Berunkasteru said: I don't understand why Meiling would hug her if Sakuya was trying to kill Remi, though.
Fine. I'll write a fanfic for you.
"I am Hong Meiling. I am a gate guard. I worked for a human some decades ago, but the human passed out, and now, the mansion I'm watchin is a vampire's nest. I don't like it, but it's my job. Apart for the vampires, there is important peoples in the mansio, that I want to keep safe. There is a witch, who can't even stand light. There is a little devil, who can't even make tea. There is a little mistress, who is mad.
All of them. I want to keep them safe.
But the thing I'm seeing will hurt them. I see a female. A human. She's young, but she have silver hair.
I want to stop her, but I don't want to hurt her. Can I try to talk to her? But she don't listen. Worse than that, she throw a knive at me. I blocked it, but now, she's attacking. What can I do? She won't understand me, but-"
Her cheek stung from the blow. She tried to attack with the knife, but the rain blinded her. Or maybe she just didn't want to look, didn't want to see the broken trust in Meiling's eyes. She'd betrayed them all, because she was just a weak human child who never got to learn what loyalty was. And now she was about to die, she could feel it.
Maybe I don't deserve to live?
A strong hand caught the knife. She tried to tear it loose but it wouldn't budge. She felt warm blood trickle down over her fingers. Then she felt a strong arm embrace her, and Meiling's warm breath on her neck.
"Dummy..." Meiling whispered. "Why do you always run away from things?"
"You know, the mistress isn't mad at you. Non of us are. You may not believe this, but we understand. You don't know how to trust people, so you don't expect anyone to trust you either. But this isn't what we want, you know? I know you were just pretending but... wasn't some of it real? Didn't you want it to be real?"
"You don't have to run away from everything. You don't have to put so much effort into being lonely. You don't have to be afraid! There's a place for you with us, so can't we just go back? Together?"
She's warm...
"Ch-China..."
She's so warm.
"I... I..."
The girl quivered, overflowing with tears, and relief, and longing for the warmth she thought she'd lost forever. Finally, she let go of the knife and hugged the youkai woman back as hard as she could.

"That's enough! Stop it, Sakuya! Here's the secret behind your fist of power!"
"I knew it... She pressed her own Sekkatsuko points! Mukkyu!"
"Sakuya, your heart hasn't changed since childhood. That sad heart that always chased after me, China, at the risk of your own life. That's what called back these tears that had been dry for so long!"
