A few moments ago~

"I'll open the portal that leads to Ayato, it's easier and faster that way." Haru said as he summoned the sword that Karlheinz gave him.

(Y/N) raised her brows at him,
"You can do that?" She never knew that Haru held the ability to create portals.

Haru smiled sheepishly at her,
"It's a funny story actually, I was kind of goofing around with the sword. When I thought of going to a churro stand to buy myself a treat. I unconsciously did a light stroke on my sword, still focusing on that sweet thought when I found out a huge cut in front of me. Curiosity got the best of me and I entered that huge cut that looks like a portal. When I reopened my eyes, I found myself in front of a churro stand with a frightened woman in front of me, begging me to spare her."

(Y/N) sweat-dropped, typical of Haru.

Reiji cleared his throat,
"Shouldn't we get going?" He is not fazed by Haru's churro story.

Laito slightly chuckled,
"You do know that it's not the time for a flashback, Haru~" Kanato stayed oddly quiet while Yui is busy with her thoughts on 'saving' her Ayato-kun.

Haru pouted childishly,
What a story-pooper
He pushed that silly thought aside and focused on the location where Ayato is, then he made a light stroke on a wall, it looked like the sword had made a huge sliced portal on it.

"Let's-" He wasn't able to finish his sentence when Yui recklessly went to the portal without a care.

Reiji pinched the bridge of his nose, he's now regretting the fact that he allowed Yui to participate in this.

Laito casually shook his head,
"My,my. Bitch-chan is quite eager for this."

(Y/N) sighed and faced the portal,
"Let's not mind about that for now, the important thing is that we save Ayato-san." Her answer caused Laito to narrow his eyes, she kept on talking about Ayato, but how about him? He's not comfortable about Ayato getting this much attention from her.

Kanato gripped on his Teddy tighter, why is (Y/N) not paying attention to him at all? Since this evening, all she talked about is Ayato.

It's all because of you, Ayato.

Haru saw the purple-head's expression, he immediately knew that Kanato is jealous of Ayato. He shook his head at this. Boy, those vampires are pretty possessive.

-------------------------------------------

When (Y/N) opened her eyes, she found herself in an open field. But what caught her attention is a castle that stood afar from here.

She immediately saw a blonde-head not far away from here and she concluded that it was Yui.

"Yui-san!"

Yui still held Ayato in her arms, her figure shaking slightly. She bawled her hands into fists, tears threatening to fall from her sherbet eyes.

Ayato-kun likes (Y/N)...

She was snapped out from her thoughts when a deep voice spoke out.

"So you're E-Eve..." Carla managed to say those words but his body was aching all over. He fell over his knees causing Shin to be shocked at his action.

"Nii-san!"

The older Tsukinami used every bit of his strength to move, he started crawling towards Yui slowly.

"E-Eve... I need your b-blood..." His bloodied hand reached out to her, frightening Yui. She stayed frozen at her spot, not wanting to leave Ayato.

Before he could even reach her, a hand grabbed his arm, Carla looked up to see an upset Shin.

"What's wrong with you Nii-san?!" The younger Tsukinami demanded.

Carla stayed quiet, fueling Shin's irritation more. He grabbed his older brother by the collar forcing him to face him straight in the eye.

"You're acting...weak. Especially in front of that filthy vampire!" Shin's voice raised at him, which never happened before.

Carla opened his mouth but he only managed to cough out blood. Even though Shin is covered by his brother's blood, he is not fazed by it.

"If you can't finish the vampire, then I will." Shin dropped his brother on the ground, he was upset with him. He has always looked up on Carla but then why is his brother acting all weak?

Carla laid limp on the ground, his hollow eyes watched Shin approach Yui.

Shin gritted his teeth as he approached Yui, his irritation and anger will be thrown at the poor blonde. After all those centuries, his brother has always been strong, but what had made him fallen was a vampire?! A low-class beneath the First bloods?! No, he can't accept it. He won't accept the fact a vampire had made his brother like this, it will only satisfy him if the vampire is dead.

"Oh it's you again. Even though you hold our beautiful blood, I won't allow you nor that vampire to live much longer." He said, wielding a sword from his hand.

Yui hugged Ayato closer, she swear that she won't leave him alone. Even if it's the cost of her life.

Shin grinned widely, he raised his sword, ready to finish them both when a strong force pushed him harshly on the ground. He lost his grip on his sword and it was flung a few meters away from him.

(Y/N) approached Yui,
"Are you alright?" She asked.

"I'm alright but Ayato-kun is..." Yui looked at him and she couldn't bare to see him like this. A few tears escaped her eyes and it fell on his face.

(Y/N) widened her eyes as she looked at Ayato, who stayed still with his eyes close. She shakily reached out and held his hand.

He's colder than usual.

Shin sat up clutching his head, when he reopened his eyes, a sword threateningly stayed close to him, the blade merely touching his body.

"Don't move or else you'll know what's going to happen next." Haru said, a cold smile plastered on his face. The younger Tsukinami scoffed at him but obeyed anyway.

"Reiji-san, will Ayato-san be okay?" (Y/N) asked, she couldn't stop worrying for the red-head.

"I'm not certain... but knowing that brat, he wouldn't give up that easily. He will be back to his bratty-self first thing in the evening." Reiji said, nonchalantly as ever.

"Thank goodness." Yui sighed out in relief.

Laito and Kanato stayed at the sides, even though they are not close with the red-head anymore, they still feel a bit of concern for him. The three of them wouldn't forget the good memories they had when they were kids. The time when they don't have to compete for their so-called 'mother' attention.

"So what are we going to do with them (Y/N)?" Haru asked, his sword still on Shin. He wanted to kill those two for killing his parents but he knew that it wouldn't change anything.

The (H/C)-haired female looked at Shin who was muttering words under his breath and her (E/C) orbs landed on Carla. She calmly walked up to the oldest Tsukinami, ignoring Haru's protest of approaching him.

Carl felt a presence near him, he forced himself to look at the one who is standing over him. He was taken aback to see (Y/N) staring back at him. His vision blurred and every when he tried to move, his body won't respond at all.

Is this the end?

He's beginning to think that the Enzeit has finally spread throughout his body.

(Y/N) kneeled before him and examined his bloodied state.
"So this is what Endzeit did to your body."

Shin widened his eyes when he heard her words,
E-Endzeit...? Father also had that disease and it... killed him.

"You're lying! Nii-san doesn't have Endzeit!" Shin shouted out causing Haru to pressure the sword slightly on his body while shooting him a glare.

Carla's eyes locked with Shin's gold orbs,
"I-It's t-true..." He managed to choke out.

Shin froze then he muttered,
"You're leaving me too, aren't you?"
The older Tsukinami didn't respond, but only locked his gaze on him.

(Y/N) stood up and stared at Shin,
"I won't let that happen." Her words stunned the two first-bloods.
"Yui-san, could you please come here?"

The blonde slowly nodded, she slowly gave Ayato's body to Reiji, the ebony-haired male frowned at Ayato's state, this is definitely going to take awhile to fix him.

"This is going to hurt a bit, Yui-san." (Y/N) took a needle from her pocket and pricked the blonde's hand.

Yui flinched and a few drops fell on (Y/N)'s hand. "What are you doing?" She asked.

"You'll see."

(Y/N) pricked her other hand, the one that doesn't have Yui's blood. Then she did something unexpectedly, she combined both of their blood together.

"Celestial Fusion" The (H/C)-haired female said, then a glow emitted from her hands. Mostly everyone was awed by her action. When the glow diminished, she revealed a ruby-tear necklace.

"I'll put this on you Carla-san."

Carla didn't question her and he let her put the necklace on his dying body. (Y/N) clasped her hands together,
"Let this necklace serve as the vessel to extract the Endzeit from this First Blood and after all this has ended, let there be peace within the mortals, vampires and the remaining first blood's."

Everyone widened their eyes at
(Y/N)'s words, before anyone could question her, an agonized scream came out from Carla. Shin tried to reach out to his brother but Haru kept him down, preventing him from moving.

"Let me go! My brother-"

The ruby-tear necklace around Carla glowed, making him screech in pain again. After a few agonizing minutes, he grew quiet causing Shin to snap, he turned into his wolf form, surprising Haru.

Shin pushed away Haru roughly but the tip of Haru's blade made a scratch on him causing him to whimper for a second then he recollected himself. He ran to Carla pushing
(Y/N) and Yui away.

The younger Tsukinami in his wolf form, sniffed his brother, trying to detect any signs of life from him. If you look closely, the necklace around Carla turned to black as the obsidian gem.

Carla slowly reopened his eyes and stood up, he examined himself carefully then he tried to take a step. At first he almost fell but managed to catch himself. Shin turned back to his original form, a look of worry etched in his eyes.

"Nii-san?"

"It's...alright Shin, I'm fine." Carla said, his voice sounding a bit rough since his body is recovering slowly.

"But how...?" Shin asked, it's obvious that his face mixed with confusion and relief.

Carla's gaze went to (Y/N), then he slowly said,
"That spell, it is one of the spells created by Goddess Celestia."

(Y/N) sheepishly smiled,
"Looks like you did your research quite well."

The albino Tsukinami grabbed the now obsidian-colored necklace and crushed it, then his gaze on (Y/N) hardened.
"After all the things I did to you, why did you help me?" He demanded, his voice was sharp.

(Y/N) didn't answer at first, then she said calmly,
"I didn't help you because I pitied you in your state, but I couldn't bare to see Shin-san lose you."

Carla didn't respond and Shin decided to confront him,
"Nii-san, why didn't u tell me?"
Carla turned away slightly, he couldn't face his younger brother but he decided to tell him the truth.
"Shin, I know you had always look up to me as a strong older brother, but if you knew what had happened to me, you might change your perspective on me."

Shin blinked at him, then he chuckled slightly, shocking Carla. The younger Tsukinami scratched his head and grinned sheepishly,
"I never knew you had this kind of side nii-san, but I admit that I still see you as my strong nii-san." He turned away, when he admitted those words, it embarrass him to say it especially in front of the others.

"Shin..." Carla had an unnoticeable smile on his face.

(Y/N) clasped her hands together, happy for the two of them. Carla turned to her,
"You have my gratitude for this."

"It's no big deal, Yui-san helped me with her blood too."

Carla looked at Yui causing her to flinch, the male didn't say a word then he looked at his younger brother.

Shin seemed to understand what his brother was saying then he turned to the two females.

"Thanks... I guess." He muttered, but Carla nudged him causing him to grumble. "Thank you for saving Nii-san."

(Y/N) smiled at him,
"No problem, Shin-san."

The two were about to leave when (Y/N) spoke,
"I hope this isn't our last meeting, I would like to know the two of you better." She smiled, trying to befriend the two first-bloods.

Shin was about to speak when Carla beat him to it.

"We'll see about that." After he said those words, they were gone.

Reiji shook his head, he didn't expect the two first-bloods to have a close... bond. It irked him to see that kind of affection they have for each other.
On one hand, Laito was holding his laughter, he didn't get why those two have to make such a scene yet there's a nagging feeling in his icy heart but he couldn't pinpoint on what it was. On the other hand, Kanato didn't care what had happened, he only thought about how (Y/N) is trying to befriend the two first-bloods.

Haru clenched his hands, he knew that (Y/N) had forgiven those two but he still holds a grudge towards them for killing his parents.

I won't let them slide that easily, they still need to pay.

One of Ayato's arms were around Reiji, the older Sakamaki was holding him and he was annoyed at the fact that he was burden to carry the red-head.

I swear this brat will have a long sermon after this.

He was surprised when Ayato started coughing, then the red-head opened his eyes slowly. (Y/N) was about to approach him when the platinum blonde ran, "Ayato-kun!" Yui shouted as she rushed towards him.

(Y/N) watched as Yui tried to comfort him, then she looked at her hands which are stained from the blood before. She recalled that she was able to sense Shuu's and Subaru's aura when they bit her, it increased their strength.

If I try to give Ayato my blood, will it heal him or at least make him stronger? The girl wondered, then she decided to try it out.

"Good morning Ayato-san." She greeted him.

Yui was holding him and the red-head let out a snort,
"After all I've been through, that's the only thing you'll say to me, Mochi-chan?"

Laito chuckled, shaking his head.
"Bitchy-Kaichou is always like this, she stays unnaturally calm, trying to hide her worried state. Unlike Bitch-chan who is naïve that came rushing to you even though she can't do anything."

Yui frowned at Laito's words, yet she knew that he was right. All she did was shout pathetically after Ayato. "Yui is useless..." Kanato said, a blank look on his face. She closed her eyes trying to prevent the tears from falling.

(Y/N) noticed this but before she could speak, Haru spoke.

"She's not useless." Yui widened her eyes, she had never associated with Haru but when he defended her, it surprised her greatly.

"I appreciated at the fact she went this far for Ayato. She knew she couldn't do anything for him but she tried her best anyway, she was there for him. So that's when I know that Yui is not useless."

(Y/N) smiled at Haru, who in turn, smiled back at her. Laito and Kanato shrugged off his words, letting him be.

"Hey! Ore-sama is wounded right here! Can't we head back already?!" Ayato said, growing impatient. He's not putting all his weight on Yui because he knew that blonde would be squashed like a pancake if he did.

Reiji sighed, at least Ayato is back to his bratty self.

"Before we head back, Ayato-san, can you drink my blood?" (Y/N) said out of the blue, surprising mostly everyone.

"What?!" Haru shouted, he was taken aback by (Y/N)'s words.

Ayato smirked,
"Since you offered it yourself Mochi-chan, I'll gladly take up your offer. I always knew you had a thing for me, you finally showed it Mochi-chan."

"Don't flatter yourself Ayato-san." She rolled her eyes, at least he still have the energy to boast himself.

(Y/N) rolled up one of her sleeves, showing her (S/C) wrist. Since Ayato is still weak to move, she brought her wrist to his mouth. The red-head gladly sunk his fangs on her wrist, drinking her blood.

Ayato widened his eyes, this blood is not sweet as Yui but it satisfied him. There's this flavor in (Y/N)'s blood that made it more different from Yui, and he craved more for it. He started to slurp hungrily, demanding more causing (Y/N) to yank her wrist out from him.

"I believe that's enough for now Ayato-san." (Y/N)t took out a bandage and covered the mark that is forming in her wrist.

The sight of (Y/N)'s blood made Laito,Kanato and Reiji's eyes glow. They wanted to taste it for themselves.

Ayato licked the last drip of (Y/N)'s blood from his mouth. Then he felt slightly odd... his body began to respond as if everything in him has been turned on again. The strength he could feel running through his veins had returned. He slowly pushed Yui away, much to her disappointment and tried to stand up by himself.

"Looks like I'm all healed by Mochi-chan's blood."

(Y/N) was relieved to see him move around freely by himself.
At least my blood was not a waste.

Laito pouted,
"How about me Bitchy-Kaichou? I wanted to taste your blood too."

Kanato softly spoke,
"I want your blood too."

(Y/N) shook her head,
"I only gave Ayato my blood since he's injured. You can't have my blood just to satisfy your thirst of blood."

The fedora male chuckled,
"Then I should injure myself to get a taste of you Bitchy-Kaichou~"

Kanato pouted, which is a cute sight to see, he'll hatch a plan to get his doll's blood sooner or later. Reiji stayed quiet, controlling himself from his blood thirst because he knew that if he tried to hurt (Y/N) again, Haru would have his head.

One of Haru's eyes twitched, he couldn't believe (Y/N) had given her blood willingly to Ayato. He'll never hear the end of it, he could see it now, Ayato boasting himself for getting a taste of (Y/N)'s blood.

Ayato slung his arm casually around (Y/N)'s shoulders,
"So when are you letting me taste your blood again?"

"Probably never again." (Y/N) simply answered.

The red-head was about to complain when Reiji grabbed him by the collar,
"I won't let you slide away from this brat. Firstly, you need a bath. Secondly, your grounded for leaving the household. Lastly, wait till I tell Father about this, he'll throw a fit and send you to the North Pole like what he did to that spineless brat." He scolded him like a mother scolding her child.

Ayato groaned in annoyance,
"Do you really have to say 'brat' in every words you say?" He muttered under his breath but Reiji shot him a look,
"What did you say?" Reiji pretended not to hear him.

"Oh you heard what I clearly said, Table-ware Otaku." Ayato's reply caused Reiji to glare at him.

(Y/N) sweat-dropped, looks like everything is back to normal. She let out a slight yawn and Haru grabbed her shoulder,
"Let's head back, you need to sleep."

The (H/C)-haired female sleepily nodded, then a question caught her off guard.

"Do you want me to carry you?" Haru asked, a kind smile etched on his face.

She shook her head,
"No thanks, I'm good."

Haru pouted for a second then he looked at the vampires. In his mind, he concentrated on the Sakamaki household then he did a light stroke using his sword in mid-air, it caused a portal to open.

"This portal leads back back to your household."

Reiji nodded,
"I appreciate your help Haru." Even though he said this, he didn't mean it at all. Haru clicked his tongue,
"I don't need your appreciation, I only helped because (Y/N) asked me to." He
