Many things happen after the altercation that Maikio had with Kanato. One was Kou glaring at the boy in question, and Yuma insistence of walking her to class and to the limo so that non of the Sakamaki brothers have a chance in causing her harm. She loved the attention from her brothers and knew they were protective of her. Mai also asked Ruki if he could teach her basic self defense, he wasn't to keen on the idea. But after she pointed out that she needed to learn; one was that the other brothers and himself wouldn't always be around to save her from everything, second was that if the founders attacked again she would be completely helpless to protect Eve.

So after a lot of reasoning and convincing, Ruki relented in defeat. Her brothers weren't happy that she wanted to learn basics but they allowed her to. Especially since Mai seemed to be a magnet for troubled when they weren't around. She was weary of meeting the last two Sakamaki brothers she has yet to meet. The girl Yui has tried numerous times to try to talk to her, and Mai knew she needed to get to know the girl to help her brothers become Adam. But the Sakamakis were intense.

Mai sighed as she walked to the music room, she tends to hide there while lunch after the teddy loving/ slap happy vampire was walking around at that time. Poking her head into the room to make sure that the blond brother Shu wasn't sleeping in there. Not that she minded at all that he was in there while she practiced, but Yuma didn't like him around her. Something about laziness rubbing off on her. Noting that the boy wasn't in there she walked in and closed the door. Pulling out her music that she was practicing for an upcoming competition she was entered into, she began to play. Stopping each time she hit a note that she couldn't get. After the fourth time, she wanted to pull her hair out in frustration.

"Your C is to flat for the song your playing." A drawled out voice comment, causing Mai to jump out of her skin alittle.

"You shouldn't be in here, my brother doesn't like you much." She said turning around to see that it was Shu.

"Don't care, good place to sleep." He stayed with his eyes closed.

"He thinks your lazy." Mai pointed out as she got ready to start playing again.

"Again, why do I care?" He asked

"Don't know."

Taking Shi'a comment that he C was to flat, she began to play, changing the angle of her bow just a inch to change the note from a very flat C to a note that was between flat and high. Once she got through the whole song, she turned to tank him but he was gone.

"Huh, wonder when he left?" She asked herself as she got ready to return to her class.

When she exited the music room, a scent waved over her, nearly causing her to fall back against the door. The scent smelled of iron and rust, like when Kou came home after going out for a bite to eat. It was blood, Mai only drank blood from a donation bag that Ruki got for her. She ran through the hall way fallowing the scent around the corner and came to an abrupt halt infront of an empty classroom. Slowly opening the door, she saw Yui being held down and whimpering in pain. Mai noticed that the vampire in question had shorter pink hair that matched the fadora wearing brothers hair color. Her body began to move on its own accord, with out knowing the repercussions of desturbing a feeding vampire would entail. But as she was about to pull the guy off of Yui, Mai felt a arm snake around her small waist.

"Awww, looks like mouse bitch wants in on the fun." Laito's voice came singing next to her.

"No! I just don't think feeding at school is a good idea." She stayed as she tried to get out of the pervs arms.

"Quite struggling mouse, or this is gonna hurt more." He cooed in her ear.

"What are you doing!" She nearly screamed as a hand came over her mouth.

"Aww, I've been wondering what you taste like since I came across you, Miss. Mukami ." Laities said as he licked the spot behind her ear.

Ruki explained to her that feeding from another vampire was morally wrong and a taboo. But from the look of this guy, he didn't care at all. Maikio began to struggle more until the boy picked her up off the floor where she couldn't get any footing to struggle against him.

"Laito! Please just stop, she is an innocent." Yui said between whimpers.

"She maybe but she smells soo good. Like spices mixed with fruit." He nuzzled against her throght.

"Laito! Ayato! How many times have I told you, these things are meant for the privacy of your rooms. Not for a public classroom where anyone can walk in." A stern voice rang out.

"Damn it, Reiji." The other guy said pulling away from Yui.

"Reiji, wouldn't you like a spicy treat this girl can bring." Laito asked still looking into Mai's eyes.

"Ayato, make sure she gets home. Laito let the girl go." The one they called Reiji said pushing his glasses up further on his nose.

Mai felt cold as Reiji staired at her from the door way. His eyes deader then any of her brothers showed. Out of all the brothers she met from the Sakamaki family, Kanato was like a mean Pomeranian compared to this guy. As Laito released her, and her feet hit the ground she ran. He violin hitting the back of her legs, she threw open her class room door panting heavily. She didn't know why she needed to get away from Reiji, but her instincts told her she needed to. She tried to calm herself as she sat back down at her desk. With the others they weren't as cold or having the aura of psycho waving off of them. She knew that her brothers would probably know something was up as soon as then got into the car, maybe she might just walk home today, she needed some space. She thought as the class began again, unknowing that Sabaru was watching her the rest of class.

When classes where over, Mai practically ran out before her brother could get there to walk her out of the school. She learned how to teleport so she willed herself to the entrance gate and slipped out before anyone could notice. She knew she would get an ear full from Ruki for leaving, Yuma would call her careless and Kou... she didn't want to think about what Kou would do. But after what happened at lunch, she needed some air and space from her brothers for a little bit. She loved them but after today she feared that they would really throw a fit and go on the attack. The alliance between the families was very thin. And today might destroy it. Mai knew that the alliance was benifichal to getting close to Yui.

Looking around her, she sighed.

"Well this was stupid." She said out loud as she walked.

She watched as the humans around her minded their own business and paid attention to their phones. She was near the street to turn towards their home when it started to rain, and like the klutz she was, had no umbrella. When she turned she heard a sound from the ally way. Mai slowly entered the ally and listened.

"Meow."

The sound was small and faint, but it was definitely a cat. She noticed a box laying next to the garage dumpster and knelt down to look inside. There was a black kitten all soaking wet and shivering. Mai gently reached in and pulled the little kitten out. He had the palest blue eyes she ever seen a cat have, and he curled up against her seeking the warmth she might be able to give. But being a vampire it wasn't much.

Just as she walked out of the ally, Ruki came running around the corner.

"Maikio!" He yelled at her, causing her to freeze in shame.

"What in the hell do you think you were doing?" He painted.

"Walking home?" She questioned.

"Why?" She watched him pinch the bridge of his nose trying to hold back his anger.

"I just had a feeling I needed to walk home, I don't know why but I did." She explained with her head bowed to the ground.

"You should have said something." He sighed.

Mai knew that she could pull a lie on Ruki, but she felt bad she needed to hide the real reason from him. Just as Ruki began to look her over to make sure she was fine, the kitten moved.

"Mai, what's this?" He asked.

"Oh the reason I felt I needed to walk home." She smiled.

"Huh?"

"Can I keep him?" She asked.

Normally vampires had bats as pets, she knew Ruki had a couple and more then likely the reason why he found her.

"Let's just got home." He relinquished with a sigh.
