Tsukumo

Viridian lobes closed, tightly and firmly as he continued to sniff around the contents of her neck. He’d definitely had better, but providing the fact he couldn’t find better at this point— she would have to make do. It was possible after a taste, perhaps she would taste better; he definitely hoped this to be the case.

Hunger, thirst could only be the thing currently on his mind. 

He was getting closer to her neck once more. He was..going to bite her soon, she assumed. The other was probably really, well.. 'thirsty' and tired of waiting by now. She heard a single laugh escape his mouth before it happened. He bit down on her neck, his fangs piercing through the skin, and into her flesh. She could feel her blood getting drained, slowly, but surely.

She swallowed painfully, her eyes falling and her chest heaving.  It hurt. More than she had expected it to at first. Wasn't it supposed to just feel like a prick? Well.. these were fangs so..it was obviously going to hurt more, but was it supposed to hurt this much? 

It was almost enough to make her emit a sound. She bit down on the inside of her cheek, to the point where it was almost bleeding. She didn't want to cry out. If she did, it would alert the other students that were resting in their room and they would come running to the kitchen. That was bad.

She didn't want them to get involved.

She couldn't do anything. If he moved a little to the right, then she might be able to do something. But it doesn't seem like he'll be moving anytime soon. As time dragged on, she felt herself getting..weaker. Her head was clouded and the dizziness was beginning to make her slightly sway. Is she going to collapse soon? Maybe. Perhaps it was because of all the blood that was currently being sucked out of her. But surely, the other must've liked that, since she wasn't going to be able to fight back soon.

"Is that what you’re worried about? The same goes for in here, wouldn’t you say?" Kou chuckled quietly as she vocalized her fears. How absurd! This was the school of mutual killing, after all. Any sense of safety or security was entirely relative.

When it came down to it, at least the wild animals were plain in their intentions. The same could not be said of their classmates. It was only human nature to be deceptive; Kou knew that best of anyone. Still, he was not afraid. Why should he be?

"If you’re really worried, Kou-kun will protect you~ You’d like that, wouldn’t you?"

Jesting aside..

"Ah-that reminds me. Aren’t you going to tell me what your name is? Or do I have to ask?" he leaned against the wall, making escape difficult.

Humans were complicated. There was no point in categorizing people as good or bad. The good can easily become the bad, and vice versa. People are driven by emotions. And emotions can be so strong and intense that it drives people to do crazy things. Things like arguments, fights, hurting others, even killing and suicide. She have been here long enough to see it happen to quite a few people.

Kou-kun? Ah. So his name was Kou. Honestly, she wasn't that worried. If worse came to worse, she had her Circus bracelet. She was perfectly capable of fighting, too. Sure, she would appreciate him protecting her and all, but she didn't need it, nor did she like it. "No thanks."

Oh. Now he's leaning against the wall. Something about this was familiar.. Deja vu? He reminded her of the triplets for some reason. This was almost..almost similar to the time when she met Ayato and Raito.

Her name. Oh right. She haven't introduced herself yet, has she? "It's..Tsukumo."

It so turned out that a freezing room and Monobear sweater was the vampire’s consolation prize for being on his best behavior. Some vacation this was; Kou wouldn’t be caught dead wearing the winter clothing so generous provided for them. Still, of the many things he planned to do here at the resort hypothermia didn’t quite make the cut. With a few last minute adjustments in the mirror he was finished and ready to face the world.

Being held here against their will was all the more reason to explore the place to the best of his ability. This bear must be pretty bold to assume that they wouldn’t try and run away. His classmates might not last long against the sheer cold and ferocious wild animals, but he at least stood a fighting chance. He’d cling to that hope and vowed to venture outside and check it out lest the opportunity escape him.

Blowing a blond lock from out his vision, an exasperated whine escaped his lips as the door to his room once again refused to shut all the way. It just needed a little persuasion, that’s all.. Hopefully his roommate wasn’t sleeping too soundly as he repeatedly slammed it back into its frame.

His little outburst caused the light above to flicker before dying out for good. Frozen in place as the sound of footsteps resounded off the walls of the narrow corridor, he uncurled his hand and stepped back from the crushed metal that was once their doorknob. Company.

"Ohh? Who’s this?" he inquired aloud, closing in on them with a cheerful gait.

It was cold. Not to mention, they were up in the mountains and everything, and many wild animals resided around here. That was fairly dangerous. Throughout this whole trip, she had mainly stayed in her room, and occasionally, she would hang out in the cafeteria with the other students that decided to stay in. Sure, she had been outside a couple of times, but she returned after half an hour or so.

For once, she actually wanted to be back at the academy. 

It was quiet as she made her way through the corridor. That was to be expected since more than half of the students were outside playing in the snow. Then she heard footsteps and saw a figure of a rather..tall man heading her way. And he seemed to be calling out to her, too. A student? Yeah, most likely. Stopping in her tracks, she stood in place and waited for the other to approach her. 

Was he a new student? Surely, since she has never seen him before. "Perhaps if we weren't in a setting where wild animals can approach us and attack, then I would be outside. It's also freezing. I would rather stay in here.."
