Previous Chapter Summary:

Yui was getting ready for the next class inside the Girl's Changing Room when unexpectedly Ayato came for her blood, and due to Yui's resistance, Ayato had decided to trap her inside one of the lockers.

Night 2

"Hide And Seek"

- Classroom -

Ayato slumped his head on his table. The second to the last class had ended. His classmates had started to become noisy while they were waiting for the next teacher to come in. Night class would be over soon and they were pretty excited to hang out on a Friday night, so chatting between classes for their plans later was a natural phenomenon within a class of young people.

"Tch! Humans." He groaned . He couldn't go back to sleeping, not now when the room had suddenly become lively.

Ayato had been napping in his classes, the whole duration of it to be exact. So many times had he been reprimanded for doing so, but he never actually listened to any of it. So the teachers, being tired of if it as well, would just allow him to sleep during lecture just as long as he doesn't cut class, disturb his fellow classmates, and more importantly, fail his subjects.

Ayato yawned as he propped his head on one elbow. He took his time to observe the room since he got nothing else better to do. His eyes first settled on the seat located at his right. It was empty. A grin suddenly crept upon his lips since he knew why.

It was just an hour ago when he went out to look for Yui, and then stuffed her inside a locker since she wouldn't cooperate as he wanted her to.

"Hm... I guess I'd have to get back to her. And she better be grateful for it too." He smirked. "That is... if I remember."

His eyes roamed around the room again.

"Heh?" He grinned as he eyed one of his female classmates who was standing by the window. She was talking to her friends but Ayato could careless about eavesdropping. "That one got great curves. I wonder how her blood would taste like."

'Ayato-kun!' His blood lust thoughts trailed off when Yui's voice came rushing through.

"Tch!" He furiously scratched the back of his head, hoping it would brush her out of his mind. "Yeah, yeah, I'll pick you up! Just not now!" He ended up saying to himself.

"Hahaha..."

Ayato suddenly heard someone chuckle, so he turned to glare at the person seating on his left side. "What?"

Apparently, it was his triplet. Kanato.

"Ayato's speaking to himself again. He's been doing it a lot recently. Isn't that right, Teddy?" Kanato spoke warmly towards his teddy bear. "Doesn't he just look pathetic?"

"Pathetic? Hey, I'm not the one talking to some tattered stuffed bear." Ayato retorted. "How long are you going to keep that thing? I thought you hated that woman who gave it to you. If you would approve, I'd gladly go burn it as you did with her."

Kanato's face turned dark as he darted a deadly look towards his brother. "Please refrain from talking such nonesense infront of Teddy. It displeases him a lot."

"What? Are you pissed?" Ayato pushed his brother's patience further. He just loved doing this to Kanato. Heck, this was one of those few moments when Ayato could actually speak to his brother, and Kanato would actually look away from Teddy to stare at the person he's talking to.

But to Ayato's disappointment, Kanato's attention turned from him and to the empty chair beside him. "That's odd. Komori-san hasn't returned yet."

"Who knows? She must have decided to cut class for a change." Ayato lied.

"Hm... I don't think so. She seems to like attending night classes. Especially during Takayanagi-sensei's class. She's especially into listening to his lectures."

"What? How'd you know that?"

"We noticed. Teddy and I. You're mostly sleeping in class, so you didn't. Right, Teddy?" Kanato reverted his gaze towards his bear again.

"Shit! That bitch."

'CREAK!'

"Hey, where are you going?" Ayato inquired when he noticed his brother get off his seat.

"I'm going to look for Komori-san. She must be playing hide-and-seek. Teddy wants to play too." Kanato responded as he walked towards the door.

"You're just wasting your time."

"Not really. Because once I find her, she'll have no choice but to give her blood as a reward."

- Girl's Changing Room -

Yui heard the bell ring. The last class for tonight had already started and yet she's still stuck inside the locker.

"Is anyone out there?" Yui cried for help. She's gotten rather impatient. She's been stuck in there for an hour and she feared she might actually stay there until tomorrow.

She banged on the locker door once again, hoping that it would miraculously open. But it didn't.

Yui then sat again and sighed. She tried humming a tune so she wouldn't get bored and maybe lull herself to sleep.

Waiting really is a difficult thing to do.

'KA-CHAK!' Someone had just entered the room.

"H-Hello? Anybody?" Yui spoke suddenly. "Could you please help me get out of this locker?"

Yui didn't hear any reply but she could hear someone pushing the heavy closet that blocked her way. And then the next thing she knew, the locker had already been opened for her.

She squinted for a few seconds. The sudden flash of light hurt her eyes. She'd been stuck inside a dark place for too long.

"Ayato!" Yui almost jumped to her surprise.

"Yo!"

To be honest, Yui thought he'd be the last person to get her out of there since he was the one who locked her inside there in the first place.

Little that she know that he was thinking the same thing. Ayato wouldn't come releasing her, not in another hour at the least, but he got seriously agitated when Kanato left the classroom to go look for her. But of course, he wouldn't let her know about it.

"What are you gawking at me for? Hurry up and get out of there!" He scolded her.

"Y-Yes. sorry." Yui then swiftly jumped out of the locker. She stretched her arms and legs to let her blood circulate properly and also to get rid of the numbness in her leg muscles.

"Ah, this feels nicer." She sighed.

"Enough of that. We're leaving." Ayato carried her up on his shoulder like a potato sack, and walked towards the door.

"Ah! Wait! What are you doing?" Yui squirmed, startled with his sudden gesture.

"We're going home."

"What? But we still have one more class tonight."

"Ha?"

Yui flinched when she sensed he was irritated. "I... I'm sorry."

"Tch! You should be." Ayato then opened the door and was about to step out... but he didn't.

"Ayato-kun? What's wrong?" Yui asked when he noticed him stop. She did her best to push herself up to look at the cause. "Ah, Kanato-kun?"

"Heh! It seems like I found her first." Ayato smirked, seeing his brother as soon as he opened the door.

"It would seem so." Kanato replied with his usual gloomy tone.

He went to find Yui earlier and when he already caught her scent inside the girl's changing room, Ayato had already captured her.

"Komori-san." Kanato called for Yui's attention. "Teddy's arm stitches doesn't look so good. We'll be dropping by your room after school so you could fix it."

"Oh... ok." Yui obliged cautiously.

Recently, Kanato had already trusted Yui in taking care of Teddy. Every now and then he'd call for Yui to mend a few stitches, but it doesn't mean he stopped lusting over her blood. Yui in turn acted more cautious around him. She took her time memorizing Kanato's likes and dislikes, so she wouldn't end up upsetting him. Previously, when she made a mistake, it would set off Kanato. He'd start crying and screaming at her, then he'd speak softly and gently as he tortured her, and finally drain her of her blood. And so, in order not to be killed, she had to sort of... understand him.

"Well then, we're off." Ayato nodded at his brother and walked passed by him, with Yui still propped up his shoulder.

"Ah! Ayato-kun! Please put me down. Someone might see this." Yui squirmed in protest.

"Why do you care if people see me carrying you like this?"

"Because this is embarrassing!"

"I think not. You should be proud that Yours Truly is holding you like this."

"What's to be proud of?" Yui muttered to herself.

"Hey, I heard that!"

"S-Sorry. I'm sorry."

"Tch, you're to demanding for a bait." Ayato then lifted her up from his shoulder and shifted her upon his arms. Now, he's carrying her bridal style. "There. Satisfied?" He grinned playfully at her.

'I can't believe this!' Yui ended up placing her palms over her face. She could feel herself blushing... which she herself believed to be impossible, considering that she's almost always out of blood.

"Why are you covering your face this time?" Ayato asked, annoyed.

"This is more embarrassing, so I'm hiding my face." She told him.

"..."

Yui wondered why her predator fell silent as he carried her through the quiet hallway. Usually he'd say something nasty, but this time... he shut up. So she peeped through her fingers to stare at him, with her hands still stuck on her face.

'Come to think of it... Ayato really is very handsome. Well, actually, all six of them are. But truthfully speaking, Ayato is more...'

"Chichinashi." Ayato suddenly stopped on his pace.

"Hm?"

"Someone's looking at us. Isn't that Takayanagi-sensei?"

With that suddenly spoken to her, Yui placed her hands away from her face."What? Where?" She turned her head from left to right, searching every corner of the hallway. But when she realized that she had been tricked, she turned to pout at the perpetrator. "Ayato-kun. That's not very n..."

But Ayato sealed her mouth with a kiss.

"Ayato-kun..." Yui caught her breath the moment he moved an inch away from her face. "Ayato-kun, if someone would see..."

"If someone would see, then they'll know you're mine. So shut up and just close your eyes." His tone was stern yet gentle.

"Heh! There's the face I wanted to see." Ayato teased as he gazed at Yui's flushed face, before he moved to kiss her yet again.
