Finally, the redhead hunter is waking up. One thing he is sure of: it’s been a while since he slept so well. But how long had he been sleeping?

When Iori opens his eyes and sits up, he notices how dark it is inside the room, as the blinds are closed.

Yet there’s also the sensible lingering presence of one brunette.

Just where in the world did that trouble-making vampire go? The redhead hunter starts wondering.

A moment later, he gets up and turns on the lamp on top of the drawer.

When he grabs his pants from the chair, which also has Kyo’s jacket hanging on the back, he hears the opening door.

Apparently, it’s none other than Kyo, entering the room.

For some reason the vampire addresses him in an unsure tone. “Oh? So, you’re awake. Perhaps I should check on you later...”

Seeing Iori so provocative, wearing nothing aside from that long white shirt, confuses the nocturnal creature, and he simply doesn’t know how to act.

But Kyo’s honest reaction speaks for itself, even if it’s only by widening his eyes and swallowing his own saliva.

At first, the redhead doesn’t understand the reasons behind this vampire’s curious gaze.

When Iori raises his eyebrow, he asks in an annoyed tone. “What the hell are you staring at? Don’t just stand there and close the door, you stupid vampire.”

Surely, the vampire hunter has now another reason to be more careful around this immature, stupid vampire.

When Iori sits on the edge of the bed, he puts his pants on and asks. “Anyway, where have you been, and how long did I sleep?”

Kyo only glances to the sides and awkwardly answers. “Well, you slept the whole day, that’s for sure.”

However, the redhead gives a questioning look, which makes the vampire defend himself. “Oi, you don’t need to stare like that! You looked so calm and peaceful. So, I didn’t want to disturb you and let you rest as much as you needed. That’s why I asked one of the innkeepers about extending our stay. And, on the same go, I got a couple of bottles with ethereal oils for myself.”

Now, the brunette lowers his guard and adds in a slightly annoyed tone. “I know. You can thank me later, or, as you love to say, use that whip on me. So, be glad that we can stay here at least until next evening.”

After softening his gaze, he adds. “You need to learn that there are times when you should stop for a bit and just take a break. Besides, if you feel sick or exhausted, I can’t feed on you. It would be pointless, and you may even die. Plus, who will put me down if I go berserk, or what if that thing takes control over my body?”

When the nocturnal creature exhales through his nose, he approaches the bed and sits next to Iori.

At that moment, the vampire hunter cannot remove his eyes from Kyo, whose amber eyes spark with affection, and listen to his comforting voice. “So, if you are all right, I’m all right too. That’s why if you won’t take care of yourself, then I’ll make sure that you do. Besides, there would be no fun in defeating a half-dead person~”

What a persistent and stubborn vampire… Iori closes his eyes and sighs.

For now, since the nocturnal creature seems to be in a better mood, the hunter uses his chance.

As the redhead gives a demanding look, he changes the topic. “You won’t change so easily, huh? Since we have all night ahead, I’m ready to listen to what you have to say. Go on, I’m waiting.”

Kyo cracks a nervous smile and turns his head away from his partner.

When he grasps the bedsheet and tightens his lips, he responds in a slightly shaky tone. “What are you talking about?”

However, Iori keeps his poker face and calmly presses the brunette for answers. “You know well what I want to know, Kyo. What so horrible happened to you in the past?”

The vampire lowers his gaze and nervously answers. “I’ve told you enough. Besides, you would blame me for all that happened. Perhaps you would even throw me through the window when the sun rises. I’m a disgusting monster and deserve to suffer slowly for all that I did, right?”

When Kyo hugs himself, Iori can see how the nocturnal creature’s fingers are sinking deeply into his skin until they become pale.

The brunette even feels how something chokes him and prevents him from saying anything.

Now, Kyo’s wide-open eyes are teary, but he manages to speak in a pitiful tone. “Why do you want to know that? Even you would say that it is my fault and treat me the same way as that… that hunter. So, no. There’s no way you’re gonna learn about that!”

The more he talks, the more his body becomes stiff and the less he can stay stable.

When Kyo leans forward and places his hands to cover his eyes, he respires shakily and whimpers.

After swallowing the saliva, his empty amber eyes become distant. “Why? Why do you want to know about that!? I-I don’t want to go through that suffering and humiliation again! It’s so cold and dark... It hurts! Please... No. JUST STOP ALREADY!”

The vampire continues trembling like a leaf and whining.

Even Iori notices the vampire’s hands are soaking wet through the gaps of his fingers and his stiff expression.

Suddenly, the brunette becomes silent and freezes in the same position.

However, the silence doesn’t last long, and Kyo’s trembling lips murmur something in a barely hearable voice.

It seems even the redhead’s voice cannot reach him at all.

Perhaps the vampire is sinking deeper and deeper inside his world made out of painful memories. Iori thinks while hoping to be able to pull the brunette from the never-ending darkness.

He cannot hesitate any longer, and after he places his hand on Kyo’s shoulder, he yells at him. “Enough. Snap out of it!”

It seems the brunette is startled even by a careful touch like that.

A brief moment later, he turns his head towards the source of the voice that is talking to him.

However, Iori can sense that something is off…

That’s right; Kyo stares at him with his empty yet scared eyes.

Perhaps the brunette is already drowned in the nightmare world. Or so Iori decides.

Just as he leans closer to the vampire, Kyo’s loud screaming makes the redhead freeze in the same spot. “DON’T FUCKING TOUCH ME, YOU SICK BASTARD!”

With these words, sharp nails slash across the hunter’s chest.

As the blood splashes like a stream, Iori falls on the ground with a painful groan.

After the deep crimson liquid touches Kyo’s cheeks, the scent of Amaretto reaches the vampire, and he returns to his senses.

When Kyo stares with glowing crimson eyes at his stained nails, hears his own loud heartbeat ringing inside his ears, and breathes rapidly.

That tingling sensation of blood against his fingertips awakens his primal instincts, and his body is aching to taste the mellow-scented blood of his prey.

However, as the Amaretto-scented blood is dripping from his fingertips, his eyes trace the path of the falling droplets.

It’s the moment when the vampire breaks free and goes against the call of his cursed nature.

When he notices Iori’s hard panting and his shirt dyed in red, the brunette rushes to his side.

The redhead rests one hand on his wounded chest, and with the other one attempts to push himself up.

However, his attempt ends up with a failure, and he finds himself gazing at a familiar vampire instead.

After sitting on his knees, Kyo places his arm behind the hunter’s back and brings him closer to his own body.

Of course, the brunette feels guilty, even if he cannot figure out what just happened, and the fear of someone dying on him is stronger than his instincts.

The closer he gets to Iori, the harder it becomes to fight back against his greedy desire to feed on this human.

Nevertheless, the vampire closes his eyes and shakes his head.

After opening his amber eyes, Kyo speaks in a concerned tone. “Oi… What happened to you? Hey! Don’t you dare fall asleep on me.”

Hell, he knows that if he doesn’t stop the bleeding as soon as possible, the hunter might die.

Unfortunately for him, after quickly scanning his surroundings, he finds nothing that he can use.

Just before he does anything else, he is interrupted by the opening door and the angry voice of one of the innkeepers. “What the hell are you up to? Keep quiet! You disturb other customers’ rest, you dumb idiots!”

Apparently, it’s the redhead diclonius woman wearing a black jacket, a red tank top, and a pair of tight jeans.

However, after noticing the bloody scene and the vampire holding his prey, her indignant look immediately changes into a shocked one, and she growls at Kyo. “What the hell happened here? You scum! Using our inn for your nefarious purposes. I won’t forgive this!”

Meanwhile, the brunette only desperately stares at this woman. “I beg you! There is no time. Help him, and then you can do whatever you want with me.”

The long-haired diclonius covers her mouth with her palm and shakes her head. “For fuck’s sake… Why can’t you two stay calm and behave?”

When she lowers her arms and clenches her hands into a fist, she turns her head away and calls one certain person. “Hey, Sonia! Please, bring me a bandage and first aid kit! A man in Room 104 is injured!”

After Irene turns to this couple, she starts instructing Kyo. “What the hell are you staring at? Move! He’ll die if your lazy ass won’t do anything. Grab any piece of clothing and cover his wounds, you dimwit!”

Surely, that’s like a harsh slap into this vampire’s cheek, but it helps him cool his head and makes him rush to accomplish the given task.

When Kyo presses the messy bedsheet against the redhead’s chest, he tries to comfort the wounded man, but the concern in his voice overpowers it. “Please, stay strong! Just a little and everything will be fine. Hang in here, Yagami.”

Just as Irene is about to open her mouth, a shy yet serious voice behind her interrupts her. “Sorry for making you wait!”

It is a long-haired brunette, with a longer fringe split in half on the sides, who makes a serious look despite having such big eyes.

Unlike the last time, this young woman wears an official outfit: an aquamarine shirt, a gray skirt below the knees, and black pantyhose.

Now, Sonia rushes into the room, carrying a first aid kit with both of her hands, and accidentally trips.

Fortunately, Irene turns her head and hastily stretches one of her invisible arms to wrap it carefully around her partner’s body.

As the redhead diclonius makes sure that the brunette is standing safe on her feet, she softens her eyes towards the woman and addresses her in a calm and deeper voice. “Be careful next time, Doctor Warden. You are needed more than ever.”

The long-haired brunette only widens her eyes and shyly replies as her cheeks dye a darker pink. “Irene…”

When Sonia kneels, she opens the med-kit.

After regaining her serious face, she takes out the medical spirit and grabs a white bandage.

While the brunette unwraps the bandage, she politely addresses Kyo. “Could you, please, remove that sheet and make sure that the area around your friend’s wound is exposed and accessible?”

Unfortunately, Iori doesn’t show any desire to be a part of this, and as soon as the vampire removes the bloody bedsheet, the redhead tries pushing himself up.

However, his effort is utterly crushed by the strict demand from this woman, who soaks the folded bandage in a generous amount of medical alcohol. “Stay still. Right now your duty is to let us wash your wounds and treat them.”

Meanwhile, Kyo doesn’t argue with Sonia. After all, Yagami’s life is in this woman’s hands.

When the vampire exhales through his nose and places his hands over Iori’s bloodstained shirt, he gives his partner an apologetic look. “I know you’re gonna hate me for this, but it is for your own sake.”

As he closes his eyes, the nocturnal creature grips his shirt and tightens his lips.

After opening his determined eyes, Kyo immediately unbuttons Iori’s already ruined shirt and exposes the redhead’s chest.

Surely, it’s nearly impossible and painful for him to look at the awful-looking bleeding wound.

But Sonia sheds no sentiments towards the injured person and keeps her poker-face, while her given tasks are short and clear. “Hold him down and do not let him move. That is one of the resistant types.”

After turning her head towards the redhead diclonius, she orders her. “Irene, I need more bandages and alcohol.”

Her words are followed by the other woman’s calm nod and look while she leaves the room. “Got it.”

Meanwhile, Kyo let the redhead rest his head on his knees. At least that may help prevent the hunter from hurting himself if he starts to struggle too much.

While he holds down Iori’s wrists, the long-haired brunette brings the bandage soaked in medical spirit close to the hunter’s injured chest.

Now, Sonia warns them before starting the procedure, in a calm yet polite tone. “It is going to sting a little. So, please, endure it.”

One thing is for sure: when the cold alcohol touches the redhead, the burning pain makes Iori thrust his chest forward and turn his head from side to side.

Fortunately, Kyo’s knees are soft enough to absorb the hunter’s hits, yet holding him down isn’t an easy task.

While Iori groans and roughly breathes, his chest bloats at the same rhythm.

Surely, seeing the fearsome vampire killer suffering like this makes Kyo feel bad for him, and he can feel Iori’s unbearable pain flooding to his own chest.

However, all he can do is comfort his partner in a gentle voice while tightening his grip around Iori’s wrists. “Just hold on a little bit longer. You can endure it; I know that. Besides, I’m here by your side. And when you get better, you can call me a stupid vampire as always.”

Dear, it seems that the second part would be uploaded around the weekend (well, I don't want to rush my proof-reader, so, sometimes you need to be patient...) . So, for now, leaving like this.
*sigh* It seems that the more intimate moment between the vampire!Kyo and hunter!Iori would be in the next chapter. So, will this vampire be able to stay by Yagami's side after this happened? More so, how learning about Kyo's dark past will affect their relationship?
For now, leaving with this unintentional cliff-hanger x'D
And as always - See you next time!~
