"So what are your intentions towards my brother and my man? State them clearly." I don't think she has any intentions Akiha! Miyako is a pure innocent girl! It's more like I have intentions towards her.
Speaking of her, she looks down, tears at the corner of her eyes. "Big Bro help..." She mutters, alas it's useless. That's because Shiki is on the phone right now, speaking with the Arimas... It goes without saying that Miyako will probably receive the scolding of a lifetime.
Her nerves are also not helped by the fact that her staunch guardian, Cat, has left. She didn't stay with us, she was only momentarily helping after all... Still, I have a feeling I will meet her again.
Arcuied giggles, because of course she's here too. "Wow, you're sure are something. Do you feel better, glaring at a young girl like that?" Please don't make this situation worse! Though it's true that maybe Akiha should control her temper right now.
Still with that her glare shifts from Miyako to Arcueid. "Be careful with what you say, bat." Right, Akiha definitely knows who she is... Please show some more respect then! She's an alien princess you know!?
I finally interject. "Akiha, Miyako doesn't have any intentions towards me or Shiki. She just missed her big brother..." Miyako quickly nods, and Akiha's glare gets even worse. For some reason I feel like her temper is worse than usual.
Now how to salvage this...? I have an idea. I pat Miyako's head. "So now it's your duty as Miyako's big sis to comfort her. Don't you think so Akiha?" Maybe I can turn her into a sis-con? I feel like that's my only hope.
Akiha predictably blushes. "B-big sis...? I... I am the big sis here?" Yeah, this demon heiress definitely has some Arcueid instincts in her. Though with how cute Miyako is, it doesn't surprise me at all.
Arcueid backs me, perhaps feeling a newfound sense of kinship. "Well, if she's Shiki's little sis, then she's your lil's sis too! Right!?" Not really, but I sure want to convince her of that.
Miyako sees her route of escape, and nods. "Y-yeah! I used to think you were a witch!" Those are obviously not the right words, as Akiha's blush disappears. "B-but it turns out you were a princess!" And then the blush reappears.
Good for Miyako, the person who will kill her won't be Akiha. It will probably her mother or Shiki instead. My bro was glaring at her too after all, a natural reaction to finding out your younger sibling was up for mischief.
Akiha nods while panting, presumably because she's a hopeless pervert. "Y-yes! I'm a princess indeed! It appears my little sister has a good eye..." Then she shakes her head. "But enough about her, in the end what happens to Miyako is up to the Arimas." That's true I suppose.
Miyako's lip is trembling. "Save me big bro..." Now you're repeating lines!? Sorry, but it's too late for you. Next time think before you act... Actually I definitely can't talk about it, I'm just as impulsive as you after all.
Akiha ignores Miyako and glares at Arcueid. "So would you like to explain why you were in a love hotel with my man? You better have a good reason, if you wish to leave with your life that is." If you know who she is, then please don't threaten her!
The vampire giggles. "Well, as you know my name is Arcueid Brunestud! I'm sure only Miyako here doesn't recognize that name." Akiha nods while the young martial artist just looks completely confused. It turns out Miyako doesn't know anything about the supernatural world.
Arcueid continues. "Yuta here is my boyfriend." Akiha grits her teeth, her eye twitching. "And we were in a love hotel to have sex! It was going to be our first time, so I was really looking forward to it." I was too damn it!
Miyako is blushing scarlet red. "W-wow, she can just say that stuff without any hesitation at all...?" That's Arcueid for you, she doesn't even fear Akiha's wrath. Though I guess she's way stronger than her anyways.
The room suddenly feels hotter, it's like it suddenly became a hot summer's day and the air has dried up. It's happens so quickly that I almost become dizzy, my body being weirded out by the quick change in temperature.
For a second I see a ghost resembling Sensei, but it's not her, it's Akiha. For some reason her hair has suddenly become bright red, it's tips almost levitating in the air... It reminds me of Kushina Uzumaki.
She's glaring at Arcueid with the strength of a thousands suns. "You and me... We're going to fight now. I'll rip you limb from limb, until you can't regenerate anymore." Stop trash talking someone way stronger than you! Before you job and people start calling you Fraudkiha!
Arcueid responds to that with a smile. "Someone sure is arrogant! Okay then, come here and test your luck! Since your Shiki's little sister I'll play nicely with you! Like I did with Ciel!" That's playing nice!? Don't throw her into space.
From the corner of my eye I see a terrified Miyako, so I raise a hand. "Hey Akiha, your little sister is still here you know?" How are you going to explain the red hair to her!? I can only assume it's due to your demon heritage...
Akiha's hair immediately goes back to normal, what now become red is her face, and then the temperature returns to normal. "Ah! Sorry, I just haven't been feeling well lately!" What does that have to do with your hair!? I doubt Miyako will just accept this.
The young girl frowns. "I see... Damn witch techniques..." She grumbles at then end, but then her voice goes back to normal. "So what was that wi- Big Sis?" Get used to calling her that quickly, before she realizes your true feelings.
Akiha looks around, her eyes looking for any excuse she can find. "It's a... martial art technique! Yes, a very advanced one!" I doubt she will buy that too! Do you even pratice martial arts!?
Miyako quickly nods, buying it, because she's an idiot. "I see! That was very cool!" Don't just say it was very cool! Please don't act like a small Son Goku, or else soon enough you will become the even dumber Super Goku!
Arcued looks at her finger nails, a smug look on her face. "Oh? So the fun ended before it even started... Lame~!" Don't throw more fuel into the fire!
I give the stupid vampire a chop on the head, before she can say anything else. "Stop trying to pick a fight." Then I look at Akiha. "By the way, did Shiki tell you about Ca- Ryougi?" I need to make sure Akiha knows about the demon hunter staying in her city.
Akiha nods. "Yes, don't worry, the Ryougi's are pretty much retired... Honestly I'm mostly worried about Touko." Right the other name she mentioned, I told Shiki about it as well of course.
Akiha crosses her arms. "Tell me Yuta, is your Sensei still in town?" Sensei huh? We haven't talked to each other for a while, so I can't be sure... I have a good guess that she is though.
I nod. "Probably. She has a contract she needs to fulfill." In the end Roa is her target too, which means she won't leave until he is dead. Which is a good thing, I need time to convince Sensei that letting me stick my dick in her ass is a good idea.
Akiha nods back. "Very well, then she will handle the situation more or less." Sensei can't handle anything though. "Oh, and by the way Yuta, one more thing... If you ever meet this Touko, do not call her Red, no matter what."
I immediately give her a thumbs up. "Got it! If you're saying it then I will obey it!" And speaking of Akiha. "By the way, are okay? You look a little... tired." It's something I have been noticing ever since I got here.
Akiha is snapping at people even more easily, she even used a bit of her demon powers. The only other time she has ever used that was when she was drugged, so it certainly makes me worried.
Akiha blushes. "So y-you noticed huh? G-good." Oh!? Did I just gain points!? "Don't worry, I'm just stressed about some stuff... Like needing to hire new staff, and speaking of that, how are they?"
I smile. "Hisui and Kohaku are fine, though I might need to get Hisui's plushie before I leave..." She asked me to do it after all, so it's my responsibility as her big br- as her friend! She's not my little sister after all.
Akiha now has a smug smile on. "She needs her plushie? Even after putting on that tough facade she's still the same... That's good, it makes me really happy." It's good to see that there are no bad feelings between you two.
But it did make me think of something. "By the way Akiha, do you want me to take you out of here too? We could burn this mansion, FMA style." I know this is a weird thing to say, but I do have a reason...
Akiha's eyes widen. "W-where did that come from? No, I don't believe I want my property burned to the ground..." I figured, but I might as well ask. I already decided to not overlook the potential suffering of others after all.
I awkwardly scratch my head. "Sorry, it's just that... You were a kid too, so I figured you might have needed some help." For all I know Akiha has received abuse as well, so there's no way I can just ignore that.
Akiha blushes. "I see, thank you for your concern Yuta..." Her eyes then gain a strange look. "But I do love my home, in fact the past holds many special memories to me. Even if I know bad things were happening beneath my vision, nostalgia is just too strong, you know?" I can certainly understand the sentiment...
Suddenly Miyako gets up. "Big bro!" She rushes towards Shiki, who has just entered the room and quickly envelops him into a hug. "Please protect me!" From whom!? Don't tell me you're abandoning Akiha's side that quickly!
Shiki sighs. "No. Bad Miyako." I can almost hear her heart cracking in a thousand pieces. "By the way, mom said you're grounded forever and ever." And then her heart cracks even more.
Shiki pushes his glasses up. "Honestly what were you thinking? Your lucky that the creep you found was already with his girlfriend, or Yuta might have dragged you into that love hotel..." I'm not that bad!
Arcueid pouts and crosses her arms. "He didn't even drag his girlfriend into the love hotel though..." I'm sorry! Please forgive me, I just got distracted by a side-quest!
Akiha glares at her. "And speaking of that... Break up with my man now! And never speak with him again!" Oh boy, here we go. I guess this conversation really was inevitable, Akiha has been waiting for this very moment after all. "And Yuta! Bring out your other girlfriend so I can end her dreams as well!"
Shiki's eyes widen. "I'm surprised we are just now getting to this part of the conversation... What happend to distract Akiha until now!?" Ah, so you're also surprised your sister hasn't killed anybody yet.
Miyako quickly recaps everything. "The wit- big sis forgave me, she did get into a quick fight, and then the mansion was almost burned." That isn't a recap at all! And Shiki agrees considering his very confused expression!
Arcueid puts her tongue out. "Nope! Not happening any time soon!" That's about right, I won't give up on my harem dream! Actually it might not even be a dream anymore considering the circumstances surrounding me.
Rika and Arcueid are very obviously my girlfriends, and Akiha has been calling me her man, which is surprisingly forward of a lady like her. Which means I have three girlfriends! Which means I have a harem! Mission completed! Now I'm just here to get the S-Rank.
Akiha's hair fleshes red for a moment, she really is getting angrier even easier than usual. "Damn bat..." She then looks at me. "Break up with her! And bring out the curse already!"
Oh boy, what do I say to that... "Akiha, you are way too beautiful. Everyday that I spend apart from you is a bad one." I will just distract her with overly romantic talk! Either she will blush or she will cringe, either way I win!
She does both, in a strange combination that I have never seen before. "I...! Whatever, I'll let it pass for today." She smiles. "Besides, you two didn't do anything in the end, the love hotel was a failure." Please don't remind me...
Shiki chuckles. "Akiha is right for once, I mean, have you two even kissed yet? It's like I'm watching histories slowest romcom." We are not moving that slowly! Seriously, give me a break.
Miyako suddenly has stars in her eyes. "Oh! I love Ranma!" Of course you do... With your martial arts fixation you would fit right in on that universe after all. So please watch out for funny curses.
I pout. "You guys need to shut up already. I'm a master of this, so let me take my time." Making a harem is delicate work! I mean can you imagine if we had actually banged!? Akiha would try to kill Arcueid for sure.
And speaking of the blond, suddenly she's in front of me. "I don't know what a romcom is, but I hate it!" And after saying that she pulls me in for a kiss... In front of everyone... In front of Akiha.
That thought takes time to enter my mind though, mostly because my brain is currently screaming about how I love Arcueid and her soft lips. That said, she's inexperienced, so I quickly take control, guiding the kiss without much trouble.
And then it ends, Arcueid separates from me, her face red and her eyes... There's a weird feeling coming from them. "Ah." She sounds happy and yet resigned for reasons I can't understand...
Then Akiha stomps the floor. "Death! Death! Death! Death! Death! Death! Death! "Die the death!" "Sentence to death!" "Great equalizer is the death!"" Why did you suddenly become such a dangerous character!? Also what's with the horrible engrish!?
Arcueid gives her a smug smile, immediately dooming my life. "I'm immortal though, I can't die." Well I'm not so please stop before this mansion really gets the FMA treatment!
Akiha's hair is completely red. "Let's test that theory!" The room is becoming hotter again, Arcueid has just undone all my hard work. Will my harem end right here and now!?
I need an escape, so I look at Shiki. "By the way, are we supposed to take Miyako home? We should take her home." I'm desperately trying to change the subject, hopefully I can do it before dying.
Akiha's glare shifts to me, I almost feel like I'm fighting Vlov and his heat attacks again. "Do not change the subject Yuta! I'm going to kill this unkillable harlot!" How though!? Please realize that won't accomplish anything, you have no enemies!
Thankfully Shiki ignores her. "Actually, mom asked if Miyako could stay a few days here. Apparently she's gotten worried Miyako isn't handling being alone well." That's... I feel like that is really irresponsible!
Miyako smiles. "Yay! It's my total victory!" She then kicks the air, she reaches surprisingly high too, which just goes to show she really is a martial artist. "I'm invincible!" I will prove you wrong one day... I managed to groom Rika afte- I didn't groom anybody!
Shiki smirks. "You're still grounded though, and it's up to me to decide what that entails." And with that Miyako's hopes die, she shouldn't be depressed though. Shiki is a softie after all.
Akiha's hair goes back to normal. "Well, I suppose it's fine... Yes, my little sister can stay here." She smiles to herself. "I can take her to school in the family limousine, and I can make Fushiguro protect her from the other house inhabitants." Don't say that like they're enemies!
Still, I'm glad Shiki salvaged the situation. Even as Arcueid tries to make it worse again. "Oh? You're givi-" Before she can say anything I give her another light chop in the head.
Shiki raises an eyebrow. "So does that mean he won't be following me around anymore?" Oh right, with Toji preoccupied with Miyako, Shiki is free to fuck around. Though Roa's hunting is being handled by actual adults, so it doesn't matter I guess...
Akiha nods. "I suppose so. Try to not make any trouble Big Brother." Shiki smiles at that and fist bumps the air, glad that he won't have to deal with that anymore.
As for Akiha, her gaze shifts to Miyako. "And as for you..." The little girl trembles. "You shall become worthy of being my little sister. You're already a martial artist, so I expect some discipline, but..."
She continues. "That won't be enough. Tomorrow you start your studies, and I will personally overlook them. By the end of the year, you will have learned four new languages and how to play the violin."
Amazing, Akiha has truly given the girl no place to escape... And speaking of escape... "Ah shit, I have to give my report to Rika when I come home." Hopefully she doesn't kill me! Or Arcueid!
...
"I'm killing Bimbocuied. By the way did you bring back the plushie Yuta?" My girlfriends anger is calm, which makes it even scarier than normal!
I nod. "I did bring it. Also please don't kill Arcueid." At least I get too see Hisui's happy blushing face, so the night hasn't ended in complete disaster.
My little sister smiles. "I love you big brother." Yay! Wait, we aren't siblings damn it!
AN: Wow! A kiss with Arcueid!? And it only took over a 100K words... Maybe I should start writing shounen jump romcoms? My pacing is definitely slow enough for it...
Also good girl Miyako here to give Akiha a happiness boost. Maybe her lolibillities can slow down the demon transformation.
