I do not Skip Beat.
Enjoy!
The gorgeous family had made quiet the impression on the party hosted by Lory Takarada.
Theo want out for air and never came back, an hour later the rest of the family left.
There was loads of questions aimed at the president about who they were and how he even know them.
However, what people were most interested about was the guy who looked like a younger version of Yashiro when he was still alive.
Yashiro parents especially went to Lory about that.
They had finally met the man from the billboard but they wanted more information, like his background.
It was safe to say that more than one person was googling the 'Beautroux' name, the same night.
It was very shocking when they saw just how big the name actually was, on an official Wikipedia.
Nobody had any idea just how much the family had managed to claw their way into big and successful Tokyo based business.
It was a miracle that they hadn't touched Lory Magical Entertainment yet, but that didn't mean that the company did not do business with companies that were partially owned by the family.
With such a background each member of the family must have been born with Diamond encased golden spoons in their mouth and Lory wouldn't even be surprised if they could buy several hovering limousines and not make a dent in their fortune.
With such an insane family background who was crazy enough to do anything to upset one of them?
It was like there were god in a crowd of regular people.
However, Lory could see the huge benefits that came with trying to do business with them.
However, the family had gone mysterious quiet.
Ch 12: Please come in
"You're going out?" Said, the voice of Ines.
Theo turned to find that she was right behind him in a tight red dress.
"You know that the Head of the Family is here" Ines said. "The Dinner of Blood is closer than ever. Once it's over, we all split ways. Don't you want to spend as much time with the family now that we are whole?"
"Ines. I just want to get some fresh air" Theo said.
"You feel restrained right?" Ines said, making him surprised. "I often forget how young you are. When I first became a Vampire. I too was out all the time and barely spent time indoors. My senses ran wild and I wanted to taste all kinds of people. We have only been drinking from the servants in the house these past couple of days. It's natural that your body wants to taste something different"
And Theo know she was right, despite having the whole family here, he grew dissatisfied with the blood he drank.
He wanted to explore.
"Eventually when you get older, your instincts would stop being so rapid" Ines said, knowing she was right. "Go out and have some fun. Your usually so uptight. I'm sure the Head would understand, he was young once too"
And Theo just couldn't imagine that man as a young and inexperienced Vampire.
How old was he exactly?
He must have been alive way before even his grandpa was born.
"I'll be going now" Theo said, walking out of the house and walked down the street.
At the same time, those who were the sworn protectors of the family saw him and divided themselves, one group could follow him and keep him safe in case while the other group would protect the house.
The moment he stepped onto the street, Theo was hit with so many delicious smells but one was particularly delicious.
He just couldn't help himself and followed.
"S-Son?" Said, a voice snapping him out of his trance.
His eyes went wide when he saw his own mother right in front of him.
Damn it.
He should really engrave the scent into his mind, so that he know it was his mother.
He forgot to ask Ines why his mother smelled delicious to him.
It was hard for him to believe that the rest of the family did not immediately go for her, since she smelled so wonderful.
Did Vampires eat their own mothers?
He felt sick but at the same time, a part of him wanted to sink his teeth into her.
"Mister T-Theo?" The women tried again.
He responded to the name.
"Who are you?" He said.
She was surprised, did he not remember her when they met 3 days ago!?
"It's Mrs Yashiro" She said. "We met at a party 3 day's ago"
"Mrs...Yashiro?" He said before 'recognition' entered his eyes. "You and your husband talked to me at that glasses and suit party"
"I'm so glad, you remember me" She said, even though she know this wasn't her son, she couldn't help but happy that she made a lasting impression.
Theo noticed that she was carrying a lot of bag's.
It should be fine right?
He know he was supposed to act like a member of the family but this was his mother...
"Do you need, help?" He said. "That looks heavy"
The women's eyes went wide and she said. "Thank you, but I'm okay" but he still took a surprising amount, lessening the weight on her shoulders.
"Is it really okay?" She said.
"It's fine" Theo said, before saying. "Where is your house?"
Theo then followed her to her house, his good looks caused seriously uproar which his mother was very shocked to see it happen around her.
"Oh, my. Look at that man. He has silver hair!" Said one women.
"He's gorgeous" Said, another woman. "Is, the women next to him his mother?"
"Where is he going? I like a good-looking guy in glasses" Said, another woman.
Theo had kept the fake glasses.
People started to actually follow them which left her in completely shock.
This had never happened to her before and it made her realise just how good-looking Theo was to the outside world.
They arrived at the house and the crowd had stopped in disappointment when the two went in and they could not follow.
He felt extreme nostalgia when he walked into the house that he grow up in.
"I'm home" Said the person who was his mother, before adding. "And brought help"
Soon the man of the house showed up and both Theo and his dad stared at each other, for a really long time.
Both of their emotions were high but they managed to put up a front.
"You're Mr Yashiro, right?" Theo said.
"Sorry, If, we may have offended you before" Mr Yashiro said.
"It's fine" Theo said. "I over reacted."
Both of them were relieved.
"Where do I put these?" He said.
"Let me show you to the kitchen" His mother said and he followed.
They walked into the little kitchen and he put the food on the table.
When his mother went to take the food from the bag's, he finally noticed that her sleeves looked worn out and the amount of food in the bags was abnormal.
It was like she was going to cook enough food for fifty people.
"Thank you for helping" She said.
"You've purchased a lot of food. I didn't realize that two people could eat this much" Theo said.
"Oh, only a small part is for me and my husband" Said, his mother. "I work at a canteen and they require that I bring my own ingredients."
Mom...you work? Since when? Theo thought.
"Doesn't your husband work or are you the breadwinner?" Theo said.
"My husband does work but our son died some years back" His mother said. "He had a really good job and would usually send money every month. But when he died, to give him a proper burial was really costly. People came forward to give money for the funeral, they even told us that we didn't have to pay them back. But we're honest people. We couldn't take money without trying to give it back. I took up a job to pay those people back"
His parents for the sake of burying him were running themselves into the ground.
They were both just under 50 years old.
This was not how he imagined his parents to be.
Before when he had such a good job, he had planned on taking care of them so well that they would never have to work again.
And then that fire happened.
"By the way, would you like something to eat or drink?" His mother said, then his father came in.
"I should get going" He said.
"No, we insist that you have something. Your shoulders must be sore from carrying so much" Said, his father.
They both praying that he wouldn't leave.
Their desperation must have shown in their eyes.
"Well, if you insist" He said, sitting down. "Do you have Coffee? If not, I don't mind water"
Coffee and water were pretty much the only thing's he could taste and have taste like soil.
Both of them looked happy and he watched as his mother went to work with making coffee.
"Do you take coffee with sugars and milk?" She said.
"I'm fine without sugar and milk" He said, surprising them both.
"Biscuit?" His father said, he had apparently opened a box of expensive biscuits and placed them on a plate.
"No, thanks" He said, as the coffee was placed in front of him.
Over the years he had tasted many coffee's and developed quiet a taste.
So, the coffee from the nearby supermarket wasn't really doing it for him anymore.
However, it was prepared by his own mother...
"Thank you" He said, taking it and giving a sip.
So bland...
"I can always change the coffee if you don't like it" His mother said, his distaste must have shown on his face.
"It's okay" Theo said, "It's the first time, that I've tried instant commoners' coffee. Usually the coffee bean is prepared in front of me."
Actually, it was he who prepared the coffee beans for his Mistress.
He felt so bad for lying.
"You don't mind us asking but why are in Tokyo?" His father said, getting him to look at him. "I'm sure a man as handsome as you, would be all over the media."
"I came because my family" He said.
That's right, he came for his family.
"Family?" His mother said.
"Every five years, my family meet's up and we all have one big dinner together" He said, "We barely get to see each other before that and when that Dinner is over, we go our separate ways, until the next dinner. It's really the only time, I get to see my whole family in one place"
And that's why he shouldn't be betraying them like this.
"I'm sorry, I asked" his father said, he couldn't imagine growing up and only seeing the people you were related to, once every 5 years.
"I take no offence" He said, before he got up and said. "I must be going now"
Nobody stopped him from walking out because they know that their words held no power over him.
He walked out and signaled for taxi.
He got in and paid the driver, before putting on his gloves and opening his phone and began to text to his personal bank account.
The people in charge know it was him, immediately.
His typed.
'Transfer XXXX money to this account number: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX. If they ask about the sudden money, hire somebody to tell them they won a contest and throw in a Cruise Vacation. If they spend all the money, notify me.'
His orders were immediately followed.
Theo know this was all he could do for them.
Vampire's weren't supposed to have any emotional attachment to Human beings.
Now, he know his parents were taken care of and will never have to work again.
They will spend the rest of their life in luxury.
It was truly good bye to his old life.
Now, he was going to be a member of the family all the way.
And that mean's picking up a woman to drink from.
His expression turned feral when he thought about blood, which the driver thankful did not see.
Theo made the driver stop near a street and the man could not help but be completely amazed by how fast Theo managed to bag a gorgeous woman who was walking down the street.
Damn.
Where was the book he needed to read, to pick up hot chick from the street?
"I'm home!" Theo said, walking in, followed by the woman who he did not even know the name of.
"Your home, is so nice" Said, the women, in awe.
Did he really live here?
"Welcome, back, Theo" Ines said, then she saw the woman and left.
"Who?" Said, the women, that woman was gorgeous.
"She's my cousin" Theo said. "Let's go upstairs to my room"
They were about to walk passed the living room, when Theo heard.
"Theo, your just in time" Said, a voice, he recognized as the Head of House.
He froze and turned towards the voice but who his eyes managed to land on immediately almost made his dead heart came back alive.
It was Lory Takarada.
The man looked at him and he looked at him.
The man had found him.
And scene!
Next chapter, Lory is surprised to see Theo with an unknown female and face's the man who is apparently the head of House, who seemed to be a new beast he had never accoutered before. A talk of a deal is made and staggering money figures are being released into Lory disbelieving ears. Review/fav and follow!
