Amidst the shadows and the secrets

Night Seventy-Eight

"So you would rather bite me when I haven't cleaned everything yet. How long do you think it will take to clean it if you stall me?" She pushed his head away a little. "I basically promised to clean your room, and now you want me to break it? Not now." She got busy making herself a cup of tea. "As soon as my tea is up, I'll continue." 

Shu saw through her. "Sure, but you won't be able to hide behind household chores so no one would bite you."

"The household needs to be done since most of you hate to do it. And I'm not hiding, I am merely shifting my priorities because Reiji isn't here. Someone has to do it, unless you want to take over from me?" Laughing on the inside, she saw him backing up.

"You like to clean, and I don't. Feel free to clean the entire mansion if you want to." Shu left the next moment.

Yes, I got him to back off. He really doesn't like so many responsibilities, especially during the vacation. Come home, darling. I don't think I could hold them off for long. You are the one who can bite me. You are so gentle with me, and how you always kiss my neck before biting. She gathered what she needed and went back upstairs to start on his bedroom. With a bit of luck, I'll be done in about two hours. He said it himself; he doesn't always use his bedroom, so he could easily sleep elsewhere.

Vacuuming the room, Chisana was almost done with the room. And tomorrow Ayato's room. At least, I'll be tired enough to sleep. Ehm, yeah, but not without dreams. I can't believe we've done so much already. And making out a few times. Thinking about it takes her back, but she called herself straight while taking the vacuum back downstairs but hesitated on top of the stairs. No, I'll need it for Ayato's room tomorrow. I'm not lifting this damn thing up and down the stairs. After putting it in her room, she noticed Shu on her bed. "Comfortable? Your room is done." I need a drink and possibly an aspirin in case I get muscle pain.

Opening his eyes, Shu noticed she had already left. "Thank you, Chisana."

Going downstairs, she saw Kanato with Yui. "Sent her to the kitchen later, Kanato." Hearing a hum, she left to descend the stairs. Only to spot Ayato on the couch, much like her the first night of her arrival. "That's not how you seduce anyone, Ayato. Nice try." I'm immune to it. Oh, wait, I prefer your brother over you. I wonder how he will react once he does find out. Sorry, I can't tell you yet.

"What was that?" Ayato looked up, but the girl was gone. Scratching the back of his head, he shrugged and laid back down again. "Weird."

"The weird one is you, Ayato-kun." Laito swore he saw Chisana with Kanato, but he heard her with Ayato and left again. He teleported to the kitchen door to stop her.

"Knock if off!" Again, Ayato was met with nothing but himself in the hall.

Chisana opened the door. "Trying to find me?" She walked right past Laito and left him there.

Making Laito wonder if the woman was sprinting in between. How could the girl possibly be so fast? He was the one who could teleport. Not her.

"What do I have to do to be left alone?" Ayato laid back down with a grunt.

"Stay in your room," Chisana answered with a laugh and disappeared through a different door. I think I'm getting quicker because I know the mansion so much better now. They might teleport, but I found a few shortcuts. I'm loving this. They don't seem to know where I come from. And all thanks to one man in particular. My man showed me these tricks to get around quickly since I can't teleport. Well, in case someone can't teleport me, that is more accurate. "I made muffins earlier, Kanato. Four are for you. The other four are for Yui and me, later. I wrote your name on it for you."
