Chapter 23
-Saturday|| 5:45AM-
Yuki sighed tiredly, leaning on the headboard as she sat on the mattress to look around the room that she used to stay in before looking down at her phone once she receives a text back from the idol in response to the text, she had sent him after she had woken up. She groans turning the screen off after reading his response and close her eyes momentarily as she runs a hand through her hair before standing and light stretching. She looks around once again and sees not much has changed except the journals and books on her desk were opened and some were thrown on the floor as if whoever had been inside her room was trying to find information but halfway gave up and to conclude her observations she opened her wardrobe to look through the clothes she had left behind which was clothes she has either worn once or twice and not worn at all with a sigh she closed the wardrobe after taking what she was going to wear and made her way towards the bathroom connected to the room. Once she was done taking a quick shower and dressing up, she went back to bed about to sit down when she heard a slight knock outside the door, and with a frown, she got out of bed and stretch as the knocking resume a tad bit louder.
She passes her fingers through her damp hair as she made her way to the door to open up to see Shu standing outside. "You're finally up."
"Indeed," Yuki said looking away with a smile hiding how uncomfortable she felt at the awkwardness but that smile faded brows furrowing and now she frowns as she now noticed that she was no longer close with him as she used to be. He had been starring at her now unbandaged hands once had look back at him clearing her throat and moving her hands behind her did she get his attention.
"Ayato asks so 'nicely' for me and Kou to come so if any of you have anything to say now's the time, I'd like to leave as quick as possible."
"You and Kou seem close."
"Demanding to know where I had been doesn't equate to me and him being close."
"He was carrying you." Yuki rolled her eyes.
"I was walking too slow for his taste so he decided to carry me and now I have to give to him something in return for his 'generosity' of carrying me. "
"Ilea-" He didn't even have the chance to finish saying her name as he was stopped by her now holding her hand up, palm facing him in a sign for him to stop, Shu didn't know if he should be surprised at the tone of her voice and how she said his name or the deep scar on the palm of her hand.
"I'll stop you right there, Sakamaki Shu, and let me clarify that if you're going to interrogate me, you're wasting both of our time as I don't have to tell you anything." Yuki's glare vanished as her expression turns into anguish. "As I shouldn't have said that time so I won't this time."
"Last time you said more than you should of."
"Then it would be the same this time... I'm sorry, I would give you an explanation as to why I told you without making it sound as if I'm justifying myself—and I don't want that." Yuki smiles briefly at him before dropping it as she sighed looking back into the room before looking back at the narrowed eye Shu. "In conclusion, I am going home. I don't want to intrude any longer where I am not welcomed."

-Romania|| 8:38AM-
Adela look around the room that had been turned into a makeshift laboratory with furrow brows she looks over the table with papers scattered all over it with notes before looking up at Anna who had walked into the room a frown etched on her lips as her gaze seem to be on the chair with chains that had been used on Yuki before walking to the joint room to her left before coming out with disgust on her usually expressionless face holding a piece of paper for Adela to take.
Adela walk towards her sister and took the paper and read it and furrowing her brows as Anna now walks towards the table Adela had previously been standing by.
"Hello." Both sisters look up towards the new voice near the door to see Yuki smiling at them before entering and look around no longer smiling.
"You shouldn't be here."
"It's alright, this isn't the first time I've been in here." She said as her bandaged hand took the paper from her mother.
Adela watches as Anna left before turning to look at her frowning daughter who still stares at the piece of paper before she took it away smiling after getting her attention. "Ready?"
Yuki nodded as she followed behind her mother.
-9:12 AM-
"They've healed and scarred well..." Adela noted as she checked all of Yuki's former wounds now finally scarring and remaining shut yet the goddess frown.
"What's that expression for?"
"It's nothing, let me give you your shirt back." Yuki raises a brow knowing it to be a lie and as Adela presented her with the shirt, she didn't take. "I said it's no-"
"I'm sorry to cut you off but it is something. So please, tell me."
"It's just the thought of how so much poison might have killed you if it wasn't for you having retained a little magic." Adela sighed as her expression became one with worried. "Then you used that magic to restore what I was made to do and all of a sudden a week later after you left Persefarius comes and says you were dying."
Yuki looks away brows knitted together as she remembers parts of that day when Ritsu and Kou had found her curl up on the floor bleeding out. Adela watched as her daughter close her eyes tightly before opening them and taking back her shirt and put it back on.
"I'm glad your body is freed from the poison but you still have to be careful in not exerting yourself too much." Olympia startles both of them as they had been oblivious to her presence.
Adela's brows knitted together as she watches Yuki acting as if she was drying up a tear before placing her hands on her chest as she smiles at Olympia who raises a brow and rolled her eyes so
before the brunette opens her mouth she spoke. "When you're done come to the library, I need to speak privately with you, Ileana."
"Wait, I'll go with you now, we were done already."
"Hurry then."
-9:17 AM-
Yuki look around the library then look at Olympia who picked a random book and started gently flipping through the pages and once she was on the page, she wanted it to be on she turns around and handed the brunette the book. "Read to me what it says."
"Okay." The brunette looks at the page about to start reading but that wasn't possible as there were no words so with brows knitted; she looks back at the awaiting goddess. "I can't the page is blank."
Olympia took the book back and read the first two sentences before placing it under her arm and picking up another book and gave it to the brunette to try and read. "Try any page from this book."
Doing as told the brunette opens the book to a random page and started reading until Olympia stopped her. "It's not a storybook, Ileana."
"The page is blank."
"When did you say it started happening?"
"it was not long after Anna turned back time."
"You did say you try a reverse spell and it worked albeit just for a bit."
"Do you have an idea why those pages are blank or why are you asking questions from our last conversation?"
"I would have assumed Anna or your father put a spell but Anna wanted you to read that journal and your father already seem to have other plans which eliminate them."
"Then?"
"You."
Yuki pointed at herself a brow raise.
"That cannot be an option. Why would I deliberately do that to myself and most importantly how?"
"Why? To stop yourself from doing something you'll later regret if it doesn't go as planned." Yuki roll her eyes and sighed in defeat as that was a good reason why she would sabotage herself. "How? Repression."
Olympia walks closer to Yuki and gently poke the brunette on her cheek after Yuki had become quiet. The goddess chuckle as Yuki finally smacks her hand away before clearing her throat before speaking. "I'll leave you to process and sort out your thoughts."
-10:02AM-
"Why are you not with the family?" Marcel ask the brunette who he had found on the library's second-level resting. "The library is no place to sleep there are various rooms for that purpose."
"Actually, you can make anywhere a place to sleep," The brunette said matter-of-factly as she still didn't move nor open her eyes, remaining sat and comfortably leaning on the ladder meant to be used to reach books up high yet she had found another use, " and I'm not that much of a masochist to be on the same room surrounded by such an awkward atmosphere."
Marcel chuckles which made the brunette finally opens her eyes and turn to look up towards him who had lean back on the wooden railing. "Just give it a try."
"Fine." Yuki sighed getting ready to get up stopping briefly as Marcel offer her a hand which she took and thank him. "You're not coming?"
"I'll be there in a bit. Go ahead."
"Okay."
Yuki walks towards the sound of talking coming from the lounging room and peeks inside briefly as she heard Laura laugh and contemplated if she should go in but frown and walk away with the thought of not wanting to ruin the mood. Instead, deciding to go outside.
Now, finally, outside she looks around the surrounding garden before starting to walk around said garden until she walks around towards the back of the castle to walk near the marble railing. Yuki stopped to lean on it and watch the calm ocean taking a deep breath and briefly close her eyes before going back, she had gotten back to where she had started and was about to go back inside until her gaze landed on the hooded figure just outside the castle gates crossing the bridge to go into the forest.
-12:17 PM-
Yuki's stupid curiosity got the better of her and follow after the hooded person but now she had been walking for so long and lost sight of them. That is until she felt air rush past her right ear, stunned she steps to the side and look back to see a dagger embedded on the unfortunate tree trunk before looking towards the direction it came to see Adela taking her hood off.
"Ileana?" Adela's vexed expression. "don't sneak up on people I almost hurt you."
Adela's annoyance dissipated as the stunned one of her daughters morphed into a mix of annoyance and anger and she started to complain how she should be careful and how she was only taking a walk and that she was the one who sneaked up on her. she couldn't help as she throws her head back in laughter.
"This isn't funny."
"I'm sorry and you're right," Adela said wiping a tear from the corner of her eye as she walks pass Yuki and pull the dagger out of the tree trunk then walk off expecting for her daughter to follow yet didn't wait for her to do so.
The young brunette exhales the breath she was holding and walks fast to catch up to her mother and once she did, they both walk side by side with no words exchanged. Adela turns her head to look at Yuki who had sighed and she saw she had furrow brows. "Is something the matter?"
"My intention was not to sneak up on you, I was just curious when I saw a hooded figure."
"That's dangerous and stupid."
"I know, but I think it has been established that I make impulsive and stupid decisions."
"Untrue." Yuki stops walking follow by Adela after she had pulled on her cloak, once grey eyes were set on her.
"I was impulsive with that vial of blood; I could have done some research or ask for help as another option instead of drinking it." Yuki took a deep breath before continuing. "I then started to ally myself with the Founders and then I gave up and decided to use Lucia's control powers to order them to kill each other before I set them on fire, maybe by doing so, I wouldn't have to try and follow the Founders orders. Maybe like that, no one would be a puppet to Karlheinz, but I forgot about my aunt's powers."
"That Anna's powers work because there's a host?"
"Yes."
-2:17 PM-
Yuki and Adela had ended up going back and ended up where Yuki had been earlier by the marble railing: Yuki looking towards the ocean and Adela sat leaning back on the railing with a book in hand. Few minutes of this Adela got up and took off her croak only to cover Yuki who had been hugging herself and ended up startling her, wide golden eyes stare at Adela.
"Sorry, I forgot."
"Mom, it's okay," Yuki reassures her mother and looking down as she pulls the cloak closer to herself before looking back at Adela with a smile, "thank you."
Adela smiles back about to raise her hand and to pat her daughter's head but stop herself and look away, Yuki notice as her mother's expression saddened and how she slightly raised her hand but instead let it drop back on her side. The young brunette looks away as she tried to sort through her thoughts and feelings that seem rampantly tangled into a complicated mess, a sigh caught her attention back to see her mother about to sit down to resume reading her book. Yuki took hold of her hand and smile as she saw confuse grey eyes stare at her.
"It's okay," She reiterates as she raises her other hand palm towards her mother to put her other hand, and once, she did, Yuki squeezes hers gently, "sorry."
"Why are you apologizing?"
"Actually," Yuki pause as she hums in thought to what she was going to say, Adela tilted her head in curiosity, "it's just it surprises me you only want to pat my head or only make small gestures which are great and I am grateful in your cautious approaches."
Yuki finally let go of her hands unhurried and with one move a strand of hair behind her ear as she bit her lip nervously before continuing, "and maybe a part of it has to do with my jumpiness and the other part is most definitely because of my aloofness towards you. But the truth is I wouldn't mind a hug coming from you."
Adela watched as Yuki grab onto the cloak and pull it tightly to cover herself as she felt the cold wind blow harshly against her. "Umm, I never did apologize for how I treated you when you came to treat me, it just wasn't fair how I stayed angry at you but didn't remain angry at Perse or Kou."
"You were forced to get treated by them so it was understandable for you to be angry."
"Please, don't justify it, you were saving me and I was ungrateful so I am apologizing now: I am so sorry." Adela smile as she opens her arms, inviting her daughter into a hug and when Yuki move close and hug back. Grey eyes close behind lids as the goddess smile wider as Yuki thank her.

-Monday-
"Yuki-chan, did something happen?" Yui asks walking towards Yuki once she saw her walk out of the office with the headmaster who once he was done talking with the brunette went back into the office. Yuki smiles and shook her head and smile as Yui still seem concerned.
"He wants to talk with whoever is the one that is in charge of looking out for me."
"But your brothers..." Yui trail off as Yuki chuckle at her concern.
"Don't worry, I'll figure it out."
The brunette smiled at Yui as Ayato suddenly appear behind the blonde and so Yuki excuse herself and walk away.
Later that night Yui found Yuki borrowing a phone from Ruki who turn at the feeling of staring then look back at Yuki and said something to her who turns to look at Yui with a smile and wave. That's when the blonde notice Yuki wore fingerless gloves instead of the bandages she had on Friday.
Ruki and Yuki watch as Yui walk towards them but then Reiji near them and had signaled Yui to follow him. Yuki sighed and instead made the call she was going to make and once done gave the phone back to Ruki.
-Location: Dance Studio in school-
Yui had attempted to talk with the brunette but she only got a smile and that was mostly because the brunette's brothers were around. She thought maybe in club hours she'd be able to speak with her before one of the Sakamaki came but Yuki had been practicing. Then as there were a few minutes left of club hours, the brunette was in a conversation with Coco, and now and then someone else would join them which were mostly the girls in their group.
"Do you notice anything on Neko-chan?" Yui jumped and look behind to see Kou with a closed-eye smile, Yui turns back to look at Yuki before turning to stare curiously at the idol.
"Kou-kun and Yuki-chan: The two of you seem to close even though she was gone," Yui commented slightly nervous at the idol's raised brow but neither said anything after that as Ayato arrived just as some of the room occupants started to leave. Then Yui and Ayato left and after a few minutes passed the idol left after receiving a call, which left Coco, Yuki, and the girls on their group in the room to practice some more.
After the third time practicing the choreography, Coco look at the time on her phone that had been connected to the sound system about to restart the music but instead look surprised at the time.
"Girls time to leave," Coco said seeing there wouldn't be a stop to their practicing if she didn't say something now, the girls except Yuki whine at their captain but once they saw she wouldn't budge they turn to stare at Yuki.
"Don't look at me," The brunette said her golden eyes sparkle with amusement but it was replaced with shock as the girls came close and pleaded to her. Coco rolls her eyes as Yuki sighed as she thought the brunette gave up too easily to them but was surprised, "we'll practice the next night again, but for now, it's time to go home and rest."
They started to complain and once again ask her just to go over the choreography once more, Yuki bit her bottom lip her brows drawn together as she stares at them before relaxing her brows and she stopped biting her lip. Coco groans and finally calls for attention.
"Eight minutes."
"I have to leave."
"Yuk-" One of the girls started but was stopped by Coco with hand on the girl's shoulder and narrow gaze before turning to look at Yuki.
"Be careful on your way back home."
"Okay."
Yuki seems relief once she walks out of the school building and saw Ritsu leaning on his car talking with the idol and Marcel who seem bored and didn't care to join the conversation. Once he saw the brunette, he walks towards her as he took something out of his pocket to reveal her phone. "Catch."
"What- Are you insane!?" She exclaims as she catches her phone and glares at him after almost dropping it but that only got her an amused grin from him before he turns to walk back to the other two and with a roll of her eyes followed.

-Tuesday-
-5:05 AM-
Yuki sighed letting out her insistent annoyance as she felt tired yet couldn't go back to sleep since she woke up a few minutes ago, when other times if she woke up early, she was able to go back to sleep. She wouldn't feel annoyance if the reason was because of the change of scenery but it was due more to the bad dream, she had and got her thinking as she stares at the small vial glowing a light blue on the palm of her hand. It has become a constant reminder that she didn't want.
Encasing the vial in her close hand now she places the fisted hand on her chest and closes her eyes as she tried to get rid of any lingering negative thought and emotion, before hiding the vial in a safe place so she could leave her room and find something to do to that'll redirect her thoughts and maybe along the way induce sleep.
The brunette became startled as she passes by the lounge room and saw Ruki but quickly calm herself as to not disturb him. He probably couldn't sleep and came to sit in the lounge room and doze off reading a book.
As she made it outside, she curses stumbling back as Samira landed in front of her. Yuki rolls her eyes seeing the glint on the aquamarine eyes which meant Samira meant to scare her.
"You really did stay guarding undetected, huh?"
"Orders are orders."
"Right, so what's up?"
Samira looks around then towards the door before looking back at Yuki who tilted her head. "I'll first have to report to Lady Anna."
"Okay."
-10:43 AM-
"How did you sleep?" Kou asks as he saw Yuki outside enjoying the sunlight only to get startled once he spoke as she had thought she was the only one outside. As she eases out of her startle state and smiled.
"Suddenly asking me how I slept... Are you okay? I feel like I should be asking you if you slept well." The brunette said all of this as she inspected the idol's face for any hint of tiredness or to see if something was wrong. The only thing she found was the idol now glaring at her aware she was trying to avoid his question so she finally responded.
"I slept well only had one bad dream," She smiles as she was truthful with her response, "which I say it's an accomplishment."
"What else is bothering you?"
"The sun is, so I'm going in now."
"That's not it." He said holding onto her wrist as she tried to leave to go back inside and pull her towards him and chuckle as she ended up placing her hands on his chest and send him an annoyed glare before it dissolves as she relaxed as he places his arms around her ensuring she wouldn't escape. Yuki took a deep breath before she decided to finally speak and look right into his eyes.
"Remember how Marcel said Samira had orders to stay guard?" He nodded and waited for her to continue. "I saw her early in the morning... she left without telling me."
Kou nodded watching as Yuki moves her right hand to play with his necklace before she rested her head on his chest. After a few minutes, he took a step back and his arms no longer wrap around her waist catching her off guard as his hands slid down to hold onto her hips and how he seems to remember something. She didn't know if to be happy or worry yet still wanted to know what he had remembered for him to stare at her and smile.
"What?" Kou continues smiling as she tilted her head to the side as she stares at him with curious eyes as he tucks her hair behind her ear before he leans in and whispers. Despite the blush on her cheeks at his actions and whispering into her ear, she became pouty as he leans away from her. None the less she composes herself after seeing he was amused by her reaction.
"I thought you'd forget by now." She looked away biting her bottom lip lightly before looking back at him in thought about to speak only to not have the chance as someone shouted.
"Oi, Kou!" Kou groan and Yuki smile at the sudden shout, they both turn their heads to see Yuma standing and holding the door open. "Ruki wants to talk to us."
"Okay. ~" Yuki moved away from the idol but not without him still holding onto her.
"Kou, I-"
"Be ready when I come to take what I want from you, my cute M-Neko-chan.~"
Yuma shouted for him to stop flirting and to hurry up and that's when the idol starts walking back to go in. The brunette sighed in resignation as her smile faded.
-11:02AM-
Yuki raises a brow as she enters the kitchen to see all of the Mukami halt their conversation and stare at her, "My bad I didn't know you guys were in the kitchen."
"It's fine." Ruki sighed and smile directed at her. "Did you need anything?"
"I just came in to get something from the fridge."
"Go ahead," Ruki said giving the okay to get what she came for.
The brunette nodded and went to open the refrigerator and grab the item she came for about to speed walk out of the kitchen until the idol stopped her, she looks at him then at the others to see Yuma and Azusa looking away and Ruki staring pointedly at Kou.
"Your father sent a message."
"Kou." Kou ignores the warning tone of his older brother as he watches as Yuki took a deep breath and exhale.
"Ruki-san, it's fine, I already know about the familiar." Yuki smiled as she set her water bottle down on the counter. "but I'd like to know with more detailed his message. My aunt and Samira are vague when they decide to tell me something."
The brunette watched as Ruki thought it over before he sighed and agreed to tell her.
-11:36 AM-
Yuki knocks before entering Kou's room hoping to catch him before he leaves for work but he wasn't there. Deciding to wait she walk towards the bed and sat down, knowing he probably was finishing getting ready by now.
-11:50 AM-
"Neko-chan, I'll see you after work." The idol said as he opens the door to her room without knocking, instead of getting any type of false annoyance or complaints from her, he found her room empty. Yet it wasn't hard to locate her heartbeat and trace it back to the room next to hers.
As he opens the door to his room his eyes landed on her curl-up form against one of his pillows that she hugged to her chest as she slept. Satisfied once he snaps a picture, he left to go work.
-LATER-
"Did Kou leave?"
"Yes."
"Ah, okay."
"Princess, why don't ya come to sit instead of being lock up in your room," Yuma spoke before Yuki tried taking a step to leave, the brunette bit her lip as her eyes look around the living room unsure if she should seat with them but also not wanting to be rude.
"Don't feel pressured if you aren't comfortable."
"No, it's fine I'll stay."
-3:34 PM-
"Are you okay?" Azusa asks as Yuki stood up and left the book that she had been mindlessly been turning pages as she couldn't focus on it as her eyes kept closing. The brunette turns her head to look at him and smile with a nod.
"Yeah, I just need some fresh air."
-3:40 PM-
Back in the lounge room, the brunette was once again trying to stay awake. Shaking her head when Ruki suggested for her to go take a nap instead she was wide awake at the sound of the front door opening and closing follow steps that got closer until he was in the same room as them announcing he was back.
Yuma caught the brunette's conflicted expression and how her fingers became twitchy as she sat straight seeming to be restraining herself as she stares at the idol intently.
"The hell are you twitchy for, princess?" The tall vampire asks as he erupted into laughter making the other three looks at them, mostly at Yuki now blushing and looking away with puff cheeks. Azusa just smiles trying not to laugh too and Ruki let out an amused chuckle and Kou seem to be ready to tease the brunette. Before any teasing, Yuki already deciding how to answer, they seem to have the idea she was going to make an excuse but she surprises them by actually being honest.
"Refraining from getting up to start helping your brother out of his clothes." They were caught off by her honesty that now she was amused, standing up she excuses herself to go get water to help her stayed awake.
Yuki eyes widen in alarm at suddenly being wrap in arms and lifted off the ground, exhaling once she heard Kou's laughter and he had set her down to stand in front of him and half-heartily glaring at him but it d
hands up to cup his face and with her fingertips touch the corner of his lips that were turn up to make a smile. "Touching an idol's face is very bold of you."
"I have my moments of boldness." She smiles pulling her hands off his face referring to her action not long ago. She was about to ask him what was wrong but at that moment his phone rang. Yuki couldn't help but giggle at his frown and the glare he now gave her before he had taken his phone out of his pocket and read the text message before looking up to glare in the direction his brothers were at the moment. Yuki peek at his phone screen and giggled.
"The kitchen is off-limits to undress you. That's disappointing."
Just like in the morning she started playing with his necklace but this time she moved away, opting to lean back on the counter with her arms crossed over her chest.
"But I didn't mean it in the sense of undressing you to-" She raised a brow as Kou place a finger on her lips quieting her from going into what sounded the beginnings of ranting despite wanting to let her as he found it amusing when she ranted and gets embarrassed when she admits something in her rants. At the moment his priorities were different as he moves closer to her removing his finger off her lips as he now guided her head to tilt to the side with his finger, both not cutting eye contact even as he pulls her hair back uncovering her neck, then took a reluctant step back as someone clear their throat.
Kou look over his shoulder and Yuki peek until the idol moved to the side vexed at the interruption and how they accomplish to sneak up on them, which seem to be the case for her too. Ruki had been the one to clear his throat and behind him, the second oldest Sakamaki stood watching with a frown.
Ruki and Kou left to let the siblings talk and once they were alone in the kitchen, she went back to leaning on the counter arms crossed, a sigh left her lips did her glare vanish as she felt it drain her of energy. Despite him still watching her with narrow eyes and a frowning she was polite in asking why he was here, now she frowns as he told her that Yui had mentioned the meeting with the headmaster.
"Why didn't you mention it?"
"What would the point be? If I mention it to you or Shu-nii-san you'd either ignore me or glare at me and both of you aren't responsible for me." Reiji watch as she smiles and shrug. "at this point I feel like he would want my actual parents to go."
"The headmaster knows that's impossible."
"It is possible."
"He's busy."
'When he wants to punish us, he isn't.' She thought bitterly and as the Megane sighed, she became aware she had voiced out her thought out loud. Reiji stayed quiet and Yuki closes her eyes and knitted her brows. "I don't need him to be there nor do I want him to be in the meeting."
"I preferably would enjoy being far away from him, he disgusts me." Yuki spat the last words as she hugs herself before snapping out of it. "I don't even know why I'm still talking, please leave."
Before she was able to walk out of the kitchen Reiji block her way out, her brows knitted and one corner of her lips turned down. Yuki wasn't able to say anything as he quickly decided that she and
the Mukami should be ready for when they picked them up for school and left, with a groan she went to let the others know.
The Mukami sat on the dining room, Ruki finally sitting down after placing the final plate of food in the middle for the others to grab but look at the empty seat beside Kou who at the moment was fighting over the food with Yuma until he clears his throat stopping them from arguing.
"Where's Yuki?"
"Here," Yuki announce entering the dining room and sat down beside the idol still fixing the fingerless gloves with a frown but once she succeeded, she grinned.
"Hurry n' eat."
"Okay." Yuki smiles and started to fill her plate with food.
"Yuki-chan, careful!" Yui wince as her warning was almost second too late for the brunette to trip over one of the triplet's legs, but the person behind pull her back. Yuki looks behind and smiles gratefully at Azusa before carefully making her way to the seat next to Yuma who already sat next to Ruki, Azusa ended up sitting next to her other side as Kou took the seat between Shu and Subaru. The idol busies himself talking to a reluctant albino.
Half the ride to school was spent in awkward silence and Yuki fidgeting until Azusa ask her something which expanded into a quiet conversation between the two until she was gently elbowed by Yuma to get her attention. She looks at him with a brow raised in curiosity and watch as he faintly nodded towards someone and glance to find Yui, the brunette was shocked to see Yui observing her closely with curiosity before looking down after finally getting caught.
Once they had arrived at their destination and before anyone could step down through the now open door, Samira pop in and located the brunette and offer her a hand for her to take once her eyes landed on Yuki who gladly took the offered hand and let Samira guide her down. After the brunette, they all file out of the car everyone dispersing to go to class except for Reiji who caught up to Yuki who walks beside Samira.
Yuki was startled as a hand was place on her shoulder and prompted Samira to glare at the vampire and got closer to Yuki, just waiting for the brunette to order her next action.
"What?"
"The meeting."
"I already have someone to-"
"Didn't you say a parent? In any case, I am your sibling therefore I am accompanying you."
Yuki and Samira look at each other before the brunette turn back to Reiji as Samira walk away clearly amuse at what awaited the vampire in the office.
After Reiji knock on the headmaster's door and was granted permission to enter, the siblings were greeted with the headmaster already in conversation with a brown-haired woman who at the
moment wasn't facing them as she was busy reading a pile of papers. The headmaster smiled at the siblings.
"Ah, you brought your sister. Yuki-chan please take a seat beside your mother." Yuki nodded and walk-in leaving her brother to stand in the doorway in masked shock as the woman turns to look at him and smile as the headmaster thank him and sent him back to class. Yuki watches as he disappears as he closed the door, turning to face her mother who places a hand on top of hers she in turn smiles.
