Chapter 3
"What about this one?"
"Too small"
"This one?"
"Too big"
"Ok...this one?"
"Too shabby"
"You mean too shit looking"
"Ayame-san language"
"What I can say it in French of you want 'vous dire merde à la recherche' " Ryuu signed in annoyance in Ayame's sassyness, this morning they all gathered up at Kira's place again, after having a well cooked breakfast Kira pulled out her laptop onto the table in the lounge and searched for houses with the other's help. Since Kira's family is rich they could get a nice, luxury and expensive house, she thought that it was going to be easy since people love expensive houses but she was wrong. They had been searching for the last two hours and couldn't agree on one. Kira signed and sat leaned back on her soft area of the couch (sofa), she rubbed her forehead gently, the long search for somewhere to live had obviously given her a headache.
"Come guys we've been searching for a house for an two hours, just pick one!"
"Oh we would of already picked one by now, if Kei-san agreed" Ayame said while sending a glare to Kei
"For your information I picked a better house then you did!"
"Only because it had a pizza oven!"
"Hah? You got something against pizza?!"
"It's stupid to pick a house just for that reason" Ryuu stated, well he was kinda true but Ryuu it had a pizza oven! How many houses do you see that have one?!
"Oh come on!" Kei said annoyed "Are you saying that if there was a library in a house you wouldn't pick it?"
"..." Ryuu said nothing and Kei grinned, he had caught him in his game!
"Where's Yui-chan again?" Kana asked
"Upstairs getting changed"
"No I'm here"
"Ahh!" Ayame jumped 5 feet in the air as Yui was suddenly behind her. She was dressed in a white blouse silky shirt with a black loosen bow and a black shirt along with black tights and black ankle boots, she also wore a small black purse with a strap that went around her shoulder. Ayame turned to Yui with a scared look on her face "What? When? Why? How?!"
"I can teleport, every vampire can" Yui smiled, Ayame hunched down to regain her breath since she used all of her oxygen for her scream.
"Just...just don't do it again ok?" Yui nodded and Ayame stood back up, Yui then looked at the rest of her friends.
"Found one yet?"
"No"
"Eh? But you've been looking for two hours"
"Well we have found good ones but not everyone agrees" Kira said looking at the group.
Well I guess that makes sense Yui thought, it would be hard to find everything that all of them would agree and be happy on.
"A-Ano...minna" The group looked at Yui who was twiddling her fingers together and looked down shyly "I-I was wondering if we could go to my old house today, there's somethings that I would like to get out and keep"
"Your old house?" repeated Ryuu, Yui nodded with a hum.
"Of course we can Yui-chan" Kira said "I've been wanting to go there as well" Ayame nodded.
"Yeah it'd been a year since we went there"
"It would be nice" said Kana
"I agree" said Ryuu "Good memories are there"
"Yeah" Mayu giggled at the truth.
"I'm up for it" Kei said with a smile, Yui smile grew wider by all of her friends replies.
"Thank you minna"
"Ehh no sweat Yui-chan"
"Well let's get going" Yui and her friends followed Kira as she lead them outside, as they got to the steps of her house a limousine pulled up. The driver opened the door and they all got in after thanking the kind man, inside the group sat safe and cosy as the limousine took off. Yui's old house wasn't far from where Kira lived so the ride didn't take long, only about 10-20 minutes depending on traffic, luckily today was a good day and they got there within 10 minutes. The driver once again opened the door as the limousine was stopped and parked, and once again the group thanked the man before he drove off. Leaving the group infront of Yui's old house.
Yui smiled as she looked at the familiar building, it was a medium size house, a bit smaller then Kira's, it was brown since it was made out of brown bricks and had double-glazed windows where there was the lounge and other rooms, it also had a white door. From the front it had small buses in a line on gradient stones which was the pathway and the driveway, there was also a tree that grew to a window on the second floor.
"This is a sigh that I love to see" One would say that Ryuu was happy to see the building infront of him, espically since he had a small smile on his face.
"True" Yui then started to walk to the house with her friends following close behind her, when she got to the door she pulled out a key from her small black purse and put it in the lock, upon hearing a click she opened the door and put the key back in her purse. Yui and her friends walked into the house, the open door brought the only light to shine the dark hallways until it was shut, luckily there was a light switch near the door which Yui flicked on, turning on the lights in the hallway.
"Ah that's better" Ayame said while letting out a sign, Ryuu looked at her.
"What, afraid of the dark?" he smirked, Ayame whipped her head at him and looked at him annoyed.
"No! It-It's just hard to see, that's all" She turned her head away from him and crossed her arms over her chest, Ryuu looked at her unconvinced.
"Oh? Really?"
"Hey! Don't go using sarcasm on me!"
"Quiet guys, I don't wanna listen to arguing" Mayu demanded, Ayame huffed and again looked away from Ryuu, she uncrossed her arms and started to walk along the hallway, stopping at the first door which was on the left. She opened it to too a small room with white walls, at the wall infront of her there was a medium size white desk with a black computer screen, to the right of it was a small black mat with a mouse on it and to the left was a black metal desk tidy. On the left wall was a window that filled nearly the whole wall, it had black curtains at the side.
"Oh, it's the study room" Ayame stated, she then turned to Yui "Is there stuff you want in there?" Yui shook her head.
"No, the stuff I need is in my bedroom" Yui answered "You guys and explore if you want"
"You sure?" Ryuu asked.
"Yeah I'm sure"
"I'll go help her" Kei said walking to Yui's side "You guys just get a look around before we leave, you said you were excited to come here again right? So remember some good memories"
"Ok Ok" Ayame waved off "I bet he only wants to be alone with Yui-chan because of that" she muttered, Kei looked at Ayame with not a very nice look.
"What was that Ayame-san"
"Nothing nothing!" Ayame quickly put her hands up in defense, not wanting to anger the male.
"Hmph that's what I thought" Kei then tuned to Yui "Let's go"
"Er, hai!" The group then went two ways, Ayame, Ryuu, Kana, Kira and Mayu went to look around the house while Yui and Kei went upstairs into Yui's bedroom. On the walk there it was silent, walking along the second floor corridor Yui found her bedroom door and opened it. Inside were white walls with pink cherry blossom paintings on, her white double bed which had a cherry blossom tree was on the right wall, walking further into the room Yui could see her white wooden wardrobe with matching chester draws, on the farthest wall infront of them was a window which was smaller then the one in the study room. It had white flowing curtains with pink flower petals. Yui smiled as she felt comfortable in her old room.
"It's just how I left it" Nothing had been touched or stolen which was a good sign but there was dust about, meaning it hadn't been cleaned in a long while. It made sense since Yui and her father hadn't been there for a year.
"It's been ages since I've been in here" Kei said as he looked around the room with a smile "We had good memories in here"
"That's right" Yui agreed "Me, you and Nee-chan played in here a lot didn't we" Kei then walked over to Yui, who was touching a door of her old wardrobe. Yui with her new vampire abilities could hear and sense Kei coming towards her but paid no attention to it.
Because he wouldn't hurt her.
"I don't mean the three of us" Yui turned her head around to find Kei right next to her, his chest very close to her back.
"Eh?"
"I meant us, the two of us" Yui blushed at his words.
"K-Kei-kun"
"Do you remember?" Kei had grabbed hold of Yui's upper arm gently to turn her fully around to him "The words I spoke to you before you left, the promise we made, do you remember?"
"Y-Yes I do" Yui's cheeks had gotten redder by the memories of them before she went off to live with the Sakamaki's. How could she forget a promise like that?
"Then...can it happen now?" He lowered his face, their foreheads almost touching.
"E-Eh? Right now?!" They were meant to be looking for Yui's stuff, not this!
"Yes" Kei answered "Yui-chan, I need you, I told you that before you left didn't I?"
"Yes, you did"
"Then please..."his voice was now begging "Let's go back, to the way things were" Kei let go of Yui's arm and put his hand under her chin and tilted it up, his face then began to get closer to Yui's, who got redder. Yui didn't know what to do, her body wouldn't move.
What do I do! If I don't do something then...
Yui found herself wanting to give in, her eye lids beginning to close, her hands twitching. Their faces got closer, their noses touching, just a little more and-
BAM!
Then that happened. The two immediately jumped which gave Yui the opportunity to get some space between her and Kei. Their faces were now red, Yui's more then Kei's.
"What was that?" Kei asked
"We better look" Yui answered, the two existed the room and followed to where they heard the sound come from which was down the corridor past Yui's room, they ran and stopped when they saw their Kira, Ryuu, Mayu and Kanato standing around Ayame who was sitting on the floor rubbing her behind, infront of her was a medium brown cardboard box. Above them the door to the attic was opened, a ladder came out from the door and went down to the floor.
"Ow ow ow" Ayame winced as she rubbed her behind, she had clearly hurt herself.
"I told you not to carry it down the ladder" Ryuu stated, Ayame glared at him and stood up.
"Oh shut up! If you actually helped me when I asked you too I wouldn't of fell"
"Now now you too" Mayu smiled awkwardly while waving her hands "Let's not argue"
"Yeah we didn't come here to listen to you bicker at each other" Kira said annoyed
"Well they always bicker wherever we go" commented Kana
"Minna!" The group looked at Yui and Kei who was looking at them confused.
"What happened?" Yui asked, Ryuu pointed a finger at Ayame.
"Someone decided to try and bring a heavy box down from the attic, it was obviously stupid"
"Hey! You also wanted to see what's in there!" Ayame defended herself while pointing at the attic "So I brought a box down for everyone to have a look inside"
"It was still stupid"
"Why you-"
"Ok ok that's enough you guys" Yui said, she didn't want her friends to argue, espically since she was vising her old home. Looking at the box she wondered why they would want to look inside it, there was nothing special about it was there? "Why did you guys want to look in the attic anyway?"
"We thought that there might be some cool stuff up there" Kira answered "There could be stuff that belongs to you"
"That's true but isn't it ride to be looking through stuff that isn't yours?" Yui threw back of them, she hit a spot and the girls hung their head low (anime style)
"Gomen Yui-chan"
"It's ok, just ask next time ok?" they all nodded. Yui looked at the box again and walked over to it, bending her knees she got down low and ripped it opened, even though it was taped shut. Her friends looked at her in shock.
"Woah! You just ripped it open with your bare hands!" Ayame said
"Another vampire ability?" Yui nodded at Ryuu.
"Yes, all vampires have inhuman strength"
"Wow" Kira. Mayu and Kana just stared in awe, they weren't scared, just amazed.
Yui looked inside of the box to find printed put photos, she gathered a pile in her hands and searched through them, they were images of Yui's childhood, where she was young and playing around with her friends and family. She smiled as each photo brought back a good memory.
"Ah, there old photo's" Ryuu stated "I assume you would want to take those with you"
"Yes please"
"Wanna go up there and see what else there is?" Mayu asked, Yui nodded. Yui climbed up the ladder with her friends going behind her, she and her friends soon rested on the floor of the attic, the room wasn't small but then again wasn't big, there was enough space to fit all of them in and still have a lot of room but they had to crawl on their knees to get somewhere. It was filled with boxes, shapes of all sizes, luckily there was a pathway going straight in the middle, letting people go up and down the room.
"Woah there's a whole load!" they started to go to the boxes and open them up, the boxes either contained something different from the last one or had the same. Kana opened a box and squealed as she saw what was in it, she picked one of the soft objects and held it up high with her hands.
"Look Yui-chan! It's Mieko!" Mieko was a golden stuffed teddy bear that Yui owned, Kana along with the other girls loved it and played with it whenever they stayed at Yui's, they would have tea parties and have Mieko as the main guest. Looking at Kana and seeing Mieko in her hands made Yui smiled brightly.
"Mieko!" Yui went over to Kana and knelt down besides her. The other girls looked over from their spots as soon as they heard the word 'Mieko'.
"Eh~ Mieko-chan?" Kira also went to Kana and Yui along with Mayu and Ayame.
"It's been a while since I've seen her" Mayu said as she held the bear in her hands "She's still soft"
"And dusty" Ayame commented "She needs a wash, we'll give her one when we get back" Mayu nodded and handed Mieko back to Kana who gently took it and placed it on the ground near the box, she looked inside the box again to find small outfits.
"Ah her clothes are in here two"
"We'll wash them as well" Ayame said as she opened a box, Kana put Mieko pack in the box and decided to look through another box which was near the one she just opened. Yui then opened a box to find a number of cd album's about hymns which her father collected, she smiled as she recalled memories of her, her father, Koneko and children singing them, they always had fun and created joyful memories.
"I guess that we're going to take all of these" Ryuu stated as he watched Kira and the girls leave boxes open to show that they we're taking them back.
"Looks like it" Keu said "Where are we going to put all of this?"
"In the house we're going to live in" Mayu answered the blue eyed man.
"We haven't bought one yet Mayu-san"
"I told you that we had to decide this morning" Kira reminded them "But you lots just couldn't decide"
"It's hard ok!" Ayame shouted annoyed as she looked in another box to find a box full of tapes, probably recordings of Yui and them when they were little "Besides we all know that I picked the best one"
"Hell no you didn't" Kei said annoyed "I picked the best one"
"You only picked it cause it had a pizza oven!"
"You only picked yours cause it has a wrestling ring in the basement!"
"Enough everyone" Kana demanded as she looked at the arguing male and female "We need to pick a house now so that we can move all of our stuff in it"
"A-Ano we don't have to make that decision right now" Yui said
"Of course we do" stated Ryuu "The sooner we do, the sooner we can move in and get Koneko-san"
"Right, we have to have nice house before we can get Koneko-chan back" Mayu agreed "We can't bring her back if we don't have a family home"
"That's right"
"Minna..." Yui was happy that they cared for Koneko, she was happy that they were putting Koneko before them, ensuring that she must get home to a warm home with them. Her chest felt warm and joyful, a happy smile was placed on her lips.
"OK, I'll call a van to help us back this stuff, you guys decide what house we should live in" Kira then went to the ladder and got on it, before she went down she sent a glare to all of them "And you better not argue, if you can't pick one when the van arrives then I'll pick a house only for me and Yui-chan"
"Hey!" Kira went down the ladder and got on her phone to make a call for some moving house vans while the upstairs party had a discussion on where to live.
"What do you guys think?" Kei asked
"I wanna live in the city" Ayame said
"They're too noisy, I prefer the countryside" Ryuu commented
"Country side? It's boring out there" Kei said, Ayame smirked in triumph as Kei agreed with her.
"It wouldn't be too bad" said Kana, now it was Ryuu's turn to smirk as he got someone to agree with him.
"But we would be too far from the shops" Mayu said
"That's true" agreed Kana
"Why don't we live in middle" Yui suggested
"Middle?"
"Yes, not to close to the city and not to far away from the country side"
"That sounds nice" Mayu and Kana agreed
"I guess we could live like that" Ayame said, she turned to Kei who gave them a nod of approval, seeing it was all on him Ryuu signed.
"OK we can live in the 'middle' "
"Now all we need to do is search for houses there and decide on one" Yui said
"Good luck with that" Ryuu said while looking at Kei and Ayame "These two won't agree"
"He only picked it cause it had a pizza oven!"
"You've said that three times now, you don't like pizza's do you!"
Ayame shrugged "So what if I don't"
"I don't want to listen to you two argue again" Kana said as she placed a hand on her forehead "It's giving me a headache"
"You and me both" Ryuu agreed.
"Decided yet?" Kira was back on the ladder looking at her friends.
"We decided where we want to live, just not a house" Yui answered
"Where?"
"Yeah, in the middle"
"Oh the middle, yeah that's a good spot" Kira agreed "I guess it's better then nothing" the others agreed "The van is here along with some men that will help out, I want all of you except Yui-chan to help"
"Hai" Kira then mentioned Yui to come down the ladder, she did and they both went to Yui's old bedroom while the others helped the men put the boxes in the van.
"Kira-chan why can't I help the others? My strength would be useful" Kira didn't say anything and pulled Yui' hand gently to have her sit next to her on her old bed, Yui looked at her green haired friend who was looking down at the floor "Kira-chan"
"I heard" Kira said as she looked up at her blonde friend who looked confused at her "I heard the conversation you and Kei-san had"
Yui blushed. Kira heard? This was embarrassing for her.
"Yui-chan, I wanna know..." Kira was serious now "Are you and Kei-san getting back together?"
"I...I don't know" Yui answered "I just escaped from vampires, I shouldn't be thinking about relationships"
"Still, you and Kei were good together, very good, he treated you like a princess and you treated him like a prince"
"Thanks for the compliment" Yui smiled then looked down and her feet "I truly did love him back then-"
"He did too" Kira interrupted "He still does"
"I'm grateful" Yui looked back at Kira, an unreadable was on the blonde's face "I just need time to think about it, okay?" Yui then stood up and stretched her arms "I should be helping them, knowing them they'll be trouble soon" Yui then opened her door and looked back and her Kira "Come when you can okay" she then left. Kira sat still on Yui's bed staring at the now closed door.
"Yui-chan..."
You fell in love with someone else, didn't you...
