Entrance

Welcome to the world of the supernatural.
This is the story of demons, vampires and humans.
And so...

AUTHORS NOTE: IMPORTANT NOTICE

This is a revised version of the same existing story of the same name (without the -plus-). As some major changes have been made, which changes an acute amount of the storyline, I am considering this an alternate route. I will continue uploading for both. -plus- contains more a more serious, realistic plot line.

Unexplainable. That was what the situation was. As she sat by the fountain, in the gardens of the grandest castle, the young girl dreamt of the world she once was in. Where she was showered with love and care, breathing in happiness and displaying her emotions like fireworks. It ended quickly- that she knew better than anyone else. After all, she died once. And then she was revived. Now she understood the pain of darkness and losing colour.

In the first time in a while, the child felt a cool sensation easing her heart. Her modest nature would naturally find distaste in this rich environment- servants scattered about the place, beautiful yet unnecessary paintings, gold ornaments- yet, she was relieved by it. Feeling the light splashes of water, she gave into her relaxed mood and began to stop thinking, dozing off peacefully.

"Maeki, I have something to tell you!" A boy's voice called out, his quick footsteps crushing the grass. His friend did not budge from her sleeping position. He pouted, scratching his curly brown hair before poking her cheek.

"I said: I have something to tell you!"

Slightly annoyed, she finally pulled herself into a sitting position, patting on the space beside her. The boy obediently sat by her, huffing.

"Y'know...I got a new name today! He gave me that name...I'm so happy!" He flailed his arms in the air in excitement, only getting his partner to cock her head to the side in confusion.

"So what is it? Bearista?" She received a light punch in the shoulder at the horrible pun she made, both of them giggling at the name.

"Of course not idiot, I'm Yuma! Mukami Yuma!" He proclaimed proudly, puffing up his chest. The girl once again was a little confused.

"Your surname is Mukami? Where did that come from?"

"Everyone is a Mukami, we're family. That's what our saviour said anyway. So you're Mukami Fuyuki. Got that?"

"Family, huh."

Fuyuki stared at Yuma, his brown eyes sparkling brightly. In his hand was a few blocks of sugar, which he had just received. She could only smile at his happiness, as it'd been the first time she saw him like that.

"We're back." Another voice came into the scene. His blue eyes had a glint of intelligence in it, just like usual. The coolness of his behaviour hit them like the wind.

"Ruki. We were just talking about Bear's new name." Fuyuki smiled at him, her identical eyes of blue rather blank compared to the rest.

"Oh, it sounds so~ much better right? I mean 'Bear' isn't even a name!" A blond boy appeared from behind Ruki's back and grabbed his "sister's" hand dramatically. "Aren't I right, Yuma-kun?"

"Shut up Kou!" The brown-headed boy yelled back in response. "Lucks gave that name to me. It is as great as the one I have now!"

Yuma stood up in his fury, much to Kou's amusement. It didn't take long for them to start bickering amongst each other, with the constant mood swings they had. Ruki could merely sigh as he took Yuma's seat, staring at his look-a-like. She was completely amused by the situation, like the usual. He jumped back a little when another figure set himself beside her, leaning his head on her shoulder without hesitation.

"Maeki-chan is warm." He mumbled, wrapping her with his arms. "Those two are at it again. I wonder if they'll hit me on accident."

"Azusa, don't say that! You should take care of yourself better." Bear- now Yuma- grumbled as he tried to wrestle Kou away, the blond snickering in the most annoying manner.

The sun's rays were warm and welcoming. It was bright and the weather was just slightly windy with clouds still in the sky, floating away. The new family enjoyed their moment at the feeling of a closer connection with each other, just like the day when they all decided to escape together.

Light snores were heard in the small, simple room. It had a wooden planked floor, whitewashed walls and little furniture. On the left side of the room was a small closet, a computer desk and a cupboard. On the right was a single-sized bed, a guitar sitting closely by. The room was completely illuminated by the moonlight through the balcony windows, curtains not drawn for some reason. Fuyuki stirred from her sleep, grumbling softly before checking out the time.

"Oh. I'm a bit late." She then stared out at the night sky. "Waning Gibbous. How sinister."

Dragging herself up, she lazily changed into her uniform and made a grab for her instrument before leaving her room. Outside revealed a modern, yet gloomy looking corridor. Despite it being much more preferable than a more Dracula esque house, it was still quite lonely and desolated, considering that only five people inhabited this huge mansion. Fuyuki's footsteps dragged their way towards the long stairway, and reacting to the familiar sound quickly was Ruki.

"FUYUKI! How many times have I need to wake you up? I can't believe that you can sleep like that...ugh. Just take a seat and have your breakfast." He sighed as his only sister- who looked exactly like him with those greyish-blue eyes and curly black hair, mumbling about her absolute stoic and lazy behaviour.

"The moon is really close to its full, huh. I have my victims ready..." Kou smiled cheerfully, his words coated with absolute menace and hate. Hate for humans. "By the way, Maeki."

"What is it?"

"Speaking of the moon, will this month too...?"

Everyone at the table was stricken with silence. All eyes turned to her, concerning and curious. She only faced them blankly, clearly not worried about her upcoming predicament.

"I've been like that since that day, and you guys never get used to it." Fuyuki commented as she destroyed the waffles one by one. "Yes, it will keep happening till the transformation is complete."

"You've been sleeping a lot lately." Yuma mentioned with a serious tone. "Its obvious that we would be concerned. We are your brothers. Besides, you always end up pushing everything onto yourself."

"Will you still be working? You could ask 'him' to give you a break since it has worsened. I mean, you are his daughter... that way Maeki-chan can stay home and rest." Azusa asked while being generous to her, plopping down his waffle on her plate.

"There is no such of an excuse. I will continue my 'work'. Anyway guys, have you got some honey?"

"...Its finished." Yuma mumbled, somehow in an embarrassed tone.

"Why are you suddenly so soft, Yuma?" Azusa questioned him, making him blush and cast his eyes away.

"There is no need to ask, Azusa!" Kou exclaimed, holding up the empty jar. "He drank it up!"

"Like a Bear." Fuyuki snickered. The combination of her emotionless face and Kou's smirking made him go beserk. Launching his fist towards the both of them, they fled out of the house in glee.

"Well, let's just head to school now." Ruki just got up from his seat, Azusa tailing him from behind.

Nothing special during school activities. The siblings were in different classes; Ruki being a year older than the rest of them. Their arrival was actually much earlier from the usual, reasons differing from each person. Fuyuki, in this case, had band activities, much to the distaste of her brothers.

Upon entering the music room, a large figure was lying on the couch. He had messy blond hair and had a ear bud stuck on- it was clear who it was.

"Shuu."

Shuu opened an eye lazily to see her looking down at him coldly. Sighing, he sat up and let her sit beside him.

"What brings you here today?" She asked out of curiousity. He wasn't by here often since she stole this place from him.

"Dunno. I was bored." He quickly answered, relaxing back onto the chair. "Hey, play something for me."

"...If you'd like."

...

Haikei imawashiki kako ni tsugu zentsuen no shi

Saitei na hibi no Saiaku na yume no
Zankai wo sutete wa yukezu
Koko de ikitaeyou to

Kisetsu wa tsugitsugi

Ikikaeru.
...

"You chose that song on purpose, didn't you." The senior sighed. "Seriously. You're troublesome to deal with."

"Glad you think that way." She replied with a small smirk, though her voice was monotonous. Fuyuki picked up the music sheets, putting them aside.

Seasons. Shuu looked out of the window, the almost full moon shining brightly. It was rather warm considering that it was summer- which meant that the holidays were approaching in a few weeks. Pretty convenient since that would mean he wouldn't need to bother coming to school at all. The air was more humid during this season, not that it bothered him.

Being alone with a female human, who was defenceless, was a tempting situation to any other vampire. But, it was Maeno Fuyuki after all. An all too mysterious force to reckon with. Her smell was odd, the way she left subtle advice everywhere and just hearing her breath lightly- it was a little too intriguing for him to kill her like that. Besides, that other naive human would definitely be saddened.

"I will admit that it was good. Keep it up."

With that short compliment, he got up and lazily made his way into the corridor.

Knock. Someone was outside at the door when Fuyuki practised playing the guitar by herself.

"Umm, Maeno-san...can I come in?" A soft voice asked.

"Yeah."

Sliding the door hesitantly was Yui, who hastily closed it and sat beside her classmate. She seemed flustered, yet at the same time angry and confused. A mix of emotions. Coming to the music room was a good choice after all- a calming place with a calm girl in it. Ayato had demanded more blood from her earlier. Her refusal escalated into an argument, resulting in the red-head forcing himself on her and Yui reacting violently in the situation. Although she felt that Ayato was at fault, she knew that she shouldn't have reacted that way to the sensitive boy.

"Ayato again?" Fuyuki pointed at her neck, which had a band aid on it. "Asshole wouldn't stop hurting you despite your relationship. I'd be glad to whack his ass."

"Maeno-san, thanks but there's no need for that... I kind of reacted badly too." Yui cast her eyes away from her friend, bitterly remembering the words she screamed at him.

All you care about is being the best! You don't care about how I feel, the way I feel about being harshly dominated like that! You're so selfish. I can't take this any longer!

"I...shouldn't have said something so mean. He's already so sensitive to such comments, I'm aware about his past and yet-"

"Maybe you should just use this opportunity to be yourself, since he's most likely to be flustered right now." Twirling her hair, Fuyuki just stated her opinion blankly. "There's no need to be afraid. If you want to take your relationship further, he must learn to understand you too."

"You make it sound like I understand him. Well, I try to-"

"Yes. Now, before you start bawling again, help yourself to some tea." Getting up, Yui's emotionless classmate went towards the pantry to bring her tea set over. "Relax, and after that... help me grab some members."

"Oh, thanks." Yui thought about her next line. Fuyuki had always been alone in this room after all, playing the guitar by herself. No members. The club would be abolished if no one came- Yui felt extremely disheartened about this.

But why be here wasting her time when no else is around? Her friend did mention having a part-time job that in her father's company. Besides, she was an extremely lazy individual. There was only one explanation left. Someone important to her was here.

"Maeno-san...you're very kind-hearted."

"There you go fantasising again."

"But you say a lot of mean things." Yui pouted. "..."

Yui stared at the green hoodie Fuyuki was wearing. "That jacket belonged to Rito-kun, right? I saw it in your middle-school yearbook. Oh, I didn't mean to pry by the way. I was just curious!"

"Yeah."

That was the end of their conversation. Yui silently followed her out of the room, still wondering about her relation to the boy she had just mentioned. Maybe it was for the best to keep quiet for now.

"Fuyuki-chan, it's your birthday soon isn't it?" Her father asked.

The little girl sat on his lap while he held a rather old-looking book in his hands, pages yellow and tattered. They were by the river of a park close to their home, hanging about the place for a time of relaxation. Fuyuki poked at the rough leather cover, having nothing else to do.

"You're gonna buy me something, right?" Her blue eyes lit up as she spoke. A low chuckle came from the older man as he patted his daughter's head.

"Haha, as straight as always. So, what do you want?"

She pondered deeply, scrunching her eyebrows together as she thought. Looking up, Fuyuki saw a family taking pictures of their time together. It lit an idea in her head, leading her to grab her father's mysterious necklace, to his surprise.

"I want a pendant! The one you can put round your neck like this gem thingy! Then, then, you can stuff a little picture inside and keep it!"

Lifting her up, he laughed. Fuyuki continued staring at him with hopeful eyes, eagerly awaiting his response.

"Okay, you choose. We're going now."

He set his excited child on ground and watched her bounce up and down in glee.

"We'll take a picture with mom and put it inside, okay?"

"Yes, yes."

Authors Notes: The song above is "Kisetsu wa Tsugi Tsugi Shindeiku", the ending for Tokyo Ghoul Root A. Already knew? Good on you.

I thought that the original (as in the DL game) lacked daily school life interactions, humans, demons, vampire hunters and what I love the most- fights, battle and gore. It is a dating sim, so that wasn't too much necessary- but at least they could've shown us the Demon Lord.

I would love to see constructive review for further improvements!

Thank you for reading! R&R appreciated!
