People have been getting on my nerves about this.
I do not own Rosario + Vampire, or anything affiliated.
I only own OCs
There will be more at the bottom.
With that, here's Meet the Konimes; the Mouse Inside the Snake Pit
Kurai's P.O.V
If there's one thing I hate, one thing that I wished man did not have to go through, it's having your girlfriend wake you up at five in the morning, nag you to pack, pick out your clothes for you, and drag you across the woods to the bus stop.
Funny thing, when I'm up this early, I have a tendency to complain, a lot. "Remind me why we can't catch a later bus? How about five in the afternoon instead of in the morning?"
Kiria gripped my hand like a wrench and dragged my butt across the Yokai woods. "Because I want to catch the first bus so I can get home early and surprise my family before they wake up."
Well on the upside, Kiria was kind enough to bring me coffee. At least I won't act like a complete ass the rest of the trip.
We finally made it to the cliff overlooking the red sea. Not too far from us was the scarecrow bus stop. We placed our suitcases down and looked across the red horizon.
As they waited for the bus, Kurai couldn't help but stare in awe at Kiria in her dress. She adopted a more casual style, a sleeveless pink dress with a pleated skirt that reached up to her thighs, showing off a lot of leg. The chest was adorned with a small red ribbon, and the dress showed off a lot of cleavage. She had a pair of light flip flops that matched the dress perfectly, and her long white hair had a more natural look to it.
She saw him staring at her chest and smirked. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a light peck. "Like what you see?" Kurai stared down at her in awe, marveling at how at ease she was with showing him her body. He began to feel his cheeks burn and soon his entire face went red.
Kiria saw him blush and smiled. He was just so cute when he was embarrassed!
"Kurai," she said firmly, "it's perfectly alright for you to look at my body, you're the only one who's going to see me like this so you better appreciate it fully!"
Kurai was slightly taken aback at how assertive she was being, it was different from the Kiria he knew, and it was….really hot.
Kiria looked at the clothes she picked out for him. It was a simple black runner's jacket over a pair of dark jeans, and white sneakers.
She backed a little bit. "And besides, you look really good in that."
"I do look good, don't I?" Kurai smirked.
Kiria walked up to him and rested her head on his chest. "You do."
Kurai looked down at her and smirked. "Thanks." He chuckled and kissed her forehead.
Kiria decided to change the subject to more important matters. "Are you nervous about meeting my entire family?"
"No No No No No. Meeting them would be a few hours, a day maybe. I'm more nervous about spending the entire Christmas break with a family of Angels."
Their conversation was interrupted as the sight of the freaky bus came into view from the tunnel.
Kurai picked up the suitcases and gestured to the bus. "Let's go."
Kurai's P.O.V
I was the first to step on the bus where I was greeted by the Bus Driver. Call me crazy, but I think he got even creepier.
He took the cigar out of his mouth and puffed a smoke ring in my face.
"Smoking at five in the morning? You know that's not good for your health, right?"
He chuckled and turned to the window. "You'll understand when you're older."
As I took my seat and placed the bags down, I turned around expecting to see Kiria right behind me. Instead I saw her whisper something in the Bus Driver's ear, and give him a slip of paper. He simply nodded and she walked to the seat.
"What were you just talking about?" I asked.
"Nothing important." She replied. "Hey do you mind if I sit on the window side?"
I stood up and gestured to it. "Go on ahead."
As the bus took off from the tunnel into the human world, my eyelids started to become extremely heavy and I realized I was still tired.
'I forgot it's almost six.' As I started to drift, I felt two hands clutch onto my head and pull me down. My cheeks pressed against extremely soft material, and I saw legs drifting down in front of me. I felt ginger soft hands stroke my hair, leaving me a feeling of deeper fatigue. I was so tired, that I didn't care that my cheeks were burning.
'Kiria's lap.' The bliss took over and everything went black.
Meanwhile, Kiria continued running her fingers through Kurai's silky blond hair. She watched as he started to slightly snore. She couldn't help but blush at his sight.
She thought to herself. 'He's so cute when he's asleep.'
As far as he could see, there was light, nothing but miles and miles of light.
Kurai floated along the blinding white light, drifting like an astronaut in the void of space. 'Where am I?'
There was no where to stand, no where to sit. It was nothing but a bright light void of any life.
Except one.
Kurai shuffled his feet in an attempt to run. But there was no where to run.
Although he couldn't run, moving his feet around did help him move a little bit farther.
A woman's voice boomed across the oblivion. "No matter where you go. I will hunt you like the rat you are."
By instinct, Kurai reached for his back, only to realize, he did not have his sword on him.
'Who's there.' His voice echoed.
"Divine's Grace will be upon us soon, and the world will be as pure as God intended."
Nothing but light, a bright blinding light, that got brighter by every passing second.
The voice began to sing. It was soothing, but unsettling, like a madman's lullaby.
"Unclean, Impure, Unclean, Impure."
Kurai covered his ears and shut his eyes hoping to drown her out. But the voice rang in his head and wouldn't leave. A weird feeling rose in his chest, and he felt energy surge through his body. His eyes suddenly shot open, revealing his red eyes.
Everything went pitch black.
Back in the real world, Kurai's eyes shot open, and felt the warmth of Kiria's lap. Which was good considering it was cold, it was really cold. He then realized, it was literally cold.
Kiria smiled down at him. "For someone who complained so much, that was a short nap."
Kurai felt his head throb and rubbed his temple. "What time is it?"
Kiria looked outside the window. "You were out for twenty minutes."
Kurai sat up and looked out the window. It was still slightly dark outside, but he could still see white snow drifting down.
At Yokai Academy, the barrier that seals it away usually keeps it at a decent climate. Warm, and a few storms every once in a while. If you wanted to see real snow, you either had to go to the human world during winter, or Mizore's hometown.
Kiria started to shiver and latched onto Kurai for warmth.
Kurai reached for his bag. "Here, I got a spare jacket." He took out a tattered green jacket, and handed it to her.
"Wouldn't it be more romantic if you gave me your jacket?" She sighed.
He started to take off his own in response. "Unless you want demon sweat, be my guest."
She stopped him and placed it back on. "It's fine, I love it." She put it on and kissed him on the cheek.
The bus driver huffed on his cigar and stared at the couple. "A Demon and an Angel. Never thought I'd lived to see the day." He said to himself.
He called out to the two. "We'll be departing in five minutes. You better have your stuff ready."
"This can't be where you live." Kurai's mouth hung open. Any longer and his jaw would've hit the floor.
"Where did you think I lived?"
"A house, an apartment, maybe a condo." Kurai took a good look and saw what looked like a 17th century Renaissance manor located in the mountainside.
As they walked through the gate. They passed by a water fountain decorated with two winged cherubs spouting water from their mouths. Kurai stared at Kiria and back at the mansion. "What do your parents do for a living?"
"My dad works the Konime electronics company." Kurai abruptly stopped.
"Wait a minute, Ichiya Konime? He's your father?"
Kiria nodded as if it was obvious. "You heard of him?"
"He is one of the most successful businessman who ever lived. He's the chairmen of one of the most successful electronics company in all of Japan."
Kiria nodded. "Yeah, he can set his own schedules, and make time for his kids."
Kurai looked flabbergasted. "We've been dating for three weeks, and you never told me?"
Kiria grabbed his hand and dragged him to the door. "I wanted it to be a surprise. And you should've asked."
Kurai's P.O.V
I most likely would've been lost if Kiria wasn't like my tour guide.
The interior was just as impressive. According to Kiria, there was at least sixty eight rooms. Including bedrooms, bathrooms, a huge kitchen, and a huge library with over twenty-thousand books. The building consisted of a substantial amount of stories, in which each story upholded numerous rooms. The various rooms were furnished with elegant, luxurious furniture.
When we passed by one of the doors. I could hear what sounded like someone getting hit. I could also hear a faint voice.
"Have at thee!"
"No mercy, no surrender."
As Kiria continued walking, I walked to the door and opened it. The inside looked like a tiny training room. The walls were decorated with antique weapons that I've only seen in history books. Halberds, broadswords, kukris, twin swords, a katana, even a double sided battle axe. In the corner of the room there was a suit of armor, and on one side of the room there was a gun shelf hung with several hunting rifles.
What mainly got my attention was the boy swinging a sword.
He had long shaggy silver hair and silver eyes to match. He wore a white swallowtail coat unfastened, exposing a dark, lace-embellished, button-down shirt with a thin, long bow tie around his neck, a pair of white pants that matched with the outfit tucked into knee high boots, making him look something like a butler. His sword was different compared to the Lævateinn. It was a gold caged double edge Rapier, the sword's hilt was fashioned with gold, and he wore white gloves to provide grip.
He thrusted his sword into a practice dummy, which was marked with black marker showing the vital organs. He took his sword and slashed the abdomen completely slicing it in half.
"That should do for today." He took out a rag and patted his forehead.
Kiria walked in. "You have to stop swinging with your elbows. If you're handling a rapier, it's all in the wrist."
The boy tuned to her and grinned. They both shared a hug and Kiria turned back to me. The sword boy followed her gaze and made direct eye contact with me.
"Kurai, this is my little brother Nagi Konime." She then gestured to me.
"Nagi, this is Kurai."
Nagi walked up to me and looked around as if he was examining me. "So you're the Kurai fellow Kiria's been writing to me about?"
After his thorough search, he drew his sword and pointed the tip right at my nose. I didn't even think of flinching.
He looked at me with questionable eyes. He fastened the sword on the right side of his belt and held out his hand.
"Sir Nagi Konime the first at your service. It is an honor to meet the boy my sister has taken a fancy to."
I didn't know if this guy was joking or for real. Still I was a guest, so I shook his hand out of respect.
Nagi's eyes widened as he stared down at our handshake. He grabbed my hands and examined the palms of them thoroughly.
"Those calluses, they're like nothing I've ever seen before. But there is no mistaking it." He started rubbing my hand. "Rough and rugged."
Out of instinct and the fact this was getting weird. My fist collided with his cheek and sent him stumbling back.
Kiria covered his mouth in shock "Why did you do that?"
"It's not my fault he has some kind of weird hand fetish."
Nagi got back up. "So much power in that punch. I think he's the one." Apparently I didn't hit him hard enough.
I turned to him and saw he was back on his feet standing face to face. "Those calluses can only come from someone who knows how to wield one of the most honorable weapons. Are you a swordsman?"
I simply nodded and turned to Kiria hoping for an explanation.
"Nagi is a champion swordsman, he has won three championships since he was eleven. He's also an elite fighter, and master of hand to hand combat."
Nagi got on one knee and held my hand again. "All my life, all I wanted was a person worthy to be my rival. Someone whose strength and expertise knows no limit. Not even the best trainers money could buy could call themselves a worthy opponent." He gripped my hand tighter and looked up at me. "Will you make me a happy man, and become my rival?"
If he had said husband, the only man I'd make him was a dead man.
Several thoughts raced through my mind. The main one being: "Kick this creep in the face!"
"I'll become your rival if you quit touching me." I offered.
I don't know if he took the hint, either way, he let go and drew his sword. "Then have your sword and we shall fight come next fortnight." He declared.
With that Kiria and I took our leave and left him to his training.
I simply pointed my finger at her. "We will never speak of what just happened to anyone. We take that to our graves and never bring it up."
After a little more walking, I could feel vibrating coming from a particular door. Yet there was no sound.
My curiosity got the best of me and I slowly turned the doorknob. Kiria turned and realized I was about to open a door.
Kiria turned quickly and warned. "Don't open that door!"
By then it was too late. As soon as that door opened, I was blasted and crashed against the wall leaving a human shaped indent. My eardrums started to bleed at what sounded like a continuous canon blast.
"So loud." I doubted my voice could be heard.
Kiria placed her fingers in her ears and walked into the room. A minute later, the entire hallway went quiet and she stepped out with two boy's ears clutched in her fingers.
"You guys really should put up a warning sign." She scolded to them.
These two were identical twins who looked around in their early twenties. They both had long straight white hair, a muscular build, and brown eyes. They both wore iconic black and white t-shirts with flaming skulls on them, and faded jeans.
The only difference was that the twin on the left had an electric guitar strapped to his chest, while the other one had a bass instead.
The two even talked in sync. "We're sorry Kiria."
Kiria turned to me. "These are my twin brothers." She tugged on the bass boy's ear. "This is Roru." And she pulled on the one with the guitar. "And this is Ganseki. They are actually my adopted brothers."
I bowed to them in respect. "My name is Kurai Kage."
Ganseki folded his ring and middle fingers to make a rocker finger. "Nice to meet you Kurai Kage, boyfriend of Kiria." He stuck his tongue out on the side.
Roru nodded his head in disapproval. "I swear the intelligence bar for you drops lower with every passing day." He turned to Kurai and shook his hand. "It's nice to meet the guy who's dating my sister." He looked at me with stern eyes. "Take good care of her, okay?"
'Holy crap, he's normal.'
They gestured me inside of their room. I'm pretty sure 'studio' would've been the better word for it. Every square inch of wall was lined up with speakers and amps of all sizes. Except for one wall where they kept different types of guitars and basses. There was a single bunk bed. The bottom looked clean and made, while the top looked like someone dumped in entire junkyard on it.
"These two are musical prodigys. Ganseki prefers the guitar while Roru plays bass."
I dug in my ears to soothe the ringing. "So, they're like a band or something?"
Kiria nodded. "No, they just like to listen, play, and watch different types of music. They play their music so loud, daddy had soundproof walls installed."
Ganseki grinned and held up the rocker fingers. "My brother and I could have a shootout, and no one would hear a thing."
"That's why we keep firearms far away from him." Roru retorted.
"Well it was nice to meet you two." Kiria and I both left to continue the tour.
"How many siblings do you have?" Kurai asked
"Including those three, I have six siblings. Four brothers, and two sisters."
"Is this the new boyfriend you've been writing me about Kiria?" Kurai turned to the source of the voice and saw a woman walking towards them.
She was a slender, well-endowed young woman with short, light-colored hair, brown eyes, and fringes framing her face. She wore a blue rose ornament on the left side of her head. She donned a cloak clasped together by a star-shaped clip, with feathery protrusions that covered her chest, shoulders, mid-back, over her blouse and shorts. The cloak flared at her feet, where it is divided into flowing sections secured by ribbons. She wore a black pair of socks that stopped at her mid-thighs.
Kiria walked up to her and hugged her. "Kurai, this is my sister Koyomi Konime."
Koyomi approached Kurai until she was extremely close to his face. "So this is the boyfriend you've been telling me about?"
She started to run her fingers through his hair. Kurai felt extremely uncomfortable and started to blush. While Kiria watched as if it was normal.
"Kurai Kage, I like your blond hair. Silky and smooth." She stepped an inch closer until her chest pressed against Kurai. The latter's entire face turned red. Kurai turned to Kiria and she nodded. She moved her lips, and they read don't move.
"You have somewhat of a skinny build, not a lot of muscle, but decent. Your eyes are as blue as the cerulean sea." Koyomi examined
She placed her hand on his cheek and rubbed on it. "And you have delicate supple skin." She whispered in his ear. Kurai was on the verge of a nosebleed.
She backed away from him and bowed. She turned to Kiria. "He seems like a good choice." With that she left. "Have a good time you two." She waved off at them.
She turned a corner and disappeared from view.
"Is every one of your siblings except Roru a weirdo?"
"They're not bad once you get used to them." Kiria defended. She grabbed his arm and dragged him through the halls. "There's one more sibling I want you to meet."
They both turned a corner and Kurai's blood turned cold. He rubbed his hands for warmth.
"Did the temperature just drop?" Kurai shivered.
Kiria stopped in front of another door. "This is it."
They both stepped in and the temperature turned even colder. Kurai suddenly slipped and fell on what felt like cold ice."
"You really should watch your step." A boy said from inside the room.
Kurai turned and saw a boy with white spiky hair and blue eyes. He sported a white jacket reaching down below his waist, distinguished by large, dark fur trimmings around the neck and cuffs, together with similarly dark belts circling each of his arms, one above his elbow, and another above his furry cuff. Under it was a white dress shirt, and a pair of black dress pants to match.
Kiria helped Kurai up on his feet, and he got a better view of the room. The entire place consisted of elegant furniture made of ice.
Kurai sat down on an ice futon and Kiria walked to the white haired boy. "Kurai, this is Shimo Konime. He's a Yuki-Otoko, just like Mizore."
Kurai's teeth clattered. "You're a snow-man? Explains why it looks like a winter wonderland in here."
Shimo chuckled. "That's funny." He turned to Kiria. "So this is your new boyfriend?"
Kiria nodded and blushed slightly. Shimo approached Kurai and eyed him up and down.
Knowing Kiria's other siblings, Kurai was ready for the worst.
Shimo then backed up and turned to Kiria. "Checks out good to me." He bowed to Kurai. "Welcome to our home."
Two normals, and three weirdos. Two out of five will work." Kurai thought in his head.
As they walked through the hallway, Kurai suddenly thought of something that got him wondering.
"Hey didn't you say you had six siblings?"
Kiria turned to him and nodded. "Yeah I do. Why?"
Kurai showed his whole hand. "Well every sibling I met adds up to five." He pointed one finger from his other hand. "You're the sixth." He brought out one more finger. "So whose the seventh Konime sibling?"
Kiria thought for a second and then spoke as if she was giving a lesson. "As you already know, there are seven Konime siblings. Ganseki and Roru are the second and third oldest and were adopted. Koyomi is my stepsister and is the fourth oldest, I'm the fifth oldest, Shimo was adopted and is the sixth oldest and Nagi's my bloodbrother and he's the youngest. So that just leaves Lunar."
"Lunar?"
Kiria looked down and smiled. "Yeah, she was the first one our dad adopted after he got remarried, and she's the oldest. She's always out traveling, so we rarely ever see her. Even when she does come home, it's usually for a good few hours."
"Where does she travel to?"
"Around the world. She occasionally sends us a postcard and is always bringing souvenirs. We occasionally try to video chat her, but she's always busy."
Kurai sweatdropped. He didn't mean to hurt her in anyway. "I'm really sorry to hear that." He then realized something. "Hold on, your dad got remarried?"
Kiria simply nodded and hung her head trying to keep up a smile. "I'm really sorry, I just don't want to talk about it."
Kurai realized his mistake and hugged her. "Don't be, I'm the idiot who asked to begin with."
Kurai thought it'd be best to change the subject. "So when do I get to meet your parents?"
Kiria looked at the nearby grandfather clock and saw that it read 8:58.
"In the next two minutes. It's almost breakfast time." She answered.
At the word breakfast, Kurai could hear his stomach howling.
"Good, cause I'm pretty hungry." He grinned.
After about seven minutes of walking, they finally made it to the dining room. It was quite classy befitting rich people. There was a long mahogany table draped in white tablecloth. The chairs were made from fine oak, and a crystal chandelier hung above them.
Everyone of the Konime siblings except Lunar (For obvious reasons) were all seated. At the head of the table was Ichiya Konime in the flesh.
For a buisnessman, he had shaggy white hair just like everyone else, and had blue eyes just like Kiria. He wore a simple black buisness suit with a red tie, and a pair of spectacles.
Sitting next to him was obviously his wife, judging by the wedding ring on her finger. She pretty much looked like the future version of Koyomi.
She was well endowed with pale skin, brown eyes, a perfect hourglass figure, and long silvery hair with two bangs that reached down to her chest, and a blue hair ribbon. She wore a blue dress with a skirt made entirely of white feathers reaching down to the backs of her lower legs, however, it was more open in the front, exposing her legs up to her feathers on the skirt tapered off near her waist, and continued in a single, narrow band up the middle of her torso and then split near the tops of her breasts; jutting out to either side. Her shoulders were left uncovered.
According to Kiria, her father never liked the thought of slave labor or hiring servants. That's why he enchanted everything to work on it's own. Kurai's chair even pulled itself up for him to sit.
Ichiya turned his head towards and stood. The entire room went silent.
"It seems we have a guest here today. Kurai Kage, Kiria's new boyfriend to be exact."
"And my new rival." Nagi announced. It was nice and unsettling to know he was still at that.
Everyone applaused and Kurai hid his eyes from embarassment. The entire room went silent again.
"So I think he should be the one who chooses today's breakfast." With that Ichiya sat back down.
Kurai was dumbstruck. "Okay, um..." Kurai was having a hard time thinking of something. And everyone staring at him wasn't helping.
"Alright I got it. White rice, fried eggs, miso soup, a curried chicken omelet, and pickles."
All of a sudden various plates filled with those exact food items literally flew across the room and landed in front of everyone until they all had their own food. For rich people, I guess they weren't to fond of ettiquettes, seeing as they started to scarf down the food.
Ichiya took a bite of the omelet and turned to me. "So Kurai, I see you met the family?"
Kurai nooded and looked to his wife. "I'm afraid I did not catch your name."
She simply smiled. "My names Jundo darling."
Kurai stood and bowed. "Thank you for letting me stay here for Christmas."
Koyomi turned. "What about your family? Aren't you going to stay with them?"
Kurai's heart sank, and a lump formed in his throat. Kiria turned towards him with a worried look.
Kurai thought of something off the fly. "I'm not going to see my parents, they're always traveling, and I rarely see them." Kurai went back to his soup.
"Don't you ever see them?" Roru asked.
Kurai slightly chuckled. "Maybe once or twice a year. But I never really spent Christmas with them."
Ganseki stuffed an omelet in his mouth. "It's the same with our sister Lunar. We don't get to see her much."
"Kiria already told me. If anything you guys are lucky." Kurai pointed out.
"What makes you say that?" Nagi asked.
"Even if your sisters not here, you guys still have each other." Kurai responded.
Jundo clapped her hands and got everyones attention. "Lets not talk about this. It's killing the mood." She took a sip of water. "What I want to know is what knid of monster you are?" She turned to Kurai.
Kurai turned to Kiria and back to her. "Kiria never told you?"
Tamiki took a bite of rice. "No she didn't, she wanted to wait for us to meet face to face."
Kurai turned back to Kiria and gave her the 'We'll talk about this later' look.
"I am a spellcaster." Kurai lied.
"Really, like a wizard?" Ichiya asked.
"Yeah, but spellcaster sounds cooler." Kurai chuckled.
Nagi looked like he was about to have a heart attack. "But you can still fight, right?"
"Nagi please." Ichiya scolded. "So what kind of magic do you do?"
"I'm somewhat of a fire wizard. I have a witch friend Ruby whose teaching me shapeshifting."
Shimo glared at me and scowled.
"You mind showing us?" Koyomi asked.
Kurai raised his hand. "No no no. I'm not all that good."
"Oh come on." Ichiya asked
"Show us." Jundo pleaded.
"Please show us." Koyomi begged.
Kurai finally gave in. "Alright alright."
Kurai got up and took a few steps back. He took a deep breath and felt his form begin to shift until he was now in his snake form. Snake Kurai slithered under the table and slithered up Kiria's leg, and wrapped around her neck like a living scarf. He flicked his tounge and pressed it against her cheek.
"That was entertaining." Jundo finished the last of her breakfast. "Now kiss him and see if he turns into a prince."
Kiria turned towards the serpent and kissed him without a moments hesitation. She felt the kiss turn from scaly to soft as he switched back to human form.
Ichiya wiped his mouth and stood. "Now that was funny." He walked over and shook Kurai's hand. "Welcome to the Konime family."
Twelve hours had passed and Kurai found it enjoyable to say the least. Aside from Nagi's constant badgering to fight, it was fun getting to know them. They didn't seem too uncomfortable when the couple kissed or were close to each other. Mrs. Konime found it to be cute and encouraged them. It was getting late so everyone decided to go to bed.
After a few minutes of walking Kurai found himself in Kiria's room. It was about the size of his dorm, only it could fit a king sized bed. There was a desk where she kept a laptop, a plasma screen TV, a walk in closet, and her own private bathroom.
Kurai dropped his bag and flopped onto the bed. He kicked off his loafers, took off the blazer he was wearing from dinner, and untucked his shirt from his pants.
Kiria crawled on top of him and laid her head on his chest. "I really think you got them to like you."
Kurai draped his arms over her back and held onto her shoulder. "I'm really glad I got to know them."
Kiria crawled a little bit more up until she was face to face with him and she could see into his blue eyes. Something suddenly came over Kiria and she pressed her lips hard on his. Kurai felt an extreme force from her kiss, but gave in and kissed back, it became a lot more natural and passionate.
She let out a small moan when she felt his tongue push into her mouth. For some reason she liked it when he was being so forceful. She wanted to taste him and began to use her tongue as well and wrapped it around his. Both tongues fought each other for sheer dominance.
After what seemed like forever, the two broke away, gasping for air. After gazing into each other's eyes, it wasn't long until they started again, neither able to resist the other's sweet taste. They would keep kissing, breaking for air, and then resumed kissing. Kurai's arms wrapped around her waist, while Kiria removed his tie and ran her fingers through his hair. After a while the two stopped and simply looked each other in the eye.
"I love you." Kurai whispered in her ear.
Those three words hit Kiria like a bolt of electricity and she felt her heart skip a beat. She couldn't help but tear up at this. She knew he rarely showed any emotion at all. And something in her mind was telling her not to take this too fast. But she cared about him too much to listen.
Kiria kissed him and hugged him tight. "I love you too."
Kiria laid on her back and Kurai kneeled on top of her. He leaned down and kissed her on the neck and started tugging on the skin. Kiria shuddered and winced from pure pleasure. He then ran his tongue across her neck up to her cheek, unintentionally increasing the pleasure.
Kurai removed his tongue from her and looked up at her. He saw she was sweaty and was panting rapidly. He couldn't help but believe how innocent she looked. He couldn't deny that this made her look incredibly beautiful. He was afraid he was taking advantage of her.
This reduced Kurai to stuttering "Do you...want to go any further?"
Before she could answer. The sound of the door knocking echoed the room.
Kurai quickly got off of her. "Shit"
Kiria quickly stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She tossed Kurai the TV remote and he quickly turned it on. She grabbed the nearby hairbrush and walked to the door as she straightened out her hair. She opened it to reveal her father standing in front of it in his suit and tie.
"I hope I wasn't interrupting anything." Exactly how much did this guy hear.
"Nothing really." Kurai said as he watched a soccer match.
"Is there something you need daddy?" Kiria asked innocent like.
Ichiya adjusted his glasses and turned towards Kurai. "I was hoping I could borrow Kurai for a while, I want to talk to him."
'Damn it! He knows I just tried to have sex with his daughter.'
Kurai reluctantly stood up and approached Ichiya, who gestured him to follow. Kurai turned towards Kiria who clutched her heart mouthing 'I love you'
Kurai saw Ichiya leaving and gave Kiria a quick and most likely final kiss. He ran and disappeared at the hallway corner.
Kurai's P.O.V
Ichiya led me through the hallway in complete silence. Various thoughts raced through my head, and they had one thing in common.
'I'm dead'
'I'm a dead demon'
'Dead man walking'
'I'm going to die'
Ichiya broke the silence "So how far did you go with my daughter while you were at Yokai academy?"
Talk about an awkward question about your own daughter. "Well umm...I guess we..." Wow that's hard to think about. "We pretty much just kiss and hold hands."
"So you two haven't been under the sheets at all?" Ichiya asked with his back turned.
My nose started to bleed at the question.
"No, I haven't tainted her innocence yet." I responded.
"Yet? So you plan on having sex with her?"
'Checkmate. Wait, how can you talk about sex like it's nothing? And that's your daughter.' I thought to myself.
After a while of silent walking. Ichiya took me into the dining hall, and approached a nearby thermostat. He pulled on the thermostat, and saw what looked like a code box. He pressed a few buttons and clicked on the enter key. He pushed the thermostat back completely hiding it from view.
All of a sudden, the entire dining room table disappeared and opened to reveal a spiral staircase leading under the floors.
My jaw hit the ground. "You have an underground secret passage? Just how rich are you?"
Ichiya started down the stairs. "I make 392,680,000 yen a month.
(A.N. That's worth a good 4 mill in US dollars)
As the both of us walked down, I kept picturing the worst case scenario.
At the end of a dark hallway. There was a single door leading to who knows where.
Ichiya approached the door and took a key out of his pocket.
"Kurai, I'm about to show you something that is sacred to me, Shimo, Ganseki, and Roru. None of the girls know about it, not even my wife. Will you swear on your life to keep it a secret?"
"I swear." Kurai reluctantly answered.
Ichiya opened the door and revealed the textbook definition of a man cave.
There were at least seven plasma screen TVs with different spots on each one, there was a foosball and pool table on one corner, a vending machine, a popcorn maker, several recliners, and a refrigerator filled with all types of snacks.
Ichiya took his jacket and tossed it aside on the floor. "Oh thank god."
He turned towards me and flopped on the nearby futon. "You can cut the gentlemen crap. Here, it's all guys."
Kurai flopped on the nearby recliner and elevated his feet. "Seems a little much, just to get away from your wife."
Ichiya popped open a beer. "Not just my wife. But my job, you wouldn't believe how stressful it gets." He reached down into an ice chest and tossed me a beer.
I simply stared at the bottle not knowing what to do. As far as I knew, Ichiya just went from a buisness salve, to complete slob.
"Don't be a pussy, drink it." Ichiya instigated.
I popped the cap and downed half of it. It burned going down, but it tasted really good.
I took another sip. "So why did you bring me down here?"
Ichiya gulped the last of his beer and dug another one. "Because I know you're a Demon. I also know your parents don't travel."
The entire room went silent and I just stared as he gulped a quarter of his beer. "Relax, I don't have a grudge against your kind."
"How did you know?"
"Because I was a friend of your mother and father when you were just a baby." He sipped more alcohol. "And I think you have the right to know I was a member of the Angel's Purifiers."
At those very words, I smashed the glass bottle over the table and held the jagged ends at his throat. My eyes turned demonic red.
Ichiya placed his beer down. "Kurai, Angels aren't as holy as people take us to be. We make mistakes even we regret. We do terrible things."
I pushed the jagged bottle right at his throat. "Taking innocent people from their homes and making their lives miserable? That's not terrible, that's unforgiveable."
Ichiya took my actions rather calmly. "I wasn't actually a member, I was merely something of a spy."
I could tell he was serious and backed away a little bit.
He continued. "For centuries, Demons and Angels have been bitter enemies and have always been. But there were a rare few on both sides that believed in a coexistence between the two. I was one of those rare few. And so was your father and your mother."
My legs felt like jelly and I sat back on the chair while he continued.
"I was thrilled when I found out you were alive and you were dating my daughter. Because I believe your love could show that Angels and Demons can coexist."
I tossed the bottle aside no longer needing it. "What about my parents? What can you tell me about them."
Ichiya downed the last of his beer. "Your father was a good man. Unlike most Demons, he was always there to help someone out no matter what. And your mother." Ichiya bit back bile down his throat. "It's too sad to even talk about. She was so kind and sweet, she loved you so much."
My heart sunk as low as it could be, and I felt tears sting my cheeks.
Ichiya took another sip. "Let me tell you a story."
"Before you were born, I met my first wife who also believed in Angel/Demon coexistence. We fell in love, and had Kiria not too long after you were born. You two actually used to play together as babies. Your mother always joked about you two getting married. I was already a member of the Purifiers by then. One day you became gravely ill by not eating souls, so your father gave you his so that you could survive. After his death, the Purifier's got word about who you were and planned to hunt you and your entire family. So you had to go into hiding. I lost contact with you for so long. A few years later I got word about Miley's death and the church house collapse. For twelve years, I thought you were dead. When my father retired and left me this company, I left the Purifier's and wanted nothing to do with them for Kiria's safety. After my wife's death, I got remarried and adopted my children, I wanted them to live good lives. I prayed that it would rid me of the guilt that haunted me all these years."
I remembered Kiria being upset about her dad being remarried. "What happened to your first wife?"
Ichiya downed the last of his beer and grabbed another one. How did he not get drunk? I'll never know. "Her name was Ren, she was like an older version of Kiria, kind and sweet, with a rebellious spark to her. She was in a car crash when Kiria was only three. It happened so fast, and she was instantly dead. She was gone, just like that. "
I knew how he felt. "Hurts losing a loved one."
Ichiya sipped more beer. "I met Jundo and her daughter Koyomi a year later at a buisness party, just like that we got married and had Nagi."
I stood up and chuckled. "Take it from me, cherish your family. And for your daughter Lunar, pray for her safety."
Ichiya nodded and turned to me. "I know you want revenge for Miley's death, and I'm going to help you out. I'll be something as a benefactor. I'll pay for all your expenses and any damages we all know you're going to do."
"Are you serious?" I pointed out in disbelief.
"Your first destination is Scotland. I got a colleague of mine who lives there. After you destroyed the Purifier's first base, they established another one over there. He's another spy who gathers very impotant information. He'll be a valuable asset. He hangs out at a pub called the Drunken Clover. He'll tell you everything you need to know."
Ichiya stood up and handed me two tickets. "These are first class tickets. There's a plane leaving for Ireland in two days, make sure you don't miss it."
"I have a question. Is it okay if I bring some friends? Maybe eight?"
"I have no problem with that." Ichiya responded. He walked up to the wall, and flipped a switch opening the door back to the dining room.
As I walked out, Ichiya stopped me and threw a small square wrapper, and a pack of gum. "And by the way. I don't mind if you have sex with my daughter." He gestured to the wrapper. "Just don't be stupid. And don't have your breath taste like alcohol."
"Thank you so much."
Kurai walked back to Kiria's room and was met with a tackling hug. Kiria wrapped around him tightly and kissed him. "I'm so glad you're okay." She looked up at him and kissed his cheek. "What did daddy want?"
"We just talked, had a drink. Hey can you multi video chat someone from your computer?"
Kiria nodded and turned on her computer. After a few minutes of typing, the faces of Tsukune, Moka and Kokoa, Gin, Kurumu, Ruby, Yukari, and Mizore appeared on the screen as they talked in separate boxes.
"What's up guys?" I called out to them.
"Hey Kurai." Tsukune waved
"Hey." Moka called out.
"How's it going?" Gin asked
"Hey." Kurumu beamed
Mizore waved to the camera
"Hi." Yukari yelled
"How are you?" Ruby smiled
"I'm doing fine." Kurai said to all of them. "Turns out Kiria and her family is loaded."
"What's Kiria's family like?" Tsukune asked.
"Some of them are more annoying than Kokoa, and that's saying something." Kurai joked
Kokoa's face appeared on the screen and started barking at the camera. "You want to say that to my face?! Come on! Come on!"
Moka pushed Kokoa out of the way. "Calm down now." She now faced the camera.
Kurai got right to the point. "So you got any plans this break?"
Gin started. "I..."
"That's good." Kurai interrupted as he waved ten yellow tickets at the camera and grinned. "Because in two days, Kiria and I are going to Scotland on first class, and you're all coming with us.
Took me three days to work on this.
Thank you for the reviews and PM's, it means so much.
