Okay!~
And guess who is back with the new chapter?
Yup, it is finally time for this one chapter.
And, yeah, I highly suggest you to have a plushie next to you in case you may need someone to hug it...
More so, you would notice why I refused to use one certain content warning and matching tag for that.
it's been a while since even I was so emotional during the writing process. However, despite feeling heartbroken, I had fun working on it, and it reminds one friend's words about that if you feel strong emotions during writing/drawing, then, it means that you genially enjoy what are you doing❤
Also, Thank You so much for +40 Kudos for this story (♡´❍`♡)*✧ ✰ ｡*
(And soon-to-be the 1k. HITS for it ^^)
A-anyway,
As always,
Enjoy!~
--------------------------------------

Some time has passed. After reaching the Inner Quarters, Akira mentally prepares himself for the worst.
What if Shiki is not only disappointed in him when he lost in the Colosseum but might also lash out at him because of what he did to him earlier?
After all, who knows what hides behind the vampire’s calm face? Perhaps Shiki had, finally, enough of him, and before executing him, only gives him a false sense of comfort. The silver-haired hunter wonders as his body remains stiff and avoids looking at his partner.
Lastly, the dark-haired male opens the door to Akira’s room.
After Shiki carefully sits his partner on the bed, Akira turns his head away and lowers his gaze.
As the silver-haired male grasps the bedsheet, he addresses him. “You could have just killed me while we were in the Colosseum. So, I don’t understand why you keep wasting your time by bringing me there…”
At first, the vampire only gives him a questioning look. “What are you talking about?”
After closing his eyes and exhaling, he briefly orders. “Undress.”
As he leaves his partner’s side and starts looking for one specific item in the drawers, Akira removes his gloves and unbuttons his vest.
Soon enough, Shiki picks up a first aid kit and returns to his partner’s side.
Just before sitting down, he notices that the blue-eyed male is about to remove his underwear and gives him another command. “Keep it.”
Meanwhile, Akira only hugs his knees and keeps his hung head.
Such a behavior slowly gets on the nocturnal creature’s nerves. Nevertheless, Shiki tries to remain as patient as possible.
After he takes the silver-haired male’s hand, he examines his arm.
However, Akira’s question makes him lift his red eyes. “Why are you doing all this?”
As he fixates his eyes on the tensed silver-haired male, he listens to him further. “I don’t understand you. You saw what happened in the arena and you’re still doing this. You know, you should have spared that hunter and kept him instead of me.”
When Shiki cleans the wounds on his partner’s arm, he narrows his gaze and replies in an indifferent tone. “You mean that small fry that was nothing more than a waste of time?”
“But he was more powerful than me. So, you might have been more entertained by the SS-rank hunter than someone who is just A one at most.” The silver-haired male objects.
“That barely lasted a second? Hmph. Don’t make me laugh.” The vampire immediately responds as he puts on the medical plaster on the bruises.
As Shiki finishes treating one arm, Akira gives another one and argues. “Because you didn’t hold back against him, unlike when you fought me.”
The vampire closes his eyes and explains. “I’m not interested in weaklings that only know how to bark.”
A second later, he opens his crimson eyes while having a proud look on his face. “Besides, anyone who dares to touch what belongs to me is nothing more than disgusting insects that should be crushed.”
When Shiki finishes treating his partner’s arms, he asks him. “Show me your chest.”
As Akira sits on his knees and lowers his arms, he comments, despite feeling the vampire’s eyes on him while cleaning his bruises. “You sure care a lot for someone that you keep as food. However, you shouldn’t attach to what you eat.”
After he grasps the bedsheet and softens his gaze, he adds. “Have you ever considered what you are going to do when I’ll be dead? Are you going to hunt another prey?... Or are you going to starve yourself to death? If that is the case, then I would have to finish you first.”
Such an honest confession widens Shiki’s eyes and makes him freeze in the same spot. Yet, a second later, he gives a thrilling gaze while leaning closer and asking in nearly a purring voice. “How are you planning to do that?”
Despite being cornered and feeling the vampire’s palms on top of his, Akira swallows the saliva while keeping his determined blue eyes on him. “When I defeat you in the fight and this time I’ll make you take me seriously!”
While Shiki keeps a satisfied look on his face, he comments in a content tone. “How come you can still spit out such adorable words?”
“Hmph. Looks like I need to remind you again what happens if you keep doing that~” He adds while the flame of impatience burns in his eyes, stroking Akira’s neck.
In the end, the silver-haired male closes his eyes and sighs. “You stupid vampire… Keep doing that, and you’ll grow my desire to defeat you stronger.”
“As long as it keeps the stupid thoughts away from your head…” Shiki replies before bringing his face close to his partner’s.
A day has passed.
It is a late evening. Thus, the blue-eyed male already had a bath and changed into his gray pajamas.
Yet, he decides to stay up for a bit longer and kill some time by finishing reading the book that he picked in the library while waiting for one certain vampire to return.
Good hour has passed. No matter how long Akira kept waiting, Shiki hadn’t returned yet.
Is he busy in the arena or hunting for another prey? Who knows?… The silver-haired hunter wonders as he softens his gaze while staring at the crimson moon in the sky through the window.
Strange. Tonight, not a single star accompanies the barely visible crescent moon. On the other hand, perhaps it’s only because the new moon phase will begin soon.
Even so, Akira doesn’t like the lingering sensation of death and chillness in the air as he stares into the starless sky. But for now, he shivery respires and holds his arms.
No. Perhaps he is just cold and tired. Besides, that stupid vampire might come back soon in his true form or a panther one. So, he is on his way. That is one thing for sure. Or so the blue-eyed male convinces himself while getting up from bed and walking to the closet.
When Akira picks up the bathrobe, he widens his eyes and turns his head upon the crows’ loud crying and countless flapping wings.
“Shiki…” Akira whispers as he grasps this piece of clothing.
As soon as he puts on the bathrobe, he rushes through the door.
‘You better haven’t tried anything funny. Otherwise, I’ll finish you, you fool!’ the silver-haired male thinks as he hears his own heartbeat ringing inside his head and running in the corridor.
At that moment, he doesn’t even care if any of Shiki’s servants try to stop him. That can wait for later.
Soon, he reaches the exit gate and slams it open.
While Akira’s chest bloats and deeply breathes, he quickly looks around.
Unfortunately, the quiet leaf rustling and the streaming water are the only sounds that break the silence that surrounds this area.
Nevertheless, Akira refuses to leave.
Thus, as he lowers his head and bites his lower lip, he grasps around his heart before heading deeper into the inner courtyard.
Step after step, he approaches the familiar fountain that changes the water color upon one getting closer to it.
At first, nothing is unusual until he walks past by and notices something that freezes him in the same spot.
At that moment, Akira could only speak weakly through his trembling lips. “Shiki… What the hell happened to you?”
Apparently, the fallen nocturnal creature leans his back against the fountain’s wall while covered in blood and with his hung head without any response.
Judging from his torn in some places clothes, Shiki may fight someone who might have been out of his league.
However, it doesn’t matter if he fled away or barely won. Right now, his well-being is far more important than anything else. The blue-eyed male decides as he gets closer to his partner.
Just as Akira kneels and takes a better look at him, he nearly gets startled by the vampire slowly lifting his head and his groaning voice. “Why are you here? Go back to your room.”
For sure, just seeing Shiki’s blank stare in his dimmed crimson eyes pierces the hunter’s heart like a knife.
Suddenly, Akira grips his shoulders and lowers his head to scold him. “And to leave you like this? Are you even aware of how you sound?!”
Shiki only turns his head and closes his eyes. “If it bothers you so much, leave. I do not need your pity.”
Soon, the silver-haired male removes his hands from his partner and addresses him in a calm, but impersonal voice. “If this is what you want, it cannot be helped, then. I’ll leave you alone… But when I see you standing up and walking on your own.”
But for now, he moves away from the nocturnal creature and stands up without removing his eyes from him.
Meanwhile, Shiki cracks a bitter smile and picks up his sheathed katana. “Hmph. Have you always been that stubborn and stupid?”
As he places his hands on the handle, he relies on his trustworthy weapon as his support getting up.
Unfortunately, when the vampire leans heavily on it, his katana slips away, and he is about to fall harshly.
However, Akira’s reaction is faster, and Shiki collapses on his chest.
After wrapping his arms around his partner, the silver-haired male places his palm behind his head and softens his gaze.
As the vampire struggles in his embrace and silently groans, Akira only gently strokes his hair and comments in a worried tone. “You barely can do anything. Just how bad you’ve been injured to become like this? So, how do you expect me to abandon you and let you suffer alone?”
In the end, the silver-haired hunter temporally removes his arms from Shiki.
As he gives him a comforting look, he unbuttons a couple of buttons on his pajama shirt and exposes his shoulder and neck. “Here. You’ve used most of your energy to heal your wounds. So…”
“Don’t be a fool. Have you forgotten? I’ve already fed on you today.” The vampire backfires.
After Akira brings him close to him, he objects. “I know. However, you need it more than I do.”
When he presses Shiki’s face against the crook of his neck, he closes his eyes and explains. “And if you ignore your hunger any longer, your instincts will take you over and you’ll become a mindless beast.”
“I’ll rather die by your hand than fight and kill someone who is nothing more than a shell of his former self. As long as it will cease you from recklessly throwing your life and keep you safe, I’m ready to sin, kill or even sacrifice myself. So, do what you have to do, you stupid vampire.” Akira adds.
Such an honest confession surprises Shiki and only makes him more interested in this human.
However, instead of wasting time on unnecessary words, the nocturnal creature briefly withdraws his face before sinking his fangs into Akira’s neck, making him softly moan.
When he smells and tastes the hunter’s blood, his eyes glow in deadly bright red.
As the vampire feasts on him, Akira slowly feels drowsy, and his body grows weaker.
Nevertheless, he gathers all his remaining strength to keep Shiki in his warm embrace.
Soon enough, the nocturnal creature is about to withdraw his face.
Yet, the blue-eyed male keeps pressing his hand on his head, and as his vision darkens, he gently whispers. “Do not mind me. Just take as much as you need.”
Soon enough, Shiki gets alerted as the same palm resting on the back of his head and the surrounding arm loosens.
However, this time, he is the one who manages to catch his collapsing partner.
Even behind his poker face, he is bewildered by Akira shakily reaching for his face and placing his cold palms on his cheeks.
The silver-haired male gives him an exhausted smile. “You’re finally alright. I’m… I’m so glad. But why are you so upset? I’m just a little… a little tired. That’s all…”
Lastly, he slowly closes his blue eyes and drops his hands.
At that moment, if it wasn’t for the bleeding two spots on Akira’s neck, he would think that his human was only peacefully slumbering.
However, Shiki perfectly understands that he won’t open his eyes and call him a stupid vampire ever again.
But why? Why does he feel such a void inside him as something important and dear was snatched away from him?
More importantly, he knew already that Akira’s life was momentary, and he may have died from old age or eventually drained by him.
Yes. Shiki has accepted the harsh truth about mankind’s bitter fate. Yet, it doesn’t reduce heartache in the slightest, nor calms his howling heart.
In the end, he closes his gloomy red eyes and immediately pulls Akira into a tight hug, refusing to let him go.
A second later, his fingertips sink into the human’s soft, silver hair while he silently weeps.
A good amount of time has passed.
After the vampire touches his partner’s neck, he feels a weak and rare pulse.
Perhaps not everything is lost, then. Shiki hopefully wonders.
At first, he doubts if he should commit a taboo ritual that may give only a low chance of saving this human from being taken away by death.
More importantly, there is a high risk that Akira may become a broken doll who is not alive nor dead, only resembling his former self after slowly but painfully rejecting him.
Therefore, letting this human exit with dignity might be for the better.
But what if? What if he may accept him and become a noble creature of the night like him? Perhaps he is ready to accept him. No, there is no may. He has to. That human already has proven himself more times than needed. Shiki ponders as he brushes the hair from Akira’s face.
Lastly, with nothing to lose, he reveals his sharp fangs again, and they penetrate the blue-eyed male’s skin.
Suddenly, Akira widens his eyes and gasps as something hot flows inside his blood vessels.
“Shiki… what are you?- It hurts… It hurts!” The silver-haired male weakly speaks up in a scared voice while his face is paralyzed in fear.
However, as the unbearable heat spreads all over his body, he pushes the vampire away and falls while whimpering.
Meanwhile, Shiki only carefully observes how Akira curls into a ball and grasps his throat while desperately gulping the air.
No matter how it is difficult for the dark-haired male to resist the urge to shake his partner and make him get a hold of himself, he understands he cannot interface and should only patiently wait until it’s over.
Soon enough, every muscle in the hunter’s body trembles and twitches as his skin and hair become pale as paper.
More so, as he painfully groans, screeches, and droll, his eye color slowly switches from ice blue to bloody red eyes, and long, sharp fangs start to grow.
In the end, Akira lets out a prolonged loud hissing and stretches his body before he completely freezes in the same spot and blacks out.
At that moment, even the crimson moon completely disappears in the sky.
Finally, Shiki kneels and makes sure that his human lies on his back.
As he brushes his palm against Akira’s cold cheek and neck, he narrows his empty, sad, red eyes and exhales.
No response, no pulse, not a single weak respiration, no nothing. That human is dead, and he killed him twice. More importantly, there is no one to blame but himself for that. Shiki thinks to himself.
“However, you were so close to succeeding…” the dark-haired male comments in a gloomy tone as he brushes his palm down to close Akira’s crimson dead eyes.
Lastly, after he places one hand behind his partner’s shoulders and another under his thighs, he stands up. Thus, Shiki carries his partner to the inner quarters.
Some time has passed.
After washing Akira in his personal bath and carefully drying him, Shiki dresses him in the white shinishozoku¹ before lying him on the bed and covering him with the blanket.
The noble creature of the night understands that he should head to the catacombs and set his late partner on the journey to the netherworld without wasting time. However, deep inside, he still wishes to stay longer with him.
Even after his death, this human makes him act based on irrational emotions. The vampire wonders as he cracks a bitter-sweet smile.
However, Shiki sorrowfully narrows his gaze when he carefully strokes Akira’s cheek.
A second later, the red-eyed male covers his eyes with his palm and bites his lower lip.
A few days have passed.
It is late evening, and Shiki has spent another day in his panther form without bothering to return to his true one or leave the silver-haired male’s side.
As he rested his upper body on Akira’s chest, he remained so to this very moment.
Even when, time from time, the dark feline lifts his head and checks on him, he lowers his round ears and exhales through his nose while keeping his long tail pressed to his tensed body before narrowing his gaze and staring into the void.
However, the sudden knock on the door and the concerned voice behind it make Shiki lift his head. “Master, are you alright? You’ve locked yourself here for a few days.”
Soon, the red-eyed panther wrinkles his nose and growls like a wounded animal.
After a brief pause, the demon maid’s voice addresses him. “We understand you are still grieving over Young Master. However, you shouldn’t neglect yourself nor forget to take care of yourself just because of him. After all, he was only a human, and it’s not your fault that he died.”
Soon, another voice continues in a formal tone. “Master, please open the door. You must understand that it is difficult for us to see you upset and not letting us to help you. So, if that boy causes you so much pain, let us bury him for you. Please, just let him go already.”
Yet, after hearing these words, the panther roars and hisses to drive away anyone who dares to intrude on him.
“... Alright. We understood. We’ll come back later, Master. However, if you need anything, please let us know. Goodnight.” Another maid adds.
Soon, Shiki is left alone again, and with that, he licks his face and rests his head on Akira’s chest.
A couple of hours have passed since this restless night.
Suddenly, the black panther lifts his head and ruffles his fur upon sensing an awfully familiar dark energy.
More importantly, it’s stronger than before. There is no mistake - That Man is near, even if he wanders somewhere in the inner quarters.
But for now, the red-eyed feline jumps from the bed and becomes a liquid shadow.
A second later, Shiki reveals his true form and becomes a vampire.
However, after the vampire turns his head to the window side, he grasps his attached katana and grinds his teeth as That Man places HIS palm on the window and briefly stares into his eyes.
Soon, HE narrows HIS gaze, making the vampire slightly shrug and shake his palms.
At that moment, even if he cannot hear these words with his own ears, they ring in his head in that same monotonic, calm voice. “So, now, his soul is dyed in pitch-black? Fine. However, it’s still too early. The bud is only starting to spurt… I’ll return when the flower will fully bloom and scatter its seeds. Farewell.”
Thus, the pale figure with light hair and glowing purple eyes turns HIS back and disappears into the night.
Lastly, Shiki closes his eyes and hits the nearest wall. “… Shit. Why does HE always return to just mock me and leave?”
After he turns back, he removes the warm blanket from Akira and carefully picks him up like a wounded princess.
It doesn’t matter what HE meant by these words, the dark-haired male will try to figure it out later. However, one thing is for sure - he cannot let anyone else have somebody that only belongs to him. Therefore, he has to take Akira, where no one will reach him. Shiki decides as he leaves the room while carrying his partner.
