I looked at Ai and she had an angry expression on her face and she was coldly glaring at Kasuwagi. It was without a doubt the coldest glare I have ever seen on someone's face. It was so unbelievably cold that I was also feeling being frozen up in a mountain.
"So you drank some of that human's blood and now you think you can beat me? Don-"
"Shut your trap," Ai said coldly making Kasuwagi stop immediately. Right now, Ai had this intense aura of superiority to her. Her right eye was glowing abnormally green for some reason and looking into them was as if you were looking into the eyes of a predator. The one who does not discriminate between who they kill and just kills mercilessly. I can say that it was really that intense because I was not even looking at Ai and I could get that feeling.
Kasuwagi on the other hand took a step behind with her legs trembling. She had a horrified expression on her face and her lips were trembling.
"No, it can't be. That eye…no one can have that except for…h-"
Before Kasuwagi could finish her sentence, Ai disappeared from her place and appeared right in front of her holding her face in her hand.
"I told you to shut your trap didn't I?" Ai said coldly and shoved Kasuwagi's face in the ground with a lot of force that a big crater was formed and the shockwaves sent me back to the wall.
I was standing next to the body of Kasuwagi who was laying there motionlessly but I knew she was not dead yet but she had taken a lot of damage. Ai coldly stared at her and the next thing I know, she was thrown to a wall crashing into it. Kasuwagi stood up coughing and breathing heavily. Her wounds healed rather quickly but that one hit did take a toll on her.
Without any warning, she charged at Ai who had her back against the wall, and right before she could get a hit on Ai, she tilted her head dodging the strike. Ai plunged her hand through the stomach of Kasuwagi and threw her in the air before jumping up and kneeing her in the face kicking her down. During the entire time, Ai's expression did not change at all and she just looked so uninterested in the fight that it almost looked like she knew she will win. If confidence was personified then Ai would be the perfect model for it.
"H-how can she be so powerful?!" Kasuwagi said standing up on her feet with her face reforming back to normal and the blood being pulled back in her body. "She just drank some blood of the human. Even I could not get that strong with that even though I drank a lot more!"
"That is because Kazu-kun was not the only one whose blood I drank tonight," Ai said coldly and as I thought, she did not just drink my blood. She drank the blood of other humans too and the vampires outside too.
"Wh- you mean even my slaves?"
"Not just those fuckers. I had a lot better tasting blood than that."
Kasuwagi extended her hand and Ai jumped back and did not get thrown away this time. Is she somehow able to see it? Kasuwagi said that the ability she had made her move objects as if it was with an extension of her body. Ai could see that?
"H-how did you dodge that?" Kasuwagi asked.
Ai did not answer her question and disappeared and reappeared behind Kasuwagi smacking her across her face making her hit face first in the wall.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you just yet. You hurt MY Kazu-kun so I am going to kill you, slowly, taking my sweet time," Ai said and I had the flashback of when I saw her torturing the vampire back then.
"Don't get too cocky!" Kasuwagi shouted and a surge of shockwave hit every single object in the room making it all fly up in the air including me and threw it all at Ai.
Including me.
Ai easily dodged every single one of them and I was the last one that got thrown at her at a very high speed. My hair was covering my eyes and I could not see what was going on but my body was held by something really cold and soft. It was a very familiar feeling and moving my hair out of the way, I saw Ai looking at me but not with a glare. Both her eyes were glowing brightly in their respective color and it was nothing like I have ever seen before.
It was so beautiful.
"Kazu-kun," she softly called my name and I felt a warm feeling build up in my chest. I had the feeling to forget the situation and wrap my arms around her cold body and kiss her soft lips.
Ai raised her other hand holding Kasuwagi by her neck lifting her off the ground. She was struggling to get out of Ai's grip but Ai tightened it even further not without even looking at her. Her eyes were locked with mine staring deep into my soul with a soft gaze.
"L-let g-go!" Kasuwagi said while struggling to make Ai turn towards her and her expression changed.
"Don't interrupt my precious time with MY Kazu-kun," she said smashing Kasuwagi's face right in the ground.
Ai has some serious problems with Kasuwagi's face for some reason.
Ai let go of me to deal with Kasuwagi but I almost fell down only to be caught by her. I looked at her and her hand was caressing my face gently.
She is really doing this in the middle of a fight with a noble. That is something only Ai could do.
Making me sit down, she turned back at Kasuwagi who was squirming on the ground in pain, and the next thing I knew, her arm was missing. Tracing the trail of blood, the arm which was missing was in Ai's hand and she threw it across the room.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
Kasuwagi started screaming in pain but it was just the beginning. Ai pulled her hand up and thrust it in her stomach making her cough out blood. Ai started twisting her arm which was already in Kasuwagi's stomach and her screams echoed in the abandoned building. She tried one last time to get out of Ai's grip by forcefully making her let go of her making Kasuwagi grunt in pain.
Kasuwagi jumped back and picked her arm up putting it back in place and it healed. The hole in her stomach also healed and she was looking at Ai with bloodshot eyes. Her face had an ugly expression on it and it no longer looked beautiful.
Ai gave me a scary deadpan look.
Her instincts are scary.
Kasuwagi extended her arm and aimed at Ai but she started jumping around being in control meaning she was dodging them. Then I saw her appear right in front of my kicking the air before me only to get caught in something and get thrown on the floor.
"You fool! Even if you touch them, you can grip you easily," Kasuwagi said and I saw the dust emerging where Ai was thrown down and I could see them.
Kasuwagi was moving objects around with invisible threads.
They all were connected to Kasuwagi's limbs and my eyes widened due to the realization. The strings of thread could be seen if you could see the temperatures of everything in the room. The thread would definitely be at the colder end since we are on a hill and hiding a heat signature is not really possible. Meaning Ai could actually see them.
"I am getting bored of this," Ai said and stood up as if nothing happened. Her face had some dust on it which she wiped off with her sleeve only to get blood on her face which she tried wiping off with her other sleeve but it had blood on it too.
So she angrily ripped off her sleeves and wiped them with her arm.
Kasuwagi raised her hand yet again to attack.
"Don't you dare move," Ai said in a commanding voice and Kasuwagi stopped in her place. Her body looked like she was frozen like a statue and only her mouth moved.
"No, this…this can't be? H-how do you have her ability? Only she could ever use it. I have seen it with my eyes. Why do you have this?!" Kasuwagi shouted at Ai but she paid no heed to her.
With each step closer to Kasuwagi, she wanted to run but she did could not even move. Ai was coldly glaring at her and casually getting closer and closer to her. Her hand went behind her back and she took out a stake from I don't know where. I did not even see where she kept it.
Readying it to stab Kasuwagi in the chest, Ai poked her finger lightly on the tip and was finally now standing before the trembling Kasuwagi. She had a horrified expression on her face and her eyes were begging Ai to spare her but I don't think that would be happening.
"Die."
Ai quickly stabbed Kasuwagi in the heart making her scream in pain and she stumbled back holding her chest with the stake in it. After a few more moments of struggling and falling down, her body turned motionless.
She fell down on her belly and her body started disintegrating. Not even having anything left after you die, the vampires really have it rough.
I slowly stood up feeling enough strength get in my legs and winced in pain. Ai looked at me and her eyes had stopped glowing. She ran over to me and hugged me closely. I felt her soft, cold body press against mine and it felt good.
"Are you hurt Ai?" I asked her softly but she only hugged me tighter.
"This was something I am supposed to ask," she said meekly and I stroked her hair.
"Really because I am sure you almost died back then. Good thing I still had blood in my veins," I joked and hugged her closer to me.
I felt her cold body on mine and I loved this feeling. Even if it had been only a few hours or so, I still really missed this feeling and I didn't want to let go. Not ever. Ai snuggled her face on my chest cutely.
We stood there for some time without caring about anything in the world. Right now, Ai was the only thing I could think about. Suddenly unlike any time before, she pulled away from the hug first which confused me for some reason. I looked at her and raised my eyebrow.
Ai had her head down and she had her head facing down and I saw her clenching her fist. Why is she like this?
"Kazu-kun," she called my name. "I heard before outside what you were saying."
"Oh, so what did you hear?" I asked her rubbing the back of my head wondering what she heard. Did she hear calling me Kasuwagi beautiful? Because if she did I am screwed?
"You said that you were just using me and I was a…disposable pawn," she said looking at me making my expression darken. "Did you say that?"
"Ai wait, I th-"
"Did you say that?!" she shouted this time and I flinched due to her sudden outburst.
She is misunderstanding something and I looked at her clenching her fist.
Letting out a sigh, I looked at her. "Yes, yes I did say that. But liste-"
Before I could complete my sentence, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach knocking the air out of me and making me fly back a good distance. I looked at Ai and she had her fist clenched tight with her eyes shining.
"You lied to me!!"
