You Will Only Be Mine-Chapter 230: Something’s wrong

"You seem strangely excited about this I must say," I commented and Meme laughed while patting my back hard. Wow, he is really strong.

"Ahahaha, you will understand once you get more into vampire hunting Kazuki. I can speak for myself at least by saying that I enjoy a good battle with a strong enemy. Being an S-rank hunter means I far surpass many of the normal vampires that you find here so fighting them is kind of a bore even when there are tons of them," he said. "It’s just as fun as crushing a big heap of ants under your feet."

"I think I understand what you are trying to say," I said though not getting to understand his message but I understood one thing. Meme loves a good battle.

We started to walk towards the entrance, it was dimly lit and Meme was the one to enter first with Hotori-sa. Hiroto and Akito were behind us and Yuna along with Akira were standing next to me. It was more like a defence squad that we had surrounding ourselves which did make it a lot safer. As we kept walking down, the stairs felt never-ending going deeper and deeper into the ground spiralling over and over.

"These are a lot of stairs I must say," Akito said and we all nodded our heads in agreement. "Do you vampires love their stairs? Or is this a Dominic thing?"

"Well…not really, the sole reason why Father made so many stairs is I guess to slow down any pursuit of any vampire hunter. Otherwise, we normally get moved to our rooms with the help of the guards," Yuna explained. "They all have abilities similar to Akirra-san."

"So, vampires can have the same abilities too?" I asked and Akira nodded her head.

"Yes Kazuki-sama, it is solely dependent on which vampire’s blood is used to convert you. The abilities are all carried in our blood," she explained.

"Interesting," Hotori-san exclaimed and we continued walking downstairs.

Finally, the stairs spiralling downwards ended and right before us was something even worse. Another step of stairs, but this time, spirally upwards.

"Okay this has to be a joke," Hiroto exclaimed in frustration. "Why do there have to be so many stairs?"

I let out a sigh and looked at Akira, she immediately understood what I was getting at and nodded her head. Thus, in the blink of an eye, we were already at the top of the stairs. Everybody looked surprised as they couldn’t wrap their head around what just transpired as all eyes fell on us. I just shrug my shoulders and let Akira explain what just happened.

"This is part of my ability," Akira said in a monotonous voice.

"Could you have not done it earlier?" Meme said looking amused.

"I wasn’t ordered to by Kazuki-sama," Akira explained and Meme chuckled.

We then looked right ahead of us as a giant door stood before us. Meme started cracking his knuckles and made a fist out of his hand. He charged right at the door at full speed and right before his hand could make contact with the door, it opened up making him stumble a little but he was able to get back on his feet quickly. He drew out his great sword again which I still wonder how he can even hold with just one hand but the muscularity of this man gives me all the answers I need.

On the other side of the door was an open room, an open one honestly. It was empty with nothing in it except the many ominous doors right before us. I could feel the presence of a large number of vampires behind each door but couldn’t quite get the entire count. One thing I knew for sure was that the vampires were too many for my liking.

"I see you have great stamina," we heard the same voice Dominic right behind us. He stood at the edge o closed histh his cold eyes stright into our souls. "Or should I be saying, great help from your allies? Right, Akira?"

I looked at Akira and she held her head down with a scared frown on her face. Just the look of his face was enough to make me want to jump at him with full force and rip his heart out but I knew it would be suicidal.

"Well then, let’s begin the actual show," Dominic said.

SNAP

THUD

CREAK

The loud sounds of the doors beginning to open right behind us showed hundreds of red eyes peering from behind it hiding in the shadow of the dark room. The little windows that were somewhat giving some light into the rooms were covered completely leaving pitch black the only thing we saw in the room. Thanks to my slowly turning into a vampire, the dark wasn’t too much of a problem for me.

But I couldn’t say the same for the others….

"Put on your night vision goggles everyone," Meme said.

BANG

BANG

I heard gunshots behind me only to see the twins trying to shoot at Dominic but he still stood there unscathed. He had the same annoying, calm expression on his face with his eyes closed.

"No way, how did they not hit you?" the twins said in surprise. "We are sure we hit you right in the heart."

Dominic just stood there listening to them and opened his eyes. "Yes, you certainly did. You are very skilled in craft I must say but you forgot to account for one thing."

I felt a cold hand holding my head. "I may be faster than the bullets you shoot at me."

"Wha- "

Before I could finish even a word, I felt a heavy force pulling me along with it towards one of the doors. Below me, all the vampires looked over jumping to get a bite out of me but they were instantly pushed down by something. The hand holding my head gripped it harder and I screamed in the pain feeling my head getting crushed. We entered a different room and I was thrown with full force at the wall. It all happened so quickly that I couldn’t process the severity of the situation right now. I quickly held both my hands before me and braced for impact.

"ARGH!" I yelled as I could hear some of the bones in my body break due to the force I was throwing towards the wall. Right over me, I could see the face of Dominic looking down at me. His eyes were as if analysing me in my sorry state on the ground.

I tried to get up but my bones were repairing but only slowly so I was still in a lot of pain. I grit my teeth in wince in pain as I slowly get up. But all my efforts would be futile as Dominic pushed me down on the floor breaking some more of my ribs. I coughed some blood out and looked at Dominic whose calm expression started getting wicked. I could see a creepy smile form on his face as if he was enjoying putting me through this pain.

"I should commemorate your bravery Kazuki-kun, after what happened the last time you stepped into this place, you have a lot of courage to come back," he said pressing further on my chest as I heard more of my ribs crack.

"AARGH!!" I yelled in pain.

"Yes, that’s it Kazuki-kun, suffer more for me," he said in a voice filled with pure malice. "Show me more of this wicked pained expression of yours."

"FUCK YOU!" I shouted and got hit right in the face with Dominic’s heel breaking my nose instantly. "UGH!"

"Now, we don’t talk to our elders that way do we Kazuki-kun? Didn’t your parents teach you that?" he asked in a mocking tone.

I wanted to say something but my face was blocked by Domini’s foot. "Go on, say something!" he said stomping on my face again. Then again, and again, and again, and again. He kept stomping my face over and over and I didn’t even have the chance to wince or shout in pain because the force making an absolute mess out of every part of my face. My jaw got broken, there were cracks in my skull and my nose broke over and over. The rest of my body finally healed but I didn’t get the time to slip out of the place to avoid the barrage of his attacks.

Finally, he stopped and moved away shaking my blood off his feet. He crouched down and moved his hand over my cheek getting my blood on his fingers and he licked it. An ecstatic expression got on his face. "You see now Kazuk-kun? This is where we both stand. Me right here on my own two feet and you laying there for nothing but to be tortured by me. So why then? Why do I still see that glare in your eyes never leaving?"

I pulled myself away from him and rested my back against the wall. I grabbed my jaw and put it back in place as it slowly started healing. All the cuts and the broken bones were healing as time went on. But my eyes never stopped glaring at Dominic.

"Good," he said and stood up looking amused. "Oh, that’s very good. Finally, something that can keep me amused. Hahahahaha."

He started laughing like a maniac.

"Finally!" he shouted and looked at me. "Come at me Shiba Kazuki, with everything you got!"

"DOMINIC!!" I yelled the moment my face finally healed and charged at him.
