Chapter 6
Now, it's been a week Yui's sisters lived along in the ominous mansion. Lacie had recovered from her anemia for quite a while now and the others were on high alarm after Lacie got her blood sucked by Laito. As they adjust themselves with the new nocturnal lifestyle, they were searching for escape way for them. At the moment, almost everyone were at the kitchen. Yui and Kuro were busy cooking for their dinner or the boys' breakfast. While the other girls just relaxing around - none of them actually dares to wander around by themselves anymore.
"...Huh..." Kuro sighed after finished cooking her side of dishes - steak and takoyaki.
"Shuu... Ayato... Your food are ready" she called out for the two as she moved towards Yui and helped her with the mini cakes Kanato requested.
"Hehe... Ore-sama's favourite. This better be delicious or I'll kill you, Pest" Ayato exclaimed after appearing out of no where in front of the plate filled with fresh takoyaki.
"You're welcome, little brat" Kuro replied, shooting Ayato with a death glare.
"Huh... Hm? Why is my steak so big?" Shuu said, also appearing out of no where in front of his rare steak.
"Cut it for me" Shuu ordered as he lazily pushed the plate to the edge on purpose when Kuro quickly grabbed hold of it before it fell to the floor.
"You ungrateful- Huh..." Kuro sighed heavily as she took a knife and cut the steak into smaller pieces, enough to fit in the lazy-ass blond vampire's mouth. In a week, the raven had to do lots of things in the mansion and not to mention in school. Usually, if she was at the church, she would only have to take care of the little children - her sisters are out of questions. They can look after themselves, even the timid Angela. But now, she had to literally come to their room every night to make sure that they are fine and free from any of the boys. Also, she had to deal with her any one of her sisters who loved to suddenly appear in her room, crying and acted like a little kid to sleep beside her. Plus, the boys except for Reiji if you don't mind. He's Mr. Prissy Butler for god sake.
"Tch" Kuro clicked her tongue as she drowned in her thought. Just when she thought to be free from worries. In school? Different story, she would have to send Mayu and Angela to their class each night. Save Lacie from being carried away by a bunch of male students and worst, she can't even skip classes! It's only been a week! If she were to live like that for the rest of the month, she's definitely losing her sanity. If she was outside, she could easily have fun and released all the tensions. But after coming here, all of her activities were restricted. Thanks to Reiji, of course. Why is she the one to do all of the work to take care of her sisters? Because, she's the only one who didn't show fear to any of the boys AND she's the eldest. The boys? Instinct.
"...Alright, everyone. Get in the car. We're leaving now" Reiji's voice snapped Kuro out of her own thoughts. She wiped her wet hands with the towel and fixed her uniform. And uniform. Oh, how she would loved to throw all the vest and ribbons away. She looked at her sisters from behind as they entered the limo with the brothers.
"Oneechan?" Yui called.
"Ou... Yea. Coming..."
"Kuro-neechan look pretty exhausted this week don't you think so, Nichola?" Yui asked Nichola as soon after they get out of the limo. Nichola sighed.
"More than ever... She's really trying her best to protect us from them" she replied as she eyed at the eldest girl in the group roaring angrily at a group of junior high male students - shooing them off from their two precious youngest sisters. Dark undertones beneath her eyes were visible, proving that she had not get enough sleep along the week.
"I feel bad for troubling her like that so much..." Yui sighed.
"What for? It's not your fault..." Nichola asked.
"I'm the one who started all this and I dragged all of you... So..."
"I told you right, Yui. It already happened. There's no use regretting it anymore. And as for Kuro-neechan... She's stronger than she look. Trust me, this is nothing for her..." Nichola assured. Yui nodded to assurance but her heart still feels guilty.
"... Anyway, let's get to our class already. I don't want to be late for our first class tonight." Yui smiled as Nichola left for class, like she always do. For as long she knew her, she never skipped class for no reason - a complete of Kuro who always skip classes with not absolute and legal permissions. She could say that she was forced to go for classes due to Reiji's 'orders'. Yui caught up to Nichola as she thought how lucky she was to be together with her sisters even though they have a foot in their graves.
Nichola sighed heavily. She had been searching for her notebook but didn't find it anywhere. Did she misplaced it somewhere?
"Nichola? What's wrong?" Yui asked as she prepared everything she needs for her next class. Usually Nichola would be the first to be ready but she she seems occupied and stressed.
"I've lost my notebook... I'm sure I bring it along with me all the time..." Nichola responded sadly.
"Notebook?" Yui said, tilting her head.
"The notebook that I always jotted on during lectures..."
"Do you need it that much?" Then, Ayato's voice interrupted.
"Unlike you mister, I'm not wasting my time sleeping in class. So, I have all my necessary notes written for my studies" Nichola sharply replied. Ayato grimaced.
"I dare you say that one more time!" he said, baring his fangs at Nichola. The brunette was silently intimidated by the threat but she paid no mind to show it. Therefore, she decided to leave the class and searched for the notebook instead.
"Nichola?" Yui called.
"I need to look for it. I know this is not good but can you please cover me when the teacher ask where I am" Nichola said briefly before leaving the class.
"Ah? Nichola? Wait-"
"Oi, Chichinashi. Let her be, dammit. You should worry about yourself more than her" Ayato disrupted. Yui flinched at Ayato's menacing eyes on her, so she ran away from the class to the biology lab - leaving Ayato in the class alone.
"Tch. She ran away... That coward" Ayato said, grinning before following her trails to the biology class.
Nichola stopped her track as she reached the empty chemistry lab where they had their previous class before. She searched each table and other possible places where she might dropped the book.
"It's not here neither..." she said after almost half an hour searching.
"Where could it be..." she wondered.
"What are you doing here at this time?" a male voice startled Nichola. The brunette turned to her back and found her biology lecturer - Mr. Takamura. But what's is he doing there in the chemistry lab? Should he be in her next class now? Nichola looked at the suspicious-looking bottle in his hand. The lecturer seems to notice that she was looking at it that he quickly keep it in his lab coat.
"Aren't you supposed to be in my class now?" Takamura questioned.
"I'm sorry, sensei... But I was searching for my notebook that I might have dropped here" Nichola answered. She was a little disturbed to the fact that she was caught red-handed skipping class by the lecturer itself.
"Well, there's no helping it isn't it? Did you find the book?"
"...No, sir..." Again, Nichola answered, heartbroken.
"Then, please return back to the class with me..." the lecturer said as he walked passed by Nichola, leaving the laboratory in a suspicious manner. Nichola frowned at his weird attitude. It is as if he just did something wrong. Nichola looked at the door which leads to the lab's storage room. She looked back into the lab. No sign of Mr. Takamura. The brunette silently walked towards the door and was about to hold the handle when;
"Miss Anne" Takamura halted Nichola's actions with his sudden call.
"What are you doing? I said leave" the man said, stressing on the word leave. Nichola had to gave up. She knew if she were to do anything more than this she will be in more danger, or at least what she thinks.
"Yes, sir..." she replied weakly as she made her way outside of the lab and had to walk before Takamura to the biology lab where she later sat at the table with Yui, Ayato and Kanato.
"Did you found it?" Yui asked but Nichola replied by shaking her head.
"But I did found something else... I guess..." Nichola stated with a swift glance at Takamura who was giving his boring lectures in front.
As soon after their arrival to the mansion, Kuro went straight to her room as her usual routine since they first went to the Ryoutei Academy. Mayu went to Angela's room to finished their homeworks. Lacie was trying her best to run away from Laito's sexual harassment on her - even if it means to sleep in Kuro's bed. Yui went to the kitchen to cook takoyaki for The great Orea-sama. And Nichola who would usually went along to her room but she changed it that night. She went to Kuro's room instead.
As usual, she would hear grumbling noises and other dreadful noises coming from the room. The brunette was expecting to see some broken things in the room when she entered, of course.
"Oneechan, I'm coming in..." Nichola said as she turned the door's handle and peeked inside. The room was spacious. Most of the furnitures and interior of the room are vintage also not to mention, really expensive. It somehow matched Kuro's room decoration's preference. Praises to Reiji Sakamaki, the Mr. Prissy Butler for good, said Kuro when she was given the room to stay in. Nothing in that room resembles anything dark. The female delinquent may be violent all the time but she have soft heart. And no stranger who just got beat up by her would trust that genuinely. And as she thought, a cushion was left only its outer cover. The insides? Who knows? The brunette looked around. An alarm clock had also been destroyed.
"What's up Nichola?" Kuro asked. Nichola looked around for the owner of the voice. Where's she?
"Down here..." Nichola bent down and looked under the bed.
"Oneechan? What are you doing down there?"
"Don't ask that... What is it?" Kuro said with lazy voice. Nichola could see her ears shut with earphones. She really doesn't want any of the brothers to bother her isn't it?
"I have something to ask you. Well, you see I was searching for my notebook that I had lost and I found Takamura-sensei, my biology teacher with a bottle from the chemistry lab..." Nichola said as she sat beside the bed.
"He's a weird person if I were to say about him and even from the other girls' story, they noticed that he likes to stare at girls. In class, he just read the textbook and he always gave me this weird look when I'm in front of him..." she continued.
"..."
"I think he might planned something..." Nichola voiced out her opinion. Kuro remained silent for a while before broke it with a question.
"Does he handle anything in the school?" Kuro asked.
"Hmm... ...Tuition classes for biology subject" Nichola answered. Kuro silenced back.
"It's nothing." she came out with the short phrase.
"Eh?! That's all?"
"You're just over thinking it... Maybe he was taking a chemical for the subject's experiment... He used the bottle's contents for your experiments, right?" Kuro said.
"How'd you-"
"I can smell gas on your uniform" Kuro answered Nichola before she could finished asking.
"You're doing experiment under the Nutrition chapter, right? Maybe it's just some juice or something he wanted to use..." she continued.
"Now, leave me alone. And lock the door. I don't want anyone come barging in when I'm sleeping tonight" Kuro reminded Nichola with cranky tone. Nichola nodded and leave the room, unsatisfied. She was sure it wasn't some juice for experiment. Well, it may have been so because it's the same bottle she saw from the chemistry lab. But who put juice in a thick glass bottle like that? He could at least used some beaker.
The girl returned to her room and changed her uniform to her casual outfit - a peach-coloured 3/4 blouse made by Mayu for her tucked in a black knee-length skirt and a pair of simple black flats with a little details on it. Casual and easy to move with - her clothing preference.
"Maybe Oneechan was right... I should calm myself down... And think back where I could've placed the notebook..." Nichola monologued, getting out of her room with the attention of going to visit Mayu and Angela in Angela's room when she suddenly heard a certain voice called out for her. It was Reiji. And he has also changed from his school uniform to his casual outfit - also make him look so much like a butler.
"Come with me" the dark-haired male vampire requested. Nichola didn't dare to question him at the sight of a whip he's carrying.
'Of course it's necessary for a do-S (extreme sadist)' she thought in her heart as she silently followed Reiji from behind to a door of a room. Reiji opened the door and revealed an organized room with a few bookshelf at first sight.
"Come inside" Reiji shortly ordered. Nichola obeyed him nervously. As Reji closed the door, she looked around the spacious room, more spacious than Kuro's. At a side there are experimental apparatus which sent chills to the human girl. She quickly reverted her sight to the other side of the room where a king-sized bed are neatly arranged. And also, a small resting area before the bed. Nichola noticed that the room's interior are mostly decorated in royal blue colour.
"Have a seat. I'll make you tea" Nichola felt suspicious of Reiji's behaviour. She didn't dare to sit on the couch.
"What's with the face you're showing?" Reiji asked.
"I'm just wondering why are you suddenly asking me to be in this room with you" Nichola replied which gained Reiji's smirk.
"And does that really matter?" Reiji asked again as he served a cup of tea on the table.
"It's suspicious..." Nichola said.
"If so, then why did you follow me?" Reiji asked again. Nichola felt threatened by his words.
"Then, I'll just leave..."
"After I served the tea for you?" Nichola stopped her pace to leave the room and turned back reluctantly.
"Now, sit there and drink the tea" Reiji ordered. Nichola slowly sat on the couch. She looked at the red tea in the china cup with a bad feeling. As much as she doesn't want to drink it, she had to. It is after all very rude to leave after someone had served something to the guest. Nichola bit her lip and finally sipped the tea after quite some time. Her hazel-brown eyes widened as she felt as if a high voltage of electricity ran through her body and stopped at her brain, dazing her mind. She dropped the teacup on the floor, thus breaking it to pieces. The poor girl's premonition was right. She was drugged and worst, she didn't know what was the drug Reiji used on her or how dangerous it would be.
Nichola's body limp on the couch. She looked at Reiji who was giving her a sadistic smile - a prove that the vampire was enjoying her pain. Nichola felt it was too long for her to even digest the pain she was feeling.
"What... did you... give-" Nichola's words stopped halfway in her throat. She couldn't feel her body. Reiji stood up and walked to the table where he placed all of his experimental items and potions including the poison he used on Nichola.
"There's no need to be worry I guess... It seems that it won't endanger your life. At the moment, that is..." Reiji stated, grabbing hold of a small blue vial and returned back to Nichola. He lifted her chin and forced open her mouth to pour the antidote for the poison into her mouth. The bitter liquid choke Nichola making her gag and plopped onto the floor after Reiji carelessly let her go.
"It's inappropriate to cough out loud like that... Where are your manners, Nichola Anne?" Reiji said, looking down to the girl before him.
"Hmph... Humans..." he sighed after seeing Nichola aren't even able to stand up of her own two feet.
"How unsightly really... Such weak creatures..." He hold Nichola's arm and pulled her up close to him. His eyes showed lust for blood as he looked at her exposed neck.
"Mortals are nothing but containers of blood... Let's see if you deserve living longer than your sisters" he said - baring his fangs at her.
"N-no..." Nichola said, her words hardly to be heard. Reiji ignored her refusal and sank his fangs in her neck. Nichola winced to the pain inflicted from the sudden bite.
'So this is what she had been feeling... What Lacie felt...' Nichola glanced at Reiji arm on the side and pushed it away which later prying Reiji of her but the vampire slammed the shelf angrily. A few books fell to the floor due to the impact.
"Know you place human! I detest disobedient humans" he roared. He hand grasped Nichola's wrist tightly causing her to flinch in pain.
"...Heh... That look of fear in you eyes... That's right, fear me more... More and more... Until to the point you break. Humans like you after all are useless..." he whispered in her ears.
"... I won't let you die happy..." Nichola closed her eyes as fatigue and blood loss got the best of her with those words were the last thing she would hear.
