I just finished reading G.A for the third time. I can't get over it, it's simply the BEST manga ever. I think I fall in love with Natsume even more. My heart always skipped a bit when he said, "For the woman I love"…Come one they are 12 years old in that moment! Anyway, who cares, I don't HAHA! I loved the entire manga!
Answering time!
an1nobara: I know it can be a little bit shocking haha! Yes, Nozomi is Mikan's great-grandmother.
lexy1989: Yes! That's Nozomi to Mikan. She's not immortal but she does have a past she doesn't want to remember. I'll explain that in a few chapters, thanks for expecting the Monday's updates!
montsetheotaku: Aww thank you so much. Your comment made my day! I LOVE plot twists hahah! I'm so glad you're enjoying the story and believe me, more plot twists are about to come.
nikinobara96: I'm sure Natsume didn't expect that outcome either! Thank you for reading!
*Chapter 4*
A blue-eyed vampire walked back and forth. He ran his fingers through his blond hair. He thought he had things under control but it was almost 9pm and Natsume was nowhere to be found. Not only his dad was definitely going to kill him but also he will be disinherit by him.
Ruka sighed, "Natsume when will you learn?"
"Speaking ill of your best friend?", a husky voice was heard. Ruka took a glance to Natsume who was making his appearance from the window. He sighed again, this time in relief.
"Thanks to hell you are here!", he said with a smile. He will not accept it but it was his mother side speaking. "Where were you!?", he asked seriously regaining his senses. It wasn't time for jokes.
"I'll tell the story later. Ruka I need to talk to you about something. It is serious" , Natsume said with a frown on his face. Ruka didn't notice it before. His friend was pale and was sweating a lot. What had happened to him?
He wanted to be told right away but he said the following. "You better tell your father your back. Come to tell me what happened when you finish, alright?", he said with a smile watching his friend nod and then left.
"You can come out already", Ruka whispered.
He heard a door opening. "I'm glad he didn't see me", a female voice said.
"Me too. I still don't know what he'll do if he knew about your existence" , he said taking a step closer towards the female.
The female sighed annoyed. "You know, sooner or later he'll find out about me"
Ruka lowered his gaze. "I know. I just don't know how to face him", he confessed.
She only stood quiet until he spoke again. "He will be back in a moment, go hide again"
"So boring…", she complained rolling her eyes.
He smiled faintly and placed two fingers on her chin, bringing her closer, drawing her to a kiss.
After Natsume had explain the situation he was forgiven and asked to return to his room. However, he couldn't disappear from Yukihira's house. It would cause a lot of trouble if she finds out he left through a portal to the underworld.
"I'll be coming every night to explain the situation. Nevertheless, I will be staying at her house since you know how delicate the situation is", he explained.
Ioran was surprised by his son's statement. He was being formal and seemed to be really serious about it. He did accept his son's conditions and asked him to return to the human world.
"Before leaving", Ioran spoke stopping Natsume from leaving through the door. "I already have prepared your blood of the day. Take it right away"
Natsume walked towards his father's desk where a cup laid. He glanced at the liquid inside it, the same color as his eyes. He took it immediately swallowing the whole content, then wiping away the excess that was dripping through his fangs. "Good night", he said finally leaving the room.
Ioran sighed. Every day since the day his son was born, he has been drinking blood. He can't stop drinking it, only Ioran knows what would happen if Natsume didn't drink human blood anymore. He is a special case.
Once he was left alone he muttered, "Living with a human girl, huh?", He could only hope that this girl would never find out about Natsume's truth.
Because if she does, what happened to Ioran could happen to his son as well.
About Ioran's past, will discuss that later...
"Ruka", Natsume called, closing the door of the room.
"Finished the talk with your father?", he asked sitting on the bed, he gave a quick glance towards the closet, making sure she had hidden already.
"Look, what I'm about to say is dead serious" , his friend started, drawing all his attention back to him.
Ruka flinched when he met his crimson eyes. They were darker than usual. "I'm listening"
"Due to an accident, I'm living with a girl in the human world", Ruka's eyes widened but Natsume kept talking. "She had a resemblance with Nozomi, quite a huge one actually. It turned out that Nozomi is her great-grandmother."
Ruka nodded understanding the situation. He was a well-known scientist after all, he knew alot about the humans and their descendents .
"I want to break a vampire taboo", he continued.
Ruka gulped, knowing where this conversation was going. Natsume opened his mouth once more, "Ruka, I need your help"
"Hyuuga, wake up", Mikan knocked the door with a frown on her face. She was going to leave him if he didn't hurry up.
The door was opened slowly showing a tired raven haired one. "It's so early", he complained realizing it was only 6pm. Classes start at 8.
"I'm the class representative. I need to be early everyday", she said as a matter-of-fact.
"Then go by yourself. What would your fan boys think if I arrive with you to school?", Natsume said with a smirk.
Mikan's eyes widened. It was certainly true. What would she do if rumors about her being with this idiot start? No, she can't allow it.
"Fine, you better not get late", she said shutting the main door.
"Scrambled eggs are okay?", another voice was heard from the kitchen.
He only nodded taking a sit on a chair of the table.
He didn't feel comfortable with this family but knowing these are Nozomi's roots make him feel closer to her. Not only that, being with Yuka made him feel a little nostalgic. He didn't see Nozomi when she was Yuka's age.
"How was your grandmother?", Natsume asked.
Yuka turned to look at him slightly surprised. "Why asking such a thing out of the sudden?"
He sought for an answer, "Since I saw the picture yesterday I was wondering"
Yuka smiled towards him. "Well, she was the best. She was always so cheerful and full of life. That's what I thought but sometimes she would just stare to the nowhere with a sad expression on her face"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm talking too much", she apologized realizing she was in her own little world.
"No, please continue", he said politely.
He wanted to know everything about what happened after him and eventually find out why he left him...
Yuka smiled. "She married my grandfather when she was twenty-six. Mom would always say it wasn't a happy marriage. It was like if she was forced to marry him. But after the years passed, I guess they simply fell in love with each other and the fights stopped"
Natsume felt a pain in his heart. "One thing I'll never forget is when my grandfather died. I was twenty years old. She didn't want to move from bed or even eat. The last day I saw her, she was sleeping soundly. And between her lips, a few apologizes went through. Next day she died."
Yuka shook his head. Why was she telling a stranger all of this? It was so weird, like if she could tell him anything. Like if they have met before.
"I'm sorry I ended up with such a sad story!", she laughed slightly turning his gaze to Natsume.
"Breakfast was delicious", he thanked. "I'll be late if I don't leave now", he stated taking his shoes and leaving through the door.
Yuka stood quiet for a few minutes until she reached out for her cellphone, dealing a number she hadn't called in a few months. When the other line answered she took a big breath, "Mom, I would like to talk to you about something"
*Flashback*
"Ne, Natsu. When I turn 80 years old, would you still look the way you do right now?", Nozomi asked brushing her long straight brunette hair.
"Even if I turn 100 I'll still look like this", Natsume assured from his desk where he was writting some papers for the company.
"Will you still think I'm pretty even when I'm an 80 year old grandma?", Nozomi asked with a serious look on her face.
Natsume stopped writting and looked for her hazel eyes. "I won't", he said as serious as her.
She frowned crossing her hands. "Mean vampire"
He rolled his eyes. "Even if you were an 80 year old grandma I would still love you", he said in defeat.
She smiled brightly, "I will love you as well when you're an 80 year old vampire"
He raised a brow, "Then you better keep that promise"
*End of Flashback*
He closed the door taking slow steps towards his school. While a single tear rolled through his cheek silently.
You can't keep a promise, Nozomi...
"Ruka, I need your help", His words kept spinning around his head. What his friend was asking was way too much. He knew thanks to his experience that it wasn't impossible, but what if his father found out of this? He will not only kick Natsume out of the company but also would do the same to him.
He shivered by the thought. He's not like Natsume at all, he can't leave the underworld. Not now that he needs to protect her.
And speaking of which, she was sleeping soundlessly in his bed. He could only sigh when he looked at her. How could he tell Natsume about it?
He looked at his clock again, knowing he still had time before she wakes up. After all, she's not a complete vampire.
He stood up and closed the door silently, locking it. Nobody could see her after all. He laughed slightly only thinking about what would happen to him if the other vampires knew about her existence. However, he couldn't do anything anymore. He wouldn't change a thing anyway.
He arrived to Natsume's ex-office; aka, his new office now. He stood in front of his library and took many books with him. He blew the front page to get rid of the dust accumulated through the years.
He was relieved when he found the book he needed. He dusted off a little bit more with his hand, until the front page was clean enough to the topic to be read.
"Vampire Taboo: Reincarnation."
