Chapter 11 - My Races' Technique To Enjoy Food

It appeared the only part she remembered was where Narukami gave her his heart and the white figure. The rest remain unknown.

She moved her head to the left and right in guilt.

"I'm sorry, master. The dream happened a few months ago."

It'll a waste of time too if she kept trying to remember the event.

"I see, then when he's talking to you. Is he doing something strange? Something peculiar?"

"Hard to tell, his figure was all white. I can't even see his face."

Narukami went into a daze right after her words. He laughed out of the blue.

"Aha, ahahaha, AHAHA! Interesting! You're interesting, Aya! Just who are you?! No matter, I will give you my heart. However, I have to judge it myself if you're worthy."

His laugh was enough to make her skin tingling and she flinched when he started laughing.

No, that wasn't the part that should be highlighted.

"Seriously? You'll give me your heart? So, what should I do? Give you my virginity? Becoming your sex slave? Dog? Either way is fine!"

Her tone was different from before. It was high and her eyes gleaming with sparkles. Her expression also suggested that she can't wait.

Seeing her excited while saying those things are strange in many ways, Narukami said to himself and he had to rest his head on his right hand, his right arm was lying on the chair's armrest.

Anyway, the image of her in his mind shattered, similar to a mirror being hit by a bat, turning it into millions of little fragments.

"So you're what is called a masochist?"

"I am not! But," she touched her heart and averted her gaze there. The usual beat she commonly felt wasn't there. The beat that accompanied her through bad and good.

The beautiful rhythm on one's chest.

"I want to make that old man regret what he did to me."

After hearing that, something came into his mind. He wanted to ask, though, it appeared he need the right timing.

After a short silence.

"Do you want your heart back?" His question made her heart thump. She can't feel her heart beating in her chest but she can tell.

Aya turned her head to Narukami, there were words she wanted to say but couldn't come out of her throat. Her mouth opened a bit as she closed it in the next moment.

Later, she looked away. 

Her body somehow won't follow her command, it wanted to avoid Narukami's prying gaze.

She found this weird.

She also felt he was peering into her soul and knowing every secret she had.

When you lose something that was originally tailored-made for you. The obvious thing to do was to find it and take it back.

Something very important for her was taken by a man to fulfill his greed. This was enough of a reason to take what belonged to her.

But she couldn't.

Shortly afterward.

"I'm a parasite," she weakly said as her eyes got watery.

"I can't get my heart back. I can't face that man. Even if I did, I would only cause unnecessary trouble, for me and others." She hugged her knees as her face was covered by her long bangs and arms covered the side.

"I don't care," Narukami said.

Aya lowered her left arm so she could see Narukami's face.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm a vampire. Anything in my view is food and toys. Humans, animals, everything in this world is only a playground for us, vampires." Narukami got up from his chair and slowly invaded Aya's personal space, he slowly crawled onto the bed.

"Narukami?"

His gaze was piercing her soul. Her body spammed danger as she kept her distance from him, crawling back.

"Stay back!" She shrieked. Futile, however. He was akin to a hungry predator, locking its prey. Like every prey would do, they'll retaliate. Her legs were itching to run.

"We are the beings that ruled the night. Feared by many and often be told in folktales and myths. As such, even you're saying that you're a parasite."

He was getting closer and opened his mouth. Two sharp fangs could be seen and there was a sharp glint of the light.

Aya land a weak punch. Narukami didn't feel anything.

Aya stopped crawling as her back hit the bed. Sweats were flowing down through her cheek and her mouth was trembling.

"Please, stop…"

Her plea was ignored. Who could stop a starving beast when food was in the extremely short vicinity?

"That won't affect me," he continued as their distance got closer, "they say the blood of a maiden or a talented person is delicious. Now that two types of delicacy are in one form, time to find out."

Aya let him, she gave up and prepared for the pain as she closed her eyes. 

Narukami slowly approached her neck and bit her snow-white neck. 

Or at least that's what she thought.

She waited… 

She waited…

But nothing happened… 

"Eh?"

She opened her eyes in bewilderment. The pain she had been preparing for didn't come.

Narukami licked his mouth seductively.

"Your blood is delicious but too sweet." Narukami crawled out of the bed as if nothing just happened.

"Hold on, what just going on?"

"I taste your blood."

"Why didn't I feel any pain?"

Aya touched her neck and didn't feel anything that seemed to be a wound.

"Vampires have their means to enjoy human blood without injuring them. To do this, one would require incredible patience."

"But, you did it in mere seconds…"

Her five fingers were still on her neck, moving here and there, looking for the wound as she felt her smooth skin.

"Well, as you said, I'm a powerful vampire. If I can't do this much, I think it'll disgrace that title of mine." He smiled.

As his figure crawled out, Aya could see something on his right finger, to be more specific, it was his index finger. 

Something red, strange to be red oil paint as they were in the infirmary and not that thick to be one.

Narukami noticed her gaze as he turned around. Later, with interesting eyes, he put his right index finger into his mouth.

"I'll come again to you if I get bored."

He got out of her bed and she fell in a daze. Processing what she just saw and wondering if she had to come to his presence and offer her blood.

He did say if she was worthy or not. Maybe to prove it, she had to offer him her blood and its taste must be to his liking.
