Summary: What if Kaname set Kain earlier on free foot again? What if he run into a mousy looking girl names Shindo after that?
Chapter four
Much later had Shindo and Kain go shopping for new gear for the Vampire.
Since he had no longer much with him since he had left the council hall after getting Ruka's message. Kain had not turned back in at his former place after that.
They ended up also buying a new cover and cushion for the bed and mattress as well as a new comforter and some other things, like a new lamp for Shindo. When the two finally went home again, Kain found out to his astonishment, that he had forgotten to think about Ruka for the rest of the entire day outside! They had gone in daylight since the chance to run into Vampires was lower in the broad daylight.
Still, all three had taken on a run when he had taken money from his account at the bank.
At first Cross went with them but then he got a call that had him leave them in the town. And true to Kain's foreboding feeling, Hanabusa had shown up only a few minutes after they all had left in a hurry. Tussled looking and ill in mood. To find out that he had missed Akasuki by mere minutes had made the Vampire almost aggressive, in the end he had identified Cross on the camera pictures and had went to the academy to ask him some questions.
Only to shortly later leave again, empty-handed and in an even fouler mood as before.
Looking again at the pictures he noticed the mousy looking girl in the back for the first time. She stood slightly behind the duo on the counter. Thinking it an accident and her not important, Hanabusa went back home to bed. Resigned that Kain still avoided him like a plague.
Hanabusa swore that he would strangle a certain member of the Kuran family if he ever got his hands on that neck! After that, he made a note to search through the shops in town on a later time. Maybe one or two had seen his elusive cousin and could tell about his whereabouts.
In the meanwhile the duo had went on with their shopping spree of the different kind.
Sitting heavily now down onto the couch much later, the two exchanged a look before both broke out in fits of childish laughter. They had constantly run from the shops in fear to have Hanabusa suddenly turn up. It was kind of sardonic what they had done, really. The longer they were out, the more that had turned into a game for Shindo and Kain.
How fast could they purchase what they needed, without to have someone look into any addresses to tell a snooping around Hanabusa about later about it.
In the end they had even dared to eat ice cream in an ice-parlor together to confuse him even more.
Later, in the beginning night, both found themselves back sitting at the low table at the kitchen. It wasn't that small but still Kain managed it mostly to brush his feet occasionally along Shindo's because his legs were too long. What had both look embarrassed at each other every single time that happened at first. Soon both took to it that he put his legs to one side and Shindo hers along the other side of the table. Or both sat cross legged at it. Shindo did study out of some books on Psychology and science and Kain found himself engrossed in one of her books about Freud's theories.
This was how Yagari found the odd couple on one of the agreed upon check ups on Shindo.
Cross had given him the extra keys to the estate and he had simply taken advantage and sneaked in. Only, to have a steaming hot coffee pot waiting for him on the empty spot on the table onto a heater pat what clearly told the Hunter that Kain had sensed him in time. Smirking he put his gear down took his mantle off and settled finally at the low table with a gruff hello. It was barely audible echoed back from the two what made Yagari give them a puzzled look.
One look at the staple of books laying in the middle of the table had him arch a brow at the material that both seem to read up upon.
"Rather harsh stuff to study, which one's idea was that by the way?"
Kain pointed without looking up at Shindo over the table with his index finger while Shindo pointed back at him with her pen the same way. Yagari's rough laughter filled the place. "Seriously, Sigmund Freud, Akasuki San? Isn't that a little bit too deep for an impromptu afternoon study session?" Both younger people on the table wordlessly shook their heads, almost in unison what had Yagari anew snigger madly.
"Are you two going to look at me any time in the future?"
Shindo's and Akasuki's slightly perplexed looks at him told the Hunter clearly that both were far, far away from here right now in their minds. "Never mind." Waving them off, the man let them go back to their studies. As far as he could tell, Shindo Chan was fine and that Akasuki brat was calmer as before. Better looking he did too, come to think of it. Scratching his chin Toga shrugged. Normally Yagari would have removed that Vampire from her near presence immediately after finding out but Cross had talked him into this mess instead.
How did that stupid idiot always manage that anyways?
Leaning onto the free space onto the low table on one arm, Yagari reached out with one hand to fish around in the staple of books in the middle until he found one tome about ethic and psychology and began to read as well. Hell, he had some time to kill anyways before he had to go to his next assignment in town, so why not doing something useful for once?
It was almost midnight when Shindo said her goodnights and went to bed.
Closing the book that she had offered to lend out to Yagari, the Hunter fixed the Vampire on the table with his one eye calmly.
He was not surprised to find Kain look calmly back at him from his spot. His fingers still between the pages of his book, Kain's amber gaze gave nothing away to the Hunter. Thought his outer appearance, now that did tell volumes to Yagari about Kain's momentary state of mind. "You and I know the drill, Akasuki San. Don't do something stupid, don't snack on her and please don't drag her into your troubles. And before you even begin, I know that this was Kaien's marvelous idea… what a surprise. However, I almost agree with him this time. You really look like batshit from Hell, Vampire. No offence but what the fuck has you been thinking you were doing lately?"
Kain just shrugged nonchalantly.
"I guess I didn't think at all for a while and no, I did not go and kill hapless humans while I was… err, sidetracked. If that is what you really wanted to know, oh master of well-mannered tête-à-tête." He gave Yagari a toothy grin. It was returned the same stile. "I was taking tablets, believe it or not and if I came across a Level E I took the chance so sue me for that."
Yagari arched another brow.
"You aren't surprisingly the one that went and stole Zero's level E's from the lists, housing in the old Midon shopping mall? Last week, around Thursday?" His voice held an amused tune that had Kain beam sheepishly back at Yagari. "Uh, I guess? Why? Was he very mad that I took his normal method of anger management out under his nose? They wasn't even the most tasty bunch to boot. You can tell him that I will not repeat that any time in the future."
Yagari barked a laugh. "Mad? Just mad? Zero was furious when he came back and could not find them! And to your message, you can do that yourself, brat, he will be here tomorrow to look after Shindo Chan. Hell freezes over if I am the one who comments on his tastes in food!" He and Kain dissolved in guffaws. Rubbing the tears out of his eye, Yagari finally went to his assignment, still sniggering madly.
Kain watched him go and was surprised from it to have actually liked to have a word exchange with the gruff Hunter for once.
