Chapter 4: Living with Vampires<\b>


“So because you’ll be staying with us for a while, Reiji has decided we need to be more informed about you. For starters, how old are you? When‘s your birthday? Blood type?” Yui asked me in the kitchen one evening. It’s been a week since my arrival and it’d already proven to be interesting.

“I’m seventeen. Born June 16th. Blood type AB.”

The last few days had been a roller coaster of emotions for me as the brothers took it upon themselves to trap me around every corner. This very evening, Subaru had smashed a whole table in the game room, which had woke me up from sleep. When I went over to see what happened, apparently Reiji had said something inappropriate about his mother, and sent him on a flying rampage. At my arrival to the scene, Subaru threw a vase towards me. The glass shattered on impact, only grazing my shin. I wouldn’t have noticed it if Subaru didn’t zero in on my wound with wide eyes.

“That scent again…it’s too strong to ignore,” he muttered before suddenly making an appearance in front of me, kneeling down at my feet. He moves so his hand catches the now drizzling blood that oozes out of the cut.

“I know it’s sour at first but…it turns sweet as honey after I swallow. What are you…”he trails off as grabbed my leg and practically pulls me off my feet as he inhales the scent. Feeling very uncomfortable, I swiftly pulled my leg away from his grip and retorted, “Don’t just touch me as you please.”

At this, he grinned and said, “You think you can defy me? Don’t act all high and mighty, you stupid girl.”

I gulped at his deadened expression when he pressed me against the closed door and bared his fangs.

“You test me and you die. You got that?” he growled before dropping me and disappearing out of the room in a huff. I think I must have offended him.

I giggled at the thought as I tuned back into the present. Though these vampires all had a reason to be feared, I couldn’t help but feel like they were all just children trapped in teenage bodies. My thoughts fell back to what happened with Laito when I first got here. I hadn’t run into him much since then but I couldn’t help but be a little tense whenever I saw him. He was an enigma. I couldn’t read his intentions. But whatever they were, he was intent on them being a secret.

“Yui,” I addressed her, “I could use some new clothes. I didn’t come here with much and I’d like to go shopping. Would you like to come with me?”

Yui looked surprised as she answered, “Yeah, of course! I’m so happy you asked. I’ve been needing to get out for a while. Let me just let Ayato know…”

“Do you have to tell him wherever you go?” I inquired, curious to why she always followed him so obediently. She made a hard expression and she answered reluctantly, “Well, I kind of wonder myself…but I chose him to be the one to drink my blood. He’s rough, selfish, possessive, and he calls me names. But underneath that, he’s actually somewhat kind. He’s…been through a lot in the past, and that makes him who he is today.”

I nodded, somewhat understanding what she meant. My own past wasn’t all too clear right now but I felt like I could honestly relate. I have scars all over my body, and I can’t remember what or who inflicted them. It gave me a sickly feeling whenever I thought about it. Maybe it has to do with why I’m here now…

“Ah Yui, what do you think of this gray skirt?” I asked while holding up a cute gray frilly mini skirt. I’ve always loved gray and black clothes. It seemed to neutralize the bright color of my hair.

“Wow, that’s really cute. You should try it on with those other things you picked,” she suggested. I smiled to myself and went into the fitting room to try on the clothes I’d picked. As I eyed myself over in the mirror,

I felt a feeling of satisfaction wash over me. I wore a quarter sleeve black crewneck with the frilly gray skirt, adorned with black and white striped tights, a maroon scarf, and black ankle boots. When I went out to show Yui, it took only a moment to realize she wasn’t alone.

Before her, I saw a navy colored fedora. His back was to me and he was facing Yui. Her eyes were wide with confusion and I felt my heart freeze up. What was he doing here? And everything was going so well for me…

Just as I stepped out, he turned around, his expression ecstatic as he enthused, “Ah Jadey-chan, I came specifically to see you!”

He moved towards me swiftly before he noticed my outfit and eyed me up and down. He grinned seductively as he cocked his head and said, “You must’ve wanted to look good the next time you saw me. Fufu. Well, you devilish little thing, you succeeded.”

“Laito, I’m here with Yui. What do you want? Did you just come here to ruin my day?” I grunted irritably. I was having a nice time and since our last meeting, I hadn’t felt at good terms with him.

He faked being offended and exclaimed, “I don’t know what you mean, Jadey-chan. I was simply on my way to my favorite reading place when I saw fragile little Bitch-chan all by herself. For a moment I thought maybe she was with Ayato, but lucky me she was with you.”

“Yeah, lucky you,” I scowled before going back to change in the fitting. Laito began to follow behind before I turned around and shoved him away and said, “Sit boy!”

He giggled giddily in reply and rebuttled kind of half-heartedly, “Those kinds of phrases…aren’t going to work.”

“You don’t sound real convinced,” I commented with a smirk. Two can play at his game. He shook his head and chuckled, “Whatever, little devil. You keep playing the tough girl act. I can wait. It won’t be long before you’re crying and begging me not to hurt you. Just like the other night.”

With a wink, he drifted off out of the store. Inside the fitting room, my heart raced indefinitely. Why do I get like this when he’s around? I don’t know how to deal with people like him. He makes my chest hurt.
