Chapter Two
Darkness, the sound of dripping water or some fluid and soft talking was what accompanied Yori's awakening much time later.
Wherever she was, it smelled like a cellar of some sort or maybe an old aqueduct? She was still huddled into the mantle of the strange Vampire with the short temper. It was surprisingly warm and smelled disgustingly of blood. Crinkling her delicate nose, she tried to open her eyes and failed. Yore deducted that she was too injured to do so and thus that, she had a killer headache to boot.
Seeing that she was slightly waking, Rido simply settled her deeper in his arms and used his power to force her to sleep again.
He had put quite a number of injuries on her in his fits. She needed more rest to recover from them, even with the few drops of blood that he had given her to boost her ability to heal. True top her shown nature before, Yori had defied him until he had forcefully opened her mouth and had persuaded her to swallow with his natural given powers.
Stubborn girl!
Even unconscious as she had been she had managed to annoy him and put up a fight.
Precious little gem!
No one else would have dared to do so in the past or the present. She didn't whimper, she didn't flinch… no, she dared to swat at him instead. Unheard of, outstanding even! Rido couldn't help it; he was simply delighted to no end with her antics.
He couldn't remember a time when someone else had dared to defy him like Yori did it all the time.
He had his servants get Intel on her as soon as he had reached his hiding place and found out that she was born into a high class for humans. Her father was a consul if wasn't mistaken and her mother a singer. Not pop or rock, Opera and such and a good one at that. Her parents were famous and very rich. A good stock, if you considered humans as something worthwhile.
What Rido didn't do. Well, mostly he did not… she was a rare exception.
Yori or better Wakaba Sayori was a genius and a beloved single child without the usual spoiled behavior that such single children often showed.
She was also known for being a dutifully daughter and had a fiancée already, here Rido snorted. Political move, he was sure. He had the inkling that she didn't have a say in this and sent a vampire to kill the man. The little gem in his hold deserved someone better as an associate of her parents to stabilize their standing in the upper class world.
He had always disliked such endeavors. You just had to look at Shizuka and him to see how such unions usually turned out.
He snorted again and dismissed the curios Shiki elder.
Then he dissolved again to change location. Rido knew that Kaname Kun was searching for him and he was highly entertained to note that the Kuran was a bit miffed at his refusal to let his pets kill him at the academy. Of course, that Rido had taken the human with him was another notch on Kaname Kun's anger at him. Here he laughed maliciously. Let him be angry!
He had the girl and Kaname could go and bark at a tree for all Rido cared right now.
He had another barmy fit of laughter at that thought.
Hilarious, the pictured vision of his adversary doing that had him down in tears in under a minute.
Sobering up he looked down at the girl again. Somehow… somehow he had gotten himself attached to the little human. She was the reason for more amusement as he had felt in ages. He selfishly wanted to keep her because of that. It, in a crazy way, put a damper on his insanity and made his presence worthwhile for once.
The face of his son shortly flashed through Rido's lunatic mind before he shook his head wildly like a dog to shake Senri literally out of it again.
No, he did not want to think about his son now, thank you very, very much! The brat could stew for a while. So what? Senri had her as eye candy all the time in the past, now he should hush and leave some to his daddy for a change. Rido crackled up.
Madness.
It had been his only true companion for as long as he could remember that it had become a dear friend. That and his constant hunger for more. More blood, more power, more tears, more… everything. His greedy nature had no bounds and was endless as the sea. Rido knew his dirty little mind very well.
Haruka had what he had desired the most, Juuri. Their sister.
In Rido's wacky way to gain more power to beat him, to get her, he had taken the life of their firstborn and had awakened their ancestor with it. Only to have the tables turned on him from said partial Mummy in the end.
Curse Kuran Kaname!
Therefore, in the end, no Juuri for him, no power over the ancestor and to top it, he was later being beaten into a bloody pulp from said Kaname when he tried it again. Rido had needed ten fucking years to get his body back into one piece. What? It hurts to be beaten senseless.
He wanted to crush Kaname, and all he held dear!
In the end, he had not reached his last goal either, thanks to a certain little distraction that came his way.
Bad little girly!
No, make those two bad little pests.
That little friend of his son, of his beautiful little Senri, that Rima girl was the second one…GAH!
His head was a blur when he shook it this time. Somehow, his son had found a way back into his mind again for no reason. Little jealous egoist, how dare his son do that? Panting he got aware that someone looked at him and said look felt like a silent reproach in a strange way.
He arched a sculpted brow.
Looking down he saw into the eyes of the little female nuisance called Yori. Who eyed him calmly with the look one would give a stubborn child when catching it doing something harebrained. How she managed, that was beyond Rido but oddly enough, it worked on him. His ears turned pink and he hated it! He may be utterly a nutcase; even he knew that much thank you, but that didn't mean that he should feel this way.
He refused to do so… he really did!
Why did she then make him feel like this anyways?
Glaring at the girl, he put her back to sleep again.
At least she couldn't look at him this way when she was out like a light.
Naturally, Rido was aware of it that he acted pretty much ridiculous, he just chose not to acknowledge this that was all. Yori wasn't sullen, like that little Rima girl. She was simply calm, collected and utterly unruffled as it looked. On the rebound, she too was curios without to be prying. Observant without to be obvious and if what he was told was true, unusually accepting and caring to a fault.
Good manners and an extraordinary education rounded it up.
Yori wasn't the most gorgeous girl that he had ever come across, like Senri's mother had been it at that date and neither was she curvaceous as Shizuka had it been in a certain way. She wasn't as airheaded and dreamy nor as mad and dangerously powerful as his former two women had been it. Yori, she was simply being herself without any further ado or need to be more as she was.
Silence was her greatest gift, his insane mind realized stunned.
And seemingly, for her, it was enough.
Well at least enough to capture the interest of his son and now, him. This time he growled childishly at the image of his son in his head before he dismissed it out of his mind again.
But if he was honest…
He knew another soul who was like this girl in a way. The difference to Yori was that the boy had chosen to hide it. He was a soul who hid itself behind indifference instead to simply life its nature out. Someone who hid behind the focus of a camera in the outward world as an alternative to spread his wings. A certain person that needed a whack on his head and it pointed out verbally that he should take more care of himself and to love himself more before he had found the will opposed his father openly.
Senri.
Oh heavens! There was his son again… Rido rubbed his face tiredly, was that why he was attached to the silent girl?
Rido mused that this could be.
The two had much in common, and he was angry with his cute son. After all, it was highly unlikely that he would ever have a Pure Blood child in the future. Senri was his only child and most likely, he would be the only one forever. Even if Rido managed it to knock his mother up a second time, he doubted it that Kaname would let a second child be fathered from him.
As mad as he was, Rido liked the thought of children, since Juuri had presented her first child to him. Where his want to have offspring came from was no miracle to Rido. Only, that he had wanted her to be the mother of it and at the same time, he had been cross to share her with someone else. So deep was his obsession that he had even killed her firstborn child born to Haruka.
Sitting comfortably on the rooftop of Senri's mother's house under the confused and slightly fearful and longing gaze of the woman inside, he snorted.
The Vampiress was so easy and yet, he couldn't muster up enough courage or will to hate her enough to end her. After all, insane he may be, but she had born him a son. Rido respected that. Looking down at the sleeping girl in his lap, he mustered Yori again. Silently comparing her to the female inside the house, he came to the not surprising conclusion that she won ten times over the Vampire female without to have to work for it.
Shortly he wondered how a baby of her and him would look like… Rido had to smirk at that idea. He even barked a laugh.
Cute was all that flashed through his mind but not a good objective for his son, he settled his hungry gaze onto the Vampiress instead.
Without to leave her the time to even screams, Rido dissolved again to appear inside of her house with ease. There he put Yori into the bedroom of his son before he almost lovingly tucked the girl in. Then he turned slowly like the predator that he truly was to the shaking woman and licked his lips at the fearful Vampiress. Dropping the fangs had her widen the eyes even more and for a second Rido considered to beat her up first… only to dismiss the thought right again.
A cry was short-lived when he pounced her and did throw her into the master bedroom behind her with a frightening ease.
The door was thrown shut from an unknown force behind them.
Maybe, Rido mused maybe Kaname would try to prevent her from giving birth to a second child. So what? If he did, Rido would rub it into the noses of the councils both, hunter and vampire and then he would go and tell it to the little Yuuki too. He knew the first ancestor of his line good enough. Kuran Kaname would not want his precious 'sister' want to know that he planned to murder a harmless child ever. Besides that, the council had always wanted little Nobles for their lines.
As much as they disliked, even hated Rido, they would never pass up on the opportunity of getting their dirty hands onto a second child with his famous Kuran genetics.
Senri was already sought after and if he did this right, the next one would be too.
Kuran Kaname couldn't stop him from building the foundation of a new Noble line, now could he? Aww, what a face he would make when confronted with that… Rido chuckled darkly. He wished he could spy on the cursed vampire when he was told.
Giving Hitomi a malicious grin, he attacked suddenly.
