Chapter Four

Yui's Blood

I'm cleaning the game room while Laito, Kanato, Subaru, Shu, and even Reiji are around. Laito and Kanato are playing pool while Subaru is looking out the window. Reiji is making sure I do a good job in dusting these shelves and as for Shu; he's lying on the couch.

I'm nervous when Shu's looking over at me…

"You missed a spot," Reiji muttered.

"Where?" I asked.

"Here." He pointed.

"Ah!" I cleaned the spot where Reiji showed me and I went to get off the latter to go clean something else until…

"SHU!" Ayato came into the room, dragging Yui along.

"Watch your tone, Ayato!" Reiji glared at his half-brother.

Shu opened his eyes to see a pissed off Ayato. "What is it that you want," Shu yawned.

"Did you bite what belongs to yours truly?" Ayato clenched his teeth.

I looked over at Yui and saw a bite mark on her neck. Did Shu really bite her?

"So what if I did?" Shu snorted.

"She belongs to me!" Ayato snapped.

"She belongs to us all," Laito countered.

"No, she doesn't! You know what? Let's settle this with darts! Whoever wins can have Yui's blood!" Ayato grinned.

"I'll pass," Shu sighed.

"Of course he will. A lazy deadbeat like him couldn't even play a simple game of darts." Reiji chuckled darkly.

Shu slowly stood up from the couch, glaring at Reiji. "Fine, I'll play your game. Go first," Shu ordered Ayato.

Everyone gathered around besides Yui and me to watch Shu and Ayato play darts for Yui's blood. I gazed at her and she is shaking in fear. Now that I think about it, why is she here? She's not a vampire nor does she work as a maid so what's going on?

Ayato went first like Shu commanded and Ayato only got three darts in the middle and the other three were all over the place. Shu smirked before he finally took his turn and we all gasped when he got all six darts in the middle!

He got a perfect score.

Reiji's eyes widened and Ayato grunted while Shu slowly walked up to Yui. He then leaned in and bit her neck harshly. She cried out loud as he kept sucking her blood.

I felt my heart dropping. I know he is only sucking her blood but it feels as if he is hugging or kissing her in front of me. Am I jealous? I hardly know Shu and I feel envious because he's giving Yui attention. I thought he would only drink my blood. Geez, I sound ridiculous!

Shu finally lets go of her neck and walks out of the room as the rest of us watched him.

Why didn't he just drink my blood, to begin with?

*~*~*~*~*The Heir*~*~*~*~*

I felt my eyes watering but I refuse to let them fall down my face as I'm scrubbing the kitchen floor.

"My, my… Why are you upset, little bitch?" Laito is hovering over me.

"I'm not," I whispered.

"I told you he's only into the sacrificial bride!" Flay walked up to us and sighed.

"What is that?" I asked.

"Yui is just a mortal that came here at the right time. She is just a normal girl who has to give her body and soul to my brothers and me," Laito explained.

"Why?!" I freaked. Yui is a sweet girl but she has to give her own blood and body to these vampires?!

"Because the Sakamaki brothers always get these brides until they die. These mortals are only there to please them," Flay said sternly.

"You guys aren't going to kill her are you?" My eyes widened.

"No, we all like her especially Shu," Laito winked.

I felt my heart sinking as Flay and Laito laughed together. Why am I so jealous right now? This is silly. I don't even know Shu that well yet here I am, ready to break down and cry because he bit another girl!

*~*~*~*~*The Heir*~*~*~*~*

Since I'm done with all of my work for today, I decided to go in my room. I don't want to hear any more about Shu and the sacrificial bride or whatever…

When I stepped foot into my room, though, I saw Shu lying there on my bed with his music faintly playing from his earbuds.

"Please, go away," I whispered.

"Why?" He asked in amusement.

"Because I never want to see you again!" I raised my voice.

"I don't feel like moving."

I grunted at his answer. Great, he's not going to leave, what am I going to do?

"If you are not happy that I am here then go in my room," he suggested smoothly.

"I want to sleep in my own bed," I countered.

"I'm not going anywhere."

I give up!

I turned my back on Shu and left my room to go to his room. I didn't hesitate to lie down on his king-sized bed. I don't understand why Shu wouldn't want to sleep here; his bed is a lot more comfortable.

I got in the covers and I can immediately smell cologne off of Shu's pillow.

He smells good…

I shook my head to not think about him. I should be mad right now! I closed my eyes yet I started to hear classical music…

"Huh?" I opened my eyes and turned my head to see Shu lying there beside me.

"I thought you were going to stay in my room!" I groaned.

"I changed my mind," he simply said.

"Why?"

"I don't know…" Shu's voice trailed.

I went to leave to go back in my room but Shu grabbed my wrist before I even got off the bed.

"Stay," he ordered.

I didn't answer but he pulled me back down on his bed and crawled on top of me. He then pinned my wrist and his face is only inches apart from mine. Shu went to lean in until I turned my head to the side.

"Wouldn't you rather have Yui here?" I muttered.

"Why would I want her here?" He blinked in confusion.

"Well, you were all into her earlier."

"I have no interest in the sacrificial bride. The others can have her. Are you jealous?" He laughed in amusement.

"No!"

"Hm, maybe we can compromise."

"What are you talking about?" I snorted.

"I'll just suck your blood while my brothers have her, does that sound all right with you?" Shu smirked.

I felt my heart speeding up as he claimed my lips with his own. He immediately slid his tongue inside my mouth and I moaned out without meaning too. He's really a good kisser…

He pulled away from my lips after a little while and leaned into my neck. I thought he was going to bite me but he started sucking it instead.

I bit my lip as I felt my body burning with desire. I can't sleep with him! I hardly know him yet I'm losing control.

Shu then unexpectedly bit my neck causing me to gasp out loud. I stared at the ceiling while he is devouring my blood. I felt my body growing weak yet I can hear him say…

"Your blood is better than hers."
