Chapter 5:

Aoi's POV:

I ran off after I heard Aya's scream.

Please God, let nothing bad happen to her. I plead in my head as me and Reiji arrived at the hallway and saw Aya being manhandled by Shu.

"LET GO OF HER!" I screamed as I ran to Aya's rescue.

Shu gave me a glare.

"What the hell are you doing Shu?" Reiji asked his brother.

"Nothing. I was just here being irresponsible as you always like to point out."

Shu replied with a hint of anger at Reiji.

"Aoi… Please do not be angry at Shu. He was angry because his dad was here earlier and started harassing me. He pulled me to safety and grabbed my wrist too hard. Please don't fight with him."

I noticed her wrist started to turn purple.

I want to be angry at Shu but I know Aya.

She wouldn't lie about this but if she was, she had a reason for it.

I sighed.

Shu went on his way but not before giving Aya a confused look.

"Reiji, can you help Aya with her bruise? I need to talk to Shu."

He nodded his head in understanding and I walked ahead searching for Shu.

A FEW MINUTES LATER:

I saw Shu in the game room, lying on the sofa with his earphones on.

"Shu-san, we need to talk." He noticed me and pulled his earphones off.

"Talk." I sighed.

"If Aya said is true, I should thank you but I want to hear the truth from you." I held his gaze.

"What happened?" He gave a frustrated sigh.

I know he is a spoiled brat like his younger brothers but he is not unreasonable.

"This is what really happened…" He started.

Shu's POV

FLASHBACK

I looked at Reiji's back as he walked to the living room with Aoi in hand.

He changed after meeting Aoi.

He would not bicker with us anymore.

He started spending a lot of time with her.

They disappeared as they gone inside the room and Aoi's friend, Aya was it?

Started pushing me to small talks.

I found out that Aoi was her childhood friend.

She started saying how lucky she was.

She also said something about Aoi's mother left without a word a day after she went missing.

I stared at her angrily as she said this and pulled her wrist and questioned her when dad arrived and started harassing me. She stood by me and telling him to stop telling things as he was my father.

He manhandled her and screamed. He then left as fast as he came and I tried to pull her up and then Aoi and Reiji arrived.

END OF FLASHBACK

Aoi's POV:

I sighed in relief as Shu finished his story. I muttered a thank you and left him in his solitude.

I walked to Reiji's room where he took Aya to look after.

"How are you?" I asked her.

"I'm fine. It was not that bruised" She replied, I nodded.

"Can she stay here for the night, Reiji?" I asked Reiji who is now cleaning his stuff that he used on Aya.

"We have a lot of rooms, if you're asking. She can stay in your room if you like."

I nodded and pulled Aya to my room.

She gawked on how large the room was until she noticed my bed covers.

"This is cute!" She exclaimed.

"Reiji gave it to me earlier today." I walked to my closet that was filled with clothes a day ago by Reiji's insistence.

"He really loves you, Aoi. Even a blind can see that." She said as she sank to the bed.

"I don't know Aya, He is very controlling per say. You don't even know what he or his brothers are, right?"

She nodded. I sighed and walked to the chair beside the bed.

"They are vampires, Aya. Not just Reiji and Shu, but his other brothers as well. Even his sister-in-law."

She jaw dropped with wide eyes.

"No way!"

"Yes way, but they are not just any vampires. They are princes. Their father, the one you saw earlier, the one who harassed you is the king."

"Then, you're…" I nodded

"Yes, a sacrificial bride." She looked at my solemn face and took my hands in hers.

"Aoi, do you love him?" That took me by surprise. I looked at her wide eyed.

I tried to process this.

Do I really love him?

Or just attraction?

He saved me from his father earlier.

He respects me now.

He changes his way for me.

Then I realized.

"Y-yes, I love him." Aya squealed in delight.

She knew I never had anyone or any boy I would say I liked in the least.

But Reiji he is different.

His possessiveness just add some charm to his handsomeness.

I now know I was in love with him from the very beginning.

I now know how to reply to his confession.

"Now that's been over with, how about you and Shu?" I asked Aya. She blushed and avert her gaze.

"Well…" She started fidgeting.

"Spill it out, genius." I teased her.

"I like him, okay!" She blurted out and covered her mouth after.

Aya was just like me.

In school, we were confessed to all the time, but she never dated thinking one day she would meet her prince charming.

Well now she did get a Prince but he is not so charming.

She had ten shades on her face but that was added more when Shu burst inside my room looking for her. I think he heard her.

"S-Shu-san?" She stuttered and Shu took her bridal style and carried her to his room…

I started laughing my ass off when Shu slammed the door but that was cut short when Reiji entered.

"What?" I asked him as he looked at me like I was a lunatic.

"I heard everything, Aoi. No need to hide from me." I blushed as red as Aya's earlier.

He came close as dangerously as possible.

"W-w-w-what d-d-d-did you h-h-hear?" I asked as I tried averting his gaze.

He chuckled, "You said you love me." I was about to deny when he kissed me.

It was once again passionate, demanding, hot and savory.

He pulled away seconds later and put his forehead on my own

"I need to ask you this:" He pulled away.

"Can you abandon your human life and live an immortal one and live with me?"

I stared at him blankly.

"You don't need to answer yet. I am willing to wait for you. But remember," I put his mouth near my ear and whispered "I am a very impatient man, don't make me wait for long." I pulled away and strolled out of my room. I was up thinking what he said and asked and an hour later slept.

A FEW HOURS LATER

I was up and feeling dragged due to lack of sleep.

I took a cold shower to awaken my senses and dressed up a few hours later.

I was finished when Reiji arrived and look at me.

"We will leave after breakfast. Come down and eat." I nodded and walk to him.

We walked to the dining room and saw Aya and Shu eating silently.

"Good morning, Aya, Shu." I greeted them. Shu nodded in recognition and Aya greeted back.

I sat down and eat.

When we were finished, we got into the car and drove to the city.

I saw my old school, me, Aya, Shu and Reiji got there. Me and Aya earned stares as we walked to the entrance.

Aya and Shu went to Aya's classroom while me and Reiji to mine.

Aya and I have different classes ever since we got to high school.

We walked there and saw my friends, Chika and Minoru.

Chika and Minoru dated for a year or two after entering high school. We were classmates ever since middle school.

"Aoi!" Chika exclaimed and hugged me.

"Ouch, Chika be careful." I said as she literally threw herself on me.

"Sorry, sorry…" She giggled and got off me.

"Where were you?! Minoru and I were worried sick about you!" She asked me.

"Sorry for not contacting you. I had some business to take care of." I said and she finally noticed Reiji.

"Who is that?" She asked me.

"My boyfriend." I simply replied.

"EH!" The whole class exclaimed.

Did I just forgot to tell you I was popular?

"Y-you have a boyfriend?" Now that is Minoru's turn to ask.

"She just told you, didn't she?" Reiji glared at him.

Minoru shivered in fear beside Chika.

"So are you going back now? Here to school?" I shook my head.

"No, I just came for a visit. I have school later this evening." This gain some questionable looks.

"You're taking night classes?" Minoru asked.

"Yes, I would be for a while. After that, I will marry." Chika gasped.

"M-m-marry? When? How? To whom?" She asked stutteringly.

"To Reiji, of course." I gave him a loving stare and I saw he too was surprise by my decision.

I left after answering a few questions and leave but that is before Minoru took my hand.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" I looked at Reiji for permission and nodded.

Minoru took us to the backyard and sighed.

"How could you do this, Aoi?" I stared at him shocked.

"What do you mean?" I asked confusingly.

"You just disappeared without a single word for 4 days and after you came back, you have a boyfriend and you are engaged to be married to."

"Yes, I disappeared for 4 days. Yes I have a boyfriend whom I would marry. Why does it matter to you? You already have Chika." I said angrily

"It's because I Love you, Aoi!" I looked at him shocked.

I confessed to him at middle school but he said he only thought of me as a friend, I was heartbroken but that escalated when he went out with Chika.

"No, you don't" I was about to turn away when he hugged me.

"Please let me explain."

"No! Let go of me. You already have Chika. I moved on. I love Reiji, I plan to marry him."

I struggled and he loosen his hold when he heard I said that I love Reiji and I broke free.

"After you disappeared, Chika and I had an argument. I found out Chika was cheating on me. I really don't mind and decided to end things with her. I never loved her. I always loved you. I was happy when you confessed to me in middle school but Chika blackmailed me to going out with her. It was pure torture. Then you disappeared and used that opportunity to end things. Please Aoi, I love you. I really do." I was shocked by what he confessed to me but it was too late.

"I'm sorry, Minoru, you're too late…" I saw Reiji approaching me behind Minoru.

"I love him, I will marry him. After this day none of you would see me again. I plan this visit as a goodbye." I approached Reiji who nodded then turn to him. "Goodbye, Minoru."

I walked away from him. And hold Reiji's hand. I heard him sob behind me. How heartbreaking it was.

We arrived at the car and saw Aya and Shu there. Once were inside, I asked Reiji if I could come to my house a bit to take something very important.

We arrived at my house which was an apartment near the school premises.

Reiji and I got there and I opened the door using the key hidden on the door frame.

I got in and walked to my room. I saw my room still intact but that is not that surprised me. Some girl who is about my age is there playing games…

"Who are you and how did you get in?" She asked me, the nerve.

"That is my line, I am Aoi, Nakagawa Aoi. This is my house. Where is mom?" I replied. She smirked evilly.

"Ah, so you are my new mom's bastard…" She stood on her feet.

"Nice to meet you sis, I'm Eri, your step-sister."

A/N: Okay fun fact, she has a sister... YAY! How would she react? Well can you guys tell? Review me and tell me what you think...
