Chapter One:

It was seemingly eternally gloomy at the manor, that was one thing I knew for sure. Dark clouds surrounded the castle like building I was confined to. It hadn't rained in a few days, but the ever present storm clouds said otherwise. It was a chilly day out, only just noon, yet the sun was nowhere to be found. How anything grew around here ill never know. Subaru's roses bloomed beautifully in the maze like garden he often escaped to, and the lush courtyard was as perfect as always. It was truly ironic, the atmosphere was filled with a cold, dark dread yet the grounds flourished without a care for the beings around them.

The water fountain was where I currently sat, gazing over the white roses. They stood among the emerald leaves, untainted, pure. How does that feel, I wondered. Completely at peace in a calming state of nirvana, untouched from the world. The breeze was chilling, and the cold water lapping near me against the concrete fountain wasn't helping. I wrapped my sweater around me tightly, and stood to head inside. My first step shot a striking pain up my right leg, and I remembered why I had run outside in the first place.

…

"I'm so sorry Shu, I didn't mean to wake you, I didn't know you were here"

I stared shocked at the once sleeping form, lazily strewn across the plush velvet couch in the music room. His pale zaffre eyes glancing tiredly towards me. I had come into the music room to read a book I had found within the tall walls of the library. I would have stayed in there but Ayato had come in to bother me, as usual. I had sneaked out quietly as he continued to ramble on about how 'I should be thankful I'm in the presence of yours truly'. How he didn't catch me I'll never know, but the encounter and subsequent getaway had lead me straight to the music room, as quiet and secluded as ever. The books cover was a plain burgundy with no writing on the front whatsoever. I had found that after only five minutes at most of reading it I had already grown bored, and laid it down on the piano seat. I stared up at the glossy, sleek black piano and sat down to play.

I had never been talented at any musical instrument, but the sound of the piano I found was the most soothing. The first keys I played sounded alright, but after that they all sounded out of tune. Shuffling noises sounded from behind me, and that was when I turned to meet the annoyed gaze of Shu.

"You've awoken me, what a rude mortal you are"

When he gets woken from his naps, there's always two things that happens. First, he gets very irritated, second, he gets hungry.

"Really, I didn't know you were here Shu I'm so sorry, ill lea- Ohh!"

Shu's hand had shot out in a flash and grabbed my wrist, pulling me on top of him. The lounge was only room for one person lying down, what was he thinking?

"Look at this, what a lustful little girl you are, straddling me after I just woke up, tsk tsk tsk" he drawled in his bored tone. The only thing telling me he was interested was the slight gleam in his eyes as he stared down at my legs.

"Shu please, let me go"

Shu looked up into my eyes, that sadistic grin pulling at his lips. He reached up to stroke my neck, then quickly pushed me back and bit into my thigh. The pain was blinding, his hands were wrapped firmly around my hips, and the pure strength of his arms held me down. See, the neck is a dainty place, there are so many crevices that can be bitten, and they enjoy it. I had sometimes found it enjoyable, heaven forbid they found out. But my leg? No thank you. If Ayato was in a good enough mood, and I hadn't angered him at all (which was rare) he wouldn't try to hurt me as much. Maybe it was a subconscious thing, because no where in his heart is there room for affection, but his bite was undeniably softer.

These were the moments I found enjoyable. It feels as if they're draining you. Ever so slowly. It's toxic. You feel as if you've left your body and are just hanging limp against them. It physically and mentally paralyses you. But when he's less vindictive, its like a caress. It still hurts, but its a tingly feeling shooting through you. Its euphoric even. But I could never tell them that. Anyways, its a rare feeling, seeing as they never consider my feelings when they feed. Its hard to explain, and maybe its why they call me a masochist, but only Ayato has ever made me feel whatever that sick confession is.

Subaru try's to stay away from me, he doesn't go looking for me intentionally, which is one less brother I have to deal with. I just make sure to keep my distance and me and him are fine. I don't even mind the occasional meeting from him. Of course it hurts, and I don't want to be fed off like food, but he doesn't do it maliciously. I think he's inherently good, but he can't fight the urges that arise, no matter who he hurts.

Reiji is another story. He is malicious, and he is vindictive. He uses me as a test subject for various things, all of which I fall for. I can't help the fact I want to find the good in them, however evil they are. Reiji is torturous, literally. He enjoys inflicting pain more so then his brothers I assume, and its probably due to his corrupted childhood. They all have screwed up lives. However Reiji was ignored, so he takes it out on others so that they do notice him. Of course, this is all just what I've pieced together since I started living here.

Shu is, well. Shu is lazy, and I thought that would work to my advantage. I thought it would mean that he'd leave me alone. Oh how I was wrong. He, like Subaru, doesn't exactly seek me out, however he will appear in places I am and blame it on me. If I do happen to find him myself, I'm screwed. His fangs hurt more than most probably. It might be some strange physiology component because he's the eldest. Or maybe it's just because he like's to be spiteful. I'll never know I guess.

The triplets are all different in their own twisted ways.

Ayato is a bit too prideful for my liking. He's arrogant and loves to harass me, and seeks me out intentionally. All of the triplets do. He thinks he's claimed me, yet that does nothing to deter the other brothers away. He's selfish and uncaring, yet he can be good. I think I've spent more time with him then any of the other Sakamaki's without getting bitten. Again though, its because he yearns for attention because his mother denied him of it.

Kanato is the scariest however. His demonic ambiance is terrifying, and if he ever heard me say that I'd probably be a doll downstairs. Him and his creepy Teddy do nothing but stalk me and humiliate me. His sick obsession with killing and mutilating my dead body is more than a bit strange. I don't see him as often as the other two of the trio, but when I do its frightening.

Last, but definitely in no way comprehendable least, Laito. He is, father forgive me, as horny as they come. He is a sadistic, lustful pervert. He takes things to a different level then his brothers. In one way or another they've all tried to.. claim me, but he see's me as more than just food. He thinks I'll some day crawl to him on my hands and knees begging. Or maybe that's what he'll do. He changes sides every once in a while. Every so often he'll plead at me to soothe his aching 'needs', then when I deny him he hurts me once more.

They all have had a difficult past, but in no way does that mean they have to take it out on me. So there I was, laying across Shu with his teeth buried in my leg. Just another dreadful night at the Sakamaki manor.

…..…

I had ran as soon as I could outside and stayed there the entire night, and as the wind blew against my cold retreating body, I realized I was walking into yet another confrontation waiting to happen. Let's see…

A wake up call from Kanato in the morning, Ayato during breakfast, a scare from Subaru during a walk in the garden at lunch, a frightening encounter with Reiji at Dinner, and that midnight snack that Shu got, the only one who hadn't bothered me yesterday was…

"Little Bitch there you are"

Oh, of course.

Laito

A/N

Of course this is just some filler to help the plot progress, there will be more of Laito obviously. I'll probably begin to update about weekly to get in a sort of schedule for you guys. Don't forget to like and comment, any suggestions on future chapters you'd like to see would be cool.
