Chapter 3The Story of My Life

"First of all, do you know what are we?" asked my dad, his eyes twinkling with mischievous glint.

Oh well, it looks like I know where does Tsubasa nii-san hobby to play prank comes from.

"Human?" I answered with unsure voice, because after I saw Reo-san run in inhuman speed, I started to doubt that I am a human.

My dad smiled. "Are you sure?"

"Well, actually I doubt that, father."

My dad laughed. "And then what do you think we are?"

"I don't know."

"Come on, I know you can make some guess."

I started to think. What kind of creature that run fast and graceful and beautiful or handsome and.. I turned around and stared at my dad with stunned face. It finally sink to my head, and my suspicion is being confirmed when I saw my dad grinned, showing two sharp fangs.

"Vampire," I breathed out that word. Still too shock to do anything.

"You got it right, Imouto! Great job!" shouted Tsubasa, ruffling my hair.

I quickly snapped back, back to the present and having overcome my shock, I glared at him. "Stop it! You make my hair like bird nest!" I shouted while swatting his hand away.

I cannot let Ms. Vivania hard work wasted just because of my big brother.

Tsubasa chuckled. His dark blue eyes have an amused look. "Aww.. don't be like that, my sweet little sister. I love you, you know."

I growled. This older brother of mine is starting to get on my nerve.

"Tsubasa, don't tease you little sister. She has just come you know," scolded my mother, frowning at him.

"But she is really cute, mother. I can't help it."

"Tsubasa." My mother gives him a stern look.

Tsubasa scowled. "Fine, fine."

I giggled. "Thank you mom."

My mother smiled at me, making my heart swell with happiness. She is so beautiful! "You are welcome dear." She said gently with motherly tone.

"So father, if I am a vampire then I should drink blood right?" I asked, back to the main topic.

"Well, it should be like that. But, you are a vampire which haven't experiencing metamorphosis. So, you are just the same like humans in common."

"Metamorphosis?"

"Yes. Every vampire, when they reached age 17, would experiencing metamorphosis to make them becoming a real vampire, and usually, after metamorphosis, we would know the level of the vampire."

"Vampires have levels?"

"Yes. In this vampire world there is three levels. The first level is the lowest, the vampire who is in this level is being called a Dirty-blood Vampire. Usually, they are fierce vampires who cannot be controlled and I can say that they are crazy. In the end, they are always being killed if they already crossed the line. The second level is being called as Common Vampire. They are vampire in common, just like common people in your human world. And last is the third level, they are Pureblood Vampire. They are like nobles or people who in high-society in your world."

"I see." This all vampire talk is started to get interesting.

"What level do you think we are on, Mikan?"

What do you expect? I answered Dirty-blood Vampire? Of course not they are right in mind not like the lowest level of vampire. Common Vampire? No, they didn't look like common people and common people didn't wear such a beautiful dress or tux in a family talk for goodness sake! So, I already know, they must be Pureblooded Vampire. All of them.

"I guess you are all in the highest level."

My dad smiled. "Yes, you are right, dear."

"My little sister is soo smart!" Tsubasa hugged me while smiling happily.

"Stop it nii-san, you are choking me!" I pushed him away. He is really annoying.

"Don't be so fierce like that, Imouto-chan, that cute face of yours would be gone," said Tsubasa, pinching my cheeks playfully.

That's it! I patience snapped! I intended to punch him square in the face, but a hand held me back. I looked around and found Natsume's crimson eyes boring straight into my eyes. I blushed and quickly pull my hand back.

Wait, why did I blushed? Stupid cheeks!

"Nii-san. I advice you to stop teasing her before you ended up become a pile of meat," said Natsume in a bored tone.

"Natsume, you are so mean! I just want to play with our cute Imouto-chan!" whine Tsubasa.

I sighed. How come my eldest brother acting like a 5 years old?

Natsume rolled his eyes. "You are so childish, nii-san."

Natsume grabbed my waist and lift me, making me squeaked in surprise, and put me on his seat before. Now the seating arrangement from the right is Tsubasa – Natsume – Me.

I stared at Natsume in disbelief. He saves me! Really he cannot stop surprising me!

"Stop staring. It's rude." He said coldly.

I stuck my tongue out childishly at him. "I'm not."

"I clearly saw you, little girl."

"Stupid Natsume!"

"Now, now stop fighting kids, and please watch your words. There are no harsh words in this house. Is that clear?" My mother said sternly.

"Okay mom." The three of us answered obediently.

My dad cleared his throat. "Well, where are we before?"

"Umm.. Vampire levels, dad." I said.

"Ah, yes, that's right. We are all Pureblood Vampires."

"Including me?"

My dad smiled. "Of course dear. Including you. You are our daughter."

I smiled back. "Glad to hear that."

"We, the pureblood vampire have specialties."

"Really? What is it, dad?"

"Vampires who have pureblood could drink other level vampire's blood without being contaminated or die, and it's the same if other level vampire bit them, and last one, pureblooded vampire could save human if they wanted, without changing the human to vampire."

"Wow, really? I could save human without making them into vampire?" I asked in disbelief. Because, in stories, usually human who is being bitten by vampire always become vampire.

"Yes, dear."

"That's cool!"

My dad laughed. "But you still should stick to the rules depending on saving humans."

"Rules?"

"Yes, you will learn that later in your lessons."

I frowned. "I still have lessons?"

My mom chuckled. "Of course, dear. You need everything to be a good ruler. You are a princess anyway."

"What? Princess?"

"Yes, I am queen and your father is king, your brothers are princes, so what do you expect?" My mother has amused look.

I looked down. Blush crept to both of my cheeks. "Well, I'm just surprised that I am a princess. I didn't expect that after being pureblood vampire."

"Well, you are really special, Mikan, being an only daughter of Pureblood Royalty." My mom smiled softly.

I don't know what to say anymore! My mind is in chaos because of this sudden flood of information which is shocking me non-stop.

"You must be really cautious around dirty-blood vampires, Mikan."

I shoot my head up, looked back at my dad serious face. "Why? Are they dangerous?"

"Yes. They are just like their name. Their blood is dirty. You shouldn't drink their blood. It was contaminated. Although we, pureblooded vampire would be fine if we drink their blood, it makes us impure. Because usually pureblooded vampire only drinks on other pureblooded vampire."

"Huh? Vampire actually drinks from other vampire? Not human?" I asked, bewildered.

My father nodded. "That's right. When you have experience metamorphosis, you will find your half, or to put it simply, just said that when you found your true love, and that's where you blood source is."

"But.. if I didn't found him?"

My dad smiled. "Of course you would find him, dear. I don't know why, but as soon as you experience metamorphosis, you will find an attachment to someone, and that's your half."

"What if my half isn't pureblooded? Is it possible?"

"Yes, it's really possible. There is some pureblood pair up with common vampires, it's still fine, although they would not be pureblood anymore. Several pureblooded have fallen in love with human, and make them their blood source and wife or husband of course, but usually, they would have a half human half vampire children, and that's make their children the target of dirty blood vampires, and it's dangerous. But it isn't possible to pair up with dirty blood vampires. They are way too crazy to pair up with normal vampires. But still I hope that you will get another pureblood as your half. It's really a rare occasion to have another level as your half, moreover, human. It's only once in 100 years that a vampire would pair up with human."

"Why? Why would dirty blood vampires want half human half vampire child? Why is it so rare to have a vampire-human pair? What happened to the child of pureblood with common vampire? Could we have another blood source other than our half? Why is it that we have to drink from our half? Can we eat human's food? What would I drink if I have experience metamorphosis but still haven't found my half?"

"Woah, slow down, you got many questions there, Princess. You will learn all of that later when you got your lessons," answered my dad, patting my head.

I pouted. "Don't call me princess, Dad, and why did I always get that answer?"

My dad chuckled. "Because it's a long story dear, it would took three months to get you understand all about vampires."

I grunted. "Fine."

"Anymore question?" asked my dad. His eyes are twinkling with amusement.

"But, you haven't answered my questions before, dad."

"I have. I told you that we will learn that later."

"Hmph. What if I ask the question which will end up with that answer later?"

My dad laughed. "Well, you should be patience."

I pouted again. "Okay then, how about you tell me about my past?"

My dad smiled. "You were born at 1 January 19xx here, with a help from a specialist doctor. You are our first daughter, and I still can remember our happiness when you first opened your eyes. You grew into a bubbly and cheerful child."

"You are really cute that time, dear, like a doll." My mother smiled at me.

I blushed beet red. I wasn't accustomed being told that I am cute, because from the start, if my foster mother praise me it's always 'smart girl', so I feel kind of special when my own mother tell me that I'm cute.

"But, then there is one accident that happened without us knowing it." My dad continued, his face looks grim.

"What is it?" I asked in a barely heard voice. I can felt the tension clearly in the air.

"That time, you are only 1 year old. A group of dirty-blood vampires attacked this house, and they attacked in such a short gap of time, because of that we are unprepared. They have already attacked the night before, so we didn't expected them to attacked the second time in the morning. Many of the vampire workers died because of protecting us, the Royal Family, and so as the fighters, and guards, and many more. That time, the head of the group of dirty-blood vampire – it looks like he is more normal than the others – found you, who is being hidden by your mom that time, and successfully took you and hurt your mom.." My father trailed off, he has this kind of faraway look on his hazel eyes, and I saw my mother cried silently.

"I'm sorry, Mikan. I'm really sorry, because of me, you must experience such a horrible thing," sobs my mom.

I took a shaky breath.

Of course I didn't remember the kidnapping thing, but somehow I remember the dark feeling, which is starting to crept creepily all over my body.

"W-w-what did they want from me?" I tried to control myself so I won't stuttering, but it seems I failed.

"There is a royal secret in the Royal Pureblood Vampires, Mikan," said my dad, slowly and carefully.

"What is it?" I asked, softly.

"A female royal pureblood, when she haven't experience the metamorphosis, but has being bitten by the dirty-blood, she could be contaminated. But, she won't be like them, wild and crazy, but she would be an uncontrolled pureblood and her power is beyond powerful, no one could compare with her."

My eyes widen. Female royal pureblood who haven't experience metamorphosis, it means… me. "Wh-what kind of power does she have?"

"Until now, no one know that, because the last thing this kind of chaos happen was decades ago, and the writing about this uncontrolled female royal pureblood vampire has gone somewhere that no one know."

"What's up with female royal pureblood?"

"I don't know, honey." My dad answered gently. "Although I have been living more than a hundred years, there is still many things that I didn't know about this vampire world."

I gaped. Yes, I opened my mouth so wide that I think an elephant could go in – just kidding, I'm exaggerating something. But anyway, I literally dropped my jaw to the floor because of the shock. If you ask why, of course I'm in shock, who wouldn't? Hearing that my that my biological father is more that a hundred years old, although his face is still looking young as ever. He looked like he is 25 years old for goodness sake!

"Dad, are we immortal?" I asked, carefully. My heart pounding so hard waiting for the answer of this crucial question.

My dad smiled gently. "No, dear. We aren't immortal, but we are so slow in aging, especially physically. So, it's normal if my face like this although I'm already more than a hundred years old."

I sighed in relief. Because, if I'm immortal, what would I do to spent days with no end?

"Are you sad, little girl?" asked Natsume, smirking playfully.

I punched him in the shoulder, lightly and grinned. "I'm not! I am really happy that we aren't immortal, because I don't want to spent days with no end!"

"Hey, Mikan. Do you have some suspicion towards Natsume?" asked my other older brother, Tsubasa.

I laughed. "Yes, of course. I have wondering till now, how come that he is the one who is being assigned to guard me? And why is his face looked like 12 years old boy while mine look older than him?"

"Well, it's clear that you are old, grandma," mocked Natsume, smirking.

Well, that is what you called an insult. HOW DARE HE SAY THAT! "Say that once more and I will kick your butt out of here, jerk!" I shouted and punched his cheek in one blow.

Natsume's face is priceless. He didn't expect me, the little girl could punch him that hard. I wanted to laugh, but well, I am way too angry to do that.

"Little girl." Natsume growled. His eyes piercing into mine dangerously.

I glared back defiantly at him. Hmph, I clearly not afraid of this stupid jerk! I don't care if he is older than me, or that he is my family, he is still a jerk nonetheless!

We are engaged in a glaring contest when a laugh break the heavy tension in the air.

I looked at my left side and found that Tsubasa, my eldest brother, literally rolling on the floor while laughing till he is crying.

"Ha ha ha! I can't believe it! Natsume got punched by a girl!" Tsubasa laugh out loud.

Natsume broke his glare to me and change his glaring direction to Tsubasa who is still rolling on the floor.

"Stop it, Tsubasa nii-san, or I will burn you," threatened Natsume.

Tsubasa stopped his laugh and stood up, but he still grinning ear to ear. "Okay, okay, no need to do that, little guy. I know what you are capable of."

"Shut up."

"Okay that is enough children. Natsume, you can take some ice pack in the refrigerator." My mother said it gently but not without authority in her voice.

"You shouldn't mocked her, Natsume. She is new here," scolded my father to my older brother, quite harsh.

Natsume looked down. "I'm sorry, father," muttered him, softly. He stood up and walked out from the room without making any sound, like a cat.

Guilt started to crept onto me, seeing Natsume like that. Stupid! It's not my fault! Why would I feel guilty?!

"Mikan, are you okay? Punching him like that?" asked my mother, carefully.

I looked down sheepishly. "Yeah, my fist is fine. I took some martial arts lesson when I'm still in human world. I'm sorry, father, mother, I didn't mean to punch him like that. I lost control of my anger."

My mother smiled gently. "It's okay, dear. But please try to refrain that happen again, okay?"

"We don't want our only princess to go around and punched her brothers," added my father, chuckling.

I shuffled around uncomfortably. I feel guilty, already making vital mistakes on the first day arriving here.

"It's okay, really, Mikan. I know that you are bound to snap when Natsume keep teasing you like that, and he is a boy anyway. He could endure it if it's just a punch," soothed my mother, patting my head in motherly way.

"Let's just go back to our main topic, okay?" asked my father, trying to dispersed the awkward air.

I nodded and smiled gratefully. "Thank you father."

My father chuckled. "You're welcome. So any other question?"

"Oh, yeah, how could I end up in the Jefferson's family?"

My father smiled. "We have tried to saved you many times, and after one month of trying, we finally get you back."

"Who is the one who save me?"

"Actually, everyone in this mansion were all fighting to save you, but the one who is really save you is Natsume," answered my mother, smiling.

Uh-oh, I feel really guilty right now. I just punched mercilessly my savior!

"Feeling guilty?" asked a cold voice from the door.

I turned my head and found Natsume standing there, leaning on the door frame while holding an ice pack to his swollen right cheek.

"Uh,, umm.. I'm really sorry, Natsume. I lost control." I stuttered, looking away in shame.

"Hn. Try to swing your body when you are punching someone, little girl, so you will knock them out, not just making them go angry because you make some guy's cheeks swollen," replied Natsume casually, while walking and sit back where he sat before.

I looked at him in disbelief. He gives an advice to me! How come! After I punched him like that?!

"Quit staring will you? I'm starting to think that you are falling for my handsome face," tease Natsume.

I blushed and looked away. "I'm not staring!"

"Yeah, whatever."

"Children."

"I'm sorry father!" I answered almost automatically looked up again to my father.

My father has an amused look seeing my reaction, but – I'm glad – that he didn't said anything about that.

"So, I'm being trusted to the Jefferson's family to make me save?" I tried to divert the topic back.

"Yes, and I threatened them a little to make them shut their little mouth," said Tsubasa, grinning, showing his sharp fangs.

My mother glared at my eldest brother. "Tsubasa, you shouldn't show your fangs like that to your little sister."

"I'm sorry mother." He said, but he still grinning. Oh well, forget him.

"Then, how come Natsume could be there?" I asked again.

"From the start, we have already choose Tsubasa to guard you, but he is the General of Vampire Royal Troops, so we can't send him to guard you, and our only choice is Natsume, but he is really good in doing guarding works," answered my father. "About your other question, he is still look like 12 years old boy, do you remember about the fact that vampires aging really slow especially physically?"

I slowly nodded. "Yes, but.. how come I looked older than Natsume?"

My dad smiled. "Well, it because you haven't experience metamorphosis yet, dear. Vampires who haven't experience metamorphosis will grow exactly like human being. So, Reo-san brought you here before you go into metamorphosis thing."

"But, I'm still 6 months to go before I reached 17!"

"Learning royal pureblood vampire's etiquette is quite hard, Mikan. To learn all of it need months until you understand."

"Why do I need to learn all of it before I experience metamorphosis?"

"Because as soon as you got your metamorphosis, you will have to start make your public appearance to all vampires in the vampire world."

Wow, my life is indeed like a roller coaster, suddenly turning 180 degrees.

"One more question, how come Natume's face could be the same as Hiro's face? They aren't a real twins right?"

"Yeah, they aren't. Hiro was force to drink some kind of liquid which is made by Tiergan." Tsubasa answered, starching the back of his head in guilty manner.

"Tiergan?"

Tsubasa smiled. "Yeah, he is vampire professor, the smartest vampire in vampire world."

"How long does the liquid's effect?"

"I think it started to wear off right now."

"So, Hiro's face is already back to the original one?"

Tsubasa chuckled. "Yes."

"His parents must be suspicious or something right?"

"Nope. They would feel like they have just woken up from a really really long sleep, and they wouldn't remember a thing. So, relax, Mikan."

I narrowed my eyes suspiciously at him. "You are lying about the threatening thing right nii-san?"

Tsubasa grinned. "Of course not."

I snorted. With that kind of face my brother make, how come that brother of mine didn't lie?

"Have you eaten yet, Mikan?" asked my mother, gently.

Actually, my tummy has rumbled from hours ago, because the last time I ate was in the morning. But I tried to hold it off because I don't want to cut this conversation.

"She hasn't eaten yet, mom." Natsume answered for me while smirking at me.

I rolled my eyes. Why didn't he acted like this when we are in the human world?

"Really Mikan? I'm so sorry, I didn't know." My mother looked like she is in total panic, after that she quickly go out of the room,

"Where is mom going to?" I asked, confuse as to why she is suddenly going out of the room.

"Your mother will be back, honey, just relax. She is just going to prepare some meal for you," said my dad, winking at me.

I chuckled at my dad's antics. "Mom sure is a good mother."

My dad nodded. "Yeah, I'm glad I found her."

I smiled teasingly at him. "So, how is the story of you and mother met, dad?"

My dad cleared his throat and grinned. "Well, that's a story to tell later, Mikan."

I pouted. "It's not fair!"

My dad laugh. "Just wait for it, little princess."

I sighed in defeat. Well, it's normal that I couldn't win over someone who is already over 100 years old right?

"Oh, Dad. Can I ask one more question?"

"Of course, Mikan. Go ahead."

"When will I experience my metamorphosis?"

"Most of vampires would experience their metamorphosis right a day after their 17th birthday, but royal pureblood vampire's metamorphosis is kind of a secret."

"Why?"

"Because no one could predict when it would happen. For example, I experience my metamorphosis right when I reached 17th, while your mother 3 days after her 17th birthday, and both of your brother experience it 2 days after their birthdays."

"Wow, Tsubasa-nii and Natsume experience metamorphosis at the same time?"

Tsubasa chuckled at my question. "No, Mikan. Me and Natsume have 5 years gap."

I lifted one of my eyebrows. "So, if Natsume is 19, Tsubasa-nii is 24?" I am definitely in shock because Tsubasa's face looks like a 17th years old boy.

Tsubasa nodded and smile really wide. "Surprise?"

"N-no." I stuttered, looking away sheepishly.

"Mikan?" A gentle voice called from the door.

I turned my head and found my mother's face popping inside the room. "Yes mother?"

"Come to the dinning room. I have prepared some dinner for you." She answered while smiling gently.

"Come on, little girl." Natsume grabbed my hand and literally dragged me to the door.

My face redden because of anger which is boiling inside me. How dare he dragged me like that!

"No need to be shy, shortie. You used to lead me too like this when we were still little children." Natsume smirked mockingly at me.

Ugh, a jerk is always a jerk no matter what!

"Hey! I'm not short! And let me go, I can walk by myself!" I protested while pulling my hand out from his grasp.

"Whatever. You are shorter than me, stupid."

So, he is trying to mess with me huh? When we were still in human world, I often mocked him because he is a shortie for a boy in his age, but now I can't get back at him because he is 15 centimeters taller from me for goodness sake! And I didn't even know how he could grew up so fast like that!

"But 175 centimeters for girls are being categorized tall you know!"

"Yeah, I know," answered Natsume, deadpanned. His expression looks bored.

Damned him! He really make my vein throbbing painfully because of anger!

"Just see, I will punched you again square in your face!" I growled furiously.

Natsume smirked. "I'll wait for your strong punched, dear my little sister."

Aagghh! He is totally making me mad!

"You won't be recognized as a 12 years old boy anymore." I said, trying to held back my anger.

"No problem. I'm more than glad if being recognized as a handsome man," replied Natsume, running his hand through his raven locks.

Well, I can't contain my anger any longer. I pull my hand back and punched his cheeks as hard as I can while swinging my body to add more strength to my punch. Not my fault that he taught me how to punch properly right?

"Ow!" Natsume winced in pain while quickly make some safe gap between me and him. "If you didn't accept the fact that you are a shortie, don't blame it to me!"

Ughh! Ughh! Ughh! I really want to explodeee! Really, what's wrong with him? Pissing me off every second with no end!

"I don't know what are you talking about, JERK!" I stormed away from him, quickening my pace so I could get away from him.

"Hey, little girl wait! I didn't mean my words just now!" I could hear Natsume's steps trying to catch up with me.

Truthfully, I'm a little surprise that Natsume would chase me. I thought that he would just stared mockingly at me and mocked me on the other times about this. And I know that I act so childish. Really childish. Hello, I'm nearly stepped on the 17th years old this year and I'm still acting like this! What a bummer. But I really can't help not to act childish! He is just pushing my buttons!

"Hey, little girl!"

Natsume grabbed my hand so suddenly and pulled me back.

"Ah!" I lost my balance because Natsume pull me quite hard.

Natsume catch me swiftly on the waist and smirked widely. "How is it, falling on my embrace?"

I blushed beet red, like a ripped tomato. "I want to vomit."

Natsume's lips were slightly moving, like he is holding back a smile. "Really? What a pity, I like to catch you and hugged you like this, you know."

I really can't understand him! He is sometimes kind, sometimes a jerk, sometimes stoic, sometimes cold, sometimes warm, sometimes like to tease and mock me, sometimes scary, sometimes harsh, sometimes gentle.

"Hey, Natsume-kun. Could you please don't make me jealous?"

I turned my head and saw Reo-san walked in my direction with both of his hands in his jeans pocket.

Natsume smirked and helped me to stand up. "Well, the position is really tempting, I have to admit that, " whispered Natsume to my ears with his husky voice, making me feel goose bumps all over my body, and my heart beat so fast that It could went out from my chest anytime.

I quickly pushed him away, before anything happen, and stand beside Reo.

"You should be a good older brother, Natsume-kun," said Reo, shaking his head disapprovingly while reaching for my hand.

I let him hold my hand, and I felt somehow different, Reo's touch and Natsume's touch. It's the same, man's hands, but I don't know I just feel different, it… it's like Natsume's touch is….. warmer… huh? What the heck! shoo! Go away nasty thought! Natsume is my older brother, it's impossible that I feel that way to him, it's too impossible. I should just focus to Reo's handsome face.

"Come on, mother is already waiting for us at the dinning room," said Natsume, walking away first, giving me his back.

Oh dear, why on earth did I feel disappointed when he gave me his back?
