You Can't Catch Me (Diabolik Lovers)

Chapter 9

     Pixis stared wide-eyed over the counter. "Well... how much can I get for it?" He said, fumbling with his fingers, and checking his surroundings often.
     "Hmm...Here." The man on the other side grunted, taking Pixis' items then pushing over what Pixis really wanted. The neko smiled slightly, nodding in thanks before taking it and quickly leaving the building.
     He kept his hood up as he started walking towards the abandoned building he sometimes stayed at. He counted what he had before going into the building through a broken window. He set his small bag down, next to the blanket he had rolled out. He smiled slightly thinking about what he could buy with what he had just obtained.
     Maybe some better food? Maybe things inside his temporary home? A softer pillow would be nice. Then why didn't he just stay at the Sakamaki mansion? He had everything; even...friends? No, just company. Company was nice.
     Pixis smiled slightly to himself, thinking of the vampires.
     Suddenly, the already breaking door of the building was kicked down. Pixis stood with a start, grabbing his bag. He saw lights start swarming in the dim room.
    "No..no.." He muttered, turning towards the window he came through.
     "There he is! Grab him already!" Pixis heard this and ran to the window, squeezing through just in time to miss the men in uniforms behind him.
     He quickly took off towards, currently, the safest place for him; The Sakamaki Manor. The neko knew they were following but he tried his best to get there without them shooting him with a dart.
     Pixis looked back, seeing that the men were following on foot. He'd definitely beat them there.
     Finally, Pixis reached the mansion. He beat on the front door, seeing as the men were just getting through the gates.
     "Please..please let me in! Ple—Agh!" Pixis fell, just as the door opened. The neko scurried in, running behind the nearest wall and falling to the floor.  
     Ayato was close and looked down at the neko confused. "Neko—" "Hush." Pixis said, peering around the corner and listening in at the door.
     "I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about, sir." Reiji said calmly, looking down at the two men at the door.
     "We know that rat just ran into your mansion. He has no collar and he's a thief, we've been looking for him for years!" The tallest man said, flailing the dart gun he had around in frustration.
     "I don't know why you'd assume such a thing. Now I'd appreciate it if you'd leave." Reiji said sternly, shutting the door.
     Pixis sighed as Reiji rounded the corner and looked at him. The vampire had a glare on his face, before it softened slightly as he saw the pain Pixis was in.
     "They got me with that damn gun again." He whimpered, turning to show the small pin in his shoulder. Ayato frowned before bending down and picking up the neko bridal style.
     "You better explain later." The redhead said, heading upstairs with his older half-brother.

     Pixis sat up and groaned. "Those darts always make me sick." He said to himself, rubbing his eyes. He looked around the room, spotting Subaru in the corner of the room, asleep in a chair.
     "What a great watch-vamp." Pixis giggled quietly before slipping out of the bed, trying to get steady. He stood, a hand on his stomach, before leaning forward like he would hurl.
     "Ew.." he whined, only burping.
     "That's disgusting." Pixis turned to look at a cringing Subaru.
     "Oh..go back to sleep." He said, pouting and putting a hand on his hip. Subaru rolled his eyes, standing up.
     "Whatever. Reiji is waiting downstairs for your 'explanation'." Pixis nodded, slowly making it to the stairs. He noticed that all the Sakamakis were downstairs, sitting in a room.
     "What's this? An intervention?" Pixis sighed, taking a seat next to Laito and Kanato. Ayato huffed, crossing his arms with a glare.
     "Just go on and explain." He said, raising his eyebrow. Pixis opened his mouth, then looked around.
     "Ne? Where are my other vampys?" Pixis asked, pouting slightly at their absence.
      "They have their own mansion now." Reiji answered.
     "Could you go on now?" Kanato asked, getting impatience.
     "Well, a few years ago The Pounds men killed my parents. I got away but I pulled a harmless prank on them. Ya know, for revenge. But I can assure you I'm not a thief." Pixis said, lying.
     "Yes, they've been after me for a while now but I always get away. They just want to catch me to torture me like they did my parents." He finished, frowning a bit.
     "Then why don't you find someone? You can get a collar then they can't chase you." Pixis shrugged at the question.
     "I don't trust everyone."
     "Yeah, well I don't trust you either. We don't know what you were up to before you came here."
     "I have no reason to steal from others. I wasn't raised that way anyway. I wouldn't." He said, looking at Subaru.
     The albino stared at him before looking away with a small blush.
     "Anyway, I'm not asking for a collar. But, thank you all for helping me earlier." Pixis smiled.
     "You can stay longer if you need." Reiji said, standing up to leave. The others looked at him questionably. Pixis blinked, confused at first.
"Thanks.." he mumbled, blushing slightly.
