Chapter six
That day, no one besides Rido slept really inside the house.
All were too busy to wrap their heads around the situation to find much rest. Besides that, Yori had to adjust to the vampires sleeping schedule. To be up at night and asleep at day wasn't actually common for humans in her age. Whatever others thought of teenagers, the most still lived their normal life and did not party each night… at least Yori didn't.
What's more was that she really wanted to strangle Rido more and more each day!
No, scratch that, each hour that she knew him was more like it. Turning yet again in her bed, Yori acknowledged that she began to gain a nasty streak when it came to deal with Kuran Rido! She also understood Hitomi's reactions and Senri's outburst much better each minute she was more forced to Rido's presence. Yori did barely feel the urge to cuss, that man thought had her gotten that far today with ease. Muttering curses to herself she buried her head under pillow in her frustration.
Since her head was covered from her pillow, she failed to notice someone slipping silently into her room.
Senri could only barely try to conceal his bubbling up laughter when his keen ears took on the trail of curses that the petite girl muttered under her pillow. All directed at his father. The Noble had wanted to check on the friend of the Kuran princess out of personal interest too and found her cussing into the bedding to his amusement. He finally lost it and whilst sitting down heavily onto her bed he broke out into laughter for the first time in days. He startled the shit out of Yori with that stunt who promptly hit Senri over the head and right from the bed with her pillow in her shock.
What ended with Senri lying on the floor, still laughing madly and clutching at his hurting sides and Yori glaring down on him whilst hitting him again with her trusty pillow in her annoyance.
What was he doing in her room anyways?
Was every one in this house nuts?
Or was it just Rido's influence that seemingly got the better out of everyone, including her?
Finally giving up she took her pillow and screamed into it. This entire situation slowly got even to her. Senri broke out into a new bought of laughs at that. Finally, sobering up he sat up and rubbed the tears from his eyes, his red hair fell haphazardly around his good-looking model face. The swelling on his right eye was already barely visible anymore.
"Sorry!" He addressed Yori finally who glared currently holes into his head from above.
"I just wanted to talk. I know that you have not been asleep. I could still hear you rummage around so I came over. Seems you didn't hear me knock." He looked at the petite girl in the night clothing onto the bed. For a longer while now he had simply watched the graceful friend of the former prefect Yuuki from out of a safe distance. He was as shocked as the rest when Yuuki turned out to be Kaname's little sister. Even more when he saw his father kidnap the one girl that he had lately began to like out of an unfathomable reason that he could not find out.
Yori wasn't exactly what would capture a second look from one such as him to begin with.
Seeing her how she cared for Yuuki all the time had left Senri feel envois at first.
She was never at the gates to find unless Yuuki had forgotten something and Yori got along with Zero too. It also gave him some thoughts that he had ruthlessly pushed aside until now. To see the elfin Yori in his clothes had an surprising pleasing effect on Senri that he had not awaited to have. Finding Yori's smell all over his bed hadn't helped to avoid the matters either. When he had gone upstairs to change, her scent had practically bombarded him when he reached his room.
In the bathroom it was even stronger.
Senri had needed some minutes to calm down and to block it out and some more, to will his red eyes back to their natural grey blue color.
Then he had stripped and cleaned up before he had flunk his tall frame into the bed, face forward. Burying his face into the pillow to take in the mixed smell of her scent and his. What had oddly calmed him down in the end. Satisfied even. The entire thing had alarmed him of the danger to have the human so near to him. He would have a hard time to control his natural urges around her.
Curse Rido to have brought her into his home!
He still had no real clue what drove him so much to the silent and compared to vampires a little plain looking friend of Yuuki all the time. Rima had called his looks mooning and had told him to get his ass out of the gutter if he ever wanted to talk to Sayori anytime soon. Truth to be told, Senri was rather introverted when it came to such things. Much to the amusement of his best friend Rima who annoyed the hell out of him with her teasing all the time.
Although she did understand the trouble fully well.
He had the suspicion that his father might have caught on his slight curiosity when he took him over. No make that a beginning fixation rather, and that Rido might have taken her because of that. Senri wasn't certain here. All was possible with Rido. He cursed silently in his mind. He knew that he had inherited that affliction to obsession from his sire. His hand went through his hair. It was a scary thing and Senri was fully aware of it, much to his aggravation.
At least he could now talk to Yori without to have Zero breathing down his neck with that scary gun of his or the other hunters trying to kill him in the same moment that he did try!
That hunter had turned into something rather hazardous quasi over night.
It had startled all of the Nobles to what he was capable of when driven too far. He was slowly growing into something that was too much alike to them and alien in the same instant. Senri shook it off. It was better not to dwell on that train of thoughts. If Kaname's look was anything to go by. He would deal with the problematic Hunter turnling himself. Most likely he would keep him at Yuuki's and his side, as a guard, what was actually a honor under his kin. Seiren was openly envied for the trust he bestowed in her.
Back to Yori.
Senri, if he was honest, had kept his musings about Yori at arms length because of them both being too different in more ways then one. The dangers of too much thinking over her were precarious for Senri. She was a human he a vampire, to name one of the problems and the also biggest obstacle to begin with it.
Yet, knowing it all and understanding the risks very well, Senri still wanted to know her better and to simply chain her to him for as long as he could manage.
From what he had found out in the last hours, she must have had confused the hell out of Rido. He refused to call that Vampire his father if hadn't to do so! That Pure Blood madcap wasn't attached that easily without a point, Senri was aware of. Most likely Rido and he too had the same problem with her, as Senri slowly became conscious about.
She was fascinating the both of them.
Albeit each out of different motive. Furthermore, Senri knew very well what the interest of an vampire could do to a hapless human when turning into an uncontrollable passion! To possess something or someone utterly when realizing that they wanted to keep what had aroused their interest, was a dangerous treat that all of them shared in more than one way.
Vampires as a rule did not like to share and were insatiable to a fault.
They were nothing like humans at all.
His kin and humans didn't even think alike!
Be it standing that they craved or a higher class as they were born or turned into, more money or more blood, it didn't matter. Power truly was the only thing that all of them respected and Pure Bloods had the most of that of them all. When it came down to it, they all fought constantly with each other to gain whatever it was that they craved, yes did hunger after to have it in their grasp. It was sheer impossible to wrench it away again from them, once a Vampire had gotten his or her claws into what they desired.
The highly territorial sense in each of them was second nature to them and one of the reasons the hunters called them beasts.
Rido was just more honest in this than the most and more ruthless and powerful enough to get his way. He had no restrains or quails to get whatever he wanted either in using whatsoever was working to gain his goals. Senri, his son, knew all too well that he had inherited that tendency from Rido too. He was more subdued, more subtle, true but still he mostly got his way one way or the other didn't count in this for Senri. He would not simply go and do like his sire, but the gluttonous nature was there in him too, none the less.
But that all made Senri now a highly dangerous creature to be around Yori at the moment and he was alert of that. She had no idea of the true nature of a vampires mind or soul nor of the hidden depths of the darkness inside of them either.
He had the inkling that Sayori slowly got the almost archaic rules by that his people lived in their ages old society.
Her first day here should have nailed that home without a problem. Senri also had come to understand that she wasn't dumb either. Good. She would need her level headed nature and her intelligence to survive the next weeks until Kaname found a way to get her out of here again. Given that Yori did manage to stay human, that was it. If not, Senri would simply keep her himself for as long as he could.
The thought was much too alluring for the currently progressively more possessive feeling vampire Noble.
Eying her with a concealed predatory look that would have sent Sayori running if she had seen it, Senri barely stopped himself from attacking her. He knew, she wouldn't understand why he wanted to drain her to turn and then keep her with him and neither why he would react that way initially. If a human was turned the right way, they could live for a long time actually. Especially when cared for and if kept feed properly. They then often lived a very long vampire life. That way she would have been bound to Senri.
His kin was prone to such reactions like taking advantage of a situation pretty fast and to hit unexpected when such a chance to do so presented itself to them. A vampire would have understood immediately. Would have sensed his interest before hand and have submitted already since he was high born and his claim would have raised their status.
Urges were never easy to deal with and with vampires it was worse, since they mostly had no restrains whatsoever to live them out too.
Senri was no exception from that rule in the least, just more the withdrawn type when one chose to look at it that way.
Slowly he got it that Yori was more the silent type of a person too and that this was most likely what did appeal to him so much, along with her apparently very caring nature and high intellect. With his family history it wasn't so surprising that Senri wanted such concern to be directed at him for a change.
Hitomi had done what she could to shelter him at least a little but the Shiki clan wasn't exactly known for having qualms in sacrificing their children to gain a better standing in their society and had done that with Senri as well in the past. Only the treat of Rido hanging in the air above their heads had stopped them from doing more to him.
That and his prized lineage.
He was just one step down from a full Pure Blood, no matter how mad, Rido still was a Kuran and that gave Senri a lot leverage when it came down to it but also a lot troubles too. Everyone wanted that bloodline. He hated it to be reduced to that and Rima was one of the few that had never tried to gain anything more then friendship from him in the past. She and Takuma, but the Ichijo heir and the Toma heiress were in almost the same precarious position as Senri and so, knew the troubles first hand.
Looking up into Yori's adorable face, Senri suddenly realized something else from his thoughts and musings as well.
He was already too much attracted and moreover, feeling possessive towards to the human girl by now as to simply let her go again, oh shit! Damn it! How in the hell had Kuran Kaname come up with the ridiculous idea that their races could ever get along? What was he supposed to do now? He had to life with her without to have the right to touch her for a longer while now.
Or the Pure Blood Lord or better Shadow King of the Vampires would kill him.
Thus that, Senri would have to explain this all to Yori in a way rather fast, less she would become the prey of others or gods forbid, himself!
It was like opening an entire new can full of worms for Senri and so he shocked Yori a little when he all of a sudden buried his face into his hands with a rather loud growl.
