me anymore questions until after the meeting I'm sure to be called into, I'll have more answers for you all then, understood”. As much as they wanted answers they knew from the look in Guren’s eye he was in no mood to argue or discuss it anymore, so all they could do was nod and hoped that what he told them was true. Watching helplessly as Guren marched down the darkened hallway seeing his silhouette disappear around the corner.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     That was two hours ago, two whole quiet hours they’ve sat silently in the dining room trying to figure out what on earth they just heard. “So, anybody else fucking confused as all hell or is it just me” Narumi spoke, finally breaking the silence. Mitsuba shook her head, “no, I'm lost myself” she agreed rubbing her temples and flipping her blonde hair back off her shoulder that she’d let out of her twin tails. “I think I might have an idea, but it’s just a speculation” Kimizuki offered, catching everyone's attention as he sat up from the leaned back chair. “Shinoa, remember when we all had just met at the school, you were just teaching us about the demon weapons and you took Yuu and Yoichi down to that shrine beneath the school”. The dualist explained watching the scythe wielder nod as she sat up more, “there was that kid, I don’t remember his name but the one I heard who’d broken into that place and tried to get a weapon, he got possessed or so I heard? What if we’re dealing with someone or something like that, it would make sense something like a lower leveled demon wouldn't be nimble. Or as strong as a vampire but they’d show inhuman strength because of the demon’s own strength and capability. He had no control and going against something like that you’d need to use your own demon right? Just a thought but it would be the most logical thing for being inside the city right”. The others could only agree, “Oh yea, his name was Yuji he was a friend of those kids that used to bully me a lot until Yuu helped me. I remember that day Shinoa brought us down there with Yuu-Kun, he trespassed into the army's restricted testing areas and was possessed but he was incredibly strong because of the demon but nothing compared to our own”. Yoichi perked up as he recalled the faithful day. As the others continued to talk, Mika could only sit back and listen being he was concerned only for Yuu’s safety and well, he’d be needing to understand what he was up against. As he sat however he caught a whiff of something familiar that satiated him, but unless it was caused by his own fangs, he never wanted to smell the sweet irony smell of blood, and it was coming from the direction of Yuu’s room. He stood up and silently lurked out of the dining room somehow again slipping away undetected as he trudged down the dark hallway, being the only lights on were the one in the dining room. The smell grew more pungent until he stood outside the room and from here he heard a voice that didn't belong in that room, without thinking he slammed the door open revealing a scene that made every drop of blood in his body come to a boiling point.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     It had felt like days but Yuu woke form his conversation with Asuramaru, feeling confused as he now peered down to the dark wood floor of his dark bedroom. The room smelling slightly off almost damp, he moved his limbs slightly seeing he’d fallen asleep on his stomach again. He suddenly felt an ice cold breeze on his leg and arm that made him reach for his blanket, but finding that no matter where he placed his hand nowhere he felt the soft material of the blanket. Growling over the hindrance he sat up only opening his eyes halfway as he felt the surprisingly soft material of the big v-neck he was wearing fall off his shoulder. Turning his head to look behind him he saw the black crumpled mess crunched up against the wall as he reached for his blanket, but another cold breeze made him look up. Seeing the large window was wide open and the black curtain was dancing in the breeze that fluttered in, the chill made Yuu bring a hand up to his side as he froze, remembering something very important.   His window was busted and could only be opened if pushed from the outside.   His eyes stayed dead locked on the window, not taking in the details as if he were staring outside, he wasn't really staring at anything in particular. He just had a deep seeded fear that whatever pushed his window open would have to be inside his bedroom. His calling was answered though when from the corner of his eye he saw a shift in the shadows besides his desk and closet. His eyes still stayed on the window, even when he felt himself shivering from the fear and the cold air, even when his lungs barely expanded out to let air in. Not moving for anything in fear of what he’d see if he looked to the corner of his room, that's when he heard it through, and what he heard?   A deep chuckle that resonated in the pin drop quiet room, and stopped the emerald eyed boy’s heart completely.   “One never understand real beauty until they see true fear grace the face of an angel, and oh how delicious it looks on yours, Yuuichirou Hyakuya”. The deep manly voice purred almost, as the sound of ever so slow footsteps started against the hardwood floor. Getting closer and closer until the feeling of his presence was behind him making the hair on the back of his neck stand stiff. The feeling of two fingers, jump starting his already racing heart were then placed just underneath Yuu’s chin. Forcing him to stiffly tilt his back and up, to face what he feared the most, which towered above him in a dark black JIDA trench coat. Yuu let out a small whimper as he saw the eye in which he never wished to see again, staring down at him with a sinister amusement. The lips of the large man above him perked up into a devilish grin as he felt Yuu shake in his hold, “I told you didn't I” he started. Suddenly pushing the katana wielders body back onto the bed pinning his wrists within his own larger hand. “You can go ahead and run all you want but it’s too late” he said, placing a knee between Yuu’s legs making him spread them wide open. As the beast ran his finger up a tan knee, spreading his hand out to softly squeeze his soft plush inner thigh making Yuu blush in embarrassment. ”You can fight and hide behind as many of those little friends as you want, but in the end” he continued, reaching up and unzipping his jacket revealing his rippling muscular body covered in black demonic markings. Slipping one arm out Yuu saw a strange chain link almost tattoo running out from the loose fitted bandage covering his forearm. The hand reached down to run up his thigh again, stopping just below the small bulge in the boxer briefs material to circle up and under the cloth on his hip. Reaching up and behind to grope at the small teens larger than life ass causing Yuu to squeal out and a heated blush to overtake his face. The hand then trailed up the V line pushing the shirt up to trace the hills and valleys of his soft but well defined four pack. “I’ll win and you know why, Yuu-Chan” he whispered mockingly, holding his hand up as a strange shadow leaked out from the bandaging. Yuu felt like he was losing his mind as he watched the chain tattoo move and the shadows began forming a shape, which defined into a black chain scythe. He stared wide eyed at the wickedly sharp blade that the beast twisted and turned in his hand, glancing between it and his quivering body. Watching as his grin only grew wider as if an idea suddenly came to him and he looked Yuu dead in the eye. “I win because you belong to me now” he growled harshly, moving the tip of the blade just beneath the raven’s last right rib, and pushed until Yuu felt a sharp sting of the blade penetrating his skin. He started letting out a whimper when the hand that had been holding his wrist covered his mouth, as he stared up fearfully at the others feral grin. He felt suddenly the blade begin moving down and his hands shot up to grip at the arm restraining his mouth, remembering his, Narumi’s squad and Mika are just outside the door. As his eyes flashed to the door he heard another chuckle, “nobody's coming to save you now my pretty little angel, now be good and stay still”. He felt tears start streaming down his face and the pain worsened as the blade slowed at his hip bone, picking up and start to cut again towards his sternum. He threw his head back trying to kick but he then realized at some point the man above him must’ve gotten closer because their crotched were flush with one another as basically Yuu’s legs were around the others hips. When he tried kicking however it only caused his hips to move and grind against the jeans of the other and he felt nauseous as he felt a rock solid huge bulge press against his entrance. The other emitted a long lusty groan as he also looked down at Yuu and roughly thrusted up against the young teen like he was thrusting something else inwards. “You can keep doing that sweetheart, but be patient though, once I'm through branding you I'll mark you as mine in that way too”. You nearly cried out now as the blade finished coming down ending next to his belly button, and he watched the hand holding the blade move to unbuckle his belt and undo his pants. Smirking as he snatched one of the half demon’s hands and moved it into his pants and past his underwear elastic band. Situating his smaller hand to wrap around the girth of something hard, hot and pulsing, he could barely wrap around the beefy prick and as he accidentally squeezed trying to remove his hand he heard the other moan out. Suddenly the iron grip on his wrist starting moving up and down, making his hand somewhat start stroking the length in small spurts with the limited amount of room he could. Hearing the small groans coming from the other and he smirked, “good boy, you like how big I feel in your hand don’t you” he growled. Before he could say or try anymore though the door exploded open and in the entry of it stood a murderous looking Mikaela Hyakuya. The anger radiated off him in heated waves as his eyes were practically glowing like burning embers, at that moment he had one motivation in life, and that was to kill the man pinning Yuu down. The blonde carefully closed the door and stepped inside the room, grinning in a way that sent shivers down the back of the towering beast. “I’ll take my gamble your the one who attacked my Yuu-Chan earlier, and for that you’ll pay dearly, but then you come back like the fool you are.” The blonde growled lowly, the grip on Yuu let go as the man got off the smaller boy, “oh yea and what are you going to-” he stopped mid sentence as he actually looked at the raging man, noticing Mika and more importantly, his scarlet irises and fangs. “Bullshit, you can’t be a fucking vampire, h-how the hell did you get into the Japanese Imperial Demon Army barracks” he stammered, shaking as Mika got closer. He looked around and quickly down at Yuu, he smirked and snatched the teenager up holding him against his chest with the blades tip pressed tight against his stomach. "Do you want to watch your little boy toy get gutted fucker, take one more step and his organs will be on this floor in seconds I swear to-” but before he could finish his sentence. Mika was but a few inches from his face, wrenching Yuu’s body away, holding him tightly against his side which the green eyed soldier partially buried himself in. “I certainly despise being one, unfortunately for you though I'm not just any vampire, have you ever fought a Noble vampire, rat?” he hissed. With a growl the other ran towards him and Mika could only smirk at the clumsy attempt of an attack that he could easily dodge six times over before he could reach him. Without seemingly an ounce of effort Mika swung his free arm back blocking the arm that sung down towards him and smiled up. Seeing the look of dread on the brooding giants face and with nothing but the flick of his wrist, flung the man through the window hard. Hearing the sounds of multiple things breaking and shattering until a car alarm rung out, basking in his little glory before hearing a small whimper to his left. Quickly he sat down on the bed with Yuu and lifted his shirt, the wound wasn't at all deep, there was only a few points that had some beads of blood, but the cuts were superficial, small, just a tease thankfully. Though what truly got to the taller boy wasn’t just the cut on his precious Yuu’s stomach, but the shape it created, a capital letter K. Before he could study it anymore, Yuu practically launched himself into Mika’s lap, he wasn’t crying per say but shaking and gasping to the point it scared the vampire. He felt so angry but so confused at what the meaning behind the letter was, why on earth if anything was it a ‘K? It circled Mika’s mind endlessly, trying to think of anything or anyone from previous encounters or conversations. No matter what though his mind could only draw up a blank, he couldn’t really even think as the exhaustion of the day caught up to him. He glanced over at the analogue clock on the nightstand besides Yuu’s bed as he ran his hand up and down the others shaking back. The red numbers indicating it was two-thirty seven in the morning, “Yuu, let’s get your stomach cleaned up and get you back to bed, it’s way too late for you to be up especially when you really need the rest”. Mika said softly as he pulled the green eyed boy up, leading him across the room and out the door hearing the voices still in the dining room. “What are they still doing up, don’t we have training tomorrow morning” Yuu muttered, looking down at the cylinder of light that painted the wall opposite the dining room entry. Hopping up onto the bathrooms sink counter and pulling his shirts up to let Mika wipe away at the wound. “I doubt these will even need bandages, considering you can heal quickly this most likely will be gone by the time you wake up” he explained, wiping away at the wound. He inspected the cut and after he couldn’t see or smell any blood, gathered up the few first aid supplies and replaced them into their respective locations. He led Yuu back into his bedroom fumbling around with the window just as the smaller teen started laying back down. After securing it closed somehow to the ravens surprised, he watched as Mika jumped down and started taking his socks off. Turning around after he pulled his black shirt off as he tossed it onto the desks chair, he turned to the wide eyed blushing boy who was staring at Mika’s surprisingly well defined torso. It brought a snarky smirk to the larger males face as he almost gloated at the fact his childhood friend was practically drooling. “Trying to catch flies now Yuu-Chan” he teased as he got comfy on the bed next to Yuu, making him snap out of his state. “N-no just shut up you bastard, what are you doing thou- woah woah woah now where are you putting your hands buddy” Yuu burst out embarrassingly. Feeling Mika pulling his body flush against his as his finger ran up and down his hip, making the blonde chuckle. “I’m just getting comfy Yuu, it’s no different than what I did when we were kids in the vampire city” he whispered. Yuu turned to watch the pale fingers dancing in circles on his raised up hip, blushing a little at the small gesture “I think those hands have a different purpose now then they did when we were kids”. “Hmm Yuu-Chan” he hummed, leaning up to whisper into Yuu’s ear. “I’ve only been in your bed for a minute and your already thinking about me doing such, dirty things to you?”. Mika whispered kissing the shell of Yuu’s ear that quickly grew bright red matching the rest of the boy’s face. He barely dodged the fist that came flying backwards towards him, laughing at the distraught look on the other teens face. Watching as he slammed his hand against the blonde’s chest a few times making him laugh because it barely affected him. Yuu snatched the blanket up to cover his face practically, which had in toll took most of Mika’s share of the warmth away. “Shut up you stupid idiot I hate you” he muttered, groaning when he felt arms wrap around him nearly taking his breath when the vampire forgot his own strength as Mika kissed his temple. “I love you too Yuu-Chan” he giggled, settling down when he had not heard anymore remarks from the boy in his arms. ‘If only you knew the truth behind it Yuu-Chan’ Mika thought to himself, as he snuggled closer to the warm lithe body closing his eyes.
