Disclaimer: I do not own DL.


The moon was shining its luminous to the resident of earth. The people who could be cruel or merciful, rash or kind, rude or polite, lovable or hateful. When it came to showering its light, moon never judged anyone by their age, gender, class, race, their status as human or non-human; vampire, or lycans or any other creature. Anyone who came under its shelter, it equally catered its blessing on them without any bias. It was a creature of justice.

However, when it came to purebloods, moon loved them and adored them and became biased or favorable. For the moon, they were the creature of night and it loved night and they were pure without the mixing of any lowlife mortal or immortal's blood. So, moon loved them and when it loved someone, it showered its myriad of blessing on them. That was the reason, whenever moon had shown its full glory on the dark sky, it gave a large part of its glory to pureblood.

The large gash on his back was long healed and he was feeling energetic once again. He took Yui in his arm, she was still sleeping but stirred a little bit because of his touch.

Though, doctor recommended them to stay for one day there but he was completely healed and his activities with doctor's daughter took its toll on him.

The moon was in its full power, so as he. But everything came with price and the lust for blood and flesh was the price.

His red hoodies and white underneath's back was tattered but he did not care. Yui was alright, he didn't care about anything else.

He went outside doctor's home, his heightened sense felt Ai's muffled voice and struggle but he did not care.

For the only thing, he cared was in his arms.

Once he was under the large umbrella of silvery luminous of moon, he felt himself alive again. The night was long and he had plenty of time to reach at his destination. However, he didn't want to waste more time. He already used plenty of it.

"She is half marked" one of those lowlife creatures' voice echoed in his mind. He remembered, Yui declared that she belonged to him. Once, he took her innocent with her consent, he would mark her permanently. And once, it happened that, no one would able to snatch his property from him.

His speed was average, because he wanted Yui to take her rest fully. The ritual will be long enough as well as his lust for her. So, he wanted her to take a complete rest before it.

It took few minutes with his godlike speed to reach at the gate of Sakamaki mansion.

The mansion was silent, though lights were on.

He did not care about anyone at home. So, he directly went towards his room but stopped by the voice.

"Oh! I see, you've brought bitch-Chan!" It was indeed Laito.

He grunted in response.

"Don't you wanna share?" He looked at the sleeping creature in his arms.

"Don't you have a school to attend?" He asked fretfully.

"Ah, we were having a meal, when my sensitive nose trickle due to sweet smell of Bitch-Chan", he upped his nose in air and Ayato wanted punch his nose, but prevented it.

"She needs rest" he averted his arms from his brother.

"Ah ah," Laito chuckled darkly.

Ayato grunted in unappreciated manner.

"When do you start to have soft and caring side huh?" His brother's tone was sarcastic.

"She is mine" he grunted ruefully.

Laito chuckled once again.

"You are really a possessive freak Oni-sama" Ayato knew, whenever his brother used honorific for him, it meant he was thinking something malicious for him. Though, that time, he only poked his shoulder lightly then waved his hand.

"I'll see her after school," he vanished into dining room and Ayato knew, soon everyone would be there to accompany them and he did not want to do that.

He went towards his only treasured place, the place which witnessed his good and bad times. The hidden tears, he shed and the muffled sobs, which was stopped by his pillow and the nightmares, he bore. Everything which either hidden or exposed was not obscured from the safety of his room.

He put down his beloved on his bed, still sound asleep with the influence of sedition.

Her lovely blond hair was scattered on his dark colored pillow like the light hues of gold in the dark night. He adjusted himself beside her and combed her hairs with his slender fingers.

The golden hues were soft like silk threads. His wayward fingers slid down on her pale skin; her soft left cheek, her jawline, her chin, then her neck and reached on her collarbone. Something stirred inside of him.

She indeed was beautiful but he witnessed large share of beauty in his life. There was something in her which arose somersault inside of him.

Might be her innocence, which appealed like an angel to the demon. Forbidden fruit was always taste like heaven for the demon like him but she was not forbidden. She was made for him.

His wayward fingers once again started whispering to her skin; collarbone to her breastbone. He chuckled inwardly to think that she was flat. The Pancake...his Pancake.

But his chuckle became dark when he realized what was inside the ribcage of her.

A heart.

Demon's daughter's heart.

The treacherous wife's heart.

The abusive mother's heart.

His mother's heart.

The woman who was and still is the root of every problem's heart.

If she was not in their life, Laito was not like sadistic freak.

If she was not in their life, Kanato was not like psychopath and lost.

If she was not in their life, he was not like this; demoniac and cruel and cold and ruthless and...and loveless.

He chuckled darkly on the irony of his life. If that woman was not in their life, they did not exist. Simple as that but it was not.

He withdrew his fingers from her skin. He laid down completely beside her. His one hand was wrapped around her abdomen and another was on her shoulder. Her back was on him and he inhaled deeply her feminine fragrance. He placed his head on her shoulder, she once again moved slightly but her sleep was not broken.

He was not tired, the full moon was his energy but he did not want to enjoy this. For once in his life, he wanted nothing but just to lay there on his bed. In the safety of his room, beside his beloved.

He wanted to feel nothing just to smell her and feel her pressed on him. Moreover, the silence of his room without any worry of his brothers and those lowlife creatures and his mother and the throbbing little thing inside the chest of his beloved and the eagerness about marking. Once in his life, he wanted nothing but to feel little piece of heaven laying beside him.


It took only few days for life to come into track and for Yui to get her previous self again.

She was talking with his brothers like they were her family and started school too with him.

He also saw Ai there, who always glared at him at the same time blushed with embarrassment which Ayato was confirmed that because of teaching his lesson to her. Though she didn't come to him or Yui.

Everything was going on like it was before the kidnapping of his beloved, except that he didn't allow his brothers to touch what was his.

"She is my girlfriend. So be a good brother all of you and stay away from your brother's property". He once declared on the dining table.

Yui confirmed his claim.

Reiji narrowed his eyes. "She is half marked" he was the only one who commented.

Though, Kanato stared Yui's neck with his big eyes, which rivaled his favourite teddy bear but he did not comment either.

Laito chuckled in very Laito-like-way, Subaru grunted disapprovingly. And Shu...? Well, he was sleeping that time.

Though, his brothers did not try on Yui beside Laito, who was always watching her like a predator to prey.

Once, he was almost successful in his attempt.

He yanked one of his triplet from his girlfriend and hugged his beloved.

"Find yourself a girlfriend you bastard" his face color was as red as his hairs with rage.

Laito chuckled once again, which freaked out Yui.

"She tastes like sex" Laito moved his tongue on his lips, his act fanned the fire of jealousy inside of him.

"Bastard," he once again jumped on his full brother but Yui tugged his sleeves.

"Ayato-kun no...he is your brother" that was first time, he did not soften to see the tears in her eyes. On the contrary, he felt rage on her.

Why was she so soft and kind and forgivable and pathetic and weak and coward. That was the second time in his life, he wished she was a little bit like his mother. Not cruel, but not so much merciful either. Not treacherous, but not blindly loyal at least. Not heartless but not pathetic. She should be like her a little bit. Strong and stood for herself whenever the time came. That time, first time in his life, he felt fretful of protecting her.

He grasped her wrist in iron like grip that for once he thought he broke it.

That day, he dragged her towards his room which was theirs now.

He threw her on his bed, she was in her school uniform as well as him. They were just about to leave for school. He went to take a shower when that incident happened.

"I'll mark you now" his voice was stern and he decided, he waited for long enough.

Yui's eyes widened but she did not say anything.

It took few moments for him to take off any type of barrier between them.

When he took her delicious blood, when she declared that she belonged to him and when he was on her, about to take her innocent for the first time and all. He took the glance of her beautiful innocent face.

Her eyes were tightly shut and there was an expression of pain and forcefulness and disapproval like she was in great pain, like she was not ready for this.

"You're not ready for this. You don't want it," he declared matter of factly.

"No, Ayato-kun, it is not like..." Her face was red with shame, her arms spontaneously covered her chest.

She was avoiding eye contact with him, he noticed.

He clamped her face and made her look into his eyes.

"Why are you doing this?"

There was confusion in her eyes.

"Why are you so kind? Can't you just deny what you don't want?" his tone held loathing for her cowardly attitude which was shadowed by her kindness.

She opened her mouth to say something but did not find any word.

He held her shoulders, this time gently and asked. "Do you love me?"

Before she opened her mouth to answer him, he once again cut her.

"Answer me honestly" he warned her like that he would not take any crap from her.

She pushed him a little bit to take a breath fully and this time he led her do this by giving her space.

She wrapped his midnight blue sheet around her bare torso. She looked angelic to his demon heart but he controlled his lust once again.

"I don't know Ayato-kun what is love" she started.

He himself did not know either.

"But, what I feel towards you is unique" she dampened her lips. "I... I like you. You were the one who took my blood first and took my first kiss." Her face was red while confessing it.

Ayato was listening intently. It was first time, he gave her chance to tell him anything. It was first time, he was listening to her instead of taking her blood, kissing or lusting for her.

It was first time, he was treating her as a human being instead of a piece of meat.

"I feel about you like I never feel about anyone else in my life. It is intense and my heart clenches whenever I think you are hurt," she was looking at her hands idly.

"I just want to make you happy. Your happiness makes me happy. If this is love, then I love you Ayato-kun" there was flow of tears in her eyes, she looked at him this time and Ayato felt the vice like grip on his own heart.

How could he?

How could he hurt her like this?

First time in his life, he felt ashamed on himself.

He went to her and took her petite torso in his arms.

"So, you don't want it" it was more a statement than a question.

He felt she shook her head.

"Not now at least," she looked into his eyes, her small hand caressed his cheek. "I want to know you Ayato-kun," she downed her thick eyelashes. He looked at her interestingly.

"I want this relationship of ours more emotional than physical" he nodded and placed a chaste kiss on her head.

When, he looked the terrified look in her eye when he was about to take her virginity. He once again felt disgusting to think about her defenceless attitude. But after listening to her, he felt love and the strange thing which he never felt for anyone before in his whole life.

He felt respect for her. So, he respected her decision to make their bond on emotions first, then lead it towards physical terms.

Though, he took her blood here and there and they had many delicious kisses. But he always was cautious that she was comfortable in his arms.

So, everything was going straight and smooth and amazingly his brothers understood their relationship and did not pry.

Except that devil Laito but Ayato noticed that his brother was always attempted anything when he was sure Ayato would catch him. So, his attempt was nothing but teasing.

So, everything was going great and peaceful in his life. But, nothing was peaceful in the life of him as a son of Cordelia and Karlheinz. Soon, the peace would be shattered and he would see the new phase of his life.

Soon, he would taste the new type of pain of love. Because who said love is the bed of roses? Especially for the demonic creature like him? So, soon he would suffer through new test of his love-life.


I hope you like it. If you have little bit time, then must tell me through review that do you think Ayato's soft side and his care for Yui makes him OOC? I will really appreciate it and it will help me to develop his character in latter chapters.
