As Mika made his way to the Tepes Mansion, he didn't realize that Yuu had waken up, staring at the blonde haired vampire. He had to admit, he was pretty, but would never say it out loud. He didn't utter a word, mostly because it was incredibly straining, but also because he didn't know what to say.

They were both silent until they made it to the mansion, walking through the doors without question from the guards. Neither were surprised by the size,  they'd both been multiple times before.

Mika walked to Krul's quarters, not bothering to knock.  As soon as he walked in, Krul was in front of him,  staring sadly at the seraph in the other's arms.

"Mika," she started,  sadly yet firmly at the same time. "Who did this?" The answer was almost painfully obvious,  but there was no harm in making sure.

"It was Bathory." Mika replied plainly. Krul clenched her fists,  near drawing blood before relaxing,  realizing that the problem right in front of her face was more important.

"I'll deal with him later.  For now, I need you to tend to his wounds." She looked at Yuuichiro, sympathetically yet no pity was present.  That was what Yuu liked about these two,  they didn't pity him.  That wasn't what he wanted. "What is your name?"

Yuu looked down,  not wanting to meet her gaze,  as he was too nervous.  He'd never met someone so nice before. "Y-Yuui...chiro... Amane..." His voice was hoarse,  as he had only put it to use when he was screaming in agony.

The short woman only smiled and nodded. "Welcome, Yuuichiro. We'll clean your wounds and get youa room in Mika's part of the mansion.  We'd encourage you to stay here,  we'll keep you safe." The seraph could only nod.

Mika smirked at Krul before leaving her in her own room,  making his way to the hallway.  He looked down to Yuuichiro, who was looking at anything and everything but the person carrying him. 

The ravenette felt that he was only burdening the vampires.  And why were they taking him in, in the first place?  They were probably just giving him false hope so that he'd let his guard down.  And either way,  he still had to find his friends, so he didn't plan to stay long.

Eventually,  they found themselves in a very elegant section of the mansion,  walls made entirely of marble. There were many pictures of older vampires and newer photos of Mika and Krul. Must be nice, Yuu thought. Having someone to look after while they look after you.  Seems too good to be true.

I'm just a dirty seraph.
Filthy wings, why couldn't I be born normal?
Why me?
Why can't I just live?
