'What am I expecting by doing this...by keeping her bond to me..'Subaru sat against the cold tile floor of the bathroom and ripped open the bath of bath salts. He carelessly poured some into the bath behind him and waited for the smell of lavender to fill the air.

He checked behind him to see Yui still in the tub sleeping. Her upper body propped up against a bath towel he had placed under her head.

She smelt like Kou and he wasn't able to handle it any longer. The bath would at least made her scent return to normal however he found himself slightly concerned. When he stripped her, he expected her to wake up and fight him, the fake she didn't made him feel like a pervert.

'It's her fault for smelling like them... I only did what I had to do'Subaru mentally defended himself although he felt a bit awkward now sitting here with her sleeping.

Then he heard it

The sudden splashing of water

"What..where am I...Ah!"Yui let out a shriek as she realized she was sitting in a tub of water. Her arms wrapped around her chest as she felt panicked. She couldn't remember how she got here and knew for a fact this wasn't her bathroom. Her eyes scanned the room until she noticed Subaru leaning back, his red eyes looking at her annoyed.

"Stop screaming, it'll echo in here"Subaru commented as he watched her scoot away towards the far end of the tub. That frightened look, he adored it. It made the sadistic part of him tingle.

Yui grabbed the towel that she had previously been resting on and wrapped it around her body. She sank as deep into the water as she could in an attempt to hide herself form him.

"Why am I in here? Where's my clothes?!"Yui blurted out as she curled her legs closer to her body. She felt so exposed now, how long had she just been lying in this tub naked?!

A sly smirk crossed Subarus lips as he pointed to the pile of ripped fabric that laid near the door. Yui sighed and recognized that it was the same color as he nightgown.

"You smelt like that disgusting idiot, I couldn't tolerate it anymore"Subaru stood up and to her shock stepped into the tub. The tub wasn't exactly small but it wasn't big enough for two people. Yui let out a shriek and started to get up but was quickly stopped by Subarus hand on her arm. He let out a growl and Yui knew that he wanted her to sit back down. Knowing it was better to listen then argue in this situation she sat down and waited for him to sink into the water with her. His uniform was soaked but he acted as if it was the most natural thing in the world. It reminded her vaguely of how she had seen Shu once, did all vampires do such strange things.

They sat in silence for a moment as she felt his heated gaze on her

"Su-subaru, if you want to bath I can get out"Yui commented as she pressed herself up against the side of the tub. He said nothing to her but his gaze didn't soften either.

'Did I make him angry somehow?'Yui thought as she slightly worried for her safety now.

"Come here"He clearly wasn't asking but was ordering and Yui slowly made her way towards him. She moved towards until her was within arms reach of him and then shifted her body around.

His gaze hadn't softened and a small annoyed growl seemed to be coming from him now. The way it echoed slowly in the bathroom made Yui shiver a bit with fear. She moved a bit closer until she sat between his legs and he stopped growling at her.

Yui kept her eyes fixed on the small soap bar that rested on the side of the tub, she couldn't face him like this. The heat from the bath and the shame she was feeling right now only fueled the redness that now spread on her cheeks.

"Turn around"Subarus voice had soften to his flat tone and Yui felt slightly relieved. She had assumed he was going to feed on her and then leave, the best option for her right now.

Her body shifted around until her back faced him.

The feeling of his hand touching her shoulder caused her to jump a bit, he was so cold.

'Just keep still and then he'll leave'Yui thought to herself as she felt his hand moving away and was expecting it to be replaced by his fangs but was surprised. She felt the smooth lather of soap touching her back and the press of his hands against her skin.

'What is he doing?'Yui turned her head a bit to see that Subaru was indeed rubbing the soap against her shoulder.

'What the hell am I doing'Subaru wasn't exactly sure himself at this point. He was more or less just doing whatever came to mind right now, all he knew was that he couldn't leave her alone in here.

His hands slide the soap along her back until he came into contact with the towel she had wrapped around herself

"Open it"She could feel his fingers tugging against the back of the toweling but Yui shook her head

"No! Please I can wash myself!"

"I've already seen everything!"

"I-I..."Yui didn't know what to say to that but felt like crying. She felt him tug against the back of her towel agains and then could slowly feel the towel ripping from behind her. The cold feeling of his hands against her lower back made her nervous.

Subaru should heard her heart beat pounding. The slight shiver of her body let him know she was terrified now.

"Hurry up and wash up"The sound of soap dropping into the water caught Yuis attention as she felt Subaru removing himself from the bath.

He didn't look back at her as he headed towards the door but stopped before leaving

"I'll be waiting out here so hurry up before I change my mind"The sound of the door slamming left Yui feeling like God had shed his graces upon her.

Yui wasn't sure if that was an empty threat but didn't want to risk it. She quickly scrubbed her body and wrapped herself in the only towel that was still left.

"I can't even resew this.."Yui whispered as she tossed her ruined night gown into the trash can and slowly opened the door.

The light from the sun was shinning slightly through the closed curtains and Yui knew it was morning.

How long had she been asleep

Her eyes scanned the room to find Subaru sitting on his coffin in new clothes and holding something in his hand.

Subaru tossed it towards her and Yui reached out to catch it quickly. The smooth feeling of a shirt touched her hand and Yui stared down at it confused.

"Put it on then get back in"Subaru turned around and Yui assumed he was giving her some privacy. She held the shirt up and recognized it to be one of his school dress shirts, apparently he did own some that weren't torn.

Yui didn't want to think twice about putting it on since he already seemed to be in a bad mood. Her arms quickly slipped through the sleeves and she buttoned it up until the collar closed.

It was huge on her, it was practically a dress for her

The sound of the coffin sliding open caught Yuis attention as she bite her lip nervously

"Um..Subaru.. couldn't I just sleep in my own bed?"Yui asked as she cautious stepped towards the door. She was scared to get back in there, it was dark and she didn't know when the air would run out. While he didn't need air, she really needed it!

Subaru looked at her questioningly before a smile curled onto his lips

"Are you inviting me into your bed instead? You've got some nerve trying to seduce me like that"Subaru slide the lid to the coffin closed and began to approach her. Yui hadn't meant it like that at all but when she tried to refuse he simply ignored her

"Lead the way if you're so eager"

-In Yui's Room-

Yui stood at her dresser and searched through for something else to wear along with some underwear. She could feel Subarus eyes staring at her from the place he had dropped on her bed.

"Keep that shirt on"Subaru commented as he saw her pulling out one of the nightgowns he found to hideous. She always wore those long nightgown that were double layered almost everywhere.

Yui opened her mouth to argue but was worried he would make her go back into the coffin and stuffed the nightgown away. She was happy just to be in her own room again.

"Where are you going?"Subaru asked as Yui made her way to the bathroom. She held her underwear in her hand tightly and shifted her feet

"I was just going to put some extra things on"Yui could feel the blush on her cheeks as she hide her underwear behind her back. Even if he had undressed her earlier, she didn't want to be anymore exposed to him then she already was.

Subaru slide off her bed and walked towards her, something back the way he was walking.. it made her nervous. She could feel her heart beating rapidly in her chest.

His hand smacked the door behind her and Yui flinched

Even with her eyes closed she knew how close he was now, she could almost feel his hair touching her face.

"Put them on here"It was that tone again. Smooth..low..and laced with dirty thoughts that made her blush spread to cover her entire face. Her heart beat was racing and pounding in her head but she couldn't answer

The sudden feeling of his hand beneath her chin caused Yuis eyes to open.

Blood red. The deepest crimson. His eyes looked into hers and Yui felt like her breathing stopped

"Do it"Subaru ordered and Yui looked away from him towards her feet. He was standing so close that she could barely move.

Her fingers played with the white cotton panties she held behind her back and slowly she brought it in front of her

Yui tried to bend down and moved her legs to slip her legs through the leg holes. Her head touched Subarus chest as she bent and she slowly tried to pull them back up while avoiding eye contact.

"I'll do the rest"His hands came to rest on her thighs and Yuis hands were shaking. She was noticeably shaking now as she stood up but kept her eyes towards the floor. She could feel his fingers hook into the sides of her panties as she pressed her knees together.

A small chuckle could be heard as she could feel him pulling them to rest on her waist. When he finally released his hold and removed his hands from her, Yui let out a sigh of relief.

"Were you thinking I was going to do something else? Perverted women"Subaru whispered against her ear before pulling away and going back towards her bed

"I wasn't! I-I'm not like that'Yui defended as she followed him and took a seat on the opposite side of the bed from him. The soft comforter felt nice beneath her as Yui lifted the covers. She figured it was best to try and fall asleep fast before he does anything else to her.

The warmth of the blanket was suddenly changed by the coldness of Subarus arms snaking their way around her waist

"Mine..."She heard the soft whisper of his voice as he settled in behind her. The sun outside was still bright and shined through a crack in her window. She knew they would be able to sleep for at least the next few hours but wasn't sure if she could be able to sleep now.

Yui was still a bit hungry from missing dinner and all this teasing from Subaru was making her weak

'But he's kind of sweet...like this'Yui thought as she noticed how he hadn't moved his hands at all yet. They rested on her waist protectively and her eyes closed.

She had been through a great deal lately. The Mukami brothers had giving her a whirl and upon returning home Subaru seemed to have a new found protectiveness with her. Yui was glad her anemia was gone and couldn't help but feel a bit happy that only Subaru would be drinking her blood. That would hopefully help with her anemia and he wasn't generally a greedy drinker. On a few occasions she can even recall him biting her gently.

'Perhaps this won't be so bad'
