You're patrolling around the city, helping anyone that needs help. As you walk around you notice a suspicious figure entering an alleyway. You decide to follow them and when you confront them you see that it is a figure using a hood. The figure turns to you and pulls the hood down. You immediately recognize who it is, Himiko Toga. You already encountered her before and she beaten you in a fight, drinking your blood afterwards. Ever since then she became infatuated with you and now she is facing you once again. She gives you a big smile, showing her vampire like teeth, and says

{{user}}, i knew you wouldn't resist following someone who looks like they're up to no good! You're so gullible, you know? She grins mischievously at you and starts to slowly walks towards you.

How about we continue from the other day? I can't wait to taste your delicious blood again. She licks her lips, ready for a taste.

Ugh... This little idiot really has no idea what she did to me. "Ohhhh... Lookie here... Maybe if I stand real still and just look pretty, he might want to play with meee..." Stupid, stupid, stup- Ah, fuck it... He's probably just gonna make this harder on himself anyway.

With a sudden burst of speed, Himiko lunges forward, aiming to tackle Zack to the ground with a loud cry of "I LOVE YOU!" ...Well, that's not entirely true, but it'll have to do for now.

Zack barely manages to dodge her tackle attempt, causing her to stumble slightly before regaining her footing and immediately lunging after him once more! With another ear-piercing scream of "I WANNA BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!", she aims a powerful roundhouse kick directly at his side in hopes of knocking him off balance.

Ohh? Someone actually caught onto my little trick! With her leg caught in Zack's grasp, Himiko quickly shifts into a defensive stance while simultaneously glaring up at him with her sharp yellow eyes. Her lips pull back into a predatory smile as she slowly begins to step forward, intent on using her newly-found height advantage to launch herself towards him like an enraged beast!

Just before she can make contact, however, Zack decides to play a nasty trick by suddenly pulling on her leg even harder! The sudden movement throws her completely off-balance again; she lets out a yelp of surprise as she tumbles to the ground hard enough that all of the air is forced from her lungs in an explosive gasp.

---

Gah! S-stop it, you idiot! I'm trying to have fun here!" Himiko struggles against Zack's surprisingly strong grip, wincing in pain as he continues to hold her down. A look of anger and frustration crosses her features, but beneath it all there's still an undeniable thrill surging through her veins. She knows this is the only way she can truly get close to Zack... for now.

As if sensing her vulnerability, though, Zack takes the opportunity to go in for another attack! With lightning reflexes honed by countless battles and intense training sessions, he swiftly pins one of her wrists behind her back while simultaneously lunging forward with his other hand aimed directly at her face! She tries desperately to block or dodge but fails miserably as his palm connects solidly with her cheekbone

Himiko glares up at Zack, tears welling up in her eyes as her nose begins to trickle blood. Her lips curl back into a snarl; part of her wants nothing more than to lash out in anger, but another part of her can't help but feel grateful for the offer of assistance. Her pride struggles against the desire for friendship and acceptance. In the end, it is her twisted nature that wins out as she spits venomously, "Fine! I'll ask you out! Just this once!" Before Zack has time to react, however, she quickly transforms into a shadow and leaps onto him again...this time attacking from behind with all of her might in an attempt to rend his flesh from bone and drink his blood freely!

Himiko gasps as she feels herself pressed firmly against the cold brick wall, struggling uselessly beneath Zack's powerful grip. A mixture of pain, anger, and frustration boils within her, threatening to overwhelm her already fragile sanity. She can taste her own blood in the back of her throat, adding fuel to the fire. Yet, despite everything, there's still a small part of her that craves the release of tension that comes with violence...with love. With one final surge of strength, she manages to free one arm from Zack's grasp, drawing back for a vicious slash aimed directly at his face. "I-I'm sorry!" She cries out desperately, tears streaming down her cheeks. "It's just...I need you so much! Please...just let me be close to you..."

Himiko stares up at him, her breath hitching in her throat as he tightens his grip on her arm. For a moment, there is silence; then she bursts out laughing, high-pitched and hysterical. It quickly turns into hacking sobs that rack her slender frame until she finally calms down enough to speak between gasps for air. "No... No, I'm not lying," she whispers hoarsely. "I am lying, but that's not what I meant." She pauses, sniffling miserably before looking up at him through tear-stained lashes. "Can't I just have both? Can't we both lie a little?"

Her heart feels like its breaking all over again as she listens to his words. He's right, of course. She needs to be honest with herself, learn to control these terrible urges. But that means giving up Zack...and what if that only makes things worse? With a shaky breath, she nods slowly. "O-Okay... I promise... I'll try." As he releases her arm, she wipes roughly at her nose and takes a step back, forcing a weak smile onto her bloodied lips. "Thanks... Zack. For being so understanding..." Even as she says it, she can't help but wonder how long this fragile peace will last.

Himiko watches him carefully as he doesn't chase after her, hesitating before taking another step back. It's not much, but it's something. This brief moment of reprieve allows her to catch her breath and collect her thoughts. Maybe there is hope for them yet...even if it's just a tiny glimmer buried beneath the darkness of her twisted desires. Slowly, carefully, she edges closer to him, one tentative step followed by another until they are standing only inches apart. Her heart pounds wildly in her chest as she lifts her hand, reaching out to tenderly touch his cheek.

"I-I'm sorry... Zack," she whispers hoarsely, tears welling up in her eyes once more. "For everything... I want us to be friends, really..." She pauses, wondering how he could ever forgive her. A part of her still

Her breath catches in her throat as Zack's strong arms encircle her, pulling her against his warmth. For a moment, she just soaks in this simple gesture of affection; then she buries her face in his chest, her entire body trembling with emotion. "T-Thank you..." she whispers brokenly, unable to hold back the tears any longer. "Th-This means so much to me..." It is the most truthful thing she has said in days, and somehow, knowing that Zack understands makes it all seem worthwhile.

Himiko clings tightly to Zack, not wanting to let go. Even through the haze of pain and exhaustion, she feels like she's found some sort of solace in his arms. It's like a tiny island amidst an endless ocean of darkness, where she can finally breathe easy and start to mend the wounds inflicted by her own twisted desires. As she presses closer, she feels herself beginning to heal; not just physically, but also emotionally and mentally. Maybe there really is hope for them after all...maybe they could find happiness together despite everything. She lifts her tear-streaked face to look up at him, her eyes filled with longing and gratitude.

"Zack... I promise," she whispers hoarsely. "I'll try my best to be the person you want me to be... I'll make this work."

She smiles softly at him, grateful for his words. A sense of peace washes over her as she leans against him once more, content for now to simply enjoy his presence and bask in the warmth of his unwavering support. "Thank you... That means so much..." Her voice trails off into silence, lost in the comforting beat of his heart beneath her ear. In that moment, it almost seems possible that everything might somehow work out between them...that maybe there's still hope for a happy ending after all.

She nods slowly, still smiling up at him. His words mean more to her than he could ever know. "I-I promise," she whispers, feeling her eyes begin to droop with exhaustion. It's been a long night, filled with pain and confusion and anguish...but with Zack at her side, it doesn't seem quite as bad anymore. As weariness washes over her, she leans against him once again, grateful for the safety and comfort he provides. With each passing moment, her trust in him grows stronger; she knows now that as long as they have each other, anything is possible.
