Chapter 9
------------------------------
The next day, Sayaka was training everyone for combat against the stronger vampires that have recently started attacking. Rena was sitting in the corner watching everyone, especially Jurina who are getting better in fighting.
Suddenly the door opened and Yuki come inside followed by Takamina.
“Hello everyone.” she greeted.
“Takamina-san, what brings you here?” Jurina asked, wiping the sweat off her face with towel. Rena and Yuki steal a glance at one another.
“Today we have a guest who wants to see you guys training.” Takamina said glancing at the lady who just come in the training room with huge grin.
“Hello, everyone my name is Ohori Megumi,” The lady introduced.
“Ohori-san is one of the council members.” Takamina explained. “She wanted to come and check up on our progress.”
“Oh, is that true?”
“Yes, yes~ I’ve come here to see how my children are doing.”
“We aren’t really your children,” Rena bluntly said.
Ohori grinned and looked at Yuki. “And you must be the new member.”
Yuki bowed slightly.
Checking her up and down Ohori asked, “Takamina-san, if you don’t mind, can I see Yuki and Rena fighting?”
“Eh?!” Both girls exclaimed.
“Why not? I’m sure you’ll be impressed.”
Takamina signaled the girls to the center of the room for a spar fight. Yuki and Rena glared at Takamina. The short hunter felt a chill up her spine.
“I hope I didn’t do something wrong,” she said before going to Sayaka and clinging to her.
“Ready, you two?”
Rena cracked her neck. “As I’ll ever be…”
Yuki popped her knuckles. “Let’s get this over with.”
“Begin!”
“With pleasure!” Rena said punching Yuki who dodge her, twist her wrist and kicked Rena the stomach.
“I’m not going to let you do that so easily!”
“That hurts!!” Rena groans as she holds her stomach.
Yuki throws another punch again, catching the girl off guard.
“So weak! How are you supposed to fight with vampire elders?!”
“Like this!” Rena grabs the vampire girl and headlocks her, choking her neck. Yuki elbowed in her stomach and stepped on Rena’s feet.
The hunter cried out, causing Takamina to cut the fight short. She and Sayaka quickly separated the two, checking on Rena so that she wasn’t too hurt. Yuki noticed that Jurina was giving her an angered glare.
“I must say, you’re both very strong,” Ohori said as she walked to Yuki. “However, it seems that you two are going through something. You were letting emotion get to you. Did something happen?”
“What are you talking about?” Yuki asked
“You know what I’m talking about, Yuki.” Ohori inched closer to Yuki’s ear and whispered. “I can’t imagine how pissed your mother will be right now, knowing that her own daughter betrayed her again. And all for a human girl.”
Yuki’s eyes widened. “Who are you?”
“Someone who used to serve your mother. Let’s see how farther you can fight this time for her.” the woman smirked and walked toward Takamina. “Is Rena okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine,” Rena grumbled.
“Rena-chan, how can you let Yuki hurt you like this?” Jurina asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry, it’s normal. Besides, I must learn how to fight better.” Rena patted Jurina’s head and went to the changing room. She saw Yuki sitting on the beach, staring into space.
The vampire sat silent, taking deep breaths.
“Did you drink blood today?” Rena asked taking her sweaty shirt off.
“I took tablets.” Yuki replied as she moved her eyes on Rena sexy back. She felt her heart skip a beat, looking away as her cheeks turned pink.
“If I learned anything from last time, you need blood,” Rena said. She didn’t notice Yuki’s eyes staring and sat beside her. “Look, I know after what happened you may hate me… but, I don’t want this getting in the way of work.”
“What do you know how I feel?”
Rena saw Yuki gripping her hands together. Then, she got an idea.
“How about we have a pact? Somewhat of a truce.”
“Huh..?”
“I’ll let you drink my blood to get your fill. I can’t have you becoming weak when we’re out on a job. But in exchange, you have to do something for me, as well.”
“And what is that?”
“You cannot betray me.”
Yuki’s eyebrows furrowed. “What..?”
“No turning on me or the other hunters. No letting any vampires get away. No drinking of anyone else’s blood, besides me. And, most important, no killing or threats to kill. You’re one of us now, so you have to go by our rules. Is that clear?”
Yuki’s eyes turned red she quickly pinned Rena on the bench.
“Who do you think you are?” She growled showing her white fangs. “This is my life, I do as I want. You can’t tell me what to do, do don’t go around ordering me like my mom. I will drink when I want and from whom I want. I don’t. Need. Your. Fithy. Blood.”
She then let Rena go and stormed out of the room. Rena stayed in the same position she was in, staring where Yuki was. She felt hurt from the vampire’s words.
“Why..?” She clutched her chest.
“Why does it hurt?”------------------------
Yuki went back to the training room and started punching the punching bag. She continued punching it, till it torn out and fall on the ground.
“That was the third punching bag we lost in one week!” Sae murmured to Sayaka.
“She must be really ticked off. I hope she and Rena didn’t get into a fight on the last mission,” Sayaka brought up. “Those two always seemed to have a rough relationship.”
“Exactly, I never saw them smiling at each other. I think Takamina should find another partner for Rena. Someone who is good looking, sexy and hot,” Yuko, who was with them, said with a mischievous grin.
Yuki deadly glared at Yuko and walked out slamming the door hardly, causing it to leave a dent.
“Yuko, that was rude,” Sayaka flicked her forehead.
“Yeah! Yukirin is sexy and hot!” Sae suddenly blurted, making the two look at her. She immediately got flustered. “B-but, you’re still my girlfriend, Sayaka!”
“Oh I know,” Sayaka gave her girlfriend a peck on the cheek.
“Seriously, though, maybe they should be reassigned partners.”
“They need divorce before something and happens,” Yuko said, munching on some chips.
“Yuko, they aren’t a married couple,” Sae chuckled.
“Who aren’t a married couple?” Jurina asked coming from behind.
“No one!" Yuko replied looking else where but Jurina eyes.
“What are you hiding from me?” Jurina asked suspecting them.
“Nothing, we are just saying that Mariko and Micchan isn’t married, but that they should get married soon.” Sae said.
“Yes, they must!” Yuko agreed.
Suddenly, Takamina come rushing.
“Guys we have problem! There is a group of vampires out on a killing spree!”
“What? How many are there?” Jurina asked.
“Don’t know, but they are enough for a large group of us.”
“Let’s go! We have to save the humans.” Jurina said rushing out the training room to ready herself. Rena and Yuki were already preparing to head out.
“The teams will be me, Jurina, and Yuko, Sayaka and Sae, and Rena and Yuki. Is that clear?” Takamina informed.
“Um, wait, Takamina,” Sae then stopped. “Can Yukirin go with us?”
“Eh?!”
“Yeah, and let Jurina go with Rena!”
“I agree!” Jurina gave proud look. “I wanna fight beside Rena-chan!”
“Uhh… Okay then. Is that okay, you two?”
“Yeah, sure…” Rena sighed. “Can’t let Jurina go alone.”
Yuki glared at Sae again, draining the color of her face.
“H-hey, no hard feelings, right? Also, what Yuko said, she was just kidding. I--”
“Whatever…”
Sae pursed her lips as Yuki stood at her side.
“Don’t worry about it, Sae,” Sayaka said, pulling her lover close.
“Un…”
As Rena was staring at Yuki, she suddenly remembered the harsh words she spoke to her. She was hurt and angry at being said such things, especially by a vampire. But deep down, she was worried about her.
For example, what if she fainted while fighting? She would need blood sooner or later.
Rena shook her head, rubbing her temple.
“Hopeless vampire…”-------------------------------
In a few minutes after leaving the agency, they reached at the scene. Quickly grabbing their weapons, they jump out the car and looked around themselves finding everything messed up. They heard growling and screaming voices.
“Okay, everyone, let’s separate.” Takamina ordered runing the left with Yuko as Sae and Sayaka run to the right. Yuki and Rena steal glance at each other before running in separate directions.
Punching and twisting their neck, Sayaka throw the vampire at Sae, who stab them with silver stake. Takamina and Yuko were bashing vampires one by one, shooting them with silver bullets and poison and bomb arrows. Yuki keep piercing vampires with a wakizashi. Rena was using her silver swallow, while Jurina was using her gun and grenades.
They continue fighting until Takamina bashed the last vampire with her arrow.
“Finally… we finished…” she groaned as her muscles were sore from the intense fighting. Yuko was collapsed on the ground, she felt as if she were dead, her body was heavy.
Jurina, Sae and Sayaka come to panting hard.
“Where is Rena and Yuki?” Yuko asked.
“Didn’t she go with you guys?”
“I was with Rena, but then she suddenly ran off.” Jurina said worriedly.
“Yukirin, too. Before we knew it, she disappeared.”
“Where could they have gone?”
----------------------------
Meanwhile, Yuki was walking away from the battlefield, when she smelt a strong scent of blood and screaming voice. Quickly, she flew toward the source of the sound and saw a vampire attacking Rena. The vampire kicked with full force sending her flying.
“RENA!!” Yuki screamed and jumped forward, grabbing Rena before crashing in the wall harshly.
She looked at the vampire as it lunged towards them. In one swift motion, it took hold of Yuki and slammed her on the ground. Yuki cried in pain and stab the dagger in vampire leg. The vampire yelped in and kicked Yuki in the stomach.
“It’s nice to see you again, sister!” Yuki heard familiar voice, clutching her stomach she raised her head and saw a girl smirking at her.
“Miyuki?” Yuki eyes widened.
“It’s been while, Yuki.” Miyuki smiled walking toward Rena and holding her by neck. “I see you make mother angry again.”
“D-Don’t touch her.” Yuki coughed the blood.
“Why? She smells wonderful.” Miyuki caressed Rena’s cheek. “You really do have good taste, sister. Mind if I have a little bite?”
“No way in Hell!” Rena hold the piece of broken glass and stab it in Miyuki's shoulder.
Raising a brow, she laughed. “Woah, you seem strong.”
“Let her go!” Yuki tried to grab Miyuki, but was pushed away by another kick.
Miyuki nuzzled into Rena’s neck, taking in her delicious scent.
“My, you do smell good. I can’t waste this. Itadakimasu~”
Miyuki bit Rena’s neck, tasting her blood. Rena yelled from the pain, trying to push her off, but growing weak as her muscles gave out from fighting.
“NO!!!” Yuki yelled in anger and pain, letting her vampire side take the control. Her eyes glowed bright red, her nails grew long and sharp, and her fangs grew as she roared out.
She grabbed Miyuki and ripped her away from Rena, pinning her to the wall and choking her as she held her up.
“I don’t care if you’re my sister…” she growled. “I will KILL you for this!”
As Miyuki choked, she said, “Oi… if mother finds out.. She’ll have your head…”
Yuki suddenly snapped out of vampire mode. Fear filled her mind at the thought of her mother. She let go of Miyuki, making her fall and catch her breath. Not knowing what was going on, and not wanting to stay any longer, Rena grabbed Yuki and the two started running from the scene. Rena held the fresh bite wound to stop the bleeding as the two finally reached the group.
“Rena-chan!”
“Rena!”
Jurina immediately went to Rena, hugging her. Everyone was worried about her bite wound. But Sae broke away as she noticed Yuki seemed deathly scared about something.
“Yukirin, what’s wrong?” she asked worriedly.
“N-nothing…” Yuki pulled away.
“Yuki--?” Sae tried to reach out, but Yuki ran away.
“What happened?” Takamina asked cleaning Rena wound.
“A Royal vampire attacked us and tried to bite me, but thankfully Yuki arrived and saved me.” Rena explained.
“I’m glad you are okay,” Takamina said wrapping the bandage on Rena neck.
“You guys take the day off and take rest.” Yuko said.
“Okay.” Rena whispered staring out the window.
She thought of Yuki and how she got angry when Milky hurt her. She didn’t understand why she suddenly snapped and she was so protective of her. She is a vampire, she’s supposed to hate her. Yet, lately, she felt as if the vampire was hurting. As if something bigger was going on that she didn’t know about. She didn’t know if Yuki wanted to change and become a good person.
Half an hour later, Takamina arrived at Rena’s home. Since Jurina still had training to do, she would stay at the agency.
“Rena-chan, take care.” Sae said as Rena got out the car and said goodbye to them.
Rena walked into the empty home and collapsed on the couch, tired from all that had happened today. Rena shut her eyes, wanting to rest and try and forget about all that was happening.
Her mind drifted into slumber and she soon entered a dream. It was the same dream where she could hear someone humming a lullaby. In the cold air, she felt a pair of arms embracing her and giving her warmth.
“Snow.. angel…” Rena murmured. “Who are you.. Snow angel..?”
“I’m sorry… Rena.”
“Snow angel..?”Suddenly, the dream changed. She was seeing the vampire who murdered her parents. She saw her parents’ bodies lying on the floor covered with blood. The vampire approached her with eyes filled with bloodlust.
“Don’t worry, child. You’ll reunite with your parents soon~”
“No! No! Go away!”
“Rena-chan!” Rena looked down and saw Jurina holding her, shaking in fear.
“I’ll put you both out of your misery!”
“NO!!!”
“Rena!”“NO!!!!” Rena jolted up from her slumber, panting and shaking hard. Looking around the room, she find herself still on the couch. Taking a deep breath, she relaxed herself and laid back down.
Then, she heard some noise coming from her room.
“Did Jurina come back?” she thought standing up and walking toward her room. “Jurina?”
She opened the door and was surprised to see Yuki sitting in her bed staring at Rena pictures.
“Y-Yuki?!” Rena walked towards the vampire, grabbing her pictures out of her hands. “Why are you here?! How did you even get in my room?!”
“The window,” Yuki said nonchalantly.
“That gives you no excuse to come in and go through my things! That’s invasion of privacy!”
“..I’m sorry…” Yuki said softly.
“Now, answer me. Why are you here?”
“I-I…”
Rena then noticed that Yuki seemed to be terribly frightened. She knew she was acting strange after the fight with Miyuki, but she didn’t know why.
“I don’t know what’s going on in your personal life… But what I do want to know is this.. Why are you protecting me? Why did you join hunter agency in the first place? Was it really all for me?”
Yuki looked at Rena eyes. Ignoring her answer, she stood up and reached her hand out, touching the bandage. She caressed her neck, gently taking the bandage off.
“W-What are you doing?” Rena asked confusedly.
Yuki removed the bandage and caressed the wound, sending a shiver through Rena body. Yuki leaned forward and kissed Rena neck. The girl breathed in sharply. She tries to push Yuki away, but Yuki licked and sucked her wound, tasting her blood with her tongue.
“S-stop..!”
“Hold still,” Yuki breathed, sending a chill down Rena’s spine. The vampire continued to lick the wound until it was completely healed.
She pulled away and saw Rena breathing heavily.
“I accept your offer,” Yuki whispered.
“Huh?’
“Our pact. The offer you made of me not betraying all of you in exchange for your blood. I will do it.”
“Seriously?”
Yuki gave her a serious glance. “I won’t let any of them touch you. I’ll become your protector.”
“P-protector…?” Rena slightly blushed.
“Yes, I will kill all of them for you.” Yuki said reaching hand caressing Rena cheeks.
“Why? Why do you want to protect me?” Rena asked pushed Yuki hand away.
“I don’t know myself!” Yuki said holding Rena hand and rubbing it gently. “I just.. Always felt.. I needed to protect you.. Since that moment…”
“Eh?”
“I feel almost as if.. you are mine.”
“What?! Yuki, are you drunk?! What’s wrong with you?!” Rena take her hand away from Yuki’s.
“I don’t know… I feel like I’m crazy…” Yuki held her head. “All I know is.. I can’t go back. The Royals know I betrayed them.. They will surely come for me, and you as well… And what’s worse, now Mother, too, will have my head…”
“This is all because of me?! Why?! We aren’t friends! You are vampire, my enemy!”
“If I’m your enemy, why haven’t you killed me yet? Why do you want to give me your blood if I’m your enemy?” Yuki asked staring in Rena eyes deeply.
“Maybe same as you… Maybe I’m crazy… Besides.. You’re trying to redeem yourself, right? Is that why you’re doing all this? To redeem yourself… for me?”
Yuki inched closer to her, causing Rena step backwards.
“I’m not redeeming myself… I’m protecting you… I killed Endou because of you… I hurt my sister because of you… I fight with vampires because of--”
“Enough!” Rena stopped her, but Yuki pinned her to the wall, hugging her and nuzzling her neck.
“Even if I have to die… I’ll do it for your sake. Even if it’s by your hands.” Rena felt sharp pain in her heart hearing those word from Yuki mouth. She didn’t understand what was going through her mind right now.
She felt as if.. She didn’t want to kill Yuki… She
couldn’t kill her.
“Yuki…”
Just then, Rena felt a sharp pain at her neck as the vampire bit into her.
“Miyuki was right…” Yuki spoke. “Your blood is too delicious… I can’t waste it…”
The pain slowly turned into pleasure, Rena wrapped her hand around Yuki’s neck. Rena unconsciously moaned as the vampire fed on her blood.
“You have no idea how much it hurt me watching Miyuki drink your blood.” Yuki said after taking her fangs out and licking the wound. Rena didn’t say anything and laid her head on Yuki’s shoulder, inhaling her scent.
“So.. tired…” Rena breathed out. She really went through a load of shit for one day.
Yuki lead Rena back to the bed and laid her down, letting the girl’s head rest on her lap.
“Sleep. You deserve it.”
As Rena drifted into sleep, a thought entered her mind. Something about this moment.. felt so familiar.
“Why is it.. so warm..?”-------------------------
Jurina arrived back at her home that night and noticed the house was quiet and still.
“Rena-chan?” she called out for her sister. “Maybe she is sleeping.”
Jurina walked upstairs to her room and peeked through the door. She was shocked to see Yuki sitting at Rena’s bedside, caressing Rena’s head as her sister slept soundly.
Her eyes filled with anger.
“Vampire..! Don’t touch my sister..!”Yuki’s ear twitched and she looked to see Jurina standing at the other side of the door. She quietly walked over and stepped outside, facing Jurina as she gently shut the door.
“Why are you in here, vampire?” Jurina said as she grabbed her silver knife.
“Please, let me explain--” Yuki tried to say, until Jurina’s knife blade slashed her cheek slightly. Yuki touched her cheeks feeling blood in her hand and licked it.
“I don’t care why you’re here. This time, I will kill you.”
“My hands aren’t broken either. I can kill you with one move, but I won’t since you are Rena’s sister.”
“Huh? That’s an odd excuse.”
“I mean it. I won’t hurt you.”
“Oh yeah. Well I will,” she said before slashing her knife. Yuki dodged with her inhuman speed. The young hunter growled. “Let’s do this outside. I wouldn’t want to break something or leave blood stains. Rena-chan would get mad.”
Yuki only scowled. “Fine,” she said before disappearing.
Jurina quickly ran outside and found Yuki on the roof of another building.
“Catch me if you can!” Yuki said as she ran off, jumping from building to building.
“That’s unfair!”
Jurina ran after Yuki’s flying shadow. She took her silver gun out and shoot towards the vampire, however, missing each time.
“Damn it!!” she hissed angrily.
“Nice try.” Yuki smirked as she flew further away.
Jurina got frustrated and keep shooting until she run out of bullets. She pulled out a stun grenade and launched it towards the vampire. It exploded and made Yuki fall to the ground. Jurina faced the vampire and backed her into a corner.
“Nowhere for you to run now…” Jurina smirked as she pulled out her knife. “This is the end of you!”
“Jurina.. Stop…” Yuki said hissing in pain.
Ignoring her, Jurina sit closer to Yuki and stabbed the silver dagger in her arm causing her to scream in pain.
“I will torture you before killing you. You deserve it. How dare you try to touch my sister?!”
“Argh.. please… stop..!”
“No! I won’t ever forgive you vampires! You’re all monsters! Killers! And you, you’re the most unforgivable! Now I’ll finally get rid of you, right here and now!”
Yuki try to heal herself and get up, but the silver was making her body weak. Jurina raised the knife, preparing to stab her heart.
“DIE!!!”
“Jurina!” A voice rose, making Jurina freeze.
She slowly turned her head and saw Rena standing there, looking shocked.
“Rena.. chan..?”
“Jurina, what are you doing?!”
“I-I…”
Rena eyes widened as she saw injured Yuki lying on the ground. Rena ran toward her and hold her body in her arms.
“Yuki! Are you okay?” she brushed Yuki hair off her face.
“Rena…” Yuki made a pained expression. “S-silver.. Knife…”
“Why..?”
Rena turned around to her younger sister. She saw Jurina had an angered face.
“Get away from that monster, Rena-chan! Let me kill her!”
Yuki coughed the blood out and gasped for air. The silver had entered her bloodstreams and now hurting her organs.
“Yuki hold on, don’t give up!” Rena shake her body.
Jurina got tired and pushed her sister away forcefully.
“I’ll end this vampire’s life!” she said as she raised the knife.
“Jurina, no!”
*CRASH*“..!” Jurina stopped, her eyes widened as a crash of thunder entered her ears. Cold rain started falling as lightning flashed and thunder roared.
She dropped the knife, her body slowly falling to the ground. She screamed and covered her ears. Rena quickly stand up and throw her jacket at Jurina, covering her body. She sat Jurina in the corner and run toward Yuki. She quickly cut her wrist with piece of the broken glass and raised it to Yuki’s lips.
“Hurry, drink it. You need blood to heal, right? Hurry!”
Yuki weakly started sucking Rena’s wrist, lapping on her blood with her tongue.
“Y-you’re.. Going to.. Lose blood…” Yuki said softly.
“I’ll be fine…”
“No…”
Yuki leaned forward and bit her finger, making it bleed.
“Here…” she offered to Rena.
“What..?” Rena was confused as the vampire put her bloody finger in front of her.
“Don’t worry.. This won’t turn you into vampire… Drink.. So you won’t develop anemia…”
Hesitant at first, Rena took the vampire’s finger and sucked her blood. At first, it felt sour and had copper taste, but slowly, it tasted sweet. Without realizing, Rena suck on her finger like a baby. The wound on her wrist healed and she felt her strength come back.
But she wasn’t ready to let Yuki finger go, Yuki tried to take her finger back but Rena tightened her grip.
“Rena that’s enough! Don’t drink much.” Rena shook her head not letting to go. She then chuckled, “Then you will become like a vampire.”
Rena stopped drinking, but did not let Yuki’s finger go. Yuki stared at Rena confused.
“S-sorry…” Rena stuttered, slightly blushing. “But I was worried.. All I could think about was you.”
Yuki sighed and stroked the girl’s head. “It’s fine…”
Rena pursed her lips, touching them as she felt the lingering taste of the vampire’s blood.
“Do you care about me?” Yuki then asked. Rena stared at her Yuki thinking for answer.
“Honestly… maybe.”
Yuki felt her heart skip a moment. “What..? Is it true..? She cares for me..?”
“We should go back before we get sick.” She said picking Jurina and walked toward her home. “What’s happening to me?”
“Will she be okay?” the vampire asked.
“Yeah.. let’s just say, due to your kind, she has traumatic memories. Thunder triggers it. I can calm her down.”
“Okay. Good night.”
“Good night…”
Rena left and carried her sister into the house. She felt Jurina shaking as she walked her to her room and got her changed out of the wet clothes.
“I’ve never seen this side of you, Jurina… It shocked me. I always knew you as my cute, innocent little sister… When did you change?”
Jurina didn’t answer, not facing her sister as tears stained her cheeks.
“You changed, too, Rena-chan.. becoming friend with the enemy.” Jurina said shivering.
“Yuki is doing this for good reason. She is protecting me from the vampires.”
“You think she is helping? She has to be using you, Rena-chan.”
“She’s not,” Rena said firmly. “I saw her eyes. She is sincere.”
“You are spelled by that bitch.” Jurina yelled angrily. “She’s brainwashed you!”
“Jurina, that’s enough,” Rena looked at her sister. “I don’t know when you started behaving like this or why, but I need you to listen to me now… Yuki is good. I sincerely believe it now. She’s probably harboring a lot on her side.. She may even be afraid…”
“But..”
“But nothing. For whatever reason, this is what she has chosen. She’s chosen to fight against her own kind.”
Jurina looked down on the floor.
“I’m sorry I caused a lot of troubles.”
“It’s okay, I forgive you.” Rena smiled ruffling Jurina hair. “Now let’s get to bed, shall we?”
As the storm raged on, Jurina looked outside, clinging to her sister.
“Can I sleep with you tonight..?”
“Of course…”
Not known by the two, Yuki was outside listening to the whole conversation. She stared at the two sisters with a soft smile as she saw Rena and Jurina lay in bed.
As Jurina laid her head against her sister’s chest, Rena stroked her hair and started singing a lullaby.
“Close your eyes, lay your head down
Now it’s time to sleep
May you find great adventure
As you lie and dream
If you’re scared of the darkness
I will calm your fear
There’s a light in the hallway
So you know I’m here
So count your blessings every day
It makes the monsters go away
And everything will be okay
You are not alone, you are right at home
Good night
You won’t need me forever
But I’ll still be here
For we all have our nightmares
Even me, my dear
From now on, if you need me
You can sing this song
There’s a light in the hallway
Burning all night long
So count your blessings every day
It makes the monsters go away
And everything will be okay
You are not alone, you are right at home
Good night…”Jurina slept peacefully in her sister’s embrace, forgetting the storm and the memories that came with it. Rena kissed her sister’s forehead and slowly shut her eyes, falling asleep next to her.
Seeing that all was peaceful, Yuki left in the pouring rain, flying back to her house.
