~Time Skip, One Year Later, Third Person POV~

(Y/N) opened her eyes with a groan, sitting up in the dark cell she had grown familiar with. Well f*ck. What woke me up? She thought to herself. She turned and saw someone being tossed in the cell with her instead of the usual visit from the red headed vampire king. The guard locked the cell up behind him and left with a grumble. The girl that was tossed in sat up, rubbing her head. Her eyes landed on (Y/N) and she started tearing up. (Y/N) recognized the girl immediately and her eyes widened. It was Kayano. Kayano opened her mouth, about to say something but (Y/N) ran over and covered her mouth with her hands. Shaking her head. Kayano gave her a look of confusion. (Y/N) pulled her hands away and started using sign language. 'No talking. You can only talk if Karma directly addresses you. Otherwise it's to the labyrinth.' She signed. Kayano gave her another look of confusion before moving her hands in sign language as well. 'What's the labyrinth?' She signed. (Y/N) growled a little to herself. 'A d*mn sadistic maze made by the red headed vampire king himself. When prisoners try to escape or disobey the vampires they get thrown in the labyrinth and Karma decides what difficulty to put it on. It's full of many different kinds of traps and puzzles. But whoever makes it to the end can go free. Of course, no one has done it before. He's a d*mn sadist alright, but he's a genius too. I'll admit that if he wasn't the one keeping me locked up here I'd be impressed.' (Y/N) signed. Kayano nodded. 'Got it. How do you know all this? I noticed there aren't many prisons around here. How do you hear the gossip?' Kayano signed. (Y/N) shook her head. 'I don't. Karma himself likes to brag about it to me. He visits about once a week, sometimes more. Either asking me questions or to just randomly talk about some random subject. It's different every time. On occasion he even tries to get me to play guessing games with him. Hell he even tried to get me to play Uno with him once. It's madness Kayano. Pure madness!' She signaled. 'What I find even more odd was how relieved him seemed when I woke up. Apparently I've been in a coma for a while since the Scarlet Night. Which reminds me, how long has it been since then? How long have I been trapped here? I know since I woke up it's been a few months or so, but outside of that I have no idea how long I was out for.' She added. Before Kayano could respond they both heard the tapping of shoes. (Y/N) sighed a little as the red headed vampire king appeared in front of the cell door. (Y/N) leaned back on the wall and crossed her arms with a smirk. "Well, well, speak of the devil and he shall appear. To what do I owe the honer of this visit your highness?" (Y/N) questioned. 

Karma snickered a little placing a hand over his chest. "Your words wound me as always (Y/N). Do I need a reason to visit my favorite human?" He questioned. (Y/N) raised an eyebrow, still smirking. "Well I mean when you're the King of Blood Moon Castle and all the vampires that dwell inside I'd assume you'd have something better to do than to talk to a lowly human such as myself. I mean you sit here for quite the while just chatting with me until you get tired or pulled away. It does make one suspicious." She said. "Are you trying to distract me with pointless banter?" Karma questioned. "Perhaps, perhaps. Or maybe I'm just seeing if I can outwit the Vampire King. Not like I have anything better to be doing." (Y/N) stated. "Which reminds me, didn't you visit me yesterday? Another reason I was asking." She added. Karma chuckled. "I thought by this point you wouldn't try keeping tabs on time." He said. "Oh please. It was yesterday Crimson. I think I'd remember something recent." (Y/N) said with her classic eye roll. Karma stuck his tongue out at her. "Why do you still refuse to call me Karma?" He questioned. "Why do you still refuse to call me (L/N) or human?" The female countered. Kayano looked from the vampire king to her friend in confusion. "I'm sorry the f*ck?" She questioned. (Y/N) shot her a smirk. "As explained earlier my dear, sweet Kayano. Madness." She said. Kayano reached over, grabbing (Y/N)'s shoulders and shaking the female around. "DO THEY NOT DRINK YOUR BLOOD OR SOMETHING!? WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO THEIR KING LIKE YOU TWO KNOW EACHOTHER!?" Kayano shouted. (Y/N) grabbed Kayano's hands and pulled them away from her shoulders. "Okay, calm down. One, he visits me all the f*cking time, as explained earlier. I'd rather suck it up and talk to him instead of going insane. Besides, I can never be sarcastic around anyone without them taking it personally. In case you're forgetting the incident the last time you people dragged me to party. Two, surprisingly no. They don't drink my blood. Do you see bite marks on my neck Kayano? Which is highly surprising because of my black blood." (Y/N) explained. Kayano's eyes widened. "Wait, your blood is black?" She questioned. (Y/N) facepalmed. "Kayano you're an idiot. Of course my blood is black! I f*cking blush black how do you not know this!?" She shouted. "SINCE WHEN DO YOU BLUSH (Y/N)!? Since when have you ever blushed Mrs. I've Never Had Any Interest In Finding A Boyfriend For Sixteen F*cking Years!?" Kayano shouted back. "A couple of days ago." (Y/N) stated calmly. "Eh?" Kayano questioned. (Y/N) jabbed a thumb over at Karma who just smirked and stuck his tongue out again. "That a*shole thought it'd be...quote unquote, 'cute', to see a girl with black blood blush." She explained, rolling her eyes. "All I had to do was call her cute." Karma pipped up. "NO YOU DIDN'T A*SHOLE!" (Y/N) shouted, cheeks flushing black. "You're doing it right now." Karma said while sweat dropping. They both heard a noise and turned to look at Kayano who was starting to tear up. "Whoa, are you alright? Are you hurt or something?" (Y/N) asked, reaching out a hand to comfort the green haired girl only to be enveloped in a tight hug. "I've missed you." Kayano said, sniffling back a few sobs. (Y/N), having not been hugged often in her life, flinched a little at the sudden contact. "Um...K-Kayano...Physical contact." (Y/N) said, trying to push the girl off of her. "SHUT UP YOU ANTI-SOCIAL OVERLY SERIOUS A*SHOLE! YOU'VE BEEN GONE FOR A YEAR AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD BECAUSE OF ME!" Kayano screamed, hugging her tighter. 

(Y/N) was frozen for a minute. An...an entire year? She thought in confusion. She shot a look over at Karma who shrugged. "You were in a coma for a while. And you never asked me how much time had passed." He pointed out. Kayano pulled away and tears continued to fall. "We-we all got out of the f-forest alright, th-thanks to you. But-but when Koro-sensei and K-Karasuma returned they said-they said that you were-were." She trailed off, starting to cry again. "They said she was dead, didn't they?" Karma questioned. Kayano nodded, burying her head in (Y/N)'s shoulder. "Why would they do that?" (Y/N) questioned, shooting another look at Karma. He hummed to himself, closing his eyes. "Well I can think of plenty reasons. But the most likely is that they assumed no matter what you'd end up dead either way. And they didn't want any of your friends to try and save you and getting themselves killed in the process. Therefore making your 'sacrifice' in vain." He said, using air quotes. He shot a look at the crying Kayano on (Y/N)'s shoulder and sighed. "I'll give you two a minute." He said. Karma then left the cells and went back to whatever it was Vampire Kings do. Kayano then shot a look around the cell. "Is he gone?" She questioned. (Y/N) shot her a look as she sat up and wiped her eyes. Kayano smirked a little, holding up a hair pin and gesturing to the lock on the cell. (Y/N)'s eyes widened as she shook her head violently. Kayano nodded, grabbing (Y/N)'s wrist and tugging the girl to her feet. Kayano open (Y/N)'s palm before tapping the center a few times. Morse Code. Since when did Kayano know that? (Y/N) thought. 'I stole it off a guard when they brought me. We're getting out of here (Y/N). You've been here way too long.' Kayano tapped. (Y/N) shook her head again, reaching for Kayano's palm to type out a message herself but the girl was already moving to open the door. (Y/N) growled a little to herself, walking over and sitting down by the wall again. Kayano looked over at her and motioned for (Y/N) to get up. (Y/N) shook her head again and began tapping a message on the ground. 'I've nearly gotten killed once by one of your schemes, it's not happening again. You leave this cell and I can't protect you anymore.' She signaled. Kayano face palmed before finally getting the door open. She silently walked back over to (Y/N) and pulled the girl up. She dragged (Y/N) out of the cell and peeked around the corner before sneaking past some guards despite (Y/N)'s constant protests and warnings in frantic Morse Code and Sign Language. She was ignored as Kayano continued twisting and turning down the corridors of the castle. "D*mn. I think we're lost." Kayano growled. "And in so much trouble to. Tsk, tsk, (Y/N) I thought you'd warn your friend better than that." Both girls spun around to see Karma standing there with a smirk. "Granted, you did get further that most humans do, so points." He said. Kayano immediately shrunk back in fear, hiding behind (Y/N). The female's eyes widened, finding this scene all too familiar. (Y/N) growled a little to herself, hunter instincts kicking back in after a year of being dormant. "Apologies, I don't give a f*ck." (Y/N) growled, getting into a defensive stance in front of her friend. She then shot a look to Kayano and mouthed run. The green haired female gave (Y/N) a look of shock but still nodded. Kayano darted off and immediately the floor underneath (Y/N)'s feet opened up. She looked down with a stoic expression before plunging into the darkness. 

~Time Skip, (Y/N)'s POV~

I opened my eyes to find myself with walls all around me. I sighed in annoyance, realizing that joy, I was in the God d*mn labyrinth. I looked around spotting a camera. "Welp. Here's to my death. Bring it a*shole." I said. I stuck my tongue out at it before flipping it off with both my hands. I started walking down the path.
