Okay, aaand I'm back with a new chapter. So, maybe it's not the project, which people want to see (yup, for some reason, I've noticed that people are sticking to Fading Blossom in the Sand, like insects to the honey (Why???? How come a dark science fantasy is more attractive? I don't get it, I simply don't.)
Anyway, this chapter is more or less like a warm-up before the big boss fight. That's right, the next chapter would be the conclusion of current arc ( * ́꒳`*)੭
Yup, after that I wanna work on incubus Orochi backstory arc, which is set before he meets Shingo. It can't be helped that I fell for them. So, I blame that one rp, which from crack-fic become into a thing and leaded to write unpublished first fanfic ever (Orochi-sama is simply the beauty, the grace, the... perfection ♡〜ლ(๑癶ᴗ癶๑)ლ〜♡ )
Anyway,
As always, enjoy!~
It was already a late afternoon of a new day. Nevertheless, it was hard to tell it thanks to the black-out blinders, which kept away even the slightest ray of light. Finally, one certain vampire hunter started to wake up. However, when the redhead opens his eyes and suddenly sits up, the sharp pain spread across his chest, made him instantly grasp around the wounded area and briefly groan. As Yagami deeply breathes, he remembers what happened the previous night. Surely, even in the fights against the most ferocious and high-rank monsters, Iori was never that close to being on the verge of death like he was accidentally triggering Kyo’s worst memories. More so, if he was in the middle of the battle, at least the redhead would instantly take care of any beast, who will dare to attack him but now… Perhaps, it was just this brunette’s self-defense reflex.
Nevertheless, for the first few seconds, Yagami saw in the vampire’s glowing crimson eyes a pure desire to kill and feast on his new prey. Iori even feared that his life would be taken by the nocturnal creature, who, in the end, gave up to his primal instincts. Yet, to his surprise, Kyo was fighting against his nature and at the same time wanting to desperately save him. Why?… Instead of that, Kusanagi's heir could just satisfy his hunger and get all the needed life force to have his revenge against whatever demon took his powers, but he didn’t. Hell, the brunette has even shown his most vulnerable and sensitive side to the hunter. ‘‘That stupid vampire… why he can’t stop being such a trouble-maker?’’ or so, murmured to himself, the redhead hunter.
Speaking of which, where is he, wondered Yagami. Once he leans towards the night table and turns on the light, the room was brightened by the warm tones of orange light. Yet, no sign of the brunette. Perhaps, he is once again hanging around the inn. So, it’s time to check where this could be a trouble-making vampire. But first, he needs to get up and change his clothes. And thus, a good half-hour has passed.
After leaving the bathroom, the redhead noticed one certain brunette placing a few rolls of medical bandage and antiseptic spray bottle on the table. Of course, the sound of the opening door made Kyo turn his head, yet he gently greets Yagami ‘‘Oh, so, you are awake already?’’. When he noticed how the medical bandage around Iori’s chest managed to get stained, this vampire narrows his gaze and sighs ‘‘Good thing that I took these with me. So, sit down and let’s change this old bandage.’’. However, Yagami objects in a chill tone ‘‘There is no need. It’s just a small scratch.’’. Such a reply didn’t satisfy the brunette, who now takes one of the rolls into his hand and walks closer to the redhead. As he gently points the roll-on Iori’s chest, the vampire starts to lecture him while giving such a sour look ‘‘ ‘Small’ he says… It doesn’t matter what kind of size, ‘cos if I can smell your blood scent, then other vampires or monsters will be able as well. Think, what are we gonna do if you’ll attract a lot of unwanted attention on the way? You’ll just hurt yourself. So, the sooner your wounds will heal, the better.’’.
After placing his other hand on the hunter’s lower back, the brunette closes his eyes and pushes him towards the bedside ‘‘Hurry up and sit down, you big idiot.’’. One thing is for sure, the redhead wanted to tease this vampire when he tries to look serious, yet he decided that it can wait for another time. So, for now, he allows Kusanagi to take care of him.
Some time has passed. Surprisingly, the vampire did a decent job. Perhaps, in the meantime, while Iori was still asleep, Kyo was learning how to treat wounds. Nevertheless, all this time the brunette was pretty calm aside when he noticed his made wound across the hunter's chest. Just then, this nocturnal creature avoided looking at it and just quickly covered it with the white medical bandage. When Kyo finishes tying the knot on the bandage, he speaks up “There. That should do… I think.”. After the brunette stands up and leaves the bed, he tidies up the dirty bandage. Meanwhile, Iori starts to look for his black vest.
Once Yagami buttons up the vest, he slightly lifts the blinder to check whenever the sun has hidden behind the horizon. It was the time when these two should take their leave. So, after picking his long red coat from the closet and putting it on, Iori hears the vampire’s slightly concerned voice ‘‘You sure that you won’t catch a cold just wearing that? How about you should check the nearest shop and get something warmer?’’. As the redhead turns around to face Kyo, he irritated look ‘‘We already wasted more time here than we should. Who knows, whenever something else happened to you after that light entered you. So, put on your jacket and let’s leave this place.’’. Of course, the brunette wanted to backfire, but he knew that it is pointless to argue with a stubborn idiot. That’s why, after rolling his eyes, Kyo picks his jacket and puts it on. As soon as they leave the inn, they straight-ahead go to pay a visit to Chizuru.
It was a calm night, and the crescent moon and stars were ruling the sky. Only the light breeze was disturbing the nocturnal silence by the rustling tree leaves. More importantly, there were no encounters against any monsters or suspicious types on their way. So, upon reaching the shop of one certain witch, Yagami knocks into the door ‘‘Open the door, Kagura! There is something I need to show you.’’. However, no answer, so, the redhead refuses to give up and now adds in a serious tone ‘‘There might be something wrong with Kyo. So, show up before I’ll-’’. ‘‘Before you’re what, Yagami? You don’t need to be so loud.’’ interrupted the calm and polite voice behind the door. It was followed by the ebony-haired woman opening the door and greeting two familiar faces ‘‘What exactly happened? Anyway, come in.’’.
After they entered the shop, Yagami approaches the counter while looking for something in one of his coat’s inner pockets. Once he takes out the pile of alchemy texts, he handles them to Kagura. Meanwhile, the jet-black-haired witch flips page after page, she gives a questioning look to the hunter and asks in a stricter tone ‘‘Where did you get these? Did you know that these texts contain taboo topics and forbidden rituals? You should get rid of them as soon as possible. Who knows what may happen if it fell into nefarious hands…’’. Now the Kusanagi speaks up ‘‘And this is why when we found them in some sort of necromancers’ cave, Yagami wanted to give them to you. He told that you would know what to do with these.’’.
However, no matter how Iori tried to sound serious, but there was sensible concern in his voice ‘‘Anyway, you can do whatever you want with these texts, but first check Kyo and fix him. There is something wrong with him.’’. It was followed by the brunette giving him a surprised and indignant look on his face. Yet, just as this nocturnal creature opens his mouth to say something, the hunter stretches his arm and covers the vampire’s mouth while silencing him with a strict look ‘‘Shush. I need to know this.’’. Soon enough, it was followed by these two making a scene. Meanwhile, Chizuru just silently observed and waited how these two grow-up children would sort between themselves, yet it seems that it might take a whole night if no longer… That’s why she knew that she had to step to calm them down.
So, once she puts the texts on the counter, the ebony-hair woman interrupts their argument ‘‘Enough! If you come here just to argue, you can leave before I turn you into hairy toads.’’. Surely, it got their attention, and now the vampire makes big innocent eyes and defends himself ‘‘It’s not my fault that Yagami makes a big deal out of nothing. All I did was just slashing that giant bat into a half and then some sort of blue orb entered me. But I swear, even after we left that cave, I was okay!’’. However, it piqued this witch’s curiosity, and she asks Kyo ‘‘Did anything like this happened to you in the past?’’. The brunette honestly replies while rubbing the back of his neck ‘‘As far as I remember, nope. This is the first time.’’. After clenching his hands into fists, Iori impatiently asks ‘‘Is it anything serious or not?’’.
Now, the black-haired witch takes a deep breath and replies while resting her chin on her knuckles “It sounds like he may awaken one of the rarest abilities, which can only have a highest-rank of vampires or demons. However, very few can fully use it. When a demon or monster kills their target, there is a very low chance that they might absorb the enemy’s soul and use their abilities for a brief time being. You hunters are familiar with the term ‘Power of Dominance’, aren’t you? That’s why I want to see for myself if it is a case like that.”.
After looking towards the brunette's side, she addresses him “Kusanagi, I need you to cooperate with me. There is one thing, which I need to confirm. But first, Yagami should stay outside until it's done.”. All of a sudden, the redhead hunter slams his hands on the counter and indignantly speaks up ‘‘What a hell do you mean by that!? Why can't I?’’. ‘‘It is a magical ritual, which requires precision and accuracy. One tiny wrong step and you’ll damage the Kusanagi beyond the repair and destroy his mind. So, I don’t want you to disturb me.’’ calmly replied the witch. It seems that it would be pointless to argue any further with this woman, so, Iori shakes his head and turns away. Just before taking his leave, the redhead hunter adds ‘‘ Do as you want… Yet, you won’t get rid-off me so easily.’’. Perhaps, the redhead was that desperate to know what is happening to Kyo that he leaves the rest in Kagura’s hands. Either way, Chizuru gave a relieving smile ‘‘Thank you.’’ and it was followed by Yagami closing the door.
Finally, they were left alone. However, the brunette doubtfully stared at the ebony-haired woman, who comforts him ‘‘You have no reason to be afraid, Kusanagi. I’ll put you to sleep, first. So, close your eyes and relax. Once you’re awake, it will be over.’’. Of course, Kyo was still not sure how this will end, but he decides to have a faith in this woman. After closing his eyes and exhaling, the nocturnal creature impatiently awaits for whatever Chizuru has planned. Now, this witch starts to silently cast a spell, and soon enough the tiny glowing orb appears on her index finger. When she pushed the platinum-colored orb inside the brunette’s forehead, Kyo instantly feels like a rag-doll on the ground.
Meanwhile, the redhead hunter was leaning against the wall near the door, yet the sudden noise from the inside made him lift his head. He wanted to check if anything happened to the brunette, but he changed his mind, mostly because of what kind of curse this witch can spell. That one time of getting electrocuted by that barrier was enough to realize that it is wise not to get on the bad side of Kagura. That’s why, for now, he would just patiently wait.
Now, the ebony-haired woman sits on her knees and after placing her hand above the Kusanagi’s chest, she starts to cast another spell. It was followed by a silver-colored magical circle that appears under her hand. Eventually, the nocturnal creature’s body started to float in the air. However, Chizuru gets alerted once she senses the enormous amount of dark energy surrounding Kyo. All of a sudden, the brunette opens his eyes, which were glowing in cold and piercing crimson red. After taking a better look at the brunette, Kagura noticed that his skin and hair had become darker. More so, his sharp fangs and nails showed up. Yet, it felt like an entirely different creature was in front of her.
After 'Nagi breaks the magical circle and manages to stand up, he delightfully gazes at his new prey “Hello~”. Surely, it made Chizuru widen her eyes and crawl backward as far as she could from the vampire, who was approaching her. After reaching the counter, this woman looked nothing more than defenseless, despite directly staring at the dark brunette without showing any sign of being afraid. However, this witch's reaction entertained the dark brunette, who just chuckles “What's wrong, aren't you the one, who woke me up?”. Now, ‘Nagi mockingly comments ‘‘You’re barely even worth to become my food. But I guess that you’ll do for now, even if you are a worthless half-breed, woman.’’. Yet, Chizuru didn’t give up the nocturnal creature’s provocation and moves her hand towards the vampire. Just when the dark brunette is about to bend down, he dumbfounded widens his crimson eyes.
All of a sudden, the blinding shock wave was sent his way. Unfortunately, ‘Nagi couldn’t avoid the impact. Yet, his defense reflexes were fast enough. That’s right, the menacing creature managed to shield himself with his arms. Even so, it was followed by his face twisting in pain and barely being able to stand. It was only a matter of seconds when his knees would give up on him. When he was harshly panting, the dark brunette growls at Kagura ‘‘Damn… You shouldn’t have done that! I would have finished you quickly, but now… You’ll fucking pay for this!’’.
Meanwhile, Chizuru just gave a judging gaze and warned him in a serious tone ‘‘It was just a warning. Give up and leave Kusanagi’s body before you’ll get harmed. I won’t hesitate to use the full force of nature against you.’’. However, as the vampire reveals his bare fangs, the sound of a door slamming behind him gets his attention. It was followed by the angry voice of a certain redhead hunter ‘‘ What a hell is going, Kagura!? Where the hell that demonic energy came from?!-’’. Surely, upon seeing Kyo like this shocked Yagami at first, yet it was changed by the hunter’s furious gaze and taking the whip into his left hand.
Now ‘Nagi greets the redhead in nearly singing voice ‘‘Oh, look, who decided to show up~ How about let’s play before I’ll feast on you, human?’’. It was followed by the dark brunette’s sharp nail slash. However, it seems that the ferocious creature missed his target, and nearly lost his balance. Despite that, Iori showed no mercy for this vampire and now punches the ‘Nagi into the guts. Surely, while the dark brunette was groaning in pain, Yagami unleashes the Vampire Killer. It was only a matter of seconds when the nocturnal creature was wrapped around the hunter’s whip. However, the more this ‘Nagi struggled to escape, the more deeply the burning pain spread inside his body.
Despite that, the redhead just pulled his whip tighter while observed this creature resisting and shrieking. All of a sudden, Yagami got alerted by Chizuru’s voice ‘‘Yagami, catch this!’’. Fortunately, his reaction was faster, and he managed to catch something small inside his hand. After opening his palm, the redhead notices a small silver cross. Once again, Kagura addresses him ‘‘Hurry up! Press it against Kusanagi’s head.’’. Of course, he doubted this idea, but if that will help Kyo return to normal, he had no other choice. After kneeling, the redhead hunter placed the small cross against the brunette’s forehead. Now, this nocturnal creature lets out the last groan before he completely lost consciousness and stops struggling.
Lastly, as Iori unwraps his trustworthy weapon from Kyo’s body, he noticed how the brunette was turning back to that same trouble-making vampire, which he knew. Meanwhile, the ebony-haired woman was getting closer, she speaks up ‘‘Help me to carry him inside the hut.’’. Just as the hunter throws the vampire over his one shoulder, he gives a serious look ‘‘You better have a good explanation for this.’’. However, of all possible times, Iori felt a sharp pain across his chest. Surely, it concerned Chizuru and when she stretched her arm towards the hunter, Yagami quickly responds ‘‘No. I’ll manage on my own. So, stay away.’’. After shakily standing up, Iori starts to carry the vampire and with Kagura leaves the hut. Just what in the world happened when these two were gone, or so, wondered the ebony-haired witch until they reached the door of the hut.
A/N: *sigh* and for now, I feel like I'm into the mood to write a very self-indulgent one-shot before September 30th. Yet, still struggling between picking the OTP wholesome content (incubus Orochi and priest Shingo fic), or ''what if...'' type fic (Yup, how would hunter Iori's first encounter vs vampire Kyo would end up, if this vampire would still have his hypnotizing voice).
Both ideas are fun to write, but which to pick first?
