UNEXPECTED
Chapter 6: Expectation vs Reality
[/size][/b]
Takamina POV
Is Atsuko going to kill me?
She is getting closer to me slowly...
With that scary aura and cold eyes...
As she was a few centimetres away from me, she stopped with thunder boomed loudly again. I swallowed hard. A bit scared because my life will soon end. Yes, Atsuko is a vampire. She was the murderer of my parents too. I still couldn't believe it. It seems the feeling I felt when I first met her, which is she smiled to me but she sent chill down my spine, that was a sign that she is a killer at the same time blood-sucker creature. I recognize her as the girl who often flashed in my mind. That's why she looks familiar because I remember before I blacked out I saw someone squatting on my car left window. That time my car crashed, caused the right side fell to below, the left side on top. She covered the light. She smirked. She has a very strong power. Can you imagine a beautiful girl push your car with bare hands? She did that to us.
"Since you're the last generation of your family because you are not married yet, I give you one last request. It is rare to see such a kind vampire like me so you better not waste this chance." She spoke. Her gaze was sharp but smirk plastered on her face. Did she plan to do something to me? That smirk is evil.
"Kill yourself in front of me."
The rain little by little stop dropping. "That is not include as request," She chuckled. "You can only ask a request but no harming me."
Now I don't get any difficulty to swallow my saliva anymore. I exhaled my breath peacefully though my heart beating faster than normal caused by nervousness. She placed her hands on her hips, waiting for some words to come out of my mouth. Her scary aura and cold eyes disappeared. Unfortunately her face shows no expression. I walked toward her get near. As I feel our distance already close enough, I took her hand and pulled it up. To where my lips on. "Please dating with me, Atsuko."
I kissed the back of her hand tenderly. From the corner of my eye I could see her face shows surprising expression yet it nodded.
Normal POV
10 PM
Takamina and Atsuko can be seen walking home together. Since they started dating a few hours ago, Takamina played the role as a good and gentle girlfriend toward Atsuko. She walk her home to her house after they went to a cafe and spent time knowing each other better until late, despite she knew how dangerous it is. Her mansion was located deep in the forest. When Takamina saw it, she got goose bumps because the aura of the house is creepy. Outside it looks abandoned but inside it is not. It is strange...why there were some people or the correct were some vampires lying helplessly on the main hall of the mansion? They hissed in pain while holding their hurt part of body. There were also some broken things. Atsuko walked to one of the vampires. The vampire who got approached, got up with all his might then bowed. "Welcome home, Maeda-sama."
While Atsuko and the vampire talked about some things, Takamina wandering around the house. There is a door near stairs, she heard somebody's voices behind the door. She wanted to open it but hesitate. Apparently somebody inside the room are talking about surprising matter. Without she realized, she is eavesdropping their conversation. Shockingly a name she knows mentioned between their talks. She immediately backed and ran to Atsuko when she heard footsteps getting near to the door. Three persons came out of the room. Two of them she recognized as students in Akiba Academy. On the other hand, the foreign person who is standing between flashed a warm smile to her and Atsuko.
"You already got home my daughter? Oh you bring a guest here." She walked to Takamina and held her hand for a shake. "What's your name, my dear? I'm Shinoda Mariko, Atsuko's mother."
Takamina shook hands with her and told her name. She tilted her head to the right side a bit, looking for one person she recognizes. "Jurina, what are you doing here?"
Jurina pouted cutely. "Mariko is my auntie..." Before Jurina could continue her words, she was cut by Mariko's laughter. "Jurina came here to be a hunter~ she wanted to kill Rena but I stopped her midway and ordered her to forward the message I told. By the way, you know already that we are vampires except you two, right Takahashi-san?"
As a reply Takamina nodded. Actually she is quite confused of why and how Jurina's aunt is a vampire??? From the corner of Takamina's eyes can be seen Mariko is giggling silently. Takamina doesn't know what should be talked anymore so she decided to leave. Jurina went along with her. Takamina bid goodbye to them politely. On the way, they are busy with their own thoughts but Jurina is a person who hates silence so she spoke up. "Why did you come there? And how did you know there is a mansion there?"
Jurina's question slapped her hard. Does she have to tell the truth? Before she could say anything her phone ringing. The caller is Yuko. Takamina picked it up and asked what brings her to call her. She said four hunters must gather in Mayu's house tonight to talk about some important things. In the other line can be heard Mayu says come asap. Takamina hung the phone after she agreed. She told Jurina about it but she complained she wants to go home. No other option makes the midget glared then pull her along to Mayu's house. Lucky she seems forget about her question, Takamina thought. As they reached Mayu's house, Ikoma greeted them in the main door. Inside, Yuko was holding a microphone, Mayu did so though she does not look interested with what displayed on the flat screen TV and just sat on the sofa. The music player blasted a famous song by a female idol group. Yuko sang their song happily.
"We have arrived." Takamina waved her hand to Mayu.
"Okay make yourselves in home. Ikoma, make some drinks and snacks for them."
"Hai, ojou-sama."
While Yuko is busy with the song, these three only silent and hear she sings. The fact is she is pretty good at singing. Yuko realized she is having fun alone. "Hey! Why you guys keep quiet? Come on join me singing!"
"What is the important things we want to talk about?" Takamina impatiently folded her arms and asked.
"Well. Actually there is nothing to talk about..." She smiled awkwardly. "I just want us to become close each other. As we had known ourselves as four strongest hunters, I want bond between us get strong. This will help us work easily together."
All of them stay silent but their minds think of the words. Yuko continued. "Just a day I want us to try to live together. Why I pick Mayu's house as the place to do that? Because her house only lived by her and Ikoma so we can have fun without worry about parents at the same time make plans and discuss. Tonight we are all stay here. Don't worry about tomorrow because Ikoma had brought your uniforms and books for tomorrow. If this succeded we will live here continuously as it is an order from my father. Any question or opinion?" None of them replied just shook their heads. Yuko flashed a satisfied smile then bring the heat back. Jurina and Takamina joined her and sang various kinds of songs. In the end they danced together like the night is theirs. At first Mayu refused but Jurina pulled her to the floor. All of them laughed and enjoyed the night until late. After exhausted, they laid their bodies on the carpet. Slowly drifted to slumber.
=======================================================================
The next day
6 AM
On Yuko's way to her respective class, she met with her, Haruna. Out of sudden she became clumsy when Haruna's pair of eyes look at her. Quickly Yuko evades her gaze from hers and fastened her track. She kept repeating that Haruna hates her and they won't be friends forever since they are enemies.
School is still quiet. Perhaps only a few students had come, included Yuko and Haruna. This is the first time Yuko met Haruna in early morning. Well because today she woke up at 5 she decided to go to school early. Mayu, Jurina, and Takamina was still in their dreamlands that time.
"Wait, Yuko-chan!"
Haruna shouted from behind makes Yuko's body stiffened. Footsteps from Haruna's shoes were getting loud and in a blink of an eye, a hand landed on her shoulder. Caused her to jolt. Yuko doesn't want to turn back, her heartbeat increased and soon she was out of breath. Mixed feelings filling her heart and mind.
"Ano..." Haruna started. She lowered her head. It attracts Yuko to look at her. What happened with her? She looks gloomy. "What happened, Nyan nyan?"
"I don't hate you."
The cat-like face girl statement gave question mark above Yuko's head. "Wait. Why did you say that? I didn't even say or do anything." In her mind, Haruna suddenly said this not because she looked away. Makes no sense. It seems she can read her mind or she does can?
"Yes I can read minds."
"Eh seriously?! If so, my intuition was right. Wow that's cool. Does every vampire has this special ability?"
Haruna shook her head. "I'm sorry for yesterday, Yuko-chan. It's just..."
"I'm all ears Nyan nyan." Yuko showed an assured smile.
Haruna tells her problem and the reason why she acted cold toward people, didn't want anybody to be her seatmate, and yesterday she went away without a word as the incident happened. Her reason is because she is a young vampire who has difficulty to control her urge to drink blood. She also told the truth that...she can smell Yuko's blood scent very strong. She simply doesn't want to hurt people that's why she is avoiding them. Hearing that, Yuko knew Haruna is not a bad vampire. She is glad somehow. Wait why am I feel glad? She thought while bump her head with her palm. "So, Yuko-chan, you're the very first person I ever tell this. If I act cold that is my other personality to hold my urge...hm...ano...can I ask for a favor?"
"I see. What is it?"
Haruna fidgeting but in cute way. "Thinking is not my thing. Uhm...can you help me prevent myself from acting cold? I can't find any way because..every time I think I will not get it..."
Yuko burst into laugh after heard it. This cute cold pretty girl actually is innocent. Immediately she nodded and smiled so wide. Both of them know another now-revealed-again secret thus the misunderstanding between them is gone. They went to class together after that, hand in hand, smile plastered. Yuko once again felt glad because she is one step closer to Haruna.
=======================================================================
1 PM
"Wow that Kashiwagi Yuki had become popular since the last time we had Physical Education!"
"She is sure fast. No wonder athletic club chasing her eagerly."
Mayu was sitting on her seat queitly, plugging her earphone and listening to orchestra music in recess time is her habit. She wants to grab a novel on her school bag but there is something and turns out it was a piece of paper. The content is about Yuki wanted to talk to her, face to face and only two of them in rooftop. She even promised there won't be any fight, just simply want to talk. Mayu thinking of it for a while, rubbing her chin. Finally her mind produced an answer. She takes her phone and starts to message her hunter mates. After finished, she looked out of the window, looked at Yuki who was running in the field trying to get free from athletic club members. I won't fall into the same hole, Yuki. We know already that I hate you and you hate me so we can never talk."
8 PM
"Hey why are you two look down? Something interesting below?" Jurina asked worriedly. They are going to attack the mansion because Mayu ordered to do so. Those three are gathering in Jurina's house this time to pack some weapons including protection equipments. For an hour they are gathering, Takamina and Yuko didn't say anything at all. Of course the youngest among them felt worried because she already consider them as sisters.
Takamina stopped her activity and looked to Jurina. "....why you look so calm whereas you will attack your own aunt? Are you a cold-hearted person, Jurina?!" Takamina grabbed her collar fiercely. Yuko immediately try to separate them. It was quite hard but she could make it anyway.
"Jeeezzzz what kind of team is this?! If you can't control your anger it's no good, Takamina. Why are you being sensitive in sudden?" Yuko sighed. "Now tell me what do you want to tell so there is no more fight like this. I hate it."
Takamina exhaled breath and then cleared her throat. "First what I want to ask already asked. Second, where is Mayu? She ordered us to attack the mansion yet she doesn't show herself. Don't you think maybe her phone was hijacked? Third, I..."
"Say it out loud Takamina. Nobody will not bite or hurt you or your height decreased." Yuko grinned.
"The heck you even joke at this time." Takamina tried hard to prevent herself from laughing. For a few seconds she looked down again. "Okay, I can't do this..."
Silence spread around them but it doesn't happen long because Jurina gasped. Both of them looked at her, puzzled. Jurina smiled playfully and approached Takamina, circling her neck with one of her arm. "Ne, Yuko-chan do you want to know the reason why Takamina can't do this?"
Quickly Yuko nodded. "Yes tell me!"
Jurina took a glimpse to Takamina who is cursing herself. Once more Jurina smiled playfully. "Well, our midget is dating with the new president of student council~"
"WWHHAAAATTTT??!!!"
In other hand...
Akiba Academy
8 PM
Tonight the moon was shaped crescent. There is not much light shinning and if you go to school at this time maybe you will get scared. Of course it is an exception for Watanabe Mayu. She entered the school confidently, walked past the quiet and dark hall, climbed the creepy stairs. Nothing wrong happened. The last thing she have to do is open the door to the rooftop. She didn't do it right away but took out her phone from her hoodie pocket. She dialed someone's number and wait impatiently for the person to pick it up fast.
"Ikoma, where are you now?"
"I'm in the kitchen now, ojou-sama. Where are you now? Do I have to pick you up?"
"No you don't have too. Listen, don't worry about where I am now. I can protect myself well. Don't wait for me."
"Hai ojou-sama. If you need something just call me. Take care."
Mayu ended the call. The door opened afterward causing the wind to burst into Mayu's direction. Carefully she took the first step as she she saw Yuki across her, her back facing her, and she looked up the cloudy sky. Yuki was aware of Mayu's presence thus she turned around.
"Finally you come." Yuki approached her.
"Say to the point."
The wind blowed hard. Somehow the scene reminded Mayu about yesterday's event. The wound already healed though but a new memory that she hates come again. Another bad memory with her is killing her inside. She clenched her fists and tried her best to be calm. The taller girl seems arranging words. Successfully it makes Mayu lost her temper because she really hates waiting. "I take my leave now."
Before Mayu could turn back, Yuki shatched her arm. "Mayu, don't leave. It's hard to tell it because I'm afraid you won't believe me but what I want to tell is in all honesty."
"...."
Yuki looked deeply into Mayu's eyes. "I have my reason why I killed your parents.....First reason, I was demanded to do it by the head of vampires. Second reason, I never wanted to do it but I can't decline because he will kill me and kill your family including you more sadistically. Third reason, why I can't die yet because I have an important mission which is to make humans and vampires work together and not being enemy each other. The now head of vampires is evil, Mayu. My savior wants to get rid of him plus unite all the clans of vampire, she needs me for that. Currently there are two strongest clan, the name are based on the location where they stay. They are clan Akihabara and Nogizaka. Both of them can't stop fighting and want to be the strongest. If it's still happen, the chance for our goal to be possible is small. Why I tell you this? Because we need hunters' help to make it real. Please, Mayu tell this to your friends."
"Wow that sure a lot." Mayu laughed sarcastically. "I don't think I can help you and why should I. Why should I help a traitor?"
"I didn't choose to lose our friendship. You know, you're precious to me."
"Are you kidding me? Of course you chose it! You chose to keep alive for that stupid mission than your friendship! Now you regret it? What a shame you filthy creature!"
Mayu didn't realize her words make the vampire girl anger increase. Her eyes have changed color at the same time the moon covered by the clouds. Fangs have grown long and Yuki gritted her teeth. With fast motion she want to push Mayu onto the wall but someone bumped on her to stop her. The person came flying. Yuki and the mysterious person were rolling on the floor. Fortunately for Yuki she kicked the person that cause the person backed away. Mayu was shocked to see the person she never expect to be here and...with those eyes glowing red.
"I...I-Ikoma?"
To be comtinued...
