Chapter 3! Basically we see who Sakura truly is and what her story is. Hey, everyone has a story to be told :)

I do not owe anything related to Diabolik Lovers but my own characters.


The following morning (or night) Sakura woke up to a beautiful moonlight. She felt extra happy that today was Saturday and that there was no school. And to add to that happiness, Sakura would be going shopping today with Yui in the city. Of course, Yui had to accept her invitation, but she knew she'll accept it.

Sakura noticed it was seven when she woke up. She had one hour to get ready and another to clean up her room. It was an absolute mess! Her clothes were on the floor, her books were everywhere, and she had homework scattered all over her desk. She wanted to call the maids and order them to clean this mess for her, but she forbid herself to do so. It would be to easy and frankly, she like doing things on her own. Except for her homework.

Before Sakura did anything, she went to go check on Yui. To invite her to go out and to make sure she was still alive. Last nights conversation with Subaru did keep her thinking and she decided to keep this girl alive. They still didn't know who sent her to their

mansion, but it must be for a good reason. After all, they did say not to kill her and they never gave instructions when new brides arrive.

Sakura was dressed in her burgundy nightgown that reached above her knees and hugged her curves perfectly. She didn't bother to change, since Yui's room was down the hall, so she knew none of her brothers would be around. But the fates had to be cruel, for down the hall Laito was walking towards her.

Laito was wearing his weekend clothing, aside from his school uniform. He noticed how revealing his sisters gown was and couldn't help himself.

"Well, Sakura-chan, aren't you feeling naughty today?" Laito asks, grabbing his sisters wrist and gently pushing her against the wall. He eyed her up and down, enjoying the view.

Sakura sighed, "It's just my nightwear, Laito. Can I go now?" She gasped as she felt Laito's tongue move up and down her neck.

Laito's free hand traveled down to her waist, bringing her body closer to his.

"But I want to have fun!" He whined, kissing her neck. "Come on, babe! Let's have fun like the old times."

Using all her strength, Sakura pushed the red head away from her. Fixing her nightgown and putting the straps back to her shoulders.

"That was a one time mistake, Laito." She tells him. "We were drunk and I was completely naive."

Laito gets back up, brushing his hair back with his fingers.

"Drunk in love, I'm afraid." Laito tugs on his shirts collar, unbuttoning the first four buttons to reveal his neck collarbone.

Sakura had to look away, realizing how much she was craving blood. Oh how much she wanted his blood...

Laito smirked in satisfaction. "You can have my blood and body, baby. Just say the words and I will be your slave."

Sakura grabbed his shoulders, slowly pulling him closer to her. Her fangs lightly touched his neck and before she sinked them down completely, someone coughed loudly to get their attention.

Both of them turned to their left and see Shu standing in front of them.

His eyes were closed and his lips were in a tight line. Like Laito, he was already dressed and ready for the night.

Shu grabbed Laito by the shoulder and furiously pulled him away from Sakura.

"I'm sure Reiji has told you before, but I'm going to remind you anyways. Keep your business in your room, Laito." Shu warned and released his grip on his younger brother.

Laito smirked and puts in his hands in his pockets. "Well, I can see that besides Bitch-chan, you also have your eyes on little babe. Not that I blame you, she is rather...irresistible. Especially when it comes to her body."

Before Shu even gained the energy to kill Laito, he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Sakura can feel Shu's muscles tense up and she knew she had crossed the line.

"What were you doing outside your room?" Shu asked, turning around to face his sister.

"I-I-I was going to Yui's room." She explained. "I have permission to go to the city with her. Reiji-San allowed it."

"Did he now." Shu sighed. "Will you do yourself a favor? If you're going to walk around with a nightgown on, you might as well wear one that's more revealing."

"Shu!" Sakura blushes madly, covering her chest.

"So you cover up for me, but not for Laito?!" Shu growled.

"It wasn't like that!" Sakura argued and also began to walk towards Yui's room. "Just leave me alone."

Shu watched as Sakura passed him without a second look and went inside Yui's room.

"I really don't deserve you." Shu whispered and went to his room.

Sakura looked around the room and noticed that the bed was already neatly made. The curtains weren't drawn, showing the moonlight, and the shower was on.

The young vampire sat down on the edge of the bed, waiting for Yui to appear.

As she waited for Yui, Sakura went though her phone. Replying to a few emails and going through her social media. She was so engrossed in a Twitter fight that was occurring, that she didn't even hear the bathroom door open.

Yui stood by the door, drying her off with a towel. "Sakura-chan?"

Sakura looks up and smiles. "Yui! It's about time- why are you backing away?" Sakura sighed in frustration. "I'm not going to drink from you!"

Despite not knowing the vampire for long, Yui trusted her words. "Oh, then what do you want?"

"Reiji has allowed me to go into the city and do some shopping. Since you're going to stay here for awhile, I was wondering if you wanted to join me? Since you'll be needing a few extra essentials and maybe a few dresses."

"Dresses?"

"Our father likes to invites us to a few social gatherings, but we never go. Well, except for this one time, but that was because he physically forced us to go. So, you might as well have one in case we're forced to go."

Yui has never gone to any balls or formal parties before. Not even the ones that were held at school. Her father was sought of strict.

"Well, do you wanna come?" Sakura asked.

Getting out of the house and being away from the boys would be good for her mind. And her neck.

"Sure! It sounds like fun."

Sakura smiles, "Great! Finish getting ready and meet me in the dining hall for breakfast. Wear something cute and comfortable." She winks flirtatiously at the human girl and leaves to go to the dining hall.

Upon arriving, the butler greets her and she orders for the staff to make two plates of scrambled eggs, toasted bread, sausages, and a glass of apple juice.

As the vampire waited for Yui and their breakfast, Sakura sat down in the dining table. Reiji soon came in with a manual in his hands.

"Good morning, Reiji-San." Sakura greeted.

"Morning, Sakura." He greeted his younger sister.

Sakura noticed how engrossed Reiji was with the manual in his hands. His eyes scanned through them as if he was trying to find a code or something.

"What you got there?"

Reiji looked up. "Oh this?" He asked, referring to the manual. "It's just a survey for tonight's dinner. That way the cook can make everyone their own desired meal."

"In that case, I'll have fish sticks with honey mustard and a side of French fries."

Reiji uncharacteristically chuckled, writing down his sisters order. "Alright, but you're having vegetables in next months dinner."

Sakura rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say, four eyes."

The two siblings stayed in a comfortable silence as Reiji finished writing down his own order.

"Is it alright if we took the limo?" Sakura wondered, not wanting to drive tonight.

Reiji nodded his head. "I'll make sure Haruko has the limo ready. Which reminds me," he digs in his pockets and takes out a gold credit card. "Here, use this."

Sakura eyed the card. "I already have my own card though."

"It's that mans card." Reiji quickly added. "Just take it."

Sakura didn't know how Reiji got father's card, but she took it anyway.

At least she won't be wasting her own money. Maybe her father will notice the credit card bills and he'll come visit them. She loved her father dearly, even though he could be an asshole. Yup! Father of the year.

"Thanks, Reiji."

"The limo shall be ready soon and Yui is on her way down."

Sure enough, Sakura smelled the human scent that she had soon recognized as Yui in one day.

Reiji disappeared from their sight as Yui entered the dining hall.

"I hope I didn't take long," Yui bows her head in respect.

Sakura shakes her head. "No formality needed, Yui." Two maids came in from the kitchen with their breakfast.

Yui's stomach growled in hunger at the sight of the delicious food. She sits down and begins to dig into her food.


(Three Hours Later)

Yui gasped as she and Sakura went inside a large boutique of dresses that was located in the mall. Even though it's been two hours, Yui still had tons of energy of her, even though Sakura had dragged her into every store they've seen.

The blonde girl had to admit that Sakura had amazing fashion sense. So far, the vampire had helped her pick out ten different outfits and a few pair of shoes.

The two girls looked around the boutique, admiring the gorgeous ballgowns that were on display.

A one of the other customers came up to Sakura, quickly recognizing her.

"Sakura!" The girl exclaimed, hugging her old friend from the side.

Sakura gasped when she also recognized the person and her voice.

"Oh my god, Amaya! You're back from America!"

Amaya Nakamura is the daughter of a very powerful chairman in Japan. Her family owns most of the companies that relay on electricity. Recently, her family took her and her brother to America for they can study in a boarding school, while their father dealt with business meetings and finding sights to built new companies.

Her and Sakura had been friends since their first year of high school. They're not only close, but they also share the same dance teacher. Sometimes, he would pair them up for a duet for the annual dance recitals.

Amaya smiled at her friend, her long curly brown hair shining under the faint light. Then she frowned, when she smelled something new. A human girl perhaps?

"There's a human in this store." She blurted out, looking over her shoulder and spotting Yui. "That girl..."

The brown haired girl didn't even get to take one step, since Sakura got in her way.

"Don't touch her, Amaya." Sakura warned. "She's a friend of mine and a guest to my home."

"Sacrificial bride?" Amaya guessed and Sakura nodded her head to confirm. "She looks so young..."

"She's in the same year as the triplets and us." Sakura explained. "She's an honor student and a very sweet girl. I'm just afraid that she will soon crumble underneath my brothers fingertips."

Amaya eyes lightened when Sakura mentioned her brothers. She had a certain crush on one of them Sakamkai brothers.

"How is Subaru, by the way?"

"Still quiet as ever!" Sakura chuckled to herself. "But he's doing fine. We all are."

"Good to hear."

Just in that moment, Yui walked up to Sakura. Amaya looked at the human girl, admiring her innocent sweet look. She was skinny for her age and appeared to be very breakable. She'll be dead by the end of next week if the boys drink from her constantly.

"Sakura, I found a dress I liked." Says Yui, looking at the girl that was in front of them.

"Yui, this is my friend Amaya Nakamura, she'll be attending school with us soon and is in the same year as us. Amaya, this is Yui Komori."

"A pleasure, Yui." Amaya shook her hand.

Yui shyly smiled. "Nice to meet you as well, Amaya."

Amaya sniffed, Yui's scent overwhelming her. "You smell...sweet."

The human girl shuffled her feet. "I'm not going to eat you." Amaya promised, chuckling to herself. "It's a compliment, a bad one to give though."

Yui giggled softly. "Then, thank you, I suppose."

Amaya looked at her watch and realized the time. "I have to go meet my limo at the front of the mall. I'll see you on Monday?

"You know it."

Amaya hugged both Yui and Sakura, leaving the store. Yui watches the new vampire leave, suddenly not feeling nervous or anxious.

Sakura turned to look at the girl. "So where's the dress you liked?"

Yui shook her head. "Now that I think about it, the dress isn't very amazing as I thought. But you should try it. It looks more like your style than mine" Yui suggested and led her to where she found the dress.

Sakura had to admit, Yui had a good eye when it came to dresses. The dress was a long turquoise blue with a sweetheart neckline, that was beaded. Sakura loved the color, even though she would've much preferred red. Looking more at the dress, the more Sakura feel in love with it.

"I'm going to try it on." She sees, taking it off the racks and going to the dressing rooms.

Yui patiently waited outside of the dressing rooms to see Sakura with the dress on or help her with anything. After a few minutes, she walks out of the dressing room.

Yui gasped. "It looks amazing on you!" She explained. "And with your red hair, it's absolutely stunning."

Sakura looked at the mirror and fell more in love with the dress. Sakura stood in five three and the dress was long, but she knew she can get it fixed. It hugged her curves perfectly, and showed some cleavage. Much to her liking. And Yui was right, her red hair complimented with the dress perfectly.

"Prom isn't going to be here until, April." She commented. "So this dress will just have to be in my closet for awhile."

"So you're getting it?"

"Yup!" Sakura looked over at one of the workers and she nodded her head.

The lady smiled and left to get a bag for the dress.

After paying for the dress, helping Yui get a dress herself, and do even more shopping, the girls found themselves in a coffee shop. The girls were tired from walking all night and wanted to relax their feet, until they went back home.

Sakura ordered a piece of red velvet cake for them and a two cups of hot chocolate.

As they waited for their order, Yui looked down at their feet. There had to be around ten to fifteen shopping bags for each girl! Sakura paid for everything, causing Yui to feel bad. But Sakura assured her that it was fine and that it was her dads credit card. The last fact made Yui feel even worse.

Sakura noticed Yui's discomfort and sighed. "Yui, I told you that it's fine! My dad doesn't even worry about the money."

"Oh, what does he worry about then?" Yui couldn't help but ask.

Sakura wanted to her tell, but kept quiet. "Vampire stuff." She simply replied. "He tries to visit us every once and awhile, but it's still rare of him to do so. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen him for two years now."

Speaking about fathers, made Yui felt anxious to call hers. Did he even know what was going on? Did he know that she was still alive? She sure hoped so.

"You miss your dad, huh?" Sakura asked, breaking Yui out of her thoughts.

Yui sadly smiled. "I just want to call him and tell him I am fine. I don't want him to worry."

Sakura forgot that Subaru broke Yui's phone with his hand. She wanted to help Yui, she really did. Sakura could get her a phone perhaps? The idea can get her killed.

Their cake and drinks arrived, distracting them. Yui took a bite of her cake and moaned in delight.

"This is really good!" She says, taking another bite.

Sakura giggled, handing her a napkin. "I know right? When me and Kanato come here, we always order the red velvet of strawberry cake. It's literally the best."

"Speaking of Kanato...can I ask you something?" Yui wondered.

The red head didn't know what made Yui want to ask her something, at the mention of Kanato, but agreed anyways.

"What do you wish to know?"

Yui took a deep breath, hoping Sakura doesn't get offended or become aggressive.

"Are you actually related to your brothers?" Yui finally asked.

Sakura chocked on her cake from the question. Yui patted her back, until Sakura's throat cleared up and she drank from her hot chocolate.

"I'm sorry for even asking!" Yui quickly apologized, removing her hand from Sakura's back.

"Don't be," the vampire says. "I'm just surprised you even asked or noticed that. Regardless, I will answer your question for I see no harm in it. No, I'm their stepsister."

"Stepsister?" Yui repeated. "So your mother married into the family?"

The mention of her mother, sent shivers down her spine. Sakura ignored the feeling though.

"My mother was named Masami Young and was originally born in England to a wealthy aristocrat family. I never meet my grandparents, but I knew they were good people from the stories my mother told me. They lived in England for most of her life, until they moved to Japan when she was eighteen. There, she met another wealthy man by the name, Makoto Souh. They fell in love and were soon married. Resulting in my birth some time after." Sakura stopped to remember her parents, mostly her father. Who she was always close to.

"When I was five, my father was murdered by a rival, who I don't know to this day. My mother was devastated. She wouldn't eat, get out of bed, or even talk. I've been told that I look after my mother and only share my father's eyes. She always told the maids to not let me in, for my eyes would only remind her of my father. After some time, my mother finally got up in her feet and we became happy again.

Around the time I turned six, we found out that the company my father had, was sold and we soon fell into debt. We didn't know what to do, but then my mother met Tougo Sakamaki. Not only was he the richest man in Japan, but he was very handsome as I recall. He told my mother that he can help us, for in exchange her hand in marriage. She was hesitant at first. I mean, who wouldn't? She didn't even know him and yet here he was; asking for her hand in marriage. Before my father's murder, I was promised to the son of a wealthy man. We've met in balls before and we were each others playmates. However, his father went into bankrupt, his wife left him, and he killed himself. I never saw my friend ever again. Anyways, my mother agreed for she knew that marrying into the Sakamaki family would give me another chance at a bright future."

"Did your mother know who Tougo

truly was?" Yui asked.

Sakura shook her head. "Not a clue, until their wedding night I assume. I didn't know either until...I'll get to that in a moment."

Sakura remembered the wedding. She was the flower girl and there was a huge party soon after the ceremony. Fireworks would explode upon them and the finest music filled Sakura's ears. She would dance and dance, never with a partner. For no children her age would go near her. Not that she minded.

People flaunted her as they called her a daddy's girl. Tougo would hold her from time to time, promising her nothing but happiness. Sakura didn't know if he was saying it to impress their guests or to please her mother. Either way, she couldn't find truth in his words.

"We moved into the mansion and I soon met the other wives and my new stepbrothers. They treated me alright, but I became very close with Shu and eventually Reiji. The triplets and Subaru didn't pay much attention to me. I danced to Shu's music and I listen to Reiji as he read me fairytales. It made me realize that I loved having siblings, until one day I fell and scrapped my leg. Drawing a little bit of blood. That was the day I realized what my new family truly were, vampires. And my mother wasn't just a my new father's wife, she was his blood bank. I knew he loved her and she loved him, but he caused her to much pain at the same time.

I remember just seeing her look weaker and weaker. Her tan skin soon appeared pale and she became so weak, that she was in bed rest. It was a cold winter day, when she passed away in her sleep. My father tried to pass it off as illness, but I knew better. I knew that his lust for my mother's blood, is what ended her life. I am strongly convinced that he was also the one who murdered my father, just to get closer to my mother."

Yui felt tears on her eyes. Her heart went out to Sakura. Yui never had a mother figure, unless you counted the nuns who helped raise her. She felt sorry for Sakura, having lost both her parents in such a young age. And leave her alone in a household filled with vampires.

"But wait, when did you turn into a vampire yourself?"

Sakura chuckled. "You're just full of questions aren't you?" Yui blushed. "I was only ten and the man who took my mother's life, ended up becoming my savior."

"How is that?"

"It's simple really. I got sick and father had to make a choice. Save me or let me perish."

(Flashback)

Karlheinz stood outside of his stepdaughters room, along with his two wives, Beatrix and Cordelia. Both women didn't know why they were even involved with this situation, but

Karlheinz needed their support. He also needed the comfort of a mother for Sakura.

What felt like centuries for him, the doctor finally came out of her room.

"How is she doing?" He immediately asked.

The doctor shook his head. "She has a high fever and a terrible cough." He informed the three vampires. "She has the body of a human and her cells aren't strong enough to fight the illness. Her only chances in life is to turn her into a vampire."

Beatrix gasped. "Isn't there any other way?" Although, she is fond of the child, Beatrix didn't think that Sakura would be suitable as a vampire. She was to fragile.

Cordelia didn't really care for Sakura though. She saw her as a waste of space in their mansion and she hated how Karlheinz gave her more attention.

"I need to check on Ayato." Cordelia excuses herself, before Karlheinz can even stop her.

"Heartless women." Karlheinz muttered under his breath. "Well, doctor?"

"I'm afraid that if you refuse to give her another chance in life, she will be dead by morning. I'm sorry."

Karlheinz looked away from the doctor, his fists clenching. "Very well, doctor. My butler will show you the way out."

The old man excuses himself and follows the butler. Beatrix patted her husbands back gently, feeling the pain in his heart.

"I know this is hard for you, Karl." She says. "But maybe it's for the best if she passed away peacefully."

"Sakura-chan is dying?" Both adults turn around and see the two oldest children in front of them.

Both Shu and Reiji were dressed in their nightgown. Their eyes red.

Karlheinz shook his head. "No, she is not! She will continue to live." He declared and walked inside the room.

Beatrix kneed down in front of her children. "Go to bed, my sons. Sakura is just tired."

"But mother-"

"Do as I say." Beatrix ordered and both boys leave to their rooms. However, they disobeyed their mother and watch as she walks inside Sakura's room.

Karlheinz watched in silence as Sakura coughed and coughed uncontrollably. Her skin was pale and cold already, her breathing beginning to slow down by the minute.

"Oh my little one." Karlheinz whispered, brushing Sakura's red hair back. "How much it pains me to see you this way. So weak and more fragile."

Sakura opened her eyes, looking over at her stepfather. "Daddy...I'm scared."

Karlheinz would've grinned at the sound of her calling him daddy, but he shushed her instead.

"Don't be scared, my daughter." His fangs became visible to her. "It will be all over soon." He says and pierced his fangs in her neck.

Sakura screamed in agony, trying to escape her father's grasp. It only increased the pain more. Beatrix couldn't handle the sound of her screams and neither did the two boys outside. Reiji walked away, not wanting to hear it any more longer. Shu stayed behind though, covering his ears and waited, until the screaming went away.

(End of Flashback)

Yui was stunned. For a man who sounded shallow and careless of his sons, ended up saving Sakura.

There was more to Sakura's story. She had sins more than tragedies in her story. But maybe those would be for another day.

Sakura looked at her watch, noticing the time. "We should really be going. It'll be dinner time soon and I don't want Reiji to sent the butler after me. Never again!"

Yui knew their was an interesting story behind that, but didn't ask. Sakura had told her enough already.

However, Sakura had her own fair share of questions for Yui.

"Yui, did Ayato bite you?" She asked in a low whisper, not wanting anyone to hear them.

Yui automatically touched her neck, where Ayato's fangs were just yesterday.

"Y-yes...twice. At school and at your mansions pool."

No wonder she was soaking wet. Sakura thought. Ayato probably pushed her into the pool. That jackass.

"And how did it feel?"

"To be honest? I don't know how I feel." Yui softly cried. "But I do know, that it won't be the last time."


Back at the mansion, Reiji was ordering the cook around, as he prepared for their monthly dinner. It was nearly midnight and the girls should've been back by now. He wasn't worried, he trusted Sakura enough to know she can handle herself. Sometimes.

"Do you wish for me to prepare the dessert as well, Master Reiji?" The cook asked.

Reiji sighed. "Might as well, since dinner will be starting soon. Excuse me."

The vampire left the kitchen and went to tell his brothers that dinner would be ready soon. The triplets were all in the same living room. Laito was playing pool with Ayato, and Kanato was sitting in the couch with Teddy.

Laito notices his brother walking in and grinned madly. "Look what the cat dragged in." He teases, ignoring Reiji's glare.

"I just wanted to tell you that dinner will be starting soon." He informed his brothers. "So finish your game, wash up, and go to the main dining hall."

"Whatever you say, four eyes." Says Ayato and proceed to continue the game.

Reiji left the living room and ran into Subaru in the progress. He told his youngest brother that dinner will be ready soon. Subaru was annoyed, but nodded his head in understand meant. Visiting his mother would just have to wait.

"May I be excused as soon as I finish dinner though?" He asks Reiji.

His brother immediately knew why and agreed northernness. Seeing no harm in Subaru visiting his mother.

Reiji wanted to tell a maid to get tell Shu that dinner was ready, but he needed to do it himself. For he had important matters to discuss with his brother.

It didn't take long to seek out Shu. Like always, his brother was in the ballroom. Playing the piano, in his own little world. Reiji was tempted to break that piano that brought joy to his brother, but went against it.

"Shu," Reiji spoke up loud and clearly, grabbing his brothers attention.

The blonde man removed one of his eye piece and stopped playing the piano.

"What do you want?" Shu asked, rather hastily.

"I came here to tell you, that dinner will be served soon." He tells him the first part. "I also came here to talk to you about, Sakura."

The mention of her name grabbed Shu's complete attention. "Is she alright?"

Reiji groaned, when he realized this. "You are completely devoted to her, aren't you?"

"To Sakura-chan?" Reiji nodded. "She is like my best friend, Reiji. You should know this by now."

"Oh I do, but Sakura is somehow convinced that you are her the one." The word came out of Reiji's mouth like poison. "I see the way you two look and act around each other and it has got to stop. It's sickening to even think about."

Shu knew where Reiji was getting at and wasn't going to give in. "You can't stop me from being with her, Reiji. She clearly wants me more than you."

Reiji laughed bitterly. "Why would she want a spineless fool as yourself?" He says. "Sakura has been through so much these past few years. The last thing she'll probably want is getting her heartbroken. Especially, by the person who she has fallen in love with. Think about it, brother. You don't want to again be the cause of her pain do you?"

Despite not really showing his feelings, Shu did felt a connection between him and Sakura. Was it love or just mutual friendship? He still couldn't say.

"I care about Sakura."

"Then, if what you say is true, leave her alone. Remember what she really was to us and also remember who caused her to fall ill in the first place."

"Bastard." Shu muttered under his breath. Reiji wasn't affected by this insult.

"To brighten up the mood, dinner will be served soon." With that being said, Reiji left.

Shu angrily grabbed his music sheets from the piano and threw them all over the floor. He was in the progress of writing a song for Sakura. Now he sees no point of doing so. His muse completely gone.

XX

Sakura and Yui arrived at the mansion, as soon dinner was beginning to be served. Their shopping bags were taken to their rooms immediately and they each greeted the boys. Yui shyly smiled at them and quickly went to take her seat.

Sakura sat between Shu and Subaru, while Yui sat next to Ayato. The food looks amazingly good, all made from the finest quality. Yui was given roast beef with mash potatoes, steamed vegetables, and a glass of cranberry juice. The rest of the Sakamaki siblings had a dish prepared to their personal liking.

It was strangely quiet, with only classical music playing in the background. At least it didn't make it anymore awkward, than it already was.

Sakura coughed, to get their attention. "I ran into Amaya at the mall."

Laito raises a brow. "Really? I thought she left after that scandal with Miko."

"Yeah, let's not talk about that."

Leave it to Laito to make things awkward again. Sakura thought to herself.

"Laito, it's not polite to talk about other people's problems, when you don't even know what truly happened." And there goes Reiji, who adds more to the fire. Sakura had the urge to slap him.

"What happened?" Yui! Shut up! Sakura wanted to scream at the human.

Laito grinned, noticing his sisters anger boiling. "Amaya had a little incident, where she caught giving second year student, Miko, a nice-"

"Okay! Laito, we get your point." Said Sakura, before he went any further.

"But all I was going to say was-"

"Both of you just shut up!" Subaru shouted. The two siblings looked at each other and continued eating their meal.

Yui looked at all of the siblings. They're all so different and Sakura isn't even related to them.

"You haven't eaten property, Bitch-chan." Yui turns her head and sees Laito standing behind her.

"If you want, I can feed you?"

Reiji sighed in annoyance. "Laito, it's bad manners to get up during the meal. Please, sit down."

Laito brushed Yui's hair back and say down between his twin brothers. Right as he sat down, Shu got up.

Sakura stared up at the eldest son. Having the urge to grab his hand.

"Shu-San?" She whispered.

Shu shook his head, not looking at her. "This is a pain." He stated, walking out of the dining hall.

Reiji groaned. "That deadbeat. Nothing good can come up from someone who was spoiled rotten. He doesn't even try to last through the monthly dinner!"

"Reiji-San..." Sakura whispered. "Is everything alright?"

"None of your business!" He shouted, making Sakura jump.

Sakura was in complete shock. Reiji has never dared to shout at her in front of their siblings. Especially, in front of a sacrificial bride.

Without a word, Sakura threw her napkin in her plate and rushed out the dining hall. Her sobs faintly being heard.

Kanato distracted himself by stabbing the banana snowballs with a fork. Yui watches as he continued to stabbed them to crumbs. Laughing manically.

"I swear, Sakura can get so teary eyed over everything." Reiji says, softly. "That would be all for today."

One by one, the rest of the Sakamaki siblings get up from the table and leave. Only Yui and Reiji stayed behind.

Yui didn't like being alone with Reiji and began to get up herself. Wanting to go comfort Sakura.

Reiji noticed this act and rolled his eyes. "Your table manners are deplorable." He tells the human girl. "If that keeps continuing, I'm going to have to pull you aside and teach you properly. Understood?"

Although quiet, Reiji terrified Yui.

In response, Yui nodded her head. "Yes, sir."


Yui went to her room as fast as she could. Hoping to avoid any of the Sakamaki siblings. Dinner was awkward enough and she's pretty sure her small mouth added a little bit of fuel, when she asked about Amaya.

Yui went inside her room, locking it. She nearly stumbled on the shopping bags that were on the floor. Yui quickly picked them up and put them by the desk, provided for her. She then goes to the nightstand, taking out the diary that belonged to her father.

She opened it, scanning through the pages that were still blank.

"How is this even possible?" She wondered, scanning through the book again. Yui looked at the picture of her and her father. For it was her only clue of her past.

Yui felt herself getting sad as she stared more at the picture. She missed her father like crazy. Part of her wanted to call, but if she did, he can be in possible of danger if she revealed to much of her situation.

She puts the picture back in the book and puts it inside the drawer.

"Hey, what you got there?" Yui jumped at the sound of Ayato's voice.

"How did you get in here?!" Yui questioned, knowing she locked the door.

Ayato waved her off, grinning from ear to ear. "I can appear wherever I want." He tilted his head. "How about you give me some of your blood?"

Yui knew that disobeying Ayato-kun would end badly, but she did so anyways.

"I was about to take a bath." It was an excuse, but the truth.

Ayato gets up from the chair, walking towards Yui and grabs her wrist.

"No, Ayato! I've been feeling faint lately."

"Then, I'll leave my mark in your body." He says, pulling down her shirt, to reveal her soft collarbone.

He licks his lips and kisses her collarbone long and hard. Yui let out a soft moan, that Ayato happened to hear.

"Stop making it sound like it feels good, Breastless." He says, continuing to suck her skin.

Yui struggled against Ayato's grip. "Ayato..."

"There! Now you are marked by Yours

Truly." He shoves her on the top. "Now, go shower and don't take long. I'm hungry."

Yui nodded and Ayato disappeared from her room. She sighed in relief.

She grabs her bathroom essentials and her nightgown. She locked the door, praying that no vampires dared disturb her doing her bath. Yui turned on the water, touching the water to make sure it was warm and not too cold.

As she waited for the tub to fill up, Yui looks at herself in the mirror. She lowers down her shirt, seeing two large hickeys that Ayato left behind.

Yui gently places her fingers on top of one, she moaned at the pain that was delivered by just one single touch. She was so focused on how she was going to cover these tomorrow, that she didn't even noticed that the water had stopped flowing. What did grab her attention, was the loud splash that came from the tub.

She turns around and sees the eldest son laying inside the tub.

"Shu-San?" She muttered, taking slow steps towards him.

Shu had his eyes closed, his music pouring in his ears like always.

"Can you keep it down?" He asked. "I'm trying to take a bath."

"But you're still dressed!"

Shu was well in fact still wearing his clothes and his jacket was flowing behind him.

"Okay then, undress me."

Yui cheeks turned red at the idea.

"I-I won't do such thing! Why would you even suggest that?"

"Well, I just assumed you wanted to see me naked. After all, you did come in here during my bath."

"What? I came in here to take a bath myself." She argued, getting irritated by the minute. How did Sakura even put up with these boys?

Shu opened his eyes, smirking. "Want to join me?"

Yui felt her cheeks burning. Shu only chuckled. "You're blushing. You know that right?"

The human girl stayed quiet. Staring at the vampire who had taken her bath time.

Shu shifted a little in the water. Closing his eyes again. "I feel so tired..."

Yui recalled Sakura telling her about the boys relationship with one another. Although she didn't say it out loud, Sakura hinted that they were all from different mothers.

"You know, Sakura hinted that you're all from different mothers. Is that true?"

In normal circumstances, Shu would've been annoyed to explain the whole family tree, but he decided to do so.

"It's true what Sakura-chan said. Me and Reiji are from the same mother. The triplets, Laito, Kanato, and Ayato are from a different mother."

"And Subaru?"

"He's from a different mother as well.

His mother is the man's third wife, while Sakura's mother is the fourth. Clearly, you know that Sakura is actually my stepsister."

Yui nodded her head. "Yeah...she did. Are you two...?"

"Together?" Shu shook his head. "No, we aren't. We're just really close as siblings."

Yet, I want more. Shu thought to himself.

"I really need my sleep." Shu began to sink down, but Yui grabbed him. Shu gasped at her touch.

"Shu-San!" She shouted, causing something in the vampires memory to resurface.

(Flashback)

The bright blue sky always appeared beautiful to Shu. He could stare endlessly at the clouds and the stars. Now, he just wanted to run away. Horrified that the once blue skies he loved so much, was being consumed by dark clouds.

A boy was present with Shu. Staring at the clouds as they got higher and higher. In the distance, they can flames roaring up and people screaming. Oh, how they screamed!

"My parents!" The boy shouted. "I have to get my parents!"

Shu grabbed his wrist before he ran. "No! It's to dangerous, Edgar. You'll die!"

Edgar always had a kick for adventure. Yet, this adventure could be his last.

"They're my parents, Shu." He gently removes Shu's hand from his wrist. "They're my only family."

Shu couldn't stop Edgar. When he had his mind set on something, he went out to get it done.

The rest of that day was fuzzy for Shu. All he remembered was coming home to an angry mother and to a very happy Reiji. Why? He didn't know, but truth would only push him to murder.

Since then, Shu took a vow to avoid humans at all cost. He still had yet to develop fangs and the idea of drinking blood disgusted him at that time.

That all changed when Sakura came into his life. She was still human at the time and Shu made sure to keep his distance. Yet, he found himself being pulled into her games and eventually, her heart.

Shu-San...Shu-San!

(End of flashback)

Shu snapped out of his thoughts, as Yui continued to call out his name.

"I need blood." Shu whispered and pulled Yui into the tub. She shrieked as she felt the water, that was now cold, on her skin.

She coughed a little, trying to cough out the water that went in her mouth. Shu held a tight grip on her neck knowing she couldn't escape him now. If she did, he might as well just snap her neck like a nut.

He brushes her hair back, chuckling at the bruises. "Ayato gave you these huh? He can be such a possessive freak."

As Shu got closer to Yui's neck, Yui whispered, "I thought you were different."

Shu stopped himself, looking at the human girl in her eyes. He shook his head, trying to erase the image of Sakura from his mind.

"Make no mistakes." He says. "I am a vampire and I have needs. And you can only fulfilled one need, by giving me your blood."

With his final word being spoken, Shu bear his fangs and stabbed them onto Yui's neck. Yui gasped, as she felt her blood getting drained.

As Shu drank, he noticed how hot and sweet her blood tasted. His own body drowning in ecstasy.

I'm sorry...Sakura-chan.


Sakura was practicing a dance routine, when she heard the argument coming from outside. The persons voice was so loud, Sakura can overhear it through the music. She quickly distinguish the voices of Ayato and Yui.

"I can't believe that bastard dared to lay a hand on you!" She heard Ayato shout. "You belong to know one but me!"

She could've sworn Yui was saying something, but her voice was to quiet for Sakura to hear. Sakura paused the music and quickly pats a dry towel on her face, to remove the sweat. She keeps her dance attire on and follows her brother and friend.

Ayato kept going on and on, about Yui being his and how no one should touch her. It only meant one thing to Sakura; someone else had bitten Yui.

Both walk into the playroom and now, Sakura was confused.

In the playroom, her brothers would hang out and either play pool or darts. Sometimes they'll even sit by the fire and read a book. But that was only Reiji's idea of fun.

Not wanting to look like she's in for the gossip, Sakura stood outside. She had perfect hearing (a vampire gift) and could understand the conversation. She wish she didn't though.

From what Ayato was saying, it was Shu who had bitten Yui. Sakura felt her heart crush.

"Let's watch the show, shall we?" Laito appeared by Sakura's side. Holding out his arm. Sakura didn't think much and took his hand instead. Both of them walking into the playroom.

Right as they walked in, Ayato said, "I declare you to a game of darts!"

As always, Shu was laying down on the couch, as Ayato and Yui stood by him.

Shu sighed. "To troubling."

Laito lets go of Sakura's hand, no one questioning their motive to be here. All of the Sakamaki siblings were here, except for Kanato and Subaru.

He clapped to get their attention. "Great idea!" He says, leaning his back on the pool table. "And the prize is Bitch-chan!"

This isn't good, Sakura thought.

Yui blinked. "Prize?"

"Enough of this!" Everyone, except Shu, looked over by the fireplace.

Reiji frowned at the vampires and human in front of his eyes. "What is all this commotion? I can basically hear you from my room."

"Well, it is one of our traits as vampires." Sakura pointed out.

Reiji glared at his stepsister. "Sakura!" He warned and she remained quiet.

"I could really care less about the girl." Shu shifted a little. "Now, can you all just leave me alone and let me sleep?"

"I knew you would say something of a sort." Said Reiji. "You're nothing but deadbeat, Shu. If you look up the word spineless, Shu's picture would be right next to it. How pathetic and to think you're going to be the next vampire King. I rather take a vampire hunters gun to the heart, than know a deadbeat is our ruler."

"Reiji-San," Sakura hissed. "You've said enough."

Reiji rolled his eyes. "Someone needed to tell him somehow."

"That doesn't mean you have to be an asshole about it!"

"Don't talk to me like that, Sakura-chan." Reiji narrowed his eyes. His hand nearly slapping Sakura's cheek.

It's one thing to insult him in such a despicable way, but it's another to insult him right in front of Sakura. The person whose opinion mattered to him.

He stood up from the couch, his fists clenching. "Ayato, I'll play your game."

The two brothers were give three pairs of darts. Shu was given the blue darts and Ayato the red ones. Ayato began first, keeping his focus on the largest numbers he can hit.

Ayato's total points was 75. Shu wasn't a fan of darts, but he did know what he was doing.

After throwing two darts, Shu was at forty. Secretly, Sakura wanted Ayato to win for she wouldn't let Shu have Yui. It angered her to even think that Shu wanted someone's else's blood than hers.

Shu threw his last dart and he hit the twenty again. He had won.

"Shit." Ayato muttered.

""Wow! Eighty ton!" Laito whistled.

Sakura disappeared before Shu can claim his prize. Reiji shook his head in disappoint, and walked passed Shu.

"I told you, you'll do nothing but hurt her." He whispered and left the room as well.

"Here's your prize! One bitch-chan coming right up." Laito pushed Yui towards Shu, causing her to slam her body against his back.

Shu didn't react to the crash, nor did he take her blood again. Instead, Shu turned around and says, "Mortals are nothing, but prey to me."

He cupped her chin, leaning towards her ear. "If you know what's good for you health, you'll stay away from me. Don't even dream, that I gave a damn about you."


And this is the longest chapter so far! I'm pretty proud how the events played out and I did change a few things, but nothing that would affect the storyline. I had fun writing this though! Next chapter is probably a little shorter, but its probably another one of my favorites because.. well we're just going to have to wait and see :)

Please either leave a review or follow this story! Until next time my lovelies ;)
