Chapter

'But not for long,' he added as he caught her thoughtful gaze from the corner of his eye. His thoughts were interrupted by her voice.

"I'm ready. I want to be a vampire!" she declared.

Kaito gazed deeply into the eyes of the girl whose name he still didn't know. Observing her determination, he rose from his seat and approached the bed where she sat. He noticed her growing nervousness as he drew nearer. Yet, she had to endure, for he had no other choice. He needed to make contact with her and bite her to turn her into a vampire.

"What... What are you doing?" the green-haired young woman asked him, panic evident in her voice. She couldn't comprehend why he was getting so close to her. But before she could leave the bed or rise to her feet, the man was beside her in a flash. He climbed onto the bed and sat behind her as she remained seated. She could feel his warm breath against her neck.

Sensing her fearful reaction to their proximity, Kaito grasped her shoulders firmly to prevent her from fleeing and attempted to reassure the frightened girl.

"If you wish to become a vampire and control your own destiny, you should not move. It will hurt a bit, but the pain will pass," he explained in a calm, deep voice.

"How... How will you turn me into a vampire?" the girl asked, this time much calmer. However, she remained uncertain and intrigued by the method he would employ to grant her the coveted power.

'...He wouldn't bite me, would he...?' the young lady wondered to herself, unsure.

But before she could dwell on it further, she felt a sharp prick at her shoulder a few seconds later.

Noticing her distracted reaction, Kaito seized the opportunity to bite her shoulder, injecting her with the special venom stored in the fangs of pure-blood vampires. He observed her attempts to resist and tightened his grip on her shoulder to keep her in place. This process could not be interrupted; otherwise, her only outcome would be death.

'Maybe I should have mentioned it,' he pondered.

The girl immediately felt her body heat up as the vampire suddenly bit her. It was painful, but bearable. However, she noticed her energy rapidly declining and sensed something changing within her body. But before she could observe further, she suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous, her body feeling as though she had been in a hot spring for hours. She felt like she would lose consciousness in a few more seconds if this continued. Amidst the pain she endured, she let out some pained whimpers.

After what felt like years to the young girl, though it was only a few minutes, the pain and heat subsided. All that remained was deep exhaustion and a loss of energy. She felt the hands that held her shoulders vanish, and she almost fell face-first onto the bed. However, before she could reach it, Kaito caught her and laid her down on the bed.

The last thing she heard before losing consciousness was a "Welcome to the family" that could only have come from Kaito, as he was the only one in the room—or at least, that's what she wanted to believe.

The next day, as the girl opened her eyes, she rose from the bed and surveyed the room. To the left of the bed, she noticed a large mirror. It was crafted from gold. She found herself intrigued by the mirror, contemplating the man's wealth and amused by the idea of someone spending money on such extravagance.

Approaching it, she was startled to see blood-red eyes staring back at her from the reflection. A short yelp escaped her lips in shock. Initially, she thought it was another person in the mirror, but upon closer observation, she realized it was herself.

Her green hair remained the same, her face unchanged, perhaps even more beautiful and radiant, though she couldn't be sure. However, the most significant change was the orange eyes, now luminous and blood-red.

"I have truly become a vampire," she muttered to herself. She didn't know how to react in that moment. What was clear was that she didn't regret her decision, even though the process had been painful. Hopefully, it would be worth it.

Before she could examine the room further, she felt a thirst unlike any she had ever experienced. Her throat was dry, parched as if she had never drunk water in her life or spent months in a desert without hydration. She held her throat with a pained expression, unable to comprehend what to do next. But one thing she knew for sure: she needed something to drink to quench this thirst.

Hours later, when Kaito entered the room where the girl slept, he saw that she had already awakened and stood bent in the middle of the room. He quickly deduced what was wrong with her and appeared before her in an instant.

"Here, drink this; it should alleviate your thirst a bit," he said gently to her, moving her hands away from her throat as he spoke and handing her a white bag containing a red substance.

And what could it be other than blood? For blood is the only substance that vampires can drink and enjoy. Everything else tastes no better than urine to them. That is also the reason why they consume nothing but blood.

The green-haired young lady took the bag without hesitation and began to drink it greedily as it was already open. She felt the warm substance glide down her throat, heavenly and soothing the pain she felt in her throat.

Once her thirst was quenched, she wiped her hand across her mouth to clean the residue, her two red eyes meeting Kaito's two piercing blue ones.

Seeing that she was satiated, the vampire began the conversation.

"How do you feel now?" he asked curiously.

"Good... no, that would be a lie... I feel like I've been reborn," was the only response from the red-eyed girl, fascinated by the power she felt within herself.

With a playful grin, Kaito remarked that this process was aptly referred to as "rebirth" for a reason.
