I do not own Skip Beat.
Enjoy!
Theo hadn't even entered the house yet before he smelled the scent of two new arrival's.
Jana and Kunz.
He blinked owlishly seeing them in the living room playing chess of all thing's.
By now, he pretty much wondered if the Head of the Family would stay here too.
There was just one more family member bedside's the head of family to arrive.
"Hi, Theo" Jana said.
"Hi, Theo" Kunz said, eating something lazily, that he could practically smell the blood from.
Wait, was that a human finger?
If he hadn't grown so used to the horror of being a Vampire, he would have screamed.
"Theo, were all in danger!" Kunz said, tugging on his coat like a child, but he was by far the oldest person in this house, so that made it super creepy in his eyes.
And Theo just had to say.
"Huh?"
Ch 8: The Invite
"What do you mean, we're all in danger?" Ines said, as most of the family gathered around for their own selfish reasons.
The twin's were half naked and in the back, with some girl's they picked up earlier today but their super hearing allowed them to hear when was being said.
"It's really, nothing new" Jana said, "Once again, gold diggers are gathering, because we're all in one place. Some people are going to try to kidnap us in hopes of holding one of us for ransom"
It was a common idea.
It was no secret that the Boudreaux family were rich, if you manage to capture one of them, you would know you will be set for life.
Of course, they didn't know the bloody and gruesome fated that awaited those who tried.
Having them all here in one place, was like a sign that said 'please kidnap me'.
Theo had been very surprised when he attended his first family meeting and saw first-hand how many people actually tried to kidnap him, since he was unattended and alone.
Of course, those people ended in a bloody manner either by his hand's or family's sworn protector's.
Their sworn protectors were actually a group of Human's, who they had taken from the poverty of the street's and tasked them with protecting them, in exchange, the family will provide them with food and any reasonable thing they wished.
They even had a permit to carry guns into Japan.
The group of human's even know what they were, but were so thankful for their better lives' that they didn't care and happily slaughtered anybody who threatened their lives of their benefactor's.
They even gave blood willing, which was a bonus.
"The family personal guards should be arriving, tomorrow" Kunz said, unlike them who just hopped into their private jet's any time they liked, the guards had to go through normal transportation since they weren't supposed to be seen.
They could have easily avoided any attempt's of kidnapping if their hid their red eyes and blue hair but to hide your red eyes and unique hair was deemed shameful in the family.
It was viewed as a rejection for who you are.
"Even though we can all handle ourselves, we shouldn't be alone." Ines said, wisely, if it was dark they could kill their kidnapper's easily, but if it was light... were thousands of people could see them, then that would be a problem. "We should also take several servants with us just to put up a front. It would be troublesome since we can't show any of our abilities at day time"
And they all agreed.
If they were grabbed, then they would have to put up a human level of struggle before the night fell and they slaughtered their kidnappers in the darkness.
"We should leave somebody here at all times." Theo said. "There have been so many breaks in attempts once people know one of our addresses."
"Then I'll call for security guards to guard this place" Ludwig said, already on the phone with a bunch of human's that worshipped him like a god.
"Since it's all settled, I'm leaving." Kunz getting up.
"Where are you going?" Ludwig said, and weren't they supposed to go in pair's!?
"I'm going to visit a new friend of mine. I'm also taking some servants with me, so if anybody wants to come too, than you have about five seconds" Kunz said, walking out.
"I better go with him" Jana said, since she had a pretty good idea who this 'friend' was.
Of course, Theo didn't know just who the vampire had befriended if he did, he wouldn't have let Kunz leave the house.
Now his old life was bound to catch up with him.
# With Kyoko and Kuon child#
"And then, I met this really pretty lady" Konya Hizuri said, happily telling his parents about the boy who he had met and the women who seemed to be related to him.
Both Kuon and Kyoko didn't know what to think of this 'Kunz' boy, it was nice that their child was making friend's outside of school but they didn't know how to tell him that it was most likely, their son would never meet the other boy again.
And what was this about the boy having red eyes?
Maybe the boy wore eye contact's or something, they couldn't help but be reminded of their first meeting with each other, when they were children.
"It's nice that you think my cousin is pretty." Said, a complete different lazy voice.
They all froze and turned to see their table of three had become a table of four mysteriously, a red eyed child that only Konya recognised had decided to join them.
And what was worse that the child was just sitting there eating a pack of sweets lazily.
Both Kuon and Kyoko literally stared at the child for an unholy amount of time, clearly wondering where he came from and who's child was he.
They had never expected for a child to suddenly barge in on them.
Than they really noticed the child's look's and more importantly how expensive looking, the child's own clothes were.
They even appeared to be sparkling!
"MASTER KUNZ!" Yelled somebody and they all turned to find a woman dressed in a maid costume running their way, followed by lots of other people in servant clothing, the amount had both Kuon and Kyoko filled with shock.
Was there a maid café around here!?
Than they saw a gorgeous looking woman with red eyes walking over and then pulled the red eyed chair by the ear.
"Kunz! Have you got any manners!?" The gorgeous women said, even Kuon was staring at how amazing this woman looked.
"Janaaaa" The lazy boy said, before his cousin whispered in his ear.
"You might have gotten away with your behaviour in your time but times have changed" Jana hissed in his ear. "There is a thing called personal space, especially when you see somebody's parent's. Unless, you're here to hunt, don't interrupt a family moment"
Kunz than had the nerve to sigh before Jana rightful smacked him on the head.
"I'm sorry for interrupting" The deceptively looking child said, lazily, clearly he had no respect for somebody's privacy.
"Kunz-kun, what are you doing here?" Konya said, much to his parent's surprise, so this boy was 'Kunz-kun'? And more importantly how did he even get in? This was LME property!
"What kind of question is that? I'm obviously here to see my friend" Kunz said, lazily. "But it's seems your with your parent's so I'll come back later"
And with that he really did leave, leaving both Kuon and Kyoko speechless.
It was like they had met a child who just came and go as he pleased.
And contrary to what they were thinking, Kunz really did come back later.
Exactly one hour later.
He suddenly appeared in the LME cafeteria room right next to Konya who was eating.
He then appeared right next to Konya when he was relieving himself in the toilet's, giving him a lazy wave while the boy did his business.
Even appearing from behind when Konya looked into a mirror.
Not only was he extremely creeped out but how the hell did Kunz know where he was, at all times!?
Even the talent of LME was shocked at the appearance of this mysterious red eyed child who seemed to be stalking Kuon and Kyoko own child everywhere he wants.
"Konya-kun. Are you done with today's work? Let's play" Konya said, while Jana and their pack of servants had pretty much given up on keeping him in check and were sitting at a table not that far from them playing cards of all thing's.
Finally, Konya-kun want on his break and Konya dragged him along to play video games.
In Lory Takarada office.
To say Lory was shocked when he came into his office and saw two children and group of adults in his office would be an understatement of a life time.
Why were there so many people in his office!?
And more importantly who was the boy sitting next to Koun and Kyoko child!?
Lory was than treated to an apology by a man in a butler's uniform apologising to him for the inconvenience and telling him, that they would pay for any property that may be damaged and even pay to use the room by the hour.
Lory was so stunned that he honestly did not know what to think, especially when he saw how many zeroes were offered to him just for one hour in his office.
Shocked, he took another look at the stunning yet lazy looking boy with red eyes.
Wait.
Red eyes?
"You last name wouldn't happen to be 'Boudreaux'?" Lory said, looking at the child with red eyes, and yes, he know those eyes were real, only real coloured eyes didn't change with so many different light shades bouncing off them like that.
And the deceptively harmless child didn't look it but he was immediately on guard.
How did this man know his last name was Boudreaux?
Had he come to kidnap him?
He had chosen this place because Theo former scent was also here as well, and he was quiet surprised to smell a much stronger scent on Konya father.
This man even had traces of Theo's former scent on him.
Even Jana stopped playing cards and he eyes changed direction.
"And what would happen if I say yes?" Kunz said, and for some reason Lory felt extreme hostility in his own office.
He felt like his life would be in danger if he answered wrongly.
"I would like to invite you and your family to my party tomorrow night" Lory said, getting out a very sparkling invite that stated the 'theme' of the party, which a servant took, instead of the boy himself. "Think of this as a business proposition"
Of course, Lory had seen the photo of that night and had been googling the family, the moment he got a name.
What he found interesting was that there was no picture of the family members or information on the member's despite them holding such sway in the world.
What he was really after was the man with the silver hair, that looked like a younger vand more better looking version of the deceased Yashiro Yukihito.
Yashiro parents would also be there, along with many famous people including Kuon parents.
At the mention of a party, Kunz eyes light up.
If there was party than that meant lots of blood would be gathered in one place.
Lot's of high-class blood.
He was almost drooling when he sniffed Konya own mother and even father.
But did this man have a hidden motive?
More importantly, how often did he get invited to parties where he could drink as much higher class blood as he wanted to without anybody dying?
"I'll get back to you on that" Kunz said, getting back to his game with Konya.
Lory didn't even know why he hadn't kicked all these people out of his office yet and even waited patiently for them to finish and leave.
He had no idea that he was under a vampire's influence.
Even Kunz was under it, when they were talking Konya didn't look up from the screen once.
"Buy, Konya-kun" Kunz said, parting ways.
"Bye, Kunz-kun" Konya said.
It only took him two minutes' to finally realise that he had played video games in his parent's boss's office, making him stop in his tracks.
But the time, he fully realised the consequences of his action's, the person who made him do it was long gone, meeting another family member.
Uwe Michiel Boudreaux, the final member other than the Head of House.
And Scene!
I just realised that, that Theo original name was 'Leo' and I unconsciously changed it half way through the story. OOPS! Next chapter, Theo find's out the Boudreaux have been invited to another party and can't help but question why the theme of the party is glasses. Review/fav and follow!
