In a long row of red chairs against a white wall, a medium height, slender male with neck length, dark blue curly hair sat in a chair; red eyes closed as his arms were crossed. His leather jacket was on his lap, and his black shirt was visible. He also wore dark blue jeans, with black converses. Sitting to his right was a young, slightly shorter than him, female with shining amber eyes and a cute smile, as long light blue hair cascaded down her back and over her shoulders. Against her pale skin was a slight pink blush, as her hands laid on her lap. The girl wore a cotton white dress with a woollen dark blue jacket with brown boots with a slight heel.
"Huh, Kanzaki fell asleep pretty fast." The girl mumbled to herself, as the other people sitting in the hallway were filling it with an incessant chatter. The boy, Kanzaki, started to snore as he tilted his head back. "He's soon gonna be next..." She looked down the queued seats, the two were now one away from the door which led to a medical centre.
"Next!" A male popped his head out, and called out loudly as a soldier stood up from his seat and walked towards the room and entered it. Soldiers shuffled up a seat as the girl frowned. She tugged at Kanzaki's sleeve. "Hey, wake up..." She said softly, shaking him. "Wake up...!" She said a bit louder. "Kanzakiiii...!!" She whined into his ear, lips centimetres away from Kanzaki's head. Nothing but a snort from him. "How annoying... Kanzaki Ayano, wake up!" She exclaimed into his ear, shaking Kanzaki harshly as he suddenly woke and flinched.
"Ow, ever heard of doing it less rough?" Kanazaki asked her, looking drowsy.
"It's not my fault that you didn't wake up faster." She huffed.
"Whatever you say Kyou." He looked at the empty space beside him and shuffled a seat.
"That's what I was trying to get you to do, move... Also, keep awake as we'll be up soon." The girl, Kyou, sighed.
"Next!" The same male popped his head out as another soldier walked in, as another walked out, ears elongated; like an elf.
"Right." Kanzaki said as he moved up a seat. He was now next to the door.
"This is so nerve racking..." Kyou sighed.
"We did well with our injection test, so this'll be fine." Kanzaki said.
"We're mostly average though...?" Kyou raised a brow as she stared at Kanzaki, who was looking off in the distance.
"What about it? We've proved we're good enough for the RSS, last stop after that is practicing with our powers." Kanzaki replied, turning his head and looking at her with his red eyes.
"..." Kyou gulped and turned a darker shade of pink. "R-right."
"Next!" The same man exclaimed. Kanzaki stood up as Kyou looked at him and waved her hand.
"G-good luck!" She exclaimed.As Kanzaki entered, he looked around the room. It was the same medical centre he knew, walls white, posters up about health and beds with white sheets laid out neatly next to each other, with dark green curtains separating them. The injection was being done in the corner where table and chairs were.
"Hello, you are?" The man asked, black hair swept to the side and rounded glasses on the verge of falling.
"Kanzaki Ayano, Middle Class Soldier. Here for the Injection of course." Kanzaki replied.
"Alright. Be prepared for body changes and anything else, such as emotional changes, personality changes, etc. This is safe to do, but it will change you. If you experience any difficulties, come see me here." The man said as he opened a fridge.
"Thanks, uh..." Kanzaki drew a blank.
"Doctor Sui Nanami." He said as he took out a small syringe filled with a yellow liquid; similar to oil.
"Sui Nanami huh? Alright then." Kanzaki said. He showed his right arm.
"You know about this then?" Sui asked as he rubbed the joint of Kanzaki's arm-more specifically a blue vein.
"Yeah... I know from my friend, she had blood tests and they chose that bendy thingy-bit." Kanzaki said.
"Well, then." He started. "You'll feel a pinch then a feeling on the inside." Sui then slowly used the needle to pierce the skin of Kanzaki, as he pushed down on the syringe; the liquid rushing inside of his veins.
"...!" His eyes widened as voices rang throughout his head. The liquid was transforming Kanzaki, as he started to breathe slower, in a more calm manner.
"We're done there..." Sui removed the needle and pushed a piece of cotton over his injection wound; then taping it over.
"...woah..." Kanzaki gulped at his new found powers. "I feel stronger, faster... So much more hungry suddenly... A craving for... An iron like taste?"
"Maybe you've become a vampire!" Sui clapped his hands together and laughed. Shivers ran down Kanzaki's spine.
"I'd have to drink blood then...?"
"Well, most likely yeah." Sui smiled.
"Right." Kanzaki walked away and left the room with a somewhat confused face. "I know my power... I've basically turned into a vampire. I drink blood to activate my vampiric side. It's just the thought of drinking blood that's putting me off..."
"How was it?!" Kyou exclaimed, pulling Kanzaki back into reality.
"...Oh, it was fine." Kanzaki replied with a shaky voice, head down slightly.
"How'd you use your power?" She asked eagerly.
"I drink someone else's blood to become a vampire pretty much." Kanzaki replied. Kyou immediately tilted her head to reveal her neck.
"Since we are partners, you can a-always count on me for well... B-blood." She said with a closed eye smile. Something in Kanzaki clicked as he forced himself to restrain from suddenly biting into her neck.
"Hey, restrain yourself! You can't look at your partner like that and suddenly jump on them..." He thought, groaning. His head hung low and his brows furrowed with anger, eyes squinted as his fists were tight. He quickly eyed Kyou. "Even if that vein... That vein is filled with that delicious liquid..."
"Kanzaki?" Kyou asked as she tilted her head back into place.
"Next!" Sui exclaimed, head popping out of the door. The sudden noise was enough for Kanzaki to regain control of himself. He proceeded to quickly looked at Kyou, grabbing her wrist.
"Look, when I need my powers, are you sure it's okay that I can drink your blood?" Kanzaki asked her.
"Uh, y-yes, of c-course!" Kyou nodded flustered and a dark shade of red.
"Sorry," He let go. "Thanks and good luck..." He smiled at her. Kyou nodded in surprise.
