DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANY CHARACTERS. REJET DOES.

Summary: Set years after Yui was welcomed into the Sakamaki household and after she chooses Ayato as her only lover. The Sakamakis and Mukamis must move to the Americas to live alongside the Tsukinami brothers, where they meet Katya and Karina, their daughters. Love, tragedy, and secrets bring chaos to all three families. Who will survive? What does the future bring?

Chapter 1: Present

Yui Komori looks out at the bright stars from her terrace. She sighs lowly, remembering the past. She couldn't believe how time has flown by. She chuckles lowly, feeling the wind on her face and blonde hair. She feels a strong pair of arms hugging her from behind, circling around her waist, and kissing her neck, trying not to pierce her pale skin.

"Hey… you seem deep in thought. Care to share?"

Yui smiles, knowing that voice. It's of her lover, Ayato Sakamaki. She hugs his arms tightly, not leaving her eyes from the night sky.

"Just remembering how time has flown by. It's been so long since I was brought here."

Ayato chuckles at her answer.

"Yeah. It has. I still can't believe you chose me over the rest of my brothers, including the Mukami's and the Tsukinami's."

Yui sighs, turning around and placing her arms around his waist. She looks up at him.

"And I don't regret choosing you. Believe it or not, I love you. I can't wait to become Mrs. Sakamaki."

Ayato grabs her hand and kisses where the finger where her engagement ring is placed at, not leaving his eyes from Yui's face. He then kisses her forehead and hugs her.

"And I can't wait either. For you to become fully mine. I love you."

Both share a kiss and look up at the night sky. It's been a peaceful sight for years. The Samaki's and Mukami's eventually moved on from their hatred and annoyance towards each other that they learned how to cope with each other to the point of now living together under one house. Even though the Mukami's weren't pureblood vampires, they were considered as family because their father had given them another chance in life, thus, tying the conclusion that they were also brothers to the Sakamaki men.

A 17 year old Karina Raminoff and 19 year old Katya Tsukinami walk through the door. Karina looks for her father and uncle as Katya walks upstairs, leaving to her room. She's been stressed with her online classes as of lately, since her first exams for the semester are creeping up fast.

"Uncle Carla, Dad, I'm home!"

Karina walks to the living room, dropping her bookbag on the sofa. She walks to the kitchen and opens the fridge, grabbing some orange juice. She places it on the table while finding a cup to pour her orange juice in. She then pours orange juice on her cup and drinks it, putting the orange juice away while holding her cup on her other hand, closing the fridge. She hums while drinking her orange juice from the cup she had on her hand, walking back to the living room. She grabs her bookbag from the sofa and walks to the dining room, dropping her bookbag on the table. She places her cup of juice also on the table and sits down, taking her homework out of her bookbag. She grabs her pencil and starts to work on her homework for the night.

Shin Tsukinami walks downstairs along with his brother, Carla Tsukinami. He notices that the lights are turned on in the living room, dining room, and kitchen. He walks through the dining room, noticing his daughter, Karina, doing homework on the table. He places a hand on her shoulder, leaning down and kisses her head.

"How was school?"

Not taking her eyes from her homework, Karina smiles.

"Good, but as always, boring."

Shin chuckles at his daughter's answer.

"You do know that you still have the option of being home schooled."

Karina stops doing her homework and stands up from the chair and hugs her father. She inhales and exhales, smiling softly.

"I'm fine like that. Thank you daddy. Anyway, classes make school boring and unbearable, but having friends beside me makes my life at school easier."

She looks up at her father, smiling. Shin caresses her light brown hair, wondering how lucky he is to have her as his daughter.

"I still remember the day I found you in the forest with your uncle Carla. I couldn't leave you all alone that night."

Karina sighs lowly.

"I just wish I could remember what had happened prior to our meeting dad. I still wonder how did I end up in the forest."

"I do too, but you were just five years old."

Shin looks at his daughter.

"You had your pink dress all dirtied up. Your hair was tangled, as if you wandered around for days. You were a tough cookie Karina."

Karina chuckles and smiles, looking at her father.

"I'll work hard to make you proud dad."

Shin hugs Karina tightly.

He was very proud of her. She has good grades in school, getting honor roll whenever she can, and has the love for the arts. He still remembers the time when she danced to a sequence of the red shoes.

He misses the days where he would drop her off to her ballet classes. Sadly, she had to leave them due to an injury on her ankle a few years back. Karina was afraid to dance ballet and decided to just use her energy for school.

Nonetheless, Shin Tsukinami loved his daughter dearly.

Karlheinz walks through the mansion where all the Sakamaki and Mukami brothers lived. He took his glasses off, putting them away.

He smiles at what looks like a family reunion in the living room. Everyone seems to be bickering and talking to each other.

He clears his throat, making his presence known.

The noise stops as everyone looks up at Karlheinz.

"Well, now that that's settled. I called a family meeting for something important."

Reiji, standing behind the sofa, looks at his father and asks,

"Something important?"

Everyone looked at each other confused. Karlheinz just smiled, knowing that he'd enjoy this too easily.

"Yes. Something important. It seems that I feel that everyone needs a change of scenery occasionally, don't you agree Shu?"

Shu, laying down on the sofa, opens his eyes, and shrugs, not caring what his father says. He plugs both earphones in, listening to his usual classical music. He yawns, getting comfortable on his sofa and closes his eyes. Reiji just chuckles and smiles at his brother's antics. Sure, they got along better than before, but that didn't change their attitudes or personality and occasionally argue or bicker at each other. Just not as much it used to be.

Ayato, hiding his face on Yui's neck, raises an eyebrow at his father's words. Change of scenery? Pfft. Everyone had graduated high school, but Subaru and Kou. Currently, they are all attending night classes at college, some even had online classes as they wanted to avoid people overall.

Ayato hugs Yui, as she was sitting on his lap. Yui listens intently at Karlheinz, wondering what words will come out of his mouth that seem important. She wondered as to why a family meeting was called out of the blue.

As for Ruki, he knew that a big change was coming up. He chuckled at his father's words. There must be a plan. A plan that their father and creator has been working on his mind for quite some time.

Karlheinz smiles menacingly. He chuckles and thinks carefully, wanting to impact his dear children.

"Well, I made the decision to move everyone to the United States."

Shu's eyes opened wide. Reiji was speechless. Ayato's head shoots up. Ruki looks surprised. Yui blinked a few times, not believing the news. Kou coughed the blood he was drinking from his cup. Yuma looks pissed off. Laito looks sad. Kanato looks confused. Azusa sighs. Subaru punches a wall, looking not too pleased at the news they were receiving from him.

Karlheinz was enjoying everybody's faces. He wanted to laugh hard.

"One more thing."

Subaru scoffs.

"Tch! There's more to your 'wonderful' surprise?!"

Karlheinz sighs, not losing his smile.

"You will be taking Kino to your new adventure."

Everyone groans loudly and start talking at the same time.

Karlheinz couldn't contain his laugh any longer. He laughs at his family's reaction. Very priceless. He would forever cherish their faces.

"Pack up to be ready for tomorrow night. It'll be a very long destination."

Reiji opens his mouth, but words couldn't form. Thank god, their father was smart enough to send them to English classes or else, they all would have been screwed.

"So what part of the Americas we'll be living at?"

The question came from Shu, who was sitting up, but had already his closed his eyes.

Karlheinz responds with a smile.

"You'll be living where the Tsukinami's currently live, Cambridge, Ohio. Oh and I forgot to add, the mansion isn't ready to be lived in for the moment, so you'll all be living with the Tsukinami's."

Shu gets up from the sofa, taking his earphones off.

"So troublesome."

He walks away from the family meeting as the others did the same not too long after.

Karlheinz chuckles. This will be a very interesting year, but it was time to commence his plan. Take back what's his. The American territory from those people.

Carla is sitting down on his favorite chair, thinking what has been talked about. Shin walks into his office, closing the door quietly.

"We've been living in peace for years."

Carla looks up at his younger brother, nodding in agreement.

"What worries me is Karina. With everyone coming to Cambridge and living next door, don't you think they'll notice right away that we have a human living among vampires?"

Shin nods at Carla's words. It's been years since they've seen the Sakamaki and Mukami families. Ever since Yui decided to stay with Ayato, they felt the need to move on their lives and not stay in Japan. Even though they were brothers, they used to have a competition on who was the better brother, but that all changed with Katya's birth and adopting Karina in the later years of their lives in America.

Shin sighs lowly.

"Thank goodness we changed. With Katya's birth, we seem to confirm our suspicions. We could finally have a first blood line son or daughter if we ever fall in love with the woman of our choice."

Carla chuckles, shaking his head.

"Do you remember how crazy we got to the point of kidnapping Yui?"

Shin laughs.

"We've come far, haven't we, brother?"

"Yes, we have come far. A mansion, our own businesses thriving, and our own family with a human as my niece."

Shin chuckles.

"So, how shall we tell Katya and Karina that more vampires are our next-door neighbors?"

Carla crosses his legs, thinking.

"That damn Karlheinz, always wanting to ruin the peace. Does he even know about Karina's existence?"

Carla sighs, nodding at his brother's question.

Shin leans against the desk, sighing lowly.

"We can tell them during dinner tonight. From what Karlheinz has told me over the phone, they are to be leaving tomorrow night from Japan. So, you could say the day after, they would be arriving here at night."

Shin nods.

"Friday night?"

"Yes. Friday night. They'll be staying with us for a few days until some reparations on the mansion are completed."

Shin looks at his watch.

"I'll prepare dinner this time. Get ready to break the news to the girls."

Carla nods and chuckles.

"What is that Karlheinz planning now?"

Everyone went back to their rooms and started packing. Karlheinz had only told them that they would only need to bring all their clothes and portable electronics. It included laptops, MP3s, iPods, or smartphones. Everything else would be shipped and as the days would go by.

Ayato was mumbling to himself while packing up his stuff on his suit case. Yui giggled as Ayato looked at his fiancé. She was folding her clothes in an organized matter as she put them away in her suit case.

"Can you believe that we'll be living with the Tsukinami's until the mansion is ready? I don't get what the white-haired asshole is thinking."

Yui laughed at her boyfriend's words.

"But he is your father. He makes the decisions after all." Yui folds her pink shirt, putting it inside her suit case.

Ayato rolls his eyes.

"Pfft. Makes the decisions for yours truly? Nope."

Yui tilts her head sideways, looking at Ayato confused.

"What do you mean?"

"It wasn't his decision to make me fall in love with you. It wasn't his decision to ask you to marry me. It wasn't his decision to love me."

Ayato grabs Yui, pulling her close to him as he smells her. He whispers in her ear.

"It wasn't his decision for yours truly to claim you right here. Right now. By the way, your blood smells very delicious. Shall I taste how delicious it is?"

Yui blushes.

"U-um, w-we need to finish packing!"

Ayato chuckles, loosening his grip on Yui as she turns around and keeps packing her clothes.

At the other side of the mansion, Shu finishes packing his stuff as Yuma walks by.

Shu yawns and stretches his arms.

"So troublesome."

Yuma leans against Shu's door, watching the blonde-haired man close his suit case.

"You've been repeating that line ever since he left."

Shu looks up at Yuma and rolls his eyes.

"It is. Moving us to another country. Has to be part of one of his schemes."

Yuma nods, agreeing with Shu.

"I think everyone thinks the same thing, but we shall see."

"NO! TEDDY WILL BE WITH ME! HOW DARE YOU SAY THOSE THINGS! RIGHT TEDDY?!"

Yuma and Shu stop talking. Shu thinks that must be Reiji arguing with Kanato over the bear. He groans as he walks out of his room and past Yuma. Shu makes it to Kanato's room, where his suspicions were right.

Reiji had his arms crossed, looking very displeased. Kanato was on the floor cursing his older brother. Shu groans and closes his eyes. His blue eyes dart to a freaked out Kanato, hugging his teddy bear.

"Your bear is not clothes. He is to be put in a brown box. That is final Kanato."

"YOU WILL NOT TAKE TEDDY AWAY! HE IS TO BE WITH ME ALL TIMES! ISN'T THAT RIGHT TEDDY?! HE'S A MONSTER! YOU MONSTER WANT TO PUT HIM AWAY AT A COLD HARD BROWN BOX!"

Shu sighs.

"ENOUGH!"

Both Reiji and Kanato turned to look at an annoyed Shu.

"Kanato will take his bear."

Reiji pinches his nose.

"Why must you counter my orders?"

"Why must you want to act like the head of the house?"

Reiji sighs, walking out of Kanato's room. Shu knew this would be a long night.

Katya and Karina are sitting down with Carla and Shin for dinner. Spaghetti was both the girls' favorite dish to eat, which raised eye brows to their respective fathers.

"Spaghetti tonight?"

Shin nods, smiling at his niece, Katya. Karina starts eating her spaghetti, not caring the suspicion she had in her mind. Usually, her uncle Carla would cook, since her father would be in phone meetings. Yet, tonight was different. Her dad was cooking and her uncle Carla was in the office.

Katya looked at her cousin eating the spaghetti, wondering if she had the same suspicions as herself as well.

Shin and Carla also begin to eat, as Katya breaks the silence.

"So, today was stressful."

Carla chuckles.

"Why's that Kat?"

"Well, school is kicking my ass and like all these assignments are cramping my schedule! Who knew college would be this bad?"

Karina giggles at her cousin's comment about college, but stops with Katya's glare. Shin laugh at the little show both girls were presenting at the table.

"Now, who said acquiring a degree would be easy Katya?"

Katya whines and lays her head down as Karina rolls her eyes.

"Such a drama queen."

Katya's head shoots up rapidly, glaring at her younger cousin.

Carla rolls his eyes, and clears his throat.

"Before you both start wanting to kill each other, I have an announcement to make."

Katya and Karina instantly look at Carla and Shin.

"Buying me a car uncle?"

Katya nudges Karina and rolls her eyes.

"It's not always about you, you know. I'm right here too."

"Pfft. You got your Barbie car. I want a truck." Karina smiles innocently at her uncle. Carla sighs. How can he break this news to his niece and daughter?

"It's something that involves change."

Both girls look at Carla confused.

"Uh, new girlfriend? New mom for one of us?"

Katya looked at Karina surprised with her answer. Karina just shrugged it off, not thinking how weird that sounds. Even though their fathers looked less than 20, but both women know that's the life of a vampire, to which Katya seemed pleased, since she was born as a pureblood and first blood.

Katya and Karina's thoughts were interrupted with Carla's laugh.

Shin sighs. Of course, Carla needs help.

"Do you girls remember of the stories I've told you about our time in Japan?"

Katya and Karina nod.

Carla takes a deep breath. Here goes nothing.

"In the upcoming days, we'll be having guests coming over."

Karina nods and asks,

"So… what does that have to do with us? You know we treat our guests well."

Katya nods.

"I promise not to argue with Karina and be on our best behaviors. Act like angels if you would like to call it."

Karina nods, agreeing with her cousin.

Carla chuckles at their little talk. If they knew.

"Well, I do hope you both young ladies are on your best behaviors. But, they have a connection with what your uncle Shin said about our past in Japan."

Shin looks at the girls, wondering how they will take the news that a family of vampires they once were enemies with will be living with them for a few days then move in next door, becoming their neighbors. That damn Karlheinz had to ruin their peace.

Carla clears his throat.

"Do you girls remember the names Sakamaki and Mukami used in our stories?"

Both girls nod, looking at their fathers.

"Just spit it out dad. What's going on? Karina and I suspected something was going on."

Karina nods, adding to Katya's comment,

"Yeah. It's not every day for my dad to be cooking our favorite food for dinner. Guests are coming. Katya has promised that we both would be on our best behavior. So, what seems to be the problem that has you both tongue tied?"

Shin looks at his older brother annoyed. Carla rolls his eyes at his younger brother's annoyed face, but proceeds to talk to his niece and daughter.

"The Sakamaki and Mukami families will be moving to the United States. They will be living with us for a few days, then they'll be moving to the empty mansion next to us. They will be our new neighbors."

Katya nods. She knows who they are. The noble family in the vampire world. The heirs to the throne if she could call it. The family of Karlheinz. Her father had to teach her some 101 classes on the vampire world, since she's a vampire that possesses powers similar of her uncle and father. She has her blood pills with her in order to not to be tempted to drink blood from humans, especially from her cousin. She clicked everything as to why her uncle and father we nervous to say the news.

"No wonder that house has been under construction for months! Many of my friends asked what was going on. Now I know!" Karina commented as she played with her spaghetti.

Carla, Shin, and Katya looked at how calm Karina was. Carla gives a look to Shin, who looks at his daughter.

"Karina, they're not an ordinary family. Do you remember the time I told you we were vampires and how we kidnapped a sacrificial bride of theirs?"

Karina looks at her father, nodding.

"Yeah, I remember everything you told me about vampires. How you all have to drink blood pills so you wouldn't be tempted to drink human blood."

"Well, they're vampires. They're Karlheinz's family."

Karina blinks, looking surprised.

"Do they… know?"

Carla knew the questions well.

"Their father knows of your existence. As for his sons, I don't know. Whatever happens Karina, they are prohibited of drinking your blood. If they even dare trying, just know your father and myself would go after them."

Karina looks down and sighs.

"I think I just lost my appetite."

Katya rolls her eyes at her cousin's reaction to the news. She was secretly excited. She could finally seduce one of them and become someone important within the family! With her good looks, she knew she had them all bow down to her long before.

Shin smiles to his daughter, reassuring her that everything will be fine.

"There is one more thing. Subaru Sakamaki and Kou Mukami will be attending your school Karina. You will most likely ride with them, if not, Katya can keep taking you to school."

Katya looks at her father annoyed.

"How unfair! She gets to ride in a limo?! I can't remember the last time I rode one!"

Karina rolls her eyes.

"Spoiled brat."

"What did you just call me?"

Carla and Shin give their daughters pointed looks. Both stop the bickering and arguing.

"As for Katya, you will also ride a limo to their classes. Shu Sakamaki, Reiji Sakamaki, Ayato Sakamaki, Laito Sakamaki, Kanato Sakamaki, Ruki Mukami, Yuma Mukami, Azusa Mukami, Kino Sakamaki, and Yui Komori will be attending either night classes at your college or online classes. Orientate them please."

Katya nods at her father's instructions and looks at her cousin. She sighs, knowing this might scare Karina a little bit. The only vampires she's only been with has been with her family. Both have been tasked with the same job.

Orient the families.

Karina asks,

"So, when will they arrive here?"

Shin proceeds to answer.

"Friday night. If you could both cancel plans and be here, that would be great and easy for us. So, we wouldn't have to introduce the family twice."

Karina nods as she eats her spaghetti in silence. The same thing happens with Katya. Karina excuses herself from the table and leaves for her room.

Shin sighs as Katya finishes eating.

"Afraid they would want to suck Karina to death? I mean, we could send her far, far, far away from here. We still have time."

Carla gives Katya a look of 'shut up or else,' making Katya look the opposite direction.

"Shin, everything will be fine. We made peace with them the day Yui chose them. We have our own family."

"Carla, I know we do now, but what if they want Karina as theirs?"

Katya rolls her eyes. She hates how they talk about Karina like she's the last Coca Cola in the deserts of the Sahara.

"Brother, that will not happen in any circumstance. We are also noble people in our own world. Karlheinz will not take my niece away."

Katya had enough.

"So, what happens if they decide to take me instead. I'm a vampire. Just like you, dad."

Carla grabs his daughter's hand.

"We wouldn't have a problem because you know how to defend yourself. As for Karina, she's human. They drink human blood."

Shin adds to Carla's explanation,

"You're a vampire. A first blood. A pureblood. It would be the ideal situation, but we'll just have to wait and see. All I ask is for you to protect your cousin when it needs to be."

Katya nods, not wanting to hear the argument any further. She excuses herself and leaves the dining room. Carla and Shin look at each other.

"It's been a stressful day. I'm turning in early."

"Same here. Goodnight Shin."

"Same to you Carla."

Both leave the dining room and walk upstairs to their bedrooms.

At Katya's bedroom. She sits up, looking at herself in the mirror.

"Why is it always 'Karina this, Karina that.' Ugh. The day she came into our lives was the worst."

She admires herself in the mirror. Her blue eyes matched her platinum blonde hair, which she dyed a few days back. She looked at the curves she had. The 'perfect body' many females would tell her. Katya smiled just remembering those comments. At least Karina would never be as pretty or irresistible as her. She lays down and smiles, thinking about the new vampire family.

I wanted to write a softer side of Shin and Carla in order to show that they can be prone to change when it comes to their children and family. I want to show a softer side and how the years have changed them when becoming parents, but I promise it won't lose the sadistic taste the anime and the game had with the characters. It's the main reason why I placed it years after, which would be nice to know! And yes, Katya is Carla's actual daughter. As for Karina, she's just adopted to Shin Tsukinami. Her life story will come up in the upcoming chapters as the same for Katya and the others.

Hope you guys like it! Any comments or helpful advice as to where I can lead the story to would be helpful!
