Wow. I slacked off a lot. But what can you do? Oh yeah, I never really like OCs but just for this and this only fic. I'm going to put in a somewhat, half, maybe OC. I think I'll give the readers a present hehehehe.
AviTaRi: Yeah, I know, looooooooooooooong wait. Sowwy DX.
Hotaru-Naichingeru: Personally, I see him as the goofy and lovable too (Does this mean he's OOC in this fic? LOL). Oh yeah, I'm a Kaimi person but I think Kaimei works too...
Sorry, from now on, I think I'll make a schedule. How about a chapter every (maybe other) Saturday? Yeah, I could do that...
"My name is Kaito." I answered cautiously.
"Kaito? It suits you; it's such a pretty name!" Miku sang and a smile. Her smile was so bright and cute. Wait did I say cute? No way! There is no way I... What's this? This burning sensation on my cheeks?
I ignored the poor excuse for a compliment, I heard too many of those and tried to stand up. My legs weren't used to the sudden pressure and I would've collapsed if Miku didn't catch me. Hard to believe for someone who beautifully collapsed as I-well you know what happened.
"Woah! Don't push yourself just after getting out of bed!" Yeah? We'll see about that. I attempted to roughly push her away, I only softly grazed her arm. How more pathetic could I possibly be?
"Leave me alone, I can walk on my own thank you very much." This time I found my voice quite easily, but it still remained the same rough quality.
"I know you can, but let me help." She then flashed one those..what do humans call them? Oh, puppy-eyes. Hmph, if she honestly though I would fall for it, then she doesn't know me very well. Oh yeah, she doesn"'t and never will. Why should she?
I then regained even more strength and started to walk away somewhat more smoothly than before.
"Um, Mr. Kaito?" The teal-haired girl caught up with me and tugged on my arm. I flinched from the contact, it was as if she sent a spark running through me. What is this? Hmmm, most likely it was static electricity. Perhaps that's what it was. After all, I'm now a-. One of them. And with petal soft skin like this, It would be hard to not feel it.
"What is it?" I narrowed my eyes dangerously, a tactic I used to scare off any admirers or crazy girls. It is highly effective against them except, for her. And apparently for Miku as well. It seemed to have no effect whatsoever; she didn't flinch, stared in fear, or leave me alone.
"The exit is that way." She pointed to the exact opposite direction I was heading.
Could my day possibly get any worse?
"Mikuo! I'm back! I hope you weren't too lonely without me" Miku called in her usual chirpy voice.
As soon as I headed out of the hospital, I remember blacking out-NO! I certainly did NOT FAINT! How on earth could you possibly get that notion in your head? Wait, who am I talking to? Never mind, I felt myself being carried by her, the same way she offered back in the hospital. And since I had no strength left to resist, I gave in and closed my already heavy eyes... and somehow ended up in her house.
Who was this girl anyway? Going through all the trouble for taking care of me, and even allowing me, a stranger inside her house! She must have no idea of the cruel outside world. No, my little "performance" should have atleast given her the true meaning of fear. What made her so happy and jubilant? Not all humans were as cheerful as she was. Most of them I observed were silent, angry most of the time, and lashing out delinquent insults at anyone and everyone. Perhaps Miku must be one of those rare types of humans. Humans, such a strange species.
"Miku! Stop treating me like a little kid; I'm the older brother anyway." An angry teen popped his head out with an annoyed pout plastered on his face.
If Miku cut off her pigtails, she'd look exactly like Mikuo. In fact, they must be twins. No, the "brother" claimed that he was the eldest. Perhaps by minutes or seconds.
"Kaito, this is my big brother, Mikuo Hatsune. But we're not really related, he was adopted." Miku said. Hmm, despite that they weren't blood related, they had an uncanny resemblance. I wouldn't be surprised if people actually assumed that Mikuo was her brother.
Mikuo threw a dirty look and I could tell that he too was hiding a disgusted sneer; perhaps my state? I'd never really admit this out loud but, it hurt. It hurt a lot. When I stepped out of the hospital, the people outside were screaming, gasping, and running away in terror. Originally, this is how humans are supposed to see us: Blood sucking demons that only appear human but will never be. In my entire life, I was loved, adored and even idolized just for my stunning appearance, power, and intelligence. If I were born a human, would I be like the way I am now?
"Uh, excuse me but Miku and I need to have a little brother-sister conversation" I'd have to live with someone who hates me? Wait a minute! Who said anything about living here? Well, I had no other place to go. This place might be the best option.
Mikuo stormed out of the room and slammed the door shut just after Miku was faithfully trailing him like a master and dog. Hmmm, that's just what she is: a naive and faithful dog that would trust anyone with its leash. How on earth does she still survive?
I craned my neck and placed my ear to the door. Again, with this uncontrollable curiosity! This curiosity is almost as bad as when I was unbearably thirsty and no human was in a mile radius. Despite my reduced senses, I was able to listen in this-so-called "brother-sister conversation".
"...isn't it kind of suspicious? A middle aged freak sleeping on the top of our house. He has no memory of what happened, and got out of the hospital a little too early." Mikuo spat out. It was clear as rain, he hated me with every living fiber in him. Who could blame him? I've started to grow a grudge on myself, if that's possible.
"Kaito's not like that! He's a poor man that was in the same position I was in-" I noticed how she broke off and remained quiet. Now that I think about it, I was transformed into this, the same night I fed on her. Hmm, how long was I asleep on top of the building? Obviously,more than what was necessary for Miku to recover in another hospital. Did she want to save someone who also was in terrible shape? The mere thought of that sent an unknown emotion through me. What is this?
"I'm telling you Miku, this guy isn't normal. I bet he can hear us right now."
Twitch
"Don't be ridiculous Kuo! What books have you been reading this time?" She lightly laughed at the end.
At this point, the conversation seemed pointless and a bore. I decided to explore this "house" that I could be residing in.
A rather simple house if I must add; it had all of the essentials a home would need. A couch, carpet, table, chair, and three floors. Upstairs: a twin-sized bed with plain sheets, a desk, and closet. Downstairs: I do believe that this is a laundry room. A place were you washed articles of clothing. Something I only heard about from a maid that I played with. Yet, the only "decoration" of this dwelling was a bright green lamp that looked like it was never used.
By then, I finally memorized the entire place room-by-room. When I went back to the middle floor, Miku and her brother were still in their little "talk". I sighed in complete boredom because that's how I was head to toe: Bored.
I usually experienced this emotion before; it was an irksome emotion because it was the only emotion that we couldn't "turn-off".
I sighed once again, but then spotted something on the couch. A small blob of fur that appeared to be breathing, it was a cat. I never really liked animals but I was slightly fond of cats. Yet, I could never keep one; they simply were too fragile. But perhaps in this form, I could...
I stroked the cat the way I've seen other humans do. At first, I never knew why they enjoyed it. Now I know, a cats fur is simply velvet and silk.
I continued petting the cat (who was now awake and grateful for the early morning massage) until Miku came out with flustered cheeks. Did they have an argument?
Miku's gaze appeared to soften at mine, or perhaps the cat. She came closer and sat down next to me.
"Her name is Avi. She likes you a lot!"
"Really?"
"Yup!"
Before I could reply, an angry Mikuo stormmed out with equally flushed cheecks. What happened?
"I'll let you stay here until we find you a home." He grudgingly said.
At this, Miku burst into joy. Once again, Why was she so happy? Did my presence please her? Hmmm! Perhaps my charisma still resides in this putrid form called a body.
"I'm only letting you stay because Miku wants it. Never forget that, bloodsucker."
Bloodsucker? Fear immediately seized through me. What did he know?
WHEW!
Done! Plz review!
Thanks to AviTaRi for letting me use penname for OC
