"Maybe it wasn't that good of idea to announce the war with..ugh...Laito" I sighed as I jumped off tree branch.
This all evening I was playing a game similar to Easter eggs hunt, only instead of eggs I need to find my clothes. Mostly my underwear. Okay correction, all of my underwear. Just this morning I opened my dresser's drawer where I kept all of my underwear and Boom. Everything was gone. Something told me that it was that bastard's, Laito, job. And maybe the note that said 'So it begins, Perra-chan' gave him away.
It's called hide- and-seek with your underwear. One pair I found in a fringe, the other one in bushes, the third somewhere in the forest. Oh, and to make it more interesting he hid some of them in Reiji's room. From the same room I saw my bra hanging on a tree branch.
"That's so childish camp thing"
'Look who's talking'
'I'm eighteen, he's over 300-something years old. My childlessness can be justified'
I kicked a rock out of my way. It was about 4 a.m. the sun was barely rising. I zipped up my hoodie. Because of morning coolness the garden was covered in a light fog.
"Aghh...I still need to find one more bra. And I'll be done with this"
Small rocks rustled underneath my feet as I walked back to the mansion. My mind was occupied with thoughts about the how should I strike him back. In a peculiar way, I kind of like this challenged. Just to see how good I can be. But still...
"That pendejo" I kicked one more rock out of my way into some bushes nearby. Suddenly a short squeak sound came from that direction. I froze in the spot, trying to see who is there or the worst case of scenario...what. For a moment nothing was happening, but just when I thought I was hearing things and I need more sleep, these 'Oink' sounds... Like those which miniature pigs do. And as universe read my mind, from bushes, slowly but with courage came a micro pig. Identical to the one from the movie 'Charlotte's Web'.
This is a pleasant surprise. Just in case, I blinked few times and rubbed my eyes because I thought I was hallucinating. But it was real. The pig sniffed around, probably looking for something to eat. Some mud and dust on his pinkish legs.
I slowly kneeled trying not to scare him off and from my pocket I took out a cereal bar and as silently as it was possible I opened it and took a tiny part of it and offered it to a visitor. I knew that pigs are getting scared fast and he might just run off. But I was surprised when the pig was coming to me, sniffing ground then air. He took his time to come to a treat in my palm.
"Hey, little guy" with soft voice I addressed him. The pig took a bite of cereal bar from my palm and eat it.
"You are different" I smiled and gave him one more bite.
As the time was passing he seemed to get used to me and didn't mind when I tried to pet him. This little guys was peculiar and weird for sure. Kind of like me...Does that mean that I just called myself a pig. Great.
"What would happen if I take you into my arms?" moving slowly, I wrapped my hands around his belly and tried to lift him just a little bit above earth. No loud squeaking sounds just the same cute oinking.
"I think we have vegetables and fruits in the kitchen somewhere" but then I recalled the incidents with animals that we had over the year. For example the war of opossum: The great stags tamer Teddy. And before finding this pig there was an incident with a pigeon. If it wasn't for me, Reiji would had cooked and eaten that pigeon. For one week I was calling them Ace Venturas. Hehehe...they didn't like it.
"Sorry, little dude" I placed the animal on the ground "But you'll be safer from wherever you came from, then here " I turned around and headed towards the mansion, remembering the pigeon incident. That was some evening. Reiji was preparing dinner that time and Kanato decide to 'help' him by keeping an eye on a pan in which were roasting onions. Let's just say he did what he was asked to but that doesn't mean he did something when smokes and burning smell started to come out form it. So he opened the window and left the kitchen for a moment and when Reiji returned he had a new feathered friend (pigeon) picking bread pieces on the table. The way he tried to shoo that bird away was hilarious. It was so painful to contain my laughter. The fight between the vampire and a pigeon looked...interesting. I wasn't sure who is afraid of who. But as always, I came to save the day for Reiji and managed to catch that flying thing. And because of that pigeon I broke two plates.
"If Reiji would had seen that pig, we would have a fancy dinner tonight" I sighed and closed the door behind me, entering the dark and cold mansion with no lights up. Cheap bastards, give us some light. I looked at a bra that was in my hand.
"This level is way too low. He's planning something bigger. I just know"
Something let out 'oink' sound.
I looked around and behind me I saw the very same pig sniffing the dirt in a plant vase.
"What the hell? How did you?" my eyes ran from the door to the pig and from the pig to the door. "Oh, you're good" I nod to the pig.
The animal stopped sniffing around and with fast little steps, walked down the hallway, deeper to the mansion.
One part of me knew that I should go after him, but that small, tho powerful other part of mine wanted to see how this will go.
'I should go after him'
"Oh, Perra-chan, my most beloved crazy person in this house. Just the one who I wanted to see" with spread arms Laito was walking towards me.
'Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit'
"How is it going?" he looked at what I was holding "Nfu~ I see you're having fun"
"Yes, it is delightful to run around the mansion and forest, looking for your underwear" note the sarcasm.
"Don't grit your teeth, Perra-chan"
Just with a corner of my eye I looked at the direction where the pig should have been but he wasn't there. With a little panic I looked back at Laito who seemed to notice the quick changed of my face expression. The vampire smirked from ear to ear.
"What kind of face you are giving to me?" he asked with flirtatious voice "Don't be shy, Perra-chan, tell me what does it mean" he came closer to me.
"I need to find a pig" I mumbled and ran off, leaving Laito with slightly opened mouth.
"Here piggy, piggy, piggy, piggy"
I was wandering around the hallways trying to lurk in adventures animal.
"If you don't wanna become the main meal you better show yourself~"
Just when I reached the entrance hall I saw the little pig climbing upstairs and disappearing from my sight again. I ran up the stairs and chased after the pig in the hallway.
"Yagami" Reiji's voice came from the entrance hall. I froze in the spot and even stopped to breath. Slightly biting into my lower lip, I hesitating whether should I answer him or just really quietly walk away. Run after a pig or go to Reiji? That's the question.
"Yagami, I know you are there"
"Tch"
I surprised myself letting out this sound. That's usually what Ayato and Subaru do a lot. They're getting into my head.
"You got me. How can I help?" I leaned over the railing.
Reiji did his trademark glass fixing thing and folded his arms.
"Carry to explain why you were making noises in the mansion"
"Let me ask you one question. What would you do if your underwear would be hidden in every part of the mansion?"
Reiji sighed and closed his eyes "I told you to not star this battle with Laito"
"He will curse his tongue the day when he declared this war"
"Actually, it was you who started it"
"But he gave me the push"
While me and Reiji were talking I didn't realized that the pig came closer to me sniffing the carpeted floor and let out a few 'oink' sounds, which, unfortunately, Reiji heard.
The vampire opened his eyes and with curiosity looked at me and then tried to see if there's someone in the hallway.
"What was that sound?"
"Uuumm...me"
The pig oinked again and as soon as I heard it, I did the same.
"..."
"..."
"Just go to your room"
"Okay"
Reiji went his own way while I grabbed the pig and headed to Yui's room.
Knock knock knock "Yui" knock knock knock "Yui" knock knock knock "Yui"
With a creek the door was opened by the blond girl.
"Kaya-chan..." she noticed the pig.
"Hey, wanna hear a fun story?" I entered her room fast and before closing it Yui scooped the corridor. She looked back at me, smiling like a moron with a pig in my hands.
"Where did you find this?" she came closer examining the creature.
"Oh, me and Maurice, met half an hour ago"
"You named it?"
"Yes, that's why we can't let any of the Sakamakis know. Especially Reiji. Remember the pigeon incident?"
"I do. But don't you think it would be wise to let him go to where he came from?"
The pig oinked.
"I told you, I already gave him a name. And believe it or not but I think Maurice is a genius"
Yui looked from me to Maurice and let out a small laugh. She brought her hand up and petted the pig.
"He is adorable"
"See"
Splashing sounds echoed around the bathroom. The tub was filled with a warm water and bubbles. In it, the pig was walking with his belly reaching the water. Maurice tried to taste bubbles but one try was enough for him to realize that it was a bad idea.
I rolled up my hoodie's sleeves and started cleaning the pig, starting with his legs.
"I always wanted to have a pet" I smiled to myself.
Also this will be a new challenge called 'How long will it take for vampires to realize that there's a pig in a house?'. I hope it won't end up quickly.
While finishing washing Maurice, Yui came in with bowl of vegetable that she could find in the kitchen. I took a towel and wrapped the pig in it, and sat near the bathtub where Yui joined me as well.
"I hope he will eat this, I'm not really sure what is healthy for pigs" she scratched the bag of his ear.
"Carrots, lettuce, potatoes should be just fine"
I dried him off and let go of him. Maurice went straight to the bowl and started picking up vegetable pieces.
Suddenly a loud knock reached our ears, followed with annoyed vampire's voice.
"Oi, for how long this will be occupied" I recognized Ayato's voice which made my hear tremble.
"A-Ayato-kun" Yui stuttered.
"Be just in a minute" I replied as well.
"What? You both are in there? Heh" he snickered mockingly "Whatcha guys doing, should I join in?"
I furrowed my eyebrows and marched to the door, opening it slightly just for my head to fit it.
"We're on our periods. And sometimes it's a two-men job" with that I slammed the door and made sure that it's locked.
From the other side I heard Ayato mumbling something while walking away.
"Sigh...that was close"
"Maybe you should try to tell Reiji about this?"
"He will never listen to me. I need to overcome him in some other way" I looked at Maurice.
While walking down the hallway I got this paranoia every two steps that there will be a vampire around every corner. And with all this oinking that Maurice is making I wouldn't be surprised if any of those guys will show up. I'm not gonna imitate oink sound again.
The distance between the bathroom and my room wasn't that far but this situation made it feel like I needed to go across whole country. And with a stress of being caught, I tried to sense their ki or smell, sometimes overly used perfume.
Luckily, no one stood in my way, so I reach my destination safely.
"Okay, Maurice, say hello to your new home"
I let him down on the floor in my room and without any hesitation the pig started sniffing around and exploring the new surroundings. But I guess what interested him the most if there is any food under my bed. I would be surprised if there would be any.
Wiggling his tail, Maurice lifted bed sheet which was reaching the floor and made his way there. Like wanting to play hide&seek. Ugh..shivers go down my spine when I think about the movie. I'm sure that pigs don't have imaginary friends...right?
As much as I would like to have this inner conversation with myself on this topic, unfortunately my thought were interrupted by a loud knocks on my door. Adrenalin rushed to my blood faster then Kanato rushing to the kitchen after some sweets being served. I took a look to my bed where under it was Maurice and back to the door. I bit my nail and with a little hesitation walked closer to the door. But before turning the door konb, my hand stoped.
"Open the door!"
I was startled by the white-head's voice from behind the closed doors.
"Hey"
"Don't 'hey' me so casually" Subaru daggered me with his crimson eyes. The great vein on his forehead was making it's way to the surface.
'Wow. Somebody needs some senzu beans. Where's Korin when you need him?'
"Tell me" he folded his arms "How did you slept last day?"
"...I don't get it"
Today I had troubles falling asleep. For a good two hours I was rolling in my bed from side to side, looking at the ceiling, gazing through the window and then...oh. I think I get it know.
*Subaru's flashback*
The vampire was laying in his coffin with open lid this time which was a poor choice. Because the moonlight in a weird way effected the girl living next door. Since the hole in the wall was still under construction work, it wasn't hard for a vampire to hear girl's singing.
"~Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming, Back to the rule and I hit the ground running, Didn't make sense not to live for fun, Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb~"
*The end of Subaru's flashback*
"Wake me up one more time with your singing and I will suck you dry"
"I didn't know you were a light sleeper"
"Don't change the subject!"
From under my bed Maurice let out a sound.
"What was that?"
Subaru's expression changed from angry to confuse and looked over my shoulder, hoping to see the source of the noise. I quickly react and covered the view of my bedroom with my body. I still tried to kept that twitching smile like nothing is going on but I think that sweat drop on my forehead gave me away.
"Aren't you paranoid?"
"Tch"
"Sorry for waking you up in the middle of the day but if that's all, I have other issues to take care of"
"Hmpf" he putted his hands into his pants pockets and walked towards his own room. "Like your mental health?"
I walked into the hallway and turned to the vampire who was about to open the door.
"Hey! Just because I'm acting a little bit different, it doesn't mean that there's something wrong about me"
"You need a psychiatrist" he said before closing the door behind him.
"Over Chuck Norri's dead body, the last time when I met a psychiatrist it was at that ball party. And he wanted to take my brain out. Also, jokes on you, 'cause he was a vampire. And with that said, I can assure you that I will never ever go to the psychiatrist. Thank you" with that I turned on my heel and go back to my room. I let out a deep sigh before looking around for Maurice. I went down under my bed and every other single corner in my room.
Oh the darkness covered my aura with it blue-ish sickness covering my eyes with scenarios going through my head how we will be having pork for tonight's dinner.
"Oh God" I grabbed my hair "I knew shouldn't name that pig, why I attach to animals so fast?"
One more time, looked around the room hoping to see Maurice coming from his hiding place.
"Maurice?" with silent and hopeful voice I called his name one more time.
Without any break, I did a knocking session on Yui's bedroom's door. The girl opened it and looked at me with a concerned eyes.
"Maurice might be served tonight as a main dish" I spilled it out.
"What?"
"He ran somewhere. One moment he's under my bed then the other moment I was arguing with Subaru, then at some point I really wanted to watch Dragon Ball all over again and finally when I got back in my room, Maurice was gone" I finally took a deep breath in.
"I-I'm sure everything is going to be fine" Yui raised her hands to calm me down.
"...Yeah, you're right" I nodded " but we need to be faster then Reiji...do you know where can we find a rope and duct tape"
"For what?" Yui asked closing the door behind her.
"Means of safety...?"
Yui and I separated our ways and scouped around the second floor. It would be nice to know how to call a pig. Should I do the same thing when I want dogs or cats attention?
After some time of wondering around the hallways, the world of mine was lit in new colors when Maurice came to my sight. The pig was sniffing a silver armor statue. With now calmer heart I walked towards the animal. But of course, something just had to interrupt...
Ayato stepped out from his room. It wasn't my presence that he noticed it was more like the sound that I let out before even seeing me standing eight steps away from him.
"BhaAaAa" I bit into my knuckle to silence myself.
"I will never get used to this" he slightly shook his head. Little that he knows that I did not because I got scared of him...well maybe that as well, but the main reason is because Maurice now is standing just behind him.
"Never say never" I mumbled to myself and quickly looked at Maurice, who from the looks of it, was interested in Ayato's room. Maybe because it had that smell of takoyakis or something?
"Huh?! What as that!?" Ayato's hiss was a final push which made Maurice walk into his room.
"Ah crap"
The vampire came closer to me not breaking an eye contact with me
"You're acting stranger then usual. Ya okay?" he stated and started examining my face up close. For a moment he was so close to me that I could feel his breath on my skin. At that moment a peculiar feeling went through my chest.
'Did..Did your heart just sk-?'
"Nope" I pressed my both palms on his cheeks and pushed him away from me. He roughly pulled away my hands and grabbed one wrist.
"The hell do you think you're doing?!" He yelled at me.
"I should be asking you this question! Because you're oddly often grab my wrist like you wanna strangle my hand !"
I don't know from where but this wave of anger just came in. And I think it's the same situation for him to. It's been for a while now, when every time we meet it takes less then a minute for an argument to light up.
"Come on, yell at me louder, I dare you" he lowered his voice, taking a shaking breath in through gritting teeth.
"I fucking will!"
For a moment it was a silence between us just intense looks exchanging. I could hear how I swallowed saliva.
"Tch. Fuck you!" he walked passed me with loud steps.
"Oh yeah? Then fuck you, mate!" I turned to him and he did the same.
"Fuck you!"
"Fuck you!"
The fight didn't stopped and tension just kept rising. But it wasn't something new. One time we were kicked out of the class because of that. And the thing was the argument started when I said 'I would kill to get some donuts'. From that moment things escalated quickly. It burst out into a fight faster then I expected. Damn, this other time, Reiji kicked out both off us from the limo on the way back to the mansion.
"You're being a bitch!" the vampire cut the 'fuck you' session.
"Oh look who's talking! Saint Maria!"
"Agh, you're driving me crazy, Orokana!"
"Welcome to the club!"
The boy took one step towards me which probably meant that he will give some job for his fangs. But luckily for me he just clenched his fist and gave me a glare before leaving.
I folded my arms and turned my back to him.
"Jerk" I mumbled under my breath.
'Why are you having this hatred towards him?'
'Oh I don't know, maybe because he bites'
'So as rest of them...'
'I-I don't know...whatever'
In the meantime Maurice dragged some piece of clothing from Ayato's room. The pig was chewing on shoe tie. From all the stuff that was tossed around the boy's room, Maurice chosen the vampire's sneaker.
A deep sigh came from my mouth as I took away a finding from the animal and tossed it back to Ayato's room and closed the door.
Maurice oinked couple of times. Call me crazy, but in those oinks he had attitude like he was saying 'Don't go easy on that talking tomato, let me eat his clothes'...my imagination is going way too far.
I kneeled down and scratched the back of his ear.
"I think him seeing you eating his takoyakis would be more effective on this question"
"Kaya-chan...ah you found him. That's a relief" Yui came.
"Almost had a heart attack" I smiled and picked up Maurice "It was so close for Ayato to see this little guy"
"Still it's better then Reiji" Yui petted the pig.
"It's a debatable question. Reiji would tell straight away if the pig would live or not. While Ayato would use this as a blackmail"
"What about a blackmail?"
We froze on spot. It felt like time stopped and now we are falling down never ending hole. We didn't need to see who was this well-known voice owner.
I stayed with my back turned to the vampire and Maurice pressed to my chest closer while Yui looked at the purple-head boy.
"K-Kanato-kun, it's a pleasant surprise to see you" Yui stuttered.
This instant, I needed a plan. Something that would leave with no questions asked. That would immediately give me a reason to leave.
Kanato hissed with displeasure.
"Why are you two are so tense? Answer me. This is really bothering me and Teddy" he raised his voice at the end.
"W-Well..."
"Oh mY LorD!" I pretended to getting hold on my belly "Oh the stomach pain!"
Yui looked at me and back to Kanato.
"Kaya-chan is having stomach pain" she explained it to him.
"I see the light at the end of the tunnel!"
The blond girl placed her hands on my shoulders "It's been for a few days"
"Oh Jesus! HElp me, Father. Make this darkness and pain go away"
"Hearing those religious words make my ears hurt" the boy mumbled.
"W-Well..." a sweat drop appeared on Yui's forehead.
"Dear Lord, stop this pain or take my soul" I tried to send a message to Yui that we should go now.
"U-Umm, sorry Kanato-kun, but I must take Kaya-chan to her room"
"I feel my soul leaving this body" I said before letting Yui to escort me to my room. It seems that vampire doesn't suspect a thing. And the Emmy goes too...
Back in my room we felt safer. Come to think of it, it been less then a day and Maurice was almost caught six times. That's some luck he got there that it's even ridiculous.
"I wonder how would Kanato-kun react to Maurice?"
Yui thought made us both imagine the scenario of possible actions that might fit Kanato. In my head he was chasing after Maurice with a knife because he tried to chew on Teddy. Actually, each of them would react differently. For example Shu wouldn't care, Subaru would be irritated with oinking thing but probably interested as well. Ayato and Laito are brothers in crime or something; depending on situation they would blackmail me threthening to tell Reiji about this. And Reiji...well...he would command me to get rid of that thing but I think there would be a chance of him letting me to keep Maurice. But I'm not sure about it, so until the day will come, Maurice will be kept as a secret.
I was sitting on the floor leaning against the bed while Yui sat next to me. With her knees press to her chest she followed Maurice's movement as he was walking around us, under the bed and again around us.
"Now I'm having a paranoia that he saw that I was holding Maurice in my hands. But I tried my best to cover him with my body"
"It didn't seemed like Kanato-kun noticed, Maurice"
"I want to think that too"
"Well, I'm going back to my room" Yui stood up.
"Goodnight"
"Goodnight" she smiled and took her leave.
Well who's gonna go to sleep and who's gonna come up with a revenge plan on you know who. Laito.
His name echoed in my head with a bitter taste of disgust which was seasoned with anger.
He took something from me, so it's only natural to give the taste of his own medicine.
"Maurice," I stood up from the floor and pulled my jeans a little bit up "take care of this place. I'm going on a mission...at least you could look at me when I'm addressing you"
It was a ninja time. I was sneaking around the mansion, rolling my way from the wall to the wall while in my head 'The Pink Panthers' theme song was playing. I kind of like this excitement. I'm sure I would find to do some more useful activities to do, for example cleaning up my junk drawer, but not today. This is the matter of honor and pride and more honor.
At the moment when I was standing next to Laito's room, realization came to me that I didn't think this through. What if he's inside?
The only way to find out was to just knock on the door. So I did it.
No responds.
I did it again.
Same result.
"And so, it shall begin" smirking to myself I turned the door knob and stepped inside into a green carpeted room with a huge king-size bed. I have to admit it out of all guys, his room is the cleanest one.
Now, the dilemma was, what should I be looking for and where? The obvious solution would be to look into places where guys usually hide their stuff. It would be area around the bed. But no. Laito probably figured this out and replaced all his valuable stuff somewhere else. Ooooor he wants me think this way. But then again, he knows that I know, that he knows where I would be looking...
'Just check under his bed!'
'Okay'
I took commands from my inner voice. It looked like I would be able to fit under the bed, but it was too dark it was hard to see.
"Even under his bed there's less dust then on my windowsills. Then I saw a little wooden box placed where was headboard.
"Bingo" I said to myself and crawled deeper.
"You don't say..." I heard Laito's voice which made my heart beat even faster. But it wasn't coming out from somewhere in the room.
He was talking with someone right in front of the room. And if I'm not wrong, the second voice sounded feminine. Did he bring a girl here?
Well, whoever that was it wasn't my main concern. Half of my boy was under the bed while legs still exposed for auditory. From all this rush I hit my head twice to the bed slats. Just in time I managed to hide under the bed before the couple came.
The girl's voice sounded like a young woman's. Her heels made dull sounds against the carpet while walking closer to the bed.
"Just get yourself comfortable" Laito said with for him unusual voice.
'What is he up to?'
'...I can't believe we're sharing the same brain'
As far as I know, It's not a full moon today but crescent. In the book that Reji gave me long time, it said that when the moon is less full, the smaller need for blood appears. And they are not that active or sensitive.
The conversation kept going between two of them. In the meantime, I reached for a wooden box. I needed to shift a little bit closer. Trying not to make any noises I took the box and opened it. Inside of it was nothing expect a little note that said...'Dear Bitch-chan, I know that you know, that I know that you know that I know :3 Have a nice day, and keep on trying, Love~ Laito-kun'
'That son of a mother duck'
'I don't think that even makes sense'
While in my head I was cursing Laito, those two went for a first base. Judging from the sound, they were already rolling on the bed, letting out moans from time to time.
So he wants to play this way? Fine by me.
"Hey guys!" I crawled out from the under bed and placed my folded arms on the mattress.
The black hair girl's eyes widen when she saw me popping out of nowhere. She broke the kiss between them and shifted away, leaving Laito irritated and then eyed me with now confused face.
I just acted neutral with a little sassy look, using Laito's note in my hand as a fan to send him the idea.
"W-Who are you?" in the girl's voice I heard panic.
"Who am I?" I slowly stood up as I kept talking "Oh, I'm a believer. A believer in justice. And hIS chILd's MOther!" I dramatically pointed at Laito. "And OUr upCOming bABy!" and then pointed at my belly.
"I...gotta go" the girl got off the bed and took her jacket before leaving.
The room drowned in silence. Laito sat on his bed bringing one leg closer to his chest. He placed his elbow on his knee and looked at me demanding explanation.
"I don't know how about you but I had fun"
"I was about to have some fun with her but I guess you will have to take her place" with calm voice vampire responded.
"Sorry I will have to decline this offer 'cause our baby is calling for mama. A-di-os~"

*time passes*
The water was running into the bathtub. Other bloody napping was thrown on the floor. I was sitting on the edge of porcelain bathtub with a richly bleeding upper knee.
I got this injury while going for a jog. One moment I was running and the other one feeling a sharp pain. It was one big bruise with small cuts. Ridiculous.
I took another napkin and soaked it with a cool water before cleaning the wound.
"I can smell your blood all the way from the other side of mansion" Ayato came back after I convinced him to bring me a bandage. And to tell the truth, he helped me to go upstairs and all…that was one of those rare, caring gestures of his.
"What a surprise"
"Tch" he moved away my hand and with his own took the injured leg. I yelped at the moment when his tongue started sliding up my shin, slowly taking his time.
"Dude" it wasn't every day when a guy kneels in front of you and starts licking your leg.
"Shut up" he muttered.
But it was so obvious, he licked the traces of my blood, he didn't want to waste my blood for nothing. But my heart beat was fast.
He stopped when he reach the spot where the wound was, sucking, licking the blood. But it didn't end with that. He slid his lips up my thigh's skin. Just for a few seconds and then pulled away.
"There" he wiped the blood from the corners of his lips "Be thankful for this favor"
I mouthed sarcastic 'wow' and rolled my eyes.
"Vampires saliva has healing power..." he said almost whispering "...and your blood was going to be wasted"
"You're helping me, aren't ya?" I smiled.
"As if"
"...I thought you hate me" I spoke with a softer voice.
Just right now, it feels like, all these question, everything about him started doesn't make any sense, which was killing me. How come I think he's different? How come I'm starting thinking is every word that he tell means what I think it does? Is there a double meaning or hidden thought?
"I hate when you disobey" he corrected me "but...sometimes...when you shout...I find it...kind of..." the boy was trying to look for a right word to fill the blank space.
And then there it was. The need to fill in the gap between us. Was it because of the moment, or the fact that his hands are still placed on my leg or maybe I was losing my mind. Other scenario would be that Reiji putted something in my food. But whatever it was I just wanted him to...
"…Kiss me"
Ayato shook his head confused. He kept looking at me, thinking that he misheard.
"Orokana, is that...you talking or that voice in your head?"
"No. I'm saying this"
I leaned closer to him and placed my hands on the sides of his neck almost cupping his cheeks. The moment before I placed my lips on his, I paused and looked into his green orbs which were closed the moment when we shared our kiss...
*BOOM. Dream ends*
I woke up in my bed with Maurice sleeping on the end of the bed. I quickly sat up on my bed, heavily breathing and sweating, eyes were with the size of the moon.
Maurice woke up from the movements that I made. It looked similar to a seizure or something. I even stood up on bed and made 360 degree spin.
Never in my life, I was so confused with my feelings.
"What the hell was thaaat?" I dropped on my knees and pressed my palms to my heated cheeks.
The next second I know, I was knocking on Reiji's door like crazy while whispering his name non-stop.
"I swear if this is not life and death situation, I will personally make sure to make it like that, Yagami" The vampire was in his pj's, with messy hair and red eyes, he seemed to be thinking about fast and easy ways to kill me on the spot.
"It is" I was catching my breath "Something is wrong with me...mentally...I need a psychiatrist"
It was a moment that the vampire was waiting for. Like a symphony those word reached his ears.
"I thought this day will never come"
It was the first time when I saw Reiji so enthusiastic about something that involved me. Damn, even his eyes started sparkle.
"I will make an appointment for you"
"I feel offended and thankful at the same time"
