AHHHHHHHHHH! I'M BACK! I am so sorry that I pretty much went AWOL (absent without official leave for those who don't know). It's just that this idiot decided to invent this really stupid thing called HOMEWORK! I've been pretty much drowning in paper and as a result I couldn't update until now. But I'm here now! Enjoy!

Chapter 5

Finally Showing Fears

I slowly open my eyes and regard the fact that my back is resting on a sofa next to a swimming pool. A very big swimming pool; indoors next to a sofa.

"Yo, are you awake yet?" Ayato asks.

I answer by turning on my side and making myself comfortable ready to sleep again. Hey! This sofas comfy and I've just had my blood sucked; cut me some slack ok?

"Stay right there Ayato, you made the stupid mistake of sucking me until I sleep and now you face the consequence of me sleeping and ignoring you."

He scoffs at me. "You still don't get it yet don't you?"

I'm about to ask what I should get when he suddenly picks me up bridal-style and walks over to the edge of the ridiculously huge pool.

I mentally widen my eyes at the action but mask my fear.

"Ayato, please put me down." I ask him politely but firmly as he edges closer to the edge.

"You are at the mercy of Yours-Truly." He starts.

"Ayato, put me down!" I breathe erratically as I show my fear.

"I can do whatever I like."

"Ayato please!"

"Some whimpering over every little thing!"

"AYA-!" I never finish my scream as he chucks me ruthlessly into the pool.

Rushes of air pass through me and I desperately try to reach for the surface catching little parts of speech coming from his mouth but I'm too busy focusing on surviving to care.

"Ayato! Help me!" I cry before the water engulfs me once again.

The fight to keep air in your lungs. The weight of your body dragging you down. The water enveloping you like a cradle as you give up.

My senses dull as I close my eyes and start surrendering to endless sleep when I dully hear the sound of splashing water. Seconds later someone grabs me by the wrist, holds me close…

…and kisses me as I black out once again.

Only to come too seconds later coughing, wheezing and crying.

"Ayato..." I cough a few times more before I resume my sentence. "Please, I beg of you…never do that again?"

"You're hopeless." I don't argue with that. "But I suppose you've had enough for one day."

He swims us both to the edge and places me on solid ground.

I rely on my hands and knees for support as I try to stop my tears and calm my breathing as I feel a towel land on my head.

Maybe it's an act of kindness, maybe an apology but Ayato simply leaves without a word; wet, cold and as he said, completely hopeless.

.o0o.

Fully clothed and dry, I retrace my steps to find the room that I saw my adoptive father's diary I found the night I arrived. Sweeping the floor with my eyes to make sure I'm alone, I step in and close the door behind me.

It's still here. Right where I left it. I don't care much about my fake father figure but maybe there might be a clue as to why he would send me here.

I flick through the yellow pages to find them blank.

"What the hell?" I mumble in astonishment. "This can't be." But the more I flick through, the more disappointed I become. All of the words have been completely erased somehow.

Chapter five is officially done! I cut out the part where Ayato bites Yui in the swimming pool as you've noticed. Why? Because it's not freakin' possible to survive after that!

Think about it as maths:

Human-blood+swimming pool-the ability to swim-more blood= DEAD HUMAN! Sorry Yui I love you but YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED!

Anyway, Sorry for the very long wait but I'll try to do a chapter every week from now, no promises. And sorry that I had to make you think about maths.

Review please! It would mean a lot to me if you told me what you think about this story!
