Chapter 7

Another night in school. Both Lacie and Nichola had been bitten by Laito and Reiji. And Kuro was becoming even more wary than before. She sighed. After seeing Reiji sending Nichola to her room unconscious, she was enraged.

FLASHBACK;

Kuro frowned at the sight of Reiji outside of Nichola's room. She walked near and quickly stopped at the sight of a bloodied handkerchief in his hand.

"What the hell?!" she cursed. Reiji turned his head to look at the furious black-haired girl. He smirked at her reaction.

"Hmph! Even if you're showing that face, it won't change anything..." he said.

"You infernal bastard!" Kuro cursed out loud. Reiji raised an eyebrow at the human girl who freely cursed him. He faced the girl, abruptly appeared in front of her and slammed her to the wall aggresively. His hand was choking her as his carmine eyes glared back at the sable ones.

"... Are you sure you're in place to say such words to me, human?" he asked with threatening tone. Kuro who was suffocated by him still didn't showed any sign of fear in her eyes, amusing the second eldest among the Sakamaki brothers. His smirk widened.

"Heh... You know how easy it is to kill humans like you?" he threw the question that Kuro for surely, won't answer as his grip tightened on Kuro's delicate neck.

"Very easy" he answered his own answer, then, releasing Kuro from his grasp. The raven hold on to the small table beside her - stubbornly not willing to kneel in front of the vampire as she gasped for air.

"If you're smart, you should know your fate if you continue on with that attitude yours... Heed to the fact that all of you are now our prey and there's no more turning back once you passed that door. And also, there's no use to protect every one of them... Your efforts were futile since the very beginning after all..." Reiji adjusted his glasses, taking his leave from the area.

"... Even..." Reiji stopped in his track but didn't turn back.

"... Even if you said that... I won't give up... My sisters... Are all important for me..." Kuro said. She panted for air and stood up straight.

"I sworn to protect my sisters... And for sure... I'm not afraid of all of you!" Kuro said.

"... Not afraid, huh? Protecting something you can't protect... Foolish mortals..." Reiji said slowly as he left. Kuro sighed in tiresome. She clutched her fingers and closed her eyes.

Kuro touched her neck. She could feel the result of Reiji's assault on her earlier as she silently waits for Nichola to wake up. The raven eyed at the brunette who was sleeping soundly in her bed.

"... Oneesan?" a voice called for her. A figure stood by the door. It's Lacie and she was carrying a bowl of strawberries with her. Nichola's favourite. Kuro could see pink dusting on Lacie's soft cheeks as she pouted.

"Glad you came, Lacie... Is that for Nichola?" Lacie put the bowl on the table beside Nichola's bed.

"...Hm..." Kuro smiled as she closed her book after quite some time reading it.

"She should be grateful that she isn't the first one to be bitten. She's mkaing everyone worry so much" Lacie said.

"Didn't you?"

"..." Lacie pouted again. Then, Nichola shifted in her bed and opened her eyes.

"Hm? Oh, you're awake."

"I'm in my room? Oneechan... And Lacie?" Nichola mumbled. She looked around in confusion.

"Eat the strawberries... Lacie brought it for you..."

"Strawberries? Oh... Thank you, I guess..." Nichola thanked Lacie as she gave her the bowl of strawberries. Nichola sighed.

"Have I slept long?" she asked.

"Quite a few hours..." Kuro replied. Nichola's eyes darkened.

"Sorry to trouble you... Making all of you worry..." Nichola apologised.

"Don't apologise for that... We're living with a bunch of vampires after all..." Kuro said. Of course, sooner or later, her turn will come too. So as the others.

"Protecting something... I can't protect,huh?" Kuro thought in her mind as she grasped the book in her hand. Her eyes stared at the two girls.

"Hurry up and eat the strawberries" Lacie said to Nichola.

"Alright. Alright... I'm eating it... Wait- why is it clean? Where's the seeds outside here?"

"Huh? What's wrong with the seeds?"

"Why did you peeled them off?"

"What? I don't know! Don't ask me! The others did it!"

"Did you know that the seeds contains-"

"Oh... You grandma! Don't start it now!" Kuro smiled at the two as they threw their tantrums at each other - feeling a little relief that they're still them, even though, living with monsters hiding in humans's skin.

"Alright then... Since both of you are already better... I have something to ask you..." Both Nichola and Lacie looked at their eldest sister.

"First. Let go of each other. It's about the lecturer that Nichola mentioned."

"Eh? But you said it was nothing" Nichola said.

"Well, it's no sin to kill off some time with some mystery right?" Kuro responded with a smile.

The next day, the routine started back. As usual, Kuro and Yui would cook the boys' so called breakfast even though the meals were basically dinner's meals.

"Shuu, your steak" Kuro called after cutting the steak into smaller pieces and putting it on the table. The blond as if a pet came by and sat beside the table to filled his empty stomach. Kuro tilted her head slightly as she thought why would they need to eat food while they only need blood to live. But, there's no denial that boys are boys. They consume so much in just a week that Kuro can even guess when will they go out to buy the next week's foodstuff.

"What are you looking at?" Shuu asked after noticing Kuro was staring at him for quite some time.

"... I was wondering why all of you eat human food when you only need blood to survive..." Kuro said.

"... Human food does little for us... It sustains our hunger for short amount of time until we feed human blood..." Shuu said.

"Oh... I see..."

"Well, we won't need it if we had blood containers who are willing to feed us three times a day" Shuu teased with his eyes glancing at Kuro's arm as she reached out for the dirty plate after he ate his steak.

"No" Kuro said shortly. Shuu chuckled as he rested his head on his arm.

"... A prey saying no, huh? Let see if you say that again later on..." he said. Kuro wiped the plate she washed and placed it on the rack silently. She didn't find it funny at all. What Shuu said was a threat, in a much friendly tone. She moved away from the kitchen and returned back to her room to fetch her bag. In any way, she was a little happy today that she might be able to lift a little boredom out of her mind.

"Takamura Arai... Hmm... What will it be this time?" she recalled her target's name for today - the prime suspect of Nichola's disturbance.

As soon as they reached the academy, the only thing that attracted the residents of the Sakamaki mansion were the crowd at the electric bulletin board. Kuro knew at first glimpse there's no way that she could get through to see what's it writing. So as the others. The raven eyed at the smallest girl in the group - Mayu.

"I have to go in that crowd again?" she guessed.

"Good that you know... Even these blockheads won't give that much effect to draw the crowd away" Kuro said.

"Hey! I heard that!" Ayato said.

"Uh... Okay..." Mayu neared the crowd and squeezed through them. Her small body gave her the advantage. She was just only 152cm tall, even smaller than the petite Yui.

"Hmph. What a nuisance" Subaru said as he left the group and went straight to his class, presumably.

"I have no interest here..." Shuu yawned and left.

"Huh... Make sure ALL of you entered the class tonight" Reiji reminded, before leaving as well.

"Teddy and I aren't interested... Teddy... Let's leave these idiots."

"How rude..." Lacie pouted.

"Hmm~ Should I leave too, I wonder~" Laito said.

"I don't mind if you leave" Lacie responded to Laito. Laito chuckled.

"So, Racy-chan want me to stay here~"

"Begone, I said!" Lacie retorted.

"Oi, Chichinashi. I don't think you have anything else to do here. Let's go to the class" Ayato said with a wide grin as he dragged the blonde away from the group.

"Ah? W-wait! Ayato-kun!"

"Shut up and obey Ore-sama!"

"That bastard..." Kuro growled.

"It's just a news on the board. One of the girls got suspended..." Mayu reported her findings.

"Suspension? Why?" Kuro asked.

"She failed to pay her tuition fee" Mayu answered. Kuro and Nichola looked at each other.

"That's all?" Mayu nodded.

"Thanks, Mayu" Kuro thanked her youngest sister and patted her head.

"Better go to your class now..." she continued.

"Oneechan's not sending us?" Angela asked.

"I have work to do... You both will be fine... And if the boys bother you, say my name and I'll crush their heads if they still bothering you two" Kuro replied. Mayu and Angela nodded as they went to their class.

"Nichola, you better enter your class now... I'll proceed on with the investigation..." Kuro instructed the brunette. Nichola nodded and left the area.

"... Now... Before that Mr. Prissy dragged me into the hell hole..." the raven said as she quickly went on to track the lecturer Takamura Arai.

Kuro peeked at the male lecturer from behind the pillar and continued trailing after the adult - noting everything in her mind about the male lecturer and all of it grossed her out. From her observation, the old man is a pervert. Each time he was passing by girls, his eyes would only focus on their feminine assets. Kuro was suspecting this man would even resort to kidnapping girls. Based on the inquiries from the other students also, she found out that the students he picked for his biology class are girls and almost half of them turned introvert after being in his tuition classes.

"Blackmailing...?" Kuro monologued when the bells marking for their short break rang. The students came flooding in the hallways giving her a cover to follow the lecturer without being so suspicious. She followed him to another part of the building where she noticed the students were decreasing from her surrounding.

'Shit. Break's over?' she cursed in her heart. The lecturer stopped, so as Kuro. Takamura at his place was having this feeling that someone was following him. He turned around without warning but found no one. He returned back to the inspect the area nearby.

Fortunately, not noticing the raven who was clinging to the rails on the next floor. Kuro sighed of relief. She was lucky that she had an item used to boost herself to leap up there. She kept eyeing on Takamura when he unlocked a door and entered the room that Kuro assumed his office. The black-haired girl lifted her own body and sat on the railings, decided to wait for him to came out from the room. And after about two hours, the man exited the room in suspicious manner. Kuro noticed that he was bringing something with him and her eyes widened when knowing what it is.

'It's a fucking panty!' the raven shouted in her mind.

"That perverted old bastard..." she cursed as she leaped from the railings when the coast was clear. She didn't waste any time to get the keys or anything and busted down the door - much to her care. The door came crashing to the floor after she kicked it belligerently.

"Tch." Kuro stepped inside and dreaded the interior of the room. The room was filled with... erotic things (think yourself) .

"What type of teacher is he?!" she said with disgust. The girl looked at the computer in the corner and took out Lacie's hacking drive. It's not her usual to hack, unless it's really necessary. Only Lacie was good at hacking things. She a genius in mathematics and programming, for good.

"Alright, let start digging out for the disgusting information shall we?" she said to herself, then, connecting the drive to the computer. Quite some time after this and that with the programs, a file came out and again, Kuro felt like puking for what she found. In the file, there were tons of photos in which the girls were tied and even handcuffed - they were sexually assaulted. Kuro scrolled down more and clicked on a video. She grimaced at what she was seeing. And that was when an idea struck her mind. Her lips carved a impish grin as she vigorously tapping her fingertips on the keyboard. The keyboard was somehow sticky but she didn't want to even think about it. After a few minutes, her grin widened as she tapped on the ENTER button.

"Now, what's left is to wait for a few minutes and..." The raven launched the virus that Lacie made for any occasions like this, busting secrets in a man's computer. Lacie made the virus to freeze the file - it can't be closed and the things in there are the only one that can be opened.

"Hm... Guess Lacie do know how to trick boys better" she said as she removed the drive from the computer and left the room. She could care less about the broken door. At least it will give an easier access for passerby to look what's there - the nature of the indecent biology lecturer. As the girl stepped out of the room, a sudden roaring of laughters filled the air. The girl giggled when hearing she heard the announcer was on.

"Mr. Takamura Arui... An urgent call for you from the Superintendent. Please report yourself... To his office now" a male voice ordered.

"Whoopps..." Kuro smiled like a little imp and glided away from the area, not wanting anyone to know that it was her doing. The raven was contented. She managed to skipped class and bust a damn pervert in the school. She went straight to the rooftop and rested herself on one of the benches - deciding to sleep for the rest of the night until it's time to go back to the prison.

"What you name?"

"Where did you come from?"

"Black hair..."

"Black eyes..."

"We'll call you, Kuro..."

"AH! You little beast!"

"What's with this child?!"

"Acting like a real beast!"

"You hurted my child!"

"... Why... Why are this people hurting them?"

Kuro jolted up from her sleep, panting heavily as she pressed her palm on her temple. She sighed.

"... ...Beast..." she recalled back what she had heard in her dream. Anzaki Kuro. No Anzaki Azuki - her real name. That's the only thing she remembered from her fogged past. She had lost her memories from before she was five. She grew up at the church with her other sisters and ended up taking care of them, then, made them her sworn sisters. And yes, she was violent from the first time she arrived in the church which is why everyone called her a beast.

When living in the church, at least a few prayer rooms were destroyed because of her wild tantrums back then. She chuckled at her own deeds. She looked kinda like Subaru in a way but of course she won't admit it out loud. Just then, the bells rang, marking the end of school hours. The raven stood up and ran down to the academy's lobby where she found that her sisters just arrived there like she was. For sure as well, she heard the chattering about Takamura Arui's busted deals.

"Oneechan... You really did it!" Nichola exclaimed on sight of Kuro.

"Well, I told you I won't miss the fun. Here, Lacie!" Kuro replied as she tossed the drive to blonde.

"... That disgusting man had been caught red-handed... Nothing more fun than seeing his dreadful face later on when the police come."

"Eh? You contacted the police?"

"Hm? Of course not... The admin did."

"So... It is Succubus-chan's doing~" Laito intervened.

"Hmph."

"... You people... That girl..." the girls turned to look at Takamura Arui whose face was wet, of course due to him bawling his eyes out to his exposed immorals.

"Speaking of the devil..." Kuro said.

"SO, IT WAS YOU! YOU LITTLE BRAT MUST HAVE TOLD THEM!" Kuro gasped when seeing Takamura's hand that was carrying a pair of scissors and he was charging right towards Nichola.

"Nicho-" Kuro knew she won't be fast enough to help her. And to her surprise, there's a person who retained the foul perverted brute before she could. It was Reiji.

"To assault a student like that... You don't deserve to be called a teacher" he said,then throwing him straight to the group of policemen behind them.

"W-wait! I'm not guilty! Someone broke into my room!"

"You can explain yourself in the station, sir. Now get in the car!"

"No! NOOOO!"

"... Foolish mortal" Reiji said. He gave a sharp glare at Nichola and Kuro.

"I think one of you have the explanations..." Kuro shrugged off, poker face but mentally, she's laughing at him like an idiot. Nichola squirmed in anxiety at the look that Reiji gave her.

"Now. Now. Reiji... Why don't you just ignore this one and let them get away from it, naa?" Laito suggested. The dark-haired vampire sighed heavily.

"You'd better not do anything reckless again... Or else..." Reiji said as he entered the limo that was already waiting for the rest of the its guests to get in.

"Oneechan... I think I should thank you for the trouble" Nichola thanked the raven.

"Don't bother... It's my job to relief all of your worries... C'mon. Let's go. I don't want Reiji-" Kuro gagged at her own words.

"I mispoke - I mean Mr. Prissy nag at me like a grandma again" Kuro continued.

'Are you THAT desperate to correct your words?!' Nichola thought.

"Come on... Let's go..."

"Oneechan!" Yui called after the raven.

"Ah, Yui... You're late" Kuro replied to her as she flicked her forehead. Yui stuck her tongue and giggled while rubbing her forehead where Kuro had flicked.

"Sorry. It was home economics earlier and I was packing this"

"What's that?" Lacie came joining the girls.

"Uwaa~ Is that strawberry tart?"

"Yea. I think?"

"Let's eat it when we reach the mansion... Oh, and some tea would be nice"

"Tea? At this time, Lacie? Seriously?"

"Is that wrong?"

"Well, not that it's wrong or anything..."

From behind, not quite far from the girls, a pair of envious green eyes were staring at them with dissatisfaction. The petite blonde was with him alright earlier until she spotted her so-called sisters. He clicked his tongue in annoyance. He could just drag her away like he used to when with his brothers but he couldn't do it when she's with the girls.

"That stupid Chichinashi..." Ayato murmured with a pout.
