Chapter 8
Marinel returned to her room, dusk was fast approaching and tonight was the night that she would go with all three girls on a sort of date. But she had no idea what she was even doing at this point.
"Well great, now what?" She thought as she paced around the room, what could she even do that wouldn't cause them to fight or bicker. The more she thought about it the more she knew that they would end up fighting one way or another.
"Well there is always the club… would they even like it?" Dancing would usually be fine right?
As she paced around, her door opened up, -"Ah there you are Mari."- Yaya walked inside her room.
"Well hello Yaya, did you come to see me?"
Yaya nodded, -"Are you really going out with them? Is that a good idea?"-
"Honestly no, however," Marinel placed her hand on her hips, "Can you imagine if I got all three of them in bed with me." She licked her lips while Yaya said nothing, "Oh what's the matter, feeling left out love?"-
-"Aaah what?! No not really." Yaya sat on her bed, -"Is this what you really want?"-
Marinel rubbed her chin, "I'm going to be honest sugar, I don't really know what I want anymore. Part of me wants to have them in bed with me and other…" She sighed, "I want to actually be with."
-"Really?"-
-"Well enough about me love,"- she smiled then sat next to her, -"So tell me, who is this lucky lady."-
-"W-what?! I don't have anyone like that!"- Yaya inched away from her, a red hue on her face.
"Oh really? Hmm, I guess those looks you were giving Tsubomi were nothing then. My mistake." Yaya's face said it all the moment her expression changed.
-"I don't know what you're talking about!"-
-"Really? So then you really don't like Tsubomi?"- She inched ever so closer to Yaya, her face mere centimeters away from her and a huge grin on her face.
Yaya backed away, then sighed, -"I… Ever since Hikari had feelings for Amane I just…"- Yaya took a breath, -"But I've accepted it, it hurts like crazy but I think I can let her go, I mean she's still my best friend but I can let her go."-
"And Tsubomi?"
Yaya held her hands together, -"It's strange, I never thought she would be there for me, I mean she's annoying as hell but when it comes down to it… she really has done a lot for me."
"So why not just ask her out love?"
"I don't know."
-"Oh come now sugar!"- She wrapped her arm around Yaya and pulled her to her, making her face plant into her breasts, "You have got to be strong and chase after her, if you don't then you're gonna regret it love, if you feel so much for Tsubomi then I say go do it, ask her out or something."
-"Mari."- her voice was muffled.
"You can't be scared, and besides what if Tsubomi is the best thing to happen to ya?"
-"Mari!"- She spoke louder despite how she sounded.
"Yes love?"
-"I can't breathe."-
-"Oh!"- She let Yaya go as she pulled her face away from her bosom and she took in deep breaths.
-"They're so soft yet firm…"- She said quietly hoping that Marinel wouldn't hear.
"Well thank ya love," she giggled though that's when Yaya's face went red upon learning she said that out loud.
-"But anyway!"- Yaya changed the subject, -"So you think I should?"
"Well, let's see," Marinel smirked, unbuttoned her shirt just a bit then pounced on Yaya, "If you want, you can have me right now love."
Yaya was in a state of shock, not having expected this and her eyes were glued to Marinel's chest, -"I uh, Mari what are you doing?"-
She inched closer, "I don't know Yaya, maybe you would want a taste? Because I so want to taste you."- she replied seductively lowering ever so closer to her.
Yaya was almost melting as she felt her fingers glide gently on her face. But the more she was there the more Tsubomi began to come into her mind and finally, it took everything she had but she managed to push Marinel away.
Yaya lightly panted.
Marinel only gave off a smirk, "Well there ya go love."
-"Huh?"-
"That should answer your question, you want her not me. So no more thinking if you should go for it or not, just do it love." she smiled and took a seat across from her.
"That was... an unusual way to put it."
"Perhaps, but I enjoyed it." she giggled, shortly after Yaya politely excused herself and left her room
"Well now to get ready and I know just where to go!" Marinel quickly rushed into her closet and pulled out leather pants, a black sleeveless and arm length gloves. After neatly fixing her hair she stepped out of her room and left to go get the girls.
Marinel was able to bring the girls to the city one at a time using her super speed, though it left the girls disoriented but on the bright side they had more time to spare now since they didn't drive.
"Ah here we are," Marinel looked ahead to the city lights.
-"G-give me a moment."- Shizuma was hunched over, feeling nauseous, -"Yeah..."- Momomi too was feeling a little out of it, Tamao was just sitting on the floor with her head buried in her arms.
"Guess I should've warned you all 'bout that." She rubbed her neck, "It's always rough the first time."
-"I've got to admit though, that was really amazing."- Momomi finally stood up straight, taking in slow, deep breaths.
"Tamao, how you feeling love?" Marinel knelt down next to her.
-"A little better."-
Marinel pulled her to her feet, "Well come on girls!"
They all began to follow her, passing building after building but it didn't take long till one more building began to come up and it seemed like a normal place. They entered it, pretty ordinary place, almost like an antique store however, Marinel pushed aside a shelf revealing a staircase leading down and the girls walked down the steps.
-"What is this place?"-
"Honestly, I just found about this place myself. pretty sweet huh!" Marinel made it to the strong steel door and banged on it.
The door opened up and they were greeted by a large man who was no doubt the bouncer and allowed them in. The music was electrifying, the bass was pounding and making almost everything shake.
"Come on girls!" She pulled all three of them with her and began to dance, Shizuma and Momomi however gave each other the most hateful glares. They subtly began to shove each other to be in front of Marinel.
"Hey Tamao! Come on!" She pulled her to them and she nervously began to dance.
-"So why the hell did you bring us all here!"- Momomi asked through the loud music.
"Well, no reason love," she said, "Actually I was hopin you two girls would make up, you're always fighting!"
-"Pfft, as if I would ever make up with her."- Momomi looked up at Shizuma, -"Same here!"- Shizuma followed up.
"That's a shame, cause that's making me really sad." Marinel frowned as she slowly turned around. Shizuma and Momomi sighed, looked at each other and extended their hands which they gripped and tightened as they glared angrily at each other.
With that settled, to some extent, the girls began to dance together and have fun.
As Marinel turned around she saw Tamao with a defeated look and it tore her heart, "What's the matter love?"
Tamao looked at her then at Shizuma and Momomi, then gave a smile, -"Nothing is wrong Mari-chan!"
Marinel has been around long enough to know when someone was lying, "Something is bothering you isn't?" She looked at Shizuma and Momomi, "Ah I see," She turned back to her, "Tamao, you have nothing to worry 'bout sugar, I mostly brought them so they can make up... but it's not working out like I hoped, I mean look at them."
Shizuma and Momomi were trying to out-dance each other and shoving one another.
"If anything love, I brought you here to have a good time with me."
-"Really?"- Tamao looked at her.
"Of course, I don't know but when I'm with you—"
"Well look who it is! Evelyn Reeves!"
Marinel's eyes filled with rage, her lips curled and turned to face the person who called her that and the moment she saw him, grabbed him and slammed him into a wall cracking it, sending pieces of the wall and dust flying.
The man only laughed, "Whoa whoa chill out girl."
"Don't you ever! call me that!"
"You better watch that tone little girl, after all this is neutral ground for all vampires."
She let him go and backed away.
"I'm surprised to see you here, guess our standards must have dropped cause I didn't know they allowed half-blood filth in here." He said.
"You watch yourself!" Marinel clenched her fist, her once green eyes suddenly began to glow red.
"Ooo you think you can scare me little girl?"
"Yo Julius who is that?" Another girl walked over to him and saw Marinel, "Oooh," She laughed, "It's nothing but a so-called vampire."
Marinel turned to look at her friends and they were all watching this and Shizuma and Momomi were about to rush in but Marinel held up her hand to tell them to stay back.
"You want to talk outside, cause your only talking big because we're in here."
"And waste my time with a half-blood like you? HA, you're not even worth my time." The girl said, "You got some nerve to come here. This place doesn't welcome half-bloods like you!"
Marinel placed her hands on her hips, "Oh trust me, If I knew assholes like you would be in here then I wouldn't have come."
"What did you say!?" Julius stepped up to her.
"You heard me honey." she shoved him back, flinging him back to the wall she slammed him in.
"Hey! You better take that outside!" A large man stepped in between them, the bouncer no doubt.
"Don't worry, I was just leaving!" Marinel turned around and gestured to her friends to go.
"Say hi to your dead mother and father for me." Julius shot back.
Marinel stopped in her tracks, her fists clenched tightly and was going to do something stupid.
Before she could she felt a hand placed on her shoulder, she turned her head seeing Tamao and upon seeing her Marinel relaxed sightly, her once red eyes returned to their natural green and they all left the club, saving her from what would be a disaster.
The girls stepped outside and walked along the streets, Marinel was ahead of them for a while and she seemed broken over what they said.
Tamao was the first go up to her, -"Mari-chan, are you okay?"-
She turned her head, "I'm sorry, you girls were supposed to have a good time."
She shook her head, -"I'm worried about you Mari-chan,"- Momomi and Shizuma stood next to her, -"As are we."- they said.
They sat in the park, away from everyone and it was just them, -"Can I ask you something?"-
"Is it about my name."
Shizuma nodded.
"That's my first name."
-"I thought Marinel was your first name?"-
She shook her head, "No, It's my middle name but I was named after my mother, Evelyn."
"Why don't you like to be called that?"
Marinel leaned back, "You're going to think its strange, but there are a couple reasons," She looked at them waiting for her to continue, "It's because of me that my mother died, and I feel I dishonor her name, I don't deserve it."
Tamao placed her hand on hers, -"What the hell was wrong with those jerks, I mean you weren't hurting anyone! screw them!"- Momomi said as she looked back to the club.
"It's like this for people like me, everyone looks down on half-bloods. We're hated on, spit on, not considered real vampires to them. Hell, some actually murder half-bloods to rid the world of them."
-"Oh my god that's horrible!"- Shizuma knelt down in front of her, -"No kidding."- Momomi followed up as she leaned against Shizuma.
"I'm lucky they didn't want to do anything else to me. I never understood why they are so prejudice to us."
-"Are there more like you? Half-bloods?"-
Marinel sighed, "I honestly don't know, for I know I can be the last one."
There was silence between them, -"I'll always be here if you need me Mari-chan."-
Marinel smiled at her, "So anyway let's have some fun. there's gotta be another place we can go!"
-"Hell yeah lets do it!"- Momomi smirked.
-"Damn right!"- Shizuma followed up.
The girls then took off, to find whatever place they can go to have fun and spend the night away together but unknown to them however Marinel's plan was actually working, Shizuma and Momomi were slowly getting along even though they weren't aware of it. Perhaps caring about Marinel was a common thing the two girls shared, but it was enough to get it rolling, now she just had to see if would continue.
The sun slowly began to rise in the horizon, and Marinel managed to bring the girls back to their dorms quickly and safely. After giving Marinel a hug, Shizuma and Momomi retreated to their rooms.
-"Oyasumi Shizuma."- Momomi called out though she probably wasn't even aware she did.
-"Oyasumi Momomi."- She too called out and left, leaving Marinel alone in her room.
"Did you have fun Tamao?"
-"I had alot of fun Mari-chan!"- Her energy however then left her as she yawned.
"I did too." She smiled.
"What will you do now?"
"Hmm, probably stay in my room, read a book or something." She replied, "But I'll let you get some rest." She walked over to Tamao, leaned down a little and gave her a kiss on her cheek, "Good night sugar."
Tamao's face was red from that alone and as she was walking back she turned to her and said, "By the way Tamao, did I thank you?" Tamao thought about it, thank her for what? It must have been for calming Marinel down and keeping her from doing something dumb at the club.
-"No, you didn't."-
Marinel smirked, "I will." then left the room.
Tamao placed her hands on her chest, feeling her heart pounding and she began to spin around with a cheerful smile.
-"Oh my god Tamao-chan!"- Nagisa flipped the blankets off her to hug Tamao.
-"Nagisa-chan! You were awake?"-
She nodded, -"I saw and heard everything!"- Tamao blushed, -"I'm so happy for you Tamao-chan!"-
Marinel entered her room, she reached under her bed and pulled out a blood bag that she had stolen from a hospital. Tore the corner and guzzled one down just to calm her urge that was surely going to come through any second. However, she never felt the urge to even drink blood this whole time so she could only wonder what was going on there.
She rinsed her mouth and walked to her room but as she left the bathroom, she was rushed and pinned against the door. She felt lips all over her neck then eventually her lips.
"Shizuma?" Marinel got a closer look and saw it was her, "Well this is a surprise love." She moaned softly.
"I need you right now." she said and before long the two were once again locked in a steamy love making.
But the more they did this, the more Marinel felt odd about it and she couldn't quite put her finger on to what it was but she kept on going with it for the time being and wondered what the next day would bring.
