☆ Ichinose Guren ☆

"Ah Guren, you're here. Excellent," Kureto announced when he noticed Guren entering his office. Guren walked towards the other male and sat down in front of him. "Why the hell did you summon me here for?" Kureto answered, "A mission. It'll be fast if there are no casualties." Guren responded, "What kind of mission are you speaking about?"

"I want you and your team to retrieve something for me, a very important object." Guren sighed, "Why my team if it's so important then?" Kureto explained, "I have too many important paperwork to do and gatherings to attend. If I were to disappear suddenly, people will, of course, know my absence."

"And what's wrong with people knowing?" Guren demanded. Kureto replied, "This object I want you to retrieve." The male hesitated before continuing, "It's a very powerful yet unstable object. Fall into the wrong hands, and we may have to say farewell to our lives." Guren frowned, "What's the object?"

Kureto got out of his comfy seat and stood up. Guren watched as he marched to a drawer and pulled out a rust-colored colored file. He then put the file on the table, in front of the ravenette. "Everything you need to know is in this file," Kureto stated. Just as Guren tried to touch the file, Kureto intervened, "You can look at it later."

Guren pulled back his hand, "Fine." Kureto then rested back on his chair, "Now, let's talk about what you're going to do there and how you're getting inside."

"Ugh, so we're here just to retrieve a couple of syringes filled with something we don't know about and don't need to know according to Kureto?" Goshi spoke in an annoyed tone. "Yeah," Guren responded while staring at the view outside the vehicle window. "What do you think is inside the syringes, Guren-sama?" Sayuri asked. "I don't know. Kureto said it's powerful and dangerous, also that if the vampires get their hands on it, we're doomed." Shinya released a laugh, "Well shit." Shigure then questioned, "How long will it take until we arrive, Shinya-sama?"

"Hmm, about half an hour more," Shinya replied. Half an hour passed and they eventually reached the location. "Out of all the places, why here?" Goshi swallowed. The team was currently looking at an abandoned hospital. The place was about thirty years old and held quite an odd past. "Why? What's wrong with this place?" Mito questioned in confusion. Shinya responded in a joking tone, "There are ghosts inside." Guren groaned, "No there aren't any ghosts. Stop fooling around." Shinya smirked, "Fine. Fine."

"From what I've learned, this place was a high-tech hospital before we were even born. To gain more recognition, the one who builds this hospital agreed on handling mentally ill persons from an asylum in the south part of this hospital, which was off limits except for the ones worked there." Guren answered. Mito asked, "What happened after that?" Goshi responded, "My dad said that one day, after five months, everyone in this hospital died except the people that came from the asylum. They left their rooms and brutally murdered everybody around, it was all captured on a CCTV. Though, when the policemen got there, no one was there."

"So they escaped?" Shigure asked. "Who knows?" Goshi shrugged his shoulders. Guren sighed, "Enough story time, let's go." Guren and his team marched forward with cautious steps, wariness in their eyes. They then stopped right in front of the main entry, Shinya commented, "What if an enemy is already inside? We're just asking for suicide, stepping straight into the main lobby." Guren agreed, "Then what's your plan?"

"Well, we could go there," Goshi pointed to a blue door not far away from the main entrance. Guren sighed, "Fine, let's just go already. But be prepared." The team quickly summoned their weapons and walked forward. Shinya then slowly opened the door, which was surprisingly unlocked. The area beyond the door was messy. And by that, really messy. The carpet was ripped to shreds, and the walls had dried blood hand prints. "Ugh, it smells here," Mito stated.

"Where did Kureto said it was placed at?" Shinya asked. "The south part of the hospital," Guren announced. "You mean, the place where the people from the asylum lived at, Guren-sama?" Shigure questioned. "Of course." Goshi sighed, "This mission sucks."

The six of them wandered to the south part of the hospital, discomfort in their eyes. Guren was leading them in the front, looking bored yet cautious. When they arrived in front of a red door, the south door, they all took a deep breath. Guren stepped forward and opened the door, revealing an eerie hallway.

Just then, they heard a weird clicking sound just below them. "Shit," Guren said as he falls downwards, alone, realizing he walked into a trap. He closed his eyes and waited for an impact, and yes he did get an impact, a painful one at that. "Ugh, ouch," Guren groaned in discomfort. He seemed to hurt his left shoulder when he fell. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was in a beige colored room, it looked dusty and had several big crates covered in cobwebs. He coughed when he breathed the air around the chamber, so he quickly clasps his right hand beneath his eyes.

He observed around and found a rust-colored door leading him to who knows where. Just as he was standing a couple of inches from the door, he heard a hum coming from the other side. Unsheathing his sword, which he put back inside his scabbard after coming inside the hospital, he quietly opened the door and peeked inside. Guren contain his surprise when he sees a familiar [h/c]nette sitting in a chair while humming a song. "[M/n]?!"

The male opened his eyes slowly and looked towards the source, "Eh, Guren? What are you doing here?" The said man crosses his arms, "I should be the one asking that." The vampire replied, "Well, I was bored, so I didn't know what to do. Then, Ferid said it'll be an excellent idea to go here. Saying that maybe it'll be fun." Guren responded, "Seriously?" The vampire nodded with a smile on his face.

His eyes then wandered to Guren's shoulder, "Hm? What's wrong with your shoulder?" The ravenette replied in sarcasm, "Oh you know, just fell into a trap." [M/n] questioned, "What trap?" Guren said, "Nothing you have to worry about."

"So, what are you doing here?" Guren sighed, "A mission." The vampire released an ooh sound, "What's the mission. Can I help? I have nothing to do anyways." Guren remarked, "And why would I trust you?" [M/n] released a chuckle, "Cause I'm your friend, of course. That's what you said last time we met, remember?" Guren smirked, "Then tell me who you really are. I know you're not just like any ordinary vampire soldiers. You managed to notice the shots from Shinya that should've killed those nobles and managed to block a monster strike single-handedly. You're as strong as the other nobles. So, tell me. Explain it too."

As [M/n] was about to say something but was interrupted. The door which Guren entered from opened forcefully. They looked behind and saw Guren's team sweating and panting. [M/n] looked towards a pale blond man's hand and saw a black suitcase, it had many locks, including a fingerprint scanner. "Guren and.." Shinya glanced towards [M/n] and immediately summoned Byakkomaru, "Vampire!"

He shot a bullet towards him, but it was too slow for the vampire. It made a large crater in the wall, exposing what seems to be have been an office. [M/n] puts both his hands in the air, then pronounced, "Calm down. I'm not gonna hurt you people." Their eyes were swelled with confusion, not knowing what to say. "But you were the one hunting us weren't you?!" Goshi yelled while pointing a finger towards [M/n].

He only blinks in bewilderment, "What are you talking about?" Just then, the ceiling collapsed to pieces as a strange figure appeared. They were wearing a black hood and a white mask. The mask's eyes were a colored black, making it look ghostly. Seeing the figure, [M/n] instantly grew cautious, so did the figure. [M/n] pulled out his sword quickly.

"Hey guys, I think it's better if you go now." [M/n] announced when he observed that the figure was looking at the suitcase Shinya was holding. Shinya looked towards Guren, "C'mon we already have it. So let's hurry up and go."

Just as Guren tried to leave and walk past the door, he heard [M/n] shouted, "Guren watch out for the strings!" He looked down and observed, and yes, he definitely sees a thin line, many of them, blocking the door. When he touched one of them with his gloved hand, he sees that it cuts through the glove like it was a sword. "Shit. Shinya I can't get out." Guren cursed. "You guys go ahead and give it back to Kureto." Guren sees Shinya's eyes and the others were filled with fear and hesitation. "Just go, I'll be okay. I'll be back as soon as I can." Shinya nodded trusting Guren and left with the others.

"Guren, stay out of this." Guren heard [M/n] stated. "What? Why?" Guren asked in confusion. "Just trust me about this." The figure then pulled out two daggers from their sleeves. It looked well made, but [M/n] doesn't have time to think about that since the figure quickly attacked him.

[M/n] was surprised about how good this mysterious figure is in fighting. He tried to stab [M/n] countless times, if he was a little bit late, he would have many wounds by now. Suddenly, [M/n] felt something on his left hand, the one not holding a sword, he looked at it for a second and saw a transparent string on it.

The figure seems to pull it because in a split second, [M/n]'s left hand was quickly detached. "Ugh.." [M/n] couldn't quite put a finger to it, but, he felt nostalgia when he's fighting this mystery guy. As if this once happened before. Losing his focus for a split second, he didn't realize the person was now standing behind him. Not only better at combat, but this guy is also quicker than me. Shit. [M/n] considered as he felt the cold blade pressed against his throat.

"[M/n]!" Guren yelled, not knowing what to do. He knows [M/n] is strong, but if this guy is more powerful, he's pretty sure he would lose. And then die. Then, as if something hilarious occurred, the figure began giggling. Its laughter was ominous and seemed changed. Does his mask have a voice changer? [M/n] thought.

"This is amusing, you know?" The figure snickered, "I thought that you, [M/n], would have become more powerful and exciting to fight with when I left you alone." [M/n] replied, "I don't even know you." He felt the figure smirked behind his mask, "Oh dear. Did you really forget about me? That's a shame."

"I guess I should be going now. See you later, [M/n]. Ahaha." After laughing, the figure removed his dagger from [M/n]'s throat and vanished. As if he was never there. [M/n] sighed and picked up his left arm, arranging it at where it should've been, so it'll heal. "Do you know who that was, [M/n]?" Guren questioned. "Maybe. I don't remember though."

"How are you gonna go back by the way? Your friends already left." [M/n] asked. "I'll think of something." After a couple of seconds, Guren continued, "I'll walk."

"Nah, you won't," [M/n] stated as he crouched down in front of Guren, his back on view. "You want to carry me?" Guren asked. "Yeah, now hurry up!" Guren sighed and did as he's told. When they were outside, [M/n] leaped into one of the buildings, then another. It was quite a pleasant experience for Guren since he's never done this before. Once they were getting closer, Guren told [M/n] to just put him back on the ground.

"Well, see you later, Guren!" [M/n] waved. Guren nodded and walked forward, it wasn't that far away now. Just as he thinks he should say thanks, [M/n] was nowhere to be seen. Sighing, Guren just proceeded his walking.

"Hey, Ferid." [M/n] called out Ferid's name. Ferid looked away from his book, "Yeah?" [M/n] replied, "Why did you tell me it was a good idea going to that hospital?" Seeing the red patch of blood on his left arm, Ferid gawked, "Woah what happened?"

"I wasn't paying attention at my enemy. I think," [M/n] answered. Ferid released a chuckle, "That's rare of you." [M/n] nodded in agreement. "Well, if you want to know why, it's a secret." [M/n] sighed, "I'm gonna go back to my place and take a bath. I can't stand these stains anymore."
