Bloody Fangs
Chapter 13
Nnoitra turned sharply, holding one long, bony finger into the air, "I know what I must do!"
"Put on some pants under that robe?" Shinji winked at Nnoitra, who only glared back.
"No, well, yes." Nnoitra cleared his throat.
"About time," Grimmjow grumbled irritably. Nnoitra opened his mouth but was quickly interrupted by Di Roy.
"What are we going to do about her?"
"Who?" Nnoitra followed Di Roy's finger which pointed at Meari. She sat huddled together, Natsuko beside her, mumbling to herself, "Oh, her. Well that can't be good."
"Maybe we should go comfort her," Di Roy perked up, excited and ready to go comfort.
Nnoitra laughed loudly before pulling Di Roy close and whispering harshly, "Right, how do we do that? We're vampires and werewolves, not sissy, pathetic, emotional humans or good for nothing therapists who get paid too much to listen to people bitch and moan about their problems."
Shinji leaned over to Grimmjow, whispering to Grimmjow as Nnoitra raged at Di Roy, "I think he needs a tampon."
"No shit, maybe two or three."
"Why would you say- Oh."
"Maybe some Midol and chocolate?" the two looked at Ggio, almost forgetting he was standing there.
"Yeah, that's a great idea. He need to chill out is what he needs to do," Grimmjow glared at Nnoitra, who was smacking Di Roy for who knows what reason now.
Starrk strolled over, crossing his arms lazily over his chest, "You guys know how he gets what the Snowflake is mentioned."
"Doesn't mean he needs to take it out on others," they all returned their attention back to Nnoitra.
"If you want to go play human, go right ahead. Now, excuse me, I have pants to put on, and a white tick to incinerate," Nnoitra turned to them, walking a few steps before stopping at Di Roy's hilarious remark.
"Fine, be a jerk. I'll go take care of her."
"Oh yeah, you're gonna take care of her. You can't even take care of yourself!" He turned again to watch Di Roy walk to Meari, "This I've got to see."
"Hey, how's it going?
"Fine, just fine; all fine. There's nothing wrong, everything's fine," Meari tweaked, her eyes twitching and muscles spasming uncontrolably.
Di Roy knelt down in front of her, "You sure? You need anything?"
"I'm starting to thing this wasn't a good idea; I mean, we're not even real 'Vampire Hunters', we just moved here on a whim because of me. If she gets hurt, it'll be all my fault." Meari burst into tears, "I just want my friend back!"
"Say what?" Di Roy glanced quickly over his shoulder, "You really did lie about being a Vampire Hunter?"
Nnoitora's ears burned as a smile formed on his face as he looked at the others beside him, "See? I told you guys she wasn't a real Vampire Hunter."
"To be honest, I thought everyone here was just crazy and on drugs, I didn't think they really had a Vampire problem, just wild animal attacks," she looked up at Di Roy, tears streaking her face, "I know they aren't a myth, I was stupid to go along with it. I just wanted to move to a not frozen, snow burried place, you know?"
Nnoitra walked up on long strides, "Yeah, well guess what. They're here, they're dangerous. Razah's probably going to end up dead from your stupid choices."
"How is it you can remember her name but it took you nearly a year to remember mine?" Di Roy looked up at Nnoitra who blatantly ignored him.
"If she's dead by the time we find her, you guys can drain me of my blood since I'm sure that's what will happen to her." As the last word passed her lips, she was struck with a book. She looked over at Natsuko whose icy eyes glared at her, a silent rant that she could understand, "I'm sorry, Natsuko."
"Make sure to mark your best vein, we don't want a giant mess."
Shinji smacked Nnoitra, "Stop it, we're not going to drain her. It may be her fault they are here, but it's not her fault the Snowflake showed up at the last minute. There's many out there who wouldn't believe in the vampires."
"Didn't you hear her, she said she knows they're real."
"It's not her fault the modern world has desensitised everyone to the real threat," all eyes turned to Starrk, "This town has experienced the problem before, so they're aware. Outside of here, everything is renaissance fairs and folk tales."
"Either way, I'm going to go put my pants on. I will be back, then we can continue with the plan."
"He never told us his plan," Di Roy muttered as they watched Nnoitra disappear into the woods, headed back to the mansion for pants.
"He's such an ass."
"He may be an ass, but he's our ass," Shinji patted Grimmjow's shoulder, "Which is why we put up with him."
Di Roy turned back to Meari kneeling down and resting a hand on her shoulder, "Your life shouldn't be given up just because of a mistake."
"No, I didn't just make a mistake. I made a huge mistake."
