You Will Only Be Mine-Chapter 306: Legitimate
I was standing right next to Ama as she was running her tests on Yuna. As expected, it wasn’t anything too extravagant or painful. Yuna just had to stay at her place and the rest was done by Ama and the machines that were stationed in the infirmary. I think calling it an infirmary is more of an understatement. It is an entire lab and nothing less.
"And we are done, thank you for helping Yuna-chan," Ama said taking off her gloves. "These tests will prove to be very helpful in the future of our research to understand more about vampires."
"But don’t you already know plenty about them?" I asked her and she chuckled.
"That is the thing Kazu-chan, I only know plenty and not all. Vampires are very fascinating creatures with how their bodies function and are able to perform just a feat of strength without their bodies gaining any more muscle mass. Otherwise, if a human had to do all this, they had to be at least a muscle monster along with the reflexes of an F1 driver. Not to mention then their big bodies are also supposed to be moving as quickly as vampires do. I think you know what I am trying to say, right?" she asked and I nodded. "And your sister here, is quite an interesting sample, a vampire who is the age of a brand-new critter but still with the looks and body composition of a noble. I mean, given her age, I wouldn’t be surprised if her eyes just randomly wet bright red and she started to cause havoc in the infirmary and if that were to happen, I might have to take matters into my own hands."
"I see…"
"Moreover, let’s not forget you are standing here. We tried some tests on critters on how they would react to even a drop of your blood and they seem to be really violent and get drawn to those few drops but Yuna-chan still being so close to you is not showing any such symptoms. Truly fascinating," Ama said getting close to Yuna.
Yuna swiftly moved away from her and hid behind my back peeking from the side again. I didn’t expect her to be this uncomfortable around people. Well, I don’t really know about the situations she was living in at Dominic’s place so I can’t tell.
I did ask the question to Ama about being a vampire because I was still hesitant to go and try to become a vampire. I realized just how weak I am against someone like Dominic so I had to grow strong and I am desperate too. Even so, I am thinking about it in a more reasonable way too. The offset of the blood killing me through the conversion and me not being able to control myself in time will only cause a lot of problems as if I hadn’t done that already.
"Okay now, time for training!" Ama said cheerfully. Wait what?
"What training are we talking about here Ama?" I asked and she winked at me. "Combat training of course, what is it Kazu-chan? Were you expecting some other sort of training you naughty boy?"
"Combat training it is!" I shouted and rushed out of the room. Someone, please stop this woman. For once I thought she had stopped with these comments but I guess I was wrong. I mean, she did start calling me Kazu-chan again so that should have explained that.
We all went to the training room and I stood on one corner of the room with my katana activated and firmly placed in my waist. Ama was standing in front of me out of her lab coat in a sports bra and leggings. Also, why was she wearing that under her clothes?
"Oh my Kazu-chan, don’t look at me like that. I will start to feel embarrassed~" Ama said teasingly and turned to her side and I turned my face too.
"If anyone will not be embarrassed by wearing this, it would certainly be you Ama," I said still not looking at her.
"That is the plan," I heard her voice in my left ear and I turned around to take out my katana but Ama’s hand grabbed mine stopping me from drawing my weapon. "I’m pretty sure Natsumi-chan taught you this, right? To not take your eyes off your target, no matter what? Don’t tell me you are not a good learner."
"I-I am," I said jumping back and making some distance between us. Yuna was standing right next to Akira looking at the event unfolding from a distance. "It’s dumb of me to not expect you of all people do something sneaky like that."
I drew out my katana and fixed my eyes on Ama. She let out a little smile and reached for her back before pulling out a double-barrel shotgun?! Wait, we are training, right?
"A-Ama-san I-I understand you are not Japanese but can we stick to weapons that do not require g-gunpowder?! Moreover, didn’t you use another weapon before?!" I shouted with a drop of sweat falling down my forehead. "Are you sure you are not trying to kill me?"
"Who knows," she said and charged at me and I started making more distance between us. The problem is that she is using a shotgun which is a highly powerful close ranged weapon so closing in on her would not be a wise choice. Since I have a katana myself, I can’t really be going against her even at a longer range. What do I do then?
"What is this Kazu-chan? Something wrong?" Ama said all the while closing in the distance between us. She aimed the barrel at me.
BANG
She shot at me and I quickly tried to dodge it but still, some pellet hit me and I felt the pain in my side. I quickly looked down checking for blood but surprisingly, there was none.
"Yes, rubber pellets. Did you seriously think I will hurt Kazu-chan like that?"
"Still, the mere fact that you are pointing a gun at me is very intimidating," I said putting the distance between us again. The one place where the katana has its forte was the close range but even that would be overpowered by the effects of a shotgun. Given the speed at which Ama is able to move and her reflexes, I would really need to be faster than Koto to even have a chance at attacking her.
Sigh, I shouldn’t have brought a sword in a gunfight. Or I wouldn’t if I WAS TOLD IT WAS A GUN FIGHT.
"Come on Kazu-chan, you know you can go faster. Moreover, you are using a lighter weapon than me so moving around is easier for you," Ama said kicking the ground and jumping above me dropping straight at me. The barrel pointed at me to shoot.

BANG
As if her words motivated me, I quickly stepped aside dodging the shot, and sheath my blade. The moment Ama got into range; I drew my blade slashing at her horizontally but she dodged it mid-air like it was nothing and kicked my legs making me lose balance and fall to the ground. Just as my head was about to hit the ground, I felt two hands grabbing me and holding me up.
The next thing I know my face was buried in two soft pillows and a feeling of warmth overcame me. Having no longer any energy mentally for this, I held onto the person and buried my face deeper. At this very moment, I was weak, physically and mentally. Losing Ai, meeting Yuna again, having to realize just how powerless I am against Dominic, and feeling completly helplessness with the only option being to turn into a vampire.
I just can’t…I am not as mentally strong as anyone would believe me to be and I will not pretend. Ai was someone who was giving me some stability to my mind and stopping me from having such thoughts. Before even meeting her, I felt miserable day in and night. I would feel bored in everything I did with my only escape being works of other writers that would take up most of my time so I could block away all these thoughts. The mere presence of Ai in my life stopped that but with her just suddenly taken away from me…and Natsumi-san being so far away…I don’t know what to do.
I felt a gentle hand on ruffling my hair and I melted under the touch. I didn’t want this feeling to go away.
"It must be hard, coming to terms with all the recent events. No matter how you try to even hide what is going on, you are still just a little boy who has to deal with all this," Ama said in a gentle voice while caressing my hair. "Now, now, it’s alright. I know whatever you did was out of emotions and many times they take over. Trust me, I know that better than anyone else. So if you ever need comfort from me, you can pass by anytime. It is the least I can do for my little Kazu-chan."
Her words filled with such kindness and her voice putting my mind to ease just made me lean more into her embrace. I don’t even know if I should be doing this but I didn’t care. I just wanted something or someone to hold on to. Like always, may it be anyone. I don’t want to lose that last thread that I hold onto for my dear life. I stay calm in dangerous situations not just because I have faced them before in my life. No, that doesn’t change anything. Every time the body will command me to run away or go in a panic. What truly calms me is my trust in the few people I hold dear in my life. I rely on them way more than I thought myself to be.
I really…need this…
