Blood Curse
4th night: Your curse“Nee, Can I go out?”
“No.”
“Eehh… Why? It’s so boring to stay here~”
“Are you saying that I’m boring?”
“Eh? Ah… no… Cause I really, really want to go out… maybe a while?”
Haruna pleaded Yuko with a sweet smile. Yuko was drinking her tea (red tea) gracefully and read a magazine while Haruna was busing pleading her to go out. Yuko shook her head vigorously, making Haruna pouted as she gave up on Yuko’s stubbornness.
“Tadaima…” Takamina greeted Yuko and Haruna when she saw them in the garden. Her face was not energetic as usual, and both of them could feel the gloomy aura of the captain. Takamina slumped on the chair and sighed. The servant served the tea and she muttered a soft ‘thank you’.
“Ohoho, Takamina nee-sama, what’s wrong? Rejected by Atsuko?” Yuko teased with a sly grin on her face.
“Shut up.”
Takamina lied down on the table, looking sideways.
“Gekikara on rampaged again, Yuko.” She said with a flat tone.
“Hah… No wonder I heard that Rank E vampires are increasing these days… Tch. That kid sure need to learn how to finish its meal…” Yuko complain loudly. Haruna flinched as she heard there were vampires roaming freely on the streets. She gulped.
“And… I saw Acchan was out in the worst timing.”
“What did you saw?”
“She was holding a dagger, and she stabbed Geki.” Takamina sat up, cleared her throat and drank her tea.
“Vampire hunter?”
“Nah, I’m sure she is not. Such a kind girl…” Takamina frosted. Maybe Yuko was right. Maybe Atsuko was a vampire hunter but she did not want to say it. Maybe she already knew Takamina’s identity… No wonder she was not shocked when Takamina confessed that she was a pureblood.
“Did something click in your mind? You looked quiet and-… Hey, Nyan-nyan. Come back here!” Yuko shouted as she saw Haruna trying to escape from her. She called her, but Haruna ignored, kept on running until she reached the front gate. Checking there were no sign of Yuko or Takamina, she slipped out of the mansion and ran towards the dark.
“Heh… finally…”
Haruna bumped on a hard figure and she fell down. Her butt kissed the ground, as she moaned in pain. She tilted her head, wanted to know who the one who bumped on her was. She looked, gasped at the sight as she saw a young beautiful girl was staring at her. Haruna was mesmerized at this girl. The girl stretched out her hand, helping Haruna to stand.
“You should look your way when you’re walking.” The girl said.
Haruna thanked girl, but when she wanted to leave, she was called by a familiar voice. She sighed, turned around and gave up as she saw Yuko was already in front of her. The girl smiled, noticing how Yuko treated Haruna like a mother who was teaching her child to be good. Haruna looked down, and pouted cutely as Yuko was teaching her a lesson.
The girl cleared her throat; to make them realized that she was here. “Hey, um. Hello?” She smiled awkwardly.
“Oh hey, Jurina.” Yuko greeted her in a manner. She pulled Haruna beside her and pushed her head to bow. “Ah. Itai!! Yuko-sama!” Haruna complained.
“So, who’s this? I just went out for few weeks and there’s a newcomer?”
“Un. Her name is Haruna.”
“Haruna? Nice name. Haruna, can you come here?” Saying, Jurina cupped Haruna’s cheek and started sniffling. The tall girl was taken aback by Jurina’s gestures and heat rose up her body.
“Hmm, Rank B. Thought that you brought a human back for celebrating my homecoming, nee-sama.” Jurina smirked and let go Haruna. The midget carried Haruna and made a sign, signaling her to go to the garden to meet Takamina. Jurina nodded, and in a moment, she vanished. Yuko brought the almost-fainted
Haruna back to the garden, and she was going to ensure that this girl was not going to escape again.
When they reached the garden, Jurina was already there, talking to Takamina where she was reading and nodding at the same time.
“Geki missed you, y’know.” Takamina put down her magazine and talked.
“Yeah, I know. I was only out for a few weeks…”
“… Where did you go actually?” Yuko interrupted.
“Wondering in towns, travelled around villages…” Jurina smiled.
“Back to the topic, Jurina. Now that you’re home, I want you to control Gekikara.” Takamina took a sip of her tea. Realizing that it was finish, she handed to the servant and asked for more.
“Why?”
“She’s on rampaged again, Jurina. Maybe she missed you too much…” Yuko gripped Haruna’s wrist tightly, noticing that she was going to escape once more. She sent a deadly glare to her, earning a moan and a very cute pout.
“Ahh… I will. No wondered there are so much Rank E vampires on the streets when I was on my way back home. Okay, I’ll do something.”
Jurina vanished after replying. Meanwhile, Takamina stirred her tea and thought of Atsuko.
“Vampires and humans are not mend to be together, Takamina.”
The words still ringing loudly and clearly in her mind. She was clueless; If Atsuko hated her, or maybe not so fond in her, then she should speak out long time ago. But why…now only that she say it? Why?
Takamina rubbed her temple. She should ask the reason why Atsuko treated her this way today. Just only today, she treated Takamina like a stranger. Why only today, but not other times? Takamina was very confused.
“Humans are so complicated.” She mocked, chuckled herself.
xxxxx
An eerie laughing was heard when Jurina passed by a foggy streets. The street lights were dim, and she barely seen her way. Two red orbs glimmered and she narrowed her eyes, seeing a faint figure from afar. Jurina dashed, and hugged it before it made its move.
The laughed stopped, replaced by a soft sobbing. Jurina could felt that droplets of tears dripping down, as she snuggled deeply in her embrace. The figure trembled, unable to utter a word. Slowly, both of her hand which covered in blood responded Jurina’s hug.
“Tadaima, Rena.” Jurina muttered softly.
“Okaeri, Jurina-chan.”
