We all looked at each other thinking of what to do about this fact now. It was disclosed that I was slowly turning into a vampire and if something wasn’t done soon, I don’t know what was going to happen to me. Ethan explained to me how and why this was happening, which was something I had to tell them all, so that was one thing too.

"Honestly speaking, I was expecting as much," Ama opened surprising every one of us with her words. "I didn’t tell you all this before since it was just a theory. The fact that Kazuki-kun right here has the blood of the first also would have meant that he would also have the powers he would have but he can only unlock them if he was a vampire. Now that can happen in two ways, one is Kazuki-kun himself turns into a vampire."
"Or the blood of the first forces my body to turn into one since its powers aren’t something the limitation of the human body can withstand," I spoke out the other reason. "Ethan told me this."
"Precisely, and since human bodies are very ready and eager to adapt in any situation to survive, his body will transform and as we can see, it will not be a subtle one," Ama said and we all nodded. Ai looked at me with a worried look in her eyes and cupped my face in her hands caressing my cheeks. "But there is one more thing that is concerning me."
"And what is that?" Ai asked Ama and she got off her seat and got out a bunch of papers and files.
"I did some tests of Kazuki-kun and well I did see when he literally was bleeding from everywhere, all the wounds were healed very quickly. A bit too quickly actually that it was something I had never seen a human do, but…" Ama stopped for a second to recollect her thoughts. "It led him to his current situation. Yes, the human body takes a lot of energy itself to heal but it doesn’t really want to lose the ability completely, it does do that process slowly. That wasn’t something that happened with Kazuki-kun. This process is fast but it’s still within human limits."
So that’s why I was the way I was. My body felt weak because it consumed so much energy that even speaking properly made me fight for my life. Wait, if I had consumed this much energy just for healing, I would also need more energy than usual…how would I do that? Ugh, I can’t even think of an answer now. I am slowly losing energy for even that.
"And as soon as I realized that, I took countermeasures," Ama said. "Kazuki-kun needed energy and the human body, get it only through calories, and for that, Kazuki-kun would need to eat a lot more. I ordered in food for him and it should be on the way."
"Thank you for that Ama," Natsumi-san said and Ama just smiled.
"Oh, don’t mention it," she said and walked over to me and placed her hand on my head much to Ai’s discomfort. "I can at least do this for my Kazuki-k- "
"I’m sorry, what?!" Ai screamed and pushed Ama’s hand off of my head. "I am sitting here patiently this entire time seeing you do all this. I didn’t even do much about the fact of you putting Kazu-kun on your lap but can you not call him yours? Kazu-kun is mine and just mine. He does not belong to anyone else. No one."
Ama saw Ai speaking and laughed a little. She just looked at me and winked at me for some reason I didn’t understand. Honestly, at this point, my brain was not working properly at its best ability. I would love to understand and analyze everything that was going on but my body is not allowing me. It is just telling me to just sit in my place and do the thing I was supposed to do. Rest.
I decided to close my eyes and just relax my body. The food was on the way and I would love to eat all that but for that, I needed to rest to eat all that. Yes, I was indeed put on a drip injecting glucose in my body in the meantime but we knew it was not going to be enough. Moreover, the actual calories that I would need to come from some solid food and I hope Ama ordered something that tasted good and not something that tasted healthy.
Now look here, I am not someone who is very picky with his food and what he eats but even though I am an injured boy, I want to eat food that tastes good.
"Also Koto-kun," Ama called out to Koto and he stiffened up in place. "I do need some help of yours. The other S-class hunters will be coming here for their post-mission check-up and I need some help with things so can you please help me with those? I will reward you if you do that."
"I’ll help but I don’t really want any reward," Koto said and turned on his heels starting to leave the room realizing it was something that he had to do outside this room and that I needed to be left alone. Ai decided to stay with me and didn’t say much. She just kept patting my head and letting me rest on her lap and I enjoyed that to my fullest.
"Kazu-kun…" Ai said and I opened my eyes to look at her. "No need to say anything but I just want you to listen to me. It’s been some time since we have been together as a couple and there were things, I just wanted to tell you. Maybe I want to say things that I didn’t really say before since I didn’t really think it was time to say those."
I didn’t really believe Ai about the fact that there were things in her mind that she didn’t tell me because one thing I know about this girl, is she does not have a filter between her mind and mouth me. If she has to say something, she just says it. It doesn’t matter if it even comes down to her talking about killing someone. She just says it without even a little hesitation.
"It’s about my past, things I didn’t really tell you that happened to me. Also, the fact that I had been so…obsessed with you. Yes, I am in love with you but what I feel is not just mere love. It is an obsession. Straight up the feeling of wanting to have the person all to yourself and just yourself and not even let anyone who might even have the slightest of interest in you near you. I had done that, there were a bunch of girls in your middle school and actually, one of them had decided that she was going to confess to you," Ai explained and I just got confused. Wait, something like that happened? "Of course, you won’t really know about it since the girl never confessed to you. More like, she was not allowed to confess to you. You talked to her for only two months in total since she was in your class and she had developed feelings for you and I couldn’t let someone like that get near so. So, I did what I had to."
The worst part about Ai saying "I did what I had to" is that I don’t even know what she is talking about because it can range from asking the girl to not doing it or controlling her from not doing it to straight-up murdering the girl by torturing her to death. I really hope she didn’t do that second idea because I don’t really like that. I don’t really want to know that my girlfriend had tortured someone to death in an abandoned basement and then disposed of the body in the middle of nowhere.
"It was mainly because…Kazu-kun was someone who saved me back when I needed to be saved the most. My life is indebted to you," Ai said and started moving her hand on my chest gently. "That heart of yours had been always so kind even when I you found out I was some monster…well, you won’t really know what I am talking about. Let me tell you properly then…"
Ai said everything in a nostalgic tone and even though I don’t ever remember meeting Ai or having her as a part of life before high school, it all felt so unbelievable. I looked at her confused and she just gave me a soft smile and I heard words I didn’t expect to hear this soon.
"Let me tell you Kazu-kun, about the beginning of where I broke and got fixed at the same time and after that, till date."
