Chapter 14
I'm still alive?
I thought I'd be dead by now. Well, I guess it's coz a recent review had PUPPY EYES! UGH! My number one weakness!
Ah well, but still! I think that the fic is getting kinda dark huh? Well, that's just love for you *shrug*. What am I saying?
Enjoy this rather, ok REALLY LATE CHAPTER!
Unlike most mornings or actually for a very long time, I woke up rather peacefully. I was all alone in the small guest room and I could tell that it was morning from the few but bright rays of light that penetrated the windows. Also, a small bundle of fur was still calmly resting on my leg covered by the blanket.
Light and Life, the very things that were denied for a vampire and here it was, right in front of me. I suppose that some time ago I would've found it awfully disgusting and unlawful for the prince of all vampires for associating with such things. But now, I guess...it wasn't so bad after all.
I was always taught that humans were the scum of the earth and their only purpose was to be eaten by well, us. And I believed that, for a very long time, at least 100 years. But now, I'm starting to think that maybe humans aren't so...
"SHION! WAKE UP BEFORE YOU'RE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" The familiar and annoying voice rang out from the door. You know what? Everything that I said earlier, I take that back.
Not wanting to drenched with hot or cold water (that brat actually tried both!), I hurried out of bed and changed into the school uniform. Strangely enough, it was while I was changing on this particular day that I took note of the strange symbol that certain witch etched on my arm. It was now a faded scar, luckily should anyone steal a quick glance. Yet, each stroke remained intact on my arm, and who knows? Maybe it's scratched deep enough to pierce my flesh as well?
Wait! That witch did mention that I had to find someone to declare their love in order to become human, didn't she? How long? Ahh, 2 years. Well, an equivalent of half a month passed. 23 months should give me more than enough time for that.
After examining my scar, I glanced over to where my sister was, sprawled on the ground yet sleeping peacefully. Come to think of it, last night, didn't she...Oh I guess I survived. I carefully picked her up and placed her on my bed. As if it wasn't enough, questions once again raced through my mind. Yet, some sane part of me decided to wait until she regained consciousness for that.
With that, I dashed out of the house to go to "school". Hmph, even the term itself still seemed strange as ever. Would I ever get used to saying it? Perhaps not.
"Shion-san! Wait for me!" A cheerful voice chirped away. I didn't even need to look back to see that it was none other than Miku.
"It's your own fault for staying up late at night." I replied, not slowing my pace at all. Yet she still had the nerve to catch up to me!
"Don't be such a jerk! Besides, you forgot your lunch!" She thrusted a small blue bag while we were dashing. Could it be? That she stayed up all night to prepare lunch?
"Hmph, whatever." I was only responded with a smile.
Even with that smile, I could help but shake the feeling that this day was going to be...something else. Why is that?
"Ah, Miku-chan! Good morning!" Oh, that's why. That annoying little blond brat who can't seem to understand the term "personal space". Maybe I haven't been a human for too long but would any normal human jump another in an almost deadly hug?
However, Miku being Miku, can just assume this as a gesture of affection and respond in such by hugging back. MIKU! Can't you see that he's trying to kill you? (A/N: Ur just jealous Kaito...)
"Good morning Len-len! Lively as ever, huh?" She said with a laugh. The thought that she shows her happiness to someone else, it makes my blood boil. Why?
"If you guys aren't going to finish up soon, we'll be late for that teachers class." I had no idea where I managed to come up with that line but at least it broke up that annoying hug, or whatever they were doing.
"C'mon! Who knows what Kiyoteru-sensei will do to us!" Suprisingly, Miku grabbed both of our arms and raced to that dangerous teacher's room. Wow, so she does have strength after all. Or it's just a fluke, that's all.
"Amazing, you three actually have the gall to enter my classroom once again." The teacher casually raised his glasses with a single finger while running his other hand through his dark chocolate brown hair.
"Well, seeing how you did register us into your classroom, I see no reason why we have to miss class." I answered half-heartedly. I could tell that Miku and Len stiffened at my response. Hmph, well if they weren't going to say anything, I might as well!
That demonic teacher only spread his lips into a dangerous smile. Perhaps there was going to be another fight? I wasn't exactly prepared for another fight though.
"Oh? Well why don't you show me what you prepared for your audition then?" The so-called teacher then gestured to a nearby stereo. Shoot! I spent so much time worrying for my sister that I had forgotten all about this rather pointless audition. My mind raced as I tried to frantically calm myself; regardless of my putrid form, I refuse to show weakness to anyone.
Logically thinking, auditions are the simple form of a test for the director to see the potential of an actor. In this case, I must choose a suitable song in order to get this over with...
"Uh Kiyoteru-sensei, how about I go first?" Why thank you Miku. I guess this somewhat frivolous girl wasn't entirely weak and pathetic as I originally thought.
She placed a clear disk in the stereo, having almost complete confidence in herself. Wow, who knew that she was actually capable of such an expression?
Once the music started, the teal haired girl started to sing out strongly yet clearly, which actually surprised me since I assumed that Miku would start out softly. Miku continued singing her song, while in harmony and in time of the track of her CD. I will be damned for eternity should I ever say this out loud but her singing was truly...captivating!
The way her eyes would sparkle and her hands would make small gestures, it would make nearly anyone want to sing along or simply stare in awe. Miku's finish was unexpected as well; instead of finishing strongly, her voice immediately softened but the clarity still remained. Nevertheless, I had no idea that humans had the potential to create such a performance.
"Thank you Hatsune. Next!" The bluntness of our teacher caught me completely off guard. After such a beautiful performance it would only be common courtesy to give a small compliment or anything! Just who did this Kiyoteru think who he was?
But before I could even say a word, that yellow annoyance stood up and shoot me a warning glance. Why that little-
"Kiyoteru-sensei, may I perform now?" Len asked almost flatly. Despite the fact that his eyes were blank, I knew what hid behind them, a persistent pest that refuses to cease causing turmoil. Well, that might be an exaggeration but that doesn't change the fact that I still hated him.
In fact, I didn't even pay attention to that blond's song and rolled my eyes when Kiyoteru nodded his head in contemplation. I was incredibly frustrated that I didn't even consider what song I should sing.
"I am aware that you haven't prepared a song so instead, I prepared a song for you." The so-called teacher roughly handed a sheet that held lyrics and an mp3 player.
"I will give you 30 minutes to familiarize with the song. I expect nothing but satisfactory results. Do you understand, Shion?" His eyes dangerously narrowed. Maybe this could provide me a chance to show up this cocky teacher!
I smirked and stepped outside the classroom to memorize the song.
But...after reading a single verse while listening...
What kind of song is this? Does he expect me to sing this?
Good grief, do you need my help again? Well, this might be fun!
I hadn't the faintest idea what that voice did but after he finished "talking" I suddenly blacked out.
~30 Minutes Later~
"Oi! Shion come on in! 30 minutes is over!" Len called out.
The door flung open to reveal none other than Kaito, only slightly...different. His tie was slightly loosened, the shirt with the vest looked ruffled, Kaito's normally messed up hair was now parted to reveal his dangerously blue eyes, but the biggest difference was that Kaito had a devious smile that had the intention of dominating everyone (A/N: Seme Kaito!)
The blue haired demon-like boy almost glided to the stereo and pressed the play button almost arrogantly. He then started to sing.
Crazily…
Let's love with me?
Why are you shy?
Come on, Appetizing girl.
While singing, Kaito approached Miku with a grin and grabbed a small strand of her hair. He sniffed it delicately, much like a prince survey's its meal.
Because I present a special night to you,
Give me sweets!
Are you ready?
Miku, in response, struggled. However, once Kaito caught her expression of desperation, he only held on to her much more tightly. He continued on while holding to his prize. Len was about to intervene if it wasn't for Kiyoteru who swung his metal pointer to stop him.
Because of the fascinating flavours the beat quickens
Those colourful sweets
Even boys like sweets
We want them by instinct
A beautifully wrapped gift, why can I not see what's inside
now?
"Shion-san! What are you doing?" She then managed to forcefully push her captor away. Kaito only smriked wider and continued
No way! Don't tease me like that!
How can you be so calm in front of a
beast?
Can I tear off this lacy ribbon?
Kaito lazily pulled at Miku's hair tie, causing a stream of turquoise to cascade to fall. It matched perfectly with the girl's frightened and shocked eyes.
The caffeine is too stong
You don't want me awake all night long, right?
You prepared and came
here, didn't you?
Then, are you ready?
OK?
"Kiyoteru-sensei! What are you doing! Letting that Shion doing such things in a school!" Len yelled at the idle teacher who merely adjusted his glasses with a single finger.
I'm a beast that loves sweets
I tear off "the wrapping" and find what I want
Are you feeling good?
Oh, it's already melting.
With a single hand motion, Kaito removed his tie and tied up Miku's hands to prevent her from escaping. He leaned down so his mouth was at level to her ears.
What do "you" taste like?
Come on, enjoy the chocolate with me
The effect of aphrodisiac it contains is great
Licking dripping drops just once gives me pleasure af if I were fallen.
Kaito was about to lick Miku's neck if it wasn't for a voice to stop him.
"That's enough Shion. I shall review your auditions and send cast calls tomorrow
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this uber long chapter!
NUUUU! Darn you Kiyoteru! WHY NO MORE SEME KAITO?
Ah well, see ya!
