Summary: The souls of the deceased brides still linger in the Sakamaki household. They wait for the day to get their revenge and save another poor soul from becoming just like them. As Kanato steals Yui's life away from her in the room filled with wax figurines the souls put their plan into action.
The Revenge of Past Souls
Pink eyes fluttered opened as their owner groaned in pain. Yui rubbed at her forehead in an attempt to ward off the headache that blossomed inside her head. Slowly she lifted herself up from the floor. She wrapped her arms around herself feeling incredibly cold. Coughs raked her frame and she reached out for the wall behind her to keep herself steady.
Breathing heavily she gazed down to the floor.
"Teddy!" She cried out with shock.
The fuzzy brown Teddy Bear, laid on the floor. Its face to the stone floor and its plush limbs spread out. Yui pushed off the wall and picked up the stuffed animal. She brought Teddy to her chest giving the toy a hug.
"I'm sorry Teddy," Yui said to the stuffed animal as she buried her nose in its soft short fur.
Sighing Yui looked at her surroundings. The wax made brides stood lifeless as ever. Yui tilted her head to the side, her face was blank, but she was filled with a slight bit of wonderment. Why had she fallen asleep here? Why had she even fallen asleep?
"Hey Teddy, I'm tired of being in here." Yui said as she began to walk down the aisle. She held Teddy close to her. The room felt unusually cold.
Something was tickling her neck. Yui reached up ready to scratch at the annoying tickle. Her hand brushed through hair and that was when she froze in place. This hair was a little longer than shoulder length, she realized. She brought her hand to her face a lock of hair curled between her fingers, blonde. The hair was a few shades away from being white. Yui's eyes narrowed.
Yui walked as fast as her legs could carry her. Soon she began to run, but the speed still didn't feel fast enough to her. She felt like she was moving at a snail's pace. Her lungs began to burn and she found herself gasping for breath. Grasping the clothing over her beating heart, with her hand to somehow help with the pain that had bloomed in her chest from over-exerting herself.
Her eyes widened.
Beating heart.
Her heart should not be beating. She raised her hand up to her face. Her hand was smaller than she remembered more dainty with healthy pink nails. Her nails had never been pink. They had always shown a faint purple color due to the lack of oxygen circulation in her body.
Looking down she saw a black skirt, white ruffles underneath it. It was a skirt that belonged to the female version of the school uniform. She lifted one of her legs, the complexion of the skin was pale but the skin was certainly tanner than her own white almost ashen skin tone.
Her hand once more went to her chest where she felt the slight rise of breasts. Suddenly her hold on Teddy tightened. Yui stared down at her shoes feeling lost as questions flooded her mind.
"Is this a prank?" She thought at first.
"Some kind of odd dream?" She thought next as she continued to squeeze Teddy in confusion.
Yui knew she should not be wearing a skirt. She knew she did not have breasts. She knew that she shouldn't feel so helplessly human. She knew that she was not a she. All she knew was that she was not Yui.
So that begged the questions why was she Yui? Why was she a she?
A tear rolled down one of her cheeks and in frustration rubbed at her tear filled eyes. She sniffled and chocked out a sob. Her confusion had led her to tears and Yui couldn't help but cry in the middle of the hallway.
Yui sniffled and rubbed at her runny nose as her eyes slowly sharpened into a glare. Anger began to swell inside her as confusion died away.
"Yui," she growled out.
Her distention changed from before and she swiveled around on her heel to take herself to Yui's room.
"Yui," she called when she stomped through door leading into a very pink decorated room.
"Hello-" Raito began to say before he was cut off by Yui asking, "Where is Yui?"
Raito stood up from his position on the bed and walked closer towards the human girl. Anger seemed to radiate from her as she breathed in and out heavily. Raito's eyes flicked down to her arms. She was holding something in her arms. A something that seemed very familiar...
"Now now Little Bitch. You shouldn't take things that aren't yours." He said when he realized she held Kanato's Teddy in her arms.
Raito made a grab for Teddy, only to have Yui side step him as she asked again, "Where is Yui?"
Raito sighed, "Little Bitch is Little Bitch. See," he said as he led her over to her vanity.
She took in her reflection. Seeing the blond hair, the pink eyes and long lash, the small pink lips, and the lack of shadows under her eyes. She breathed in deeply feeling herself getting angrier.
"Where is Yui?" she asked again.
"I just said Little Bitch is-"
"Don't call me that!" She screamed as she stood up knocking Raito away.
"I'm not Yui!" She continued, watching as Raito rubbed at his chin and opened his mouth to say something to her.
"Who are you then? If you're not Little Bitch then who are you?" Raito asked the blond.
"I'm Kanato," She said.
There was a pause of silence.
"...Hahaha," Raito laughed.
"You're Kanato?" Raito questioned her watching as Yui's rage suddenly dropped and a look of indifference came to her face.
"Yes," she replied.
Raito smirked, "Now now Little Bitch. Let's stop with these silly games and – Little Bitch?"
Yui had turned her back on him and had started to walk towards the door.
"Little Bitch where do you think you're going?" Raito asked as he appeared in front of her blocking her from exiting the room.
"To find Yui," she said.
"Little Bitch," Raito shook his head in disbelief.
"I'm not Yui," she said to him and then sniffled as if she was about to cry, "Why can't you see it's me, Kanato. Can't you recognize your own brother?"
Raito looked down at her. He lowered his head down to gaze into Yui's eyes in an attempt to humor the human.
"All I see is-" Raito stopped short.
Yui's eyes were often filled with concern for herself and for others too. Her eyes would show fear, happiness, and confusion. And sometimes she would get a fierce look of rebellion in them. She was the type to wear her emotions on her sleeve more often than not. The emotion that played in her eyes now, however, was different. Her upper eye lids slanted down slightly giving her eyes a harsher look as she sent a displeased glare at Raito.
Raito blinked for a moment. He may be a vampire, but something like this really did seem impossible.
"Kanato," Raito whispered in puzzlement.
A smirk formed on Yui's face pleased that she had finally gotten her way.
"Yes, I'm Kanato. Now where is Yui?" Kanato asked.
Author's Note: Thank you for reviewing, favoriting, and following. :)
I hope this chapter helped clear up some of the confusion from the early chapters, but just in case... Yui and Kanato have switched bodies.
