Yes, I'm doing an update on Shuu's! And I won't say much, because I want to start writing since I've been kinda bad at updating...
But do you want to know a secret~? *Whispers* I'm in love~... *Embarrassed*
SAKAMAKI SHUU X KAZUKA MAYU = SHUYU!
RATED: T FOR THE MOMENT!
Mayu's personal update: 1 AM. Cleaning. No Shuu. Where the hell's he at? Donno. Anyway. Other vampires at school. Maybe that where Shuu is too? Donno. Anyway. Feeling pretty safe right now. Have to do my cleaning before trying to flee. Next update comes within an hour. If I'm still alive.
Funny thing, how I always end my updates like that – 'If I'm still alive'. I actually started writing updates the night after Shuu almost raped me. It helps me keep track of what I do, and also helps me think of what I could and should do for survival. It's simply said just calming.
Next cleaning spot; The Culture Courtroom. Yes, you heard me.
"And as a final task, I will demand of you to clean The Culture Courtroom. If I can't see a shining reflection of myself clearly, a punishment is what you will be receiving until you have learned your lesson." Is what Reiji had told me, right when I was eating breakfast.
I bet I'll be punished if you can see your bitter expression as a reflection, won't I?
But hey, who could complain? I had gotten a fricking map from him, which probably was the most wonderful gift that I could ever receive from Reiji. So finding 'The Culture Room' wouldn't be a problem now, would it?
And here it was, the last room that has to shine in cleanliness before I can finally go find a way out of my prison (aka the mansion).
And it was big, the name really stood up to its reputation! I mean, big, magnificent pictures hanging on the walls everywhere, a big, old-fashioned piano just standing in one of the corners – as if begging to be played with (haha...) -, and books resting on the shelves of stately bookcases. And lots of other instruments too, I noticed.
Well, cleaning the mighty piano first of all couldn't be that much of a problem, now could it?
Grabbing the wet cloth firmly in my hands, I began to sweep it softly over the piano – as if fearing that it could break that easily –, watching as it leaved wet, gleaming traces after gliding across the space. A catchy song, that was still catchy no matter how many times you listened to it and no matter how old it got, began playing in my head, making me bounce to the rhythm.
Little sentences from the lyrics began bubbling up. "Well you can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a womans man!" Such a good song, it truly is... Putting my hand up in the air, palm facing the piano in front of me (like it does when you say 'talk to the hand'), I sang again, my favorite part. "No time to talk!"
I heard someone growl, but thinking that it was probably just my own imagination (since the video I used to listen to the song on had a growling dog in it), I continued cleaning the piano, making it so beautifully shining as possible.
It wasn't until the chorus in the song came that I understood that it wasn't.
"Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin' and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive. AH, HA, HA, HA, STAYING ALI-OUCH WHAT THE FUCK!?"
Something had collided with my head. Something round. And very hard. Ouch. And in my two, cupped hands in front of me, the object was resting. I always began trembling when I saw what it was.
"This... This is a maracas..."I said, questioning however and whoever it was that threw it at me. I looked around.
Nothing.
"Nnnngh...!"
But a sound coming from behind the couch there!
A pretty annoyed one, almost a growl like I'd heard earlier. I snapped at the sound, taking the maracas into a firm grip beside my head, ready to kill. "Surrender! I have a mighty weapon! It is a very powerful..."
I looked at the red maracas. Feeling myself beginning to sweat. "...bazooka...?"
It sounded more like I was asking the thing behind the couch if my false lie had its approval.
"Put that mighty weapon down, it's making me tremble in fear." Spoke a low voice, not even sounding dramatic or... well, anything, and a yellow head popped up from the couch's edge, eyelids almost fully down the blue eyes in dis-allowance. Not an impression at all on his face.
Yes, I just described Shuu.
I hadn't talked to him since that time. You know, when he said that he was going to wait with taking my virginity until I 'beg him to do it'. When he had that alarming, dangerous, confident smirk on his face, when not only his lips grinned, but his eyes as well? Yes, that time.
"How old isn't that song, I wonder..." He sighed, lazily standing up on stumbling legs. Hadn't he already slept all night and day? Still tired, it seems.
I straightened my pose, trying to look into those stupid, tantalizing eyes. "W-Well, it's still a g-good song!" I stuttered, feeling stupid that couldn't even get out a good, ordinary sentence. It was as if I knew perfect English, but I had forgotten how to talk it. And that felt frustrating...
He gave me a long, slow stare, before rubbing the back of his head with close eyes, sighing. "Don't sing it again. You're terrible..." He spat, beginning to walk out of the room with a sudden alertness in his movements.
I flinched, taking a step back in offense. That must have snapped something inside me, because now I quickly ran out of The Culture Courtyard, following Shuu's every step, still clutching the maracas tightly in my right hand. "Oh yeah!?" I yelled swinging my arm outwards, challenging, receiving a tired snort from the blonde guy. "I'LL FUCKING SHOW YOU!"
Shuu turned around, as if wanting to see what I was going to do so that he would have something to mock and tease me for later.
I couldn't care less, he had started it, and I will finish it.
I got in position – one leg bent out, both arms up in the air, shaking the maracas, butt out, breasts out, and the most important thing. Serious look.
Aaaaand... Begind!
"LA CUCARACHA, LA CUCARACHA! YA NO PUEDE CAMINAR!" I followed him, dancing as I went forward, and I swear to god that he was almost running from me. "Don't you flee from me now! YOU STARTED THIS, SHUU!"
"You're annoying... Go away..."
"MAKE ME!"
"Why are you so loud...?"
"BECAUSE I HAVE A MARACAS IN MY HAND!"
"That's not a good reason..."
"IT IS!"
"It is for a stupid, lewd woman like you, I guess..."
"WHAT!?"
And we (I) had a fun time, running around the house why singing the La cucaracha and dancing while shaking a maracas – I've never felt more Spanish than that, just wished that I had a mustache.
It continued until Shuu finally understood that the only way to make me stop was to take my maracas, which he did of course.
"Why can't you be normal...?" He asked, throwing the maracas away while watching my begging expression as I tried to reach it.
I pouted, folding my arms. "I'm sorry if you couldn't get your dream-girl!"
He snorted at that comment.
And before things could get or sound any more serious, I quickly added something with raised eyebrows and a small smile. "You could always let me go. It's a win-win situation for both of us!"
No answer. So I guess that's a no then... Terrific...
Why would he want to keep me? Did he just want to kill me? Was it because he couldn't let me go now that I could identify him and his brothers?
Fuck him anyway...
And now we had this awkward silence too, with me just following him around like a lost puppy. So I had to start saying something. "You know when I first sang that song?"
No answer.
Well, good start anyway.
"It was when I turned four, actually~! We used maracas that time too." I continued, waving my index finger in rhythm with what I said, a smile appearing on my face as old memories came back. Such a good time that was, really.
I cast a glance at Shuu, watching how he wiped a closed eye in disinterest, acting colder than the early October night outside the window on our life side. Oh! early October, that's right! That's a way to get his darn attention!
"But hey, Shuu. It's your birthday soon, ain't that right?" I jolted, skipping at Shuu's slow pace with a little smile decorating my face.
I sure hoped that his birthday was in early October. If not, I'd be embarrassed. Because it should be in early October. Either that, or late Sepember, if you think after his zodiac sign – Libra.
Shuu looked up at me, and a small tinge of surprise gleamed in his blue eyes, even though he still remained at a calm, collected expression. "Why would you even remember something worthless like that...?"
What a relief, because I thought that he would ask me how I knew that, which would make me look like a creep that googles people to find out every damn detail about them just because I have very little to do. Which isn't totally false, but I won't confirm it either.
"Well," I began insecure, wondering how to answer it. It didn't take long for me to understand how obvious it was, how he could even question it was what was weird. "because birthdays are important!" I smiled, entangling my fingers beside my back as I continued walking beside Shuu. Whom raised an eyebrow at me, but still wearing that I-don't-give-any-fucks expression, that very disturbing expression.
"And here I was, thinking that you were some creep that googles people to find out every little detail about them just because they have very little to do."
Ouch, he hit the spot...
"Well, maybe you, sir, are the one that has very little to do if you go around thinking such about others..." I mumbled, turning my head to the side so that he wouldn't hear.
"When was it again? Exactly?" I asked, running ahead of him so that I could face him while walking backwards.
"...What...?"
"Your birthday?" I asked, beginning to feel rather, somewhat, extremely fucking irritated.
A mumble, a small one, could be heard, but not what it said. "What did you say?" I asked, cupping my ear with one ear and moving closer.
"...Tired.."
Huh?
"...Need to sleep..."
What?
"...Leave me alone..."
WHAT!?
Aaaaaand, collapse. On me. On the cold, hard floor. Ouch. "S-Shuu! C'mon! Get up!"
"...No..."
"YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE!"
"...And you're annoying..."
WHAT!?
"SO JUST GET OFF OF ME THEN!"
Why was this happening to me...?
So I decided to gave up, just lie there like a broken carpet under Shuu. How funny, he asked of me to leave him alone, yet he was the one making it impossible for me to...
Such an ass, and here I was, planning to buy him a stupid, darn present for his stupid, darn birthday... Did he want me to just yell out; "HEY, I'M GOING TO GO AND GET YOU A TOP SECRET PRESENT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY, HAHAHAHA!"?
Why does he have to be so mean? And I'm serious this time.
Which he must have noticed, since out of nowhere, the weight traveled to the left slowly, as if he was rolling off of me. He was!
Why being kind all of a sudden? I wonder.
"Thank you." I smiled softly, standing up as I looked into Shuu's nearly closed eyes, still having that familiar I-don't-give-any-fuck look. "Can you tell me when your birthday was again?"
Carefully asking, I made him sigh and slowly shake his head, giving off the same feeling that you get when someone rolls their eyes. "The 18th..." He mumbled, closing his eyes as he went back to taking a nap on the cold, wooden floor.
I was actually happy and proud of myself that I'd made him answer, but I also got kind of stressed. The 18th is in three days, which means that I can't take the help of Shuu to get him a present. I'll have to use someone else...
"Thank you, Shuu! I'll see you soon! Or maybe not! But That'll be a surprise! No, there is nothing about surprises here, no, no! Anyway, bye!" I facepalmed myself, feeling the stupidity so much inside me that I could nearly feel it flow out my ears and nose too. Gosh, I'm awkward. How did I become so socially awkward anyway? Dammit, mum, it's your fault! Letting me be home with my weird family instead of with classmates!
And even though I ran away when he was sleeping, I was sure that I saw him cast a look at me when I ran past the corner where I was finally able to get a quick look at him without having to turn around completely. And then the wall got in the way of my sight of him, and I just continued running.
On my way to Reiji.
They should be home from school by now, possibly being in their rooms. And I had no idea where Reiji's could ever be, so I just had to look around in about every room.
Time was running out.
Why am I so slow at updating nowadays? Well, because we're getting our grades in school right now and I've got work to do outside of school to earn money~! And, well, because I've kinda... fallen in love with someone... kinda...
OH WELL WHO THE HELL CARES I DON'T STOP IT I NEED HELP WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME AND THANKIES FOR READING I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY GOSH BYE!
