It was but a simple, usual day.
She woke up to do what every person does when they wake up, except it was night. And that she lived in the mansion given to her by that man alone.
Then she would walk to Ryoutei Academy, a night school for the rich and celebrities, and be showered with love by students.
"Waah, there's Kurosawa-san!"
"I wish I was her friend..."
"She's so pretty."
She sighed quietly at the attention she received.
What would she define herself? As what they call a Mary Sue in the net.
It was true really; she was the student council president, an intelligent second-year who was fifteen, the most popular and prettiest of all female students while you-know-them were the most attractive male students. If it weren't for all of that man's nagging, as she calls it, she wouldn't even be attending a school in the first place and getting so much attention.
Of course, she wasn't human. Well, in a way she was. She was a witch.
The last one, at that.
And this 'simple, usual day' just turned upside-down as she felt the familiar presences of four vampires near the school.
Yuko packed her bag and walked out, only to be stopped by a fellow classmate's voice.
"K-Kurosawa-san!"
A girl.
"Do you... want to walk home together?" she shyly asked.
The petite student smiled with furrowed eyebrows.
"Sorry, but I can't. Thank you for asking though." Yuko answered, leaving the classroom.
She was exhausted as usual, but even more so as the four familiar presences she believed was just her imagination wasn't helping her focus.
Running a hand through her long light blue hair, she tried to think of another subject... but that plan failed when she was outside the school.
"... What on earth are you guys doing!?" she heard someone say.
Komori Yui's voice.
"Hmph. I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Ruki... Mukami Ruki."
And that was the breaking point of 'those four presences are just my imagination'.
"And... the guy who tightly pinioned you is..."
"Yuma."
"I'm Kou! Nice to meet ya."
"Azusa... Haa... I'm still throbbing somehow..."
"... Um, why does this matter to me...?" Yui asked.
"Heheh. Well, we just moved to this school today~." Kou answered.
"Transfer students...? But, do I have anything to do with you guys?" the girl questioned.
"... You surely believe you're on top." Ruki responded. "... Don't open your mouth like that to your superiors."
He was just the same as Yuko remembered.
"Eh...!?"
"Don't turn your face away. You should be looking straight at me with high spirits."
"Uh..."
"... What are you doing? You."
Shuu's voice.
That was her call to get away.
"Uh... Shuu-san...!?"
Making her escape, she couldn't risk being seen by a Sakamaki nor Shuu. However, the eldest of the Mukami caught sight of light blue hair around the corner.
'That old man...! How could he do this to me...!? I wasn't expecting it to be them that I would be watching over!' Yuko thought angrily with a straight face.
Pulling herself out of her thoughts and lifting her eyes from the ground...
"Uwaah!"
Yuko nearly fell at the sight of Ruki just in front of her.
"Quiet." he said. "Who are you?"
Staring for a moment, she attempted to walk past him despite knowing that wasn't going to happen. He caught her wrist.
"Answer me."
Tired of everything, Yuko sighed, "... Haa... I never thought we'd meet like this again..."
"So it is you." Ruki replied, surprised.
"Yes, it is I the great Yuko." she sarcastically said.
"I didn't think the person he said would be watching over us would be you."
"Neither did I. Now, let go."
But instead of granting the witch's order, he pulled her wrist, dragging her with him to home.
"O-Ow! Don't pull my wrist if you're taking me home!" she frantically said.
Yuko rubbed the wrist Ruki had grabbed on.
"My wrist is red thanks to you, Ruki-kun..."
They were at home now, in the living room of the now-Mukami mansion with everyone gathered.
"... Yuko-chan...!?" Kou shockingly said.
"What the!?" Yuma followed. "I thought you were dead!"
"Yuko?" Azusa, too, followed.
"Explain yourself for the past decades." Ruki demanded.
"You can ask that man..." Yuko trailed off.
"Yuko." the eldest firmly said.
"I was doing his dirty work as well as things of my own." she finally answered.
Suddenly, Kou hugged her from the side.
"Yay! Now the family is really reunited!" he happily smiled.
"My feelings are mixed in seeing you four again." she plainly replied. "But I assure you I'm happy as well."
Detaching Kou from herself, Yuko stood up from the couch and brushed herself off.
"My turn for questions." the witch said. "Kou-kun, what did that man give you to replace your eye?"
"A magic eye." answered the idol.
"Azusa-kun, you haven't been hurting yourself too much lately, have you?"
"... Justin mustn't go yet..." the masochistic youngest brother answered, caressing 'Justin'.
"Tell me you aren't eating too much sugar cubes, Yuma-kun."
"You can't take Sugar-chan away from me." was the gardener's reply.
"And Ruki-kun. I unfortunately don't have anything to ask about you."
"Am I really not going to be interrogated?" the leader smirked.
"Then how many times have you read that book?" Yuko asked.
"I've lost count."
"Expected..."
"Tell us you haven't acquainted yourself with those guys." Yuma said.
"Just one..." she answered hesitantly, her eyes slowly averting.
"What?"
"Playing piano for the eldest after school sometimes maybe has become a guilty pleasure..."
Ruki sighed.
"Yuko..."
"I know."
Yuko sighed exasperatedly, snapping them back to the most important topic, "Let's just get going and capture Eve."
"You four have problems with first names." Yuko said, revealing herself to Yui.
The platinum-blonde haired girl was restrained by Kou, Yuma, and Azusa while the other two watched.
"Livestock is livestock." Ruki reasoned.
"Eve... is really Eve after all." Azusa replied.
"She's a sow. Period." Yuma responded.
"She is masochistic to stay with these guys~." was Kou's response.
"Haa... It'll be a miracle to hear you all call her by name on the same day..." the petite girl sighed.
"Yuko-san...?"
Yui's eyes widened in disbelief at the sight of her friend.
"Good evening, Yui-chan." smiled Yuko.
"No way... Yuko-san is a vampire?" Yui questioned.
The witch chuckled, answering, "That's incorrect. The term is rather 'witch'."
"You're a witch..." Eve said in almost a mutter, still in disbelief.
"Hey, even if you awaken as a vampire will your beliefs be reduced to nothing?" Kou asked.
"Awaken... as a vampire..." she said.
"... You don't know? If you keep having your blood sucked... you'll become a vampire..." explained the masochistic brother.
"You must really think those guys have compassion for you. Hah?" Yuma asked.
"Compassion...?" Yui replied.
"Hmph... You're quite foolish. Vampires having compassion... Your masters think nothing more of you than bait..." Ruki said.
"Uh...!"
"Or are you a Do M to the marrow of your bones? Heheheh... You're an M Neko-chan after all~." followed Kou.
"She... must be. I... and her... are the same, it's true... isn't that right? Haha." Azusa laughed.
"... E-Even if I ran away... I don't have a reason to follow you. I heard they you're also vampires..." Yui stuttered.
"Yeah. We are vampires." the eldest responded. "However, you shouldn't be with them. We're protecting you."
"Yeah, 'protecting'..." Yuko stared at him.
"S-Such a thing, I don't believe you...!" the human said.
"Even if you don't believe us, do you think you can successfully escape on your own?" the idol questioned. "You don't understand the kind of scent you have, it's pretty special. Personally, you shouldn't spread it around like that."
"You'll be caught in a blink of an eye if you escape, and be sentenced back to your pigpen. But... it's up to you." Yuma followed.
"Or... are you sure because... they've been brainwashing you...?" asked Azusa.
"Brainwashed...? That's not true, I..." Yui trailed off.
"... Justin... This child, it seems that the truth has finally come out..." he said.
"Anyway, it won't be so bad. Come with us." said Ruki, ignoring Yuko's stare.
"I..."
Eve thought for a moment.
"Time is ticking, Yui-chan." Yuko said.
"What should I do, she's fallen silent, Ruki-kun. Release her?" Kou asked his brother.
"Don't release. Hold onto her for a little more time." Ruki answered.
"Keh... She's still worrying about this. I can't believe it!" said Yuma.
"... According to her... she... doesn't know a vampire's true character... It's unavoidable, right?" Azusa asked.
"Ahh... I'm getting irritated." the blond said. "Hey, hey, M Neko-chan, won't you be reasonable? We're always gentle... You're making a big mistake!"
"Hey, hey, Kou, you're not convincing her. Well, I'm also starting to get irritated." Yuma replied.
"Uh... Anyway, I don't want to go with you guys...! It's unreasonable to run away... I don't think you understand that I don't want to run away...! So, let me go!" Yui finally answered.
"Saying that won't work, you know..." the witch responded.
"... Hey, Yuma." the eldest ordered.
"Tch... I got it. I usually don't raise a hand to a woman, but... Yah!"
"Agh...!?"
Yuma shoved the human, causing her to run into Kou.
"Whoa...! Catch!"
"Let's bring her back. Carry." ordered Ruki.
"Yes, yes. Ruki-kun has gotten stricker compared to the old days." the idol replied.
"How weird, the Sakamakis are so carefree." Yuma noted, looking around.
"Hah. I didn't even cast a spell." Yuko snickered.
"... We should leave the garden... before they come, yeah." Azusa said.
"Hmph. Imagine it. A world with no natural enemies." Ruki imagined. "Does the savaged beast being kept in the zoo watch out for their surroundings?"
"Ahh... Well, that's right." the gardener agreed. "Exposing yourself to the enemy while you're vulnerable. Pathetic!"
"—Now they'll know how it feels to lose something important to them." Ruki said.
"Ufufu. Sleep well, Yui-chan." Yuko smiled to the girl, finger nearing her forehead.
N/A: I haven't written in forever... Anyways, I've only recently gotten into DiaLovers (Would being in the fandom for only four months still count as recent? Lol.) and have had more nosebleeds I can count. And lemme just say it, Yuko is not exactly much of a Mary Sue (She's not perfect.) but go ahead and categorize her as one if you'd like, it won't offend me, I promise. I'm going to do a little mix of the anime and game for More Blood/Dark Fate by the way. The translations being used are by Akuichansera (You should check her blog out! She's a cool person!) and I have yet to ask for permission but I decided to post this anyways. I will ask for permission right after I post this first chapter because I'm not rude like some others are excluding the people who didn't know to.
Who will Yuko-chan end up with? I have an attraction to the eldest in the Sakamaki and Mukami family so... dunno. • w • She might even end up being with Yui or single, my poor loli— *Gets shot.*
Concerning the school name, I'm not really sure if that's correct but someone said it was Ryoutei Academy. Also, sorry if personalities were OOC, I have yet to capture some characters' personality.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this, liked Yukocchi, and will read on when the next chapters are up which I will try to make weekly! *Jumps into trashcan.*
