Chapter 1: My Precious Prey
It's already past one o' clock of the afternoon and the students of the Seishun Academy start walking back to their classrooms. She is in the rooftop of the science building. Well, she didn't need to bother herself to eat lunch like those humans. She doesn't need to eat. She only drinks. Yes,she is. She drinks blood. Only blood. What kind of creature she is then? Oh, she is one of those creatures that never sleeps, an immortal and prey upon those lowly creatures like humans and animals. In a simplier word, she is a vampire.
The Vampire Girl brushes out the dirt from her school uniform. She then brushes her long brown mane and put it in a high ponytail before leaving the place to go back to her classroom.
When she entered the classroom, she noticed that all of her classmates' eyes set upon her. She gave them a faint smile and headed to her seat which is behind of the class and beside the classroom's window. The Vampire Girl silently stares outside the window as her boredom overcomes her. She heard her classmates giggling on their conversations.
"Did you know? Echizen-san would be our classmate! That's so great! He's one of the hottest guy on school!" she heard one of her classmates said.
The Vampire Girl rolled her eyes in irritation.
"Stupid human girls, what's so special to that human lad." she thought.
Their Chemistry Teacher and a lad came and the other students arranged themselves to their proper seats.
"You have a new classmate. As you all know he's just recently arrived from America. He's name is Echizen Ryoma." their teacher said. The Vampire Girl turns her head to the direction of the new student. Her inner demon suddenly panics. Her smelling ability rises. The blood of the new student is calling her. She felt her fangs starts to draw within her mouth. She let out an inaudible growl.
Echizen Ryoma felt something odd cold feeling spreading throughout his body. He knows someone eyes set upon him. He looked around and find those cold golden eyes staring at him. Ryoma's eyes narrowed.
'What's with that look?' he thought.
He stares back at the young lady. She has a pair of golden eyes. Her long curly hazel hair was tied in a high ponytail. Her delicate white skin glows radiantly.
'Hn. What a beauty.' Ryoma thought.
"Oh, Echizen-san, please take your seat of the front of Ryuuzaki-san." their teacher said.
'Oh Great! Great Torture's coming!' The Vampire Girl said to herself.
Ryoma walked in the aisle and approaches his seat. He stopped and met again the eyes of the Vampire Girl. He smirked back at her before taking his seat. The Vampire Girl clenches her teeth in dismay. Too much temptation. Too much torture. Oh, what the hell's happening? She has a great grasp of self control yet the newcomer easily breaks down these walls. Her throat is burning. His blood is a tempting elixir.
She stares at the back of the newcomer and drifts to his well leaned shoulders and neck. She gasped as she sensed the warm blood of his pumped through his veins. Without any warning, the Vampire Girl rises from her seat and surprises her teacher and her classmates.
"What's the matter, Ryuuzaki-san?" their teacher asked.
"I'm not feeling good, Sensei. Can I please ditch the class today?" the Vampire Girl asked sweetly.
The Teacher's expression on his face changed and nodded back at her.
"Yes, you may Ryuuzaki-san." the Teacher replied.
"Thank you." said the Vampire Girl.
She took all her belongings and left the classroom filled with confused classmates.
"Ehh? How did she do that?" Echizen Ryoma's seatmate asked.
"Do what?" Ryoma asked.
"That! That she made the teacher agreed to her to ditch the class!" his seatmate answered.
"Maybe she uses her charm." one of their classmates intercedes.
"Anyway, I'm Horio Satoshi." Ryoma's seatmate said. He just nodded at him.
"Who is she?" Ryoma asked.
His unibrow seatmate gave him a confused look.
"Who?" Horio asked.
"That girl who just ditches the class." Ryoma replied.
"Oh, you mean Ryuuzaki Sakuno. Well, she's the most popular girl in this school to bad she doesn't have an eye to the boys." Horio said.
After their chemistry class...
Ryoma put his hands at his side pockets while walking around the Sakura trees behind the Science buiding. He suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his right wrist. It feels like it's burning his flesh. He runs toward the faucet that is near at the school's gymnasium. The cold water runs through his burning flesh and he hissed in pain. Not so long the pain instantly fades away. He looked at his tormented wrist seeing something's new.
"What is this?" he said.
His wound is still fresh but he find it odd. The wound has formed an odd symbol he didn't know what could it mean.
She run towards the rooftop of the building. She needed to calm herself or else she would turn to a murderer monster. It's good somehow that his scent is very faint now. It would help her compose herself going back to normal. She took her phone to call her half brother, Kunimitsu.
"Mitsu-nii-chan." she said.
"I know what happened. Shusuke told me." her brother said. Well, that's good. Shusuke's precognition ability saves her time to explain the things that happened. Suddenly, she felt a burning sensation in her right wrist. She cried in pain.
"What happened?" she heard her brother asked from the fallen phone.
"I... I felt a burning sensation in my wrist, nii-chan." she said.
"Go home, Sakuno. Now." Kunimitsu commanded.
Sakuno grabbed her things and disappeared to the mist. When she materializes she is in her brother's study room. She looked up to see her brother analyzing her wrist in an instant. He's wearing a grey polo shirt and a pair of black trousser.
"I guess. You're right, Kunimitsu." a voice rises behind her brother. She looked at the other side seeing Shusuke standing behind Kunimitsu.
"Nii-chan, what's happening?" Sakuno asked.
Kunimitsu folded her sleeves back to its place and turns around to look at the book lying on his study table.
"It's seems you've just met your angel, Sakuno-chan." Shusuke said with his smile.
Sakuno look at him then shifts to her half brother. She frowns.
"What? What's an angel, Nii-chan?" she asked.
Kunimitsu gave her a look commanding her to take a seat first. She obediently seats at the near coach.
"An angel is the soul mate of a vampire. Not all vampires have their own soul mate. An angel could be a human or vampire. But it seems to your case you ended up having a mortal mate." Kunimitsu said."Saa... that's too bad. I'm planning to be mated with Sakuno-chan. Too bad, she's a Class S vampire and she ended up claiming by a mortal." Shusuke intercedes.
"What? I don't like it, Nii-chan! I don't like to be mated with a mortal! If ever I would mate someone, it could only be you or Shusuke-kun." Sakuno blurted out.
"But the two of you are already bonded." Kunimitsu said stoically. "The symbol embedded on your wrist symbolizes his affinity with your wicked soul." he continued.
Sakuno fell silent. She understands clearly about this mating and angel thing. Oh, how bad it is. She ended up having a mortal mate. Lady luck isn't her side.
"You don't have to worry, Sakuno. As long as you haven't kill your angel, he would resurface your hidden abilities in fullest extent." Kunimitsu said.
That night, she decided to trace her angel to know more about him. She found him sleeping silently on his own room. The full moon gives her more opportunity to observe her sleeping angel.
Ryoma was awakened when he felt something strange near him. He silently rose from his bed and stares outside his window. He finds nothing and brushes his dark green locks before slumpering himself back to his bed.
Sakuno silently listens to his rhythmical breathing and heartbeats. She growls to herself feeling the bond between her angel and to herself getting stronger.
"Echizen Ryoma. My Angel. My Mate." she hissed while flashing her red eyes and elongated white fangs.
