Chapter 9 - Half human

In the previous chapter:

"I am happy you are still happy",Hitoshi said before letting hand go.

:Present time:

Hitoshi left the room to join William and Mathew."Guards!",Hitoshi called out for some guards.

Five guards assembled before him within two minutes.

"Prince",they waited for their order.

"Guard this room,no one except the other three prince can enter this room without my permission.Inform me whenever the patient wakes up",Hitoshi ordered before leaving.

Mathew and William were walking down the hall way."You know,we were in the room for about half an hour,and it really was starting to smell like a female vampire",Mathew told William about his thought.

"I didn't notice it tho,but if this women really turns into the likes of us,we need to help her",William said as he felt bad about Mirai.

"Harris seemed pretty much sure about her transformation",Hitoshi's sudden entrance startled Mathew.

"She was really worried about you,Hitoshi",William said in a mocking tone.

"What...?Oh,that's because she was too shocked",Hitoshi replied.

Just at that time,Harris came rushing to them."I'm working here and you guys are fooling around?",Harris complained while panting.

"Why are you sweating?Is the blood test done?",Hitoshi completely ignored Harris's previous comment.

"Yeah,all done.Don't ask me tons of questions when I tell you the result",Harris increased the tension in the air.

"Say it already",Hitoshi impatiently demanded for the result.

"You see is she indeed a vampire now...but she is a human too",Harris nervously chuckled as he couldn't really explain it".

"Harris do you know that you have a talent for twisting already twisted things and how much you twist our minds with your twisted news?",William said.

"Do I even want to know what that means?",Mathew couldn't really understand what William just said.

"Let's see...she is fifty percent human and fifty percent vampire",Harris was finally able to explain it.

"And what are we gonna do know?",Mathew asked Harris.

"I think she can still endure a little amount of sunlight,consume something that she regularly used to have as a human.So,I think she'll be able to travel through the mirror,cast spells and gain other abilities that we usually have.But,her limits will be lower",Harris finished.

"What about blood?Won't she need it?",Hitoshi asked the most important thing.

"More or less she'll need to drink.After all she's a vampire now",Harris replied.

"What about her teeth and her mark?",William asked this time.

"I have to examine her teeth and her mark will not disappear,I'm sure about",Harris assured.

"Okay and how are we gonna tell her?We have to inform the central kingdom too",Mathew gave his thought.

"Right,the central kingdom needs to be informed",William replied.

One of the guards who were guarding Mirai's room,came to Hitoshi."Prince,the lady in that room is awake",the guard informed Hitoshi.

"I'm coming",Hitoshi and the others headed towards the room.

"May we come in?",Hitoshi politely knocked on the door before entering.

"Yes please",Mirai said in a sleepy tone.

"How are feeling now um...miss?William asked Mirai.

"I'm fine",Mirai said.

"Let's introduce ourselves,I'm Hitoshi's cousin,you can call me Harris",Harris warmly introduced himself.

"I'm William and I'm also Hitoshi's cousin and Harris's older brother.

"Nice to meet you,I'm Mathew,Hitoshi's youngest cousin",They all introduced themselves as they had no intentions of making her uncomfortable.

"My name is Mirai...Mirai Takasaki",Mirai's shoulder was still hurting.

"So,you are Hitoshi's colleague right?",William asked trying to make her more comfortable.

"Yes...he's my senior",Mirai didn't notice Hitoshi's presence.

"Excuse me,where am I?Am I still alive?",Mirai asked in a clear voice,she wasn't even surprised anymore.

"Of course you are alive!After all you got treated by the most qualified doctor in Luciana",Harris said with pride.

"Mirai san,you did notice I'm here right?",Hitoshi asked from the corner.

"Oh sorry I notice you there Hitoshi san",Mirai said as she noticed that Hitoshi was less paler than usual and more importantly,he somehow looked like that he wasn't as emotionless as before.

"Should we tell her now?"Mathew whispered.

"The sooner we tell her,the better it is",Harris said."But as Hitoshi brought her,I think I should ask him atleast",Harris thought before walking towards Hitoshi."Is it okay if we tell her now?"Harris asked Hitoshi in a low voice.Hitoshi just nodded."I wonder if she's going to be mad at me",he thought.

"Mirai,you do remember that you were bitten by another vampire right?"Harris softly asked her.

"Yes",she said in a cold voice.

"You see,Hitoshi pushed him away before he could kill you and that's why you are still alive",Harris continued.

"And?",Mirai knew Harris was hesitating to say something.

"And as Adam,I mean the one who bit you was a vampire by blood...so that bite turned you into a vampire",Harris looked down.

Mirai's eyes widened."What is he saying?This is a nightmare right?I'll wake up right?",those thoughts were pooling in her mind.She wasn't able to say anything.

"But don't worry,you are still a human,not a complete human,but you are",William said to comfort her.

She was even more shocked right now."What do you mean?",she asked in a stern tone.

"He means that you're half human and half vampire",Mathew explained it to her.

"Why is this happening...?",Mirai slowly said before losing consciousness for once again.

Hitoshi went to her."Why did she lose consciousness again?",he asked Harris."It's fine,she just fainted because of the shock",Harris ensured.

"Well...it's only normal for her to faint",Mathew said.

"Yeah,I think we should leave her alone.Hitoshi,order one of the female servants to change her into something comfortable",William advised.

"I did,but I guess it's not prepared yet",Hitoshi said before the room.

"He's as shocked as her",Mathew said.

"But he's trying to hide it",William joined.

"I just hope he's not blaming himself",Harris thought as he knew Hitoshi very well.

Mirai wake up after one hour of rest.But this,she only saw Hitoshi in the room."Hitoshi san?",she called out his name.

Hitoshi quickly went towards her bed."Are feeling okay?Should I call Harris?",he was rushing.

"It's fine,you don't need to call him",Mirai had never seen this side of Hitoshi before.

"But mind explaining who changed me into this kimono?",Mirai asked him in a scary tone.

"Don't worry,one of the female servants did,I apologize if they caused any inconvenience.We don't usually have arrangements for clothes like kimono here,so it might not be that much comfortable.".Hitoshi humbly apologized.

"It's fine.Where are we anyway?I didn't know that there is a place in Japan known as Luciana",she said while looking around the room.

"Mirai san,we are not in Japan,we are actually not in Earth right now",Hitoshi said something that made Mirai laugh.

"Listen,I believed everything you guys said till now,but seriously?",Mirai nodded in disbelief.

Hitoshi sighed."She's going through these incidents and she still doesn't believe me?",he thought to himself."Mirai san look outside the window",he suggested.

"Why?",she said before turning her head towards the window.

After looking at the view outside the window,she screamed like she saw a ghost,well,she wouldn't be this much surprised if it was a ghost.

"Th-there are two moons in the sky?!One of them is blue and the other one is red!",she exclaimed.

"You believe me now?",Hitoshi asked.

"Yeah",Mirai nodded."What else is going to happen?",Mirai thought to herself.

"You see,we vampires have a lot restrictions than humans,you saw on movies right?",Hitoshi was trying to explain it to her.

"Hm,you can't go outside in sunlight,you can only drink blood and I forgot the rest",Mirai told him.

"Okay...now that's not all.It's true that we can't to endure sunlight and we need to consume blood to survive.But there is a lot more you still don't know about.For example,we have our own dimension just like your Earth.There are nine dimensions in total.But,let's not talk about that now.We are in the first dimension,which is known as Luciana.And,we can consume three things other than blood.Chocolate made without milk and any other preservatives,red apples and black coffee",Hitoshi stopped to hear Mirai's opinion.

"What about water?",Mirai asked.

"Water is available in all the nine dimensions,but they differ in density.The water here is much more denser than that of Earth".Hitoshi answered her question.

"So,if I am a half vampire,then my restrictions shouldn't be as hard as yours right?",Mirai used her head.

"Right,but we still don't know your limits",Hitoshi was impressed by her reply.

"Okay okay!That's enough for today's class",Harris barged inside the room.

"You were eavesdropping??",Hitoshi asked in disbelief.

"I just happen to listen your listen to your boring lecture as I entered the room",Harris said in his usual dramatic voice.

"Isn't that what you call eavesdropping?",Mirai said."He reminds me of Kyo",she thought to herself.

"Here,have this apple,it's time for your medicine",Harris offered her an apple.

"Thank you...",Mirai was feeling weird at the sudden offer.

"You can have it",Hitoshi ensured.

She took a bite and her lips automatically curved into a smile."Is this apple coated in sugar?",she said,amazed by the taste of the apple.

"No.It's not.We can't have sweet things",Hitoshi told her.

"I don't like sweet things,but this apple is on another level",she happily started to munch the in.

"You can have more if you want",Harris hold out a whole basket.

"I told the servants to bring this,not you",Hitoshi said in a cold voice.

"What's with the cold voice?And I stole it from the servants",Harris said.

"You remind me of an old friend",Mirai said while smiling.

"Really?",Harris looked at her.

"I'm happy to know that",he replied with a kind brotherly smile.

"You need to take this medicine now",Harris handed over the medicine to her.

"What is this...?"She thought to herself after looking at the black tablets.

"Why are these black?",Mirai asked with a nervous chuckle.

"Oh,that's because I added some black rose petals in the medicine formula",Harris explained the cause.

"You should have,it will reduce the pain in your shoulder",Hitoshi advised.

"Okay if you say",Mirai hesitantly took the medicine.

"You should rest now,we'll be leaving",Hitoshi said before dragging Harris out of the room.

"Okie",Mirai lied back down.

"Am I really a vampire now?",she thought.
