It's been a week since I left the Sakamaki Household. My home became the Mukami house. How, you will ask. As if I know. I just ended up here. Ruki brought me here. He saved my life from vampires.
But wait, what kind of nonsense am I talking about? The Mukamis were vampires too. Difference between them was that Mukamis didn't have brides and they weren't trying to drink from me. Actually, they never did. You ask again, why was I staying with strangers? Well, the reason was simple. Mukamis were my friends. Ruki, Yuma, Kou and Azusa, I've nkew them about six years. They were studying in my school and we were in Kish's gang. I still don't understand how they entered the school with humans but they did.
Nonw of them mentioned Kishu's name. I don't know if that was good or bad. I just felt unbearable ache when I thought about him. I felt like used person, used by my friend and that made me shed lots of tears. Not only that. Remembering Yui and especially the blond Sakamaki hurt me terribly.
I was on the top of the house, sitting on the roof and looking at the horizon where must be the house my 'family' belonged to. I wondered what did they do when they heard that I left. I wanted to know what Yui felt and what Shuu thought about me. Was he regretting that he let me go? Or was he happy that he kicked the annoying girl out? I didn't know, I wanted to know, but I couldn't. I just hoped that Ayato and Reiji didn't do something to Yui. I just cared about it.
I felt someone came to me ad sat beside me. Kou looked towards me and said quietly
"You sure became quiet person, Kairi" he always called me by my first name. I shrugged "It's the week you are here and you still seem to be flying somewhere else" he remarked
"I'm not flying nowhere. I just feel terribly"
"Why?"
"I don'y know. It looks like my fault"
"What's your fault? That Kiroy almost killed you?" he laughed bitterly
"Don't joke about it, Kou"
"I'm not joking. I just haven't thought that he could be the vampire hunter"
"Did he know about you?" I turned to him
"What?" he blinked
"Don't act. I was living with Sakamakis about months. I can tell all of you are the vampires too" his eyes went widen
"Why are you so sure?" I smiled weakly
"Kou" I looked away "do you think I can't realize that your heart no longer beat?"
You were bride there?" he asked angrily
"Not only one. Yui, the other bride, told me about Kanato Sakamaki's brides collection" he chuckled
"The waxen brides?"
"How di..."
"Don't underestimate us, Kairi" he interrupted "we've brides too but not now" I pulled away
"I hope I wasn't chosen" he licked his lips
"Of course, not. Even if you were, we would never drink from you" I smiled
"You've changed, Kou. You became very serious" he smirked
"Serious, you say? What kind of serious person can drag you to the kitchen and make you cook something?"
"What?" I blinked when he really grabbed my hand and dragged me to the kitchen "you won't"
"Sure" he smirked again
"I won't cook"
"Kairi, this isn't for me but for you. You aren't eating here. You'll become weak and die"
"Kou, I'm not hungry" I said stubbornly
"That's what you say all the time. The week, Kairi, it's the week already" the cold voice interrupted us
"Finally, Ruki" exhaled Kou. The tall black-haired and blue-eyed boy shook the head and patted mine
"How long are you going to be so empty?" he asked
"Empty?" I blinked "what empty?"
"He means how long are you going to punish yourself" 'explained' Kou
"Who said I was punishing myself?"
"Kairi, it's really the week you've not eaten. If you want to die, tell me and I'll help you" I took poker face "stop making those faces. I was examining you for days and it's really annoys me how you are acting like nothing happens to you" Ruki bared teeth
"What do you mean you were examining me?"
"I was checking your condition. For a normal human being hungry for a week is terrible, but for you it's nothing. Also you are neither drinking water and your wound... you are healing too fast without any medicine. Do you think it's normal for a human?"
"I don't get it" Ruki sighed
"Follow me in my room" he walked away from the kitchen. I looked at Kou but his surprised face didn't make any sense. We entered Ruki's cabinet and he sat on the chair at the table. He pointed us to sit in front of him. I did as I was told and looked at him. Kou sat beside me and asked angrily
"What's going on, Ruki?"
"Something very strange, Kou. For the first, I'll need your blood, Kairi. Is it okay?" I nodded and bared my arm. He held it and stocked the needle in the vein. He took some blood and kept in the test-tube. Then put on the table of the microscope and looked in the eyepiece. I kept eye on him, so I could notice his expressions. First he was surprised, the shocked
"What's with that blood?" he ignored me and continued working. At the moment I thought how much he looked like Reiji with his glasses. I shivered. Ruki suddenly looked up at me
"Kou, call Yuma and Azusa, I need them too" Kou nodded and left the room but appeared soon with his brothers
"What's going on with that blood, Ruki?" Yuma's always smiling face changed into serious one
"I need your blood too" said Ruki "but first, come and look" Yuma did what he was told and jerked back
"Wa-wait, that molecules are our" his voice sounded really astonished
"Let me have a look" Azusa looked in the eyepiece and sighed "can you explain wha..."
My attention was caught by something, or should I say, someone else. The blond woman pointed me to go near her. I instinctively stood up and did so
'Do you think she's ready?' asked pink-haired
'No, but we've to hurry' the blond replied
