Alright, and before starting this month's writing prompt, I wanted to give an update for this one ^^
So, not sure whether this is anti-climatic fight, but it sure was fun to work on~
However, as one friend told that if vamp!Shiki would unleash the vampire powers, the poor hunter wouldn't last so long xD
Yup, at first, I wanted to Shiki go like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZGut2aYxOg&t=4892s
Yeah, good luck letting Akira to fight this kind of level vampire!~ xDDDDD
Yet, for now, shikitty just wanted to play with him.
Hmm, but I wonder if Shiki may have the Power of Dominance... (yup, something similar to what Soma Cruz has) So, that's a good question, indeed! xD
A-anyway,
As always,
Enjoy!~
--------------------------------
As the silver-haired hunter storms inside, he declares ‘‘I finally found you! You won’t! - Won’t run… away?’’.
After noticing a familiar figure sitting on the throne as it was his, his eyes widen. All he can do is dumbfounded stare at this person, who wears a long coat with short sleeves and leather pants ‘‘Shiki… What are you doing here? Isn’t it where your master supposed to be?’’.
However, instead of giving the wanted answers, the dark-haired man stares at him with a calm look on his face. Even if these crimson eyes glow with impatience, the nocturnal creature continues observing how this human behaves. For now, he rests his head and hands on his sword.
Suddenly, the hunter straightens his back as Shiki addresses him ‘‘What’s wrong? You are doubting.’’.
Yet, Akira takes a deep breath and clenches his hands into fists. After he approaches the protector of the throne, he declares ‘‘I’m not here to fight you. All I’m here is to take down your master - Il Re! However, you leave me no choice if you stand in my way. That’s why, if you summon your owner, I will spare your life. After all, you saved my life before.’’.
The nocturnal creature only cracks a smile and chuckles ‘‘If that’s so? Then, answer me this. Are you truly here by your choice? Or did you come here by following orders like a dog?’’.
‘‘It should not concern you! Nor, it’s important.’’ Akira instantly backfires.
After a brief pause, he adds ‘‘Why should I tell anything to the domestic cat, who is sent to do his lazy owner’s work?’’.
When he picks up his trustworthy knife, he points it at Shiki. Now, he continues ‘‘I will not fight for someone’s entertainment - not for the Count’s, or anyone else. Neither to prove anything. However, if this is the only way to get him, so it be.’’.
Even if the hunter’s blade is close to him, the supposed-to-be panther doesn't feel threatened. Contrary, he is entertained by facing a human who doesn’t shrug in fear at his presence.
As the tip of the knife follows the dark-haired man, he proudly stands up ‘‘Hmph. You keep barking, but can you bite?’’. Lastly, he declares ‘‘Do not disappoint me, vampire hunter!’’.
After the nocturnal creature draws the katana out of the sheath, he lowers the blade and closes his eyes.
The vampire hunter didn’t expect such a gesture. Yet, it doesn’t matter if Shiki is mocking him. Akira will use it to his advantage.
That’s why one sudden strike into his chest should be enough, right? Or so, he thinks as he prepares for the attack. In the end, the silver-haired man charges at his opponent.
Suddenly, he widens his big blue eyes as he hits the thin air. Fortunately, the hunter’s reaction is fast, and he dodges the long blade from behind.
When he rolls to the side and turns back, he glares at Shiki while defending himself. For sure, these ice-cold eyes alone warn that the hunter is ready to kill if anyone will try their luck.
After putting his knife aside, he picks several knives from the knife bag.
Without wasting a single second, Akira throws multiple blades at his opponent. However, Shiki instantly reflects the attack by spinning the katana with one hand.
Just before the knives touch the ground, the ebony-haired man turns into the liquid shadow and becomes the panther. Lastly, he dashes at the hunter at full speed.
Unfortunately, Akira had no time to react and crashes into the stone wall. As his back touches the wall, he lets out a gasp and nearly loses consciousness. After his body slides down until it reaches the ground, he can feel warm blood running from his head.
For now, he can only roughly breathe without removing his eyes from Shiki bouncing back and landing on his paws.
Meanwhile, the big feline turns into his formal shape and observes his fallen prey.
It was too quick a victory and, perhaps, a mistake, having high expectations of this human. On the other hand, his blood scent is too good. Or so, Shiki wonders while approaching the hunter.
In the end, he raises the long blade, which reflects the suffering hunter, and swings it at Akira. One sudden cut and…-
Suddenly, the crimson-eyed man is surprised by the sound of clashing metal and the white sparkles around their blades. However, it’s nowhere close to an appealing view as those Akira’s deep blue determined eyes.
As Shiki’s katana slides down, the hunter speaks up ‘‘I’m not done yet! Nor you’ll kill me that easy.’’.
It only makes the nocturnal creature curve a smile on his face ‘‘Hmph. Then, get up and entertain me more, vampire killer.’’. And thus, with these words, Shiki places his hand to reveal the side behind his long coat. After removing the attached katana from the belt, he tosses it at Akira.
Even if the silver-haired man catches it in his hands and briefly studies it, he gives a suspicious look while shakily standing up.
‘‘You shouldn’t give your weapon to the enemy.’’ The hunter addresses him, reveals the naked blade, and points it at its previous owner ‘‘Unless you want to fall under your own blade.’’.
However, from the hunter’s battle stance alone, Shiki can see that his opponent is not used to holding a sword. Although, the nocturnal creature admires Akira’s fighting spirit.
Like the previous time, the silver-haired man makes the first move and unleashes the powerful slash.
Lower guard, upper guard, mixed guard - the ebony-haired man gracefully blocks each strike. It’s already clear that this foolish human won’t last long with such aggressive thrusting and heavy strikes.
Nevertheless, he admits the hunter’s stubbornness is amazing despite the lack of practice.
Suddenly, even Shiki widens his eyes as he feels the blade touching his face and the red liquid running down his cheek. Yet, as soon as the cut appears, it fades in seconds.
Just as the nocturnal creature wipes the old blood with his gloved hand, his instincts quickly act.
He blocks the hunter’s diagonal slash. As the snow-white sparkles cover their touching blade, Shiki’s eyes glow in rising excitement. Lastly, he pushes his opponent’s sword.
For sure, even a millisecond of being dumbfounded costs Akira a lot. Suddenly, he receives a strong kick into the stomach.
As he harshly hits the ground, he lets out a painful groan.
Despite Akira being on the verge of death when Shiki slowly approaches him with the lowered katana, which thirsts for his blood, he remembers the cross on his neck.
For now, all he needs is to distract the man in front of him, even for a moment. While the blue-eyed hunter leans on his elbow, he picks up the remaining knives in the bag.
After Akira closes his eyes and tightly grasps the last blades between his fingers, he hopes for the best. It doesn’t matter if he won’t hurt his opponent or not - all it matters is to buy time.
As he opens his eyes, the hunter throws his weapons at Shiki, who instantly reflected his attack. In the end, Akira grasps the cross around his chest and shouts at the top of his lungs ‘‘GRAND CROSS!’’.
However, as Shiki remains standing, he remains unaffected. For now, he only raises his eye-brow and stares at his foe.
In the end, Akira widens his eyes and opens his mouth. Even through his trembling lips, he speaks up in a barely hearable voice ‘‘Shit… Did I do anything wrong? Why did it fail?’’.
Finally, the crimson-eyed man stands in front of him. While the tip of the katana is close to his throat, Akira stares at the victor of the fight.
‘‘What’s this?’’ Shiki asks as his blade traces down the hunter’s neck. After it lifts the silver cross, he continues remarking ‘‘So, this is on what you rely to save you? Tsk. What a waste of time.’’.
Lastly, the silver-haired hunter briefly gasps as the silver necklace is torn by his enemy’s blade.
After the ringing sound of fallen jewelry, the red-eyed man allows his katana to rest in a sheath. When he kneels closely to Akira, he grabs him by his t-shirt. However, he smirks as the hunter places his hands and grasps his holding hand.
‘‘Do you still resist even if you know you’ll die?’’ Shiki addresses his target. For now, noticing how behind these deep blue eyes, the furious flame dances entertains the nocturnal creature.
‘‘The hell with you!’’ Akira backfires through a groaning voice. Lastly, he gathers his remaining strength for his final attack.
Unfortunately, his sent kick to the side is instantly ceased by Shiki catching the leg.
While the nocturnal creature holds his shank, he comments ‘‘Good. It wouldn't be interesting if you don’t struggle.’’. However, he releases this limb after smelling the hunter’s strong scent of his blood.
Even during their battle, Shiki could sense it, but he believed maybe it was all in his mind.
That scent is too tempting that Shiki’s eyes glow even brighter, and he feels how a pair of sharp fangs touch his lips. But not now - it’s too early to taste the hunter’s blood.
Besides, if he sinks his fangs into Akira’s neck, it won’t taste as good as when he would give it by himself.
Meanwhile, Akira is in shock after the sudden revelation ‘‘It can’t be true… You are… Shiki… Are you a vampire?’’.
‘‘You only realized this now? Hmph. It doesn’t matter. You’re going with me~’’ The vampire replies to him in a nearly purring voice while ignoring his question.
Of course, such an answer is not promising, nor does not know what awaits him next concerning the hunter. That’s why he has to know what the red-eyed feline has prepared for him ‘‘Wait! What do mean?-’’.
Yet, he couldn’t finish his question when Shiki places one arm under his shoulders and another - under his thighs.
More importantly, the silver-haired hunter has to check that he won’t fall from the arrogant vampire’s arms.
In the end, he understands that no matter what he might say, his words won’t reach the nocturnal creature, who will act as he wishes.
Even when he is being lifted and carried like a wounded princess, he has to figure out how to leave this place.
But for now, after opening the door, they leave the master room.
Of course, the hunter wonders how long and where he is taken. Yet, his further thoughts are interrupted as Shiki jumps off the edge.
‘Does this fool tries to kill me?’ Or so, Akira thinks as he tightly holds into the reckless red-eyed man.
As these two are falling down, the silver-haired hunter closes his eyes.
Soon enough, the vampire safely lands as the feline while making sure that his prey is also unharmed.
For sure, that indignant look on his face is excellent proof that this human is fine. ‘‘What is it? Be grateful because I decided to take a shortcut.’’ Or so, Shiki replies.
While the crimson moonlight enlightens their path, Akira observes the new surroundings. From what he notices, he can tell that it appears to be a courtyard, separated from the outer world.
More so, unlike the top floor, it's not snowing. Another detail that catches his eye is the giant fountain in the center of this area, which is decorated with various statues of the ancient gods, and on top of it, the golden statue of the goddess that proudly raised a sword and spread wings.
Perhaps even someone like Count Il Re is chilling out near the fountain and enjoys the calming sound of streaming water.
However, the blue-eyed hunter almost gasps at how the crystal-clear water dyes in the crimson and eventually turns into blood as they pass the fountain.
Is it the dark ruler’s mercilessly slain victims and a reminder of his cruel and bloodthirsty nature and great power? Or is it the wicked magic of this castle to scare away the wanderers?
But for now, Akira knows he shouldn’t let his guard off and wait as much as needed until Shiki rests. Then, it will be a perfect chance to steal his weapon and run away.
After a while, this couple reaches the large wooden gate. Lastly, the vampire opens the door, and both enter this building.
Some time passed. After arriving at the bedroom, Shiki drops Akira on the double-sized bed and gives a brief command ‘‘Undress.’’.
Yet, the blue-eyed hunter only half lies and dumbfounded stares ‘‘Huh?’’.
‘‘Did I stutter? You’re staying here. Or do you need help with that?’’ The vampire adds as he places his knee on the bed and leans closer to Akira.
‘‘Stay away!’’ The hunter warns as he launches a fist.
However, Shiki instantly catches and grasps it while his gaze remains calm. For now, he cracks a smile ‘‘When did you grow this bold to object? Aren’t you afraid your hand will dry and fall off by hurting your owner?’’.
Meanwhile, Akira grids his teeth and uses his chance to grab the nocturnal creature’s weapon.
Surprisingly, the owner of it doesn’t mind it and even releases his hand. After with-drawing, the vampire waits for how this human will act.
Instead of pointing the blade at Shiki, it is close to the hunter’s neck ‘‘Who told you that I’ll submit to the creature of the night, who acts like nothing but a spoiled cat? I’ll rather die than bow before you!’’. Without removing his eyes from Shiki, Akira adds ‘‘It’s too bad that you thought you use me as a toy or your food. Good luck cleaning this!’’.
Just as he closes his eyes and is about to slice his throat, he cannot move the katana as it is stuck.
After the hunter opens his eyes, he is shocked to see that Shiki grasps the naked blade and retrieves it ‘‘Hmph. Are you still going to act though? Fine. I’ll see how long it takes for you to realize your place.’’.
When the dark-haired man leaves the bed and is about to leave, he turns his head ‘‘You better get rid of that coat because you are no longer a hunter.’’.
However, he is stopped by the hunter’s voice ‘‘Wait! Aren’t you concerned that if you turn your back even for a second, I’ll try to kill myself?’’.
For sure, hearing such a question makes the vampire chuckle ‘‘Hmph. Then, I’ll resurrect you as many times as I need to.’’.
And thus, the crimson-eyed man leaves the room and locks the hunter. For now, he needs to give Akira some time to cool down and allow him to realize that it’s pointless to escape.
Meanwhile, even if Akira knows that his effort will be useless, he bangs on the door and demands to be released. After receiving no answers, the poor hunter falls to his knees and punches the ground as hard as he can ‘‘Shit…’’.
However, despite his aching body and hurt pride as a hunter, he is determined to make the vampire go through the same pain and humiliation once he restores his strength.
Some time passed. Shiki finally unlocks the door and enters while carrying the first aid kit. Yet, when he notices Akira, who not only did what he was told to but also seems to fell asleep already while he is curled into a ball.
After the red-eyed man sits on the bed, he silently observes the slumbering human. Perhaps, for tonight, he would allow him to peacefully rest.
