Dark Crimson Lovers : Blood

{9} History

"The side of his neck was a tattoo, only one person can give that tattoo to his followers, the same vampire lord who tried to kill Yuri 11 years ago..."

"What?"

Yuri covered her mouth with her hand, What is she talking about? Yuri took deep breaths, the three vampires looked at her worriedly, "Hey, we can just go back and not listen to what she says," Yokuya offered, Yuri shook her head, "No, I want to listen, it's my past and it is a crucial link between me and Elin," Yuri mumbled, the three vampires gave her uncomfortable looks but they continued to watch.

"What do you mean by that?" Koushou asked, Elin sighed. "I'm not going to tell you guys," She mutters and attempted to stand up, wincing at the sudden pain in her left shoulder blade. "Why not Elin? What's the problem now?" Akuma asked, annoyed. "I'll only drag you down deeper by telling you the truth, just keep your curious minds to yourselves till I finish what that bastard started," Elin muttered, she stood up and went to grab her bag when Iori grabbed her wrist and brought her down to his lap before he held her firmly on her waist with his hands.

"You know you don't need to hide from us right? So don't worry, we'll help you," Iori gave her a reassuring smile. Elin bit her lip and debated if telling her past was worth risking their lives. "Don't give us second thoughts, you can tell us when your ready," Koushou chuckled and went over to pay her head. She smile with gratitude, "Then, before I'm ready, will you help me take care of Yuri? I promised my late brother that I will take care of her," Elin averted her gaze to the sky, "And, I really want to see the sky again," She mutters softly. See the sky again? Yokuya thought, remembering what happened 6 years before, don't tell me ...

The four went and grab their bags before they proceeded to leave the alley when Elin stopped in her tracks, "Where is Yuri?" Elin asked, looking around for Yuri. Akito quickly and carefully slipped Yuri down towards a corner before instructing her to act natural before he went back to the rooftop and silently observes her with Senichi while Yokuya was lost in thoughts.

Yuri took a deep breath, "I - I'm here," Yuri stuttered. Elin quickly turned around and rushed to Yuri's side, "Are you alright? Did you see what happened there? Did you heard what I said?" Elin asked, looking at Yuri, frowning at each bruise and scar she saw on Yuri's face, arms and legs. "Y - yes, I saw what happened and heard everything," Yuri muttered, Yuri sighed and pulled Yuri into a tight hug. "Sorry, I should have just kept quiet and I shouldn't have gone against those gangsters and frightened you," Elin apologised. "And ... I should have came faster or else nothing would've happened," Elin continued when her eyes landed on Yuri's injured ankle.

Her face hardens, "Can you walk?" Elin asked, Yuri tried to stand up but whimpered, her leg wasn't at any condition to walk. Elin gritted her teeth, trying to contain her anger. Before she knew it, Yuri was behind carried by Elin bridal style but she knew well Elin was injured from the way she winced and groaned but she ignored it and continued to carrying Yuri.

"E - Elin! Y - You don't have to!" Yuri exclaimed, feeling guilty that she made an already injured Elin carry her. "Don't worry, the mansion is nearby with my vampire super speed, so don't mind," Elin smiled and used her leg to lift Yuri's bag on the ground up and onto her hands. Elin winked and continued to walk, she said goodbye to the three boys and went speeding away to the mansion.

"Well my brothers, I guess that's the cue for us to head back to the mansion," Akito said, "Hey Senichi, remind me to talk to Kaoru later," Yokuya muttered. Senichi raised a brow but scoffed, "Whatever," He replied and the three vampires teleported themselves to the mansion when Elin came kicking the door (Well you can't blame her, she's carrying Yuri)

Shou, who was on the living room couch, couldn't stand the noise and teleported himself to the front door and opened it to see a bruised Elin carrying a bruised Yuri, "Thanks Shou," Elin muttered, avoiding eye contact since she still feels embarrassed about the earlier incident in class, "Excuse me Shou, could you please call either Ritsuki or Ryo to Yuri's room? Tell one of them that Yuri has wounds that needs to be treated," Elin bowed her head and carried Yuri up to her room with her last ounce of energy, once she makes sure Yuri was safely on the bed, she went over and slumped on one of Yuri's chairs.
