Couldn't Believe...

Chapter 111

"Long time no see, little Lioness"
"What are you doing here?!"
"Well, I came to visit my little cousins but..." *glance* *glare*
"!"
"I see that someone's inappropriately making a move on her"
"First, I still didn't touch her. Second-"
"Inappropriately making a move includes verbal bullshit"
"Bullshit?! You bastard! I didn't even say anything wrong-"
"What the fuck do you mean by 'friends with benefits' then?"
"That's-"
"Listen here you little piece of shit. I have no time for your crap, so leave before I get angry"
"I said I will take her with me, even if I'll have to use force. And a kid like you won't stop me" *attacks*
"Noah! Move!"
*kicks*
*BAM* "OUCH!"
"Nobody talks about my cousin like that and gets away with it"
*gets up* *smirks* "What are you? Her guardian?"
"Not really, I'm more like her big brother. Now that I think about it, I still don't know your name"
"My name is Karl. I'm Eluma's cousin"
"Oh, I see! Well, you introduced yourself, so I guess now's my turn. My name is Noah, I'm Blackie's cousin, and-"
"Let me guess, a demon?"
"Not quite" *shows his fangs*
*gasp*
"A vampire"
"How?! Black Akari is a Black Wizard!"
"So am I. But the difference between us is that her father is born with demon powers. Mine was born with vampire powers. That's all"
"... I don't get it-"
"Vampires are born with fangs, unlike demons. However, they are more powerful than us when it comes to Black Magic"
"That's so messed up"
"Whatever. Do you mind leaving now?"
"Hell nah. I'm taking her with me-"
"You asked for it" *glow*
*freeze*

What's this... his eyes are glowing... and I can't move...

*attacks* *bites*
"AGHH!!!!"
*backs off*
*collapses*
"What happened-!"
*glow*
*burns*
*gasp*

What is this... did he just...

"What happened?!"
"Nothing. He's gone"
"What do you mean he's gone?!"
"My bite can be poisonous when I want to, so he collapsed. I just burned him"
"... You're still as scary as ever"
*chuckle* *turns*
*gets up*
"It's nice to see you again, little Lioness"
"Same here, Vamp"
*open his arms* "I'm not gonna have a hug?"
*sigh* *hug*
*lifts*
"Woah! Put me down!"
*chuckle* *puts down* "You haven't been eating?"
"Huh? Why are you saying that?"
"You're too light. Eat more, or else I'll bite you"
"Your jokes got better"
"... I'm glad you remember me"
"Of course I would. I read about you a lot, and it helped me remember"
"Glad to hear that. Where's your brother?"
"He's probably sleeping or something"
"And your mother?"
"I don't know. Most likely with him"
"I see"
"Let's go to my office! I want to show you where I work"
*chuckle* "Alright"
*woosh*

...

In Blackie's office...

"Wow, it's big"
*nod* "Take a seat. What do you want to drink? Or would you rather eat something first?"
*sits* "I need nothing. Come and sit down"
"..." *sits*
"How are you?"
"I'm fine, and you?"
"... I'm fine, but are you sure?"
"What do you mean?"
*sigh* "I heard what happened... with you"
"Ah... your father told you?"
"No. My mother"
"Ah"

My aunt told him, huh...

"Why are you here?"
"To help you"
"Help me?"
"After knowing about the incidents, I couldn't stay still, so I came right away"
"Thanks. But I'm fine-"
"I know you're not. It shows all over your face"
"... I'm not done with my plans, and I have a lot on my mind"
*pats her head* "You should take a break every once in a while"
"I know, and I will, but not now"
*sigh* "Now tell me in details, what exactly happened. My mom told me in general, but I'm sure she missed out many information"
"... Okay"
<...>
*gets up* "THESE BASTARDS! I'LL SHOW THEM-"
"Calm down"
*sits down* "No! They dared to do this to you! I won't tolerate that!"
"... You sound like Luka"
"You're like my little sister. I can't help it"
*smile*

This feels refreshing...

"By the way, what happened back there?"
"Where?"
"Before, with this guy, Karl"
"Ah, don't mind him. He's from-"
"That's not what I meant"
"?"
"Why didn't you fight him? The little Lioness I know would've broke his legs and arms"
"... I got surprised by something he said"
"You should be more careful. I'll help you train after I see Luka and get a little familiar with this place"
"Wait, you're staying?"
"How am I supposed to help you otherwise?"
"Ah, right"
"If you don't want me, I can leave-"
"No! I'm actually happy"
*chuckle* *gets up* "Then I'll be staying"
*gets up* "Thanks. I'll call Luka. I'm sure he'll be delighted to see you"
"No, it's okay. I don't want to bother him"
"Nah, it's okay" *takes out her phone* *sends a message*
"So, he's coming?"
*ring* "Yep"
"Oh, that's great!"
*nod* "... Vamp"
"Hm?"
"Thanks for coming. I'm really happy I got to see you after such a long time"
*smile* *pats her head* "Same here. You grew up so much and became a beautiful and amazing woman, that can also fall in love"
"What-"
"Come on, I know you. The 'lot on your mind' includes a boy, am I wrong?"
*slightly blush*
*chuckle* "Tell me, who is it?"
"Well... it's-"
*clack* "Sissy, you called me- NOAH????!!!!"
"Hello there"
*runs* *hug* "I MISSED YOU!"
*chuckle* "So did I. How are you?"
"I'm fine! And you?"
"I'm good"
"Hi Noah"
"Aunt Eleanor, hello! How have you been?"
"I've been well. It's good to see you. You grew up a lot"
"Well, it's been many years"
"True. What were you talking about?"
"About-"
"Nothing much. Just the usual" *glance* *wink*
*smile*
*let go* "Why are you here?"
"Well, I came for my little Lioness"
*chuckle* "You still call her like that?"
"I can't help it. She truly does resemble a Lioness. Though I should probably remove the 'little' part"
"Nah, it's fine. Anyways, why did you come?"
"I felt like I could be of help to her"
"Help her? With what?"
"Her plans"
"Oh, I see. Well, that's amazing!"
"Yes. With Noah's help, our team will be even more unbeatable"
"True. Thank you so much, Vamp"
*pats her head* "Anything for my little Lioness-"
*clack* "Blackie, I need to talk to you-" *glance* *glare*

Who is this? And why is he patting Blackie's head?

"And who might you be?"
"... I'm Eluma, and you?"
"I'm Noah. Nice to meet ya"
"..." *glare*
"What is it-" *glance*

Ah, I see...

*removes his hand*

Someone's jealous

"Relax, no need to glare at me like that. I'm their cousin"
"I see"
"By the way, I'd love to explore this place. Who will volunteer to show me around?"
"I will!"
"Alrighty. Aunt Eleanor, you're coming as well?"
"If you want me to"
*nod* *turns* "Little Lioness, you're coming as well?"
"I think I'll stay here. I still have some work to do"
"Deal"
"Luka, take care of Vamp, deal?"
"Don't worry, I will!"
"And you two better not mess around, got it?"
"Okay~"
"See you!"
"Enjoy"
*nod*
*clack*
"Eluma, why are you here?"
"... Are you close?"
"Who?"
"You and him"
"Him? Oh, you mean Vamp? Yes, we were close, but it's been a long time since I last saw him-"
*stare*
"What is it?"
"... Nothing" *turns*
"What's wrong?!"
*turns* "What's wrong is that you carelessly let anyone touch you!"
"Anyone?! He's not anyone, he's my cousin!"
"So what?!"
"Are you seriously getting jealous of my cousin?! Of all people?! You're pissing me off!"
"!"
"You should thank him instead of getting jealous!"
"Why would I?!"
"For your information, your dear cousin came and wanted to kidnap me, in order to bring you back! And if it wasn't for Vamp, I wouldn't be here right now!"
"... You mean Karl?"
"Yes! He wanted to kidnap me and use me as a bait! And Vamp came just in time to save me! You should be grateful to him!"
"I-"
"Leave"
"What?"
"Leave!"
"..." *turns*
*clack*
"For God's sake, what is wrong with him!"

That's getting out of hands. He really just got jealous of Vamp? OF ALL PEOPLE?!
