I love you and your blood: Side Story 2: Pt. 1
It had been a few months since Nino and Miku had been officially together. Even though Nino was busy with Miku by his side, there was plenty going on with the other members…
SIDE STORY 2: Unexpected Catch
Ohno walked alone down the sidewalk towards his favorite spot by the river. He had taken Miku there once before, but he hadn’t had a chance to go down there anymore, especially to fish. The sun was going down as he placed his poles and other things on the ground. He noticed another person dressed in jeans, a t-shirt, and a cap pulled low over their face. Ohno noticed the bucket beside the person and saw that they had caught a good number of fish.
Ohno was impressed as he called out to the stranger, “Hey, looks like you know what you’re doing, got some tips?”
“Haha, I wouldn’t say I’m that good, I guess the fish here like being caught by me,” the stranger joked.
Ohno noticed the stranger had a slight frame and a voice that wasn’t very deep. Then the stranger tilted up the brim of their cap slightly to reveal a young cute face with honey colored eyes glinting cheerfully staring at him. Ohno figured that it was a young adolescent boy by the sound of his voice and by his petite figure. Ohno and the boy excitedly discussed all of the different fish they each caught while they watched their lines for any sign of a bite. All too soon it started getting late and they parted their ways promising to meet again at that river.
The next night when Arashi met, they all decided to go out and eat together since it had been awhile since they had.
“Sorry guys I have somewhere I need to be,” Ohno apologized.
“Why are you blowing us off? Well, actually I think I already know the answer…” Sho asked before trailing off.
“Fishing!” the guys all chorused along with Miku and Rin.
Ohno let out a chuckle before admitting to it, “Your right, but I also have to meet someone.”
“You’re meeting someone? One of your fishing buddies I presume,” Jun asked.
“We can’t really expect him to meet a girl, especially with his lack of interest,” Sho joked.
“Well, I met this pretty cute kid the other day and we really got along so we were going to go fishing again,” Ohno explained.
“Just don’t turn into a pedophile!” Nino joked as he poked Ohno’s cheek.
Ohno just laughed before saying his goodbyes and heading off to the river to meet the young boy again. When he arrived the young boy was already waiting and had his line in the river. He waved at Ohno with a big smile on his face. Ohno waved back before placing his things down and getting his line ready to cast.
“How’s it today?” Ohno asked before casting his line over the railing and into the river.
“Not many bites today, take a seat, it might be a long night,” the kid joked as Ohno leaned against the railing next to the boy.
Ohno was only slightly taller than the boy and figured he’d be quite taller once he hit puberty. Then when Ohno tried to recall what his name was, but he realized he never asked.
“So what’s your name?” Ohno asked.
“People either call me Mi or Miko, you can call me whatever you like. What about you?” Miko asked as he turned to face Ohno with a big smile on his face.
“You can call me Ohno, Satoshi, O-chan, Ojii-san, and well people call me lots of things, haha,” Ohno chuckled.
“Cool, I’ll call you an Ojii-san then,” Miku joked, “just kidding I’ll just call you Ohno-kun. I mean I’m pretty sure you’re older than me so I’ll keep the kun attached.”
Ohno nodded his head as he smiled and felt his pole jerk. Their tension rose immediately as Ohno quickly jerked the reel and tried reeling in the fish. Miko cheered him on before the cell phone in his pocket started going off. Ohno reeled the small fish in and turned to see Miku talking with someone on the phone, clearly someone very special by the look on his face. When Miko hung up Ohno asked if he had to leave.
“Yeah, sorry, I have to go meet someone,” Miko admitted before his cheeks turned slightly red.
“Is it someone you like?” Ohno jokingly asked as he poked his shoulder playfully.
“Haha maybe!” Miko laughed before gathering his stuff and running off.
Ohno waved goodbye to him before returning to his fishing
Ohno returned the next night, but Miko didn’t show up like usual. Ohno was somewhat disappointed but figured the boy was with his special someone. Sadly Ohno skipped the usual post-concert feeding to go fishing and so his throat ached slightly along with his heart. It was lonely fishing by yourself when you finally had someone who was as enthusiastic as yourself. Ohno fished in silence for a bit until he heard someone coming closer, someone he could sense was crying. He looked around and saw a woman walking his way, and his vampire thirst started bothering him as he watched her come closer. Honestly he didn’t want to bother such a stranger, but he figured it would be ok just this one time.
“Are you ok madam?” Ohno asked sweetly in his vampire voice.
The woman’s hair was in a short almost pixie-like cut that framed her petite face nicely. Her eyes were slightly swollen and her cheeks glistened from the trails of tears that fell from her eyes. She wore a light blue blouse that exposed her neck and collarbones perfectly. Ohno could tell even under her long white ruffled skirt that she was a petite woman, fragile from all angles. He knew he would have to be careful with her as to not bruise her when he held her.
The woman tried to respond, but Ohno pressed a finger to her lips and said, “Don’t say a word…I’ll make the pain go away.”
The woman became mesmerized by Ohno’s glowing red eyes as he pulled her close, brushing his long fingers across her beautiful neck. He pierced her neck and fed from her, but something was different about her. It felt sweet and rich, so enriching and desirable that he didn’t want to stop. When he pulled away the woman slowly drifted off in his arms.
The next day Ohno was more spacey than usual. Not only was he depressed that his fishing buddy had bailed on him last night, but he couldn’t stop thinking about the woman from the other night. The other members noticed it and gathered around him to make sure he as ok.
“Are you alright, Leader? You’re worrying us more than usual,” Aiba asked concerned.
“Did you do something weird last night?” Sho interjected.
“Are you confused about your feelings for me?” Nino added in before he was smacked on the back of his head quickly by Jun.
Ohno looked them all in the face before answering, “Last night I fed on a random woman, but……it was different. Her blood was…indescribable…”
The others exchanged looks before Jun asked, “Do you think she’s your type? Your Miku in a sense?”
“I don’t know. All I did was feed on her, it’s not liked I kissed her and felt the spark you guys did. I really don’t know who she was or if I should even bother looking for her again,” Ohno admitted as he looked at the other Arashi members for guidance.
“Aiba and I don’t know that feeling. You should ask those two over there,” Sho told him as he pointed to the youngest members.
“Well if you see her again then its fate, but otherwise I think you don’t need to tear the city up looking for her,” Jun answered.
“Maybe you’ll meet her again where you last saw her,” Nino suggested.
Ohno nodded his head and continued to be in a daze as the day went by. Eventually he realized that he was already heading to the river to see Miko again. Luckily he could see from afar the usual trucker cap he wore over his head as he recast his line into the river. Ohno called out to Miko as he hurried his pace to see his buddy.
“I’m happy to see you came back! Yesterday I was really disappointed when you didn’t show,” Ohno admitted as he cast his line out.
“Sorry about that, I went to meet someone, but it just turned ugly really. For some strange reason I guess I was so out of it that I can’t even remember what happened last night past a certain point,” Miko apologized as he explained.
Just then Ohno turned to Miko as a gust of wind took his cap off his head. Ohno’s eyes widened for once in his life as he realized he recognized that face. It was the same as the woman he had been with the other night and when Miko turned around he could see the bite marks on her neck…
