After my strange encounter with Kanato, he didn't bother to explain when or where to have the tea party.
For the remainder of the day, I avoided my brothers and I knew they were concerned of my whereabouts, but I still didn't reveal myself.
Before I went out, I quickly packed my bags of my clothes, perfume, and feminine products; then, changed into comfortable clothes, which consists of a white long sleeved, crop top with a bow in the middle, denim jean caprice, and white flats with white bows on the front.
Actually, I was out in the city buying me a sheath for Nora, contacting my dealership to tow my truck--which is a 2015 goldish Chevrolet Suburban eight seater--to the mansion, buying needed items for our trip, and buying myself sweets..to make me feel better.
(It's what makes a Subaru a Suburban. ;) )
As the sun set began, I entered the gate's of the mansion, I saw that my Suburban is on the left side of the fountain.
Going to the truck, I typed in the code to unlock the driver's door, then I pressed the button to open the trunk before grabbing my keys on the seat and closing the door.
Putting the items for the trip in the trunk, I heard the door to the mansion closed.
Glancing behind me, I saw a limousine had pulled up and my brothers staring at me strangely.
I went back to doing what I was doing, "Hey, guys. I was just out buying some things for the trip. I hope you all packed your things. Have a good night at school."
"You at least could've notified us of this," Reiji spoke to me.
I turned around, "*Smile* Sorry, I guess I'm full of surprises. Now, I don't want you all to be late. Go on ahead to school."
"And leave you here alone? Uh-uh, I don't think so," Ayato told me.
"It's not like I'm going to leave," I said as a small frown spread on my lips.
Kanato stepped up, "Big Sis, you-"
His eyes suddenly widened and he dropped Teddy, then fell forward.
My sister instincts kicked in and I caught the now unconscious Kanato in my arms.
"Kanato?!" I asked, lightly shaking him, but he didn't respond.
"Well, that doesn't look good," Laito spoke with a certain expression on his face I couldn't decipher.
With my tremendous strength, I put him on my back, wrapping his arms over my shoulders and held the back of his thighs.
"I'll take care of him while you all are at school," I said as I pressed a button on my small remote to close the truck. "I just hope he hasn't gotten himself sick somehow.."
Levitating Teddy in the air, I realized Ayato was about to protest against it, but I was gone before he could say anything.
Teleporting into the entrance hall, I moved him from my back and held him in my arms, then walked up the stairs.
Carefully turning a few corners, I found it complicated to open the door, so I just teleported into his room.
Going over to his bed, I was about to gently set him on it until his eyes shot open.
"*Sigh* Kanato, thank goodness you're awake. Are you okay?" I said and asked in a quiet tone.
He stared at me, "Mhm.." he hummed and nuzzled his head against my chest.
I sat down on his bed with him still in my arms, "You look so innocent..but you're really deceitful. That was some nice acting."
"Aw..I thought you really fell for it. When did you realize?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around my neck.
"As soon as I caught you in my arms. I only went along with it because I haven't spent much time with you, you yearn for my attention, and we still haven't had that tea party," I explained.
His pale purple eyes looked up at me, "I only said that...to get you in my presence."
I smirked, "You're quite the mischief maker, Kana-kun."
Levitating Teddy over to him, he grabbed him with his right hand.. but then threw him across the room.
"Who needs that thing...when I have you," he whispered before pushing me on to his bed and placing his hands on each side of my head.
"Kanato...do you want some blood?" I asked with straight face.
He nodded in response, so I moved the left side of my collar to the side and turned my head to the right after brushing my hair from my skin.
"Drink as much as you need.."
"Ha, this is so cute. Big Sis is willing to do anything for us because she 'loves' us," he mumbled.
His lips pressed against mine and I internally panicked, 'No, not again! *Sigh* I shouldn't really complain..they don't know any better..because they're broken inside and was taught love a different way. No matter how hard I tried to make them see otherwise..my efforts were futile.'
Feeling my left hand being lifted up, Kanato sunk his fangs into my wrist and I slightly winced since he didn't prepare it.
"Ngh..warn me beforehand, Kana-kun," I said as a small smile etched on my lips.
"Mhm," he hummed in agreement, staring into my eyes the whole time.
Suddenly, he let go of my hand and began to kiss my neck multiple times. Thinking he was going to bite me, I tensed up, but he only lightly nibbled.
"Big Sis is hurting on the inside..so I went easy on you today..." he mumbled before hugging me and snuggling his face into the left crook of my neck.
I wrapped my arms around Kanato's back, refraining from tearing up, "So..y-you did hear me earlier? I'm s-orry, Kana-kun. I just have to stay strong..f-or you and your brothers. Hey..I got a secret. Can you keep it?"
Once again, Kanato nodded his head.
I lightly pecked his forehead and let my lips linger there, "Really...she's is breaking on the inside; soon, you can sing me Scarborough Fair again."
Quickly, Kanato pulled away from me and Miss Cordelia chuckled as she cupped his cheeks.
"Why so shocked, Kanato? Surprised to see your mother?"
Seeing the intense shock and fear in Kanato's brought me back to have control over my body.
"Big Sis, don't disappear again.." he muttered.
"I won't Kana-kun, I won't. I'll be right back. I have to go deal with her.." I whispered before levitating Teddy back to him.
Teleporting outside into the garden, I clutched my hands over my heart and tried to control my breathing.
"Pain, pain, go away, come again another day. Pain, pain, go away, come again another day..." I mumbled to myself.
Slowly, but surely, the darkness in my heart began to settle down and fade. My panting stopped, so I regularly breathed through my nostrils.
Looking around, I decided to head to the back of the garden, where no one is able to enter because of the barrier I placed around it.
If anyone entered the barrier, it would appear to be apart of the garden, but if I entered it or allowed others to see what was inside...
A white coffin in the middle of green grass field surrounded with blue-green Plumeria flowers and never-ending night sky filled with stars would appear.
I approached the coffin and sat down in front of it.
"...Hello, Mother."
Of course, there was silence.
"Though you know probably this, I've come back..'home'. My brothers..they're so much different now, it's almost..sad and heartbreaking. I feel as if God has abandoned me, and you're the only one I can turn to for help..*smile* though you would tell me he hasn't...and yes, I believe you. I just..feel so lost, y'know? But I'll be okay as long as there's hope. Anyway, we're going to Iwami..*frown* I bet you know why. Like Dominique and Marcel, someone..was your downfall..someone close to you and I know it wasn't Father. I will not rest until I find your murderer and avenge you. Speaking of Father...he claims he is incapable of loving...Did you ever love him? Did he really ever love you? As his daughter, does he..even love me..or hold any type of caring love in that dead heart of his for his sons, wives, anyone...I sometimes wonder about your decisions, Mother. Give me a sign for aid, anything would do.."
Standing up, I walked back to the entrance of the portal, 'This is nostalgic. I used to come here once a month to visit her before I left.'
The wind softly blew...
Krone...Demon World...First Blood...
Said a whisper.
Stopping in my footsteps, I closed my eyes, engraving the limited information in the back of my skull.
Stepping out of the barrier, I looked up to see that it was night time.
My eyes softened once I saw the Blue Moon, 'Well..time does move a bit fast in the barrier, that shouldn't come as a surprise. Kanato should be resting after being traumatized like that...I'll use this time to go look for answers.'
(This one was shorter than I imagined. I find Kanato to be adorable in a psychotic way. Anyway, I recommend reader-chan/kun to watch "42 Things Wrong with Diabolik Lovers" by 42believer on YouTube. Trust me, you won't regret the truths in that video.)
