Dream Star

Recently Haruka thinks he"s going crazy, is it just the sheer fact that they spend a lot more time together? In his dreams - no even when he"s awake, his thoughts are consumed with Teras.h.i.+ma Lila and only her. Haruka watches her from afar; she"s laughing away with the usual group Jae-hee, Ayase, Yamamoto, Kogami. Other groups of partic.i.p.ants staring at them with looks of envy, others filled with admiration. The five of them certainly stood out with the way they constantly dominate the rankings.

But despite this, Haruka"s gaze remained focus on her. He doesn"t understand; he"s becoming far too obsessed with her. Not being able to sleep without her aside, it feels like he can"t do anything unless she"s around.

Lila falls into his arms with a beaming expression on her face as she softly called out his name, "Haruka?"

".."

He said nothing.

But he replied to her using his actions.

He"s kissing, licking and sucking her bottom lip in a matter of seconds. Lila responded shyly, with her cute moans and her hands searching for his. Haruka clasped his hand with hers, and soft laughter pa.s.sed her lips. She"s cute, whenever she smiles or so much speaks or even just standing. He can"t get enough of this girl.

When he finally pulled away, traces of his salvia remained on Lila"s lips; he chuckled, "Wipe your mouth dear?"

Lila"s cheeks which were a rosy red color already turned even more red at his words, and she wiped it.

She slumped her head on his chest and mumbled, "I"m not very good yet."

Haruka understood what she meant and sighed; this woman does not understand does she? What effect she has on him. Does she not know? Teras.h.i.+ma Lila isn"t a simple woman, though the mask she hides behind is not as toxic as those who used him. It"s toxic on a different sense. The whole time Haruka looked her up and down, he found his hands tugging on her clothing.

"H—Haruka? Um, wait your acting," she pulled away slightly, her whole face a crimson red color, "Do you want blood?"

Blood? Is that what this is? Haruka knew that the urges for hanyou males are a lot stronger than the ones hanyou females have, especially if it"s around somebody who already has a different partner. It spurs them on and causes them to act recklessly. He thought back to the reckless kiss he gave her a few minutes ago and frowned.

He gently kissed her lips, "Sorry, acting too brash again."

Lila shook her head and laughed, "Um, it"s okay? I think you should drink some. We have a long day ahead of us."

Can he take some? Haruka stared at the girl"s neck, whenever she exposed it like this - it felt like she is inviting him. But isn"t she? She did just tell him to take some. Haruka brought his lips to her neck and started to lick.

"Ahh."

His girlfriend is adorable. The smallest of his touch seemed to drive the girl on edge, and an amused chuckle escaped his lips.

....

His fellow judges, however, are not amused. Of course, they wouldn"t, the Second round officially starts in a few hours. But Lila pa.s.sed out after he drank so much blood from her. Despite what it looked like. Haruka holds back with her, in contrast to how things were before, anyway. Though the memory is faint for him, Haruka remembered vague parts those times where he forcibly drank Lilas blood. Whenever he thought back to it, he wanted nothing more than to die. Why did he do that? Is he a child, acting on his emotions the way he did? It was stupid.

Drugged or not, he didn"t want to offer excuses. Just because somebody is drugged did not make it okay to touch them. Haruka understood, from the very start he did not deserve the woman named Teras.h.i.+ma Lila.

So he came here but, Haruka stared at the house cautiously.

Is she not at home? Haruka pressed the doorbell once more; maybe he should have confirmed it through email first. He heard that they took her to the apartment the company got her here, with some distant relatives. So maybe she doesn"t need him to come over? But no, somehow leaving her alone when she"s sick doesn"t sit well with him.

Even though she was all perky and happy the other day, that girl probably did something reckless overnight. He"s really worried; maybe she"s seriously ill and all alone? Perhaps that"s why she isn"t answering the door? His thoughts broke off when the door opened.

"Yes…? "

"Ah…" It"s a person he never saw before. A man with dusty blonde hair and bright eyes. When he saw those traits, he thought, looks a bit like Teras.h.i.+ma.

"Uh, I"m Lila"s.."

Introducing himself as her boyfriend to someone he"s never net seems quite daring. He doesn"t know who this person is either, so is it okay to say it? Haruka is well aware that some people in her family don"t approve of their relations.h.i.+p with each other.

"Lila"s huh…." the guy scanned him up and down, "Don"t tell me… you"re her boyfriend?"

Haruka nodded, "Yeah."

"Ah, the real boyfriend! This is unbelievable."

Harika blinked in confusion, what"s this guy going on about?

The blonde-haired man turned away briefly before he turned back to him and patted his shoulder, "Okay, you came at the right time, the real boyfriend. The timing is just right. My cousin is bedridden, and I have something important to attend to. Besides, our other relatives are not home either. Even though I do feel uneasy about it, but that girl will be happy to see you."

Haruka blinked confused, huh? What is he talking about?

The man entered the house, and Haruka stood there puzzled. Huh? From where he stood, Haruka noticed him briefly talking on the phone before he grabbed something from the corner.

"Okay, just in case for emergency measures. Take this stuff. But well you"re her boyfriend, so she could just take blood from you. Her room is on the second floor, on the far left. Take care of her, and goodbye."

"Goodbye?" Haruka said. With that odd last exchange, he watched as the blonde-haired man left.

What an odd person. Definitely from her father"s side of the family. Haruka looked at the bag and frowned, inside were tools to suppress blood l.u.s.t. The various items, however, looked more like torture devices. Haruka placed it down beside the bin. He doesn"t need these like that guy just said. Lila can drink from him if she needs it.
