Yui finished cutting the roses from the garden and put them together as a bouquet as Kanato told her to do. At least it was this over her blood being sucked, though she couldn't say she was lucky yet since the purple-haired brother told her to come with him to the graveyard. He was better than Laito, considering what happened the day before. She thought she was going to get raped!
Yui's eyes lowered, remembering what Laito said to her in the church. She didn't know if he could be telling the truth or not. Still, if it was true, she had to find out who it was that offered her and Minori as sacrifices to these brothers.
She snapped out of her thoughts as they finally made it at the graveyard. "Why are we here?"
Kanato kept walking forward to a grave. "Graves are so deeply dark and full of the smell of death. I think they're great, don't you? I love graves. They're so cold and quiet, and indifferent to terror." Kanato rambled on about. "My mother lies here."
"Your mother passed away?"
"I killed her. Would you believe that?" Kanato turned around and smiled at her. "Although it hardly matters. Right, Teddy? Please place those roses there."
"Um, sure."
Yui walked over to the triplets' mother's grave and set the roses down. She was very curious about why Kanato killed her, though he must have had a very good reason if the rest of brothers didn't try to kill him, or if they just didn't care. Though to Yui, it seemed there was more to it.
"Well, I'll be going now." Yui said as she hurriedly walk away, only to be stopped by Kanato.
"You are very self-serving. I especially invited you here, but you leave the second it displeases you. You have a lot of nerve!" Kanato yelled angrily as he grabbed the bouquet and started hitting his mother's grave.
"Stop it! You musn't!"
It wasn't right of him to do such a thing to his own mother.
Kanato stopped and dropped the bouquet on the ground. "Don't order me around, you lousy mortal!" He turned around and shouted at Yui.
"But this is your mother's grave, isn't it?"
"What could you possibly understand about me?! I'm so sick of you and that other brat thinking you know all about us, but you mortals don't!"
Yui looked down at her feet, at a loss for words. "I'm sorry."
Kanato frowned. "It's tiring when you apologize, so please don't!" He started walking towards her which caused Yui to walk back, away from him. She knew she had pissed him off, and knew that he would do something to hurt her for angering him. "Do you and your sister get a kick out of deceiving others?! Making them believe you're so very kind, huh?!"
Yui took a step back only to trip over a stone and fall backwards. This made Kanato laugh at her in amusement.
"That's incredible, Yui! You should see how pathetic you look!" Yui looked away from Kanato as he leaned forward. "Now crawl in the dirt some more, and cry like the pathetic girl you are. Then I may forgive you." Kanato kept on laughing manically.
"I'm... sorry."
"You are very sweet. That's enough."
Suddenly Kanato grabbed Yui and shoved her down to the ground, leaning above her. She was completely trapped and helpless underneath him.
"Kanato-kun?" Kanato smiled and brought his face towards Yui, baring his fangs at the poor human girl. Yui turned her head to the side. "Stop!" She didn't want to be bitten again, she was tired of it. Tired of being constantly bit by these brothers.
"I forget...if mortal women aren't given a kiss before being pleasured, do they become angry?"
Yui turned to look at Kanato in bewilderment. "What are you talking about, Kanato-kun?"
"You women are such a pain."
Yui's eyes widened as Kanato leaned down. "Stop!-" He pressed his lips on hers to silence her cry.
Kanato pulled away and went to her neck to bite her. Yui flinched as she felt fangs puncture her skin once again. The more she got bit by these guys, the more she despised the feeling, even though deep down she loved it.
Kanato pulled away and smiled. "Why do you smell like something familiar?" Kanato laughed. "Why is that? I wonder if your sister has this sweet familiar smell of yours, as well!" Kanato bit down on her neck harshly.
"N...No, that hurts! Kanato-kun..."
Kanato pulled away and smiled sadistically at the human girl below him. "Yes, I forgot." He brushed his hand through her hair only to cause Yui to shiver with more fear. "I should make it feel good, shouldn't I?"
Kanato trailed his finger down her neck, right to her shirt. Pulling the fabric above her right breast down, he leaned down to bite right above gasped out from the sudden contact and pain. "You're so delicious," Kanato said as he continued to drink that sweet blood of hers.
Yui whimpered, "No, Kanato-kun... Please, stop."
Kanato chuckled as he pulled away. "I won't let you go...this sweet blood of yours is only mine to take..."
Outside of the mansion, a man watched Yui walk slowly to the door. His eyes softened at her features, and then he looked up to the windows to see her twin sister, Minori, walking down the hallway.
"What are you doing here, Richter?"
"Won't you call me "uncle", Subaru?" Richter turned to look at his youngest nephew.
Subaru glared at him. "Shut up and get lost."
Suddenly a gust of wind swirled around Richter. Subaru covered his eyes. "The awakening will manifest without awaiting its time."
Subaru looked to see his uncle gone. He glanced over at Yui, who was going inside the mansion in a sluggish way, and then saw Minori looking out the window.
His red eyes narrowed. "The awakening will manifest? So there is more to these two than we originally thought..."
Minori would have screamed if Subaru hadn't covered her mouth with his hand. He appeared out of nowhere in front of her. What else was she going to do, besides scream at him like bloody murder. "Idiot girl! It's just me."
She slaps his hand away with a sour expression. "You nearly gave me a heart attack, you know!"
Subaru rolled his eyes and strolled past her. "I don't have time for this. If you're looking for your sister, she should be in her room."
She merely glares at him as he walk away from her. She just hates how all these brothers could appear as they pleased. Talk about no privacy.
She heads straight to Yui's room. It had been awhile since she last saw her. The last conversation they had was what Reiji told her yesterday.
Minori shiver as she remembered what that monster did. Out of all the brothers, Reiji seems to scare her the most. It's mostly due to his sadistic nature he has more than his brothers. The day before, he seem so determine to destroy her. Break her resolve. It's like he made a promise to her yesterday.
'As if I am going let that bastard break me!'
"Ah..." She stops in her tracks, and looks towards a door to hear moans coming from behind it. Not sexual ones. It sounded like someone was in pain.
Without thinking, she walks towards the door and opens it to see a small laboratory inside the room. Her pink eyes widened at Reiji, who is sleeping in the chair. Of all people, it has to be one. Though he looked like he was having a nightmare.
She pondered if she should leave him, but... the goodness of her heart made her go inside towards him. She didn't like the sounds he is making. 'I know I am going to regret it. I just know it.'
She glance down at Reiji's face, noticing he's not wearing his glasses. She admits he does look very handsome, but he was still a bastard in her eyes. He continues to moan in his sleep, and his expression look pain.
She has every right to hate these guys, but maybe they're only this way, because this was the only way they knew how to live; then again, it didn't give them the right to be bastards to the two girls.
She decided to go against her better judgment, and wake him up. She press her hands on his shoulder, and shakes him. "Reiji?"
He didn't awake from her movement. Instead he turns his head, and slowly rubs his cheek against her hand. He sigh softly as a peaceful expression appeared on his face. He looks... adorable. However, the look soon faded once he opened his eyes and immediately glared at her.
"What are you doing here?"
She pull her hand away quickly, before he could notice where it was. "S-sorry!"
"I can't believe I was actually woken up by your scent," He said harshly as he sits up in his seat fully.
She merely rolls her eyes, wanting to leave the room quickly, but she knew he'd punish her if she tried. Living there with the brothers for a while, she has come to know a thing or two about them.
"My bad, I guess I'll just leave you and won't bother you again-"
"It's far preferable to the nightmare I was having." Pushing his thoughts to the side, he looked up at her. "So, can I help you? Unless..." A small smirk appeared on his face, "you're here to finally obey me."
"Pft! As if! I only came here because I heard you moaning."
Reiji put on his glasses. "Please wait a moment. I will make tea," He gets up to grab one of the tea sets in the shelves. Leaving Minori to scoop around the room, seeing a lot of tea-cup sets. He must really like them.
Reiji sits down in his seat with a cup of tea in his hands. 'Where was mine?'
"I already informed you of your position. Honestly, did you believe that I would make tea for you? Please, stop being so conceited. It is very presumptuous." Reiji took a drink from his tea. "I will allow you to enjoy the aroma."
She rolled her eyes at him again. He is such a bastard. "So... this is your laboratory. Does anyone but you use it? Like Shu, or-"
"Just hearing that name makes my ears feel unclean." He snarled in reply.
She turn to look at him in bewilderment. The way he said that sounded as if he truly did hate Shu. "Why do you hate him so much? He is your older brother after all."
He gets up from his seat and walked over to the window. "That doesn't mean I have to like him."
She watches Reiji gaze out the window, lost in thought. She assumes that something in their past caused him to hate Shu. Even though it wasn't her place to ask, but she would have liked to know what happened.
"You don't need to tell me... You must have a good reason to hate him," Reiji turned to look at Minori with a slightly surprise expression. She scratches the side of her head and looking away from him, "not that I care. It's your family business, right?"
"You're an interesting human..."
"What?"
"I'll make an exception, and I will share my tea with you." He walks over and starts to make tea for her.
Minori sits down in one of the chairs, and stares at him in awe. This was surprisingly nice of him; he is like two different people. She prefers this side over the one from the day before.
Once the tear is made, he offer it to her.. "Be my guest."
She takes the cup out of his hands. "Thanks..." She's not really much of a tea drinker, but she don't want to be rude. Upon taking a sip of the drink, her eyes widen in shock, and the cup slipped through my fingers, dropping to the ground and shattering in pieces. Her body roar in pain as the awful taste linger longer in her mouth. 'Poison?!' "W-Why?.."
She could barely even utter the word as her body is now burning in a fiery pain. It hurts...
Reiji walks over to the book on his desk with impassive expression. "There is no need to worry. It will not endanger your life. However, I don't like how it has made you numb... I will have to make it all over again." 'He was experimenting on me!' Reiji grabs the bottom of her chin and forces her mouth to open. "Now drink this."
She coughed as the liquid rushed down her throat. The pain disappear instantly after that, but her body still feel kind of numb. She veered forward and collapsed onto the ground, gasping and coughing as she tries to catch her breath. She flinch as she feel a shard from the tea cup cut her hand.
"It is impolite to cough so openly. What is wrong with you? Things that have been broken must be cleaned up immediately."
'What is wrong with me?! Who the hell says that when you poison their tea!' "Why won't you do it-ow!" She grabs her hand and inspects the wound, seeing that it had drawn blood. Suddenly her wrist is grabbed by Reiji who peered down at it in annoyance.
"I have no interest in things with imperfections. However, your sweet blood is just tempting me." Reiji licked the blood from her cut, and she pulls away from him in reaction. There was no way she was going to let him bite her again.
"N-No!"
Reiji closed his eyes and got up, turning around with his back towards her . He's not mad? He removes the glove from his right hand where some of her blood has stained. "I have soiled myself with your blood."
"That's because-"
"I do not wish to hear your excuses. On your feet," he orders.
So she did. She didn't want to anger him further, and have go kill her before she could see Yui. 'I just don't want him to drink my-'
Her pink eyes widen in horror as Reiji leered at her from over his shoulder, like a lion about to pounce onto its zebra prey. She slowly backs away from him as she continues to stare at his red eyes that are glowing with lust for her blood. Her body began to shiver in fear of knowing what he is capable of doing to her.
Reiji drops his glove to the floor. Before she could react, his hand slams her body against the bookshelves hard. "Let me-"
He wrap his fingers around her neck, holding it tightly. "Who in the world will hear you scream?" He sneered as his grip tightened. "Mortals are nothing but containers of blood."
'Screw it, I am tired of being helpless'
She knees Reiji in the gut, which caused him to release his death hold on her and fall forward in pain. Seeing this as her chance, she rushes out of the room and started running down the hallway away from him. She don't know or care where she is going, so long as it was far away from him. It was gutsy of her, but she was tired of it. Tired of being food to those monsters and-
'Yui!'
She stops running, and look down the hallway. 'What if Reiji went after Yui as revenge for me running?... Damn it!' She hit the side of the wall, and trembled more. 'No... I would not let that happen.'
She starts walking down the hallway, back to Reiji's laboratory. She sees him leaning against the wall outside the room with a very irritated expression on his face. "I know you too well, girl. I knew you would come back, because I would have gone after your sister."
Her eyes glare at him. "I will do anything to protect her from you monsters..."
Reiji chuckled and started walking towards her. "Yes, of course, but..." he grabbed her neck (again), "it is impossible for you two to ever be safe from us." Reiji dragged her towards his room and toss her inside. He closed the door behind him, and started coming towards her. "Though you should realize that I won't go after your sister, as she does not interest me."
"What?-" Reiji backs her into the wall and turned her head to the side roughly, looking at her neck up and down with insatiable hunger.
"Despite your position as a worthless container, I wish to give you more pleasure than anyone." Reiji leans down and pressed his fangs into the smooth skin of her neck. She whimpered as he began drinking her blood and clenched his shirt, feeling her body tremble uncontrollably.
She push him away after finally having enough of him drinking her blood. "No!" Reiji slams his hand down near her face.
"Know your place, human! I will not tolerate disobedience!" Reiji snatched the wrist of her injured hand and squeezed it tightly as he licked the wound with a sadistic grin. "Fear me, more and more!"
"Stop it!" She slaps him across the face, which seemed to surprise him. He slowly turned his head from the side to look at her. She peeked up at him in terror; his eyes focused on her in anger and glowed with a rising lust.
"Shall I continue this with Yui-"
"No!"
"Then quit resisting." Her eyes widened as Reiji's smile widened as well. "Submit your everything to me, and I'll leave that wrench alone. Or shall I cut off her limbs? Make you watch her slowly die-"
"NO! I-..." Minori looks away from him and closes her eyes. There was no way she will let him do any of this to Yui. She is too innocent. She just couldn't. "I'll do anything you say... just leave my sister out of it."
Reiji chuckle. "My, you're a quick learner. You listen to what I say, and yet.." He leans down and run his tongue along the side of her neck where he pierced it and whisper in low voice, "you still refuse to accept your position and continue to keep finding a way to escape. You can never escape from me... little Piglet."
She closed her eyes tightly, waiting for Reiji to bite her neck.
"Reiji, let her go... Otherwise you're going to kill her with that bloodlust of yours." Reiji pulls away from Minori. Both of them glance up to see Shu. He lazily looked at them in annoyance. He rubs the side of his head, ruffling his honey blond hair. "I can smell her blood all the way to my room. It's very annoying..."
Reiji's eyes narrowed at Shu, practically radiating hatred and disgust. He was going to say something until Laito appeared behind Shu.
"Whoa, so Transvestite really does have the same sweet blood as Little Bitch!" Laito cheerfully said. 'Wait... Laito bit Yui!' Laito smirked and winked at her as if he read Minori's mind. "Don't worry, I'll bite you soon enough."
"Leave me be, unless you're planning on stopping me," Reiji threatened sharply. Suddenly, Subaru walked around Shu and stood by the wall.
"We're here to talk to you and the rest of the household," He walks towards Reiji and pulls Minori out from underneath him. "It concerns her and that other woman. Though it's best if we discuss in private."
Reiji sighed, looking away from his brothers, then back at them. "... Very well, gather everyone in the dining room."
Laito and Shu walked out and Subaru, gripping her arm, followed them with her in tow, leaving Reiji's room. Minori looks back at Reiji who is staring at her with a sadist expression on his face. "Once the meeting is over, we'll continue where we left off." He promise her.
She turn her gaze away from him; Subaru didn't even see the smile on his brother's face.
'Possessive...and ridiculously sadistic...why are all the brothers like this? I just can't help but wonder why...'
