To let off some steam, I went into the woods and near the lake...

The lake I saved Ayato from drowning in.

Looking for a familiar oak tree, I spotted it and stuck my hand in the hole. Feeling around for a thin, shrap object, I smiled, relieved to know it's still there.

Pulling out a silver, curved Medieval Roma Paramerion sword bedazzled with rubies on the edges, I began do a Romani dance with the sword on my head.

After balancing it perfectly, I took it off my head and began to dance quickly, slashing nearby trees.

This is how I let off steam if I am provoked badly or greatly angered.

'Ten out of six...Is he warning me to not meddle in something I don't know that will make him..mad? Whether displeased or crazy, he's both of those things. Perhaps he was..referring to something else? Ugh, he's so damn confusing!'

"Sister."

Stopping Paramerion, which was once my Mother's and she named it 'Nora', I realized that I could've slashed Reiji's face off.

Luckily, Nora only scraped his right cheek. I dropped Nora and let out a panicked, shaky breath.

"Reiji! I could've injured you! Don't do that again!" I scolded him and cupped his left cheek with my right arm.

With a flick of my tongue, the cut instantly healed.

Pulling back, I picked up Nora to go put her back in the hole of tree. "Now, what is it that you need?"

He adjusted his glasses, "I came here to question you about your plans for us heading to Iwami."

"What about it?"

Reiji adjusted his glasses, "What is your purpose for going there?"

"Only you and a few others know this, but...I have relatives there. I need to ask them about something important. This involves my Mother's death...and my safety."

"Nonsense. You are not in any type of danger," he replied. "Unless...he has something to do with this?"

My eyes darkened, "..Twenty-five percent of it, but it doesn't concern him. This has to do with the Luminitsa family. I'm taking you six with me, so you won't go on a frenzy. While we're there, we can enjoy ourselves at my beach house."

He seemed to be thoroughly processing this information.

"Anything else you would like to know? Or are you still suspicious of my actions?"

"Hm..I suppose it would be nice to get away for a while and this will benefit both parties," Reiji concluded.

('Get away' as in leave the mansion and 'both parties' as in her and the brothers.)

I smiled, "Thank you for understanding." I looked at the sky to see the sun was nearly off the horizon. "You should get some sleep. You have school in a couple of hours."

"Yes...but I have to repay you."

"Hm?" I hummed, looking down from the sky and at Reiji--who was closer to me.

"Repay me for what?"

He removed his glasses and tucked them in his vest's pocket, "Unlike our brothers, I will be gentlemanly about it. This is for my cheek," he said, sliding his hands to the small of my back.

He kissed my lips and invaded my mouth with his tongue. Quickly pulling away, he smoothly rubbed his lips against the right side of my neck.

Meanwhile, a weird substance spread through my mouth and all of a sudden, my body started to feel hot, I was unevenly panting, my cheeks became flushed and I felt weak.

"R-Reiji, wait..something's wrong..." I panted out, wrapping my hands around his shoulders.

"You must've tasted it by now, Miyami. The substance in your mouth.." he whispered in my ear, nibbling on it.

My eyes widened, 'He drugged me?! How dare he?! What do I do? I feel so weak and powerless! Damn it..'

I dropped to my legs on the fresh green grasd, holding my right fist over my heart, panting heavily and trying to control my breathing.

"So flustered that you cannot even stand up? My, I should create this drug more often. It pleases me to see my older sister to look so submissive."

I slowly looked up at him, "Reiji..I-I want y-you..I need you...*Smirk* Yes, my dear..I need you very much. I need you and your blood. Give it to me.."

Reiji glared..at the woman who was not me, "Interruptive woman. To think that my sister would let her guard down just because I gave her a simple drug is-"

I forced myself back into my body, "Shut up!" I yelled at myself. "Reiji! Take what you need, then leave," I said in a desperate tone.

"Ah, I see you can hold her back. Gladly," he said, then picked me up by my wrists.

He unhesitatingly plunged his fangs in the spot he rubbed his lips against my skin, but he didn't sink them in too far.

I arched my back, "Ah~.."

'Now I see..this drug makes me submissive and a masochist. Damn it, Reiji. He knew I wouldn't act like this, so he decided to drug me. *Sigh* Must I let down my pride a bit and do as they ask? No..Mother made that mistake and she sure as hell wanted me to grown up to learn from her mistakes.'

Reiji pulled me closer by my hips to which I held on to his shoulders again.

"R-Reiji, mhn~..ahh~...m-more~.."

He pulled away to stare into my eyes, my clouded eyes of pleasure that I could see in his ruby red ones.

"More, you ask? *Chuckle* Beg for it."

My eyes slightly widened before glancing away, "P-please..."

"It is rude to mumble under your breath, you should know that, Miyami. Say it louder," he ordered.

"Reiji..p-please!"

He smirked in satisfaction, "Good gi-"

"Please! Please, don't do this yourself! I begging for your sake! I don't want you to become like I used to be!"

Pursing my lips together at what I said, I finally found the strength again, so I teleported to the other side of the field.

"Shouting in someone's face is uncouth. *Sigh* I guess I am satisfied for today. And what do you mean by 'like you used to be'?"

I shadowed my face with my bangs, "I..I enjoyed making people suffer..in secret, th-the day I-I suddenly left not too long after graduating from Ryoutei early...I never killed anyone, but..I most certainly got back at those w-who treated m-me unfairly in the first year of college..in a cruel manner. *Cries* I-I've built up s-so much rage after seeing..*sob* wh-what you and your brothers *sob* went th-through! *Sniff* Sometimes, w-when none of y-you cry..I have to cry for you!"

Falling to my knees, I covered my face to veil the horrible look I was making as I kept crying and sobbing.

"*Sniff* Th-this is m-my fault! If..If I was stronger..*sob*..if my M-Mother wasn't in a messed up situation..if w-we could've escaped...t-this would've turned out differently! All I wanted *sob*..was the best for you! In the end, *sniff* I received such 'luck'! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"

"...Sister..."

Feeling his presence approach, I covered my face with my left arm and scooted back on my right hand, "D-don't touch me! I'll taint you even more! Not showing my emotions and only smiling during the worse times is why you're like this!"

*Silence*

Not hearing anything, but cicadas crying, I removed my arm from my face to see my younger brother was no where to be found..

"...You left...because you refused to see me like this..." I mumbled to myself.

~Small Time Skip~ -Kanato's P.O.V-

I kept walking around the mansion, trying to find Big Sis, but it's as if she's disappeared.

I stopped in my footsteps, "Ne, Teddy? You don't think..Big Sis has left us, do you?...You're right, she..couldn't have. She loves us.."

Continuing my walk and turning different hallways, I passed by Reiji as he rounded a corner.

Yes, I would've asked him of Big Sis' whereabouts, but he may give me a boring lecture on finding her myself.

Noticing something off, I stopped again in my footsteps and looked back to see him stepping into his room and closing the door.

My eyes narrowed at the door before turning back around and staring down at Teddy.

"Ne, Teddy..that look on Reiji's face...What would you call it?...Distraught, hm? That's interesting..I thought I would never see such an emotion on his face."

Starting my walk again, I rounded a few more corners, then I heard a voice coming from the entrance hall.

I pressed my back against the wall near the staircase and listened in to..my sweet Big Sis's voice.

"This is all my fault...I need guidance, Lord above..Oh, wait..you stopped listening to me three years ago because of my actions...I apologize..for leaving my brothers, for not trying harder to make everything better..for making a selfish promise of not coming back here, thinking my brothers could do better without me..."

Hearing a device, perhaps her cellphone, ring, she answered it.

"Hello?...Oh, Fuko, it's you...*Smile* Yeah, I'm alright, I just came back in my home from running...How's my family? Perfectly fine, the issue is almost solved...My parents? I..I rather not talk about them...How many siblings? Six brothers. Yeah, I've got it rough, ahaha...Thanks for checking on me, you're so kind...Okay, goodbye for now."

After her conversation sounded like it ended, I turned the corner, holding Teddy tightly to the point of shaking.

"...I'm such a failure..."

"Big Sis."

-Miyami's P.O.V-

"...I'm such a failure..."

"Big Sis."

Gasping out of panic, I looked up to see Kanato staring at me..with a maddening glare and was shaking..with rage?

"Kana-kun, what..what is it?"

He stopped shaking and smiled genuinely, "Let's have a tea party."

(And that's when Miyami knew...she done effed up. I have four more chapters to go since I said I would go up to 16 chapters--if not seventeen.)
