Cold blooded (Soukoku)

Chapter 5

As the brunette rushed forward towards Kouyou, she gulped as she continued to stand protectively in front of Chuuya and Kunikida. The blonde behind her was reloading silver bullets into his gun to try to help the situation. He was struggling to place the bullets into the barrel when he noticed the brunette rushing right at them. The three felt their hearts palpitating wildly against their rib cages. As Dazai reached for Kouyou, the lady braced herself. However, Dazai's hand gripped onto her shoulder instead of her neck and the brunette did a flip and balanced himself on the table behind the trio. His eyes turning back into his caramel brown ones, Dazai chuckled as he sat, cross legged on the table while taunting, "I was joking. Don't be so tense." With that, he continued laughing with Kouyou giving a surprised look. Chuuya face-palming himself and hitting Dazai on the back of the head. Dazai yelped in pain as he rubbed his head while pouting. Kunikida sighed as he kept his gun and some spare bullets. "Smart bastard..." the blonde mumbled to himself as he walked forward to give the brunette another hit on the head. Kouyou stood rooted tot he ground as she slowly walked forward to Dazai and patted him gently on the shoulder. Kouyou flinched slightly when Dazai turned to her with his eyes red. The brunette laughed it off. "You scent is like the ampere who attacked me. That's why I did what I did." Dazai tilted his head in confusion, "Must be because I've been lingering around corpses attacked by that certain vampire everyday." Kunikida massaged his temples, Dazai really was the going to talk about the fact that he didn't tell anyone that he was a vampire. How did he pass the tests anyway, that was the number one burning question in Kunikida's mind. Kouyou gestured for everyone to sit down and make themselves comfortable as she explained what happened.

It seems that Kouyou was also a vampire and was attacked by the vampire slayers main enemy.she somehow survived by shoving the vampire off her and stalling time for her to run but she was injured. The vampire chased until Kouyou reached the main streets than the vampire disappeared. People on the main streets, upon noticing her, called an amubulancew and Kouyou was whisked away. She managed to evade any predictions and questions whether she was a vampire or not. "Did he look like anyone you know or seen before?" Dazai questioned as he rocked his chair mindlessly. "I feel that I have met him before but I can't put my finger in it..." Dazai nodded as he stood up and stretched. Kunikida bowed and thanked Kouyou before heading to the door. That was when the pink haired lady pulled Dazai by his arm and observed Dazai's hand. The wound was already a scar. It healed already. Her eyes narrowed as she eyed Dazai who was giving her a confused look. "You heal rather fast, don't you?" Dazai looked at his own hand and shrugged." Kouyou and Dazai kept silent with Chuuya standing behind Kouyou, Kunikida was already out of the door waiting for the other two. After a few minutes, she asked, "You weren't born a vampire, right?" Dazai's eyes widened as he nodded. Kouyou gently let go of Dazai's arm and sighed. "I guessed so..." with that, she hugged Chuuya one last time before sending them both out with Kunikida in the car waiting for the both of them. Dazai delightedly walked towards the car with Chuuya slowly trailing behind. When they all got in it's the car, Kunikida sighed, he decided to bring the topic up, "Dazai...we need to tell the rest of the vampire slayers that you're a vampire. You know that right?" The brunette hummed along and that's when Kunikida clicked his tongue in annoyance, "Also, how did you pass the vampire tests. Is the machine broken?" Dazai chuckled and shook his head, "it's working alright. Just that I managed to escape all the tests!" Kunikida face-palmed himself as he started driving, "and you're proud of that?" His tone full of disbelief. Dazai laughed as he nodded and admitted, "I actually am. It's hard to prevent fretting tested." Kunikida sighed, "Dazai, I would be kicking you right now if I wasn't driving." Dazai agreed with Chuuya sighing as well.

When the three of them reached the vampire slayer office, Dazai got nervous and hastily turned around to run away but got stopped by Chuuya who forcefully dragged him to the office since he couldn't use his ability on Dazai. If he wanted, Dazai could easily overpower Chuuya, he was a vampire after all. However, he knew even if he ran, what good would that bring him. He knew he had to tell the truth one way or another. He just wasn't expecting to tell all of them this early. When the rest of the vampire slayers saw Chuuya dragging Dazai in, they found it normal. That was until Kunikida announced he had something important to tell everybody and it caught Fukuzawa's attention. Chuuya let go of Dazai and huffed. He glanced at the brunette who felt awkward with everyone staring at him and Chuuya noticed Dazai giving him a pleading look. The ginger sighed, "Why don't Dazai give you a guys a example and you all will understand." Dazai gave a thankful look at Chuuya as he decided on what to show. He was thinking of just wasting everyone's time and everyone will leave because of boredom so he won't have to tell anyone. Clicking his tongue in annoyance at waiting for Dazai to say anything for the past 5 minutes, he gave Dazai a glare for him to hurry up. However, the ginger knew what Dazai was planning to do and punched Dazai's side. Dazai clutched his side and gave Chuuya a weird look. The ginger was getting impatient, "Well, since waste of bandages here won't talk, I'll tell you for him..." Chuuya stopped himself to glance at the brunette who slowly nodded at him. "He's a vampire." Chuuya continued as he waited for the ear piercing scream from the rest. It didn't come though so Chuuya sighed in relief. However, he was deeply mistakened when the screaming started after he sighed in relief. "Evidence that he is a vampire?! Evidence?" Yasano spoke up while shaking Dazai back and forth. Upon hearing that, Dazai' eyes turned a glowing red as he glared Yasano down tot he ground. Feeling a if her soul had left her body, she backed away slowly, only for her to trip and almost fall if Dazai didn't grab her by the arm. "Watch your step." Dazai bluntly said as he let go of Yasano. The doctor stared in disbelief. We're the tests wrong? Rampo and her took w years at least to make the tests, how could it fail them now? Rampo was thinking the exact same thing when he glanced at Yasano, shocked. Even he didn't know, Dazai hid everything perfectly. He didn't show any signs of being a vampire. He felt pain when Chuuya of Kunikida hit him and his eyes never turned red. Was he wrong the whole time? The raven-haired walked forward to Dazai, his green silts staring staring Dazai who noticed that and awkwardly coughed. "How did you pass the tests?" Dazai knew that Rampo would ask that and he smirked. "I used the magic of the human's eyes! You only could see me from the glass panel separating us. You should have placed glass panels where you could see me at every angle. I tricked your vision into thinking everything was attached to me but it wasn't." Rampo stared in disbelief and everyone noticed that and they all glanced at each other. Rampo wasn't the type to be easily shocked, especially when he one of the world's greatest detectives. Dazai just ruffled Ramo's hair and assured him that there was nothing wrong with the tests. Rampo pouted as Dazai chuckled. Rampo was older than him but still acted like a kid. Fukuzawa who was observing and listening to everything, stood behind Rampo and look at Dazai who gave a smile. "Nothing changes. Since we know that Dazai is a vampire now, this will give us an advantage in killing more pure blooded vampires." Everyone nodded as Dazai's smile faded but no one noticed. Of course no one did. He hid it well...
