"VAMPIRE ICE PRINCESS"
Chapter 5
- At Meetan's live Cafe -
"I can't believe you're here, Riku! I'm so happy! Really! Do you want anything before we-"
"No, i don't need anything, just tell me what you wanted to say and i'll leave." Kojima Riku interrupted, not looking at the woman who were excited to see him. "Please tell me right away, i don't wanna waste my time here."
"Oh r-right, well we….we made a band club this year and i was wondering if you want to join?We need a person that could teach the other members with the instruments and stuff." The woman excitedly said.
"Your offer is pretty bad, why should i join in that club?"
"You've always liked to deal with instruments, try doing this again."
He looked away. "No."
"Why?"
"Because i don't want to."
"Don't you like music?"
"I do."
"Then why you don't want to?"
"Well, if i had to pick the top reason why i don't want to join is…..because you told me to."
The woman was surprise of what he just said. "It's because of me, Riku?"
"Hmm." He nodded expressionlessly, didn't care of what the woman just reacted to his answer.
"How long are you going to act like this, Riku? Don't you think it's time for you to stop? I said i was sorry, why are you acting like a child?"
"Is that all you wanted to say? I need to go now." He said, totally ignoring the woman's words.
"I said i'm sorry, when are you going to forgive me?I'll kneel down for you to forgive me!" The woman was about kneel down in front of him but he stopped her. "Are you kidding me? Stop it! I can see you're just acting, all these years you didn't care about me and i totally forgot that i have a mother so forget it.." He stood up from the chair. "…Anyway, i said i'm not interested in your offer so better go find someone else." He started to walk away from the table, leaving the hurt woman behind.
Making his way to the exit door, suddenly a beautiful voice caught his attention, he stopped and turn to look at who is now singing on the stage, where all the lights are all pointed at the singer. "I want to be with you~ because i love you~♫"
There he saw the girl who just made his mind confused for a week. He was a bit surprised but he didn't make any reactions as he just look at her singing, amazed by her beauty and angelic voice.
Smile forming from his lips as he keeps listening to her angelic voice….
-
"That kid is your cousin, right manager Meetan?She sounds really good!" One of the bartender asked her manager who is now drinking a glass of wine.
"I know right? She was wasting all that talent sitting around at home so i begged her to come here and perform."
"Ahh~ it's amazing 'cause she can also play the guitar."
"Yeah but i'm not too happy with it."
"Ehh? why?"
"Because i forced her to perform here, even though she doesn't want to , i know she forced herself to come here just for me. She's a very lonely kid."
"Oh i see~" The bartender nodded.
"SNIFF* SNIFF*" Meetan sniffed as she smells something strange around her. She looked around.
'Where is this delicious scent coming from.' She wondered.
There she saw a guy standing in front of the stage, looking at her cousin who is still singing on the stage. She can see this guy was also amazed by her cousin's hidden talent.
"That guy…"
---
"Whew~" Oshima Yuko sighed as she sat down on a chair in the veranda together with her cousin Meetan.
"Well done, i'm amazed again with your talent. Here, freshly killed warm blood. Try it." Meetan handed a glass with a pig's blood.
"Ah thanks."
"Did something happened?"
"No, nothing, it's fine."
"What is it? Tell me."
She sighed. She know she can't hide anything from her cousin. "I'm just a little frustrated."
"Why?"
"Mom and dad have no intention of staying one place. I'm tired of it."
"There's nothing you can do about it, Yuko. I'm living alone but you guys have many members in your family, so you never know what will happen."
"But i hate it now, i can't help it. Why do i have to keep living like this…I'm really tired."
But before Meetan could answer her cousin, there were two people came in to see her older cousin. "Wow Meetan, she's cute, who is she?" A man said as she saw Oshima Yuko sitting down on the chair.
"Don't even think about it, she's my cousin."
"Oh, if she's your cousin, she's a vampire as well?"
Oshima Yuko was surprised, how come these people know about them, "Yes she is~" Meetan answered.
"M-Meetan!"
"Huh? Oh ahh.. go ahead first guys, i'll just follow."
"Okay, we'll wait for you!" They waved at them before they went inside the coffee shop.
"Meetan, how come they know about us?"She asked nervously.
"Well, i guess i was just tired acting like a human and saying things i didn't mean all the time, then i told them what i really am."
"And they're fine with it? Knowing that they have a vampire friend?"
"Well, at first, they were taken aback, but i'm glad they accept me as me and they continued staying by my side. I was really glad. So you, Oshima Yuko, instead of moping around alone, make some friends for yourself, friends that will definitely understand you."
She shook her head. "N-No i'm fine with it."
She looked down.
'It's a lie. I'm sure they hate you secretly.'--
The next day, lunch break…
Oshima Yuko was looking down to her lunch box, she was hesitating if she have to act like eating the food in front of everybody again.
'Maybe, i should drink the blood juice now, i don't have to eat this human food again.'She went out from their room, heading to the toilet where she usually drinks blood secretly, but two female students caught her attention as they both walking towards her direction. 'Atsuko, Mariko..'
"Ah!! Yuko!" The two were both surprised as they both saw the girl that they were talking about earlier before their lunch break.
"A-Are you done taking your lunch, Y-Yuko?" Atsuko maeda asked, obviously acting nervous in front of her.
'What's going on?'"Yeah i was about to... what's that?" She asked, as she notice the girls were carrying some papers on their hands.
"A-Ah n-nothing! Were just having a….i mean we're still filling up the members that wanted to join in our club with these flyers."
"Ah, do……do you want me to help y-"
"NO!!" She was suddenly cut by Atsuko, "Just stay there! We'll do this work by ourselves! Don't worry! See you later Yuko!" The two waved at her and hurriedly run away from the girl who is now left confused.
'What are those two up to?'--
After taking up her food for today, she went outside to drink some water in the drinking water fountain outside the building.
'Ahh~ I'm now full~'Heading back to the building where her room is, she stopped at the middle of the boys looking at her curiously, whispering something about her. "There she is, Oshima Yuko."
'Huh?'"Wow she must also know how to play guitar, that's interesting."
"Ohh! Maybe i'll join as well?" The boys continued whispering about her, she was wondering why they're talking about her right now.
'What are they talking about?'She continued walking, planning to just ignore them and leave. She stopped walking as a piece of flyer landed on the ground in front of her, she was curious and quickly picked it up. There she saw her picture inviting all the students in their school to join the band club and she will be the private tutor for the all members that will join. Reading all the information that has been written on the flyer, she was surprised and embarrassed at the same time. Now she knows who made this stuff as she remember those two girls carrying the same flyers earlier inside the building.
She was shaking, feeling really embarrassed and mad at the same time.
'T….Those girls, really!'--
"Hey Acchan, will Oshima Yuko be really giving a private lesson?" The guy asked excitedly as he still keeps looking at Yuko's picture in the flyer.
"Yes, of course! We're going to have a meet-up later so……" She wasn't able to finish what she's going to say as she saw the girl standing behind the guy, looking so mad and her black aura around her is also visible.
"Hey you guys!" The girl called, looking frustrated.
"Oh no!" Acchan gasped, she can see the girl is really mad right now of what they've done using her name just to have a lot of members on their club.
Acchan grabbed Mariko's hand, "Mariko, we're caught! Run for it!"
The two dashed somewhere they could hide themselves from the girl who is now like a beast, wanting to haunt them both down.
'I WON'T LET YOU GO!!'--
Riku was heading to their room after a short lunch break, "Kyaaaaa!! Move move! MOVE AWAY!" He looked up and saw the two girls running away from someone.
He stepped aside, "Geez, what's the rush?"
"You two! Stop right there!!" He heard someone shouted after the two, he turn to check who it was. There she saw Oshima Yuko, looking so upset. She was carrying a trash bin, ready to throw at someone. "I said wait!!"
"Just wait until i get a hold of you two!!" He was surprised of this girl's side, he never seen this girl getting so mad before.
'What is her problem?'He looked down when the flyer landed on his feet,
'What's this?' , he picked it up and read.
'Oshima Yuko, band club?'--
At the Gymnasium…
The two girls panted as they finally found the place to hide, "She won't find us here, right?"
"I told you she'd get mad at us." The short brown haired girl said as she wipe her sweat on her head.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it now, let's apologize when she calms down a bit." She paused. "….but isn't Oshima Yuko really scary when she's mad?"
"I know, i was really surprised."
But before the two could talk more, Oshima Yuko was already standing behind them, "Found you." She said calmly.
The two was surprised. "Ehhh!!" They gasped.
"Woah! Amazing! How'd you find us?! Do you have a super powers to locate all the people you want to find?!"
"It's because i can smell your……i mean No! that's not important here now! What's with those flyers? Why did you make those things on your own without saying anything to me first?!"
"Well, listen Yuko, we were kind of in a hurry and y-you're kinda popular here in school so we thought…..you know, we could get more members." Acchan explained.
"You said it was a trial membership, right? If you guys are going to be like this, i'm quitting. I won't join."
"Woah woah calm down a bit, do you know how many freshman guys decided to join after hearing you were a member? What are you going to do about those guys? Are you going to make us liars?"
"You are liars.." She answered sternly.
"Come on, enough with that, i was just proud to have you on the band club and all! And aren't you happy that many people liked you? This is unbelievable!" Acchan said excitedly, smiling at her.
'What are they talking about…..'"Come on! Sorry of what've done! We'll never do it again!" Acchan begged, holding Yuko's hand.
"Yeah Yuko, don't be a heartless!"
'Heartless?'She looked away from the two, "Whatever, if you do something like that again, i'll quit for real."
"Yay! So you're not mad at us anymore?"
Before Yuko could answer her question, the school bell suddenly rings. "RIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNGGGGG~"
"Yay, Yuko! Let's go!"
"Where?"
Acchan and Mariko grabbed Yuko's both hands. "What do you mean where? it's time for after-school activities! Let's run!" They smiled at her as they drag the girl with them, heading to their respective clubs.
--
"Wow look at that!" Acchan and Mariko, including Yuko were surprised seeing a lot of boys getting inside the band club house.
"Look Mariko! I told you so!"
"Well done, Acchan!" The two gave a high five with each other. "I'm sure Mrs. Masukawa will be really happy!"
"Yeah, so let's introduce ourselves to them now!"
"Yeah, let's go!"
'Am i doing the right thing?' She sighed.
"Hello! Good afternoon everyone! Welcome to the Band Club! But before anything else, let me introduce ourselves first. My name is Atsuko Maeda, i'm the president and this is my best friend Shinoda Mariko, the vice president, and the new girl in the house! our very own sweet girl, Oshima Yuko!" Acchan introduced themselves pleasantly.
The three of them bowed in front of the new comers in the club. "So would you introduce yourselves first before we discuss further about this band club? We want to know your names!" Acchan said and smiled.
There were three guys who stepped forward first, ready to introduce themselves to them. "Oh hi, i'm Minegeshi Kuu. Sophomore student."
"I'm Takahashi Kai, i'm also a sophomore student. Nice to meet you all."
"Miyazawa Sae! At your service!" The three boys bowed.
"We're glad to meet you all boys, now before we-"
"Hey wait." They were cut off by someone who just stepped inside the club. Looking cool and calm. "I wanna join this club."
They were all taken aback and surprised after seeing this guy who have just enter their very own club.
"Ehh?! R-RIKU?!"
'It's him….why is he…. What is he doing here?'TO BE CONTINUED.......
