The Hunter and The Predator Leokumi

11|| Sacred Blood

Her transformation isn't the present that Iago promised, and Fujin can tell that her change is a surprise to everyone. Iago drops Mikoto as if he forgot his situation and turns to run. However someone won't let him.

Kamui roars another earth-shattering one and crouches like a puma. Then using her new power she sprints forward and pounces into the darkness. Chasing after Iago like its a game of cat and mouse. Fujin stands still as he can hear Iago begging again to tell him that he has been caught. He wants to with all his heart to run over to Mikoto but it is too dangerous. His action will be in vain if Kamui decides to take the opportunity to attack him next. So he waits until the screaming stop to signify that Iago is dead. He is unable to check with Hawkeyes as he fears to sense Kamui's status as a vampire now.

But Fujin didn't require his ability to know Kamui is coming back to the room. He can hear her breathing like a hungry beast as she prowls the dark corridor. Slowly did her bloody form reveal itself in the dim light. Then she leans towards Mikoto with crazed eyes glinting hunger. Her jaw is already open to feed.

Fujin is acting upon her actions and fires an arrow at Kamui to draw her attention. He steels himself as he expects the sliver to gaze her skin but she lunges forward to dodge. Kamui's movements are rough but mystical like she's performing, but the way her face scrunches makes it not pretty. It's clear that Fujin will become the next target as she emits a suffocating bloodlust at him. She grabs the collar of Mikoto's shirt and throws her at him in her madness. She has forgotten the source of her dark emotions.

Fujin tosses his bow away and extends his hands to pull the injured woman into his arms. He uses himself as a cushion to soften the impact Mikoto will feel. The last thing he would want is to inflict more pain on her. He can feel how little she weighs in his arms as her cold skin touches his fingers. Her blood feels sticky against his clothing and holds the warmth she has lost.

Kamui snarls in displeasure and launches forwards to attack. Fujin braces for the damage and shields the human in his arms with his body. The raging vampire stretches her fingers to claw at the breakable flesh of the Hunter. However her attempt fails when Leo blocks her attack. Fujin looks up to see the bookworm using a book to counter Kamui.

Leo's back is facing Fujin but he can see how much Leo is struggling to fend Kamui off. Leo huffs and shouts, "Kamui! Wake up before you lose yourself!"

Kamui doesn't waver in her attacks. She instead increases them and her violent powers is overwhelming Leo. The book that looks to be as thick as his arm is torn to pieces by her nails. Kamui keeps yelling as if it'll be her last. Mikoto stirs at her daughter's voice and turns her head at her.

Fujin had laid her down to attempt first aid on her. He can feels Mikoto struggling under his hands and warns her, "Don't move. You've been critically injured."

"Is Orochi alright? What about Kamui... I hear her crying." Mikoto asks with her eyes flickering at the mention's direction. Fujin looks over to Orochi who is completely unharmed by the catastrophe while Leo is fighting for his life with Kamui. Fujin takes a breath and is about to speak but Mikoto cuts him off with a faint whisper, "Brother-in-law, please, the prom..."

Fujin, caught every single one of her ear straining words, stares in confusion but suddenly feels a gust of wind pass him. He looks up to find Garon standing on top of Kamui with his right foot on her back. Leo is left standing with a torn book in surprise. If it weren't for his natural presence of authority Fujin would've forgotten he was there, sitting idly as he watch everything happen. Fujin could assume that Garon decided to help his son but he already knew this man isn't like that. Then, Fujin looks back at Mikoto and couldn't see what connection the two could had have.
