A/N Wow! It's been a while since I have written a fanfiction but I'm exited to get back into it with my new love Diabolik Lovers and if everything goes as planned expect an update every week. Hope you enjoy and as always r&r.
"There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me." I quietly close my copy of Pride and Prejudice that I had been reading in the car; carefully place it in my bag not wanting to damage it, as it was my favorite book. The ride had been quiet, as the driver didn't seem to be one for conversation, which was fine with me because I much preferred anything that didn't involve talking and interacting with others. It must have been this same anti-social attitude that got me moved here to my soon to be new foster home as my old foster parents could no longer keep me due to "unforeseen circumstances" whatever the hell that meant. Once out of the car the driver helps me with my bag but before I can thank him he's gone. Before I can process what just happened it starts to drizzle and I hurry up to the front door of the mansion and knock.
Opening the door stands a guy who appears around my age with purple hair, glasses, and wearing a school uniform in a butler sort of style. "You must be Miss Tsukino I presume? Well hurry up and come in its beginning to rain and I don't have time to deal with you getting ill." Well so much for warm welcomes I thought as I followed him inside. "The others are waiting in the living room so please come this way" As I entered the large living room I noticed five other guys who turned and stared at me as I walked in. "Well, Well so is the cute human girl that is staying with us Reiji? She smells quite sweet if I do say so" exclaimed the guy with reddish brown hair and a fedora. "Yes Laito this is her now if you don't mind I need to make miss Tsukino aware of the rules of the house" "Yes sir" replied the guy named Laito mockingly. "Ummm if you don't mind I have a question about something." I asked Reiji who replied go on with an annoyed look on his face. "I noticed earlier you referred to me as human, why was that exactly, We're all human right? so why did you point that out?" looking at me with an astonished look that I picked up on that Laito replies with a grin "You'll find out soon enough Otaku-chan." "If you don't mind I'd like to finish the introductions" Reiji quickly cuts in pointing to the remaining guys giving me their names in turn. "Thanks Reiji, do you mind if I go to my room to unpack? It's been a long day and I would like to finish my book." I ask "Very well I will show you to your room then." But before I can move I feel something wet licking my cheek and notice it's the one name Kanato and before I can vocalize my discomfort at the gesture he states matter of factly "You taste sweet, let me sample you again sometime." Wanting to avoid him licking me again I make a move to get off the couch and in my haste scrape my knee on the table. That's when I look up at the other who stare intently at the scrape, and I begin get to nervous as I notice the sets of fangs they each have that have now appeared.
Vampires,yes I was living in a house with vampires out of every possible foster home I was in one with vampires, just my luck. "Ohh is otaku-chan scared? Tell me what are you going to do now because I would love to see more of your terrified expressions" Laito whispered in my ear appearing suddenly next to me. "Hey! Hands off what belongs to yours truly!" Ayato shouts pushing Laito out of the way "Me and Teddy want a taste too." Mutters Kanato "Just buzz off already!" shouts Subaru at me as he punches the wall beside me. "Why must you all be so loud?" exclaims Shu who hadn't moved from the other couch the whole time. Having had enough of this I make my decision "I'm not going to run Laito, What would be the point of that? I mean your probably all faster and stronger than me so it wouldn't do me any good therefor logically my best chance is to just stay here and hope you don't kill me as I'm fairly sure you would if I ran." As I give my answer I could tell they were astonished that that's what I chose probably cause most people just ran from them without considering the consequences.
"This is certainly interesting you're the first girl to have enough sense not to run, and considering you seem to be of above average intelligence you probably assume you can concoct an escape plan of some sort later, so I'll tell you this you will never be able to escape from us so make no attempt to do so." Damn sounds like Reiji did see right through me because that was exactly what I was thinking, but he underestimates me because I know I'm smart enough to come up with a plan. "Okay, well now that that's established can I go to my room now?" Reiji then turns and motions for me to follow him upstairs leaving the others disappointed particularly Laito who comments that if I get bored I could find him anytime.
Reiji brings me to a cozy room with cream-colored walls and a large four-poster bed with purple sheets and a connecting bathroom. " In case you were not aware you're going to have to change your schedule while in this house as we sleep during the day and attend classes in the evening, is that understood Aria?" that's fine I tell Reiji, I really didn't mind because I was more of a night owl anyway. "After looking at your previous transcripts I admit I'm impressed, your grades are perfect and you've consistently been in the top of your class, so I'm requesting you be put in the 3rd year with me and Shu." Reiji then makes his way out leaving me to unpack.
As I unpack I begin going over possible escape plans in my head concluding that escaping during the day while the others are asleep is my best bet, but for now I need to bide my time and learn more about them. Once I finish unpacking I grab Pride and Prejudice and curl up on the bed to kill some time before dinner. After about an hour Reiji knocks on my door and comes in "Well having someone in this house who appreciates fine literature is a welcome change." Gesturing to my book "Books are my life, honestly I'd rather read then get involved with others." I tell him "As much as I hate interrupting someone while reading I'm afraid it's time for dinner." I widen my eyes at his mention of dinner to tease him a little "Quit that ridiculous expression, you know exactly what I mean." Reiji says grabbing my arm and pulling me toward the door out of the room.
Dinner was pretty quiet because none of the others talked to each other much, I couldn't help but wonder why there seemed to be so much animosity between them. Breaking the silence I ask Reiji if there was a library in the mansion so I could read more than the few books I was able to bring. "There is you may go with me after dinner, it will be nice for it to get some more use than just myself." "Otaku-chan why not come with me instead? I can show you a way better time than some silly old book." Laito says standing behind me rubbing my shoulders in a seductive manner "No thanks books are fine Laito." I reply pushing him away. Looking as though he was done with the whole thing Shu gets up and leaves saying he couldn't be bothered with this earning him a glare from Reiji.
Reiji finally shows me to the library, which was huge, the excitement on my face clearly showing as Reiji gives me a smile and tells me not to stay to long as sleep was important. "I'll remember that, and thanks for letting me use the library it's nice of you." I say as I begin searching for a book to read. Reiji tells me he will be in his lab if I needed anything and to find my own way back to my room when I was done. I stay in the library until 4am staying up almost all night deciding that was the best way to get prepared to begin night school the next night.
As I make my way back to my room from the library I trip over something in a dimly lit hallway. Confused at what I tripped over I look closer realizing in horror it had been Shu asleep in the hallway. Finally noticing what happened Shu smirks at me "Such a lewd woman, if you wanted to feel my fangs that badly you should have asked" Astonished with what he said I yell at him "I am not lewd I tripped over you because you decided to nap in the hall." "Yes, well who is on top of who exactly?" Shu retorts as he grabs my waist as I try to get up pulling me underneath him. "What the hell Shu! Get off!" I scream at him "I thought you were smart enough not to struggle but oh well I don't really care because I'll have your blood either way" Shu whispers in my ear as he leans in toward my neck. Then I did something that surprised me I yelled for Reiji. "Do you seriously think he'd help you Aria? Save your breath no ones helping you." Closing my eyes for the inevitable I hear footsteps coming down the hall causing me to look over in their direction "What do you think your doing you good for nothing deadbeat! She doesn't belong to you. Typical you always think you should get whatever you want well I'm not letting you this time." Reiji tells Shu pulling him off of me "I'll give you this one Reiji, but we'll see who wins in the end" Shu says as he leaves.
"We did you yell for me" Reiji asks me "Because you seem to dislike Shu the most so I figured you wouldn't want him to get the satisfaction of biting me." I say explaining my reasoning "Is that so? Well you do have a point; it would anger me to no end for him to have you first. So perhaps I should remedy that." Reiji gives me a wicked grin pinning me to the wall with one hand preventing any escape.
