Chapter:1-Human or a vampire?
______________

                I was wondering where to go after that incident. I ran for about an hour, holding my neck which was bitten. Bitten by a monster that slaughtered my family. I was breathing heavy, my head was spinning and I was about to lose consciousness. Just then, I ran inside of an antique shop. I was huffing and insanely exhausted. I opened the door and stepped inside while shutting it behind me. "S-someone here?" I said in a shrill voice as my vision started to blur. 

               "Welcome, how may I- oh my miss, are you alright?" A tall boy with long hair stepped outside the room behind the reception, he was elegantly dressed in a Kimono and wore a glass in his left eye. "I- I need some h-help... T-there w-was a... a..." I stuttered while pointing towards the door as he knelt down and held my shoulders.

             "Try to relax a bit miss, I'm willing to help you with your case here. First I suggest you get your wounds dressed. That wound on your neck looks fatal." He said and turned my head so as to get a view of the wound I was covering with my hand. He moved the blood drenched hand and looked at the wound. He frowned, "Miss, were you bitten?" He said and I flinched. "P-please don't k-kill me..." I said in a shrill voice.

                "Oh. no, I won't kill you. You may still survive." He said and brought a first-aid kit to dress my wound. "Though I cannot say for sure if you'll have your humanity." He said and started wrapping a bandage around my neck. "What a soft and tinder neck. I am amazed it didn't break. How long has it been since you were bitten?" He questioned. "A-about an hour?" I said as he looked at me in shock. "You've not changed yet?" He questioned in amazement.

                 I shook my head as he picked me up in his arms. "It's alright, maybe the fangs didn't leave any virus inside you." He said and walked inside, he then gently placed me down on a comfortable bed. "We'll see till tomorrow, the code zero's unit maybe willing to take you in. Your blood seems different." He said and walked to the door but stopped, "Oh and My name's Shinnosuke Tenmaya. I am the owner of this shop." He said with a smile and left. 

               I still couldn't trust Shinnosuke, though I was thankful to him. Later on, he came back to me, "May I check your wounds?" He questioned and I sat up with a nod. "Shinnosuke-san, Back at my house... there was a weird creature... a vampire." I mumbled as he dressed my leg and rose up to my neck. "I see, what did it do?" He asked as he slowly took down my bandage and I hissed in pain, "Oh, apologies." He said and gently took it off. "It sucked my mother dry... then tore off my father's limbs..." I said as he took off the bandage completely and looked at me. "What's your name girl?" He asked with a serious face. "C-Chiiyuki Shizukari..." I said while putting an arom on my neck's wound. "Shizukari? You're from the Shizukari's group?" He said and I lowered my head. "Yes, I'll leave after a few days... just let me stay here until it's safe. I'll pay you." I said with watery eyes. 

           "It's not about money... to think that the Shizukari's were murdered..." He said and sat beside me. "The virus was there, but for some reason, you didn't transform into a vampire, or die of the poison." He said. I gulped, I knew about that. I was bitten before, but didn't ever turn into a vampire. "How do you know that the virus was there?" I said while avoiding his gaze. "It's the crest that you have on your neck now." He said while tracing the crest on my neck and I flinched again. "This is a special case, your blood seems to be different. I will contact Yushinobu and see what can be done." He said and stood up. "Now if you'll excuse me." He walked outside of the room. "S-shinnosuke-san!" I called out to him. "hmm?" he peeked his head inside. "Th-thank you." I said as he gave me a shocked look, but then softened his smile. "Don't thank me. I may have pushed you into hell." he said and walked away 

"Hah..." I sighed and plopped on the mattress, slowly closing my eyes into a tranquil sleep.

"...."

"... I assure you..."

'huh? What's that voice?'

"Then if she didn't turn into one, then what is she?" I rubbed my eyes.

                    "Please wait until she wakes up. I suppose you can respect her privacy." I heard Shinnosuke's voice. I stood up somehow and made my way to the door which suddenly opened up, "Oh- Chiiyuki, you're awake. Good, The Code Zero's leader has come to meet you." He said and helped me outside. I saw two of them, an old looking man with a uniform and a katana. And the other was a pink haired man with a lab coat and an eye patch. "Chiiyuki Shizukari?" The man said as the other one gleamed with joy the very moment he saw me. "Y-yes..." I said looking at the other man with pink hair. 'What a strange man...' I wondered and he stepped closer to me, bent his body and stared at my neck. He then gave me a charming smile, and moved around in circles looking all over me. "You're really interesting! Crimson blood really is the best!" He said. "Takeuchi, stop, you'll freak her out." The other man said. 

                       "I am Yushinobu Maeda. I will be taking you in the code Zero's vampire unit. Also, this is Takeuchi, you'll be under his supervision till he investigates you properly." He said and offered me a black uniform with a plated skirt and red ribbons. "Get changed and we'll be leaving." He said and I nodded. I went inside the room and combed my hair, then I put on my uniform. I hesitantly came outside, "Now now, don't be shy!" Takeuchi pulled me outside and I gasped. Shinnosuke looked at me for a moment but when our gaze met, he blushed away. "T-this is a bit... exposing..." I said trying to cover my legs. "Oh it's alright, only your knees and your upper calf is exposed." Takeucki said and looked closer into my legs. "What smooth skin, you'll make the perfect test subject." He said. "Takeuchi." Yushinobu said in an irritated tone as he backed off.

                 I thanked Shinnosuke again, "Chiiyuki, Come to meet me again alright?" He smiled. "Yes!" I said with a bright smile and waved at him as I walked outside of the store. Shunnosuke took care of me for three whole days. I was very thankful to him. I stepped outside, looking at the yellow moon and the red lights of the night. "Come on." Takeuchi said as he gestured me to sit beside him in the car. The other car was the one in which Yushinobu sat.

                          "Yes..." I said and sat beside him. "So, Chii-chan, we're friends now, so feel free to tell me everything." Takeuchi said and I backed off a bit. "Yes..."

'Maybe I was saved or... was pushed inside of a hell?'

•○●◇●○•---TO BE CONTINUED...

Next time- Chiiyuki meets the other vampires. 

"Wait, you don't feel the urge to drink blood?"

"You've been bitten twice right? Maybe you won't turn into a vampire."

"Then are we free to bite her?"

CHAPTER SECRETS-
