Chapter 7: A night visit
Natsumi-san calmed down and it was also about time for Ai to go back but before going she put a "lucky charm" on me. I think she forgot the fact about me telling her that she is not my girlfriend but I can't really complain can I? Natsumi-san went to sleep again and we were told that we can be discharged tomorrow which is a relief. Both of us will be missing two days of school and after that it is Sunday. Holiday, yaay.
The food in the hospital was so nutritious that I didn't really want to eat it but a glare from Natsumi-san was enough to straighten me up though she herself did not touch her food. This is a perfect example of misuse of power and hypocrisy.
It was the night and my bed was next to the window so I looked out at the night sky and I can just say one thing... it's beautiful. While seeing the amazing sight, I thought I saw something but it was no way it was possible. Yes, right?
"Kazuki-kun~" I heard an alluring voice whisper in my ear sending chills down my spine from the sudden contact of the air with my ear.
"For god's sake don't sneak up on me like this," I said to the white-haired beauty was standing before me.
I looked at the window and it was now open. If I am correct I am on the second floor so...she jumped up here. I have no other logical explanation of it taking into consideration who she is. Oh...this was how she got in my house, I leave the window open to let the air in at night so she exploited that fact.
"Hehe, but I can't help it. Seeing Kazuki-kun all flustered is a sight to behold," she said giggling.
"I am pretty sure you did not break in here just to see me flustered."
"Maybe that is why I actually came," she said tilting her head innocently. Don't give me that.
I let out a sigh and sat up straight. There was still some pain but it was a lot more bearable. I placed the pillow straight to support my back and Ai decided to sit at the side of the bed. She crossed her legs and was humming some tune while rocking back and forth.
She leaned back and placed her head on my lap. It was cold but I did not mind it.
"Hmm, Kazuki-kun is so warm. I cannot wait to sleep with this warmth enveloping me," she said as her face's muscles were relaxed.
"What do you mean by that?" I questioned her anxiously.
"Isn't it obvious? Since I will be protecting you, you have to stay close to me," she said facing me. Her emerald and ruby were glowing faintly adding to her beauty in this lightly lit room. "So I have already moved all your stuff to my house. I have already talked to your landlady about the matter."
I wanted to protest but I knew it was pointless. There was no way she would listen to me and would insist for her to live with me which is not possible because that apartment is only for single people. The landlady made it clear on the first day and I was in middle school back then. I understood why in a different way later which I shall not talk about that experience.
I just nod my head knowing that tomorrow I will be taking a step into an unknown place where I will be living for how long? I have no idea about it.
"So you came here to make sure I am safe?" I asked her.
"That too," she said and I eyed her suspiciously. Her face turned to a slight shade of red. "I...wanted to see Kazuki-kun again because I missed him."
I was a bit taken back by this extremely innocent and cute reply from her. Heck, I even wanted to lightly pat her head for this. What is this destructive power? Is this the power of a half-vampire?
"Ai," I called out her name in a low voice and she looked at me. "What is it you really like about me? As much as I know, I never even talked to you once before you started following me. Why are you so persistent to protect me while you can just drink my blood and get more powers? It just doesn't make—"
I was stopped with her cold finger on my lips. They were really soft, as soft as the smile she had on her face.
"I love Kazuki-kun because he is an amazing person. He knows he that might be powerless against a strong foe but still tries his hardest to save his loved ones. The human I fell in love with is extremely kind and caring. Do I need any more reason?" she said sitting up straight and climbed on top of me. No, not now.
"How do you know all this?" She giggled at my question.
"You may not know, but I have been noticing Kazuki-kun from way back. I will tell you everything in due time, till then just believe in me. I love you and that fact will not change at all. It is the truth. Here," she said and then held my head.
The next thing I knew, I felt something soft and cold next to my ear. I heard something, beating, really fast. I looked up to see Ai's flushed face. Even she was embarrassed to do this.
"You can hear it right? My heart going crazy," she said and gently started stroking my hair. "I am so close to Kazuki-kun right now that my heartbeat is going crazy. I have never felt this way about anyone else."
"What if it is just your vampire instinct because of my blood?" I said some harsh words to confirm something. "My blood is special you said, right? It is also really delicious so maybe that is why your heartbeat is crazy. Maybe you just want to dig your teeth in my neck and suck all my blood. Think about it Ai."
I waited and there was no response from her but her heartbeat slowed down and I could feel it. She was sad from hearing this. I just wanted to confirm that what she said was actually the truth or not. If she was lying and really was taking advantage of me, her heartbeat should have been even faster because I said, "Think about it" at the end. Just imagining those things will be enough to make her heart race if she gets excited about it. I mean, I am no vampire expert but I think that is how is she supposed to react. But she didn't, meaning that...
I gently wrapped my arms around her as I felt a sense of nostalgia flow through me for some reason. I didn't know why it was but I felt so peaceful right now. She was soft that I did not want to let go. Even she is a half-vampire, she is still a girl. As sharp as a knife yet as fragile as a flower. It won't take much for making a girl like Ai go berserk.
"K-Kazuki-kun?" she said when I tightened my grip around her.
"Don't mind me. I am just thinking something Ai. Thank you," I muttered but was loud enough for her to hear.
"Why are you thanking me?"
"No reason," I said digging my face a little more for one last time as I finally let go of her. I looked at her face and it was a bright color or red. "Isn't it time for you to go back now? I like to live in a really clean place."
Her face gradually formed a big smile and she got off me and jumped out the window to the building right in front of the hospital in one majestic leap. If I was taking a picture of it at the right moment, the scene would be enough to make me called a professional photographer. That was how beautiful it looked.
I looked back at Natsumi-san snoring loudly and I chuckled at her. I lay down my body on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Wait, now that I think about it, I agreed to live with her, a girl. What do I do? What do I do?
I didn't think about it back then much but I am actually going to be living with Ai. Argh...I cannot now get my thoughts straight. Calm down Kazuki, calm down. No, it does not help at all. On top of that, how she acts, I feel like I will lose my chastity immediately. I am screwed both the way.
Looking out the window one last time, I decided to close my eyes and sleep. Tomorrow will be a really tiring day.
Tomorrow arrived, and I was standing at the reception checking out, not from a hotel but a hospital. Natsumi-san got better a lot earlier and she was able to leave before leaving me all on my own. Come on, I am a boy of growing age, I get bored when I have nothing to do. Now that I have something to do, I just feel cold, not because of the situation but the person clinging to my arm.
