Reposted Chapter. Leave a review, your input is valuable to me ^-^
"School?"
Reiji adjusted his glasses and glared at Yui for her insolent question. It was hard to believe she was even able to keep Ren a secret for as long as she did.
"Yes. Since Ren will be, for the moment, living with us she must attend school as well. This is a final decision and I expect you to watch over her." He opened the door and peeked inside Yui's bedroom where a certain wolf girl sat waiting. "You will be joining us, hurry up before we are late."
Ren dashed out of the room and couldn't contain her excitement as she pranced around in the hallway. This newfound enthusiasm made Yui worry that the girl would be taken advantage of. Of course she didn't have time to ponder it as Reiji was already ushering them out of the mansion.
The limo was already waiting for them at the main entrance and took off as soon as both girl's were inside. They were forced to sit on either side of Ayato giving him the ability wrap his arms around their shoulders and keep them pressed against his sides.
Unlike Yui would blushed at the sudden predicament, Ren appeared purely irritated by it. She made a face and tried to removed his arm from her shoulder. Ayato ignored her attempts and settled comfortably into his seat with both of them pressed closely to him.
"Ren." Reiji addressed the wolf girl while ignoring what his brother was doing. Her ears perked up and she turned to give him her full attention.
"We've arranged an excuse for your appearance however a uniform will be ordered soon after." Ren nodded eagerly at this. "You are in Yui's class so make sure you do not leave her side- we wouldn't want any mishaps." This was accepted without question or argument. It was more than enough that she got to attend school and for that she was grateful.
"Although you're younger than Yui by a couple years you were put in the same grade to make things easier for all of us." Ayato grinned down at Ren and her fur stood on edge. "Which also means you're in me and Kanato's homeroom."
Ren muttered in annoyance but finally relented and sat back into the vampire's embrace. She was far too distracted about her first day of school to care about his remarks.
The end of period bell rang and Yui stacked her books together. Students shuffled out of the classroom, no one paying the two girls any attention which was for the most part a blessing.
"Yui, come with me." Ren pulled Yui up and hustled the other girl out of the classroom, making a beeline for their next class.
"Wait up, Ren." Yui caught her breath once again. Ren had been acting this way since school had started. As soon as class ended she would take Yui and rush to their next class. Occasionally the girl would stop and change directions, not giving an explanation to it all. Because of this, Yui didn't see Ayato nor Kanato all day except for in the classes they shared.
"Let's hurry." The wolf girl tugged Yui's uniform sleeve and pulled her down a hallway but suddenly stopped. Her wolf ears twitched and she changed direction, heading the long way to class.
Yui walked briskly alongside Ren and gazed down at her. She wore a serious expression and frowned slightly at each twitch of her ears.
Ren… What's wrong? Talk to me. Of course Yui never had the chance to ask the girl as they had arrived at their next class, History. Today it seemed they were focussing on legends dating back thousands of years ago. Seats were taken and the lesson began.
"In Norse mythology, Fenrir (Old Norse: "fen-dweller"), Fenrisúlfr (Old Norse: "Fenris wolf"), Hróðvitnir (Old Norse: "fame-wolf"), or Vánagandr (Old Norse: "the monster of the river Ván") is a monstrous wolf." Their teacher explained and pointed to the projection on the smartboard of a horrific wolf. "Fenrir is the father of the wolves Sköll and Hati Hróðvitnisson, is a son of Loki, and is foretold to kill the god Odin during the events of Ragnarök, but will in turn be killed by Odin's son Víðarr." The projection changed to a pair of new wolves who were Sköll and Hati Hróðvitnisson.
Ren stared dully at the image, not at all amused by the lesson. Her ears and tail were resting flat against her as she dragged her pen across the desk, leaving small indents on the wood.
"In the Prose Edda, additional information is given about Fenrir, including that, due to the gods' knowledge of prophecies foretelling great trouble from Fenrir and his rapid growth, the gods bound him, and as a result Fenrir bit off the right hand of the god Týr" The class gasped at a new image of Fenrir with the hand of Týr clutched in his mouth. The wolf looked savage and monstrous, the blood from the wound dripping into his mouth.
Ren laid her head onto her desk and closed her eyes. Seeing this, Yui bit her lip in distress. All she wanted to do was comfort the girl but she knew she couldn't act up in the class. She noticed something odd though. Ren's shadow appeared to expand on the floor and take an odd shape of a certain animal. Yui rubbed her eyes and looked again but her shadow was back to normal.
"What the…" Yui whispered to herself and was forced to go back to listening to the lesson.
Time passed quickly with a monotone voice leading the lesson and in no time at all Ren was already standing in front of her, waiting.
"Time to go already?" Yui yawned and got up to leave with Ren. The two girls left the classroom, headed for the exit of the building. Outside a soft breeze rustled their hair. Yui made an attempt to keep her own hair in place but gave up in the end. Ren on the other hand left her hair blow in the wind as it curled around her and looked as if it moved by its own will.
"Bitch-chan! Little Pup!" Laito called from an open window in the parked limo. Yui sighed and tugged at Ren so she would follow her into the car.
The wolf girl hadn't spoken a word since their history lesson and continued her silence in the car. Laito raised an eyebrow at her distant behavior.
"Little Pup, come here." Laito gestured to his lap. Ren looked up spooked, as if awakened from a deep thought. He smiled at her blank expression. "Over. Here." He patted his lap once again.
"I would prefer to stay here, ok Laito?" Ren plastered a fake smile onto her face and tilted her head. She didn't know why she did this but then again she hadn't come to her senses yet.
Laito internally moaned at the cuteness level. Ren thought she was able to get out of his reach but the plan backfired, "Ah so cute my little pup. But if you don't come over here, I'll break Yui's arms, ok Little Pup?" Laito mocked her head tilt.
Yui froze at her life being bargained. Ren glared but reluctantly moved to where Laito was. She was not going to get her friend hurt in the slightest.
He pulled the wolf girl onto his lap and smiled as she shifted trying to get comfortable. "Keep moving and I might not be able to hold myself back." He whispered near her wolf ears. The soft fur quivered and she moved so she wouldn't be at such a close distance. However, Laito wrapped one arm around her waist and kept her legs in between his. With his free hand he stroked her tail that rested against his chest. It twitched and flicked at his face but he kept caressing her.
Ren became flushed and her lips parted to reveal her fang-like teeth. Her breathing became rapid as Laito nipped her ears, almost drawing blood. All this pampering brought about a very unfavorable feeling to her.
"Laito. I advise that you wait until the test results come back, you don't know if her blood poses any threats to us." Reiji addressed Laito with a stern tone, suggesting he was not to argue.
"Aw… fine. Then this will have to do, for now." Laito discontinued his assault on the little wolf girl and just held her in his lap for the rest of the car ride. Yui sat quietly as well, although she would try to catch Ren's eye. When the girl finally noticed her, she saw a shadow pass in her crystal blue eyes. Before Yui could take a closer look, Ren had turned her head away and curled closer to Laito without realizing it.
"Finally here, I thought I wouldn't be able to take another minute. Yui, I'm a little thirsty." Ayato hauled Yui out of the car and headed straight for the mansion. Ren was carried by Laito under strict orders not to taste her blood. The incident from the car plagued her thoughts, although it wasn't the assault that bothered her, far from it really. She was slightly ashamed of these feelings that she felt were vaguely familiar.
What is it that I have forgotten? Ren rested her head against Laito's chest as he carried her inside. High in the sky the moon was nearly full.
