Chapter 5 - Tsukinami Brothers

"First... Blood?" Ruki ask.

"Just find out by yourselves. Come on! Give us the girl now!" Shin said and immediately Ruki and his brothers protecting her. "Hee~ Are you sure you can take me down? Don't forget I'm a first blood"

"You're a first blood or not, we don't care. If you want to take her, you have to pass us first" Ruki threatening him.

"Ru--Ruki-kun..."

"Don't worry, pyon-chan! You have us! We will protect you" Kou said.

"Shin. Time to go. We still have plenty of time" Carl said.

"Haah... Okay, nii-san" Shin said and follow his brother, heading to the opposite direction. Suddenly, Carla stop walking and look behind, to Janne.

"We will come back again. For you. Mark my word, Sakurazuka Janne" Carla said and both of them vanished.

After watching them gone, Janne's body suddenly become weak. She's still seating on the ground, but she could feel her legs have no strength on it. Clearly, she's still in shock. Watching her like that, Ruki suddenly picking her up-in a bridal style, startling her.

"Waa!Ru--Ruki-kun! What are you--" 

"Come on. Let's take you home" Ruki said.

"But! My bag..."

"Leave it to me, pyon-chan! Don't worry, I will not get discovered by the teachers" Kou said and enter the building. Few minutes later, Kou already returned with her bag. "Here you go. Oh, let me take these"

"Well then, let's go" Ruki said and walking towards the opposite direction with Janne in his arms, followed by his brothers.

"Wait a moment!" Reiji suddenly called them and walk towards Ruki. "We do not know about the Tsukinami's brothers. We also do not know what their motives are. One thing we only know is that they are targeting Janne-san. I do not believe a mere previous-human vampires like you are able to protect her. But, as for today there is nothing we can do. Protect her with all your might" Reiji said. His statements causing Janne, the Mukami also his own brothers shocked of what he said.

"Don't worry. Without you have to say that, I will protect her. Why don't you protect that woman over there? Probably they will targeting her too" Ruki said and continue walking, leaving them behind.

Mukami's Mansion

When the five of them arrived in their destination. Ruki immediately taking Janne to his room. At his room, he put Janne down to the side of his bed. He kneel down and checking on her condition.

"Are you sure you alright?" Ruki ask.

"Don't worry, Ruki-kun. I'm alright. Besides, Subaru-kun was there to rescue me"

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you on time"

"No. That's not Ruki-kun's fault. Besides, who would expect something like that, right?"

"Do you have any idea why they want to take you?" Ruki ask and Janne only shaking her head. Not even her know the reason why the Tsukinami's brothers want to take her. She got remembered about her dream. A dream about two man and Eve's warning about them. "What's wrong?"

"Uhm... The truth is when I'm still in my family's house, I dream about two man. I don't recognize their appearances but whenever I tried to called them, I always woke up. Eve were there too. She's warned me about them. She said no matter I tried to not meet them, I eventually will meet them someday. And... I guess she was talking about the Tsukinami's" Janne explaining about her dream. Hearing her situation and her face become worried, Ruki couldn't hold himself to hold her.

"Anything else I have to know?"

"Uhm... Oh, they're also calling me 'Queen'" Janne said.

"Queen? What does it mean?"

"I don't know" She answer. Whatever it's mean, possibly it's not something good. Janne still remembered their eyes, especially Carla. His gaze is intimidating, cruelty showed in his eyes, making her unable to move when he grab her hand. Realize Janne become scare, Ruki hold both of her hands, causing Janne is looking at him.

"Don't worry. I'll protect you. I won't let them take you away. I'll always be here, right by your side" Ruki said. He meant every words he said. He won't let anyone take her from his sights. Hearing those words from Ruki, causing Janne able to calm down and she hold back his hands.

"Y-You won't go anywhere, would you?" Janne ask while she flustered. Ruki is a rather surprise with her question. It's not like Janne who would ask that. Usually, she will act like an adult and refuse to show her weakness to anyone. Ruki know she was scared an incident with Aruto before will repeat again.

"No. I won't. I will always be here. Protecting you" Ruki said and he closing his face to her. Close enough, making him able to felt her breath. And then, he closing his lips to her and Janne slowly close her eyes. A gentle kiss. 

"Stay at my room for tonight. Don't worry, I won't do anything. After that incident, I'm sure you're still in shock" Ruki request.

"Eh? But--"

"You can sleep first. I'll be watching you until you sleep"

"We-Well... Let me take my clothes first" Janne said and exit his room. When he's make sure Janne already outside the room, Ruki got remembered about the previous incident. The Tsukinami's brothers. They're calling themselves 'First Blood' and they've been calling Janne 'Queen'. He recalled that person mentioning First Blood but he never know anything about Queen. Is it just how they call Janne? Or is there any reason why they've been calling her that? He could tell something bad will happen. But, he wouldn't let something happen to Janne.

Few minutes later, Janne already return wearing her usual sleep clothes. A T-shirt and sleeping pants. Ruki tell her to go sleep first while he's watching her sleep. Janne do as he told and sleep first. Ruki is sitting on the chair while reading a book. Sometimes he take a glance to Janne, make sure she's already sleep. When she's already sleeping, Ruki switching off the room's lamp and taking the right side of the girl. He could tell she's already in deep sleep, then he hug her from behind. He kiss her cheek and whispering beside her ear...

"Good night, Janne" Then, he slowly closing his eyes. None of them are aware, something big will happen to Janne. Something that causing their relationship is in stake.
