Chapter 7

Re-Rejection

Itori opened the door looking around the dark apartment. She was worried. Uta suddenly left the event saying that he had something he had to urgently attend to. Usually he doesn't leave after he auctions his favorite products. Especially when they cry and refuse to go to their new buyers and he has to discipline them so they know their position and grow some immediate respect.

She switched on the light and pauses when she finds Uta in the couch in the living room relaxing. As soon as she approaches closer he sits up sighing.

"If I told you why I left I was sure you would have come too." He muttered as he rose up obviously signs in his eyes that he was exhausted and falling asleep.

"What do you mean? Why did you leave and why are you here- you could have called me instead of coming all the way U chan."

He frowned as he slipped his hand in his pants pockets. "I received a call from the bartender of Charlie's Playground; the bar at 4th Bailey Street. He said Kaisa was very drunk and needed to be brought home."

"W-What?" Itori said as she dropped the bag and looked around the apartment and a worried expression had immediately befallen upon her face.

"Don't worry she is in bed. Sleeping soundly….well, now at least."

"Well wow I neve- wait…badly drunk…how drunk like a little weak in the legs or like a bad case of dizziness or aumm….completely a different person"

"…..a completely different person." he mumbled as he witnessed Itori face-palm and sighed.

"I will say it from now, I'm sorry you had to see that side of her. When she drinks….it's like she is 12…very childish and amazingly- the opposite of composed….sexual and stuff- did she come on to you?"

"I think that goes without a response…."

"Oh dear, even though you confessed to liking her today things moved from 15 to 100 in a big jump. Well- wait- you didn't get in bed with her right?!" she asked looking at him-no- glaring, especially at the last part.

"No, the closest I went was to put her in it and take her out repeatedly. She brought everything back up…a few times in a row."

"Well that saves me from a morning mess. Thanks for….dealing with something like that." she said softly blushing lightly. Kaisa won't live this down. Never.

"We're ghouls. We have tortured humans till they were reminded that they are merely organisms, mammals and animals. We have seen the worst."

"True enough aumm….she asleep?"

"She was lightly groaning, she stopped after I gave her a stuffed animal she had on the table and kept calling for."

"Perfection." she replied before sighing. She walked to the kitchen putting on the kettle.

"I'll take my leave now."

"sure…fuck….."

Uta paused going to the kitchen looking at her a bit concerned. "What?"

"I think, I told Kaisa that you don't like her, and because of that she drank…a lot."

"Oh…how- so in a misunderstanding- you said that I refused her interest?"

"Well she asked if you liked her through me and, I gave her a response that I think she misinterpreted."

"She…"

"Well both of us."

"A response that I said what to her feelings?"

"hmm….a solid no…"

"Itori chan that makes me sound like a jerk."

She sighed deeply. "It's okay…I'll ahh…somehow in some strange and abnormal way since this is going to be awkward- fix it. You can go."

"Okay." he looked at her one last time. He hoped she fixed it since that was his opposite response.

Itori carried the ginger tea into the room after she had finished making it. Kaisa was curled up under the sheets but she could see her and hear her breathing.

"At this rate she might catch a cold if her hand is sticking out like that." Itori said looking at the human on the bed sleeping so carelessly with her hand out the sheets and hanging off the bed. She tucked her hand back in and poked Kaisa on her boob. She immediately opened her eyes in defense mode cringing as the hangover slap her in the face.

"Don't worry, its just 3 in the morning." She said looking at the noriet that sat up slowly. Her face was slightly swollen, her eyes were red and she had dried drool on her chin. So…pretty. (sarcasm)

"W-where is Uta?"

"Not even Welcome Home, How was the event, I love you- but instead 'where is Uta'"

"Sorry…..welcome home~…..h-h-how was the vevent…..I wuv you…you look pretty"

She smiled lightly rolling her eyes. "Your mildly drunk-but drink this, your half asleep and look like a mess. First aumm, I'm sorry"

"I'm sorry? For what?"

Itori frowned. She thought back to the event.

Uta was in his room speaking with kyle. Itori was staring at the human in the cage poking him as he flinched. She was wearing her mask and smiling brightly underneath. This human obviously was in a mental stage horrified at this point and crazy. She covered the cage back with the sheet as she turned to Uta.

"I heard he is a police man," she said raising the mask.

"oh~ I wanted to penetrate him, but he was so mentally ill~ he is so handsome too~"

"Oh nico chan- wait, why don't we sell the business man with him the one you were playing with all week?"

"Oh, I ended up hurting him a little, but maybe it could be a nice price, he is very tolerant~"

"Oh~ sell him, U chan….I want to auction him-"

"No- if he is tolerant then I'm sure is gonna refuse to be sold, so having him get stricken shall be a good entertainment." Uta said as he fixed his tux.

"Nico get the business man." Uta ordered.

"Without delayyyy~" he said leaving the room as he dragged the covered cage with him by the chain like instead of the barred metal square it was attached to a dozen of plastic bottles.

Itori turned to Uta sighing. "This is awkward but it seems that Kaisa feelings are strong, I think she really wants to reach somewhere, with you, that's how she feels."

Uta turned to her as he looked at her pausing. "What else…does she feel?"

"Well you know the typical 'I like you stuff'. She desires you and once your name pops up her ahh- she brightens up a little. Don't flatter yourself U chan. I'm the one who makes her boat sails and you know that."

He pouted, "Itori chan that's mean, you might hurt my true feelings for her."

"True feelings?" she rose an eyebrow and the smiled. "You guys are crazy! It's like a romantic comedy but it has a tragedy. Both different species, two different people, never works…never had- never will. My information is tight….if there was a way- I would let you know."

He leaned against the wall. "What did she ask you to do? You wouldn't come here telling me this without purpose." he asked looking at her as she looked at him frowning.

"She wants to know how you feel."

"Am I allowed to answer that?"

"Eh…what does that mean?" she asked giving him one hell of a glare. "You answer me and keep in fact that I am in this equation." She growled.

"If you weren't in the equation, I would have raped her." he said looking at her with a very serious expression.

"You animal!" she said her eyes activating as she barked at him.

"If you weren't- but you are, so instead…" he said quickly as he watched her calm down. "I was just teasing… but instead I want to have her gently, correctly, I'm interested."

She blinked. She poked him on his chest. " Hello- where is U chan….this guy in his skin just said something very un-Uta like with his voice. What do you even like about my Kaichi?"

He shrugged. "Too many questions in such a short time~" he teased playfully while putting on his mask as the event required his presence by the sound of the opening act.

"W-what- tellll meeeeee!" she said putting back on her mask as he walked off and behind the curtains into the flashing lights.

She stomped her foot and hissed.

Damn U chan.

Itori sighed deeply as she blinked looking at Kaisa.

"So…he really likes you."

"What…."

"Yes...he really, really likes you- well that is what he said but I think it's just crazy cause he is a very-"

"He really likes me?!" Kaisa yelled looking at Itori.

Itori nodded. "Like I said, he doesn't usually like people he is never a romantic guy-"

"B-but he said…"

"Just- get some rest okay?"

"I led him on tonight he was really holding back I could feel it. I think- I think he really likes me and he was looking out for the care of my vulnerability."

"Or….he wasn't even interested in you and he just wanted you to rest, trying to push you off with a smile." Itori said looking at her smiling but Kaisa wasn't smiling back instead she became sullen. "I mean aumm- d-drink the tea and go to bed okay. I will turn up the AC to make it even cozier- j-just the way you like it."

Kaisa nodded and took the tea drinking it.

She left the room closing the door behind her as she leaned against it. Without realizing it she just acted mean to Kaisa- but it was because of Uta! She couldn't stand watching her fall head over heels with someone as heartless and emotionless as Uta who so called 'really likes her'. Even if he came to her help tonight maybe it was just to leave the show for a while. It never made sense, when it came to Uta it never usually does. Because Uta was like that. Odd, mysterious, different and dark. But put him with Kaisa and it's like putting a fish in a volcano. Someone gets hurt. And it was obvious the fish would die….it was obvious the fish was Kaisa. There was no way it would work. There was no way it was possible.

Uta pulled off his tux as he undid the vest putting it on the hanger going right down till he was bare and stepped in his shower as the water sprayed from the showerhead faucet and unto his body. He stared at the tiled wall before him.

Tonight was probably an encounter quite similar to the one he felt very long ago in his early youth when he hadn't eaten for a month. When he had to hold back so tenderly off killing his own men before he came upon humans. But even so erupted the birth of cannibalism.

But back then the pressure of self-control was similar to now. And unlike in the past when he lost it, tonight he had to hold out and pay very dearly by suffering inside.

It was hard to hold back on her, when she was so easy. So easy that since he reached at the bar the could've pulled her into an alley way and just devour her, not eat her, but sexually devour her with every urge he had. It was wrong. He never felt like this not to a girl much less a human.

He had been with female before, they were ghouls, and if it wasn't a curious test of sexual experiments or just a release of sexual frustration it was then something sexual that ended into a meal. One of them was left standing, and as reality states- he was alive. But from he saw her at the bar, she was intriguing and her beauty caught him. She was equally beautiful as Itori but unlike Itori's dangerous and alluring nature Kaisa carried some level of innocence and intrigue. The scent of her blood was delicious which made him curious how an eater like Itori held back on this human friend so long.

Along with such a curious thought was the fact that they had so much in common. Her art. It wasn't like he didn't know her work in the market. Kaisi- Kaisa Teressi. And once he saw her in person he became even more intrigued in her, he wanted to see her more, and if it wasn't her creative art, there was her photgraphic art. Fifty grand was worth two of his own*. And seeing that he got others, it was worth the cost. But he wanted to know her more and liked her so much because she was simply different.

He realized his true attraction to her the second time he met her at the bar when the guy bumped into him. He never had to move since such weak force against him wouldn't make him budge but it was a good excuse to get closer to her…physically. He knew then he really liked her, and it grew from that, from liking her as a crush to an attraction then an urge and now a desire for her. Now worse for him today when he had to fight against this type of temptation.

I want….to lick you

I want you…

How was he to deal with her in that state?

Then lick me….I want you too. As much as those wanted to slip out he had to hold on to them.

Don't act like you don't want to go there, you might be fighting it, but right now your eyes tell me how much you want to just bite me….everywhere…..don't you?

He turned off the water and covered his mouth as his wet hair stuck to his skin with the water dripping down his body. He didn't just want to bite her, gosh, he wanted to fuck her- rip her and watch her just beg for him- to have his way to his heart's content.

He stepped out the shower drying his body getting dressed as he released a sigh going to the refrigerator and getting an eye from his bowl of eyes staring into the fridge.

Yes he was fighting the animal inside and yes she could call him as evil as much as she wanted but he knew what he was doing to himself was evil. He took the entire bowl out and began licking and chewing as he leaned against the counter after closing the fridge.

It was a sexual torture he never felt before or inflicted upon himself of just fighting the urge to do to her as he wanted. It wasn't the same when you liked someone this badly and couldn't have your heart's desire. Instead you were left waiting and wandering. At first he enjoyed the teasing but now he really wanted to make a move. Worst if he made a move would he want to continue or would he be displeased?

The answer was obvious anyways. She liked him, he liked her. Now that he verified that today- wouldn't it mean he never had to hold back, doesn't this mean he could make the first move.

There were many things that crossed his mind how could he even put all this into act if he never wanted to push it too fast and make it feel rushed either, well, things usually are abrupt, most of the girls he met usually they had sex the following day or the day after that. This was 2 weeks so far now. Completely new to him. He shouldn't be focusing on sex either what about her as a person, but like Itori said she was a human how was it going to-

His finger hit the base of the bowl and he looked down into the empty bowl frowning.

He never liked eating when he was thinking up a storm.

He wiped the stained blood at the base with his finger licking it off as he pouted staring at the now clean, spotless and empty bowl.

"…..I need more eyes."

I liked this chapter. It brought out things from Itori's side and Uta's side that I really got to wipe off the slate so I can get some advancement going on. I hope you guys liked. Please favorite, follow and review!
