Leo: Argh... Reina disappeared again.

Takumi: Yeah, I don't know where she went.

Leo: I guess we'll find her later....

Takumi: Yeah...

Leo: Anyhow, this story now has 1.03k views! Thank you for this suppor! *throws confetti into the air*

Takumi: Leo... Did you just throw confetti in the air?

Leo: ...

Takumi: Okay.... *pushes a plate of cookies to the side* These are for you guys, so you can pick any flavor that's here....

Leo: And we'll move onto the story.

"Leo?" You ask quietly.

He turns around and smirks at you, backlit in the moonlight. "Hello, (Y/N)."

Something was off. He seemed.... Evil, so you began to back away. Leo wasn't having this.

"Why are you leaving, (Y/N)?" He mutters as he approaches you. In a heartbeat, he grabs you and puts his fangs to your neck.

"I hunger for blood..." He whispers before sinking his teeth into your neck. You scream in agony-

- and proceed to fall over.

"Uh.... Are you alright?" A voice asks.

You bolt up and spin around before laying eyes on Takumi. "Back off," you hiss.

Takumi sighed. "You were acting like a vampire was biting you..."

"Was not," you replied stubbornly.

Takumi frowned. "Are you sure?"

You nodded furiously. Takumi seemed to buy it, as he switched topics and looked you in the eye.

"What that girl... Leora, did, was uncalled for."

"..."

Before Takumi could say anything else, you walked away and went to your room. After changing into your night gown, you took a sip of your sleeping potion, and fell asleep.

The next day was horrible.

Xander and Leora ignored you. Elise was asleep in her room, while Camilla was busy. You didn't know where the Hoshidians were, so you ended up hanging out with Cori and Odin. You have no idea how that happened.

"So as I approach my nemesis, I quip, 'Aren't thou impressed by my Superior Swordplay?" Odin rambled. He had been talking nonstop for several hours, and you were about ready to smack him. Cori was half asleep, but he acted like he was listening.

"Uh-huh," Cori muttered, this allowing Odin to ramble more about his exploits.

You sigh and lean back. You couldn't do anything, really. You were low on alchemy supplies, but you were 100% sure that you weren't able to access the cabinet with all the goodies for your experiments. It was times like that you wonder if you should have picked something else, such as knife throwing or swordplay.

"Hey, (Y/N)," Cori suddenly stated, effectively cutting off whatever Odin was saying. "Can you tell us something that you accomplished?"

You blink in surprise, and think for a second. "Well... I was able to brew the Sigma potion."

"Is it a special potion?" Cori asks.

You nod. "Yeah. It's a really hard potion to brew, as the slightest mistake can result in it either blowing up in your face or fizzling out into plain water."

"How does it turn into plain water?" Cori responds.

"I don't know. Magic, maybe."

There's a reason for that, Lamia admonished, but otherwise remained silent. You ignored her and looked at Cori, signaling for him to talk.

As you continued to talk about the potion, Leo walked into the room. You wave hi to him, but he walks right past you. You scowl, and before Odin or Cori could stop you, you get up and stomp towards Leo. You cough, and Leo turns to face you. "Oh, hi (Y/N)."

You didn't answer. Instead, you continue to glare at him.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"You're acting weird," you reply stubbornly.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well..." You began. "You're not talking to Niles, you told Odin to go away, you didn't care that Takumi took your book,  and you're in some sort of weird mood."

Plus, I haven't been able to confess my love to you, you thought silently, to which Lamia scoffs.

Leo doesn't respond. His eyes have a far away look in them.

"Are you okay, Lord Leo?" You ask. "You don't look well, and I'm worried about you."

"I'm fine, (Y/N). In fact, I am better than fine!"

"Why?"

"Because... I'm dating Leora, and I am positive that I am in love with her," Leo stated.

Takumi: *punches Leo* Jerk

Leo: Hey!!!! I didn't do that on purpose.

Takumi: Whatever. Anyway- *transmission gets cut*

Reina: Let's go to the next chapter! *leads the way*
