Gentle ray of the sun along with the slight breeze of the wind. Curtains dancing from side to side as the wind blew.
A human figure appeared to be lying on a white bed. Her eyes were closed shut as her entire figure was covered by a white cloth.
Abruptly, the girl's eyelids twitched. She then opened her eyes and the first thing that came into her vision was white ceiling and the breeze of the wind.
Strangely, it wasn't cold yet warm. Reminiscing her of the warm, summer breeze.
The girl raised her upper body and scanned the room as her pupils moved from left to right.
Windows by her side with white curtains, white walls, this room was your ordinary infirmary room.
Her gaze then stopped at a peculiar young man who was sitting next to her, her left side to be exact.
His face was gentle and hid many secrets. His thin appearance made him look weak yet the girl felt that this young man was more than that.
His eyes were shut as he sat with his arms crossed. He leaned to the wall at the same time.
Instead of using curtains to separate each room, the school decided to build a wall separating each room.
The girl didn't know who this young man was, one thing for sure was that he's the one who saved her.
That much was enough for her to remember.
The girl, Kuroda Aya, shifted her line of sight out the window. Wind greeted her the moment she did that.
She savored the moment as the edge of her lips curved up.
Her hair fluttered in the air and the scent of her shampoo traveled in the air before ending up to the young man's nostrils.
Perhaps because of that or the wind, the young man opened his eyes.
Seeing her smile was the first thing that came into his vision. He was slightly speechless.
"You're up, take you long enough."
Kuroda turned her face and her smile disappeared. A sense of guilt lingering in his heart. He shouldn't have done that.
Her gaze was that of disdain, the same as the moment when she looked at him at the school gate.
"Do you have a grudge against me? Or something in the past?"
Kuroda pinched her cheek and stretched it before finally releasing it, "sorry, what face I'm making just now?"
"You don't even know what expression you're making?" One of Narukami's eyebrows raised.
"Pfft, ahaha! You're a strange one, Kuroda-san!" He tried to endure his laugh but burst out in the next moment. Showing his white teeth as he laughed.
Kuroda tilted her head to the side. Wondering if she said something wrong.
As strange as she may seem, Narukami didn't probe it.
Shortly thereafter, after his laugh to be precise. Kuroda bowed down, causing her head to almost touch the bed and said her gratitude, "thank you, um…"
"Narukami Shinra, Narukami is fine."
"Thank you, Narukami-sama."
She raised her head and her hair followed.
"Sama? That's a bit too much, calling my name is fine," Narukami said.
"Then my lord."
"That's worse."
"My saviour?"
"Denied."
"My Prince?"
"Too cheesy."
"My father."
"I don't remember buying any milk."
"My dad."
"Your mom calls me daddy too."
"My liege."
"Too edgy."
"My…"
"Stop, hold on." Narukami quickly extended his right arm and opened his palm wide open.
"Can't you call me by my normal name?"
"I can't as you saved me. Because of my current situation, I can't possibly follow you around like an obedient dog so the least I can do is call you with the utmost honorific."
So in short, because Narukami saved her. She wanted to call him Lord, master, saviour, and whatnot.
Furthermore, if her situation was allowing it, she wouldn't hesitate to be his dog? Henceforth, he tried something to make sure.
"Before I say anything, would you bark if I told you so?"
"Woof, woof."
Yup, this girl just lost her mind.
Narukami rubbed his glabella. Pondering what he should do next. At this point, he might have to oblige with her word.
Out of the blue, something slid through his mind.
"Kuroda-san."
"Call me by my first name, Master!"
Is she possessed? Narukami thought to himself.
The ones he often met were different! Like two different people! If she changed her hairstyle and put on a bit of make-up.
Then showing up with this side of her, Narukami wouldn't know if this was her!
"Well then, Aya."
Kuroda, no, Aya can feel her heartbeat increase. A boy of her peers called her front name with not much difficulty.
She touched her left chest but soon, her expression changed dark.
That's right, I offer my heart to that man…
.
.
"Aya? Is something wrong?"
She shook her head.
"Then, there's something I want to talk about. It's related to your heart."
"Un, you probably discover that when trying to save me. No point in hiding it I believe. Yes, I have no heart."
"How are you still alive?"
"There is a connection between my body and my heart."
"Do you mind telling me who did this to you?"
"It doesn't matter, I can't get it back. That man is far beyond my reach. Master, will you hear your pitiful servant's request?" She requested with pleading eyes. One might feel something from those eyes, though, to Narukami, it did not affect him.
"Go ahead."
"Sell your heart to me, Master."
"What?"
He got up from his seat.
Whoosh!
Strong blew of the wind hit the curtains, causing them to lift for a few seconds before descending, returning to their original position.
Narukami slightly increased his guard, causing the room temperature to change. Aya's mouth trembled and a blue, biting cold surface started to spread on the wall near the window.
He can't control cold but he can control heat, indirectly of course.
Despite the sunlight giving the earth the necessary brightness and warmth.
The earth has what it was called a season, the latter has more advantage as outside was so cold that warm water could turn to snow-like particles within seconds.
"I will pay no matter the price! I will even become your sex slave! You can do anything to me!" She leaned forward as she took a step forward. Causing Narukami to move back to avoid bumping her.
Although she was wearing her uniform, it was messy. Some of her buttons, the top ones especially, were unbuttoned.
Whether she did that intentionally or not, Narukami doesn't know.
He can see her breast from above and her pink bra.
Realizing that she can't kill him, nor anyone around him hiding to ambush him.
Narukami increased the heat by covering the window with electric particles.
Blocking the cold, the electric particles then circled the room at the speed of sound.
Their distance was quite close, Narukami could feel her breathing on his cheek.
He shifted his line of sight to Aya. Next, he touched her small shoulders with both hands and pulled her back to her bed.
"Please calm down, Aya. First of all, someone's heart is not something that can be pulled out like Lego bricks!
Second, someone can't live without one.
Third, it will be hard for me too!"
Narukami let go of her shoulders and went back to his seat.
"But you're different, master! You're a powerful vampire! You can live without your heart!"
Narukami faintly squinted his eyes.
"A vampire? No such thing exists. You watch too many movies, Aya."
Aya gently shook her head.
"I hired someone to know more about you. l am certain what that person said is the truth!"
Narukami pinched his chin as he wondered about something.
"Why did you dig for information about me in the first place?"
True, no one in the school knew of his true identity; he often lay low and didn't make any ruckus.
What part of him led this beauty to scavenge information about him?
"I know this sounds ridiculous and foolish. I know you're a vampire from a dream, still, I wasn't sure. Thus, I hire someone."
Dream was a mysterious thing that even science can't explain.
In it, one perhaps experience unexplainable things, one perhaps see the future.
Though, regarding the latter, it'll be hard to tell if it was going to come true or not.
"A dream?"
Is it that simple? Narukami thought to himself.
"Can you tell me more about your dream?"
"Besides a vision about you giving me your heart. I see someone sitting on a chair."
Aya recalled, white figure of a human sitting on a chair with lofty aura around him.
"Someone on a chair?"
His stomach felt like it was being rolled right after hearing the word.
"Un," she nodded, "it said to send his regards to you."
"Send his regards?" Narukami's expression changed to that of anger. His mouth twitched.
"That bastard… Is he playing me?" He slightly groaned.
Narukami looked downward as his face turned grim. His blood was boiling and it was a miracle he didn't burst out of rage.
"You know him?"
"An old friend of mine. To make sure, who is his name?"
He was the one who reincarnate Narukami into this world. Why on earth would he intrude into her dream? Wait, no, Narukami knew exactly why.
Aya recalled her dream but the dream wasn't as clear as she thought. It was blurry.
Moreover, the more she recalled it, her mind would think about something else. For instance, food for tonight, dessert, midnight snack, random thoughts like doing perverted things with Narukami.
She chose to give up as she sighed disappointedly.
