This story is based on the manga. So Anju's blood preference is loneliness and Boogie-kun is still very much alive (yay)

A Fun Game (2)

Anju lay there face down with Katsu on top of her. Katsu was pretty heavy and Anju's body wasn't exactly the athletic type.

"You alright?" Katsu asked. He couldn't do anything either, and he didn't exactly aim for landing on top of a girl. If anybody passed, they would call him a rapist and he would he arrested straight away.

Anju couldn't respond, her face was painfully on the ground.

"Did they hurt you?" Katsu asked with concern in his voice. He didn't realize that Anju couldn't answer.

Anju started feeling a perplexing sense of security when she heard that. Whoever her rescuer is, she found that he had quite a charming voice. This is the first time that she felt enticed just to someone's voice.

Two more minutes passed in silence. The anesthetics started to wear off on Katsu. He got a much lighter dose than Anju, and his body was larger and heavier. He groaned, stood up and stretched.

"Damn that felt good." Katsu said out loud. Still not hearing a response he turned around to see what is wrong with the vampire that is supposed to save. He saw Anju on the ground face down. That looks like a really painful position to fall…

He walked over to her, grabbed both of her shoulder and turned her around. He was stunned by what he saw. He looked at her long beautiful tresses and the matching Lolita dress. I think I understand lolicons a little better now…

But her outfit and long tresses aren't what surprised him the most. He looked at her eyes. He stared at Anju's solemn eyes for a few second. Never before has he seen such beautiful eyes. The intense seriousness, yet there is a slight hint of seductiveness. Combined with the long, dark eyelashes, they were the most beautiful and mysterious thing he ever saw. He felt being drawn into the deep eyes, as if he could simply lose himself by gazing into them.

"Who are you?" Anju asked with a solemn tone. She didn't like being stared at while her body was paralyzed. Too dangerous.

Her sudden question pulled Katsu out of his trance. "Uhm…yes, yea right" Katsu stuttered. He grabbed both of Anju's arms and pulled her up, only to let her go again, causing her to automatically fall to the ground. "What are you doing?" Anju asked, sounding irritated. She felt tempted to give her 'rescuer' her Stare of Doom. She didn't like being toyed around.

Katsu was still a little in his trance. He still stared at Anju. There was something about her that got him nervous and exited at the same time. He blinked, rubbed his eyes and shook his head a few times.

"Oh right, I'm Katsu Takahashi. Nice to meet you." Katsu said with a smile.

Anju didn't reply. There was something about Katsu that perplexed her. Maybe it's his voice? Or his gestures? Or because of the whole situation? She wasn't sure.

What she felt was the most perplexing was the sudden sense of security she felt when Katsu turned her around. She knew that she wasn't safe and that the vampire hunters could return at any time to finish her. She also didn't understand why they have run away in the first place. She wondered if her charming rescuer and the vampire hunters were allied, but she decided that she should get herself out of this place first before worrying about other things. Survival first, revenge later.

Katsu continued to look at her lying on the ground and sighed. Hopefully she is light. He knelled down, one arm under her shoulder, one arm under her knees, lifted her up and started to carry her towards the bench.

"What are you doing?" Anju asked suspiciously. As long as she has no control of her body, she can't control her bats. She felt extremely vulnerable, but somewhat safe at the same time.

He set her down on the bench and dropped himself next to her. The anesthetics still got him a little, a felt pretty weak.

"Just give me a sec" Katsu said while catching his breath. "I'll bring you home as soon as I regain my energy."

"You don't know where I live" Anju said with her usual emotionless voice.

Katsu gave her a quirky smile. "Trust me, I will know." He wasn't sure whether or not it was safe to act smart with a vampire who looked so cute yet so solemn at the same time. He decided to take his chances, he just couldn't help himself. He started to feel a certain thrill for this little game, mainly because this is the first time where he felt that he has the upper hand over a girl.

He bent down in front of her and wrapped his arms around her lower legs. With one swift motion he stood up with Anju safely on his back. Katsu was surprised at how light Anju was. He expected her to be much heavier.

"Well then, let's go" Katsu said and started to walk in the direction towards the mansion. After a while Anju started to notice that they were actually heading towards the right direction, and that her numbness still hasn't gone while Katsu already had the strength to carry her.

"How do you know that this is the right direction?" Anju asked him.

Katsu didn't say anything for a second. He hasn't exactly thought of that. He couldn't tell her that an entire group vampire hunters has helped him spy on her. He needed to buy himself some time.

"Well…" Katsu replied slowly, thoughts racing through his mind trying to come up with a decent lie.

"How do you know?" Anju asked again, this time even more solemn tone

"Uhh…" Katsu stuttered. Damn this girl pushing me hard. Katsu himself was surprised that he couldn't think of a decent lie to answer her question. He is the type of guy who could talk himself out of almost any situation.

"You just look like the type of person to live in a old house like that" Katsu blurted out. Damn this lie sucks…but it should cover me up for now.

"What do you mean?" Anju asked, sounding slightly offended. I'm going to wipe his mind of his memories of me as soon as I regain control of my body.

"Uhm…I just mean that you look like to live in there." Katsu said. "I have never seen you around in the neighborhood before, so I figured you must live in there since I don't know who lives in there. I practically know everybody in this neighborhood." Katsu himself knew that this was impossible. Tokyo has a population of over 35 million. Knowing everybody in a single neighborhood is impossible.

"You're saying that you grew up here?" Anju asked him.

"Yeah" Phew, she seems to be buying it.

They both didn't day anything for a few minutes. Katsu's arms started to get tired.

"Uhh…so what's your name?" Katsu asked casually, trying to end the awkward silence.

Anju considered her answer for a few seconds. She wondered whether it was save to tell this person named Katsu her name. She laid her head on his shoulder, feeling his warmth. She inhaled Katsu's scent. She found it to be quite pleasant. This person's blood must be delicious. She smiled a devilish smile to herself. She considered biting Katsu from the back when she regained control of her body.

"My name is Anju Maaka" Anju answered with no emotion.

"Anju Maaka…" Katsu repeated to himself. This girl doesn't show any emotion does she.

"How old are you?" Katsu asked casually again. He wondered if it was true that vampires can grow very old. Maybe this Anju girl on my back is over 50 years old. That would explain her long silvery tresses.

Anju didn't say anything for a few seconds. Little Katsu is pushing his luck she thought to herself with a freakish smile that only Anju could manage.

"How old are you?" Katsu asked again. "You already told me your name, might as well tell me your age."

"Isn't it rude to ask a lady of her age?" Anju answered no emotion while smiling devilishly. She really liked Katsu's scent. Even though she isn't thirsty, she wants to taste his blood.

"Is that why you wear that huge dress? To be more ladylike?" Katsu returned with a smirk on his face, knowing that Anju couldn't see him. I'm not going to lose to a girl – vampire or not- in terms of comebacks. He didn't realize that Anju was dodging the question.

"This is simply what I like" Anju answered, still with no emotion.

Stalemate settled in. Katsu started to climb the hill to the ready-for-demolishment mansion. He started to sweat, which mixed in with his scent.

"You want to take a break?" Anju asked with no emotion, mainly concerned because she didn't like how the sweat was spoiling Katsu's scent.

"Nah, it's alright" Katsu replied. "We nearly reached the top anyway." He could already see the front door.

Katsu started to wonder if this vampire was playing with him and would knock him out as soon as she got the free ride back home. "Can you move your body?" Katsu asked.

"I can't…"

"Oh…" Dang, just how large was the dose that Jun shot into her?

They were ten meters away from the door. Katsu raised his head to see how much further it was. He could see the door, and a bearded guy with pointed chin and spiky hair. It was Henry.

And finally the fourth chapter is out. Sorry for the long wait, but I've been as busy as hell in the last week or so. Major essay assignments, house shopping and school scouting in Beijing and I still have a physics lab report to write...from scratch. Hopefully I passed the entrance exam for Dulwich. Anyways, I should get a little breather once I'm done with the lab report and I will use that time to write as many chapters as my keyboard lets me. By the way, I kind of noticed that my chapters were getting too long, so I will try to keep each update around 2000 words.

Thanks for reading!
