Chapter four:
Kaoru quickly calms himself down as he sees Hikaru stirring.
Hikaru tiredly rolls over to look to his brother. "Kaoru? Is everything alright?"
"Yeah." Kaoru confirms. "I'm fine."
"If you're sure." Hikaru slightly mumbles before falling back asleep clearly tired.
Kaoru sits up completely awake. He glances to the window in slight thought. He closes his eyes tightly clenching his teeth at the memory of the nightmare. He takes a deep breath in through his nose then out his mouth. He opens his eyes calmer again. He takes off the covers and gets up heading out of the room for a bit. He notices that it's still a bit dark so it's probably not even time to get up yet. He wanders down the hall making it to the stairs. He spots something moving by the window. He curiously goes to check it out. He looks through the window only to gasp and duck down.
Just in time as the figure peers through the window.
Kaoru glances around trying to quickly decide what it is he is supposed to do. He doesn't have Hunnys martial arts skills. He isn't intimidating like Kyouya. He clenches his teeth trying to decide on how he should handle it. He can't leave his spot right now without being seen. He's going to have to wait for them to move. He then will have to decide if he'll go alert someone or try to take on this person. He decides that alerting someone will be a better choice. He waits listening to the other.
The person is heard walking away and Kaoru gets up rushing off.
Kaoru tries to hurry towards the staff quarters. He hears some glass break and his heart pounds. He feels like he's on adrenaline right now. He just knows that he needs to get there fast. He doesn't want to be caught by the person. He keeps going only to skid to a stop as someone steps in his way. He finds himself facing the person who was outside.
"Long time no see." The maid who stole from them when the twins were kids greets. She smirks a little widely at them. "And where do you think you're going?" She reaches behind herself possibly to grab something.
This causes Kaoru to take a cautious step back.
"You really think that I'd just let you leave? Let you run off to go to tell someone?" The maid questions then laughs. "Oh you are so wrong about that." She moves a step closer making Kaoru even more tense than before. "You see I know how loaded your family is. And I know that they'd pay good money if something were to happen to one of their family members." She pulls her hand out from behind her back revealing some kind of hand gun. "So lets be good and come with me before we have to do this the hard way.
Kaoru swallows harshly at this and he tries to quickly think of what to do. His mind screams to run but his heart is worried about the gun in her hand. He knows that he is in quite the bind this way so he's going to have to get himself out of this.
No one will come to save him. Not when they have no idea that someone had broken in.
Kaoru contemplates going with her even if it's just because he doesn't feel like getting shot. He notices her moving closer with a smirk growing on her face with each step. He has to make his choice now before it's all too late.
Before she makes his choice for him.
Kaoru blinks as he remembers something. He remembers one way that he can defend himself right now. He swallows harshly as the woman is getting a bit too close. He takes a step forward. He watches as her smirk grows to an ear to ear grin of victory.
"That's a good boy. Come nice and quietly and you might not get hurt. Or worse." The woman reaches towards him attempting to grab ahold.
Kaoru lets her grab his arm and he knows it's now or never. He uses her grip on him to yank her forward.
She stumbles clearly not having expected him to pull such a trick.
Once she is close enough Kaoru lunges forward.
She doesn't even have time to really react.
Kaoru opens his mouth wide revealing his fangs. He reaches her neck sinking his fangs into her flesh.
The woman letting out a sound of pain from what he did.
Instantly he can taste the blood swarming into his mouth.
Kaoru begins drinking the blood swallowing it down. He swears the blood has a rather foul taste, but he figures it must be just in his mind. He figures this because he reasons it's because he knows how despicable of a person she is. He can feel her try to resist but he keeps a strong grip on her. He keeps going taking heavy gulps of blood. He begins to feel her struggles weaken the more blood he drains from her.
The woman begins to lean more against him. Her body's strength is diminishing from the blood loss.
For now Kaoru lets her lean against him. He doesn't stop in the draining of her blood. He closes his eyes softly to try to block out what he's doing.
No matter how necessary this is it never gets any easier... Even when the person deserves it...
The two of them fall to their knees on the floor as Kaoru no longer wants to support her.
It doesn't take much longer before Kaoru is taking the last few gulps of blood.
The woman has fallen completely limp by now.
Though that is to be expected.
Kaoru's eyes open as it's pretty much done. He however doesn't really have time to pull his fangs out at that second.
"Oh there you are." Hikaru's voice coming up behind him makes Kaoru freeze. "I was woken up when I heard glass shattering."
Kaoru removes his fangs from the corpse that he lets drop to the floor. His heart pounding against his rib cage. He's been caught and there's no where to run. He can guess that Hikaru hasn't fully looked at him yet. He figures that's why he hasn't said anything about it.
"I couldn't find you so I got worried. I then thought you might have gone to alert someone... So I... Came looking this way..."
Kaoru knows it the instant his brothers words slow down.
Hikaru has fully turned to him and can see Kaoru with the dead body.
