Slowly I woke up from sleeps. My head felt heavy and it was still hard to breath through one nostril. As a yawn came from my mouth I stretched my legs and arms. 'Wait. Something is wrong. Why can't I move my arms?' I squirmed in my bed. But it was worthless. It felt like my arms were constrained by something. I opened my eyes to see what was up with this? I was in my room. For a moment I tried to remember how did I get here because the last thing I recall is that I was in Reiji's room about to stuck test tubes down his throat. Then everything doubled in my eyes and...yeah. That's all I could remember. But at this moment the other thing was more important. Why can't I move my arms?
I sat up on my bed and looked down at what I was wearing. It was black hoodie. 'Right... I took it from Ayato in Switzerland. I forgot to give it back to him'
"What the damn hell?" my arms were folded and hoodie's sleeves were tied up behind me. Like a straitjacket.
"You're damn noisy"
'Speak of the devil' I turned my head and as I was expecting Ayato was sitting on the other side of bed, looking back at me over his shoulder.
"Is this your job?...This is your job. Why did you do such thing?" I squirmed, trying to escaped. But everything was so tight. I could hardly move my arms.
"So what if I did ? Besides, you asked for it. "
"In what universe I would do that ?!" I shouted with high pitched voice still struggling with my big escape. "Untie me!"
He turned his head way from me "Why should I ?"
"Cause I'm not Houdini !"
"That's what you get for annoying Ore-sama"
"Umm...I don't know what word 'annoying' means in your dictionary but for your information, for the last few days I didn't left my bed. And if that's for you annoying then I'm sorry I don't get your vampirish logic"
"Hah !?" He turned to me "Don't tell me you forgot. Last night you came to my room and started babbling nonsense about how you would be great president of Madagascar. Then you started touching my hair. So I putted you in this" he pointed to homemade straitjacket
"What?" I stooped moving "I didn't go to your room. I was in Reiji's room when..." I remembered the moment of major dizziness and instability that I felt back then "What kind of medicine that son of a teacups gave to me?"
"Hehe. You idiot. Taking something from that four-eye. How dumb can you be ? Hehe Well at least that explains a lot now" a small giggle left vampires mouth.
"Hey ! I was sick and in pain and I didn't think straight"
But then I realized that this is the first time he's talking with me since that night in Switzerland. It's nice. Not the part of him making fun of me. But the fact that he's normal himself. Well at least that's what I think.
"Oy!" his voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "Why were you smiling?"
'I'm smiling? Shit, I'm still smiling. Stop smiling. Stop smiling. Stop smiling. Oh crap. Oh shit. Think of puppy with three legs...Why am I still smiling ! Somebody fix this thing !'
"No, no, no. Nothing-" suddenly he pushed me down into the bed placing his hands next to my head.
"Is there something amusing ?" he said with that rusty voice of his and leaned closer to me.
"Laughing babies videos, the way Kanato tries to eat cookies with fork. Ouch !" I received flick on my nose.
"Idiot" he sighted. But then smirk appeared on his face as he leaned even closer. Almost touching noses. "I think I'll takes this opportunity while you binded and suck your blood" With one hand he turned my head to the side.
"What a surprise" I sighted rolling my eyes.
I felt a sharp pain then I heard gulping sounds. But something was wrong. Ayato slowly took two gulps. Then he pulled away from me and sat on top of me. His face expression was filled with disgust.
"The fuck is wrong with your blood. It tastes bad "
"Sorry babe, try your luck next year"
"Oy! Are you still trying to make fun of me ?! Do you want to be sucked dry ?" he shouted.
"One: my blood tastes bad because I'm still sick and recovering from Reiji's potion therapy. And two: sucking me dry ? Really? You'll probably end up vomiting plus you will have to answer your dad who said Not. To. Kill. Me. Kapish ?" I raised my eyebrow. For a moment vampire didn't said anything.
"Okay smart pants" he folded his arms "I was considering untying sleeve's knot but I guess I'll leave it a little bit longer" he grinned
"Oh come on"
Ayato got out of the bed and walked towards door scratching his head. Before turning door knob he looked at me one more time.
"When you'll get better, come to me so I could suck your blood. Or else you'll be punished..." and he left the room.
"...by sucking my blood" Seriously, what difference does it make. For vampires, sucking blood is the answer for everything.
I sat up in my bed and finally, through strugells I escaped hoodie-trap. The clocked showed almost 7 p.m. It was about time for breakfast. But for me it's two mugs of medical tea. I folded hoodie leaving it on my bed and I headed to the kitchen.
The water started boiling in kettle. I was still wearing my sweatpants and tight jumper. The best part of being sick is that you can wear comfortable cloths for days. Best feeling on the Earth.
I poured water into a mug. For a couple of seconds I was looking at it.
"Just to make sure" I took a mug and poured a little of tea in vase where flower was. "Hmm...Nothing. Well then I guess it's okay"
Stupid Reiji. Giving me drugs. And the thing is that I don't remember what happened in a time between walking into Reiji's room and waking up in my bed all tied up in hoodie. 'Oh he's gonna get it'
"Oh Bitch-chan, haven't see you in while"
I nearly dropped the mug from my hands when I heard Laito's voice . 'I hate when they do that teleportation thing. But if he's here...'
"Did I scared you~ "
"No. Drink this and tell me what it taste like" I offered him a mug that I was holding.
"Why?"
"It's for science, social experience, do it for the people of macaron factory. You choose , just do it "
Laito hesitated for a moment. Then he took a mug from me and took a small sip.
"Dizzy? Feeling nauseous ? Do you see one me or two me ? Does your body feel heavy?" I questioned him.
"If you think that Reiji putted something in your tea, you're wrong. After last night show I think he won't do these kind of things for a while Fufu~"
"What night show?"
"Oh look at the time~ The limo is probably waiting for me."
"No" I grabbed his hand and sat him down on the chair "You're not going anywhere. Tell me what happened last night?"
Laito gave me a devilish smile. He crossed his legs and leaned against the chair bringing his both hands behind the head.
"It's so sad that you forgot our special night..." My eyes got wide open "...I mean, for human girls like you, first time making love is a big event in her life." Mug slipped from my hands and shattered on the floor.
'Did I heard that right?'
I was in trance state. My brain still was processing information . But there was nothing to process. He said it clearly. I snapped out of my thoughts and glared at Laito. I didn't noticed when I clenched my fists. Without any warning I attack Laito.
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU !" I tried to grabbed his neck in attempt to choke him. But he fought back.
"Aww Bitch-chan wants to kill me. You truly love me" he laughed
"AGGHHHHH!"
"Laito, we're about to leave..." Reiji fixed his glasses "What did you said to her?"
"Hey, Reiji "
"HE LURED ME IN HIS BED !"
"Honestly, Laito." Reiji sighted
"But I wanted to see how would she react" Laito giggled and looked at me. I was still trying to grabbed his neck. "And it's amusing~"
When I heard what he said I stopped. It was only a joke. I glared at Laito which amused him even more. I grabbed fedora's brim and pulled it down roughly. So now his eyes were covered.
"Bitch-chan~ There's no need to be so cruel" he took off fedora, brushed his hair back and putted it on.
I directed my glare at Reiji as I folded my arms. His eyebrows frowned a little.
"What is it?" he asked me
"You're dead to me"
"Pardon?"
"You drugged me!"
Reiji pushed his glasses "If I recall correctly, you asked me to give something from pain. And I did. So you have no right to be angry on me"
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!"
"For your own sake I suggest you stop shouting. It will only lead to sore throat exacerbation"
"Fufu~ This is amusing" Laito giggled.
I sighted.
"That's enough. Laito, let's go" Reiji said and turned around.
"Oh, Reiji, one last thing" Before they left the kitchen vampire looked at me over his shoulder " Sleep with one eye open. One. Eye. Open" I said without breaking eye contact with him.
With no responds he turned around and walked out of the kitchen with Laito.
Later that day Yui brought homework to me. She was doing that while I was sick so I could keep up with classes. But the thing is I chose my favorite option: leave everything for the last minute. Then drink three cups of coffee and have the night of your life.
I thanked her and took paper sheets placing them on the pile of homework-that-need-to-be-done.
"When will you come back to school?" Yui asked
"Tomorrow"
"What! Are you sure ? You still have running nose"
"It's not that bad" I sat down at my desk "Besides, It gets boring just sitting in one place" I looked at pile of papers. "This will be fun"
"You will do this all at once?"
"Yup"
"Then I guess I should go now. Don't wanna to disturb you. Bye"
"Bye. Thanks again for your help"
*The next day. In limo*
"I'm surprised that someone with IQ lower then average managed to do all that homework with one sit. " Reiji commented without looking up from his book.
I crossed my legs "Yeah. I'm stupid. So can you clear one thing out. When I finish my homework should I put it in my backpack or shove it up your ass"
Everyone looked at me.
"I see you need a visit to the dungeons again. Seriously, you still can't get over it? "
"No shit Sherlock. You drugged me. Of course I'm still mad. And you were the one who lecture me about manners."
"Hmph" he continued to read "I wouldn't call it 'drugging you' . It was simply scientific experiment. There's a difference"
'Experiment?'
"Should I wait till you finish reading your book or I can smack the shit out off you now"
"If you have nothing better to say then please be quiet and let me read. Sight...Seriously your annoying like a fly. Maybe cutting your wings would make you less bothersome"
"Then I would be invalid fly. Non of you could make fun of me because it's not nice to do that to someone with disability. And the best part would be that I'll be able to park my car wherever I want"
All the way to school we kept arguing until Shu interrupted us because we were spoiling his music. And we did stopped because he gave us ultimate death glare. Also, I asked about what happened. And apparently after passing out in Reiji's room, Shu carried me to my bedroom but then I woke up again and took his MP3 player. I then juggled with Kanato's toys. Used Subaru's coffin as a bongos while he was still inside. Then finally I went to Ayato's room and started touching his hair. Judging from the story, I had the time of my life which I don't remember. Too bad
*In school*
I still had time before class started. I was siting at my desk thinking what could I do to Reiji. I don't wanna leave it this way. I took the bottle that Reiji gave to me. I drank only have of it. Maybe this will work out. I will make him taste his own medicine. But...crap...his nose is trained to detect these kind of stuff. He would probably smell it. Guy litrely live in that laboratory of his among potions. I bet if he would build a castle it would be made of test tubes. That would be weird. Stupid smart-Reiji's-brain. Wait a second. He knows that I'm planning on doing something to him. In other words he will extra careful for now. What if I would only act that I'm planing to do something but I wouldn't do anything. He would start overthinking which should drive him nuts. It might work. I will try it out tonight at the dinner table. Really hope this will work.
I looked at the clock. Five minutes and bell will ring. I heard door sliding sound. Some man entered. In one hand he was holding a mug and in the other one file binder. That wasn't our teacher.
"I see most of you took your seats." Everyone looked at the man "Okay. I will be your new biology teacher. And without any formalities I will get straight to the rules. This class will always start 5 minutes earlier. If you late you get minus. Three minuses and I will lower your test score by 20 % And for each class you must be prepared for test." you could hear displeased whisper in class.
"Disculpe, qué?" (Excuse me, what?) I said to myself
"El test. Siempre que. Ebtiendes lo que estoy diciendo?"(Test. Every time. Do you understand what I'm saying?) teacher heard me. I just nodded my head.
What's up with these rules? He's more crazy then I am. This is madness.
"The other teacher said you had to do assignment for today. Please leave your notebooks on my desk. I will be back soon" And he took his leave.
Everyone took their notebooks and placed it on the desk. Mine was somewhere in the bag. Finally when I found it I noticed that I still have 'medicine' bottle.
'Teacher left his mug on the desk'
I took a bottle and my notebook. The bottle fitted in my hand just right. I placed my notebook where everyone's else were. Then quickly poured potion in teacher's mug and walked back to my seat.
When teacher came back he took a mug and sipped whatever was in there. From a shelf he took a poster and hanged it where the board was. Then he took another sip. From file binder he took some papers. All this time I was smiling because I already could see that he's getting unstable.
"Okay...kids...today's lesson is...umm" teacher looked at the poster "..evolution. Take your notes"
One girl raised her hand
"Umm our notebooks on your desk, sensei"
"Then write into books. So evolution"
I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked at Ayato raising my eyebrows.
"What did you do this time?"
"Nothing...that would endanger his life" I whispered. Ayato frowned his eyebrows and looked back at the teacher
"It was thought of Charles Darwin. And it goes something like this. In the beginning we were all fish. Okay. Swimming around in the water. And then one day a couple of fish had a retard baby. And the retard baby was different so he got to live. So, retard fish goes on and makes more retard babies and then one day a retard baby fish crawled out of the ocean with his...mutant... fish hands. And it had butt-sex with the squirrel..."
I was in so much pain. Trying not to laugh. Even Ayato was giggling. All students were confused or amused.
"...and made this. Retard-frog-squirrel. And then that had a retard baby which was monkey-fish-frog. And then this monkey-fish-frog had but-sex with that monkey and that monkey had a mutant-retard-baby who screwed another monkey and that made you. So there you go. You are retarded offspring of five monkeys having but-sex with a fish-squirrel. Congratulations."
'I'm so sorry God but I have no regrets'
Later that day I decided to get away from people and rest a little bit on the school's rooftop. I was sitting on the round with my back leaning against the wall. From time to time giggles left my mouth.
"I wish that all classes would be like this" I giggled again.
"I wonder would you still be laughing if Reiji finds out about this ?"
I gasped from fear. Ayato suddenly popped out next to me.
"Stop doing that" for a moment I thought I had a heart attack.
"I do whatever I want. You're in no place to order me...But what you did today. Hehe It was pretty awesome"
"Sooo your not telling Reiji about this?"
"Hmm... I think I will use it to blackmail you" Ayato gave me toothless grin.
"Great" I rolled my eyes and looked away from him. The starry night sky was clear. We both sat in silence. At first it was okay. But then it's just got awkward.
'Why he doesn't talk? Why I don't talk? Why no ones talk? I hate this so much. Conversation topics. Think, think. Do you like garlic? I'm getting stupider and stupider with time. Damn it. Okay, I think I got it'
"Remember when teacher started talking about his personal life?" I asked
"Yeah"
When teacher stopped talking about evolution, he started to compare women and man with scissors and paper. I think he was trying to say that his wife cheated on him. Which made me feel horrible for what I did...for like a second, because then he tried to explain us from where babies come from.
"I was thinking. When I was ...high, did I started talking about my life too?" I turned to look at Ayato.
For a moment he was looking at me before he spoke.
"No. As I said you kept touching my hair and talking about being the president of Madagascar."
"Hmm..." I brushed my finger through his hair.
"Oy! The hell are you doing" he grabbed my hand.
"They are soft"
"Tch. Of course they are. I have the best hair"
"Wow" I giggled
"You think it's funny. Do you want to be punished? " He leaned closer.
"No, no, no. It's just..."
He looked at me confused
"Tell me why now?"
Ayato leaned against the wall keeping his eyes on me.
"I mean you didn't talked to me for like three weeks since that night in Switzerland" he looked away "And it just happened that I woke up and suddenly you're talking to me like nothing happened"
He didn't respond
"My brother, Jiro, one time said that everything that we do has a reason. And there's no such thing as 'I did something because I felt like it'. So tell me. What was your reason ?"
Silence. That was his respond.
*Ayato's flashback*
"Oy! Keep your hands of my hair" I tried to push Kaya away from me. But she kept jumping on.
"Fluffy Hehehe. So soft like a baby's butt"
"Tch. Just go away, damn it !" I shouted. That made her stop "What kind of shit that four-eye gave to her" I scratched my head but then I heard sobs "Why are you crying ?"
"Because Ayato hates me" tears began rolling down her cheeks. It was first time when saw her crying.
"I don't hate...Tch. Stop it !" I shouted on her which made her cry even more.
"I don't get it" she said sobbing "I only went for a walk and then he started shouting on me. And I didn't do anything bad. But he thinks that I did something. But I didn't do a one thing. One thing. And he thinks that I did a whole thing that I didn't do once"
"What?" I couldn't understand the last part. Then she started crying more.
"I want to be friends with him" she covered her face with hands
"Fuck" one part of me was enjoying hearing her sobs but the other part...With one hand I wrapped her shoulders bringing her closer to me chest.
"Oh it's feels so nice when someone is touching you" she said trough sobs and hugged me.
"Pervert"
Her grip was so tight. But I didn't disliked it.
