The Pureblood...Demon?!

Chapter 20

Walking into the main room, I spot the one of the two boys I was looking for, as well as many other night class students. Ciel is down in the mesh of vampires, which in itself if not that odd, if not for the fact that Sebby was nowhere to be seen. I quickly walk down the staircase and head straight for Ciel. As I was about to arrive in his location, I bumped into someone.

"I sorry!"

Apologizing quickly, I look at who it was and my mind immediately blanked. Right in front of me was Senri-not-Senri. It was my father who, for some yet unknown reason, was possessing my friends body. His lips softly molded towards a more gentle smile, and his eyes flashed a trace of warmth. Perhaps this would look like a picture perfect scene of father and daughter meeting at last, if it weren't for the fact that the father was possessing a boy around the same age as the daughter, me.

He brought his hand up to my head and patted down my hair. His expression held races of melancholy, affection, and regret. His actions seemingly surprised all the present night class students, as they stopped what they were doing and was watching us.

"You've grown well, my sweet daughter."

At these words, the vampires that were drinking their artificial blood spewed out the liquid and began coughing out the liquid that somehow got down their air ways. Hanabusa Aido, who was covered in still-healing bruises, immediately fainted on the spot. Some vampire accidentally dropped what they were holding, a surprising feat being that they're vampires, and the others just stood still in absolute shock.

"...Thanks. I'm glad that I got to meet you, father."

At my response, Rima Toya began mumbling something along the lines of 'when' and 'how' while the remaining vampires that held something dropped whatever was in their hands. Ciel was just looking wide eyed between me and my father and seemed to be put in a light state of shock. I wonder what's wrong? Perhaps they are surprised that the person possessing Senri is my father? Or maybe that my father would possess someone close to his daughter? Who knows....

Smiling towards my father, I turn towards the wide-eyed Ciel. I'm still confused about whether to be angry at my father for possessing Senri or happy that my father doesn't seem to be a complete demon alike what Juri and Haruka said. Either way, it's still polite to smile.

"Hey Ciel. Are you okay?"

"...That boy, Shiki, he's your father?!"

"Pft... no, that's ridiculous. Why would you say that?"

"...You just had this conversation in front of me."

"Conversation? Oh, you mean with my father? Don't worry about it, my father is possessing Senri, not Senri himself. I thought it was obvious, no?"

"How is that obvious?!"

"So no one notice the change in his eyes, temperament, and behavior? Really? And here I thought that non-humans were supposed to have a higher intelligence..."

"..."

Getting ready to transfer to a more private conversation, I take Ciel ahold of his wrist and drag him to a more private location; the hall. Seriously no one was in here, they were all gathering in the main room. Setting up a hear-no-evil and a speak-no-evil barrier, I turn towards Ciel and speak.

"Ciel, as much as I hate to say it, my father could also be responsible for the increase of Level Es. Seeing as I was a pureblood vampire, that means both of my parents had to be purebloods as well. My mother was Juri Kuran, and my father remained unknown until now. Apparently, my father is a man named Rido Kuran, a pureblood rumored to be cruel... though, aside from possessing Senri, I don't see anything cruel about him. Well, that and aside from causing me to kill another pureblood... but, well, that's besides the point."
