- Krul about Mika.

MikaKrul is the family ship between Mikaela Hyakuya and Krul Tepes from the Seraph of the End fandom.

Canon
In 2012, Krul invaded Tokyo and collected Mika and the other orphans from the Hyakuya Sect. Instead of killing them, she disobeyed orders and lied saying that she completed the task, raising the children in Sanguinem and raising them like cattle.

In 2016, Mika and the other orphans tried to escape when they obtained a map, but Yuu is the only one who manages to escape, with Ferid killing the other children and fatally injuring Mika. Krul gets there in time for Ferid to finish off Mika, saying that Mika belongs to her. She dips a finger in the pool of blood around him and licks it. She demands an explanation from Ferid and says that no one would believe that a human child could seriously injure a seventh parent.

After Krul gives Ferid a beating, she offers Mika eternal life, but he refuses, even so she bites her lip to make it bleed and kisses him forcing him to drink her blood. Later, someone brings an unconscious human child and lets him fall to the ground between Mika and Krul, she tells him to drink the blood and become a real vampire. Mika refuses, saying that she would rather die than become a vampire. Krul quickly sympathizes with him, and says that he will become a demon without the blood, he refuses again and she opens her own wrist, offering her own blood. Overcome by thirst, he gives in and cries while drinking her blood. She says that he will never be able to leave her and will be her dog forever, hugging him. While Mika is in Krul's care, she informs him about the cruelty of humans through her experiences that can destroy the world. She teaches him that she saved the orphans from that fate and does not mention that she was actually ordered to kill them. During that time, Mika became known as one of Krul's pets.

In 2020, Krul and Mika already have a close relationship, when Mika arrives to hear Krul's declaration of war, she smiles when she sees him. Later she gives Mika ten days of her blood so he can look for Yuu. Then Krul attended a Parent Council meeting with Ferid, where he brings Mika with him to the meeting. When Krul gets angry at Ferid after the meeting, Mika worries about asking if she was okay.

Later she was filling a tube with her blood for Mika, but already maddened by thirst, he attacks and bites her. The tube shatters on the floor. Krul hugs him, but as soon as Mika comes to his senses he pushes her away. Embarrassed, he apologizes and timidly asks for a slightly larger supply of his blood, and she provokes him for having already broken a vial. When Krul is asked by Mika about why she left the orphans alive in 2012, she doesn't respond, which makes him angry and they argue. She intertwines her fingers with his and squeezes his hand with her claws, which forces him to fall to the floor. Krul tells Mika to trust her, that she is his savior and owner. Then she calms him down by whispering her plan in his ear, which surprises him. When he asks if she is serious, she says it is a good question, but now she has an army to deploy. She tells Mika to get lost during the war, to hide from vampires and humans and find Yuu.

Later, on the battlefield, Mika and Krul are confronted by the sight of Yu losing control of his Seraph, Krul orders Mika to recover Yu and to escape together. She is then confronted by Crowley Eusford, who tries to attack her from behind, but she is able to defend herself with ease. However, Ferid appears from behind and bites his shoulder. She tries to make a deal with Ferid to have him tell her plans, but to no avail. She tells Mika to run away before falling unconscious while Ferid drinks his blood.

After Mika escapes with the squad, he tells them that Krul turned him into a vampire and they can trust her, so he offers to ask her for help, to which the others agree. When Krul was captured by the vampires, she and Mika noticed each other and exchanged glances, but immediately stopped looking at each other so as not to arouse suspicion. When Krul starts to burn as punishment, Mika watches it, but then turns away with obvious concern on her face. In Ancient Greece, Krul was one of those who saw Mikaela's corpse in a secret room. When Mika talks to Ashera, Krul's brother, Krul says his real name and Mika remembers that Krul has the same surname. He remembers for a while how he first met Krul.

Long after Krul meets Mika while he is held by Yuu, Krul approaches and claims that he has finally found his older brother. Krul recalls that turning Mika into a demon is her deal with Mahiru. She protects herself against the force emitted by Mika when he turns into a black demon. With two arms coming out of Mika's mouth, Krul says that if they don't run, they will die. Answering Yu, if he stays with Mika, he will kill them. After some time, Krul says that Mika can be saved, so Yuu agrees to work with her.

After Yuu escapes with Krul, he reveals that Krul are their family because she was the one who "saved" Mika. Krul recalls how she turned Mika into a vampire through a kiss. When Yuu reveals that Guren taught him to fight, Krul recalls that she was the one who taught Mika to fight. A flashback of Krul and Mika fighting is shown. Krul won every time, so when Mika fell to the floor, she told him to shout loudly, because no one would help him, but Mika continued every time and asked Krul to teach him how to fight. Seeing this, she said that the desire to save Yuu was driving Mika crazy. In the present, she did not see Yuu's serious behavior. She recalls the moment when something came out of Mika's face. She tells Yuu that he must prove that he wants to save Mika, otherwise it will be unfair to what he went through. Krul later reveals that Mika is one of Shikama's experiments.

Fanon
Most of the ship's content is due to Krul's attachment to Mikaela, calling him "her dog", and "my son". MikaKrul is frequently seen as a family or friend ship by the Seraph of the End fandom, though in rare cases people will ship it as a het pairing. This is extremely unpopular in the fandom due to the familial bond and age gap between the two, as well as Mikaela being in love with Yuichiro. On AO3 there are few stories of them, ranking as the 3rd most written ship for Mikaela and the 2nd most written ship for Krul.
