IMMORTAL GORE

Chapter 9: Two faces

"Let's escape Mikan. This place is bull shit. We don't belong here in the beginning after all." Yoichi's coldly said as he pulled the stiffened girl into his chest "We will be free, I'm old enough to have a job so hopefully we won't suffer through hungers anymore" The guy chuckled at the thought "you and I can go to the grass land, we can have fun whenever we want, we don't have to care about our manners. And more importantly, you don't have to suffer anymore Mikan. I'll protect you."

Mikan thought about what Yoichi said thoroughly that night. She couldn't fall asleep as the terrifying scenes kept running in her mind. She knew in the first place that she didn't belong here yet she managed to stay and listened to whatever they told her to do. She mistakenly thought that if she had stayed, they would have been able to build a new family, she would have found something worth to live for, all she wanted was a family. The little girl lied down on the bed as the tears ran down her cold cheeks, filling her ears full of tears. "I'm such an idiot" she thought as she managed lulling her self to rest.

While Mikan was suffering with her thoughts, Aoi could sense what was happening as Mikan's delicious pure blood filled up the mansion, causing pain and suffer to the immature vampires who were desperately trying to get through their hungers. "He had done something he shouldn't have." her face darkened as she stared at the table full of tasty dishes.

Slowly heading to the room which was only a few steps away, Natsume put one hand inside the black trousers; Opening the door silently, the little girl was now asleep with her steadied breathe tinted with a light sob
"Just like i thought, you are one troubled woman Mikan" he whispered lightly as he planted a soft kiss on her fragrance hair "I'm sorry" his fingers reached for her tear-stained cheek and all of sudden, he pulled it back as the warmth sensation from her skin shocked his fingertips. "How warm she is" Natsume thought then decided to sit down on the chair which was opposite the bed and watched her sleep for a long time before he stood up and walked out the door.

Natsume, whom now was gone, didn't realize there was a person who had watched his every steps while gripping her grips tightly.

The Next Morning

"Good morning Mikan-chan! How was your sleep last night cutie ? You had totally missed the yummy dinner last night!" Aoi grinned widely as she put her hands on Mikan's shoulders, who was then sitting and eating silently, not saying a single word. Awkward silence filled up the room as no one wanted to spill a word from their frozen throats.

"Oh! By the way Mikan-chan, I heard that there was going to be a festival tonight! Do you want to go Mikan?" Aoi tried to lighten the mood but that didn't seem to work. Natsume was reading his usual work while Yoichi was focusing on his new training weapons.
Luckily, there was only one-and-only person who was darn cheered up at the question "Really Nee-sama?! Are they going to have fireworks too? Can we go to the festival ?!" Mikan was excitedly asking as she grabbed her sister's arm. "Of course you can! Oh my~ I'm so excited! Let's pick out a kimono for you Mikan-chan!

"Wait, can i come too? Yoichi questioned with an insecured voice

"Nooooo Yoichi, you will ruin our fun, this is a girls-night-out, right Natsume?" Aoi shot at Natsume a glance then dragged her sister upstairs without caring Yoichi's cold expression towards her.

"Do what you want" Natsume short response.

"W-wait wait ...what about Nii-sama ? Do you think he will allow us to go?" Mikan worriedly asked as she looked down "Don't mind about that jerk, he's just a stubborn head" Aoi coldly said as she opened her drawers which were full of clothes and accessories.

"Just have fun tonight shall we? Lets have a girl's night out and forget about the boys!"

"Yes! Let's do it !" the enthusiastic tone from Mikan had made Aoi giggled. "Sure, we will dear."

After a few minutes roaming inside her huge closets, Aoi was looking for a kimono that would fit her sister. Suddenly, something caught her eyes.
"Check this out ! I bet this one will look fabulous on you Mikan-chan" she tried on Mikan a dark indigo kimono which was embroidered with purple butterflies.

"Nonoko, Anna. Come to my room immediately" Aoi commanded through the phone. Just in a few seconds, two maids appeared and knocked on the door.

"Come in" Aoi said as she was looking for something "Anna, you do the make up. Nonoko, put on the kimono that i placed there. And get her ready before 6." The maids nodded silently
"And I certainly need to get my self ready too. See you later Mikan" then Aoi walked out of the room.

The kimono fitted Mikan perfectly, it contrasted Mikan's pale white skin while the purple butterflies toned up her long auburn hair. Carefully, Nonoko moved on the red obi and tying it on Mikan's waist into a big ribbon which made her look cute yet that didn't ruin the elegant mysterious aura around the girl . A light makeup along with the pinkish small lips had emphasized Mikan's innocent features, and her auburn hair was tied up into a messy updo bun with a flawless hair ornament was pinned on. Mikan now looked gorgeous.

"Oh my ! You look stunning my dear!" Aoi complimented as she giggled" I bet Yoichi couldn't resist your beauty"

"Thank you Nee-chan" Mikan was blushing at the compliment. Nevertheless, Mikan must admit that her sister was such a design-genius. Just in an hour, Aoi had certainly turned herself into a gorgeous sexy woman who emitted that sexy feeling around her, Mikan was admiring that lusicious body of her sister and pitied for her self.

"I should have drunk more milk" Mikan childishly thought then shrugged "but i had no money anyway". It wasn't like Mikan had small breasts nor a flat arse, they were small of course if they were compared to her sister's but truly those curves fitted Mikan's petite body perfectly.

The night had fallen as the streets were crowded more with people. Mikan and Aoi stepped out from the black car while people's gazes were all on them. The little girl was embarrassed as she hid behind her sister mur mur "Can we go somewhere less crowded and watch the fireworks Nee-sama?" Aoi ignored the suggestion since the matured girl wanted the gazes set on her, she was always confident about her beauty and the truth she really was a beauty.

The two girls were having so much fun with all the games and the food that were sold at the festival. They rarely got chances like this since Natsume had always been so unpleasant about the whole going-out thingy. That was the first time Mikan didn't listen to her brother's words as she felt a bit guilty. Yet that guilty feeling was washing off when there were soo many things she enjoyed at the festival. The little girl was so excited that made her forget about the dangerous of being a pureblood, she had let her guard down. After the girls tried all the fun at the festival, they found a place to sit and watching the fireworks. "You stay here a bit, I need to buy something before we get back home" Aoi smiled gently before she left.

"Do as i told you. Don't ruin the plan, then you can do what you want to her, just don't let me see her face again." the familiar cheerful voice was now replaced by an evil vibe in her words. The two strangers nodded as they were hiding something behind those black masks.

Mikan was sitting while watching people having fun. She had bought a big pack of howalons "I'm sure Nii-chan and Yo-chan will be happy when they see this " chuckling at her self.
All of sudden, a pair of big hands grabbed her mouth from behind and pulled the little girl backward into the bush, dropping the pack of howalons onto the ground. Mikan was gone.
