School was back in session now, and it had definitely been a long, almost never ending summer, and he was glad to actually be going back to class. Of course, that meant leaving his little half-brother all alone in his dorm room, bored out of his mind for endless hours of the day. Especially on days like this one when he had to go off and spend time with his other younger siblings. Of course, Ren and Nao both were so draining on him, that he was glad that they had a new maid in their service. He didn't recognize her or know her as a teacher, as he never had Home Ec, he was a smart, good, if not a bit overworked, student, with very little need to learn such things. But still, the engagement with his siblings had gone fairly normally. Nao was quiet and soft-spoken as usual, and Ren was rude and threw a few temper tantrums. Their dynamic really was quite horrible when he thought about it. But he knew there was nothing he could really do for either of them.

Still, he managed to make it through, a nervous little smile on his face, his ears twitching in his anxiety. He wasn't exactly happy to be having dinner with his siblings, leaving Akira all alone like that. During the time though, he had learned of the maid, and was also offered her services, which of course he politely declined. However, when he left, he thanked her for watching his siblings and rushed out the door before he managed to grab the leftovers that he had requested. Nao had noticed this, and went into their small little kitchen to pack up the little tupperwares in a bag for her older brother. "Would you... Maybe.. Umm.. Mind to.. Bring these down to him..?" Of course she could deny the request, but getting out of their dorm for the evening might be a good thing. "You can have the rest of the night off then.. I can.. Umm.. I can take care of things.. Up here.. F-father wanted you to.. umm.. ch-check in with Luka.. Anyways..."

Luka was panting ever so lightly by the time he managed to reach his dorm room, leaning against the door behind him. He hadn't taken notice to the mess around his room just yet, instead, just standing there for a moment to collect himself. For whatever reason he had decided to run, and he was a book worm, so it wasn't like he was really in shape.

It was about then that his eyes shot open, he could feel the hand around his neck, just gently squeezing a warning for him. Of course, all he could think about was thankfully the monster hadn't left his room. "K-Kyou.."

"Shut it. I'm hungry. Let me out of here." But Luka shook his head before the beast grabbed him by the hair and ripped his head to the side. He let out a bit of a yelp as the monster... bit him. This was becoming far too common these days. But honestly, he would rather it be him than the innocent students of the school. This was his burden to bear. No one else should have to deal with it. It was his responsibility. Kyou. The Darkness. The wellness of the school itself. It was all his responsibility. Or would be soon enough.

But the pain stopped. The knocking.. Was it real? Was someone really trying to get in? Then he thought he heard his name. The beast growled and backed away a bit, flopping himself down on the bed. "You should get that cleaned up before you answer the door."

The catboy shook his head a bit and sighed, placing a hand against his neck as he carefully cracked the door. "Y-yes? Can I help you?"
