Kuro and I hang out with Ryusei, Sakuya and Koyuki at Ryusei’s place. We talk a lot but I still can’t shake the part where I’m worried about [F/N]. Kuro was sleeping through all our conversation. Suddenly, a question that made me jolt was ask by Sakuya,
“Mahiru and [F/N] are always together even before the contract about them being siblings but... somethings fishy.” Sakuya was looking at me with the face that said ‘I’m enjoying it’
“Yeah. We had talked with her but not as close as Mahiru.” Koyuki said,
“Even if we’re all together like walking home, she talks to Kuro more like the cat itself is a human.” Ryusei said,
I was speechless about what they thought about [F/N]. She wasn’t really avoiding them but actually she’s shy.
“Really? But she talks a lot with me.” Sakuya said,
“Only with you and Mahiru.” Ryusei inform.
“Oh, Right.” Sakuya agreed, scratching the back of his head.
“Maybe... she’s just shy.” Koyuki explained by his own view.
“Shy? About what? That we’re guys? Not changing the fact that her brother and Sakuya are also a guy.” Ryusei said his words,
I didn’t know that our conversation turn out to be a gossip about a girl. I stood quietly listening even though I didn’t answer their question, another came and that made me relieve.
“But, you know. [F/N] had always been an attraction since she came.” Koyuki said, remembering the first time she came in to the school.
“Well, what can be ignored when she has the quality of an idol.” Ryusei said, “An athlete, a top 10 student and even cute.”
“You can say that again.” Sakuya said, as it ended they looked at me.
“So lucky to have a little sister like her.” Koyuki compliment.
“And her brother is talented in house chords.” Ryusei added,
“A combination of indoor and outdoor talent within them.” Sakuya added another,
The three of them sigh as I get all the goodness of life. I can’t change what I have now, even though it made me more happier than ever.
. . .
Time flies fast when you’re having fun,
“Well, I have night shift in my part-time job.” Sakuya said, he stand up and went towards the door.
“I think, Kuro and I should go too.” I said, looking outside the window. It’s nearly dusk. “Thanks for having us visit.” I left the house,
Walking out the house, I wanted to text [F/N] but notice the changed of the day. It almost night time and it’s dangerous to be walking around at night, I mean literally. Walking while typing out words for the message, Kuro transform into his vampire form. He looks around, sensing something wasn’t right. I feared for the worst.

At Licht’s house, he played the piano for [F/N] to listen. It had been the fourth song already and she couldn’t be more impressed by Licht’s skill. They already talk about Licht’s Lead, that is a pair of powerful boots which can slow the regeneration abilities of vampires he kicks with (mostly used on Hyde), and a Grand Piano which he can play various songs on, with often debilitating effects on those who listen to them. With such amazing and useful Leads, [F/N] was even more impressed. But since Hyde lost his power, Licht's Lead seems to become deactivated. She told them about her Lead too, the four Lead that was given by the Inner demon.
Holding Hyde's precious item that was given by Licht. The chain necklace with a dog tag was cut into two by Tsubaki. Even if it's a simple item but it held great power between Eve and Servamp. Softly touch the metal where the name had been place. Hyde's name was roughly wrote on in. [F/N] already told that forming the contract with her didn't necessary need the name and item from the Eve. What she's holding was enough to confirm her that it's nearly complete, just like Kuro with his bell. After completely create the contract, Licht will ask a blacksmith to repair the metal necklace.
“So, is all of that enough?” Licht said, he told all of the things that [F/N] should know.
“All of them are perfect. Thank you.” she said and smiled. Still holding the necklace mesmerized by the item, she couldn't let it go.
Licht look away as he sees her smile. Hyde came close to [F/N], embrace her from behind and his hand holds both [F/N]’s hand. So, the last thing to do was to devour the blood.
“So, the condition is complete.” Hyde said, his fangs were about to bite on [F/N]’s neck. Unbottom half of her shirt, showing her white neck.
“Hey, wait---”
“Yes. With this you will regain your lost power.” she said and made Licht stopped.
“Tch. Make it quick.” Licht click his tongue, turning around and look outside the window.
“Sorry. But this will be a little rough.”
Before [F/N] could say her words, Hyde had already bit her neck. Sucking out the blood from her neck, [F/N] felt pain. She moan in pain, Hyde’s hands that holds [F/N]’s hand tighten when he notice that the blood that he’s devouring felt an amazing power as it enter inside his body. As more and more blood that he devour, he regain most of his power. Still isn’t satisfied, he suck her blood more.
“...Onii-chan. I think-- that’s enough.” [F/N] said while panting, the pain felt more and more as it stings on her neck.
Hyde didn’t stop until, Licht came and kick right towards Hyde. Leaving his fang from [F/N]’s neck, he quickly dodge Licht’s kick. Licht’s eyes widen to see that he dodge his kick,
“Yeah!!” Hyde scream in joy.
“Is your powers back?” Licht ask,
“I think so.” Hyde clench his fists.
Licht help [F/N] sit up, after Hyde was satisfied after sucking out her blood. But in the other hand [F/N] felt a little weak. She pants heavily as the pain on her neck still stings. A glowing chains appear and connected on Hyde’s nape. Thought that it had completed,
“No, not yet.” she holds her neck that Hyde had bitten.
“You still need my blood, right?” Licht said, and [F/N] nod.
[F/N] took a little rest before she suck Licht’s blood next. Wanted to lie her head on the couch, Licht offered for her to lean on his chest to take a rest. [F/N] thanked him, still panting, she weakly lean on Licht.
“Should I prepare a camera for Licht’s first love bite on his neck.” Hyde said,
“NO! STUPID RAT!” Licht said, angry. Hyde laugh as he was just joking.
A bit more rest until she continue but then, on her neck appeared a chain, glowed in red. She notice it but didn’t know what it mean until,
“Mahiru.” she stood up, standing steadily and hurried to the front door.
“[F/N], what’s wrong?” Licht ask,
“Mahiru and Kuro are in danger.” [F/N] said and left the house with a rush. Seeing her panic and left the house, Licht and Hyde followed her.

Night falls and we encounter one of our enemy. Wear in black cloak, Kuro and I had been fighting it. Information about them still isn’t complete, even trying to talk with them they didn’t respond and just attack us out of the blue.
“Kuro.” I gave him my blood to increase his power but it still couldn’t stop it.
The one that we’re fighting right now seems to be different from the other two we fought. It doesn't use speed, if it did maybe Kuro couldn’t sense his presence, or Agility as it didn’t dodge Kuro’s attack but it attacked back.
“Who are you!? And what are your motives.” I tried to talk to it again,
“The chosen one.” it said,
“What?” I put down my broom (Lead).
“Where is she.”
“Are you looking for [F/N]?” It distracted me when I heard it was searching for [F/N]. Made an opening, it attack me but thankfully Kuro shielded me with his claws.
“No use talking.” Kuro push it away. It already been half an hour when were fighting it. Kuro is already exhausted.
“Watch out, Kuro.” I warned him. Changing my broom into a spear. Throwing it right towards it, but the enemy summoned out a mirror. As the spear went through it like a portal, it disappeared but, “It’s reflected?!” the spear that I thrown towards it, reflected and it’s now heading towards me.
Kuro came and pushed me, together we dodge my spear that was heading towards us. Kuro got cut a little but as he’s expression had shown, he’s actually exhausted. We couldn’t fight it by ourselves,
“Mahiru!”
“[F/N]?” I look around, hearing her voice calling me.
She came running towards us, notice that we’re fight another enemy’s ally. She summoned her bow and arrow, using her eyes to aim right towards the target and summon even more arrow to target it.
“Wait! [F/N] don’t it--”
I was too late, she have already let go of the bowstring and all of the arrows shoot towards it. Standing calmly, the enemy didn't move as it know that it was useless. Reflecting all the arrows, [F/N] stopped the arrows, controlling the arrows but half of it couldn’t.
“It couldn’t stop all of them.” The remaining arrow were right about to hit [F/N] until, Hyde came and slash all of the arrows with his rapier.
“Onii-chan.”
“You should have waited for us.” Hyde said, he holds a rapier that cuts [F/N]’s arrows that had hit her. “So, this is our enemy.” Hyde smiled, “I’m going to have fun.”
“[F/N], go to Mahiru.” Licht said as they distract the enemy.
She ran towards us, helping us up. I was glad that she’s okay, after seeing the arrows reflect and aim towards her, I thought I could lose her.
“I’m glad that your okay.” I hug her when she arrived right in front of me.
“So, he got his power back?” Kuro ask,
“Yeah.” she answered but then her face went to a halt and remembered. The contract hadn’t been completed since she hasn’t gotten Licht’s blood.
“...This is bad.”
