Chapter 10

"Hmm... Just how big is this estate really? They even have a forest and a lake that big..." Kuro wondered to herself as she strolled around in the forest in hope that she might discover any possible escape routes from the mansion. Now, it's been almost a month they lived in the mansion. How did they got themselves in the trouble? Oh, yes. Because she had left her four silly sisters alone with two somehow airheaded supervisors. Well, it is partly her fault too for not running away from there when they ordered her to.

In the end, it will ended up like this. Kuro breathed in and out to relax her mind from the work she had to do. It's no one fault actually, she was instinctively doing all the things like protecting her sisters from the boys but at the same time, she still took care of their predators. Kuro sighed heavily as she stretched her arms outwards.

"... Actually... Just knowing the brothers make me wanna give up on running away..." she said, looking back at the huge mansion behind her. There weren't any stars or moon that she can see in the sky. It was pretty dark and she wasn't bringing any flashlight with her. It wasn't a problem for her. Her eyes could see pretty well in dark instead of during daylight. Pretty unusual for a human, huh?

"Haa... I'm so bored... There's nothing much to do in this place is it?" she complained when she suddenly heard heavy raindrops beating on the canopy leaves above.

"Tte- What the-" Kuro quickly sprinted away in search for any shelter from the rain that was starting to pour heavily and fortunately, she found one. The girl gasped for air. She was glad that she was barely drenched and have a shelter as it rains cats and dogs outside.

"Thank goodness this place isn't so far... If not I would for surely be cold... Even the rain doesn't seem to stop any time soon" she said as she looked around and revealed that she was in a crypt.

"Crypt...?" Kuro sat in silence.

"... Just hurry up and stop raining already..." Kuro wished, feeling her eyelids getting heavier until a plopping sound shocked her. The raven looked around and found Shuu who was complete drenched and just lying around at the opposite her her place.

"You shocked me..." she said but the blond vampire didn't respond.

"..." Kuro leaned against the wall and tried to calm herself. She was actually scared being in a place like this, a crypt. A graveyard is fine but not the crypt. She somehow felt better when knowing someone was there with her, trapped by the rain. Kuro peeked at the sleeping vampire.

'Is he not feeling cold at all?' she thought in her mind.

"Oi, aren't you cold? You're drenched completely, you know" Kuro asked when Shuu smirked.

"Why does that matter to you if I'm cold? Huh... Don't bother answering it... ... I don't mind dying out of cold..." he responded.

'Is this guy for real?' The two was silenced and it was a little awkward in fact.

"I was wondering that all of you are brothers... Yet, why are you all seems to not have that friendly relationship?" Kuro asked. Shuu wasn't responding to her question for quite some time. He sighed.

"We're from different mothers..." he answered.

"What?"
"Didn't that girl tell you anything about us?"

"..."

"Anything but that..." Kuro replied while her eyes stared at Shuu's bored expression on his pale face.

"..."

Kuro sighed and removed her sweater - leaving only a thin black tank top to cover her slender body. 'It should be dry enough for him to use' she said in her mind. She had enough seeing the soaked vampire as she neared the vampire and covered his body with it. Shuu opened his eyes in shock to the silent kindness the human did for him. He wanted to thank her but he was too lazy and cold to even speak. He grabbed Kuro's hand when she was about to walked away from him.

"What are yo-"

"..." Shuu' gripped on the soft hand. He sat up and pulled her closer to his body.

"Hey, what are you thinking you're doing?!" Kuro shouted angrily at his act on her.

"Keep it down..." he said as he embraced the human girl who was obviously uncomfortable in his arms. She tried to escape him by struggling. However, Shuu's manly added with his vampiric strength were no match for her.

"Do you think your sweater would be enough to warm me up?" he asked, knowing that Kuro had tired out in his arms.

"Don't you think this is more better?" Shuu teased the raven.

"You pervert! Let go off me! It may be true you will be warmed up but I'll die out of coldness! Dammit!"

Shuu smirked as he rested his head on his new pillow.

"Heh. Then, you should probably think twice before reaching out to a vampire" he said. Kuro threw her sight outside of the crypt only to be disappointed with the rain that was getting worse by minutes. She had no other choice but to stay in that position and keep the vampire warmed. Kuro noticed the light breathing on her back.

'He's asleep already?' she thought and attempted to release herself from Shuu but the vampire's arms tightened more around her.

"...Don't piss me off" the blond warned. Kuro gave up. She was also tired from all the things that happened that night and the whole month. Her cheeks flushed red when thinking of the position she was in with Shuu. Thanks to him, she got soaked as well. Kuro catnapped in the blond vampire's arms without her conscious. Shuu lifted his head and looked at Kuro who was sleeping soundly against his chest.

'This human... Is she for real to be so off guard like this...' he thought. He licked Kuro's neck causing her to jolt awake.

"What?! You- You took advantage of me sleeping!" Kuro said.

"It's not wrong to do that to a food is it?"

"Why you-" Kuro gasped at the sudden searing pain she felt on her throat. Shuu loosened his arms around the raven when she was getting weaker due to blood loss.

"Heh. I told you didn't I? Don't let your guard down when you're around any of us" Shuu reded her.

" Now, let me drink your blood. Be an obedient girl and I will let you free." Kuro clutched Shuu's shirt when he punctured her skin again. Shuu released Kuro from his fangs when noticing Kuro's silent sobbing.

"Heh. That fear you're showing... Show it more to me..." the blond sadist smirked. He licked at the bite mark he left on Kuro's nape. He was about to bite her again but he canceled his intention and hugged her instead. Kuro's black orbs widened.

"Don't near me again after this if you don't want me to hurt you..." he reminded her as he pushed her away from him gently. Kuro was speechless. She just stared at Shuu when he laid down and slept in the crypt. The rain had calm a little than before which gave Kuro to return back to the mansion with ease. While in the crypt, Shuu stared into the darkness - remembering the Kuro humanly warmth, just like Edgar's. He shifted his body and noticed Kuro's sweater. He reached out to it and sighed. He had forgot to thank her and even hurted her after she tried to warm him up. He didn't feel so guilty about it but... The blond grasped the sweater and closed his eyes.

Kuro walked into the mansion and leaned against the wall. She was tired, anaemic and became paranoid. She had felt the same thing like her sisters did. She was about to lose hope as she neared her room when she suddenly heard her sisters' happy laughters from inside of her room.

"Oneechan, is out too long don't you think so?"

"Well, she needed some time to rest... I'm sure she will be back soon enough..."

"Huh... But, I hope she get back soon... I feel safer when she was around..."

"I know right? Yui do you think so?"

"Hm... Actually I do... I'm just glad she came along with you guys. If not, I'll definitely just give up on living."

"To that point?!"

"Yui-neechan... Don't kill yourself"

"Huh? No, of course not Angela... I won't do that since all of you are here now..."

Kuro closed her eyes and smiled weakly. Their happy laughters just blew away her worries. She doesn't have the right to give up while her sisters aren't. She turned around and walked away from the area. That is when she found Subaru resting beside the window in the hallway.

"I can smell your blood from here" he said. Kuro covered her nape and stepped back.

"So, are you scared of us now?" he asked.

"..." Kuro silenced and sighed in tiresome. She was a little traumatised earlier but she knew that she could deal with it. Kuro shook her head.

"... You're a stupid human if you really mean that" Subaru said as he neared her.

"Here, take this key..."

"?!"

"You can leave with the rest of your sisters but leave Yui behind... If not, all of you will be in danger. The others won't like it if everyone leave and might kill you on sight" Subaru explained as he placed a gold key in Kuro's hand. After that, he left. Kuro looked at the key to the only escape chances.

"Ah! Kuro-neechan! *Okaeri!" Mayu said as soon after Kuro entered the room. All of them silenced when looking at her sad face.

"What's wrong, Oneesan?" Lacie questioned. Kuro scanned the room and sighed when not seeing Yui around.

"Yui?"

"She went to take drinks for us at the kitchen..." Angela replied.

"Really?"

"You seemed really gloomy, Oneesan" Nichola stated. Kuro showed her sisters the key she got from Subaru.

"That's a key... What is it for?" Lacie asked.

"To escape from here" Kuro answered which brought smiles to the others'.

"... But..." All attention directed towards Kuro.

"We have to leave Yui when escaping" Kuro continued. The statement killed off the joy in the girls' hearts.

"...Leave Yui-neechan?" Angela reconfirmed what Kuro just said.

"What do you think Oneechan?" Nichola asked.

"It's impossible of course" Lacie replied to her question.

"I would and I'll bring Yui along... If I can" Kuro answered.

"There's something else is it?" Mayu said, gaining Kuro's nod.

"They'll hunt us down and kill us on sight." All of them turned silent.

"If so... We won't leave..." Angela voiced her opinion. Mayu looked at her and got a smile in return.

"Well, I admit that living here is a such a drag and troublesome but... I wouldn't want to leave without Yui" Lacie supported.

"Hm... I promised her that I won't let her suffer alone" Nichola stated.

"Mayu?"

"... Kanato-san scares me a lot but... I don't want Yui-neechan to live with them alone again... I hate alone! So, Oneechan must hate it too!" Mayu replied.

"Good, I think so too. Let's just keep this away and accompany Yui" Kuro said with a smile, then, moved to the table beside her bed.

"In case of emergency, I think we should keep this with us" she said - locking the key in one of the drawer and locked it safe.

"Hey, guys. Sorry it took a while for me to get the drinks..." Yui said when she entered the room with a tray of soft drinks.

"Did I missed anything? Oh and welcome back Oneechan." The girls looked at each other.

"Nah, you didn't miss anything... And you got drinks for me too. Let me have that. I'm so thirsty" Kuro replied.

"Hm... Oneechan... Come to think of it..."

"What?"

"Where's your sweater?" Kuro spurted the drink she had in her mouth.

"You okay?"

"Yea, i-it's dirty so I sent it to the laundry room..."

"Hm..." The other girls stared at the raven with suspicions.

"W-what?" Kuro stuttered nervously.

"Oneechan's so not good at lying..."

"Hm. So not good"

"Maybe, we should tickle her to make her spit them out."

"O-oi! W-why are you showing that looks to me? Why are you wriggling your fingers like perverts? No wait! Sthap! Kyaa!"

"Ahahahahahaha!"

"S-stop! Stap! Don't ti- tickle me!"

As the girls laughed happily in the room, three pairs of eyes observed them from the door crack with devilish grin on their face. Angela felt like someone was watching them and looked at the the door but of course, they had disappeared before she could find them.
