Author's note: It seems Christmas has come and gone, and we got new goodies under the tree! ^.^

Speaking of the holidays, the following story that I have published here is my first Diabolik Lovers fanfiction.

Yeah, I know what you're thinking - A fanfic for a game about possessive vampires that likes to treat their prey like garbage, especially Yui (who is seriously needing some personality development if you ask me), hence the nickname 'Diabolk Wifebeaters'; how do you pull it off?

Well, I'm not really a fan of adding abuse in my fanfiction, but in this fanfic, I'm gonna try and make the Sakamaki boys and the Mukami boys as human as I can, without having them resorting to beating the crap out of the opposite sex.

The story also happens to take place after Ayato's best ending in Haunted Dark Bridal, although the Mukami brothers also appear in the story.

With that said, enjoy! (If you dare!)

Also, I don't own Diabolik Wifebeater-I mean Lovers! -_-; But I do own the Winchester sisters.

UPDATE: Fixed up the text a little.

The Four Maidens

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There was a well-known, well-bred family in London, England, who took pride as being very prestigious. Duke Alfred Winchester, and Duchess Marie Winchester were in good graces with the royal family, and the Duchess also happened to be a lady in waiting for the Queen.

The Duke was a very noble and proud man, who excelled in horseriding, swordfighting, and chess. He was also a very good strategist, and was considered to be wise and smart.

Together, they had four daughters: Rose, Annabella, Catherine and Notia. Each of the four daughters were unique in their personalities, as well as their flaws.

First was Rose, described as being calm and collected, and was kind-hearted and friendly, but also very much of a prude, as well as being high-maintenance. She had long brown locks that she inherited from her father, and ended at her waist, and which she always kept in a ponytail, secured with a blue ribbon, and possessed eyes of the same color as her hair.

Next was Annabella, was very haughty and arrogant, but often becomes flustered around the opposite sex, and was prone to blowing a fuse whenever she was provoked (although she was very poor at cooking and cleaning). Her long, dark brown hair was always kept in a neat bun, and was decorated with a yellow rose, and her eyes were a rich grey color, the same color as her father's eyes.

Catherine was the third daughter, and was meek, docile, and very clumsy, and often stuttered in her words. Her shoulder-length blue hair, which she possessed from her mother was kept in a ponytail that always rested on her right shoulder, and had a red headband on top, and her eyes were bright and yellow.

Finally, there was Notia, a bright, cheerful young girl who was very childish, and had frequent mood swings, as well as being very cowardly. Her long, blond hair was always kept in an elegant braid, secured with a pretty green ribbon, and had bright, baby blue eyes that her mother also had.

The four sisters often indulged in telling each other ghost stories, and had always taken a fancy to reading books on legendary creatures. Whether it was the werewolves, the mummies, the vampires, or even the ghosts, their hobby was considered their guiltiest pleasure.

Of course, they also had special interests of their own: Rose enjoyed sewing and making beautiful dresses, Annabella often practiced archery, Catherine loved to cook and clean for her family, and Notia loved to sing, specifically J-Pop music.

So much so that one day, during the summer, Notia was able to convince her sisters to travel to Japan with her, to see if they can appreciate her Japanophile-like lifestyle. At first, things went well for the four sisters, until one night...

They were greeted by a young girl named Yui, who explained that she was not only a vampire (much to their surprise), but that she was also wed to Ayato Sakamaki (a circle-like bite mark encircled her ring finger). To the four sisters, Yui seemed carefree and cheery, much like Notia, but somehow, she had a mischievous streak in her due to her time spent with the Sakamaki brothers.

"I knew you would come." she simply said.

The female vampire was able to persuade the four sisters to join her at the spacious residence belonging to her husband, who had just become leader of the vampires, and although they were reluctant at first, Notia eagerly accepted, and the quintet of girls arrived at their destination.

The four sisters were surprised when each of the Sakamaki brothers introduced themselves, as well as the visiting rival vampire Mukami brothers, and as the sisters introduced themselves as well, Yui explained to them that since Ayato was the only one of all the boys (Sakamaki or Mukami) that has wed, it seemed that the others were in need of more women for future brides.

For Rose, Shuu Sakamaki, Reiji Sakamaki, and Subaru Sakamaki, took interest in her, and chose to compete for her. The normally stoic eldest girl seemed hesitant due to the fact that she must spend time with any of the three brothers, but ended up complying. Kanato Sakamaki and Laito Sakamaki chose the headstrong Annabella, and it seemed that since she was the most stubborn of the four sisters, it was going to take a few days to make her willing to become a vampire bride.

Ruki Mukami and Yuma Mukami picked Catherine, and this prompted the shy blue-haired girl to tap her index fingers together, as she simply fidgeted with worry. Finally, Kou Mukami and Azusa Mukami brought their attention to Notia, who was very naive and easy to break in as a bride.

With their fates sealed as future vampires and future virgin brides, the four Winchester sisters's new life in the Sakamaki mansion began the next night. The young men had taken delight in flirting with the girls, and often made advances on them as the next few nights passed.

Rose's stoicness seemed to falter during each meeting with Shuu, Reiji and Subaru; she remembered a boy she liked that she promised to marry when they got older, but now the possibility was left in the dust. Annabella was uncomfortable with both Kanato and Laito spending time with her (individually, of course) each night; her once aloof attitude began to diminish however, and she began to show a surprising good amount of respect and obedience to them.

Catherine was incredibly submissive, and often apologized to either Ruki and Yuma whenever she tripped and fell; at the same time, she vowed to devote herself to either one of them. And Notia was able to learn of Yui's reasons why she met the Sakamaki and Mukami siblings: when her father, a priest, went abroad, she was forced to live in a mansion with the Sakamaki brothers. They knew she had Cordelia's heart within her, and eventually, she chose Ayato out of all the Sakamakis, as her husband.

After she was broken in, her personality changed rather oddly: she was once naive and kind, but began to develop a very docile streak, especially when she was around Ayato. But she was also very playful, often wanting to tease the four sisters as much as the Sakamakis and Mukamis.

It was there, on the fifth night, that the four sisters would soon make their decision...

With that said, the story will continue with the next chapter focusing on each of the four sisters's interactions with their supposed suitors, which ends with the four sisters, making a choice on who to wed, and the next few chapters (two for Annabella, Catherine and Notia, and three for Rose) will focus on each of the four sisters with the suitor of their choice, and that's when the rating will change.

I hope a did a decent job with this series...if you point out any errors or inconsistencies, I'll correct them as soon as I can.

With love for my fans,
