Chapter 44
"I should've been the one to put it on (Y/N)-chan!" Kanato whined."Reiji, punish that albino!" He ordered.
Reiji sighed at Kanato's childish behavior,
"Even if I punished Subaru, it wouldn't change the fact that he returned Ms.(Y/N)'s piece."
"That's unfair!" The purple-head kept on whining about how he should've returned the girl's piece.
Subaru gritted his teeth, he had enough of Kanato's tantrum.
"Shut up, you spoiled brat!" He punched the wall creating a huge hole in it.
His temper immediately silenced the purple-head but Kanato continued to grumble at his teddy silently.
Kou whistled,
"If Chesha neko-chan sees this, I'd bet she'll get mad at you Subaru~"
The albino clicked his tongue,
"You think I give a damn if she gets mad at me or not?"
Kou studied his face for a moment,
"Well based on your expression, I'd say yes!~"
Subaru shot him an irritated look,
"I don't give a damn about her!"
Kou laughed,
"Whatever you say, Tsubaru*!~"
The albino huffed angrily and turned away from the idol.
Reiji sighed to himself.
Another mess, I have to fix.
Ayato frowned,
Why isn't Mochi-chan waking up?
He kneeled down at her sleeping figure and went close to her ear,"Wake up (Y/N)."
The red-head was about to stand up when he felt a flick on his forehead.
"Don't do that." (Y/N) said bluntly to him.
He widened his eyes,
"O-Oy Mochi-chan!"
Before he could react any further, the girl was hugged tightly by Haru.
"(Y/N), you're awake!" He exclaimed without letting her go.
(Y/N) smiled softly patting him in the back.
The male pulled away giving her his usual grin. She looked at the brothers who have shocked looks, evident on their faces.
"What's up with those looks?" She raised one of her brows at them.
Reiji blinked and cleared his throat,
"Do you recall anything, Ms.(Y/N)?"
The girl thought for a moment and she frowned,
"Everything seems a blur to me." She murmured.
"I understand, you don't need to push yourself. I apologize for intruding this late, we'll be taking our leave immediately."
Ayato was about to protest till Reiji glared at him. Kanato look so desperate to talk to the now awakened girl, but he decided not to.
Laito sighed shaking his head,
"We'll see you at school tomorrow Bitchy-kaichou~"
Subaru was the first to take his leave, Shuu stared one last more at (Y/N) before leaving.
"Chesha neko-chan, you mean you don't remember about-"
Ruki shot a look at Kou which the idol obeyed.
"Remember what?" She asked with a questioning look.
"You fainted at school because you were sick. Kou kept pestering me to visit you so all of us came to your abode. As for the Sakamaki's, I do not know their intentions of visiting you." Ruki lied, making up a reasonable excuse.
Yuma yawned loudly and stretched around,
"Everyone fussed about you. If you ask me, it was really dramatic of them." He played along with Ruki's lie.
"Anyways, get well soon Chesha neko-chan!~ I admit that your sleeping face is really cute." Kou winked.
Azusa stayed quiet, staring blankly at the girl.
"By the way Ruki, I'm hungry! I want vongole bianco for my midnight snack. And good night Chesha neko-chan, I hope you have sweet dreams of me~" The idol left as soon as he said those words.
Azusa followed him, leaving without saying a word. Yuma smirked,
"You better come to school tomorrow Hakucho." He jumped of the window and disappeared. Ruki sighed and teleported back to their mansion.
As soon as they left, (Y/N) faced Haru,
"They're lying about before aren't they?"
Haru nodded truthfully,
"I know nothing gets pass through you, and I know you're lying about not recalling anything before."
(Y/N) stayed quiet and laid back down on her bed, resting her arm on her eyes.
"I was aware what was happening in The Void, I was watching all of you."
Haru widened his eyes,
"But you were-"
"I know, I saw myself attacking all of you. I wasn't able to control my body, all I could do is watch all of you risking yourselves for my sake." She gritted her teeth,
"I couldn't do anything, even though I tried, it wasn't enough."
Haru looked sadly at her,
"(Y/N), it's not your fault, it was that damn phantom and his master Cresselia's fault."
"But still, I couldn't do anything to help!"
The male look stunned, he knew (Y/N) rarely loses her temper and if she did, it was scary.
"I was the weak one there..." Her lips quivered slightly.
He was about to wrap his arms around the girl, but then she continued,
"But... To be honest, I was surprised that all of you came and fight for me. Especially those vampires, they did not hesitate at all to rescue a weak mortal like me."
"Those vampires are really something. I was even surprise myself, at their actions. And I admit that Ayato and I were kinda like... getting along."
(Y/N) laughed a bit,
"You and Ayato, getting along? That's a start."
Haru's gaze turned to the ground,
"But I couldn't help but worry about Celestia-sama, she was the reason why we were able to get out of The Void in the first place. Without her, we would still be stuck there. And now, she's probably battling her own sister."
(Y/N) bit her lip,
"Haru, I think you should know about this."
The male shot her a questioning look and she continued,
"When I was unconscious in The Void, my conscious were still awake somewhere in my mind, that's why I was able to watch all of you. When I was figuring a way to escape, Celeste appeared before me."
"The previous Goddess of Space and Time... The mother of Celestia and Cresselia right?"
(Y/N) nodded at Haru's question.
"The story we all knew from the book, it was only Celestia's side story."
"Celeste told me Cresselia's side story using Cresselia's memories stored in her own tear necklace." (Y/N) touched Haru's forehead to pass Cresselia's memories onto him.
Haru's emerald orbs widened in shock,
"All this time, it was all just a misunderstanding that caused a feud between the sisters. But I couldn't help but blame Prince Tyron for this. He separated those two siblings breaking their bond and trust."
"Prince Tyron didn't realize he was separating the twins slowly, he always bring Celestia around with him.
Causing Cresselia to be alone, she wasn't jealous of Celestia, but jealous that she couldn't be with Celestia every time like they used to."
"But I recalled that Cresselia ever told Celestia that Celeste always favored her more." Haru said.
(Y/N) shook her head,
"It was all in Cresselia's head, Celeste loved them both dearly."
"When Celeste died, it broke her heart to see her daughters fought each other. She wanted to do something but her power is limited because she's only a 'perished Goddess'."
"You can do something about it right? You can help bring peace to both sisters."
(Y/N) shook her head at Haru's statement.
"Celeste told me not to interfere with the two warring siblings. Within time, she believed those two will get along again."
"But how would those two get along if there's no one there to guide them both together?"
"I believe in Celeste's words. Time always change us. I believe it would also change for them."
The male still doubted the girl's words but nodded anyway.
"But (Y/N), why did you agreed to let Takeshi take you to The Void?"
(Y/N) stayed silent for a minute then she sighed,
"I was... desperate, I was desperate looking for an answer." She repeated twice. "But now I'm satisfied with the answer I got, thanks to Celeste." She smiled slightly to herself.
Haru examined the girl slowly.
Don't tell me... (Y/N) got her ability to love again?
He watched (Y/N) walked to the balcony and he followed her.
"The reason Celeste appeared before me is to answer my desperate question. She showed me what love is, and now I fully understand it."
The sun began to rise slowly from its peak,
"I finally understood what Mommy meant when she loves me. And whenever I think about her, it brings me at ease because I know I was loved not just by her words but it was also shown in her actions."
The male smiled at her,
"Then tell me (Y/N), what is love?"
The girl faced him, the light coming from the sun shone at her.
"Love has different meanings, and it can be shown in various ways. It can also bring pain and sorrow to others. But the way I see it, is how we mold our own love. Each one of us holds our own meaning of love. So there is no the true definition of love. Since we have our own different definitions for it."
Haru is stunned to see (Y/N) giving her real smile, the smile he rarely sees.
Looks like I'll be confessing my feelings to her sooner than I expected.
"I also feel that I owe a debt to those vampires, I've decided that-"
"You've decided that you wanted them to find their own happiness and love don't you?"
(Y/N) nodded and unknown to her, she was actually doing the job of Eve. To teach "human feelings" to the vampires.
-------------------------------------------
(Y/N) came earlier to school before the sun sets to do her early paperworks. She's now at the council room with Haru and he gave her the creamy letter she got a few days ago.
"I already opened mine. Karlheinz congratulated me for being in the 2nd rank in the exams. After I read the letter, the words glowed and I thought it was a trap. But turns out, he gave me a gift." Haru said and he summoned a new katana.
"I've never saw a kind of sword like this, the blade is thin which is lighter than most swords. It's pretty swift too." He swung it back and forth revealing incredibly fast strokes.
"Where's your previous katana that I gave to you Haru?"
The male smiled sheepishly at her,
"It shattered during my fight with Takeshi."
"I hope that katana given by Karlheinz-san wouldn't break easily. I recalled all the katana's you shattered during your training."
Haru chuckled,
"I hope not, this katana he gave is pretty neat."
(Y/N) opened her letter.
As expected, the first rank goes to the Kaichou herself. Congratulations (Y/N), enjoy this bouquet of roses, I chose them myself.
The letter glowed and disappeared, it was replaced by a bouquet of black roses. (Y/N) blinked while staring at the bouquet in her arms.
"Perfectly bloomed black roses, those are very rare (Y/N)." Haru commented.
Suddenly, everything turned darker than usual and it covered the whole school. (Y/N) looked at the huge glass windows and she saw that the sun had set before, it was now replaced by a full moon in the dark sky.
The moon glowed eerily red which caused Haru to raise one of his brows,
"That's odd, no one ever mentioned a lunar eclipse will be happening."
(Y/N) widened her eyes as a flash of broken images appeared in her mind.
Nii-san...
I know.
She dropped the bouquet of roses and her hands shook nervously. Haru was immediately next to her side,
"What's wrong (Y/N)?" He asked worriedly.
"I saw something... in my mind, but it was only for a second. There were 2 males, standing outside to what seem to be a castle. I couldn't identify their faces, but I remember one of them has long hair."
Haru frowned and forced a smile,
"Don't worry, maybe that's just your mind playing tricks on you."
(Y/N) nodded slowly, but she couldn't shake her thoughts off those two males she saw in her mind.
-------------------------------------------
"Hmph. Nii-san, what business do we have in the Ningenkai*? They're just filthy mortals. The lowest and weakest of all races." The male crossed his arms, a huge frown on his face.
His older brother had his eyes closed, then he reopened his eyes revealing his golden orbs.
"We have to find the last survivor of our race. Unfortunately, he/she is living with those mortals."
The younger brother inhaled the air deeply,
"Finally, freedom at last. Also, I can smell her scent nii-san, the last survivor is a girl."
"Go get her Shin." The older brother ordered.
Shin smirked turning into his wolf form.
"I'll see you later Carla nii-san."
Carla watched his younger brother ran swiftly through a forest.
His golden orbs glared back at the moon,
"You've underestimated me Vampire King, your barrier around my castle weakened due to the Lunar eclipse."
