“Bou!”
Bou turned around towards the mysterious guy behind him. “Get your hands off the boy.” Bou did what he was told. I put my sunglasses on quickly, my eyes felt like they were on fire. The mysterious guy came out of the shadows; he was wearing tight, ripped, holey jeans with boots and a t-shirt that had Chinese lettering on it. Bou went up to him and whispered something even I couldn’t hear it. I looked at Shou; he looked shocked and looked at me suspiciously. “What’s wrong with me?’ I thought
“Kanon, he must be one of them! I haven’t seen those eyes in centuries.” I could finally hear Bou whisper harshly to Kanon.
“Calmez-vous, Bou.*”
“I am fucking calm Kanon. You seem to not care about this.” Both of their harsh whispering I can hear fully.
“Guys,” Shou finally spoke, “I suggest not talking about it in front of him.”, and brought out his cell phone. Bou sighed and walked his way to the front door, “Shou’s right Kanon. Wǒmen yīnggāi tánlùn zhè yǐhòu*.”
Then he and his gorgeous legs disappeared out in the crowd. I stood there looking at the two men in front of me. Shou still texting and the guy named Kanon staring at me.
“What are you?” Kanon interrogated, “I know you know. Tell me.” I watched him stand straight, and he was comfortable standing still. His eyes intense, his body flawless. ‘No…’ I thought
“Tell me. What are you?” Kanon’s voice said bringing me back to the situation.
My mouth is heavy and it’s hard to open. “I…I’m…a…” Our eyes locked. I found myself shaking, not because of fear, because of those eyes. How many years have they seen? What horror? “I’m going to ask one more time. What are you?” His voice got more intense. “Ah…Kanon take it easy on him…please.” Shou again speaking up for me, touching Kanon’s shoulder. Kanon looked away from me, “Fine. He will speak sooner or later. Just you watch. Or-” Kanon looked back at me, “I can guess? I am a very good guesser.” he said with a smirk. I took a deep breath; “Go for it.” my voice stronger then how I feel. Kanon put on a sly smile, “You have a, to most people; an un-healthy desire.” I stood my ground, ready for the worst. “Kanon…”Shou now looked worried.
“It’s fine Shou. He wanted this anyway.”
Kanon moved closer to me only our faces are inches apart. He smirked, “You’re a blood suckin’ vampire.” The word vampire echoed in my head. ‘How did he know?’ I asked myself. The room around me, even Shou’s and Kanon’s faces started to become blurry.
“Ha! I am a good guesser!” Kanon exclaimed. I looked at Kanon, who was now laughing, and Shou looking at me with concern. I didn’t know what to do. Shou stared at me then smiled.
“I should have known.” He chuckled to himself.
“Well you are naturally born stupid.” Kanon said, poking Shou’s forehead. I did not quite understand. I freaked. “How can you guys be so casual?!” I almost yelled. “What do you mean?” Shou asked. I started to pace. “I mean,…I...Uh…am a vampire and you guys aren’t-you guys…oh really?” I sighed in frustration, and stopped in front of Shou and pointed at him. “Don’t tell me you are a vampire too?” I pointed to Kanon, “And you too?” They both laughed.
“You’re more stupid than Shou.” Kanon laughed at me.
Everything turns purple and black.
“This is too much for me.” I held my forehead, and practically ran out of there.
“He will understand soon…” Is the last thing I hear leaving Aneligical. I went straight to the train going back to Asakusa. I was breathing heavily, form being so…relieved?
‘How?’ I asked inner Ruki.
‘For being relieved? Or what?’ he answered.
‘Both! I’m not the only one anymore.’ I smiled, ‘And I know Shou is nice…and that Kanon character…I bet he is really old.’
‘Goodness Man. Shut up and think.’ He says stroking his chin. ‘There’s probably more.’ My eyes grew wide.
‘Your right! How cool!’ I silenced my inner self and waited for my stop.
“Welcome to Asakusa.”
I jolted up from my sleep. “Oh shit…” I muttered yawning, walking out of the train station and on my home. It was starting to get dark outside, the sun showing its last ray of light.
‘I guess I have been at Aneligical, for a long time.’ I thought to myself getting out my key. I stopped in mid-step and stared at Ayumu Mansion. ‘Still want to live there…’ I thought and walked to my house. I opened my door, happy to see Tako-san, “Tak-” I stopped and stared in disbelief.
“Why are you out of the house?” he was back, my foster father, drunk as hell.
“It’s Saturday, father. I have no school.” I closed the door and walked in my house.
“Shut up, bitch!” I get a nice slap across my face. I fall to the ground holding where he slapped me. I felt blood. He was wearing his infamous brass knuckles, “I only say when you are allowed out! You hear me!?” he practically screamed at me. I started shivering, ‘What did I do wrong?’
“Are you listening to me you piece of Shit?” My so called foster father punched me in the face, and the pain was dull. I can feel it, my eyes tearing up, my face bloody…my mind doesn’t feel a thing.
“Yes, I’m listening to you…”, for some odd reason my voice is weak. He grabs a chunk of my hair and drags me to the kitchen saying, “You disgust me!” I struggled to get free, nothing works, he has a good grasp on my hair. I winced at how rough he was dragging me to the kitchen. My father started laughing, “I’m going to kill you and bleed you dry! I don’t even know why i took in such a worthless, son of a bitch.”
He threw me on the table with his hand on my head.
“Enjoy this.” He whispers in my ear as he pounded my head on the table.
“Please-don’t-…” My voice weak, my head wanting to burst open. ‘Why don’t I just kill him?’ I think as he stops and pushes me on the ground. I can feel my face getting puffy and healing at the same time
‘You know,…I can take over.’ Inner Ruki said casually looking in my eyes. My foster father goes to the sink and gets a kitchen knife. My eyes grew wide.
‘Come on Ruki! Please! I can totally kick his ass!’ Inner Ruki was getting aggressive.
‘No…’ I tried to answer. ‘We-can’t……get……out of con-control….like the last time…’ Inner Ruki rolled his eyes, “Fine…don’t ruin this body.’ He then went away. ‘I really don’t like him.’ I thought about my inner self.
My father walked closer to me inching his way with the knife. I closed my eyes, not wanting to see him cutting me open.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
I opened my eyes in shock. ‘I never get visitors.’
“Uh…hello?”
The voice was so familiar, light, happy and deep. My father stopped. “Who the fuck is that?” he stopped just before the knife was at my throat.
“Ummm…sorry for barging in...the uh door was open…oh my…this house is so-clean-not used to this…”
“Who are you?” my foster father addressing the person who just came through the house. My eyes grew wide.
“I’m Bou. And you are hurting my friend.”
Friend…a word so foreign in my ears, Bou?, a friend? I tried hard to stand up, but my head was still spinning from the episode on the table. “Of course! I’m going to kill this little shit.” He spat in my face, I winced at how gross it was, and how it is saliva was covered in alcohol. I looked up at Bou to see his face, it was really…beautiful, but it was deformed by a face of disgust.
“Now…that’s gross.” Bou said pointing at me. I looked at his eyes pleading. He looked at me staring me down, looking through my soul. “Get out.” My father said sternly putting the knife back on my throat. Bou took his eyes away from mine. “No.” Bou’s voice was low and demanding. My father looked at the platinum blond. “What did you just say?”
“I’m sorry, but you can’t kill the boy.”
“Hm? I can’t? Well to bad. He caused me enough trouble!” My foster father turned and faced me bringing the knife right to my neck and started to slice open my neck, slowly. The knife burned like hell, the blood poured down on my chest in a fluid movement to the beats of my heart. Bou stopped my father’s hand. “No…that’s bad, Mister. Lots of blood like his, brings a whole lot of unwanted people.” My father tried to pull out his hand, but Bou just stood there with a cold smile on his face. “Let go!” My fathers’ eyes were burning with hatred. Bou just smiled and bent down to my father’s level, eye to eye. He touched his face gently and talked in a very deep, seductive voice, “I’m sorry darling, but this boy is very important.” Bou moved closer t his face, “And besides…,” he was now close to my father’s neck, “I am very hungry.” Bou’s lips parted at my father’s neck, his fangs grew. Bou bit him and began to suck his blood. Everything began to turn black and white. I lifted my hand towards Bou; I wanted him to take me away.
The world around me faded in and out, I couldn’t focus. Bou looked at me from my father’s neck, his eyes red with the color of crimson blood. His black and white dress started to get covered in the blood that Bou seemed to have missed from my father’s neck.
‘Finally that bastard gets it…’ Inner Ruki muttered lying next to me, ‘hmmm…your wounds are healing slowly…Oh, well you’re going to be okay, and I’m here for you.’ Inner Ruki smoothed out my hair. I looked at him wanting to puke, wanting to be saved by someone. I needed somebody.
