The morning sun filtered in through the curtains, bringing warmth to Kuro's trembling body. Even after Lust gave him extra blankets, the oldest Servamp still felt chilled to the bone. He couldn't get comfortable either, having had to request a bucket so that he didn't throw up on anything that looked expensive. Thing was, everything in this room looked expensive. The way that light would shine one things, making it gleam and glitter made the poor Servamp dizzy. Looking around, he glanced at the table once more. A gold plated plate sat there with a freshly baked strawberry danish. The cream oozed over the golden flakes, dripping down the sides in a taunting manner. Kuro was starving, yet he didn't know if he could even stomach it. The sweet scent made his stomach growl, yet it churned at the same time. He didn't know what to do, and didn't want something so yummy looking to go to waste. Eyeing the bucket, he decided to give in, picking up the danish and sinking his teeth into it. The sweet and tangy taste of strawberries and cream flooded his mouth, the vampire melting at the taste. Who ever made this was amazing at cooking. Looking towards the door at the sound of footsteps, he blinked as two twin girls entered his room. They stare up at him with beady red eyes, both of them turning to whisper to each other before leaving his room. That was beyond weird, and it kind of scared him. Shaking his head, he stood up. His legs still felt weak, and his head felt swamped. He couldn't form a single thought, his mind rather numb as he stumbles towards the door, looking out into the empty hall. Where did those girls go? He wouldn't ever know that answer. Sighing, he moved to curl back up on the bed.

His eyes snapped back open at the sound of a voice. He doesn't remember falling asleep again, yet, he was sick. Kuro always struggled to stay awake when he'd fall ill. Looking towards the voice, his body tensed slightly, there stood the little cat in his mind. Large eyes stared up at him, rather emotionless. It twirled around slightly, ears wiggling as it picked up on his emotions. A grin stretched across it's stitched mouth, the strange creature bouncing a little. Kuro couldn't make out what it was saying, his eyes watching the little paws carry it closer to him. Taking the plate, Kuro threw it at the cat, scowling as it went through it. The feline grinned a bit more, it's body starting to melt into the floor. It's voice touched his mind, a chill running down his spine as the creature melted into a festering puddle of black gunk before dissolving into nothingness.


"Ĥ̸̨̛̟̭̟̲̺́͒̓̋̾͐̓̾ę̴̦͓̮͖̥͙̳̼̗̈̈́͂̾̿͆̓͘̕'̷̭̣͍͐͆̕s̶̨͎̲̝̥̈́̆̂̂ͅ ̴̡̛͙̖̗̲̺̞̭͛͂̑̈͛̈̊͑m̵̜̈́̄į̷̮͍͎̖͎̱̙̗́̂̐̇͝n̵̛̲̱͙̮̭̯̲̘̲͆͝e̵̛̟̯̔̇̂̿̓͗̕͠."



"DON'T TOUCH HIM!" Kuro screeched, hissing as arms grabbed him harshly, moving to pin him to the bed. Snarling, he bit at the person's arm, moving to dig his claws into their back. Blinking after a bit, he stared at Lust's pained expression, the younger Servamp holding him down. The taste of Lust's blood was potent on his tongue. The rush of energy hitting him hard. Letting go of Lust, he scrambled back, wheezing heavily. He didn't mean to hurt him- He didn't want to hurt anyone. He was tired of hurting people. Leaning forward, he shut his eyes tightly, tensing as Lust gently cupped his cheek. He could feel Mahiru's alarm and worry. He must have seen his melt down. Did he see the demon? Shaking in fear, he looked at Mahiru, eyeing the worried gleam in his eyes. Misono was with him, his normal sharp gaze replaced with concern and confusion. Kuro looked down, inhaling sharply, twitching as Lust  made him look into his eyes, his younger sibling searching his eyes, "Sloth, what happened?"

"He...tried to claim him," His voice was hardly a whisper. He wasn't going to sugar coat the venom, the hate and rage that started boiling in him. He wasn't going to let that thing have him. Mahiru was his. He was HIS. Leaning forward, he sneered a little, eyes unfocused. He's never felt like this before. He's never felt anything for any of his Eves. Yet Mahiru stirred something in him. A different kind of beast that was sinister. His gaze looked toward his new Eve, eyeing the fear that crossed his face. A low growl rumbled up in his throat, the Servamp watching Misono heard Mahiru out of the room as something clicked in the smaller male's mind. Misono was an Alpha, he knew exactly what was happening. With how Kuro was acting, Mahiru ran the high risk of getting hurt.

Lust eyes Kuro slightly, sighing a little. The venom in Kuro's voice stirred things in him. He was that of a Omega that had presented years ago. He knew the signs of a frightened and angry Omega. Yet the anger in Kuro concerned him for Mahiru's safety. Kuro's never been through this before. He was never taught how to cope with territorial urges. Mahiru seems to be just now showing signs of being a Omega. He'd have to teach Kuro how to control himself to prevent injury. However, Kuro seemed to be in a different world again. A glazed look filled Kuro's eyes, his gaze eyeing something that he couldn't see. Red orbs glared at the corner, his lips twitching into a snarl. Lust couldn't help Kuro with this. All he could do was watch his brother fight against the holds of his demon. Cleaning him of the sweat the poured from his pale skin as he struggled with himself.

It took a while for Kuro to finally settle back down, his skin damp after sweating out a majority of his fever. However a headache replaced it. Slowly nuzzling up to Lust, he breathed in the soft lavender like scent, blinking at the calming feel that washed over him. Yet there was a hotter smell as well. A smell that confused him as a small wash of heat rushed over him. Swallowing it down, he flinched as Lust slammed him against the bed. Angry eyes glare at him, the scent of a highly pissed off Omega filling his nose. It honestly confused him, and scared him. He had no idea what was wrong, or what he did wrong. Yet feeling the firm knee pressing in between his legs had him squirm in panic, "Lust, get off-"

"You need to control that anger of your's, that anger could easily hurt Mahiru," Lust hissed a little, not letting up despite Kuro's struggles. Empty snarls filled the room, threats hanging low on stale air. Kuro learned the hard way on how to control himself, bites and scratched covering him. Yet Lust didn't look any better. Following Lust down the halls, his gaze flickered towards Mahiru's voice. Sounded like Misono was arguing with him or something. Blinking as Lust nudged him towards his Eve, he glanced back at him, sighing softly at Misono's sneer.

"Can you control yourself now, cat?" The small Alpha snapped at him, arms crossed. Mahiru's face was flushed, the boy plucking at his fingers and avoiding eye contact. Kuro drew back his lips, eyeing Misono. The kid was gutsy, that's for sure. Yet Mahiru was more important. Looking at him, his gaze softened a little, his hand turning to a paw as his feline form reached for the Omegan male. Mahiru stared at him, caving in and scooping him up into his arms. Misono watched them, eyes narrowed. He was not a happy camper. Tapping his foot on the ground, the boy rolled his eyes, "Good grief, you have my number now, give me a call if something happens."

"Y-yeah, of cource. Thank you Misono, you're a really good friend," Mahiru smiles a little, chuckling as the purple haired boy nearly choked. Giving Mahiru a gentle shove, Misono lead them out into the parking lot. glancing at the car that waited for them, Kuro glanced at Misono, his side twitching as finger grazed his fur.

"I mean it, call me if you need help...I don't want to lose my first friend," The boy pouted, petting Kuro's fur. Mahiru smiled as he slipped into the vehicle. shutting the door before settling into a seat. Setting Kuro on his lap, the boy stare out the window. He seemed to be in very deep thought. He fingers tracing patterns in his fur. Kuro blinked slowly, glancing out the window as the scenery changed to the city. Lust had a very...odd Eve. He didn't know if he liked him or not. Yet Mahiru was fond of him. The thought of that brought a weird tinge of jealousy through his mind. Giving his head a quick shake, he glanced up at Mahiru once more. The odd silence that stretched between them was uncomfortable. He didn't know what to say about earlier. The fever was a freak one. It hit out of the blue. He had a funny feeling that it was caused by his demon. The creature being capable to cause illness like that scared him. Just what more could it do? Trembling slightly, he opened his mouth, the words tumbling out before he could stop them, "What did he do to you, Mahiru?"

"What did who do to me?"

"The black cat...what did he tell you?"

"The one that gave me the broom? Not much, he just wished me happy birthday...which was weird, my birthday isn't for another few months."

Kuro fell quiet, his ears lowering slightly. He didn't understand it. The creature worked in weird ways. It's voice still haunted him. Stirring his mind, causing thoughts to trickle down in a never ending flow of water, only for them to be swept away in a current that fused them all together. What did he want from Mahiru? Shaking his head, he looked at the corner of the vehicle, eyes focusing on a small thing that seemed darker than the rest of the shadows. It didn't move, but the faint voice could be heard. A voice that haunted his soul.

(Nothing like Lust having to teach a newly presented Omega how to behave XD

Omegas in this story can end up being just as territorial as Alphas. Lust has experience with this, and knows how to correct an Omega if he needs to. Plus male Omegas can breed with other Omegas, as long as they are capable of being dominant. Lust is very capable of the switch, especially when the other Omega has no idea what's happening.)
