Amidst the shadows and the secrets

Night Seven

"There is plenty of time.' He brought his head down and unbuttoned the top buttons to get to her skin. Tasting her blood, he understood why his brothers were hooked and addicted. Enjoying her blood, he stopped in time and made sure the bitemarks don't show. "Hurry up to your homeroom." He held the door open for her. "Apology accepted but don't come here again." 

She nodded and went back to her homeroom. He knows DeBussy? Who else does he know? Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, Bach, and Zimerman?

Maybe it's a good thing, Shu bit me at school. He won't try back at home, and I can do my homework. I'm not doing that in the car anymore. Chisana got out of the car and back inside the mansion. For once, Yui didn't try anything. Did they tie a leash of some kind on her? Maybe a threat? 

"Chisana, a moment." Reiji wanted to talk to her because he noticed the presence of his brother on her, and remembered her words about having him bite her. 

It's not like I can say no. "Of course." Chisana had a hunch it regarded his brother and followed him with a smile. I think it's because Shu bit me at school. I couldn't keep him waiting after what happened this afternoon. 

Reiji waited and closed the door behind her. 'Why did you go to that Deadbeat? You let him bite you at school, and I prefer you keep that here within the mansion." 

So it is about Shu. "I was kinda rude to him due to my panic in the afternoon. I thought it was best to apologize and let him bite me before things could get out of hand. I'm sorry, Reiji," she explained with a bow. "I will remember not to let it happen at school." 

He understood that she would do her best without making a promise. "Not at school anymore." 

"Reiji, you are the only one who hasn't bitten me yet. Tomorrow night is for you." She told him. That's why I haven't been to the game room, garden, or any other room where I could have encountered one of your brothers.

Wondering why he hadn't bitten yet, he did receive confirmation. "So you have tried to keep your distance on purpose. How thoughtful of you. But after school, Chisana, I can wait." He said without denying his curiosity. He made a gesture to his desk. "If I wasn't in my final year, I could do more to find something about your father. So far nothing." 

"That's okay, I understand that school comes first." She reassured him with a smile. I'll stay in my room tonight so I can refill my bottle before starting on my homework. 

Reiji told himself to bite the nuisance first while making tea. "When I do find something, I will let you know." 

"Thank you, Reiji, I understand you have other priorities. I might be in my second year but I can't forsake my homework either. So I better get started." She smiled with a bow before walking to the door. If your final exams are coming up then that comes first. She hesitated at the door. "Do you wish to teleport me back home after school? I'm sure it's no issue once we're in the car." 

"We'll see that tomorrow. Don't make it too late." 

"I won't. Sleep well for later." She went back to her room and found Ayato there. "I'm sure you heard us talk, Ayato, and I have homework to do." 

"Why should I let an opportunity go?" Ayato got closer with his eyes drawn to her neck. 

She threw her books on her bed. "Since when do two of you bite me in one night? I want Reiji to bite me because not everyone has bitten me. After tomorrow..."
