Chapter four
The Vampire Pure Blood walked into the kitchen behind the duo at the sink.
Yawning hugely he scratched his head before he helped himself to the last portion of the food and set down on a chair to gobble it messily down pretty fast under the unbelievingly stares of both, Yori and Hitomi. When he asked to make him more whilst holding the plate up to them like a child. Yori told him cut short that that was impossible to do and if he threw a fit. Since Hitomi's family had not given her a housekeeper that took his or her job seriously and that he could go and blame Hitomi's family for his empty plate. Both Vampires gave Yori ogle eyes after her uncharacteristically vehement outburst. Each one out of a different reason.
She got two reactions to her words.
The first came from Rido.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
He put his plate down softly. Rido's voice had taken onto a much too silent and much too friendly sounding quality while he spoke that question quietly. Yori instantly sensed the danger that lurked around the next corner and told him honestly what she found out and thought about it. She even offered to bring back in the worms if he did not believe her and dared Rido to use the toilette downstairs. What Rido waved off with a dark look on his handsome face. Instead he told both to stay where they were and not to move while he went onto a snoop through the house for a while before he came back in his garb to inform the two females that he would sent someone to do the buying of things and that they better had a list ready for the man then. In addition, whilst he was closing the buttons on his dress shirt, Rido let them know that he would also sent someone over to clean the mansion up.
With that, the vampire vanished without another word and a scowl etched into his features.
His bat, still sitting on Yori's shoulder told the young woman all too clearly that she better did not try something stupid while he was out. That Vampire had been steaming mad at her news. So much was sure, his looks and reactions to Yori's report had made even her apprehensive to deal with him. Somehow Yori got the impression that he did not like to have others mess with his 'things'. Or what Rido did consider as his territory either… shuddering she pitied the one who was unfortunate enough to be responsible for this mess and turned to wash his plate too.
The second reaction was equally confusing for the human girl to witness and came from Hitomi.
The female Vampire sunk boneless to the floor once Rido was gone.
With one hand still holding the towel and the other holding onto the sink with white knuckles all the way down.
"Oh gods! I thought we were dead when he spoke in that voice of his!" She told the perplexed at her staring Yori breathlessly. Seeing that look Hitomi brushed a hand through her wild hair in a nervous manner. "Rido Sama uses that voice only when he is really, really livid at someone. Trust me, I have seen it all." She eyed the spot he had stood in before with resignation and trepidation.
"He is again going to kill someone and this time I fear, it will be either, my Uncle, brother or even my grandfather. Not that I feel sorry for each of them. Actually," She gave the girl next to her a fanged and cruel grin that startled Yori slightly with the malice that she could see lurking in the grey eyes of the woman, "actually, I would even go and dance in their ashes if I could! These three have seriously fucked up both, my and my son's live enough as it is!" Hitomi threw the towel at the floor with force when she spoke her last words out. A grimace, made out of pure hate, distorted her beautiful face and she unknowingly gave Yori a perfect glimpse of that little bit of temper that was still alive in Hitomi.
Sayori said nothing to that. Honestly, what could one say to such a statement anyways? Giving the vampire woman a squeeze with one hand on her shoulder, Sayori straightened herself.
In the end, she settled at the table after searching for a pen and some paper in the study next to the living room of the mansion and began to make a list about all the things that normally were needed for a running household of this size. Next to her Hitomi just kept sitting on the titles of the kitchen floor biting at her nails all the time. Deeply locked into her own memories of harm done to her and Senri in the past. Sayori did not dare to rose her from that. somehow she felt that the woman needed this to keep herself as sane as she could. It was a sad sight. Silently the girl wondered no longer why Senri was like he was.
From what Yori could already tell after a few hours spend with these two, he really had not an easy live to deal with.
It was two hours later when a rather petrified looking vampire male rung the bell and asked very politely for the grocery lists.
He was wearing the signs of the main Shiki household and hurried without a second glance to do his given tasks. Mumbling all the time under his breath whilst shuddering wildly from time to time about the creepiness of an enraged Pure Blood and his frightening ways to punish a Noble that had displeased them. The car he used speed away with smoking tires.
Yori arched a brow in unison with Hitomi at that and both chose mutually not to comment on that.
Instead, Hitomi took a long and hot bath, at the urging of Yori and the girl cleaned the second bedroom next to the master bedroom out in the meanwhile. Since she couldn't shop for new cloths for her, Hitomi had told her to use the grocery lists to get some of the needed wear.
She had even helped Yori to make a second one by looking through a magazine after she had gotten up and into a chair finally. Then Hitomi had pointed out the right magazines for Yori in it in under a minute. Sayori's complain of having no money with her was brushed away from the Vampiress. "He will not want to have you run around naked as far as I can tell." She snorted un lady like." Or you would have already been turned or dead, trust me. He should have thought of it beforehand. I know Rido Sama, he would want us to make use of the list. Its just the way he ticks in such things." With that said, the debate was killed in the making already.
Yori chose to accept it and shook it off.
She could always pay Hitomi back later. Her family wasn't penniless. Although Yori didn't normally go and did buy such expensive and stylish garments. She liked her stile feminine and practical. Classical Elegance, had Hitomi called her taste in fashion after looking at Yori's choices. Yori began to like the woman. She also had added a few books that she need to study for the school to the extra sheet only to find out later when giving the lists to the servant, that Hitomi marked each book to be buyer two times. For Senri too, she commented at Yori's curios look. After all, he went to the same academy, right? Yori refrained to mention that he and she were using different classes and began to suspect of what beings the night class really consisted. After a moment she added some spiral folders and a list of adequate pens too to the list. She needed writing material too since her things were not here.
And nowhere in the house she saw a computer on her former snoop through it. What wondered her too, was that she also found no evidence of a phone.
Nevertheless, Yori was mostly worried over the lack of what Hitomi called Blood tablets or real blood in the house and had that added to the lists in the end fast too. It had earned her a curios look from the anxious servant but he had not commented on it.
Neither had Hitomi come to think of it.
The second bedroom was as expensively furnished as Senri's was it. Oak and walnut wood was the main theme of the wood of the dressers and fixtures and albeit the dark equipment was more screaming male to the observer, she was fine with it too. It suited her somewhat more classical sense more than modern stuff would have done.
Another hour later, she opened the door for a tense looking Vampiress in a maidens dress, laden with bags and boxes and her two helpers who wore equally panicky expressions on their features as the Maid and the first servant before. She even got a curtsy from the Maid and a bow from the males before the woman and they went to work in a hurry that had Yori arch yet another brow. A few minutes later Yori had anew to open the door and she and her strange bat watched together in silence the first servant bring in the groceries in a rush to get out of there again.
Whatever Rido had done to the heads of the Shiki clan, he had left an impression on all of them in his wake, all right!
The servants mumbles about the sick way to use meat hooks had her draw up her shoulders and grimace at the mere thought.
Shrugging it off Yori rubbed her suddenly appeared goose-bumps away and went back to redecorate her temporally new home. There was not much else for her to do anyways until Rido made known what he wanted with her. She realized that rather fast. Add to that that Yori really didn't want to know what Rido had done and you got the picture. Nothing much that she could do against him either. Yori hung her head for some minutes before he put away her new wardrobe.
Sunset had Yori sitting into a stuffed chair with Hitomi next to her inside another. She was combing her long red hair out while Yori did read out of volume of a Novel about a love in Samurai times long gone. It was rather trying stuff but both women didn't mind it. It easily took them off their anxious worries rather fast. Next the two woman was a side table with many pictures that had Sayori first look at them. The most were family pictures of Hitomi and Senri. A few showed unknown people and one had her arch a brow. No wonder that she had fist thought that she had seen Shiki's mother before, Hitomi had been an actor.
Yori knew some of her films from her mothers selected collection.
She had been very talented, Yori noted and the pictures was saddening her, because they made clear what had made Hitomi stop to make films in the first place.
It was like this when Rido chose again to make his presence known by simply appearing in the room next to both startled woman with a cussing Senri hooked under his arm. Said Vampire Noble looked rather mad and tried constantly to land a blow on his indifferent looking father who seemed not to notice it even that Senri tried.
"I want my food now!"
He announced to the startled two in the seats instead before he simply let Senri fall down onto the carpet as if the young man was a sack full of potatoes. Rido turned on his heels and walked into the next bathroom already tugging on his ruined clothing to get it off. The smell of blood was overpowering the nose and under it Yori could detect traces of other scent she really did not want to name! he was covered in grime from head to toe not that Rido seem to care. Again the petite woman shook it off.
No need to dwell on the unfortunate victims of this madman, Yori realized that very well.
"Yori, when I am finished with my bath I want my food. I know you got some more fitting attire today, go and use it. Senri, conduct yourself or I beat you into a bloody pulp and I will make you lick it off. And clean up for heavens sake, you look like shit. Hitomi, help me bath and get me some clean gear and then go and dress yourself properly woman. Since when does one run around in underwear?"
For a moment he turned back to them. "The house staff has to be in the main hall when I am finished! And I want to see them in their proper and full attire this time! I will not tolerate this lax in manners anymore, got that?" Without further ado, the Pure Blood vanished inside the bath.
He left two wide-eyed Noble, one rather surprised looking human and three scared shitless servants in his wake.
"Move It, NOW!"
That last wild bark from the bathroom got all of them running.
Even Yori.
Who helped the surprised Senri up while his mother practically run upstairs in a flurry of limps and hair to get the wanted wardrobe for the tyrant in the bathroom and herself. Shaking her head softly, the young woman looked at the door to it before she turned and went into the kitchen to make the wanted food before that madcap turned hostile on them all.
Senri, obviously not knowing if he should do as Rido had told him, followed her there.
He looked rather beaten up and had a bloody lip to show. His hands looked like he had dug his nails repeatedly into the palms and were covered in the thick and now dry fluid. His stylish clothing was rumbled and torn in many places; in short, he looked awfully. She could feel his curios gaze swap over her frame and blushed when she realized that he had to notice that she was still running around in his pullovers and jeans. She saw him arch a brow at the combo she did wear but he made no comment on it.
To cover up her embarrassment, Yori busied herself with taking out a pan and some noodles.
"Go and clean up, Senri san. There is no need in irritating him more. We both know that he will simply take advantage and try to rile you up if not." She told the vampire Noble softly before turning to the stove to turn it on. "I… he had practically shredded my uniform when I woke again. He had placed me into your room as it looks and I went and liberated some of your wear. I apologize, but I needed it" Yori turned to bow to Senri when she was finished speaking. Still, the vampire did not comment. When straightening, Yori noticed that he had an odd look on his face. It made her arch her brows seeing it what had a stunning reaction in the follow. Was she imagining things here or did Shiki San just blush?
In the end, he gave a short nod and went without a complain or word to change.
In the last moment he turned in the door to muster Yori shortly once more. "You take this all rather calmly, Yori san, why is that?" Sayori thought a second over the question. "I refuse to let him control my live. I am not that easy to intimidate nor to subdue, I think he knows that too. Oddly thought, I begin to think that he prefers it that way?" He gave a tired nod at that. "I think the same. He is peculiar like that, always was from what I know. Please be careful around him, Sayori San, he is unpredictable!" She nodded softly to show that she got that too and turned again to her work.
A short while later the servant came in and helped her cook.
