No exit had turn up, but Kamui was picking up something else. He heard a voice and also picked up the faint scent of blood. The vampire first thought was to ignore it. There were probably others who were trapped here, fighting their own battles. They were of no concern to him. However, he felt a nagging feeling about this, something he couldn't ignore. So begrudgingly, Kamui searched for the source of the voice he heard and also to where the smell of blood was the strongest.
Suddenly the smell of blood hit him so abruptly as if he had crashed into a wall. It was coming from a room at the end of the hall he was currently on. As the pureblood drew closer, his eyes caught sight of the blood pooling at the bottom of the door.Kamui quickly acted, using the powers he had recently gained to form a bow made up of energy and an arrow to shoot. The vampire released the arrow, making the head of the weapon pierce the center of the door, causing it to crack and crumble into tiny pieces.
Kamui moved into the doorway to see that the source of blood came from a body lying on the floor. The vampire quickly recognized the body to be that of Takuma's, the vampire he had met a few days ago. Kamui moved to the other's side, not touching him. He didn't want to cause any more pain for the other."Takuma."

"Kamui...", he said in a pained voice. The blond managed a smile to the other even within all of the pain he was feeling. The gash in his chest was starting to close, but slower this time since the original wound consisted of a part of his heart being cut out. For wounds such as those, they were a lot harder to heal. Especially since he was so drained from fighting for this long.
There was a trail of blood that ran down his cheeks and from his mouth. It was a terrible and morbid sight, but this was a terrible and morbid place. Plus, being a vampire and losing so much blood made him thirsty. His situation wasn't a good one, but he kept hold of himself. He needed to.
"Coming to save me again?", he said, trying to muster up the strength to continue to be his normal, light-hearted self.

Kamui only watched Takuma. Though, the other tried so hard to hide his pain, Kamui could easily see through it. It was something he could always dispel when it came to his own brother. There was so much blood that the pureblood already knew what needed to be done. The other needed blood or else, he'll be defenseless.
The vampire pulled back the dirtied sleeves of his costume, revealing his wrist. He then offered it to Takuma."Don't make this a habit."

Before he could even think anymore, his eyes beamed a bright red, then took the wrist into his hands, his fangs already elongated and started to lick the area he was going to sink them into.
The licks were small, like a kitten's, as he softened the spot and soon enough, he took that bite.
His eyes closed as the pureblood's life fluid bubbled up inside of his mouth. He didn't plan on making this a habit, but it was so delicious, probably because of him being a pureblood. He was truly grateful to him.

The vampire turned away from Takuma, letting the vampire feed on his wrist. He took a look around the room, seeing if there were any dangers or possibly a lead to what had injured the other in the first place. To his eye, there was nothing out of the ordinary. It seemed like a simple room, compared to the other rooms he's been in.However, Kamui didn't write off the potential danger of the room just yet. There had to be some sort of reason Takuma was injured.
The pureblood turned back to Takuma and said."Enough."

It was then he was abruptly cut off that he pulled away. He was feeling better, certainly. Not like he was dying and his wound was closing up quicker now that he had more strength. All he needed now was to find some place to wash his face.
"Thank you....", he said softly. He tried to hide the blush on his face from having to feed from someone he barely knew like that.
"We should leave this room before it locks us both in....", he said, starting to stand up.
Reply
"It was nothing." Kamui said in response to Takuma's "thank you". He then nodded as the other suggested they leave before the room decided to keep them inside. Kamui waited for Takuma to stand up and head for the door, so he could linger behind....to see if anything was in here.Still nothing."So? You also went on the train?
Reply
He looked back at Kamui and nodded. "I did...I was following someone's scent. Two people, actually. They're very close to me and I wanted to follow them to make sure they were okay. I still haven't managed to find them even though I've been here this whole time...", he said.
"Yourself? Were you hoping this was a way out?", he asked simply. It was a plausible thought. Usually trains meant going on a long journey somewhere. To a place that one may or may not come back from. He wondered if D and Cooro thought the same thing as they boarded the train.

At Takuma's last question, Kamui frowned."It was worth looking into."
Reply
But unfortunately for him, it wasn't to be so.
"I hope you haven't had as much of a tiring time as I have", he said, walking next to the other vampire. Though, he doubted that he didn't. This place seemed like it could throw anyone for a loop. And these costumes didn't help. They hindered was more like it. Unless, of course, someone powerless gained something good. But then, there was the ability to control said power.
"I'll have to make this up to you...", he said idly, looking forward, and a light smile on his face. He said it in such a way that 'you don't have to' wasn't an answer.

"Hmph." The vampire huffed at Takuma's statement,his eyes bleeding into an amber."Whoever thought this was funny, placing us in these costumes and putting us in this place, I'm going to kill them."
Kamui looked to Takuma when he said he would make it up to him,but the other didn't leave any room for argument, which Kamui was ready to give. But even he could understand why this was so important to him. So Kamui stayed silent about that. He merely walked with Takuma out of the room and into the hall.Then he finally said,"Those people you are looking for, do you still sense them?"
Reply
He merely gave a light laugh at the threat placed on whoever was responsible. If there was anyone responsible or if this was just another strange thing dished out to them for one reason or another by the land of dreams itself.
The blond closed his eyes and sniffed at the air silently, but was assaulted with the smell of his own blood instead. He tried sensing D's power if he was using them, but nothing came up. His shoulders sagged and he shook his head.
"I'm afraid I lost them...", he said, his head handing down. "They should be here though...." He was starting to lose hope that they even were.
Maybe it was for the best if they weren't. He wouldn't wish this on poor Cooro, nor would he wish this on D. Even if they were being awkward around each other.
"Would you mind staying with me until we find them? And even afterward, you're welcome to stick with us. In a place like this, it's best to be in a group. Especially when there are rooms like the one I was trapped in"
Reply
"Let's get away from here." The pureblood suggested as he picked up his pace.With the smell of blood in the air, it's no telling what was being attracted. Probably those annoying creatures lurking about.

He followed Kamui's pace, walking along the twisted hallways of the nightmarish castle.
His green eyes glanced over at him. "I'm curious....how do vampires in your world work?", he asked. It seemed that everyone who had vampires in their world knew about them differently, so it was always interesting to know each world's myths and facts.

"We're not immortal, so that means we can be killed. Except things like sunlight, garlic,silver or any religious symbols can not harm us. However, fatal blows can kill us and inflict damage." Kamui added, wondering if he had left out anything. Then he remembered. This was something he was meaning to ask Takuma about. Mainly because he doubted that this world had it."In my world, we can no longer fed on humans, because of the hunters. So we created prey in order to sustain our existence."
Reply
Though, the last part wasn't so great. "The vampires in my world work the same way! We're born and we're also not immortal. Well...a difference is that purebloods are immortal. But things like garlic, silver, and religious symbols cannot harm us, either! Though...if we eat too much garlic, we can get a bit sick and the sun makes us weak and we can pass out if we're not careful, but it can't kill us.
Fatal blows can kill us if our head is cut off or our heart is cut out. So we're a bit difficult to kill. And purebloods can only be killed by hunters.
A rule has been placed that we can only feed on a human if we get their consent and they know exactly what we are. Other than that, there have been little tablets made to stave our hunger since they don't want to run the risk of a human lying in case they're being threatened.
The rule is also a lot like a Hierarchy. Purebloods would be the princesses and princes, the Nobles which is what I am are, well, the nobility, the Class C vampires are the commoner vampires, then the D class are humans turned vampire" He was rather excited now. "What sort of prey did you create?"
