"Lieutenant Colonal Guren apparently has a mission for us tomorrow.."

"Eh?! Seriously?! We haven't had a mission in such a long time!"

"Baka, we literally had a mission a week ago!"

"Well it feels like it's been years.."

"Well we'll just have to wait and see what it's about.."

"Why can't we just have the mission now...?"

"Oi! Be grateful you at least have a mission, asshat!"

"Oi! What are you talking about telephone pole?!"

"H-Hey guys, let's stop fighting and rest up for tomorrow, okay?"

"He's right, let's save our energy for tomorrow.."

"Yeah... Tomorrow."

Meanwhile...

(Name) had noticed something about the way Mikaela was acting at the end of the day. After they were finished playing with the kids, Mikaela seemed in pain. He walked in the back of the group and staggered his steps, clutching his stomach.

She averted her gaze back to the kids. "Hotaru-Chan, can I count on you to lead everyone back, I have to help Mikaela with something."

Hotaru gave a nod with a giggle. "Mmhm!"

"Good girl.." (Name) declared patting her head.

Once she saw the kids were out of sight, she walked over to Mikaela. "Mikaela.. are you alright?" She asks, her tone laced with concern.

"Y-Yes, I-I'm fine... don't worry.."

"But-" She was interrupted when she saw him pull out a vile of red liquid from his belt. It looked like blood.

He drank from it and once he was done, he gritted his teeth, throwing the vile causing it to shatter into several pieces. It was only then that (Name) realized that Mikaela wasn't like the other vampires. He had beautiful blue eyes... it seemed like he wasn't even a vampire.

"I'm sorry, you had to see that." He exclaimed averting his gaze away.

"You don't need to say sorry.. But.. why are you in such immense pain?.."

"I'll explain everything when we get back. We have to catch up to the kids." He told her. With a nod, (Name) and Mikaela made their way back to the room, where the kids were waiting for them.

"(Nickname)-Onii, is Mika-Chan okay?" Hotaru asked once Mikaela and (Name) arrived back at the room.

"Yes, Hotaru, I'm fine." He answered with a smile.

"Good!" She giggled as she let out a yawn.

"You guys should go to bed, you had a long day today." She says

"Aw... but I wanna play with Mikaela more!" Rin whined.

"Yeah! Pleeeassee (Name)-Chan?" Kyosuke asked.

"(Name)'s right, I'll see you guys in the morning, I promise, okay?" He asks then with a warm smile. Hotaru walked up to him, her arms crossed. He kneeled down and smiled at her chuckling.

"You promise?"

"I promise." He said ruffling her hair.

"Okay! Then goodnight!" The rest of the kids followed Hotaru to their beds, and one after another, they began falling asleep.

"I should probably explain, right?" He asks with a chuckle.

"It would be greatly appreciated." (Name) deadpanned. He motioned for her to follow him and he lead her to outside the front door. He shut it behind them and sighed.

"That whole... scene I made.. It's because I'm not a full vampire," He started. "When my whole family was wiped out.. I almost died, but thanks to Krul Tepes, I became a vampire. Since then, I've hated myself for even becoming one of these monsters. And I vowed to myself, I would never drink a human's blood.. and that I would only drink Krul's blood.

"But It's not so easy, if I don't drink blood, I could die.. I know the easy way out is to drink human blood, but... I won't become one of them... I can't become one of them... Otherwise-" He was interrupted when he saw (Name) pull out something. A knife...

"(Name).. what are you-?!" He watched her roll up her sleeve and hiss in pain as she made a cut on her arm with the knife.

"Drink. I won't take no for an answer."

"(Name), I especially won't take blood from you.." The blonde could smell her blood pumping through her veins. The sweet smell made his heart beat faster.

"You're in pain, Mikaela.. What if you run out of Krul's blood? Then what? You said it yourself, you could die.. I....I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you died so," She stopped mid-sentence. "Please...drink.."

Mikaela watched her blood drip down onto the floor, the blood making a dripping sound. He gritted his teeth. "I...I won't drink it.." He repeated as he averted his gaze away.

"Mika, if you won't drink it, I'll make you drink it.." She shoved her arm in front of his face.

He growled and he lost control of his own instinct. He pinned her against the wall, her back connecting against the wall with a loud thud. He leaned his head towards her neck and bit into it.

(Name) smiled, trying to bear the pain inside her neck. She slumped against the wall, sitting down, with Mikaela still drinking her blood.

After a while, the blonde pulled away, tears brimming in the corner of his eyes. He was never going to be able to forgive himself for this. (Name) watched as his eye color changed from his sapphire blue to crimson red.

"I'm sorry... I-I'm so sorry.." He whispered as he gritted his teeth.

"Mik-"

"N-No! I don't deserve your forgiveness.." He exclaimed standing up and backed away. "Just... stay away from me... I-I'm a monster.."

"You're not a monster..."

"Y-Yes I am... I hurt you, right?.." He asked frowning.

"..."

"Tell everyone.. I can't come back anymore.. It's only safer that way.. I'm sorry, (Name)," He said. "I don't want to hurt you anymore, just don't come after me.. I'll only hurt you again."

(Name) watched him walk away, tears threatening to fall down any minute.

"Please... don't go..." (Name) whispered as tears began falling. The blonde vampire soon could not be seen in the distance. He was gone. She just had to accept it. It was her fault. It was all her fault. He told her that he wouldn't suck her blood, but she pushed and pushed him until he finally caved in.

It was all her fault. She would never see the blonde again.
