You walked down the hallway quietly, trying to get past Shu's room without being seen by him. You haven't seen him since that dart game and you wanted to keep it that way. Luck wasn't on your side. You felt your arm get grabbed and next thing you knew, you were in his room. Shu held your arm, staring down at you. "What do you want, Shu?" you growled.

"Why have you been avoiding me?" he asked.

You glared at him. "Why? Why?" you ripped your arm out of his grip. "Here's why. On that night when you won that game of darts with Ayato, you said mortals were nothing but prey! I'm a mortal Shu! Was I just prey to you? Was that how it always was?" He blinked, staying silent. You ran your hands through your hair, turning away. "And to think I thought Reiji shouldn't have said all those things about you."

Shu sighed, pulling out his earphones. "(Y/n), I'm sorry, you're not prey to me, you know that."

"Do I, Shu?" you faced him. "Do I?" He said nothing, the only sound was the faint music coming from his forgotten earphones. You crossed your arms. "Ever since Yui came, everyone changed. Almost everyone knows I'm a mortal now, and then you..."

Shu hugged you gently. "I'm sorry (N/n), I wasn't thinking that night. Ayato was annoying me so I didn't really think."

You stayed still for a moment before hugging him. "That's not an excuse."

He kissed your head. "Please..."

You smiled, hugging him a little tighter. "Okay... I forgive you."

~Flashback~

You frowned as you walked around the garden, looking for Subaru. He was no where to be found. Ayato and Laito thought he was in one of his 'want to be alone' moment so they didn't bother to help you. You were worried though, he has been going missing since his mother was put in that cell after going mad. You let out a defeated sigh, sitting down on the stone path. The roses around you were a pretty white, making you think about Subaru even more.

"What are you doing here, (Y/n)?"

You looked behind you to see the short white haired child. His eyes were big, trying to hold back his tears still left in them. You noticed something in his hand. "What's that?" you asked, pointing at the object. He glanced down at it before showing it. It was a silver knife, a pretty one to. You took it from him, observing it. "Where did you get this?" you tilted your head.

He sniffed. "Um... my mom... it can kill vampires..."

"What?!" you exclaimed, looking back up at him. "Why would she...?"

Subaru fell to his knees, covering his face. "You don't need to know that!"

You jumped a little. Slowly, you set a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset."

He shuddered slightly but didn't look up. You rubbed his back, setting the knife down. He leaned into your touch, feeling comforted. You smiled, watching a few bats fly by.

~End Flashback~

You leaned against the wall, Subaru by your side. Almost all the other vampires were sleeping, feeling to tired to do anything. You watched the clouds cover the moon, yawning a little. Footsteps brought your attention back. You looked to your right to see Yui walking over. "Subaru? (Y/n)?"

Subaru uncrossed his arms, facing her. "If you stay here, you'll definitely die, so don't linger if you value your life."

You chuckled slightly at that but stayed silent. Yui came closer, bowing her head. "I don't have a choice."

Subaru stared forward. "Go right now."

You widened your eyes slightly and so did Yui. "What?"

"This may be your only chance."

All three of you looked out the window at the moon. Yui nodded and ran for her room. Subaru turned away, walking towards the window sill that he always sits on. You followed, sitting on the opposite end. "That was nice of you, you know," you murmured, gazing out the window. He shrugged, doing the same. You both sat in silence for awhile, watching the moon become full again.

"Subaru?"

You turned your head, seeing Yui walking toward you and him. He didn't look away from the moon. "Should of left when you had the chance," he said. "You wasted a rare opportunity."

"If you know anything about me or my father, if you know anything at all please tell me now," she said determinedly. "I was told I was sent here from the church as a sacrifice-"

"I don't know anything about your situation," he interrupted, looking down.

"Neither do I," you told her before she could ask.

She looked down, saddened by the outcome. Subaru looked at her and let out a small gasp. You raised an eyebrow while Yui widened her eyes at him. He got up and took out his knife, holding it out to her. Yui stared at it, confused. He grabbed her hand and set the knife in it. "This silver knife can be used to kill vampires," he told her, "with just a single stab to the heart."

Yui slowly looked up at him. "But why?"

He ignored her, walking past her. Your eyes softened as you realized why. He did the same to you when you both were a little younger than now. You sighed, standing up. "Head back to your room before Laito comes out," you gave her a small smile, walking after Subaru.

I will take away what you love, and everything you see.

Every world that isn't mine, I will plunge into darkness.

After all, I am all you need.

I'd love to break you!
