The time line is about a month and two weeks after she woke up from the spell. So she has started to gain a interesting personality.
*****Disclaimer; I do not own Diabolic Lovers, Just Maikio.****
Pain rushed through her body, from her head to toes. Her blood felt like it was on fire as waves of pain washed over her. It felt like someone was holding tightly to her wrists, to keep her from moving. The pain was focused around her neck. She opened her eyes, but everything was blurred and she couldn't see who it was causing her so much agony, she wanted to leave and never come back. Soon she felt pain erupt from her stomach near her belly button. She felt like she was goanna throw up everything. Soon everything went dark and it felt like she was drowning in the pain that ripped through out her essence, her life force leaving her body.
Mai came flying off her pillows, covered in sweat, painting heavily. She reached for her neck to check if something was wrong, it no longed was in pain, Looking down at her stomach to see no bruising or any cuts there to indicate anything happened to her. She looked around to find her self in her room, Kuro lying on the foot of her bed. Remembering that she walked home from school and almost nearly being bitten by a Sakamaki brother. She found the little black kitten in an ally way, and the Ruki found her.
Once she got home, all her brothers started to lecture her about leaving with out letting them know. She felt so guilty about it, she spilled everything. That she smelt blood and ran towards it, seeing the Eve in whimpering pain, acting on instinct and then being caught by Laito. Her brothers were livid that their sister was nearly bitten, but they were glad she was safe. After the lecture was over, Kou left to go to work, Yuma went to grab some cat stuff, Azuma stayed by her side even while she helped Ruki cook dinner. Things were slowly going back to normal. She just hoped that her brothers wouldn't do anything crazy after Laito nearly bit her.
Mai got up out of bed and pulled on her long pale yellow sweater over her light green nightgown and left the room. Hoping to get a glass of water before trying to go back to sleep after that nightmare. Maybe it was her reliving how she was turned to a vampire. She remembered Ruki saying that not everyone turned was turned in a gentle way that her brothers where turned with their consent. They believed that she wasn't turned with her consent before she became apart of their family. It's been about a month and a half since she woke up and a month since she began school, and 2 weeks since Laito tried to sink his fangs into her skin. Looking around all the lightly lite up hallways, she couldn't believe how her life had changed. Hopefully the Sakamaki brothers will leave her alone now. But her brothers wanted to send a message to them.
"Ruki, are you sure he said that its best if they came to stay here?" Kou's voice flowed down the hallway from the main area of the house.
"That's what he said." Ruki answered.
"But those brothers have cause our sister so much pain!" Yuma yelled.
Mai silently moved to the main area to listen more to what was being said. She stayed in the darkened hallway to try not to be spotted by any of her brothers. She started to pick up the habit of ease dropping on conversations at times.
"He said the founders are goanna make another move." Ruki said with his elbows on his knees looking like he was in deep thought.
The Founders? Mai asked herself as she watched Yuma stand up and start to passé the window behind the couch.
"Screw the founders, that pervert tried to bit Maikio! And he wants up to live under the same roof as that pervert?"
Mai figured out from that comment that the conversation was about the Sakamaki brothers and the man who supported their family. But living with them was something she didn't know if she could do. She possibly could live with the eldest and maybe the youngest; Shu and Sabaru, but she didn't think she could live with the other four. Ayato seemed like a guy that got everything he wanted, she even heard him at school in passing refer to him self as "You'rs Turly", which she didn't think he was above any of the others students at school. Laito was a pervert that loved to call her mouse and a sadist most of the time. Kanato had a anger that was affiliated with that teddy bear he carried around and talked to. The one that she was scared of the most was Reiji, who she only saw a few times, and he seemed the most sadistic to her. He hasn't done anything to her physically but just the feeling she got from him caused her to be alarmed around the older male.
"Mai will be fine, she has us." Ruki said looking at Yuma.
"She….has….had…a…few strange interactions with those brothers." Azuma said looking at his arms.
"But she is a vampire too, so she can protect herself." Ruki explained.
Yuma scuffed at their oldest brother, out of all the brothers she had, Yuma was the most overprotective of them all.
"Meow!" Kuro sounded next to Mai causing her to jump a bit, making the floor creek.
SHIT! "Kuro go back to bed." Mai whispered harshly at the cat.
"Meow!" He just sat there stairing at her, as she waved him away.
She was busy trying to get the kitten to go back to bed not to notice that Ruki came to stand behind her.
"Meow!" Kuro tilted his head to the right looking at her.
"Kuro, you're going to get me into trouble." Mai whispered.
"Maikio, why aren't you asleep?" Ruki's voice came from behind her.
The teen knew it was too late to run back to her room, the kitten got her into trouble. She turned to face her brother, warily chuckled at the irony of he kitten and everything.
"I was, but had a weird nightmare, thought to make some tea." She said looking at him.
"I see, why didn't you do that?" He asked folding his arms across his chest looking at her.
"Um…. Because the conversation you where having was interesting?" She answered with a questing.
"You know ease dropping isn't becoming?"
"Neither is being able to tell when someone is lying." She said crossing her own arms under her boobs looking at him without blinking.
Mai knew that she had thought a lot about many things since she woke up. Like how she didn't know or didn't remember how to hunt as a vampire, or how to compel someone to forget things or to sleep. She believed that she needed to know these things but she let her brothers fret over her so far. But hearing that the Sakamaki brothers were going to be moving to their home would mean they would be far more busy with trying to out do them.
"How much did you hear?" Ruki sighed as he waved her to fallow to the living room.
"Sakamaki brothers moving here, something about the founders plotting again, ect." She placed her arms behind her back clasping her hands as she smiled at Ruki, knowing he won't send her back to bed.
Walking into the living room, she noticed that Yuma was sitting down on the couch again; Azuma on the other end of the sectional, Kou was sitting in the corner. So grabbing a pillow off the chair she sat down between Yuma's legs and waited for Ruki to come in with the tea. Kuro also decided to join them all and curled up in her lap.
"Mai-kitty why are you up?" Kou asked.
"Well Kou-nii I couldn't sleep so I came down stairs." She stated.
"Huha, right like I believe you." He moved his face closer to hers.
"I had a weird dream, maybe it was from when I was turned or something, been having it since stupid Laito tried to bite me." She glared at him.
The brothers knew she had a personal space bubble around them, and unless she allows you in it she glairs. She began to gain a lot more confidence in herself since the incident with Laito, she threw herself into learning her self-defense, and playing her violin, and learning everything she could. After that day she vowed to not let the creep get that close again.
"Guys she heard everything." Ruki said coming out with a pink and gold color mug of tea and handed it to her.
"So you've been ease dropping squirt?" Yuma asked as he gently pulled her hair slightly.
"And you never have?" She questioned taking a sip of her tea.
"She…. has…become…snippy…" Azuma said slowly.
"Snippy? Its almost like she's got a bit of all of us as her personality now." Kou laughed.
"Your not funny Kou-nii." She said puffing out her cheeks and crossing her arms.
After the little distraction they began to discuses the major issue at hand. That in a month or less the Sakamaki brothers will be living under the same roof as them. Mai also learned that the Founders who attached her brothers before, are the original vampires and they have tried to kidnap Yui, also that there are apparently two founders; Carla and Shin Tsukinami. Mai suggested butting the brothers as far away from Yui as possible, and that she may have Kuro sleep with her so that she would know when a brother entered her room.
"Guys we all realize that Mai-kitty isn't exactly a normal vampire right? She doesn't even hunt like we do. Those brothers will know something is up if she doesn't at least attempt to bite Yui." Kou pointed out after they've been talking what it felt like hours about everything they had on their minds. Mai kept quiet as she sat between Yuma's legs keeping him seated even if he got mad.
She set her mug down and sat up little straighter.
"Well the logic idea is to make sure that I know how to hunt before they come to live here. Logically once Eve is in the house you all will be to busy to pay attention to me, so knowing what I need to know to survive would be beneficial to me." She stated, and she knew how much she sounded like Ruki in that instance.
After being around them so much, Mai tends to act timid like Azuma most of the time, but she can get angry like Yuma; especially when anyone interrupts her bath time, she is as cheerful as Kou but she keeps everything in reserve like Ruki. Many of her classmates at school noticed this and have stated it. They have also asked about her brother's mainly Kou since he was an idol they admired.
"It's not that easy Mai-kitty." Kou said.
"Well Kou-nii-chan, you should teach me." She smiled an open mouth smile, her tongue touching a fang, eyes closed and head tilted to the right looking at him.
