FOREVER IN ABYSS

CHAPTER 10 - BEYOND THE TOMB

Ryutaro put his hand on Oburi’s shoulder and wiped his lips on the soft skin of her cheek. Oburi shoved him away.

“Eh, nande?” he asked.

Oburi looked at him angrily. “You are asking me why?!” she exclaimed. “I could smell your damn fragrant delicious blood. That is why!” she answered angrily.

“You hungry?” he asked smiling down at her.

Oburi gritted her teeth on him. “By the way, how could you not know it? You are the one who called Yuri on his dreams, to save you, right?” she asked.

Ryutaro straightened his back on the back rest of the huge couch. He shrugged. “I never really thought that he would be able to hear me.”

Oburi looked at him and pouted which Ryutaro kissed away.

“Nande?!” Oburi exclaimed.

“You are asking me why?!” Ryutaro snapped back at her. “I wanted to kiss you, that is why!”

Oburi glared at him. “Ryuu, what do you think will Yuya do to Yuri?” she asked.

Ryuu sighed. “I wish I know. But the ritual is a secret. It was said to be a myth. Well, the guardian thing is a myth as well. It is just too good to be true.” He shook his head in confusion.

Oburi leaned to him and nuzzled her face in his chest. “I hope he will be fine.”

“Hey love birds!” Daiki called.

The couple looked at the cute penguin prince in front of them.

“I just couldn’t believe that Ryuu-kun here had been angry with Oburi-chan before, looking at how sweet the two of you are.” Daiki commented at them. “By the way, Ryuu-kun, you need to leave some blood for Oburi. Kota’s orders.”

Ryutaro looked back at the older guy. “So, we will really be leaving, huh? For how long?” he asked and hugged Oburi tightly to him who snuggled closer.

Daiki sighed. He could also feel the older one’s sadness. “We don’t know.”

Shizuka sighed as she saw Keito resting under the mulberry tree. He was holding a silver knife which he was polishing without really paying attention to.

Shizuka came to him. “Excuse me.” She started.

Keito looked up.

She held something to him which looked like a bunch of colored blankets. He took it from her. He stared at her in confusion as she nodded.

Keito opened the blanket. Inside was a newly polished silver kogatana. It was small which can fit in the back of his military boot. The handle was slim, and ornamented with small well defined rubies, the color of deep purplish red which was the same as the color of a vampire’s pupil whenever they drop their fangs.
