Vampire Love

Chapter 5

The next morning, Reiko woke up bright and early so that she can wander around the mansion. She got off her bed and went to her new dresser. It took her awhile to choose what to wear, but she finally decided to wear a blue top and a light purple skirt. She studied her appearance in her full-length mirror before leaving the room to go get some breakfast. After breakfast, she went to find Kai.

Reiko stopped when she got to the gardens and thought for a moment. Should I look for Kai later or just relax by the pond? she thought. I think I'll just stay here. Kai would probably be busy talking over things with Tala right now so I guess a little break wouldn't hurt. Reiko walked under a tree near the pond and dipped her feet into the cool water.

With Kai

Kai was staring out the window deep in thought when he saw Reiko walking to the gardens. He watched as she lay down near the pond and drifted off to sleep curled up like a cat. He smiled to himself as gazed at Rei's sleeping form. He opened the doors to the balcony and jumped down onto the ground without getting even a single scratch on himself. Then, he started to head over to Rei.

Normal view

Rei played around with the water with her feet until she sensed that she was being watched by someone. She turned around to see who was behind her, but instead her lips accidentally brushed against Kai's. Rei blushed and quickly backed away from him.

"Um...hi Kai," said Rei.

Kai smirked at her blush and said, "Why are you out here alone? It's not safe for someone like you."

"I'm still on your land so I'm safe," said Rei angrily.

Kai was about to say something when someone else interrupted them.

"Hey, Kai," shouted a redhead.

It was Tala. Kai had thought he had been too absorbed in playing with his video games to even realize Rei wasn't there, but he thought wrong.

"Good morning, Rei," said Tala as he took her hand and kissed it.

Rei blushed and quickly pulled her hand away from him.

"What do you want now Tala?" asked Kai gritting his teeth.

"Nothing. I just wanted to see how the princess is doing," grinned Tala.

Rei turned red with embarrassment.

"I am not a princess," muttered Rei.

"To me and Kai, you are a princess." said Tala.

Rei turned to look at Kai.

"You think...I'm a princess?" questioned Rei quietly.

Kai stared at Rei for a moment before looking away to try and hide his blush. Tala smirked as he watched the scene between his best friend and Reiko.

"Well, I guess I better get going. I'm gonna go see Bryan and the others. You want to come?" asked Tala.

"Who's Bryan?" questioned Rei.

"He's just and old friend of ours along with Ian and Spencer," answered Kai. "But you don't to worry about them now."

Rei nodded and pulled her feet out of the water to get up.However, as she got up she tripped over a stone and was about to fall until a pair of pale muscular arms caught her. Rei looked up to see the Kai had been the one who had caught her.

"Are you okay?" asked Kai.

"Yeah, I'm okay," she replied before pulling away from Kai's grasp and made her way back to the mansion.

Kai watched as Reiko walked back and wished she was still in his arms. Everything was silent until Tala decided to speak.

"So Kai when are you going to tell her?" smirked Tala when he saw the longing look in Kai's eyes.

Kai turned away from Reiko and gave Tala a confused look. "Tell her what?"

"You know what I mean," said Tala.

Kai just blinked.

"That you are in love with her," said Tala.

Kai glared at Tala. "I do not love her."

"Yes, you do."

"No, I don't."

"Yes"

"No"

"No"

"Yes"

"Ha, gotcha ya," grinned Tala.

"For the last time, I do not love Reiko!" shouted Kai.

"Uh, Kai..." said Tala.

"Just shut up, Tala! She is only here because it's for her safety. She is nothing to me, but a blood maker. I would never love someone who counts on others to risk their lives just to keep her from getting killed, so just be quiet about it. I don't fucking care about her!" shouted Kai.

Kai panted heavily from shouting so much and looked at Tala only to see a concerned look on his that was directed behind him. Kai turned around and his eyes widen as he saw Reiko standing a couple feet behind him with tearful eyes.

"So I'm just here, because I'm a blood maker..." muttered Rei.

"Reiko, I didn't mean to..." started Kai.

"Just shut up, I thought you actually cared about me, but I guess some things aren't meant to be." Rei continued before turning around and running back to the mansion.

Later that night

Kai sighed as he sat with his head resting on his hands. After what had happened in the garden, Reiko had refused to leave her room excepted for lunch and dinner. She wouldn't talk to him nor Tala. Once she was done eating, she would just go straight to her room and stayed there for the rest of the day.

What have I done? If I just said I did love her, she wouldn't be like this, thought Kai.

Kai was deep in thought until Tala came running into the room.

"Kai, we have a big problem. Reiko's gone!" said Tala.

"What?! How did she get out?" asked Kai getting up from his seat.

"I went to check on her, but when I opened the door she wasn't there at all and the glass doors on the balcony were open," explained Tala.

Kai quickly left the room to go to the room that Reiko was staying in. Kai slammed opened the doors and looked around the room. Tala was right, Reiko wasn't in her room and her balcony doors were wide open.

Hm...i wonder where Reiko disappeared to? Oh well, just wait and see.
