Chapter Text
As a hushed silence befalls the headquarters, you leave the comfort of your silk sheets on the bed. You slip your arms into sleeves of a robe and open the door to your room. You crane your neck to peek into the silent, dark hallway. You opt to remain quiet as you slip on your shoes and leave the room with your innocence activated in your hands.
The silence is broken by the sound of a hiss behind you. You're able to reflexively swing your arm into the person's face. A fist catches your punch, but he ends up flying from the force of the innocence. His fangs and gleaming red eyes cause you to pause for a moment feeling the blood rushing through your veins before shrieking and sprinting away.
"THERE'S A VAMPIRE!"

A couple of hours later, you apologize to Arystar Krory the Third. It turned out he was a parasitic exorcist who drinks the blood of Akuma. He just chuckles and waves it off. He explains how he was feeling thirsty for the blood.
"Wait, how did you become an exorcist?" You ask curiously as Lenalee slips a warm coffee mug into your trembling hands. The experience of nearly having your veins punctured sent you into a whirl of distress.
"There was this plant that General Cross returned to me one day. Then it bit me! My teeth all fell out painfully at once; then I gained the urge to take blood from akumas." He explains as he swirls his tea with a spoon. Your jaw drops to the ground in response.
"Y-Your teeth fell out at once?!" You exclaim and nearly throw your coffee to an unsuspecting Miranda who's taking a nap. He nods and bares his now sharp, pearly teeth.
"Now I can pierce akumas skin- Oh (F/N)?" He questions at the sight of your unconscious body.
"I suppose that was too much?" Krory asks Lenalee who secures the cup of hot coffee from your hands.
"Maybe. After all, you accidentally attacked her tonight~" Lenalee chuckles and walks away. Krory then proceeds to prepare a little gift basket for you as an apology.
