CROSSED. A VAMPIRE KNIGHT//TOKYO GHOUL FANFICTION.

[30] idk how to count

'Uri-sama? Why I haven't heard that name in years. If it's not too much to ask my Lord, how are you related to the family?' she looked shocked, to say the least. Okay, I seriously thought that every vampire was well aware I exist now considering how much they gossip.

'Yes, Rias and Tadano were my parents.'

'Oh my, I'm so sorry for my thoughtlessness. My condolences Uri-sama.' I gave her a soft smile. I mean I never knew them so it's not like it's a painful memory.

I turned to Moka again, who slightly moved her head to the side, her eyes following. It's time we go, for some reason this was making her uncomfortable, I could feel it.

'Well, it was wonderful to meet you Miss Harjuruki.' I walked over to Moka's side and waved off the family, a slight glow in my chest.

'You shouldn't get too comfortable with the people here.' Moka muttered under her breath, snapping me out of my happy trance.

'It's just, these people... they may seem nice but they all have ulterior motives, especially since you're a pureblood.'

I couldn't help but laugh. I could never get close to these animals, even if I tried. I'm a hunter, my job is to hunt these beasts, and luring them into false realities is a part of it. If that vampire woman tried to do something I would rip out her intestines and hang her with it for her children to watch.

Me, letting my guard down around vampires? That's the most stupid thing I've heard in a while.

'Seriously Moka, you really say the funniest things.' I wipe a tear from my eye, settling down a little. She stared at me, her expression unreadable. It was mixed with so many things that I couldn't tell what she was thinking. Was she angry, scared, happy even?

'I'm just saying Akara-sama, they're not the people you think—'

'And what exactly do you think, I think about these creatures?' I stopped still, annoyed. I raised my eyes to see her looking up at me, that familiar look of fear I've seen from vampires drawn on her face.

'Because to me, they're nothing but playthings. You think I was smiling because I love children and that they were just "so cute"?' I spat out, looking down on her as I towered over.

'I was smiling because of how easily I could have broken their small bodies, impaled their little hearts and turned them into dust.' I dramatically clenched my fist in the air, reenacting my fantasy. 'God the idea of killing them in front of their mother really does give you a rush y'know!'

'What are you—'

'I'm a hunter Moka.' I step forward, closing the distance between us. I reached up to her face and lifted her chin to meet my eyes again. Her body was frozen in place.

'And you're the thing I like to hunt.'

I smiled and dropped her chin, walking on ahead. She still stood there motionless. I looked over my shoulder at her and snapped my fingers, getting her out of her daze. 'You're place is this way right?' I call out, pointing in front of me.

She didn't answer, I wouldn't expect her to.

I stood at the front door, watching as Moka turned the key and let us both in, apprehension in her movements.

From what I could tell, the house was huge, even bigger than the other ones in the gated village, but way more run down. Hella old. I looked out at the front garden as she fiddled with the lock, probably jammed up from how old it was.

There were so many flowers you couldn't name them all even if you tried. It was a beautiful mess of nature. Trees spurting, grass just a little too tall, vines hanging from every place it could get its claws on. It was like dark academia meets cottage core.
