The old woman looked at the two of us and my eyes moved in the direction to look at Kazu-kun but he looked mortified. She said something, didn’t she? A name….Yuna.
Who is this Yuna woman? I don’t think there was someone in Kazu-kun’s life that I have seen. I know every person he ever talked to since the day I started….being next to him all those years ago but there was no one by that name who ever met Kazu-kun. Could she be….someone he knew even before?
But even if he does, who is she? What relation does she have with my Kazu-kun? Another woman trying to steal him from me? If she tries, I will kill her.
SNAP
The sound resonated in the place but the passerby didn’t even look around to see what was going on. It was as if they didn’t even hear the sound in the first place. But that cannot be- no, if it’s Dominic we are talking about, it can be possible. By what Akira told us, he is supposed to have different abilities but that shouldn’t be possible. How can a noble have different abilities? Even the first had one ability so this makes zero sense to me.
"Well, now that Shiba Kazuki is sleeping, how about we have a little chat Ai," the woman’s voice slowly turned into that of an old man and in a voice that I can spot instantly. Even now, the voice sent chills down my spine. The old lady’s body start to change into a body that was way too familiar for me.
Dominic.
My eyes start to glow and my fangs start to sharpen as the blood lust in me started skyrocketing. This bastard was the one who killed both my parents. It was because of him that they are not with me anymore.
ALL BECAUSE OF HIM.
I WILL KILL HIM.
"Don’t you dare say my fucking name!" I shouted charging at him, ready to take his head off his shoulder.
"Woah there," he said and stopped my hand without even raising his hand. Wait, what is going on? Why did my hand stop? Just a few inches more and he is dead. Why did it stop?!
Suddenly I felt a crushing force pushing me down and I got down to my knees. How is this possible? He didn’t even move. Could it be…?

"Command, a power a stronger vampire has over his subordinates. With one word they can make them do whatever he wants. You know what that is right my dear Ai," he said walking towards him and holding my face by my chin. I stared into his eyes and could just see eternal darkness in them. It was pure disgustingly evil. My body starts to shiver in fear of the anticipation of what he is going to do. No, I need to move. I have to protect Kazu-kun.
I looked at him but he just stood there with his eyes closed. The passerby bumped into him but reacted as if there was nothing. It was as if, we didn’t exist at all. Just locked away in a bubble.
"But you know, the bigger the difference in power is, I can even do that with just a thought in my mind," Dominic said with a disgusting smirk on his face. "If I want, I can ask you to just kill yourself and you will happily comply."
"W-w-what d-d-do you w-want from us?" I said with my voice stuttering in fear.
Hearing that, his smirk even widened and he suddenly started laughing. "Beautiful! Really beautiful! That look of fear on your face…ahh, it’s been so long since I saw that," he said and started laughing sadistically. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Slowly his laugh was getting more maniacal, completely opposite his calm and soothing voice. He let go of my face and then walked over to Kazu-kun, my body instantly reacted and I somehow overcame the command and jumped right between them. My nails sharpened and I started growling at him.
"Oh my, so you overcame the effect of my command," he said and snickered to himself. "You never fail to surprise me A-"
"Don’t you say my name from your disgusting mouth," I growled at him. If Kazu-kun wasn’t here I would have already charged right now but I need to protect him. He is far more important than my revenge on this bastard. I can kill him another time, no matter how long it takes. No matter if it kills me.
"You are the first person to ever counter my command like that who has been under the influence of it. You should be proud," he said and started lightly clapping his hands. "You have my respect for that."
Every word that he said just made my blood boil even more. I want to shut his mouth up so bad. The feeling of just stabbing a stake right through his heart is overwhelming. But not enough to let Kazu-kun all vulnerable. I looked behind me at him and he just stood there with his eyes closed and his face really peaceful. Ahh, look at him, looking so cute even right now. I’ll enjoy this meal later tonight.
"As for what I want from you two…" he started speaking and caught my attention. "….from Shiba Kazuki, I need his blood. He is having the blood of the first. And I have the lord of the night. She will wake up very soon but for her speedy recovery, I would like to offer Shiba Kazuki’s blood to her so she can wake up and I could enjoy my time serving her yet again. Ahh, I still remember the day. Even for a brief moment when I was woken up by her. Her striking red eyes shone so beautifully in the moonlight and her long luscious black hair flew with the wind. The view was just majestic. Her voice was cold yet gentle as that of a mother. I want that again. I want to see that again. I want to hear that again. I want to experience that again for as long as I am alive. I’ve waited too long and now is the time that I get what I want."
His breathing got more and more ecstatic as he was speaking. He got some loose screws in his brain I could tell that for sure.
"And from me?" I said and he stopped and looked at me. "What do you want from me?"
"Your body," he said with a smirk and a shiver went down my spine. I instantly took a step back in defense. "Don’t get me wrong, it’s nothing sexual if that’s what you are thinking," he said. "You will serve as the perfect vessel for the queen."
"What?"
"You see, the lord of the night has been asleep too long and even after she wakes up, her body won’t be adept enough to keep up with the immense power that she has. If she just continued living with how her body is. She will burst into many small particles with her own power. I, cannot let that happen. So, I searched this world for some decades, and not after too long, I found the perfect vessel. You."
As soon as he said that, my eyes widened at the realization.
"So that’s why…."
"Looks like you are catching up," he said and laughed. "Why else do you think I would come after you and your family? Mateo has been a runaway for so long and even if he ran away, I didn’t care. I have people far stronger than him to help me. And as long as it came to you being a half-vampire, again. I didn’t care. All I cared about what that you are the perfect vessel for the lord of the night. Why else would I waste my time killing some insects?"
"THEY ARE NOT INSECTS!" I shouted not being able to hold my anger anymore and rushed at him again.
"Immature," he muttered and swiftly dodged my attack and appeared right next to me. "Well since you are going to be her vessel, how about I train you a little."
I twisted my body and aimed a kick at his face but he side-stepped dodging that again. He was too quick for me. Argh, I cannot let him get away. Fighting in the Yukata is getting a bit hard for me. I don’t want to ruin it since Kazu-kun said he loved how I looked in this.
I landed on my feet and rushed at him again but he stood right behind Kazu-kun. Seeing that, I came to a quick stop with my nails lightly grazing his cheeks. Blood started flowing from that wound. Did I just hurt Kazu-kun? I just placed a wound on his cheek.
I…who was supposed to protect him….hurt him….
"I hurt Kazu-kun…" I muttered looking at the little blood on my nails. "I hurt him…I…hurt him…forgive me. Forgive me. Forgive me. Forgive me. Forgive me. Forgive me. Forgive me. I’m sorry Kazu-kun. I’m sorry. I’m sorry."
My mind went blank and I held my face in complete terror. I hurt him. The one I was supposed to protect, I just hurt him. I did that. These hands, they were the one.
Slash
"ARGH!" I screamed in pain holding my hand as it fell down and started to turn to dust. I must do this. I hurt my Kazu-kun. I should be punished. I deserved this. "FORGIVE ME KAZU-KUN!"
As my hand quickly regenerated back, my eyes were full of tears. I can’t forgive myself for this mistake. I hurt the one I love. No one can forgive such an act. No, it wasn’t just my fault. It was that bastard’s fault too. He stood right behind Kazu-kun. He made me hurt him. It was his fault too. His fault. Again. He again hurt someone I cared about.
And right then, the one thread I was holding onto…snapped.
"I WILL KILL YOU!!" I shouted rushing at him and he jumped back swiftly dodging every single one of my blows. Just let me get to him once, then I’ll end his life. "Stop fucking running away like a coward."
"You call it running away, I call it strategic retreat," he said mockingly at me. He is getting on my nerves. "And what a spectacle I just witnessed, just because you lightly grazed his cheek, you cut off your arm. What crazy love is this?"
"What do you even know about love?!" I shouted chasing him as he entered the woods. I found myself all alone, surrounded by trees looking for that asshole but I couldn’t find him. It was as if he just vanished. Ugh, I hate to use it but… "Akira."
Right as I said that, the brown-haired woman appeared right beside me and stood there in a defensive position. She could feel it from afar, I know that. She was close by and ready to join in whenever it was necessary. Even Kazu-kun knew that.
"I’ll take care of this bastard, you go protect Kazu-kun for me," I said to her without having my eyes off the trees for one second. "NOW!"
"As you say Ai-sama," she said and left to where Kazu-kun was.
"It’s amazing seeing you react like that just by a graze on the cheek," I heard his voice echo in the tree. "Then how about I try this."
"KAZUKI-SAMA LOOK OUT."
What?
Kazu-kun?!
NO!
