"You want to know more about me ?" the request was weird. Since I got in this mansion, everyone wanted to shut me up. Especially Reiji, and I quote 'I would lock you in the dungeons and sew up your lips'. Good wishes.
The strange man took me aside from everyone else and offered me a seat to the table, sitting as well in front of me. He wore a black, old fashioned classic suit which looked really expensive 'Is he a doctor or something ?' From a inner jacket pocket he took out a notebook and pen. 'Why am I having a bad feeling ?'
"Please don't be nervous. I just want to know few things about you. And if it helps I have PH.D. degree in psychology. "
"And I have Ph.D. in making Reiji drink aspirin. But how that should calm me down?" I folded my arms leaning against the chair.
"...Think about this as a free, professional psychological counseling"
"You know, I do understand that you're saying this only because you want to analyze my brain and mental health...but what the hell" I place my arm on table "So, what's up?"
For a moment doctor looked at me and wrote something down "First question: how are you doing right now? Any peculiar events in your life ?"
"Wait. No. I have a question of my own. All this conversation will be only between us, right ? One time I heard that this doctor posted his patient health-"
He raised his hand as a gesture to stop talking "I can assure you, it will be only between you and me. This hesitation is understandable. Since I'm a vampire it's only natural for a human to not trust me. But times are different now, so are some of a vampires. Do you understand what I'm trying to say ?"
For a moment I was lost in my thought, processing what Dr. Fangs told me "That now there are more vampire who are trying to figure out humans...?"
"Something like that" I pointed my face "Now back to my question"
"I guess I need to be checked just to make sure everything is fine up here" I pointed to my head "Okay, how am I feeling? Umm...Probably I'm kind of upset because I still have one week of detention. Stupid academy's rules" I mumbled
"What happened?"
"Well. I was sitting on the roof top. Ayato popped out. Wanted to see my blushing face. Then bit me. I tickled him. He chased me around the school. And whatever he says, he was the one who broke classrooms doors."
Doctor looked at me for a second before writing down some more stuff in his notebook "Umm.. Could you..tell me..why you tickled someone who can easily kill you for that?" he stuttered a little.
"He should have known that this day will come eventually: me tickling him. Oh and at that moment I was sick. So that had some influence on my actions. But that was nothing compared to what I once did to Subaru. Long story short: he ripped off duct taped phone from my thigh so in return I tried to 'wax' his legs and arms using duct tape too. It was a revenge thing. It failed. And I know what you thinking: why did you do that to someone who can kill you? "
Doctor slowly nodded looking at me with eyes filled with disbelieve.
"Sir, you see there are some unwritten rules in our life. For example: If it has only two legs you still have a chance too run away from it and don't be killed. Except if that 'it' is Olympic runner or just professional runner. Then your gone. Also if you love someone, you should learn to let it go for good. Unless it's a bear." Doctor kept looking at me with questioning look on his face
"Maybe you just talk what's coming into your head and we will see where this will lead us?"
I snickered a little "You might wanna take another pen because I have a lot of to tell you..."
Meanwhile on the other side of the room Sakamakis were observing Kaya's and doctor's conversation.
"Finally we will get some answers" Reiji said fixing his glasses.
"Nee~ Teddy do you think he will lock her in mental institution?"
"There is fifty-fifty chance of that" Laito said
"What else can happen?" Ayato asked
"Kaya will drive that guy crazy with her nonsense so that he'll be the one who will need to go see psychiatrist" Laito looked at red head.
"One way or another I hope he will be able to tell what is wrong with her" Reiji sighted
"But from the looks of it..." Subaru interrupted "...that doctor guy is getting more and more confused of whatever she is telling him"
"...the thing is I took a peek in his room after and nothing was broken. Well okay from all that chemical-mixture-smokes Reiji's room had this weird smell but it didn't exploded. His teacups collection was alright. But he still send me to dungeons even tho I told him that now we're even. He drugged me.I played a little bit with his potions. Eye for eye. Well maybe he was on his vampirish days witch made him emotionally fragile. Like a flower. Sadistic, strict, no-sense-of-humor, tea loving, people drugging flower."
I have been talking for about a half of hour. I started telling my story of how I got in this mansion and what happened at that time. After first fifteen minutes doctor stop writing down notes for himself. He just sat there and from time to time he nodded his head saying "Aha"
"And this lead us to other event the next day after..."
"Stop" he cut me off "My apologies for interrupting. Obviously you had a lot of small adventures while staying here. But could you tell me more about your childhood?"
"When you say childhood I do remember one episode from the day when I started the school. I will never forget what my brothers said to me 'If someone will make fun of you, punch them in the face' "
"Brothers? How many siblings do you have?"
"Six older brothers"
"Interesting" he wrote that down
"W-w-w-what interesting ?"
"Well first of all do your brothers behave the same way as you do? For example: Do they something unusual ?"
"Hmm..."
*Flashback*
I was sitting in the backseat of our car, Rin in passenger's seat and Orachi (third brother) behind the wheel. Car didn't moved. Orachi turned on CD player and it started playing Cotton Eye Joe by Rednex.
"Why did you called us here?" I asked Orachi
"What are you doing ?" Rin asked too
"Orachi?" I called for my brother but he didn't respond. All he did was bumping his fist in the air to the beat of song.
Me and Rin exchanged looks.
*End of flashback*
"...No" I shook my head.
Time have passed. The party got halfway through. Some guest were dancing, others talking about politics, economy, the countries they had visited. The second oldest son of Sakamakis walked to the table where glasses filled with red wine were placed. He took one and touche it with his lips taking a small gulp when suddenly...
"Reiji"
...a whisper came from underneath the table which made Reiji almost choke on his drink.
"Reiji" I called for him again.
"What are you doing down there? Get out. This instant" He kneel down and lifted tablecloth.
"I'm hiding"
"Why?"
"Well that doctor asked me if after my death he could take my brains out and examine it"
"And what do you want me to do about it?" vampire sighted.
"Make him go away, because he's looking for me"
"You.." Reiji grunted
"And also...could you give me that plate of mini sandwiches. It looks delicious"
Reiji rolled his eyes while shaking his head a little.
"What are you looking at ? Orokana ? Heh so not even psychiatrist can help you ?"
"Oh choke on blood" I glared at Ayato who kneel down next to Reiji keeping his hands in pockets.
"You will regret saying that" He retorted
"Oh Reiji-sama~ There you are" the same girl from before walked towards our direction, almost flying. She looked like a child who saw a fluffy toy and now is running towards it. As soon as I saw her I got under table again letting down tablecloth.
"Miss Buchholz" Reiji said.
Girl made a little bow and turned her gaze to Ayato "Ayato-sama"
"Tch"
"It's so nice to see you again. I'm just glad that one of your's human maids let me in"
"Human maid ?" Reiji asked
"This tall, young girl. Brown hair. Red t-shirt, blue jeans. I must say as for human she has a nice facial features"
I folded my arms. A smile appeared on my face. 'Aww that's a nice thing to say. Maybe she's not-'
"But she's really noisy and annoying. Reiji-sama, I don't understand why are you keeping that lousy servant"
'Bitch' I frowned
"She's hear because of her blood and nothing more" Reiji added
I stretched out on the floor 'I feel loved'
"Is there something special about that livestock. If it's not, I advice you to get rid off her"girl said
'Hey, hold your bats, perra !'
"That's not for you to decide!" Ayato hissed
"Ayato, behave" Reiji scold him.
"It's okay, Reiji-sama. Princes of demon world should act like demons after all"
Snicker came from my mouth. 'Princes?!' To suppress my laughter I cover my mouth and took deep breaths. It hurts so much not being able to enjoy this.
"What was that sound ?" Reiji's fangirl asked looking around. Reiji and Ayato were standing there with unamused faces.
"Nothing...at all" Reiji said
"It was this table. And if it keeps making any more noises we will have to burn it down" Ayato gave a small but strong kick under table hitting the side of my arm.
"I see. So Reiji-sama" girl looked at vampire "I just wanted to say hello and thank you for throwing this party. Well but my invitation was lost again"
In some way it was sad but it didn't stopped me from giggling.
"Anyway, I hope we will meet later today. The orchestra soon will play The Second Waltz by Dimitri Shostakovich you remember, the one that I said would fit perfectly for our first dance. And maybe tonight you will give me a pleasure and dance with me. And also the carpet in the entrance hall should go away..."
Another snicker came from my mouth 'I don't understand why I want to laugh'. I heard Reiji sighting.
"MissBuchholz, I said this many time and I will say it more. I'm flattered that you are interested in me but this feeling isn't mutual and so-"
"Oh, I'm really sorry for ending this conversation but I just saw one of my friends entering. Pardon me for my manners but I have to go. See you later, Reiji-sama" the girl walked away leaving Reiji in oh-dear-Lord state which made him massage his temple.
"Suddenly I'm looking pretty good, huh?" Both boys looked down just to find me laying on my belly between them.
Just when Miss Buchholz walked away, Reiji and Ayato was asked to come by some people. For a while I was sitting under the table. Why ? Because I was really hiding from that psychiatrist with all of his brain taking requests. From time to time when I had a chance I kept taking something to eat from the table. As I was eating my fifth sandwich, they were small by the way, I remembered what doctor said to me earlier
Flashback
"The explanation for your actions around Sakamakis, in my opinion, would be that you see them as your own real brothers"
"What?"
"Well judging from your stories about life before you came here, it seems that you see your brother as protectors, replacement for parents. I'm not saying that this is bad. For me is rare to see such close siblings bond. But I think that now you understand that when you came here you saw six brothers which instantly reminded you home. And this place in some way didn't felt strange or scary for you..."
End of flashback
He's right. Maybe in my subconscious I did saw them as my brother. That's why I acted so freely. But, I do feel different about them. And it's not brother-sister thing...well maybe with some of them...but...it's...Aghhhhh! I hate thinking to much.
"You're in my sleeping spot"
"Huh?" I found blonde vampire laying next to me "Under table?"
"You're not leaving this place? Could it be that you knew that I will come here to sleep and kept waiting for me ?" I took a big bite of sandwich and looked at Shu with confused face expression. "What a perverted woman" he smirked.
"Wha-" I said with my mouth full almost chocking which made Shu snickered.
"So, from who or what are you hiding?" I asked him when finishing chewing.
"There's to many loud people out there? I need my sleep" he snoozed of.
"...My reason is still better"
"And that would be ?"
"Hiding from psychiatrist who want's to take out my brain. That sounds unbelievable but I'm telling the truth"
"Not surprised. I knew that tonight will come lot of doctors. It was the only matter of time when you would show up and draw their attention"
"I would rather live without this kind of attention" I said as I started cleaning my nails.
There was silence between us. Inside of me there was a battle about should I tell him one thing or not. And knowing me, I chose to tell.
"Hey, Shu"
"Mmm..." he grunted letting me know he's listening.
"Happy birthday" and I gave him a small smile. Boy opened one eye curiously looking in mine.
"How did you know?"
"Oh. I overheard some people talking about that not so long time ago was your birthday. And I know vampires don't 'count years cause they're immortals but humans do that so...Happy Birthday" he didn't respond. Just kept looking at me until he closed his eyes and fell asleep
"Troublesome"
"How is that troublesome?" I asked myself "You know what would be troublesome for you? Me telling a ghost stories. Which reminds me, do vampires have their own ghost stories? Considering that your specie is scary enough, I was wondering what story, for you guys, is scary story?"
The next moment I know I was kicked out from the under table.
"Ouch"
I got on my feet and rubbed my back. Shu might be sleeping all the time and lazy but man, he's strong.
"A human?" From behind me I heard man's voice. When I turned around I caught a few glares from a group of people. They were looking at me with disgust at first but then it changed to curiosity . One man's stare at me was intense. More like hungry.
'Oh shit' I realize that I'm the only human in the room filled with vampires. 'Great'
"I didn't knew that tonight we will get this kind of dish" he took few steps closer as well as two others vampires sniffing the air "Hmm? What a pleculiar aroma"
I took a step back "If you wanna that's chanel perfume. And yeah, I have one of those"
"Not that smell you idiotic human" Now he was standing in front of me looking down with hungry eyes "Give me your blood" Vampire was about to grab my hand but I dodged his grip by taking few steps back.
"What ?! No!"
"Such insolence. Know your place, human"
I was preparing myself to dodge again or even fight if I had to. My fist were clenched but then a figure appeared in front of me.
"Ah.. Ayato-sama" vampire trembled
Ayato just stared at them. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder. Behind me was standing Subaru.
"Go back to your room" strictly but calmly he ordered me and without hesitation I did what he commanded.
"Okay, .Adiosamigos" and I went to my room.
On my way I met Yui in the hallway.
"Oh, Kaya-chan. Where have you been all this time?"
"At the party, under the table"
"Kaya-chan" Yui sighed.
"What ? I needed a hiding place from a psychiatrist"
She started giggling covering her mouth "Ah! I'm so sorry. I didn't want to"
"It's okay" I smiled
"So how's the party?"
"Dangerous place Yui. Filled with vampires and delicious sandwiches. Damn it, I knew I should have take that plate...Wanna go and steal some sandwiches?"
"Maybe not this time hehe. But I do wanna see how does ball parties look like"
"Hmm..."
"What? What are you thinking?" Yui asked me confused.
I looked at her and smiled. We walked down the stairs and I led her to where was the door to ball room. Through the crack we both looked inside.
"Wow " Yui was fascinated by the view. Sure, it was like from a picture. Women in nice dresses, hansom men and room itself was fancy.
"High society, looks wonderful but it can eat you alive" I whispered.
"Literally" Yui muttered which made us both giggle.
"Look at you, getting your joker side on"
Yui gave me a gentle smile and I turned my gaze back to what was happening at the party.
"Hey is that Reiji...drinking?" I noticed young vampire standing by the wall.
"I didn't knew Reiji-san drinks. At the dinner table he doesn't drink even tho there's a glass of vine. But why now?"
"Hmm?" then my eyes caught what it seemed to be the reason why "Miss Bu- Bu- Buch something" I thought. But she wasn't walking towards Reiji. She was walking towards the door. Where me and Yui were standing.
"Oh shit" I grabbed Yui's hand and dragged her right behind the corner where we hid. The women left the room and headed towards the stairs. I looked over the corner and whispered.
"She's going up stairs"
"M-Maybe she's looking for a bathroom?"
"No she's not. She's a crazy Reiji's fangirl and I think I know where she's heading to"
We waited for a few more moments and then went to the direction where Reiji's room was. When we were on the second floor we saw how she closed the door behind her. I quickly walked to the door and place my ear against a door.
"What are you doing? She will notice our presence" Yui panicked
"No she won't. The trick is: to not make any smell. Oh I think I'm hearing something... It sounds like a footsteps...and they becoming louder. Oh my God she's coming here. Aboard the mission"
But before we could ran off the door opened. With furious glare the woman looked at both of us folding her arms.
"...It's not my room. Bye"
"I know what your up to"
"What?" I asked her.
"What?" Yui was surprised too.
'What?' Even my so called other me was confused.
"You're in love with him, aren't you? And when you saw me, you felt that there will me a big chance of loosing him" My eyes were wide open. With every word she has spoken she took one step closer to me "You watched me, waiting for a moment when I'll be alone so that you could kill and have Reiji-sama for yourself, isn't that right?"
"Oh hell on Earth no. I don't have feelings for that lightning rod"
"You have some nerve to call my genius man like that" she showed me her fangs. What the hell I supposed to do. Can't punch her. She will cry. Can't run away, she's a vampire which means - teleportation. What is left ? Put on your acting mask and ACTION!
"You're right. Who am I trying to fool. I do have feelings for Reiji-sama" I acted all dramatic and stuff. But from a looks of it, she believed me. "It's so hard. It truly is. He said himself that I was no match for Ms. Buchholz" 'YES! I remembered her name ' "He said that even tho he's denying it, he does have feeling for Miss Buchholz" She instantly calmed down.
"He did said that?"
"Yyyyes. But right now Reiji-sama is working on some important science project and your presence would...disturb him. And I quote Ahem 'When I'll make a scientific discovery I will find that beautiful lady and marry her. It might take years or even centuries. But I hope that she's willing to wait for me that long because my love for her will burn my whole immortal life' end of quote"
"I'm- I'm- I'm so glad that our love is mutual. I can't believe he actually said that"
"Surprised? Me too" I scratched the back of my head "So whatcha gonna do?"
She took a deep breath and looked at me with not so I-want-to-murder-you look
"Well if it's true what you said, I will wait for him. I guess I do bother him"
'Ya think? Guy started drinking'
"Anyway, I will leave now. Maybe next time we will meet at mine and Reiji-sama's wedding"
"Oh I'll be looking forward to it"
And the woman disappeared. Yui walked to me.
"Well that I wasn't expecting but you did I good thing for him, telling her that lie"
"But right now I feel kinda sad for her. You know she will be waiting for Reiji and he will never show up. Well at least one of them will have peaceful life, I guess"
After party Reiji called for me. Because I disobeyed him and entered the party, even tho Ayato was the one who dragged me in there, he let me choose my punishment. Alcohol soften him.
"Do you wish to be whipped or do you choose clean the ball room?"
"Where's my damn broom?" I said and went to grab one. I filled bucket with water and carried it to the room. The floor wasn't shining like before, on the tables were laying dirty dishes and empty glasses. Without wasting any time I started the cleaning.
"Again working?" Ayato's mocking voice reached my ears. I turned around to find the boy standing behind me now wearing only his white shirt and black suit pants.
"Not exactly. I was about to exercise the demon's dirt from the floor" I took a rag and putted in the bucket "So how was the party?"
"It was boring but... then it became kinda...okay. Tch. Whatever I came here not for chitchat" He pushed me down on the flood pinning my hands to the sides.
"Let go" I struggled trying to free myself.
"Choke on blood? I told ya" he leaned closer to my face placing his one hand on the hem of my T-shirt's scoop neckline pulling it down. My now free hand instantly reacted and I slapped him across the face.
For a moment Ayato was in shock which was replaced with fury and anger. He grabbed my free hand and pinned it down again but this time tightening his grip to the point where it was hurting. It felt like he was about to break my bones into small pieces.
"I have saved your life from that vampire earlier. You should be thankful and give me your blood obediently." He grunted.
"Well you were about to take off my t-shirt! So off course I slapped !" I looked at his eyes for a moment ad he looked at mine.
"What?" I asked
"Tch. Why you have to be like this?" he rolled me over. So now I was laying on a belly. I tried to stand up but he pushed me down quickly removed my hair from that was covering my back.
'What is he doing?'
Then I hear a clothes ripping sound. My whole back was now wide open to him. Forearms tightly pressed to the ground. In this position was hard to move my body. After few seconds I felt something wet and cold touching my back's skin. From my waist he went up . All the time he kissed, licked, bit my skin and sucked the blood. Bites were more painful. Slowly I was loosing my blood which made me more dizzier. Plus, pain exhausted me too. By biting my lower lip I compress my whimpers from pain.
"Ow" the silent sound came from my mouth.
'Come on, endure it'
Ayato lifted his head and then buried it in the crook of my neck.
"You're buying me a new t-shirt" I said.
Vampire devilishly giggled "Still being yourself" he sucked on my skin before digging his fangs into my flesh. From the neck he could drink the blood with bigger gulps. At that moment everything became dark...
*For the ending: back to Kaya's flashback*
"Orachi !" Rin shouted but he still didn't responded. I had enough with it and turned off CD player.
"Kaya, what the hell ?!" Orachi protsted.
"You really wanna know?"
"What kind of song do you have ?" Rin asked from blue and turned on CD player and played next track
'~What is love ? Baby don't hurt, don't hurt me, no more~'
For a moment we were looking at the CD player and slowly started nodding our heads to the beat.
"Ya know..." Orochi said "...this makes me Will Ferrell. Rin - Chris Katta and Kaya - Jim Carrey "
