Bulkhead dropped Miko off at Jacks house that night, he had offered her to help with work( which she refused until he threatens her by taking the guitar ). She grumbles under her breath as Jack sighs annoyed, Miko wasn't listening and not responding properly. June hears this and leans over the couch with a small chuckle, it was funny

" Miko, come on you have to know this! "

" My brain is too tired to comprehend anything "

" You know this Miko! You just learned this today "

" Exactly! "

" Alright, why don't we calm down, Miko, I know you're getting frustrated but you need to finish your work "said June, her voice being nice to serious

" Sorry...I just..I don't understand...I'll go talk with YushiroSan. Sorry for wasting your time Jack "

" W-What?! No, it's okay! There's no need- Miko! "

" Goodnight "she said before closing the door

Jack sighs before rubbing his face, feeling a bit guilty. June walks over and rubs his shoulder, assuring her

" You're tense, relax. Maybe Miko needs a different method "June suggests

" I know mom, but...I don't know how. Any other method confuses me "

" I know honey, just give her some time "

Miko sighs, the lights from Jack's house disappearing as she walks under the night. She smells something like an iron tang but she dismisses it. As she continued walking she got dizzy as the smell became more unbearable

" What is this smell? "Miko mumbles as she raises her hand to her nose

This smells familiar...but not this intense though

" Kch! The smell of blood is so ba-...blood? "

Blood...the smell is blood

Miko slowly looks up and senses that it was coming from her house. Immediately she sprinted and dropped her folder without a thought as she head towards her house. Her vision blurred as her mind tried to tell her to leave, that the smell is killing her. It no longer smelled irony, but wet and pungent

" Mom! Dad! "

Miko gasps as she arrives at the broken-down door. She could've fainted then and there due to the smell alone

" Rio...Riko "

Tears flood down her face as she falls to her knees and touches the limped bodies of her youngest twin brothers. Disbelief filled her mind as her heart felt like it stopped entirely. The coldness touched her own cold hands as chills ran down her body. The sound of a soft thud echoed through the halls and Miko gasps before running

Running past the body of her other younger brother, Kio, on the couch, who seemed to be playing games. Her mother was in the hallway, cold as well. Miko stumbled as she felt herself go in and out of consciousness. She willed her legs to keep moving and startles at her brothers' bedroom

Niko was laying on his back, on the bed, blood gushing from his leg and chest. Her dad, a visible tear in his arm as a sword lays still beside him on the ground. Miko turns to her room and sees a bloody handprint on her door before turning back to her dad. She spotted movement and saw Niko's chest was rising slowly

" Niko! "Miko gasps as she runs over

Miko slides on the ground, her stockings sloshed on the blood-stained carpet which stained her. Her hands were placed on his chest and arm, feeling warmth, feeling beats. Panic races her mind on what to do, but one thought came across her head

YushiroSan

Raising his arm over her head, she picks him up and runs out of the house towards Yushiro's place. Thankfully it was nearby, and Miko practically kicked the door open, startling Yushiro from his painting

" Hey! Can't you see I'm- "

Yushiro gasps too seeing Miko's slightly disheveled hair due to the blood sticking to it, and her brothers' limp form on her back

" Put him on the bed in the nearest room "Yushiro hurries

" Yes! "

He almost flew off his seat in a hurry as he went to the medical cabinet and grabs all the items needed. There was a bottle of blood, a couple actually. Yushiro took one out but stopped as he looks it over questioningly. After a few seconds, he places it back and closes it before rushing to the room

" YushiroSan... "Miko quietly begs as Yushiro grabs the alcohol out

" Don't rush me "Yushiro hisses as he disinfects the area

Yushiro points out and Miko stammers before doing so. She paced the halls in front of the door as Yushiro takes an agonizingly long time to help her brother. A loud thud and Yushiro groaning made Miko turn around and enter the room again

" What happened?! "

" Miko! Careful "said Yushiro, standing up

Miko looks at her brother. Saliva drips from his shaking form as blood mixes with it. His scent changed and Miko looks at him in horror at his wild eyes. She stumbles back slightly as Yushiro stood in front of her, shielding her so she doesn't get hurt. He is a demon after all, and so is her brother now
