A/N: Hey all! So this is it, the moment you all have been waiting for!
violacciocca: I'm glad you didn't! This chapter explains everything out, so you can stop wondering. Your reviews make my day.
TheSoulsDepth:Having Tsuna not be a cocky bitch was a goal of mine. Yes they are monsters and the anime/game/manga does its best to show that vampires are not the romantic sparklies that we have come to know them to be in the last few years. Even when I put romance in this story it will show some serious things about Tsuna and question whether or not it's healthy.
XxAshvampprincessxX: Thanks!
...
Ayato lavished in the disgusting blood, his thirst slowly becoming quenched as he drank the blood. The thick, warm liquid cascaded over his tongue and practically hypnotized him, keeping all of his attention. He hadn't noticed her grip the crucifix in hand, pale brown eyes narrowing, and bring it down on his shoulder. A sharp pain went through the vampire's system and he recoiled, ripping his fangs out of the girl. Hissing he crawled away from her, acid green eyes wide with furry as he stared at her, his chest heaving as he struggled to breathe through the pain.
Never had a meal actually attempted to kill them. Each and every single girl eventually gave into the vampires, their honey traps snapping them up and devouring, not even leaving a trace of the original girl who had entered their abode. However Tsuna did not look like the same girl who had entered the mansion either. She was thinner than she had been, there were circles under her eyes that were much more alert, and her face looked haggard as if she was ready to fall over. Such a look had once made Ayato giddy and feel victorious, but in Tsuna it didn't seem right anymore.
Over the last three weeks he had taken himself to annoying her and putting her life through hadn't done a very good job with using an emotionless mask that would slip off should she get frightened, but she had made a conscious effort to resist. But with this new development he actually held...respect for her. This weak, pathetic, small, female human had managed to use an opening to stab him with silver. He gave a dull laugh that brought the taste of blood to his lips as anger began to take place of the respect. He was not going to die by the likes of this wretch.
Not caring for his condition, Ayato leaped onto the staring girl, pushing her head onto the ground with a feral ground. All logic fault was slipping away as he dug his fangs into her neck again and at the same time pinned her hands above her head.
"I'll kill her, that bad-blooded bitch!"
Flexing his muscles he bit down deeper and prepared to move backwards, but stopped when he felt an iron grip on his hair. "Ayato, let her go."
Acid green eyes stared up at garnet ones. He scoffed and bit down deeper, eliciting a scream from the girl. He could feel her very life slowly beginning to ebb away, all he needed was a few more minutes and she would be corpse, then another girl could come and he would have a decent meal.
"Ayato, if you do not stop I will not hesitate in using the crucifix to finish the job." From his finger dangled the rosary, blood staining the silver metal and making it like an unholy relic. "You're already bleeding heavily, if I don't properly cleanse and patch your wound then you will die here."
Opening his mouth, he released the girl's neck and stood up, admiring his handiwork. She was breathing heavily on her back, blood caked almost every lick of her skin as did mud and leaves. Her hair was a mess, one of the twin tails free while the other threatened to come loose, and her eyes red and swollen from crying. Wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, Ayato walked away leaving Reiji and Tsuna alone as it began to rain again.
The girl stared up at the eldest Sakamaki with surprise on her face, though her body didn't unwind from the stiff position it was in. "Why did you help me?"
The vampire took a small box out of his coat pocket. It was barely the size of a cell phone and was a lovely black that had silver etching on it. Opening it up he took out a gold knife and knelt down next to the girl, sweeping it across her skin. "For this reason."
"Ahhh!"
...
Reiji stared at the small knife as it rested on a silver platter. Next to it was a scroll that had the results written on it in a perfectly neat yet hurried handwriting. The test he performed on the girl wasn't that difficult and hadn't taken very long, as soon as he was done he had a maid take her to her room to be bathed and tucked into bed. No, the test wasn't the least bit complicated, it was the damned results.
Looking up from the plate he glanced around at the vampires sitting at the table. He had called all of his brothers here in order to announce the news to them, even Ayato who had just needed to have a special blood bag, and to also keep them in line about provoking the girl. Now don't see this as kindness, Reiji didn't care about the girl's safety, but it would reflect badly on himself if he allowed his brothers to be killed by a human.
Clearing his throat, Reiji straightened up in his chair and readied his mind for the chaos that would ensue. "As you know the new sacrificial bride has rather low quality blood, a peculiar event in itself within this house."
"How would you know, you haven't even tried her." Laito muttered, but was sent a glare that he promptly ignored.
"As such I decided to run some tests on her to see what could be the cause of the drop in quality, what I found was...interesting to say the least." He picked up the scroll and opened it, the seal crumbling into a neat pile on the table. He scanned over the length explanation of what the results meant and went straight to the answer.
"She is a silver blood."
...
Tsuna stared down at the bath tub that was slowly filling up with hot water. The steam in the room had done little to stop the pain and stress she was under after her multiple assaults. She bit her lip, ignoring the throb that was prompted from the action. After Reiji had told Ayato off he had proceeded to slice up her skin with the knife and add a powder that made each one burn like a wasp's sting. What made it worse was having to see the smirk on his face as he flicked a dark blood clot off the knife, it had become sickening after the first few minutes. How could anyone enjoy hurting another living being so much like these people did? She was sure even the most evil men in history would be disgusted by these vampires.
"Is this enough water, Owari-sama?"
Tsuna blinked and glanced back to the maid. She was a small thing, a lolita really, and held a trembling look that really worried her. "Um, yeah."
The girl nodded and held out a hand. "I can help you into the tub if you like, excuse me for being so bold, but I don't think you can function on your own."
Taking the pale hand, Tsuna got off the toilet, her legs screaming in protest from the movement. "It's fine, you can just call me Tsuna."
"That would be rude of me." She said. "You are my mistress and I ought to remember that."
She had a point, the last thing that girl needed was to get comfy in here then slip up around the brothers. Hissing as the warm water lapped at her wounds she slowly sank into the bath, the water becoming a murky gray by the time she was sitting down. Mud, blood, and sweat mixed in with the lavender bubbles creating a disgusting combination that Tsuna would be happy to get out of.
"I can take care of the rest." She said to the maid, grabbing a small sponge that was next to the bronze faucet.
"Are you sure, Owari-sama?"
"Yeah." She flashed a small smile, her scab peeling off as she did. "I promise."
The maid stared at her for several moments before sighing and pulling down the black sleeves of her maid dress. "Fine, but please call me should you need anything, I'll be making up your bed."
"Alright."
The girl nodded before leaving the room, shutting the door behind her. When she was gone Tsuna sighed, the smile slipping off her lips and leaving a blank expression. Sinking into the warm water until it reached her lips, the girl stared off into space, her salty tears mixing with the murky bath water.
"God please..."
...
The vampires could only stare at the 'oldest' brother in surprise at his announcement. They had expected quite a few things really, sickness, bad dieting, even a deficiency of some chemical. But to think one of those had infiltrated the house, and with His permission, that was rather scandalous.
"So He decided just to give up and kill us," Laito said. "how typical of him."
Subaru rolled his eyes. "I don't think even He would go that far, even associating with them is dangerous."
"But she stabbed Ayato earlier." Kanato said, eating a slice of the pound cake Tsuna had made for them.
Acid green eyes narrowed. "That was only because Ore-sama-"
"Fucked up." Subaru offered, a smirk playing on his lips."
The older vampire pushed himself up from his chair, ignoring the bite in his shoulder. "Say that again Yuuki-onna."
Subaru's red orbs narrowed and he also stood up. "Say that again you fuck-"
"That's enough." Reiji said, not even looking up from the results. "There's nothing to really fear anyway."
Shu opened up one eye. "...You can't kill her."
"I understand this." He pushed up his glasses. "Silver Bloods were weapons even in death, not only did humans use them to trick vampires into drinking from them, but they would burn their bodies and use the ashes to mix with the silver knives to make them rather effective."
Laito put his cheek in his palm."We all remember our history lessons, but explain to us why we shouldn't just go upstairs and rip her apart."
"Because she's not full blooded." Silence eased over the table for a moment before Reiji continued. "Unless you all develop a placebo effect, none of us will die. You all should have realized that when you weren't dying when you drank her blood as well as the fact it doesn't taste sweet."
The vampires all looked at each other before Ayato stood up and pushed in his chair. "If that's all then I'm leaving."
Reiji glared at the boy, but he ignored it and walked out of the room. Slowly the rest of the vampires began to leave, when Reiji was the only one left he grabbed the results and teleported out of the room, the candles snuffing out as he did.
...
The next evening Tsuna was up and moving around. After some much needed sleep, pain pills, and snacks she felt better, well not really better, but she had bought into the lies that the drugs told her. Slipping on a pale green dress she went down to the kitchen to the kitchen to go find something to eat, just to see the triplets arguing with each other. Doing her best to be inconspicuous, she ducked under a table and began shimmiying away on the carpet, her cuts tingling thanks to the rough feeling of carpet rubbing against it. When she came to the end of the table she rolled out of the way and into the entry room of the kitchen.
Pushing herself up she went to the cake pan on the counter, just to find only a third of the cake left. "Really?!"
"And what is so wrong you must yell?"
Tsuna took several steps back and just stared blankly at Reiji, not even able to let out a scream. An image of him from the night before came to the forefront of her mind, her blood was flecked on his face and the knife was poised just over his lips. She shuddered from the image and directed her attention back to the cake.
"Nothing Reiji."
He wrinkled his nose in distaste. "The other may not care how you address them, but use the honorific san after my name."
She raised an eyebrow, but said nothing as she opened a drawer and took out a knife. Having not lived in Japan she didn't use the honorifics, with her cousins they chalked it up to her being a stupid American. "I'm sorry Reiji...san."
He didn't respond as he opened up a cabinet across from her and began taking out a set of white china. Deciding she needed a plate she went over and took one, dumping her large slice of cake on it. The vampire looked back at her with a dark expression but said nothing as she started to eat the food with her hands. As she savoured each bite of the crumbling cake, she didn't notice Kanato run past her, but she did notice when Laito whizzed by, pushing her onto the floor and causing the plate to shatter on the floor.
She let out a strangled cry of pain and frustration as her hands got glass embedded in them and her wounds from yesterday were jostled. It all hurt and she would have went over and made Laito get her and the glass up if she had the guts to do it. He would have laughed at her and walked away while saying something annoying, Laito was not gifted in speaking English, insults included.
Reaching out to pick up one of the bigger shards, she squealed as She was yanked up by one of her twin tails. The rage of pain that crawled through her scalp made tears spring to her eyes, but it wouldn't decrease when she was finally on her feet. Instead Reiji dragged her through the halls, his steps long and purposeful while her's barely caught up.
"H-hey, let go!" She yelped as he gave another sharp tug. "P-Please, Reiji-san!"
He opened up a door and pushed her inside, making her land straight on her butt. "Breaking my things and then bleeding on the floors, you truly are stupid."
Tsuna barely had time to react when she was pinned to the floor with the leering vampire over her. "Laito was the one who did it, not me!"
"Is that so."
She nodded. "I wouldn't have been so clumsy any other day."
He stared down at her with a hungry expression, his grip tighteneing on her wrists. "That may be the case, but I was offended that you said my name in such a familiar way." He bent down, his nose skimming her exposed neck. It was still red and raw from yesterday, if he bit her there he would probably kill her. With his free hand he slid down the strap to her dress, showing more of her dark skin. "Now to taste a Silver Blood."
"Huh-Ah!"
She winced when he bit into her shoulder. It was on the left side, Kanato bit on the right, so it wasn't as bad as it could be. Yet as Reiji drained her she could tell he was trying to make it as painful as possible, each time he sucked she could feel him jerk somewhat, making his fangs move around in her skin. It truly hurt and even when she looked up at the high vaulted ceiling, or to a neatly made up desk made of dark oak wood, she couldn't keep her mind off the pain...
Or a disgusting feeling in her stomach.
It was that feeling that she wanted him to bite her. She had it when Kanato had bit her and now she was having it with Reiji. It made her stomach churn in disgust and a sour taste coat her taste buds. Almost everything in her being wanted to jerk this guy's head off and run out of the room, but the part that wanted to be bitten held the most control. She laid there willingly, her breathing becoming heavy and warmth flooding her body. When he finally stopped sucking her blood she wriggled in almost discontent.
"It is as they said." Reiji took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth. "Your blood truly does taste disgusting."
"Everyone keeps saying that."
Reiji stood up properly and went to the desk. "Well it is to be expected, not only do five different vampires dislike your blood, but you're also a Silver Blood."
She wasn't even sure she wanted to know what that was. "Is that a disease?"
The vampire shrugged. "I suppose it depends on how you look at it, but I have no time to answer stupid questions, you are dismissed."
Tsuna struggled to her feet, every bone in her body screaming at the effort she was putting in to do so. When she made it to the door Reiji called out to her. "What made you stab Ayato with your rosary?"
She glanced back to the older boy, a conflicted look taking over her features. "Uh,well...I guess it was adrenaline."
He stared at her for several seconds, noticing the way she was fidgeting with her dress and staring off to the side. "You should be in better control of yourself then, it would be horrible if an accident happened to you."
She pushed open the door. "Okay, Reiji-san."
...
A/N: And thank the lord this season is over! Yes, I'm calling the arcs in this series a season.
So now that all of the brothers have bit her and Reiji knows what she is, what will Tsuna herself do with her fate. It's obvious she's becoming a masochist, but what about her blood, is that having an effect on her new tendencies? Not only that, what happens when she begins to question her parents during this whole event?
Cut! Commercial over, let's get this wrapped up! The next chapter will be out soon and we shall finally be getting along the road of this plot.
