Ya! It's a new chapter. I think this is my favorite by far. It's also my longest so another yay! Hope you enjoy
Chapter 5- Two Heiwajimas
I slept a dreamless sleep. Thankfully. If I had experienced something like that previous dream, I would have been scared out of my wits to take a step outside.
Glancing at my alarm clock which was positioned on my bedside table, I read the time.
"6:30, Why am I waking up so early?" My classes didn't begin until 9 o'clock. I sighed. It must be stress. Getting up off of the bed, I entered the bathroom. I left the light switch off not wanting to get a headache so early in the morning.
I quickly brushed my teeth. My fangs seemed to like to come out in the morning but it was easy to conceal them later on in the day. Finishing up, I stepped into the shower and let the warm water run on my skin.
It felt good. Turning off the water, I heard a knock from the other side of my dorm room door. Who could that be? Maybe Kida-kun? I wrapped a towel around my waist and exited the bathroom.
Turning to my locked door, I opened it. There was no one there. What the…? It must have been a prank. Just to make sure, I stepped out into the hall to see if the culprit was still in view. I saw no one.
Well, whatever. Walking back into my room, I noticed a small, index card sized, slip of paper on the floor. Picking it up, I locked my door once again. I walked back into my bedroom and dropped the slip of paper on top my desk.
Quickly pulling on a pair of gray sweatpants and a blue hoodie, I sat myself down at the desk and flipped over the card to the side where the words were written. Placing a pair of glasses I wore just for looks on the bridge of my nose (I've gotten use to wearing them in school), I read the contents of the slip of paper.
Written in delicate, curving letters read the worlds:
The Vampire King, Orihara Izaya,
requests the presence of
Newborn Vampire, Ryuugamine Mikado,
and his Sire, Kida Masaomi, for a meeting:
Date: October 10th
Time: Midnight
Place: Hell(Just Kidding ;)) Devil's Playground
I dropped the slip of paper, my hands shaking slightly. "W-What, an invitation to see the Vampire King? But why me?" I recovered from my confusion and picked the paper off of the floor
. Re-reading it again quickly, I grabbed my cell phone and dialed a number I knew by hear, Kida's. It rang once before the blonde picked up the phone. With no greetings, I got straight to the point.
"Did you get the summons?" I asked. Kida said yes. I sighed.
"What do you think it's for? Do you think it concerns the Vampire Hunter?" Confusion laced my words. There was a brief silence before Kida answered.
"I don't know, but it seems that's the most probable reason." He responded sounding sullen. Kida never told me why but I'd always noticed that he hated the mention of Orihara-sama. A lot of people were scared of him but no one hated him.
"I see. It says the meeting will take place on the tenth which is…," I quickly grabbed my calendar and checked the date. "TONIGHT!" I yelled into the phone with surprise. I covered my mouth quickly.
"Oh, God. Sorry, Kida-kun. I didn't mean to yell in your ear." I apologized quickly. I could hear Kida sigh painfully on the other side of the line.
"It's fine. I'm a Vampire, remember?" He reassured me. I could tell he was smiling without needing to see it. "Ah, that good." I turned my attention back to the calendar that was still in my hands.
"I'm scared." I stated simply. I really was. I had no idea what would go on tonight.
"It'll be fine. I swear, if that lying, cheating, irritating, bastardly, sadistic, crappy, arrogant, self-centered jerk tries to harm you in any way, I'll chop his head clean off his neck!" I was shocked silent.
In none of the 10 years I'd known Kida had I ever heard him so pissed off (Yes, Kida has known Mikado since he was 9). Never. It took me a full ten seconds before I could talk again.
"Kida-kun, I've never asked this before because it seemed kind of personal but, what kind of relationship do you have with Orihara-sama?" It seems I should had kept my mouth shut and waited for a moment when my sire was calmer.
"I HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT BASTARD! NONE WHATSOEVER! He decided to cheat on me and I will NEVER forgive him!" I managed to get my question partly answered but not without the expense of having someone yelling painfully into my ear.
It seemed as though Kida and Orihara-sama use to have a relationship closer than just being 'King and Subject'. Kida managed to calm down quickly, knowing his fit was out of place at the moment.
"I-I'm sorry, Mikado." He apologized. I smiled slightly to myself.
"It's fine. At least I know I know you'll be there to back me up tonight." I said happily.
"Of course I will. I've been taking care of you since you were 9 and I'll continue to do so." He said warmly. My smile widened. "Thank you, Kida-kun." I said.
"Mmhm! Oh, aside from all this, I hope school goes well for you today. It may calm you down for the rest of the day. Make sure to pay attention and have fun, okay?" The blonde said turning playful.
"Sure. I'll see you later. Goodbye." I said. Kida returned to the goodbye and we both hung up. Placing the cell phone down on top of the table, I took a deep breath and looked around my room. There was nothing to do so I decided to look over my school work.
School was normal as usual. Well, as normal as it can be even with psycho friends. Enrolling in an Arts college meant that you were bound to meet eccentric people of all kinds. It seemed as though I was no exception.
"Mika-chin! Over here. Come quickly!" I turned my attention to Eccentric Friend #1, Karisawa Erika. She was probably one of the craziest people I've ever met. She's a complete otaku. I mean, totally. To the point where she even mixes manga with reality.
She claims that Kida and I are totally a couple. Erika is also a total fujoshi. She scares me sometime…I walked over to where she was sitting. It was lunch time and it was usually when the rest of the gang and I would usually hand out.
Across from her was Eccentric Friend #2, Yumasaki Walker. Walker and Erika are rarely ever seen apart. It seemed as though they're childhood friends. Walker shares the same love for anime and manga Erika does except for her obsession with yaoi.
Hanejima Yuhei was the next to be seen. Although not eccentric, he was still an oddball. Yuhei is an actor who refuses to give his real name to anyone, not even his friends.
When I had first met him, I was new to college and was attempting to make friends. He had completely ignored me and walked away. Now, he was a tiny bit more talkative and friendly. Just a bit.
"Erika-san, Walker-san, Yuhei-san." I nodded at each of them and smiled. "Hello!" Erika shouted. She stood up from her place on the grass and hugged me. My glasses nearly fell off I patted her back until she peeled off of me.
Walker waved at me with his trademark smile plastered to his face. I was usually there regardless if he were happy or angry. I'd yet to see him mad but based on stories I'd heard from Erika, it was better not to know.
Yuhei simply nodded with a barely audible "Hi" coming from his lips. Erika frowned at this.
"Yu-chin! You have to speak up! Why are you so anti-social?" Erika questioned seriously. Yuhei simply shrugged his shoulders.
"No reason. I just feel no reason to speak at times. And why don't you pester Walker-sempai on how he greeted Mikado-sempai? He said nothing" He questioned back. Erika looked troubled, which was rare.
"Hmph, fine. And the reason is because at least Walker acted friendly instead of looking as though he was being forced to say hi!" I chuckled to myself. Regardless of everything, this fight was a common occurrence.
Yuhei shrugged again and turned his attention to me. "Mikado-sempai, you look bothered. Did something happen?" Despite being seemingly emotionless, Yuhei was good at telling how others are feeling. I was slightly taken aback.
"U-Uh, I'm fine. I've simply just ran into a rather troublesome person recently." I answered. Yuhei continued to look at me but now a certain interest was displayed in his features.
"Really? Who is it?" He continued to ask. This was strange. Yuhei has never talked this much before in one go. I decided I wanted to continue this conversation. So I answered truthfully.
"Mmm, a man named Heiwajima Shizuo." I said. Gray eyes widened in surprise.
"Y-You know my brother?" Yuhei asked, stuttering a bit. Now I was surprised. Brother? This has got to be a misunderstanding. I mean, Yuhei has a brother? And that brother just so happens to be a Vampire Hunter? Impossible!
"Huh? He's your brother?" Yuhei nodded slowly.
"Yeah. My name is Heiwajima Kasuka." I was shocked silent. Oh God, no. This can't be happening. Not now. Erika and Walker who had been quiet all this time decided to speak up.
"Yu-chin has a brother? How cool! How old is he? What's he like?" Erika sprang question after question on the poor raven. By now, my ears were blocking out all sound. I quickly fainted. Weird right? A Vampire fainting.
I woke up with a concerned Kida looking over me.
"Oh my God, are you okay?" He asked.
"What happened? I got a call from Walker-san saying that you'd fainted. I rushed over as fast as I could!" Before I could answer, he grasped me in a full up hug. Though crushing, I was fine with it.
I managed to take a look around the room I was in. I was in my dorm room laid down on the bed while Kida had pulled to chair to sit next to me. I realized we weren't the only ones in the room.
Standing in the corner was Walker, Erika, and Yuhei. It took me a few seconds to remember what had happened before me blacking out.
"Heiwajima Kasuka!" I shouted. Kida's arms unwrapped themselves from me and he turned around abruptly.
"Huh?" He asked. Kida didn't manage to get his answer. Instead, Walker and Erika rushed over to me looking super worried.
"Oh my gosh! I was so worried! I didn't know what to do when you fell to the ground. I panicked when you didn't move." I was now sitting up so she grabbed my hand and cried into my shoulder. Walker stood on the same side as Kida.
"I called Masaomi-san as fast as I could. I didn't know what was wrong." He looked distressed. Kida was sort of upset to have been ignored.
"Ehem, if you don't mind me interfering, I have something I would like to discuss with Mikado-kun." Kida said with a fake cough. A still crying Erika and worried Walker nodded.
"Of course." Walker helped his best friend to the door. Yuhei/Kasuka still hadn't made any move whatsoever. Kida turned his attention to him.
"I'd like to have some alone time with Mikado-kun, please." The blonde said politely. Still, Yuhei/Kasuka didn't move.
"No, because it seems my brother is the cause of Sempai fainting. I want to know why and it seems you'll be discussing him." The raven said simply. Kida sighed.
"Fine."
How was that? Can anyone guess Kida's past? I tried my hand at getting everyone's personality's down even though I've only watched one episode and read half of the first light novel chapter. I hope it was good. Review please!
