Hey guys! I wanted to try to make an angsty one-shot because I don't see this type of story in Diabolik Lovers that often. And my God, I was trying so hard to concentrate while watching the Game Grumps play the Amazing Frog on YouTube. It was so difficult to be serious XD. Please review and enjoy!
And with each passing day, the rose's petals were plucked, one by one… Until the rose was no more.
Laito had latched onto the inside of her thigh, Kanato had her neck in his fangs clutches, and Ayato… God-forsaken Ayato had decided to feed in between her chest.
Yui's vision was blurring, and her entire body stung and ached and burned like an internal hellfire. Still, she futility struggled and kicked as hard as she could despite her injuries.
"Nfufu. Bitch-chan is loooving this, isn't she?" Laito chuckled. "Trying to seduce us with your struggling." Tears pooled up at the corners of her eyes.
'You don't get it. You don't get it at all.'
"Shut up Laito! I only agreed to do this 'cause I was really hungry!" Ayato growled, giving a harsh suck in between her chest. Yui sucked in her breath at the terrible, agonizing feeling. She grit her teeth and closed her eyes, praying that all of this would just disappear.
"Look Teddy. She has such a pained look on her face. Isn't it funny?" Yui could feel Kanato grin into her neck, and cringed at the feeling.
"Stop… stop… just go away. All of you just disappear!" Her body violently trembled. She was losing consciousness quickly, the stinging feeling evaporating like air and vision blending into a mass of darkened colors.
A voice, Ayato's, leaned in to her ear. He hissed quietly, "You will never get away from me Chichinashi. Remember this, Ore-sama is your master. You are worthless, flat-chested bait. A slut. A whore. Food, only food." He bit her collarbone roughly making blood trickle out onto her pale, bruised skin. Her ran his thumb across the blood, smearing it on her skin like painting a pure white canvas.
'Is that what I am? A whore? Father… Father I'm scared. Please, won't you come save me?' Her mind faded into darkness, where cruel uncaring eyes, deadly fangs, whips and chains and bruises and bites plagued her mind, ever vigilant.
When she awoke, all of them were gone. Blood-stained sheets were left in their wake. Yui touched her bites, biting her lip in disgust. She curled up into a ball and let out a quiet, pained wail of fear, sorrow, despair, betrayal. Tears fell from her broken sherbet eyes and splashed onto the bed.
"Why Father, why? Why would you leave me here? Did you hate me? Despise me? Answer me, I beg of you…" She paused and stared at her palms, tracing the indents gently. There had also been a time when Ayato was kind to her too. He would bite her gently, and give her sweet kisses. Where did that Ayato go?
'Stop doing this to yourself. He's not coming for you. No one is. You are alone. You have nothing left to live for. So why should you? Just look at yourself. Tell me, what do you see?'
She got up to look at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were glazed, dead. They had lost their sparkle so long ago, she couldn't even remember. Her hair had lost its special sheen, dried blood clinging to the ends of her hair. And her body… She used to be so proud of it. Now it was marred with scars, bruises, and the ever mocking bite marks. Her father always told her she was beautiful, with pale skin and shiny platinum blond hair and bright pink eyes. That was all gone now. She was now only a shell of who she used to be.
'So, what will it be Yui? Kill yourself and be free from your suffering? Or stay alive and live as food, a whore, a slut, a toy?' The answer was clear.
She stumbled towards her drawer, taking out the gleaming silver knife. She smiled gently at the deadly gleam. In a few seconds, it would all be over. She would be free. And there would be no one to stop her. Yui positioned the knife right at her heart. She gave a content smile for the first time in months.
"Sayonara." With that, she plunged the knife into her heart. She felt no pain, it was quick and easy. Collapsing on the floor, she smiled to herself.
"I'm free." As her blood spilled onto the floor, the torturous prison called the Sakamaki mansion slowly dispersed from her fading vision.
"Chichinashi! I'm hungry!" Ayato appeared in her room. His eyes narrowed slightly. Something was off. Her room reeked of blood, not like it didn't always smell that way, but much stronger. Where was she?
"Chichinashi? Get your ass out here!" Ayato's mind started spinning. Had she left him? How could she leave? No, there was no possible way. His emerald eyes swiveled around the room, desperately searching for the human girl. They landed on their answer immediately.
"CHICHINASHI!" He flew over to the unmoving cold body. His thumb was pressed on her neck, feeling for a pulse. There was none. Her fingers were lightly clenched around the silver knife embedded in her chest.
No. This wasn't happening. This wasn't real. It's a nightmare, and when he woke up Yui would embrace him, give him her sweet blood, make him takoyaki, kiss his face and smile at him sweetly. It finally dawned on Ayato how long it had been since she smiled at him. God, he missed her smile.
"Chichinashi. I command you. Wake up." Still, she did not stir, a peaceful smile on her face.
"YUI!" He was desperate, so god damn desperate to get her back. He needed her, not just her blood but her warmth and love. Fuck, where had he gone wrong? His heart felt like it was shattering into a thousand pieces. Droplets of water landed on her pale cheeks.
"Huh?" Ayato touched his face. Streaks of water were running down his face. Tears? He gave a bitter smile as he stared down at Yui.
"So, Chichinashi. This is how it feels to cry, huh?" He wrapped his arms around her torso and picked her up. He nuzzled his face into her neck, inhaling her sweet scent one last time. This was the start… of his descent into madness.
