A/N: Hello everyone! I brought you all a new chapter after a long wait. I'm actually going to be looking for a beta to correct the last chapters and help with new ones. Let me know via PM if you're interested!
The Translator001: They are aren't they? I love stories that happen to have that so I do my best to write in a similar fashion.
...
Ayato was not sure what to feel as he stared down at a giggling Tsuna. She had a hand to her mouth and her eyes were watering making them look larger than normal. Not once since the girl came had he heard her laugh and he wasn't sure he wanted to hear it again. It wasn't one of those sweet slightly deep laughs that sounded rather feminine and cute, but instead it was high pitched and scratchy as if she had a sore throat and was coughing while laughing.
"What's so funny, Chichinashi?" He asked, irritation blooming as she laughed at his question.
She clenched her hand over her mouth muffling her voice. "I-I dun know..." She dropped her hand and stared at him. "Do you know what's funny?"
With her hand gone he could see that her face was slightly red. "Yeah, seeing you drowning in a pool of your own blood."
She hiccuped and leaned against the wall."T-That's not funny but you're always so mean to me." Her lower lip began to tremble. "You're always sayin' mean things to me and then go and taken my blood and hurtin' me."
He stared at the girl as she continued to whine over his many misdoings towards her. This was unnatural behavior for the girl, if he didn't know any better he would think she was drunk. Grabbing her by the chin he leaned his face down towards her making the girl squawk in protest. "L-Let me go!"
"Shut up, Chichinashi." His nose wrinkled when a blast of her breath skimmed his nose. It smelled heavily of alcohol and practically mad his nose hair burn. "Where in the hell did you get alcohol from?"
"Alcohol?" She stopped moving staring up at him with a serious expression on her face. "Stay thirsty my friends."
That was it she was definitely drunk. He watched her blow some of her hair out of her face with a small smile on her lips. It was obvious she was a silly drunk that couldn't keep her attention on one thing for very long. Perhaps he could use this to his advantage and finally make her his in every way shape and form. Considering how hammered she was it was unlikely that she would remember anything he did to her. His grip on her chin tightened as excitement began rolling through his veins. The girl wasn't fertile right now so chances of pregnancy was low and on top of that she had the distinct odor of a virgin.
Perfect.
His hand left her chin to hold the back of her head. "You're in luck Chichinashi. Tonight I'm going to make you mine and no one else will ever feed from you again."
She shifted in his grip. "You're going to kill me."
His head descended to her neck. "Far from it."
Bringing his lips to her neck he tasted it with his tongue getting used to her taste. Her skin itself didn't taste all that bad, if he was the type that actually ate people he wouldn't mind eating her skin. Coating some of her old bites in his saliva he listened as quiet gasps escaped her mouth and betrayed any sense of dislike she may have had. He smirked against her skin as he descended lower until he reached her neckline. Hooking a finger on it he slid it down just to find a bite there.
This bite wasn't like most others it was obvious that there had been no struggling. Anger bubbled up where excitement once coursed and he pushed her fully against the wall causing her to yelp in pain. "Who bit you?"
She shook her head some of the light blue locks getting in her face. "I don't be remembering, do ya still wanna bite me?"
His grip on her tightened and she yelped again, but this time arched her back in an attempt to get away. "Don't lie to me, Chichinashi!"
"She's not." Kanato said holding his teddy bear close to his chest with a smug smirk on his lips. "She's too drunk to remember much of anything. Isn't that strange? Humans are really too fragile to live with vampires, huh?"
Ayato's acid green eyes narrowed. "You already know she belongs to Ore-sama so leave her alone you brat!"
As if someone flipped a switch the older vampire's face twisted into a frown that sported a tear filled glare. "She doesn't just belong to you! They gave her to us so we all could eat! Why do you always have to have everything and can't just leave me alone!"
"Because you're a pathetic crybaby." Ayato stated. "Every time someone turns around you're always crying and whining about how you can't get your way. No one gives a damn about your tears and never will."
"Take that back!"
"Make me, Brat."
Sceaming in anguish Kanato launched himself at Ayato, just for the younger vampire to grab at his collar and raise him off the ground. "Now look who's still needing to be held."
Kanato kicked his feet n an attempt to get away making his brother laugh at his efforts. So engaged in their fight they didn't notice that Tsuna had begun to wander off, her steps hesitant and almost tripping over themselves.
...
Tsuna was surrounded completely in warmth when she awoke and also had a pounding headache that tried to drill a hole into her skull. "Why do I hurt today?"
Blinking wearily she winced when the harsh overhead light shined down on her face. "Slut-chan isn't immune to hangovers? Hm, very human indeed."
Not having the energy to question why Laito was in her bed she just moaned in response and slammed a pillow over her head. She didn't have a hangover, her parents thought it was sinful to drink so even her older siblings who made it to the legal drinking age never drank in front of her parents. God forbid someone her age actually did such a crime even if it was all the way in Japan.
She flinched when she felt a cold hand on her leg. "You're not going to even ask what you did while drunk?"
"I wasn't drunk." She muttered. "And please stop touching me, you're making me uncomfortable."
A smirk curled on Laito's face. "That's making you uncomfortable, Slut-chan? What about what we did earlier this morning that would make even a porn star blush in shame."
She removed a bit of the pillow so she could look up at the vampire. "Wouldn't I hurt if we had sex?"
"Who said we went all the way."
Tsuna's face went pale and she sat up immediately pulling off her night shirt without any sense of modesty. The sight immediately made the vampire laugh at her which she promptly ignored in favor of staring at her bite marks. They were around her collar-bone and a bit lower these were a normal sight yet a shudder went down her spine due to not remembering how they got there.
Glancing back at Laito she curled an arm around her chest and turned to face him fully. "Did..did you do this?"
She flinched when he touched one of her marks. "Unfortunately, no. Too bad I didn't looks like you were a real whore and let Kanato bite you."
"What!" She shook her head, her stomach reeling in absolute disgust. "I'd never want someone to bite me, Laito."
"So says your unconventional hickey." He slid off her bed and adjusted his fedora. "Well I've got to get ready for school, see you, later Slut-chan."
The vampire walked out the door leaving a half-naked Tsuna behind. Taking a deep breath she dropped her arms and stared down at her marks. She honestly didn't remember doing anything with Kanato, especially something painful like getting bit. Shrugging she crawled out of bed and took a cold shower in an effort to help her headache and jog her memory. However whenever it got to the point that she got home from school she came to a brick wall.
Wrapping a fluffy pink towel around her body she walked to her wardrobe and pulled out her uniform her thoughts still on her bites. Perhaps she should be happy she didn't remember any of the bites. Getting bit hurt and always stirred disturbing feelings inside of her anyway, not remembering it for once could be seen as a breath of fresh air. She paused in buttoning up her blouse and stared at herself in a mirror for a moment. But what if this was just another trick created by the vampires? What if she started forgetting vital things like family, the password for her computer back home, or even her favorite zombie slaying weapon!
Her gaze drifted from the mirror to the diary on her desk. She would definitely start using it now that this problem had arisen but perhaps she needed something a little more concrete. As far as her research was concerned she knew that vampires couldn't make you forget things...Maybe it had been alcohol? Her nose wrinkled at the thought. If it was alcohol that would explain her headache and the massive blackhole in her memory.
"But I need to remember this morning..."
She continued putting on her clothes and went downstairs to the kitchen to eat something. Inside was Reiji who was sitting at a table and eating a bagel that had plain cream cheese spread across it. Cautiously walking past him she grabbed an apple out of the fridge and bit into it, the loud crunch making her head hurt all the more.
"I recently looked over your school reports." Reiji announced making Tsuna nearly slam her head into the refrigerator in irritation. Didn't he know she had more important things to think about than her school work?
"Really?" She swallowed her bite of apple. "I hope they were legible I know I have sloppy handwriting."
His eyes narrowed in irritation. "Your Japanese is terrible so is any other form of work that you do." He plucked up his plate and set it into the sink filled with hot water. "Now that you are living with us I expect you to keep high grades and not slack off as if this was a vacation."
Tsuna wanted to point out that he was fulfilling a stereotype but decided against it when she noticed his grip on the blue sponge. "With exams coming in a month I expect your grades to be impeccable."
"Yes, Reiji-san." She twirled her apple in her hand. "Um...Do you think I could have a bit of a break? I mean Japanese isn't my native language and-"
"If you study the material given to you that should be more than enough." He stated, turning his back on her entirely to cue the end of their discussion.
The girl sighed and bit into her apple again. There was no way she could focus on school work, surviving, and patching the hole in her memory. Leaning against the refrigerator she stared up at the ceiling. Maybe it was time for a little heavenly help...Going to the church was going to be difficult but not entirely impossible, and if she did go to a church maybe she could find someone who knew something about vampires. She found it very hard to believe that vampires existed and the church hadn't been gung-ho with slaying them.
She probably should have tried to do this a long time ago, but back then she had been stubborn and wanted to kill them by her own hands. Yet after being brutally wounded by Ayato, her body liking to get bitten, and her memory coming up with blanks she was sure it was time for some outside help. The only issue with all of this was doing it without anyone noticing her.
