Chapter 29 - Chapter 27: A Promise

I opened my eyes slowly and saw Luna in front of me.

"Huh?" I wondered what she was doing as I then pushed her away from my face and stood up.

"What were you doing?" I asked as she blushed.

"I was trying to sleep..." She said as I looked confused.

"Your bed is over there." I said as she sighed.

"I must be tired." She said as I assumed she just came back from training Emi.

"Hey can't you open a portal to the land of the dead and train her there?" I asked as she nodded.

"Yeah I can." As I then suggested the idea.

"That way there would be monsters she can fight." I said as she liked the Idea.

I mean Luna came from that place, She probably misses it.

"You can reunite with your ermm.. friends there." I said smiling as she looked at me in disbelief.

"I don't have friends there." She said as I gave her an "Oh..."

"Well you should sleep then." I said as she nodded and laid on bed.

"Good night." I said as I then looked at the time.

It was now 7:00 Am.

I saw Ketsu while walking to the kitchen.

"Oh you're awake sir!" He said as I then looked at him.

"Hey Ketsu." I said as I then reached the kitchen.

"Sir I found something weird today." Ketsu said as I began getting curious.

"What is it Ketsu?" I asked a he then began moving and gestured for me to follow him.

Once I did I found a.. Girl?

She was wearing some sort of official Chinese garments? She seemed to be moving in circles.

"She's probably what's known as a Jiangshi." Ketsu said.

"A Jiangshi? She's certainly cute." I sai as I looked at her more.

She had pale white skin. and blue eyes with long purple hair.

She also had some sort of talisman on her hat.

"Excuse me miss?" I approached her and she quickly looked at me.

"H-Human?!" She asked as I then shook my head.

"No, I'm a Vampire." I said as she then replied with an "Oh..."

"I'm Yi nuo!" She said as I then replied.

"Haruki Suou." I smiled at her as she seemed happy.

"Yi nuo wants to find humans! need blood!" She said as I then looked at her.

I think she would've bitten me had I told her I'm a human.

"Yi nuo I don't think you should bite humans." I said as she seemed disappointed now.

How can such a girl look adorable?

She gave me a pout.

"But Yi nuo needs blood!" She said as I then shook my head.

"No blood." I said as she now seemed saddened.

She seriously looks cute when she's like this.

[ The Higher Being Dracula is questioning whether you're sadistic or not. ] 

Eh? Shut up Higher beings now's not the time.

"I have a better Idea Yi nuo." I said as I then took her to the kitchen.

Once there I checked the fridge and found some food.

"Have you ever tried Human food?" I asked as she shook her head.

Has she only been living off of blood?

I had many questions about this girl.

"No Yi nuo only drank blood and milk!"

That's cute.

I pat her head. and then tell her "I'll make you food and you'll like it.. It's food so good you'll never wanna taste human blood." I said smiling at her.

She seemed excited at trying actual food. 

I made her some steak with melted cheese on top of it.

Using some spices I gave the food flavor and then handed the food to her.

"Here you go Yi nuo, This is Haruki's special steak!" I said proudly

I cut a piece of the steak and fed her.

Yi nuo's eyes lit up as she was happy.

She then ate the rest of the plate. She must've really Liked it.

"Yi nuo likes this food!" She said happily as I smiled.

I pat her head again as she ate.

"Is Haruki Yi nuo's big brother?" She asked as I nodded smiling.

"Yeah.. You can call me that if you want Yi nuo." I said as she hugged me.

"Hey sir, You should ask her about ghosts." Ketsu interrupted as I then asked Yi nuo.

"Have you seen any ghosts here?" I asked as she shook her head.

"Yi nuo has not seen any ghosts. She only saw Big brother Haruki!" She said.

The way she called me big brother really reminded me of Ai back when she was a kid...

I began feeling emotional as I hugged Yi nuo.

"Don't worry Yi nuo, it's all going to be fine. Big brother will take care of you now. It's a promise." I said as she looked at me.

"Promise?" She asked as I nodded.

"Yes it's when two people agree to something that they'll do and never plan on breaking such a thing. That is a promise." I said as she smiled and hugged me.

"Yay! Yi nuo won't be alone anymore!" She said as I nodded.

I'll protect Yi nuo no matter what happens. 

That was my promise.

She was still a child so I needed to at least care for her.

I looked at Ketsu who spoke.

"Sir I think there is a ghost somewhere around here." He said as I then looked at Yi nuo and then my eyes moved to Ketsu. 

"Hey Yi nuo, how about we go to my room you can rest there." I said as her eyes lit up and nodded.

"Yes let's go!" She stood up and so did i.

I took her to my room which was empty.

Once there, I tucked her to bed.

"Sleep well." I smiled as she nodded and closed her eyes.

I then left my room and began heading to where Ketsu speculated the ghost is.

We made it to room 424.

"This room seems to be the room of the receptionist lady." Ketsu said.

"Wait this is Emi's room?" I asked as he nodded.

"But... Doesn't that mean I'm going to enter Emi's room?" I asked as he nodded again.

"We need to find more clues to find out how and why there's a ghost following her." He said as I then sighed.

He was right. We needed to find whatever ghost is haunting Emi.

"Open the door for me then Ketsu." I said as he phased through the wall and opened the door.

Once the door opened I entered and looked around.

. . .

This room was a mess.

How was she seriously living like this?

Anyways it wasn't the time for dilly dallying.

I began looking around her room to find some evidence.

Once there I found a weird looking paper.

It was a talisman from what I could see.

It had written words on it and there were multiple of them.

Some were even hung on the wall.

I grabbed one of the talismans and then was about to leave until I heard a voice.

It was Emi... She was entering her room and I was still there.

I quickly hid under the bed and when i did she entered.

"Ketsu Find a way to distract Emi so I can leave." I said as he shook his head.

"I have no way to do such things.." He said as Emi then began talking.

"Hmm.. What should I do? I want to impress Haruki by showing him my progress." She was talking to herself as I was under the bed.

Emi... I hope you forgive me for Trespassing.

"Maybe I should tell him to check out my training tomorrow!" She said as she then seemed to jump on the bed from what I heard.

"Hmm.. For now I guess I'll go shower." She said as she then entered the bathroom.

Once there I took the chance and told ketsu to lock her door until I leave.

I stood up from under the bed when she entered and then I left quickly.

"Hey! What's going on?!" She screamed as she tried opening the bathroom door.

By then I have already left and Ketsu seemed to have come back so I assume the bathroom door was open now.

I ran to my room and once I entered I saw Luna looking at my bed.

"Oh hey Lu-" She grabbed me and asked.

"Who is that sleeping in your bed?" Ah crap...

I'm probably dead aren't I?
