CHAPTER – I 願い(WISHES)

I wondered what it was until my eyes went bulging looking at the magnificent limo stop in front of the gate and came out a man with slightly long tresses the same color as Subaru-kun's. His eyes were a bit narrow and wore white and maroon ornate formal clothing.

It was none other Sakamaki Tougou, or to us, known as Karlheinz.

I barely managed to stifle a gasp. It was good that I wore the scarf after all since it did not let my gasp escape much. Reiji-san walked forward and bowed in unison with Shu-san. The others did the same thing as Sakamaki-san stood there lightly smiling. The other brothers did the same, though even more reluctantly. Upon noticing me, Sakamaki-san's smile widened and he came forward and pet my head calmly. The others were surely shocked to see that. Then slowly repulsed.

"Yui-chan, ka? Haha! You look healthier than any previous bride." Sakamaki-san said.

I felt like whimpering but held it in. The feeling of his hand's touch on my head did nothing better to drive away this cold. Instead, fear arose inside me. I could also feel curiosity. He backed away and then lavishly walked into the mansion at a small distance. Ayato-kun did not speak but his expression was that of disgust.

"Shu, why did…..he come?" Kanato-kun asked trying to keep his temper in control, hugging teddy very tight. Teddy could suffocate to death and I would have to pay the price. My blood. However, for 'him' to be here, something must be terribly wrong or important. I anticipated Shu-san's answer like Subaru-kun did.

"Ah…..He called 10 minutes ago saying 'it was wonderful'…and such weird stuff. Then he said he'll come here now. Gah!" I swore within my heart since Shu-san never was apparently so irritated.

I looked over to reiji-san. He seemed to be in thought. Slowly, he motioned us all into the freezing mansion and locked the doors after us keeping us under his glaring eyes.

I can't explain how horrible that felt. The fire in the fireplace had extinguished long ago. As we reached the man sitting pleasantly on the sofa, he stood up and re-lit the fire.

"So much for you people…At least you should not depend on me to do this as well!" Sakamaki-san mocked.

Laito-kun hid in the shadows as he almost always would. I wish I could do that too.

"What do you want?!" Subaru-kun spoke in a rough tone. I did not like it in the least, but the situation was one that I was, to say, stuck in.

"Today, I especially came here to invite you, my children." Sakamaki-san said in a light tone.

"What?" Ayato-kun said out of instinct.

"Manners Ayato. Tch,Tch. Shu has always been too lazy to take care, but Reiji, as second eldest, you should have kept Ayato in check." He said in a stricter voice. This person changes tones too soon, but still seemed happy. Is it the effect of being left with only 1 wife in a tower out of 3?

I have no way to find out.

"Anyway, I'll be meeting you all again at the royal vampire ball on, say, Monday? Prepare yourselves well and don't mind skipping school. Before I end this very short visit right here, I would like to speak to Yui-chan. Alone." He said again. Exactly how much can he speak if his facial muscles are busy smiling?

But alone with him. A chill went down my spine. Was it safe?

Laito-kun tilted his fedora and left first muttering something under his breath. Shu-san and Reiji-san left next, Reiji-san scoffing.

All the boys left. A feeling of utter uneasiness developed inside me but was soothed as soon as he spoke up.

"Dear child, make a wish. I'll make it come true at the end of the ball. Wish for anything child." Then he serenely smiled.

Wish….did I have any left in this worn out heart of mine?

"Well, maybe….." I muttered.

"I-I wish f-for…..
