Both Ayato and Laito can speak to each other telepathically, hence their relationship is closer. When the two speak telepathically, it will be written in bold /italic, like as this, "Ayato… Ayato...Damn it will you answer me?"

Chapter 3 A slight detour .
Laito's POV
Present time …
The intoxicating swirls of suffocating silence surrounds each brother, in an invisible fog hovering in the confining cab of the luxurious stretch. Well almost every brother, I was rather tickled with the current situation...
If you happen to be a pesky fly on the wall, everything would look as it should …..Well, I mean for us, that is. No one really saying anything in the bored quiet atmosphere, however I could easily surmise most of my brothers, if not all of them, had words searing at the tips of their silent tongues.
.
With my laced fingers comfortably behind my head, I idly sink further in the crimson colored upholstery. Edging my fedora to lazily fall forward, almost concealing my keenly observant, emerald eyes. With a rather smug smile tugging at my overly confident lips, laying just below its rim, I watched the riveting family drama unfold, in the back of the limo.
.
My stormy little brother, Subaru, impatiently sits with his arms crossed at his chest, staring out at the passing scenery. Of course, even though he remains distant, keeping himself far from everyone else , the fact that he chooses to sit just a little closer, doesn't escape me….It seems with our more recent ,and mutual endeavors ,of searching for the impossibly lost Little Bitch, my turbulent little brother and I seem to be getting along….which means we can somewhat tolerate each other, long enough to collaborate our efforts.
Which at the momment, wasn't even remotely going well, at all.
It was like Little Bitch vanished in thin air, which was the norm for us, except this time…. she didn't reappear anywhere….there simply wasn't a single trace of the troublesome blond. With surrounding areas thoroughly searched, the exhausting endeavor lead us further and further away from the estate .In fact impossible distances for a first timer to teleport….it's almost like –I quickly squash the idea, as it would doom, my distraught triplet.
.
Ayato stubbornly sat at the top of the cab, by himself, like some ….dare I say it, some arrogant monarch….silently brooding, among us, but yet somehow far above us, at the same time. With poorly masked irritation, he anxiously strummed his finger, as he stared out the darkened window. With what little books he has with him, he purposely sprawls them out next to him …clumsily concealing the empty spot next to him.
.
The very spot…. his queen should be occupying.
He obstinately stared out the window, trying to pay little mind to the rest of us. Refusing to allow the slightest hint of his true, self to slip out … refusing to reveal any more weakness. Although for the time, thanks to the sluggish healing process that's exactly what my triplet has become…weak.
…. and unfortunately, that too, had not escaped the two sitting across from myself and Subaru.
"Tch, this freaking sucks. Yours Truly has better things to waste my time with. Why the hell can't I meet everyone there, instead of traveling in this lumbering beast?" Ayato's glaring emerald eyes impatiently peel away from the window.
"Easy Ayato, you don't want to tip your hat ….they can't find out about the possible true nature of Little Bitch." I inwardly warn my troubled triplet without even budging my outward lazy appearance.
Once my triplet confessed, we both silently agreed Little Bitch's state of possible health is best kept between the two of us. Erroring on the side of caution, instead of gaining considerable support with the search. Once news slips out of a potential heir to the big chair, the estate would no doubt be swarming with loyal henchman, desperately bidding to carry out "that man's slightest wish. However, it would also carry lethal intentions lurking in the darkest of shadows….
From those of us that our closest …as we learned from our traitorous uncle.
" " My ginger triplet just ignores my warning and turns his eyes back to the window.
Seeing his reaction my temper begins to boil from within, although if you were casually watching, it looked like as if I could fall asleep, any minute from boredom. As my hands rest comfortably behind my head. "You've got to be freaking kidding me…. after everything I've done for your bride….you're still going to hold me to that ridiculous name? The endless searching, the unbearable healing! Oh, and let's not forget I 'm the one who 'clued' you in to Little Bitch's rather interesting reaction to pain! You wouldn't have the foggiest idea, without me ….Does any of this ring a bell?"
" "However Ayato doesn't turn from his window.
"Fine." Seeing his underwhelming reaction, I outwardly blow out a frustrated sigh, "Yours Truly, is that freaking better?"
Kanato gently squeezes his one eyed bear to his cheek, with a disappointed look on his face,"Oh Teddy it seems that once again, we've been left out. Tsk, tsk will my they ever learn?"
"Huh," Ayato anxious emerald eyes slide over to where I am sitting, "Sorry Laito, I was just thinking …..Were you saying something?"
"So you were actually-" Despite blowing our cover, my mouth kind of hung open, in somewhat of a shock. It seemed for once my triplet wasn't attempting to make his usual point. "Uh, never mind-"
With an irritated huff, the Tableware otaku lifts his eyes from his thick leather-bound book. "Ayato, you know very well why were not allowed to routinely teleport to and from school."
"Yeah, yeah I know, it's against 'that man's' so called rules. What else is new?" Without even turning away from the window, Ayato tiredly answers our smug older brother.
And there it is …..The reason my impatient twin is grumbling about the speed of our transportation. We were all stunned when the Tableware otaku halted our efforts, insisting "that man" instructed us to return, to our normal everyday routine, without finding Little Bitch. Knowing how truly powerful "that man" is, we had no choice but capitulate …Even my thick headed triplet had to except the ordered detour and begrudgingly dress for school.
.
"Ahh, this is a complete waste of time!" With his injured arm wrapped in a solid black sling, Ayato inwardly hisses while staring out the window. "I need to be out there …searching. I know Pancake is out there, somewhere but Yours Truly won't be any help while I'm stuck here….traveling at a snail's pace. Ayato anxious eyes slide over, revealing a pleading expression. "Hey Laito, what do you think about-"
.
However, I quickly cut him off, "Don't even think about it, this time. It's too dangerous, even for us … just suck it up, and do the time ….there always after school."
"What's that Teddy? Yes, I do believe you're right, it seems 'one' of us, is having a hard time, recognizing his 'current' shortcoming." Our crazed purple headed triplet, giggles with an evil mirth, "I doubt he's in any type of shape to actually teleport to school." Kanato crazed lavender eyes peek around his one eyed bear with a truly wicked smile emerging on his lips. "I'm thinking once he arrived, he would be so weak from the trip, he wouldn't be able to defend himself, or for that matter…. anyone else….it could be a 'real' learning experience for him."
.
Ayato angrily whips his head around. "What the hell are you going on about, you freak-azoid?!"
"Ayato, just let it go ….He's right, the more you protest the weaker you look!"
"Fine, whatever." Ayato verbally huffs, while resting his head on his one healthy hand.
Reiji lifts his hand, adjusting his glasses, with his eyes never peeling away from his boring medical book. "Ayato, do try and be more patient, arriving in the limo, give us the illusion of normality."
"Normality, us? Yeah right that's a laugh." Angrily perched on the red leather seat with his arms stubbornly crossed in front of him. My platinum headed brother breaks into the conversation.
Reji lets out an annoyed huff, snapping his book closed. "Oh wonderful, the normally silent one has decided to contribute to this futile conversation," Reji waves out a gracefully hand, "Please Subaru, by all means, continue."
"Hey Reiji, lighten up on our tempestuous little brother, he has a point." I gracefully unlace my fingers, nudging the brim of my dark hat off my emerald eyes, revealing a mischievous grin underneath them, "I mean, what's so normal about a member of royalty strolling in the halls of some ordinary high school? Let alone 'the' royal underworld family. It's downright ridiculous, to think a little limo ride can change anything. "
.
"Wow, look who's defending our stormy little brother, now." Ayato shares a knowing look.
"Laito, as I've stated before, it only gives the 'appearance' of an everyday student. I wouldn't suggest we were 'actual' normal students." The Tableware otaku practically hisses out. "Far from it."
"And look who's regaining a sense of humor." I quickly tease my ginger haired triplet.
Annoyed, Ayato just rolls his eyes before turning back to the passing scenery. It's like he was hoping we'd mistakenly just drive past Little Bitch, or something. "It wasn't anything like that, it was merely an observation, that's all." Ayato inwardly responds.
"The Limo is normal, perhaps? However, it's tediously slow. I agree with Ayato." I lazily add to the verbal conversation.
"There's a surprise, you two agreeing. Like that ever happens." Kanato's crazed lavender eyes peek around the golden fur of his once beheaded bear, giving me a knowing look.
I ignored my lavender haired triplet, "Anyway …I would far better benefit from this squandered time in furthering my more, shall I say-"I raise a teasing eyebrows, "-passionate interests."
Reiji uncrosses his arms, pushing up his glasses. "Laito, you already squander entirely too much time, on your 'so called' passions."
"Says the brother who finds silverware, exciting.'" I tilt my hat over my eyes, while speaking under my breath. Although Reji ignores my comment, continuing to gather his things, around him.
"I don't see why the hell were going in the first place, there's more import issues for the family to be dealing with at the moment." Subaru huffs.
"Like perhaps entertaining a new sacrificial bride?" Knowing his true feelings for the blonde, I blindly tease our platinum brother. Hell, thanks to her little lethal stunt, we all knew in some degree Little Bitch had changed each of us, in some way, shape or form….for the most part just how much she affected us, was the only thing left closely guarded, and held at our chests. Of course, being the silent observer I am, I had pretty much figured most of their feelings out, but not all of them. My lavender haired triplet's true feelings remained an enigma.
.
"Well whatever…I don't think we need go 'that' far?" Subaru sharply turns his head away from everyone's view.
Teddy, rather likes the idea." Kanto creepily holds out his one eyed bear, from his lap. Then the old bride could be turned into teddy's eternal playmate."
"Like hell you'll touch anything that belongs to Yours Truly!" Ayato snaps at our crazed triplet.
"Ooo Teddy look at his eyes, wouldn't you say their hiding a secret?" Kanato giggles while whispering in the bear's ear. "Yes, I do believe we need to discover what my brother is hiding."
"Ayato Don't'!" I inwardly scream out towards my triplet.
"Of all the- "Ayato almost lunges for our lavender haired brother, but instead jerks back his shaky hands, tensely running it through his hair.
"Why the hell has Shu been excused, anyway?" Subaru hisses out. "Shouldn't he be railroaded in attending like the rest of us?" I could tell our stormy little brother was attempting to change the subject.
Reiji's jaw immediately tenses with the mere thought of his older brother. "That lay about, happens to be injured."
Ayato whips his head around to the rest of us. "Hello," He motions to the black sling, carefully tied around his shoulder, "and what would you call this?" My ginger headed triplet snaps in a sarcastic tone.
"Unlike Shu, you've been increasingly stupid, and refused to stay put, even when it's for Yours Truly's own good."
"Enough, Laito! You know the very reason why I can't just wait around for Pancake to just 'pop' back! With every day passing she growing more and more weak."
"Yeah, yeah I get that, but since you refuse to stay put, you can bet 'someone' informed 'that man' of your 'miraculous' recovery ….most likely to keep you from the search."
I turn to towards Reiji, lifting my hat from my emerald eyes. "It's not like our attendance isn't just a thinly vailed farce, in the first place. Just how many centuries do we really need to endure this practical joke?"
"Well, well, look Teddy it looks as if someone else has been let in on Ayato's secret."
"We all know it's what 'that man' requires." Reiji smugly adds. "Although it's quite clear, that no account lie-about is only abusing this recovery time," Reiji's fists tighten, as he can barely contain his malice for the sloth. After a split-second he remembers he isn't alone and gracefully tugs on his sleeve, while a knowing smile slithers on his over confident face ."However, it's not my place to bring it to 'his' attention. That duty befalls to 'that man', and he alone. However, I have no doubt he'll be contacted shortly."
.
"No, doubt it because the tattle tale has already alerted 'that man'." I inwardly add.
"The damn blood bags don't even go this many years!" Subaru hisses.
"Subaru, The gift of education is no jovial matter. …as for the current feeding situation, I can only say, it's being addressed ….were all going to have to-" I couldn't help but catch Reiji and Kanto share a devious look.
"Go for takeout?" I teasingly talk over the Tableware Otaku.
"Make do." Reiji clears his throat, "I was clearly going to suggest, we make do, with what we have, at least for the time being." Reiji smugly fidgets with glasses, tuning his sharp eyes towards me. "Laito, do at least attempt and keep everything in check, and well within 'house"' rules….I shouldn't have to remind you, were being closely watched."
.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the mere mention of the Tableware Otaku's so called damn rules'. "Moi? I wouldn't dream of such a thing, who do you think I am? Some pleasure driven deviant…. You act like it's the only thing occupying my mind, why I'll have you know I barely give it second thought what so ever. " I innocently motion to my chest, with my voice dripping with sarcasm….Even I had to chuckle at my mocking words.
.
Ayato only faced the window, as a chuckle slips from his lips, as well.
"After your infantile responses, I can only deduce my carefully worded counsel isn't being taken under the proper regard it deserves …. Suit yourself, your punishment won't be carried out so lightly." Reiji blindly warns as he continues to straighten his books.
Lifting a hand to my chin, I begin to sink in a teasing thought, before my knowing eyes slyly slide over to my older brother. "Of course, before you go around placing blame, shouldn't you reexamine your own recent faux pas? …I mean, Reiji, wasn't it you who was actually duped by our no-account uncle?"
The Tableware Otaku purposely avoided my sharp incriminating eyes, along with my blatant inference. He gracefully tugs at his jacket, straightening his already perfectly placed tie. "Alright, I shouldn't have to remind you, you're representing the lustrousness Sakamaki family name."
"Yeah right, ignore the issue. That's what you seem to be good at." Subaru hisses
Reiji clears his throat, regaining our attention, before raising an eyebrow over sharp warning eyes. "So everyone better take heed to the house's rules. We've drawn far too much attention with our recent absence." With Reiji's hand stopping just before the handle of the door, he turns attention turns towards my ginger headed triplet. "Oh and Ayato, you would be well advised to avoid skipping any scheduled classes," giving Ayato a rather wicked look, "Incidentally, that's just a 'friendly' reminder, from 'that man'."
.
"Yeah, yeah understood." Giving no reaction to Reiji's rather nasty look, Ayato waves a dismissive hand towards our older brother.
"See. Now's not the time for 'improvised' field trips… I'm afraid were stuck for the time being…at least we have to make the 'attempt' to go to class."
"Yeah, I guess-" Ayato inwardly trails off, sinking into his thoughts, starring out the window.
"Relax Ayato. Subaru, and I are planning to pick up our individual searches, after school, so we should lose too much ground."
"Yeah, but Laito, he's stuck too." Ayato thoughtfully trails off.
"Pardon?" My head turned towards my triplet.
"Well, if the Tableware Otaku's true intentions were to trap Yours Truly, and the rest of search, then it so stupidly backfired, on him. Not to mention…If that is indeed, what happened, He's acting entirely too smug about it."
"Who knows….He could be over compensating, attempting to cover up his own blunder. That guy always seems to have a way, around his 'own' made up rules." I inwardly huff.
"Yeah, I guess." Except my triplet's face, didn't look ….unsure.
In fact, it looked anything but.
Just a few minutes later …
With my hands in my pockets, I casually walk next to my moody ginger headed triplet, and to my surprise, Subaru is begrudgingly strolling next to me. It seems the Sakamaki brothers were loosely split into two groups, circling the fate of the missing blonde, who would be queen. With various brothers lining themselves on either side. Although, to the everyday gawking high schooler, it would appear nothing had changed during our prolonged family absence. The five extremely bored, albeit strikingly handsome brothers coolly stroll through waves of enamored students together, with only a small space between Ayato and Kanato.
.
However, it's now evidently clear ….A line had been drawn.
.
The five of us slowly stroll along the pristine painted walls and endless rows of bright red polished lockers. For a private night school, the halls were surprisingly crowed. Our follow classmates were a mix of various lifestyles, lifeforms, and social circles. With a handful of the school population, even aware of our true stations in life.
.
A sly smile quickly emerges on my lips when I notice an anxious blond awkwardly holding her books, shamefully hiding her overly bountiful chest, next to our lockers. Her cheeks brightly flushed when she noticed our impending arrival. Her hands quickly adjust her uniform, and the small golden barrette keeping her silky blonde hair out of her wide violet eyes.
.
The doors of our lockers were brightly decorated with a handmade 'welcome back' banner from most likely well-meaning mini skirted students that I have every intention to 'personally' thank. The row of lockers dedicated to our family is covered in hearts and stars and happy little smiling faces. Something most squealing high schoolers would find utterly adorable…However for most us, it's more of bothersome nuisance really. After a while the bright colored greeting becomes torn and faded, and usually takes some guy practically forever to scrape the clear tape off our lockers.
.
"Oh Ayato-sama your back." The petite blonde rushes up to my moody triplet, 'accidently' bumping her bouncing chest into his arm. "Oh your poor arm, so it's true, what people have been saying?" She hangs on my brother's good arm, flirtatiously fluttering her concerned violet eyes at him. You're having such a hard time healing…your poor arms looks so fragile. "
.
Ayato jerks his arm away from the affectionate blond, "Excuse me, Yours Truly needs to get to class." Ayato irritably walks pass the blonde and briskly opens his locker. He rolls his eyes when numerous sweet smelling stationery fall from his locker. I couldn't help but chuckle with his irritation.
.
"Geeze Ayato, would it kill you to be a little nicer?" I inwardly teased my moody triplet as I gradually continued on to my locker, stepping over the numerous lover letters.
"Just because I'm trapped here, doesn't mean Yours Truly has to like it. They should know better, by now, Yours Truly has never given them any indication I was remotely interested in anyone here…. It's just a major pain." He quickly exchanges his books, letting out a huff.
"Relax Ayato, you shouldn't fight it, it's all part of who we are… Besides, once Little Bitch is found 'everything' will be made abundantly clear. Leaving little ole me, your identical 'twin,' to console countless distraught souls across the campus…This is what high school is all about...home to both sadists and masochists, alike." I hurriedly swing my locker door open with held out hands, waiting for the onslaught of perfumed mail to flood into my awaiting arms.
.
Ayato lets out a chuckle when nothing falls, "Must everything always relate to some sexual reference, with you? I always thought this 'prison' is here to sharpen our minds...not you're uh …pencil."
"Oh please, if you're asking me that, you really don't know me."
Kanato, whose locker is right next to mine, let's out an irritated huff to our silent conversation.
"I really don't understand it, you're always so moody and yet…" I begin to search the inside of my locker, seeing even our twisted triplet received mail, during our absence. "You have got to be kidding me. …Damn, if they only knew what true nightmares await them, they wouldn't be so quick confessing their undying love. " I spot two pastel envelopes, lying flat on the top shelf of my locker. I quickly snatch them up, holding them out triumphantly before exchanging each letter, and inhaling deeply. "Besides …my mind is as sharp as they come." Allowing myself to savor each intoxicating curl of the drifting perfume.
.
"Fine, then you won't mind dealing with her now, I'm sure your 'extra credit' lesson, you have undoubtedly planned for, can wait." Ayato peeks around his locker door with a raised knowing eyebrow.
"Now, but, I-." I pull my attention from my sweet scented letters.
Ayato closes his locker. "What, perhaps as I said, you do have a little before school tutoring scheduled with our math teacher?"
I shrug my shoulders. "Actually, it's our humanities teacher, this time around."
"Sensei Oteri, doesn't she look like a thousand and own a dozen cats?" My triplet shivers with the thought.
"She's nowhere close a hundred, let alone a thousand! She's happens to be middle aged, at best. She an exquisite fine wine, bursting with ripened flavor, ready for me to tap."
"Damn 'that freaking woman' messed you up." Ayato inwardly hisses, shaking his head.
I lift a hand, nudging the rim of my hat, back on my head. "Do we really have any room to criticize, were centuries older than that….besides if you want to talk about age discrimination, let's talk about the cradle you've recently rocked."
"Laito, I'm pretty sure the term is robbed, as in I 'robbed' the cradle."
"Not, from where I'm standing." I smugly cross my arms while revealing a sly knowing smile. "Rocked, seems entirely more appropriate." I coolly lean my shoulder into my closed locker.
"Whatever." My irritated triplets lets out a defeated breath, running his good hand through his ginger hair. Laito, just take care of what's her face . I'm in no mood." He doesn't even bother avoiding the pretty stationery with his shoes, leaving clumsily footprints all over them.
"Fine, but you owe me….it seems I'm losing out more and more, when following your lead...Little Mouse, Sensei Oteri...the list is utterly endless of missed opportunities ." I let out a defeated sigh, lowing my head.
"With your lecherous appetite, I'm pretty sure that list truly is unending." Ayato rolls his eyes, "What sacrifice? Yours Truly, is simply ordering you to take a 'hungry' noble vampiress off my hands…. You two were most likely made for each other." His tone becomes distracted as he sinks deep thought. He quickly shakes his head, clearing his thoughts, while patting me on the shoulder. "Remember to invite me to the wedding."
"Don't even joke!" I accidently speak out, shrugging my brother's hand off my shoulder.
"Need I remind you of my generous warning? Don't even think about acting up, here at school."Reiji blindly interjects as he exchanges his books at his own locker, several lockers down.
"We wouldn't dream of doing anything scandalous, honest. I was just explaining to my curious triplet here, my recent, albeit insatiable hunger to expand my knowledge in humanitarian studies." I gracefully cross my chest while a teasing grin is firmly affixed to my face. "Cross my innocent heart, I have the textbook right here. I literally, can't wait to sink my teeth into such an alluring subject." I hold up a book to my incredulous brother.
.
"Yeah, right." Subaru hisses out, on the other side of Kanato. "Human studies, like you could give a damn! Even, I don't believe that one."
"Yes, I believe that is the general consensus of your bogus ambitions." Reiji adjusts his glasses, before quietly closing his locker. "Well don't let it be said, I didn't take every opportunity availed to me, when your fate becomes gravely sealed, by that man." Reiji abruptly spins on his heal, while adjusting his bag. "Come Kanato, leave them to their chosen fates." He blindly calls for our triplet, with his back facing us.
.
"Geeze, that guy doesn't have a humorous bone in his entire body," I quickly turn my attention, to my other side. "Hey, Kanato you don't have too-" I attempt to stop our triplet. However, I quickly trail off, after noticing his lethal lavender eyes glaring in my direction. "Uh, never mind." Knowing our silent gabbing is the cause for our growing separation, all I could do is shake my head.
.
Our triplet quickly places his one eyed bear in the bottom of his locker, "Here Teddy, time for your nap, it's just like our bed at home. I'll see you after class." Kanato gently pats the bear's head, before carefully closing the door. He cautiously joins our smug older brother, leaving the rest of us, standing in the hall, next to our bright red lockers.
.
However seeing some of us leave, gives the blonde vampire enough courage to once again, run up and hang on my little brother. This time abruptly grabbing his only book. "Ayato-sama, since you're injured, is there anything you absolutely need …..Or perhaps 'want' from me?" Her voice full of suggestion, and might I add, desperation. Her long golden hair sways, barely meeting the hem of her extermeanly short skirt.
.
I couldn't help but chuckle at my brother's momentary startled expression. Serves him right, bringing up that damn marriage crap. There was only one person, I ever really considered….and thanks to freaking 'Your Truly' she's spoken for. "Yeah Ayato-sama, anything come from that thick stubborn head of yours." I easily tease my distracted triplet.
.
"Aggghh No!" He roughly grabs her hand, and tosses it away from his book. "There's nothing I need from you." His emerald green eyes burn sharply with contempt, towards the flirty blonde vampiress.
"Now, now little brother, what would Little Bitch say?"
Ayato huffs, dropping his shoulders, "Fine."
"Really?" Somewhat stunned I stare openly at my brother. "I can't believe that actually worked."
His eyes never leave his recovered book hanging at his side as he grumbles through clenched teeth. "Thanks, for the offer, but I can handle it ….see ya around." Ayato begins to storm off.
"Yeah, see ya around." Her voice falls in disappointment at my brother's retreating back.
Suddenly finding myself alone with the blonde vampire, I begin to take my brotherly duties to heart. Oh well I guess….if I must… I guess it's my turn to swoop in…and get to "work." I inward joke at my so called "sacrifice." I coolly swing an arm out, over her shoulder. Leaning close to whisper in her ear. "Now, now, Kimi-chan, don't mind him, haven't I always taken care of you?"
.
Her face immediately warms with my whispered words. "Uh ….yeah….I uh guess." She awkwardly nods her head, while anxiously sliding her hair behind her ear.
My smoldering green eyes, kept her wide unblinking lavender pupils captive. "My little brother is just a tad distracted, at the moment." My finger lightly traces along her unbuttoned, top buttons, where her school tie, should be. "Forget about him, I'm no different… In fact, you might say I'm definitely the more 'adventurous' of the two." With a quick twist of my fingers her next button 'pops 'undone. Causing the flirty blonde to take in a sudden, sharp breath, making her succulent bountiful cleavage to jiggle and heave. "I'll share a little 'snack' with you."
.
"You will?" She thoughtlessly mumbles, trapped in my gaze.
"Yeah, I have nothing planned for the entire day." I clearly ignore my older brother's warning, willing take one for the team as I shrug my shoulders, gently kissing her exposed neck. "So, what do you say, care to surrender yourself to my every whim?" I barely lift my lips from the teasing kiss.
.
My lips widen in a knowing smile, when I feel the blond anxiously swallow, "I uh."
"Hey, what's your problem? Yours Truly is just trying to get through!" Letting out a heavy sigh I begrudgingly turn away from the tempted blonde. Only to witness two of my brothers tensely standing, almost toe to toe with four new students.
"Kimi-san?" I blindly ask with my back turned.
She quickly understands, stepping forward, her head leaning on my shoulder. "No one really knows where they came from. They just showed up out of the blue…. in fact the very same day you and your brothers were absent." Kimi whispered in my ear.
"Hmm, really, the same day you say?" My curious eyes watch from under the brim of my hat.
"Hey, maybe you should watch where the hell you're going?!" A brutish brunette student, lunges towards my youngest brother.
"The hell you say, maybe you should watch your step, and just back off!" Subaru hisses through clenched teeth, at the brunette student.
A smug looking student glances around the growing crowded hall, before swinging out his arms, stopping his thuggish friend. "Enough Yuma." The dark haired student graciously steps aside. "Pardon our mistake. Please, go ahead."
The blond motions her thoughtless head towards the dark haired student. His face looked earnest enough, however his piercing blue grey eyes gave off a lethal cunning appearance. "His name is Ruki Mukami, he's a third year and the new scrumptious head of the Mukami family, you see there."
"Mukami. Hmm."
"Yeah Kou, Yuma, and Azusa…and of course the dreamy looking one, is Ruki." Kimi-chan sighs.
"Dreamy looking one?" Somewhat surprised to see Kimi-chan showing anything for anyone other than myself and my triplet….since we both knew her "hunger" derived from our position of inheriting the big chair, and nothing from personal attraction.
Ayato's heated gaze burns towards the head of the Mukami family, while he tensely walks pass the four new students. "Very well, you have Your Truly's mercy, for admitting your foolish faults in haste. See to it, it doesn't happen again. "
"Ruki, are you really going to allow this guy to actually utter such nonsense?" The blonde student hisses out, to their apparent leader.
"Easy Kou." The four new students coolly walk the opposite direction of Subaru, Ayato. He just shakes his head, as a wide knowing grim appears over his shoulder.
"It seems the young prince is having a rough time, lately…
…Keeping an eye on an import bit of livestock, recently."
.
End of Laito's POV
End chapter 3.
Seeing as this chapter is running longer than first anticipated I have already started on chapter 4. I promise the next chapter will be far more exciting, this one is basically filler. I mean they all can't be page turners. Oh, and just to let you know, I recently met my million word goal .YAAAAAAA!
