THE TELEVISION DRONED ON AS THE DVD WHIRLED IN THE PLAYER. THE SCARLET SISTERS WERE ENTHRALLED BY THE SCENE.
EDWARD WAS SOMEWHAT DISMAYED, BUT MORESO PERPLEXED AS HE STOOD IN THE DOORWAY. THE TWO LITTLE GIRLS BEFORE HIM WERE, ACCORDING TO EVERYTHING HE HAD HEARD, THE VAMPIRES IN QUESTION. HOWEVER, THEY LOOKED ALMOST... SILLY WITH THOSE WINGLIKE PROJECTIONS FROM THEIR BACKS. HE COULDN'T IMAGINE HOW THEY COULD BE VAMPIRES, EVEN THOUGH THEY SEEMED QUITE UNDEAD AS FAR AS HE COULD TELL.
"THE MISTRESS AND HER YOUNGER SISTER ARE QUITE BIG FANS OF YOUR MOVIE, YOU SEE," SAKUYA EXPLAINED QUIETLY, TRYING TO AVOID DISTURBING THE GIRLS.
"WAIT, THERE'S A MOVIE TOO?" EDWARD WAS FAR LESS TACTFUL DUE TO HIS SHOCK, WHICH PROMPTED THE SISTERS TO TURN AND LOOK AT HIM.
A BLUR OF COLOR WAS HIS ONLY WARNING AS THEY 236C'D TO HIM, KNOCKING HIM OVER AND SQUEALING.
"OHMIGOD SAKUYA THIS IS THE BEST PRESENT EVER!" THEY SHRIEKED SIMULTANEOUSLY, EACH CLINGING TO ONE OF EDWARD'S ARMS. 'WELL, THEY CERTAINLY HAVE VAMPIRIC STRENGTH,' EDWARD THOUGHT AS HE SAT UP. HOWEVER, AT THIS EXACT MOMENT, REMILIA AND FLANDRE BEGAN TO STARE EACH OTHER DOWN AS A SMALL TUG-OF-WAR OVER THE CELEBRITY BROKE OUT. IT SOON ESCALATED, WITH THE TWO PULLING INTENSELY ON EACH ARM, CAUSING A FAIR BIT OF DISCOMFORT TO POOR EDWARD. JUST AS HE WAS ABOUT TO PUSH THEM BOTH OFF, SAKUYA PLUCKED REMILIA UP BY THE BACK OF HER DRESS AND PLOPPED HER IN THE CENTER OF THE ROOM.
"NOW NOW, MILADY, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE A PROPER YOUNG LADY AND HOSTESS. YOU WANTED TO EXPLAIN THINGS TO OUR GUEST, SO PLEASE DO SO."
"OH, FINE!" REMILIA HUFFED, PROMPTING FLANDRE TO MAKE TRIUMPHANT FACES AT HER. IGNORING THEM, SHE CLEARED HER THROAT AND PUT ON HER MOST POMPOUS AND IMPORTANT DEMEANOR. "WELL, EDWARD, AS YOU KNOW, THIS ISN'T YOUR WORLD. AS PRESIDENT OF THE GENSOKYO CHAPTER OF THE EDWARD CULLEN FANCLUB, I USED MY MANIPULATION OF FATE TO DRAG YOU INTO THIS WORLD FOR A VISIT."
"SHE DOESN'T REALLY MANIPULATE FATE, SHE JUST WAITS FOR INTERESTING THINGS TO HAPPEN AND PRETENDS SHE MADE IT HAPPEN. ISN'T SHE CUTE?" SAKUYA SMILED AT HER MISTRESS, WHO TURNED BRIGHT RED AND STAMPED HER FOOT IN ANNOYANCE.
"SAKUYAAAAA! STOP EMBARASSING ME IN FRONT OF OUR ESTEEMED GUEST!"
SAKUYA BOWED AND VANISHED, PRESUMABLY TO GO THROW MORE KNIVES AT THE WATERLOGGED BAG BY THE LAKE.
"NOW THEN, AS I WAS SAYING, WELCOME TO GENSOKYO. AS MUCH AS I'D LIKE YOU TO STAY, I'D IMAGINE YOU'D LIKE TO GET BACK TO YOUR BELOVED BELLA. IN THIS CASE, WE SHOULD PROBABLY PAY A VISIT TO YUKARI, WHO HAS THE ABILITY TO MANIPULATE... BOUNDARIES..." REMILIA TRAILED OFF AS SHE NOTICED THAT EDWARD WAS DISTRACTED BY PLAYING WITH FLANDRE. SHE BEGAN TO SNIFFLE LOUDLY, CAUSING EDWARD TO LOOK APOLOGETIC AND WAVE HER OVER. AS MUCH AS HE WANTED TO GET BACK TO HIS FAMILY, HE FIGURED HE COULD AFFORD TO SPEND A LITTLE TIME WITH HIS FANS.
IS REMILIA REALLY JUST A USELESS CRYBABY? IS YUKARI BEHIND THIS PREDICAMENT, AND CAN SHE HELP EDWARD GET HOME? IS MARISA SOMEHOW STILL ALIVE? WHY IS EVERYTHING IN FUCKING CAPS? FIND OUT NEXT TIME, IN THE SECOND TO LAST EPISODE OF A VAMPIRE STORY!
