Through a vampire eyes

Chapter 10 A family meeting

Ayato's POV

"Clank!" The old hinges on my heavy chamber door swing shut with myself and Pancake on one side and all but one of my brothers returning to the sitting room on the other side. Waiting for the impromptu family meeting called by my damn Table-ware Otaku brother. The look of Reji's smug expression caused an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach for the reason for the meeting.

.

"Ayato-san, what is the meaning of this?"

Flashing my green eyes over to my bed to see Pancake huddled in the far corner of it, wrapped in a blanket with wide pink eyes glaring in my direction. Ah fuck, she must have come down from her masochist high and on the night of a full moon too ….Damn it, Reji you are so going to pay for this.

With the sight of Pancake wrapped in my blanket I mindlessly stroll over to my closet to hurriedly pull one of my freshly starched school shirts off its hanger. I then stroll over to Pancake to carelessly toss the shirt in her direction. As the button down floats in the air I happened to catch sight of my own bare chest and head back to the closet with a little irritation. Damn it! What the hell was I thinking? Mentally questioning my bizarre behavior for forgetting my own apparel shortfalls, and first remembering the blood bags.

.

While buttoning up I head back to the bundled up girl to notice my shirt lay untouched and next to her ….rejected. A bit annoyed by Pancake snubbing my rare moment of selflessness while I stand over the stubborn girl wrapped in a thick duvet that use to be on the surface of my bed. I lean in close to her face and throw out a hand to adamantly make my point. "Listen here Pancake, I don't want you leaving this room …in fact I don't want you leaving my bed."

.

The blonde's pink eyes flashed with anger as she snaps back. "How dare you! You can't just order me to stay here like this I'm going back to my room." Pancake fumbles with my oversized comforter wrapped around her body to swiftly leap from my messed bed.

Outraged a mere blood bag would dare talk to Yours Truly in such an arrogant tone. I easily find myself in front of the girl blocking her path with my arms folded at my chest, as my vivid green eyes burn towards her, "Shut your damn mouth …I can do what I want with what belongs to me…"

Pulling a hand out to slowly wander a single finger over the comforter until it reaches her chin. Gently lifting Pancake's head to see my wicked smile emerge on my lips. "….and you my dear Pancake now belong to Yours Truly ….or did that dense skull of yours forget that you've sworn your entire being to me."

"You're mind…" With a smirk on my lips I extend a hand to lightly flick the stunned girl's forehead.

"You're Body. "With a raised expectant eyebrow my vivid eyes leisurely travel up and down the girl's bundled form.

"….and of course…your soul. As you my dear are now pledged to me and only me. "The insides of my chest begin to burn with my last words.

With my words Pancakes mouth falls open, astonished as her mind thinks back to her screaming needful words. "But …but I…"

My lips widen further with the girls realization that Yours Truly …has won. "Oh, has it now started to finally sink in?"

Tossing the edge of the comforter over her shoulder as she throws her nose in the air and begins to arrogantly walk pass me. "Whatever, if you need me, you can find me in my room."

"Damn it Pancake! Right now I really don't have time for all your nonsense." Reaching out to grab the blanket with one good hard yank.

"Ayato…..give me that back!" Pancake yells back with flushed cheeks. She frantically crosses her arms at her chest, trying her best to conceal her naked form.

Glancing down to see the comforter in my hand causes another wicked smile to grow on my lips. "Well, be my guest but I'll be keeping this." Motioning in a grand sweeping gesture to my outer chamber door as I reveal a mischievous smile with the comforter held firmly in my grasp.

Pancake's golden locks spun off her neck as her angry eyes glared into mine. My male vampire side was immediately drawn to the sight. She stood with only the tiniest piece of yellow fabric shielding her most sensitive area, so outraged she couldn't find the words to express herself. Which for a change I found rather refreshing.

Damn it, Reji you are so going to pay for this.

With a smile full of mischief I confidently stroll over to swiftly reach out and trap the blood bag within my firm arms. Pancake attempts to struggle out of my arms. My head slowly falls to her neck to touch my lips to her burning skin. In the next moment my razor sharp fangs press down until her rice paper like skin gives way. Allowing pancake's warm candy to coat my tongue and trickle down my throat. As I take in the crimson treat Pancake begins to make her little arousing noises.

.

Hearing her enticed whimpers I take another bite when my arms suddenly feel like their wrapped around inflamed heat. My crimson covered lips deliberately drift to Pancake's searing needful mouth before crashing against them. The taste of her blood on my lips mixed with scorching heat of our kiss practically sends my primal side surging with new urges…. Reluctantly I tear myself away and stare in her wanting eyes while my voice slithers out in a calming tone. "Pancake, you will not only stay in my room but you will stay here in my bed until I return."

.

"Her pink eyes begin to soften and droop while her voice quietly drifts off. Ayato …what's happening …to …me?"

Pancakes bare form falls limp in my arms before I reach down to cradle her entire body next to me. Leaning my head down to whisper to the unconscious and stubborn girl. "Well, if you must know you're falling in a deep sleep. Goodnight Pancake, you really have given me no other choice. I'll see you in a few days …my bride." As the last unfamiliar words fell from my lips a sharp feeling strikes down my spine. For the moment I'll force the rather odd sensation back in the recesses of my mind to ponder at a later date. Since the Table-ware Otaku has his clutches into my Pancake there are more important matters at hand.

.

Keeping my eyes glued to just her face I slowly carry the fragile girl to my bed to gently rest her head on my pillows. Taking the same blanket that I pulled from her body to swiftly cover her with it. "Like Yours Truly told you before ….my brothers can't touch you in here …your safe."

My green eyes traveled over the blond beauty's sleeping form one last time before forcing my eyes away from the girl. Walking back into my closet for a fresh pair of clothes to prepare for the so called urgent family meeting. Extending a hand to a new pair of pants as I reluctantly call for my brother in my head. "Laito, I need to speak with you."

"….."

"Laito, I know you can hear me." Hopping on one foot as I slide my leg into my pants.

"Well of course I can hear you. I must say Ayato as much as I want to hear from my baby brother this isn't the time, I'm just about to get to the good part." My chest lets out a relieved breath for my brother's response.

"…." Reaching down to pull my favorite shoes closer to my feet to slide them on.

"Damn it, Ayato really? You're the one who contacted me in the middle of something."

"…."

"For fuck's sake…. Yours Truly?" A wicked smile forms on my lips as my big brother finally uses the proper name.

Walking out of my closet my eyes slide over to Pancake's sleeping form. "Hey don't blame me you weren't the only one to be asked to put away your toys...You can blame the Tableware Otaku for that." Walking into my bathroom to run my fingers through my hair.

"What the hell does he want?" My normally cool brother snaps in his thoughts causing me to roll my green cat like eyes in the mirror as I stare into it.

"I'm afraid He's called for a family meeting." Nodding my head to myself, seeing my hair looking rather agreeable in the mirror.

"On the night of a full moon…of all selfishly, thoughtless …Is the Table Otaku mad." Hearing my brother angrily spout off.

A malicious smile emerges on my face as my thoughts run to the bright beaming torture my brother endured at my hands. "Well after my little revenge he very well might be…Laito, they hinted it's about Pancake." My smile falls as Pancake comes to the fore front of my mind.

"What …..Little Bitch, what the hell is Reji up to?" Laito's thoughts come out in a bit of a surprise.

"I'm not sure but after seeing his smug, arrogant face of his I'm a bit concerned. They are waiting in the sitting room for our arrival."

"Well, look at you little brother all worried over a blood bag." My brother teases.

"Knock it off Laito, it's nothing like that." I snap back to my brother.

"Ah, yeah sure like you honestly believe that …. Fine, give me a minute or two, I need to repair a few things before I leave." My hat wearing triplet snidely thinks.

"Ok, well I'll be in my room when you get back."

"See ya in few, little brother."

After my brother leaves are "special" conversation my mind begins to pull apart my brother's implied words ….am I worried for the blood bag or is it just about protecting my heated crimson candy that flows freely within her. I couldn't help but notice the twisting pain in my stomach which has me believe it's not just about my refined pallet. When it comes to Pancake I'm learning it's a rather shrewd Idea to follow what my twisting stomach is trying to tell me .Whatever Reji might be considering I wanted it done and over with. Now that I know Pancake's blood sweetens with her arousal I'm dying to see just how far I can mercilessly tease her at her edge. Agghhhhh! Damn it, Reji you are so going to pay for this! Mentally screaming with overwhelming frustration.

.

Okay, I just need to not think about it and push pass the urge the full moon is funneling straight into my fierce male vampire libido….I just need to get through this family meeting …..Although, knowing what I know now, it's almost like "that man" had her made just for me…of course that would be ridiculous since "that man "knows nothing about me…not to mention she's just a blood bag. I know my triplets and I are mixed but the blood he mixed with happens to be stronger …making the three of us potentially stronger than "that man." But mixing with a blood bag, a fragile human being by all accounts, what would "that man" gain by doing this? But seeing he was pushing her towards Shu in hopes of him claiming the big chair it must mean something ….I'm not sure all of the puzzle pieces have presented themselves just yet .

.

"So, seeing an almost naked Little Bitch sprawled out on your practically destroyed bed leads me to think I wasn't the only one dragged away for this little meeting." My brother interrupts my thoughts causing me to glance around the room. Where I of course see him stretched out, sitting next to Pancake's unconscious body with his fingers lifting her covers.

Yanking the blanket from Laito's sneaky fingers to swiftly tuck them around the blond, keeping my gifts from his leering eyes. "Hey, will you knock it off!"

"Calm down little brother …..It's nothing I haven't seen before, in fact if memory serves me right it was just a few short hours ago." Laito places his hands behind his head.

"Yeah, well Pancake is mine …So hands off!" Glaring at my brother while my hands are still clutched firm on the blankets edge.

Laito raises an expectant eyebrow in my direction as his thoughts echo in my head. "Well that all depends, if you managed to make it official?"

"Yeah, yeah its official, I was finally able to get that stubborn girl to submit to me …..And yes before you ask, which I know you will …..Your little tip worked."

"Ha, I told you so, damn, the fun you two are going to have with that little trick." A wide smile emerged on my brother's lips.

If he only knew the half of it he wouldn't be laughing…..but luckily he will never know the little secret about Pancake's candy. I have absolutely no intention of Laito getting anywhere close to her to find out for himself.

My eyes snapped over to Pancakes covered, unconscious form as I shake my head of what would have been under the influence of a full moon. While speaking with more than a little irritation. "Yeah, I was in the middle of finding out when the rest of our brothers started knocking at my door demanding for me to call you ….Trust me I tried to at least get them to postpone the meeting until you were back on your own…but they refused and are waiting ."

Laito shrugs his shoulders while letting out a long sigh before speaking. "I guess there's no use pouting about missed opportunities, we might as well get this over with and see what Reji has up his sleeve."

Raising a knowing eyebrow to my older brother. "And after?"

Laito lets his normally carefree, cool demeanor slip as he begins to rant about our older half-brother. "Oh you're not the only one burning for some payback this time around. My primal animal side is still coursing with Little Bitch's electric current from before ….and on a full moon no less …..Who the hell calls a family meeting on a full moon? Just because that Table-ware Otaku likes to hold himself up in his room on a full moon with bottles of smelly chemicals, doesn't mean the rest of us do?"

A little stunned by my brother's words. "Wait, you're still suffering from the electric current from before? I would have thought you and little mouse would have already taken care of that by now …."

Laito extends a hand to scratch his head under his hat with a confused look on his face. "Believe it or not I tried but it's still there."

"Wait, you still feel it….after little mouse?" Stunned, my verbal words just kind of burst out of my mouth alerting all of our awaiting brothers to my triplet's arrival.

Throwing a finger to his lips. "SSSHHHHHH! Now you've done it. They probably know I'm back, we don't have a choice now….. We might as well go and find what Reji has planned.

"Yeah, before they come and retrieve us." And with that we both popped into the family sitting area.

Not a second later we managed to separately "pop" into our normal places. Leaning back with a rather bored expression on my face with my tense jaw cradled in my palms. My emerald eyes leisurely slide over to my triplets' couch. Laito is sprawled out with his hat slightly tilted over his eyes. I could see he wasn't his normally cool, carefree self as his arm is resting along the back of the couch like normal but his fingers were madly strumming impatiently. Kaito was sitting patiently staring off into space with his arms wrapped around his creepy bear that's perched on his lap. "If I had known Kaito would be mentally damaged setting "that woman" on fire I never would have let him do it."

"Oh, please, if you think that's what sent him over, you would be quite mistaken …..After all he was the one that suggested it?" Laito doesn't move a muscle as we carry on our mental conversation.

"Do you have any idea what this is about, yet?" My eyes curiously scan the room.

"Well look at you little brother all concerned for the little wifey."

"Knock it off! This isn't the time."

"Hmm, very interesting you didn't deny it …all teasing aside have you noticed the other's behavior."

My eyes slide over to the room before they land on Laito, remaining in his normal position but his mouth has curled into a small teasing smile under his hat. "Well, I noticed you and your strumming fingers does that count."

Laito stops strumming and discreetly slides his hand off the back of the couch to his side. "Besides me, Shu is in his normal spot laying out on the far off couch, away from the rest of us. If you look carefully on his neck his music is turned off….and don't you think it's odd that it's a full moon and no one, besides us seems to be bothered with the fact we've all been forced to attend this meeting….it's almost like …..Oh, damn let's hope that's not the reason."

.

"Laito, what reason...? I'm used to hearing your normal incoherent thoughts and even I don't know what you're trying to say."

"Which means they already know something more, then we do." Laito lets his thoughts run in my head.

"I could have already told you that, just by the way they looked when they came to my door!" My thoughts snapped as I crossed my arms.

"No, Yours Truly, I'm not referring to that …..Let's just hope, I'm wrong."

"I just want you to start making sense…soon."

I really hope I'm wrong about this, for Little Bitch's sake." Laito flashes me a concerned face.

"Look, Teddy my triplets are leaving me out once more…..carrying on a conversation and leaving me out as usual." Kaito squeezes on to his bear tightly as he chats with his one eyed bear.

"Sorry Kaito, were you saying something?" Laito lifts his head to ask our purple headed triplet a question.

Letting out a heavy sigh. "Never mind, Teddy heard what I said." My purple headed triplet snuggles closer to his bear while speaking in a depressed tone.

I rolled my eyes to my triplet's usual exchange, choosing to remain silent. I had other things to consider then my delusional brother talking to his one eyed bear.

Reji walks over to both my triplets and myself with a smug smile forming on his lips. "Well it's nice of you to finally join us," Speaking in a conceited manner as he raises a shaky hand to push his glasses back on his nose.

Seeing Reji's hand shake a small knowing smile emerged on my lips for only a second before purposely removing it from my features. My bored emerald green eyes slide over towards Reji's crimson eyes while speaking with a bit of irritation. "Well, what's the big idea calling for a family meeting during a full moon ….I'm sure some of us were tied up at the moment with more pressing matters, knowing are unyielding behavior at said time."

.

"Yours Truly, let the Table-ware Otaku explain….that seems to be the only way were going to learn anything around here…look at him he looks like the cat who just ate the canary."

Subaru slices through the air and smashes his fist against the wall causing little pieces to fly from it. "Damn it! Ayato let him explain!"

"Oh that's just fabulous, now I'm hearing an echo?" Sarcastically thinking.

"Knock it off, the hot head is right, for once." Laito snaps out in his thoughts

"Fine, what's this all about?" Ignoring the hot head's ranting while I look up towards Reji with a bored expression on my face.

"I was beginning to wonder, if you were even going to make a serious attempt to defend your property from her punishment." Reji arrogantly speaks.

"Punishment, what punishment are you blathering on about?" My head rests in my palm with an irritable expression on my face as my eyes remain on my brother.

Reji leans his head close to mine as he pushes up his glasses allowing the light to obscure my view of his eyes …But his smug smile that grew wider told me I'm going to despise the next words that slip from his lips ."Why the ultimate punishment for humans of course ….death."

"What the hell!" My mind snapped in a panic but my expression remained bored, unfazed.

"Reji you're jumping to conclusions were not really sure what punishment "the man" is calling for …I told you he's conflicted." Shu lazily speaks out with his eyes remained close.

"Fuck, that's what I was afraid of that's why nobody is bitching about being pulled away from a full moon to go to a damn meeting It's because "that man" has called for it not Reji . "

I didn't respond to my brother in thought or otherwise because my head reeled with the current information of "that man" calling for Yours Truly's Pancake to be punished…and if that was true there was very little I could do. With the new thought of losing Pancake my heart begins to race.

"Well, then you tell me the other punishment for running away not once but twice." Reji turns his head toward our older blonde brother while throwing up two fingers.

Shu cracks one eye at Reji before choosing to ignore our arrogant brother and closes his eye once more.

"Dam it, Laito did you say something about her leaving?" As my internal panic grew a sharp feeling radiates from my chest and sent throughout my entire body to fight. To protect what belongs to Yours Truly…to fight for Pancake.

"Oh please I wouldn't do that to Little Bitch. Just let the Table-ware Otaku plead his case …..Just act indifferent, the more you argue, the more Reji thinks he's winning."

But my brother's perceptive words came too late, the novel, inescapable feeling propelled me to enact what my body demanded. Leaping from my seat to stand fiercely close to the Table-ware Otaku as I push a finger in his chest while speaking with sparked outrage. "How the hell can you know something like that? Need I remind everybody Reji has been busy with the weather, recently? In fact I do believe he had a problem with the brightness in his bedroom." Folding my arms across my chest with my own smug smile emerging from my lips.

.

"You may think that I was the one …. But you would be entirely wrong, dear brother." Reji coolly speaks with his wicked smile widening even further.

"I think this is his own petty and bitter way to get back at me for forcing him to swallow some of his own medicine ….to follow his own damn rules for a change ….Reji if you want revenge so badly, I'm right here. Don't take this out on Pancake. " Leaning in closer to him as I seethe through my clenched teeth.

But Reji laughed, ignoring my challenge and simply walked away to stand in another part of the room. A long time ago when he decided one day to oppressively throw around his birthright towards my triplets. He learned the hard way not to mess with Yours Truly. I may be his little brother but I have been raised to be the best at all costs…..and unfortunately for the Table-ware Otaku he knows with my mixed blood I can be just that.

.

"Or pay absolutely no attention to my sage advice and defend her like some love-struck school boy…..Yeah that won't draw their attention." Laito's outer expression remains uninterested and slightly bored….but on the inside if he could roll his eyes in my direction, he would have.

As I was going back to gracefully sit down my brothers internal words caused my head to snap over to him with a confused expression on my face. "Love-struck? What the hell, that's impossible….isn't it?"

My brother ignored my outward expression before letting out a heavy sigh. "Well, apparently not…. Damn my thoughts, I really wasn't going to say anything to you, but think about your behavior since Little Bitch's arrival and you tell me otherwise."

"Look Teddy my triplets are doing it again one of these days we just might have to teach them a lesson for leaving me out." Turning his head to give me a demented look in his eyes that I wasn't afraid to admit to myself sent shivers down my spine.

Sitting back in my chair and regaining my outward bored expression, of course with our latest slips I'm sure the rest of my brothers were not fooled. "Laito will you shut the hell up this is hardly the time you have my attention divided. When you argue with me you cause me to fight on two different fronts, my attention needs to be on defending Pancake at the moment."

"See, this is what I'm talking about. The old Yours Truly wouldn't have even showed up on the night of a full moon, let alone cared to defend her ….you would just go out and acquire another blood bag."

Shut the hell up this isn't the time! Fine, if you will shut up I'll admit there is something different but that could very well be because of her exquisite blood…..and nothing more."

"It's not …and you are beginning to realize that aren't you?"

My head snapped over to my brother with an irritated expression. "It's impossible ….it doesn't matter at the moment, I need to concentrate …..Pancake's life is in jeopardy…that's all that matters."

"Exactly." A momentary smile curls on Laito's lips breaking his bored exterior.

A calm, lazy voice comes from across the room and breaks our internal discussion. "I can't be bothered with Reji's thoughts on the subject of seeking revenge. As for him being a witness, Ayato your right. Reji didn't see her, "that man" called and said he caught her at the train station. Before that he said she slipped away afterschool and tried to make a phone call …..And that someone didn't report it." Shu's blue eyes open to glance in Laito's direction before closing them once more.

.

Laito's eyes widen in shock for a split second before regaining his outward composure. "How the hell could he possibly know about that phone call…..unless Little Bitch's old phone number is also forwarded to "that man's" phone as well?"

"So the rules are absolutely clear, she dies and since she's your responsibility the task lies in your hands." Reji's smug smile widens as he hands Yours Truly's Pancake a death look on Reji's snide face is pushing my more violent vampire tendencies towards the Table-ware Otaku. My hands twitch at the thought of quite literally ripping his head off of his shoulders.

.

A small yawn could be heard before Shu begins to lazily speak as he lays out on his couch. "As usual you're glossing over what was really said, my dear brother …. That's not what "that man" said. He said he was reconsidering the normal punishment for her breaking the rules. He said it had something to do with Yui keeping her mouth shut, and proving her loyalty towards the family at the train station."

.

"Wait, we were both at the train station there was no one else there …..Unless."

"The ticket seller!" We both internally yelled out at the same time.

"Damn it, "that man" was right in front of us the entire time, that's why our family trick had little effect on him." I could see my brother slightly shake when a shiver went down Laito's spine, just thinking about it.

Reji walked over to our lethargic brother as he spoke. "Yes, but he also said she needed to be stopped from ever running away again so she can't possibly leak the family secret…..there's only one real way to do that …..Death."

"Ah hell, get on with it already?! Just tell them about the other punishment "that man "suggested?" Subaru impatiently yelled out while squeezing his fists at his sides.

Shu again lazily speaks without opening an eye."The other punishment "that man" suggested is for us to choose a brother if the blood bag didn't submit to anyone."

Shu's blue eyes turn towards my direction before an approving smile momentarily tugs on his lips. After are eyes met he closed them and turned his head." But as we have all been recently made aware that's simply not the case since an hour ago. So like Reji so boisterously explained the task falls on your shoulders, Ayato."

My hand pinches the bridge of my nose in irritation. "Shu, just spit it out, what does "that man" require of YoursTruly to do for the other punishment?"

Shu pauses for a moment before letting out a heavy sigh. He opens is eyes and turns his head to reveal a pair of somber blue eyes before he speaks. "He wants you to take her firsts …..Violently."

I couldn't help stare at Shu shocked. "What?"

Laito chuckles before speaking. "Well, well, that's at least better then death….I do believe "that man "is softening a bit."

"Laito, what the hell, is that what you call helping me?"

"Look it's not ideal, I'll give you that… but have you ever heard of "that man "relenting on anything? Put your crazy idiosyncrasies aside for once and look at Little Bitch's alternative punishment…in my mind your choice is clear."

My angry green eyes flash in my triplet's direction. "Do you really think my ideals are at the forefront of my mind at the moment?"

Shu breaks our internal conversation once more. "That man said we should take a clear family vote to decide….otherwise he'll make the choice for us."

With Shu's words I begin to scan the room at my brothers, causing me to swallow hard….Looking at my five indifferent vampire brothers who now hold my Pancake's fragile human life in the balance.

Either way we lose, the question is …..How much do we lose?
