World 4.3

"Giving up already?"

Aoki grinned "Don't get too cocky, you are just a kid after all" then he laughed "But I want to admit that you are smart knowing that I entered your territory"

Homura clicked his tongue "Tch! I already know it was you, So? Where did you bury the Police Commander's body? I know something's not right just by entering the meeting room" he sneered

It's true that Homura was a little bit surprised after seeing a vampire inside the meeting room, imitating the Police Commander. But as the General, he didn't want to cause disturbance so he managed to go with Aoki's flow of plan by going alone in this abandoned warehouse. 

Aoki smirked creepily "But how did you reciprocate all of my actions, would you mind telling me, Master of Ishii Mansion?"

Homura chuckled, "It's very easy. How come you told me that low class vampires want to see me in the abandoned warehouse if you don't have enough time to investigate?" he replied

Aoki laughed once more, then he became serious "I see, I miscalculated everything" putting his hand under his chin "I guess the only way is to kill you right now" he said

Yang twitched his lips, fighting unarmed is not a good idea, he had skills in combat but it was not enough if Aoki will fight him seriously..

{Author! What should I do?}

AUTHOR: The magic pen will provide the answer

Yang quickly pressed the magic pen hanging on his neck, the hologram showed up..

'THE TALISMANS CONTAIN CURSED SOULS, YOU CAN USE IT AS A WEAPON, ISHII HOMURA WAS A TOP STUDENT IN USING THIS WEAPONS, IT WILL BECOME EASY FOR YOU HOST!'

{So, How should I use it?}

The system flashed some words..

'YOU NEED TO CHANT THIS SPELL. YOU MUST FIRST GIVE ESSENCE BY DRIPPING BLOOD ON THE TALISMAN AND THEN AFTER THAT, CHANT THE SPELL WITH ALL YOUR POWER'

{Okay, okay!}

Homura took three deep breaths, he needed some concentration. He didn't know if this will work but according to the system it will just be an easy peasy for him.

He took out one talisman "Then come and kill me.." He quickly slit his index finger using the small knife beside his waist., letting the blood flow to the paper. The talisman indeed lightened up with a halo of red and black. Homura chanted the spell

"Dark moon, thick mist, piercing the nemesis with thy unbreakable tip! Accept my blood to resurrect, heed my call one of the powerful cursed weapons! COME! KUROTSUKKII!!!"

Light emerged, with red and black flame flowing through the talisman. The flame danced in the air, swaying gently forming a bow and arrow. Letting Homura's hand touch the weapon. 

Homura smirked,  he adjusted his stance, gripping the bow. Placing the arrow beside his perfect line of vision. The arrow glowed in a red halo on the tip. His eyes flickered once again, releasing the energy in an instant.

And before Aoki could dodge it, he was already pierced , turning him into ashes. 

Homuras's eyes dilated in so much awe, he was so amazed by himself "Ehhh?!! Is he dead already?!" he exclaimed 

{D-D-Did you see that?!!! Am I cool??!!}

AUTHOR: Stop exaggerating like a puppy

{B-But!! Did you see that?!! I'm so cool, yes?}

'LOVE METER RAISED TO 10%'

Homura jolted in surprise when he heard the system. "Ehh? What happened? Did I hear it right? The love meter just raised to 10%?" he thought 

The chilly and quiet night was suddenly disturb by a sudden clap of hands "Such a strong one" a voice said

Homura turned silent, feeling his surroundings. Looking around where that voice came from, it's not from Aoki because the voice was small and cute! Like a child!

"Ehhh?!!! A child indeed!!!" Homura yelled in surprise when the darkness spit out a child in torn clothes, he almost fell down in so much surprise.

The child crossed his arms "Are you something like a hero? Are you a vampire hunter?" he asked

Then the memories of the first time encountering a vampire in the dark alley bang his mind, he will not be tricked anymore so Homura stood straight, carrying all his pride with chest high. "You! You will never trick me again!" he yelled

The child twitched his brows "Mister? What are you talking about? I am just a stray child asking for food and I might die of hunger huhuhu...are you not going to save me?" his eyes were almost sparkling like a little puppy

***

"Kyaaahhh!!!! He was so cute!" 

Homura scratched the back of his head "Yuna..Can you please lower your voice?" he said

Yuna turned to him and glared so hard then she turned her gaze again to the sleeping child on the sofa "I can't take my eyes out of him..So cute!!!" she exclaimed 

"Yuna, he might wake up"

The woman grabbed him outside the room, closing the door as they both walked towards the hallway. "Tell me, Where did you find him?" she asked 

Homura told her the truth, finding the child in the abandoned warehouse after fighting that vampire, and he ended up bringing him to the Mansion because he felt pity. The child was hungry and cold in the chilly night. 

Homura jolted after seeing Yuna's expression while listening to his stories, fingers crossed with beaming eyes in so much cuteness "E-Excuse me! Where did your violence go?! And why are your eyes sparkling like a puppy?!" he exclaimed 

Yuna took a step back and then she cleared her throat "From now on, I will be the one taking care of him" she said proudly "You are a stupid idiot so I'm sure that he will learn nothing from you" she added 

"How are you so sure!!?? It's not for you to decide!!" he exclaimed 

The next day, Homura woke up late, he was still daydreaming while walking in the hallways. He was going to yawn when something seized his waist "I don't like her!!! Gahhh!!!" a crying voice said

Homura saw Yuna running towards him "My cute baby come here!! Let me bath you!!" the lady exclaimed in excitement 

He saw the child from last night, hiding behind him. Homura smirked, thinking that he was ahead of Yuna in the child's eyes "Stop right there.." he ordered

The lady stopped right in front of him, holding a towel and a soap. Her perfect eyebrows became annoyed "Get out of my way, you lazy idiot" she said

"Uh..nuhh.." Homura replied "Based from the situation right now, this child hiding in my back didn't like you, you better stop..let me take care of him" he said

Yuna's scary eyes quickly turned gloomy like she was going to cry "Huhuhu..Why didn't you like me, my cute baby? She asked in sadness

"You are ugly!" the child exclaimed, tightening the grip on the male's waist

Yuna froze, thousands of embarrassing arrows struck her in an instant. She can feel her soul flying away from her body. Her confidence level became thin just like a paper.

Homura took the child's hand as they walked pass Yuna, but before that, he tapped the woman's shoulder "Kids don't lie.." he whispered

The two went to the Mansion's green house garden, it was mid-afternoon, so the warm sunlight was so good and fresh in the skin. Homura toured the child around the Mansion. Telling him about the different things about the Ishii Clan, Yang looked smart and witty but the truth is he was just reading what the system showed to the hologram.

They sat down on the bench above the garden ground, there was a stairway of flowering plants in front of them, the colors were aligned perfectly. The balmy and sweet scents were swinging with the air giving them a relaxing vibes.

Homura's gaze turned to the child sitting beside him, the kid was busy watching the bees hovering above the flowers, he scanned him. The child had messy but cute silver white hair, every thread was glittering when exposed to sunlight. His eyes were crimson as blood. His eyelashes were curly and long. Pale skin and a perfect face, he was like an angel.

Homura couldn't sense any vampire aura from him, he looks like an innocent child. Though they still don't know where he came from, it was still their duty to protect him at all cost. 

"Hey MIster.."

Homura jolted from dazing so much in his thoughts "Y-Yes?" he replied

"Do you think vampires are all bad?" the child asked

Homura was startled by the question, he didn't know what to say "Uhh..m-maybe some of them are bad?" then he rubbed the back of his head "Ehehe..Why did you ask so suddenly?"

The child didn't look at him, his gaze was still at the horizon "Because some of them didn't deserve death.." he answered 

"Oh my! What is he talking about? He really was a kid after all, not fully understanding things..Am I too old for this?" Homura murmured in his thought

Homura smiled nervously, thinking that maybe this kid was reading too many fairytale books about vampires so he decided to change their topic.

Homura cleared his throat "Uhh..Kid, What's your name?"

The child grinned, looking at Homura's direction. His pupils dilated under the dandelion sunset, making his crimson eyes darker. Shivers suddenly crawled towards Homura, the child smiled as he stated his name.

"..Shiro" he said
