Samurai's Red Eyes (Vampire Knight/ Prince of Tennis Fanfic)

Suspicions Growing and Answered...

Echizen Ryoma went home without any problems and slept well but in the middle of the night, he dreamed about the time he was turned into a vampire. He remembered the night he felt something very warm and painful on his neck. Just like Zero's seal, the small seal is growing stingy and hurtful on his neck, enough for him to wake up. His eyes opened and it is definitely red. He felt abnormally thirsty and knew that he has to drink blood.

He took the tablets in his bag given by Yumiko and went at their restroom where he tried his best to take the blood tablets but it pained him that it wasn't enough and it's really true that he's turning into a real vampire. He looked at the mirror and when he looked at his teeth, he has fangs already. He locked himself inside their restroom to restrain himself from attacking his parents. He can smell their blood as if trying to persuade him to kill them. They have an obvious sweet-smelling scent of blood.

"I can't kill them! I don't want to kill them! Even blood is what I want! Yumiko's not around to save me! It's better if I die now!" he cried. He opened their bath tub, went inside and let the water cover all of his body.

He closed his eyes and said to himself, I must die... Yumiko and Kaname aren't here to save me...

The next day, Nanako saw flooding from the bathroom. "Someone has forgotten to close the faucet last night," she said. She opened the door and screamed in terror when she saw Ryoma inside the bath tub full of water after she closed the faucet.

Ryoma seemed lifeless and very pale.

Nanako calmed herself and quickly took him out of the bath tub and did the CPR. "Ryoma, you aren't the suicidal type!" cried Nanako.

Luckily, she had saved him from drowning. Ryoma opened his eyes and told her after he saw him. His eyes are back to hazel but his voice is weak and sad, "Why save me? You should have let me die to finish my suffering."

"What are you talking about?" asked Nanako but she wasn't answered back. Echizen closed his eyes again. Rinko dashed inside the bath room and she was also surprised to see his son feverish, pale and has a wound in his hand.

"What happened, Nanako-chan?" asked Rinko, Echizen's mother.

"He... he's cold a...and he has a wound on his hand like it was bitten by a snake. Also, he said something I don't understand," she said.

Nanjiroh, upon hearing that, carried Ryoma's small body back at his room after they dried him. Luckily, it was Sunday and he was asleep most of the day. The next day, his cousin woke him up to go to school. He opened his hazel eyes and looked at his right hand. It was covered with bandages, also, he gave him back the tablets she saw at their bathroom. His fever had gone down already.

"What exactly happened to you?" she tried to ask but what Ryoma only did is to take the box of tablets on her hand.

After that, he did ready himself to go to school and before he leave, Nanako asked him again, "Are you alright? You look pale."

"I'm fine. I'm leaving now," he said but his eyes hurt. He put on his cap and walked normally. His parents also stared at him.

"I'm getting worried for him. Why did he try to suicide?" Rinko asked Nanjiroh but he didn't reply back. He is also clueless.
...

Echizen was practicing that morning with Kikumaru Eiji and Inui with two on one match. He kept doing his twist serve to them and of course, Kikumaru used his acrobatic skills to return all his twist serves. Ryoma returned all the balls in every corner at the back. He targeted the center by doing his split step. Inui quickly said as he was Seigaku's data Man, "Going to the center, 85%" He easily took a point from Echizen. Echizen did another twist serve. His twist serve was returned by Eiji again and because the return went too far into the right corner where Echizen is, he ran where the ball is, but lost his balance upon his impact to the ball.
