Chapter 17: Answers
"What's wrong, Kaname-sama?" I asked. Something's not right and it's better to kick it down before it gets to me.
"I want you to look after Yori-chan." he said. Haven't I been looking after her ever since she worked in my office?
"I want you to pick her up from her house every morning, stay with her during lunch, and take her back to her house. If you are unavailable, give us a call beforehand. If there's somewhere she wishes to go, accompany her. Never let her out of your sight." Kaname-sama elaborated further. Something crossed my mind when he said 'somewhere she wishes to go, accompany her'. Should I also accompany her to the restroom? And should I also accompany her at the bathroom? And should I also-
Dude, snap out of it!!!!! You're being a pervert! Oh, right. Common sense, Hanabusa. Common sense.
"Okay." I said.
"Kaname-ojiisan, Yuuki-chan, Zero-ojiisan, Grandpa Yagari, Grandma-Grandpa-Cross!! We're here!" we all heard Ana-chan's from the door.
"At the dining room, Ana-chan, Ichiru-kun, Maria-chan." Kaname-sama said.
"Wee~!" We all heard Ana-chan's voice get louder as she ran to the dining room.
"What's with the look, everyone?" Ichiru-kun asked once he took a good look around the room.
"It's confirmed, 'Ru. The 'parasite' is here." Kiryuu said as he came out of the kitchen with a bowl-full of pasta. Ooh! Yummy! Italian-styled spaghetti! Hey, I have to admit, he cooks good.
"I see." He said, pulling a chair for Maria-chan and seated Ana-chan beside her mother.
"So, where's Akatsuki, Ruka, Shiki and Ichijou?" Ichiru-kun asked as he sat beside Kiryuu's chair.
"Akatsuki and Ruka are still out of town. Ichijou is on a date. Shiki... Rima, where's Shiki?" Kaname-sama said.
"Shiki's on a far away place right now and will be returning after a couple of months, a year the longest." Rima said, grinning. Uh-oh. Something's not right. Rima never, I repeat, NEVER, grins.
"Did something happen?" I asked. You never know that it might be a sign that the world would end.
"Oh nothing." Rima said.
"Dinner time!" Yuuki-sama cheerfully piped in. Well, I hope dinner can digest the tense in the room.
X-X-X-X-X
See! I told you dinner could fix anything! Hah! I won!
"So... What's our course of action?" Ichiru said, setting down his cup of coffee. Everybody immediately grasped what he's talking about.
"I've got Aidou to look after Yori-chan." Kaname-sama said before sipping his tea. "But I don't think that's enough. Any suggestions?"
"Thank you so much for the concern, but you guys don't have to stress yourselves-"
"Who wouldn't be stressed if that... that 'disgusting parasite' is anywhere near here?!!!" Kiryuu said, his voice louder. Luckily, Ana-chan is with Yuuki-sama on the music room.
"Zero, calm down. I don't want the house to come crashing down." Kaname-sama said. Kiryuu took deep breaths until his features finally relaxed.
"Me and Ichiru will go around the town. I'll also do a patrol after my hunter duties." Kiryuu said. He's very serious about this. "Is that okay with you, Ichiru?"
"Yeah. It's fine." Ichiru-kun said and smiled at Yori-chan. "Don't worry. We'll protect you from the monster."
"Any more suggestions?" Kaname-sama asked.
"We should send someone to watch over Yori-chan's house." Maria-chan said.
"Shiki and Rima will do that task. Anything else?" Kaname-sama said. Wow. This is like the movies being played on cabled tv.
"Akatsuki and Ruka should also be look outs in case 'he' dares to go near her." Rima said. I'm really feeling uncomfortable about this. I don't know what's going on, and I want answers now.
"You know, it would really make me feel better if you all tell me what is going on. In case it's not really that obvious, I have no idea of what you're all talking about." I said. I sound like a brat. "But you guys don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Yori-chan heaved a sigh before looking around the room.
"Kaname-san, will yo please tell Aidou the basics? No need to elaborate further. Maybe you can tell him after I leave." Yori-chan said.
"If that is you want, Yori-chan." Kaname-sama said. "Ichiru-kun, is it okay if you take Yori-chan home?"
"Yeah, sure." Ichiru said and turned to Yori-chan. "We'll be going after 10 minutes."
"Okay." Yori-chan said. I hope that I would finally get the answers that I would be needing.
...
Why am I so concern about her anyway?
Because the feeling called love exist in your system.
Who said that? And I'm not in love!
I'm your inner self. And I'm not talking about love that you are passionately in love with her. What I meant by love is you love her as a friend... Why are you feeling guilty? So it's true that you love her?
I'm not guilty. I'm just defending myself.
Why are you defending yourself if the question was meant to be harmless?
Because people might get the wrong idea.
You're the only one thinking that people will get the wrong idea.
But that doesn't mean that people will not have the tendency to think that way.
Pfft. Whatever...
So, why are you here? Are you also a part of the people who are inside my head?
No, silly. I'm a part of you.
How come I don't see you in the mirror everytime I look at it?
That's because I'm invisible.
How come I don't feel your presence?
Because you always ignore me. T_T
That's because I don't think you existed before.
I talk to you but what do you do? You always shove me away as if I'm not important.
That's because you're not.
Oh. So now your disregarding one of the most important parts of your pathetic vampire anatomy as if it's a trash?! Well, lookie here, mister. Without me, you might have been exterminated by Zero now. Because without me, you will lack better judgment.
You're not a part of me. I don't call Kiryuu by his name.
I'm being polite!
Why are you so noisy?
Why do yo have so many questions?
Because you're invading my private space.
Excuse me, but this is where I dwell.
Well then, get out. Go find another home. Go on. Shoo.
...You can't kick me out. You have to die first before I go.
I'll find another way.
Oh. She's leaving now.
Who?
Your secretary, dufus.
Oh.
I looked beside me and sure enough, Yori-chan is up on her feet.
"I'll be going now, Kaname-san. Thanks for the dinner." Yori-chan said.
"You're welcome. Take care." Kaname-sama said.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow, Aidou." Yori-chan said.
"'Kay. I'll pick you up at 7:45 tomorrow." I said.
"Okay." She said. "Bye Yuuki, Zero."
"Bye. Take care!" Yuuki-sama said whole Kiryuu just nodded.
"Cross-rijiocho, Yagari-sensei, I'll be leaving." She called out to the two *lovebirds* at the kitchen.
"Bye!" We heard both of them shout. Then Ichiru-kun, Maria-chan, Ana-chan and Yori-chan left.
"Aidou, come with me to my room." Kaname-sama said as he rose from his seat. I followed him up the stairs and into his room. I don't think this is a bedroom. I think it's a house within a house.
"Feel free to seat." He said as he laid down on his couch. I sat at the love seat in front of him and began playing with my hands. I seem to this a lot when I'm around him.
"What do you want to know?" Kaname-sama asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Who is 'he' that you are all talking about?" I asked.
"Do you know Nejiro Rei?"
Author's rambling area: Ooh. Who is Nejiro Rei? Haha! Pretty obvious. But, what is his relation with Yori? And what did he do to make her that frightened? Review to find out! :D
