A Little Twist

Fifty-Five

Reinhart waited at the door opening for the students to come inside. 'Reiji, Moriko, can you come here for a moment?' He knew they were coming due to Reiji's fans. 

Reiji understands it's about Moriko's blood test. 

Moriko follows quietly and closes the door. 

'I take it that you have the result of her blood test?' Reiji prefers to go to class before the bell rings. 

Reinhart nods agreeing. 'I did. They worked faster.' He turns his attention to Moriko. 'My intuition got confirmed. Your thyroid works too slowly and that's not the only discovery. You are a diabetic too. Type two, and it means you have a choice in medication. Either you take a pill every day, or I could prescribe a pen for you to inject. I will also give you pills for your thyroid. You need to take one pill thirty minutes before breakfast. Since you have to go to class, I already wrote it down.' He hands it to Moriko. 

'I'll make sure to get the medication.' Reiji takes the paper and puts it away. Great, diabetic and thyroid problems. 'I assume her medication comes with a manual?' 

Reinhard smiles. 'Yes, and make sure you read it. Let me know if there are any other symptoms because of your medication, and I'll think of something else.' 

I doubt it will come to that. Reiji is convinced the girl won't live for long. 'Laito is waiting, hurry up to class.' He hears the first bell. 'Thank you.' He goes to his homeroom. I'll inform the others later. 'Meet me on the rooftop in the break.' Subaru will hear this once we're back home.

Laito pulls Moriko with him to the rooftop. 'You are unbelievable. If you don't cause trouble for Risa, you do it to your health.' He overheard something but not everything. 

Ayato was waiting for them. 'You are the last one here.' He gestures to Shu leaning against the wall. 

'The doctor had the result of her blood test. She's not just a diabetic but her thyroid works too slow also,' starts Reiji. 'I picked up your medication. But having health issues, you won't live long with us.' 

'True, Yours Truly doesn't care about your health. You serve at least your purpose as long as you have blood.'  

Kanato moves closer. 'Have you done it on purpose? All that trouble to frame Risa just to end up in the dungeon and to endanger your health so we don't bite you anymore?' 

'What? No, I wouldn't do that.' Moriko starts to recoil. 

Shu had enough. 'Planned or not, we don't care about you. You are here for one purpose only and that is to give us your blood.' I have homework to do. He teleports away. 

'You are quite creative and imaginary if you think you can keep us all to yourself. Don't ever lose out of sight that you belong to us, and not the other way around. All of this could've been avoided if you would treat Risa properly,' reacts Laito. 

Kanato is fed up with the girl. 'I thought you wanted our attention. Now you have it, and you still complain. All you have to remember is that you are expendable. One of these nights, one of us will kill you, and what do you have to look back at? Nothing. Always blaming someone else for what you did. Stealing stuff, and you tried to put it in Risa's room. Risa has Daiki, and she would never incriminate herself or harm the baby in the process.' 

'Let's get one thing straight,' starts Reiji while pushing his glasses back up. 'Whatever you do, whatever you try, you will never receive my trust. I only trust Risa because she listens to our rules. Hence, she earned her freedom around the house. I don't want to hear from you that you call her a housewife or I will kill you myself with my whip instead of my fangs.' He looks at the time on his pocket watch. 'Get back to class before the bell rings.'
