Chapter 14

I ate my cake quickly, saving the strawberries that were on top for decoration for last. I looked at Ryuzaki with half-lidded eyes. He was sitting there with an empty plate; with those dual black eyes staring at me. Creepy. Has he been staring at me the whole time?

I reached in my coat's pocket and grabbed a little packet of red liquid, and I pored the contents inside into my empty glass; which had water in it earlier. This action caused Ryuzaki to raise a brow, and his eyes seemed to widen if that was even possible.

"Calm down L. It's only blood," I smirked and took a sip. "Yum, B negative, my favorite. Maybe because its my own blood type that I like it so much."

"Lamia."

"Yes, L-I mean, Ryuzaki?"

"Why are you drinking blood?" Ryuzaki asked me.

"It's good. Especially this type. Here, try it." I said and reached across the table and shoved the glass up to his face.

"N-No thanks." Ryuzaki seemed grossed out and pushed my hand holding the glass away.

"What's wrong? Is the mighty detective sickened by the thought of me drinking blood? Haha!" I snorted in laughter but went quiet as I became serious once more to hide my laughter.

In a swift movement I shoved the glass filled halfway with blood to Ryuzaki's mouth. He gasped (which was probably not good for him) and I dumped as much of the red liquid as I could into his mouth. I sat the glass back down on the table and crumpled over in laughter at the look on Ryuzaki's face.

His owlish eyes were wide and an emotion that looked like anger flashed in them, but it was gone so quickly that I could have just imagined it. Ryuzaki wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and his face contorted in disgust as he chugged down what was left of his glass of water.

"Why did you do that?" He huffed as he slammed the now empty glass back onto the table.

"I thought you might want to try some. It's good, is it not?" I retorted.

"I don't think I will ever understand the logic of people like you or BB."

"Ah, how nice of you to say that! I'm glad to hear that I am special enough that even you cannot understand my sociopathic mind."

"You are not very sociopathic right now. You're more like a psychopath. So, I think that you are bipolar." Ryuzaki told me with a plain look on his face, but those eyes of his told a different story; they looked like they were glittering with amusement.

"That's not the first time I've been called those things." I let my face light up a bit.

"You are an odd person, Lamia." Ryuzaki told me and rested his head on his hands.

"As are you, Ryuzaki. Ask me anything you want to know." I told him because I was now bored and I wanted to talk.

"Are you and Beyond in a relationship?"

"W-What? That was a sudden question!" I almost yelled at him.

"But you told me to ask questions and I honestly want to know."

"We're not. And, between you and me, I've never dated someone before. I don't like most humans, more than likely because I want and need to kill over half of them. But, Beyond is normal and I can get along with him."

"You call people like him normal?" Ryuzaki let out a small chuckle, and I found it quite funny.

"Yes I do. You are normal to me too. Ah, before I forget, I'm just going to warn you. If you ever die, I'm drinking your blood." I grinned sadistically.

"If you can find my body, then I am okay with that." He said to my surprise.

"You better not be lying, because with all of the sweets you eat, your blood should taste as good as B's."

"There is an 88% chance you will try to help BB escape prison within the next few weeks," Ryuzaki suddenly said, ignoring what I had just told him. He always has to have the last word, doesn't he?

"Why wouldn't I?" I snapped back at him.

"Because I won't let you."

I closed my eyes to think about what could possibly happen, until I felt a hostile presence. I opened them back up to see an old man with glasses standing in front of my table.

"Oh, hello Watari." Ryuzaki greeted the old man.

"You know this guy?" I asked the black-headed man and he nodded, then turned his attention back to Watari.

"Please come with me Mister Ryuzaki. We have another case to look into." Watari told Ryuzaki and Ryuzaki stood up to leave, but he stopped in his tracks and looked at me.

"Arrest her." He said and pointed a long, pale finger at me. My green eyes went wide in shock and I winced as though I had been hurt.

No one spoke as Watari pulled handcuffs out of who knows where and approached me. I jumped on top of the table and jumped to one nearby. Then to the next, and to the one closest to the door which had people sitting at it. I ended up kicking their plates to the floor which caused a shattering sound throughout the cafe as the plates busted.

"I'm so sorry!" I lied before kicking the door open and running outside.

What the hell is going on anyways? Is it because I made L drink blood? Well fuck me sideways, here they come.

Both of them came walking quickly and got into a fancy black car that was parked nearby. For all I knew, police from all over could be coming to arrest me right now because of L. "Damn you L." I cursed under my breath as I looked for a quick escape route.

The fire escapes! I can climb up those and hide on the roofs of the buildings until they leave. I ran to the side of a building and jumped up, grabbing ahold of the ladder and I climbed up it until I reached the roof. I panted and collapsed because of the adrenaline rush I experienced in my escape from L. I'm safe for now, or at least I hope I am.
