Diabolical Lovers Crack

Chapter 57: The Diagnosis

Rin kept looking down at his muddy and wet sneakers. It was weird how just a few words could hit him this hard. He's not a human? What the hell is happening? Is this some sort of joke or prank? 'Cause if so, it is working.

"What do you mean?" Rin lifted his gray eyes to already smiling stranger.

He snapped his fingers and in the distance Rin heard as it was women's high heels clicking on the floor. And he was right.

"You're that girl" Rin's eyes, first time at his stay here, recognized at least one familiar figure in here. But it wasn't the pleasant one.

The one who was coming was the same black haired girl that he met in his former house basement. She was carrying a silver platter with a box of cigars, a cutter, lighter and an ashtray on it. The same girl looked at the boy behind grills, as if she haven't done anything.

"I think you had met each other?" the man said taking one cigar into his hand and cutting the end of it "Yagami Rin this is one of my surface workers Eiko. Eiko, you already know Mrs. Yagami, our guest of honor" he said the last part mockingly as he lighten up the cigar and took a deep breath of smoke inside of his lungs.

Eiko gave Rin flirtatious eyes but with a hidden pride behind it. Of course Rin noticed the hits of pride in the girl's face. She probably was happy as a little kid who caught long searched bug in her arms. Just let me wipe that smile of your face, Rin thought to himself.

"Eiko, you say? I believe that in Latin 'Ei' means 'Drooling' and 'ko' in Thai means 'Dog' "
As it was expected the girl from smiling went to frowning. But what Rin wasn't expecting was his butt hitting the hard floor.

"Ouch!"

"Just hilarious, Mrs. Yagami" the man flicked the cigar and the ashes from it fell in the ashtray.

"Thanks for your compliments, Mrs. Bond" Rin didn't bother to stand up. He just stretched one leg out and the other one brought closer to his chest making it as his elbow supporter. No need to waste his energy standing, because from the looks of it he will need the last of bit of his strengths.

"That's not my name" the stranger corrected me.

"Well, I'm sorry but the nicknames will be coming until I know how to call you?" get to know your enemy step by step.
"One way or another I will tell" he breathed the smoke "But for now, how about, we come back to our little topic that we were discussing before? About what it was? Ah yes, your true nature"

"This is a very nice practical joke but too bad not a fun one"

"Who said it was a joke? Certainly not me or Eiko" the man leaned back in his chair taking a deep smoke.

"Then what the hell?" Rin was finally found himself losing his patience.

"So you are willing to listen? Good. To begin with, tell me, do you believe in vampires?"

"…No way" Rin whispered to himself. His eyes got a little wider filled with disbelief and confusion. He didn't understand are these guys for real or not.

"I guess, you do believe in supernatural after all, not to mention you are partly one of us"

"You mean…I…?" Rin leaned closer.

"It shouldn't take long for that peanut in your head that you call brain to process the information. You're not a full-blooded vampire but…" he stooped and prepared another cigar for himself. The first one he smoked really fast that it seems that he didn't even take one at the beginning "…you can reach the point of the pureness in some way"

"I'm not a vampire" Rin stood up and came closer to the gates, with a rage filled eyes which were lit on fire by the lies that this strange man was telling him right now.
