Usagi and Yui had barely passed the water fountain when cold rain descended upon them. Yui dashed for the small overhang of the door. Usagi giggled and quickened her pase as well.
Yui picked up the knocker and clanked it against the door. There was silence. She knocked one more time then tried the handle. Which wasn't really needed since it opened on it's own. Yui stepped through but Usagi was hesitant. This doesn't look like a good idea. But she followed her inside anyway.
The inside was dark, barely any of the lights were on. But from what she could see it was a very grand entry hall. But she had seen better.
"Hello? Is there anyone here?" Yui's call echoed in the large space. There was no response and they walked further. The hall opened up to a sitting area and they saw a boy laying on a lounge chair. Yui approached him and tried to wake him up.
"Excuse me, please." She touched his hand laying on his chest.
"Ah, he's so cold. Are you okay?" She said and brought her head to his chest. Yui paused for a moment and Usagi started to wonder if Yui knew what this place was.
"He has no pulse! I need to call an ambulance." Yui said as she pulled out her phone.
"I don't think that's necessary." Usagi said as she approached Yui
"What do you mean?" Yui said shocked at how calm Usagi was.
"Don't you know what he is?" The movements of the puppet slow with Usagi's serious tone.
"Huh?" suddenly Yui's phone was snatched from her hand. The boy that had been laying down before was now holding Yui's phone, eyes still closed.
"This isn't even your house and you're being so noisy." He grumbled opening his neon green eyes. Yui looked very surprised as he sat up.
"You're alive." She gasped. Usagi took several silent steps towards them, getting concerned about the situation.
"Of course, why wouldn't i be?" He spat.
"Well, your heart wasn't beating and you were so cold." Yui began to stand when the boy pulled her down and loomed above her.
"What are you doing?" She gasps.
"What am i doing? You know exactly what i'm doing. I'm going to take you." He leaned forward close to Yui's neck. Usagi rushed forward and yanked him by his collar. Yui dashed behind Usagi as the boy fell back on the love seat.
"Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing?" The boy yelled in anger.
"Keeping a perverted weirdo from attacking an innocent girl." The movements of the puppet were quick and angered. Usagi's face was contorted in a growl.
The boy was going to say something when another voice interrupted them.
"Ayato, what's all the commotion down here?" A proper male voice called from behind.
"Damn it, it's Reiji." The boy, now known as Ayato, muttered. The other boy, Reiji, walked closer and looked very displeased with the situation.
"This is the entrance hall. It is meant to great our guests. I expect you to take such activities to your room, Ayato." He stated in his authoritative tone.
"How boring." Ayato muttered. Then Yui dashed to Reiji's side.
"Could you please help me?" She pleaded in her scared voice.
"And you two are?" Reiji asked in his cold voice.
"I'm Yui Komori. My father said i was supposed to live here." Yui said hopeful to get things cleared up. Usagi removed her hood, fully showing her face.
"And i'm Usagi Deamonne. I was sent here to work out the treaty." The puppet moved slowly with more polite gestures.
"I have herd nothing of you." he looked at Yui and then turned to Usagi. "I was, however, made aware of your arrival, Miss Deamonne." He did a slight bow and Usagi returned it.
"Ayato, do you know anything about this?" Reiji gestured to Yui.
"How would i know anything? you never mentioned anything about living here, Pancake." Ayato complained.
"Well you attacked me before i could say anything. Wait, you said pancake. Did you mean me?" Yui asked offended.
"Of course i mean you, idiot. You're as flat as a pancake." Ayato returned annoyed.
"This is odd. I am only aware of Miss Deamonne." Reiji said thinking aloud.
"Excuse me, but who are you?" Yui asked and Usagi's concern had been confirmed.
This girl really didn't know what she had been put into. Who ever sent her here should have known who lived here. Maybe there was a mistake. Hopefully this can get cleared up and she can go where she is meant to be.
"We shouldn't talk about this here. Follow me. Take care of their luggage." Reiji began walking away when a butler came and took both suitcases and Usagi's cloak. Then he backed away slowly, disappearing into the shadows. Yui seemed rather shocked, again, and Usagi was already following Reiji. Yui stared at Ayato for a moment before following Usagi and Reiji.
