Alright, time for chapter three. I'm killing it. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Episode Three

'This silence is nearly unbearable.' Yui thought to herself, thinking about the silence that surrounded the dinner table she and the vampires were eating at.

She was sitting in a chair that was in-between Maria and Ayato. She looked at the brothers and saw that none of them were paying attention to each other, just focused on eating.

'They really must not get along.' Yui thought.

"Here you go, Sakutaro."

The platinum blonde looked at the young brunette and saw her feeding a piece of her meal to her bat, who was standing next to her plate.

"Maria." Reiji's stern voice spoke up. "I've told you before not to feed your pet at the table."

"But, Reiji-onii-chan, Sakutaro isn't my pet." Maria told him. "He's my friend."

"That doesn't matter. Animals are not allowed to eat at the dinner table."

"I don't see the problem." Yui said, leaning her elbows on the table. "You let Ayato eat here."

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?" the redhead asked as he glared at her.

"Nothing." the platinum blonde replied, looking away from him.

"Maria..." Reiji looked at the youngest sibling sternly.

Maria sighed sadly. "Sorry, Sakutaro." she apologized to her bat.

Sakutaro squeaked before he flew off the table.

'Reiji is really stern with Maria-chan.' Yui mentally commented. 'From what I've seen so far, they all seem to act differently towards her than they do with each other.'

"You haven't been eating much, Bitch-chan."

The platinum blonde looked and saw that Laito was standing next to her chair. She scowled as she leaned away from him when she noticed how close he was.

"You need to eat properly or you'll end up become an anemic." the hat wearer told her, leaning closer. "I'll be more than happy to feed you."

Yui scoffed. "Please, don't pretend that you care. You're just worried about the taste of my blood." she said.

"You're so cold."

"Laito!" Reiji called him. "It's bad manners to get to your feet during a meal."

"Yes, sir." Laito responded. "But this conversation isn't over, Bitch-chan." he said to Yui before he walked away and went back to his seat.

The teenage girl tried to resist the urge to flip him off.

Then Shu stood up from the table.

"Shu-onii-chan?" Maria said questionably.

"I can't deal with this." the blonde young man said, his eyes closed before he walked away from the table.

"That deadbeat." Reiji said more to himself after the oldest sibling walked out of the room. "As a child he had anything handed to him on a silver platter. This is what happens when kids are spoiled. Don't grown up to be like him, Maria."

"Yes, sir..." the young brunette nodded.

"This is why I'm strict on you, so you don't end up acting like Shu."

Maria didn't say anything.

"Teddy, what would you like to eat next?"

Yui turned her attention to Kanato and his bear.

"Let's have a banana snowball, shall we?"

The light purple haired boy lifted up his fork to pick up one of the sweets. However, it broke in half when he stabbed it. Then started to stab at the plate while laughing in a somewhat crazy way.

'Maybe I should careful how I act with this one.' the platinum blonde thought to herself. 'He seems to be the most mentally unstable.'

"He won't even make an effort to attend our monthly dinner party." the dark purple-black haired young man remarked. "That will be all for today." he announced to the others.

'Wow, that was awkward on so many levels.' Yui mentally commented as she sat up from the table with the others.

She looked over at Maria.

"What's wrong, Maria-chan?" she asked when she noticed the sad look on the little girl's face, the others had already walked out of the room expect for Reiji.

"Nothing, it's just..." the young brunette started to say, looking down at her lap. "I don't like it when my Onii-chans fight."

"Maria-chan..."

"Please excuse me." Maria she stood up and walked away, Sakutaro flying over and landing on her shoulder.

Yui said nothing as she watched Maria leave. She sighed as she started to walk towards the door.

"Just a moment." Reiji spoke up, stopping her.

"Yeah?"

"Your table manners are deplorable." the dark-purple haired vampire told her.

"Is that so?" Yui asked boredly. "I never really bothered to notice."

"One of these days, I'm going to have take you aside and discipline you thoroughly." Reiji stated. "Is that clear?"

"Yeah, yeah. If that pleases you, your majesty." the girl responded sarcastically.

"If you're not careful, that sharp tongue of yours will get you into real trouble very soon." he warned.

"I'll think about if I should take that threat seriously or not." Yui said before she walked away. "Oh ,and by the way..." she started to say, stopping at the door with her hand on the handle. "You should worry more about your little sister's feelings than my table manners."

Reiji's eyes widened slightly as he watched the girl, closing the door behind her.

Later

The platinum blonde girl was in her room and was sitting on her bed, looking through the journal she had taken from the old room.

'It's still blank.' she thought to herself. 'This photo is the only link I have left.' she looked at the photo that was her as a baby while her apparently adopted father held her.

She sighed and put the items back in the drawer of the nightstand that next to her bed.

"What are you doing?"

Yui jumped a bit in surprise and turned to the direction the voice came from.

"What hell are you doing in my room?" she asked Ayato, who was sitting in a chair and smirking at her. "Haven't you heard of knocking?"

"I do whatever I want." the redhead told her. "And right now, I want to suck your blood."

"Well, sorry to disappoint you, but I was just about to take a bath." Yui said as she stood. "So you're just going to have to wait. Forever." she stated as she began to walk away.

Ayato stood up from the chair and grabbed her wrist, bringing her closer towards him.

"Bastard, let go of me!" the teenage girl yelled, trying to push away from him.

"You know, I like it when you put up a fight." he said. "It makes it that much fun to break you."

The girl glared at him. Then she kicked right in the shin, causing him to release her.

"In your dreams, jackass!" she shouted as she shoved him away.

Ayato growled and pushed her onto the bed.

Yui was still a bit weak from the last time he sucked her blood, so she couldn't put up much of a fight when he pinned her down.

"Get off of me..." she growled through gritted teeth. "You're a lot heavier than you look, you know?" she mocked him, smirking a bit.

"Be quiet." he commanded as he pulled down the collar of her shirt and started to suck on her skin, sinking his fangs in.

"S-Stop it... Didn't you get enough last time?"

"But you're making it sound like it feels good." he remarked as he pulled his fangs back.

"Like hell." Yui growled. "These are sounds of discomfort and disgust."

"You're not a very good liar." Ayato said.

He leaned down and sucked the same spot again, making her winch in pain. When he pulled back, there was a noticeably mark on the spot he had sucked.

"I've left my mark on you, so wear your pain proudly." the vampire told her.

"Bastard..." she growled lowly as she glared at him.

"I think I'll leave my mark here, too." he said, leaning down to suck another part of her skin.

"No, stop it!" the girl yelled.

"Feel more pain." he squeezed her wrists harder. "More and more."

"Ngh!" Yui bit her bottom lips as she squeezed her eyes shut.

After a while, he finally pulled away.

"We'll pick up where we left off after your bath." Ayato told her. "I can't have you fainting on me before we get to the really good part." he leaned down to her ear. "You better not make me wait too long. Because if you do, you know what's going to happen." he whispered huskily, causing a shiver to go down her spine.

Yui, beyond pissed at the moment, tucked her legs in and used her feet to kick him in the chest, pushing him off of her and the bed, making him fall to the floor. She glared at his form as she fixed her shirt.

"Asshole. Do that again and you'll regret it for the rest of your life." she threatened.

"Whether you want me to or not, doesn't mean anything." Ayato said as he stood up.

Yui glared at him again before she got off the bed and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

In the bathroom

Yui pulled down her shirt collar and stared at the marks Ayato left on her in the bathroom mirror.

"Damn bastard." she glared at the marks on her pale skin.

Then she angrily punched the wall next to the mirror.

"If it breaks, you have to pay to fix it." a male voice suddenly said.

Gasping in surprise, Yui turned around and saw Shu in the water-filled bathtub, his clothes still on with his earphones placed in his ears like usual.

"Why are you in here!?"

"Could you keep it down?" the young man asked, his eyes closed. "Why are you always so noisy? And, to answer your question, I'm trying to enjoy my bath."

"With your clothes on?" she questioned, looking at him weirdly with a raised brow.

"Okay, then undress me."

"The hell? Do it yourself, you lazy ass sloth."

"Didn't you come in here hoping to see me naked?"

"You have some nerve, accusing me of something like that." the girl said crossly. "I came in to take a bath myself, so don't flatter yourself."

"Want to join me?" Shu asked, smirking at her.

"Excuse me?!" Yui exclaimed in disbelief. "As if, you perv! Man, you guys sure are brothers with how perverted you are!"

"You just say whatever comes to your mind, don't you?" the blonde vampire said.

"Have you just figured that out? You know you guys really shouldn't act like perverts around your sister. She'll think it's okay for guys to treat her like that."

"Trust me, Maria is more mature and smarter than she lets on."

"But still, what if someone was being a pervert towards her and kept touching her inappropriately?" Yui questioned.

"If that happens, then the guys and I would kill him. Simple as that." Shu said like it was the most normal thing ever.

'Are they siscons? Well, Maria-chan is their only little sister. It makes sense if they're all protective of her.' she thought to herself. "You know, I've been wondering something. All of you are siblings, but you're so different from each other. Why is that?"

"It's because we have four different mothers." the young man told her.

"Four?" Yui repeated.

"Yeah. Reiji and I have the same mother, Ayato, Kanato, and Laito are triplets that come from another mother, Subaru has a different mother." he explained.

"I see..." was all the girl said. "But, what about Maria-chan?"

"Maria..." Shu paused for a moment. "Maria is special."

"Special how?"

"Maria is not fully vampire. She's half-witch."

"Witch?" Yui repeated.

"Yeah, her mother was one." Shu said.

"Wow..." the platinum blonde had an amazed look on her face. "Can't say I'm really surprised by the existence of witches since I'm leaving in a house full of vampires now."

"Since she only has half-vampire blood, Marie stopped aging when she was nine." the vampire explained. "So now she's stuck in the body of a child. We don't know if it's permanent or if she'll ever start growing again."

"That's kinda sad. It must be tough living in the body of child for so long when you have the mentality of an adult."

"She's use to it. There's nothing we can do about it."

"Can she use magic?" Yui asked.

"She can." Shu replied. "But, because of her small body, she can't use large amounts of magic without it taking a toll on her. Last time she tried to use a bunch of magic, she was in a coma for almost a month.

"What happened to Maria-chan's mother?"

"Let me tell you this, she was a bitch."

"Eh?" the girl blinked, a bit taken aback from what he said.

"Maria's mother, Rosa, married our father unwillingly. When she found out she was pregnant, she tried to kill herself more than once. When Maria was born, she hardly paid any attention to her and wanted nothing to do with her because she was father's child. On multiple occasions, she was both verbally and physically abusive towards her."

Yui's expression turned sad.

"How did Maria-chan handle all that?" she asked.

"You ask a lot of questions." Shu sighed.

"Ah, Shu!" the girl shotued when she saw him sinking further into the tub, like he was going to sleep. She grabbed his hand.

His eyes widened when he felt her make contact with his skin. The image of a boy, fire, and a burning house ran through his mind.

"Edgar..."

"Shu. Shu!"

Upon hearing his name, the young man snapped out of his trance.

"Y-You're hurting me a bit..." Yui told him, her voice soft as the male vampire tightly gripped her hand, a slight pained look on her face.

Shu stared at her.

"Woah!" the platinum blonde exclaimed when she was suddenly pulled forward, landing in the water in front of the young man. "What the hell?"

"Let me suck your blood." he said.

"No way!" the girl shouted as she backed away, her back hitting the other end of the tub. "Don't even think about it!"

Raising his hand, the blonde grabbed her by the hair.

"You're not frighten of me, are you?" Shu asked, pulling her closer or him. "I can see the fear in your eyes."

"It's not fear." Yui said through gritted teeth, glaring at him. "It's anger."

"You're very pale." he pulled her head to the side to give him more access to her neck. "I bet your skin will spurt bright, red blood when I bite you." then he noticed the marks on her skin. "Did Ayato do that? He's such a possessive freak."

"You know..." the girl started to say, making him look at her. "I thought you would be different from the others." she smiled bitterly. "Guess I was wrong, huh?"

"Make no mistake. I am a vampire." Shu told her as he leaned towards her neck. "I'll show you a whole new world."

"Ah, wait!"

He ignored her and bit her neck, sucking her blood.

"Ngh!"

"Your blood is so hot. I can feel it warming me inside. I could get burnt." the vampire said as he pulled away from her neck. "You're getting excited, aren't you? What a dirty girl you are."

"Shut up, you bastard." Yui growled. "Don't make me sound like I'm some kind of whore."

"Your temperature is rising as my fangs caress your throat.

"Nice words." she grunted out. "You should be a poet."

"I know why you came you live with us, your blood is of the finest quality." Shu stated.

"Well that makes me feel better." the platinum blonde said sarcastically as some of her blood dripped into the water.

"You should beware." he warned her. "If you have any sense, you'll think twice before reaching out to me again. Never forget."

Yui had her head bowed down as she thought about what the male vampire just told her. Then, raising her fist, she punched him across the face.

"And if you have any sense, you'll think twice about doing that to me again." she said as she glared at him.

Shu started at her for a moment, a bit taken aback from the punch, before he got put of the tub.

"I'll say this, you're a pretty interesting girl. You're very bold and straightforward." he said, his clothes dripping wet. He touched the side of his face where she punched her, wincing just a little from the stinging sensation he felt. "And you do have quite a punch. I'll leave you to your bath, I'm bored now."

Yui just scowled at his retreating figure.

"He's an ass just like the rest of them." she said to herself when he was out of the bathroom.

She went ahead and had her bath

Later

Yui sighed as she walked into her room, now wearing her pajamas.

"Hey, Pancake."

She saw Ayato sitting on her bed.

"You're late. I've worked up quite a thirst."

"Not my problem." Yui said as she walked over to her dresser to put her clothes away. "Get out, I'm tired."

"You have no right to defy me." Ayato said as he stood up and walked over to her. "Let me suck your blood."

"No, I'm not in the mood, okay?" she snapped at him. "So get the hell out of here before I make you."

"Just submit to my feeding." he told her and pushed her on the bed.

"You jackass." Yui growled as she tried to get up but was soon pinned down by the male vampire. "Get off of me!" she started to struggle.

"Be a good girl for once and give in." Ayato said.

"Like hell!"

He leaned towards her neck but stopped when he saw a bite mark that didn't belong to him.

"What the hell is this?" the redhead asked, touching the bite mark.

"Ow! That hurt, you jerk." Yui said.

"Reiji? No, it must have been Shu. That little..."

"Shu!" Ayato yelled as he burst through the door that lead to the mansion's game room, dragging Yui with him.

He stomped over to where his older brother was, laying on a couch and no doubt trying to listen to his music and sleep.

"Are you trying to pick a fight with me!?"

The blonde young man didn't reply.

"Hey, are you listening?!"

"Keep your voice down please." Shu finally said, his eyes closed.

Ayato growled lowly.

"I challenge you to a game of darts." he said.

"Too much trouble." the oldest sibling replied.

"What's going on?" Maria asked as she walked into the room, Sakutaro sitting on her shoulder.

"Your brother is being an idiot, that's what's going on." Yui told her.

"Oh, so same old same old." the young brunette said.

"Hey!" Ayato yelled.

"So, why is he being an idiot?" Maria asked.

"For some reason he's flipping out because Shu sucked my blood." the teenage girl replied, rubbing the side of her neck where the vampire had bit her.

"That's because Ayato-onii-chan is very possessive and easily jealous."

"Yeah, Shu did say he was a possessive freak."

"Quit talking about people as if they're not here!" Ayato shouted.

"Oh, but you know its true, though." Laito stated as he came in the room.

"Laito-onii-chan." Maria said.

"Great, the other pervert is here." Yui remarked sarcastically.

Oh, don't be so mean, Bitch-chan."

"Get off of me before I hurt you." the platinum blonde threatened when he put his arm around her shoulders.

"But I just came down and heard the good idea Ayato-kun had for once in his life." Laito said.

"Hey!" Ayato yelled in annoyance.

"Even so, get off me." the teenage girl told him, ignoring the annoyed redhead.

"But we don't want the prize to escape, now do we?" the hat wearer stated.

"Say what?" Yui deadpanned. "Prize?" she questioned.

"You, Bitch-chan." Laito smirked.

"Like hell I am!" she yelled, punching him hard in the stomach.

"Oh my." Maria said as she watched her older brother fall to the floor, clutching his stomach in pain.

"Enough of this noise!"

"When did you get here, Reiji?" Yui asked the glasses wearer, who was suddenly standing in a corner of the room.

"What is the meaning of this commotion?" the dark purple-black haired vampire demanded, ignoring the question.

"Ayato-onii-chan is upset with Shu-onii-chan." Maria told him.

"He challenged him to a game of darts, but Shu refused." Yui added as Laito got up from the floor, rubbing his still slightly aching stomach.

"I could care less about her." Shu suddenly spoke up.

"I love you, too, Shu." Yui interrupted, her voice full of sarcasm.

"So be quite and let me sleep." the blonde haired young man said.

"Honestly, this isn't surprising." Reiji remarked, pushing up his glasses. "He shrinks back from any challenge."

"Reiji-onii-chan..." Maria said, but the second oldest continued.

"If you look up the word 'spineless' in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of him beside it."

"You know, I'm fine you insulting me to my face." Shu spoke up, opening his eyes. "But I don't really like when you insult me whenever Maria is here." he sat up. "I accept your challenge." he said to Ayato.

"Can I be in the challenge, too?" the young brunette asked.

"This isn't a challenge for little kids." Ayato said.

Maria pouted. "Even though I look like one, I'm not a kid..." she grumbled. "So mean."

"They need to settle this themselves, Maria-chan." Laito told her.

The half-vampire girl stuck out her tongue.

'Is she really an adult in a child's body?' Yui thought when she saw the girl's childish act.

"Maria, that act is not suited for a young lady." Reiji scolded.

Maria just huffed.

"It seems I will have to increase your lessons in proper etiquette." the dark purplish-black haired young man stated, pushing up his glasses.

The brunette flinched.

"Come with me."

"No!" Maria wailed as Reiji dragged her away and out of the room, Sakutaro flying after them.

"Will she be okay?" Yui asked, worried for the little girl.

"Yeah, he may be an ass, but Reiji would never hurt her." Ayato told her.

"He just wants Maria-chan to grow up to be a respectable young lady." Laito said.

"I can understand that." Yui remarked. "Well, I think I'll scram, too. See ya."

"Oh no, you don't." the hat wearer grabbed her, wrapping his arms around her body and pinning her arms to her side.

"Let me go!" the platinum blonde demand as he dragged her back, kicking her feet. "I don't wanna be the stupid prize!"

"Let's begin, shall we?" Laito said to his brothers as he held onto the struggling girl

Sometime later

"Shit." Ayato cursed under his breath as Shu through his last dart, earning him victory.

"Not too shabby." Laito remarked. "One-eighty."

The blonde vampire turned around and began to slowly walk away.

"Here's your prize, one Bitch-chan."

"Hey!" Yui yelled when the hat wearer suddenly shoved her forward, making her hit Shu's back. She glared at him.

"Mortals mean nothing to mean." Shu said as he turned around to look down at the girl. "They are simply prey for me to feed on." he grabbed her face. "You've already found out. If you hope to stay alive, you won't even dream of messing with me."

"Yeah, I get it." Yui said, slapping his hand away. "I stay out of your way, you stay out of mine. But, just so you know, I don't plan on being your submissive little blood bank. And if any of you try to make me a prize again without my consent, I'll kick your asses." she stated before she walked past the blonde and out of the room.

"And the kitten's claws come out again." Laito remarked.

The oldest sibling turned around and walked out of the room.

"Hey."

"I thought you left." Shu said when he saw Yui in front of him in the hallway.

"Yeah, well, I actually wanted to tell you something." the platinum blonde told him.

"What is it?"

"I thought the way you played darts was really cool." Yui smiled at him. "You're more incredible than I thought."

Shu's eyes widened a bit at her word, a sudden memory entering his mind.

Flashback

"Wow, Shu, you're incredible. I wish I could shoot darts like you." a little girl with platinum blonde hair said.

"If you want, I can teach you how."

"Really? Thank you, I would really like that."

The blonde young man smiled a bit, raising his hand and gently rubbing her head.

End Flashback

"Shu?"

The oldest sibling snapped out of his flashback and soon noticed that his hand was on Yui's head.

"What are you doing?" the teenage age girl asked, looking at him confusingly.

Shu quickly retracted his hand. The two stared at each other for a bit, not saying anything. The blonde soon regained his cool.

"You shouldn't say such weird things." he told her.

"What do you mean by weird?" Yui questioned, a bit annoyed at what he said. "I was giving you a compliment. How is that weird?"

Shu ignored her and walked past her.

"Jerk..." the platinum blonde mumbled under her breath, scowling at his retreating figure. 'But, for some reason...' she thought, bringing a hand up to her head. 'That gesture felt familiar to me. Why is that?'
