A/N: So what took me so long...? Writers block, it truly is a horrible thing.
Musical-Rainbow-Beats: Thank you so much! You have no idea how a long review filled with praise, creative critiscm, and encouragment makes me feel! I hope the plot makes sense, especially when I add other things to it. On another note I worked hard to make sure Tsuna isn't a Mary-Sue and don't even get me started with the boys...
...
Tsuna stared at the window with a blank expression as she waited for the limo to get to the mansion. School had been difficult today and she had homework to do, not only that but she was also a bit anxious to get away from Ayato.
Ever since last night when he had tasted her blood and she remained a silent statue, he had become rather irritable and made a point to try to force some form of emotion while they were at school. Now that they were going home where the common morals and rules of society would be cast off, she was sure it would only become worse.
As soon as the car parked Tsuna was out faster than any of the rest, her short legs quickly making the trek up the stairs and to her room. Slamming the door shut she took in a deep breaths, her chest heaving as she did so and a small buzz lighting up her head. She wasn't sure what it was, but she enjoyed that buzz, the feeling brought a burst of confidence in her that she was lacking in recent times, leading her to feel better about herself.
Throwing her backpack on the bed she strolled over to her wardrobe and opened it, taking out a pair of jeans and a yellow long sleeve shirt that she always wore and changed into them. As she did her thoughts drifted to the small vial of rose oil she had ditched class to buy at the herb shop.
If the books she had been reading were correct then she would be able to kill a vampire via rose oil. Tsuna didn't believe that of course, the chances of killing them were slim, but the chances of getting them sick was pretty high. Now all she needed to do was find a vampire to actually use the poison on...
Slipping out of her room she cautiously entered the kitchen. Once she was sure that no one would bother to mess with her, she took a small kettle and began boiling water on the stove before getting a small mug and dropping in a green tea packet. When the shrill whistling started she quickly took the kettle off the eye and poured the water in as well as the entire bottle of rose oil. The fresh aroma of green tea brought a homesick feeling. Her siblings would always drink tea right after church during the winter, the result would all of them falling asleep in the pews.
Going into the living room she set down her mug on a table and nearly screamed when she heard a voice call out to her. "What are you doing?"
Biting the inside of her cheek she turned to the couch where Shu was laying. "I was about to have some tea." She said. "It helps me relax."
"You like rose tea?"
Tsuna swallowed the growing lump in her throat. "Yeah, it smells good."
"Bring it here."
"Excuse me?" He was playing into her hands so easily, it was almost disappointing.
He opened one ocean blue eye to stare at her. "Bring it here."
Sucking on her bottom lip to keep herself from jumping up and down, the girl carefully picked up the hot mug and went over to the young man, her heart beating hard against her chest. Each step seemed to take longer than it normally would and every intake of breath hurt. When she finally made it to the small couch she sat on her knees and presented the mug.
Not bothering to sit up the young man took the mug and, somehow, drank from the cup. Tsuna nibbled the inside of her cheek as she watched the vampire drink and held her breath when he finished. He was still pale, all of them were naturally like that, and still seemed tired and unwilling to move.
Nothing had changed.
'Unless I need to wait for the next night?'
"Are you done?" She asked after a moment, watching one of the drops escape his lips and descend down his face, just to be absorbed by the cotton of his shirt.
"Yes."
She slowly extended a hand out to take the mug. "Can I have this ba-AH!"
Instead of being on her knees she was now on Shu's chest, her legs parted so she was straddling his waist. Adrenaline immediately made a mad dash through her veins as he kept a firm hand on her left wrist, his eyes now open and staring down at her. Instead of looking bored and sleepy they now held annoyance and something Tsuna wanted to categorize as excitement. She had seen that look before in the eyes of his brothers and she immediately knew what was coming.
"It was stupid of you to reach out to me like that..." He said as his free hand touched her neck, on it was fangs marks that were finally scabbed over and almost healed. "Unless you were trying to tempt me..."
"Huh?" She pressed her free hand to his chest. "I'm not doing anything to you," The surprise slowly melted off her face to be replaced by her blank expression. "but if you're going to bite me then make it quick."
He stared down at her, noticing the change in her expression. So she was going to play it that way, well that was fine with him, he just wanted a meal. Pulling her small wrsit to his lips he licked the vein, watching her reaction out of the corner of his eye. When she didn't move he bit down and began sucking at her blood.
It was thick, warm, and tasted much too sour as if someone had left it out longer than it should have been. Ripping his fangs out of her he let her arm drop to the side of the couch, the red of her blood smearing against the velvet material, leaving a stain that Reiji would be upset with. "Such a pain."
"Hm?" Her ears perked up at those words. Was he in pain, did he not feel good, did it work?! "What do you mean?"
He shut his eyes and relaxed. "Your blood tasted horrible." He said simply, as if she should have already known this.
"Hn."
On the inside Tsuna wanted to laugh at him for thinking it would turn out differently. Already three different vampires had claimed that she tasted horible, what made him think she would suddenly be delicious becuase it was him? Unless all vampires had different taste preferences...If that was the case then she still had two other vampires that she would have to be careful around.
"Can I get up?" She wriggled her bitten arm. "I'm getting numb."
The vampire didn't respond. Taking that as a yes she flipped her body over falling flat on her face. Thinking nothing of it she got up and took the mug back to the kitchen, carefully cleaning it out. She was excited to see what would become of her little experiment, but knew if the vampires found a dead body within their walls they would probably kill her. She began nibbling the inside of her cheek at that thought. She was going to have to be careful with how long the killings would be in-between and arrange them to be in a way to make it look like a vampire did it, but how did you do that? As far as she could tell they've lived together ever since they were kids and had yet to kill each other over anything...
Sighing she put the mug away and went to her room to think over the events of the night, finally falling asleep well after dawn.
...
The next evening Tsuna woke up to yelling. Struggling to untangle herself from her blankets she fell on the floor and ignored it long enough to rip her door open and peer down the hall. Outside it was Kanato doing his best to get his teddy bear back from Laito, who was raising it well above his own head making it nearly impossible for his younger brother to get it.
"Come on Kanato-kun, reach." He taunted, getting on his own tip toes for emphases.
Rolling her eyes Tsuna shut the door carefully, keeping the knob down so that you couldn't hear the click, and turned around to get dressed, just to see acid green eyes. Screaming Tsuna jumped back against the door, the knob digging into her hip and banging against the bone when she did so.
"Jesus Christ, what are you doing in my room!" She snapped, her hand covering her heart as if to keep it from jumping out of her chest.
"Ore-sama hasn't lost his touch." He purred, a sharp toothed grin on his face. "Ore-sama came here to see if you were ready for school, everyone was up on time except you."
Tsuna huffed, trying to get her mask back on and failing. "Y-yeah, I'll be ready in a sec."
"Hn." He looked her up and down. "Doubt it, you look like shit."
The girl grimaced, feeling her self-confidence for the day plummeting. "Thank you, now please leave."
"Strip."
"What?" She was getting sick of all the weird orders she got out of these boys.
Ayato sat down in a chair, one leg crossed and that grin never leaving his face. "You heard me, strip for Ore-sama." His eyes narrowed. "Or I'll have to punish you."
Deciding she didn't want a sore neck so early in the morning, the girl quickly shed herself of her clothes and got on her school uniform. The whole time Ayato commented on every single flaw that he could identify with her body, from her chest size to her lack of ass. If it didn't measure up to a super model, then Ayato was sure to tell her. By the time she was done Tsuna wanted to cry in a corner and binge eat ice cream, that feeling only worsened when she made it to the limo.
Sitting across from her was Shu. He was leaning back against the seat with his ear buds in his ears and more than likely asleep. His complexion was the same, as were his mannerisms, and even his light breathing that didn't seem to exist. Absolutely nothing had changed aside from the fact that he now knew how she tasted.
Wonderful.
One test down, a million more to go.
