Pouring the blue liquid into the beaker, Reiji carefully read the instructions from the book in his hand. He was currently in his studies trying to create a new spell he was working on. One that would find that insolent human girl.
The mansion has been very quiet since she was taken, not that Reiji was complaining but it has been a hassle trying to keep his brothers at bay since they were so use to her blood, especially Ayato. Reiji himself knew her blood was of the finest quality and not having her around was an inconvenience for them. Their Father would be most displeased if he found out about her kidnapping.
As Reiji continued to mix the solutions together, a sudden ratchet smell hit his nose. It was disgusting; a mixture of blood and flesh. The vampire inwardly glared to himself, knowing who this scent belonged to.
Reiji immediately teleported downstairs to see a certain red haired vampire with a scowl on his face. His clothes was stained with blood.
"Again with the late night feeding,Ayato?" Reiji asked as he adjusted his glasses, glaring daggers at the vampire. "Must you always make such a mess. I don't appreciate you tracking human blood throughout the house." Every night Ayato has been going out and feeding to quench his desires.
Ayato rolled his green eyes. "Tch. Get off my back. I'm starving my ass off."
"You need to learn how to control yourself. Honestly is the change that hard for you to deal with." Reiji scolded. Ayato only snarled.
"That smell is putrid. I should of known it was coming from you." A low voice called out. Ayato looked to see Kanato suddenly standing in front of him with a deathly glare. "And you're tracking it all throughout the house. This is unforgivable!"
"Yes, Ayato that scent is most unpleasant. Don't tell me that you lost control on another human girl. You miss bitch chan that much?" Ayato turned around to see Laito leaning on a nearby wall. His mocking tone irritated him as well as that Cheshire smile he wore.
"Shut up, the both of you and mind your damn business." Ayato snapped.
"My, my someone's a little grumpy." Laito laughed.
"Go to hell!"
"What a pain." A yawn was heard over on the couch. Shu was laying down but he was woken up by his troublesome brothers. "I was having a nice nap until you all came in here with your noise."
"Hmp, no one told you to sleep out here. You should be in your room where you belong." Reiji glared at his brother.
"I could sleep wherever I want." Shu replied not even looking at Reiji.
Reiji only scoffed. "Dead beat." He said under his breath but purposely loud enough for Shu to hear.
"You want to repeat that a little louder, Reiji?" Shu asked in a dangerous tone.
"Oh enough already!" A voice called out. Subaru appeared in front of all of his brothers with a pissed off expression. "I'm sick of all the noise and the smell of that human blood ." His glare than focused on Ayato. "You're not the only fucking person that lives here. Stop coming in here smelling like that."
"Heh, if you don't like it here why don't you just leave. Ore sama won't be confined of my actions just for the likes of you."
"What!" Subaru yelled bawling up his fist as he stepped to him.
"You heard me." Ayato sneered with daring eyes. A smirk plastered on his face as he watched his brother's face twist with anger.
The white haired vampire began to march toward him ready to attack. "You son of a-"
"Enough." Reiji spoke up, causing everyone to look at him. "This fighting is ridiculous." It truly was. All this irritation because of one human girl was baffling to him.
Reiji turned to Ayato. "You went out hunting, did you find any clue of where she might be?"
Ayato arched an eyebrow. "If I did, do you really think I'd be here right now."
Reiji shook his head at his brother's uselessness. "No matter. I've created a spell that might find her."
"Heh, I don't care what you do either way." Subaru said stuffing his hands in his pockets as he turned to leave.
"Aw, Subaru kun it's okay for you to admit that you miss bitch chan." Laito teased, wanting to get a reaction out of his brother.
Subaru whipped around. "As if!" He yelled furiously. "That girl is nothing but trouble. Always getting captured. It pisses me off." Subaru grunted under his breath, his gaze turning to the floor. His ruby eyes holding a bit of annoyance but also other feelings that were contradictory to what he said, something that Laito was well aware of.
"It's a shame honestly." Laito shrugged shaking his head. "Whoever took her is enjoying her blood and feasting on her as we speak. Oh, I could only imagine the delicious pain she must be in~" A moan escaped the vampire's lips as a light blush appeared on his face. The pain on Yui's face was always such a turn on for him.
Ayato grunted to himself. Glaring at the floor with such immense hatred. A hatred for that girl that took what belonged to him.
Reiji pushed his glasses up his nose. "We will get her back eventually. With the spell I'm creating, it's only a matter of time."
The sakamaki brothers stood together in silent agreement in the living room unknowing to the eyes that were watching them from outside the mansion.
...
Yui collectively wrote notes in her notebook as her teacher lectured to the class however, she was in deep thought. She couldn't stop thinking about what Ren said.
"You being a human and being able to hold a vampire's heart in your body; it's not normal."
She knew her blood was special and it was baffling to her when she first heard she had the heart of a vampire in her but it never crossed her mind that she could be anything but human. It was crazy to her. But maybe it did explain why her body could hold Cordelia's heart. Yui's grip on her pencil tightened. The thought of such a thing was so frustrating and upsetting to her. Why was she put in this situation?
Soon class had ended and Yui gathered her things. As she walked in the hallway she felt someone hug her from behind, causing her to jump a bit. She looked behind her to see Maria.
"Yui chan!" Maria greeted hugging Yui tightly.
"Maria chan you startled me." Yui sighed as she tried to calm herself. She was so lost in thought she wasn't paying attention to her surroundings.
"Tehe, sorry." Maria giggled as she let go of Yui. "It just seemed like you needed a hug. You seemed so down today."
Yui blinked surprised."Eh, I do?" She didn't think any of the girls would notice her change in demeanor. She kept it to herself but then again Maria could read what people are think so of course she would find out.
Maria shook her head reading the girl's thoughts . "You don't have to be a mind reader to tell how sad you look Yui chan. You're not very good at hiding your emotions."
Yui looked away from Maria. "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Right then, Maria gently place her hand on Yui's cheek. "Never apologize for your feelings Yui chan." She said in a soft, loving voice. "You can tell me anything."
Yui's eyes widened at Maria's kind words. She was taken back by the kindness she showed her. Yui hesitantly opened her mouth to tell Maria about the confusion and fear that was taking over her but she quickly stopped and looked away from the vampire.
Maria gently took Yui's hand in her own. "Yui?"
Yui just smiled weakly trying to mask her feelings. "I'm really ok Maria chan. You don't have to worry." With that, Yui walked away from Maria. Maria sadly watched as Yui walked away. She couldn't help but feel bad for Yui. She was suffering so much inner pain and turmoil that she refused to really share with anyone. She could only take so much before she breaks.
...
Ruki was in his room reading when all of a sudden he saw his bat familiar at the window. He got up from his chair and opened the window to let the creature in.
"What did you find?" He asked. He had sent his familiar out a while ago to find any information on where Yui could be and who could have possibly taken her but it seems that it was a futile effort since his familiar didn't find anything. Ruki sighed in annoyance as he motioned for the bat to leave with a dismissive wave of his hand. Ruki closed the window back after the creature left.
The vampire cursed under his breath. Whoever took the livestock truly didn't want to be found. This annoyed him greatly. This girl seemed to keep slipping out of his hands. To think he agreed to work with the Sakamakis in hopes of keeping her safe from the Founders and she still ended up getting taken away. He should of never given her up to them.
Ruki gently placed his thumb against his dry lips, staring into the distance thinking about her. Her blood truly is addictive; the blood of Eve. He remembered the times his fangs seeped into that creamy, smooth skin. The blood flowing sweetly into his mouth as she struggled against his tight hold on her body. He was sure that he would lose himself as he drown in the delicious taste of her blood.
Pulling his hand away from his lips, Ruki clenched it into a fist in front of his face staring at it with contempt. Even though he had the blood to become Adam right in front of him, he still couldn't obtain the power. He was an impure vampire who couldn't become Adam. This is something that frustrates him greatly to no end.
He was taken out of his thoughts when he felt his brothers' presence downstairs. He had sent them out to see if they could pick up any trace of the girl around the town.
Ruki teleported downstairs in the living room to meet his brothers who obviously looked frustrated as well. "I'm guessing by the look on your faces that you didn't find her."
Kou sucked his teeth as he plotted himself onto the couch. "Nope, not one trace of M neko chan."
"Ruki...did you...find Eve?" Azusa asked and Ruki just shook his head.
"Dammit! Where the hell could she had been taken to." Yuma fumed, taking a seat next to Kou. "Ruki are you sure she wasn't taken to the demon world by the Founders?"
"I sent my familiar into the demon world to see if it could find any trace of her but nothing was picked up. If she was in fact taken by the Founders, they would have taken her back to their home in the demon world and the familiar would've been able to pick up her scent."
"So what? Some random vampire took her?" Kou asked.
"There was this white haired girl at school that was getting awfully close to Yui." Ruki answered.
Yuma eyes widened in realization. "Oh yeah, I noticed that too. It was like she was glued to the sow's hip."
"And when Eve disappeared...so did she."
Kou looked at all of them confused. "Wait wait, so you're telling me this mystery girl took her. Why the hell would she want M neko chan for anyway?"
"I'm positive that she has something to do with Yui's disappearance. When she went missing I couldn't even find any of her files at the school which means she probably took those as well maybe to try enroll Yui into a different school. However, I'm still not clear on the motive." Ruki couldn't deny that there seemed to be something off about that girl.
Yuma stood up. "So we just have to look for the school she is going to."
Kou crosses his arms leaning back on the couch. "That's easier said then done. There's a bunch of schools in town and whose to say they didn't take her to another country or something."
Ruki sighed. That could be a possibility but they still had to try something. "Well we'll just have to try our hand at searching for her here. There are a lot of schools in different areas of the city but only some of them offer night school. We will start at those first."
Azusa nodded. He was starting to gain more hope now. "We should...get started now."
Kou groaned. "We literally just got back."
"Azusa's right. We need to find her quickly." Ruki walked over to the glass window in the living room, staring out. Even though he couldn't become Adam at first, he still believed that he or his brothers could carry out Karlheinz's plan. He refused to make a waste of the second chance at life Karlheinz has given him.
He would become Adam by any means necessary.
...
School had finally ended and Yui and the girls headed back to the mansion. Yui was glad that she could just go back to her room and maybe get some sleep to get her mind off things for a bit. As soon as she got to the mansion, she headed up to her room . Yui slipped off her shoes and uniform jacket. She started to slowly unbutton her shirt when all of a sudden, she was hit by an excruciating pain in her head. Yui gripped her head, it felt like someone was drilling into her brain.
"Ah!" Yui collapsed to the floor in pain holding her head as her brain began pounding against her skull.
Suddenly she saw a vision the huge tree full of apples in a white voided space but then that black figure that she kept seeing in her dreams appeared right in front of her.
"Yui! Hey what's wrong?" Yui snapped out of her vision to see Betty knelt down in front of her with a worry all over her face. The pain in her head had immediately stopped out of nowhere.
"Betty san?" Yui said weakly looking up at the vampire.
"Yui are you okay, what happened?" Betty asked as she helped the smaller girl up, slowly leading her to the bed.
"I don't know I was just overcome by a terrible migraine." Yui explained as Betty placed her on the bed. The fact that the migraine just left as quickly as it came baffled Yui. There had to be something wrong with her.
"Hold on let me get you some water." Betty quickly left Yui and was back in a flash with a glass of water in her hand. "Here you go." She passed the water over to Yui.
"Thank you." Yui took the glass from Betty, taking a sip of the refreshing, cold water.
"Does your head still hurt? Betty asked, taking a seat next to Yui on the bed.
Yui slightly shook her head. "No, not any more." She didn't even want to tell Betty about the bizarre vision she had. She didn't really have time to process it herself. She didn't know what to make of it. It really just felt like her brain was going haywire.
Betty smiled a little, her worry fading. "That's good to hear. I mean, I came in here to check on you because Maria said you seemed a little down at school. I walked in and saw you on the floor and I started to panic."
Yui's eyes widened at the vampire sitting next to her. The concern Betty and Maria had shown for her really touched her. All of the sisters have been so kind to her. It was something that she wasn't use to at this point.
Yui sadly looked away from Betty, staring at the glass of water in her hands. "I didn't mean to make you worry about me. I just-" Yui bit her lip slightly, not knowing if she should say anything but she couldn't hold back any longer. "I just don't understand why I was put in this situation. I don't know even know if my father knows where I am and if he's looking for me. I just keep getting thrown back and forth like some chew toy and no one ever considers how I feel. I'm just sick of it!" Yui's voice came out in a slight shriek at the end of her rant. She gasped and quickly slapped her hand over her mouth, stunned at her own emotional confession. She's been keeping her emotions to herself for so long for her own survival and sanity that it had build up inside of her.
Betty watched as Yui slowly took her hand from her mouth looking down as if she was ashamed of being angry. The vampire noticed the girl started to shake a little. She honestly looked like a puppy that has been kicked multiple times.
"I'm sorry." Betty's voice came out softly but Yui heard it clear enough, causing her to look over at the vampire in confusion.
"What?"
Betty ran her hand through her white, curly locks, a sigh escaping her lips. "What you've been through...it's not fair for you not to have any answers. We took you without even explaining much of anything and I'm sorry about that." Yui was surprised at this remark that she didn't even know what to say. Betty was being so understanding.
Betty turned to face Yui, her sky blue eyes holding a serious look. "Have you ever heard the Sakamakis and Mukamis mention the names Adam and Eve."
Bells rung in Yui's brain when she heard these familiar names. "Yes actually, the Mukamis kept calling me Eve but I honestly have no idea what they're talking about." Yui placed the glass of water on the nightstand next to the bed and quickly turned to face Betty, desperately wanting to hear what she had to say.
Betty chuckled, raising her eyebrow. "Yui you're a church girl, you never heard of the story of Adam and Eve?"
Yui pouted a little at Betty's teasing. Of course she's heard of it before. "I learned about it in bible study when I was younger. Adam and Eve were the first humans created by God to help create the human race but I don't understand why they would use such a reference to me." Call her dense, but she had no idea why these vampires were quoting this reference from the Bible.
"It's exactly as it sounds Yui. That's why you're so important to them. You're their Eve."
Yui's eyes widened at what Betty was saying. "What?"
"The Sakamaki's father, Karlheinz wants to create a new race of vampires, one that thinks and act like humans but can use magic and has supernatural abilities. Betty rolled her eyes at this part. The man was crazy. He was basically trying to play God. "For that to happen, he needs a human to teach his sons about human emotions and mate with one of them. That human is you." Betty saw the terrified look on Yui's face. The vampire placed her hand on Yui's soft cheek, looking into her glassy pink eyes. "That's why we are here to protect you Yui. We're not gonna let that happen. That crazy bastard isn't going to have his way."
Betty retracted her hand from Yui's face when she turned away from her. Yui slowly got up from the queen sized bed, her blonde hair covering her eyes. Betty watched as the the girl walked over to the mirror on the opposite side of the room.
Yui stared at herself in the reflection in disbelief. She was all part of someone's plan. Was her whole existence just to become a tool for a new creation of vampires? "This can't be happening." Her voice came out in a small whisper as it slightly cracked.
Betty sat there staring at the shivering girl, her eyes wondering to the back of her neck that showed that soft, creamy skin slightly covered by blonde hair. "Sadly, this is happening."
Before Yui knew it, she was grabbed by the wrist and pulled in front of the vampire to meet her warm embrace.
"B-Betty san!" A slight blush was forming on the blonde's cheeks. She was so caught off guard by this sudden affection. However, the hug still felt so nice and loving.
"I will protect you from them. I swear it." Betty whisper softly in Yui's ear, sending shivers down her spine. Yui heart swelled at Betty's words. She felt so grateful that Betty would do so much for her.
Before Yui could open her mouth to thank her, The vampire cut her off. " Can I drink some of your blood?"
She went cold. Not, not this. "Eh? W-why?" .
"I just need to see something for myself, if you will let me." Yui hesitated to answer. Noticing this, Betty buried her face into the girl's neck, causing her to slightly jump. "I promise I won't hurt you." She mumbled against her skin.
Yui, feeling like she could trust Betty, gave a small nod of her head. This was the first time someone actually asked her permission for her blood. Someone actually cared about her feelings. Right then, she felt a sharp pain in the crook of her neck.
"Nnh!" Yui winced at the pain. Betty's fangs were in her neck. "Betty...ah!" The pain was familiar but at the same time different. She didn't know how to explain it. Those same slurping noises made their way to her ear.
Betty took her fangs out of the girls neck stunned at what she was tasting. This blood was delicious. Betty sucked her teeth. This wasn't good. Those other vampires can't get a hold of Yui's blood. If they did...
"Betty san what's wrong?" She was taken out of her thoughts by a meek voice. Betty took her face out of Yui's neck to meet her innocent eyes.
A smile formed on Betty's lips. She ran her hand through blonde hair causing Yui to turn red. "Your blood really is something else and so are you."
Yui didn't even have time to question Betty's words as the vampire went and seeped her fangs back into her neck.
"Ah...B-Betty san!" Yui clenched onto Betty's uniform jacket. She stood still as Betty drunk her blood. Even though it stung a little, she wasn't scared. Being held by Betty was a bit comforting. Yui held on to the vampire tighter. Even though she was put into such a situation, she didn't want to lose the hope that she's been holding onto for so long.
Yui slowly closed her eyes settling into the pain.
