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

Master and Lover's Love

"What are you talking about?" Oishi asked.

"Oishi-senpai, they're innocent. I may not like what I am right now but I have to accept it," he said.

All the eight regulars looked at each other questioningly, "Is he unconscious when he attacked me? Seems like what he only heard are our screams and not what we are talking about," Oishi said to the others while Eiji nodded and folded his arms. 

"Yeah, yeah, Ochibi seemed clueless and just spoke like that to us, poor boy."

Tezuka answered him, "We know that, Echizen."

"B-but...," he was really surprised. The moon is already rising. Night is coming closer.

Momo replied next, "I told everyone what I saw inside the Locker Room, also, Inui-senpai also added his data on what happened this morning to you. We all know how you became a vampire, too."

"So, does that mean since prefecturals, you are already a vampire?" Kaido asked.

It was Zero who answered him, "He's still human but his body slowly becomes a vampire. Now, he's really a vampire. I do think he struggled for months. I struggled for years before I become one and just like him, I refused my master several times until she died. As we begin to be a vampire, we feel very thirsty whenever we lose blood or someone cut themselves. For a time, we can control it but as time pass by, we will lose ourselves and by the help of purebloods, even they are not our master, we feel our hearts contented already and our thirst goes away, preventing us from falling into Level E but the best way to stay as a Level D is to drink your master's blood. The Level E are vampires who already lost themselves. "

"Zero didn't drink his master's blood but he's with me, so, if he loses himself, I'm here. Right, Zero-kun?"

"Yeah."

One of his senpais turned to Ryoma. "If you knew already that you'll get very thirsty for blood when you lose blood or when someone cut themselves, you know that you cannot control your thirst anymore. They told us that they went here to persuade you to drink her blood and at the time you refuse her, you're only drinking the blood of Kaname and Yuki. Why didn't you drink her blood, quickly?" Kawamura asked him.

Echizen lowered his red eyes and looked at Yumiko and so, she told him, "Answer him honestly. I am curious about that, too."

Echizen put her closer to him, and replied, "I can't accept it at first that I'm a vampire. I was confused and afraid but upon realizing that she wanted to help me, I knew I have to accept. She didn't force me to drink her blood. She was just always there to stop me. In the end, I realized I have to accept her offer. I almost killed Sakuno."

They were not surprised, rather, sad that the Echizen whom they once knew is dead but the other vampires kept reminding them that he's still the same person they know. The only difference is that, Yumiko will always be with him and he's a vampire who'll be studying in the Night Class of Cross Academy, too but for now, they'll be letting the master and servant some privacy.

"Why don't you continue? You're still thirsty, right Echizen-kun?" Yuki said.

Echizen knew she was right and so, he told them, "Why, you are all still here. Go home."

"Yeah, let's give them privacy, Tezuka," Fuji said. Everyone knows that he is the most surprised among the team. They left afterwards.

Yuki and Zero stayed outside the room while waiting for them to finish.
...

Echizen sat on the floor as he and Yumiko were left behind inside the room. Echizen kept drinking her blood. He knew that it is really the blood meant for him because she is the woman that changed him permanently. He felt very much connected to her now. It's like, he won't live without her. He finally finished drinking and his hazel eyes finally went back.
