[CHAPTER 5] Under a cherry tree
The first school day passed by for both humans and monsters. Everyone met new friends and re-encountered old ones.
Exept for one person, who didn't really care about making friends at all, actually, she didn't really care about school in general.
The only interesting thing she could think about was that wolf boy that she sat next to.
She was very suspicious of him and wanted to get more information about the witch.
The witch that is allied with the humans, it was crazy to her: they could easily burn her alive and not care at all, yet they didn't, maybe they truly trusted her, or she was good at acting as a human. Either way, it didn't really matter, since she would be dead before the humans could do anything.
She was her target after all.
But tonight, Maki Harukawa skipped school, even if she needed information. She was hungry for blood and couldn't ignore her vampire needs.
She walked trough a field, trying to find a prey, a human prey.
Until she spotted someone on a hill, under a cherry tree.
'Perfect' she tought, as she started to walk in the person's direction.
She was very close, but stopped immedeatly when a horrible and sickening stink pierced her nose:
Garlic
This person had garlic with them, wich meant that they were probably a vampire hunter, she couldn't risk to directly attack him, she could gain his trust so that he lowered his guard, but she wasn't a very sociable person, so she opted for a surprise attack.
"Who's there?"
Too late, he already noticed her, she had to go with the first option, even if she didn't like that.
she needed to put up a kind and innocent charade: "I didn't mean to disturbe you, but being alone in the middle of the night is very dangerous"
"That's right, but you don't need to worry about me. I know how to defend myself, but if you'd like, I could protect you" he said cheerfully. She could see his features almost clearly now that he was close: muscular buildt, purple hair that sticked upwords in a way that was bordeline unrealistic, dark cloak, a white shirt with a weird red mark, and on the belt she could see a bag of garlic, just like she tought.
"So, why are you here?"
That took her almost by surprise, what was she supposed to say now? If she said something wrong he could start suspecting of her.
"I'm just here to stargaze"
"WOAH, WHAT?! ME TOO!"
"Don't speak that loudly."
"Sorry, I do that a lot. But I'm happy that I found someone with my same interest! Everyone says that staying up late is unhealty but I don't care at all!"
"Aren't you afraid of being outside at night? Some monsters could attack you."
"Naaah, I'm an expert monster hunter! Well, I will be soon, but I WILL be!"
"Oh, I see"
She already figured it out, so it wasn't such a surprise. Still, that confirmed she must be extra careful with her words.
She dared sit down next to him, a risky move, but he didn't seem to mind.
"So, how much do you like space?"
For once, she was the one to start the confersation.
"IT'S AMAZING AND BEUTIFUL AND IT'S MY DREAM TO GO THERE!!! YOU HAVE TO DREAM BIG AND HIT FOR THE SKY AFTER ALL!!!"
"Loud again..."
"Oops"
He was kinda funny, but she couldn't get distracted for it, she had to kill him.
So they continued talking for some minutes.
And those minutes became quarters of hours.
Those quarters became half hours.
And then hours...
Until the sun was just about to rise. Only then did she realize that she spend the whole night under that cherry tree talking to her prey.
She had to go, she couldn't risk getting burned by the sun.
"I must go, sorry."
She got up and turned around, but she was stopped:
"Wait! What's your name? Mine's Kaito Momota, luminary of the stars!"
"..."
Should she answer? She could get him tomorrow if she did, but this was a monster hunter, he could tell her name to any other of his friends and if he died they would probably blame her for it. A fake name should be fine. Yes, say a random name and pretend its yours.
"Maki Harukawa. Bye"
"Why did I tell him my name, I basically digged my grave. Well there's no turning back now". She thought while going further and further away from the hill.
Perhaps she will get him tomorrow, perhaps she will give up on him.
Either way, she was still thirsty.
(A/N)
I died again, whoops. I'm so sorry but sometimes I just procrastinate to death until i forget why was I procrastinate to. To that I say thank you very much OreoKitKatWrites for make me remember this thing existed in the first place. Sorry again, I am the procrastination queen, Procrastination queen crown for 1$! Old queen's bad please forgive her. Also is Kaito's personality ok?
