At night, Sky's room, Sky's is sitting on the floor alone at a corner of his room… sulking.
"Master, anything bothering you?" A voice coming out from under the table, it's Flash, Sky's sword.
"Flash… Am I really an idiot?" Sky asked his sword.
"Uh… I want to answer no but…" said Flash.
"So I am an idiot after all." said Sky
"But Master, you are an idiot…uhm…in a good way." said Flash, trying to comfort Sky.
"Seriously…That doesn't change the fact that I'm an idiot." said Sky.
"Master…"
"Because this idiocy, I almost caused a big mistake… I always thought that he is just a bloodline of an ordinary vampire, if I would have known that he might be the bloodline for that almighty Dracula, I will certainly not acting so ruthless." said Sky, a bit self blaming.
"You can't really blame yourself for that, Master. Even Chris-sama doesn't know about that when he saw Itsuki-kun. Moreover this sort of 'fake Dracula' cases had happened so frequently that it is easier to think that Itsuki is just another ordinary vampire bloodline that will yet become an experiment subject for the Gospeler like the others." The words from Flash put Sky into a silent state for a few minutes.
Then, he speaks again.
"That reminds me of the previous victims that we failed to save and end up turning into some mindless monsters, which leave us no choice but to finish them off." said Sky.
"So instead of letting him fallen to an experiment subject it's better for him to die in the hand of a killer huh?" said Flash.
"Ah… Luckily he survived… And Chris told me to protect him… Chris…*clench his fist*…" "Worry about Chris-sama?"
Without saying anything, Sky punched the wall, caused a crack on it, then it's the dead silence thorough the whole night until the next morning when Sky finally decided to give Itsuki a visit.
Chapter 28 – That Idiot.
Afternoon, a coffee house near the college…
"I know it's weird to suddenly call you here, but there are a few things I'm concerned about." said Sky.
"Is it about Shuiichi? Chris san had told me about yesterday through the phone." said Itsuki.
"Yes, can you tell me anything about him? In detail." said Sky.
"He was a business partner for Uncle Seito, but after some incident, his company bankrupt and thus Uncle Seito recommend him to work for my father in his newly created company, then after my parents passed away, he had become my butler and taking care of me since then." said Itsuki.
"Okay… and one really sensitive question…uhm… If one day you died without any heir, who is the one that will be in charge and take over your father's wealth?" Sky asked.
"It will be Uncle Shuiichi…Wait! What exactly you are trying to let me know?" Itsuki asked.
"Ah… Have you suspect who is the one that hired the killers to kill your parents and now you?" Sky asked back.
"No…Not really…Wait! No! You are not saying that…."
"That's what Chris told me yesterday before he….*suddenly quiet*…"
"Did anything happened to Chris san?" Itsuki asked.
"Not anything serious actually. Anyway you need to be extra careful when you get home…" said Sky.
"Alright, although I don't believe what you told me just now, but I will."…
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In an unknown place, Chris is on a bed unconscious with some heavy and complicated medical equipment. A black-haired lady is at his side seemly crying.
"I shouldn't have allowed him to do that… this is all my fault…"
"No, Rei, don't blame yourself so much, we all know how stubborn he is."
"But still…I'm the one that helps him to do that.."
"Rei…"…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Itsuki had reached home, but something seems off, usually Shuiichi will greet him at the door, but today, he didn't see him. Out of curiosity, Itsuki went to Shuiichi's room, as he opened the door, a gruesome sight greeted him. Shuiichi is found dead near his working table, with two tiny but gruesome bite mark on his neck…
