"Well, we didn't catch the little guy," Yuu explained when they'd reached the lady farmer's front door, "but we did see him. He's alive and well... and kind of a punk. Totally swiped our bait and ran." Yuu grinned and nudged Mika's arm, and the vampire managed a small smile as well.
"If you give us another steak," Mika began, wishing the woman wouldn't flinch at the sight of his fangs, but it couldn't be helped. "We can probably find him again, and catch him this time. We're pretty up to the task." When the woman's face relaxed into a hopeful smile, Mika found himself feeling something quite different than the usual disgust he felt for the humans that his clawing, hissing brain convinced him were just using Yuu. He felt a strange sense of happiness that he couldn't quite explain. He'd never once regretted running off with Yuu so they could live together in peace without the war on their backs--but now, he could even call himself happy to be there with other people, too.
