Two Breathes Walking; Chapter 4: The Forth Meeting; Ai vs. the Sakamaki Brothers
At the hospital, Ai waited outside the as the doctor looked at Yuzuki, it was passed seven in the morning and they still hadn't heard anything. So many thought ran through his head, what if it was serious and she had a concussion, what if she didn't wake up.
'I shouldn't think like that, she'll be fine' he told himself, he had to believe, he just had too. Looking down at his lap, Alex was curled on his knee having fallen asleep, soft snores escaping her lips. Just then the door opened revealing the doctor,
"Hey doc, is Yuzuki going to be okay?" he asked jumping straight to the point, the old doctor adjusted his glasses, looking over the sheet,
"Are you family of hers?" he asked
"Um, well kinda…she lives with me and my sister, so we are like family" he said, he never really thought of it, Yuzuki was Yuzuki, she had grown and become a fixture in the mechanism of his life.
"I see, well you'll be happy to know your friend is fine" he said, a relieved feeling falling over the male as he heard the news, "She had a nasty bump on her head, but it's nothing serious" he said
"We gave her some medicine and bandaged her wound, she just needs some rest" he said, suddenly nurse came up, showing him a clipboard, possibly for another patient.
"Excuse for a moment" he said and prepared to walk away
"Doctor, if it's okay, can I…go see her?" he asked
"I don't see the harm" he said, "But please be quite" he said almost hushed, Ai nodded giving him a quick thanks before picking up his sister and heading into Yuzuki's room. Carefully holding his sister in his arms, he maneuvered quietly, taking a seat next in a chair near the bed. Yuzuki laid peacefully on the bed, soft snores escaped her lips as she laid on the hospital bed. Her head was bandaged firmly with gaze nestled under her blond curls.
"You know…sometimes your more trouble than your worth" he sighed breathlessly, "Sleep well Yuzuki" he said watching her. But as he looked at the girl on the bed he felt…strange somehow. It was a feeling he couldn't understand, as he carried her to ambulance he heard her muttering, possibly gibberish from her dazed state. But in the moments where some of the speech was vaguely clear, well at least to him, what most people didn't know about him is that he had 20/20 hearing, the same with his eyes. Anyway, when she was muttering, he heard names spoken from her lips,
'Aya…aito…baru…Rei…to….Shu' it was broken, but that was the jest of it, though she sounded so sad when she said it, was it someone from her past, something that brought her sadness and pain.
"Mm, Ai-ni….?" The groggy voice of Alex said
"Well good morning sleepy beauty" Ai said watching as his sister rubbed her eyes cutely,
"Big brother?" she looked around, "Is Yuzu-chan okay?" she asked noting they were in the hospital
"Yeah, she's fine, she just needs so rest" he said giving the girl a comforting smile as she nodded, but then yawned showing hoe tired she was.
"Hey why don't you go back to sleep?" he said
"Huh? What about school?" she yawned again, "I have homework to turn in tomorrow" she said, which beg the question if it was only her second day how could she have homework.
"It's fine sis" he said, "I'll call the school later, now get some sleep, it's been a long night" not even a second later the girl was out like a light. Ai continued to watch the other sleep, feeling the lull of sleep falling over him,
"Maybe just, a short nap…." He sighed closing his eyes he allowed himself to enter the realm at slumber…
In a large mansion that overlooked a small village, servants went about their day doing the daily choirs of the home. The door to one of the rooms burst open, out ran a boy, no older than 12, ran out the room nearly tripping as he made a dash down the hall. The sound of shouting could be heard from the bed room, the voice belonging to the master of the household,
Ignoring the yells and fits of anger, he rushed passed the servants, up the stairs until he reached the other side of mansion. With a quick click of the door open he quickly slammed it shut. The room rooms of the mansion were extravagant filled with many fine items, silk sheets, satin curtains, furniture imported from far away countries; yes they truly were magnificent he had seen them many times before. Changing the silk sheets of the bed, dusting the imported furniture, and scrubbing the floors on his hands and knees like a dog.
"Big brother?" a voice called, the door slowly opened, rosy red eyes meet equally red eyes, a young girl with long cropped black hair, wearing a simple red dress with a white apron tied in a bow in the back.
"Sis" the boy watched the girl walk in, a stuffed bat toy in her arms, she carried it around everywhere with, ever since her brother had given it to her.
"I saw you run in here, are you okay big brother?" his sister asked walking a little closer to him as he stood in the middle of the room.
"Yeah…" he groaned breathlessly, "The 'he' was having another tantrum"
"If we get caught in one of the guest rooms, uncle will get upset and again…" now and again the master of the house would call him to his study, he stand before the scarlet haired man, his one good coal black eyes staring holes into him. It was a variety of things that made him call the servant boy to his room, something got broken, something was missing, or a grievance came up and all blame would fall one person…him. The meetings would range from a variety of things, whippings, beatings, burnings, the occasional broken bones, making him stand in cold water until his legs went numb and he lost feeling, the list went on and on. But the servant did not complain, he did not cry or argue, if he did the consequence would be direr then any punishment he had endured.
"Don't call him that…" the boy caught the girl off, "Huh? But he's are uncle…"
"No he's not" he said, though it was calm his voice dripped with ice as he spoke, "In case you haven't been listening sis, we're not 'his' family' we're 'evil demon spawns'" he said, " cursed souls meant to rot in hell" he quoted the phrase that had been drilled into their skulls since they were little.
"But, that's not true…is it?" she said sadly, yes they had heard it for years, everyone glared at them, murmured words of hate and spite and they didn't know why they did. Their family had deserted them, abandoned them since their mother, who they had never even met, had died.
"Listen sis, don't be sad" he said patting her on the head, "One day I going to take you away from this place" he said as the girl look up at her brother, a serene smiling on his face, "Will leave in a beautiful house and you'll be treated like a princess"
The girl sniffled, eyes still wet with tears, "And Ulqui too?" she said holding up the toy, the boy looked at the toy and gave a short chuckle, "Sure him too" he said before pulling the girl in a warm hug.
'I'll endure it all. No matter what I'll make a place for Alexandria'
"Come on sis, let's finish our chores" he said wiping his sister face
"Okay" she said, taking each other's hand they walked out of the room,
'Deep breathes, deep breathes' it was a mantra, something to keep him calm
The days didn't change though, same as usual, wake early, cook breakfast for the servants who woke at regular hours than anyone else, make the bed, scrub the floors, watch the windows, help tend to the garden, each choir more taxing then the last leaning both siblings tired and exasperated. They were a loud to stop, for food and water, and bathroom breaks if needed, before returning to their chores. The only other time the brother received a break is when some new grievance came,
Scrubbing the hallways, he on his knees, while the others servants were given mops, feet moved stepping and leaving scuffs to which he would have to clean later. Another servant, a better supplied one them stood over the boy, standing neat and straight…
As soon as he was about to open his mouth,
"Yeah I know, the master needs to see me" he said dryly already knowing that was coming, placing the cloth in the bucket. He stood, though tired and was led to 'his' study.
Standing in the grand study, the boy stood waiting for whatever was to come so he could get back to work, unlike the other servants, he wasn't paid for all the work he did. From sun up to sun down, dawn and dusk, he slaved until he collapsed, then wake up and do it again.
"I suppose you're wondering why I called you here" the master spoke, pouring himself a glass of liquor as he lounged on the sofa.
The boy didn't falter, used to the questioning, "No, sir" he said,
"I'll get straight to the point, I'm sending you and your sister away" he deadpanned, no emotion is his voice, drinking his liquor. The boy stood there, calm, but confused.
'Sending us away…?'
"Where are we being sent too?" he asked wondering where he and sister would be sent,
"That's your problem" he said standing up he walked over to the window that overlooked the garden, "I want you both out of this house, I don't care where you go, I don't care" he said not even looking at the boy as he spoke
'So that's hit' he should have figured this be happening
"If I may speak, we have no means to take care of ourselves" there was no mercy for them, not here, not in the village, not even in the church they went to pray.
"That is not of my concern, I want you both gone by the end of the day" he said his voice uncaring as he continued to look out the window.
"Right…I'll go get my sister" moving to the door, no more words, the black haired boy left from the room and at the end of the day out of the mansion. As they walked down the path, the cool autumn air rustling the trees, shaking their falling leaves. The sound of the iron gates closing shut, the little girl dressed in only a simple dress and coat like clothe to keep her warm, looked back one last time at the place she had called home, though she had to work hard day and night, it still was the only place she ever knew. Clutching her doll close to her chest, gripped the hand of her brother as they continued their walk.
"Big brother, where are we going?" she asked, rather fearful as they walked down the fall path, the boy was quite for a moment,
"I don't know" it was simple, though it was the truth. With nowhere to go, the brother and sister traveled from place to place. The brother had saved money, some coins he found about or made doing extra work, though it wasn't much, he always made sure his sister was taken care of. If she was hungry, he find food wherever he could. If she was cold, he give up his jacket or he find a safe warm place for her to rest. At night when they cuddled up in any place they could find, huddled together her brother would whisper,
"I'll find us a place" he would say, his voice was tired, his eyes dim, "I promise I'll find us a nice place, I promise" then he was slip into the realm of sleep.
As the days past, the hardships would change, some were better than the others, the siblings found work wherever they could, trying to save enough money for the bare necessities. The brother would do manual labor, working in fields, doing deliveries, working in shops for even the smallest of change. The sister would do jobs like sewing and cleaning, at the end of the day both were tired and exhausted, but again they would awaken and wake and work again.
As the years passed the boy grew into a young man, his sister seemed to have stopped growing even though she was in her young teens. The brother thought it was maybe because of lack of nourishment, though he had gotten less than her, yet he had grown to a comfortable height and had aged into a handsome young man. His shimmering midnight black hair, mixed with his fair skin, and exotic red eyes made him the object of many suitors, though he would pass them off. In those years the brother and sister had traveled and settled in a small village, their lives were comfortable. They had saved enough to live, even with the occasional expense, they still had enough to eat normally and afford clothing, though the sister would sew most of their clothes. They seemed to have finally made a good living for themselves…
'There is no mercy for us, not here, not back there…not anywhere'
The short lived paradise had quickly stained red, the cries in the night, the red colored moon, the creature coming screaming, taking it's revenge on all who had wrong them…
With flashing red eyes, sharp fangs, deep red markings that crossed and designed fair skin…
"Big brother!"
Red eyes snapped open nearly falling out the chair, composing himself quickly. Ai looked up seeing his sister and Yuzuki who was awake and no longer in bed. Her eyes seemingly holding worry as she stared at the male.
"Huh? What happened?" he asked feeling groggy, "Big brother I've been trying to wake you up, you sleep like a rock underwater!" his sister scolded her brother
'I must have fallen asleep'
"What time is it?"
"It's four in the afternoon!" she exclaimed,
"That late, man I feel wrecked" he groaned rubbing his head
"Yu-chan…are you feeling okay?" he said turning his attention to the girl, she gave a gentle smile and nodded, "I'm fine, thanks"
"Great" suddenly he felt something vibrate in his pocket, reaching into his pocket he pulled out his cherry red phone with a cartoon bat clip, courtesy of his sister. Looking at the device he noticed that he had a few missed messages, clicking a few of them, some were from his work and a couple were from his few selected friends who had his number, but there was one number he couldn't recognized.
Shrugging he would deal with it later,
"Come on, let's get home" he said standing up, "Ah my back, that's the last time I fall asleep on a chair"
"Yeah I can make us breakfast!" Alex said
"It's four in the afternoon" Ai corrected
"Then I'll make brinner!" she stated, "A combination of breakfast in dinner!"
"Alright but keep your voice down, this is still a hospital" he said, his sister was always loud, Yuzuki giggled at this finding it rather cute how the two were behaving. After signing some papers, Yuzuki was officially discharged with a clean bill of health.
After leaving the hospital, the three walked home, indulging in light conversation as they walked pasted the various shops and people. After returning to the apartment they prepared to go in…
"You two head to the apartment" Ai said, "I need to go handle some business" he said
"Business?" Yuzuki said rather confused
"Yeah just something at Alex's school" he said peering at Alex who whistled innocently
"Right…anyway I'll be back later" he said, "Call me if you need anything" he said and then began walking away.
"Becareful" Yuzuki said was the over just gave her a wave as reassurance
At Ryoutei Academy, classes had just gotten out, students packed up and made their way put to indulge in whatever activity they need to do. But in one classroom, empty save for the six figures present…
"I can't take it…want Pancake blood…" Ayato groaned his head firmly on the table, he could take it anymore, it had been days since he tasted the sweet red liquid of the missing girl's blood and he was beginning to lose it.
"Would you stop this constant pathetic rambling, it's getting on my nerve" Reiji said as he and the other brothers listened to their brothers constant moaning.
In the halls, Ai was looking for the main office checking all the doors,
"Man this place is like a maze" he groaned still not seeing any sign of a main office, "Maybe back the other way"
"Ah don't be so stiff, he's just miss's bitch-chan's blood" a voice said haughtily, Ai stopped as he heard this, but what really caught his attention was the name the voice had just used
"Well it's getting on my nerve, acting in such a pathetic manner for an uncouth mortal girl" another voice said,
"Ow dammit!" he gritted, this was just great, while searching for the stupid office he nicked his arm on an open display case door.
"Who makes glass that sharp" he groaned holding his arm, now he had to find the nurses office and tend to his wound, "Damn it, it's already starting to bleed" the red liquid beginning to rise from the wound, the scent of the life essence drifted through the school hallways.
Drifting into a certain room containing the six siblings were still conversing, the smell drifted mixing and swirling into their senses,
"Smell that?"
"Yeah, something smells good" Laito said whiffing the air, eyes flashing "Makes me hungry", even Ayato seemed to break from his stupor, catching a sniff of the sweet metallic scent. The smell sending their predatory senses wild.
"Seriously what is with this school?" Ai groaned loosing patients with walking through the schools nerving ending hallways. He just wanted to get bandage his wound and get home, turning down another hallway he found another door,
'Might as well…" he shrugged turning the knob, he pushed the door open carefully and was met with darkness.
'Empty' even though it was dark he could tell no one was there, who would be.
'Well this was a waste of time…better turn back…" the lights clicked on illuminating the room fully, desks were scattered from place to place, teachers desks were in various places as well some covered in sheets to prevent dust, the room must have been a storage room.
"I have to say I'm surprised to see you here dog" a dry voice spoke, Ai quickly turned to meet light red concealed behind thin framed glasses.
"You again, give me a break…" Ai was not happy seeing the arrogant male,
"What are you doing here worm" Ai frowned, but held his composure, "Not that it's any of your business, I was trying to find the main office" he said, "Seriously how do students even go here this place is like a maze, anyway I'm going…huh?" as he looked up the male hade somehow moved closer to him without him knowing,
'How the hell did he get so close' it was creepy having the other so close, red eyes looked at the other before falling on their clutched arm.
"Hey!" Reiji grabbed the others arm, holding it by the wrist tightly as his eyes fell on wound which was currently dripping with red liquid.
"What heck is up with you, let go!" Ai said trying to wrench his hand out, Reiji leaned in closer towards the room, his breathe tickling over Ai's skin,
"Hey what are you doing!? Let go you…eh!" he cringed as the wet appendage snaked out running over the wound on his arms, lapping at the blood slowly trailing. Ai snatched his arm away quickly, like it had just touched fire,
"What the hell is wrong with you!" he demanded, Reiji slowly looked toward him catching his eyes,
'What the hell? This guy…' he did not like the look in the male's eyes, especially after the stunt he just pulled.
"Oi, Reiji…" a voice chimed in, "You scared him…" it mocked, suddenly there was a pull on arm, he quickly looked to the side to find another male, his hand wrapped firmly around his arm.
"Hey you're the guy…eh!" the male smirked letting his tongue glide over the wound tasting the red liquid, before Ai snatched it away and back away from the other.
Liato licked his lips of the red blood, "I don't usually go for another guys blood…but I'll make an exception of you" he smirk
"What is wrong with you" he groaned keeping his distance from the two, "Are you both insane!" he yelled, he suddenly stopped as he felt a familiar sensation on his arm. Looking back he saw his arm again being held by a familiar held of light purple,
"Such sweet smelling blood…" the boy said, "From such a lowly worm, you'll let me taste" Ai cringed snatching his hand back completely freaked out.
'What the hell is wrong with this family…' back away he felt himself hit something hard, quickly turning he was met with yet another male. He was tall with slightly curled, blonde hair and light ocean blue eyes. He has black studs on both of his ears and what looked like an MP3 player attached to a wire that was wrapped around his neck the earphones in his ears. He had a bored look on his face as he looked at Ai,
'This guy…'
The male reached up removing one of his earphones, "You…" he stared, "The overpowering scent woke me up, was it coming from you?" Ai just stared him, before his eyes narrowed,
"You!" he growled throwing a punch at the other, his fist found the wall, the force enough to leave a small whole and cracks in the concrete.
"Ah damn it…" he groaned retracting his hand, it wasn't damaged just a little scratched
'Where'd he go…he's fast'
"Pretty strong for a human" another voice said, it was knew Ai could tell, looking back he saw another male with white hair and blood red eyes, his bangs were parted to the right, covering his eye. There was another one with him, he was a bit shorter with messy reddish-brown hair with hints of purple color on the nape and lighter shades of ash brown or light blond to the tips. His eyes are green like the other boy's with narrow pupils and also had a black stud on his right ear.
In total there were six males surrounded him, each one with an intense look in their eyes as they stared at Ai.
'Seriously this is ridiculous, six of them' he knew at least three of them were related, were they all brothers. Why did fate screw him over like this, he was having a simple life and then this…
"Hey isn't he the guy we saw at the park?" Liato said finally recognizing him, took him long enough
"He's that 'girls' older brother" Reiji confirmed
"You mean the girl who racked the pipsqueak in the balls?" Ayato said casually earning a glare from Kanato, "Shut the hell up about that!" he yelled
"Damn don't have to be so loud…" Ayato said placing a finger in his ear
"This is pointless" Reiji said adjusting his glasses, in the blink of an eye Ai found himself pinned to the wall, with a chock he felt the other grip his throat keeping him immobilized.
"Oi Reiji be careful don't want to break him yet" Laito said playfully as the other seemed to ignore the other.
"You…bastard…" he choked out, with a swift move of his hand he moved the boy's shirt over exposing his neck to the other, he a loud his free hand to touch the others throat feeling the rush of blood as it moved through each vein.
Interesting" he said, though his voice was calm he there was an air of conceitedness that oozed from him, "Your skin is soft, reminds me of a woman's"
'Sick…freak…' if it's one thing Ai hated was being compared to a woman, even as a child he often heard he took his looks from his mother, but it still didn't stop people from calling him words like delinquent or womanly, even Yuta had referred to him as a mother hen at some point. Ai struggled to get out of the others hold, cringing as he felt the others breathe touch his neck, he stiffened as the other leaned in closer,
"What…are you doing?" he demanded, "Let go you sick…ah!" he groaned feeling a sharp pain pierce his throat,
'He…bite me!?' sharp fangs pierced through soft flesh, feeling the others blood touch his tongue. The taste was nothing he had ever tasted before. Reiji continued his assault, devouring the sweet blood,
"It looks like he's enjoying himself" Shu said quite interested for once, the smell alone was driving him wild and taking all his strength to compose himself.
"Oi Reiji don't hog it all!" Laito said going over to his brother, hearing this he reluctantly removed his fangs from the others through, releasing him letting him fall to the floor. The second eldest turned to the other, a small trail of blood on the side of his lip,
"Was it that good?" he inquired interested in the bloods taste, Reiji adjusted his glasses allowing his tongue to take the remainder of the blood.
"It was…divine"
Slowly Ai stood up slowly, his hand on his neck where he had just been bitten, his red eyes flashing both with anger and anxiety. He knew that there was something wrong with them, he thought it was just because of their haughty conceded attitudes, but this…
'I need to get out of here…' he said looking around for a way out
"That's a nice look in your eyes" Laito smirk now right in front of him, "That look of fear just makes me want to devour you quicker!" he smirked a perverted look in his eyes.
"Pervert!" Ai punched at him with his free hand almost landing a punch, "To slow!" he mocked as Ai growled still holding his neck wound.
"Don't mess with me!" he growled throwing a kick at the other sending him back a few spaces
"Feisty aren't we, make's the hunt much more thrilling" he smirk only making Ai glared more at the other.
"This is tiring…" a voice said, suddenly Ai felt his back hit something hard, looking up he found the light blond haired male leaning over him, pressing him into the desk.
"Get the fuck off me you sick pervert!" he yelled leering up at the other,
"Laito's the pervert" he said rather impassively as he stared down at the other, leaning down again Ai felt the sensation of someone's breath on his throat,
"Oi Shu I was next! No fair!" Laito yelled obviously not happy
"Too bad" was the only replay he got before sinking his teeth into the others throat generating shocked gasp from the body below. Like his brother, Shu devoured the rich blood fully indulging in the unexplainable taste. AI gasped as he was bitten into again trying to force the other off, only to have the others weight pressed fully on him.
"Stop…it…" after a few more moments he was finally released, red eyes looking down at the body below, bite marks on his throat from his and Reiji's turns.
"Your blood must be interesting if it's holding Shu's attention" the white haired boy said making a move to walk over.
"Hold it, Shu took my turn so I call next!" Laito said sounding like a child, as he moved to the body, he moved directly to the throat,
"You…" he growled
"Still got some fight in you, interesting" he smirked playfully, "Let's have a taste shall we!"
"No…you…eh…" again sharp fangs pierced his throat, as the warm blood touched his tongue his eyes lit up with delight, the blood was so smooth and rich, he could drink it for hours without stop.
"Get…off…me" he demanded as the other continued to take his fill, as he continued to struggle he looked to the side and saw the purple haired boy looking at him clutching his stuffed bear.
"You…"
"I'm not waiting for Laito, I'll take your blood now" without another minute he grabbed Ai's arm, sinking his teeth into the awaiting flesh. As the taste invaded his mouth, he greedily took his fill, letting his mouth fill to the brim before swallowing.
"Man that's nice, I could drink something like that forever" Laito said after releasing the other
"Such sweet blood! I want more! I want it all!" Kanato said possessively
"I could go for another drink" Shu said
"Hey don't try and keep it for yourself"
"Save some for Yours Truly!"
Before he knew it all six vampires latched onto Ai, sinking their fangs into the body, as Ai protested and struggled.
"You should save your breath human, just relax and let us have our fill" Reiji said before returning to his menstruations.
"Let me go" he repeated as he feed off of, "I said let…me….GO!" with a loud yell, red energy began seeping from Ai's body, forcing the six to reluctantly released their hold on the other. Backing away shortly, they watched the light envelope the male, creating red markings that etched over his body, intense enough to be seen through his clothing.
"What in the world…" with a hissing noise the puncture wounds began to close before completely heal leaving only untouched skin.
"How interesting…" Reiji said as he watched the display, just had he had assumed the male was not human, he had his assumption after the conflicts between Kanato and the males sister, overtaking a full vampire seemed more suitable now. The red lights soon died down, leaving a seemingly unconscious Ai on the desk.
"That was freaky" Ayato said both intrigue and curious at the same time
"I want more blood" Kanato said about to go take another bite of the unconscious male
"Another time, we must return to the mansion, at once" Reiji said as Kanato frowned at this
"Well I'm stuffed, that was one of the best meals I ever had" Laito smirked
"To think sweet divine blood came from such a 'lowly' creature" Shu added before putting the ear bud's back in his hears.
"Come on let's go" then they were gone leaving an unconscious Ai on the desk, but he wasn't. Reiji walked out to the sleeping boy, taking a vile and needle, he placed the vile into the device. Moving his arm up, he stuck the needle inside, with a click of the device he watched as the red liquid filled the glass vile. Once it was complete, he removed the needle with a pop, smirking as he saw the red liquid.
"Until we meet again Ai Tepes" and with one last smirk he disappeared
A few hours later,
"Man what a day…" Ai groaned as he walked down the sidewalk, after all that the main office was closed, "Next time I bringing a map to places like that"
"I hope Yuzuki and Alex weren't too worried, my Yu-chan cooked something delicious" he thought picturing a big plate of food when he got home. Though he couldn't help think there was something he had forgotten, the last thing he remembered was looking for the main office and then waking up in the hallway. Everything in between that was a complete blur, he hated when stuff like that happened.
'Maybe it will come back to me' he shrugged and made his way home looking up at the sky once and awhile…
Back at the Sakamaki household, all the brothers were lounging in the living room,
"Man what a great meal" Laito smirked contently lounging on the sofa, adjusting his trade mark fedora
"I still want more blood" Kanato said, "Next time I let you have your fill Teddy!" he said to his stuffed companion. Shu was sleeping on the couch music playing in his ears contently. Even the tsundere and somewhat violent Subaru seemed in a peaceful state.
"Well you're truly feels refreshed and re-energized!" Ayato declared haughtily smirking smugly as his brothers ignored his outburst.
"That blood really hit the spot, it could easily be a substitute for Pancake's until we find here!" he stated as the brothers looked at him and actually seemed to think about it. While Yui's was grade A choice blood, the was no denying the males blood had an unexplainable flavor that made them crave more.
"I could go for that idea" Laito hummed, "Maybe we could bring both of them back to the mansion" he laughed
"Like hell" Kanato hissed, "If we brought him back we would have to deal with 'she-devil' sow bitch of a sister!" he growled thinking of that damned girl.
"Ah still made because she cracked your walnuts" Laito laughed,
"I'll burn you to ashes while you sleep!" he hissed
"Shut up you two, I'm trying to sleep" Shu said with eyes still closed
"Hey…" Subaru started, "Anyone scene Reiji?" the brothers stopped what they were doing and noticed the second eldest was in the room.
"Heh, I thought there was a stiff nagging missing, o well" Ayato said not really caring where the other was
"I think he's up in his room?" now that was weird, usually the male would be up and about watching over the house and nagging them with rules and policies.
"As long as he's not in my face he can stay there" Ayato yawned and the other brothers seemed to agree.
Upstairs in Reiji's room, the second eldest vampire stood before his dresser, holding the vile contained with Ai's blood, he opened a secret compartment in the drawers placing it inside and closed sealing it for later use.
