"Huh? What the hell?" Matsuri asked
"Yeah I know" Nitski said
"Those other vampires have claimed their territory" Juhin said
"Yep. I can see that" Matsuri said and looked at the forest with vampire bats glaring at them
"Hello I'm-ahh!" Nitski jumped in Juhin's arms
"What the fuck?" Juhin said before dropping his sister
"Ow!" Nitski groaned
"Excuse me...are you the vampires that keep scaring off our people?" Matsuri asked as she stepped forward. The vampire only growled as they shifted back to normal
"You're the little vampire that caused the humans to look for us" The vampire said
"Little? Fuck you" Matsuri growled
"Hey calm your ass down" Juhin said as he patted her head
"Uh we're actually here because we were wondering if you would like to join forces" Nitski said
"Create an alliance with the enemy? Hell no!" The vampire said
"Hey we have plenty of resources to share with your crew. We just want to talk about your hunting pack. We're trying to keep our humans safe " Matsuri said
"What?! You're even calling them your humans?" The vampire asked
"We won't fucking allow a pip squeak to tell us what to do or lead us" The vampire growled
"If you want us to listen then you better defeat all of us" The vampire hissed
"Does everything have to result to violence?" Nitski asked
"Well that's how vampires are..." Matsuri said and got tackled by one of the vampires
"Matsuri!" Nitski said and got attacked by another vampire
"Ah shit. We're really doing this" Juhin said and blocked one of the vampire's attack. Ten more vampires showed up from the trees as they flew out to attack as well
"We didn't came here to fight" Matsuri said before kicking the vampires face
"And we won't listen to a traitor!" The vampire said and used his claws
"You know it's getting a bit late and I should get home" Matsuri said dodging the attacks and ducked down before kicking his legs
"Ow!" The vampire said. Matsuri looked up seeing the rest of the vampires looking at her
"Listen I just want to say that-" Her eyes widened as the vampire flew at her kicking her face
"This is pissing me off..." Matsuri said before grabbing the vampire's leg then threw him outside in the sunlight
"Augh!" The vampire yelled in pain and whimpered
"Who's next?" Matsuri asked as she smiled
"Are you sure you want to be friends with these vampires?" Nitski asked as she punched them across the face
"They won't listen" Juhin said as he threw the vampire against the tree trunk
"Haah...I'll make them listen one way or another" Matsuri growled before grabbing the vampire then pinned him down
"For the last time. Will you let us talk?" Matsuri asked as she kept a tight grip on the vampire
"Fuck you!" The vampire hissed and the rest of the vampires flew at her. Matsuri got tackled by the vampires and soon her body shifted
"Do you have any idea...who you're fucking with?" Matsuri asked and soon punched the vampires off of her. The vampires all trembled but kept going after Matsuri. A smirk formed on her lips and clawed the vampire's face then bit down on their arm breaking them
"Agh!"
"Aaaah!"
"Urgh!"
Matsuri smiled as blood dripped from her fangs and wiped her mouth
"I'll never lose...because everyone else are weak!" Matsuri said before grabbing a vampire pinning him down. She grabbed his arm twisting it then tugged on it hard
"AAAAAHHH!" The vampire cried in pain and heard a crack
Sh-she is tearing my arm off!?
The vampires trembled as the Queen was breaking off their boss's arm
"Just one last pull an-"
"YOU WIN! FINE! STOP! STOP!" The vampire cried as he trembled but Matsuri didn't stop there. She only laughed as she tried tearing it off
"I SURRENDER!" The vampire cried
"Matsuri!" Nitski said. The Queen stopped and soon Matsuri trembled before getting off of him
"Hngh!" Matsuri growled and whimpered as she grabbed her head
"Uh Matsuri?" Nitski asked. Shadows surrounded Matsuri as she struggled to move
"Juhin!" Nitski said
"On it!" Juhin said. The two Mizusawas ended up pulling out a bright light and threw it at the vampire. Matsuri hissed in pain but soon her body shifted back to normal
"Matsuri? Is everything okay?" Nitski asked
"I-I'm...fine..." Matsuri said and shook her head
"Nitski, help him out" Matsuri said
"Sure" Nitski said as she pulled out a bag and held out a small powder
"Anyways now that I have your attention. Let's talk" Matsuri said
"Why do you want to help us?" A woman asked as she hung upside down
"Because I'm a caring person. Anyways like I said we have a bunch of resources" Matsuri said
"There. It's attached again" Nitski said as she stood up. The vampire only trembled slightly as he started to move his arm again
"Huh? It healed instantly?" The vampire asked
"We crushed the gems turning them into powder. It took a bunch of time to dig down" Nitski said
"We just want to be friends and get along. We have plenty of blood stored in our Kingdom" Juhin said
"But what about the vampire hunters? Won't they hunt us down?" The vampire asked
"Relax. We keep our vampires protected. Our Kingdom has been expanding and we have a few alliances around the area. We heard a few humans talking about some attacks though..." Matsuri said
"We were only keeping our people safe" The woman said as she walked up to her
"And there is nothing wrong with that but...next time please don't hurt our people" Matsuri said
"We'll think about this offer of yours..." The vampire said as he rubbed his shoulder
"Alright and forgive me for almost tearing your arm off. I just needed something to get your attention" Matsuri said
"Well you definitely caught my attention. For someone who lost half their power is able to take some strong hits. That Queen form of yours is quite strong too..." The vampire said
"Meh...I'm used to the pain" Matsuri said as she shrugged and spread her wings
"If you finally made up your mind then come visit us. I'm always free" Matsuri said before she flew away along with her cousins who were behind her
"Are we going to let them join us?" Nitski asked
"We have to. We must keep the peace between vampire and human. Now that witches have been wiped out and other creatures then I guess they're all concerned. Some are just out for revenge" Matsuri said
"Yeah you're right but nothing has happened" Nitski said
"Yet" Juhin said
"And what about your Queen form?" Nitski asked
"Shut up" Matsuri said
"What are you so afraid?" Nitski asked
"Nothing..." Matsuri said
"Then why do you keep avoiding your Queen form? You know one day you'll grow up fully into an adult and...become your Queen form" Nitski said
"Haah...I'm just scared...turning into him" Matsuri said
"Your father?" Juhin asked
"...yeah...you know all the shit I had to go through as a kid? I'm just scared...I will become a monster like him..." Matsuri said
"Don't worry Matsuri. You have us and your big family" Nitski said
"So if you need any help you can always come and talk to us" Juhin said
"Thanks..." Matsuri said as she smiled a little

"Woah! This castle is huge! I've never been inside the castle before..." Eiichi said as he looked around
"Would you...like to see my room?" Sachie asked
"Hm? Sure" Eiichi said as he nodded
"Be careful though. Don't try to cause a mess" Mitsuko said
"Mm" Sachie said and grabbed Eiichi taking him to her room. Eiichi only looked at the walls admiring the designs
This place looks amazing...all these walls look pretty
"We're here..." Sachie said as she opened the door for him
"Wow! It's huge!" Eiichi said and stepped inside. Sachie only closed the door behind her and smiled a little
"It's a little dark in here. Guess it's because of your condition" Eiichi said
"Mhm" Sachie said
"Do you have night vision?" Eiichi asked
"My right eye..." Sachie said
"Right. Because the other side is a witch. That's cool. It must feel amazing to be in a castle..." Eiichi said and stared at the closet
"Not really...I feel trapped an-Eiichi?" Sachie asked
"Ah sorry...I-I was distracted. Uh...do you like wearing dresses?" Eiichi asked
"Hm? No...it bothers me. Sometimes I wear some for special occasions..." Sachie said
"They look..pretty" Eiichi said and smiled at her
"You like colors?" Sachie asked
"Yeah...they're really beautiful and I like the design. I saw a few hair clips in the village that I want but...uhh...my mom will get mad" Eiichi said as he looked away
"Your mom doesn't like you to wear those?" Sachie asked
"No...she thinks it's not okay for me to wear this or like the color pink. She says I should be a guy and do what guys do like...play instead of wearing hair clips. Dad is actually okay with it but...doesn't know what mom and brother are doing to me" Eiichi said as he grabbed the hair clip from his hair and sat down on her bed
"...you should be honest and tell him. Your brother shouldn't be hurting you or telling you it's wrong..." Sachie said as she sat next to him
"...is it weird for me to like...girl things?" Eiichi asked
"No...not at all. You're my best friend and Eiichi...it's okay to like whatever you want. There is nothing wrong with that..." Sachie said as she smiled softly. Eiichi only teared up and trembled
"U-uh...did I say something wr-wrong?" Sachie asked
"N-no sorry...i-it's just...you're so amazing Sachie! You really are a true friend!" Eiichi cried. Sachie only jumped as she trembled a bit
What should I do to make him stop crying?
Sachie's palm glowed and created a small pup that jumped onto Eiichi's lap. Eiichi jumped and looked down at the pup
"Cute" Eiichi said and held the pup. Sachie only sighed in relief and laid down before creating small stars on her ceiling. Eiichi looked up seeing the stars and laid down watching the stars slowly change colors
"It's so beautiful..." Eiichi said
"Mm" Sachie said
"Hey Sachie..." Eiichi said
"Hm?" Sachie asked
"I just want to say...that no matter what happens...we'll be best friends. You helping me...and me helping you" Eiichi said and smiled brightly. Sachie only smiled a little as she blushed
He isn't scared...nor running away...he actually wants to be my friend. Wow...I wish...there were more like him...who I can be friends with
"Hey! Let's have fun at the lake nearby my farm. It's safe since I've been there before and we could watch the cute fishes there. I found a baby bird one time and..." Sachie only kept listening to him as she kept her small smile
He is so talkative...he is sweet
"Oh also we could-"
"Gngh!" Sachie groaned as she covered her right eye and trembled. Eiichi turned to look at her and grabbed her shoulders
"Sachie? Are you oka-" Sachie pushed him and drool began to drip from her mouth as she gritted her teeth
"L-leave...please!" Sachie said
"Don't worry Sachie! I will help you!" Eiichi said before he ran out of the room on time. Sachie panted heavily and laid down on the bed clenching her blankets tightly
"Queen! Queen!" Eiichi called out as he ran through the hallway and found the Queen speaking with Maruta. Mitsuko lifted her head and looked at the panicking got which got her worried
"What is-"
"S-sachie is hurt! Sh-she is hurt!" Eiichi said
"Maruta stay with Asuka please" Mitsuko said as handed Asuka to Maruta. Asuka whined a bit as her mother left. Mitsuko arrived at the dark room and sensed the magic coming from Sachie's body
"Sachie" Mitsuko said. Sachie's eyes widened and created a barrier keeping her mother away
"I-I don't want you!" Sachie said
"S-sachie...I want to help you" Mitsuko said as she tried to step inside but Sachie kept her spell on keeping her away
"I said I don't want you here! Leave me alone! Now!" Sachie said as she grabbed her right side of her head while shaking
"Sachie! Please!" Mitsuko said but Sachie hissed before attacking her mother. Mitsuko's eyes widened and dodged the attack
"S-sachie....please just let me in. I-I want to help you. It's me...your mother" Mitsuko said
"Fucking get out!" Sachie said and attacked one more with her witch powers creating a powerful aura. Mitsuko ducked and the aura broke through the castle wall
"Sachie!" Matsuri said as she arrived and got through the hole in the wall. She immediately stepped in the room and Sachie trembled
"M-mom...help...m-me" Sachie whimpered as she trembled while clenching her hair tightly. Matsuri walked up to her and hugged her tightly
"Shhh...it's okay. Sachie...calm down...take deep breaths" Matsuri said as she stroked her hair softly. Sachie clenched onto her mother tightly and trembled a bit
"O-one...two...th-three..." Sachie mumbled as her right eye began to turn back to normal and cried softly. Mitsuko only trembled as her heart ached
"Shhh....it's okay Sachie. It's okay..." Matsuri said. Sachie sniffed and soon she pulled away from Matsuri and whimpered
"Sachie?" Matsuri asked. Sachie teared up again and got out of bed
"Mama!" Sachie cried as she ran up to Mitsuko. Mitsuko's eyes widened and soon kneeled down as she hugged Sachie tightly. Sachie hugged her back and buried her face against her shoulder
"I-I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Sachie cried as tears streamed down her cheeks
I-I tried hurting mama...no!
"It's okay Sachie...it's not your fault okay? I'm still here...mama is here for you. I still love you..." Mitsuko said as she teared up and stood up carrying Sachie. Sachie sniffed and trembled as she held onto her mother tightly
"It'll be okay Sachie. We're here for you" Matsuri said as she ruffled her hair. Sachie sniffed and closed her eyes
...i-it's okay...right? R-right?
