mike, around mid-day on the 17th
Normally, Katsuki wouldn't be leaving Hijikata and Shoto's house by himself. He's been staying there for a little over two weeks, healing from his amputation on the first. He had no reason to go anywhere else, and up until just a couple of days ago he didn't feel well enough to leave in the first place. But this was day seventeen, and Katsuki was feeling pretty good. He was healing up just fine, and had been practicing how to walk with a weight hooked up to his hip since the third. He was getting pretty good at it, too.
So he decides to leave for the first time, and see if he can do something useful. Everyone at the home was out to help with the darkness, at the moment, and wouldn't be back for some hours and he was feeling antsy and wanting some fresh(?) air. Katsuki takes this chance to go into Nightwake, determined to learn what he can about this new circumstance and to led a hand where he can. Using a small explosion to light his way.
BOOM!
Glass shattering, and a bright flash comes from an alleyway near the outskirts of the city. And then another, smaller one happens again. Following them will lead to quite the scene... a familiar, blonde haired boy with only one arm being held in the air by a tall clawed monster while he kicks and struggles. Pale and gaunt yet slowly looking healthier, the monster has what looks to be fangs dug deep into Katsuki's neck on the left. And it's claws dug into his side and shoulder.
Just moments before he had been walking through the alley, taking a shortcut to an intersection when out of nowhere he was grabbed from behind. Pulled back and then bitten into the left side of his neck. Fangs sinking deep into his muscles, and blood quickly beginning to be whisked away from him. Of course he tried to use his explosions to fight the vampire off, but they did absolutely nothing and the creature was able to overpower him easily with it's superhuman strength. His explosions are unable to to anything but illuminate his attack, and blow the windows open of the surrounding buildings.
He still, frantically, sets off blasts despite being at a disadvantage. The more blood that leaves his body, leaving him feeling weaker and weaker, the more frantic his explosions become as he writhes and tries to break free. At first, mindful of the buildings and people around, but the direction in which he shoots them becomes completely random as he tries to just get somebody's attention. Using his Quirk as if it were a flare.
Surely, somebody.... anybody will want to see what was happening over here. Surely someone will come save him. Even this was on the outskirts of town, and most people were elsewhere as they tried to figure out what happened to the sky, someone HAS to come save him...!!! Please....]
Fuck...!
[He can't scream, his voice only able to barely scratch out a yell with a gasp. His body breathing and heaving so hard and desperately, fighting for life. And as he struggles, a memory flashes across Katsuki's vision. As his heart beats quickly, frantically, painfully in his chest.
A sludge Villain suffocating him, taking his life and the only thing he was able to do was blow explosions off pathetically around him. The difference was that this time, there was no crowd to gawk and watch Katsuki die like it was a show. This time, he was... completely alone.
And he was losing this fight, by himself. Quickly.]
Re: mike, around mid-day on the 17th
First stop is Katsuki. His son who currently has one arm and would be reckless enough to go out in this darkness. Fuck he hopes he is okay. He hopes he gets to Todoroki's house to find him bored, on the couch, and bitching that he can't even read like this. That he needs candles and whining at his dad until he makes them appear and then hugs him because Katsuki secretly scared of the dark and it's a touching moment between father and son. He hopes that's all he finds.
His hopes shatter at the sound of rabid and somehow desperate explosions, flashes of light and fire coming from an alleyway not far ahead of him. Mike rushes in to see his son held up by his one remaining arm. A tall pale beast with obvious fangs buried deep in Katsuki's flesh. His heart, his weak heart, beating more and more slowly as the life drains from him. Images play out in rapid, horrifying, and intrusive fashion. Katsuki's remaining arm torn off out of sadistic glee, all his blood drained, him dead on the ground, the blond falling out of his flower and staring at him and asking the one question he never wants to hear...
Why didn't you save me, Dad? Why weren't you there? Why didn't you DO SOMETHING?!
The darkness and shadows are his friends. They ripple as a growl emits from Mike as his eyes go pitch black.]
GET YOUR FUCKING FANGS OUT OF MY SON, YOU BITCH!
[Magic and rage are a terrifying combination. Shadow tendrils lash out and wrap around Katsuki. They force the two apart. Katsuki is pulled behind him as the tendrils wrap around the vampire. The creature, fueled by Katsuki's blood, breaks free and comes at Mike fast, a blur of movement. Momentum though is a bitch. Mike moves fast, the shadows pulling both him and Katsuki out of the way as ice forms where Mike was. The vampire slips and spins as massive icy spikes burst up, stabbing into the vampire's legs and then explode into more spikes through thighs knees.]
I got you Kitkat. I've got you. [Mike says as the shadows hold his son close to his body and slowly warm up to try and keep Katsuki from feeling the cold of this sudden night and the ice forming not far from them.]
Dad is here.
no subject
It happens quickly. One second, Katsuki is suspended in the air and the next moment he's feeling those tendrils wrap around him. Pulling him away from the creature who had made him it's meal. It's sharp and painful when he's ripped from the fangs, leaving some messy exit wounds that were sure to leave ugly scars. And it's amazing that he's even still conscious, as he's wrapped up in shadows and held protectively behind Mike. But said consciousness was starting to fade as blood gushes out of the two holes in his neck.
He couldn't see anymore, his vision so blurry and dark-- darker than the world around them. But he could feel Mike's desperateness as he fights. The wind whooshing through his blonde hair as Mike moves. The cold, frigid air of the ice and he could hear the sound of it forming, the sound of the vampire falling onto it and crying out in pain.
Katsuki's breath was so haggard, so rough. And he desperately clings to the feeling of being awake. He was so scared of dying. He could hear Mike soothing him with his voice, but he doesn't register what he says. His mind was swimming so fast, swirling with thoughts of "please don't let me die" "I can't die like this" "I have so much left to do" "I need to keep awake" "don't die, Katsuki".]
..d..dad...
[Katsuki's voice is so quiet, a whisper that can barely speak and he reaches out blindly to grab onto the fabric of Mike's shirt. Weakly. So weak that you can't even really call it "grabbing".]
I'm... I'm dying...
[He knows he is. He can't see, his heartbeat was the only thing he could hear and he was so weak. He's been here before. A hole ripped through his heart and the white light slowly filling in his vision. Memories flashing, thoughts burning, and the world around him disappearing.
What can be done to save him? He's lost too much blood...]
no subject
And words that douse rage with cold parental fear.
I'm dying...
Mike can't focus on that thing anymore. He casts a cruel spell with a flick of his hand. Oozing shadows raise up to form skeletal beings of pure darkness. They crawl up the vampire. The monster tries to swat and claw at them but their liquid bodies just reform. They push the vampire down, clingings and clawing as his legs tear and break. Use superspeed now, motherfucker. They pull the vampire down into a pool of liquid darkness, the legs can't follow due to the ice and so they snap and tear away.
Mike doesn't bother to watch. He turns and pulls Katsuki into his arms. The wounds! Fuck he forgot. Why didn't that shitty vampire lick them?! Fucking asshole. He holds his hand over the wound that's barely leaking, using death to coagulating blood and stop the bleeding. It isn't true healing but it will do in a pinch. His full attention now on his son and how cold he is, how his eyes look so unfocused and that light is dimming.]
N-No. No you're not. Hold on. I...I...
[What can he do? He tries to focus on what magic he can do. How does he make more blood when he doesn't have the knowledge or skill in Life magic?! What can he do. He pulls Bakugo close, his hand behind Katsuki's head, his boy's face tucked into the crook of his neck and shoulder.]
I'll get you to a hospital. W-What blood type do you have? I can try a transfusion. Just stay awake. Stay with me. I won't let you go. I'm not going to let you die.
[His voice cracks with painful desperation. Think Mike think! He can't fail his child. Not another one. Not again!]
no subject
...it's.. A...
[He'll tell Mike his blood type, but it's not like it'll do anything. Even with Mike's teleportation, he wouldn't be able to get him to a hospital quick enough. A blood transfusion wouldn't do shit, right now, and Katsuki knows it.
He shudders out a gasp, and his eyes start to feel heavy. Too heavy. But he desperately tries his best to keep them open even if it was hard. He felt safe and warm tucked against Mike like this, and he was exhausted. So tired....]
I think... I'm gonna.. go. Okay? I.. I'm sorry...
[Katsuki can't help but apologize, as he lets his eyelids close. As he takes his last shuddering breaths. If only Katsuki wasn't so weak. If only he had gotten his new arm installed, by now. If he could've fought the vampire off, Mike wouldn't have to watch his foster son die.]
no subject
Then those words. That admission. No. NO!]
N-No! No! Don't go. Katsuki! KATSUKI!!!! [The tears stream down his eyes and Mike tries to gently shake his son. He's so limp in his arms. No. No he can feel him slipping away. No time for the transfusion or the hospital. No time at all.
A hail mary. A desperate ugly thing to avoid his son dying comes to mind. He grabs one of the dismembered legs and breaks it off from the ice. It has blood in it still. Mike leans Katsuki back and tries to pry open his mouth with one hand, the other holding the dripping vampire blood into his mouth. He has no idea if this is how it works in this world but fuck he has to try. Maybe Katsuki will hate him but he can't just let him go. Hold his corpse until it disappears and see him in three days.
He has to try everything. He HAS to.]
Please work. Please work. Please please please please please...[Mike begs whatever gods this world has to please let his son come back to him.]
1/2
His body is still, heart silent. And at first, it seems like Mike's attempt to do anything to stop him from dying wasn't working. The blood drips into his mouth, but he doesn't react to it at all.
For what feels like forever.... Bakugo Katsuki is dead.]
no subject
Suddenly-- very suddenly-- Katsuki's body jerks and he sputters out the blood that was forced in his mouth. His eyes shoot open, glowing a bright red with cat-like slits for pupils and he gasps. Coughs. And begins to breathe sharply as if he was learning how. Like he's forcing himself to take these breaths, rather than his body doing it on it's own.
His eyes dart around wildly, before settling on the face of the man he'd been calling dad. Tears streaming down lightly wrinkled skin. The expression of a father who's son had just died staring back at him. Katsuki's glowing eyes linger on him for a few seconds. Seconds silent beyond the rasping of his lungs until there's the addition of a new sound. A... hissing sound?
It's coming from Katsuki. A hissing similar to a kitten trying to learn, as he bares his new fangs and suddenly lurches at Mike. He felt ravenous, his stomach was burning like a fire had been lit inside and the only thing he could think about was.... blood.
Mike's blood. His neck. He wants to bite into it---]
no subject
The sputtering cough and gasps break his stupor and he watches with wide blue eyes. He sees the red and the slit pupils but it doesn't fully realize what it means. All he knows is his son is alive!]
Katsuki? [Can he hear him? Can he understand? Then the blond is lunging at him and Mike's defenses are not primed. He is slammed back into the cement on the ground as he feels sharp fangs pierce his neck! Yet no burst of pleasure comes from this bite. He hisses at the pain as the realization that his son is going to feed on him hits.]
You don't...ever get a nice...bite...fuck this...blows... [He chokes out a small complaint but doesn't try to stop Katsuki. He gently grabs his shoulders but he lets him drink. He needs this if he is what he thinks he is now. Which he has to be given the fact this is happening at all.]
It's okay. I-It's okay. Dad's here. Take what you need. [Is he going to die next? He doesn't know but he's never died before. Would this be the first time? Somewhere above them, a bolt is worn with age, and it starts to crack. It holds the ladder on the fire escape over their heads. A small metallic squeaking is the only hint of what is suddenly happening above them.]
no subject
He's completely unaware to the creaking above. Of the ladder who's last bolt keeping it together was falling apart. He's completely unaware... until it cracks. And the ladder falls on a path that's directly going for the two. And just as it moves on it's own to feed it's vampire instincts, Katsuki's body also moves in response to his Hero instincts.
In a flash, he lets go of Mike and blows off an explosion that splits the ladder right in half. The two halves falling to land just inches away from the two of them. And Katsuki stands over Mike perfectly still afterwards. His eyes look from the ladder, to the man below him. And then it's like something finally clicks.]
...M.. Mike?
[He recognizes him, but his memory is so fuzzy. He kneels down next to Mike and looks at him with wide, confused eyes. Glowing much brighter now that he's been fed, a bit. Mike's blood dripping down his chin and staining his clothes along with his own.]
Dad?
[He was still hungry, but not enough to attack again. He didn't take nearly enough from Mike.. but that's a problem for him to figure out, later. Right now, his brain was trying to process what happened. Why Mike was injured. And why his mouth tasted... like blood.]
no subject
Hey...you're back Kitkat. Just...give me a minute. Not as spry as I used to be when it comes to the blood loss as I was when I was a young man. How are you feeling?
[Leave it to this man to be more concerned about how his son is feeling than his own possible danger from said son.]
no subject
I... a-are you okay? Did-- did you get bit, too?
[Now his clawed hand reaches out to touch at Mike's injury. Very carefully, he brushes the pads of his fingers against the closed wound and the sight of the still wet blood that smears makes him lick his lips. His stomach growls. And the sight of those claws coupled with the sudden impulse to lick Mike's wound has his addled brain starting to piece together to him what happened... but even if it's so obvious-- he doesn't want to accept it, yet.
He instead just looks at Mike with fearful eyes. Both scared for what had happened to Mike, and scared of what had happened to himself. And... scared that this hunger for his dad's blood meant what he thought it meant.]
no subject
It's going to be okay. I'm alright. I did get bit but not nearly as bad as you. Stay with me, Kitkat. Okay? We'll get through this. We should get inside though. In case there are more of those things around. Yeah?
no subject
...w-why do I have claws..?
[Mike is right in that they should get inside, and he knows in the back of his mind that they need to. It's dangerous to sit around-- another one of those creatures could find them and in both of their states that would be no good. But as he looks at the mangled corpse of the vampire that had attacked him, it starts to settle in properly. The fact that he can see the corpse so well in the dark was another indicator, too.]
...that's... th-that's a vampire. Isn't it? And it... i-it bit me. Really bad.
[And in the usual lore, when you're bit by a vampire and you don't die from it, that can only mean one thing.
To check, Katsuki raises his shaking hand to his mouth. He touches at his teeth, and feels that his slightly sharp canines were extremely sharp now. It pricks his finger when he presses on the tip of one of them, and that's the last bit of information he needs to know that he...
He's been turned.]
..l..let's go.
[He doesn't want to face it yet. So he'll rapidly switch gears, so fast that it's like whiplash when he gets to his feet and tugs at Mike to get up with him.
Mike is hurt, and they need to find somewhere safe. He'll focus on that.]
no subject
[Katsuki isn't stupid. Mike knows his boy is smart and sharp as a tack. He stands on slightly shaky legs and gently takes one of those clawed hands and leads him back towards Todoroki's home. They need to get inside and get somewhere safe. They can talk and process everything that just happened after. Well start processing.
Being a vampire isn't something one just processes and is fine with. He knows that much about all of this.]
No matter what, you are still you. I want you to remember that. You're still you, Kitkat.
no subject
...I-I'm still... me.
[Katsuki repeats that, but his voice sounds so distant. Like he barely understands what he just said, because his thoughts are elsewhere. Trapped in a swirling storm of mixed emotions as he starts to process bit by bit.]
I.. I don't feel good. I don't like this.
["This" meaning the new reality that's settling in like food poisoning. Making Katsuki's stomach feel like cold, nauseas ice. He can't find any other words to properly describe how he's feeling at the moment, either. His brain was so overflowed with thoughts and fears that barely any words come to the front of his mind, right now.]
saya, sometime during the 18th
Katsuki was unbelievably angry.
Angry with himself, angry at the world. Angry at whatever God decided that enough wasn't enough. He had just gotten his dominant arm removed, not even a full month earlier, and now... everything has gone to Hell. The world was dark, sky blackened and allowing criminals and monsters alike the chance to make this place their own. And Katsuki had made the stupid decision to leave his safe sanctuary of a home, by himself, to see what was going on.
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Because of his careless decision, Katsuki became ensnared by a vampire and was made into it's first meal. His "dad" managed to show up just in time to rip Katsuki away-- but not quick enough to stop him from turning. He had lost so much blood that he was as good as dead. And now the heart he had worked so hard to restart barely beats. The heart he had protected so dearly only speaks to him once... maybe twice a minute.
A sad, singular "ba-dump" that was so distracting every time he heard it.]
GET BACK HERE, YOU FUCKING LEECH!
[Katsuki was so angry, and all he could do was take it out on the creatures that took his humanity away from him. Despite being told by nearly everyone around him to stay home, Katsuki just couldn't anymore. Why did it matter, anyway? He can't die from infection. He can't die if his wound opens and all his blood pours out of his body. Who cares if he gets injured, out here? Who cares if his amputation gets ruined? Who cares!
Nothing matters to him anymore, at this moment. He feels as though his future as a Hero has been ripped away from him. He can't be a Hero if he's targeting people to drink their blood, even if he only goes after criminals. That's such a Villainous, and monstrous thing to do. Heroes don't hunt after humans like prey. But Katsuki does.
And now he's on the hunt for revenge.
He's chasing after another vampire, blowing off explosions with barely a care in the world as he tries to blast off it's head. He's a baby vampire, only about a day old and has no control over his speed or strength. As he runs down the dark streets of Nightwake, he skids around a corner so sharply and so strong that his feet rip a tear into the cement underneath him. He doesn't stop for a second, though, and only has his eyes on the prize. Running after the vampire as it sprints down a skinny alley.
Unaware that there was a second vampire in the area, who the first just so happens to run right into the moment it exits the alley way.]
Re: saya, sometime during the 18th
Saya sings her song of compulsion, which will cause the vampires to be stunned for at least a moment (she's unhappy that the older vampires can shrug it off in so short a time, but the younger ones it works nicely on). She doesn't realize that this will also stun Katsuki, because all she can register with her hearing is that there's a vampire there--
--Until she appears in the alleyway, seeming to teleport since one moment the area was empty and the next there's a vampire queen with glowing red eyes, a fierce scowl, and a bright katana there, and she's pissed.
Her song stops abruptly when she sees Katsuki there, because she can hear his slow heartbeat. She remembers the broken concrete, and a thousand things click in her mind.
No. She's too late.
As her eyes burn with grief and rage, she grabs one of the vampires and holds it up by its throat, hissing at it in a way that exudes dominance. These things can't hurt a vampire-born queen.
They probably can hurt Katsuki, and they already have. So she holds it there, dangling in the air with its legs kicking, and looks to Katsuki with red eyes that seem to burn.
"They're all yours." She'll hold this one while Katsuki kills the other, and then she'll toss this one at his feet.
no subject
He looks at the end of the alley towards where he heard the song, and sees Saya there with a sword, her eyes glowing a bright red just like his own were. And it clicks in that moment that she must be a vampire, herself. Though he has it in his mind that she must've been turned, like he was. He sees the rage in her eyes and relates it to his own. And he understands that she's now there to help.
He uses his speed to close the gap between him and the confused vampire he'd been chasing. The vampire was just recovering from the singing itself and was confused about why there were suddenly two more vampires in the area. So he takes this moment of distraction to close that gap, and grabs onto it's head.
BOOM!
A burst of blood and skull, and then the vampire slumps down to the ground. Headless. Katsuki's never killed another living thing quite like this before, and he finds that it feels... good. Really good. But it wasn't enough to satisfy this bloodthirsty revenge that Katsuki wants. He wants to kill every last one of them.
So he's quick to snuff out the vampire that Saya tosses at his feet. A wide, malicious grin on his face as he stomps on it's head with all the force of his new powers. Crushing it underneath his heel. Brains and blood sticking to the sole of his shoe.]
There ain't enough vampire corpses on the street. Wanna find some more with me? I'll let you kill the next one.
[He's filled with so much rage, at the moment. All that's on his mind is death and destruction for evil creatures that deserve it.]
no subject
She inclines her head at Katsuki, her glowing eyes looking him over. "Yes. In a second." She won't be able to sing if she's fighting with Katsuki, but that's fine. She can kill these things in her sleep. She has two centuries of practice.
"You were turned?" she asks, her head inclining in a way that would seem almost casual but for how furious she is. It's evident that her anger is not at Katsuki, but what's left of the creatures at his feet, as she glares down at them and scowls.
no subject
...yeah. Yesterday.
[For good measure, Katsuki stomps on the brains that are left as if that vampire was the one who had turned him. It wasn't but he didn't care. He'd treat all of them like dog shit stuck to his shoe.]
The fucking amputee thought it was a great idea to go out in the dark, all alone, to try and prove that he's a big boy and can take care of himself! Like a moron!
[He kicks the body as hard as he can, sending it into the wall of one of the surrounding buildings. There's just nothing that can calm him down, it seems.]
And look at what that got him!
no subject
Saya spends another useless second being fucking enraged, before forcing herself calm. Rage means mistakes, and she can't afford any of those. Though she doesn't blame Katsuki for how he's feeling.
She can look after him, though. Make sure he doesn't do anything he'd truly regret. He's new at this, and bloodthirst tends to be up when you're using your energy fighting.
She flicks her sword to get most of the blood off.
"Don't be so hard on yourself. You were trying to help. Doing what a hero should do."
Her head inclines as if she's thinking. "There are two -- no, three -- headed towards us. I'll back you up."
No singing since it'll effect Katsuki too, but she isn't worried. These things are no match for a queen, especially one with a fucking grudge.
She lifts her gleaming katana, more than ready. Let them come, thinking they have the advantage.
no subject
Yeah. SO Heroic of him.
He, of course, keeps that internal dialogue to himself. Not wanting to damper Saya's attempt at comfort. What's really comforting, right now, was the mention of three more vampires coming their way. It gets another grin to spread on his face and Katsuki starts activating his Quirk. Building sweat up in his palm for a concentrated attack.]
I'll burn a hole right through their hearts! I dunno if that'll kill 'em, but it'll sure as hell feel good!
[He does just as he announced the moment the three of them run into view. Blasting a directed beam through an "o" that he makes with his pointer and thumb. Usually, he'd use his right hand to shoot through the "o" made by his left for more accuracy, but he's learned how to do it with one hand by closing it like a fist to concentrate the blast through the only opening.
Adapt and overcome.]
no subject
When the three vampires dash into the mouth of the alley, Saya moves. But saying "Saya moves" is like saying that the universe is vast. She vanishes from sight, appearing just behind one of the vampires that Katsuki's blast didn't catch, and a second later its head falls from his shoulders. She moves even faster than the vampires do; the prerogatives of being a queen.
She turns, sword flashing, waiting to see if Katsuki has the other two or if she needs to step in and hold one of them. He deserves to take this out on the creatures that turned him.
no subject
Yeah, that sucks? Don't it?
[He taunts the vampire as he walks up to it slowly with his hand crackling with a pompom explosion. The vampire gets to it's feet and tries to make a run for it, but Katsuki's faster. He runs past the creature, turns around, and then reaches forward and explodes his chest open. Blasting through his heart, and blowing the head right off at the same time. Inflicting wounds that he's suffered himself, sadistically enjoying how satisfying it felt it to see someone else in the same pain that he's been in.
Well... the head was overkill.
But unlike the criminals that Katsuki drinks from, he doesn't care about killing these inhuman things. He doesn't view them as anything but creatures of the night. Of "things" that need to be removed. Animals that will kill everyone he cares about if he lets them roam the night.]
no subject
Will Katsuki share that same fate?
She'll have to unpack it later, there's a scream nearby and Saya nods to Katsuki before dashing off at a speed he'll at least be able to follow, but knowing now how fast he can move, she doesn't hold much back.
"Those things are all over the place. We have plenty of work to do." She'll have to address the turning later on. Trust and believe, she's coming back to it.
no subject
None of it matters, though. Not when there's the scream of someone who needs help, and more vampires to kill. Katsuki digs his heels into the ground, and then runs after Saya with a burst of speed. He feels excited, at least, to be fighting side by side with another vampire. Someone who understands him, and what he was going through. Though Saya seemed like she was way more acquainted with her vampire powers than Katsuki was... maybe she picks up on these things faster than he does?
Either way, he's right behind her. Eager to kill the first creature he sees.]
no subject
What they both have in common now, other than being vampires, is an urge to hunt and destroy those how threaten this city. Saya makes sure that Katsuki is following as she dashes through the streets in a blur of flaring eyes and silence. She stops outside an alley where a group of vampires has someone cornered, probably smelling the fear on this poor native.
Saya leaps at the first one, circling it in an impossibly fast flurry of movement, her katana flashing as she strikes. The things head falls from its shoulders and she's on to the next.
no subject
For now, he'll focus on trying his best to balance being a Hero and being a bloodthirsty monster. It's a line that's been crossed many times already, and it's one that's also pretty blurry. And this was a good moment for him to toe that line. Saving a citizen from becoming a snack for a species he holds such a grudge against, while making sure he doesn't go overboard. He needs to make sure he doesn't scare them while he fights.
So the first thing Katsuki does is run as quick as he can to the victim, to plant himself firmly between them and the vampires left. Saya takes out one easily and goes for a second, so Katsuki focuses on a different one. He waits until they get close, and then using his Winter powers he summons a whip of water that he uses to slice cleanly through the vampire's neck. It's something he's been working on recently, and he gets this proud little smile on his face when the monster's body slumps to the ground. It worked!!!]
