[Tsubaki]

Ah, I hate this.

I fixed my hair with my right hand, while the other is holding this woman up. Walang buhay ang mga mata ko nang malipat 'to sa kaniya.

Struggling, trying to remove my hand on her neck while she's above the floor.

What a waste. She even killed Narume, my favorite play thing.

I glanced at her eyes, long lashes, thick and neat brows, to her pointed nose, natural blushed cheeks, thin lips with red lipstick. I glanced at her perfect and narrowed neck, her perfect body. And of course. . . 

My eyes went up. A face of a different woman popped in my mind.

Her beautiful ash gray hair.

It's really a shame. 

It has been decades but I'm still mesmerized with her hair. Iyon ang rason kung bakit ko pinalalagpas ang mga kalokohan na ginagawa niya, pero sinasayang niya masyado ang espesyal na atensyon na binibigay ko sa kaniya.

"My, my, my Kira," I said with a soft and smoothing voice. "It's really a shame that everything will turn out this way." 

She still kept trying to fight back, but there's no avail.

"Why do you keep disobeying me, darling? I was very kind to you." I sounded sincere, at the same time, hurt.

"I let you roam around, I even let you do your thing with humans. We have different ways of thinking, but I respected you." 

I was planning to keep you here in Akumajō, but I am different from him. So I let you go. Even though I badly want to keep you by my side.

"You're really my favorite, I gave you special treatments. Even my first Eve didn't get this kind of attention, she was very jealous of you, you know? So why?" Inilapit ko ang mukha ko sa kaniya. "Bakit mo kinailangang abusuhin ang kabaitan ko?"

I kept asking, even though I know that she won't be able to answer with my grip on her throat. But still.

I let out a sigh, disappointed. "Still, this is the last straw. I really don't want to do this." Tumulis ang mga kuko ko sa kabila kong kamay, inisa-isa kong ginalaw ang mga daliri ko. "But I still have dignity, love."

I gave her a smile. A soft and innocent one, full of pure love. I gave her a peck kiss on the cheek.

"Good bye, KMoirthera."

I penetrate her chest with my hand, full of force. Nabasa ang kamao ko ng pulang likido. Kira started vomiting blood, she screamed in pain. I was planning to end her suffering fast, push my hand more and make my way up to her head to cut her in half, but then I felt a glimpse, just a glimpse of bloodlust— and my body suddenly stopped.

Its just seconds, or even shorter than a second when I turn my head at my right side. And just like that, I felt a light impact, still, it made me move.

Mabilis ang pangyayari, napagtanto ko na lang na nausog na 'ko ng ilang talampakan mula sa pwesto ko. I was surprised, damn surprised. My face is bland with just my eyes slightly widened. But my expression faltered.

What. . . the fuck?

I still can't process what just happened, I'm dumbfounded. 

Did I. . . just got pushed back?

Napunta ang tingin ko sa posisyon ko kani-kanina lang. For some reason, my eyes didn't adjust fast. Una kong nakita ang katawan ni Kira na namimilipit at sumusuka ng dugo. Next to her is-

Huh?

My eyes went from her toes to her head.

Is that. . . Tsukoyo?

Hindi maayos ang tayo niya, buhaghag ang buhok. Her red and black kimono is covered with her blood, but I can't see her injury.

Did she do that to me? Even after those injuries?

My head was filled with questions, for this is the first time in centuries that this happened to me.

I smashed her head, dozens of times. Even a high ranking vampire will have a hard time moving after that.

Forget pushing me, how can she still stand?-

Eh?

As I stare at her, my eyes went to the thing she's holding. Her katana.

I felt the wind pass by, as I slowly look at myself. I raised my arms, but I didn't see anything.

Both of my hands are missing.

There, I saw it again. On the floor, both of my hands, slowly perishing.

There was a sudden silence, my mind is processing this unfamiliar emotion, unfamiliar experience, still looking at her. 

The moment she faced me and our eyes met, a realization hit me. I burst out laughing. Umalingawngaw ang boses ko sa buong silid, ang pagtawa ko. Both of my hands regenerated in a snap, and I covered my face as I laugh.

Her piercing look with her crimson red eyes, her expressionless face but filled with emotions! 

I laughed so loud and hard.

She! She's really trying to kill me now! She badly wants my head!

"YOU'RE REALLY AN INTERESTING VAMPIRE!" I said. For a very long time, I felt something other than lust and pleasure. I'm very amused, excited, not because of sex, not because of food, but because of her!

I didn't think that I'll be more turned on when a beauty is aiming for my neck.

I smirked menacingly. I already know it now. I understand it.

My eyes are lock on her as she started to move towards me, my grin is getting wide.

Why you're special. Why you're so different.

Despite being a vampire like us. Despite being a hunter like humans. You're still different.

Kusang gumalaw ang kamay ko para abutin ang isa sa mga katanang nakasabit sa pader, malapit lang sa 'kin. A black with a dragon crest, an emperor katana.

I slowly unsheathed my katana. She's getting closer to me.

"Now, entertain me well!!" I feel the excitement all over my body. I glared at her, still have a grin on my face.

Really special. Indeed, I haven't experienced this for a long time, this unfamiliar feeling.

A one of a kind. "You Project!!!"
