The Servamp of Fear (A Servamp Spin-off Story)

Chapter 17 Sushi Belt? (edited)

"Well, this is the address Tsubaki sent me." Ririi and the others followed Kuro to the sushi belt restaurant. "This is where I found Rose." Ririi pointed to the dank alleyway that was right beside the restaurant. "I remember it like it was yesterday." Tetsu put a hand on Ririi's shoulder giving her a kind smile. "I bet it was a great day for the both of you." "It was raining Tetsu, but thanks for the warm thought." Ririi giggled at the tall 15-year-olds kindness.

"There they are." Mahiru pointed to the sky. Just a moment later Tsubaki landed on his feet still holding Rose close to him. His arm was wrapped protectively around her waist while he held her hand against his chest. "Hello everyone, it's nice to see that you are all well." Kuro stepped closer to his younger brother and broadly looked at Rose, the worry was laced in his eyes. "Did he hurt you?" She shook her head hiding her slightly bruised hand. "I'm fine Kuro."

"Shall we start the evening now?" Everyone hesitantly walked into the restaurant watching Tsubaki's every move.

Oh, how Ririi hated that psycho vampire. he took everything away from her. She missed her parents dearly but then something dawned on her, if Tsubaki never did kill her parents then she would have never found out about the truth. She never would have figured out that those novels her mother wrote were in fact not even stories, but instead reports. She would have never met Mikuni, and if she never met Mikuni then she probably would not have lived in this town and then she never would have met Rose. Ririi would have been all alone with only her parents to keep her company. This was her family now, yes it was a bit weird and broken but it was her family. these were her friends. Ririi slightly sighed to herself just thinking about the thought. Perhaps she didn't need to feel hatred towards the 8th Servamp.

Hyde sat in front of Tsubaki and glared at his youngest sibling. "Licht, I don't like this." "Shut up shit rat, if you think you're the only one who hates someone in this room then you're wrong." "Aw, common angel babe, this is serious! he's an evil Servamp who says he's a good guy now. That's just not right." "Just shut up." Licht rolled his eyes at Hyde's constant babbling. He hated his Servamp, he was an "Angel" born to "purify the world of all Evil." That included demons, demons like Hyde. Yet he was tricked into becoming Hyde's Eve, he hated every second of it.

Tsubaki's voice interrupted Licht's thoughts, "Is everyone having a good time~?" Mahiru reached for a plate on the belt. "This is actually fun Tsubaki. I'm glad that we decided to come." Ririi was the next to speak up, "It is really nice Tsubaki, see guys, aren't you glad that you gave him another chance?" Ririi motioned for the others to play along. Some of the Servamps and Eve's nodded why the others shrugged unsure of the comment. Ririi hesitantly looked at Tsubaki, "Everyone deserves a second chance...So, Tsubaki, has my Servamp helped you out yet?" Tsubaki looked down at Rose who seemed in another world "Yes, and I thank her for that."

However, Rose was not paying attention to anything in the room, she was more worried about the feeling she had in her stomach. something was not right. Ririi waved her hand in front of Rose who blinked and snapped out of her daze. "Huh? oh sorry Ririi, I was thinking about something." "It's okay Rose, I want to apologize for what I did and said in Tsubaki's base. I walked away from you and I am so sorry about that. friends shouldn't turn their backs on each other, and you had every right to keep those secrets from me. some things are best to be kept as secrets."

Rose smiled and looked down at her plate, "It's okay Ririi, I forgive you." "It really doesn't seem like it." Rose looked up at Ririi to see that she was examining her. "are you okay Rose?" She secretly wasn't fine; the room seemed to be spinning around and the walls seemed to be closing in on her. Everything was becoming black and blurry. Everyone's voices became just mumbles to Rose. But just then a gentle hand took rose by surprise. Tsubaki was looking down at Rose, a worried expression was plastered on his face. "Rose, are you okay? you haven't eaten anything."

The young female vampire breathed in a shaky breath trying to calm herself down, "Yes I am fine guys. Thank you for your concern." However, Ririi knew better, something was troubling her Servamp. She wanted to find out what it was. Maybe later she would go and talk to Rose one on one. For now, though; she would seem as if everything was alright.

Ririi watched Tsubaki joke around with his siblings who would crack smiles or even laugh every once in a while. She smiled at her Servamp and took her hand, "I'm glad that Tsubaki is having fun with his family, all thanks to you Rose." "I was made to help the siblings, I only pushed him towards his family. He needed it after all everyone needs a family to call their own." Rose looked into Ririi's eyes only for Ririi to discover Rose's true feelings; 'Heartbroken'. Ririi gasped in realization, 'It hurts Rose to watch this because her family disowned her...While everyone enjoys themselves, she silently suffers without a family to call her own.' "Rose, I-I'm so sorry. You should of-" But Ririi was cut off.

"It's okay Ririi, just because I came from a broken family doesn't mean that I won't have a family of my own in the future. Truly my dream is to bring everyone together as a family should be. I'm slowly progressing. my goal will soon be complete. Then they won't need me anymore." Ririi looked over to the siblings who were now laughing along with Tsubaki and having a good time. All accept Hyde who seemed bent out of shape. "So; what will you do once you've completed your goal?" "I don't know yet. I never made decisions on my own, so time will tell. I will take my life day by day, but hopefully, you will let me be your Servamp even after my goal is completed?" Rose giggled then smiled at Ririi who looked shocked but nodded, smiling back.

The chain was starting to strengthen between the Fear pair once more, but would it last? Or would it eventually break?
