"You know Kazuki-kun, if Ai-chan were to see us like this, one of us is bound to be killed right now," she said and I did not move. More like, my body was not letting move. Even if I wanted to, this body of mine was not listening to anything I was saying. I at least wanted to sit up off Ama’s lap so that I can be at face level when we are talking.
"You’ll not let that happen, I know that," I muttered again and Ama brought her ear closer to this ti.
"Can you say it again Kazuki-kun?" she asked and I obliged with her request.
"I said, you’ll not let Ai kill any of us," I said in the sa weak voice and I wasn’t doing that on purpose. I really was so weak that this was the only level I could talk to at the mont.
"Oh my, you have a lot of confidence in now, don’t you?" Ama said teasingly and winked at .
"Koto could beat Ai and you could beat Koto," I explained and she just nodded with a warm smile on her face.
"Well, don’t speak too much though Kazuki-kun. You did lose a lot of blood this ti," she said and I raised my eyebrow. How did I lose blood though? "What happened was, you started screaming and fell to the ground. You started bleeding from your eyes, ears, and mouth and there were so internal bleeding too."
"Wha- "
All that happened to when I was in so much pain? No wonder that happened because it was slowly getting really unbearable and if I can brag about sothing. I have been physically hurt in many ways. Stabbed, crushed, slamd, and even beaten to a pulp into my flesh. So the fact that my body was feeling so much pain because of all this was quite a surprise.
"The scariest part for us though was the fact that your vitals had gone for s few seconds. We really thought we lost you but then you ca back to your senses and so did your vitals," Ama explained and I just nodded. So this is what Ethan was talking about.
"What do we do about it?" I muttered and Ama lowered her ear again to hear . "I said, what do we do about it?"
She got back up and kept scratching my hair making feel relaxed and thought about it a bit holding her chin. I could see the focus on her face as she was trying to find an answer to the question and then let out a sigh. "For now, I don’t really know what we can really do. Your condition is one of a kind and seeing these effects just makes suspect sothing. Kazuki-kun, is there sothing that you are not telling us?"
Ama looked at with a raised eyebrow and I decided it was wise to tell them about what was going on with . I was not going to make the sa mistake again since they are more professional and experienced in this field. This is their literal job for years now so telling them was probably the right thing. Though, I do need to let out this one person to another.
"Um...Ama," I called her out and she lowered her ear again. So of her hair fell down my face and it slled really nice. "Can you call Natsumi-san to co here?"
"Why do you want to call Natsumi-chan here?" she asked surprised by the request. "Moreover, she is getting ready to leave for the mission and if it’s sothing really severe, she might as well decide to just stay here instead of going on the mission."
"I understand this…" I said with my voice getting even weaker. "But…please…"
"Oh Kazuki-kun," Ama said with a soft smile on her face and caress my cheek gently. "I can’t really say no to you when you say please this way."
She tapped my nose with a little giggle and called for Natsumi-san. We both stayed like this not saying much waiting for Natsumi-san to co here. I looked at her and she was just looking at while cupping my face. I could see her lips tremble for so reason and I didn’t really understand what was going on at this point. Is sothing wrong with Ama?
"Um…Ama?" I called for her but she didn’t really say anything. "Ama? All hail to Ama….Amantha?"
The mont I called out her first na, she snapped out of the mont and looked at with her lips still trembling. I didn’t quite understand what was going on with her. A little tear dropped from her eye onto my cheek and it rolled down all the way to my neck which got worried.
"Why are you crying…?" I muttered and she touched her eyes and started rubbing them.
"These? Oh, nothing Kazuki-kun, probably just so things flocking my mind ca back," she said trying to ignore the topic and I decided to not dig any deeper into that. "You just remind of soone."
As she opened a little on that, I looked at her and she just gave a warm smile. Soone she knew? I didn’t quite understand what was she talking about.
"A family mber?" I guessed and she just laughed a little.
"Kind of, at least he was family to ," she said in a sad tone and I decided to not ask anything further than this. I should just keep to it.
As we stopped talking about this, the door of the room opened with a card, and who entered was Natsumi-san accompanied by Koto and Ai. They looked at and Ama in the position and I saw a mix of emotions on each of their face. Ai had an angry and jealous face; Koto was straight-up confused and Natsumi-san looked really worried.
"Kazuki…" she muttered and ran at . Once close, she took a proper look at and scanned from top to bottom, and looked at Ama. "What happened to him and why was I not inford about this imdiately?"
"You have a mission to leave for in an hour," Ama said and that angered Natsumi-san.
"The damn mission doesn’t matter to as much as Kazuki’s safety does. I promised Masumi and Kazuto that I will keep him safe," she said and clenched her fist. I slowly moved my hand over to her and grabbed it. She looked at worried and looked away. "God, what is wrong with ? Why am I getting so worked up about it."
"Because Natsumi-san, at the end of the day you are soone who worries a lot about . Don’t lie to yourself now. You had stopped showing that you did so years ago but I have seen that side of yours," I muttered with a smile saying all this with every ounce of strength I got. "But I need to tell everyone sothing."
"Before anything, can I ask sothing?" Ai said raising her hand and Ama nodded. "Why is Kazu-kun on your lap?!"
Hearing that, Ama giggled and started caressing my hair. "Well, because Kazuki-kun looked pretty lonely when he was just lying like that so I thought I’d comfort him."
"Well, no need for that, since I’m already there," Ai said walking towards us and sitting down. She carefully picked up my head off of Ama’s lap and placed it on hers. "I am the only one who is allowed to do that." She looks really jealous right now. And cute.
"Anyways, what did you want to tell us Kazuki?" Natsumi-san said looking at and going back to her normal strict deanor.
"Okay, I just want to preface this…I’m not joking here…" I said and the atmosphere in the room started to tense up with everyone starting to understand the severity of the situation. "I am slowly turning into a vampire."
Silence.
Absolute silence took over the place. It was so quiet that is soone were to even move an inch or so, it will be heard in the room. Everyone looked at as if I was a madman saying random stupid stuff.
"Do you understand what you are even saying Kazuki?" Natsumi-san said in a serious voice and I tensed up hearing it. "Tell that you are not joking because if I find out that you are, this will be in the last thing you will speak about this day. You got unconscious on your own for so reason but this ti, I will make you unconscious for the next twenty-four hours- "
"Natsumi-san, I don’t think Kazu-kun is lying here though. He would never lie about sothing this serious. Yes, he jokes around here and there but…" Ai said and her eyes widened. "Is this why you asked if I’d still love you if you were a vampire Kazu-kun?"
I just nod my head and let out a sigh.
"Since when did you notice this? Any symptoms and stuff," Natsumi-san asked.
"Maybe a month ago but before it was just a hunch…I didn’t really want to say anything until I was sure," I said and everyone patiently started to listen since my voice was very low and slow. "It was explained to by…Ethan…"
"Ethan?" Ama asked and I nod my head.
"The first…"
"Are you sure he is not lying or joking with you?" Natsumi-san questioned and honestly, I didn’t have a plausible answer. It can be very true that Ethan was just lying to this whole ti and I wouldn’t be any wiser but for so reason, I trusted it. I trusted Ethan’s words.
"No, he’s not lying," I said, and reluctantly, she agreed with .
"Sigh, what a pain in the ass now," Natsumi-san exclaid.
