Chapter 8: Dinnertime

Hours have passed and school has ended. After school is over, the Sakamakis, Yui, and Jera traveled back home in the limo. Once they arrived home, Jera was soon bothered by Laito who keeps on hitting on her while strolling in the halls, but thankfully, Subaru came in and told him off. Thus, making him leave in annoyance. Afterwards, Jera went to her room where she changed her school uniform to her a silk white crop top and silk white shorts with fuzzy grey socks. She then continue fixing her watch while listening to "Moo" by Doja Cat.

"Bitch I'm a cow, bitch I'm a cow, I'm not a cat, I don't say meow. Bitch I'm a cow, bitch I'm a cow, bitch I'm a cow, bitch I'm a cow. I go moo!"

As she was singing and humming the song while doing a little dance as she fixes her watch, she heard her phone buzzing against the desk. Jera picked up the phone and smiled warmly when she saw one of her boyfriends' name on screen. It's Hiroomi.

"Hey babe.~" He playfully cooed.

"Hi daddy.~" She teased back making him chuckle.

"Stop!" He chortled and Jera giggled along with him.

"Is that what I'm think you're listening to?" Hiroomi asked curiously as he hears Doja Cat music in the background.

"Yup." She chuckled sticking her tongue out with no shame making him chuckle.

"So silly." He chuckled.

"Boi it's my kind of music cuz I'm random as hell!" She retorted.

"Hehe yes, yes, I'm aware of that. How's that watch going?" He asked curiously.

"I'm working on it, so far I'm trying to put the insides of it for past minutes now. How's the literary club?" She asked.

"Good, I've been teasing Akkey and Mirai all day." He replied. She rolled her eyes but grinned.

"Of course you were." She said.

"Yeah, but I missed you most of all. How's everything in this new dimension so far?" He asked making her cringed in response.

"Ehhhhhhh it's okay." She awkwardly replied.

"Let me guess, new people?" He assumed.

"Sadly yes, but don't worry. I'll be back as soon as I fixed my watch." She reassured. Suddenly she heard the music stopped when Jera turned her head to see Reiji standing at the doorway with his arms crossed and a frown, who happens to be the one who turned off the music.

"Hey I was listening to that!" She yelled with a scowl.

"Not anymore, dinner is ready." He reminded her making her sigh.

"Fine." She sighed and turns back to Hiroomi.

"Hey Hiroomi, I'm gonna call you back later. I'll be getting some food." She told him.

"Alright, see you later Jera." He said.

"Bye." She replied as he hung up, Jera tucks her phone in her pocket of her velvet robe and slips her feet under her lavender slippers. She then left the room with Reiji as Jera follows Reiji to the dining hall, but while strolling through the halls, Reiji became curious about her background so he decided to ask her.

"Jera."

"Hm? Yes?"

"I'm quite aware that you're a time traveler who came from another dimension, but I must ask, what made you become a time traveler?" He asked. Jera grinned when he asked.

"Well, it's always been like this during my entire life. Like I said before, I was raised in a royal family where my parents are king and queen of the time world." She explained as she grinned at the fond memories of her parents. Reiji looked stone-faced but decided to listen further. Soon they climbed down the stairs while Reiji listens to Jera's story.

"I adored my parents and what they do. I even became mesmerized by their tales of how they met and how they became fascinated with time and how they travel different dimensions. They even told me how they became rulers of the time world so they can make sure that time and space is in control. They're such hardworking but loving parents, so I decided to follow their path and learn the basics to the intermediate studies of time so I can become a time traveler like them." She explained furthermore and for the first time Reiji became intrigued by her story.

"So that's how you avoid from getting bitten. Hmph, I couldn't say I'm that surprised. It makes sense on why Ayato hates you." He stated.

"Oh yeah, I certainly noticed. He's been threatening me to mind my business the whole day." She told him.

"Why yes, I could even hear him ranting next door from in my room. It was honestly quite aggravating, so I move to another room." He explained.

"Damn, he really doesn't know when to quit." She monotonously spoke with a deadpan look.

"Ayato doesn't like when things don't get his way. Even when someone defies him, he won't hesitate to break them until he gets what he wants." Reiji explained.

"Wow, so childish." She remarked.

"Childish indeed, I always have to keep him on check especially that mortal girl that Ayato's been constantly bothering with. I also have to deal with those two brats Kanato and Laito as well; including Subaru. Ugh he's such a pain and that deadbeat doesn't help my case at all. All he does is lying around and acting like a lazy punk." He ranted. Jera didn't seem to be bothered by his rants and kept on listening.

Well...he's not lying about Shu, he does love to sleep a lot, but deadbeat is a strong word to describe him. Do he and his brothers not get along?

Jera thought curiously while strolling beside him.

"Seems like you guys don't get along." She assumed and Reiji sighed and nodded.

"Unfortunately, neither of us don't get along because we're different from each other." He told her. Curious, Jera was about to ask about his brothers, but was cut off when Reiji spoke.

"Speaking of which, we're here." Reiji said as Jera turns to see the five brothers and Yui sitting in their table where Yui smiles and waves at Jera. On the other hand, Ayato turns to Jera shooting her with a strong glare while Kanato is playing with his teddy bear and Laito was staring at Jera with flirty and lustful eyes. Shu is slouching in his seat and Subaru doesn't really care and turns away when he saw Jera. Reiji glanced at Jera.

"We'll discussed this later." He whispered to her ear as Jera nod and went to her seat. Luckily, she doesn't have to sit between Laito, Kanato, or Ayato. At least she's fine sitting between Shu and Subaru since they're the only people who are sort of decent in her opinion.

While everyone's eating their supper, Jera tries her best to ignore the triplets. Though she feels bad for Yui since she has to sit next to Ayato who is intimidating the hell out of her. Things get even worst when she felt someone crept behind her and she sighed knowing who it is.

"Fox-chan, you looking so sexy in that robe of yours.~" Laito complimented leaning is face against her cheek making her slightly cringed and kept on eating while ignoring him. Then he did something that left her off-guard yet unsurprised.

"How about we take a closer view on what's under there?~" He cooed as he was about to put his hands on her shoulders, but she immediately grabbed his wrist and gripped his wrist tight.

"This is not the time and place to do these type of things; especially when there are people in front of you." She warned, but Laito chuckled softly.

"What's wrong with a little scene? We can do it right now and show them how much I can make you scream for me.~" He whispered into her ear making her cringed.

"I rather stab you with this fork than letting you rape me asshole." She bluntly retorted.

"You can try, but I highly doubt that I'll die from it." He dared with a sly smile making her very irritated.

This guy I swear...

Right before she's about to punch this pervert, suddenly Jera heard a silverware clang against the table and she glance up to see Reiji glaring at Laito.

"Laito, it's not polite to speak Jera in such an inappropriate manner." He scolded.

"Oh? Are you falling for Fox-chan?~" He asked with a smirk.

"I do not, now please sit down." He demanded making him rolled his eyes.

"Fine Reiji." He sighed, but glance at Jera with a frolic smile.

"But we can have our fun later my fox-chan~" He cooed as he walks back to his seat with a shameless seductive smirk.

In your dreams perv.

She thought rolling her eyes slightly annoyed with his advances. As she was about to continue eating her food, she caught Ayato staring at her with a scowl.

"Um yes?" She asked looking very annoyed, but the redhead let out a "Tch" and turns away. Feeling insulted, Jera furrowed her brows at him.

Okay, I'm sorry I'd asked.

She thought glaring at Ayato as she turns back to her plate and eat her food. An hour has passed and dinner has ended. After everyone left and went separate ways, Jera was strolling in the halls heading upstairs back to her room until someone grabbed her wrist and dragged her across where she was slammed against the wall.

"Ow the he-" She soon paused her words when her eyes met with the rebellious redhead's emerald eyes. Irritated, she lets out a sigh and cross her arms.

"What do you want Ayato?" She asked irritably where she is not in the mood of talking to him. Ayato glared down at the lilac haired time traveler as he grips his hand against the wall above her head.

"You think you're able to get away of defying Oresama like that with your time powers?" He spat, but she remained unfazed by his arrogance.

"Honestly, you gotta be careful what comes out of your mouth. Cuz all I hear is Oreosama which I don't know what that is or what that means. Whoa!" Jera yelped when he slams his fist to the wall out of annoyance.

"Don't avoid my question! How the hell am I supposed to make you obey Oresama if you kept on freezing and slowing time out of nowhere?!" He yelled, but Jera shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly with a blank look.

"You can't, cuz I can control time just like how my mom and dad controls time. You and your brothers may own this house, but trust me, I am not the type of girl who would stand down that easily and you have no idea what I'm capable of. Now excuse me, I have a watch to fixed. Good day sir." She boldly stated as she pushed Ayato away and marched upstairs leaving him behind.
