Owari No Seraph: A Friendship Torn Apart By War.

Chapter 25: Ones True Feelings

"I can't believe it's already been four months. It feels like just yesterday we were all fighting." Mika said. I nodded in agreement.

"I'm just surprised that Okaa-san came with us. I'm actually glad that everyone has warmed up to her. It took awhile, but I guess they all missed that motherly figure in their lives." I said, smiling as remembered all of the events that took place

I looked up at Mika and then quickly looked back down at the ground. I smiled deviously. "You know, my Okaa-san isn't the only one who warmed up to everyone~~~!" Mika looked away, his face starting to turn pink with embarrassment. "Shut up." He mumbled. I giggled.

"I'm also a bit worried." I stated, startling him. I leaned back and sighed, staring up at the night sky. "Even though we're kinda enemies at this point, I still can't help but worry about Guren. I know I shouldn't check on him, but I can't help. He was like a father to me, he protected me from the Hiiragi's. So, I know he can't be that bad." I said, clenching my fists.

"I'm also worried about my sister, Krul. Even though we hardly got to know each other, she protected me from those bastards Crowley and Ferid. I just really hope nothing bad has happened to her.." Mika sighed and grabbed my hand.

"I know how you feel. I'm actually quiet worried about her myself." I looked over at him, a bit curious. I smiled a bit, happy that I wasn't alone.

Then it dawned on me. "How's Yuu-kun? He he been acting strangely at all?" I asked as Mika shrugged. "He seems fine. He was actually deep asleep when I left our sleeping area. Why?" I sighed, not able to get rid of that small nervous feeling in my stomach.

"I'm not sure." I stated, my eyes narrowing. "I just get this sort of, how should I put it, a bad feeling. Ever since that time in Nagoya, it seems like Yuu-kun has been changing. Like something other than the Owari No Seraph has taken affect on him. Like maybe..." I said, my eyes soon widening.

"Could it be his demon. Asuramaru?! Is that why he seems different...it couldn't be..right?"

"You okay?" Mika asked, snapping me out of my thoughts. I shook my head. "Nothing, I'm just thinking." I replied, trying not to worry him anymore.

"I'll make sure to keep a close eye on Yuu-kun. Just in case if I'm not imaging things."

The both of us stayed quiet for a while, listening to the sound of the ocean waves. It was very peaceful. That's when I realized Mika was still holding my hand. I quickly turned away, my face starting to turn red in embarrassment.

"W-Why am I getting so nervous? He's just holding my hand, it shouldn't at all make me flustered!"

"Hey, Mayu. Can I ask you your question?" Mika asked, snapping me out of my thoughts. I nodded hesitantly, hoping he didn't see how red my face was.

"S-Sure Mika-kun. What is it?" I asked, starting to get a bit fidgety. Mika didn't seem to really notice. "How does it feel for you, you know, being a half vampire and all. Doesn't it...well.." He said, looking at the ground.

"Doesn't it bother you?"

I jumped, a bit surprised that he would ask me that question. I shook my head. "It doesn't necessarily bother me. Sure, it is a bit different, and I do get a bit uneasy with some of my abilities." I stated, remembering all if the times my vampire side would take over. I smiled.

"But, what makes me happy is that either way, as long as my family accepts me for who I am, I'll live." I stated, my comrades popping into my head. "So, other than that, I don't care." Mika chuckled. "I had a feeling you'd say something like that."
