Chapter 7 – Unexpected Visit

Nagato

I dropped my bag in our red sofa chair. I walked around our house's first floor. I turned my head on each direction. Something tells me... someone just came back. It smells... vampiry. I folded my arms to my chest and stopped in the middle of our house. Yuuki came down from the stairs, crying.

"Brother, brother. Mom says... Mom..." he sobbed. He wiped his eyes consecutively. I watched him walk closer to me. I didn't move.

"What's the matter...?" I said and knelt. I placed both my hands in his shoulders. I sniffed the air. It seemed like my brother wasn't going to talk. He kept on sobbing. I pulled a fabric headband from my pocket and placed it on my head. I removed my Rinnegan. I looked at him intently.

"What's the matter?" I said with the use of my Vampire Eyes.

"Mom said we need to leave. I told her I don't want to. She left just a while ago." he said with a hypnotize-like voice. I was shocked at what I just heard. My mom... left without telling me a thing. I stood up and left my brother sobbing. I went to the fridge if there was a note left by her... none. I went back to the living room and grabbed my black messenger bag that I use for school.

When I got to my room, it was a mess. Looks like someone went here without my consent. I looked at my desk. There was a note.

Dear Nagato,

Your dad told me that if I don't meet him. He'll kill the both of you. He told me to meet him in a hotel called Shibuya Tobu Hotel. The room is 348. What I need you to do is contact your father and tell him to take care of you while I'm busy.

Love,

Mom

I crumpled the note and accidentally burned it. Well, not technically, I burned it on purpose. I sighed. I went inside my private bathroom. It was colored blue from the tile to the walls. I walked over to my left and touched anonymous wall tiles. I pressed one and a button appeared. I pressed it and went out of the room. I went to my cabinet and got my laptop. I placed it on my bed. I lied faced-down. I logged-in on my YM account and waited for Father to call my laptop. It took him 5 minutes before he responded to my call. That button was to make my dad contact me.

Father: Nagato, what is it? I'm in hiding... still.

Me: Mom went to him.

Father: Lemme guess, she wants me to take care of you?

Me: Yes

Father: Even Yuuki...

Me: Yeah

Father: Uh... Nagato... what if I say... that...well... Yuuki... isn't really his son...

Me: What?!

Father: I'll tell you when I get there.

Me: GET HERE?!

Father: Yeah... I can't let you come here all the way to America. Bye

He ended the call.

Me: but--

I closed the laptop and hid it again. I went downstairs. I still had my uniform on. When I got downstairs, Yuuki was sitting in the bean bag staring idly into space.

"Hey!" I greeted.

"What do you want?" he asked coldly.

"Father's comin'"

"Really? I'm anixious"

I went to the kitchen and grabbed some food for the two of us. I saw a box of pizza inside the ref. It had a note on it stating 'eat this please'. It was a note from mom. I ignored it and sliced it up. I brought it to the living room and handed the other slice to my bro.

"Brother..." He was looking at the floor while eating

"Yeah?" I said and looked at him.

"I... eavesdropped on you while talking to... Father"

Why the hell is he calling my father, Father.

"Oh... it's fine" I ate one bite to make me ease myself. He takes a bite every time I reply to him.

"It's not that... He told you something about... me and Dad's relationship, right?"

"Well, yeah... y'ask?"

"... during the time... Mom and Dad were starting to like y'know make...me... Actually, Mom.. didn't know that... Father knew that his long lost little bro. was the one Mom was dating. So, he made sure Dad was secretly hidden somewhere. He used the Transformation Jutsu and turned into Dad. Making Mom think that he was Dad. Ta~daa!"

I dropped my slice on the floor. He seemed happy about telling me about it. I had my mouth opened a bit.

"So...... You're a....."

"Yep, I am a 100% Vampire" he smiled at me. Great, first I thought he was gifted. Now, I think this is a crazy family. I sighed. We were silent for a while.

It was about 10:30pm when I heard our doorbell rang. Me and Yuuki were studying in my room. I decided to get it. I quickly went down the stairs hoping to see Father by the door. I twisted the door and opened the door slightly. It was Dad. I was surprised to see him.

"D-d-dad... wha-what the hell are you doing here?" I asked. I was already in my pajamas. He was wearing a pair of pants and a shirt.

"Nothing... I came to collect my child." he said.

"but... you..."

"don't have one? Hehehe... I know... NOW LET ME IN!" he roared. He pushed the door open while I was pushing it closed. Arrgh... dammit. Yuuki came down. He was looking at me intently. He walked towards me.

"Lemme help..." He pushed the door without much effort and it closed. I shot him a confused look.

"Since when do you do that?" I asked.

"Long story... cut short... I'm a vampire" he emphasized. We heard a slow applause behind us. We turned around quickly. I shoved Yuuki behind me.

"Yuuki, stay behind me." I said. Dad was the one applauding. He entered using the back door. I summoned my 5 Paths. I don't have a sixth one yet. Luckily, the school ensures that their students have what they need. Even if it means to kill a person.

"So, Yuuki, how's life?"Dad asked. Yuuki kept silent. His eyes turned into slits.

"Where's Mom?" I demanded. If she was okay, everything would be fine. Father is coming after all. He shook his head.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Whether I tell you or not. Nothing's going to change, isn't there? Nagato." I nodded.

"Hehehe... She's... dead. If you want her corpse go to that hotel, it's my residence by the way." he laughed an evil one. I looked down I can feel my tears rising to my eyes. I controlled them. I faced him again.

"Damn you... HOW CAN YOU KILL HER?!" I screamed at him. My 5 Paths appeared and tried to kill him. After a while a familiar voice filled the air.

"Nagato stop it! Yuuki make him if he doesn't" he said.

"Yes, Father" Yuuki answered.

I was stop in mid-air making me bump into the flat-screen. I made my other paths stop. Dad had a bruise on his stomach and his left arm. The one on his stomach was bleeding hard. Father jumped down from upstairs.

"So, lil' brother learned your lesson, yet? I really thought you were dead but when the people with a close relationship to me were starting to get missing or start to die. I knew it was you. I never left the possibility of you being dead. After all, the first two sons... are always immortal." Father said while pulling Dad's hair.

"Okay, sons. From now on... call him Uncle Jet." I snickered when Father told us his real name. Yuuki laughed too.

"Hi, Uncle Jetty" he said. Father let go of him.

"...and from now on... don't call me Father... call me Hiroyuki. No buts." Father said.

"Why do we have to call you by name?" Yuuki asked while walking to my side.

"because... you're on your way to... manhood. Besides the rule is once the kid brother turns 10 you're supposed to stop using honorifics." Uncle Jet said coolly.

"Are you going to--"

"Hold a grudge against you? no... I'm supposed to teach Yuuki first before I hold a grudge. The council is going to kill me if I don't follow the rules."

"Council...?" I asked. Hiroyuki and Uncle Jet both sighed.

"We'll tell you some other time for now do your homework" Hiroyuki said. I sighed.

"Fine. Yuuki let's go" I said and carried him on my left side. He was struggling to get loose from me while laughing hard.

I landed him on my bed.

"Get to studying so that we can ask Father and Uncle more." I said jokingly.
