Chapter 16 - The day of the grand ball. Part 2

" I'm sorry uncle but I won't sell the shares back to you. "

I notice Kazuki's face darken a bit at my words and his father's face looked irritated. He sneered

" and why not? You have no use for them so why not just return them? "

I laugh innocently before responding.

" What a funny question why don't you ask your so son- "

just then Kazuki snaps his fingers and time itself stopped all around us everything was still and quiet, I was in shock since no mage in history could ever accomplish such a task to stop time my mind wanders on how he could possess such a power, I turn towards Kazuki and his grin grew devilishly.

" little sister, it's been a while how have you been? Oh and how about mother? "

Him bringing up mother was the final straw, it was such a disrespect it aggravated me.

" it's none of your business, what did you slip me when I opened that invitation! "

His smile grew bigger.

" so you have noticed a change? "

I stay still, silently glaring at him not willing to give him an answer.

" well, your no fun! It's called love bite. "

( Love bite? I have never heard of it...)

" what does it do and how do you get rid of it, Kazuki you bastard! "

He laughs and begins to walk closer, as he approaches I try to keep a straight face, he reaches his hand out to my face and I turn away from him.

" Love bite is a Nero drug created by the vampires, if one inhaled its effects stay in your system up to 3 months there is no cure it's a waiting game, I would love to tell you the exact side effects but it's different for everyone because it holds back the one thing you yearn for at the time it's inhaled thus where the name comes from 'Love bites '...."

his voice trails off and his fingers touch the covered bites on my neck, I became shocked and my eyes widen, I try to step back but he grabs my wrist and pulls me closer.

" Yuki those bites on your neck, are they from pure blood? "

( How does he know! I covered them well...)

" you didn't let me finish I haven't even got to the best part! "

I swat his hand away and slap him across the face.

" How dare you poison me if I could I would kill you on the spot Kazuki! "

his face darkened at my strike and he speaks in a bone-chilling tone.

" Yuki...I'm sure you have noticed my new power, haven't you? Aren't you a bit curious where I got it from? "

I smirk and speak confidently.

" No, because it doesn't matter to me nothing about you matters to me anymore I disowned you when you killed my Father and Brother! Your such a cruel man Kazuki! "

he laughs hysterically

" I'm going to ignore that for a second and go ahead and tell you before my power wears off! I got it from killing your old man and brother! After I robbed them of their lives I robbed them of their aura and brought it back to the vampires who fused it with their Nero bite research! I would have been able to get more than this if I could have killed you and that whore of a mom! But it's ok it doesn't matter anymore because Everyone who knew about the slaughter of the family doesn't know it's me! Instead, my master Vampire Ikaku replaced their memories making them believe that it was an unknown assailant, and you wanna know the best thing?! I've been asked to join the High Mages Court! And-"

just then his power wore off and the present time continued before he could finish. He quickly cleared his throat and gave a wicked smile my way while he spoke.

" Father little Yuki was just joking weren't you Yuki? "

he smirks and his father nods then looks towards me and I turn my gaze to Kazuki who was staring at Kirito and then back at me.

( Kazuki has powers I don't have much knowledge on and he has us cornered I think it's best if we end this here. I got more intel than I thought, But...)

I grit my teeth and clench my fists,

" of course I don't have any use for them anyway, now I must take my leave Have a goodnight. "

I bow to Tsubasa Sheng and turn to walk out, Kirito follows close behind and we stay silent till we get into the taxi. Kirito was first to break the silence.

" Why did you give them the shares back? "

I shake my head.

"Not here I'll tell you later"

I kept a stern serious face as I look outside the window looking up at the brightly lit sky, I lean on the door and try to assess the situation.

-Kirito-

As she sits in her silence I couldn't help but feel uneasy, the atmosphere felt strange in the car up until we got out, we climb a tree and scale the wall, we enter through the front door Yuki sits down on the couch looking a bit more relieved, I quietly sit beside her and she looks up at me with a troubled look.

-Yuki-

After I explained everything to Kirito he sighs and looks back at me and begins to talk.

" I think we should tell one of the teachers about this, at least then we can have another idea on how to approach this. "

I nod agreeing with him.

" Kirito since he has those powers were no match for him right now, do you think he was brainwashed to do this from that Ikaku vampire? "

he shrugs.

" these days it could be anything it's hard to say if he really was or not but assuming he was there's no telling how in-depth this all really goes, especially for just one person to erase an even then replace it with a false memory, that kind of person is very dangerous, that's someone we have to find and take out quickly or God knows what else could happen. "

I nod in agreement.

" Ya, your right, let's get some sleep I'm beat! "

He smirks and then stands up, before leaving to bed I turn back towards him.

" Thanks, Kirito, if you hadn't come with me I wouldn't have had the guts to go alone so I appreciate it. "

he shakes his head.

" we're partners now it's only natural to look out for each other right? "

His words stung for an unknown reason and I just nod back.

" yeah your right, have a goodnight Kirito! "

I gave him a small smile before heading to bed.
