.:Chapter Thirty Seven : The Favour:.
Standing within the confines of his own personal laboratory, Reiji was busy proceeding on with his drug research. Holding a particular vial with a lilac liquid inside of it, he shook it slightly making the mysterious substance swish about. Then stilling this action, he held it to the light and made a consideration before saying aloud, "This may hold some promise..."
RATTLE! RATTLE!
His thoughts interrupted, the spectacled young man turned his light red coloured eyes behind himself. As he did so, he saw at the window it was none other than the bat Familiar he had sent to make observations upon Yui and Miya.
Seeing that it had returned, his expression didn't change as he asked aloud, "So there's news is there?"
RATTLE! RATTLE!
The bat itself continued to scratch upon the windows, showing some slight urgency. Reiji knew there was no way the creature could let itself in, so with a sigh. He placed the vial aside into a proper wooden stand and then walking over in a few moments he used both of his hands to open the window. Doing this, the bat then flew into the room as his master closed it's opening after it.
Seeing the bat flutter still in the air before him, as he finished shutting the window. Reiji looking to the creature then asked it, "So? Tell me, what is it you need to report?"
Hearing this question being put to it, the bat then flew up to Reiji and as it did, the spectacled young man opened his gloved hand out to it. Doing this, the small winged creature landed in his palm and as it sat there, it was lifted closer to his ear. With this done, it then began to whisper all it had seen and learnt...
After a few quiet moment's as he received it's intel, Reiji then allowed the creature to fly back into the air as he took his hand back. As he did so, the bat turning around and looking to the spectacled young man, saw that he had a harsh angered light in his eyes. He was not pleased with what he had learnt.
There was then silence in the air, as it lingered for a few moments, Reiji finally spoke with a cold tone to his voice, "So? That's her ploy is it?"
As he said this, the bat made no response to him as it continued to flutter in the air. However Reiji didn't need anymore words from it, instead turning to look at the window. He saw the Waxing Moon hanging high in the sky, with some clouds trying to hide it from sight and as he did this, he decided upon something as he said with a deadly knowingness, "I believe it's finally time for some extermination to be done."

"Haa!" Breathing out, Miya then couldn't help but admit with slight irritation, "Man! I'm tired!"
Hearing her say this, as they began to walk through the gates that led to the Sakamaki mansion. Yui couldn't help but smile as she asked her, "Are you okay, Miya-chan?"
As Yui's question reached her ears, Miya then responded still looking slightly drained, "Yeah, I am... I'm glad it's gonna be the weekend starting tomorrow! I'm gonna use it to get all the sleep I can get my hands on!"
Nodding as she heard this, Yui then replied continuing to reveal her smile, "Yeah, that sounds like a good plan."
With that said, the two girls walked on together and as they chatted on, they got closer and closer to the Sakamaki mansion's entrance doors. Yui herself turning to look to the tall wooden frames, could feel her anxiety building inside of herself again... for she knew the brother's would be terribly angry with her for her defiance. Thinking of them, she couldn't help but lower her head sadly in slight fear and nervousness as she looked on.
Miya herself, walking beside her friend and looking to her for a moment, could see her sad reaction. Becoming quiet herself, she quickly guessed what was making her friend become depressed, she decided on something... reaching her right hand over, she took Yui's one into it.
Feeling this with surprise, Yui turning to Miya became widened eyed.
Seeing her become like this, Miya then told her with a serious light in her eyes, "It'll be okay, Yui-ko... I'm with you."
Hearing these comforting words from her friend, Yui was quiet. However feeling her friend's familiar warmth, her heart raced again with happiness at this act of kindness was being given to her. The blonde haired girl nodded to her friend, with a relieved smile gracing her face.
Seeing her change her expression like this, Miya then smiled herself in silent reply. Then as they proceeded walking on together, holding hands... the heterochromia eyed girl, got herself ready! For she was going to give the Sakamaki's some stern strong words of warning or huge amounts of pain. If they tried anything on her gentle friend!
It was then finally reaching the doors, that Miya went straight up to the doors. Releasing Yui's hand, she opened one of them slightly, looking inside she quickly spied around with her odd coloured eyes to see if there was any trace of the sinister brothers!
However all that met her gaze, was simply the red carpeted stair way entrance, with the golden chandelier shining it's light down from on high. Looking to the sides, she also saw from the other corridors there was no-one there either... with some comfort of relief, she then released a sigh as she turned to her waiting friend and said, "Looks like the coast is clear for ya, Yui-ko."
Hearing this herself, Yui feeling a little relieved too then replied putting a hand to her chest, "That's good..." with that she walked forward and past Miya as she went to the doors herself.
Stepping aside, to allow Yui to go through. The heterochromia eyed girl was silent, however looking to her gentle friend she heard her say to her with a happy smile, "Thank you for today, Miya-chan... I had a wonderful time for my birthday."
Pleased to hear this, Miya nodding then replied brightly, "I should think you did! I only give you the best in life y'know, Yui-ko!"
Laughing as she heard this comment, Yui couldn't argue with that comment. But she truly was really happy at that moment, but she knew she couldn't delay this departure... so she opened her mouth to say-
"So I take it, that you both had a pleasing outing did you?"
Spooked as she heard this all a sudden, Yui quickly jumping back, turned and saw that it was none other than Reiji standing in the doorway!
"Reiji-san!?" Yui cried out, revealing her shock!
"What the hell!?" Miya quickly rushing over and blocking his path to Yui, then demanded as she pointed her accusing finger at him, "When did you-!?"
"Still being as uncouth as ever I see?" Reiji asked her, as he saw her pointing at him accusingly. Then turning to a small silver pocket watch he brought out from the depths of his black jacket, he also had to add in his cool calm tone, "And once again you're both tardy, Tadao-san."
Irritated again as she saw his pompous attitude come out, Miya gritted her teeth as she then retorted straight back, "Oh! Screw you and your damn ethics! It's Friday night! You never set a curfew for Yui-ko, so I don't give a shit about what you have to say!"
Yui looking between both Reiji and Miya, could tell thing's wouldn't go well at this rate if she let it continue like this! So she tried to intervene as she said, "Miya-chan! Please don't speak so rudely like that! You don't have to-!"
Sighing as he heard his prey try to stop her friend, Reiji then decided to say, "Honestly, I don't know why you bother trying to intervene with this woman and her coarse, accusatory tone... but I will for once admit to one thing."
Yui hearing Reiji say this, turned from Miya to him and then asked him confused, "Admit?"
With that hearing her ask, Reiji then responded as he looked to them both calmly, "That today, you are correct upon one fact, Tadao-san."
Becoming puzzled herself as she heard Reiji say this, Miya then asked him with a suspicious look on her face, "What's that?"
Reiji then answered her question, "That I did not set you both a curfew time for you both to return here," with that he bowed to her and Yui respectfully as he finished saying, "I apologise...for my scolding."
Baffled into silence, Miya didn't understand what had got into Reiji in the slightest! For this wasn't like him at all! So she then asked him puzzled, "Huh? What the heck's gotten into you? Have you eaten something weird?"
Yui too not understanding Reiji's actions, then saw him recover his former upright posture and as he did so, she heard him go on to say, "No I have not, I am simply acting with civil grace and politeness, since I have made an error on my part tonight."
Miya hearing Reiji admit to even one error was surprised. However she was still weirded out by this sudden attitude change. But she knew the Sakamaki's were weird enough as they already were, so she decided to just go with the flow for that moment as she replied flatly, "Oh, how nice of you..." then she decided to add one last comment as she eyed him still with suspicion, "So you can be a gentleman when you wanna be, huh?"
Reiji then revealing a grin admitted to her, "I always am." Then as he said this, he decided to also add in his seemingly well humoured mood, "And as a civil gentleman, I would like to invite you inside to enjoy a new blend of tea I have prepared."
Yui seeing the grin that was on Reiji's face became quickly worried. For when he would do it in the past... there was always something sinister he would have planned out! She could sense something was wrong here as she asked him, "A new tea?"
As she asked this question, Reiji then continuing to smile responded, "Correct and I would like you to come and sample it, to give me a review of it's taste."
Miya looking at Reiji was still not getting him, as she asked staring at him oddly, "You're inviting me into the house to do this?"
Reiji then replied simply, his smile still gracing his face, "Obviously!"
"Even though you haven't let me set one foot in this place, in weeks?" Miya then continued on to ask sceptically.
Hearing this, Reiji then continuing to keep his smile replied simply, "Thing's can change."
However Yui herself felt her inner voice of caution call inside of her strongly. She couldn't let this happen! So quickly she began to try and speak up, "Um? I don't think that's a good idea, Reiji-san?"
As his prey spoke up like this, Reiji turned his light red coloured eyes in her direction and as he did, he asked her with his smile dropping, "And why is that?"
Seeing that she was angering him, as his eyes narrowed looking at her. Yui felt herself shiver inside, however she felt she must continue. She had to! So gulping a little to steady herself, she continued on, "Because it's very late now for us... we all need to get our rest before the sun comes up!" Then looking to Miya she added as she looked back to her, "Also, Miya-chan has a long way to get back home on her own! So-!"
"But she still owes me a favour," Reiji then responded, interrupting Yui's pathetic excusing reasons.
Hearing him do this, Miya then looking to him oddly asked, "A favour?"
Seeing that he'd caught her out for a change, Reiji then regaining his smile informed her, "That's correct... it's the one you said you'd do for me, after your mother neglected you long before... you remember that do you not?"
Surprised as she heard this, Miya became quiet. However after a moment, she became more serious herself as she then responded to him, "I do."
Pleased she was able to recall even that one meagre fact, Reiji told her, "Good then..." with that said he corrected his lenses and informed her, "And since you do, I want that favour to be acted upon now." With that removing his hand from his glasses, he asked her folding his arms, "You will do that, won't you?"
Yui hearing this being discussed between both her friend and Reiji, could feel her apprehension intensify even more! For now, it looked like it was beyond her control to stop! She couldn't-!
"If it's something as simple as drinking some tea, sure... I don't have a problem with doing that." Miya replied calmly as she looked to Reiji.
Hearing her say this, Yui felt her terror grow tremendously inside. While Reiji himself though simply grinned all the more at her response with satisfaction, as he did so he informed her, "Good then..." with that he turned around and proceeded to re-enter the mansion. As he did, he told her, "Well, you better come along, lest it get's too cold to suit your palette."
Yui couldn't believe it! This was really going to happen! Miya was-!
However the heterochromia eyed girl then retorted as she climbed the stone steps, "Whatever! You could just re-heat the water! It wouldn't taste any different."
Hearing her say this as she started to go past her, Yui though decided she had to act! So quickly grabbing her friend's hand she told her, "Miya-chan! Please don't do this!"
Perplexed as she suddenly felt her friend grab her, Miya then asked looking to her, "Yui-ko?"
The desperate blonde haired girl then told her, "There's something wrong about this! I can't let you go alone with, Reiji-san!"
As she said this, Miya quiet then could see the anxiety her friend was experiencing, so she decided to admit to her with a serious air still gracing about her, "I know that."
Shocked as she heard this, Yui then asked her, "You know?"
With a single nod, Miya then replied, "Yeah," with that looking to Reiji who had already started to climb up the stairs, she said as her odd coloured eyes narrowed suspiciously, "That four eyes is acting way too creepily nice... I can tell he's up to something."
Yui hearing this was quiet with puzzlement. For if her friend could sense there was something wrong. Then why? Why was she going along with this?
"But because I owe him a favour, a tradition of the Tadao family is to follow through with all pledges or favours... as long as they don't involve killing anyone," Miya told her friend as she looked back to her with a serious light in her eyes.
As this was said, it all then made sense! Her friend's family's old moral code. Yui was made silent, for she realised that her friend wasn't doing this because she wanted to, it was because she had an obligation to.
Miya herself seeing the dumbstruck state she'd left her friend in, then decided to try and re-assure her as she said, "Besides, it should be fine if it's only some tea..." then looking to Reiji as he continued to climb up the stairs, "And that four eyed bastard is a push over for me anyway." Then looking back to Yui she finished saying with a small smile, "So don't worry Yui-ko, I'll be okay."
As Miya said this, Yui was quiet. For though her friend had her tremendous strength on her side, she still felt inside a great sense of unease... there was still something terribly wrong that could happen! So holding Miya's hand a little more tightly, she informed her, "I'm not going to let you go on your own though! I'm going with you... to make sure you'll be alright!"
Seeing Yui's gentle caring nature come out for her once again, Miya was quiet. However, she was glad inside and so she nodded telling her, "Okay, thanks Yui-ko... I appreciate it."
Revealing a small smile of her own then, Yui felt better to be able to do at least that much. But before she could respond-
"I don't appreciate being made to wait."
With those irritated words heard, Yui and Miya turned to see Reiji standing on the red carpeted stairway with his arms folded. It was clear he was annoyed as he gazed down at them both saying, "I would like you to hurry up! Lest my opinion of you deteriorates even more, Tadao-san." With that the strict gentleman continued to walk up the stairs again.
Miya hearing this comment herself became annoyed instantly too and so she retorted under her breath, "As if that's ever gonna improve!" With that said, she then finally detached her hand from Yui's with a sigh and walked forwards. As she did so, Yui then quickly proceeded to follow on after her and together the two of them went and entered the upper levels of the Sakamaki mansion, to taste Reiji's new warm beverage.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sitting side by side upon a couple of wooden chair's that had been prepared for them. Both Yui and Miya were inside the confine's of Reiji's personal laboratory. With a small tea table before them both, covered with a lacy white table cloth with a few silver spoons laid down on it, along with a simple blue bowl with sugar inside it which was in the centre of it's surface. There were also a few porcelain white teacups dotted about, which were waiting to be sipped from.
Both of the girls were quiet as they watched Reiji in another part of the room continue to tend to the tea that he was brewing. As he was doing this, Yui couldn't tell entirely what he was doing from the obstructed view, however she was still worried... for this couldn't possibly be just a simple tea tasting session. For thinking of how he'd been acting again the worst thing it could possibly be, would be-?
"Hey, Yui-ko?"
Hearing this sudden whisper, Yui turned startled and saw that Miya was whispering to her. As she was, she heard her ask with curiosity clearly nagging her, "What do you think that four eyed creep is plotting? Do you think he's concocting a poisonous prank or something?"
As this question was put to her, Yui was then surprised that Miya had nearly come up with the conclusion she was thinking of! She then quickly went to respond, "Well Reiji-san does-"
"I would never make such a despicable potion!"
Immediately shocked, Yui and Miya quickly separating from each other turned to look hurriedly in Reiji's direction. There they saw that the young man was walking over to them with a silver tray in his hands, upon it was a warm white teapot and a small plate that held a few biscuits of some kind, along with a small white jug that contained some milk.
Then looking at Reiji himself, it was clear that he was irritated by his narrowed light red coloured eyes as he gazed at them. Then as he proceeded on and sat himself down in his own red armchair, placing the tea and confections upon the tea table, he told them both, "I do not appreciate being whispered about, especially when I am present in the very same room as you both."
Expecting as much from him, Yui and Miya didn't say a word. As they felt very awkward about this situation. However the heterochromia eyed girl after a moment became bitterly displeased as she looked on with annoyance, while her blonde haired friend had a worried expression upon her own face as she looked to Reiji and heard him ask, "Were either of you not taught to not whisper within the presence of your own host?"
Yui hearing him say this, then decided to speak first so thing's didn't go down hill swiftly, "I, I'm sorry Reiji-san... we're not trying to be rude to you."
As these words were said, it was clear that Reiji was not entirely appeased. However he decided to accept it for now, so he replied, "Well if you are both not trying to be, I would suggest for future reference you make a better effort of doing so... otherwise it will only serve to perturb me more."
Miya having been silent up to this point then retorted to him annoyed, "As if there's anything that doesn't piss you off!" With that folding her arms and sitting back against her chair, she couldn't help but add, "There's never been a time when I've seen you even minutely relaxed or happy... I bet there's nothing that pleases you on this earth is there?"
Hearing her say these rude comments, Reiji looking to her replied casually, "That is one thing I will have to say you're wrong about." Then quietly he reached his hand over and took a white tea cup into his hands. As he did so, he then poured some of the contents within the warm teapot into it, then stirring some milk into it with a silver spoon he informed her, "A warm and rich favoured tea such as this, brings me a happiness and peace that an uncouth animal such as you could never know of..." with that he sipped it contentedly.
Annoyed at him again for comparing her to an animal, Miya looked at him further displeased. While Yui herself looking to her friend was still worried, for though she didn't like what Reiji had said either, deliberately stoking Miya's anger. She couldn't help but wish that her friend wouldn't become unnerved so easily.
The heterochromia eyed girl looking to Reiji decided to ask him with her displeased look still gracing her face, "Are you saying that I have no sense of taste?"
Hearing her ask this question, Reiji then responded, "On the contrary," with that said with a somewhat arrogant smile appearing on his face, he told her further, "I am simply saying that you are inexperienced, but if you really think you can better yourself..." with that he poured the soured orange haired girl a cup and told her offering it up in her direction, "Then please, feel free to enlighten yourself with a sip of my new creation."
Miya herself annoyed at him patronising her then replied straight back, "Fine I will then!" With that she reached her hand forwards to take the offered cup.
Seeing the sinister light that danced in Reiji's eyes as Miya reached forwards, Yui was worried instantly! She had to do something! So quickly she reached her own hand over and said, "No! Let me try it first!"
Surprised by her sudden action as she snatched the cup away, Miya looking to her asked, "Yui-ko! What're you-!?"
But it was too late for her to go on, for then Yui quickly lifted the tea cup to her trembling lips and drank it, gulping it down hard. Squeezing her eyes shut, she prepared herself for the terrible poisonous sensation she was sure that was to come!
…
However after a few tense, nerve wracking moments, Yui opening her pink eyes then startled realised, "There's... nothing?"
Perplexed by her actions and now her choice of words, Miya then asked her confused, "Huh? Nothing? What do you mean? Are you saying there's no flavour in it?"
Hearing her say this, Reiji's eyes narrowed as he became obviously displeased remarking, "That would be entirely impossible." Then looking to Yui, he asked her coldly, "But yes, I must ask you Yui, define what you mean by saying that specific word, nothing?"
Finally overcoming her sense of surprise, Yui looking back was quickly becoming nervous again as she saw Reiji's strict angered eyes were now fixed on her. Looking to him, she struggled with what words to say and finally after some thinking she thought of something plausible to say, "Um, well? What I meant was... was that there was nothing unpleasant about it... there was nothing bad at all, it's entirely delicious."
As she said this, Miya becoming curious had to ask her thinking that was a bit strange to say, "Why would there be something unpleasant or bad about the tea?" Then as she asked this question, she quickly thought of what the answer might be as she continued on to ask with realisation, "Are you saying he's put's weird stuff in it or something in the past?"
Yui hearing this froze! For if she continued now, she could warn her friend properly! But at the same time Reiji might-?
"So what if I do?"
Quickly turning as she heard his voice say this, Yui stared at him in shock as Miya looked to him perplexed. However acting casually and calmly, Reiji continued on, "It's only natural, when you experiment with new flavours that you add or blend different ingredients together that bring about different effects... you can't expect all trials like this to be successful, do you?"
Silent as he said this, Miya staring at him thought to herself quietly about what he had said... but after a moment she sat back in her chair again. Then calmly she replied, "I guess not?"
Yui herself seeing that thing's had become seemingly calm between them both, she began to feel more relaxed. However once again she missed another good opportunity to say anything, or to warn her friend... so she felt badly conflicted inside.
Miya herself feeling this silence fill the air, then looking to her friend saw the troubled look that was on her face, as she looked down to the floor. As she saw it, she felt concerned for her, so she decided to ask, "Yui-ko?"
At the sound of her voice, the blonde haired girl turned her pink eyes back in Miya's direction. As she did so, she saw the worried look that was in her own odd coloured eyes, as she did so she heard her say, "Was the tea really okay?"
Hearing her say this, Yui was quiet for a moment and didn't say anything as she looked on at her. However looking back to Reiji briefly who gazed back to her, she saw that his expression hadn't changed. He was silent and cold, with a rather impatient look on his face... she couldn't tell now if he really was planning something. Or perhaps she had just imagined it?
"Yui-ko?"
Distracted out of her troubled thoughts again, Yui then saw that Miya's eyes were still on her. Then realising she was acting strangely, she answered her friend finally trying to remain calm, "Um... yes, the tea tasted fine, Miya-chan... there was nothing wrong with it."
Feeling uncertain from her response, Miya then decided to ask her again, "Are you sure?"
To which the blonde haired girl then nodded simply in response. Seeing this, Miya replied, "Okay, if you're sure..." with that she picked up a new cup that had the same tea quickly poured into it. With that done she took a few gentle sips from it herself.
Seeing her do this, both Yui and Reiji were quiet. However after lowering her cup, Miya finishing her sips then surprised herself couldn't help but admit, "Wow? It really does have a good taste!"
Looking at his guest as she made this compliment, Reiji then with a smirk on his face remarked, "Of course... I only live to make the best there is." Then looking to Miya he couldn't help but add, "I'm just pleased to see that you have the intellectual ability to recognise that simple fact."
Becoming soured instantly again from his arrogant attitude, Miya then replied dryly, "Yeah, yeah... whatever!" With that she continued to drink more of her own tea again.
Seeing this interaction, Yui after a moment couldn't help but smile awkwardly. However taking her own tea cup up again into her hands, she continued to drink more of the delicious substance. For feeling more relaxed about the situation now as the group of them proceeded to engage in calm conversation about this and that, she wondered to herself. What really was there to be concerned about?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Ohh..." feeling rather heated in her cheeks, Yui couldn't help but sigh aloud. It had been about an hour or more later since they'd begun drinking the tea together and during the course of the evening, both of the girls had a lot of the beverage along with Reiji himself.
Hearing her do this action, as she put her own teacup back down onto the table. Miya then looking to her, asked curious, "Yui-ko? Are you doing okay?"
As she heard the question being asked to her, Yui turning her pink slightly watery eyes in Miya's direction, answered, "I... I feel a little warm inside...it's getting hot."
Cocking her head to the side as she heard this comment, Miya asked puzzled, "Hot?" Then as the heterochromia eyed girl looked at her friend, she studied her and realised, "...You do look a bit red in the face." With that she reached her right hand over and placed it on her forehead.
Feeling her friend's pleasant warm palm upon her forehead, the pink eyed girl was feeling terribly drowsy. So she wasn't able to react to this as she normally would, so all she could do was try and hold herself steady as she swayed a little and heard Miya say, "Whoa! You're practically piping hot! You're steaming!"
Reiji seeing this check being done, then lowered his own tea cup onto his saucer. Then as he did this, placing both item's back onto the table he decided to comment, "If she is, I would suggest she gets something to cool herself down, I don't wish to deal with haphazardly collapsed bodies in my personal space."
Annoyed as she heard this comment, Miya looking to Reiji then uttered sarcastically to him, "Oh aren't you the benevolent caregiver here!" Then quickly turning her attentions back to Yui, she told her, "C'mon Yui-ko! We better get you some water to cool you down."
Hearing her suggestion, through the mistiness that was clouding her mind. Yui then made a small shaky nod as she replied, "Yeah... yeah, okay... Miya-chan." Saying that the blonde haired girl, unsteadily got up and with that, Miya began to walk her towards the door to the laboratory with a hand on her shoulders.
Reaching for the knob, Miya turned and opened the door. With that done, she told her, "Okay Yui-ko, you go on through."
Nodding quietly again, the blonde haired girl went to do just through the opened way she staggered slightly, still struggling to keep her balance. Then as she did so, she began to slowly but surely make her way down the corridor.
Seeing her leave unsteadily on her feet like that, made Miya even more worried for her. She knew one thing then, "There's no way she can go on her own like that!" With that she went to walk through the door. But before she even lifted a single foot out of the room-!
GRAB!
"Huh!?"
Suddenly she was pulled back into the laboratory and as she was the door was quickly slammed shut in front of her!
Spinning around fast, as she was pulled back into the room and feeling a single gloved hand holding onto her right hand tightly. Stopping her in her tracks, she demanded, "Hey! What the hell do you think you're-!"
"I have not given you permission to leave!" It was then, that the startled heterochromia eyed girl saw that it was none other than Reiji, holding on to her tightly with a commanding aura emanating all around him.
Looking to him, Miya could see there was a harsh strict expression on his face as he looked down to her. Perplexed with widened eyes as she saw this, she couldn't understand what had come over him! So she asked him appalled, "What do you mean you haven't given me permission!? I don't need to have that! I gotta help out Yui-ko! She's-!"
"She is of no concern here!" Then looking to his obstructive guest, he informed her further with his fierce cold light red coloured eyes, "However at this moment, your failure to fulfil your favour to me is."
Baffled further as she heard this, Miya then told him outraged, "What are you babbling about?! I've already done that stupid favour for you! I've had your damn tea so I don't owe you shit! You-!"
"That was not the favour I wanted fulfilled," Reiji informed her, interrupting her words.
Confused as she heard this, Miya then uttered, "Huh? It isn't?"
"No it's not..." With that Reiji released her for a moment and brought out a single small blue glass bottle from his black jacket pocket. With that as he brought it forth, he displayed it to Miya and informed her, "The tea was simply a gentle invitation, so that I may ask you to sample this medicine I've created."
"Medicine?" Miya asked him. Then silent as his words settled into her mind, she couldn't help but ask, "What kind of medicine? What's it supposed to do?"
Expecting such a question, Reiji then informed her, "That is what I want to have tested on you... you will comply with this favour, won't you?" He asked her with a sinister smile.
Seeing him smirk like this at her, Miya didn't like this in the slightest! So she retorted straight back, "No way in hell!" With that glaring at him, she added, "I'm not drinking that stuff! Especially if I don't know what's in it, or what it does! What do you take me for? An idiot!?"
Reiji made no reply to this comment, however his smile quickly faded from his features. As it did, Miya then not wanting to spend another irritating moment in his presence went to walk past him to get to the door and as she did so, she told him looking back, "I've already fulfilled what I owed you with that tea! I don't accept anything that's proffered after the fact!" Then looking back to him as she stood in front of the door once more, she added with a narrowing gaze of her own, "If you want to have someone be your damn guinea pig, then get someone else to do it!"
Hearing her say this, Reiji then couldn't help but say as he brought the bottle up and removed the diamond shaped blue stopper from it's top, "That is most unfortunate."
Miya though ignoring him had her hand placed upon the knob, then as she began twisting it to make it open, she heard the spectacled young man say, "For you no longer have a choice!"
GRAB!
"AGH!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
GULP, GULP, GULP
Within the confines of the kitchen, Yui had poured herself a tall glass of water and had drank it's cool soothing contents. As she did so, she sighed after a little bit and settled upon one of the wooden chair's in the room. Doing this she could still feel a great deal of heat rising within her body. As she did so, she was finding it difficult to concentrate on her thoughts, but then it occurred to her as she looked around herself, "Miya-chan?"
For looking around herself, there was no trace of her friend anywhere within the room. Seeing this, as she dazedly looked around lowering her arms onto the wooden surface, Yui couldn't help but ask as she rested her head upon her outstretched limbs, "Where are you?"
However to her question there came no response. Seeing this, she then couldn't help but ask, " I wonder where? Where she could have...?" but then closing her eyes, her thoughts were becoming too cloudy to concentrate on anymore and she felt herself begin to drift dreamily away...

"AGH!"
Falling hard onto the wooden floor, Miya felt her back ache horribly as she demanded mad, "What the hell do you think you're-!"
However she was given no time to protest, for quickly pinning her down to the floor. Reiji was lying on top of her, as he straddled her lower abdomen with his legs stopping her from moving! As he did this, with a cold angry glare, he informed her brimming with distaste and rage, "Obstinate! Stubborn! And absolutely arrogant to the point of pure irritation! That's all I am made to suffer with, when it comes to you doesn't it!?"
Perplexed as she saw this angry piercing glare in his eyes, it almost chilled Miya inside! However, feeling her own fire of rage burn brightly she retorted straight back, "Who's fault do you think that is!?" With that said, she started to try and make him release her as she went to smack him saying, "Now get the fuck off me!"
SMACK!
CLATTER!
Striking him hard in the face, in seconds the spectacles upon the enraged vampire were quickly sent flying into the distance! Feeling her painful mark burn onto his right cheek, Reiji was even more enraged and so uttered hatefully, "Unforgivable!"
Seeing Reiji for the first time without his glasses, Miya quickly saw something that she never had before. Distracted by it momentarily, her striking hand was pinned down and then her other free one! "Agh!" Feeling them being stopped as they were held above her head by one of Reiji's free arm, she turned back to look at him cringing from his strength, however as she looked up at him. She saw in his light red coloured eyes, a deadly light shine and glow from behind them as her shocked expression was reflected within them. It made her shake and tremble inside from the rage they exhibited... it was inhuman!
Reiji quickly moving though with swift angered precision, pushed his other hand that held the blue medicine bottle straight into her aghast opened mouth!
Feeling him do this as she felt something cool and bitter flow onto her tongue, Miya then saw hurriedly what he was trying to do! So moving fast, she turned her head to her right side and spat out the foreign concoction! Then with a fierce look of utter defiance on her face, she glared back up to him with her odd coloured eyes.
Outraged and displeased to see her do this, Reiji feeling intense burning contempt for this girl, then uttered with irritation, "There's no other choice is there?" With that he lifted the blue bottle up to his own mouth and poured all it's remaining contents into his own mouth.
Seeing him do this with shock, Miya then demanded, "Hey! What're you-!?"
Mmph!
Suddenly though she wasn't given another second to think. For then Reiji had moved his face down and swiftly sealed her lips with his own! Widening her odd coloured eyes as she felt his, Miya was paralysed with shock and then quickly unable to close her mouth or move her head anywhere as Reiji held her head in place with his now free hand. Her lips locked opened tightly with his... she felt the cool bitter medicine spill forth onto her tongue, then quickly the forbidding substance entered her throat as she reluctantly gulped it down...

"Fu, fu, fu!"
Breathing in and out hard, Yui struggling could feel her consciousness begin to stir awake. As it was, she couldn't help but ask, "What is...?"
"Bitch-chan? Are you making such a tempting expression on purpose?"
As this voice asked her this question, Yui then couldn't help but ask as her vision was still slightly blurred, "Who is-?"
"Well, don't mind me if I just take a little sample for myself!"
"Mmm...?" Feeling a soft sensation upon her lips, Yui couldn't understand what was going on. But then as this sensation settled onto her, she felt something warm and soft enter her mouth and as it did so dancing gently upon her tongue, quickly her thoughts snapped back into urgent focus!
Becoming widened eyed, she saw someone lift themselves up and away form her mouth and lips. Startled she then gasped as she uttered alarmed, "Laito..kun?!"
Seeing the look of shock on her face, the fedora hatted young man couldn't help but be pleased. For then licking his lips that had a sweet strand still leaking from a corner, he told her, "Oh? You finished being sleepy beauty already, Bitch-chan? I was hoping you'd stay dormant a little longer... so I could remove some more!"
Puzzled as she heard this, Yui then repeated, "Remove?" Then looking down at herself, she saw that she was now lying upon the top of the kitchen table and her black school jacket she'd once been wearing had been taken off and was discarded to the side of the kitchen. She then also saw that her shirt had been unbuttoned and her white ribbon along with her red one had already been taken off, revealing some part of her chest and a small part of her blue bra!
In horror she realised what was going on as Laito was holding her down with his body as he lay upon her! Quickly she moved to try and make him get off of her, she cried out, "Let go of me! Laito-kun!"
However seeing her begin to struggle and fight against him, Laito smirked some more as he told her, "Oh! You know doing this, you're just getting the opposite effect. Bitch-chan!" With that he started to undo more of her buttons as she continued to thrash and fight against him weakly. As she did this, he also added, "You're just making me even more thirsty with desire!"
With those words said, as Yui moved her neck hurriedly to the side as she fought on. In seconds, Laito moved and bit straight into her right side! In seconds she gasped out loudly as the sadistic and malicious vampire began to drink deeply from his prey...

Moving himself off of the now still girl, Reiji then finally standing upright brought out a tissue he had on hand from his pocket. Wiping his mouth slowly and thoroughly, he couldn't help but state, "Disgusting... I'll have to cleanse myself properly later."
Meanwhile, Miya herself staggering to get up onto her feet. Looked to Reiji with outrage, however at the same time she was gasping as she struggled to say, looking to him, "You! What the hell!? What have... what have you done to me!?" Then with this demand done, she collapsed onto her legs powerlessly with pain in her limbs.
Seeing her speak to him, with continued defiance. Didn't amuse Reiji in the slightest, however seeing that he'd got a part of the deed done of what he wanted to, he informed her as he put the tissue aside upon a tabletop, "I have given you a strong type of Anaesthetic that I have personally designed." With that moving to another side of the room, he told her further with his back turned as he picked up his discarded spectacles, "I was hoping that the small amount I slipped into the tea before would be enough to incapacitate you... however once again, just like vermin you're persistent to no end."
Hearing what he was saying, Miya though was struggling to keep a track of everything. Then gasping hard she said mad, "I'm not a... I'm not-!" However she couldn't continue, so she went to try and move towards the direction of the tea table along with the wooden chairs.
Making it there, after pulling herself forwards. She tried to pull on a part of the table to help lever her back up properly. But as she did so, her strong grip caused the cloth and everything on it to fall and topple forwards onto the floor!
CRASH!
Hearing the tableware and cups smash behind him, Reiji in another section of the room turned to see Miya's struggling, writhing form on the floor. Quiet, he watched her begin to try and sit herself up. As she did so, she then uttered painfully with a gasp, "Ah! I, I! I'm burning up! I-!" But she couldn't continue on, for the Anaesthetic was overwhelming her from deep within.
Looking at her as she did this, Reiji then finally picking up another item he'd been searching for. Told her with a cold look in his eyes, "You really are a disgrace..." with that he started to walk back in her direction.
Miya herself, lying on the floor was fighting hard against the medicine that had been forced into her system. However it was proving to be a losing battle, as she tried to get herself back to a better upstanding position as she rolled over. Her hand landed upon something-!
"Agh!"
In seconds, she retracted her limb and the pain spread quickly! She saw with one opened eye as the other winced closed, that she'd cut her hand and palm upon a sharp shard from one of the remain's of the tea cups, in seconds the jagged cut line began to bleed out.
Seeing this, Reiji paid no heed to her suffering. Instead standing over her, he told her with a sinister intention in his eyes, "Just like an animal, injuring itself over something so trivial..." then as he saw her blood begin to drip in and mix with the leaked tea that was on the floor, he couldn't help but add, "You really do make a mess no matter where you go, don't you?" Then as he said this, he commanded her, "Now get up."
Miya hearing his mocking commanding words, turned herself over again grudgingly. As she did so, she cringed as she breathed in and out hard. Trying to keep a grasp of the nightmarish reality she was now trapped within. But still she was unable to say anything as she struggled to simply just breathe as the hellish heat inside of her continued to surge.
Looking at her weakened form like this, Reiji then closing his eyes continued on to say, "It seems as though you can't even respond to a simple command anymore can you?" With that said, he extended forth the item he'd brought with him and unsheathed it.
There in the light, as she opened her eyes again Miya then saw in the spectacled young man's hands was a long silver bladed sword. Seeing it shine in the light with a deadly glint, the heterochromia eyed girl shivered at the sight of it with horror! But she was unable to do anything else as she gasped again loudly against the painful effects of the burning impotent inducing medicine.
As she did this, Reiji then informed the helpless girl that lay before him, "If that is the case..." with that standing over her, he moved the blade close to her unguarded heavy breathing chest and said coldly with a knowing finality, "Then I will have to put a useless and disobedient animal like you, out of your misery!"
