Can someone please explain why this is my longest chapter yet? 9,173 words! Damn, before this my longest was only 5,446 and almost double my last chapter. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. I was inspired to do this one after reading Lioness2333's fanfic, go check it out :)
Never had I thought that living with six vampires, my sister, staying in a mansion, and going to school would be boring. Yet, here I am, dying of boredom. My life has been so chaotic since coming here, everyday something happening that seemed to make my world change.
Contrary of what life has been so for, the past two days have been uneventful. I go to school like always. After Monday, I make sure I pay extra attention each of my classes. After History, I go to a certain room for detention, this is where my day turns utterly lifeless and boring.
There are about four other students there. For the next fifty minutes, I sit in a chair and work. I would get a few assignments done before my mind would wander. I would think of Shuu and the music room. I imagine the song I would feel like playing. Today I actually started tabbing on my desk as if it would transform into a keyboard. I got a few strange looks, but no one spoke.
Once I get home I do the work I didn't finish during detention. After that, I read a book. None of the vampires has bitten me since Monday. Reiji said he wouldn't allow any of them to even take a drop of my blood until I have fully recovered. He refuses to stitch my wound, saying that it's my fault I have it in the first place.
That was my whole day yesterday and today. Bland and boring. It's probably going to be like this for the rest of the week.
I throw my book to the other side of my room and groan in frustration. I wish I could have gone to the music room. The thoughts of the room make me think of Shuu. My heart aches every time he enters my mind.
I haven't been able to speak to him in privacy, or at all in that matter, after I realized my feeling for the vampire. I don't even know if I'm going to tell him. It's pretty weird, falling for someone you met only two weeks ago. Well, I instantly fell for Natsume, but that's an entirely different story.
No, no, no. I can't think about this. This feeling is going to pass, it has to. If I'm going to feel like this any longer, I'm going to go crazy. I have to get rid of this emotion I never wanted to have again.
I roll over onto my stomach, big mistake. I cry out in pain when I stretch my right shoulder muscle to its limit. Not only that, but I implied a bit too much pressure to it during the roll. Under the bandage, I feel the wound open up again. I scream into my pillow, mostly out of frustration. This is so annoying. The boredom, the unwanted emotion toward the vampire, and pain. I want to crumble these feelings up, drown them in gasoline, and set the whole thing on fire.
My door open but I don't look up. I feel my bed sink in under someone's weight and a hand rubs my back. Only one person in the whole household would do such a kind and calming gesture.
"Yui, what am I going to do with my life?" I ask, face still buried in the pillow.
"I ask myself that question a lot," my sister replies. "After a while I just accepted what is happening in my life and live life in these conditions."
That's the thing, I already done this and I swore I would never let another person have control of my life. After staying in the same place for almost four years, I never wanted to have to follow anyone else's rules. I want to be in control of my own life but it seems like I never going to get the opportunity.
"How's your shoulder?"
"I opened it."
"Seriously? We need to change the bandage."
I grumble in my pillow.
"Come on, Hikari," my sister demands. I roll back over, more careful this time, and get off the bed. I make my way to the bathroom slowly, dragging my feet across the floor. I really don't want to see the wound, so of course the thought of Yui seeing it makes me even more upset.
I walk into the bathroom and see Yui by the counter retrieving the medical supplies from under the sink. I begin to remove my clothing, wincing in pain when I stretch the muscle.
"Let me help you," my sister says.
"No, no I got it," I protest. I manage to get the jacket, tie, and shirt off without her help. I notice I have to take off my bra to be able to remove the bandage.
"Yui, may you pass me the scissors?"
She passes me the cutting tool and goes back to fishing out the rest of the supplies. I turn around and unclip my bra. Even though it hurts, I lift my right arm so I can cut the cloth from under my armpit. I do so and hook my bra back together. "Do you even know how to do this?" I ask turning around and handing her back the scissors.
"I have some idea," she replies with a shrug, taking the tool and placing it on the counter. She begins to pull out the cut cloth pieces. I see some of the pieces completely soaked in my blood. Yui drops them onto the floor and stares at the wound once it's full uncovered. She bites her lip as she takes in the sight.
"You haven't seen it yet?" I ask.
She simply shakes her head. "Do you want to?"
"No, but is it really that bad?"
"Mm-hmm."
I let out a sigh. Of course, if it feels bad it's going to look worse. "Well, there is no reason to just stare at it. Let's rewrap it, 'kay!"
She opens a bottle of rubbing alcohol and soaked a cotton ball in the liquid. With a pair of tweezers, she dabs the cotton on my wound. I wince and bite my lips as the antibiotic comes in contact with my gash, making my nerves flare in pain.
"Sorry," my sister says.
"It's fine."
She nods and continues to clean the wound. I can only imagine what it looks like, right now I'm actually dreading looking in the mirror. I don't want to see the kind of pain Shuu can inflict on me, feeling it is already enough. This is only a small thing the vampire can to do me. No one wants to think about the harm someone they care about can bring.
But I need to get over these emotion. Maybe seeing the injury would make me mad, maybe enough for this undesirable feeling to begin to fade.
"Yui, I think I want to see it."
"You sure?"
I nod and get up. I stand in front of the mirror and gaze at my wound. Four medium size gashes run from the tip of my right shoulder to my collar bone. They are jagged and red. The top and bottom pairs almost connect, only a centimeter of skin divides them. I place my hand over them. I have had far worse gashes, but these seem to hurt the most. Shuu did this to me, he hurt me.
So why don't I feel anger and hatred towards him? I feel more hurt than I did before seeing it. I feel heat rush to my face, but I overcome my emotions before they can show.
"Hikari, are you okay?"
"Mmm, let's….let's just finish this already." I sit back on the toilet seat and my sister puts some kind for cream on it. She rubs it into the skin surrounding the gashes.
"Think it's going to need stitches?" she asks.
"Nah, they aren't that wide," I lie to my sister. If I told her that they do and Reiji won't stitch them up, she may go crazy. "They will close up soon enough. Now these, on the other hand," I place my hand on my stomach where my scars are, 'they needed stitches."
She frowns when I mention my injuries from the past. "Can...can I ask you a question about them?"
"Huh, my scars?"
She nods hesitantly.
"Sure."
"Did….did you get them all at once…. or did you... ur"
"...get them over time?" I finish. "Yeah, they were all over time. This one," I trace my finger over the one farthest to the right, "was the first one."
"I see." I can tell by her discomfort that she doesn't like the topic, so I stop there. I see her begin to unwind the bandage from the roll, so I stand up. She walks around me a few times with a frown.
"Hikari, you're probably not going to like this."
"What is it?" I ask, a bit on edge.
"The way Reiji wrapped it, well, you're going to need to take off your bra."
I blink at my sister. That vampire actually took off my clothes! Hikari, shut up. He had to tend to your injury, you should be grateful. Be happy Shuu didn't rip open your tit.(A/N: This line killed me every time I reread this chapter xD) Well, at least I was unconscious and didn't have to experience the awkwardness. Now I have to go through this with my sister.
I nod my head and unclip my bra once more. Yui looks down as I discard my underwear. I place my left arm over my exposed breast. Both mine and Yui's cheeks turn the slightest color of pink. Oh god, this is too embarrassing. I'm not used to being so naked around my sister, another woman. I know most females would feel the total opposite: weird around guys but fine around their own sex.
Yui begins to wrap the muslin around my body. She covers the wound and wraps the cloth right under my breast to keep it still. She makes a few layers and then stops. I move my arm just enough to make sure I can use it. She nods and cuts the bandage. She takes some kind of double-sided hook and attaches it to the end of the bandage and the area near it.
She turns around and begins to put the supplies away. I take the moment to put my clothes back on.
"Thanks so much, Yui," I say with a smile as I button my shirt back up.
"No problem. I rather me do it then one of the vampires."
"Same."
We walk out of the bathroom and into my room. I ease myself onto my bed and lay down. Yui stays standing.
"Are you mad at him?" she asks a bit out of the blue.
"Mad at who?"
"Shuu."
I suck my bottom lip under my teeth. I honestly didn't expect her to ask. "Surprisingly no. I'm… hurt."
"Well, yeah. That's a bit obvious."
"No, not that," I say looking at my shoulder. "I mean emotional. It hurts that he hurt me. Does that make sense?"
"Kind of." She sits on the chair next to my bed.
"I honestly wanted to see the scars so I can be mad at him. I want to be mad at him."
"You should, so why aren't you?"
"I… I can be honest with you, right?"
"Yeah, of course. We already said no lies, no secrets."
"Yeah. Yui." I take a deep breath to calm my shaking nerves. I want to tell her, but if feels so weird to say aloud. Come on Hikari, she's your sister. She would accept it and give you her honest opinion. "I think I fell for him," I say, rushing the words out of my mouth.
She looks at me blankly for what feels like an hour. "You like Shuu?" she echoes, which comes out like a question.
"A little, kind of, maybe..." I respond hesitantly, cringing a bit.
"I don't know why this is so surprising. I knew you had feelings for him, the same with Subaru and me-"
"I knew it!" I exclaim, cutting off my sister. I smile like a mad person and clap my hands together. "It is totally obvious you like him."
"This is about you, not me," she says blushing. "Well, speaking of Subaru, I have to meet him." She rises from her seat.
"Why?"
"We have to head out to the library and mall. I need some research material and supplies for a project. Subaru convinced Reiji to let me go out and get the things myself. Somewhere during their discussion he said he would go with me to make sure nothing happens."
"Oh, so now you're going to start hanging with Subaru in private." I lift my eyebrow and my sister rolls her eyes with a smile.
"Whatever, besid-"
"Bitch-chan," a sing-song voice calls from outside the door. I stiffen as Laito opens the door to my room smiling as wide as ever. "Bitch-chan, there you are, I was looking all over for you."
My sister remains frozen in place as the vampire comes closer to her. He softly touches her cheek and she flinches at the contact.
I clear my throat, causing the vampire to direct his attention on me. "Is there something you need from Yui?"
Laito smirk and sits on the bed beside me. "Since you're injured, Reiji won't allow us to have any of your blood, so I must take Yui's on your behalf." He leans closer into me, so close I feel his breath on my ear. "Unless you're willing to give me some of yours."
"Fuck off, Laito," I snap with a deadly glare. My thoughts from Monday come back from when Reiji was interrogating me. Yup, I really do want this bastard to rot in hell.
"Such a foul mouth for a beautiful girl." He places a hand on my cheek. "You should really fix that attitude of yours. Ayato has been telling me about how rude you have been these past few days. I think that you need to be punished. I haven't taken up the offer since that tantrum of yours, and I think it's about time I do. I want you to come to my room within the next half hour, come too late and your punishment will be worse."
He pulls away and leaves the room without another word. Yui looks at me then the door and then back to me. "What just happened?"
"Laito being Laito and harassing people," I say rolling my eyes. "That doesn't matter really. You need to go, Subaru is waiting for you." I get up and pat her on the back. "Don't have too much fun now."
"Hikari," she says embarrassed.
"Can you get me something?"
"What is it?"
"Please get me a CD player if you see one."
"Um, sure." She smiles and I fake one in return. We say our goodbyes and she leaves my room. I close the door behind her and lean against it. What does that pervert Laito have in mind? Multiple thoughts -all dirty because I'm dealing with Liato of course- about what he may be thinking of makes my blood run cold. None of them seem very delightful or tolerable.
I groan and slide down with my back against the door. I tuck my head into my knees and sigh. Like always, I'm just going to have to endure whatever is thrown my way. None of the punishments has been that bad, the worst of them all has to be Kanato's, though. I wonder what Reiji and Shuu are going to come up with, if they are anything like the others, I should be fine. A slap, change in title, and a bath is all that has happened to try and correct my behavior, again, none of them really causing me any real pain or suffering. Ugh, I sound like a masochist again.
I get off the floor and walk over to my dresser. I unbutton my white shirt and slip off my skirt. I dig through the drawers of my wardrobe to find something to wear. Laito, being the mega huge bastard he is, is probably going to bite me, regardless of what Reiji said. So finding clothes thought would cover me is the best way to prevent this. I find a pair of slacks and a grey, long sleeve shirt. I fight the agonizing battle of putting clothes on once more. I find the new house map I asked Yui to draw for me, the old one was probably dropped in Shuu's room. The sketch guides me to the Fedora wearing vampire's room.
I knock on the door, but no answer comes from within. "Hey, Laito, I'm here."
No answer.
"If you're going to tell someone to go to the room at least be in there," I mumble in frustration at the door. I hear a door open behind me and see Laito walking out of Ayato's room. I hear Ayato saying something, but he stops when Laito catches my gaze and motions for his brother to be silent.
"Hikari, what a surprise," Laito says with a smile walking closer to me.
"Oh please, don't pull that bullshit, you told me to come, so I'm here. It's not like I want to be here."
"If you don't want to be here, why did you come so early? Do you really want to be punished that badly?"
"I told you she's totally a masochist," Ayato says from his doorway with a smirk.
My face goes red with anger and I clench my slightly trembling fist. "I don't feel like waiting, I rather get it over with. If I had the choice I wouldn't be waiting for you to get your ass in your room and hurry up and get this shit over with!" I snap crossing my arms in frustration. I dig my fingers into my arm, determined not to let either of them see my shaking hands.
"Oi, you better watch yourself Melo-" Ayato begin, his face red with anger, but is cut off by Laito.
"It's fine Ayato," Laito assures. He is calm and smiles slightly. "I'm going to deal with her."
He walks across the hall and opens the bedroom door for me. Oh, know you want to be a gentleman. I walk in and lean against the wall near the door. The vampire follows me in and closes the door. As soon as the door shuts my heart starts to pound even harder against my chest. I bite the inside of my cheek.
He walks towards me, making me tense. I notice he's eyes are on the wardrobe on the other wall, and I sigh. Suddenly he hit the area of the wall right by left ear. I jump and let out an embarrassing squeak at the sudden movement. I tense up as he leans closer to me. I look him in the eye for only a millisecond before I looked down at the floor.
"Ayato was right," he says. "You really are all bark no bite." He leans in closer and I turn my head until my face touches the wall. I feel the heat of his breath come closer and I close my eyes. I feel his wet tongue lick my cheek, making my hair on the back of my neck stand up.
He leans back and moves his hand. I hear his footsteps walk to the other side of the room, but I don't open my eyes. My knees soon feel weak and I slide against the wall and onto the floor. I open my eyes and look at the vampire. He seems to be searching for something in the closet. I wipe my cheek and take in the room.
The carpet is a rich green color. There is a green cushioned chair and desk in the middle of the floor. A marble fireplace on the wall to my left. There are two windows, both hid behind large green curtains. On the wall opposite to me is Laito's bed. Its sheets are the same rich, emerald green as the other furniture. There is a gold headboard in front of a wall that is completely covered by heavy looking curtains. The room, in general, is littered with random items, desperately in need to be cleaned.
"Ah, here it is," Laito exclaims. I look over to see some kind of clothing draped over his arms. He turns around and walk towards me. I stand up so I have a better view of whatever he has. He picks it up by the hanger so I can see it perfectly. My mouth opens in surprise and I'm lost for words.
"Cute isn't it? It belonged to one of the brides, but she has no use for it now. So for the rest of the day you're going to wear it."
"D-Did you even ask Reiji about this?" I ask in protest staring at the outfit.
"He'll be with it."
"But you need to as-" The vampire grabs my left wrist and squeeze it tightly. I suck in a breath through my teeth.
"I'm sure you're supposed to take whatever punishment you are given, am I right?" I nod my head, but he doesn't seem satisfied. He twists my arm, forcing me onto my knees. "Articulate you whore!" he screams. "I've done my best to keep myself under control, but you are really starting to infuriate me."
"I'm sorry," I cry out. "Yes, you're right."
"Right about what?"
"Th-That I must accept the punishment given to me."
He smiles wickedly and let's go of my arm. I pull it back and rub my wrist, the area is more than likely going to have a bruise.
"Now be a good little slut and get dressed," he says, throwing the costume on me. I pick up the clothes and walk over to the bathroom. He doesn't seem to care about me dressing in private. I enter the bathroom and close the door. I throw the stupid costume on the toilet seat.
I stare at the maid outfit. It's very frilly, yet it's still nice looking. I strip off the clothes and put on the outfit. So much for trying to cover my skin. It has short sleeves, but it covers my bandage. The top part is two piece, exposing the top of my breast. The skirt stops at my thighs, just barely covering my scars. The apron is pearl white as if it is brand new. I noticed that on the hanger was also a pair of stockings and garter belt. I also put them on. At least the stocking goes up to my thighs, better covering my tattoos and scars. I comb out my hair with my fingers and put the headpiece on. I stare at myself in the mirror. Well, it could be worse, he could have asked me to put on lingerie. I shudder, the thought of him having some isn't an irrational one.
"What's taking you so long? Do you need some help?" the vampire ask from outside the room.
"No, no I'm done," I call out.
"Then hurry up and come out."
I groan and leave the bathroom. Laito is on the bed doing what seems like a word puzzle. He looks at me and he smiles a toothy grin. "Well, well, well, doesn't someone look sexy," he states.
The comment makes my cheeks turn pink even with my effort not to blush. I grip the hem of my dress with my sweating fingers. I don't look him in the eyes, this is too embarrassed. "What now, Laito?"
"No, no, I'm not Laito. For the rest of the day, you will be my maid." I stiffen at the thought. His maid? I know I'm wearing the outfit, but I thought that that's one of his weird turn-ons. So I have to actually play the part? "And do you know how a maid address their superiors?" he continues.
My eyes grow wide. No, I'm not calling him that. That it not his title, I'm not addressing anyone that way. "No, no I'm not calling you that," I protest looking at the floor.
"What was that?" His voice is sharp and angered.
"Please, please don't make me. Th-That's not your title." I feel my eyes burn as memories of the past come into my mind.
I hear him get off his bed and walk over to me. I turn away and close my eyes, but he grips my chin and pulls my face towards him.
"Hikari, open your eyes," he says sternly. I bite my lip and open my eyes. His emerald ones stare down at me. The perverted and childlike Laito I have been living with has totally transformed. Now he is a much bigger pervert and his lively personality had been replaced by a stern and serious one.
"Right here, right know, I am your master. This is your punishment for being such a disrespectful, rude bitch since you got here. Got it Whore-chan?"
My stomach drops at the words. I feel a lump form in my throat, but I push it down. "Y-Yes, m-master," I choke out. He smiles and let's go of my chin. I feel as if I lost myself. I promised myself I would never be in this position again, but here I am, calling someone master. I didn't want to have to be such a pitiful, sad excuse for a person. Obeying every word that is uttered by some person that thinks they're above you.
Get a hold of yourself Hikari. Don't fall into that depression again, this is nothing. This is only for a few hours, you can do this. You aren't lower than anyone, he's just messing with you. Don't let him break you. And when it comes to our past, get the fuck over it.
I clench my jaw and look at the vampire. My seriousness takes him by surprise and he loses his smirk. "How can I please you today, master?" I ask sternly.
"Mmm, I don't like this," he response. "You need to smile, loosen up."
I scowl at him and sigh. If I'm going to go through this for the rest of the day, I might as well not give him a reason to complain in the end. I smile and ask in the sweetest voice I can muster up, "How can I serve you today, master?" This is a huge blow to my already dwindling pride.
"Better," he says with a smirk. "Hmm, you can start with cleaning the room." He walks back to the bed and picks back up his puzzle book.
I roll my eyes at him, this is going to be a long day. I begin to pick up the random objects littering his floor. I fold clothes, shelf books, and vacuum. The whole time I feel Laito's eyes piercing into me. Every time I bend over I feel as if he is staring at my butt, which only makes me think he can see my underwear because of short length of the dress.
"I notice the house is almost always spotless, but I never see any of you guys cleaning, how is that?" I ask.
"Hmm, are you talking to me?" he teases with a grin.
"How is that, master," I spit out.
"One of the familiars usually tend to that kind of stuff when we're out."
"I see. Well, I'm done with the cleaning, what now, master?"
"Come sit down."
"Pardon?" I ask flatly.
"You heard me, come sit with me."
What is up with these weird request? I slowly walk over to his bed and sit down next to him. I sit so my feet are still off the edge and there's space between us. He looks at me and I look right back at him.
"Come closer," he coos. I scoot an inch closer to him. Clearly annoyed, he puts his book down and picks me up. He places me in his lap and I freeze. He combs his fingers through my hair and tucks some behind my right ear. His fingers are cold against my skin, making me shiver. He picks the book and pencil back up and begins to work on it again.
I sit still in his lap, refusing to make a move. I feel his chest slightly press against my back every time he inhales. His long arms on both sides of me, trapping me. I look at his puzzle trying to focus on something besides the vampire.
"This is 'tablecloth', master," I state, pointing at a row on the page.
"Mmm, so it is, good job," he writes it down and pats me on the head. I want to shake off the touch, but I stay frozen. I don't help after that, I just gaze around the room.
After what seems like an eternity he tells me to get off. I'm relieved and slide out of his legs. He looks to the clock on the fireplace.
"It's about time for dinner," he states getting off his bed.
"Okay." I begin to walk to the bathroom.
"Where are you going?"
"To the bathroom to change, master?" I say in a 'duh' tone.
"No, no, no Whore-chan you're staying like this until the night is over," he says with a smirk.
"I'm what?!" I exclaim. "No way, no way am I staying like this. I'm not walking out there dressed in this maid outfit. Besides, the night is over, its 7:38 am."
"Then you can just stay in here while I eat, although Reiji would get quite crossed." He grins wider, baring his fangs. "Which one would you rather have, a punishment from Reiji or a stab to your pride?"
I bite my lip in frustration. This bastard! I groan and march to the door and throw it open. I want to curse him out, but I bite my tongue. I just need to eat and leave. I try to rush ahead of the vampire, but I realize I have no idea how to get to the dining room from this part of the house. My map is in my shirt in the bathroom. I end up following Laito all the way to the dining room.
He stops at the door and looks at me with a smirk. "Are you ready for everyone to see you in your cute dress, Whore-chan?"
"No, I'm not, master," I groan. Even if I want to hurry up and get this over with, they're all still going to see me. The thought makes me frustrated and embarrassed all at once. What will Shuu do? I'm really dreading him seeing me like this. I take a deep breath. It's fine Hikari just act normal. If you act normal, it will blow over fast.
I push open the door and walk in. Instantly all eyes are on me. I hear Yui gasp and I bite my lip even harder. Ayato smirk and I can see him staring at my exposed chest. Kanato and Subaru look at me with no expression. Reiji glares in our direction, his eyes burning holes into me. But I don't care about any of them or their reactions, my eyes stay on one person.
Shuu locks eyes with me for a second before he looks away. I can't tell what he's thinking or read his expression. I walk over and sit next to Yui and Laito by me.
"Hikari," Reiji say. "What are you wearing?"
"A maid costume," I reply with an 'obviously' under my breath.
"Why are you wearing it?"
I look over to Laito, staring daggers into the smirking vampire.
"This is my punishment from-" I inhale, not wanting to say the final word around everyone. "my master," I say, rushing the words out under my breath.
"Excuse me, from who?"
"Can we just eat?" I exclaim annoyed. The second eldest vampire narrows his eyes at me.
"Very well," he says in defeat and everyone begins to eat. Throughout the meal, at least one person would be staring at me at any given time. I just wanted to scream at them, but that's the reason I'm in this position in the first place.
I finish my meal before anyone else and get up.
"Excuse me," I say. I turn to leave, but I feel a hand grab my left arm and pull me. I stumble but catch myself. I'm right next to Laito's face when I steady myself.
"Wait in the room for me," he whispers into my ear. "And don't forget to say goodbye to everyone for the day. You can do those two simple things, right?
"Yes, I can, master," I whisper back and he lets go of my arm. I pull back and scan the room. Once more everyone eyes me. I look at Yui who looks more uneasy than me. I bend down next to her and whisper to her, "I'm fine, don't worry about me."
I walk to the door and turn around, looking everyone. I calm myself and look straight at Shuu. His eyes finally final meet mine. I want to look into them forever, but it soon becomes too much. I break our gaze before I completely lose myself. Remembering Laito's command, I bow and say, "Have a good rest, masters and milady. I will see in the waking hour."
I turn back around and walk and the door, closing it behind me. I don't move right away, I stay and listen for their reactions. It's silent for a moment, but it is soon disturbed by a howling laugh.
"Oh god, Laito," Ayato hollers. "How did you get her to do that? You make me feel as if I wasted my opportunity by making her call me 'Ayato-sama'."
"I simply told her that this was her punishment," Laito response in a proud voice like he was the one that taught me this. "Tell that to any masochist and they will do whatever you want."
I want to punch him so hard every time he says that word. I'm no masochist.
"Don't call her that," I hear Yui defend me. "That is just her way of making things right. She yelled at you guys last week and she knows that's not right. That's is why she told you guys she needed to be punished, not because she wants it, but because she knows her ill behavior can't just slide." I feel tears in my eyes as I listen to my sister defend me. It's taking all my willpower not to barge back in there and give her a hug. "She was raised like that, and you don't know what kind of conditi-"
"Yui," I hear a stern voice say. It takes me a moment to realize its Shuu. My heart flutters a bit when I hear him. I mentally thank him for stopping her before she told anything I wanted to remain unsaid.
"Laito, I can care less if you're going to make her wear such attire," Reiji begins. "But please don't make her wear it outside your private room. No one needs to see her like that. This isn't for her sake, though." Of course, Reiji doesn't care, why would he? "And if you have a recommendation for her punishment, inform me about it first."
"She looks pretty sexy, though," Ayato states.
"Agreed," Shuu say with a sigh. Everyone goes quiet after hearing the eldest opinion. My face flush hearing him say that. Shuu thinks I look sexy. Stop that, get a hold of yourself Hikari.
"Excuse me, I'm leaving," Yui says and I hear the sound of her chair sliding across the floor. "I'm not just going sit here and listen to you guys talk about my sister like she's some kind of doll."
I have no time to react before the door to the dining room is open. I duck down, not wanting any of the vampires to see me eavesdropping. Yui walks out of the room with a rock hard expression. She turns and heads to the greeting area.
I silently follow her until she gets to the stairway. "Hey, Yui, wait up," I call out.
She jumps in surprise and turns around to look at me. "Hikari, what are you still doing here?" she asks, shocked.
"I don't know my way back." Not the truth neither a lie.
"You don't know the way back to your room by now?"
"I do, I need to go to Laito's, though."
"Oh, okay I will walk you back then." I take a few steps to catch up to her and we begin to make our way to Laito's room.
"He's serious about the whole maid thing?" she asks looking me up and down.
"Yeah, I know, completely ridiculous," I answer rolling my eyes. "The worst part is that he's making me call him 'master'. I can care less about this stupid dress and doing whatever he wants, but addressing him like that, I just hate it."
Yui places a hand on my back and rubs circles in it. "It will be over soon. He can only keep you so long. And by the way, Reiji acted, it's is going to be over soon."
"Yeah, I guess. Thanks for standing up for me, I highly appreciate it."
"You heard that?" She looks down in embarrassment.
"I was kind of eavesdropping. I just wanted to know what was happening."
"So you heard what Shuu said?"
I smile slightly and nod. "Do you usually do that? You know, say what you feel."
"Honestly, no. I've only done it like one other time." She looks at me with a smile. "I guess you're rubbing off on me some."
We make it to Laito's room before we know it. Yui asks if I want her to stay, but I politely decline the offer. I walk around the room once more. Nothing has changed in the past twenty minutes, but I still scan the room.
I pull out the chair and sit in it, laying my head down in my arms. When is this going to be over? All I want to do right now is go to my room and go to sleep. I have been sleeping well, but I feel as if I need more than usual after this crap with Laito.
As if being called by my thoughts, Laito opens the door with a grin. "I back my little maid."
"Welcome back, master," I mutter out of pure sarcasm. He walks over to me and lays a hand on my head which I quickly slap off. "Don't touch me."
I look up and see Laito giving me a fake pout. "What's wrong? You were being such an obedient maid earlier," he says.
"I'm sick of playing your stupid game, this is bullshit."
"Now, now, Whore-chan." He places his hand back on my head.
"Stop calling me that, I'm not a whore! And I said not to touch me!"
Laito seriously frowns and narrows his eyes at me. He takes my elbow and pulls me out the chair, causing the seat to fall with a loud thud.
"Hey, hey Laito stop," I say as he drags me across the room. I try to pull away, but his grip is far too hard. He pushes me on the bed onto my back.
He gets right on top of me, his legs between mine. He leans in and I feel him lick my neck. I try to shove him off with no avail. I feel the vampire's fangs on my skin, but he doesn't bite. He traces them over my neck and lightly gnaws on me, but never actually piercing my skin.
"Laito, Laito get off of me," I hiss.
"I'm your master, address me as so," he says. "Also," he moves his hand to one of my breasts, "I can touch you all I want." He scrunches my breast, his cold fingers groping pulls down of the maid top and bra in one tug. I squirm to break free, but he takes each of my wrist in his hands.
"You know, if I have to hold you down, I can't play with your beautiful boobs," he says. "I guess I must improvise." He moves his face down to my tits. Even though his breath is warm, I shiver. His tongue comes in contact with my breast. I don't want to give him the satisfaction of any pleasure, so I remain silent.
He looks up at me with a frown. "Are you going to fight the pleasure?" He takes my nipple in between his lips. He presses them together, my nipple squished between them. He's tongue flicks over it and he sucks. I push my own lips together to suppress a pleasure filled moan. He smirks and moves to my neglected breast. He licks circles around raspberry size flesh. He sucks hard and let's go with a loud pop sound.
"Why aren't you fighting back anymore, Whore-chan?" he asks. I look to the side with shame. My muscles has lost all of their strength and I lay limply on the bed.
"Shut up," I snap.
"I'm really not liking your foul mouth." He gets up and I try to do the same. "Stay right there or you'll regret it." He opens the drawer and I hitch a breath. Please don't bring out a condom, I don't want sex. Please. He doesn't. He pulls out something much worse.
"No," I say. I try to get off the bed, but he grabs my bad arm, pain shoots up through my limb.
"I told you not to move," he says in a disappointedly with a shake of his head. Before I can say a word, he places the ball gag in my mouth. I know how these things work, but I try to get it out anyways. He pushes my arms in front of me and leans his chest against my back. He pushes me so my stomach is on the bed and he is on top of me. Keeping his body against mine so I couldn't use my hands, he tightens the gag around my head. I try to push it out with my tongue before it was too tight, but I lost the opportunity.
"Now that's better," he says with a wicked smile. He gets off my back and gazes at me. I'm about to get up but is pushed down once more. "Don't get up again, I mean it."
I turn my head so I can see behind me. Laito inspects my butt with an evil smile. He lifts up my skirt and pulls it down so it is draped over my back. I feel him trace the hem of my underwear and stockings. I feel him begin to take off the garter belt.
"Mmmm-mmm," I try to tell him no, but the word come out as an uninterruptible mumble. I shake my head and try to get up. The next thing I feel is a hard slap to my ass. It takes me a moment to realize that he just spanked me. It had been over two years since I have last been hit on my butt by someone's bare hand.
"I told you not to move. Do it again and you will get another," Laito says. I stay with my ass in the air and face on the bed, body crushing my arms. My face itches from my hair being fanned over it, but I'm in no position to fix it. I glare at Laito spitefully, and I would have long spat out a string of curse words if it hadn't been for the ball in my mouth.
"You look so sexy like this," the perverted vampire says as he gazing over my body. I feel his hands on my rear again and I stiffen. He softly rubs each cheek. He trails over them, only squeezing a bit here and there. He lowers his cool limbs down to my front and I try to move my hips away.
Another hard slap finds its way towards my butt. "You must stay still, Whore-chan. Would you rather me tie you down?" I shake my head and he smiles. "So. Stay. Still."
His fingers trail back to my panties and I feel him rub my wet spot. I shudder a bit at the contact and a small moan makes its way from my throat. He slides my panties to the side and sticks a single digit in me. I bite down on the gag until my teeth start to hurt. Don't moan, don't show pleasure.
He adds another finger and I scrunch my eyes close. He began to make scissor motions in me and my eyes shoot open. He stretches open my wall and I feel them close back around his fingers. "Nnngghh," I moan out into the gag.
He chuckles and I feel myself flip over. I'm on my back once more, facing upwards towards Laito. He leaned in close and I put my arms up in protest. He takes them and puts the left one under me. He raises the right towards his mouth.
"Whore-chan, when will you ever learn to listen? Even after all the pain Natsume probably put you through, he failed to teach you how to obey simple commands." Anger flares in me when he brings up Natsume. But the heat in my face soon travels to my wrist as the vampire sinks his fangs into my hand. I don't even try to pull away, I know I would just add more gashes onto my body. He sucks so hard on my wrist, I know there is going to be not only piercings but a hickey.
He releases his fangs and licks the piercing, staring down at me. "You really mess me up," he says licking my wrist. I crane my head and see a large bulge in his pants. He releases my hand and moves his hand down to the zipper on his pants.
My eyes go wide and I thrash to get from under him. I try to kick off the vampire before he can get any further, but he holds me down with a single hand.
"What happened to you?" he ask with a frown. "When you first got here, you were basically begging me to have sex. Now you're putting up such a fight."
Because I promise myself to stop, that I was no longer going to do this. That I wasn't going to turn into a sex maniac. I can't do this when my heart belongs to someone else.
"Laito stop. Please, I don't want this," I say, but of course Laito couldn't understand my words with the ball in my mouth. I pull my hands from under myself and place them on his chest. I don't try to push him off. I stay still, no longer kicking and thrashing. I look up at him with pleading eyes. I know I can no longer communicate through my mouth, so I convey my feelings through my body. I stop fighting, I surrender, but I still plead for him to stop.
His face softens for a moment as if he noticed what I'm trying to say. But the moment is gone and I see him smirk. "I guess I've won," he says and plunges himself into me.
I howl out into the gag and arch my back. He just rammed into me, not even giving me a moment. I feel tears sting in my eyes and I clench Laito's shirt. He snickers and begin to pull out of me until only the tip of him is inside of me. I know what is going to happen next and I brace myself. As I anticipated he rams back into me. I tighten my grip on him- why am I holding onto him? - as he begins to thrust in and out of me.
The all too familiar pain explodes through my lower regions. The vampire thrusts his hips into me continuously without giving me a moment to adjust. He rocks himself in and out and the pain gradually numbs, but I don't let go of him.
While he still pushes himself into me, he leans over and takes my breast back into his mouth. He begins to lick and suck on them once more. He violently gropes my left one, sinking his fingers into my breast.
"Even with that ball in your mouth, I can still hear your lewd moans of pleasure," Laito say. I ignore him and turn my head. Why am I being pleasured while being raped?
Laito still thrusting into me, the sound of flesh hitting flesh echo off of the room's wall. I feel his member grow and my walls tighten. He pulls out, and, with a groan of pleasure, releases his seeds on to me.
Panting, he reaches over and undoes the fastened gag. He pulls it out, a strand of saliva linking my mouth and the ball. I feel drool on my cheek, but I don't move to wipe it.
Laito leans in and kisses my slack mouth. "That was perfect, Whore-chan," the vampire says. I don't speak. He gets up, zips up his fly, and walks to the bathroom.
Slowly, I close my legs and bring my knees up to my exposed chest. I don't bother to fix my clothes, I just lay there. This feeling I haven't felt in so longs aches back up. Violation. I was completely and utterly violated, and there was nothing I could do. I fought and struggled, but I was still utterly helpless.
I hear the shower run in the bathroom and the door open once again. I stay still as the vampire comes towards me. Surprisingly, he picks me up and takes me over to the bathroom. He puts me down on the toilet seat and leaves the room.
After a minute or so, I get up and begin to take off my clothes. I don't think twice about going into the shower with the bandage still wrapped around my body. I wash my body with the cloth that was neatly folded on top of a towel I found on the counter. I wash the cloth over my stomach until I reach my scars. I drop the cloth and place my bare hand on my scars.
I then begin to cry.
I wrap my arms around my marked skin and sob hysterically. I told myself no more, no more. But there I was, completely at Laito's mercy. I said less than a week ago that I wanted to change, but I can't. Why won't this shitty world let me change for the better? I no longer what to be this way, that's all ask for. I know there isn't a god to hear and grant my wishes, so there isn't a force or being to hate.
I cry my eyes raw and get out of the shower. I don't bother drying myself properly. I throw on my underwear and pants. I take my shirt in hand, I'm not going to struggle to put this on. I don't think I would be able to put it on with this wet bandage. I don't mind if any of them see me without a shirt, I have lost the ability to care for the rest of the day.
I open the door and Laito is no longer in the room. I leave before he can get me back into the maid outfit. I walk to my room without seeing any of the brothers or Yui.
When I reach my room, I fall onto my bed. I don't want to do anything or see anyone. I don't want to think about vampires or bites or scars. I just want to sleep and dream. Dream of a world where the night of November 10th never unfolded the way it did. Where Kaname lived and I stayed with the twins. No cell, whips, and screams, just living my days peacefully with them. And after all that time together, they would want me to stay with them, and I do. And since I was safe, I could leave the house. I'm able to go to school and make friends. I meet Nanami and go to her and Kaname's wedding I always daydreamed about. When the twins had to go to America, I would be right there on the plane with them. And after Kaname took over the company, it would just be Natsume and me. I would spend my days with my loving Natsume. The demon inside him never coming out to hurt me. Natsume would still love me like he always did. He would hold me close every night, promising never to let go.
That is the world I dream of when sleep finally takes me.
Did you guys like the chapter? Hikari is trying to change her ways. She admits she's crushing on Shuu, but her feelings towards Natsume are still lingering.
Comment you thought about it.
