While Shuichi could go a few days without feeding... he could not risk going a third night without doing so. Because if he does... he will enter that state, where his thirst for blood overtakes him. He would become a lot more greedy and aggressive... a side of him he hates and tries to prevent as much as possible. Right now, he was lurking around the more emptier streets of the city at this time of night, searching for prey... eventually, he would spot a figure up ahead, entering one of the more spacious alleys. Perfect, he thought to himself: now all he would need to do is sneak up from behind and knock them out. Drink as much blood as needed, then tend to the bites marks on their neck, carry them to a safe spot until they eventually wake up in the morning... the usual routine of the vampire when biting someone.
However.. Shuichi would make the grave mistake of following that person in particular. It was one of those accursed vampire hunters that he sometimes had to deal with. The hunter already knew he was being followed, intentionally luring Shuichi into the alley. The very second Shuichi was about to strike them from behind... the hunter swiftly turned around, and flashed the silver-backed mirror to his face.
"Urk-!?" He recoils in pain, hissing at he feels a burning sensation on his face and arms. "Gghhh...!!" Slamming his foot into chest to make Shuichi fall to the ground, the hunter then plants his foot against his chest once more, this time to keep him pinned down to the ground, as he continues flashing the mirror right in the vampire's face.
"A-Ahhh, gaaaah!!!" He tries shielding his face with his arms, but only that makes them burn even worse. His sleeves were slowly becoming tainted with red from blood, and was about to quickly summon one of the 'hands' made from shadow energy to try forcing this guy away... until he suddenly stopped, himself.
Why he did so.. he would eventually see why, when spotting a familiar figure in the corner of his eye. "....!" ("No...that couldn't be....")
Makoto...? Why was he out here so late at this, he thought to himself? But no, worse than that: if he spotted them... he would see Shuichi in his true form: ghostly gray skin, abnormal looking eyes and pointy ears. And the burn marks that were not caused by an actual weapon... he would see it all, and find out what he truly is...! "O...O-Oh no....n.. no, don't...d-don't come this way..." Don't see the monster that is your friend, he wanted to scream out..
