We were back at my house. Kai was in bed, but Maki was up and made some hot tea for me and Raiju. I sighed and drank it in one gulp. Maki looked peterbed by my drinking so qucikly but just refilled my cup. My skin itched, and my nailes made me bleed.
"Hachi!" Maki nearly shouted, "Don't do that!"
I sighed and went to the thermostat and turned it to eighty degrees. It was soon warm, and I felt my blood begin to run smothely again.
"Hachi It's late, so I'm going to bed," Maki said, "Go upstairs if you want to talk."
"Fine," I answered, "Come on Raiju, we'll go to my room."
Raiju seemed to twitch at hearing it.
"What'ssss wrong?" I asked.
"It's just that well.....I've never been in um......"
"Well we can't sssstay here and we can't go down sssstairs to Kai's room. Come on," I said starting up the stairs.
Raiju still seemed upset for some reason, but I walked straight up the stairs. The entire second floor was my room. I had a king sized bed pressed up against the back wall and a computer desk with a laptop on it on another wall. My entire east wall was devoted to my stupid random drawings. For a second I was worried that Raiju would say something, but he merely looked around with a starge look on his face. My floors were white carped, and my toes sank it. I pulled over a rolling chair and Raiju sat down awkwardly at my desk chair.
"Firsssst of," I started, "If you ever tell anyone about my sssssisssster then I will behead you ssspimple asssssssss that. Ssssecondly thankssss."
"What are you talking about Hachi???" Raiju said a little too loudly. A thump on the floor told me Maki was angry.
"Keep it down," I answered, "and I mean what I mean. Thanks."
"But I didn't do anything.....and and......"
"But you were there.....and I thank you..." I answered.
"Hachi.....are you going to be ok now?" Raiju asked.
"Hm?" I asked.
"You're cold blooded right?"
"Yessss I'll be fine.....the heat issss nice."
"What do you think the others are doing?" Raiju started.
I turned my head and saw the sun rising over the land.
"Probably ssssleeping," I answered.
"I'm not really tired....." Raiju started.
"Neither am I.....why don't you sssstay for breakfast??"
"Um.....ok....."
