Amidst the shadows and the secrets

Night Fifty

Is that wise? "Most of the time, I'm in the library or in the garden..." 

"I told you to show me your room. I will not settle with two areas far apart from each other. Now, girl, let's go." Aiko noticed the water boiler. "Ah, you are making tea. Good, pour me a cup." 

Wait, am I suppose to server her or something? Reiji, I do this because I like your company and thought of making a move on the chessboard. "There isn't enough..." 

"Is there something wrong with your ears? I said make me a glass of tea." Aiko stepped forward and took the tea glass from the tray and sipped it. Only to spat it back out. "Put some sugar in it. Two teaspoons and hurry up." 

Chisana closed her eyes for the sudden reaction. "I'm not a servant. If you want tea you could just ask instead of demanding it." She quickly poured another teaglass and left with the tray. She's trouble, I just now it.

Chisana just finished her breakfast and smiled as Yui left. I'll see you at the front door. Shopping, and it's for you and me, Yui. Just girls, and we'll try to ignore Reiji. Cleaning everything, she heard something behind her. 

"Pour me tea." Aiko recognized the noise and checked it out. "And are you always this early? Change it, you woke me up."  

Do I have to take this? Then again, what can I do against someone who is a vampire. She looked at the clock. "Not enough time." She finished cleaning and grabbed her juice bottle from the fridge, when she was pushed against the wall. 

"If I tell you to make me some tea, you make me some tea. You could have given me my tea in the time we're wasting." Aiko could sense someone close and turned her around. "If you can't give me tea, your blood will do instead." 

Chisana wanted to say something but felt the fangs digging into her skin. What is wrong with her? I don't live here to serve the men? I never had to either. 

"This is beyond words. So you are good for something, no wonder they keep you around. You have good quality blood." Aiko stopped and dropped the girl. 

Did she had to drink so much? Or is it a punishment for not giving her tea. Chisana lifted herself off of the ground and wanted to walk out but was held back. 

"Next time I tell you to make me tea, you do that, do you copy? Otherwise, I will have to punish you. Stay close, because I'm parched. I will bite you before you go to bed." Aiko laughed when she saw the girl leaving the kitchen. 

Yui waited for her but her smile disappeared. "Is something wrong, Chisana-chan?" 

"It's nothing..." 

"Don't lie." Reiji arrived in the hall when he noticed something else. "Who bit you? None of us leave any bitemarks and for a reason." He didn't recognize it but at the same time it did. "Aiko?!" 

Said woman came in the hall within seconds. "Yes, what is it? You didn't mention with you are playing chess with but if you wrap it up, I'll be your opponent." 

Reiji tilted Chisana's head. "Make them go away. Never leave any bitemarks on them." 

"Where's the fun in that?" Aiko didn't foresee any trouble. 

"Now, they go to school with us." Annoyed that the girl didn't heal them, Reiji pushed his glasses using his fingers. "They can't walk around with bitemarks on their necks at school." 

Aiko rolled her eyes. "It's weekend so it should be fine." 

Reiji realized Chisana closed her eyes. "How much did you drink from her? She looks like she could faint."
