Magnet

Chapter 16

~Len POV~

I entered the mansion without hesitation and as I open the big wooden door, a loud screech reached my ears. It was like a horror movie... a boy entering a creepy old looking mansion.

I started walking inside aimlessly, not knowing where I was heading I just walked straight. My eyes adjusted a little in the dark and I can see furniture's covered with white cloth.

"Kahoko...", I called out but it wasn't loud, I was too tired to the point that I couldn't bring myself to call Kahoko louder.

I tripped on something and fell on the floor. I sat up to see what I tripped on. My eyes widen after seeing Yuu's personal maid. Her body was on the floor like a doll that was thrown.

"Senri? What happened?", I asked while I tried shaking her. My hand got soaked with some liquid when I touched her clothes. I looked at Senri's face and it was covered with some blood.

"M-master?", Senri called with a weak voice. "Leave this place...", she said and closed her eyes.

"Senri? Hey, Senri?", I called but she wasn't moving. I placed my hand on her heart and tried feeling her heartbeat. She was still breathing, thank goodness.

I heard a thud and turned around to see what it was. I saw a male figure and I recognized it as Yuu.

"If Kahoko is what you want... why are you having Senri on your arms?", Yuu said. His voice sounded normal now.

I glared at Yuu. "Are you trying to give me a traumatic day?", I asked him.

"Not really... I wasn't in my senses to the point that I scared you... but you look amusing", he said and chuckled.

"Where's Kahoko?", I asked Yuu.

"Hmm... I'm sure she's with him", Yuu answered. In a split second he was suddenly in front of me. He was carrying Senri in his arms. "How troublesome".

"With him? Aren't you the one who said that you'll drink Kahoko's blood?", I asked him.

I saw him treating Senri's wound on her neck. "I'm not the one to finish her up... I'm sorry you got dragged with Kahoko and Sakura", Yuu said.

I pulled Yuu's shirt. "What do you mean? You said him, who is he? And why are we dragged in this nightmare?", I asked.

Yuu smiled, which made me want to punch him, and said, "I'll tell you this. All this time I wasn't the one who wanted Kahoko to die... I don't have the guts to hurt you by using Kahoko..."

"Then why-"

"I only obeyed him. Yes, I am a creature who likes blood, like a monster, but since I was awakened... I never drank blood except from you... and Sakura. But now, this is my doing... I drank Senri's life out", Yuu said. Expression hurt as he caress Senri's neck.

Impatient to knowing who the 'he' was, I again asked, "Who is the one you are obeying? Who is the 'he' you are talking about?".

Yuu looked up at me. His expression was blank yet he stared at me for a few seconds and then answered, "The 'he' I was talking about is someone who awakened me from my deep slumber. To tell you the truth, I was already dead thousands of years ago...".

Yuu watched my reaction. "A living dead?", I asked. Thinking that Yuu was really a dead person gave me goosebumps.

"Hmm... you can say that", Yuu answered. "He is the only one who can control me, I cannot kill him as well even though I hate him so much. He is the very reason why I hate living. I was awakened to see hell and I was mentally harassed. Each day was like a nightmare that I need to endure. I cannot kill myself since you guys took the trouble in taking care of me. Protecting the Tsukimori's was one of my priorities and one of my reason to live. But everything turned upside down when he made me remember my past. It only happened a few days ago. I said that I wasn't the brother you knew, remember? That was when everything started to turn. That was when he decided to start playing with my life... by using Kahoko".

"Ka-Kahoko? Why Kahoko?", I asked.

"L-Len don't strangle me. Even if you did, your energy and efforts will be of waste. Anyway, listen", Yuu said and took my hands away in one swift movement. "I did told you that Kahoko is like a replica of my previous lover. He thinks that Kahoko is really Sara, my lover. He plans on torturing me by using Sara... Kahoko. I didn't really want it to end this way but it seems that I'm still a pawn of his no matter what I do. I'm sorry Len", Yuu apologized.

He stood up carrying Senri, bridal style. "I'm powerless against him, Len, so I cannot guarantee you Kahoko's life".

I stood up as well and asked, "Is there something that I can do? I mean, I want to save Kahoko, so is there a way I can help?".

Yuu started to walk and I just followed him. "Hmmm... let me see", Yuu said. We reached a big wooden door and we both entered a room. Yuu snapped his fingers and all the candles that were in the room lightened up giving a light feeling in the room, yet it felt really cold and I'm still unable to calm myself. This place is making me have goosebumps.

I found myself staring at my reflection in a glass. I look horrible. My white polo shirt was dirty and my hair was a mess. My expression was like I've seen a ghost... well... I wont deny that I've seen a ghost, correction, a moving dead.

I changed my attention to Yuu. He had laid Senri on a sofa and was sitting quietly beside her. I saw him placing his right hand a few inches above Senri's chest.

"I feel Kahoko's presence just around the house. She's somewhere in this house but I cant tell where", Yuu said. Something started glowing under his right hand.

I wonder what he really is doing. I rubbed my throbbing head. All this supernatural is making me have a headache.

"Are you okay?", Yuu asked me.

"Yeah".

"There's a violin in that cabinet". Yuu pointed at a big white cabinet that was located at the corner of the room. "Play it when you hear a familiar tune. That's all I can think of", Yuu said.

"Are you making fun of me?", I asked Yuu. "What can me playing the violin do to save Kahoko?". I really can't read this guy.

"Just do that and everything might go smoothly", Yuu said. I saw him took away his right hand and covered Senri with a white cloth. I shivered. "Don't worry, she's alive. We can hide her like this for now".

Might? Don't worry? Aww... I really am not getting anything. I can't understand whats happening around me.

"Stay here, I'll look for Kahoko. Don't wander around if you cherish your life", Yuu said. I felt like that was a threat. I have no choice but to do what he says, right? For now, let's just try comprehending what is happening Len. I pinched myself on my cheek... oww... I really am awake.

TY for reading :D

Kinda boring... XD I hope that wasn't confusing :)
