He digs at his throat obscuring the tattoo. The pain a welcome change to the raw hunger clawing at his throat making it impossible to even think! His stomach churns and his form convulses bringing him to his knees. His hands slam forward breaking the fall as his instincts single out the faint sound of a heart beating in the distance. He covers his ears to block out the sound but it doesn't go away!

Starvation.

It turned vampires mad. And Zero had been starving himself for far too long.

His body screams in agony, forcing his instincts to the surface as hunger grips him in its claws forcing his heart rate up, the sound mixing with the steady one in the distance. It was close. If he--

"Stop it!"

He grits his teeth and his breathing falls into ragged breaths. He's losing control. Beneath the blood and raw skin, his tattoo begins to glow and his eyes pulse a deep red. He's slipping, falling off the ledge of sanity and the monster lurking inside raises its head and tests the will that always kept it at bay, and for the first time it come away with a grin. The Hunter lost more than his memories, he lost his strength to defy it.

Time passes and his throat begins to heal while that beating heart echoes in his mind drawing the vampire toward the source, a wide grin marring its lips when its meal falls within its sights.

Honoka doesn't really have much awareness of her surroundings. She's on her way back from picking up prayers from Enyo's shrine in the evening, humming a tune to a some show's theme song. They did a prayer, maybe if she keeps bringing them home Bakugou'll do more of them. There she is, completely oblivious to the vampire that's stalking her.

[moonlitknight]

Like a shadow in the dark, he moves past her with fluid grace and emerges ahead, stepping into her line of sight only when she draws closer.

"That's a nice song."

[purehonkproject]

She doesn't notice him until he's right there. Even still, she doesn't seem that worried about it, even if she does jump in surprise.

"You think so? It's the opening to a show I really like!"

[moonlitknight]

"Is it?"

He steps into the moonlight, and blood glints off his otherwise pristine throat.

"What show?"

He steps closer, his ears picking up the sound of blood rushing through her veins.

[purehonkproject]

"It's this anime about ido-" She pauses as she manages to catch the blood on his throat.

"Um... are you okay? Are you bleeding...? You should go see somebody about that!"

[moonlitknight]

His eyes fall down to look at her, amused by her remark.

"It healed."

[purehonkproject]

It... healed? But it's on his throat? That's probably one of the worst places to get hurt, right?

"E-even still, you should get somebody to look at it! There's no way neck injuries can be good for you!"

[moonlitknight]

He watches her with eyes of the Hunter, the vampire keeping a hold on its instincts, willing to wait just a little longer because it knows, blood laced with adrenaline tastes the sweetest.

"I already know what I need."

[purehonkproject]

She tilts her head, tapping on her cheek.

"You do?" She looks more confused than worried for the moment, watching him intently.

[moonlitknight]

He reaches out then, letting his index finger glide across her neck.

"Don't you?"

[purehonkproject]

Okay, as bad as her danger sense is, she'll take a step back, looking a bit more suspiciously at him.

"Uh... I don't...?"

[moonlitknight]

He moves to place a single finger on her chin to push her head up to meet red eyes.

"You don't what?"

[purehonkproject]

She's never seen anybody with that color red eyes before. It's not like she's against strange eye colors, but there's something that feels a little dangerous about this and she's not so sure she should stay this close.

"I... don't know what you need...?"

[moonlitknight]

A shuffle of wind and he's gone, his movement too fast for the eye to catch but he doesn't go far. No, he's behind her, leaning down to sniff at her neck like an animal taking in the scent.

"Do you want to know?"

[purehonkproject]

She jumps when he's suddenly behind her. That's not normal, right? She's sure that's not normal and she's absolutely sure she's in danger, but she also has no idea how to get out of this.

"I'm-I'm pretty sure I'm okay not knowing, mister!"

[moonlitknight]

His smile spreads, drinking up every little hiccup in her heart rate.

"Too late."

His hands land on her shoulders, caging her in a solid hold.

[purehonkproject]

"H-Hey! Let go of me!" She doesn't expect it to work, but she'll try and struggle out of his grasp all the same.

[moonlitknight]

The more she struggles, the more her heart picks up, which further incites the beast inside, driving him to violence. His fingers lengthen and he draws a paper-thin cut across her neck drawing a drop of blood which he quickly bends down to savor.

[purehonkproject]

Her heart is pounding in her chest as she tries to get away. She's not strong enough to push him off so she's stuck there wishing somebody, anybody would come to rescue her.

[moonlitknight]

He licks off the blood, his incisors scrapping against her throat. "You should of run away from the start," a dark whisper delivered into her ear, before he suddenly sweeps a hand through her hair, pulling it back along with her pretty little head, exposing her neck.

[purehonkproject]

She whimpers, trying to pull away. But she's just not strong enough to leave his grip.

[moonlitknight]

He can practically hear her heart spilling into her throat, the sound luring him in, but its the scent that mixes in with her blood that seals her fate. Fear and adrenaline, it laces her blood with a sweetness he craved.

A long lick up her neck and Zero sank his teeth in, going deep as he pulls her into his arms in a sweet embrace. His instincts flare to life, the vampire barely able to control the intoxicating feeling of feeding on hot blood still pulsing with life.

[explodokill]

Never one to resist being in a bad mood, Bakugou has taken to sulking around the Far Shore, scouting out his new home. It's strategic and it kills time when he's not being forced to answer prayers by that damn... terrified partner of his.

...Wait, what? He suddenly breaks into a run. He knows he's trying to find her, he knows that she's in trouble, although he doesn't know why.

He had believed he was simply walking with no purpose, but he'd been following her fear the whole time, guided by the line of their connection from the moment Honoka and Zero met.
And there! There she is, his shinki, dumb microphone girl getting herself into a load of trouble with some big guy--

"Hey, shitface! Get away from her!"

Eloquence was never a requirement for becoming a hero.

[purehonkproject]

It's fear and horror and wishing so hard that somebody would come and save her. She's weak as Zero starts draining her blood. She's so tired and there's so little she can do to make him leave her alone. She pushes weakly against him. But with her rapidly losing blood there's incredibly little she can do.

"Ka... Katsuki..." She manages ever so weakly.

[moonlitknight]

The weak struggles go ignored along with the presence of another. He feels him there but the vampire dismisses him. He continues to gulp down her blood, the feel of it sliding down his throat too much of an intoxication to focus on anything but the girl in his arms who didn't have nearly enough to satisfy his thirst.
