     'I feel... weird..'

     (Y/n)'s eyes slowly fluttered open; the sounds of chirping birds and the running water of the hot spring outside filled the air. She looked around, a mess of light blue hair buried against her chest. The tired servamp slept soundly.
     Things seemed overly calm.
     (Y/n) shifted slightly, directing her gaze towards the ceiling. She blinked a few times, tracing the ceiling tiles with her eyes as she laid there. She couldn't seem to focus on much, her mind felt blank. No, that wasn't right. Not blank; she didn't feel empty. It's just that, she didn't know what she felt. It was odd.

     By the time kuro woke up it was the late afternoon. He sat up slowly, rubbing his eyes with a yawn. He furrowed his brows, looking down to (y/n); the girl was still asleep beneath him. He was surprised she hadn't woken him up, more surprised that she hadn't at least been laying there awake.
He pressed a hand against her skin. "...(y/n).." he mumbled tiredly. The girl furrowed her brows for a moment, but remained still. Kuro let out a sigh and shook her gently. Finally she stirred and opened her eyes slowly.
A long, quiet hum escaped (y/n)'s lungs as she stretched out her limbs. Her hands pushed herself up from the floor; she looked up to kuro tiredly and let out a yawn.
Kuro narrowed his eyes, "are you... alright?" He asked. It seemed weird for her to sleep as much as he did.
"What? Yeah, I'm fine." She replied in a questioning tone. She rubbed her eyes, voiding herself of her groggy feeling, and looked up to the servamp. "Why?" She asked.
Kuro eyed her for a moment, and then shook his head. "Nothing." He muttered. Before (y/n) had a chance to question him more, he stood. He looked down to (y/n) with his usual tired expression. "..we should probably be with mahiru..." he said softly.
(Y/n) looked up to him, and after a moment gave a nod. She pushed herself up from the floor, and followed behind kuro. The two made their way to the main area where the others were.

'I... have this weird feeling in my chest...'

(Y/n) sat at the small table with the others; they all spoke of the coming threats that tsubaki had made apparent, and discussed what they should do, but in all honesty, (y/n) wasn't listening. Once again it felt like her mind was occupied with something else, a weird feeling that's she didn't understand. Her eyes remained fixated on the small wooden table, watching as her fingers lazily traced over the grains.

Kuro listened to the conversation, a heavy weight growing slowly in his chest as he took in all the information. Everything he heard meant trouble, danger, and, possibly, death. He could feel his nerves getting to him,
He suddenly felt (y/n) lean her head against his shoulder. He looked down to her, watching as she traced circles with her newly-healed hands. She didn't seem to pay any mind to him, but even so, she held out one of her palms to his.
He took it, squeezing it gently. It's like she knew what he was feeling.

"Kuro, did you hear what Hugh said?" Mahiru asked suddenly.
The vampire looked up, realizing he hadn't been listening to the conversation as he thought he was. He stared at mahiru tiredly, knowing that if he did this long enough the boy would just get to the point.
"There's someone who's going around and attacking other vampires!" The brunette stated. He looked around to the others, then back to his servamp. "We're the only ones able at the moment, we should go investigate it!" He insisted. Lily and misono were out of the question, and tetsu and Hugh had to stay at the hot springs.
Kuro let out a long sigh. "Really..? That sounds like a lot of trouble to me.." he mumbled.
     The brunette scowled at the vampire, standing up swiftly. "Too bad! Who knows, this guy may be related to tsubaki in some way! This might be our only chance to get the upper hand!" He exclaimed. It was obvious after the recent attacks that the servamps needed to do something. Mahiru couldn't wait any longer.
     "Come on!" He demanded, "the more time we have to search, the better!"

Kuro watched as the energetic eve rushed around the room gathering his things. He let out a deep sigh, a tense feeling still lingering in his chest after all that had been happening. (Y/n) nuzzling her head deeper into the servamp's shoulder didn't help his situation much either. He really didn't want to go out today.
     But of course, here he was, being dragged into more and more trouble by his insatiable eve. 
     "What a pain..." he huffed.

     Kuro yawned, deciding to nap atop Mahiru's shoulder in his cat form as the boy walked around the city streets. He listened a little to what several of his brother's subclasses had to say about this 'mysterious figure' that went around beating up subclasses, But for the most part, he didn't care what went on. He just wanted to be with (y/n).

     "Hey kuro..?" Mahiru called to the servamp.
     The male hummed, glancing lazily to his eve. He could tell something was on his mind all of the sudden.
     "Well I was wondering..." he started. "Hugh and lily have so many subclasses... why don't you?" He asked.
     Kuro blinked for a moment as he processed the question. The thought of creating subclass went through his mind. The thought of having to create (y/n).
     He suddenly felt uncomfortable.
     He checked his surroundings, noticing the sun had gone down, and hopped off of mahiru's shoulder. The servamp took his human form, shoving his hands into his pockets and turning away from the eve. With just one thought, he could feel his mood change drastically. He huffed, somewhat irritated by the fact.
     "God.. this is all such a pain.." he muttered. He turned slowly to mahiru, letting out a sigh.
     He had to give some sort of answer.
     "To make a subclass you have to give your blood to a dying human.." he muttered, averting his gaze. His thoughts swarmed in mass to his past, of those he had once knew, of his own experiences with death and rebirth, and to (y/n). He shut his eyes to try and stop it all. "..how do you know if that person wanted to live though..? Maybe they wanted to die.." he muttered. "Maybe... they were hurting..."
     Kuro trailed off for a moment, and then suddenly shook his head. "Playing with someone else's life isn't an easy thing.... thinking about it makes my head hurt..." he huffed, returning his gaze to mahiru.
     The brunette seemed stunned by the servamp's expression; it wasn't common that kuro displayed anything towards him. He opened his mouth, wanting to press further, but shut it. He needed to let kuro open up on his own.

In the midst of this thought, an odd figure caught Mahiru's eye, distracting him. A dark haired male with angel wings adorning his white backpack walked past them. Mahiru couldn't help but stare.
     The realization hit him.
     This was the guy all of the subclasses were talking about!
     Mahiru immediately deterred the conversation onto the new subject: catching that guy! He led kuro down an alleyway, following the figure from a safe distance. He watched the male intently, and furrowed his brows. This guy looked weird, was he really the one causing so much trouble?
     The odd sound of squeaking filled the air, and suddenly Mahiru's eyes landed on something else that accompanied the mysterious male. A small, brown and tan hedgehog, locked away in a tiny cadge. it fidgeted around in the cage, waving frantically as if it were trapped.
Mahiru's eyes widened. "is.. is that another servamp??"
