Unnerving feelings [Sakamaki brother love story]

5

By the time that they had gotten to Reiji's study the gloom was back over the manor again. Astra rolled her eyes as Laito chuckled. "Looks like dear old father is keeping a close eye on you now huh?"

She stuck her tongue out at him as he chuckled at her a bit more. "Now lets see what Reiji can do about this now shall we?"

She nodded her head before Laito knocked on the door only to get an answer soon afterwards. Laito came in with Astra only to place Astra's broken glasses down on the counter. "Astra's glasses broke, is there anyway they can be repaired or is she stuck being blind?" Laito asked

Reiji felt the same aura around them as he had nights ago and looked to Astra. "Your father is very strict with you isn't he."

She nodded her head before she covered her eyes with her hands as she fell to her knees. Neither male knew what to do until she held on to Laito's leg tightly, making him look down to her sadly. "There has to be something we can do about this?"

Reiji looked at her glasses and he fixed them the best that he could before he made her look at him. He placed her glasses back on her face and her eyes changed back to their normal purple color. "They conceal your power...don't they Astra?"

Astra frowned and nodded her head sadly, Reiji placed his hand over the top of her head. "You need to be careful with things like that, you wouldn't want more harm to come to you now would you?"

"So you've been informed?" Laito asked

"He had the nerve to come in here and play the victim, so yes. My guess you are the next she has placed herself beside?" Reiji asked curiously

"On a three night trial but yes." Laito said with a smile

Reiji helped her up and looked to her sternly. "Don't take anyone here for granted you'll be asking for worse if you do."

She nodded her head and motioned a thank you to him, before the gloom went away and Astra rubbed between her eyes. "My father has been persistent after I let Yui away from me last night, Apparently he see's her as a threat, if I cross paths with that woman once more I will rip her heart out and kill her. Any objections that Reiji?"

"I have none, just be careful where you do it."

Astra smirked. "I was hoping you boys would know a place that I could just dump her body."

"There's a lake not far from here." Laito mentioned with a smile

Astra looked to Laito with a grin. "Perfect, if it comes down to me crossing paths with her again, that's where I'll be ending her. Now Laito, where will you spend your three nights with me?"

"How about a tour of the places you are able to go to, from there I will show you a very special place dear to me."

She nodded her head and she walked with him out of the study room. She was given a tour of the rooms that she'd be able to go to and she was able to see just how different Laito was from Kanato. The room that was very dear to him was the music room on top of the tower. He sat her on the bench to the piano before he opened the case to the piano keys.

"I've known how to play since I was just a child, would you mind if I played for you?"

Her eyes lit up. "I'd love that very much Laito! Please will you?!"

He smiled at her as he played a soft tune for her as the room got darker, she leaned herself against Laito as she closed her eyes enjoying hearing the music that was playing from the piano due to Laito. She enjoyed music very much, knowing that someone was so musically talented was a blessing for her. She just hoped that the trial she had with Laito would become more if her heart and mind allowed it over the next two more nights. Laito enjoyed having her be so close to him, it gave him a reason to smile.

After the three night trial with Laito, Ayato snatched her from him and took her to his room where he grinned at her as he had her up against the wall. "You had your time with Laito it's my turn now. Do you think you have what it takes to be around yours truly for three whole nights?"

She shrugged. "Do you wish to test it out. As of now being around Kanato is not an option, other than the fact that he has betrayed me, I have been given strict orders to avoid him at all costs or be killed. So as long as I am away from him everything will be just fine."

"That's not going to be a problem, ever played pool before?"

"I have not, are you willing to be my teacher Ayato?" She said with a smile

"I can teach you a lot of things that you have no idea about. Shall we begin?"

"Only when you're ready to do something and stop talking your mouth off as if you've already won me. I'm not fooled by your narcissistic antics Ayato. Seeing that you have gone to the lengths as you have to even call your self 'yours truly' I can see just how brain washed you've become over the last few centuries. No doubt your parental figure; more importantly your female parental figure had some influence on how you are now. If that's the case then I have no need to spend three nights to figure you out if by not even an hour I have captured your being with you speaking to me." She said dully

He scoffed and walked away from her. "That's not all who I am Astra, you realize that don't you?"

"No, not really. I say what I see. So far I see a child who wants attention, not a grown man who's ready to move on from the childish bull crap they've been placed through." Astra said with her arms crossed

"What can I do to change your mind about me?"

"Does what I say really mean that much to you Ayato?"

"Well you are a princess, no doubt the reason you are placed through all of this is because your father wants you to find someone who'd suit you as your king." Ayato said with a sigh

She giggled a bit. "Well aren't you a smarty...Yeah, I do need to find someone who I wish as a king, but for that to happen I need to make sure that I get along with them because they will be beside me for a very long time and what they will go through they will have to endure with me. It has to be someone I trust, love and wish to bond my soul with, which I can only do once or I die. Now, what will your move be Ayato Sakamaki?"

He grabbed her by the hand and took her to the reck room where he threw her a pool stick and grinned at her. "I'm going to teach you things you've never been taught before like I said I would. I have three nights to change your mind about me. So I'll use them to my advantage while I can." He said as he grabbed a pool stick for himself.

She smiled at him. "Very well Ayato lets see what you are able to-" She said before her voice was cut off as her father watched over her once more. She placed her hands up as she glared at the ceiling.

"Your father has been watching you a lot as of late hasn't he?" Ayato asked

She nodded her head before she pointed to her left hand. "Kanato huh?"

She nodded her head again as she looked down sadly, he went up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't look so down Astra, you're going to be just fine. You'll see, you still have time here with us so use them while you can."

She nodded her head as she looked up to him sincerely. He then taught her how to play pool, he stayed behind her and directed her that way as he showed her how to hold the pool stick and how to knock the pool stick into the white ball and the achievement of the game to begin with.

He played a few games with her after she got used to playing, before he won two games and she won three. After that he showed her how to play darts.
