Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Family or Foes

"It was such a long day. So stressful and tiring. Everything stressed me out. Girls falling all over Akisada", I said huffing, but quickly changed when I saw Daozi's expression in the mirror. "From that, to the werewolf girls damn near foaming at the mouth asking about Akisada, to them asking about our love life". As I said that last part I looked up to see the cringe in Daozi's face. "Then it was Akisada telling everyone I'm his girlfriend; Ikuyasha Takahashi word-torturing me every chance he could. But the worst part of it all, was looking over my shoulders constantly. Because I was the only creature that was in their definition of "abnormal" that could possibly taste good." When I looked at Daozi, I could see the smirk on his face. He wanted to laugh, but he also cared about my feelings. I went in my bag to get a piece of paper they gave us about the first semester school trip. In the process of getting the document, I got a papercut. "Oww", I screeched. "I got a papercut and I'm bleeding." I held it up close by the side of Daozi's face. His eyes turned ruby red, and his fangs extracted. "Aeiko, stop get away!", he yelled. "You can't resist me Daozi; or was everything you were saying and doing was a lie?" I teased. "That's the thing, I need to resist you Aeiko. Me being in love with you, and wanting you how I do; even with the will power I have to resist from you, I still wouldn't stop myself from tasting you and making you mine for eternity. It's not just about the will power and thoughts I have when I'm like this that matters, but the will power and thoughts I have when I'm not like this. And considering they are both the same, it's a lose-lose situation for you, because my feelings are the same regardless. So I wouldn't regret my actions at all", he said trying to roll down the window for fresh air. I sat back and start thinking to myself. He really loves me, huh? I looked in the mirror to see was his eyes still red. I never had someone that was this honest with me before. Looking out the window, I thought to myself 'Daozi and Aeiko: Forever'. I blushed at the thoughts I was having. I started to feel that warm liquid between my legs again. Just right then the car stopped right in front of the mansion. "We're here", stated Doazi. He got out, closed the door, and stood there for a minute. After mentally preparing himself to deal with The Kobayashi Boys, he walked to my door and opened it. I got out and walked to the front door of the mansion. Entering my code the door swung open. I walked in the house and headed straight for my room. I got to my room, closed my door, and locked it. I went over to my bed, plopped down, and leaned back. I heard my window open and felt a strong gust of wind. I jumped up, just to see Daozi standing in front of me. "How did you...? When did you..?", I stumbled. "You're so cute when you're speechless", he said. "Besides, I'm different from most humans", he said as he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. Right, I forgot, I thought to myself. I was about to speak, when I noticed that a white piece of paper was slipped under my door. MEETING IN THE DINING ROOM IN 5 MINUTES. THIS MEETING IS MANDATORY, NO EXCEPTIONS!

Great take the little freedom I have left; away, I thought to myself. I showed Daozi the note. I guess he felt the same way; because he rolled his eyes, sighed and said in a childish tone,"Let's go". We walked down stairs and headed to the kitchen. When we got there, everyone was at the table waiting as if we were the special guests. "Now that we all are here, shall we start the meeting?" Akisada asked as he winked at me. Blushing uncontrollably, I nodded my head. I looked over at Daozi in time to see him rolling his eyes and hear him mumbling. "Father is sending someone over from the office to check on us all this week. Even though you are far from it, I want you to be good little children and obey the rules I tell you to..... Kanumara", he said squinting his eyes toward him. "Yeah, whatever", Kanumara retorted back. "From now on, the house is completely shutting down at 9pm. There will be no coming out of your rooms. Dinnertime, everyone is to be at the table at 6. Baths will be taken before 8:30", Akisada said, like a master giving his minions orders. After everyone agreed, we started to leave the kitchen. "Aeiko, could you please stay and help me prepare dinner?", he asked with a sly smile. My Father used to always say, think before you speak. You might as well say I didn't listen because I spoke before I thought. "Yeah sure," I said as I blushed. He opened his mouth to speak, but was quickly interrupted by Daozi. " If you really value Aeiko and her morals, then you should know that studying comes first." What the hell is he talking about, I thought to myself. It's the first day of school; how the hell do I have homework already? Daozi hearing my thoughts looked at me and glared. Taken aback by his expression I nodded my head in agreement with him. Akisada looked at me and then at Daozi. Taking that as an ok to be excused, we walked out the kitchen.

I walked in my room with Daozi on my tail. I turned around and waited for him to close the door. "What the hell was that?!", I tried to scream but it came out as a growl. "Ooh Aeiko, your fangs are starting to show", he said with a smug little smirk on his face. I rolled my eyes and walked over to my bed. There was a white piece of paper on my bed, folded into a tiny square. I picked up the note, and unfolded it to expose the contents that were written on it. 'Roses are Red, Violets are blue. Your blood smells good, but will taste better when I kill you.' I was so shook with fear, that I felt all the blood drain from my face. "Aeiko?!...Aeiko?!", Daozi called. He came up behind me, and read the note over my shoulder. Wrapping his arms around me, he whispered in my ear. "Aeiko, it's ok. I will never let any thing or any one do anything to harm you. Immortal or not". I felt a tear drop roll down my cheek. In a blink of an eye his hand moved so fast, catching the drop before it hit the floor. "It will be alright, I got you now," he said as he dried my face and stood me onto my feet. He wiped away the last trace of my salted body fluid and pecked my forehead. He grabbed my hand and walked me over to the dresser to get dressed for bed... as he was about to step out I grabbed his arm, giving him a look that to me would have said 'No Please , don't go. Stay with me, even if it's just for tonight'. He understood the expression, closed the door and kept his eyes on me the whole time. Usual I would be so uncomfortable undressing in front of anyone.... but at this point I need his eyes to stay on me, for my protection and for my sake. As I took my panties off, I became fully exposed, naked, bare.... right in front of him. His jaw tightened and his manhood was aroused and jumped. I knew what was on his mind.... but only Daozi is capable of being so mannish and serious. He knew that this wasn't the time, so he stood up and turned around to give me privacy. Horrible timing as I felt warm liquid coming down my leg and creating a puddle. I quickly put my clothes on and closed the drawer back. The loud thud coming from the drawer as I closed it, scared Daozi. He quickly rushed to my side and wrapped his arms around me. "It's ok," I stated. I walked over to the bed and I got under the sheets. Daozi flicked of the lights and was at my bedside in a flash. "Daozi, please lay with me until I fall asleep; even if it's for a little while", I whispered. "As you Wish", he replied. He pulled the cover over me and laid on top of it. Trying his best not to let our different temperature in our skin meet. Holding my head on his chest I tried to listen for a heartbeat like I did my with my father when he use to do this; but I heard none... Daozi heard my thoughts, and as of right on que he hummed a lullaby. I started think to myself as I got sleepier, " I've gots to get the hell out of here, soon!"
