The moon was her sun...
The night was her day...
Her blood is their life...
But they are her prey...
I yawned stretching my arms above my head as I stepped through the portal that led from the demon world to the human world.
"I cannot believe that I didn't not receive notification sooner...just what the fuck was she thinking?" I muttered darkly to myself as I made my way to my home away from home, the Sakamaki mansion.
I slammed open the front door making myself known as I stomped in. My mind was focused on one thing and one thing alone, finding my little sister.
"Do you wanna die!" I hissed slamming open her bedroom chamber door shocking her and making Richter who was leaning into her face jump away from her.
"M-Michiko, milady!" Richter said and I glared at him.
"LEAVE!" I hissed my eyes flashing demonically and he immediately disappeared.
I turned my demonic eyes on my sister who with trembling in fear at the sight of me. "Oi, of all the shit you've done over the years Cordelia this…this has got to be the most fucked up!"
"Mi-" She stared to speak but I cut her off.
"Shut up!" I narrowed my eyes. "Why are you picking a fight with me?"
"I-I'm not!"
My eyes widened and my demonic energy flared. The room was beginning to be incased in darkness.
"Don't you dare fucking lie to me!" Cordelia flinched like a struck her.
I glared at her although my glare lessoned slightly as tears fell from her eyes. The next thing I knew she was on her knees her arms wrapped around my legs and her face buried into my dress as she sobbed ou her frustrations.
I frowned as she began venting her frustrations before sobbing again.
I sighed stroking her hair. "So let me get this straight, you my sister, decided you weren't going to tell me you were pregnant with not one child, not two, but are having a set of triplets because you didn't think I would want to know?"
She nodded and I gripped her hair roughly yanking her head to the side, making her hiss in pain...ironically she didn't remove her arms from my lower body.
"Do you really think I'm going to believe that shit? I'll only give you one more chance to tell me the truth..." I said glaring down at her but she didn't speak.
I waited but she didn't speak. I released her hair with another sigh and she buried her face back into my dress.
When I heard the front door open and close and the sound of Shu laughing as Beatrix scolded felt Cordelia tense, her grip on me tightening in a familiar yet possessive manner.
"Is it because of Beatrix?" She didn't respond.
I listened as I heard Shu questioned Beatrix if I was in the house, the boy had easily caught my scent and I smiled.
Cordelia's grip on me tightened further to the point of bruising and I looked down at her once more, she hadn't been this possessive since we were children and I briefly wondered if it was because of the fact that she was pregnant.
"So its Shu…my godson."
She let out a growl looking up at me her peridot eyes melting to an acid color as they glimmered with jealousy. "Don't call him that!"
I raised an eyebrow before chuckling and squatting down next to her. "You know, just because I have a godson doesn't mean I won't love my nephews any less."
She scowled puffing out her cheeks. "I still cannot believe you've taken on that filth's child like your own…"
"As I will do for yours…don't be so jealous Delia." I said blatantly ignoring the insult to Beatrix.
"I'm not."
"Are too."
"Are not!" She growled.
"Sure you're not…" I said with a smirk making her huff. "You should take a bath, relax a bit, then perhaps we can talk a bit more."
She sighed. "Yeah…ok…"
I waited until she walked into her personal bathroom I turned walking out of the room and towards where my adorable godson awaited.
~~~Guilty Pleasures~~~
"Where's my angel~" I heard a chuckle before I heard feet rushing towards me.
"Shu stop running." I heard Beatrix scold him and I knew she was wearing a disapproving frown.
I turned the corner only to have Shu's body attach himself to my legs.
"There's my angel~" I cooed as I leaned down engulfing the boy into my arms. I leaned down, rubbing my nose against his and he chuckled doing to the same to me.
"Hm look at how tall you've grown since I saw you last, and so handsome too I could just devour you." I said peppering his face with kisses.
He blushed turning his head away, whining about how I was embarrassing him.
"What? Does that mean you don't want my love anymore…if you say that then I'll have to give if away…" I warned playfully.
I chuckled when he continued to resist. "Ok fine, fine."
"Come with me, I want to show you a piece I mastered." Shu said with a bright smile.
"Alright." I said allowing him to pull me away when I caught a new scent. I looked up for the first time to see another child, only this one sat next to Beatrix a book in his hand although I could see him staring at me with a curious expression.
The boy had hair being a shade of purple-black with lighter purple-gray gradients. It was almost an inch away from being shoulder length and it is neatly combed, his eyes reminded me of Richter's garnet orbs. I resisted frowning at the glasses he wore…what vampire needed to wear glasses?
I stared at him in confusion taking a step towards him even as Shu attempted to pull me in the opposite direction.
"Well, what do we have here?" I said towards Beatrix who was needling although my eyes never left the boy with garnet eyes.
"Hmm?" She looked up at me before looking down at the boy. "Oh, this Reiji, my second son. Reiji..." She said his name making him look at her his eyes lighting up.
"Yes mother?" He said respectively.
"This is Princess Michiko of the demon world although she may soon take the place of Queen. As a gentleman you must always show her your utmost respect. Understand?"
"Yes mother." He said softly before bowing towards me.
"How charming…" I snickered before curtsying back to him.
I pouted soon after looking back at Beatrix. "Bea-chan~ you're so mean to me. Why didn't you tell me that you had another child?"
She looked at me before giving me a small smile. "I'm sorry Princess Michiko, I humbly beg your forgiveness."
"Michiko-chan can we go now…" Shu huffed and I chuckled when Beatrix scowled him about his manners.
"We are not finished with this conversation Bea-chan~." I said shooting her a look and she nodded. I looked at Reiji as he looked between his mother and I curiosity in his eyes. "Bye Reiji-kun, unless you would like to come along with us?"
His face flushed as he looked towards his mother to see what she said. "I-"
"Michiko-chan, come on…" Shu huffed cutting his younger sibling off and pulled on my arm a bit harder.
"Alright, I'm coming." I said with a chuckle and waved towards Reiji before letting Shu lead me towards our favorite room, the music room.
I listened to him, applauding him when he finished his violin solo, before I tackled him, tickling his sides making his face turn red as his laughter echoed throughout the mansion.
~~~Guilty Pleasures~~~
The seasons changed from winter to spring washed in like the tide, advancing confidently with warmth and white sunshine one day and retreating the next. On some days the new vibrant hues of the pansies and daffodils were bathed in tepid air that encouraged them gently, on others the wintry wind gusted fiercely - demanding a return to the bitterness of the months before. But like the tide, the spring would not be stopped, it pushed on right into March, banishing the chill to memory. Sometimes the rain would fall gently, and other-times lash at the windows of the ward, but its iciness was quite gone...and with that, my sister's due date closed in.
She had gotten moody…well more moody than usual…and not to mention extremely possessive in the last month.
It had gotten to the point that I would have to bathe after spending time with Shu before I could even be around her, least she start foaming at the mouth akin to a rabid animal.
She was clingy, but that was to be expected, I hummed as I continued to slide my fingers through her hair, her head laying on my chest, her arms and legs wrapped around me as if I were her security blanket…and maybe I was.
Her cravings though…were the worst. I hadn't witnessed a demon child's birth in so long I had almost forgotten about the blood cravings. Cordelia…would be craving the blood of her blood to help sate the little devils inside of her the closer she grew to her due date, the blood of a full blooded demon…my blood.
My blood stained many of her favorite dresses. When I would cut her off she would cry… and I don't be throw a tantrum, I mean cry rivers of tears…she was so…unlike herself that even I was beginning to wish she would hurry and give birth to the little devil before I gave into my sadist urge to strangle her in her sleep.
"Michiko-chan you can't leave me…you must never leave my side ok?" She cried out for me and I sighed.
"Yes Cordelia..." I said robotically.
"And you must never-" I stopped looking down at her only to see her face contorted in pain.
"Their coming…" She hissed in pain.
Everything from the moment she muttered those two words was moving rather quickly.
Cordelia's pain filled shrieks I swear could be heard even from the lowest pits of hell. Cordelia screeching at the top of her lungs to 'Get them out of her!' would be a memory I would never forget.
Three days it continued…three whole days.
The house was filled with the cries of newborns but that didn't bother me as I had delivered them. I held two babies in my arms as Cordelia only held one.
I rolled my eyes as she muttered spitefully about her only needing one child and being cursed with three, how it was supposed to be me in her position not the other way around.
"Oi what are you going to call them." I asked her snapping her from her muttering.
She frowned before looking down at the baby in her arms. He shared her peridot colored eyes and had a similar shade of hair like my own. "His name will be Ayato, and he will be the king."
I raised my eyebrow looking down at the other red head with emerald eyes in my arms but also thinking about my angel, Shu. "But Ayato-kun is not the firstborn."
"He is now." She said staring at the child in her arms with a wolfish grin.
"Delia…" I sighed.
"The 'Filith' birthed nothing but trash, and 'trash' is not befit for the throne. Do what you will with the others, Ayato will be the successor. He will become the best and he will be the future Vampire King." She said stubbornly.
I grit my teeth before letting out a heavy sigh. I knew that I if voiced my opinion about my godson not being 'trash' I would only walk away with a headache from Cordelia incessant whining. As long as she didn't dare call him that to his face, we would be fine after all, as my godson Shu belonged to me...and nothing I possessed was 'trash'. "Whatever, what will you name these two?"
"I like Kanato and Laito, I don't care who gets what name. You can decide that for me." She said completely uncaring and I knew I would definitely have to keep an extra eye on the two as they grew.
I hummed looking down at the two boys before making my decision. I looked at the boy that was technically the oldest. "You will be Laito." Then I shifted my eyes towards the smaller bundle that held the middle triplet that shared Cordelia's hair and my amethyst eyes. "And you shall be Kanato."
I kissed them both on their foreheads before placing them in their respective cribs before doing the same with Ayato.
"What are you doing?" Cordelia asked as I made my leave from her room.
I looked at the door before looking at then back to the door. "I think I'm leaving?"
She pouted. "Don't leave me here all alone with these brats!"
I gave her a dry look. "Really, they are your brats."
"Don't leave me here alone Michiko-nee, what do I do if they wake up and start crying?"
I sighed. "Cordelia I will return shortly."
"But-"
"Just rest, I'm sure you can manage on your own. They boys won't want much, if they cry, try feeding them, if they are still fussy see if they're diaper needs to be changed. For the most part, babies demonic or not just tend to sleep a lot."
She huffed crossing her arms against her chest. "Fine."
"I will be back, but I'm sure you can manage until then." I said flashing her a smile before walking out of her room.
~~~Guilty Pleasures~~~
"How much sugar would you like your tea?" I asked the silver-ette softly.
"Just a little bit more nee-sama…" She said shyly brushing her hair out of her face and I smiled.
I nodded giving her one cube of sugar before placing two in my own. We sipped our tea, enjoying the peaceful silence that surrounded us.
"It's so good to see you again." She said softly. "It gets lonely here sometimes…"
My eyes drifted around the towers' room with an angry expression. "I bet it does…"
"Please don't look so upset nee-sama." She whispered reaching over and placing her gloved hand over my own.
I gave her a dry look. "Christa, you are kept cooped up in this tower…why wouldn't I be the slightest bit upset."
"Nii-sama says it's for the best." She said as if that just explained everything.
"Nii-sama is a fucking liar." I said with a frown.
"Nee-sama please don't speak ill of Nii-sama." Christa said sounding distressed and I sighed.
"Christa-"
"I'm sorry to interrupt." I turned to see Karlheinz standing in the doorway, although he sure as hell didn't look sorry.
"Nii-sama!" Christa called out to him happily before standing and making her way over to embrace him.
I watched as Karlheinz sighed; his eyes flashing with irritation as Christa wrapped her arms around him speaking about how she missed him and so on.
I sighed shaking my head, that poor girl was nothing more than a victim.
"I need to speak with Princess Michiko." He said sternly and Christa immediately released him with a frown, her red eyes shifting over to me curiously. "You came for Nee-sama?"
"Of course, why else would I be here?"
"This is why a call you an insufferable ass…" I mumbled as I walked over towards him. His eyes glittered the closer I got to him, his lips twitching into a smirk.
"Michiko your harsh words wound me." He said teasingly.
"I'll come and see you again soon alright Christa?" I said looking back at her.
She gave me a smile but her eyes were sad. "Ok nee-sama, please come back soon though."
I laid across his sofa as he sat behind his desk. "So…what the hell do you want…"
"To put it simply…A favor." He said after a moment of silence passed between us.
I sat up a smirk coating my lips. "A favor… the great and oh so powerful vampire king wants a favor from me, really? I must say you do know how to catch a woman's interest."
"I need you to do something for me. Will you do it?" He asked his golden eyes staring at me.
"Depends on what it is?" I said with a yawn, jumping from the human world to the demon world, always made me sleepy.
"You know of my Adam and Eve project?" He said slowly and I shrugged.
"Vaguely. I know enough to know that what you are trying to achieve is pointless."
"Don't be so pessimistic."
I rolled my eyes. "I'm not being pessimistic, I'm being a realistic."
He sighed.
"So are you going to tell me about this favor or not, because I have some cute little nephews that I could be with…"
"Hn your ability to withstand and deal with children has always intrigued me…"
I shrugged with a smirk. "Children love me…but I am the best so…"
"You would make the ideal mother...to any male that you take as a husband." He said thoughtfully.
"You don't need to bore me with things I already know." I said with a bored sigh. "Get to the point or I'm leaving."
"I have impregnated a young woman, a lower class demoness to be precise, and-"
"Wait what?"
"And she is to birth early August." Karlheinz continued like I didn't even interrupt him.
"You bastard!" I hissed at him before blinked. "Why the fuck are you even telling me this? You know, I should have you de-balled."
"Considering your affinity for children…" He trailed off ignoring my snide comment, but it didn't take a genius to see where he was going with the conversation.
"No…no way in hell." I said immediately.
"But Michiko-" He whined, yes, the vampire king whined.
"No way in hell! I want nothing to do with your bastard child, I already have my hands full enough. How the hell would I even explain that to Cordelia?" I growled placing my hands on my hips as I glared at him.
"You wouldn't, she doesn't need to know." He said with a frown.
"Oh yeah? Like hell she wouldn't notice an unfamiliar child's scent on me." I said rolling my eyes.
"Hmm then perhaps if he stayed in the demon world, would you consider it?" He offered.
I continued to glare at him. "Why do you want me to do this? If he stays in the castle surely you will give him a butler to care for him?"
"Ah been then he would lack a maternal figure." He said looking over me.
"How so? What of his mother biological mother? She may be your mistress but she's still the mother of your child, could she not live with her child?" I said with a frown.
He sighed "Oh…I feel as if she will be dead soon after his birth, so her opinion won't matter."
I shook my head with a sigh. "You truly are a bastard you know that?"
"Is that a yes?" He asked with a chuckle.
"I at least want to meet this young lady you've basically sentenced to death." I huffed and turned walking out of his office and slamming the door.
