I hate that I love you [Diabolik Love story]

Book One: 8

He placed her on the couch as he saw that she had passed out. He remembered while he was roaming around while waiting for her to come home the previous night a first aid kit in the bathroom. So he got it and he started to clean up to bloody burn mark on her right arm. As he did Subaru came into the room and rose an eyebrow at the two.

"What the hell happened to her?" Subaru asked

"Her dumb boss burned her arm just because she wasn't working fast enough for his stupid liking when she was the only one there." Kanato said as he started to wrap up the burn mark.

"You didn't kill the guy did you?" Subaru asked

"I did and I don't regret it. He got what was coming to him for hurting what is mine." Kanato said as he held Serena's hand lightly as she slept.

"Tch, you're still having the thought of being with her? I thought we both agreed not to even try to get close to her?"

"You said you didn't want to Subaru which is fine, I can sorta understand why you'd want to be away from her. But I feel this odd connection towards her and I need to figure out why I feel the way I do towards her. There's a reason I feel like I do towards her, but that reason is still very unclear to me." Kanato said as he looked to the brunette woman that was sleeping. "You didn't see how she looked last night, how she just fell apart in front of me."

"And you care for this mortal why?"

"If it wasn't for her you'd still be wanting to go crazy for that lying girl who was here before. I think you need to re-think how you look at Serena like. If it wasn't for her we wouldn't be away from Reiji's stupid rules and away from Yui and the others." Kanato said standing up straight

Subaru froze in place for a moment before he looked away from Kanato. "Tch...fine I'll take it into consideration but I don't see how you can get so close to a girl so damn quick."

"She knows us both more than anyone else Subaru, she proved it to me last night. I've always wanted someone who'd know me well that wouldn't be afraid of me." Kanato said before he looked down to Serena. "She isn't afraid of me...if anything she clings on to me. I've never had anyone do that before...It....It felt really nice."

Subaru rolled his eyes and he left, he didn't want to hear the crap from his half-brother. He was delusional anyways. Subaru went to be on the porch as he held his silver knife in his hand, he wanted Serena to have it so she could kill him and Kanato if they ever got out of control. But she didn't want that, she wanted whatever her death was to come naturally. She was a strange girl and he didn't understand how could she be the way she was and still fight on each day.

With Kanato he was waiting for Serena to wake up as he did he ate the dinner that he was supposed to eat the previous night but didn't. He was too pissed off that Serena was an idiot and made him be how he was before. But now he realized why she did what she did, she didn't want to be hurt anymore than she already was by males. As he ate what Serena made he couldn't help but smile a bit, it was just like she said it would be; very sweet.

"What is this?" He asked more to himself than to teddy

"It's a French bread that I learned how to make all on my own. Its usually supposed to be made around Easter but I thought why the hell not make it now. Its really good."

Kanato jumped a bit as he heard Serena's voice. "Jeeze you scared me a bit."

She frowned a little. "I didn't mean to...Honestly. T-Thank you for taking care of my arm for me Kanato." She said nervously

"How do you know I did it?" Kanato asked curiously

"The tape that was used. Are you really going to question me? I have three different tapes, Teddy bears, silver and blue tape. The one that was used on my arm was the teddy bears one. I'm not that stupid Kanato." She said as she sat beside him

"You should eat something since you hadn't eaten all day." Kanato said changing the subject

She froze. "H-How do you know that?"

"I didn't I guessed but you just made it true by questioning me. Serena do you always starve yourself?" Kanato asked curiously

"When I'm really depressed like I am now...Yes." She said honestly

"Hm...I wish I knew a way to get you out of that state of mind." He said as he held his teddy closely to him.

"It's a genetics thing Kanato, the only way for me to get out of it is if I was to die." She said looking down at her uniform.

Kanato's eyes narrowed as he heard her speak. "I won't let that happen to you so quickly."

"How can you be so sure Kanato, I'm pretty sure you and Subaru aren't going to be here for much longer."

"Call your grandmother, maybe she can tell you how long it lasts." Kanato suggested

She shook her head. "I had enough of her last night. You can call her and ask her if you want." Serena said as she placed down her cell phone. "I'm going to take a shower I smell like fries and grease, I hate that smell on me."

"Okay Serena." He said with a nod.

She went to take her shower as Kanato picked the phone up and he looked through it. He read through her contacts.

Evil bitch 1

Evil bitch 2

Shitty elder sister 1

Shitty elder brother 1

Shitty elder brother 2

Crappy younger sister 1

Crappy younger sister 2

Controlling whacko

Ex-bratty boyfriend

Stupid uncle

Religious aunt

He furrowed his eyebrows at the contacts, there wasn't one person who just had a name to it. He didn't know which one was her grandmothers. So he went to the recent called list and he saw that 'evil bitch 1' was the one she called the night before.

"She really needs to coordinate these more." He mumbled to himself as he pressed call on the number.

"Yes Serena?" Her grandmother said unamused

"This isn't serena she's taking a shower, its Kanato." He said nervously

"Oh hello, are you enjoying your time with my granddaughter?" She asked with a lighter tone

"Don't change your tone because I'm not her. I can't believe a sick woman like you would use your own granddaughter just because she's different than the rest of her family! Tell me honestly how long are Subaru and I here for and don't give me any run around because I will find you and kill you under the wishes of Serena." Kanato said coldly

"Oh dear, seems like she made you normal again. But if you must know." She said before she sighed. "You both are stuck here for life, the spell is a contingency spell which means that as long as either she or I are alive you two will be stuck here unless you find a way to make Serena like you two then you two are stuck with her for all eternity."

"Is that why you placed those papers in the box with Subaru and me?" Kanato asked as he saw Subaru come into the room

"Yes that's exactly why. Until the moment of truth comes and she either picks to be with both or either one of you two, you all will need something to pass time...anyways you two are teenagers who aren't done with school yet. School then play Kanato."

"What the hell do you know you useless mortal! The moment that Serena tells me to disconnect her from all of her family is the moment I kill all of you and make you pay for all of the pain you've placed upon her." Kanato growled before he hung the phone up

"Are you really getting that attached to Serena?" Subaru asked after a few minutes

"We're stuck here until both that woman and Serena dies. I'll do whatever it takes to keep Serena with me, she doesn't deserve to suffer." Kanato said lowly
