Amidst the shadows and the secrets

Night Eighteen

"I wouldn't want to go to your mansion." Yuma dislikes the idea. "So we can bite her here during the lunch break. Even better..." 

"Don't make her faint, if you do, you take care of her. Don't forget her grades need to get better." Reiji said enough and left. 

Yuma exchanged a look with Ruki, but he shrugged his shoulders and walked back inside.

Chisana followed Reiji in the car and noticed some were not there yet. Sitting next to Reiji, she eyed the book in his hand. "Could you wait with reading? Because of my promise to Laito, I let him bite me but I know it was the last time here at school. I'd like to say something about it to the others as well." 

Reiji closed his eyes, along with a nod. "Sure." He liked it she took her responsibility and knew his brothers would listen. 

Shu came in next and realized how empty the car was and used it to sit on Chisana's other side. That his brother sat on her other side didn't bother him for once. He stretched his legs and crossed his ankles. 

"Can you still hear me, Shu?" She smiled when he opened one eye. "I have a request for all of you. After that, you can turn the volume back up and go to sleep." 

"It's instrumental, Chisana, I can hear you just fine." Shu noticed his youngest brother coming in the car together with Laito. 

"For once, she was faster than me. The teacher told me I have class duty starting Monday." For the first time, Laito saw the two oldest so close to each other. Only to shake his head because things had changed with Chisana's arrival. 

The other three arrived, and Ayato closed the door. "Kanato forced Yours Truly to clean." 

Chisana side-eyed Reiji and knew he had her back. He doesn't like it either. "If I may ask, please don't bite me at school anymore. If you are thirsty, bite me before we go. I only allowed Laito because of a promise I made earlier. Next Tuesday, Laito and I have a math test and if he has a good grade I promised him he can bite my thigh. We get the result on Wednesday," she informed them. "It's a one time only, Laito. I still prefer to change clothes when I get back home." 

Laito smiled because of the thought of biting her thigh. He looked forward to it. "Of course, you promised me, and you keep your promises." 

Subaru understood why Reiji didn't read. "Funkin' pervert, but he will try to bite your thigh again after next Wednesday." He agreed with a nod as an answer for her request. "And sure, before going to school then." 

"Agreed, I heard the commotion between you and those two Mukami idiots. So we are allowing the Mukami's to bite the other one at school?" Kanato hugged Teddy while his eyes were on Yui. 

"Thank you." Chisana put her music on. That was it. Thank you. 

Reiji opened his book, knowing there wouldn't be another interruption. 

Yui swallowed to get rid of the lump in her throat. She wanted to know what happened after she left the roof top. "Does that mean that Ruki and the others will bite me at school?" She remembered how they never settle their thirst quickly. In fact, she always fainted when they drink her blood. 

Annoyed, Reiji refrained from looking up from his book. "You interrupted my reading again, once more and this book will become a lethal weapon." 

Flinching, Yui eyed the girl between the two oldest brothers. It wasn't fair how Chisana could talk, but if she did she got called out!?
