Chapter 7
I do not own any of the characters of Diabolik Lovers, they belong to Reject. I only own the original characters and the plot of this story.
For a moment, Reiji Sakamai thought that something to his ears had gone wrong when he heard Yui Komori tell him in the car that she invited four girls over to the Sakamaki manor. "What in the world gave you the idea that you are allowed to bring people over to the house?" Reiji rubbed his temples.
"I'm sorry, but I had no choice. I owe one the girls a lot and she suggested either going to a cafe or coming here, and I thought that treating them at 'home' was the proper thing." Yui explained.
Reiji gave a cold look at her, "You could have just offered her your homemade lunch. I would have reluctantly allowed you to use the kitchen."
"That's the thing!" cried Yui, "The first thing I thought of was that but when Marie explained that there will be four in total, she told me not to because I'd have too much to do and- " Yui was cut off by a surprised Reiji, "Marie? That's her name?"
Yui was a little confused by Reiji's reaction, "Yes, that's what she introduced herself as." Reiji had an intrigued look on his face as he murmured, "What a coincidence."
Then he looked at Shu, who to Yui's surprise as well, had his eyes opened.
Reiji looked back at Yui and said, "You are lucky. You are allowed to have your guest for a tea-party and a dinner."
Yui was happy and worried. "Really?" She was glad that she could invite them but the look on Reiji gave her the creeps. "What's wrong? I thought you would be happy." Reiji narrowed his eyes. "I am! I am!" Yui said quickly, "Thank you!"
Reiji pushed his glasses into place, "And as it'll be important guest, I'll personally look over the food and allow you to use the second best china and silverware."
'Okay, this is weird and it can't be good.' Yui thought to herself.
Laito had a sly smile on his face, "I can't wait to meet the little bitch's new friends."
Subaru looked annoyed, "Don' t bother my sleep, or I'll crush you and your stupid friends." Yui peeked a look at Kanato. Thankfully he was busy talking to Teddy.
Ayato…was still gone due to the mission.
'I hope he doesn't come back soon.' thought Yui.

Esme bolted up, "What? You interacted with Yui? How?" Azura didn't pay much attention but said, "She's the Marie Rosarium, Esme. She's our leader for God's sake, of course she's done it."
Marie smirked, "All I did was comfort her. Man, she still is obsessed with being kind to everyone. The problem is, I don't think it's just out of politeness." She glanced at Zane, "What do you think will happen tomorrow?" Zane closed her book and looked at Marie.
"It will depend on how the Sakamaki has viewed us. The incident at the cafeteria wasn't too bad in my opinion. You humoured the pervert, which is a good thing."
She then scratched her neck, "Who was that leech with the glasses again?"
"Reiji Sakamaki, the second eldest!" cried Esme, while she tossed silver daggers at the dartboard. "Aren't we all supposed to remember who's who by now?"
Zane shrugged, "You know me, despite being the youngest master alchemist of all time, I have a hard time with matching names with the faces."
Esme rolled her eyes.
"Anyways," Zane continued, "I'm not sure how that butler-like Reiji, or whatever his name was, thought of us." Marie drummed her fingers against the table.
Azura who was polishing her hair ornament casually nudges Marie with her elbows, "Aren't you in the same class with the eldest two? Did you do anything that caught there attention team leader?"
Esme face-palmed, "I can't believe I forgot that!" and she threw a silver fork at the dartboard again. It dissolved into the air when Esme waved her hand. "What have you got Marie?"
Marie shrugged, "I didn't interact with those two. I spent most my first day of school at the infirmary, thanks to Yui, and when I was in class I spent the entire time playing the piano for Ms. Sakura."
Esme, who was about to throw another fork stopped, "You played the piano?" A hopeful look came to her face, "It might have actually worked. This is great!"
Zane looked at her with a puzzled expression, "How would playing the piano help?"
Esme tossed the fork at the dart pad and sat down at the sofa.
"The second eldest, as we can all tell at first glance, is a perfectionist, and likes, no wait - is obsessed with being proper."
Azura scoffed, "That's why he's so hard to deal with. And a proper and perfectionist vampire will never want humans in their lair, Esme!"
Esme shook her head. "That vampire is a skilled pianist, and if Marie had played…."
Everyone looked at Marie. Zane smiled, "I see where you're getting to Esme."
Azura drew her rapier from its sheath, and inspected the blade, "So we have a pretty good chance."
"Get ready to party, girls," Marie said with a smile.
