Chapter 14

"Naa, Yukine! Why are you doing this?! Why are you leaving? I thought you would stay if I come back! Are you breaking our promise?"

The flame-haired little girl looked away and hid behind the adult male. No words come out of her mouth to reply the little raven who was being held by the clergymen.

"You broke our promise! What about Mayu? What about the others?! You promise to take care of everyone with me when I returned!" the raven said again. The dam in her tears started to break when she cried. "YUKINE!" she yelled the name angrily with tears. But no matter how much she called for her, the girl never turned to see her and left with her new parent. Her visions were clouded by her tears.

"... Come back... You're my only best friend..."

Kuro shifted on her bed and opened her eyes, slowly adjusting to the blinding lights. She sat up on her bed and wiped away her tears. Her eyes were dark and clouded in sadness. The raven was just about to move away from her bed when she felt a weight on her waist - making her look back at her bed only to find a certain lazy vampire sleeping beside her. And, shirtless. Her cheeks reddened in seconds as her sable eyes widened.

"AHH!" she screamed.

"Ngnn... So noisy..." Shuu said upon waking up. His voice husky and deep. His deep azure eyes stared at the trembling raven who was sitting on the floor, her face was entirely red like tomato.

"What are you doing down there?" he asked Kuro only to receive a pillow landing straight to his face.

"What are YOU doing on my bed?! SHIRTLESS? You pervert!" Kuro backfired angrily. Shuu chuckled.

"Sleeping... And you called me a pervert... Aren't you the real pervert here woman? Your face is so red... Like a tomato" he teased. A seductive smirk carved on his lips.

"GET THE HELL OUT OFF MY ROOM!" Kuro hollered but the blond vampire just chuckled again and lied back on the bed, burying himself in the pillows.

"I said GET OUT!"

Reiji looked up from his book when hearing the echo of Kuro's angry shout. "That gokutsubushi... Always causing mess in this early evening" he sighed as his hand reached out for his tea cup, only to found it empty.

"Nichola" he called. The brunette raised her head from the book she borrowed from Reiji. Her hazel eyes focused on his when he raised his empty teacup to her. She pouted.

"Do you have any problem? I could see you pouting" he said. Nichola looked away and walked to the trolley where she placed the teapot from earlier. The tea inside was still warm as she he poured the tea into the Reiji's teacup.

"... Hm. Thank you..." he thanked the brunette. Nichola nodded. She sighed silently. (Serves me right for doing things by myself...) she complained in her heart. It has been a week since her accident with Takamura and for surely, Reiji was still not satisfied of her actions.

Reiji glanced at one of the papers from Nichola's punishment that she just submitted to him the early evening and sipped a little of his tea. "... It was shocking to know that you could fight. At the very least I will praise you for surviving you encounter with the 'criminal' ." he said. Nichola smiled awkwardly.

"Though... I disapprove of you acting on your own without my consent and for rushing off without telling anyone where you're going" Reiji words killed off Nichola's smile. She looked down to her feet.

"Is there anything you want to say?" the vampire asked.

"... I'm sorry... But, I couldn't help it, Reiji-san. I was panicked when I saw these... The girl could be dead by then" Nichola explained as she handed over the threat note and photo to the second eldest Sakamaki - only to have her eyes widened in shock to know the other one is missing. The one with the severed head.

"... Who mentioned a girl? Where is she?" Reiji broke into a question with a frown when looking at the picture of the frightened girl. Nichola turned dead silent for a while before gasping and panicking - realising her foolish mistake.

"OH MY GOD! I forgot about her!" she shouted in terror at the thought of the forgotten victim of the dead criminal. It's been a week! She could've died alone in there!

"What to do... What to do?!" she chanted in affright. Reiji adjusted his glasses in annoyance. His eyebrow twitching.

"She's still at the hospital is it? Huh..." he guessed with a tired sigh. Nichola dropped to her knees in shame as she nodded.

"I'll contact the police about this..." the poor vampire said in response to the unwise action done by the girl in front of him.

Kuro groaned as she marched angrily to the entrance hall with Shuu trailing her back like a sleepy puppy. "Why are you so angry about that?" he asked.

"I think you would also be angry if someone invades YOUR personal space?!" Kuro answered.

"The whole mansion is my space..." Shuu deadpanned. Kuro turned around and faced him, puffing her cheeks in annoyance. Shuu smugly smirk at the girl's reaction. Kuro huffed and walked away, was about to leave the male alone in the hallway when he grabbed her wrist. Kuro gasped at the sudden tug on her hand.

"..." Shuu just silently stared at the raven not wanting to let her go. Kuro gulped.

"What do you want?" she asked. Shuu sighed and pulled her into an embrace. The raven was loss at words due to the surprised feeling she felt. She blushed madly when Shuu lowered his head to her shoulders. His breath tickling her neck.

"S-shuu?" Kuro stuttered his name when she felt a cold touch on her neck.

"W-wait. You're not gonna bite me now are you? Let me go" Kuro said as she struggled to free herself from Shuu's embrace.

"Shut up, I'm hungry... I need to drink some blood" Shuu said. Kuro whimpered when she felt the arms around her getting tighter and Shuu without wasting time, sunk his fangs into her neck making her gasped at the sudden searing pain. Kuro tried to fight off but her body was defying her. Shuu smirked in triumph when he felt Kuro's struggle was getting weaker.

"Heh. You're all weak already... I just planned to play with you" he teased the human girl. Kuro cursed mentally at Shuu. The blond let go of the raven and grabbed her back when she was about to fall on the floor.

"Damn pervert" she spat at him causing him to chuckle.

"Want me to leave you here?" he asked. Kuro glared at him.

"Well, seems that you really want me to leave you alone here then" he responded to her glare but when he let go of Kuro, she quickly grabbed his shirt to prevent herself from falling. Kuro hissed at him before finding the leftover strength to stand up on her own and walked away from him as fast as she could.

(DEEMO- Evolution Era)

A soft alluring tune of piano echoed in the walls of the music room as those fingers danced gracefully on the piano keys attracting the so-called owner of the room. Shuu looked through the glassed part of the door leading to the room, wondering who could've played the piano in his music room. He was a little full since he drunk Kuro's blood at home and he wanted to hit the sack in the room. To be frank, he was not very happy when a stranger entered the music room and invaded his personal space. The strict and a little annoyed gaze abruptly softened when seeing Kuro playing the piano in the room after he teleported inside. The usual delinquent expressions on her face was no where to be seen and only blissful yet saddened expression showed on her face. (... I never knew she played piano before...) he monologued in his heart. Now that he was inside, the ragged tune he heard from outside was clear and he was no doubt amazed with the beautiful yet melancholic song Kuro played. He silently land his back on one of the couch in the room - not wanting to alarm the raven of his presence until she noticed him herself. He wanted to hear more. The earlier song had ended and Kuro sighed. Shuu noticed on how her expression became so melancholic as if she wanted to cry. The raven let out another sigh before adjusting her fingers back on the keys only to start playing another song.

(DEEMO-KIVA-Morning Drops)

The lullaby from the tune itself become a magic that turned the sad expression on Kuro's beautiful face earlier disappeared like it was washed away by the morning dews on leaves. An image of Edgar suddenly hit Shuu in the mind when he was about to be driven off to sleep. The blond sat up and accidentally alarmed Kuro of his presence. The tune was ended with a stinging noise touched by her as she gasped and turned arund in shock.

"S-Shuu!" she called. Shuu scratched the back of his head. His gaze burning holes in her.

"Why stop?" he asked. Kuro looked away from him.

"Because I don't play for people..." she answered.

"Unfortunately, I'm not just people..." Shuu said as he stood up on his two feet and walked towards the girl.

"I own you, so you'll play for me" he demanded. Kuro sighed and attempted to leave when Shuu held her to keep her seated. He near her face and stared into her eyes.

"I want to hear more" he said sternly, his tone sending unusual vibes to Kuro. she turned herself around to face the piano - knowing that Shuu is not a person for her to fight. Strange at how different is his stern side with the lazy side. Kuro placed her fingers on the keys. She knew until she satisfy the vampire beside her, she wouldn't be able to leave. Well, it's not like she wanted to enter class anyway. Kuro took a deep breath and without her own realisation, her fingers started to dance back on the key to play another tune. (DEEMO - Farewell)

Shuu took a while to stare at the girl's expression and sat beside her on the piano bench - much to her shock that he actually played along with her. Her eyes widened in surprised at how synced their tunes are. Even though, the tune she played was of her own creation. A foreign feeling sneaked into her heart when she looked at him. Shuu pulled back his fingers from the keys and let Kuro played by herself again. He leaned to her shoulder and yawned. Kuro blushed. His soft fluffy hair tickled her neck making her giggle.

"Why are you giggling?" the blond asked.

"Your hair are tickling my neck... Hihi..." Kuro giggled. Shuu's eyes open wide when feeling a soft stroke on his head. He leaned closer to Kuro and purred as she continued stroking his hair. He smiled in content for the treatment he received from the raven. It didn't took long for him to finally doze off while nestling in the Kuro's humanly warmth.

"Edgar..." he mumbled in his sleep. Kuro looked at the blond's peaceful handsome face. Her eyebrows furrowed for a while upon hearing the foreign name later, sighing with a smile. Her eyes darkened when she suddenly remembered someone in her memory. She grasped her fingers into fist as the image of the girl appeared in her mind. The feelings she is familiar most started bubbling up in her heart. Anger. Disappointment. And betrayal. The image of a tomboyish girl with sunray-coloured hair and a pair of adventurous amethyst eyes slowly faded away from her mind. (Yukine...) her heart monologued.

"Adam and Eve..." a deep voice broke the silence in the room. The young man with long white hair stared at four male youth in front of him. One of them being a boy with dark hair and was carrying a book. A blond with bright blue eyes; a shorter one beside him with maroon beret and visibly bandaged arms; also, the tallest among them who possessed brown hair tied in a messy ponytail and a snaggletooth fang is visible when he smiled.

"... My adopted sons... Mukami, do not failed me..." the white-haired male said, later, a smirk carved on his lips.

"Ruki" The dark-haired youth raised up his face.

"As you wish, Karlheinz-sama..." Ruki replied. Karlheinz leaned against his chair and spun around to see the night city view through the glassed window. His unique golden eyes were mocking the humans he saw at the end of the streets.

"... Let my sons learned a bit shall we?" he said.
