Chapter One: Brother's
The late afternoon sun glittered through the buildings wide edged windows. Brining in a melting heat with it. Shielding her eyes from the blinding light that the sun brought in, Mai Taniyama stood. Walking towards the all boy school receptionist to ask for the fifteenth, yes fifteenth, time that day, how much longer it would take. The female shoed Mai on her way with a short "Mr Davis will be ready in a few more minutes" not even lifting her eyes from the computer screen that she stared at. Definitely a dating site. For sure.
Hah! Mai snorted mentally I doubt that it will be in a few minutes, after all, you said the same damn thing forty minutes ago.
Mai walked back to were she had been seated before. In front of a large European window, with blinding rays of light in her face. Irritated by the fact that she had ever agreed to the fact of coming to the school. To the mystery club, located in an all boys school. At the time, she hadn't even questioned why the boys of the council had asked her to come to the school instead of going themselves. It hit her later on that there were no female students located in the school. The fact that the school was a high prestige all boys school, reaching her ears minutes after arrival. She felt like such an idiot.
When I get my hands around their skirt chasing throats, I'll-! But Mai's threats were cut short once the door opened and walked in a very tall man. Mai's thought's were chased away as her eyes followed up his lean figure, to his straight lips, not a hint of emotion showing, to his seaweed coloured hair, and finally meeting his icy green eyes. Seeing the irritation in everything about him. His structure, his face, his eyes, and above all, his voice. Which was now telling, possibly ordering, Mai to come to the club room.
"Mr Davis is ready" he said at the very end of his, practically forced, sentence. That was the last Mai heard from him as she followed him down the halls of the all boys school. The rich prestige school could do no wrong, everything about the paint, furnishings, and school itself spelled out money. Ah, yes, money. How nice it would be to have money to spend on such a thing as school.
Mai, having lost her parents at a very young age, could barley afford the schools entrance fee that she attended. That was why she was so lucky, having her school so kind with money troubled orphans like herself.
Ahhhh, to have money. She drifted off I would definitely eat misoshiru every day. Catching herself beginning to drool, Mai wasn't focused enough to notice the lack of movement in front of her. Banging into the man that had brought her to the clubs office.
"Ah! Ashikarazu" Mai bowed her head quickly, staring at the floor as her face flooded with red.
W-Why do I feel the need to apologize so sincerely! I just bumped into him! Come on Taniyama Mai, your better than this! Even with encouragement from herself, she just couldn't bring herself to raise her head and meet though's piercing, and dare she say it, scary, eyes that she knew would be there.
Instead of a response, which she had hoped for, nothing remotely close to "Don't apologize I'm fine" or "Don't worry about it" came, instead, she received silence. Mustering up the courage to raise her head, she only caught a sharp glare from the tall man.
W-WHAT THE HELL?! Mai glared at the back of the unsettling man WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! ALL I DID WAS BUMP INTO YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU DAMN COLD GIANT! Of course she didn't dare say this to him, rather, she just knew he knew he had done something wrong. Well, that's what Mai kept telling herself.
And that's when the doors of the club room opened, and out walked the most beautiful boy she had ever seen. He held deep blue eyes, as the deep as the ocean could get, with straight black hair, and pale enough skin to be a porcelain doll. Was he a model?
"Miss Taniyama Mai, I presume?" he gave her a toothy smile, his eyes lightening up as much as his face. Unlike the possible sadist that held the door open for her. Mai just gave a silent, clueless, looking nod as she was invited into the large room. Being seated on a nearby chair, tea already being served to her by the male. He continued on "My name is Eugene Davis." He said, setting down two separate cups, one holding sugar, and the other, milk. Mai's eyes traveled around the room, catching the colour of the room; a musty gold wall paper, with small lines of cream traveling down it; the birch floorboards; and the European styled furnishings. Much like the rest of the school, possibly classier. But in the end, her eyes were always lead back to the beautiful man before her. His eyes glittering with some kind of emotion. Humor?
That's when she relised the still, and unbarring silence that surrounded her. So quiet that she wouldn't be surprised if Mr Davis could here her heart pounding against her chest right then.
"Ah!" She gasped, quickly standing up without relising that a cup of prepared tea had been placed in her lap moments before. Tea splattered everywere; on her uniform, skin, and the Persian rug that covered half of the rooms area. Mai hissed in pain, the heat from the tea burning her thighs, and travelling through her uniform to meet more skin. She didn't get a chance to apologize, because before she knew it, she was up in the air. Being carried towards a door that led to a bathroom, no dought.
"Please hold still, Miss Taniyama" Eugene said as he placed her on the sinks counter, before moving her leg until it was directed under the tap. What brisking over the stinging wounds, Mai whimpered.
"There you go" Eugene murmured lightly, rubbing his cold wet hand along Mai's legs. Mai's face turned beat red as she watched Eugene spend minutes cooling down her once burning, now slightly swollen, legs. Her hands quivered as Eugene continued mending her legs, until he had this satisfied look over his face. Showing that he was satisfied with what he had done, and this was the best that he could do.
"Uh, Mr Davis..." Mai started
"Ah, does it still hurt?" He questioned, a look of worry sprouting his face. If Mai's face could have gotten any reader, it would have. She waved her hands in front of her face "I'm fine!" She tried to grin "Arigato"
Eugene had no trouble grinning "I'm just glad your all right Miss Taniyama. How terrible it would be to have such a lovely girl injured while in our hands."
"L-Lovely?" She stuttered. Watching Eugene continue to grin.
"Why of course Miss Taniyama"
That was when silence did not exsist in Mai's vocabulary, that was when, Mr Davis, an identical replica of Eugene, entered the room. His eyes were blue as the ocean, his hair was as straight and black as Eugene's, his skin was the colour of charcoal. But other than the resemblance, Mai saw something else. She saw a cold emotion on his face, a numb like expression, and ice cold eyes that you just couldn't see into. You saw the total opposite of Eugene.
"Miss Taniyama" He said. It was no question "What is it that you need? Because if this visit is to have your lustful fanticys answered, I presume a dating site would come to good use."
W-What?! Who the hell does this guy think he is?! Mai growled mentally as she watched him start to walk out of the room, not even waiting for a response. Not that Mai had one. And as the seconds past, Eugene finally spoke "I'm sorry for my brothers accusations, he isn't very good with people" said as Mai hopped off the sinks counter. Brushing invisible lint off her skirt before turning to Eugene "No it's fine. I just was thinking...your so different."
Eugene smiled at this "Ah yes, that is just how he seems. But inside he's a good person"
Eugene began to walk out of the small cubical, Mai following from behind, she sat down at where she had been seated before. Facing Mr Davis.
He didn't wait for any greetings, he just got to the point. As he shuffled through his huge stack of papers, his eyes lifted to Mai
"What is it that you need Miss Taniyama?" He asked. All rudeness gone except for the numbness, and lack of emotion in his voice.
"Well" Mai arranged herself in a better position in the chair "You see, Mr Davis, my school is haunted."
