Chapter 8: Going Under
Kyoyo and Reina walked to their lockers still feeling dull about the situation that happen 3 weeks ago. Things haven't been the same since Yui moved out of the Sakamaki manor and into the Mukami manor with her new boyfriend Ruki. What was she thinking, moving out on them like that? She hardly knows the guy. Reina exhaled, dreading the day when it happened. She didn't want to stay around vampires any longer.
Kyoyo huffed drastically, at the fact that two of her best friends were acting reckless over two bitterness bloodsuckers. Yui wasn't the only one that kind of abandoned her friends at the worst possible time. Mayu also changed for the worst. She spent more time hanging out with Kou at the Mukami manor than the people who been there for her since childhood. Why is this happening to us? I just wish things would go back to normal. Kyoyo banged her fist against the locker hard as she could. She cursed to herself right in front of Reina shamefully. Screw them!
"You're thinking about them too, huh?" Reina asked.
Kyoyo sighed and looked over at Reina with distress. "Is it that obvious?"
Reina nodded weary, "it kind of is."
"What should we do?" Kyoyo asked as she bit down on her lower lip nervously.
Reina shrugged her shoulders and started to comb her fingers through her locks. "For the first time, I don't know what we should do."
As Kyoyo rolled her eyes, she placed her face in her hands trembling with frustration. "I-I give up. I can't do this anymore," she sobbed.
Reina stepped over to her upset friend and positioned a hand on Kyoyo back. "Kyoyo, please don't cry. We will figure something out. I promise," she vowed.
Kyoyo sobbed too herself once more and glanced over at her friend with teary red eyes. Reina lip curved into a small smile as her friend pulled her into a tight embrace. "Can we just go home and forget this ever happened? I don't want to be here anymore." Kyoyo begged from over Reina shoulder.
Reina removed herself from Kyoyo embrace and held her shoulders when she pushed her back to look straight at her. "No…friends don't leave other friends behind Kyoyo. You know that rule more than any of us."
"She is right, you know." Said a voice from behind them. They both glanced over at Izumi who had heard their conversation. "I know I haven't known you guys long enough, but Yui need you both and I fell at fault for introducing Yui to Ruki."
"But aren't you friends with The Mukami brothers," asked Reina.
Izumi nodded, "Yes, I only became friends with them when I started dating Azusa. He was a sweet guy at first, very possessive…which I liked. But then he started to stalk me to the point that I couldn't breathe. When I broke up with him, he got furious with me and I got cut by one of his blades. He didn't realize into after it happen. I forgave him after a year, but I didn't want much to do with him afterwards."
Reina eyes widen at the story Izumi was telling them. "That's crazy! Do you think something bad will happen with Yui or Mayu?"
"It already has. That's why I'm here. Haven't you noticed that Yui hasn't come to school or why she never came to visit after she moved out? This is Ruki doing. He is becoming more obsessed with keeping her away from Ayato. It won't be long before Kou does the same with Mayu." Izumi explained.
Kyoyo walked passed Izumi to stand in front of her and Reina. She felt like idiot because she didn't realize this before. Punching her fist into the palm of her hand, she snapped out of her meltdown. "We have to come up with a plan to get Yui out of there and fast." She demanded.
Reina tapped her finger on her chin and narrowed her eyes up to the ceiling. "I think that I have an one."
Izumi tilted her head to the side and blinked at her curiously. "You do? What is it?" Kyoyo nodded anxiously, "Yeah, what she said?"
"Kyoyo, remember Mayu older sister Aiko? The one that taught you some of those martial artist moves," Reina questioned.
"Of course, how could I forget? She was awesome. I idolize her." Kyoyo exclaimed.
"What if I told you that I found out some information about her recently in Mayu journal?" Reina asked.
Kyoyo eyes widen, "You read Mayu journal? Whoa, aren't you a little sneaky one."
"I only read it because I was worried about her and she won't tell us what's going on. I came across some information and it might be useful to call Aiko over here." Reina explained.
"Slow down momma bear." Kyoyo extended her hand in front of her. "First you read Mayu journal and now you want us to call Aiko without a phone? Did you forget? Reiji hid our cell phones from us on the first night we slept there and the phones don't even work at school."
"I have a cell phone!" Izumi exclaimed, while raising her hand.
"Good!" Reina smiled. "I memorized everybody number in my cell phone, lucky for us."
Kyoyo snorted, "go ahead and call her then."
Reina put the palm of her hand out in front of Izumi. "May I have your phone please Izumi?"
"Hold on a second, it's in my purse somewhere." Izumi said, searching through her bag. When taking out her cell phone, she passed it over to her.
Reina quickly dialed Aiko number and it started ringing. After the third ring someone answered, "Aiko Fukui, speaking?"
"Hi Aiko-san; this is Reina Honda, Mayu's friend...Yeah, I need your help."
Mayu POV
Mayu looked around the corridor searching for her friends. She knew that they were avoiding her. Why wouldn't they? She stabbed them in the back for her own selfish reasons. Why did seeing Subaru that day make her act like such a bitch? Even though she was dating Kou now, she still thought about Subaru and her mistakes. Was she that blind to see that he came for her, even after their little argument? She felt like a fool for not seeing what he was doing in the first place.
Now the white hair vampire with red eyes won't even look in her direction. Every time they'd crossed paths he'd walk the opposite way –she didn't blame him for disregarding her –in fact she would do the same if it was the other way around. These past few weeks have been difficult to bear. What was she thinking?
Suddenly arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her against their firm figure. She gasped in surprise when the lips kissed her neck. "Hello Starfire. What are you doing?" Kou asked, using his new nickname he came up with for her.
Mayu began to place her books in the locker. "I'm doing nothing. Just putting my books away." She responded.
"I see…do you mind making time for me? I'm thirsty." Kou whispered in her ear.
"Not now Kou-kun. I will be late for my next class." Mayu said as she freed herself from his hold.
Kou spun her around by the elbow, standing face to face with her. He had an angry look on his face mixed with a frown. "You aren't having second thoughts about us, are you? Because I don't do well with break-ups." He said, gripping her elbow hard.
A low whimper escaped Mayu lips. "No Kou! Let go, you're hurting me!"
Once again he wrapped his arms around her and this time they were looking directly at each other. "Give me a kiss and maybe I'll forgive you."
Mayu mouth nearly dropped, "I don't understand what you mean. I just told you to let me go."
"I said to give me a kiss," Kou gritted through his teeth.
Mayu forcefully smashed her lips against his. Kou eyes drifted closed as he moved his lips towards her. He slid his tongue against top lip and waited on her accord to enter her mouth. Mayu was on the verge of tears, she slowly open her mouth allowing him to reach her tongue.
At that worst possible time, Subaru walked pass them with the look of disgust and envy. He started to pick up the pace and turn his head away. Mayu moved her lips away, never taking her eyes off the vampire that she desperately wanted to kiss over her own boyfriend.
Kou wrenched her chin in his direction, he didn't like being ignored and he was gonna make her pay for disrespecting him. "I see that you still have eyes for another." Kou mumbled.
Mayu was lost, she didn't understand what he meant by that. "What are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb with me! You still like Subaru!" Kou shouted, getting looks from other students in the corridor.
"Calm down, you are making a scene." Mayu whispered.
"Be quiet, I am not to be toyed with Starfire!"
"I'm gonna head to class now. I will talk to you when you're not jumping down my throat." she said, brushing pass him.
Mayu quickly walked up the stairs to her next class. Kou followed closely behind her, staying on her tail. She arrived on the top step of the second floor. Straightway, Kou drags her into a storage closet and closed the door behind him.
Mayu stumbled backwards against the wall. "Kou, what are you going?" she asked, wide-eyed.
"Admit it Mayu, you would choose Subaru over me. It's always been him." Kou scowled.
"What does it matter? I'm not with him, I'm with you!" She retorted loudly.
"It does matter, because he likes you!" Kou admitted. Mayu was shocked. She didn't expect him to tell her about another man feelings. "As do I," he added. "I think I'm in love with you Starfire. I refuse to let another man take you away from me." Kou turned to the wall, placing to fists upon it.
She tapped her fingers on his backside making him flinched slighly. "I'm sorry Kou. Please don't cry."
Kou chuckled, "who said I was crying?" He narrowed his eyes at her. "You thought… Mayu don't you know by now?"
She didn't answer.
"I'm a vampire and that means only one thing," he said stepping in front of her. "We need blood." he mumbled, when biting into her neck.
Yui POV (At Mukami Manor)
Yui lied on her full size bed waiting for Ruki to come back home from school. She turned on her side and pulled the pillow closed to her chest momentarily. Yui was unhappy with the choices she made, the friends she abandon and a certain someone that she couldn't seem to forget. By her second week of living at the Mukami manor, she was ready to go back to the Sakamaki home where she could breathe again. But that would be crazy because vampires couldn't breathe.
She felt horrible about the situation she was in. Only friends that came to see her were Mayu and Izumi. By now, she knew that Kyoyo and Reina were not happy with the way she recklessly left them at a difficult time in their life. She didn't want things to end so complicated, but she let her feelings get the best of her. Instead of listening to her friend's correct advice, she took it way too far.
Ruki was a great boyfriend when she first moved in. He pampered her with gifts and took her out on dates. He even showed her affection, which was all she ever wanted from Ayato. But then, Ruki became overprotective and controlling. He started to make her randomly stay home from school. Now she was stuck in her room into he arrived. He warned her, if she tried to escape he would hunt her down and bring her back. Talk about psychopath. She knew that this behavior had to do with her feelings for Ayato.
Yui broke out into a whimper of cry, thinking about all the important people in her life; like her father, Ayato, Kyoyo, Reina, Mayu, Izumi, Subaru, Laito, Reiji, Kanato and Shu. They all were important to her in some way. She missed them a lot and she wished she could go home.
The sound of her door creaking open scared her half to death. She sat up on her bed, wiping away the remains of her tears and fixed herself up. Ruki stood in the entryway with a sly smirk on his face and his hand on his hip.
"Hello livestock. How was your day?" He asked.
"It was fine, I missed you today." Yui lied.
"Did the butler tend to your every need?" he asked, sitting on the bed beside her.
Yui nodded, "Yes. He was most generous."
"Are you lying to me? I don't like liars livestock." He pointed out as he picked up a few strands of her hair and sniffed it. "Do you comprehend what I'm saying?"
"Yes Ruki-san, I do." She answered with another nod.
Ruki slowly let her ringlets fall back into place. "Good. Your hair is getting longer. Beauty has overly become you."
"Thank you." She murmured. He pulled her down on the bed with him, wrapping his arms around her forearms. Ruki always did this when it came time for them to go to sleep. "Let us sleep now livestock. I'm exhausted." he stated.
Yui nodded feeling uncomfortable.
Ayato POV (Next Afternoon)
3 weeks before
"Damn you!" Ayato shouted, when throwing a chair across his room. The chair broke against the wall and drop to the floor with a loud thump. He wanted to break everything he owned, because none of it mattered to him anymore, especially if he couldn't have her. Throwing his clothes on the floor, he heard ruckus from outside his door.
"Yui, don't do this! It's not worth it," shouted Kyoyo.
"What about us? You can't leave us here," Reina added.
"I can't stay. You didn't hear what I said to him Reina. I think it's best if I just leave now. I'm with Ruki now, remember?" Yui told them.
"Come off it, Yui. Fuck what Ayato thinks or better yet anybody else for that matter. We came here to rescue your ass and this is how you repay us? Some friend you are." Kyoyo complained.
Ayato had to admit, Kyoyo had a point. It shouldn't matter what anybody in the house thought of Yui. Her friends came here looking for her and now she wanted to leave? He never once thought about abandoning his brothers. So why did Yui want to abandon her friends? He crushed his fist together and attempted to speak out for their sakes. It was now or never, he felt like a coward and useless to what was going on outside his door.
"Why are you just standing there, Mayu? Say something to her!" Reina yelled.
"What do you want me to say? I already told her that it was too soon to move out with some guy she just met." Mayu explained.
Kyoyo snorted, "Oh please, don't let me get started on you with your bullshit." Kyoyo said to Mayu.
Mayu glared at Kyoyo with dismay. "What is that supposed to me?"
"It means you're another one that needs to get a grip of life. Just because you're a pop idol doesn't mean you can just walk all over whoever you want." Kyoyo reminded her.
"I do not act like that Kyoyo!" Mayu snapped.
"Guys, I heard enough! I'm moving in with Ruki, end of discussion!" Yui yelled, before dragging her luggage down the stairs.
Ayato quickly turned the knob to his door and rushed down the stairs after Yui. The girls all looked at each other before following after him. He stopped at the last step calling after her. "Yui, wait!"
Yui whipped her head around at the sound of his her name leaving his lips. It was the first time Ayato ever pronounced it. She just stood in the entryway with her luggage in one hand and her backpack in the other. "Don't go." Ayato painfully spoke.
Yui lowered her eyes, "why shouldn't I?"
"Because your friends need you…I kind of need you."
"You kind of need me?" She asked, repeating his words. "That's not enough Ayato-kun. She paused, "I need more than just for you to kind of need me. I need you to admit that you want me. I want you to admit that maybe there's more to us than just needing things from each other. Everything is need, need, need! I need your blood breastless, I need you to do my homework breastless or I need you to cook and make Takoyaki breastless. It's always about what you need. What about what I want? I want you… that's all I ever wanted. But you ignored my feelings and stepped on them.
"I do want you! What made you assume that I didn't?" He retorted.
"Food supply doesn't ring a bell? That's what you told Ruki." She reminded.
"Tch, I didn't mean what I said" he grumbled.
"Of course you meant it. That's all I ever been to you." she said, when pulling the door handle open.
"Stop Yui, I'm begging you!" He pleaded as kneeled down on one knee. "Stay with me, forget that this ever happen."
"I can't stay with someone who doesn't love me back. It feel like I have a one-track mind and my life involves around only you and your family. I have to go now." Yui said, walking out and shutting the door behind her.
Ayato lowered his head down and gripped the floor beneath him. "I do love you. You're my only key to happiness. Do you hear me, Yui? I said that I love you!"
Ayato sunk to the bottom of the pool for the fifteen time, in three weeks. He wanted to drown himself in his own sorrows and never return to his pathetic excuse of a life.
He began to shut his eyes, when thinking about everything that went wrong in his life. Memories as a child came back to mind and how his mother used to abuse him. She also threw him into the river multiple times, watching him cry for help as he drown. He didn't understand why that woman hated him so much. He knew that she wanted power and he was the chosen one, but why couldn't he be a normal kid and play with his brothers sometimes?
Then another memory came to him years after. Even though, his brothers were also involved in the act of killing their mother. Ayato took all the blame for them, because it was his way of looking after his twin brothers. He was punished by his father, taking everything that man could throw at him. This only made Ayato become stronger and hate mostly everything around him except his brothers.
17 years later, Yui arrived. He fell in love with Yui in such a short time. He was in denial for a long as he could remember. Then Yui did the stupidest thing anybody could ever do, she stabbed herself with Subaru dagger to protect him. He never had anybody stick up for him before. This only made it easier to admit that he was in love with her. But how could he tell her? Instead of telling her how he felt, he avoided her for the next 3 months. Being the newborn she was now, it was hard to keep her away.
Now she was gone…she stopped showing up to school and she didn't even keep in contact with any of them. Breastless is so damn stubborn! He still couldn't believe she took it this far.
Ayato felt a wave of water flow towards him, he opened his eyes to see Subaru swimming at him. Subaru gripped Ayato arm and pull him up surface. He began to mouth words out, but it was impossible for Subaru to hear clearly underwater. They both swam to the top and climb out of the pool.
"What is the meaning of this Subaru," Ayato asked.
"Are you just gonna give up on everything now," Subaru questioned.
Ayato dried his hair with his towel, "I don't know what you are talking about."
"You know exactly what I'm talking about. Yui is obviously in trouble and she needs our help. I also fear for Mayu also. I saw her in the corridor at school and she looked on the break of tears. I never seen anyone look so horrified before." Subaru explained.
"So? Why are you bothering me with these pointless things? Yui made her choice and whatever her friend does is out of my hands." Ayato said, turning away from his brother.
Subaru picked up his wet sneaker and threw it at the back of Ayato head. With a glare, Ayato hissed at him, "You bastard! What was that for?"
"I expect that coming from Shu mouth, but never from yours." Subaru pointed out. "I'm asking you to help me Ayato. I never asked anything from you into today. So please, please help me?"
Ayato huffed in defeat, "fine. I'll help you."
Reiji POV
Reiji didn't bother with the nonsense that was going on at his home for the past few weeks. He mostly stayed in his studies, reading books about making different potions and herb teas.
When placing the book down on the table, he took off his glasses and caress the bridge of his nose. He felt out-of-place for the first time in many years. Everybody seemed to have someone they were moping over. As for him, he was alone; nobody to fight for and nobody to call his own. It didn't bother him into after he saw how happy Kanato made Izumi feel.
He wanted someone for himself, but he couldn't be bothered with the daily routine of trying to please her and making sure she stays happy. It was a full-time job just taking care of his brothers, since Shu wouldn't step up to the plate as the eldest sibling. Reiji claimed himself as head of household and took over from there on.
He reach over the table stand to grab a tea-cup from the silver tray. Picking up the tea-pot, he placed a napkin on his lap and poured some tea into his cup. Before he could get a chance to drink his favorite herb tea, a loud bang came from the main hall.
He gently put his tea-cup back on the tray and placed his napkin on the arm of his chair. Getting up from his seat, he could hear it getting louder. The door vibrated at the sound of each knock becoming more aggressive.
Once he got to the entrance, he swung the door open and glared at the person standing in front of him. It was a female, with orange hair and beautiful gold-brownish eyes that he didn't see every day. He was mesmerized by her beauty. Everything about her attracted him, including the scowl she return to him.
"May I help you?" Reiji asked, after cleaning his throat.
"I'm Aiko Fukui, is this the Sakamaki residents?" she replied.
"Yes, this is the Sakamaki residents." He told her. Reiji immediately looked over his glasses to stare at Aiko closely. "By any chance are you related to Mayu Fukui?"
Aiko pleasantly smiled at him, "Indeed I am. I'm her older sister."
"I wasn't aware that she had an older sister." He admitted before stepping to the side. "Please come in, Mayu isn't here now but she will be home shorty."
"Why thank you." Aiko said, looking around the manor, when walking inside. Her six-inch heel boots paddle against the floor and Reiji couldn't keep his eyes off. He led her to his studies and gesture his hand out for her to sit down in one of the chairs. "No thank you. I will stand." she told him
"Have it your way. Would you like some tea Ms. Fukui," Reiji offered.
Aiko waved her hand out, "please, call me Aiko. I feel like an old hag when you call me by my surname and yes I'd like some tea please."
He turned one of the cups over on its base and pour some tea into her cup. Grabbing a napkin he handed it to her along with the tea-cup. She circled the rim of the cup with the tip of her index finger before placing the cup against her lips, drinking it.
"It's not every day a beautiful young vampire hunter visits my home." Reiji announced. With that, Aiko spit every last drop of tea in Reiji's face as she purposely dropped the tea cup. It shattered into pieces in the middle of the floor where they stood.
A/N: That's it for this chapter. Please leave a review and I will be back soon. Bye.
