Blood Lust | K.Th./V

I - 5

I climbed up the stairs after her and opened the door to my bedroom to find her laying on my bed. I stepped inside the room and closed the door behind me. "Didn't you hear what I said earlier?" I asked as I made my way towards her. She just hummed something incomprehensible and turned to the other side. "I know you're not sleeping. You just laid down, besides it's not even that late." She turned to face me and stand on the bed with her back leaned against the headboard, sighing.

"Ok. Now, what? Don't tell me you want to have those kinds of sleepovers where they paint their nails and have pillow fights." She said with a disgusted face.

"Ew. No. Why would I wanna do that?" I asked her and furrowed my brows to show my disgust as well. As I was prepared to say something else I saw her get up from the bed and went to my desk where a Nagisa plushie was placed. She took it in her hand and turned around with a big smile on her lips.

"You watch Free!? Oh my god." She squealed. "You know, we could have a marathon tonight." She suggested, wiggling her eyebrows. Actually, it wasn't such a bad idea, if I was going to give them a chance I should start bonding with the only female in the group. After I nodded in approval, I took my DVD collection and went downstairs with Aotaki to start our movie night. Before she could insert the CD in the player I went into the kitchen to make some snacks. "While you're at it, could you maybe order some pizza?" She yelled through the house. I obeyed and placed the order as I was feeling hungry myself and went back to the living room with two bowls of popcorn and a couple of sodas.

We spend the next 2 hours watching the anime in silence as she sighed every time Haru appeared on the screen. She suddenly broke the silence "Did you know my name in Japanese translates as Blue Waterfall? I came up with it after I got into Free!." She said, stuffing her mouth with pizza.

"What do you mean you came up with it? Your parents gave it to you." I said, glaring at her.

"Well, no. It isn't my real name. It's just a nickname." She answered with a tone that made it seem like it was an obvious thing. "Aotaki is what my friends call me. And no, I won't tell you my real name. Nobody knows it." She added as she saw me open my mouth to say something.

"Why not? You said you wanna be friends. Friends don't keep secrets." I whispered.

"First of all, we know each other for 2 and a half weeks and second, I don't want to." She said with a bored expression. "So, is Rei your real name?" She asked, sipping from her Coke.

"No-no, I named myself after my favorite Sailor Senshi. I'm the guardian of fire and love, Sailor Mars." I said sarcastically, posing in front of the couch. I saw her giving me a death glare and I sat back on the couch, laughing. "Yeah, it's my real name." She punched me in my arm and I let out a whine.

"Don't mock me. I'm your Unnie. I've lived 397 days longer than you." She threatened and I just rolled my eyes at her and we went back to watching the tv screen that was showing the toned abs of our swimmers. "Yeah, I really like the story line of this anime." She said, laughing.

After a few hours, I dozed off. I was woken up in the morning by an arm pinching me. I turned around on the couch to ignore it but it didn't work as she yelled "Yah! Wake up already. It's 4 in the afternoon. We missed school. I thought you would wake me up."

"Ahh, leave me alone." I mumbled into the couch cushions. She chose to ignore my pleading as she pulled my shoulder to face her. "Oh My God. Fine. I'm up." I shout in frustration. She nodded satisfied at her actions and made her way to the kitchen with me following after her stumbling over the coffee table as I tried to get up from the couch. "How did you sleep in my bed?" I asked her, emphasizing the noun.
