*MO-MO'S POV*
I slowly drifted into consciousness. My head hurt like hell, though that was nothing new. I found myself lying on a soft bed in a dark room where there were a few candles lit.
"So you've woken up." I nearly jumped at the unexpected sound that came from my right. Much to my surprise, the source of the voice was Kirane and not that annoying Yuki.
"What do you want?" I growled irritably. "Shouldn't you be off courting Faiyuki?"
"In due time I shall. But I have some business with you first." Kirane said with a smirk.
I raised an eyebrow. "What would you want with me?"
The vampire stood up, and put his face close to mine, looking me straight in the eye. "Please... You must tell me how to win Kitten's love."
"Huh....?" I stared with a gaping mouth and wide eyes.
"You are her closest friend, are you not?" The vampire asked while moving in a little too close to me. "You must know what she looks for in a man. Please, tell me what it will take to make her love me."
I pushed the vamp away from me. "Uh... yeah... look, I don't think you have a chance in hell when it comes to winning over Fai. She hates you. It's as simple as that, and there's nothing you can do to change it."
Kirane smirked. "Fortunately for me, I'm too stubborn to let things end like that. Regardless of what you say, I will still try. Now tell me everything about her." I sighed. He makes a good effort, but Fai likes guys like Kurama... This guy's way too pushy. Not to mention his charm is too overwhelming for it to be attractive. Kirane then grabbed me by the chin and forced me to look him in the eye. "I said; tell me everything about my dear Kitten." He demanded harshly.
I swatted his hand away. "Come on, if I'm gonna tell you anything about her, you've gotta be more specific than 'everything'!"
"Alright then; what's her favourite color?"
I paused for a moment. Not quite the insightful question I was waiting to answer. "Um... She likes red... blood red. And blue... Yellow too, I think."
"Perfect." The vampire smiled. "Now tell me what kind of food she prefers to eat."
"Well, she likes... Wait; do you even know how to cook human food?" I questioned.
Kirane smirked. "Of course. I can cook any form of human food. And tonight she will be dining on whatever manner of cuisine you tell me, which will be prepared by me."
Jeez, this guys gonna take anything I say as the gospel truth. Wait... Now there's an idea. I smiled. If he finds out, I'm dead, though... No, wait, Yuki wouldn't let him hurt me no matter what! So that means... "Well, she definitely loves pasta... real Italian style, you know? And she adores really cheesy sauces... Particularly alfredo sauce."
"I see..." Kirane said, clearly pleased.
**********
After a good hour of questions, Kirane finally seemed fully satisfied and left. Since he didn't trust me being alone, a little girl who looked about six years old was left with me. After introductions, I realized that she was Akira, the vampire who had brought us gifts from Yuki and Kirane during the tournament.
"So where's Faiyuki?" I asked.
"Elsewhere. You're not permitted to see her." The small vampire explained.
"Whatever..." I muttered.
"You know, you should really change your clothes... They're looking kinda worn out." Akria said, looking me up and down.
"Yeah, you're probably right..." I agreed. "Is there anything for me to change into?" Akira pointed to a large wardrobe. I walked over and looked inside, but then froze. "What... the hell is this?!" I exclaimed as I pulled out a white, frilly maid's outfit. Everything in the wardrobe was a white maid outfit, but with slight differences in the design.
"Yuki picked it out for you." Akira said simply.
"That fucking..." I stopped myself before I went insane. "He could have at least have made everything black!"
"Don't worry; I brought you something else to wear for the time being." Akira said with a sigh as she handed me a white kimono. "You friend had a similar reaction to what Kirane picked out for her; so I figured you, too, might want something else."
"Thanks..." I said as politely as I could. I was surprised she was being so nice to me.
"But like I said, it's just for the time being. When Yuki gets here, he'll probably want you to wear one of his outfits." Akira explained as I changed into the kimono.
"Who cares what that idiot wants? I'd never wear any of those outfits in a million years!"
"MO-MO!" I heard an unpleasantly familiar voice call out from the doorway.
"Yuki..." I growled as the vampire entered the room.
"Akira, you can leave now. I want some time alone with my sweetheart." Yuki said as he shooed Akira out of the room, and closed the door behind him. He then turned to me, with an overly-excited face. I responded with a glare. "Where did you get that outfit, Mo-mo? The color looks great on you, but I had some other styles prepared for you."
"First of all, I hate white!" I exclaimed. "Second of all, I would never in my entire life wear a fucking maid's outfit!"
Yuki then suddenly approached me and took my hands into his own, and looked me directly in the eye. "Don't worry; I shall have a better outfit made for you immediately. Is there anything else you want?"
"Uh..." I started, taken aback by the invasion of my personal space. "Well.... I'm kinda hungry..."
"Don't worry; I know how to cook, so I'll fix you a meal right now!" Yuki said with excitement as he led me out of the room and down a long, dark hallway. The next room we entered was a large dining room that had a long table with fancy plates and cutlery. It too had candles for light. Yuki closed the doors behind us and locked them with a key."Sit down and relax. I'll be back shortly with a meal for you." He then went through a small door that most likely led to the kitchen.
"Great..." I muttered to myself as I sat down at a random seat. "Now what?" I looked around the room, hoping to find another exit. Much to my dismay there were no other doors, nor were there any windows. With no way to escape, I would just have to wait for Yuki to come back.
I sat there for a good 15 boring minutes before I heard someone fiddling with the lock to the doors of the dining room. They suddenly opened, letting in none other than Faiyuki and Kirane.
"Yuki!" I called out to my friend.
"Mo-mo!" She replied as we ran to each other and hugged tightly. "Are you okay? Kirane didn't hurt you when he brought you here, did he?"
"No, I'm fine." I told her.
"Mo-mo? Did you call me?" The vampire Yuki asked as he burst into the room. We all stared awkwardly at the pink apron he was wearing, if nothing else.
"Since when do you cook?" Kirane eyed his brother curiously.
"Ah... Well, I wanted to do something special for Mo-mo..." Yuki stuttered with a slight blush on his face.
Kirane sighed. "Whatever. Just get out of the kitchen. I need to prepare Kitten's dinner."
"But I'm not done making Mo-mo's!" Yuki argued.
"Who cares? I'm the older brother, now listen to me!" Kirane commanded.
"But I got here first!" Yuki objected.
"Woah, children!" Faiyuki exclaimed. "Quit bickering, you're giving me more of a headache than I already have!"
"Yeah, why can't you guys just share the kitchen?" I told them.
They stared at me as they comprehended the idea of using the same work space. I guess as vampires they've never had to cook for themselves, and so don't understand basic kitchen rules.
"Look, just get going, and leave us alone." Faiyuki demanded as she shoved the two vampires into the kitchen. Despite the obvious awkwardness, the brothers remained in the kitchen. Now that we were alone, Faiyuki turned to me with desperate look in her eyes and started ranting. "We have got to get out of here! I can't stand being around that guy, he's gonna drive me into insanity! The name, the clothes, the pampering which really doesn't feel like pampering, but more like torture! I can't take it anymore! I'd rather have to deal with Kurama refusing to call me by my first name!"
"Don't worry, the guys'll come and rescue us." I reassured her. "They have Koray and Ayame helping them out, who claim to know where this place is."
"Really?" Faiyuki asked, astonished. "How'd the guys get those two to agree to it?"
"Well, I had Yukina ask them for a little favour..." I smirked.
"Genius." Faiyuki smiled.
Suddenly we heard the crashing of pots and pans, and then we could hear the two vamps yelling at each other. "They seem to be having fun..." I said sarcastically.
"No kidding..." Faiyuki replied.
