Chapter 1: Rain
Parings: OC/Reiji, OC/Kanato, OC/Raito and Yui/Ayato, Yui/Subaru, Yui/Shu
I watched the shrouds of gray clouds blocking the sky from the window of the cab. After the unexpected stop that snapped me out of daze, I got out of the car to see an empty church lot.
As I approached the church in the light rain shower, I spotted a nun locking the gates. It was a bit off to see a church closing at such an hour. I thought the house of 'God' was open 24/7 to everyone.
The nun eyed me curiously and gave me an estranged look. Was it my appearance? The last time I checked, I was only five feet tall with short brown shoulder-length hair, violet eyes and wearing some blue denim jeans, a black shirt and boots, with my large dark coat to keep me warm. I couldn't have looked that strange, could I?
"Hello?" She greeted , but I could hear from the tone of her voice that she wasn't expecting anyone to drop by.
"I'm the hunter's granddaughter, Kalya. My grandfather consulted with Mr. Komori over the phone." I handed the nun a letter, the red seal of the cross broken. I watched patiently as she viewed the contents of the parchment and spoke.
"Ah, yes. Father Komori was expecting your arrival." The nun handed me back a folded paper and my letter. "This is the address he wishes you to go to."
"I understand." I nodded and headed off in the same taxi. I opened the folded paper to see the last name Sakamaki followed by an address, which I told the taxi driver.
After a few minutes passed by I ordered the driver to drop me off just a mile away from the castle-like Victorian mansion. I figured it would be best if no one spotted me. Especially not some vampires if I walked along the dirt road, away from the path. I smelled a strong aroma of roses as I was getting closer to the Sakamaki's estate.
Why is the gate open? Is someone else in the house?
I quickly rushed in, away from the light coming from the windows and, as quietly as possible, hid below the ledge of a nearby window at the side of the building . I peered to see the living room, seeing a blonde female kneeling beside a luxurious couch on which a boy around the same age was sleeping.
He resembled one of the men in my grandfather's letter, one of the many vampires that possibly lurked in the mansion.
I watched as the girl placed a hand above his chest and pulled back in shock. All the alarms in my mind were going off like a timed bomb.
"Shit! Get out of there you stupid girl, before he wakes up," I whispered to myself surveying the scene.
What is she doing?!
I watched in horror as she was dialing someone in distress waiting for an answer. I mentally cursed, knowing that she would possibly call the cops. Abruptly, the boy from the couch snatched her phone away.
I watched as the vampire took her under him.
My mission was now foiled due to what? A fluke?
Saving her was the only thought that came to my mind now as I saw the vampire inches away from her neck, ready to bite her. I had to force my way in. I took several steps back and ran towards the building, crashing through the window, my arms held up to protect my face, and a dagger gripped tightly in my right hand as the shards of glass slid across the floor. I landed a few feet in distance from the two.
"What the fuck?!" he yelled.
I lunged forward to attack but the vampire evaded me so fast that I stabbed the sofa instead. The girl under me was still in shock.
"Run you idiot!" I told her, my eyes still glued to the vampire.
I yanked her by the arm to head off, but the redhead blocked our path.
"Now what do we have here?" he smirked. "Breaking and entering someone's house and waking me up from my nap. Someone needs to be punished."
"Ayato, what's with all the commotion?" The voice came from another direction . A tall neatly dressed man in glasses.
"Damn you Reiji," I heard the teenager called Ayato mutter under his breath.
"Please save us!" The girl behind me begged.
I quickly yanked her back behind me, still holding my knife. "He's one of them too girl."
The man named Reiji was looking at us unimpressed.
"Who are you?" the blonde asked me.
"Kalya Blackhearte." I responded.
"There has to be a mistake. I'm Yui Kumori and was sent by my father to this location." Yui looked at me with pleading eyes as if I could've given her an answer for as to why she was here.
I backed up slowly along with the girl until someone appeared behind me. Before I could react, I was pushed and dropped my knife. I swung around to my attacker, but he was gone and so was my weapon.
"Over here little girl. Looking for something?" At the top of the staircase was yet another vampire. He resembled Ayato: red hair, bright emerald eyes. He wore a fur jacket and a fedora. A smug grin that plastered his face grew wider as he gazed at us hungrily. "These bitches smell delicious."
"You don't possibly think a small thing like this would stop us?" I watched as a purple headed child standing next to the teen sniffed my blade.
"Ara~, Reiji. I think she coated this with poison," he informed, hugging his bear closer in excitement.
"This little thing is a hunter? More like a prey," Ayato sneered.
"Such distasteful manners towards your hosts," Reiji pushed his glasses up and glared at me with hate.
"Don't be mean Reiji, they both smell so nice and sweet." The redhead in the fedora appeared on Yui's left, licked her cheek and disappeared before I could take a whack.
"Let me have a taste as well. I want to try too." The one holding the teddy bear appeared at my side licking my ear lobe and moving away quickly. I swiped my arm to remove his disgusting saliva off my ear.
"This one is yummy." The purple-headed boy commented. His gloomy features were disturbing to me. Something in the back of my mind told me to steer clear of him.
"Obviously you two have no manners towards guests at all," Reiji disapproved of their behavior.
"What? Doesn't everyone want to taste something that looks yummy? Right Kanato?" The fedora guy replied defensively, seeking conformation from the one with the teddy bear.
Ayato called out possessively,"Hands off, Yours Truly saw the blonde one first, so I get her."
A different voice ridiculed Ayato, "Lame. Who the hell are you calling Yours Truly? I'm so sick of hearing you say that."
"Screw you. I know it's you Subaru. Show yourself." Ayato rose from his seat facing the wall.
"Over here." The voice belonged to the white-haired teen who was standing by the fireplace.
"I thought it stunk of human in here," Subaru scoffed in disgust.
"So it was you," Ayato announced, stating the obvious.
Ignoring Ayato's obvious comment, Subaru asked, "How dare you interrupt my precious sleep?"
"How did you get in here?" I heard Yui pipe from behind me.
Subaru narrowed his eyes at us, yelling, "My question first!" With his brute strength, he broke the wall with his bare fist. Talk about anger management, I could not help but be amused despite the dangerous situation.
"Has anyone been told anything about these to women who have come here?" Reiji asked.
"Hmmm are they the ones he mentioned?"A sleepy teen asked himself. My eyes darted to the couch across the room. There was another blood sucking leech in front of my eyes. He was listening to his mp3 player attached to his necklace.
Just how many of them are there?!
"Shu, you know about this?" Reiji asked with furrowed brows.
"Maybe." Shu replied back.
"I'd like to know more," Reiji commanded.
I would also like to know.
Shu explained the misunderstanding to them,"That guy contacted me, he said, 'we have guests arriving from the Church, treat them with respect.'" This half-assed answering guy was no help at all. Some more detail would be helpful!
"So these two are actually prospective brides?" Ayato asked.
The guy with the fedora joked to the others, "The fiery one sure doesn't act like one; she's barbaric. And the other one seems more like a sacrifice than a bride."
"Oh right…He also mentioned not to kill them," Shu lazily informed.
"This is going to be a veerrrryyy long relationship then," the redhead with the fedora said, watching the two of us carefully.
Reji spoke while pushing his glasses up, "It seems there is no misunderstanding. Shall we introduce ourselves?" He made a small pause and peered over to the one on the couch. "The eldest is on the couch, he's Shu, I'm Reiji, the third is Ayato,"
"I won't let you get away next time," Ayato commented.
"Kanato…"
"Please let me sample you again sometime," he smiled at me creepily. That bastard.
"Raito…"
"Pleased to meet you, Little Bitch and Barbaric Woman."
"and the last son, Subaru." Reiji finished his introductions.
"Th-this has to be a mistake, I have to contact my father." Yui's voice trembled, her eyes finally showing some of the fear she was supposed to feel. But before she could get her cell, Ayato pulled it out of her hands.
He dangled the cell in front of her eyes, pulling it away before she could reach it. The redhead laughed, then threw it over to Subaru, who glanced at it as if it was a contagious disease.
"My cell phone." Yui dashed over to grab it but was too late as Subaru crushed it with his bare hands.
Yui backed away.
"Don't go near them, don't you ever listen?" I barked at her; this was not the time to take these guys lightly.
"She's right you know, you should really listen to the Barbaric Woman," Raito flashed his teeth towards Yui and I after appearing next to us. She shrieked and tripped in fear, scraping her knee in the process. The brothers all looked at her with blood lusting eyes.
I watched carefully in all directions, but there were too many of them.
"Vampires…" she said in disbelief and pulled out her pink rosary, but the vampires only laughed. I snatched her arm and pulled her up. "It doesn't work on them. Garlic, sunlight, crosses, and holy water; useless."
"You humans are so dumb." Reiji said, taking a seat on the couch nearby, unimpressed by Yui's attempt.
I whispered over my shoulder, "Yui I want you to run when I tell you to; find a way out."
She nodded. I slowly reached for one of my smoke bombs from the back of my pocket.
"You honestly believe that you can escape?" Ayato questioned mockingly.
"Yes, I do." I said with a smug look and threw two smoke bombs in the brothers' direction that engulfed the whole room in a gray cloud within seconds.
"Go now!" I yelled to Yui.
"Your manners are so deplorable." I heard Reiji say.
We bolted through the doors behind us and down, at what seemed like an endless hallway. Few candles were lit alongside the wall, which was troubling since I could barely see which direction Yui was running to. We passed by a cart of sweets and food while running. Kanato stood by the pasties."I'll break you~" he chimed.
I cursed and changed our course, barely yanking Yui away from the reach of the little vampire.
"Little Bitch and Barbaric Woman, why are you running?" Raito appeared in front of me to stop me from my tracks. I stepped back just to swing my leg at him, but he was too fast and got behind me. He pulled my wrists behind my head.
"Keep running Yui!"
"Now, now we wouldn't want you to get hurt now do we?" Raito leaned in towards my neck, smirking against my skin.
"You're the one who's going to get hurt." I hissed, using all my force to push backwards and slam him against the wall. He grunted in pain and I dashed off to catch up to Yui.
"That hurt you Barbaric Woman!" I heard his curse from a distance.
I took a sharp turn to the left and followed Yui's fading footsteps echoing from above. As I reached the top, the second floor hallway upstairs was too dim to see so I kept going forward while looking through the rooms to find Yui.
I came to a stop as one door was wide open. On the ground in front of the entrance were a few broken chains and a padlock. I found Yui sitting in the room with her eyes glued to a diary in her hands.
"Yui, are you alright?!" I asked.
"My-my father's diary," she mumbled, not even listening to me.
"Now's not the time." I bent down, ready to yank her back up, but then I saw the man in the photo and stopped, utterly shocked.
"He's the one who hired me. This was all some lie, we were lured here!" I gasped, realizing that something was terribly wrong.
"Of all the rooms you had to pick the one we sealed off," Kanato sang.
"How did you two even get in? Barbaric Woman…Little Bitch, you two should be punished," Raito said, grinning from ear to ear as if finally catching his prey.
Ayato appeared from the side, grabbing Yui by the face. She squealed, her eyes shaking in fear, almost overflowing with useless tears.
"That's the look that gets my juices flowing," Ayato laughed.
"Bastard-!" I was about to protest when I was abruptly grabbed by Raito again; this time his grip was even tighter as he pulled me away from Yui.
"Ah ah ah, you think I have forgotten what you did?" He smirked, pulling me even closer.
"Perhaps I should partake as well?" Kanato agreed while walking over to Ayato.
"S-stop it!" Yui cried out. I couldn't help her, couldn't move, my wrists hurt.
"There is one fact you two must comprehend: You can never escape from us," Reiji stated, with his glowering eyes looking to Yui and I.
"Get to the point Reiji. Just tell them if they ever try to escape, we'll just simply kill them," Subaru said.
"Damn you all to hell!" I screamed and tried to struggle.
CRASH!
The sound was caused by Shu, his only excuse was that he knocked the mirror over by accident. The next thing I knew was Reiji kneeling next to me with his hand hovering over my face and then, there was nothing but black.
Please Review and tell me what you think.
