A New Life

Chapter 12 - Curiosity killed the cat

It was your first official day at the Mukami house and you have the full intention to explore the mansion today. When you managed to get out of bed, you got dressed and was ready to explore. You opened the door to an empty hall. You strut down the hall hoping not to run into any of the Mukami's, cuz then it's gonna lead to some kind of trouble then you will have your blood sucked until you faint.
" It's like those guys think that sucking someone's blood is gonna make their problems go away. So annoying." You thought to yourself. Walking down the hall, you peeped your head into many of the rooms. You couldn't help but keep comparing the Sakamaki's to the Mukami's. They were just similar.

"Oi sow, what the hell are you doing." You hear Yuma call from the other side of the hall. "You look like you've gotten lost. I can help you with that." He said. You just turned away and stuck up your nose and sneered
"No thank you. I'd rather not."
"I'm not gonna take no for an answer, come here." He reaches his arms out and you dodged. "Hey, stay still."
"Like hell, I will!" You said as you sprinted as fast as you could, running away from the vampire. When he wasn't in sight anymore you stopped. You bent down as you recovered your breath.
"There you are, stop running will ya? Sow." That voice made you jump and you were about to keep running but Azusa was blocking your escape route. He looked unusually amused by the little cat and mouse chase you and Yuma were having.
"(Y/n) - san, Ruki wants...... to see you. Now." You just sighed in annoyance. Ruki was another person on your list that you don't want to get on their bad side.
"That's what I was gonna tell you but you ran off." Yuma started to ramble. This isn't gonna end well.
"No, that is not what you said to me before. You could've told me straight away instead of saying some other kind of creepy stuff. Anyway, let's just get this over and done with." You stood up and waited for them to lead you to Ruki. Well, that is what you had planned in your head. Instead, they just disappeared. And left you alone. In a place that you barely knew.
"Great, thanks a lot." You throw your hands up into the air and begin to walk down into the dark hall.

"God the place is so big. I'm so dead once I find Ruki." You think to yourself. When you look up, your head turns and you realise.
"I-I-I'm g-going in cir-cles." Opening your eyes in shock and falling down on your knees.
"Ah, (y/n)-san. Have you... seen Ruki...yet?" Azusa stutters. You just look up and try to make a believable sad face. Continuing with the act you try to whimper
"Azusa! I haven't and he's gonna do something terrible if you don't help me get to him. Please help me, Azusa!"
He just stands in front of you, processing what you just said.
"You know...where we met up ...before? His room...was right next to us. Did you not... see it?" Your jaw drops and you just grunt.
"Can you still please guide me back? I'm still new to this place. Please?" You ask.
Azusa just nodded and gestured you to follow him.

After about 5 minutes of walking in total silence, you reached Ruki's room. Before you could reach the door handle, it opened up from the other side. Ruki stepped out and gave you a disappointed look.
"Thank you Azusa, you may leave now. Livestock, come in." He ordered. You waved goodbye to Azusa and stepped inside. As you were walking in, the little voice in your head started to panic,
"Your screwed (y/n)! Run whilst you have the chance. Go now!" All you can do was ignore it and suffer the consequences.

The door was closed shut and you sat down on the sofa in the middle of the room.
"Livestock, I didn't ask for you to sit down, you will remain standing." You stood up immediately.
"I think I'm in enough trouble as it is." You thought to yourself.
"Why did you take so long livestock?" Ruki questioned.
"I got lost." You mutter.
You looked up at Ruki and Ruki just had his usual emotionless face.
"That's not good enough. Do you know why I asked you here?" He asks. You just shake your head, confused. "I would prefer a proper answer." You gulped and just replied.
"Nope."
"I see. I'm guessing you remember the incident you had yesterday? What happened, I would like an explanation." He orders.
"Well, I basically being punished who I thought was Reiji, he gave me some weird drink and then the real Reiji walked into the room. Finally, he left the minute Subaru came running in and that's it." You explain.
"I see. Have you ever met or heard of a man called Karl Heinz?" Ruki questioned. You just gave a confused look, you had never heard of anyone called that name.
"Okay, that's it then. Despite being late, I won't punish you. You can take your leave, just don't wander off."
He pointed to the door and you took your leave.

Wondering around again, you came across 2 large glass doors that lead to an extravagant garden filled with many juicy looking fruits and vegetables. You couldn't help it and you walk towards the garden. It turns out that the sun was just setting. Vampires awake during the day! Well, it was kinda the evening but that didn't really matter. It had been weeks since you saw the sun, it's warm rays hit your skin.
"Oi sow, you daydreaming?" You were pulled from your train of thought to see Yuma bending over waving his hand in front of your face. You scrunch up your face and slap his hand away.
"Yeah, I'm just fine. What did you want?" You ask.
"Tch, I could ask you why you are here. This is my garden." He proclaimed. Of all of the Mukami's he defiantly seems like he's the one who would garden the most. "Sow, you're doing it again!" He sighed.
"Sorry, I should stop doing that. So. Um. What are you doing out here now?" You question.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm picking out the vegetables so Ruki can cook dinner. He said that we're having casserole tonight. Can you help? Take this and don't drop anything." He ordered. For the next half-an-hour, you helped Yuma with the gardening. You learnt quite a few things, like how they used to be human and how they met at an orphanage.

"And that's the last of it." He said as he stretched out his back as you struggled to carry the basket filled with many vegetables. He looked down on you with amusement.
"Just put that down, we have a while till he needs the stuff anyway. Besides, my throat is dry as hell." Yuma whined. No longer being able to take the pain, you drop the basket with all the food inside rolling around on the ground. You looked up to Yuma and he seemed to be quite mad now. You turn to run but he grabs you from behind and yanking you in. He pulled down the right part of your clothing you reveal your clean skin.
"You know it takes ages to grow all of those vegetables. Consider this a punishment." He said as he bit down on your shoulder and sucking on it harshly. It hurt, like always. After a little while, he let go but he didn't let you fall unconscious. This may have been a first.
"Don't think you're done, pick up the vegetables and follow me to the kitchen. " He ordered. You just roll your eyes when he turned his back. For about ten minutes you followed Yuma around until you both ended up in the kitchen. He dismissed you back to your room and advised you to clean up and get ready for night school.

Yuma's POV
"You're lucky... Yuma.... I haven't had a chance..... With (y/n) -san yet.... It's unfair." Azusa murmurs.
"Geez, why don't you just approach her? It's not like she can harm us, she's actually better than a lot of other women, just don't freak her out. " I sigh.
"Is this about M-neko chan?" Kou chimed, does his voice always have to be that loud and annoying?
"Didn't you freak her out when we first took her? I can't believe that she hasn't filed a restraining order on you." I mutter. Kou pouts and Azusa just gives a slight giggle.
"Remember, we're trying to win her over. We have to convince her to stay here and not with those Sakamaki's. If we can't force her, we'll convince her." Ruki appeared to.
"This is interesting. I hope she can stay here." I think to myself.
