♕ A King's 1st Blood ♕ [Accidental Video]

[The video clicks and the feed begins with a quick red haze passing through it. It's hard to identify what it was since it was now deep within the owner's pocket. The feed appears to be in someone's pocket and had a clear view of Genessia Hospital's emergency ward. Right beside the owner was an old woman whom was slowly coming to her senses. If she wasn't in the emergency room, one would doubt that she was ill in the first place - because she looked perfectly healthy.]

Thank you, young man.. I mean doctor. I've never been better. I need to show you my appreciation!

There's no need for it.

But there is! I was half-beaten to death by those thugs who stole my money. But with your care, I don't even have a single wound or bruise in me. I wish I could pay you, but I have nothing of value left. Thank you, Doctor.

It doesn't matter. I'll have you discharged by daybreak.

[The woman still sounded frail but looked upon the doctor with great appreciation in her features. The doctor on the other hand sounded professional if not indifferent and cold. If only this woman knew that in exchange for healing her completely, he took some of her blood. Happily, the bandages that remained on her body, however small, hid the puncture marks well.]

*****

[It was a few minutes before daybreak. The doctor seemed to be filing the necessary paperwork to discharge most of his patients. In front of him was the head nurse for the night shift.]

Doctor Duzell, time to leave?

Yes. Endorse the rest of my patients to you know who.

[The head nurse seemed to find this amusing. In fact, he was laughing so hard. Duzell didn't mind him so much, since its mostly just the two of them watching over the hospital during night time, them and a few other nurses and lab technicians. Admittedly in the beginning, he found his cheery disposition to be too irritating. Though as the weeks passed by, he got used to it. He reminded Duzell of Yuujel.

Though Duzell did his best to handle all the priority patients for the evening, he always endorsed the rest of his patients to the same person. Not that he didn't think the other doctors were capable. Also, he could have finished all his patients for the evening since the job was relatively easy, but he was too lazy for that, and she knows it.]

Doctor Ishtar will throw a fit again! You should have seen her when you endorsed 30 patients all in one morning.

Really?

She had her hands full and no doctor could touch the patients and help her because of your endorsement! She wasn't exactly happy about it.

[Clearly this amused him to no end. His face did not show it, but he was certainly pleased with his actions. Perhaps this place was not as boring as he initially thought. In any case, this is all Ishtar's fault. Forcing him to work was a ridiculous idea. Where does she get the guts to tell a Vampire King he should work to earn money for rent? Sure she was the Princess of Pheliosta but he was still the Vampire King, Duzell. Wasn't she the one who was supposed to be providing for him? At least, that was their set-up back in their kingdom. He does everything else while she makes sure he has a cozy lifestyle. It wasn't set in stone, but that was how it was in the castle and Duzell got used to that.

Shortly after the nurse spoke, Duzell noticed that his communicator was blinking. Before the feed ends, it gives everyone a glimpse of Duzell's immaculate features, his long and shiny white hair and his hauntingly beautiful red eyes.]

Duzell, how many times did I tell you to stop doing this?!!!!

There are too many people! You're suppose to help me out here!

[ Ishtar lets out an exasperated sigh on the video feed as she called out to her vampire cat, tired and exhausted from using all of her magic on people. It's ridiculous. No matter how much practice she got, she was still sucking in the stamina area. Ishtar just finished another batch before wiping off the sweat on her face. ]

I'm only human okay?! Duzie tell me you're awake and not lazing around!

[She had left before Duzie could have finished his proper cat nap. He acknowledge her leave, but he remained snuggled against the pillows in his kyawl form.

A few hours later, he found himself woken up by a horde of complaints from Ishtar. He expected this of course. But he expected it to happen when she returned home to him, not over the feed. So before he grabbed his communicator, he changed back to his vampiric form. His eyes were still closed and he was wearing his usual sleeping attire - nothing except for his blanket.]

What?

[His voice was equally exasperated. Not because he was tired, but because his sleep was disturbed.]

Stop being a lazy bum for once and come down here. I told you to stop giving me all your work. I'm running out of magic. I'm not like you. I can't keep working like this Duzie...

[ She furrowed her brows, tired, and wanting to sleep herself but she needed to help pay for whatever work the vampire decided not to do. She wouldn't hear the end of it if it was unfinished. ]

Don't tell me you're sleeping...

Ugh... is Falan home?

[ Somehow it seemed a bit awkward on her end since Ishtar was adjusting to the new Duzell-- the real Duzell. She still hasn't told him about everything. ]

Oh? But weren't you the one who gave me that valiant speech about working, earning a living and helping the people of this city?

[Yet, he's stretching like a cat right now so he could get ready to leave. His eyes opened, but he found himself sprawled on their bed once more.

Seriously. What was he supposed to say, I wasn't sleeping? when it was too obvious that he was?

He didn't need Illsaide's water tricks to realize that Falan was indeed in their loft.]

In her bedroom.

As in you were suppose to do your workload Duzie...

[ She replied running a hand through her hair. You are sure a pain Duzell. she said work to help out not make her work to pay off your not work Duzell. Ishtar kept to herself mostly as she said that but it was awkward talking with him as if nothing ever happened between them. At least, not with this Duzell. The other Duzell was a whole different story, but her feelings needed to be sorted out somehow. ]

Good. Make sure she's okay for me please? Please come down here and help me unless you want me to pass out.

And I told you I didn't want to, didn't I?

[He's a lazy cat whom you pampered and spoiled to death. What did you expect?

So right now, he's trying to give Ishtar a soft smolder, to hopefully get himself excused from helping her.]

Make up your mind. I can't do both.

[Though really, the moment he had his apartment set-up and fully furnished, he had watched Falan like a bat that he was.]

You're the one that icked a large ass apartment that cost us twice my work load. You tell me that when you are bringing the money in Duzie.

[ Ishtar replied giving him lip for almost everything. She might have spoiled him too much but that didn't mean she would let him get away with all of it. ]

...Just check on her on your way out. I really need you to help me, please.

[ She weakly smiled. ]

We have lots to talk about too.

Do you honestly believe I would allow neither you or I to live in that shabby apartment with those awful looking... ninjas? We can't even have a room to ourselves. What's more, there's 2 guys which I don't fully trust with your care either.

[He gave her his usual glare. Not out of disdain, but an acknowledgement that he was on his way. It meant getting out of bed early for him, but he found it harder and harder to say 'NO' to the royal brat as of late. He clicks of the feed. He checks on Falan whom seemed to be busy with her craft. She seemed fine and before he left, he made sure all the windows and doors were locked.

Five minutes later after he cut the feed, an eerie light fell in front of the hospital's east wing. Moments later, Duzell appeared behind Ishtar with his awful white doctor's coat on.]

You're doing so well though.

Gaara and Temari are not bad people. Sai's someone important to Gaara. I know Gaara and the other you were kind at each other's necks but it was fine you know?

[ Ishtar replied shaking her head. Why would he even question that. ]

Gaara and his friends are important to me. He's like a brother, so please don't mind him too much.

[ She replied giving him a smile. When he did agree to it the smile widened. Sorry, Duzell she really missed his presence for the past god knows how long. She looks at him flatly as he comes in all in his lab coat. ]

...

Duzie I'mma pass out from magic exhaustion!

That means nothing to me, Princess. Perhaps if they would act as your royal guards, maybe I'd care more, but I don't. Gaara could recognize me all he wants, it still remains that I was not the person whom he knew. Besides, it took time and lots of money, but the only important thing was that I could ensure that neither you or I didn't stay at such a crowded place.

[This woman had too many loved ones. People whom he shouldn't care about at all. Though how can he remain irritated when he gave her that smile. The smile that either meant true happiness or something mischievous was going to happen with his help.]

Just like Falan is a sister to you?

[He tried his best to ignore that next expression she was giving him as he peered over her shoulders to look at the list of patients she had remaining.]

Not bad. Only 3 more to go.

Gaara has saved my ass many times. I owe a lot to him. His sister is really working hard as well. You don't have to care but at least understand how I feel.

[ She frowned but she dealt with it anyway, since he was right, they were getting crowded in the short time and Ishtar often slept at Gaara's anyway. She keeps working hard with eh rest of her patients while she waits for him. ]

Yes, he's family.

[ She replied smiling wider at his words. ]

That's still a lot not that I mind but I'm losing energy here.

Will it make you feel better if I said I won't kill them or anything similar?

[He waltzed towards one of the operating tables within the emergency room and made quick work of a boy's stab wound while he kept his attention at Ishtar. He won't say anything more about the detail on family. He understands her sentiments, and will simply have to make sure that if and when danger comes Ishtar's way, Gaara won't be a reason for her to falter. Just like how Darres was used by Lassen to his advantage.

He turned his gaze shortly at one of the nurses after he patched up the wound and ordered her to bring the boy to a private room already. Sure he used his blood magic a lot, but he spent most evenings reading on actual medical texts - since he did pass most of his non-critical patients to Ishtar. Hence, throughout the past weeks, Duzell learned enough to mend wounds without blood magic. However, this did not mean he no longer used blood magic, he was still lazy after all.]

You need not use your magic all the time.

[He glanced back at her with a confident and proud expression on his features. The same face he held when he was about to utter a snide remark about one of her flaws.]

Then again, this is why you should have practiced more when you had a chance.

Edited 2014-06-02 14:18 (UTC)

I trust that you won't do anything to them, but Gaara doesn't like you so he might not hold back sometimes if something bad happens with you. That's all. I know you wouldn't hurt them.

[ Ishtar was doing a combination of healing and first aid on top of other procedures that nurses and paramedics had to do from time to time. Of course she'd be exhausted. Her magic is at full power so it made it easy to do most of it at least. ]

I didn't. Tsunade taught me first aid, so I used it on the really small things. Healing magic works on the others since they were all bleeding pretty badly. I practiced for almost four years. That doesn't mean my stamina is gonna suddenly get better overnight. I'm still learning and Yujinn isn't here to make it better...

[ she furrowed her brows. ]

I'm not as ignorant and pathetic as I was those years ago, Duzie.

Well, I'll deal with it when that happens.

[Self-defense was always a good excuse. However, he was pleased to hear her vote of confidence. Not that he needed her to believe in him, but it certainly comforted the Vampire King.

When she spoke of the things that happened in the Facility which she mentioned before, he was at astounded. He didn't show it in his expression, but he was proud of her and he was sure that Yuujin would have been to. As always, Ishtar was selfless and helped others before herself.]

It'll get better, I'm sure.

I doubt that. You can grow in strength, but you're still Ishtar.

Sure you will.

[ as in please don't. Ishtar just sighs heavily as she looks at him. He's not going to let her win anything and he's still confident and cocky as ever. She's not even going to comment on that. ]

Yeah I know I will. It just needs more time than four years. Magic is a pain when you get a late start.

[ She muttered crossing her arms. ]

Yeah, yeah... should I take that as a compliment?

If you must, you can take it as a compliment. It doesn't hurt to assume.

[Duzell finally reached the last patient as he marvels at how easy it was to pull on Ishtar's emotions. No matter what experience she'll go through, at the end of the day, she was still the woman he adored.]

I wish I knew how that feels. I never needed to worry about restrictions with time.

[There was certainly a hint of amusement in his eyes as he spoke. The little girl in front of him tripped and scraped her knees. The injury didn't look serious. So he used the anti-septics on the side table and then used blood magic to close the wounds completely. After the nurse gave the girl a lollipop, he gazed back at Ishtar.]

Then again, I never wake up late for my classes.

Umm... sure I guess.

[ Ishtar works on her last few patients as well, keeping them bandaged nicely and patting them in the head. She told them it was going to be okay. ]

You know, this is fun sometimes, when I'm not dying from the extra load you throw at me.

[ She stretched a little as she glanced at him helping another boy. Somehow it was strange but he got used to it as soon as he got here. It was weird how they ran into each other again. They still haven't talked about a lot of things and Ishtar is avoiding the subject for weeks ]

...H-Hey, stop bringing up my problems. I wrote a whole apology letter for Yujinn when I got him mad and fell asleep after I wrote it! I also been taking notes and stuff.

Dying from the extra load? Don't exaggerate, Princess.

[As if he'd let that happen anyway. It was just fun to watch Ishtar get riled up over this matter. But since Yuujin wasn't here, he had to make sure Ishtar had some sort of training, even if she did complain a lot about it.

The nurses game him a pile of paperwork to sign, and he did so immediately. This was no work for a dreaded Vampire King. Yet somehow, he agreed with Ishtar. Keeping himself busy like this prevented himself from being bored. But he could only wonder if this was something he could permanently do. He finished the paperwork and tossed it at the nurses. He had to hiss at them so they would stop looking at him like he was some sort of cute kitten they needed to ogle.

Then he turned to look at Ishtar. He gave her an expression that echoed with disbelief.]

You didn't need to write the letter if you were always on time and got grades as good as Vord or myself.

I might as well be!

[ show some sympathy meanie!! Ishtar frowns as she finishes up where she was and falls backwards sighing loudly. Man, as much as she loved people and children. She needed a break every now and then. Ishtar sheepishly snickered at the looks he was getting. People ogled a lot and Duzell should be flattered but Ishtar knew how annoying that can be. ]

It was an accident that time and hey I scored a lot better than before Duzie. I don't get perfect scores but they're actually passing numbers!!

[Duzell sighed upon hearing that. Sometimes Ishtar often joked about serious matters which left a bad taste in his mouth. If it were him before he met Ishtar, he'd laugh it off and probably volunteer to end her misery permanently. But now, he found protecting Ishtar as one of his most valued priorities. So he didn't look too kindly at her complaints.]

[He slowly walked towards her. She really did look tired, but perhaps it was simply the routine. He watched Ishtar fall on her back to rest a bit. He looked at her curiously. His hands clasped together, and his back hunched to meet her gaze. He didn't relent with his dauntless expression.]

As they should be. Even children can get passing marks on those exams.

[ Ishtar just shrugged her shoulders and stretched like a cat for a moment longer before pulling herself on her feet. She might as well go restock all the things she needed to restock since the hospital ran out of things here and there and needed things from the lower floors.

She looked up at him as he hunched over to meet her gaze. That was always a bit too close for comfort but Ishtar got used to him invading her personal space most of the time. The guy walks around naked when they're alone and sleeps next to her as a cat. It could't get anymore personal than this. ]

H-Hey. I'm trying okay. I never had a reason to get serious about that stuff, but you know a lot of things happened and I do want to work harder.

And you never considered being a Princess to a nation, something serious?

[He would actually yawn right now, if it wasn't too rude. The distance between them was too small for that. Duzell was up all night with his rounds and he wanted nothing else but to continue his nap. If only he could turn into a kyawl form right now so that he can rest on Ishtar's lap. Instead, he sits closely beside her with his body barely touching the backrest of his chair.]

There's a Pizzeria 3 blocks from our apartment. The smell is intriguing and I've never tried it. I don't mind if you treat me to some of their offerings.

That as the past you know? I learned a lot of things since then. I mean it.

[ She looked at him seriously as she said that. ] Please, said the guy that wanted to destroy Phelios' Kingdom. If you kill his reincarnation, you'll be a happy king won't you?

[ She half joked to him as he said that to her. Ishtar was leaning back a bit but keeping her eye on him as she always did, unfazed by the fact that he was extremely close to her face again. She watched as he sat beside her, sleepy. He was right though. Vampires like him don't die in the sun but they still get tired. ]

...You want to eat pizza?

[ Ishtar almost chuckled her lungs out. ]

Sure Duzie.

[ He'll get a big hug for that. ]

I'll just have to see the change for myself then.

[He gave her a flat expression and answered without even thinking twice about his answer.] Of course I would. I'd kill him in a heartbeat. If he showed up here, I'll end him quickly or in a manner that will suit my satisfaction.

[Then she suddenly hugged him. Out in the open. Where nurses, medical staff, patients and orderly could see them. He tried to give them all menacing looks, but he couldn't deny the warmth of his cheeks which he was pretty sure everyone had noticed upon the contact.]

Will you behave yourself!

[He looked at her with a menacing glare. He should clearly push Ishtar away. He should disappear on spot. And yet something about that hug made Duzie stay and uncharacteristically move closer to that hug. He badly wanted to push her away because he didn't want everyone to see him this close to her. And yet, he couldn't pull away because he wanted this. He always loved her embrace. And a tiny part of him was happy that other people could see how important his existence is to her.]

Edited 2014-06-16 21:13 (UTC)

Of course, I'll show you what i'm capable of I promise.

[ She replied giving the vampire a huge grin as he looked at her flatly. She didn't say anything other then that. She was happy for seeing him again and seeing that he was unscathed and mostly well if not for the sunlight that was making him drowsy. ]

I am behaving myself. You're not embarrassed are you?

[ She giggles as she hugs him even tighter for that comment. It was that he was important to her that she could do this. She missed Darres a lot but her emotions were always so confusing now. She didn't know what to feel about him and she didn't want to ask him unnecessary things. She didn't want to lose her family again. Falan was with her and now Duzie as well. ]
