♕ 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.]

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. ]

[He struggled to even nod at her words. He wanted disappear right now. Though, not really, he always enjoyed Ishtar's warm embraces. But he didn't need all the hospital staff and patients to see Ishtar clinging to him like this. What if people thought they were lovers?

Then again, what was so wrong if people saw them as lovers? It wasn't like Darres was here right now to argue against it. He'd lie if he'd say he never wanted Ishtar to see him the same way she saw Darres. But for now, this was wrong.]

People are staring. Behave yourself, Princess.

[It was difficult to keep a stern voice as he warned Ishtar when her body was pressed so closely to his. It used to be alright when she hugged him before, because he didn't know he had feelings for her back then. Now, it made it so hard for Duzell to keep that reddening away from his cheeks. If only he could kill everyone inside the emergency room, it would make things easier for Duzell.

But for now, they must escape this crowd. Because he knew that Ishtar will chew on him if he killed everyone out of embarrassment. Not that he'd let her stop him.]

Can we go now?

Edited 2014-07-04 14:44 (UTC)

[ Ishtar just cuddled him more than usual and finally lets him go after a few minutes. Ishtar didn't care what people think because he was precious to her. She wouldn't even explain it anymore. IT's whatever people wanted to assume, she supposed. She and Duzell knew the truth at least.

She chuckles. ]

Let them stare. I'm so tired of caring what others thing.

[ She shrugged falling back and not hanging to him anymore but she was amused. ]

One more thing a we're good.

[If only Duzell could hide his face, he would. But he didn't want to push Ishtar as well, because that would embarrass her. Better him than her. So he just had to endure. His head falling defeated on her shoulders. If he didn't care for the people staring, this would actually be nice. Ishtar was so warm and her cuddles felt nice. It made Duzell feel safe, as always.]

People might think I'm your lover...

[He whispered with his brows furrowing slightly. No. That was a dangerous assumption. He could not assume such things. He can't assume such a wonderful state of being - he can't let himself assume that he could ever be a replacement for Darres.

When she pulled away, he instantly looked at everyone with a deadly glare. Which happily made them all go back to their stations.]

What is it?

[ Ishtar wouldn't let him do that but she knew how he was so she didn't say anything as she hugged him. It would be weird if she told him the truth, that she knew of his feelings for her and that she had wavered a little on her own feelings towards Darres. It was also that she wasn't the real Ishtar. It didn't make sense to be with Darres if she wasn't even Ishtar to begin with? She was this Ishtar, who loved and cared for her friends and family-- who grew up from the sorrow and the pain and who also knew of the vampire king's feelings towards her, yet she had not once brought it up. Ishtar wanted Duzell to feel safe when he was around her. She wanted to prove she could protect him, even if it was painful. ]

They can think whatever they like. It doesn't matter. Doesn't it sound fun?

p She chuckled softly, though half hearted as she pats his head a bit at his words. She had always loved Darres and will always be in love with him, but let's face it, she was not going to see him anymore. He wasn't going to magically come here. She was not letting her hopes take the best of her rational thought. ]

Humm... just seeing a little girl. I promised I'd make her paper flowers. Ichiru showed me a long time ago.

[That was received with an icy glare from Duzell.]

What in the world are you spouting?

[He keeps both arms folded across his chest as he looked at Ishtar. This woman had too many ideas for her own good. Rather, she was so care free. He's realizing even more why Darres and Sir Keld would always freak out with Ishtar. She was said crazy things. And yet he can't deny the redness on his face as he turned his gaze at something else.]

Stop saying ridiculous things!

[He took a few measured breaths to regain his composure. Seriously, his heart can't take this much time with Ishtar. It was still very difficult to think of what the woman was thinking about.

But at the mention of the task, Duzell just looked up at her slowly.]

Why?

[ Whatever Duzell. Ishtar just does what she wants. ]

Well, if people ask it would be weird to have to explain all the above that I cannot say aloud.

[ She shifted as she glanced at him. Ishtar was always full of bad ideas Duzell, don't you know that? She's really good at it as well. ]

I am not saying anything bad. You make it seem like it's super bad.

[ She giggled before standing and walking towards the last patient. ]

Because it's nice to do for people. Children are cute.

You just have too little care in the world, Princess.

[He snapped. Both his eyes closed shut as if to shut away any thoughts of her. At that moment. Seriously, he doesn't know if it is a good thing that she's with Ishtar that very moment.]

Lies.

[He huffed as if truly believing it. Though really, he just gave her a quick answer so he can rest while he's waiting for her to be done with her patient.]

Of course. This isn't Pheliosta. Why should I care about anything?

[ Besides people and taking care of people. She smiled at him. ]

Well, I guess I care about the people more than anything to be honest.

[ She went over to her patient while leaving him with that thought. She didn't seem to care too much if he called her a liar. It meant a lot for her to do things for other people. It didn't matter what it was. ]

[If only Duzell can roll his eyes at her. Sadly they were closed at the moment. He wanted so badly to tell everyone that he doesn't know Ishtar sometimes. But there are times when she had her moments. So instead, he just sighs while sitting down.

For a moment, Duzell simply rested his eyes. Contemplating on their life ahead. Can they really handle everything together? Both of them so used to having everyone serve their every needs. When they escaped that life, it was always just at a whim and not out of necessity.

When she came back, Duzell's ruby eyes just slowly rose to meet Ishtar's gaze.]
