Either way,
As always,
Enjoy!~
----------------------------

A couple of weeks have passed since Shiki started to train Akira.
Despite such a brief period, the vampire is genially impressed by how quickly his human mastered the basics of swordsmanship.
Perhaps tomorrow he’ll take Akira to the Colosseum. Besides, if any pesky fool will survive long enough, he’ll allow him to face him as supposed-to-be Il Re. Or so Shiki decides as he watches the silver-haired male slashing down the armored knight.
Within the shattering metal noise, Akira puts his katana back into the sheath, attaches to his belt, and closes his eyes.
As he turns his head and opens his calm blue eyes, he addresses Shiki. “Is that all? Or did you pick low-ranked monsters because you’ll feed on me later?”
While the dark-haired male leans against the training arena’s wall and crosses his arms, he smirks like a feline. “Unless you want it so badly.”
Sure, it’s hard to keep his serious face, but Akira decides not to let the vampire tease him, and only silently exhales while approaching him.
After a brief pause, Shiki adds. “Let’s go. You need to rest for tomorrow.”
The blue-eyed male raises his eyebrow as he follows his partner. “What are you up to this time?”
Before Shiki opens the gate, he turns his head and replies. “You’ll see by then.”
Lastly, Akira rolls his eyes and remains silent.
A second later, he turns his head and gets prompted by the vampire. “What is it? Don’t just stand there.”
After the silver-haired hunter lowers his gaze, he opens the door and steps inside.
At the very least, he expected to see the walls covered in wooden planks and lighten up with small torches across the entire corridor.
More so, Akira strangely feels comforted by the light of countless warm flames surrounding them.
Even on their way, he can hear the faith sound of the streaming water that gets louder with each step.
Certainly, he hasn’t expected to see such spacious indoor hot springs.
On top of that, modern era style one, with oak plank walls and ceiling, and a stone floor.
In the corner of the room stands a beautiful white marble statue of a woman pouring water from a pitcher.
Even the buttons on her tunic, the necklace, bracelets, and her hair accessories are made from gold.
More so, the water runs down without rest from her held pitcher to the bath, which could fit at least a group of people.
Next to the statue, there are large shelves with rolled towels resting on them, bottles of massage and aromatic oils, and lightened votive candles.
Soon, Akira remembers he might be here not for nothing. After turning his back, he asks. “Why did you bring me here?”
However, the vampire only closes his eyes and replies. “That’s a stupid question.”
When he opens his crimson eyes, his chin points at the towel shelf and commands. “Undress and put it on. Or do you need a help with that?”
At first, the silver-haired male seems to listen to his partner’s demand.
When he approaches one shelf and picks a snow-white towel, he turns his head and slightly frowns. “Then what about you? I’m not going in if you’re going to just stand there and watch.”
Instead of saying anything, Shiki gracefully gets closer like a feline.
As he holds Akira’s chin, he narrows his gaze and smirks. After all, these indignant yet questioning blue eyes entertain him.
After a brief pause, he releases his partner’s chin and turns his back. Just before taking his leave, he replies. “Just make sure that I find you in the bath.”
In the end, Akira only closes his eyes and exhales.
No matter what that stupid vampire has in mind, it’s useless wasting time trying to guess what he has planned. Moreover, he will become bored quickly if he continues playing by the rules he has created. The blue-eyed swordsman decides as he unbuttons his black vest.
Some time has passed.
Akira is completely at ease in the hot spring, where the water seems to wash away all his troubles and stress.
At this point, he doesn’t even care to fall asleep or slide to the center of the bath and drift to wherever the current will take him.
Finally, he closes his calm blue eyes and listens to the streaming water while forgetting that Shiki has left.
Several minutes have passed.
Suddenly, Akira widens his eyes and sits by the sound of something poured into the water.
After he turns around, he notices Shiki only having a towel wrapped around his waist and holding an empty green bottle.
He was not confused by the dark-haired man standing over him, but by the spreading scent of lavender in the room.
“What is it with you?” Shiki asks before walking down the stairs and joining his partner.
Despite Akira moving further from him, the vampire keeps sitting closer to him.
After getting chased like this for a good circle, he gives up and allows the red-eyed vampire to sit close to him.
But for now, Shiki crosses his arms and exhales while his human looks away.
After a minute of awkward pause, the silver-haired male lowers his shoulders and turns his head towards his partner.
Just as he opens his mouth, he notices Shiki is peacefully sleeping. Or so Akira can assume from the vampire not responding to him.
In any case, it’s his first time seeing the fearsome ruler of the night exposing himself like this in his true form.
More so, Akira feels how the blood rushes to his cheeks by observing the slumbering nocturnal creature.
No matter how hard for him to admit it, he slowly starts admiring how a ruthless creature like Shiki reminds him of a beautiful, fragile porcelain doll with pale skin and silky hair and how even a single wrong touch could shatter him into tiny pieces.
At this point, the vampire might be easily mistaken for one by his doll-like face with the pretty eyelashes.
Unfortunately, when Akira lowers his curious blue eyes on his partner’s chest, he instinctively grasps his own and softens his gaze.
Apparently, there is a scar in the middle of his chest, as if he was stabbed by the enormous blade in the past.
As his fingertips are about to touch the vampire’s scar, he gets alerted by Shiki opening his eyes.
A moment later, the water splashes as Shiki grabs his wrist and pulls him close.
Even when his body is pressed against his partner’s and his hand thrown over his shoulder, Akira cannot comprehend how he ends up in this position.
However, the vampire’s voice makes him lift his head. “What were you thinking of doing?”
At that moment, the silver-haired male can only stare with his big blue eyes at Shiki, looking at him with his stoic face and waiting for his answers.
Soon, Akira returns to his senses.
After he closes his eyes and shakes his head, he places his palms on his partner’s chest and gently pushes him away.
To his surprise, Shiki only silently observes him as an annoyed feline whose sleep is disturbed for no reason.
After the blue-eyed hunter leans against the bath’s wall and lowers his gaze, he comments in a slightly gloomier voice. “I don’t understand… Vampires are known for their instant wound healing. You weren’t supposed to have that scar. So, why do you have it? Who done this to you?”
“Hmph. It shouldn’t concern you.” The vampire backfires as he crosses his arms and narrows his gaze.
Yet, Akira immediately responds while giving a questioning look. “Does it have anything to do with That Man you mentioned once?”
It makes Shiki widen his eyes and grasp around his heart area by remembering HIM and HIS indifferent changing color eyes looking down on him while his bloody palm twitched.
Meanwhile, the silver-haired male closes his eyes and sighs. “So, I was right…”
As he opens his eyes, he adds. “Just whom in the world have you fought? It’s not an ordinary monster, right?”
For sure, it’s the last drop patience of Shiki’s patience.
Suddenly, he corners his prey while his crimson eyes glow and silently growling at him.
Despite the nocturnal creature’s intimidation, Akira keeps his poker face without removing his eyes from him.
After a brief pause, he addresses the vampire. “Do as you wish. However, weren’t you the one who told me not to let the emotions control you? At least practice what you preach.”
When Shiki places his hand on the side of his human’s neck and slides it down, he rests it on his shoulder.
Meanwhile, Akira voluntarily turns his head and exposes the other side of his neck, impatiently waiting for the vampire to sink his fangs.
Besides, it’s not the first time when Shiki feeds on him. That’s why he has learned to make himself comfortable while Shiki feeds on him.
Despite that, he still cannot bring himself to look at how the vampire is about to sink his fangs, as if it were watching how a nurse is about to draw blood from him.
However, he is alright with Shiki feeding on him. At least he can be reassured that this stupid vampire is safe and not recklessly throwing his life.
Yet, he is still not fully get used to by Shiki’s fangs piercing his skin each time. Akira thinks to himself while mentally preparing for another ritual, which has become an inevitable part of his routine.
Meanwhile, such a gesture thrills the nocturnal creature, and he delightfully narrows his gaze.
“You are something else, Akira…” Shiki remarks in a purring-like voice while holding his partner’s upper arm with his other hand.
Lastly, the silver-haired male lets out a shivery sigh and closes his eyes when the vampire licks his neck.
“What I just told you earlier?” Akira whispers upon understanding that he has become a toy for this large feline. Nevertheless, he sinks his fingertips into Shiki’s hair and starts stroking them.
‘You stupid vampire…’ He wants to add but keeps it in his mind and closes his eyes.
It is the evening of another day.
Tonight, Shiki is supposed to show something important. Whatever it is, that vampire takes his time for what he refers to as preparations.
Either way, it must be something worth all that hype, then. Or so Akira decides as he checks the time on his pocket watch.
However, the sudden knock on his bedroom door and the polite voice behind it get his attention. “Are you awake, Young Master? Master Shiki would like to see you.”
“Yes. I’m coming.” The silver-haired male replies as he fixes his shirt.
After he opens the door, the demon maid with curly red hair closes her eyes and nods. “Please follow me.”
Thus, he closes the door behind him and follows this demon.
After a while, they leave the inner quarters and reach the same rusty elevator with metal bars that take them to the training arena.
When Akira expects the elevator to stop on the second floor, he is surprised that it’s still going up while the redhead maid remains calm.
When she notices the confused hunter, she gives a slightly concerned look. “Is everything alright, Young Master?”
A second later, she closes her green eyes and smiles. “Please do not worry. Just a little bit and we’ll be there.”
Upon the sound of the squeaking gears and rustling chains, the old elevator stops, and the metal bar door slides to let out the passengers.
After walking for a few minutes in the corridor, this couple is greeted by the spiral stone staircase lighting up.
For now, the demon maid politely points at it with her palm. “This way, Young Master.”
Meanwhile, he feels as having no choice but to follow the redhead until they reach the top of it. Or at least Akira believes so.
However, the silver-haired male stops climbing the stairs and widens his eyes as someone gently pulls his sleeve.
When he turns his head, the demon maid addresses him. “Where are you going, Young Master? That is the guests’ seats, and this is not where should we go.”
As she turns to the door next to her, she knocks on it. “Master, I’ve brought Young Master Akira as you asked. May we come in, please?”
After receiving the permission, the red-haired maid opens the door and allows Akira to go first.
After he takes a deep breath, he enters without knowing what to expect.
Upon observing his surroundings, Akira realizes he might be in the special room of the Colosseum reserved for important people.
After all, the tall throne facing the other side of the seats is the proof along the hanging opened curtains.
A second later, the vampire speaks up while sitting on the throne. “You can leave now.”
Meanwhile, the redhead bows before taking her leave and closing the door. “As you wish, sir.”
As Shiki stands up and leaves the throne, he receives an avalanche of questions from his partner. “You didn’t bring me here for nothing, did you? What did you want to show me so badly?”
“Come here and you’ll see.” The vampire replies.
No matter how much Akira doesn’t like being ordered by this arrogant fellow, he understands it is better to listen to him.
After he gets to the end of the room, he leans on the stone parapet.
For sure, from here, he can see the entire battle arena as it is on his palm.
More so, from the fresh blood traces on the walls and several weapons lying on the ground, he can guess that someone met their unfortunate fate recently.
Soon, he turns toward Shiki while resting his palms on the parapet and raising his eyebrow. “Is this what you wanted to show me? Or do you want just to show-off before you’ll kill another challenger?”
As the vampire steps closer, he closes his eyes and briefly explains. “Only if anyone lives long enough to fall under Il Re’s blade.”
After he opens his crimson eyes, he adds. “Tonight, you’ll be Il Re.”
“What do you mean?” The silver-haired male asks as he leans on the parapet.
However, Shiki remains calm and backfires. “Which part you do not understand? I’m lending you the Il Re title until you defeat your challenger.”
A second later, he takes Akira’s hand and adds. “Get up. A new challenger should show up any time. So, greet him properly.”
After the blue-eyed hunter allows the vampire to help him stand up, he gets to the throne and makes himself comfortable.
Yet, his guard is caught off by Shiki transforming into a liquid shadow that becomes a black panther with red eyes and a katana attached to his belt.
As Akira watches, the smug feline approaches him and sits next to him.
Lastly, Shiki wraps his tail around him and fixates his crimson eyes on the arena.
So, is he really taking this that seriously, huh? The silver-haired male wonders while staring at the serious panther and having a strange feeling of sitting as a new ruler of the demonic castle.
However, the loud rustling chains and the creaking gate alert Akira.
As the large gate lifts, the aloof challenger enters the arena.
It’s a man in his fifties with tied long curly dark hair and a beard wearing a long sangria color coat, crimson pants, and leather gloves.
More so, it’s one of the veteran vampire hunters, which Akira saw a few times in the Hunter Guild.
Even if hunters like him rarely visit the guild, each time they return, they bring an impressive S-rank or higher rank-worth monster with them.
After that man reaches the center of the arena, he picks up the bullwhip and points it at Akira.
While he keeps an unpleasant look on his face, he addresses the ruler of the castle. “Come out and face me, you monster! Or do you intend to hide like a coward?”
However, when the hunter takes a better look at the silver-haired male, he widens his eyes and lowers his whip. “It’s you!”
For sure, that man’s voice alone nearly makes Akira jump from his seat.
A second later, the veteran hunter asks. “What are you doing here? I come to defeat Il Re and not a stupid brat that cannot hold a weapon. Where is he, boy?”
Despite the dark-haired man’s intimidation, the blue-eyed swordsman keeps his new role and answers in a strict tone. “You are talking to one right now. However, I must congratulate you for making it this far.”
The hunter only cracks a smile. “Tsk. Don’t make me laugh. On the other hand… Perhaps the luck is on my side, after all. So, I’ll take that vampire’s head along with the traitor’s.”
Meanwhile, Shiki studies his human, and when he finishes his speech, he observes the challenger while narrowing his gaze.
Lastly, that man points at Akira. “Very well. I’ll take you down if that is the only way to summon that bastard!”
At first, the blue-eyed male checks on Shiki and gives him a confused look.
Yet, the noble creature of the night only keeps a straight face while exhaling through his nose.
At this moment, Akira understands he has to do what he has to do. Thus, after he stands up and takes a deep breath, he gets close to the parapet and jumps into the arena.
Surprisingly, he manages to land safely.
After he fixes his posture, he picks up the katana and points the tip of the blade at his opponent.
Meanwhile, the hunter keeps a proud look on his face and stretches his bullwhip.
Thus, the battle starts with Akira charging at his opponent.
However, the dark-haired man’s reaction is faster. And he unleashes several lower whip cracks.
Fortunately, Akira avoids each strike by jumping back. However, a strike after a strike, he nearly loses his balance.
Meanwhile, the veteran hunter takes to his advantage. Suddenly, he unleashes a powerful strike that hits his target, making him groan.
Yet Akira manages to kneel safely while his face twists in pain.
As long as he has the weapon in his hands, he can still fight. Besides, even if he cannot see right now, he’ll show Shiki that he won’t go down that easily. Or so the silver-haired male thinks while his blue eyes burn with determination.
Soon, Akira grips the handle with both hands and rushes at his opponent before releasing a diagonal slash.
That boy already lost. The hunter wonders as he cracks a mocking smile and jumps back.
A second later, he picks several knives from the bag attached to his belt and throws them at his opponent.
Suddenly, Akira twists the blade, reflecting most of the knives. After the hunter’s blades reach the ground, he uses the upper strike.
Yet, his attack is blocked by the older male’s stretched whip.
Just from what this whip is made of? The silver-haired male wonders as he widens his eyes and grinds his teeth by seeing how his sword doesn’t even scratch the enemy’s weapon.
“What’s the matter, boy? Did you chew more than you could swallow?” The veteran hunter mocks while unleashing another strike.
Unfortunately, Akira has no time to dodge the attack. Upon it slashes at him, he closes his eyes and gasps. A second later, he groans as he receives a kick in his guts. Yet, no matter what, he holds onto his katana.
Even while he roughly pants and leans on his trustworthy weapon, he keeps his ice-cold blue eyes on his opponent.
Meanwhile, Shiki only observes this fight while noting for himself what Akira’s flaws he should work on harder.
However, as the crimson-eyed panther lifts his paw, he freezes on the same spot by hearing his partner’s voice. “DO NOT EVEN DARE TO INTERFACE!”
At that moment, Akira shakily leans while grasping the handle of his katana with both hands.
While his lips tremble, he adds. “I’m not done yet… I can still fight!”
Surely, these words sparkle the excitement in the panther’s eyes.
After the dark-haired hunter bends, he grabs his throat and lifts him, making their eyes meet. “This is where you’re wrong.”
Yet Akira refuses to let go of his trustworthy weapon and gathers his remaining strength for the final attack.
In the end, the veteran hunter catches the naked blade with his gloved hand and throws it away, and he comments. “Too bad that the guild wants you alive. It can’t be helped then…”
After he finishes his speech, he aggressively tosses Akira to the ground and stomps on his back a few times.
A second later, he sends a powerful kick to the silver-haired male’s side, making him grunt and curl into a ball.
However, as he kneels and is about to tie his opponent’s hands behind his back, he immediately lifts his head by the panther’s roaring.
Apparently, Shiki jumps through the stone parapet and gracefully lands on his fours.
While the deadly feline approaches the arrogant human with his lowered tail, his red eyes flare with rage.
“The hell?… Did you finally decide to avenge your master?” The dark-haired male addresses the large feline.
However, Shiki only bares his sharp fangs and growls.
Just as the hunter stands up and aims his whip at the feral beast, he widens his eyes when the panther becomes into a liquid shadow and disappears. “What a?-”
Suddenly, the sound of the tearing flesh echoes, and the hunter lets out an agonizing scream.
As the blood splashes like a fountain from the hunter’s back, he collapses.
For now, the large feline bites into the same arm that had cracked a whip and tears it apart.
Meanwhile, Akira only leans on his elbow and silently observes how the large feline spits his opponent’s limb and the screaming hunter, begging to be spared.
However, Shiki goes for another limb as well.
The silver-haired male understands he has to stop the blood-thirsty predator before he’ll be overtaken by his blind wrath. Or so Akira decides as he shakily stands up, picks up his trustworthy weapon, and puts it back into the sheath.
Meanwhile, the black panther places his bloody paw on the fallen man and sinks his fangs into his nape.
One sudden move and Shiki rips down his cervical spine, silencing the dark-haired man once and for all.
Just before he starts tearing apart the corpse, he receives a hit by the handle into his head. “Enough!”
For sure, it gets the large feline’s attention, and he wrinkles his nose while hissing at Akira.
However, the beast’s threat doesn’t affect the blue-eyed swordsman, and he narrows his ice-cold gaze.
While Akira attaches the katana to his belt, the panther spreads his legs and lowers his back while fixating his eyes on him.
Despite that, he scolds the feline. “He is dead already… Just look at yourself! You are nothing more than a feral animal! Yes, I lost. So, what? It was my mistake to fight someone who is clearly more superior…”
After a brief, he turns his back to him. “Do as you wish. Kill me or whatever you want to do with me. I don’t care…”
When he clenches his hands into fists, he lowers his shoulders and exhales. “I do not want to see a feral animal playing with his food. I’m leaving.”
Meanwhile, Shiki lowers his ears and licks his face while keeping his lowered tail close to him.
But for now, the panther stands and approaches the hunter from behind.
Soon, he nibs on his partner’s sleeve and pulls it.
Such a gesture makes the silver-haired swordsman turn his head.
After noticing the large feline keeping his lowered ears and staring at him with big red eyes, Akira softens his gaze and sighs. “You stupid cat…”
Just before he lands his palm on Shiki, he immediately withdraws it when the panther transforms into a liquid shadow.
Soon enough, the blue-eyed swordsman sighs as he becomes into a certain vampire he knows.
Yet, when Akira notices a strangely sleepy look on Shiki’s face, he realizes it may not end well.
Instead of saying anything, he remains silent while Shiki wraps one arm around him and brings him close to him.
Even when the dark-haired male moves his arm around his shoulders while another one is on his hips, Akira only fixates his blue eyes on him.
After Shiki lifts his partner, he checks on him with a content expression and addresses him. “What’s wrong? I’ll just need to see your wounds.”
Lastly, the red-eyed vampire carries Akira as a wounded princess.
