A Little Twist

Sixty-Two

That's the thing, I don't know you, or that I know what kind of vampire you are. She can't do much without waking him up. 'I won't be long. Maybe you can keep Ruki out while I get dressed.' She avoids his eyes and grabs some clothes. 

And that confirms it. She must get more privacy because of this fellow. Kou nods and goes back. 'Are you insane to teleport inside the bathroom? Was it necessary to see how she showers?' 

Ruki heard the two talk. 'To avoid situations like that in the future, you should wear a bikini in the bathroom.' 

Risa walks into the room all dressed. 'I can't... What kind of shower gel do I have? Did you get mine from my bathroom?' 

'Yes, you can. Stop being annoying and just do as I tell you, Livestock.' Ruki had it with the woman. 

She clenches her teeth for a moment. 'I need a little time in the bathroom because of Daiki. I can't use any shower gel to wash my breasts, Ruki. Not to mention, I have to let it dry instead of using a towel.' Unbelievable that I have to tell you this! 'Plenty of shower gels have chemicals that are bad for a baby. I breastfeed him.' She takes him back from Kou, who is surprisingly good with him. 

'Where is...' 

'Forget it, he doesn't want to be involved.' Yuma guesses what his friend means. 

Ruki turns around and strides to the door. 'I'll let it go just this once. He better not cry for too long, or you'll spend the night downstairs with him.' Having the last word, he leaves. 

He can't be real, right? Threatening to throw me and Daiki in the dungeon like that. He's crazy, and Shu would kill him. She knows that she doesn't have her phone with her. Why am I worried about my phone? I wouldn't leave without my phone... I didn't see my pillow. She goes to check it. 

'Don't worry, we won't let it go so far.' Kou walks away. 

Yuma is almost out of the room before he turns back. 'Just listen to the rules, and you'll both be fine.' 

'Yuma?' She stops him from leaving. 'I don't understand why I'm here with him. I'm genuinely sorry for your loss but it's not like kidnapping us will get you Yui back. Whatever the reason might be, you'll only anger them more by keeping us away. Is it worth it to cause a war?' 

He looks at her and sees her kiss Daiki's cheek before making eye contact. Only to say sorry without making a sound. 

I guess we have to make the best out of it for now. Your father will come for us. That I know for sure. She knows that he will be furious.

'Risa?' Ayato knocks on the bathroom door. Since when do you take long showers? He goes to the crib when he finds it empty. What?! No, impossible. Did she take Daiki with her? He hesitates but teleports inside. What the hell is going on? He turns the shower off and opens the door. 'Risa?' He checks the wardrobe and realizes clothes are missing. 'No, you can't do this now. You already promised to leave with Shu and Daiki.' He goes to the nursery and finds most clothes missing. Along with some books and toys. 'That's at least two suitcases.' He checks one last thing. 'No,' he whispers when the diaper bag is gone. Visibly sad with a frown, he digs up his phone from his pocket. 'Do you even know what you're doing to him?' He presses on Shu's name and calls. 

'What happened?' Shu knows he wouldn't call unless it's important. 

'She's gone, Shu.' Ayato lowers his voice to a whisper. 'Two suitcases and the diaper bag are gone as well.' 

The next moment, Shu teleports into the room. 'Risa!' Don't do this to me now, please?! 

'She's gone.' Ayato follows him.
