Chapter 1: An Agreement

The mysterious stranger had reddish colored hair spiked at the ends, with piercing green eyes. "Ugh! Your hair is in the way!" He says, sounding irritated, as he brushes her hair to the side. He leans forward to her neck, opening his mouth.

"So this where you've have been? You're such a disgrace, Ayato. I never dreamed you would do this in public." Said the man behind Ayato. He was tall and wore glasses. His hair color had a shade of purple-black with lighted purple-gray gradients. He acted and sounded more mature than Ayato. "Damn, not you, Reiji." Said Ayato, as he glared at his purple-haired brother.

"Why are you feasting on this mortal in public, where people can easily expose our existence?" Reiji asked "Hey, I was hungry, and there was no more food left in the kitchen. Besides, humans don't go out at night." Said Ayato defensively. "That doesn't give you the right to run off without permission. And, how can you be so sure a human won't come out and see you?" Akari tried to go to Reiji, as she didn't feel comfortable around Ayato. "No! You belong to Ore-Sama!" Said Ayato stubbornly, trying to grab her hand. (Ore-Sama translates to 'Yours Truly' in English.) Despite Ayato saying this, Akari went up to Reiji.

Reiji sniffs Akari. "Ayato was right." Said Reiji. "You do indeed smell good." He said, smirking. Akari looked at him with a petrified face. "Hey Pancake, you look like you have something to say." Said Ayato. Akari looked up at Ayato and said, "Hey, um, I really need a place to stay. Do you mind if I stay at your house tomorrow? I know it's a stupid question, really."

Ayato and Reiji looked shocked. "Are you asking us to drink your blood?" Asked Ayato. "W-what?! Drink my blood? What do you mean?" "Oh, that's right. We haven't properly told you what species we are. For we, are inhuman." Said Reiji. "We're vampires." Akari stared at them with shock but said nothing. "If you're planning to live with us, you will have to give your blood to us. You will satisfy our quench of thirst, by at least one of our brothers for each week that you're staying with us. If you want to leave we will let you, and we won't suck your blood once you've left." Explained Reiji.

"I'd rather get my blood sucked rather than, struggling to pay my apartment bills, working a side-job, AND studying for my finals. If letting them suck my blood is the price to stay with them, then I guess it's a better deal, then paying with real money." Thought Akari. "Alright. I've made up my mind. I'll stay with you, and your brothers. I'll check out, and pay for my apartment rentals, and tomorrow, I'll pack my things, and I'll meet you here at 10 pm." "Excellent." Said Reiji. I will be here tomorrow to pick you up to bring you to our place. Don't be late."

Ayato pins Akari on the wall. "This isn't finished yet. I didn't come for what I came for."Ayato opened his mouth, while Akari tried to struggle." Isn't Reiji going to do something?!" Akari thought while panicking. "Ayato. Take your activities to your room." "Ugh, Fine! You're such a pain!" Ayato growled angrily, as he glared at Reiji. "Anyway, it's getting late. Well, for you humans, it's getting late. You should go home and pack your things." Reiji said as Akari checked her phone.

"Oh, god! It's 10 pm already?!" "Yes for you mortals, it's late isn't it?" "Yes," Akari replied. "I will introduce my all brothers tomorrow, once you have arrived at our place. But, I would like to know your name so I can address you properly." Explained Reiji. "M-my name? My name is, Akari Katsuko." "Alright, Miss. Katsuko. I will meet you here tomorrow at 10 pm. Make sure to pack your things." Reiji reminded. "A-alright. But, before you go, how shall I address you?" Akari asked. "You shall call me, Mr. Reiji for now. You can call me Mr. Reiji, or just call me Reiji-Kun. I won't accept any other names." Reiji explained. "You will meet my other brothers at our place. But, I see you've already met Ayato. You can call him, Mr. Ayato, Ayato-Kun, or Ayato-San. You will call him these names." "Oi! Pancake! Call me, Ore-Sama!" Ayato demanded. "Fine, fine." Said Akari, agreeing to call him, 'Ore-Sama'.

"I must go home now. I'll meet you here tomorrow at 10 pm with my luggage." Akari said. "Alright. Don't be late." "I'll see you tomorrow Reiji-Kun." She said while walking away.

She arrived at her apartment around, 10:45 pm. She got out all of her clothing, electronics, chargers, and books, and puts them all into her luggage. Before she knew it, she fell asleep and woke up late the next day. She missed daily her morning walk, but she finished her packing.

She went through her day as usual. She got on the bus and rode off to school. She turned in all of History, and Geometry homework to both of her teachers. During Biology class, Akari couldn't focus. She assumed the vampire's routine and asked herself these questions.

"Are they nice? How many brothers are there? Do they all have different personalities? Which vampire will allow me to get close to? Which one of them will consider me as a friend? Is their house nice and clean? Do they allow, and have Wi-Fi? Are they affected by holy water, and crosses like in the movies? Will I still be able to attend morning school?"

She had countless questions, as she was naturally curious them. But, she did know the basics. She knew that during the night, they would awake. And during the day, they would sleep. Even though she wasn't sure whether she was still going to morning school, she did her homework anyway. Time passes, and at around 9:50 pm, she paid, and checked out of her apartment rental, and went on her way to the lake. She repeatedly asked herself the same questions from this morning. She felt self-conscious around new people, fearing that they would think badly, or lowly of her.

She arrived at the lake around 10:15 pm. "You're late," Reiji said in disappointment. Akari desperately wanted to say back, "Hey! Cut me some slack. I went to school, did my homework, packed up all of my luggage, AND checked out of my apartment rental. So, don't get angry at me for being late, when all you did was sleep all day." But, she knew she was going to get in trouble, so she muttered a quiet, "I'm sorry Reiji-Kun."

Reiji picked up her luggage and carried it to the trunk of the limo. She thanked him and got inside the limo. For the first time in her life, she would be living with multiple people, rather than herself.
