Cold night wind blew on the rooftop messing my hair. From a distance I could hear trees rustle which was the only thing that was breaking the silence. I fixed my side bangs brushing it back with my fingers. It nicely fell back covering one side of my forehead.
I still didn't got the answer from Ayato. The boy's gaze was directed to night sky. It seemed that he was lost in his thoughts. I haven't asked him to explain me how car's engine works or anything.
'What was your reason?' Come to think of it, maybe it's not that easy to answer this question for him. My guesses are that this is another vampirish thing that I don't understand. Put that in my list.
'Why does everything that involves vampires must be dramatic.' I mentally sighted' That's why I like Blade. Perfect balance of tragic main character's story, action, beheading, turning to ashes, cutting one's limbs off and badassing...I should do Blade's trilogy's marathon again.'
The bell rang. As much as I didn't want to, I had to go back to class. Plus, it's cold outside which is not a chicken soup for my cold.
I stood up taking my backpack "Well, I don't know how about you but I'm going back inside." I putted bag strap on my shoulder "You should- Hey!" I turned around because someone's hand, and by someone's I mean Ayato's, was touching my butt. But it felt more like brushing-spanking.
"What the hell?!" I glared at him. Ayato just brought his both hands behind his head and gave me that I-didn't-do-anything-wrong face.
"Your skirt was dirty"
"One: Worst excuse for touching my ass ever. Two: Well if my skirt was muddy or dusty or whatever you could have JUST TOLD ME!"
"Instead of shouting you should be grateful to me for not letting you go with dirty skirt. Besides I can touch whatever I want" He closed his eyes and leaned his head against the wall.
"No you can't! Only I can touch myself!"
Ayato opened his eyes and looked at me. Then a smile appeared on his face and he started giggling. First I didn't understood what was so amusing but then I repeated in my head what have I said and I face palmed myself.
"Oh dear Lord. I didn't mean it that way!" I blushed.
"Hehe. You're truly are pervert" he teased me.
"Well you're no different. You thought about it too." I noticed that he started looking at me strangely "Wh-What now?"
His smile was replaced with a smirk. "Finally I got to see that face" he said standing up from the ground keeping his eyes on me. They were filled with satisfaction and amusement.
"That face?" I asked
"I was waiting to see your embarrass-face expression all this time"
"Embarrass face expression?" this time I asked on purpose to annoy him. I know I'm a bad person to do that but I understand that face-expression-satisfaction thing. Personally I like Oh-my-vampire-God face on those guys.
Ayato frowned his eyebrows "Stop asking stupid questions. You know what I mean. Tch. Now it's gone"
I think he meant a blush because my cheeks weren't warm anymore.
"Mhe. Whatcha gonna do ? See ya in a class" I said casually but before I could walk away I felt the back pain for a moment. The next thing I know, my hands were pinned down to the wall by certain someone.
"Seriously, because of these kind of thing I will have back problems in the future" I said under my breath as I raised my head up to face vampire. But I froze when he did one thing that I wasn't expecting. He leaned closer and closer, and closer to my face.
"This is what I'm gonna do" he whispered with low and husky voice of his.
My heart started pounding like crazy, face started to feel hot. Not warm but hot. In my head Jessie J was sing 'I'm burnin' up'. Now that song makes so much sense to me. Ayato's face was so close to mine which made me gasped. Our noses were touching and lips only half inch away. We were in this position for few moments until grin appeared on his face again.
'Well this is...nice turn of the event. We're starting this day with a bomb'
'Not now brain'
'I'm not your brain. I'm the other you.'
'There' '
'There is a difference!'
'We are not having this conversation right now!'
"That's it. That's the face" I came to reality when I heard Ayato's silent giggle. He backed away still grinning and released my hands. It was all for just to see me blushing 'Pfff, Vampires' But right now, I need to act like Eddie Griffin from Undercover Brother and 'Got to get my cool back'.
"Dude, you're blushing too"
"WHAT?! I'M NOT ! Do you wanna pick a fight on me ?!" he quickly reacted.
"That's it. That's the face" I imitated him which made a small blush spread on his cheeks.
"You asked for it" Ayato hissed. He roughly grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him. With his free hand he brushed my hair away from the side of my neck and sank his fangs into my flesh. 'Why he's sucking my blood if yesterday it tasted bad?' It probably was because of Reiji's drug traces in my blood. But I wasn't in a mood for fainting. 'Hmm I wonder if he's…'
"Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle" With my free hand I tickled his armpit. Surprisingly his body reacted to that by shrugging and stepped back.
"The hell are you doing ?!" he frowned his eyebrows.
"...Sorry. I panicked" then I smiled "You're ticklish"
I received glare from him and I knew that he will bite me again. And there's was nothing else left to do but one thing. If you start with crazy stunt, then finish with one too. I shoved my backpack in his face and started running.
'Sport equals health'
*in headmaster's office*
Behind the desk in front of us was sitting furiously looking academy headmaster. And on the chairs were sitting me, Ayato and Reijji between us.
"I'm terribly sorry for these two" Reiji apologized.
"Running through the academy's hallways, interrupt other students classes, damaging school's property" principal listed.
"Again. I'm sorry" Reiji said and looked at me. 'Why the hell he's glaring at me. Ayato broke the door. I was just running'
"It's some kind of nightmare. Students going crazy, teachers starting hallucinate..."
'Best. Biology lesson. Ever'
"Anyway, this kind of behavior can't be tolerated. For now, Yagami-kun, you will have detention for one week."
"What!"
"Don't make me do it three weeks" headmaster hissed
"Yes sir" I shrugged in my seat
"And for Sakamki-kun three days"
"Gender discrimination I say" words automatically came out from my mouth.
Headmaster looked at me "Two weeks." he changed the date on paper "And no. Not because of that. Here, Sakamaki-kun is in our academy's basketball team. And our policy is that student who attends after school activities gets smaller number of detention's days" Ayato mockingly grinned at me. 'Damn it. Dumb policies. Who needs them. I would rather live in the world without them. It would be a chaos but I would survive' Headmaster handed papers to us and we were dismissed.
When we left headmaster's office Reiji turned to both of us.
"When we'll get home, I want to have a word with both of you" he hissed "Now get back to class"
There was silence between us as we walked back to class. I couldn't believe that I will have to sit for an extra hour after class for next two damn weeks. But the good side is that for one hour I won't have to deal with those suckers. I should think of this as a relaxation.
"Ouch" I silently whimpered covering my mouth as sharp pain spread through all of my teeth.
"Kiss-virgin, what's wrong with you?" Ayato asked.
"Nothing just a tee-" Is stooped when I realized how he called. Boy noticed that and looked at me mockingly again. "Kiss-virgin?!"
"You have never been kissed. I can tell by the way you acted when we were on the rooftop. So this is your new nickname. Kiss-virgin"
'This day just keeps getting better' But I wasn't in a mood for fighting. At that moment, all I wanted was to get 'a real' pain killers.
"You know, I don't even care right now. But we will come back to this topic about nicknames later." And I left.
I knocked on the door of infirmity room. I heard a voice that said come in. In the room I saw a man with white doctor's coat. His hair was white, medium length. Wearing glasses. And strangely he looked familiar but I couldn't recall where I could have saw him.
"I'm sorry for bothering you, but could I get pain killers? My teeth hurt"
The doctor looked at me 'I swear the God, we have met somewhere before'
"Of course" he stood up and from shelf took something. I came closer to him. He handed me a pills and offered a glass of water. I took a pill and swallowed it.
"Thank you" I said placing glass on a desk.
"May I check your teeth. Just in case"
For some reason, my instincts said don't do it. But the pain. "Sure"
He gestured me to sit down and I did that. He drew another chair closer and sat down in front of me. "Open your mouth" he took a small flashlight and cheeked my teeth. "I can't see nothing wrong with your oral cavity. I think that you will grow out of this pain. For some people that happens. For now use pain killers. " he smiled
"Okay. Thank you again" I took my leave.
In class I was still thinking about that doctor. Because I was for sure that I saw him somewhere before and talked to him too. I think too much. It's probably just one of those deja vu things. And besides, whatever that man gave to me, it worked. The pain is gone. If only there was a frug that would make the pain which is waiting me back home disappear. Oh Lord give the strength.
*in the mansion*
"...did I made myself clear"
"Yes" me and Ayato answered. We both had to listen his lecture about general school system, our academy's policy, manner's litany and….. something else.
" I don't get it way I'm being scolded. It's all kiss-virgin's fault" Ayato hissed.
"You're the one who chased me and broke all of those things. And stop calling me like that!"
"I will call you whatever I want. And tickling a vampire, are you for real ?"
"Yes I am. I finally have found an ultimate weapon against you guys"
Reiji closed his book loudly "If you two are arguing then please, get out off my room" he took a cup of tea and was about to take a sip but then he noticed my gaze. "What is it?"
"Oh nothing. Just keep drinking your tea" I said without breaking the eye contact with him . And after few seconds I walked out of the room leaving Reiji confused. For now I should forget fight with Ayato and concentrate on Reiji. Let's start our plan. Muahaha...
Later that day we all had our monthly dinner party. And not the fun one. We were all sitting, eating, some of us sleeping. I was sitting between Shu and Subaru. As everyone started to eat, I kept looking at Reiji. He took one bite of steak and the turned his head to me.
"It's impolite to stare. Honestly, your manners are.."
"Is it good." I cut him off.
He gave me questioning gaze
"A steak. Is it good?" I repeated
Reiji looked at his plate then back to me.
"You did something"
"No . I didn't touched it. Just keep eating" I acted innocent and started cutting my own steak. Reiji once more looked at his plate, examine his food like looking for a clue of something that could explain my words.
"You didn't do anything" he said
"Are you sure?" I responded without raising my head. That made Reiji examine his food once again.
I couldn't believe it worked. But the worst thing of this, I couldn't enjoy. No smile. No giggling. Nothing I could do because it would ruin my plan. Nothing was done to his food. Well at least by me. I'm just making him think that way.
When we were half way trough the dinner I stood up and excused myself.
"Where are you going?" Reiji stooped me
"I have to do things " and I walked towards the door.
"What things?" he asked me.
I turned my head to him and with emotionless face said "Things" and left the room. When I was out I cracked a smile.
The next part of my plan was to go to his work room and just touch something. Just leave my scent there so later on Reiji would . And I asked myself a question: what is the most precious thing for Reiji ? Teacups. I acted quickly. I opened a shelf where he kept his all tableware and moved teacups a little bit. That's all I have done. He will come back, notice changes and will start asking himself 'What she did here? Is it a prank? Maybe she stole something or mixed my potions?'
For the next two days I kept doing things like that, which little by little drove Reiji crazy. I think he felt that way because he didn't knew what was going on. I kept giving him fake hints that I did something. That boy started checking everything: chairs on which he sits, food, tea, even when he enters room he scoped everything with his eyes. Reiji kept asking me 'What did you do?' and my answer always were the same: I looked at him with poker face and said 'Nothing'. Even when his brothers kept asking me the same question my respond was the same.
On the third day, Reiji figured out my plan. Well done Sherlock. And all my fun with him was over...for like an hour. There was one more part of my plan which included actually doing something to him. We were about to leave to school. While everyone was waiting downstairs, I ran to Reiji's work room and started mixing potions, changing their places. In one of a test tubes with liquid I poured something from the other and got my ass out of there.
After school I was sitting in detention. 45 minutes pasted when I sneezed.
"Reiji is thinking about me" I said to myself.
I got home by foot. When I opened the door of mansion I saw entrance hall drowned in fog but it was clear enough to see a vampire standing with angry face expression.
"Oh no. What happened? Did your laboratory exploded" I asked sarcastically.
The next moment I know he locked the gates from a cell in dungeons and walked away. To be honest, I was expecting that. I leaned against gratings and raised my voice.
"So tonight's music's playlist will include Stay With Me by Sam Smith, Waiting on the World to Change by John Mayer, Ten Feet Tall by Wrabel, Rude by MAGIC!. Oh and there will be a chance for me to start rapping. And heads up, I might sound like freestyling Iggy Azalea"
"Don't rap. It hurts my ears"
"What's up Shu ?" I looked at the boy laying on the ground on the other side of the cell's door.
"You really angered Reiji this time. I'm surprised he didn't take you to torture room. If you wanna survive here then you should start using your head. Reiji, nor others will tolerate these kind of stunts of yours."
"I know. This time I crossed a line. Again. But I will go apologize to him." I sat down on the ground. Shu opened one eye and looked at me.
"Does that mean you will stop annoying him?"
I smiled "I care about him and I love him as a one of my brothers..."
Shu looked at me confused. Like he couldn't believe what I just said.
"...but he will always be that asshole who drugged me. So no"
"Of course" Shu sighted and closed his eye.
"Anyway, why are you here?" I asked Shu.
"Kanato got hysteric again which made Subaru's nature to show up. So I needed a place to sleep"
'I just hope my room's walls still be standing when I come back'
The other I woke up and like the last time doors unlocked by themselves. After stretching muscles I stood up and walked out of dungeons. It was still dark outside, the light were off only moonlight getting through the windows helped me to see.
"Ouch. Goddamn it" but it didn't helped me to see a table in the living room. I bumped my hip to the edge of table. "I forgot you were here." I placed my hand on the table.
"First talking to animals then furniture. There is something wrong with your brain, Kiss-virgin"
"Would you stop that!"
Ayato stood up from the couch where he was sleeping on.
"You're damn noisy"
"Then stop mocking me. Jeez" I headed towards door "I'm getting detention, you with nicknames, Reiji and his dungeon. The universe does hate me" I sighted. 'But I did asked for it considering my actions'
I reached for a door knob but then someone turned me around.
"What now?" I was mentally preparing myself for another remark and for sure he will suck my blood.
I felt Ayato's cold hand on the back of my neck. He pulled me closer at the same time leaning towards me and crashing his lips on mine.
