Chapter 3
Kurogane taught his classes like he normally would. He lectured his students on Japan's history like he usually does until his afternoon class the affects of his blood loss started to rise again. He stopped writing on the board and grabbed his forehead said, "Shit…"
"Sensei? Are you okay?" one of the students asked.
"I-it's nothing, just a little woozy." He answered. He rose his hand to try to write again but it trembled. "Excuse me!"
The students saw him run out of the room and started muttering amongst themselves. Kurogane walked into the teacher's lounge and sat down in one of the chairs. "Damn it, I knew I should've ate something to get my blood back to normal."
"You okay?" he heard and saw one of the administrators walk in.
"Yeah, just felt a little faint. I am trying to recover from a hang over." He answered.
"Never thought you would be a drunk." The administrator said.
"Well, I do it time to time, that's all." Kurogane said.
"I guess you're still new to the area, our beer is known to be a bit strong, listen, why not go home and I'll have your afternoon classes go to study hall." The administrator said.
"Thanks." Kurogane said and got up and left the lounge and grabbed his stuff from his office and left the school and headed home. He walked past the area where he found Fai lying on the ground from the night before. "This place, did it really happen?"
"Yes, yes it did." He heard and turned to see Fumo. "Did I startle you?"
"No, not really. Never thought that someone working for that lady would be walking around." Kurogane responded.
"I am an informant after all alongside an item finder so I get around to kee Yuko updated on some stuff about the supernatural. So, feeling faint at all?" Fumo asked.
"Yeah, a little, never knew that a blood sucker would take so much out of me." Kurogane answered.
"Be glad he didn't kill you though, it's no picnic dying like that. I saw so many people on the streets including my own brother a while back." Fumo told him.
"Your brother?"
"Yeah, you see the vampires might've came before you arrived in town, when they first moved here my brother kept on seeing one of them until he was fully gone for good. I don't know if he's dead or one of them,. I will never know because we don't know where they live in town." Fumo told him.
"Ever thought about chasing them?" Kurogane asked.
"If I did, I wouldn't be standing here so that's why I am working with Yuko. Now we have one of them as help that might be able to lead us to them." Fumo said.
"Yeah or unless they might try to find him if he's still alive and try to kill him. If that were to happen, I will make sure they won't lay a fang on him." Kurogane said.
"Sounds like you care about this guy."
Kurogane blushed and said, "It's not like that all right! I need to get home!" He stormed off.
Fumo smirked in delight and said, "You'll realize it soon enough and also watch out for people walking at night, that is when they strike."
"Thanks for the warning!" Kurogane called out and kept on walking.
He arrived home to find it dark and smelled something in the apartment's air and said, "Hmm? Why is it dark in here? Where the hell is that switch?" He turned on the light to find all the shutters shut and then walked into the kitchen to find Fai cooking.
Fai noticed him and came running over and called out, "Welcome home!"
"What the fuck? Why are you here!?" Kurogane yelled as he pushed him off.
"Aw, you're so cute when you're angry Kuro=pu!"
"Answer my question you damn vampire!"
"I had Yuko find the apartment you lived in and decided to have me live with you!" he answered.
"What!? Why can't she have you live with her insead!?" Kurogane shouted.
"She already has Watanuki, Maru, Moro, and Mokona living with her, so why not? Plus you need extra help with everything here." Fai answered.
"This can't be happening and I thought what happened last night was just a dream but it's a nightmare!" Kurogane exclaimed.
"It's all real and not only that, you're my supply and my puppet for my spells." Fai said.
"I never agreed to all of this!" Kurogane growled and ran to his room and slammed the door.
Fai sighed and said, "He'll warm up to me, I know it."
Yui was looking over the city as the skies over Tokyo started to change into night skies. He heard footsteps and turned to see Subaru.
"Never thought that you would mourn over your brother."she said.
"Don't talk to me about that dead traitor, he deserved to die after the plans he was going to make!" Yui snarled.
"Even Seishiro was pleased about his death/" Subaru said.
"Come on, let's do some hunting, I'm thirsty for some blood." Yui said as he started to walk off.
"Very well." She said and followed him.
"Here you go, Eat well!" Fai said after he finished cooking.
"It took you all day to make all of this crap?" Kurogane asked as he stared at the food.
"More like all afternoon, it looks like you had a few cookbooks in a gift bag." Fai said.
"It was a gift from one of my students' mothers, they knew I would need some food so they gave them to me but all I really do is go out to eat." Kurogane said as he started to eat. "Mmm, not bad."
"Is it really? I never thought it would be so fun since I drink nothing but blood usually but I do eat sometimes." Fai said.
"Then eat up, I bet you're starving." Kurogane said.
"I only do it time to time but not right now, it's not…" he stopped mid-sentence.
"What is it?" he asked.
"My brother's near." Fai answered.
Yui and Subaru passed by the apartment building where Kurogane lived in. Yui stopped in his tracks.
"What is it?" Subaru asked.
"He's still alive!" Yui answered.
Author's commentary #2
Hey all, I know it's three chapters in but decided to put in another commentary! I hope you guys are enjoying this as much as me writing it. Even though I do enjoy writing my fics , if you read the other ones I have written you would see the fun I had. Heh! Anyways, while I was writing this chapter I was debating if Subaru was male or female and I think remembered that Subaru was female when I watched season one of the anime and how she appeared when they go to Oto and how she was around when Tomoyo sent Kurogane on his journey. Another debate is his last name. I mean Kurogane's. I remembered him being called by a different name when they looked at his past. I was thinking about it since they have to call him by something when formally addressing him in the halls and class. I guess he doesn't have one, oh well. That's it for now! See ya!
