Kage Ni Kakureru Shizutâzu

Chapter 6

Most boys found this as a challenge and accepted it but over time they realized that they would never get Shizuka as she made it very clear that she didn't want a mate, so they stopped in their advances. Sadly, poor Ochitsuita still had a few after her. Their excuse was because they wanted to "help" her overcome whatever was making her afraid. They didn't realize it was them, themselves. Now, it was very rare to see the Neko alone so if you see her alone you needed to take the chance before it was over as it was almost as rare as a "Once in a lifetime" opportunity. Most of the teachers frowned on this, thinking that Ochitsuita was growing to be too dependent. They tried to separate the twins on several but Daku was quick and always stopped that from happening.

Shizuka didn't mind her twin being beside her at school anyways as it helped each other, she got to scare all the boys away and her sister got to help her with the school problem. It wasn't that she wasn't smart but some classes confused her very much. She needed to study in order to pass.

Ochitsuita understood all of their classes and helped her sister, tutoring her, probably a vampire thing. Though soon there was a mystery around the school, boys were starting to disappear and it was related to the twins. How do they know this? Each disappearance was after a boy went to their houses. They'll be fine for a couple of days before they're gone and the twins had no clue what was going on but Ochitsuita had an idea on what's causing this, or rather who was doing this, she was a vampire, after all, she could smell the blood off of someone.

One day, she went to that person and confronted them, she didn't try to sugarcoat it. "Did you kill the boys in my school?" She asked them. The person was shocked to hear that but remembered that she was part vampire, no matter how much one can fool a werewolf nose, they can't fool a vampire when it came to blood. He sighed. "Yes, but it was to protect you two," Said the person, or rather he, said to the neko. She looked at him with an empty expression before asking another question. "So, were you the one to kill 'father'?" She asked because it sounded like he had killed another werewolf before.

Ah yes, that was the thing, their school was a school full of werewolves because their village is a werewolf village so that's why the vampire was offering to teach her before getting killed by her older brother. He narrowed his eyes at his younger sister, he had underestimated her. She was keener than he thought but a part of him was proud of it. Sadly it was time to turn the tables around. Walking closer to his little sister, he put a hand on her shoulder. "Maybe, but I think it's best to not question it." Daku said before pinching a nerve and made her fall asleep. He caught her before she fell on the floor, not knowing that the other sister was watching.

Shizuka was behind a wall watching what was happening between the two because of a request that Ochitsuita asked from her. She was shocked that their brother was capable of doing that but she was happy to know who was the person that freed them from the monster. Sadly, their savior was turning into that kind of monster.

Flashback

"Hey sis, could you do something for me?" Asked Ochitsuita to her sister when they were working on homework in her room. It was unusual for her to ask for favors, so she sent a curious glance to the neko before reluctantly nodding. "Thanks, I just need you to eavesdrop on a conversation between Daku and I."

Wait, did she hear that right? Her twin sister, who practically enjoys being around Daku, almost more than her own twin, is asking to eavesdrop on them? Sure, Shizuka doesn't trust her older brother a lot, but why did she ask that? "Did something happen?"

"No, at least, not yet...", the neko mumbled, this raised alarms, but will still do as she said. She will be there to make eavesdrop and to make sure nothing happens to her older twin sister!

Flashback End

Worried for her twin, as it was known between them that Daku had Dream powers and by knocking her out, he could do whatever he wants until someone woke her up. Quickly but quietly, she left the scene so that he wouldn't spot her and went to her room, waiting for him to put Ochitsuita in her own room. She was waiting for him to leave her body alone so that she could wake her sister up before he could do more damage. She wasn't like her twin as she had never really trusted Daku, it was always her Mother she trusted the most. She followed her instincts and her instincts said that he was bad news, even the angels said that he was turning into a black sheep.

Night came, and she still hasn't heard anything from Daku so she quietly left her room to look for her twin, using her scent to track her. Finding her in the living room still knocked out but she was moving a lot in her sleep, which was not like her. Taking action, she grabbed her twin and took her sleeping sister to her room, closing the door so that less noise came out before trying to wake her up. When she did wake up, she hugged her twin, can't blame her for being worried.
