Alright. Here's chapter 2 as promised! This one I had to split in two because it was way too long. Oh well.
This one copies off of chapter 9 of KazuCat's and it may be a little different from her's but, it's what I needed just to get Subaru's thoughts in right.
Hope you enjoy this one as well as the first.
Once the bell had ringed for school to be out for the night, both human and vampire woke up with a start. Both had fallen asleep a little after the feeding. The two stood up, stretched, and got ready to leave the roof.
"Well, that was fun."
Jackie said while heading towards the door. Subaru nodded in agreement and followed her out. When the two reached the gates of school, Jackie started to head for town.
"Hey, where are you living?" Subaru asked.
"Why? You've fallen for me and now you wish to come visit me now?"
Jackie asked with a smile forming on her face.
"Tch, no."
Subaru turned his back to her, "In case I'm thirsty again, I want to know where I can find you."
Turns back to look at her slightly. Smiling, "Fine. A large, private farm area on the far east side of the city. I live in one of the barracks alone but, I'll leave that to you to find out which one. Night Subaru, see ya later!"
With that said, Jackie headed home. Subaru stared after her for a few moments then turned to head home himself. On the way, he noticed that her scent was on his jacket. It was faint but he liked it, gave him some comfort somehow. Once he arrived at the mansion, he headed for his room, hoping to change before any of his brothers got a little nosy. Unfortunately, Reiji stopped him halfway up the stairs.
"You are late, Subaru."
"Tch."
"I was hoping I wouldn't have to go out and find you. No matter. Head to the dinning room for supper now. It is my favorite 'time' of the month again. Do not be late."
Reiji then headed down the hall to find Shu.
Subaru cursed quietly, "Why now of all times?"
He turned around, walked back down the stairs, and headed into the dinning room. Inside Ayato and Kanato were already present and seated. Subaru took a seat at the end of the table near the door. He glanced over at Kanato, who was talking to his teddy bear. He remembered what Yui had told him about the rape, that Kanato had taken part of it after being convinced by the younger triplet. He clenched his fist in anger under the table and looked at his empty plate. The action did not go unnoticed though.
"Hey. What's got you so worked up Subaru?"
Subaru looked up, Ayato was staring at him from across the table. His emerald eyes sparkled with curiosity. Subaru just sat quietly and glared at his older half-brother. Ayato wasn't having it.
"No seriously. What's got your fangs in a twist? You seem angry at Kanato for some reason."
That got Kanato's attention from playing with the bear, he also looked towards the youngest for an explanation.
"It's none of your business."
Subaru turned to look at the wall instead.
"It is my business to know what I done wrong to you of all people."
Kanato answered back, Subaru didn't answer.
"Hey! Listen here you-"
"Ayato! Sit back down right now."
Reiji came in dragging Shu into the dinning room. Shu sat in front of Subaru and just stayed there listen to whatever music was playing at the moment, ignoring everything else. Reiji sat on the other far end of the table, same side as Subaru.
"Ayato. Did you tell Raito and Yui to be here?"
"Yes. They should be coming by now."
"Good. Now we wait."
Silence passed by the entire table. No one said a word or moved much. Subaru thought again about Jackie's scent. He knows he smelled something like it before, but unsure where exactly. He was getting annoyed just trying to remember. Just when he was about to remember something about it, Raito walked into the room carrying Yui in his arms. He saw there was a cut on Yui's knee.
'Did that pervert do that to her?'
He watched as both sat down near him, Yui right beside him and Raito on the other side of Yui. Reiji finally declared that everyone could eat once the two were seated.
"Yui, what happened?"
Subaru asks her quietly. Yui replies saying she fell by accident.
'Yeah right. Sounds more like she's covering up for 'him' again. When will she learn?'
He started eating when he heard some rustling sounds. He glanced over and saw Raito messing with Yui while she was trying to eat. After a few more minutes, he finally had enough.
"Get off of her! Can't you see she doesn't like it?"
Subaru growls at Raito, Raito in return starts to play innocent.
"Don't start playing innocent with me, you pervert. You constantly disrespect her, along with any other girl you meet. I don't even understand how Yui could like such a repulsive person."
Subaru was starting to get pissed off at the older boy and the girl, who wasn't doing anything to defend herself.
"Subaru, sit down." Reiji orders.
"I won't. Not until you punish this pervert!" Shouts Subaru while glaring angrily at Raito.
"So noisy." Complains Shu, Subaru ignores him.
"I don't even understand what you're accusing me of." Raito says while laughing a little.
Subaru looks at Yui to see if she'll defend herself against Raito or will she take Raito's side.
"Yui."
Getting impatient with the girl as she looked scared and sad, unsure of what to do.
"If you keep letting him get away with this crap, he's going to keep disrespecting you! He's not a child, he knows what he is doing is wrong, and he keeps doing it anyway. Because he knows you'll let him get away with it!"
Hoping what he said would encourage the girl to stand up for herself, he couldn't believe what she told him in return.
"I'm so sorry, Subaru. I know you're trying to help me…. I-I don't know what to say…" Yui replies while starting to break down.
"Aww, you made Bitch-chan cry."
Raito says sadly, Subaru guessed it was just an act for Yui.
The three didn't notice Shu leaving but they did notice Reiji's anger.
"That's enough! The three of you leave now and I'll deal with you later!"
The three of them got up out of their seats and left the room. Subaru was thinking he could settle the argument out here in the hallway. Unaware of the other vampire's presence for a moment he was surprised a bit by the next few words that left the pervert's mouth.
"Hmm, Subaru?"
Raito had snuck up behind Subaru and started sniffing him. Subaru backed away a few steps to put as much distance between the two of them as possible.
"You smell like a human girl, not Bitch-chan, but a different one. Hmm."
Subaru had forgotten that Jackie's scent was still on his jacket from earlier. He had a bad feeling of what was coming next and he didn't like it.
"You found a new bitch and you didn't even care to share? Maybe I might want a taste of her blood too or other areas. I'm sure she wouldn't mind me licking her up. Bitch-chan liked it the other day."
Raito said, once he figured out why there was another girl's scent on Subaru.
Subaru was horrified for a second, thinking about what he meant. Once he figured that out, he was fuming with anger. Subaru shoved Raito up against the wall roughly. Behind him, Yui was shocked at Raito's words.
"Raito, how could you say that? Would you really get with another girl?"
"Bitch-chan, I said you were my favorite but, that doesn't mean you'll be my last. I'm not that sentimental."
Raito replies to Yui while Subaru held him in place. 'Just this once I'll give him a little revenge for Yui once more.' Subaru then punched Raito in the stomach hard enough that his hand almost went through Raito. Yui was crying behind Subaru but didn't stop him this time, for that Subaru was glad.
"Shut up! I'm not letting your filthy fangs touch any girls I know!"
Subaru yells at Raito, remembering the girl he had just met and enjoyed company with.
"Heh, we'll see about that."
Raito replies and sticks his tongue out at Subaru. That got him boiling with anger.
"I said SHUT UP!"
He punches Raito so hard in the face, he swears he heard a few cracking sounds. He then lets go of Raito and lets him drop to the floor. Subaru starts toward the door but not before giving Yui a little help.
"Maybe you'll understand what I was telling you now."
Softly apologizing to the broken girl. Not wishing to stick around any longer he left down the hall.
Subaru made his way to the back of the house. He headed towards the back door, quickly wishing to get out. Just when he reached for the doorknob, he was stopped yet again by a voice behind him.
"Where are you going? Reiji still has to punish you for disturbing supper."
Subaru turned around to see Shu leaning against the wall behind him. His cool, ocean blue eyes were fixed on the youngest heir.
"Out for some fresh air."
Subaru answered to the older vampire. Shu wasn't completely convinced. He pushed off the wall and headed towards Subaru. He stopped a little distance from the younger one and inhaled deeply. Shu asked again, more serious this time.
"Where are you going? If you're thirsty, go down into the cellar and fetch yourself something."
"Why? You and I both know full well that I despise drinking any blood from down there."
"You and that wanna be pervert are pretty loud. I easily heard you found new prey to feed on and I'm guessing you are not interested in sharing."
"What's your point?"
"I'll be willing to let you go if you allow me to have a drink as well. With that pervert holding on to Yui, I can't get near to have something to drink."
"She's in your year, it's a wonder you haven't ran into her yet."
Shu was surprised on this bit of information.
"Oh? Can you tell me more?"
"No. That's all the hints you are gonna get. Can I leave now?"
Shu sighed, knowing that it wouldn't be very possible to ask for more unless he'd want the younger vampire to collapse a wall or worse.
"I'll stall Reiji and get him to let you off your 'dinner interruption' punishment. Go before I change my mind."
Shu turned his back to Subaru and Subaru didn't hesitate to race out the door. Shu turned back around to watch his little brother leave out towards the city.
'So, this girl is in my year. Thought there was something familiar about the scent on Subaru somehow. Oh well, takes too much effort to go through all that thinking and remembering.'
Shu left and went back to his room, deciding to tell Reiji about Subaru later. Subaru headed towards a park and sat down on the nearest bench. He thought over what happened in the past couple of hours. He didn't have any idea of what to do or where to go next. After a few more minutes, Subaru got off the bench and started walking into the night.
There you go. Hope you enjoyed.
