Things that Shouldn't Exist. . . ((Ask to Join))

[Suoh Sayaka]

Her outfit was simpler than what she usually wore. A pair of dark jeans paired with a dark blouse, her hair pulled into bun on top of her head, held by two sharp chopsticks, only a few strands were left to hang around her face. It had been awhile since Sayaka had found herself scouring the town in search of something to amuse her; something that would make life just a little more bearable.

She looked at the Level Es facing her; it hadn’t taken long to find them, the scent of human blood flooded from the area. From the look of it they had once been a small family. Two that didn’t seem to be past the age of 25 and a small child that looked the most sadistic of them all. Her hand automatically moving to the white hilt of her katana, their lives would be over soon enough.

‘The child first.’ She thought to herself as she began to move forward. Their deaths would be quick and painless; she wouldn’t drag it out as some other vampires of her status did. Her movements were fast, they would go unnoticed by the human eye as she unsheathed her blade and pierced the heart of the child, its hand moving to scratch her as she pulled away. Turning to look at the other two, they didn’t even seem to notice that they had lost one of their group; did they not care for the child at all?

Her eyes narrowed, it should’ve made her happy that they didn’t care. It should’ve made her happy that she was killing things that had truly lost their minds. She rushed forward, pulling her katana out again as she sliced the female’s neck, but as she got closer, the vampire slashed at her in fear of it’s own life though it had shown no compassion towards the life of the child. She quickly returned her katana to the scabbard quickly.

“Pitiful. . .” Sayaka said as she jumped back again and turned her head to look at the last one. When her gaze turned, the male seemed to realize that remaining there was dangerous for him and sped down in the opposite direction. She ran after him, her speed matching his without effort. He didn’t seem to have an idea of where he was going as he led her to a dead end and turned around letting out a loud hiss as to scare her off.

She slowed and stared at him for a moment. . . His clothes echoed that of a businessman, a human that had some sort of class, but that didn’t matter any more.

She just stared at him. . . How could he care for his own life when he had not cared for any of his companions? She rushed towards him once more; his life would end soon enough. Unsheathing her katana for the third time that night, she walked towards him, there was nowhere else for him to go.

[Suoh Sayaka]

Sayaka could hear someone approaching behind her, could feel the confusion that they must’ve been going through. Turning her heard, she saw a girl appear behind her.

“Another idiot.” She said barely loud enough for girl to hear. She didn’t like running into other beings that obviously didn’t like the fact that she killed other vampires. But this time was different, this one didn’t seem to know what she was getting into.

"I'll be one of them soon. So, get through me first!" She had heard her say, realizing that the thing that had approached was yet another Level D. While Sayaka didn’t find any pleasure in taking the life of something that still had some sort of thought process, she wouldn’t back away from a fight. Her eyes narrowed as she watched the thing that had appeared behind her draw a weapon. Did she really believe she had a chance against a Noble?

Seeing every one of her movements Sayaka could only guess what she was going to do. She watched as the girl sliced at her abdomen, an expected move. ‘How many people do I have to explain this to?’ Sayaka thought to herself as her eyes flashed a crimson shade. Her own katana swinging up to block the incoming blow before she jumped back a few feet, landing behind the vampire she was about to kill. She moved herself in to the traditional position of Kasumi no Kamae, her right arm parallel with the ground, her left creating a perfect 90 degree angle; the blade of her own katana directed at the back of his neck.

“Abdomen shots are easy to make, but even more easy to counter, any being that claims any type of swordsmanship knows this. . .” She started as she looked at the thing in front of her, seeing it visibly tremble in fear.

“Or perhaps that wasn’t your goal at all. You were arrogant enough to think that I’d go after you instead of this thing?” She questioned as she waited for an answer. It was a former human she was staring at, long dark hair, dark eyes, something that Sayaka didn’t see everyday. ‘Why does she put his life above her own? Why is she willing to die for something she doesn’t know?’ Sayaka thought as she started moving, making one rotation, the tip of her katana aimed to strike the man’s neck.

[Suoh Sayaka]

“No, there is no way to save him. He’s not like you anymore, shouldn’t even be considered a vampire.” Sayaka said, her voice deadly, as she thrust the sword through the back of his neck. He lost his mind and that was why he killed, no sense in prolonging his life; his death was quick, minimal pain. ‘He may not have chosen his fate, he may not have chosen to kill, but that doesn’t mean that he still deserved to live.’ Sayaka thought as she twisted the sword and removed it from his body.

Blood was everywhere, even in the darkness, the liquid could be seen, could be smelt.

Watching the girl’s movement closely, Sayaka started counting in her mind. ‘Three. . . Four. . Five. . . ’ Before jumping forward over the Level E's body to avoid the girl's blade. The girl herself had taken position behind her, a spot that Sayaka wasn't too comfortable with. ‘Slow.’ She thought, it was nothing compared to fighting a Noble, but it was a Level D in front of her, what more could she expect?

Her eyes glowed and even brighter shade than before as she stared at the girl, retaking the previous position she held. ‘She really has the intentions of fighting me?’ Sayaka questioned; a part of her hoping she was correct, while another hoped that she could avoid this battle.

“You’re no match for me. . . Give up already, I have no intention of killing something that hasn’t completely lost its mind. Why do you put his pointless existence above your own for the sake of sympathy?” Sayaka questioned, her voice having a tint of anger. ‘Getting mad over the death of a Level E is completely preposterous, the world would be thrown into complete and utter chaos if there were others like her.’ Sayaka thought.

She heard the girl say that she had no goals when she fought and knew that her thinking was completely ridiculous. Everyone had a goal when they drew their blade, everyone had at least one and that was not to die.

“Ridiculous.” Sayaka said as she waited for the girl’s next move.

Natural Vampires. . .

Was it only because of the fact that she was a “Natural Vampire” as the girl put it that made her the way she was? She hadn’t thought about it before, how she had always looked down on vampires of lower status. But she really didn’t treat the ones of higher class any different than society demanded.

“Don’t compare me to that thing that I just killed. What gives me more of a right? It’s this little thing that I like to call sanity, something that he no longer had.” She said as her eyes staring straight at the girl. She had no remorse for killing the thing that meant so much to her.

Raising her katana quickly to block the girl’s incoming attack, the blade was close to Sayaka’s face, and she didn’t find that comfortable. The girl was attacking her for no reason, at least, not a legitimate reason to want to try and take another person’s life.

“You are an idiot. You still have a mind, but you put it to useless things, if I didn’t kill it, the Hunter’s would have.” She said as she took a step to the right and jumped. “Then they would’ve killed you, just because you are what you are.” She said as she landed, her katana scraping the wall of the alley they were in.

The girl in front of her was an idiot, but she was only a Level D, not even close to dropping if she could stand more than a few seconds with the amount of blood that was scattered all over the place.

‘It doesn’t matter if you didn’t choose to be one, no one chooses to be what he or she is. If everyone had a choice, the world would be a much different place.’ She thought as she charged at the girl, her katana aimed at the top of the girl’s right shoulder.
