Chapter 03

Darkness envelopes everything in this time, the storm is raging like a frustrated bull, the raven-haired slayer watches it like its matador and even though the fear is inside her trembling heart, she did not mind it. She got up and reached under her bed and grabbed a psychology book. It's unusual for her to read something like that. It's even weirder for it to be covered with plastic since her covered books are only her favorite ones.
She then laid back on her bed and started to read. It took her a long minute before she flipped the page. It seemed like she stared at it for long and imagined before she did that action. Fuyumi came out of the bathroom, ruffling her light brown hair with a white cotton towel. She's holding the same book that Rinko reads at her right hand.
Seeing them weirdly quiet, Sayako got confused and got off from her bed above the double deck. She sat on Fuyumi's for a while and waited until the brunette's hair dried off and sat beside her. Fuyumi laid back as Rinko did and read, totally ignoring the russet at the end of her bed. It thundered but Rinko stayed the same, not even blinking while she reads. It's the same with Fuyumi. The vampire lord really got confused. They're usually quite noisy and busy arguing with each other but it's the complete opposite now. It's like they quarreled or something.
"You two, why aren't you-" she stated but only received glares from them. "Wha-"
"Shhh. Be quiet." they both said at the same time like twins which was creepy with them as the subjects. It got into Sayako's nerves when she thought they're always the ones who are loud and she was thinking of snatching their books but did not since she remembered they are to be given a long test by next Monday.
"If it's about-"
"I said be quiet, obaa-san." Rinko cut her off with her usual tone and not her 'slave' one without even bothering to look at her.
"What's that, exactly!" she glared at Fuyumi, then to Rinko.
"We can't tell you, Sayako-kaichou." Rinko said, calling her in that name just aggravated Sayako's shortening temper. That name was the one she had called her when they were talking in that music room. Remembering the slayer just apologized yesterday made it even worse.
"Tell me." she ordered, barely managing her temper.
"You really wanna know?" Fuyumi asked peeking to look at her behind her book like she's telling a suspense story to a three year old kid.
"Of course." Since it gotten you so busy without talking to each other. Fuyumi glanced at Rinko as Rinko glanced at her like they are thinking about the same thing. They nodded at each other. "Don't freak out, okay?" she asked again, putting her book down. Rinko did the same. They both smirked a smirk that told Sayako she shouldn't take her chances with them but her curiosity got the best of her.
"You've been warned, obaa-san." Rinko teased, smiling at her like she's wearing another facade again. Sayako nodded and reached out to Fuyumi but she dodged. A vein became visible at what the brunette did. "Sa-chan, here." she called her, waving the book to her like it's a napkin. Sayako grabbed it. "Majo-san won't lend you any of her books." Sayako opened it to the middle part. The best friends – or best rivals at certain times when the situation suggests that they're competing with each other - were silently staring at her.
In the book, there were two guys being absorbed in a heated kiss under a shower. "Usa...our clothes at least...fu...nnn...ah!" the younger looking guy uttered a moan that was only muffled by their kiss. The guy arched back. "Because we're soaked...it's too much...Usagi-san's...I can feel it through his clothes."
Sayako's hands trembled as she flipped some more pages and ended up seeing the guys doing some things inappropriate – things only done in bed between a man and woman. The russet threw it at Rinko who quickly caught it and grabbed Fuyumi's which really frustrated the brunette but quickly threw it back at the girl who gladly took it, forgetting her grudge.
"Those books are mangas...those are...a-are..." she glared at the both of them, her face beet red, scared of whatever those guys – or gays – gays for life.
"Yeah...YAOI." the fujoshis both said, striking hard to the vampire's ears like they're going to bleed. The slayers reverted to what they're doing with some snickers and muted peals of laughter, which only made the vampire lord more decided to stand up, snatch their books to confiscate them – which she did, making the two frowned. Yet smirk after a second.
"Want to read more?" Rinko smugly asked.
"There are more in that box." Fuyumi voice, pointing to the box at a corner. Sayako glared at them scathingly and paced to the said box, threw the books there and carried it outside surprising the two and causing them to panic and cling on her, preventing her to move.
"What do you think you're doing!" Fuyumi growled at her warningly.
"Put that back in our room!" Rinko ordered, pissing the vampire more that was proven when she looked back at them, shadows on her face that she appeared so dreadful.
"Confiscating! What else! These are considered porn!" shivers ran down their spines as they froze, letting Sayako go. How dare you...young ones! The word 'confiscation' rings in their head like a bell that condemns them but more importantly, if they'll get suspended as students, their investigation will get postpone so-
"Obaa-san!" they dashed to her and pounced, Rinko's trying to snatch the box back.
"We don't plan to get any sanction!" Fuyumi exclaimed, nipping on Sayako's ear making the older girl more devastated.
"Teme, stop that!" she snapped at her, shoving her away. "Aho, d-don't try to...Ack! Damn it! Aho, let go!" kicking the raven away and shoving the brunette off of her, she freed herself from them and was about to stomp outside their dorm when she felt them clung tightly to her legs. "Hanase, tte ba!" not caring if they'll get hurt, she moved forward, bit by bit as she drags them.
"Don't try us! We won't budge!" said the raven to her, the brunette nodded fiercely.
"T-two options!" at that, they gazed up at her and then let go and sat like cats. Sayako sighed, sweat dropping. "It's either I'll tell this to the council or I'll confiscate these mangas and you'll be banned from any yaoi." the two stared at her grumpily.
"Like we'll agree with either of that." they said in unison. Sayako sighed again, putting it down without failing to look at them – their smiles. And at the last second, the box an inch apart from the marble floor-"Oi! Obaa-san!"...she ran, taking it, leaving the slayers with their mouths dropped opened. Yet, regaining their senses, they came after her.
"She'll tell that to the student council!" Fuyumi exclaimed, a horrid expression on her face as they stood up.
"Don't worry, she headed to the left stairs!" she said. The other looked at her. "Remember, the student council room is nearer to the right."
"So what are you doing, go after her!" she commanded, pinching her ear.
"Hey you-!" she slapped her hand away and caressed her abused lobe. "Majo-san, teme-!"
"G-go after her!" she hissed, trying hard not to shout since the students in the rooms along the corridor might get alert.
"Why me?" the raven protested. "You have more stamina!"
"Shut up! I'll try to hide the others in our room!" Yes, there are more in their closet.
Anyway, Rinko obeyed, afraid to waste precious time in arguing with the ever winning witch and never catch up with the russet.

That obaa-san! Rinko thought, a low growl slid through gritted teeth as she quickly ran down the stairs and banged out of the back door where she spotted a little of Sayako who slipped nimbly. Getting into other people's business is really a hobby of hers, eh! And she's now heading to the boys' dorm! At the outside of the dorms is a forest-like path where there are autumn trees like where their conversation took place yesterday. J-just what can happen to us if she'll-ah! no, no, no! She's already the president! Seeing a little of her again, she hasten up, slightly panting.

T-this must reach that brat! The russet thought looking back at Rinko who's a few meters from her, catching up. That human girl's a bit fast! Focusing on her way, she sped up. This is...just so...irritating! Seeing those guys...argg! So gross! Remembering what she saw gave her stomach a knot that made her queasy and almost wanting to puke but held back. If I'll use my normal speed, it would be suspicious to her...Rui! Do you know what your dogs are doing!
The thought that crossed her mind only worsen her temper as she felt her blood ran faster and hotter through her veins. Watching the box, so no manga would fall, every moment. Reaching the door of the boys' dorm, she banged the door open and dashed to the stairs. Tracing her cousin's faint scent led her to the third floor of the dorm. Looking back again, she saw Rinko slowing down, exhausted. Ignoring her, she hurriedly paced to the door where Rui's scent comes from then banged it open and dropped the box on the wooden floor then walked in. The reddish-black haired guy lays on his bed as if sleeping. The room is dark so Sayako lit the lights up. Rui's the only one present in it.
"Rui-!"
"Your spy isn't here, he's in the dinning hall with Akira gobbling-"
"That's not what I've come here for-" shutting her up, Rinko pounced on her that the both of them stumbled on the floor with a loud thud which woke up Rui, fully. "Aho, let go!" she commanded the raven who restrains her, pushing her off.
"I won't unless you give our box and get ou-"
"You two..." Rui interfered, getting their attentions, dark aura with murderous intent oozing from him as they glanced at his shadowed face that threatened them both. He's a demon when woken up at a wrong time! The two inwardly started to pray when- "What are you doing here, Sayako-kaichou?" he brightly asked, his mood clearing up upon seeing his cousin.
"As you see..." Rinko started nipping her ear just like what Fuyumi did, earning an irritated groan from Sayako. "I'm struggling from the grasp of this aho!" she complained, turning back to glaring at the girl who glared back at her. "I said 'let go!'"
"NOOWEI..." she replied, still nipping at her.
"Err...you two, tell me just what this is all about..." he sweat dropped when they both roared, explaining at the same time, their words being jumbled up. "Will you be relaxed?"
"I can't be relaxed!" they growled at him with their bitter death glares.
"First, this aho is on me, so I can't!" Sayako complained pushing the fujoshi away. "Will you mo-" Rinko shut her up again, her hand over Sayako's mouth and letting her lobe go.
"Just forget what you saw already..." she whispered to her. Sayako glared at her and bit her finger, causing her to scream as she let go.
"As if!" she stood up, coughing to clear her voice as Rinko blows and caresses her bitten finger. "Rui we need to talk."
"About?" he hesitatingly asked, scratching his temple.
"Your dogs' fetishes." she glared at him, her hand clenching into a fist. "That box is full of yaoi mangas!" saying those words made her feel queasy, yet again.
"Err...yeah I know..." he nervously laughed. Her eyes narrowed.
"You know? And you're tolerating them!" she hissed at him and pointed to where the box that's-"That box...where is it!" missing in place. Her eyes were beginning to turn red as she noticed Rinko tiptoeing out the room and chased her, grabbing her clothes resulting them to stumble again. "You sneaky aho!"
"Look at what-!...eh?" noticing the mangas that scattered on the floor when the box dropped, she turned pale. T-the others aren't covered yet! Sayako stood up, dusting her clothes off and picked up a book and shove it in front of Rui. He took it.
"You know they brought it here?"
"W-well..." he started reading it and turned blue. "I know but...Rinko's already eighteen." Sayako growled at him.
"This is a university Rui." she turned and he helped(?) her in picking the scattered books on the floor and returning them inside the box. "She's banned from yaoi this day onwards. I'm still the student council president." her statement struck the fujoshi.
"Ne, ne...Sayako-sama...?" she laughed nervously as she slowly glanced at her. "Saya...ko-sama?" Rui repeated, loosing grip of the books.
"Don't -sama, -sama me, aho." when all the books are in place she carried the box and entrusted it to Rui. "Don't fall for that human, Rui." she whispered to him with a glare. "Go back to our room now, aho."
"D-d-d-d-demo!" she clung to her with tearful eyes. "Those are our precious yaoi mangas which we collected since sixth grade!" telling her how young they were when they started to become like that only pissed the vampire more.
"Go now or I won't eat your meals tomorrow." She threatened her. Rinko froze and wobbly went back depression. She looked at Rui and headed to his room, he followed. When they got inside, he placed the box down. They sat on his bed, Sayako's eyes slowly becoming as crimson as blood or a red rose.
"So...you're really angered, e-eh?"
"I really wanted to throw up when I saw that manga..." she stated. "Why did you tolerate them?"
"They're already grown-ups...and actually," he scratched his temple and sighed. "...some of those mangas are gifts from me..." Sayako's pulse became faster and in a blink of his eyes, he's pinned on the nearest wall. "The wall cracked."
"I don't care." she leaned and slowly sank her fangs onto his flesh, blood gushing slowly out from the wound. He grasped her shoulder, his eyes turning red too. She's sucking a lot of blood. It's not the same bite she gave him before, he can feel it's not a venomous one...or maybe he's just oblivious of the venom since it can't affect him for what he became – he's not human anymore. He can feel the condemnation from Akira before when he knew it, when he pointed his gun against him, and the darkness of his life...but even though her bite, which reminds him of those things, is a painful one...one that can send death to him ever so quickly, he didn't mind. He only lived to change this girl who was overcame with confusion...and since she became worried of those humans, those slayers, he thought he'd just leave the task to them since this most precious girl to him wishes it. But, she retracted and held his shoulders and gazed to his already crimson eyes. "I never wished to kill you, annoying idiot." she said as she flicked a finger on his forehead. "Nor did I became worried of them."
"..you...read...my mind?" he muttered, almost inaudibly as he breathes heavily.
"Yes. When I bit you before, you weakened and I was able to do it. But now...don't let your guard down." she wiped the remnants of blood on her lips and chin then stepped outside the room, close the door and leaned on it. The thoughts of the guy are still echoing in her mind. She didn't want to hurt him. As he knows, she's a tough looking girl but a kind and caring one despite all her facades and her threats. She strolled along the corridor, meeting Zen and Akira. Noticing the scent, he became alerted.
"You bit that guy?" Zen questioned, his cocky and meddling tone in his voice.
"Rui?" Akira uttered. It sounded like a statement more than a question.
"He won't die from something like that." she walked between them as Akira dashed forward to their room. Zen followed her, suspicious of his lord's reason.

"Why is that old hag still isn't here!" stammered Rinko as she looked at the brunette, they're both raising a brow to each other. "Any guesses?"
"I'll go there to know." Fuyumi stood up an smirked, a glint of malice is noticeable in her eyes. "And I'll get our box too."
"Yeah!" Rinko exclaimed, her mood suddenly brightening up as she pushes the brunette out the room. "That's the spirit!"
"W-wait!" Fuyumi slapped her hand, and faced her. "Why is it only me who'll go!"
"You haven't done anything yet." she smirked at her. The brunette sighed in defeat.

Why did I react like that? Akira questioned himself. He's in front of the door of their room now but he just can't help but to hesitate whether he'd go in or show the vampire some bit of concern. He said before that he'll just follow and obey him for he's the one who saved them, the reason of why they survived from that night was mainly because of his help. He never treated him like a cousin as Rui told him to. It's more like they're just coincidentally became senpai and kouhai but he didn't mind that. His chest is heaving. It's not like their memories together with Rinko and Fuyumi was good-for-nothing. They had still formed those kind of bonds. So, to think that Rui's in this kind of situation...it's just so breathtaking. He always thinks that this guy doesn't need any help as he's stronger than any of the slayers around them. A small creak from a bed inside startled him.
"Are you...really going to just stay there, standing...hesitating?" Rui asked asked from the inside with his hoarse voice. Akira turned the knob and walked in, closing the wooden sepia door behind him.
"Of course not." Akira said and went in and saw Rui topless. His polo was damped on a corner of his bed. "Wash that shirt now, or the stain of your blood will be hard to care of." he neared him and examined his features until he noticed that his blood trickling and the closing bite marks on the left side of his neck.
"Don't come...near me...baka..." he barely managed to mutter. "I've weakened...and so my control...as well..."
"You want some blood?" he teased him, smirking as he came closer to him. Rui tried to resist, biting his lip. "I'm willing to give you some if you'd beg for it."
"You're...humiliating me..." and a silent curse followed.
"Vampires are vampires, Rui. If you won't take it, you might bite the others especially Rinko and my only cousin." and he took his shirt off and threw it to a side. Can't take the fast beating of the human's heart and his fast pulse, he grabbed his neck and laid him on the bed. "T-the sheets might get tainted." but the vampire ignored him-
"It...won't hurt." he said as he noticed the human tensed and slowly and carefully caressed his fangs down on his skin, which smelled like lavender, scratching it. The scent of his body and blood appeased him more that he nimbly bit him and sucked the scarlet substance.
"...ah...ah...nnn...Rui...! Rui...Rui..." The ex-human knows that he can't take much or this frail human will die but as Akira started to moan, saying his name lustily, he just can't help but to be greedy to the slayer. Everything in Akira's vision began to cloud and blur and the only thing in his focus is this ex-human on him, lavishing on his blood. How could he when he's already too absorbed with this sweet blood that he's feasting on? , Akira though.
But suddenly, Rui did withdraw his teeth and sat up before him. "Someone else is here..." he mumbled as he stared at the guy. A thin layer of sweat covers his skin, illuminating his features more. Eyes fluttering, chest heaving, cheeks flushed, lips puffy(!) – this expression of his was a sight to be behold. It's an invitation for vampire especially with his blood trailing down, but Rui resisted and stood up, gaining his strength again, and opened the door-
"O-onii-sama...? Finished already?" he grew pale, seeing the mischievous fuijoshi drooling before him. She wiped it and stared back at him, eyes still in daze for everything she just heard. She reluctantly came inside wanting to see how her cousin looks like and her mouth dropped in awe when she saw sparks when Akira sat up, gazing at her.
"F-Fuyumi...?" he said thinking he's seeing things but the moment he saw that devilish smile on her face, he paled, just like Rui did. "I-it's not like...what you think! It-" that's all he managed to explain as he fainted – either because of what the ex-human did or the fact that this insane yaoi crazed girl is here, and saw him like that – but either way, it's perverted.
"Fuyumi...get out of here..." Rui growled. She ignored him. He grabbed her shoulder. She turned and glance at him, only to be threatened to see the blazing, flickering, hot fire in his torch-like hand. "Get out unless you want to be reduced to ashes..." the flame's right in front of her eyes. She dashed out, sweating either because she's nervous or because of the hotness of the dangerous thing. The door slammed close to her dismay that she hadn't got the box...but it's nothing compared what she just witnessed... she wore that smile again and sadistically laughed on her way back in her mind.

When I went to brush my teeth, I was almost surprised to see the small bite marks on my neck. I still couldn't believe it was like that. The action that can draw anyone to death felt so feverish, so mind-breaking that I almost forgot I'm a human, that I could die from blood lost if ever Rui hadn't stopped. Akira thought as he dresses up, not forgetting to cover the marks. I'm not saying that it was a good thing that that insane girl heard those stupid, weird, creepy noises that I never thought would come from me. According to the research and evidences, vampires' bites are agonizingly painful...they're the ones that you won't ever want to get. So, just what did that guy do for it to become...so pleasurable? Will I just ask him instead than thinking about it myself? No...he might just laugh on me when he knew I felt that way...Kuso! He slammed his forehead on his hand as he felt his face grew hotter. "I just hope Fuyumi won't make a ruckus on what she heard and saw." and he slid out the room and followed Rui, then went to the hall side by side.

A group of girls surrounds Fuyumi and Rinko as they eat. This made the vampire lord irritated. She's eating the personally made breakfast by Rinko, the most annoying person on her list, which is composed with an scrambled egg, bacon, a mushroom soup, etc, etc.. That alone is enough to irritate her. She would refuse to eat it but because of her abrupt threat yesterday, she can't. Plus, she doesn't have any reason to since they all said it's good, including the staffs in the kitchen. They're her people but strangely, like Rinko had befriended them, they agreed with her in everything...which made her feel nice since it's sickening to have everything so predictable. To have them be so obedience to the point that they'll sacrifice their lives protecting her even without her command. The thought that she had changed them suddenly struck her that she shook her head. Anyway, no matter how much that thing had been nice, she can't ignore that fact that the girls are still squealing 'kya! kya!' – including Fuyumi – even if they're already in their class.
"Rinko," she whispered to her. "Do you know why they're like that?"
"It's about Rui-aniki and Akira-aniki, I think. It's yaoi." she answered, barely curious about it. Sayako nearly choked when she heard it.
"Between them!" she asked, gulping her tea. Rinko stayed silent until they got into their rooms. Despite the silence, the girls around them in their seats keep on passing that piece of paper. Sayako didn't want to meddle since it's inappropriate and it's class hours but that vein on her temple just can't be ignored anymore. Rinko was focused on reading a book. Sayako suspected that it's that 'psychology book' again but peeping from the back, she saw it's not. It's about the different laws of different countries. She's reading the Great Britain's. She's been into it lately. Shira-sensei just gave them a test, mostly concerned with the law. She's now slowly dazing off to her dreamland as she checks their papers up, which is really a favor for the girls.
Some minutes had passed and Shira had slept completely, letting the class to have their 'freedom' from writing the outline of their thesis. The girls swarmed around Fuyumi, reading the purely fan girl made fiction about their two favorite nice guys who had been with them for a short time. Rinko wanted to fuss with them but hesitated since she holds unto her so-called respect for the two.
"Shouldn't you be doing your outline?" Sayako cockily asked raising an eyebrow. Some girls glared at her, the others shuddered.
At that, Rinko was able to gather courage and opened her mouth to say, "That's a crap if it's between them." the girls stared blank towards the two who were the most arguing people in the class. This is the first time they've had a silent agreement. A girl handed the paper back to Fuyumi and the brunette gave it to the raven, smirking.
"Read it first before complaining." Said her best friend. Rinko was about to refuse but then the thought of those bishounens doing it lost her and she silently sat on her seat and read, forgetting her 'respect' completely and angering Sayako at their backs even more. Her jaw dropped open. It's not just yaoi. It's vampire yaoi.(imagine it like KanZe=rui's kaname and akira's zero!=)) LOL.i want to detail it but i can't. i must not)
As they know, vampires are such exquisite beings who kills humans by sucking their blood as food and then gaining power. Fuyumi knows that this slayer's oh-so-hatred towards the said beings is enormous enough for her to be driven crazy and obsessed in killing them but just a moment when she started reading it...she began laughing an evil laugh, one that most of them thought belongs to a demon, devil or something. Then, when she finished, she laid it on her desk, gripped her pen and mentally crossed every 'vampire' word on it. Basically, only concentrating on the word yaoi.
She handed it back. Fuyumi gulped. Sayako raised a brow, resting her head on her palms as she ponders on what this raven have read, she has no idea. Rinko smiled brightly at them.
"Vampires(she means yaoi) wa daaaaaiiiiisuki~!"she uttered in a daze as the scenes in that paper flowed back to her mind. The other slayer was stunned, as well as the vampire lord, knowing how immense her hatred was.
Just because of a screwed, fucking stupid, perverted thing...she forgot it all...or perhaps she's just really too absorbed into the yaoi part that she had forgotten the vampires? No...maybe she's just more naive than I thought she was, Sayako speechlessly thought, her vision blurring. Just how stupid is she?
Rina suddenly stood up and paced to them. She picked the piece of paper up and was about to read it but Sayako snatched it, stopping her.
"Let go, lord-san." she cockily said, without caring with girl's rank or whatsoever. "I want to know what that mess is all about."
"You shouldn't." she sighed then shuddered.
"I don't care even if you're the 'lord'. You can't just control someone with your rank." her words struck the vampire lord but instead of being angered she smiled at her. "W-what?"
"It's not something pleasant to be read so please?" Sayako pleaded nicely that Rina absentmindedly surrendered the paper.
Why was she like that? Rina thought as she sat beside the russet. "I still want to know what's inside," then she poked Fuyumi. "Fu-chan, what is this?" the tone of her voice suddenly cooled down as she smiles at her.
"Vampire yaoi fandom." she plainly said. The charcoal haired girl's expression turned bitter, her hand clenched to a fist as she slowly repeated.
"Y-yaoi?"
"Want to see?" the girls asked in a daze.
Rina violently shook her head and walked back to her seat, trembling. She gloomed, crestfallen, as she heard Sayako say something like "I told you" as the russet sweat dropped and tore the paper apart.
