Chapter Six

"It has been two decades now, the world is still the same, though it became insane and more crooked" Laito sat on his heels to lay a bunch of flowers on the ground "Too bad you already died" he placed a hand on the tombstone, tracing the engraved name "Please don't assume that I'm missing you 'cause I'm not, I'm only visiting you because I feel like it" he chuckled "I'm really tired" the vampire sighed "I never thought that my old man's job is this oppressive, and being a father can be this troublesome. Don't get me wrong I'm only tired, I'm not regretting anything"

Laito has been staring at her body who's lying in the bed impassively, blood dripping down from his mouth. He failed. She died. He couldn't think of anything else other than to blame himself for being too slow, for hesitating, and for doubting her feelings for him. He's pathetic for thinking that saving her is possible, being with her is possible, that he too deserves to be happy even though he knew that those delusions are only meant to be figments he still hoped. Because of his halfhearted love he lost everything, now he has nothing left to loose, nothing left to love, nothing left to dream of, nothing left to fight for.

"Where did I went wrong?" Laito asked as his brothers one by one appeared before him "What's the point of all of this?"

"Logic: to commence the awakening she needs to die, however, we were told not to kill her. I too don't understand his concepts and motives" Reiji answerd "Calm down"

"How can I cal-"

"Look" Ayato said interrupting his brother as he pointed Yui's body "She's not alive nor is she dead, you didn't failed nor did you win for obtaining her you need to follow the path that man once walked in"

"In other words, you'll have to handle much more complicated and troublesome things in the future. Now that I think of it, being you sucks more than being the head" Shu smirked "Congratulations"

Reiji glared at his elder brother "As if you've done anything as the head, you're in no place to complain deadbeat" he cleared his throat "And he's not taking over your job, he's going to take over that person's job"

"Father?" a strawberry blonde haired boy with a light shade of blue eyes came running towards him "Mother is coming let's hide, let's hide, come on!"

"You naughty little devil you're going to make your mother mad again" Laito poked his son's cheek "And who do you think she'll get mad at?"

After his brothers declared that he succeeded upon obtaining the bride, Laito slayed his father in order for him to ascend to the throne, Laito and Yui got married afterward. They settled in the castle for good and later on their first son was born, Lui. He inherited Laito's charm, however he has his mother's heart. His features are a total mix of his parents' mien. He has light blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair that is well trimmed, it frames his face perfectly, thanks to his mother who greatly detested the idea of letting her husband handle their son's hairstyle.

"Lui, I told you not to run" Yui reprimanded "This is a cemetery"

"I told him that too, but your son is just stubborn" Laito smirked "I guess it's in the blood"

"By the way mother, why are we here?"

"We're visiting our friend" Yui answered "Luis"

Leukemia is a very serious disease that up until now no cure has been discovered yet, sure we have chemotherapy, but it only controls the disease, it only extends your life, it does not save you. As for Luis' case he lived up until the fourth year since he was diagnosed. His death was sudden, but he left with a smile. He is a great person, the first mortal who ever called Laito a friend. Thanks to him the vampire never lost hope for he was the one who pushed him forward whenever he steps backward. Sadly, they never had the chance to spend more time.

"Then I'll say hi to him" the little boy said as he walked towards the grave "I can, right?"

Yui nodded. It feels like everything just happened yesterday, although in fact it has been two decades now. Since the competition for the throne ended the Sakamakis settled on. The apathetic Shu remained in the mansion, working (You know Shu, in truth he's just sleeping for the past two decades) for Laito. Reiji contributed his works to the family. Ayato and Kanato are working in the castle. As for Subaru nobody knows his whereabouts, though he writes them monthly informing that he's okay, they concluded that he has been travelling around the world. Everyone is living their lives freely, they couldn't ask for more, they're completely contented.

"Stop it Laito, your son is here and we're in public" Yui said as she tried to shove him away, he has been trailing small kisses down her jawline "I said stop it"

He pouted "It's time to make our princess" he nuzzled under her neck "Come on"

"I-idiot, we can't p-possibly do i-it here" she replied covering her flustered face who's blushing furiously "Not infront of your son, not in a cemetery"

"Then, let's go home" he purred, God, it's been years since the last time she heard that seductive tone of his "Let's send Lui to his Uncles so that you and I can be alone in bed tonight, how about that?"

"No"

"Oh come on, I've been working hard for the past three weeks I barely even touched you or even got a glimpse of you, I deserve a reward, don't I?"

Yui opened her mouth to protest, but then shut it. It's true that for the past few weeks he has been working non-stop, bombarded with a load of paperworks. After his ascension to the throne Laito was forced to mature and learn a lot of things in terms of management and entertaining all sorts of people. He has no choice since he's his people's king, and in the human world the CEO of their company.

"Mother, why are you flirting with father in broad daylight?" their son raised a brow at his mother teasingly "By the way I don't want a little sister, I want a little brother"

"You heard him, love" Laito smirked "We'll be making two tonight"

Yui blushed even more "Sh-shut up y-you idiot?!"

They went through a lot, but the outcome of the hardships they had to go through and the perseverance they needed to maintain is worth it. In the end the debonair, mischievous, sadist vampire learned love. Love can be heaven or hell, bitter or sweet, sadness or happiness, it can be the most terrifying or the most wonderful thing in the world. Perhaps its meaning differs by how people view it, sometimes they fear it for it has the power to hurt you, but never forget that the time will come where you'll meet a person who's worthy and capable of changing your own definition of love.
