Shizuka stood outside the gates of the mansion, behind the gates she saw the tall, dark and vast mansion. She felt hesitant about coming here, she didn't want to imagine what they would do if they caught her here. Shizuka gently pushed the gate open, trying to make as little noise as she could. She looked up at the old house, ivy worked it's way up the building. A large fountain stood at the center of the front courtyard. She walked around the old house until she saw a smaller building behind it. Most likely this was the chapel that Yui was referring to in her note. She made sure to tread carefully, careful to make sure nobody was following her. Although she was sure that someone was watching her from a distance. She reached the chapel, and quietly knocked on the door. The door opened slightly, through the crack in the door Shizuka saw an eye framed by a fringe of blonde hair. The door opened wider, Yui reached out grabbing Shizuka's arm. Yui pulled her inside and then slammed the door shut behind her. "Did anyone see you come in?" Yui asked

"No" Shizuka answered, looking around the chapel. "Aren't they going to come in here?"

"No, they don't like to come in here." Yui told her

"So you said you were going to explain everything to me, why?" Shizuka asked suspiciously.

"I felt like not telling you would put you in danger" She explained, "I don't want that to happen, to anyone."

"So who or what are they?", a long pause followed this question. Yui knew the answer but couldn't bring herself to say it in front of anyone else.

"Vampires" she said breaking the silence, "you probably don't believe me anyway".

"Honestly, given what I saw yesterday I don't know what to believe." Shizuka said, "So how are you mixed up in all this?". Yui pushed her hair aside, revealing the fang marks on her neck. They were a clear but, unspoken answer. She was their prey, their food, and the thought was making Shizuka feel uneasy.

"So, they all drink your blood?" She tried to imagine how a small girl like Yui would have enough blood for six hungry vampires. Yui shook her head,

"No, only Ayato" she said, smiling a little. "The full moon night makes them feel...uneasy." Shizuka remembered that last night was a full moon, but she didn't know what that had to do with anything. "Their bloodlust is at it's highest during the full moon night". Shizuka propped herself against the chapel altar, trying to take all this in. Yui felt guilty for involving her in all this, she always thought it was best to keep it to herself. Considering that Shizuka saw them, there was really no denying that something was abnormal about them.

"Aren't vampires afraid of crucifixes, garlic and sunlight?" Shizuka asked, Yui laughed as if she was joking.

"I wondered the same thing myself" she said, "but no, it has no effect on them". Yui was clutching the rosary inside her pocket. "It this place only makes them feel uncomfortable, but it doesn't hurt them."

Suddenly, a voice groaned "we aren't as easy to kill as humans like yourself". They both looked up in surprise to find that Shuu had appeared, lying on the floor.

"I thought you said they didn't like this place" Shizuka snapped in surprise.

"We don't, but no one comes in here often so I find this place is usually quiet" he mumbled. "That is until someone comes in and starts talking. So, after all that do you still believe I'm any different from my brothers?". Yui looked at her in complete confusion, Shizuka stood her ground and didn't dare run away. Whether it was an act of bravery or fear she didn't know.

"Shuu, please don't tell anyone else she's here" Yui begged, trying to stand protectively between him and Shizuka.

"Too troublesome," he mumbled "that doesn't change the fact that she's a fool to come here". In an instant Shuu was at Shizuka's side and he grabbed her by the wrist. She froze feeling his breath on her arm as he held it up to his nose. His hands were cold, just like Raito's hands were when he grabbed her. "At least she's a fool with fine quality blood" he murmured. Before anyone could stop him, his fangs sank into her arm. Yui tried to stop him, but her pleas fell on deaf ears. Shizuka yelped at the pain as she felt the blood being drained from her arm. After a long painful moment her released her, only to pull her closer. Yui looked on in horror as Shuu bit down into her neck, Shizuka cried out trying to endure the pain. She felt his breath on her neck as he drank her blood, he savored the taste even more now. Now she was no different from a zebra getting eaten by a lion. "I told you to stay away didn't I?" He said, looking at her intently with his dark blue eyes. He leaned closer to whisper in her ear ,"but you came running towards me anyways.". As Shuu bit her neck again, she began to feel faint. Shuu drank more and more of her blood, until she began to feel faint.

"This is how I'm going to die" She thought, "I'm going to die at the hands of a creature that I thought only existed in stories." Shizuka felt Shuu release her, and set her down on the floor. Her vision was too blurry to make out anything she saw.

"See to it that the others don't find her here" , were the last words she heard before passing out.

When she opened her eyes again, everything seemed to be a blur. She heard the sound of voices talking and whispering to each other.

"Why did you even bring her here?"

"I had no choice, she saw what happened that day. You aren't going to tell Reiji are you?"

"I don't care enough to tell him, I just don't know what she sees in someone like Shuu.". Shizuka clenched her fist at the words, the other person seemed to have noticed this. "Oi! Breastless, she's woken up." At least she wasn't dead, well she hoped she wasn't dead anyways. Shizuka's vision came into focus and she looked around the room. She was lying on a bed with pink sheets and a pink canopy above her.

"Where am I?" Shizuka mumbled, looking up at the ceiling.

"Breastless' room" Shizuka recognized that voice and immediately sat up.

"What did you do? How did I get here? And what kind of guy gives that nickname to his girlfriend?" Shizuka yelled.

"She always asks so many questions," Ayato muttered to himself.

"You passed out on the floor, Ayato helped carry you here." Yui said, trying to calm her down.

"Also her name is too hard to remember anyways, 'breastless' just kinda stuck." Ayato added, answering her last question. Shizuka tried to get to her feet, stumbling as she tried. "Stubborn girl," Ayato remarked as she tried to reach the door. "Good luck getting out of here without anyone noticing. I doubt the others would let you leave this place in one piece."

"So I have to stay here for the rest of my life?" Shizuka asked, Ayato didn't answer her. He took the carton of cranberry juice on Yui's bedside table and handed it to her.

"No sense trying to run away, it won't take the others long to figure out there's another human living here." He told her, when leaving Shizuka to come to the realization that she was now their prey. To these monsters she was merely food, nothing less and certainly nothing more. Shizuka went into the bathroom to clean herself up, when she saw it in the mirror. The fang marks on her arm and on her neck, when she tried to touch them they hurt. Most people you break down and hope that this was all a bad dream. This felt nothing like a dream, it was far more frightening and excruciating than any dream she'd ever known.
