The night school of Ryoutei Academy was hard for Yui to completely wrap her mind around. Though the halls were haunted by vampires...she just didn't comprehend the other people studying here who decided on night classes. Even if the academy was well known for its school programs and college opportunities.

Yui started school late. It made her frustrated to realize she was a bit old for a second year. Though at least it kept her away from some of the brothers while at school. She shared homeroom with Ayato, Laito and Kanato. Subaru was in the year below them...which left Shu and Reiji as third years. Sitting in the classroom silently, Yui slowly moved her eyes around the room. Observing the brothers closest to her. Kanato seemed to be distracted talking to Teddy, Laito seemed to be toying with the girl next to him judging by her stifled giggles. Ayato didn't even seem to be awake.

Her teeth pressed into her lower lip as her gaze lifted to the clock ticking above the door to the room. Her brows furrowing as she realized dinner was soon. She had a bento box prepared, and she hoped she'd be able to sneak away to the roof before any of the brothers noticed.

The bell going off to denote the time had Yui quickly placing things away in her bag and departing before Laito managed to detach himself from the girl clinging to his arm. Breathing out a sigh of relief Yui quickly walked through the rows of people to make her way towards the roof.

She climbed up the stairs slowly, the bites lining her thigh throbbing and she tried not to wince at the bruising sensation. However as she reached the top of the stairs, she found the door locked.

Oh no…

Thinking rapidly to herself she turned back to make her way quickly down the stairs again; feeling the tell tale signs of one of her bites reopening as a wetness dripped down her leg from her quick movements. She made her way to the bathroom. Deciding to clean up the blood and eat her bento in one of the stalls.

Her hands shook as she sat on the toilet. After wiping the crimson liquid away she sighed. Closing her eyes and trying not to make too much noise. However she heard some sort of commotion going on outside as she was finishing up her food.

Tucking the bento box away she timidly poked her head outside of the bathroom. Noting that a few students were murmuring to themselves and keeping their gaze locked further down the hallway.

"Oi Breastless!" The rude voice of Ayato made her jump, turning rapidly to face him, though his hand caught her wrist, dragging her towards him. "A-ayato-Kun…" She frowned realizing Laito and Kanato stood next to him.

"What's going on?" She whispered softly to them.

"Why don't you just wait and see Bitch-chan?" Laito asked with a smirk from over Ayato's shoulder, though his brother shoved him away. "Back off, I'm thirsty." He glares down at Yui and she tried to avoid trembling in his arms. "...N-now isn't a good time." She insisted.

"Did you hear about them? The whole lot of them seem to be all anyone is talking about-we haven't had this many new students in awhile." Yui tuned in to the whispers of nearby classmates. Ayato calling for her attention and growing further frustrated by her continued lack of attention.

"Ne Teddy? Isn't this smell odd?" Kanato whispered down at his bear. Ayato finally seeming to realize something was going on as Laito leaned up against a set of lockers.

The front door of the school was open, crowds of students surrounding the area and leaning around corners to catch glimpses of whoever...or whatever had decided to join the students halfway through the day.

"Back to your classrooms! This isn't a circus-dinner is over and your curiosity will be sated soon enough." One of the teachers began shooing everyone back into their rooms and Ayato tsked under his breath before dragging Yui by the wrist back into the classroom.

"You're hurting me-" She said loudly only to stumble as he jerked her forward and tossed her towards her desk like a sack of flour.

"Shut up, pancake. You owe me later." He dropped into his seat next to her with an annoyed expression. Laito chuckled from behind her and she turned her head rapidly to peer at him-watching him tip his fedora towards her and grin. "Everything okay, Bitch-chan? Ayato-kun doesn't know how to treat a lady."

Ignoring his 'offer of help' as he extended his hand towards her. She stood on her own and seated herself at her desk properly, smoothing out the lines of her skirt. 'I'm fine...thank you, Laito-kun."

The other students returned from dinner and Yui began pulling her books from her bags again, avoiding the gaze of everyone as Laito moved past her to his seat, his fingers grazing her arm as he leaned down to whisper in her ear. " I can smell your blood, poor little bitch must have walked too much, nfu." She cringed away from him. The teacher was preparing to start class when the door opened again and two other students wandered into the room.

Though Yui didn't recognize the girls. She thought back to the comments made outside and figured these two must be part of the group of transfer students mentioned.

The first girl seemed to be energetic, her movements graceful but filled with energy and her smile vibrant. She had curly blonde hair with a slight redish tint to it it hung loosely around her face. Her green eyes flicked rapidly from student to student and she walked up to the teacher to hand her a small sheet, lips curved into a blindingly warm smile. Yui liked her already.

The other girl was shorter, her dark chestnut coloured hair was mostly covered by a ballcap coloured black and red, the ponytail pulled through the back. Her hands shoved into the pockets of her uniform jacket and she kept her brown eyes on the teacher. Silent and hard to read by comparison to the warm girl ahead of her.

"...Ah...I see well then class, meet the Gallagher sisters….Akira and Lyra." The instructor motioned to two accordingly. The resemblance wasn't really seen between the two, though the harder Yui looked the more the two seemed to resemble each other.

"Part of the exchange program from...:" Her brows furrowed. " The Northern Scotland academy-I do hope you're both settling in nicely. Take the two seats just behind, Miss Komori." The teacher motioned them towards the blonde and she gave a timid wave to indicate herself.

"Apologies in advance if our japanese is a little rough." Akira offers with a charming grin to the professor. Weaving her way between the desks effortlessly and dropping into the seat to the left of the seat directly behind Yui. Her sister followed along with a small nod and slid in right behind Yui, after a moment's hesitation Yui turned to introduce herself. Figuring this was a small chance to interact with someone outside of the brothers and other...vampires…

She turned to face Lyra as she pulled her notebook out. "Uhm...Lyra-san?" The girls eyes lifted with her hat slightly. Brows lifting. "Can I help you?" She asked bluntly.

"I'm, Komori Yui-You can just call me Yui-san if you'd like. I was just wondering if you and your sister had your books in order already-and if not if you'd like to share with me? I can help you with the readings after class today as well. "

"A wonderful idea miss Komori, girls I'd highly suggest you take it. If you need any help with japanese, I'm sure Komori-san would be all too willing to lend a hand."

Akira snickers but pulls her desk over to her sisters and crooks a finger at Yui. " Come on back and join the party then, Yui-san." Her jade coloured eyes seemed to pierce Yui's own pink ones and for a moment she felt herself growing unbearably hot. Only for her to shake herself out of it and moving the desks to join the girls.

The rest of the class was mostly silent. The three taking notes diligently and Yui doing her hardest to ignore the growing concern in her chest as she thought of the three brothers behind her.

"Yui?" The blunt tone of voice come from Lyra met her ears and she found herself staring at the girl in surprise. Akira lightly knocked the bill of her ball cap down slightly, reminding her in a light tone to use honorifics…which Lyra then completely ignored.

"Sorry...but could you explain that sentence to me? I'm missing a word." She motions to the book and once Yui reads it through she explains. " Ah-it's a term of endearment but its outdated, so he's referring to her as his partner."

Lyra simply nods and scribbles away at her notes. "So what's up with your neck?"

Yui had gone back to focussing on the teacher, the question catching her off guard. " Eh?" She reached up towards her necktie in confusion, "did the bow come loose?"

"Not but it looks like some nasty bug took a chunk out of you. " Lyra said again with a frown, motioning with her pen to the spot on Yui's neck currently under scrutiny. Akira leaned forward to squint towards it to.

"Ouch-what have you been wrestling with a tiger?" She teased, her eyes crinkling at the corners. " Looks like you nearly tore your throat open, Yui-san."

Yui felt the blood drain from her face, Laito giggling just behind her and the two girls in front of her seemingly unaware of the current circumstances. "Oh uh...aha….I am allergic to spiders and found a nest of them near my pillow…"

Akira wrinkles her nose. " That sucks. Might wanna make sure they weren't venomous." Her green eyes seemed to have brightened, lips twitching as if she was making a joke although Yui wasn't exactly sure what she was hinting at.

She laughed to show her agreement and turned back to her notes, looking up to meet the full toothed grin Ayato shot her way.

The bell ringing to signal the end of the day seemed to take forever to arrive. The cleanup was underway and Yui continued speaking with the two girls about their japanese and what they'd covered in the semester already.

"Oi Pancake are you done yet?" Ayato rudely interrupted from behind her. Causing Yui to jump. She could have sworn he had already left.

"Ayato-kun, I'll be right there I'm just finishing up with these notes-"

"You're gonna leave the great me waiting?" Ayato raised his voice over hers. Stepping towards her and narrowing her eyes.

"What exactly is so great about you?" A voice called casually, and Ayato watched a hand pull Yui away from him. His gaze narrowed on the small slim frame of the girl Lyra who had joined the class that day.

"Everything, now give her back to me." He snapped. Watching the brown eyes flick across his features in a manner that unnerved him-a sudden tension seemed to grow in the air-like static.

"...Nah." Lyra said finally. Hands still shoved in her pockets. Akira laughing lightly behind her hand as Lyra antagonized the taller boy.

Ayato glared at her, stepping towards her small frame and towering over her. " Ya know, girls who wear their hair up are easier to grab...and considering there isn't much else to you I'm fairly sure that's the only handhold they could get."

He grinned down at her maliciously. "Oi, titless...looks like you finally look like a woman next to this kid."

"Ayato-kun!" She admonished, her cheeks flooding with color at the mortification. " I am so sorry Lyra-san, he doesn't mean i-" Yui paused in her words knowing they weren't true. "...What I mean to say is we shouldn't fight! Ayato-kun lets go to the limo with the others."

"You live with this asshole?" Lyra asked casually. Her brows lifting as she turned her head to peer at Yui again.

"...Eh to each their own. Though really him and the one in the hat kinda look too similar." Akira added from behind casually slapping a hand down on Lyra's shoulder and steering her away from Ayato.

"Oh-Yui-san?" She called as she pushed her sister towards the door despite her stubbornly digging her heels in. Yui blinked and met the sharp stare Akira had locked on her. " Yes?"

"...Make sure you treat that spider bite, okay?" Her smile was just as blinding as when she walked in. But her eyes-...Yui could only describe them as cold. She almost looked to be mocking her.

The door closed behind the two as they made their exit. Leaving Yui alone with a very angry Vampire...
