Chapter 28
It was twilight on the grounds of Kurosu Academia. It was only twilight and dawn that students from both the Day and Night Classes were permitted to meet, but that was only for a couple of minutes as they walked by each other to class or to bed.
Many weeks had passed since the day that Mori (Hokage) Kurei and Vlad Draculae had come to Kurosu Academia. Today was the day that Recca showed up. He was right on
"Aniki," he said. He was confused as to what to do. He wanted so badly to throw his arms around his elder half-brother, but…the past held him back. I missed you, oni-sama.
"Recca," said Kurei impassively. Kuso. He's so beautiful.
"Kurei," Recca's friends gave him their acknowledgement. His ex-subordinates were standing their watching.
"It's been a long time," said Recca. Whether it was centuries, or two-three years, the meaning was lost.
"Yes," said Kurei.
"Oni-sama!" cried Koganei Kaoru.
Kurei ruffled his brown hair. The boy's face split into a grin.
"Okay?" muttered Recca's friends. Since when did ice prince Kurei show affection?
Knowing what Recca's friends were thinking, he smirked. A fang protruded under his lip. "I've had a long time to change."
"Eh?!" shrieked Fuuko and Yanagi.
"He means he's a vampire," said Kagero.
"WTF?!" Everyone edged away from him. Everyone save the original Day Class who were already Enlightened to the Truth, well, and the Night Class which was made up of Vampyr anyway.
"Welcome to the club," said Hanabusa. He held out his hand for Kurei to shake. "If I remember correctly, Kain wouldn't let me meet you. He thought you were dangerous. So we have never met before.
"Of course," said Kurei smirking. "I am dangerous. I waited too long…four hundred years. I restrained my self for the past sixteen-seventeen years."
"For what?" asked Recca apprehensively.
"…my mate." His eyes roamed the crowd, as if searching for the one.
A chill ran down Recca's spine, when Kurei's eyes lingered on him. He passed it off as the blowing wind. "Let's go," he told his friends. They grabbed their books and moved towards the Day Class dorms.
When he had returned to his dorms, Recca was unable to sleep. His thoughts turned to that of his older half-brother. Mate…his life partner...why would someone want to be bound to him? He's so morose and bitter. He does need to lighten up. That person should be able to help him…Why do I feel that I want to be the one?
When Recca entered his room, he stripped and took a shower in the adjoining bathroom. Having done so, he quickly dried himself and put on his nightclothes. He slipped into bed. He fell into a dreamless sleep. He did not notice a shadow at his window, nor did he hear it open.
A figure dropped soundlessly into Recca's room. The figure grabbed the sleeping boy and held him in the bridle style.
This figure was Kurei. He jumped out the window; he closed it silently behind him.
