"These feelings of not having a purpose...they are natural, because everyone wants to have a purpose whether it's to a cause or just to someone."
Snow let out a hearty laughter at Sora's response. His feathers plumed with the laughter as Snow kept his gaze on the boy. Truly this pure-blood was something interesting for the way he stared at him. The confusion, whether anyone could tell if Sora was or wasn't, was evident to Snow. He could see it in the black abyss of his eyes and this only added to the laughter. Settling down, he was about to continue when the ring of a phone echoed throughout the rooftop. He glanced at Sora as he picked it up. He cocked his head to the side in confusion when the pure-blood mentioned something about keeping her safe. Oh, so there was someone else important to this vampire. This Kaede seemed to be very important to Sora, and Snow's eyes only gleamed with amusement.
"You should know that I am not lying Sora. I might not know you, or your history, but I can see the emptiness in your eyes. An empty being, a soulless husk, can still have someone love it. How they choose to receive it, that is up to them," and with that, Snow left. He would leave the vampire alone for now. He did not need to intrude on the vampire's personal business and he wasn't going to pry any further. He knew how to keep his distance.
Asuka was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of Haruka's voice. She smiled at the girl's response. If she had known how true those words were, she would understand why her head felt like that. What took Asuka by surprise was the next string of sentences flowing from the girl's mouth. Asuka's eyes softened greatly as she contemplated the words. Everyone has a purpose, it just takes a bit of time to discover that. But then again, at the same time, Asuka had felt the same at one point. What was her purpose? She was the first of her kind, or at least she thought so. A being in between light and dark, what purpose could she possibly serve to anything, let alone anyone? She sighed as she sat at the corner of Haruka's bed, grasping the girl's hand as she noticed the faint amount of blood the girl had drawn from herself.
"It's natural for anyone to feel ask those types of questions. I believe that everyone has a purpose. While it is true, only one person can do so much, it is enough for them to be recognized as important to something else. Whether that something along the way becomes someone, we all have a purpose," Asuka stated. Her heart was heavy, she could see that much in Haruka as she glanced at the red-head. It was a shame for someone, especially a human, to feel such things. It only caused Asuka to want to protect this girl more. Whether she would allow her to, it was up to Haruka, but she would still protect her from the shadows if it came down to it. She sighed, releasing the girl's hands before cupping her face with both hands. She forced Haruka to stare at her and continued.
"That is where you are wrong. A wound to the heart can be healed. It might be an unorthodox way of healing, but it can still be mended. We just have to have the courage to see what exactly it is that our hearts need," she sighed. This was a feeling all to well Asuka knew. Deep down, her heart had been scarred by her mother when she left. Asuka knew it wasn't her mothers fault, at least now that she is older she does. But that scar had been healed thanks to her uncle and her brother. She shook her head slightly as she released Haruka's face. The last piece of information still rang in Asuka's head. Born to feel pain? That was truly something she had often wondered herself, but that pain...it became tolerable. Slowly, she was finding something else to fill that pain with, or rather, she was learning to lean on someone for the pain to go away.
"Death, life, pain, pleasure, these all coincide with each other. Remember this, everyone dies, even those who are deemed immortal. We are never truly alive unless we have someone to share a life with. Pain becomes tolerable and so does the notion of death because in the end, we didn't take the secrets to our graves, but we shared them with someone. No one wants to feel pain, but if we never felt pain to begin with, how would we ever know what pleasure would feel like?" she stated as she grasped Haruka into an embrace. This girl, even though Asuka felt nothing but remorse for biting her, was slowly becoming important to her...just like Sora. He was important to her and it was a feeling she couldn't quite understand. All they ever did was argue or insult each other, but why did that matter so little to her? Their interactions, regardless if she had shown it or not, had always made her smile.
There was a sick twisted part of her that had always enjoyed their little talks and she couldn't imagine what she would have done without them. Perhaps that was one of the reasons why his blood had seemed to sate her for the time being. Because he was her friend now. Even as this girls' blood flowed from the open wounds, Asuka made no notion to try and take it from her. Although she would like to, she just didn't feel the need to. She released Haruka from her embrace and smiled brightly at the girl.
"No one can change the past, but they can make the first step here and now into a better future. Will you allow me to be part of your future Haruka? As a friend?" she questioned, holding her hand out in what was an attempt for the girl to agree and shake it. Before she could get a response, there was a fluttering scent echoing throughout the halls and through the school. She knew this scent, it belonged to Rosenkruez. But why did it seem to be magnified? Like he had exploded and all of his blood had been smeared along the halls? She shook the scent from her senses. As alluring as the scent may have been, she was going to ignore it as much as she could. She didn't need to be lured into a dangerous situation again, especially with Haruka in front of her bleeding.
