Bell + Vampire

Chapter 2

|Bell and A Succubus|

A week had passed since the defeat of Saizou Komiya, and rumors had spread far, and swiftly, it wasn't long until Bell was the talk of the school, saying that Saizou sought to challenge Bell since he was a recommendation, and was put in his place by him. Little did they know, that was the plan, and he would have done it, but in truth, the person who one-tapped him, was Moka in her Vampire Form. But at the end of the day, "Bell" defeated him, causing him to be challenged by many throughout the week, Bell, thanked his talents, intelligence, and training, thanking his family for their hard work, it was because of that he was able to stand up to the challenge, and come out with a victorious. But Bell always felt a lingering presence, as if someone was sending these people after him. So far, Bell has kept his promise to Moka and only shows his emotion in front of her when they are alone, Bell has noticed that she's become a little more addicted to his blood, he didn't mind though, but he did scold her for the addiction, forcing her to slow down, as he may not survive a month due to blood loss. Currently, dressing in his school uniform, and tieing his long hair, he grabbed his bag and left his dormitory, exiting with his expressionless persona, Bell had although growing in popularity, gained great criticism, as many saw his indifferent expression as arrogant as if he saw everyone and everything as trivial. It annoyed many, but it also caused them to ignore him, which in return was exactly what he wanted. Bell noticed that he had a lot of time before class would begin, and decided to take a stroll as he felt someone's gaze on him.

As I began walking, the gaze temporarily vanished, it was a familiar gaze, alluring and mischievous, I knew exactly who those amethyst eyes belonged to, Kurumu Kurono. But why is acting this way? During the week, I ventured into the school's library and found a Monster Encyclopedia, Beastiary? I don't know, it was practically a dictionary with bite-sized information about thousands of monsters, and with it, I learned about every monster that was possible in the school. Understanding that I was constantly attacked throughout the week, I felt someone manipulating things from behind the scenes, I did some digging on the people who attacked me, finding out they had no connection to one another, later speaking to them personally, they told me they didn't know why they picked a fight with me, although they believed they were in control. The easiest explanation was a form of subtle mind control, strong enough to have almost full control over a person, but subtle enough to also make them believe it was their choice, it was an ability that few monsters within the book possessed, a charm, and the species with that kind of precision was the Succubus.

I entered Yokai Academy's garden, hands in pockets, as I waited for my prey to show herself. It didn't take long for me to find Kurumu pleading for help, it was subtle, but I felt an unease in my psyche, as she appeared more enchanting. So, this must be the power of a succubus' charm, my expression didn't change, but wanting to see what she was trying to do, I "obeyed" and helped her, taking her near the entrance to the school. As expected, she began forcing herself onto me, and I could feel how she attempted a stronger charm. Unfortunately, I was able to shut off my emotions, well somewhat, It's only when Amaris appears that I completely close off my emotions completely. I simply grabbed her shoulders and pulled her away, my expression unchanging.

"Listen, I don't know what you are doing or planning," Lie. "But I'm not interested, I'll see you in class, Kurumu."

I simply left, and made my way to class, thanks to my heightened senses, I heard her quietly 'Tch', looks like she wanted to use me for something, and I knew exactly what it was. Moka, you are causing me a lot of trouble. In class, I already knew the lesson, so I simply looked outside the window, I could feel Kurumu's gaze practically drilling holes into the back of my head. Kurumu's frustrated, on edge, stressed, and obsessed, why though... All I could do was audibly sigh, at my predicament. Kurumu doesn't like Moka for some reason and wants to use me to get to her. I'll have to ask Ms. Nekonome, after class, next period, I'll be free, which will give me ample time to get some information from the teacher, and enough time to thoroughly read about Succubi.
