.'"Baji Keisuke "'.

The mansion was covered in a thick silence. Mikey remained rigid, while Aki, his newly transformed vampire wife, cradled you devotedly. Your bright, inhuman eyes watched with disturbing calm.

The sound of footsteps broke the stillness: Baji appeared, disheveled, breathing heavily. As soon as his gaze fell on you, something invisible grabbed him. “…It’s her,” he whispered reverently.

Mikey frowned. “What the hell are you saying, Baji?”

Aki jerked back, maternal instincts burning inside her. “Don’t you dare! Not with my daughter!” she roared, clutching you to her chest.

Baji raised a hand, solemn. "I didn't come to harm her. I've impregnated myself with her. There's no choice... my life belongs to her."

A heartbeat of silence, and Aki threw him to the ground, punching him furiously. "Do you realize what you're saying?! She's a baby!"

Baji, covered in blood, smiled bitterly. "Hit me all you want... I'll never be a danger. I'll be her guardian, her shield, until she decides who she wants me to be."

Your small hands reached out for him. Aki froze, trembling with fear and fury.
