Chapter Text
Satoru steps into the dilapidated building . busted windows, broken beams , and trash along the floor. graffiti sprayed on the walls, the stench of stale blood lingering in the air. There’s something just beneath the surface smell of it. He inhaled deeply It smells like sewage it makes his stomach twist and turn angrily. Such lovely blood wasted. He approaches the center of the room where a body is bathed in moonlight from the broken window about 2 feet away, He sighs. She’s naked her throat is ripped open leaving the pastel pink and vermillion flesh exposed he could almost see her spinal chord. Her face is contorted into horror, her hair is soaked with her own crimson essence. Her finger nails are broken off. She must have fought back against her attacker. There’s semen on her stomach, quite a bit of it . He must have taken his time with her given that he clearly finished more than once. Satoru holds a mask up to his face and slowly removed his glasses leaning down to look at the carcass. Young, pretty and she looked just like the other victims too. Too much like someone he used to know. Her blood even smells similar. Similar but not quite. Off just a bit.
“Damn” shakes his head the radio in his ear cracks with static
“Satoru” nanami’s voice bleeds into his ear “what have you found”
“Another body” he tells Nanami
“That’s the third this week” Nanami monologues
“He’s escalating” satoru states with a frown
“Which means we need to bring him in soon” Nanami overly informs.
Satoru’s rolls his eyes and stretches his sore neck. He hasn’t been sleeping well. He hasn’t been taking very good care of himself.
“I’m working on it trust me I want to catch this guy just as much as you” his eyes go wide in an instant. impossible blue switching to vibrant ruby red his fangs descend that scent. That’s the scent! That’s what he’s been chasing all theses years. it lingers on the air like a whisper in the wind. The fleeting memory of a voice gone too soon. He steps closer to the window and inhales deeply. It was there just a second ago where was it. It was there he knew it was
“There” he smiles looking down the street.
“You have something?” Nanami questions and satoru pulls the ear bud out . It hangs from his jacket by a curled wire. Nanami’s vice is nothing more than white noise. Satoru climbed on the window seal and takes another deep breath.
“Where have you been?” He’s gone in an instant.
“So” You breathe nervously looking to your friends. you sit across from eachother on the train. you speak softly since it’s silent this late at night and far less packed. And you were thankful for that.
your friends and fellow college classmates for World Mythology had become your crutch after traveling from home. You doubt you would have made it one day in your college without Sayouri. her bubbly personality and good looks made her easy to talk to and popular on campus. she swept you up the first time she saw you and you have been under her gentle wing ever since. Soushi came a little later after you had missed a few days of class because of a cold and he offered you notes so that you could easily catch up. Honestly Soushi helped you so much you knew you wouldn’t be holding a steady grade without his boosts every now and then. Soushi unlike Sayouri was the shy type the quite type, the hide into his hood to hide his face type. he only ever really spoke to the two of you. He wasnt very well liked or even known of campus. They look up from their own phones to look at yours
“What?” Sayouri tilts her head to the side her eyes going slightly wide “another one of those murders?”
“Yeah and here’s the victim” you swipe the phone and it pulls up a class picture of the girl murdered
“Man that’s creepy” Sayouri elbows Soshi “doesn’t that look just like y/n?” She asks
Soshi leans in narrowing his heterochomic eyes then shrugs “I don’t think so”
“Your crazy” Sayouri chuckles “that looks just like her”
“Yeah. And the attacks are becoming more frequent and always at night” you explain
“Are you scared? I know I would be” Sayouri returns to her phone
“Of course I am I live alone! And Soshi can only walk me so far”
“I can…start walking you all the way home if you want” he smiles softly
“I couldn’t ask you to do that” you shake your head
“I’ll do it if it will make you feel more safe”
“Oh” Sayouri smiles warmly “is this where the epic love story begins?”
“Sayouri”you blush and Soushi looks away. You’d admit it Soushi was very good looking and he was always sweet to you. But he never showed interest in you, In anyone for that fact. The only person that ever said anything about his interest was sayouri and you thought it was more to repel any advances he would make on her instead of actually seeing anything that hints at interest in you.
“Oh stop being so coy you two know your totally in love” the train slowly comes to a halt
“Okay alright Bye Sayouri” you begin nervously it was her stop and she rolls her eyes as she stands
“See you tomorrow Y/N ,Soshi” she almost skips off the train and waits by your window waving until it pulls away.
“Just watching her makes me tired” Soshi shakes his head
“I wish I could have half as much energy ” you counter
Before long your and Soushi’s stop approaches and you both stand like usual. Soshi puts a hand on your waist to keep you in place as the car jerks just a bit and you step off. The subway is mostly empty only one or two people linger around waiting for the next train. The pair of you ascend the stairs and you look over your shoulder at him
“So you’ll…really walk me home?” You ask
“Do you want me to walk you home?”
“I would feel more safe” you nod
“I’ll walk you home” he smiles warmly.
“Thank you” you breathe a sigh of relief as you two begin your usually route. After a few moments he lets out a light chuckle and you turn your head to look at him
“What’s so funny” you ask
“Just…what Sayouri said “ he shakes his head and puts his hands in the front pockets of his jacket
“I mean epic love story it’s silly”
“Yeah” you look down a bit “it is silly I mean” you force a chuckle “me and you I mean come on”
He paused and gives you a serious look
“What do you mean?” He ask, you turn to look at him
“Oh” your heart skips a beat “just that I mean you don’t really like anyone like that and the idea that you’d like me is just…silly?” You feel your cheeks growing red hot
“What? So do you think I’m like… not attracted to girls or something?” He asks
“What? No no I never said that and even if you were gay I wouldn’t care it’s just ya know funny”
“I’m not gay”
“Okay” you tense and sighs And he stares at you silently more a moment the awkwardness rising between you.
“Gah I’m…terrible at this” he turns away from you
“What?” You question
“Dating” he runs his hands through his hair and drops the hood.
“Dating…” he smirks
“I’m trying…I….I have…feelings for you….I’m trying to confess”
Your eyes go wide and you suck in a breath the night itself seems to go still.
“So yeah…I get it though your not into me like that” he shakes his head clearly embarrassed
“No no I …I am” you hold up your hands “I just didn’t think you were”
“You….like me?” his voice turns from soft to deep and dark in an instant. The shift in his demeanor the way his back was no longer slightly hunched. his face down turned his hair concealing his face in shadow
“Can…can I show you something it’s…not to far from here”
“Yeah”you nod. And he smiles taking your hand in his your fingers Lace, his hand is freezing cold. He takes you to an abandoned building your nervous at first as your enter but then you notice the graffiti on the wal. Soshi is an art major his style of choice was graffiti and he was very talented with it. You knew he would often go to abandoned buildings to paint his master peaces and you had seen photos of a few he took for his class. The pictures inside weren’t what he wanted to show you however. He took you up the stair case that lead to the roof and then To the edge you were quite a ways up maybe 15 stories.
“There” he pointed towards the back of a builboard it was a painting of you, holding a large umbrella your face slightly off to the side and beatiful make up adorning your face.
“Soushi that’s…incredible” you smile warmly and he blushes
“I’m so glad you like it I thought…I thought you’d think it was creepy”her rubs the back of his neck
“No of course not” you blush “your incredibly talented” he freezes for a moment before his lips are on you. They’re cold and dry and they demand so hard that you feel like your teeth will break under the force. you let out a pained whimper as he grips your waist and pulls you against his body your book bag clatters to the ground.
“Soushi” you try to pull away but he doesn’t let you he only chases your lips you can’t breath for a few moments and he’s biting almost painfully at your lips
“Soshi wait” he bites hard and you feel your skin break and taste copper
“Soushi” you slap him and he tumbles away as you touch your fingers to you lip. You pull your hand back to look at the stain of red on your finger tips. He made you bleed.
“Look I like I do but”
When he turns back to face you his eyes are glowing red and you freeze. His teeth are impossibly sharp as he lets out pants after pant red stains his lip slightly. You didn’t hit his Mmm hard enough to break skin you know you didn’t. Not his blood but yours
“I…Soushi…what….” He charges at you. Somehow you managed to duck and crawl less than gracefully out of the way. He stops just before the end of the building there wasn’t a ledge so falling off was a real threat. You backed away. He turned
“Y/n” it’s a growl it’s unlike Soushi’s viice at all
“Soushi stop it!” Your terrified. You rush to the door that lead you up to the roof but it’s locked you have to jump out of the way as Soushi slams his body against the hard metal trying to get to you
“So long I’ve waited so long” he licks his lips and you back away from him
“Soushi your scaring me if this a a joke stop it seriously what’s come over you!”you trick over something maybe a metal bar and this to the ground. Your forced to use your hands and feet to back you up. You can feel the hard gravel pressing almost painfully into your hands as you scoot away.
“Y/No…I…love you so much!” He reached for you and suddenly the gravel is gone and there’s nothing but open air as your body falls backwards.Your eyes go wide theres silence and then the rushing sound of wind as you begin to plummet head first towards the ground. You don’t scream your in too much shock. how did this happen? it all felt so sudden. You couldn’t help but think of all the things you never got to do as you stare at the dark sky slowly being encompassed bye the buildings that surrounded. Your eyes lock with a pair of cerulean one as it appears someone is going up as you go down. Wait your falling off a building how is someone going up? you look at eachother and time almost freezes as you take in only a bit of his features white hair white lashes impossible blue eyes. that was all you saw before you lost sight of him. You squeeze your eyes shut preparing to impact with the ground. Until you stop. You simply stop falling. You haven’t impacted with anything at least you don’t think You just suddenly stop falling .your eyes slowly open and you look up to see that same pair of impossible blue eyes. arms were wrapped around you you can see theres a tree behind him not the bark or the braches but the leaves billowing in the wind you look around next to as street light.
“Wh-“you begin to squirm. This man, he was floating floating five feet off the ground. When he slowly released his grip on you, you clung your his shirt
“That’s what I thought” he said “so stop your squirming” he begin to ascend .you watch the windows pass as you move further and further up until your settled back down on the roof. you drop to your knees and look up Soushi is still there in a rage he grips at his hair ripping chunks of it out he’s crying but his tears are blood red his fangs had grown bigger his eyes grew wider
“Couldn’t settle for the substitutes anymore?” your white haired savior begins to approaching the rampaging Soushi. long cloak billows in the wind.
“Had to go after the real one?”
Soushi growls like a trapped animal. The man pulls out a gun and shoots it before you can react. However instead of a bullet a needle shoots into Soushi’s leg. Soushi roars charging at the man before collapsing suddenly.
“Please don’t hurt him!” You cry out “somethings wrong with him”
The man looks over his shoulder at you.
“He’s a vampire”
“Vamp….” You shake your head “vampires aren’t real”
“Keep thinking that” he leans down and pulls Soshi up by his collar. His eyes have returne to their heterochromic form and he seemed a lot calmer. though incredibly sad he’s not unconscious just weakened Soushi looks at you
“Oh god….” He breathes “y/n”
“Soushi…?”
“I…I didn’t mean to…I would never hurt you I’m….” He looks up at the man
“No you just hurt women that look like her” the man who saved you stated “at least THATS what I though until now”
Your eyes go wide “Soushi…that…that was you?”
“I” he shakes his head and growls “I just wanted to…to….”Soushi’s words are cut off by the white haired man
“Know what it was like to kill her? To taste her to be inside her?” The man provokes and you shiver
More blood red tears fall from Soushi’s eyes
“Kill me…” you breathe. The man sighs and drops Soshi. He pulls an ear bud from his shirt to his ear
“Nanami I’ve got him”’he looks around “I’ll text you the adress he’s ready for pick up should be down for another hour”
You hear a white noise voice respond
“Because I need to make sure the victim gets home safely” he says and the voice grows louder and is still going as he rips it from his ear. The man approaches you. He offers his hand and you take it. He’s cold too.
“Y/N was it?” He asks and you nod
“I’m Gojo I’ll take you home”he pulls out a badge it doesn’t look like any you’d seen before it was gold made of fake metal but sealed with the police seal. “Your safe with me”
“Oh…ok…” gojo walks you out of the building through the stairs he pretty much ripped the locked door open so you could descend the stairs. you begin to head to your apartment he’s slightly behind you looking up and down streets he doesn’t talk much but you can feel him watching you.
“Soushi really killed all those women?” You ask
“Yes” gojo nods
“Because they looked like me?”
“Yes” he nods again and you finally reach your apartment
“I just can’t imagine Soushi doing anything I’ll like that I mean he’s always been so seeet” you pause as you walk up the stair that lead to your apartment.
“What will happen to him?” You ask
“He’ll be tired by the elder council and more than likely be put to death”
You freeze
“Death….”
“He took the life of 9 human women something like that will not be tolerated not even within the vampire council and the fact he also went after you” you reach your door and turn Abruptly
“Me? What about me” you ask
Gojo is silent as he looks at the ground then up at you and then at your lips his eyes go wide as he walks slowly towards you his eyes shifting from impossible blue to bright red fangs descending. Oh no! you can’t help but think not again. His tongue reaches you before anything else softly pulling at the split on your lip leaking blood before his lips meet yours. soft and gently and massaging. you gasp your eyes go wide as he leans you against your door and deepends the kiss. His mouth is so sweet his tongue feels way to nice against yours . your eyes flutter shut beyond your control. he grips your waist and pushes himself against you sandwiching you between himself and the door. To your shock you can feel him hard against your stomach and wall of his body as he tilts his head. your lips lock. your arms around his neck and he moans into the kiss pressing a knee between your thighs you let out a soft squeak . He stiffens you hear a hiss before he goes slightly limp in your arms slumping against you the kiss breaks. His head is resting on your shoulder his lips brushing your neck
“Sorry” he whispers and you look down seeing a needle impaled into His leg which then give out a moment Later. His waist is just a bit too much for you and the pair of you slowly slide to the ground
“Your a vampire too?” You question looking down at him he’s still limp against your chest but he manages to look up at you
“Yeah” he nods “I gave myself a tranq takes my legs out for twenty minutes but it suppresses the blood lust”
You aren’t quite sure how to respond to such a thing.
“Are you okay”you finally manage
“The blood” he points to your lips “it’s the blood on your lips thought I could resist but…I was wrong”
“So should I …?”
“Go inside yes please “ he nods “I’ll be okay”
You hesitate but when his eyes flash to red again you jump up and quickly unlock your door walking inside slamming it shut and locking it again. You look through your peep hole and watch him.
“Satoru…”‘Nanami’s loud voice on his speaker was annoying he lifted the piece to his ear “satoru”
“What?!” Satoru barks
“Where are you?” Nanami inquires
“I told you where…” his voice trailed off. he hated using these damn drugs that made his sense dulled made it hard to think.
“Fine rendezvous with me at Infinity bar”
Satoru nods looking up maybe the door hearing you duck beneath the peel hole and he smiles. standing up his legs were still shaking but he could manage his form faded quickly and he was gone.
