Anyway, hope you guys will enjoy it. Let me know what you think.
And stay cool guys :)
2015, December 19th.
The time pasted by quickly in the mansion. It seems like only yesterday, the children were running around dressed up in Halloween costumes and decorations still hanging in the stores and schools. In that time nothing really interesting happened besides more biting , Subaru terrorizing the walls, at least not my room's. Then Shu, well. He was doing what Shu does the best: sleeps in the most weirdest places and keeps accusing everyone to being noisy. One time Yui caught him sleeping in the kitchen, under the table. Okay, that's not weird at all.
Anyway, I also got exclusive chances to get tours to mansion's deepest, darkest places. For example, Kanato finally decided to show his doll collection. I mean why? Why? It was the only word I could say at that moment. And it wasn't like I followed the creepy-child-of-corns to the dungeons on my free will. Oh no no no amigos. Apparently, when I was sleeping ,Senior Teddy-libre took me from my bedroom and carried to his 'House of Wax' based doll room. Just imagine, you are in a deep, sweet sleep. Dreaming about being ice hockey team's coach in the big game. And at the moment when your player is about score final point and your all intense and stuff, you are awaken by a feeling of your face hitting cold, wet floor. And what I learned is: it doesn't matter who you are, but when you wake up in a room filled with wax-brides-dolls and some creepy-ass vampire child with a toy in his hands standing next to you and telling you with a calm voice 'I wanted to show my art work. Say, do you wanna become doll too. Kaya-san would look beautiful in white dress and glass eyes' oh Lord, I was screaming like a youtube goats while running for my life.
The good news is, I managed to escape. The bad new: I was in unknown part of dungeons. Oh but that's not all. I had no shoes. My feet were wet and freezing. Thank God that night I was wearing sweatpants along with long sleeve shirt.
Finally, I found a familiar part of dungeons and all the world shined with new colors of happiness and relieve.
For like ten seconds.
You ask what happened ? Laito happened.
I guess it was the weirdest encounter with him. At first he was like 'Oh no no Perra-chan, don't be afraid. I von't suck ya blood. Blah blah' which was suspiciously-okay...Until he grabbed me by hand and dragged to a torture chamber because he wanted to show me a new devices that he got. And if you know me well, you can imagine what happened when we reach a torture chamber. He pushed me to the end of the room blocking the only way out. I was like 'NO! Bad vampire. Laito, no!' and he was like 'Laito yes! Look at this toy'. He showed me some kind of huge tweezer-ish thing (Breast Ripper). I freaked out. All scenes involved me running around and climbing over tables while Laito chased me happily with the biggest satisfied smile.
Shit got more weirder.
He stopped and grabbed his chin with hand, looking up and letting out a short 'Hmm?' sound. I glanced at Laito confused catching my breath. Word for word, he said 'We can do this all day. Sigh.. Maybe if I show you how fun can it be...? Look Bitch-chan~' with the blink of the eye, he , for whatever reason, chained himself up to a nearby wall 'I guess I will take the first step. Don't be shy. You can do whatever you desired and fantasized in that cute head of your. You will see how fun it can be to be in situation like this. Feeling the pleasure of pain. So don't hold back and make me exited. And then I will do the same to you~'
For few moments it was quiet. Just letting all information to sink in and be processed.
'I will go get one of your brothers for this job. I bet they will be more then happy to do that' and without turning back I took my leave.
Just a regular morning in the Sakamaki residence...
I finished writing my little adventure from the day before yesterday in my journal and putted it back under the mattress. The clock showed 3:40 PM. Everyone in the mansions were still asleep and the sun was still shining outside.
I took a deep breath and rubbed my face with both of my hands.
"Again..." It keeps happening. Nightmares. They are disturbing and terrifying. Fortunately, it's not every night. Some nights everything seems to be normal. But it feels like I'm starting have a phobia to fall asleep.
After nights like this, the only thing that helps me to get through is coffee. Of course I'm trying to not overthink about those dreams. Instead, I'm getting my mind off by recording all evens that I can remember that happened to me since the beginning. Also I read books, learning how to do a split, sometimes I just walk around the mansion. Or just goofing around. One time I build a pillow fort. That was the most productive, fruitful evening.
Anyway, my head felt heavy and I really didn't want to get out of bed. But eating something should help to improve my mood.
I didn't bothered putting full school uniform. For now shirt and skirt were enough. I headed to the kitchen. My stomach was craving for toast, bacon and eggs.
I found everything that I needed accept for spices. Of course Reiji hid it from me. He told me that they are to expensive for daily meals and only can be used for monthly dinner party's dishes. And he's damn right. Those spices makes everything taste better and that's why I need them now.
"Tsk" I kept opening cabinets "If I were Reiji, where would I hide spices...under my bed?" I kept looking everywhere. "Oh. Bender's. Robot. God. Screw spices this is way more better!"
From the depths of the bottom cabinet that no one really uses, I found a radio. Without any wait I plugged in my newly found object. And it worked. Well it took few minutes till I found station.
~You're the light, you're the night, you're the colour of my blood~
"Are they serious ? Not this song"
*2.05 minutes. Later*
"~Love me lie you do la- la- love me like you do, touch me like you do ta- ta- touch me like you do ! What are you waiting fooor?~" I was using a wooden spatula as a microphone and sang my heart out. This song gets everyone.
Most of the songs that were played gave me shivers followed by flashbacks. The main person who cooked the dinner in our family was me. Well Mamoru (the fifth brother) in our family was the best at preparing mouth watering dishes but he's kinda lazy. I always sang while cooking. Sometimes Rin joined along with his guitar. At that moment I know which song he wants to hear. Since I called him Japanese version of Enrique Iglesias (the face features was similar) he decided to choose one of his songs. And since then in our kitchen-songs repertoire were one of Enrique's songs.
When the first sounds of guitar strings coming out of radio reached my ears, the flood of happiness and longing overwhelmed me. But because it was a habit of mine I sang either way. It's like the universe where playing with my heart by choosing this song.
"~Qué más quieres de mí, Si el pasado está a prueba de tu amor~" (Enrique Iglesias - El Perdedor)
It's funny. Enrique Iglesias songs never were on playlists. But some of the songs I gladly listen now because of Rin. He used them as a teasing tool at first but it ended up our tradition. I think one time Mamoru filmed us performing this song. I was cutting paprika. Next to me Rin was sitting on a counter singing his part of the song while Mamoru kept eating slice of paprika and swaying slightly on his feet, making stupid-satisfied expression.
"~No, no vayas presumiendo, no, Que me has robado el corazón, Y no me queda nada más~"
From a pan I took out roasted bread slices. When song finished there was a short pause before new song started to play.
But I heard a click and the music was no longer to be heard. I turned my head to the direction were radio was.
"Good morning Reiji"
The guy still was in pajamas, glaring at me with a little bit red eyes probably because he just woke up.
"Do you know what time it is ?" he hissed massaging one side of his temple.
I tried to act all cute doing a little dance "It's bacon and eggs time~"
"Be prepared for punishment at the end of the night"
"Obviously not a morning person" I mumbled taking a bite of toast.
"Ah~ Reiji, you have to admit it, Bitch-chan can put up a good morning show"
In the doorway I saw standing Laito. One more sleeping beauty with messy hair. Oh who am I kidding, even after tornado his hair would still look fabulous. Lucky bastard.
"Seriously stop calling me a bitch"
"But just a few moments ago you called yourself like that"
"I..."
*10. Minutes. Ago*
I was standing on a table doing rock dance moves.
"~I'm a bitch, I'm a lovers, I'm a child, I'm a mother, I'm a sinner, I'm saint. I do not feel ashamed~"
*Present time*
"That doesn't anything... H-How long have you guys been standing there ?"
"Long enough" Laito smirked
"Why?" Ayato came in too "Just why you have to get up so fucking early? It's been a month like this" he grunted.
"I have my own reasons" I replied taking plate with breakfast "No if I may , I will go to do the same thing I do every night gentlemans. Try to take over the world"
"Their's no limit of your foolishness, isn't it? " Reiji stated
"Y tienes la cara como una nevera por detrás "(And you have a face like the back of a fridge) and I walked back to my room.
Laito turned back to his brothers "She's so sexy in a spanish-mood" vampire said making inappropriate 'sigh' sound.
Back in the bedroom I was enjoy my early breakfast. It got darker outside. Trees branches now were naked, roses in the garden didn't bloom, the weather got colder and soft autumn wind was replaced by nipping one. Today is the last day before winter break. Usually at this time we would have ready Christmas tree, our house would be decorated and a little bit of snow should be fallen. But this year... Well, I guess in this household no one really celebrates the birth of Jesus.
"Ugh" I placed my hand on where stomach is. It felt like food was about come up and out. I felt a little nauseous. Probably because I'm not getting enough rest and my sleep routine had been unbalance this past month. After drinking glass of water I fell asleep for about an hour and woke up with slight teeth pain. But besides that I felt okay. All I needed was some extra sleep. That's why I think nap-time should be for high school students too.
I putted on vest and school blazer, took the plate with unfinished meal and headed down to the kitchen.
On my way I met Reiji. He glance at the plate and back to me
"Didn't ate much I see. If you do so then prepear yourself smaller portions. In this way food supplies are wasted"
"Believe me if I would had eaten all of this, you would had found surprise in one of the closets. And not a pleasant one" I asserted
"You got nauseous ?" it seemed that it got his attention.
"Just a little bit. Drank glass of water, took a nap and woke up feeling better... Don't worry I'm not with a child " Reiji tilted his head a little to the side "...And even if I am, then it must be the Holy Spirit's job"
"If in human world would walk other person like you, there won't be no doubt that human society will be drown in chaos and doomed"
"Sounds better then being drown in the sea of tea, cups, forks, knifes, spoons and suspicious medications"
"Don't brought harsher punishment on yourself" Reiji grunted.
"Sorry" I smiled and walked pass by him but then turned on my heel "Oh, and can I go to the dentist?"
"Dentist?" vampire turned his head towards me
"Sometimes my gums hurts and it's uncomfortable" I asked
"I will think about it. Right now just go and get ready"
I let out a grunt and rolled my eyes turning around and heading back to the kitchen.
The black-haired vampire folded his arms keeping his gaze on the ground. Next to him new presents came. He exchanged the looks with his older brother before heading out.
We reach the Academy. In the entrance hall Christmas tree was standing with fake presents underneath. Railways wrapped with red ribbons and fake fir branches. The outside of school was neatly decorated with mostly red and white Christmas lights. Finally, some holiday spirit.
After settling down in my desk I sighed and supported my head with my hand. I looked to the right where Ayato suppose to sit. But he wasn't there. I bet he's on the roof top or somewhere else. Just skipping class again. I wanna do that tooooooo.
The teacher entered the classroom and calmed all students down. Before he started the lesson, the door slided open and someone entered. At this point I was looking down at my doodled-bat drawings in my notebook. But what got my attention was that majority of girls began letting out silent squeaks and started whispering among each other.
'What the hell?'
"Yahoo~" I raised my head and saw a young man waving his hand to all students. Curly blond hair. Oh damn, I like those earrings. Blazer's sleeves rolled up. Maroon shirt underneath white dress shirts. Two belts. Knee length pants, socks and-
'WHAT ARE THOOOOOOSE ?!'
'Oh for God's sake, it's not funny anymore'
'Old is gold. Deal with it'
"Ah Kou-san" teacher greeted the boy "You're right on time. Let's see, take a seat over there" teacher pointed to my direction "Ayato-san apparently won't be participating in class so you can take his seat for now"
The new guy did what he was told to and headed to my direction and sited in Ayato's spot. From the middle of classroom one girl turned back and with a little blush on a face asked "Umm Kou-san, may I ask why are you here?"
The boy smiled and joyfully replied "Because of my job I missed some classes so now I'm compensating for what I have missed~"
From the other side of class girl whispered to her friend just loud enough for me to hear "I can't believe Mukami Kou is hear eeeehh"
'Mukami ? Hmm Mukami ? Why does it sound familiar ? I think I knew someone by the last name like that. Mukami. Mukami. Mukami. Muuukami. Muuuuuu...kami. Moooookami ? Moooooo...kami? God of Moo? Who works in farm that I know ?' (A.N. in japanese 'kami' means'God')
'Yo dude. Can you feel it?'
It took me a moment but then I felt someones stare at me and it was coming from ,surprise, surprise, a guy on the right. I turned my head to that direction and my eyes met with Kou's blue one. Other one was covered with his hair. I gave him a small smile and turned my gaze to the board.
"Hi" he whispered
"Hello"
The boy slightly turned his body to my direction "How come I haven't see you around in the academy?"
'Ohhhhhhh. Someone is hitting on someone Ohhhhhh'
"That's a great question that I can ask you too" I replied
Blond guy smiled "You don't know who I am, don't you?"
'Still working on that' "I'm sorry, but... no. Although, your last name sounds familiar"
"You might have heard it on TV" he whispered. I just looked at him confused waiting for an answer "I'm an idol"
"An idol?" I whispered
"Yagami-san" teacher interrupted "Tranquilo"(quiet)
"Lo siento" (I apologize)I shrinked in my seat.
For the rest of the class I talked a little bit with Kou and because of that I receive a few death glares from some girls. But everything changed when I finally remembered how I know his last name.
'Oh no. Oh no. Nonononononon'
'I know. That Ruki guy. A-And the taller-then-Reiji one. Shit! He's a fucking vampire ! OH MY GOD!'
'Run! Jump through the window! Now ! Don't think, just DO IT!'
'I'm not gonna jump. It's just a little bit shocking. But I'm okay. I live with vampires. It's okay. The only problem is that their species will take over the school if they will keep multiplaying like that'
'At least close your notebook with those bats. You idiot'
"Those doodles...you drew that?" Kou leaned a little bit closer. But his voice didn't sound happy.
'Too late. The damage is done'
Classes past painful and slowly. After first period Kou left. Most of the time my mind was somewhere else and added vampire-stick people in my notebook-doodle's collection.
The final bell rang. Just when Yui and I were about to leave to meat others, school nurse stopped me. Apparently, at physical examination day I was absent or in other words laid in my bed half-alive from blood lost. So, I said goodbye to Yui and followed nurse to infirmity room. The doctor did all test that needed. The only thing he said is to check my blood pressure because it's low but despite that I'm okay.
I walked down the hallway. All students left long time ago. Only those who are in after school activities still here. I walked up to the board where were written timetable of every clubs activities. Art. Drama. Basketball. Soccer. Singing...
In the past my brothers encourage me to go and join the choir. For improvement. But it didn't felt like it was something with what I would be comfortable. Their's one thing singing at home when you can go off-key and other when you must sing in front of the crowd. We all have stage fear but mine comes with inching-attacks.
"Huh? Basketball club. Right now they should have practice. Isn't Ayato in the team?"
Sure is. When I reached gym's balcony on the second floor I looked down at basketball court. The practice game was about to begin. All guys were in a black&red jerseys standing in positions, ready to attack. I scouted the court and it didn't took me long to find Ayato standing in the center. Well were else would he be if not there. The coach threw ball in the air and the game began. The room was filled with squeaking sneakers sound, ball hitting the floor. I had never watched basketball game before, but I must say it sucks you in. And it's getting interesting. I have always been watching ice hockey games but this is not too shabby. From my bag I took a bottle of water and drank almost half of it.
'I wonder, what would happen if I spit? '
The game was almost over. I was observing the game closely. In my hands I played with a bottle. Ayato snatched the ball from other player's hands and ran closely to the edge of court to the other side . I don't know what kind of magic or powers the universe used this time but this was the most perfect timing in the world's history. I played too much with a bottle and it slip from my hands. I still tried to catch. Attempt was unsuccessful. And unfortunately it landed on that one freaking guy's head who happened to be my nice, forgiving, gentle, vegetarian vampire. With who I live under the same roof.
"Oh dear Lord" I covered my mouth
All players stopped as well as Ayato. One by one, they raised their head up. Now everyone attention is on me.
"What the fuck ?!" Ayato looked up "You gotta be kidding me" he
"Hey" I gave a small smile and wave with hand "Can you... throw it back?" I pointed at the bottle next to him.
"You gonna die today, Orakana !" he grabbed the bottle and threw at me but I dodged like a pro. This little act of ours made teammates snickered and they just enjoyed the show. Everything was over when the coach came in and yelled at guys to finish playing last minutes while I took my leave.
