[Chapter 14]
“Yokoyama-san! Calm down… please!”
That voice... It irritated me. I was standing in my patient room, staring at the wolf before my eyes. The room around us might as well be described as a mini-tornado whipped inside and destroyed nearly everything. Shattered glasses from the window and medical equipment scattered around the ground; making it nearly possible to walk around without getting punctured by a single sharp shard. The bed was knocked to the side along with whatever piece of furniture in this room. Scratch marks and clawing dragged along both the smooth ground and wall around us. Blood splattered here and there. Signs of struggles was clearly evident in this room.
The both of us were battered, bruised, torn up. The white wolf that was so-called ‘Kumi’ was breathing heavily. Inhaling and exhaling through her respiratory system in a rapid pace. Blood was seen trickling down one side of her mouth followed by a few, but deep, scratch marks on her body. White soft coat were coated with pure, wet red blood on certain areas. She was struggling to keep her composure straight as she stared into my eyes deeply.
Wiping a thin stream of blood escaping from the corner of my mouth with the back of my hand, I stared back at her. The need to kill and tear her apart was irresistible. There was… excitement just thinking about it. And when blood was spilled, oh how much I wanted to just drink it up. That was all that ran through my mind. Just blood being shed and killing any living organism before me.
A grin formed on my lips when I saw the wolf bear her bloody teeth at me again. “Yokoyama-san… I have to resort to killing you if this keeps up…” she growled. There was a mixture of both sadness and frustration seen within her blue eyes. Barking a few times, she bent all four of her limbs. Then like a spring, she leapt at my direction.
Claws extended and jaw opened, she tried to bite one of my aimed shoulders. But I didn’t let her have any chance. From my viewpoint, she was slow; too slow to be exactly. I merely dodged her strike and struck back with one swing of my arm. That sent the wolf flying to the left of my direction, slamming right against the wall with a painful sound resonating. A cry came from Kumi as she slumped to the ground motionless.
I knew she wasn’t dead thanks to my heightened senses. I could still hear her heartbeat pulsing all of the blood through her body rapidly. Heat was still given off and her respiratory system was working hard to pumping all of the oxygen into her brain. Pink tongue sticking out of her mouth from exhaustion. It looked as though Kumi was done with the battle. And it was time for me to end it.
Not wanting to drag this fight any longer, I approached towards the lying figure. Bending down, I was just about to wrap my hands around the wolf’s mane neck when I heard someone else yelling at me.
“Yuihan!”
That familiar voice. The familiar powerful voice. I halted whatever I was doing at the moment and painfully dragged my attention towards the source of the voice. Turning my body around, I saw a shorter girl along with a few girls standing right by her sides. All of them were dressed in military clothing with ammunition all on them. Rifles’ tip were all pointed at me. The girl in the very middle was wearing a red cap that marked she was different from the other girls. Stepping forth, she lowered her gun.
“Yuihan… I can’t believe you’ve awaken…”
I frowned. As much as the voice and person before me was familiar, I didn’t know who she was. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I cocked my head to the side, hearing a crack from such action. “I don’t even know who the hell you are.”
The shorter girl seemed to be shock at my answer. She stared at me as though I was insane. Her left hand placed on top of her own chest. Tears were welling up from her eyes. “I’m Takahashi Minami… General of this base… The person that took you as her underling and the one that cared for you… Can’t you remember me?”
A long sigh came from my mouth. I didn’t get why she was suddenly asking if I remembered her. As if. I didn’t know anybody. All I know is my name and the urge to murder just about anyone. A chuckle left my lips as I got up on my two feet. This movement made the other members standing behind the so-called ‘Minami’ to ready their weapons at me. I could see their fingers itching to pull the trigger but at the same time, they were trembling in fear and unsureness.
Minami walked up to my direction; trying to approach to me. I didn’t back away but rather watched with amusement. Does this person dare challenge me? Before she got to open her mouth and say anything, I instantly got annoyed and kicked her aside. My foot landed right on her left ribcage and heard an ‘urk!’ from her. She was shoved aside and sent staggering for a few seconds.
I used this chance to charge at the other members that stood across from me. With a smile, I enjoyed hearing their screams of agony when I knocked their guns aside and brought them down to my feet. "Yuko, watch out!" I heard Minami yell out from behind me when I struck out at them. I knew I should try to keep this short and I could hear even more individuals headed towards where I was. So I did. I kept it as short as possible.

“Sayanee! Can’t you go any faster?!” Haruka questioned loudly as she tightened her grip on the wolf’s black mane. There was a low growl heard from Sayanee. “It isn’t quite as easy through the rain, Paruru. Last thing I want is to trip and throw you off of my back.”
The two figures were dashing through the rain that pounded upon them. It was difficult to see thanks to how heavy it was pouring from the dark clouds up above. Sayanee’s paws were heard splashing through the puddle as she dodged the many trees at her way. She was panting, trying to proceed as fast as possible while maintaining balance with the wet setting. Haruka herself shuddered as each drop of rain fell upon her body. She was in a hurry with gathering all of the books in the last couple weeks, so she wasn’t prepared for the incoming weather. Especially when it’s this bad.
A small sneeze left her followed by a sniffle.
“I really need to hurry up…” she heard Sayanee mutter to herself as the pace picked up.
Haruka leaned forward and rested on top of Sayanee’s body as the wolf sped up at incredible speed. She squeezed her eyes shut, keeping the bag containing the books in between her body and the wolf’s safe from the rain. She was worried. Deathly worried about the state of Yui and if she’s alright. ‘Hopefully she hasn’t awaken yet,’ Haruka mentally hoped as she focused on keeping her body from falling off of Sayanee. But even with that thought in mind, there was something bugging her. Telling her that... something bad had happened.
----------
I trended through the hospital hallway of the building. I soon figured out that I was in a base. Multiple floorings with many members heard scrambling around above and below me. A grin was plastered on my face with the thought of the many individuals right under my hand. The urge to kill… It drives me insane now that it was peaceful on this floor and how I couldn’t bring myself just yet to drink their blood. They weren’t dead but severely injured. Their moans and groans of their injuries were still heard from the area. I wanted to kill them, but something in the back of my mind pulled me back from snapping any one of their lifeline's short. But I didn't care. I would like to hear their cry for help when I take their blood from them.
I was going to turn around when I heard the elevator from behind me ding. Alarmed, I stayed frozen in my spot. I perked up my ears; listening and staying still. The sound of the metal door being slid opened revealed two pair of soft footsteps coming at me. It was soft as though the two figures were trying to sneak up on this very person. I mentally scoffed at such stupidity of them. But I decided to play along.
Waiting for a few seconds, I felt that they were close enough. Close enough that I could strike out at them. Whipping around, I grabbed both of the figure’s weapons and crushed it with my bare hands. It wasn't too hard to break these weapons. They felt like plastic toy guns that could be found in a toy store. The two girls were startled at my fast reaction. Quickly I saw them drop the weapons and pulled out their pistols. The one with the familiar perfect black bangs and another with a tomboyish aura and short black hair aimed at me. They opened fire, but they were far too slow.
I swiftly threw a low kick at their legs. This sent them down on the ground instantly with a slam. I could see that they weren’t wasting any time being on the ground. “Jurina!” I heard one of the girl called out. “Here!” The taller of the two staggered up to her feet only to be thrown with the gun the shorter girl on the ground had. So-called ‘Jurina’ caught it and immediately pointed the two pistols at my direction and shot. Her fingers pulled the trigger. I could feel the bullet slamming into my shoulders; cleanly going right through the muscle and surprisingly, avoiding the bones. It didn’t falter me though. No pain was registered.
Cocking my head to the side, I grabbed Jurina by the collar of her military uniform. With one flick, I had her flying right next to the elevator that they came from. Her back slammed harshly against the metal door and slid down to the ground. The other girl below me scrambled up and pulled something out from behind her. Or more like unsheathed something. The sound of metal sliding out of its hold was heard as the girl pulled out the object. It was a dagger. And she didn’t hesitate to shove it right at my stomach. I didn’t let her though. My right hand came in the way and grabbed the blade that was so close to piercing through my bloody hospital clothing.
Blood was trickling from my hand and on the surface of the blade when I gripped even tighter. The feeling of the warm liquid dripping down to the hard surface of the ground below me simply brought excitement to my system. Ripping it away from her grasp, I turned the tide and smacked her on the side of her head with the butt of the dagger. She stumbled backward in daze. Getting a little tired from this fight and noticing that Jurina was running at our direction, I decided to end it right here and right now.
I threw down the weapon at my hand and gave the girl stumbling in front of me one hell of a shove to my left. My shove wasn't a simple shove that could make anyone stumble. It was a shove with so much force that literally sent the girl falling backward and tumbling with a couple rolls. “Mayu!” Jurina cried out when she saw the other girl crash right into the huge clear windows that showed the rainy scenario from outside. Glass shards were everywhere when her body came into contact with the window. And she fell. Her scream from falling could be heard since we were high up from the ground.
Jurina soon was seen dashing over to where ‘Mayu’ was sent to. She skidded to a stop at the very edge. “MAYU! NO!” she screamed in pure horror as she flicked her head left and right; trying to find the shorter girl. I could see panic overcoming her senses. Was that person close to her? She ignored me and ran over to where that girl was thrown out at.
I shrugged my shoulders though as I came up from behind the girl. I was about to let her meet the same fate as the other girl when I felt someone roughly pulling me back. And someone that was pulling me back was much stronger than I had expected. My feet was lifted off from the ground and I saw myself thrown backward from Jurina. Feeling my back landing on the floor, I was sliding for a brief moment on the smooth white flooring.
“Don’t you dare touch my Jurina,” there was another female voice. Only this time it was much darker. Using both of my arms to just lift up my upper body, I saw a female figure standing right beside Jurina. Black hair flowing due to the wind from the outside entering into the building, she was dressed in her black leather jacket and black pant. The girl glared at me as she hugged the shocked Jurina protectively.
“R-R-R-Rena!? What are you doing here?!”
‘Rena’ then silenced the other girl with one of her fingers. She turned her attention away from me and towards the other girl. The other hand brushing aside her bangs that was matted against to her forehead due to the sweat, she whispered, “I had a gut feeling that something was going to happen; something bad.” She then shot another glare at my direction. Her eyes squinted when she saw my figure. “I see… So you have awaken then… As a dark vampire…”
This girl isn’t normal. Rena wasn’t normal. I sensed that as her pupils within her eyes darkened just slightly. The aura around the girl immediately told me that she was another vampire. But… a vampire that neither is good nor bad. Just a vampire. But I sense that she is powerful that what that pale, frail figure is showing off. In the next second made me scowl from annoyance. Another vampire presence was felt and this time, it came from outside.
Another figure was seen jumping up from outside and right into the very same room that we three were standing in. The female figure landed silently; not a single sound produced from such massive jump. And when she stood up straight, I saw Mayu in her grasp. The younger girl was unconscious and held close to the other figure. Rena flicked her eyes over to the other girl and sighed in relief.
“I’m glad you managed to save her in the nick of time Yuki…” she whispered in a soft tone. "If we weren't fast enough... Then that could turn out bad for Watanabe-san."
Jurina was heard to also have a relieved sigh. Her tense boy was seen to relax in Rena's grip and she muttered, "Oh thank god Mayuyu is safe..." For some reason when she utter those words, the girl that was hugging Jurina tightened her hold on her.
I then saw ‘Yuki’ hug the girl in her grasp closer to her body. “She’s injured though… She’s hurt.” Yuki examined Mayu and squinted her eyes when she saw the cuts and bruises on the girl's skin. Then she raised her head up and growled at my direction. “I see… So Yokoyama Yui, you have awaken and caused quite a huge commotion…”
There was this urge to laugh off at them. And I did laugh. I laughed at her statement about my action as I got up on my two feet. “Indeed I did!” While laughing, I felt like the need to kill was increasing. And this time, I was getting thirsty. Though there was a water fountain nearby, it didn’t interest me. It was the blood that was what I wanted. The blood… The delicious smell… Oh, how much I just wanted to taste it and drink it up. My laughter died down and smirked. “I’m getting really thirsty…”
The expression of horror flashed across on Yuki’s, Rena’s and Jurina’s face when they heard my comment. The next second, I was forced to duck in order to avoid receiving any brain damage from Rena. She left Jurina behind with Yuki when she made the attack. Backing away a few steps, I couldn’t help but feel my smile grow even wider. ‘This is going to be one hell of a day…’
Rena in front of me shook her head. “Yokoyama-san, you need to try to wake up from it. If not, I have to be forced to put you down if you don’t snap out of it.” I snarled with anger when she finished speaking. ‘Talking to me like I’m some sort of animal… Aren’t I already awake?!’ I pounced forth like a panther, reaching both of my hands out to her neck. But she was faster than I thought. She simply stepped back a few steps, completely avoiding my range.
I fell forward and landed on all four. Keeping my four limbs all on the ground, I hissed at her. I bear my teeth at her, trying to frighten the other vampire with my fangs. Rena could only widen her eyes a bit and sadden her expression. “The virus really turned you insane… I’m sorry that you were turned into this menacing creature…” Her voice was becoming irritating and made me want to snap her neck. Crush her into dust.
“Careful Rena. You don’t want to provoke her even if you didn't mean to,” I heard Yuki warn Rena. “She’s unstable, so I think it’s best if we end her life right now-“
“What are you saying, Kashiwagi-san?!” Jurina countered. “She’s our comrade! She’s important to us!”
“We can’t do anything if she’s already a ravaged beast. Just look at her!” I saw her finger pointed at my direction. “Tell me how you’re going to control this girl at a state like this! It’s too late! And last thing I want to see is someone dying from another dark vampire!”
I could see that Jurina wanted to argue more but the sound of the elevator silenced all of us. Followed by a ding, the door slid open once more to reveal two more figures. One was a black wolf and another was… a familiar figure.
The striking sharp eyes. The short brown hair. The familiar girl… Just like everyone else I have seen here aside from Yuki and Rena, I felt as though I have met her before. But why do I feel like I’ve known her better than everyone else?
As I was left to ponder in my thoughts and glare at the two figures, the black wolf snarled at me. “Paruru, we have to deal with this quick,” I heard the female voice speak out of the wolf’s mouth. The girl standing right beside her nodded. Looking over at both Rena, Jurina and Yuki, she then said, “I know how we can keep Yokoyama-san from tearing this place apart. I need her to be held down while I perform a quick ritual that’ll keep her from becoming wild. Though it is only short-lived, it will give us more than enough time to perform another ritual that will make her sane once more.”
I exhaled loudly through my nose as they continued to talk. This was getting really annoying fast. And I wanted to end this entire conversation for good. I positioned myself carefully before leaping on my nearest victim, Rena. She was taken by surprise, but her instinct was lucky to be fast. Instantly she brought me down with a fist landing on my stomach. She quickly held one side of my body down while the black wolf from earlier jumped in and held the other half of my body. They both were strong and fatigue was already getting to me. So as much as I struggled, I wasn’t able to get much progress into getting out of their grip.
“Haruka! Hurry!” ‘Sayanee’ rapidly spoke while pressing her paws down on my arm. The so-called girl ‘Haruka’ was then seen to be standing above me. Holding a book that looked like it came from a couple hundred years ago, she flipped a few pages. Haruka then mumbled a few words under her breath. It was incomprehensible and none of them made any sense. However, there was this sudden wave of sleepiness overcoming my mind. My body felt heavy like lead and I couldn’t my limbs. Even when I tried to move them, they wouldn’t listen to my command and laid under the weight of the two figures on me. All sound soon was blocked from my eardrums, hearing only my breathing slowing down. Eyelids became heavier with each passing second. In a matter of seconds, I drifted into the darkness.
---------
Haruka had just finished mumbling off a spell from the chosen book at hand. Glancing up from the pages, she saw Yui below her asleep. A loud sigh left her lips as she nodded at both Sayanee and Rena. “Thank you so much… um…” Rena began to speak as she got up from her spot.
“Shimazaki Haruka.”
“Ah, right. Thank you so much, Shimazaki-san. I’m Matsui Rena.”
“Kashiwagi Yuki desu,” Yuki pitched in, nodding at Haruka’s direction for quick greetings. Haruka gave them a small smile. “I’m just glad I came in at the right timing…”
Sayanee nearby walked up right beside Haruka and barked a few times. “I’m Yamamoto Sayaka, so yoroshiku onegaishimasu.” Then she bowed her head for a brief moment.
The other girls aside from Haruka returned her greetings with their own.
“Now that all introductions are done, we need to quickly take care of Yokoyama-san here before she awakens once more,” Haruka explained as she closed the book shut with one hand. Walking over to Yui, she knelt down to the sleeping girl’s level. She saw her expression at peace. Aside from the blood splattered on her face and torn clothing. Haruka shuddered when she remembered how frantic she was when she came into the base not too long ago.
The members on the first floor were all running around, trying to seal off the medical floor and gather members to take out Yui. She remembered how horrified she felt when Ichikawa Miori explained to her that Yui had awaken and injuring everyone on that floor. Doctor Kojima Haruna… Nurses like Kimoto Kanon… And other military members that went up on that floor to settle the situation was knocked out. Haruka heard from her that even the general, Takahashi Minami and the returning member, Oshima Yuko, was easily taken down from Yui. Both she and Sayanee knew that they don’t have much time left on their hand and they have to quickly transport up to that very floor. Thank god they made it just in the nick of time.
Haruka brushed aside a lock of Yui’s stray black bangs and tucked it behind her ear. The pale skin… It felt cold to her touch. The pair of warm brown eyes were now replaced with dangerous red glowing eyes. Just staring at it could make anyone cower in fear from earlier. Looking at the other girls, Haruka just noticed that Mayu was in Yuki’s arms. The girl was unconscious. With a frown, Haruka stood up and saw how battered both she and Jurina were.
“You both need to get treated right away. We need to get everyone on this floor treated… I’m no doctor, but I’ll tend to the wounds and injuries the best I can,” she advised as she sneaked a glance back at Yui. “After I take care of Yokoyama-san here with Sayanee's and Rena's support first though.”
