''You killed Yayoi'' His voice was barely above a whisper, but he was sure the blond heard him. Eyes wide and locked onto the bloody sword Mikaela was holding, Narumi was fighting his desire to slay him or vomit at the sight of his fallen comrade. Yet, he wasn’t attacking. Rationally speaking, he’s a soldier. He should be taking this guy down, but wasn’t this the infamous Mikaela, Yuu’s family? Even he could tell that Yuichiro was necessary to the Moon demon company and as a family as well.

''Why'' He asked, brows knitting together and anger welling up in his chest as he stared at those eyes, cold as the night and locks as bright as the sun in a cheap mockery of humanity. ''Why did you kill her! She wasn’t going to attack you!'' Was she? He did remember telling his team to not try and slay the  blond vampire. 

Or maybe it was because of the same reason the vampire was looking at him right now. She was in the way.

The first droplets of the incoming storm started to fall upon the battlefield and Narumi took a step forward, eyes leaving Mikaela to look at the body on the ground. He dropped his trident, both out of shock and because he didn’t want Mika to think he was going to attack him. It’s with tear filled eyes that he hugged Yayoi’s corpse to him, his face burying in the crook of her neck.

Petrichor - The smell of dry rain on the ground.

“I’m glad. I’m glad Yuu could find his family again.”

Narumi looked away to the constantly grey skies as Yuu came back to the headquarters with Mika. Seems like the vampire had accepted to follow the seraph back here instead of insisting for him to go back with them to the vampires. If Yuu had gone…. Narumi wouldn’t have forgiven himself to have let him go. He had already lost two of his family and wouldn’t have been okay with losing another. 

He brushed a hand against his eyes and stared at Mika. Shinoa must trust him a lot to have taken the risk of sacrificing herself and the rest of her crew for him. Hopefully, Mika would understand what happened and would work with them.

SCREAMS ASSASSINS.
