A/N So sorry I haven't updated in a while it's been a crazy past couple of weeks for me but without further delay I present chapter 3.
10 years ago
"Now Aria I need you to go with this nice man for a bit while your Daddy takes care of a few things." Hiro Tsukino says to the small girl of 7 years old gesturing her to go with the other man in the house with them.
"Mr. Tsukino are you really sure about this?"
"I am, it is the only way to keep her safe from that man so long as she is kept moving he won't find her easily." Getting into the car Aria looks up to her father "Who wants to find me daddy, are we in trouble?"
"Someone I hope you one day will never meet, because I made a terrible choice Aria I made a deal with a demon who is determined to make me uphold my end of the bargain, You Aria."
Present
After the whole skipping class with Shu incident him and Reiji have been even more distant with one another than usual, which was saying something. Even the others could feel the tension between them and the triplets believe it or not were on the best behavior taking care not to annoy an already extremely pissed Reiji. Honestly I wished the two would just get over it because I was getting tired of them arguing with one another at every opportunity so lately I've been staying either in the library or in my room when not at school to avoid being at the center of a nuclear explosion waiting to happen.
After getting back from school that night I begin taking my uniform off to put on something more comfortable while I read and did my homework when I heard the unmistakable cocky laugh of the great Ore-Sama himself. "Well don't stop just for me, yours truly was just here enjoying the show." Turning around and glaring at the intruder I proceed to grab a pillow and throw it at him. Unfortunately the pillow doesn't get anywhere near Ayato before he catches it. "Ha did you think a pathetic thing like this would really hurt yours truly?" I didn't really think it would I had just hoped it would distract him a second for me to put my shirt back on before he saw anything. "How did you get in anyway? The door was locked I'm sure of it so did you like teleport or something?" From Ayato's grin I knew I hit the mark with teleporting, which was a very scary thought now knowing they could pop in anytime they wanted.
"So what do you want Ayato?" I cautiously ask knowing it probably was nothing good. "Your blood of course, now come here and let me suck you." But before he has a chance to make a move he's interrupted by Reiji to my relief. "Ayato what are you doing? Don't you know it's rude to enter a young lady's room unannounced." Ayato looks annoyed having been interrupted by Reiji and glares at him. "Yeah well yours truly is thirsty and it's not fair for you to keep her blood to yourself Reiji."
"He does have a point Reiji, how come you should be the one to have otaku chan's blood all to yourself?" Laito says entering the room.
"Because I am older that's why so quit complaining you two."
"Oh really now so does that mean Shu can have some of her blood since he is the first son you know, oh great and powerful Second son." Laito replies grinning while Ayato does his best to not burst out laughing. However the air around Reiji seems to cool 10 degrees at the comment made.
"Say anything like that again and I swear I will kill you Laito, quite painfully in fact." Reiji says as he begins to regain his composure.
"Yours truly has an idea" Ayato suddenly pipes up "How about a little contest to see who gets Aria's blood?" Wait, What? A contest I can't believe he is seriously suggesting something like this. "What kind of contest are we talking about here Ayato? Sounds like fun to me." Laito grins at the suggestion made by Ayato. Deciding that I have a right to say something about this I finally speak up. "Just wait a minute if your serious about this than I want a say in this contest."
"Now otaku chan, you're the prize and prizes aren't supposed to worry about the contest for them so just leave it to us." Reiji scoffs at Laito's comment "Are you really so unconfident you don't think you can handle what a little human girl comes up with?" Ayato and Laito glance at one another before turning back to Reiji and me. "Whatever, yours truly can win whatever contest we have so I don't care, she can pick." After that Ayato and Laito decide to grab the others for the contest.
"This is stupid I already picked you to be the only one to suck my blood, now whoever wins this gets it." Reiji comes over and pats my head for a moment, as he gets ready to go downstairs with the others. "Come now you really should have more confidence in me, besides if I let my prey slip away from me so easily what kind of vampire am I?"
"Not a very good one right?" Reiji grins at my answer "Exactly so there is nothing to worry about, I'm sure whatever you decide will be fine." Leaving me alone I gather my thoughts to come up with a good idea. I end up deciding on a question game about myself basically meaning the more they have paid attention to me the better they will do so Reiji I felt has the best chance. Okay I know it's kind of cheating but hey I don't want just anyone sucking my blood.
I head downstairs to the game room where everyone is gathered awaiting whatever challenge I had in mind. "So have you decided on the challenge Aria." Reiji asks me as I make my way in. "I have, I'm going to ask you all a series of questions about myself such as my interests and hobbies but don't worry I want ask anything you shouldn't have figured out by now and whoever gets the most right wins."
"Come on why couldn't you have picked something more interesting for yours truly." Ayato grumbles while I finish writing the questions and answers on some note cards. "Now whoever answers correctly first wins the point okay? So lets start with question 1 what is my favorite book?"
"Easy, Pride and Prejudice I see you reading it all the time." Reiji answers
"Correct" I grin as I show everyone the card with the answer proving Reiji was correct. "Now then question number 2 what is my favorite instrument?"
Shu smirks at Reiji before answering, "Violin obviously, why else would you play it."
"That's correct Shu" I mark down a point for Shu and grab another card. "Question 3 what is my least favorite food?"
"Mushrooms, you always leave them on your plate and now that we're on the subject I must make sure to discipline you for this later as it is bad manners to not eat what is served to you is that understood?" The mention of Reiji disciplining me gets a giggle from everyone and Laito even mouths "have fun" to me. "Errr that's correct Reiji and sorry about not eating them I just really hate them."
"Now then question 4 what is my favorite food?" at the mention of favorite food Ayato gets exited and confidently answers "Takoyaki because yours truly knows it is the most superior of all food so yours truly will take that point now." He was so confident in his answer I felt kind of bad crushing his ego a bit "Actually Ayato that's wrong it's…." Shu interrupts me then with the answer "Salmon, when Reiji said that's what we were having the other night you became much more exited about dinner than normal." I had to admit I was impressed that he picked up on that "Good job Shu that's right." I looked at the points so far and it looked like Shu and Reiji were currently tied with two points each so I move on with the questions.
"Okay favorite outfit?" Laito grins at this question and answers Lingerie to which I inform him was very wrong and toss that one out. "soooo moving on favorite desert? Which Kanato answers correctly with chocolate chip cookies because I had nabbed a couple of his from he kitchen one night, which him and teddy were not happy about.
The game goes on for a few more questions and by that point its clear no one but Shu and Reiji had a chance so everyone else pretty much quits and watches to see what happens. The two were neck and neck even after throwing in some really difficult questions that I honestly didn't think anyone would get.
"Okay last question what is my favorite color?" I ask relieved it was the last question and this would be over soon. "Purple, because it's what color underwear your wearing right?" Shu smirks
"Ummm well yes and yes." I say embarrassed at his answer. "How would you know that Shu, have you been peeping on Aria." Reiji yells furiously at Shu "Maybe, maybe not." Shu says cooly.
"Alright! That's enough just let me tally up the points real quick." Everyone looks on anxiously as I see who won. Looking over the points I notice there is a huge problem Shu and Reiji tied. "Ummm so don't freak but we have a tie between Reiji and Shu so should we just have a tie breaker question then?."
"Oh come on why don't you two just share her blood so we can be done here." Subaru bursts out clearly annoyed at how long this was taking. Unfortunately for Subaru, Shu and Reiji aren't too pleased with that suggestion. "I AM NOT SHARING HER!" both yell in unison which would have been funnier if both didn't look like they were ready to rip the others throat out. "~Oh! I know the perfect tiebreaker question, how about what does otaku chan find most romantic~" Laito suggests to everyone who all seem interested in what the answer is.
"Seriously? You couldn't come up with something less embarrassing Laito?" I sigh in defeat knowing everyone's curiosity was too peaked to just let me push the question aside. I make a move for a note card to put an answer down when suddenly Laito grabs it out of my hand and rips it into pieces. "Now otaku chan I think we can all agree this is the type of question that's answer should be seen not read." And at that Shu gets up and walks toward me.
"Ummm Shu what are you doing?"
"Giving me answer." Shu answers and smirks at Reiji mouthing something along he lines of "Watch this"
Grabbing me Shu pulls me toward him and licks my neck seductively until he finally finds my weak spot earning him some rather embarrassing sounds from me. I take a step back thinking he is done but he only pulls me closer capturing my lips with his. I had to admit everything about what he was doing should have felt good but it just felt wrong, Shu wasn't the one who should be trying to make feel this way I think that maybe its supposed to be Reiji. Unable to take it any longer I push Shu away from me surprising everyone.
"Well then looks like a wrong answer to me, so I guess that means it's Reiji's turn." Laito says turning toward Reiji expectantly. "I refuse, I see no reason that I should have to prove anything to you lot and this sort of thing should only be in private not in an open room for everyone to view." I was really happy that Reiji wasn't going to do anything in front of the others because he was right, being romantic with someone should be in private because it makes it all the more special so I guess what I found most romantic was being able to spend time alone together. "Point for Reiji, so he wins." I smile and walk out leaving the others to figure out my reasoning for awarding Reiji the point themselves.
When I got back to my room I was surprised to find Reiji already there waiting for me. "See I told you I would win." I grinned at him and replied, "I knew you would and I'm glad it was you and not one of the others." Instead of saying anything Reiji appears right behind me seemingly out of nowhere and wraps his arms around me. "Is that so? I had no idea you wanted my fangs at your throat that badly." Chuckling in my ear Reiji begins to lean in toward my neck. "I hope you don't mind but I'm taking my prize now."
A/N so how was it? I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and let me know if there is anything in particular you want to see with Aria and Reiji
