No Choice

"Mikeala Shindo, 2010..." Ferid smirked when Mika flinched. "Naturally possesing the Seraph gene, he was abandoned by his parents and brought in by the Hyakuya sect at only six years old. How sad." Ferid commented after reading the sentence."hmm, nothing to instresting in your developments it seems Mika. Strange, Yuu-chans is rather riveting."

"Wha-what does it say?" Yuu asks.

"Let's see, Yuuichiro Amane." Yuu scowled at the last name. He has considered himself a Hyakuya and was disgusted by the name Amane.

"Is that your real last name?" Yoichi whispered.

"No. Just the one I was given because of my parents. My last name is Hyakuya. Keep going."

"Hmm, that's interesting." Ferid paused and looked Yuu in the emerald eyes. "Yours begins before you were even born."

"How is that possible?"

"You're not the only one either. Someone named Mirai Kimizuki and her brother Shiho Kimizuki also began before they were born." Ferid noticed as he flipped through the pages. "Yoichi's begins with his older sisters in 2010 like Mika's." He kept flipping but made no more comments for a while.

"Alright." He announced standing. "I've chosen who I'll be taking with me."

"Huh? Taking with y-" Kimizuki was cut off with a hand around his throat. Everyone stilled, staring in shoke.

"Shiho!" Yoichi yelled and lunged forward missing Kimizuki by about a foot as Ferid moved out of the way. "gah!" Yoichi yelled as Ferid swung Kimizuki around. Everyone was shoked by Yoichi's outburst. Usually Yoichi was more calm and for planning before attacking but now he was moving relentlessly around Ferid being careful not to nip Kimizuki with his nails.

"Ah-!" Ferid's eyes widened. "You actually cut me? Impressive, of course I wasn't fully paying attention."

Crowley sighed and leap towards the window. Yuu slide across the floor to block him. "No." Yuu stated holding his sward firmly and Crowley backed up.

"Ferid, couldn't we have done this outside?"

"Of course we could have!"

Crowley smiled. "Move Human." Crowley glared, still smiling as Yuu stood in the way. "Fine, the hard way then." Crowley spun, kicking Yuu to the side into Mika and jumping out the window. Ferid followed with an unconsious Kimizuki in tow. Yoichi jumped through after them in full rage.

"Give him back!"

"Oh Yoichi, was this your livestock?" Ferid grinned. "Well, we'll be taking him. Try that blonde girl instead."

Yoichi flinched at the word livestok and grew angrier. He made his bow appear and pulled back the strings making an arrow appear. He heard shouting behind him and the whispering of his demon but just kept following Ferid. "C'mon Yoichi, you may be a vampire, but demons are faster. You could catch him if you give me your body."
"Shut Up!!" Yoichi yelled but Ferid was too fast and already much further ahead. He shot his arrow with shaking hands and it split into multiple arrow all aimd Ferid. "Don't hit Kimizuki." Yoici demanded. The arrow were blocked by Crowley on their way for Ferid.

Eventually, after several more arrows, he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to see Mika staring into his crimson red eyes with matching ones. "Stop. You can't catch them."

The others were shouting from a while away and Yoichi realized how far he had run trying to catch Ferid and save his love. "B-but-" Yoichi fell and broke apart in Mika's arms. He was sobbing and trying to catch his breath.

Mika was awkward in emotional situations since the only thing he felt uncontrollable emotions for was Yuichiro but after losing the one you love, Mika could understand the breakdown Yoichi was having. He remembered Kimizuki's wondering when Yoichi was taken and how Yuu and Mitsuba had talked about seeing him take out his anger on inanimate objects and throwing things when he was fed up. He wondered how Yoichi was going to react once the initial shock wore off.

"Yo-Yoichi!" Yuu caughed attempting to catch his breath, the others right behind him.

*****

"So why did you decide to take this one?"

"His conditions were similar to Yuu's according to some of the charts and his little sister has already been controlled. I figured it was an obvious choice." Ferid said as he leaped onto a low building.

"Hmm. I guess you're right." Crowley shrugged. "So, how do you plan on making him a Seraph and controlling him?"

"First makeing him a Seraph shouldn't be to hard. We can try physical torture to see if he is willing enough to escape that he would become a Seraph, then we might have to try messing with his mind if that doesn't work. Like I said his conditions are similar to Yuu's. Yuu freaked the first time when his family was in danger and Mika wouldn't let him turn back to help them."

"And controlling him?"

"Well, we should be able to do it the same way as the humans did. Hopefully his Seraph won't be more powerful than his sisters."

Crowley still seemed worried but Ferid was fairly confident. There was no more talking until they were at their destination.

*****

Kimizuki woke up with a bright light in his face and cool metal touching his exposed arms and legs. He was in black shorts and a black tank-top straped to a metal chair at the wrists, ankles and around his stomach. He shifted uncomfortably and noticed something tight around his neck. His vision was blurred and he squinted but it only helped a little. He shook his head and found the reason it was so blurry, he was missing his glasses.

"Damn it..." He choked out and tried to move against the restraints

"Wow, he's awake?"

"He doesn't look to good."

"Did they already give him the first dose?"

Voices swirled around the room but Kimizuki couldn't make out any faces. It took him a few seconds to breath properly before he could remember what happened. "Urgh!" He jerked forward when he finally put it together. "No, no, no no no." He started getting light headed thinking about the others and what Ferid was planning.

"Hm? What is it? Are you worried about your friends?" Ferid's voice called from a blurred figure.

"Whe- Where-"

"Ahaha, were in a lab obviously! Oh! I almost forgot, you can't see without these right?" Kimizuki couldn't actually see what Ferid was holding but he assumed it was his glasses. "They're a little cracked but I believe they still work."

Ferid walked over to Kimizuki, which obviously frightened many vampires in the room, and placed his glasses on Kimizuki's face so he could see clearly. "Better?"
Kimizuki scoffed but nodded at the same time. "Good. Your friend was worried by the way. We grabbed you and he attacked us immediately."

"Yuu?"

"No, the brunette, Yoichi, the one I turned. He was quite terrifying, even managed to scratch me."

"..."

"No need to talk I guess. Oh, also, you might feel a bit of pain in a minute." Ferid stated before walking away.

"Hey! Wait A Minute! What's Going On!?" Kimizuki shouted and pushed against his metal harnesses. The thing around his neck flashed green and caught his attention. "And What The Hell Is This Thing!?"

"Remove the glasses please." Ferid's calm voice said and carefully a brave vampire came forward and removed his glasses though Kimizuki struggled. "Now begin with the injections."

"Injections? Wha- Gah!" two needles stabed into his arms and he attempted to yank away from them. Another needle was plunged into his skin as the two were removed.

"Alright, begin the process."

"What process!? Talk to me damnit! What the hell is -!?" He was cut short again as he felt a searing pain shoot from his legs to all over his body. He realized soon he had been shoked by the metal around his ankles. Several more burst of electricity left his ankles and wrist burned and charred. His screamed echoed throughout the large metal room.

Similar but more extreme torture continued for the next few days but Kimizuki had no indication of becoming a Seraph anytime soon. Ferid started to worry it would never happen.

"Hm, I thought this would be enough. Maybe we should try for a more mental approach." Ferid sighed and again approached Kimizuki. "Well, how do you think your team is right now?"

"What?! You just tortured me and now you want to make conversation?!"

"Yes. So, do you think they are having metal break-downs, maybe Yoichi is still running, or maybe they have given up or even killed themselves. Yoichi is sure to be in great despair. Don't you want to get back to them? To bad they'll likely die if you don't get there and warn them about the JIDA knowing their current location."

Kimizuki growled and screamed as he shot glares at the vampires including Ferid. This mental torture only lasted a few hours before he couldn't stand the thought of his team being hurt, or dead, or captured.

He struggled hard but after only a moment he stopped. He stilled and became silent.

*****

Yoichi didn't sleep but he didn't talk or acknowledge anyone either. It was like he was sleep walking, or a walking corpse. Sometimes he started crying but his expression didn't change.

The others tried very hard to comfort him and even talked about plans to get Kimizuki back in front of him but he had no reaction. Later that night, Narumi approahed him just before Yoichi was about to walk into his room.

"Yoichi, we need to talk."

"..."

"Please Yoichi, I know it's hard but we'll get him back."

"... Shouldn't you be resting?"

"Yeah, so? If you keep acting like this I guess I'll get worse trying to help." Narumi shrugged and took to leaning on the wall for support.

"And how should I act? Like you? Forget about him, is that it?"

"What?- Hey Wait A Minute! If you're implying I forgot about my squads death you're wrong! I'll never forget them but I can't let their deaths stop me from continuing to help you and the others."

"Whatever..." Yoichi sighed as he entered his room and closed the door. Narumi walked away in a whispered rant about his squad. He left to his own room so the others wouldn't view him crying at a time like this.

Three days. That's how long he waited. The others tried comforting him multiple times but it never worked. Yuu and the girls tried offering him blood but he refused. Tonight Mitsuba was especially worried. Yoichi hadn't drank in a while and he had been whispering to himself all day.

While everyone tried sleeping, Mitsuba found herself wanting to comfort Yoichi. She just wanted to make sure he was okay and was not going to run off. Since being back he'd only confided in Kimizuki and rarely even made decent conversation with the rest of them. She was afraid he would run off without him.

She was right to worry. When she entered his room, he was gone, and the window was wide open. A cold breeze swept by her from the outside as he approached the window quietly. She stared through it but there was no sign of Yoichi, and in the dark, she wasn't sure if they had left any trail.

"I should tell the others right?" She whispered. She turned to leave and a peice of paper fluttered on Yoichi's bed. "What's this?"

'Sorry' The paper read in blue pen. That was all. A simple message in Yoichi's hand writing.

***** (Back to Kimizuki!!)

Ferid backed away, as did the others. When Kimizuki looked up his eyes were wide and his breathing heavy. One of his eyes was black and gold like the other seraph's had been and the other normal and crying. He stared straight ahead, a look of terror across his face.

"Finally." Ferid smirked.
