Hello everyone! I know it has been awhile since I updated this story but I have three legitimate reasons for doing so:

1. Life.

2. There have not been a lot of chapters in the manga involving Lest so I had to wait to see if there were anymore chapters involving him so I could understand his character better.

3. I procrastinate sometimes - sorry - but it gives me time to develop my stories.

Enjoy!

Yuu couldn't remember the last time he had a good night's sleep. It usually took him hours to fall asleep because the house his family lived in only had one bedroom and no beds. He couldn't recall how many times one of the kids unconsciously rolled on top of him, or how many days he woke up with a sore back due to the floors cold, hard surface. He usually didn't complain about it, because he enjoyed waking up and see his family smiling at him every morning.

Yet as his mind began to regain consciousness, he couldn't help to think about how soft the floor and his pillow felt. He snuggled under the covers, wanted to hold in as much warmth as he could before he had to get up. Rolling over, his eyes blinked open, expecting to see Mika sleeping next to him as always.

Mika wasn't there.

Yuu blinked again to see if his eyes were playing tricks on him, but all he saw was an empty space. His heart clinched as he sat up and looked around. The room was dark and he couldn't see or hear any of the kids snores.

Strange, he thought, did they wake up before me?

He pushed off the covers and began to crawl towards the direction he knew lead to the ladder to get downstairs, surprised by how squishy the blankets made the floor under him. He found it weird that it was so quiet. He expected to at least hear the kids downstairs talking or the sound of their utensils clanking against their bowls. Yet there was nothing. No light, no sound.

As he reached forward to feel for the ladder, his felt his other hand slip out from under him. As he fell forward, the rest of his body slid and he began to tumble. Briefly noting feeling a cloth slide over his face, Yuu was suddenly blinded by light before his cheek met an extremely hard surface. Bewildered, he scrambled to a seated position and looked around. It only took him a moment to realize this was not his room in the vampire city.

The room itself was extravagant. Elegantly craved dark wood covered the ceiling and the lower half of the walls, the upper half decorated with paintings of people and scenes from a distant past. There was a golden chandelier directly above his head complete with large candles that gave the room an extra glow. Looking behind, Yuu saw something he hadn't seen in years: a bed. He had been sleeping in a bed, one with four posts made from the same craved wood in the room and covered with heavy silk sheets that were the color of blue and embroidered with gold.

For a moment Yuu thought he was dreaming. But the pain that was coming from this cheek after it hit the floor told him he was wide wake. Which lead to the questions of why was in a room that looked like it belonged to a king and how did he get there.

Images flashed in his mind; his family escaping the city, the vampire attacking them, the blood...everything came rushing back. He sat on the floor staring out at nothing, yet picturing his family lying on the floor, blood from their injuries pooling around them. They were all dead, and it was his fault.

"NO!"

At that moment he heard the door slam open. Looking in that direction, he scurried backwards when he saw two common vampires enter the room and stalked towards him. He tried get up and run away, but the vampires were faster then him and they quickly grabbed the collar of his shirt. He struggled as they dragged him out of the room. He struggled against them, kicking them, screaming at them, but with his mind the way it was his body quickly became tried.

As they continued down the hallway, Yuu noticed a line of windows on one side of the hall, as they past one of them, Yuu saw the the tops of trees and a starry sky. His breath hitched at the site, and he continued to stare out at the the scene until they reached a pair of large double doors.

Without warning, the doors opened on there own simultaneously in front of him, as though his presence was expected. As they walked through the threshold, the first thing Yuu saw was the vampire he met outside the vampire city. The room itself was a little gaudy and bare, but grand with gold wall and blue stone columns. The vampire himself was sitting on the only chair in the room, staring at him. A throne, Yuu realized, the pompous vampire was sitting on a throne.

A sudden burst of rage surged through him when he saw the monster had a smirk plastered on his face. He lunged forward only to be held back by the other vampires before being roughly thrown on the floor at the noble's feet. The impact had knocked the wind out of his body and he began to cough violently as he tried to breathe. Still lying on the floor, he looked up at the vampire on the throne. He wasn't looking at Yuu anymore, rather he was speaking to the common vampires in a language he didn't understand. Soon he heard the sound of footsteps and a door slamming shut.

The vampire looked back at him. "Are you going to lie there helplessly or are you going to stand?" The vampire was now speaking to Yuu in Japanese, "Or are you going to tell me one of the bones in your weak human body broke and now you can't move?" The vampire's tone infuriated Yuu. Vampires always looked down on humans because they were physically weaker than the vampires, a fact Yuu knew all to well. But he wasn't just going to lie there as the monster in front of him mocked his strength. While remember the death of his family, Yuu now remembered his vow to kill all the vampires to avenge them.

And he would start with this vampire. He was about Yuu's size so it was possible that he could take him. He was a child, he couldn't have been that strong.

Without a second thought, he curled his hand into a fist. Then he jumped up from the floor and ran towards the vampire. He then raised his fist and through it forward, aiming for the vampire's head. The vampire made no attempt to move.

He yelped in shock as pain shot through his hand and up arm. Looking down, he found his fist smashed against the hard back of the throne. The exactly place where the vampires head should have been. He cursed himself internally, he had blinked and the vampire moved his head to the side.

Damn vampire speed.

What happened next was unavoidable. The vampire reached out and wrapped his hand Yuu's injured arm, and before he realized it he was the one siting on the throne with the vampire looming over him. With a vice grip on his wrist, he knew he wouldn't be able to get away without the vampire breaking his arm.

"That was reckless," the vampire stated in a low whisper. There was a look of indifference in his eyes Yuu's was use to seeing on the faces of vampires, yet looking past that he saw a twinge of arger and murder that made Yuu's blood run cold. Still, he refused to show any fear.

"Let me go," he hissed back at the vampire.

They stared at each other for several moments after that, both refusing to break eye contact, and slowly the argue in vampire's eyes faded away into a look of amusement. The indifference remained, but it merged with the smug smile the vampire have on his face earlier.

"I can't do that," he replied. "Your too valuable and too amusing."

Yuu gritted his teeth, "If you think I'm going to let you anywhere near my blood, you can go to..."

"Is that anyway to speak to your savior?" So the boy didn't know about the Seraph of the End. It was probably for the best at the moment, if the human didn't know about the power he had, he wouldn't use it on Lest.

"'Savior?'" Yuu choked out, "You bastards killed my family! Your the furthest thing from being my 'savior'!"

"As I stated before, your family's death has nothing to do with me. So would you kindly stop shouting about it before I rip your tongue out." It wasn't exactly a empty threat, and he was glad the human seemed to understand that. At least he was smart enough to figure that out.

"Very good," he praised. He liked his pets to be obedient. "Now then, allow me to explain your situation. You would have died out there in the snow, but I saved your life. As such your life now belongs to me." Yuu was about to protest, but Lest cut him off again, "You will not be considered livestock, at least not in the normal capacity. You will instead be my pet, you will do everything I ask of you. Your blood and life are mine and mine alone, and in exchange you will be allowed to live in comfort in my palace. It's not a bad deal if you think about it."

Yuu was stunned at the vampire's words, and his rage flared once more. "Like hell I'd agree to that! I'm no vampires pet! Let me go right now!"

Lest loosened his grip on Yuu's wrist just enough for him to break free. He got up from the throne and push past the vampire towards the doors. Lest watched him for a moment longer then snapped his fingers. The doors opened once more and the two vampires that had brought Yuu to him appeared. They each grabbed one of his arms so he wouldn't escape. He had told them to not be to rough with him when they came back to the castle, for he knew that they could seriously harm the human without thinking. And he was of no use to Lest if he was hurt.

"It's pointless for to try and escape," his words caused Yuu to stop struggling with his captors. He looked over his shoulder and glared at Lest, who would have found the action amusing if it wasn't tiresome. "Sooner or later you'll realize that becoming my pet is your only option. No one knows you're here, your family is dead, and you're thousands of miles from home."

The last part confused Yuu, and while he would never trust any words from a vampire he couldn't help but as the question.

"What do you mean? Where am I?"

At that, Lest gave him a superior smile, "Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany. And it case you didn't know, I am Lest Karr. Third progenitor and the King of Europe."

The look on Yuu's face was beyond priceless, no words could describe it. He strolled up to Yuu and silently order his men to spin him around so he was facing Lest. The priceless look on his did not go away as they did so, nor when Lest gripped his chin.

Lest's eyes danced with delight. This boy was definitely worth the trouble. That look made him feel stronger that he had ever felt before. The thought of an all powerful seraph bowing to him, obeying him, and fearing him was worth everything he was and everything he had. He couldn't wait for that day to come.

For now, they would start with something simple. Still gripping his chin, he made sure that his eyes met Yuu's before giving him his first order.

"But from know on," he said, "you will call me Master."

Done!

I would like to thank everyone for their support up till now, you are all awesome. I am motivated by reviews so please tell me what you think. I know Lest got a little creepy in the end, but vampires are possessive creatures. As for Yuu's expression upon learning about Lest's identity and his location, I will leave that to your imagination.

As for Neuschwanstein Castle, I just pictured Lest living there when I started working on this story.

My OC will be introduced in the next chapter.
