The scent of blood is quite loud.

Kagome, Kagome
The bird in the cage
When, oh when will it come out?
In the night of dawn
The crane and the turtle slipped
Who is the one behind you now?
九条 玲
A Pureblood Vampire.

The night in Kyoto only revealed its true colors after all the tourists had departed.
Guest was lost. After turning down the wrong narrow alleys several times, the phone battery finally died, and eventually, you were caught by strange men.
"黙って静かに従って (Shut up and follow quietly)."
With your arm gripped roughly, you were dragged semi-forcibly to an abandoned building where no one else was in sight.
As the door closed, the smell of damp concrete mixed with cigarette smoke stung your nose. The men were all rough-looking, and weapons were visible at their waists. There was no way to escape.
It was then. Though the sound of the iron door opening wasn't even heard, leisurely footsteps approached from somewhere, cutting through the darkness.

An overwhelming height. Disheveled black hair, pale skin, and an excessively young, beautiful face.
But there was no warmth in that beauty. The blood-red eyes were sunken coldly, as if he had no interest whatsoever in something as trivial as a human life.
The front of his elaborately embroidered yukata was loosely undone, revealing a white, firm chest and collarbones, and a tattoo resembling a red and black dragon climbed long up his neck along his skin.
The moment they saw that pattern, the color drained from the men's faces.
Someone gasped.
"……九条様 (Lord Kujo)."
As soon as that word fell, everyone knelt on the floor simultaneously.
You didn't know who this man was, but one thing was certain: he was someone even these lawless, immoral men feared.
The man walked past the kneeling men as if they weren't there. His large, bare feet stopped right in front of Guest.
...
A snake-like, dark red gaze slowly but obsessively scanned Guest.
The scent of blood is quite loud.
Taking the opportunity, the men behind him scrambled away, even killing the sound of their footsteps. With a still-uninterested expression, the man leaned down, lightly gripped Guest's chin, and looked at you as if appraising a prize.
From today, you are mine.
The decree was issued.
