VAMPIRE ICE PRINCESS
Chapter 8
- INSIDE MEETAN'S CAR -
Oshima Yuko peek at her younger brother who is now enjoying playing with Meetan's cute little puppy at the back seat. However, little Mayu eventually caught her older sister looking at him in the front seat and surprisingly glared back at her.
'Ehh?' Oshima Yuko was taken aback.
"Geez, how could you forget about Mayu? It looks like you're going to hear some nonstop scolding from your mom when you get home." Meetan started.
"I-I guess…" She looked away.
"Oh by the way, since when did you join the band club?"
Oshima Yuko was a bit surprised and quickly turn her look at her cousin. "Huh? How do you know about that?"
"Well, my friend told me. She's there as a teacher at your school."
"What? Did you tell someone about me again?" The younger girl questioned.
"It's nothing much, i just thought that it'd be easier on you if there was someone at school on your side, and I just asked her to look after you. Plus, she understands us better than anyone else so don't worry~"
She sighed inwardly, "Whatever…"
Meetan just smiled to her answer, "Anyway, how is the band club? Are you friendly with the members?"
"I don't care. You have no idea how irritating they are."
Meetan chuckled lightly, "Why? What happened?"
"They printed out my photo and spread them around as flyers. They decided to make a band club without knowing how to play any instruments. And on top of that, a performance? What kind of performance are they thinking to start preparing for now, they're really hopeless. I don't understand how anyone could be so irresponsible, and they throw me into all this- something i don't even want to be in…..Anyway, it's irritating!" The younger girl exclaimed.
Her older cousin just smirked at her, "Hmm, you like those guys, huh?"
"What?" Oshima Yuko looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"Why would you stay in the band club if you didn't like it?"
"No, i told them i didn't want to! But they acted on their own!"
"You would have quit already if you really didn't want to~"
"……." She stared at her blankly.
'But how…..'"Don't be like that Yuko, you should try to be friends with those guys."
The younger girl shook her head, "N-No it's not like that."
"Aren't you lonely? Aren't you sick of being by yourself now?"
The younger girl looked down, "It's okay, I said i'm fine."
"You liar…"
"Ehh?"
"You just don't want to get hurt, right? Because you think you'll be betrayed again."
"S-Stop…stop it." She looked down on her lap, she made a grip as she started to feel mad, "Stop it now, Meetan."
"Be a little honest with yourself. You want to be like the other kids, right? Go see a movie, hang out with them."
The younger girl was shaking, she made a grip once again so she could stop herself from shaking, "I said stop. Why are you saying all this?!"
"How long are you going to keep fooling yourself? You're going to be alone forever if you keep doing that, are you sure you're okay with this? Are you happy about it?"
"Stop it already!! You don't know anything about me!!" Oshima Yuko surprisingly shouted at her older cousin, it made her older cousin to look at her and was surprised, including little Mayu at the back seat. They look at her as if it's a different Yuko reacting too much to a certain matter.
Meetan stepped on her break as the traffic light turned into red, she looked at her now mad younger cousin with a straight face, "I know how you feel….because i was a lot like you when i was younger. I see myself back then whenever i look at you. I had felt very lonely inside, but i pretended i was okay on the outside. It feels like i'm seeing my foolish self again back then, who made no memories."
Oshima Yuko looked at her in a great surprise. She couldn't believe her older cousin was really lonely before, she always knew her cousin were always be the happy-go-lucky one in their family.
Meetan let out a small laugh and looks at her, "Was that a little over-dramatic? But seriously, i really wanted you to know what i've been through, because i felt you would end up like me if you keep yourself away."
"……." The younger girl looked down again, she sighed. Her cousin exactly knows what she feels and now she doesn't want to talk more about it.
Meetan reach out her hand and poke the younger girl on her cheek, "You're upset 'cause i suddenly open up this topic, aren't you? But no matter what anyone says, it's your life to live." She stopped for a moment and held the younger girl's hand, "Now i'm sorry, i hope you will forgive me."
"Yuko, don't let yourself live in a lonely life, you should live with a smile. I know you can do well." Meetan said and gave the younger girl a genuine smile.

- OSHIMA'S HOUSE -
"Why are you so late?" Mrs. Oshima asked worriedly as she saw the two came into their house.
"S-Sorry, i forgot about Mayu." She apologized.
The little Mayu quickly ran towards her worried mother, panicking, "Mama~ Wee wee! I think it's going to come out now!"
"O-Oh okay." Mrs. Oshima looked down and carry the little Mayu along with her in the toilet.
Oshima Yuko let out a tired sigh and started to walk towards her room. As she walk inside her room, she didn't bother to turn on the lights and just put all of her things on her bed.
The whole conversation she had with her older cousin made her think so deeply. She was thinking about what she was before, about how she dealt with humans who hated them so much....thinking about why she changed herself, of what she is now. Alone.
'I don't think i can be the happy and energetic Yuko again like before.'----
2 days later…
- 7: 10 AM -
It was a cold morning. Oshima Yuko was sleeping peacefully on her bed, a soft white blanket was covered all of her body. She flinched and let out a soft groan when the light of the sun hits her face, she quickly covered her face and shifted to the side. She let out a relief sigh as she'll finally have a peaceful sleep back again.
Too bad for her, her peaceful sleep was interrupted again by a loud noise and laughs outside her room. She groaned annoyingly as she tried to cover her ears with a pillow.
'What's so funny early in the morning?!' She thought to herself and greeted her teeth in so much anger.
'Why do i always suffer in this house?!'"Yuko sweetie~ Time to get up! We have a visitor, and i'm sure you'll love meeting this person!" Mrs. Oshima called out with an excited tone of her voice.
'Oh God why. A visitor? It's too early in the morning for visitors, and who is this person they're talking about anyway?' Oshima Yuko thought to herself as she lazily get off from her bed, she yawned and arches her back. She went out from her room still wearing her white night wears and didn't bother to fix her messy hair. "What now.." She lazily spoke.
"Yuko! Good morning! It's me, your uncle!" A man surprisingly greeted the still sleepy petite girl who looks like she just came out from her dungeon.
Oshima Yuko was a bit surprised and looked at the man with her eyes widened, "U-Uncle?!"
"Yes it's me! Wow, you've grown into a beautiful lady now. How are you?"
"I'm f-fine… B-But why are you here all of a sudden, uncle?"
The man happily smiled at her, "Well, i didn't came here alone. I came here with the Prince."
'Prince?'"Prince? Who is that?" She asked confusedly.
The man reached out her hand and drags her along with him, "Come on, he's in the living room, waiting for you."
'Who is this Prince that he's talking about? What does he have to do with me?'"Uncle, why are you-"
"Prince, here we are." Her uncle suddenly cut her off and spoke to someone who's standing and looking at the window, facing away from them, "I want you to meet my niece, Oshima Yuko. Oshima family's elder daughter." Her uncle continued.
Oshima Yuko looked at her uncle next to her confusedly before looking at the unknown guy wearing a white long sleeve with a blonde-whitish medium silky straight hair. The unknown guy's hair appears to be a little messy, but it doesn't look really messy to her, it's somewhat sexy.
The unknown guy turned around to face the girl, while Oshima Yuko, somehow, felt nervous. She wondered why,
'Why am i feeling like this…'The tall guy finally faced the two with a smile, he waved and smiled at her. Oshima Yuko was astonished of how the guy looks, she wasn't expecting the guy would look like an angel, with his smooth pale skin and beautiful smile. It's like his smile could cure thousands of injured people, that anyone would easily fell in love with his beautiful face.
"Hello, Good morning." He greeted, "Sorry if we woke you up so early in the morning. Your uncle just can't wait for me to meet you, i sincerely apologize for the intrusion." He continued and he bowed in front of her.
"Oh don't mind that, Prince! It's fine, i'm sure she's really excited to meet you too!" Her Uncle excitedly said.
'What is going on….'"By the way, Yuko, he came from the royal family in Kanagawa, he's the elder son of the respected Matsui family." Her uncle spoke.
'M-Matsui? So he's the Prince of the great and well-known Vampire family in Kanagawa..'"Hello Yuko-san, my name is Ren Matsui. I am here today 'cause both our parents agreed on something and they both wanted to personally meet you so i came here today."
'
Agreed on something?'Her uncle gently patted her shoulder and faced her, "Oshima and Matsui Family both agreed that you two will be living together here in your house from now on, and this good looking guy over here is your…….FIANCE."
Oshima Yuko widened her eyes in shock and was taken aback to what she just heard, "EHHHHHHH?!?!?!?"
