Chapter 3

Mimiru's head swam as she finally came to. She looked around and sat upright immediately. She was in a beautiful silver decorated room, with midnight blue silk curtains and everything looked majestic and mystical. Seeing as how she was all well rested there was only one possible thing that she could do at this point…jump on the bed! Then she began to yell uncontrollably.

"Oh my fucking God! This bed is so freaking' bouncy! Oh! And look!" she yelled as she ran over to the dresser, "there are so many things in here!" Mimiru looked at all the crystals. "They're so pretty," she whispered.

"Aren't they?" asked a voice. Mimiru spun around to see the same dark blue haired girl she had seen earlier on the roof. Mimiru took a step back.

"W-Where's Kyo? I want to see him," Mimiru demanded.

"Bossy little bitch aren't you?" Zhai responded.

"Sorry," Mimiru apologized, "My name's Mimiru Kirafuta." Zhai smiled and shook Mimiru's hand.

"I'm Zhai Tashio. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Like wise…so where is Kyo?"

"Oh, he's probably just getting a bite to eat, that's why he told me to keep an eye on you," Zhai answered. Mimiru gave her a confused look as Zhai giggled. "It's just that Seth's knock-out gas put you out for several hours and he was getting worried. I swear he would have killed him if anything were to happen to you. You've got a really good brother, you know? You're really lucky."

"Thanks, I—" Mimiru's eyes went wide as she suddenly remembered what had happened.

"What?" Zhai asked, seeming a little worried.

"That guy, Seth I think, he…he kissed me."

"Sorry about that. We had to calm you down, and Seth has a rather unique gift for it. So I guess you really can't count that as a kiss." Zhai smiled and headed for the door.

'Actually I didn't think it was that bad. His lips were so very soft…' Mimiru thought.

Zhai left her to take a bath in the room next door. It was a room with a huge hot spring in it, but little did she know that she wasn't alone…

Mimiru got undressed, put a black towel around her body and got into the water. About two minutes later she heard voices on the other side of the rock where she was resting on. It was her brother and the two guys from earlier.

"Hey, Kyo, was your sister always that…weird?" asked the green haired guy.

"What are you implying, Illius?" Kyo asked back, "What? Do you think my sister is weird?"

"No. I just…" he trailed off.

"You just what?"

"Your sister's hot! I mean really hot!" Illius said blushing. Mimiru then saw the red haired dude shift in the water and cross his arms over his chest. The others saw it as well. "What's wrong with you, Seth?"

"Nothing," he responded.

"Doesn't sound like nothing," argued Illius.

"Shut up, Illius. Juts drop it,"

"Make me!"

"Just leave me be,"

"Oh, I get it…" Kyo popped in.

"I said just leave me be, and don't you say anything, Kyo." Seth warned.

"What is it, Kyo?" Illius asked Kyo, completely ignoring Seth's wishes.

"I'm warning you Kyo," Kyo said in a cold voice, "Don't you fucking say anything!"

"Oh, please. Like you really scare me…your crush on my sister might though."

Mimiru gasped…a little too loud in fact. Kyo, Illius, and Seth all heard it and shot their head towards Mimiru's direction. Mimiru didn't move. They hadn't seen her yet, and Mimiru was going to try and keep it that way. Finally a miracle occurred when Zhai walked in and got the guys' attention.

"Hey guys, want to go hang out in the garden for a while? I got some new pics to show you that I downloaded," Zhai asked.

'Don't worry about it Mimiru. I've got it all under control,' Mimiru heard a voice say in her head, 'and no, you're not going crazy. It's me, Zhai…I can sort of communicate telepathically with people.' Mimiru looked at her, but she didn't look back. She mentally made a note to thank her.

"Yeah I guess," said Kyo.

"Sure," said Illius, "You coming Seth? Seth?" Illius turned around to see Seth had vanished. "Oh well, I guess he got out already."

Mimiru saw Zhai, Kyo, and Illius all leave a few seconds later, as she let out a big sigh of relief. She had almost been caught.

"I never picked you for the stalker type," said a voice behind Mimiru. Mimiru froze, then turned to see the red head, Seth. Mimiru took a second and finally saw all of his features. His hair was a dark blood red, as his eye were, his upper body was well toned and muscular, and there was a small scar on his left arm. She also noticed something way more strange…he had small black ears on the top of his head and he had a set of white teeth that almost looked like—fangs?

"Seth?" Mimiru mumbled

"Glad to see you know my name," he said as his face drew closer.

"Wh-what are you?" she stuttered. He smiled even bigger as their noses touched and he stared into her eyes.

"The real question you should ask your brother is," he whispered as his face bent down and he let his fangs graze her skin of her neck, causing her to shiver, "what are you?"

Mimiru's eyes showed confusion as Seth smirked as he got up and left leaving a very…er…hot and breathless Mimiru.
