A/N: TW!: ED (Mentions of Eating Disorder)

"This is so nice!"

"On the rack. How does it look on you?" Ayato replied coldly. "It's an ugly dress."

Yui pouted. Maybe I should put it back… And she did.

"Did you really have to wear the scarf? It looks terrible on you." Ayato remarked.

Yui had to wear the scarf. She didn't have enough makeup to properly hide the bite and kiss marks.

Yui sighed heavily. "You're no help, Ayato."

Ayato and Yui went out shopping to look for outfits for the school carnival that was happening in three days.

"Tch! I really hate shopping. These clothes are all generic."

"I'm sorry to hear that Ayato." Yui said calmly.

"I'm going to find something better for you." Ayato grinned.

"Okay. I'll look around there." Yui pointed to where she'll be.

"Fine. I put that kiss mark on your neck for no reason…" Ayato grumbled to himself as he walked away.

Ayato couldn't wait to go to the school's carnival. He was going to be the best guy there. Performing on the stage with that nuisance flashy idol guy… It's all gonna be worth it. He had to find Yui the perfect outfit. He wanted to find something skimpy to show off her slender pale legs… It was the best feature on her body. He went through the racks quickly, only tsking at the quality of the clothes.

"Sakamaki, what are you doing here in the women's aisle?"

Ayato turned around was faced with Ruki. His dark grey eyes eyed Ayato suspiciously. "Tch, none of your business."

"Is Livestock with you?"

"Don't go anywhere near here! I know you took her out to a cafe last week." Ayato growled.

"She was feeling down and I treated her to a meal."

"She belongs to me!" Ayato barked.

Ruki chuckled. "Your Karlheinz's son, he expects you to be a proper king."

"Don't bring his name into this! You know nothing about him!" How dare he bring his old man into this conversation! Ruki knew nothing about the Sakamaki name.

"He has a lot of work to do." Ruki began to look through the racks, having a serious expression on his face.

"What are you doing?" Ayato knew Ruki was a complete weirdo, but he came alone. There was no woman with him.

"Looking for something nice for Livestock to wear."

Ayato let out a dark chuckle. "You must really want to die, Mukami. You interfere with everything I'm doing with her!"

"She's important to me. She's someone I need to help get the task done to please him."

"Oh… You're talking about that stupid project the old man's working on. I told him I don't want any part with anything he's doing and told him to leave Pancake out of it."

"You are a miserable fool…" Ruki walked away from him before Ayato could reply back angrily.

Pancake doesn't need a guy like him for Adam! She knows who she belongs to! I've slept with her, sucked her blood, saved her, and everything! I'm her first everything! She better not be stupid to pick that cheeky bastard over me!

He walked around the store looking for the perfect dress for her.

"Hey there mister~" Ayato felt a woman wrapped her arms around his waist. He knew it was a woman due to her voice and smell her perfume and her horrible scent.

He nudged the woman away. He faced her. She had big breasts, wore lots of makeup, and had an hourglass figure.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!"

"Oh I'm sorry if I made you mad mister~ just hear me out~"

(PAUSE)

"R-Ruki! It's a very nice outfit!"

In front of Yui's eyes was Ruki holding a hot pink ruffle skirt and a white blouse.

"I'm glad you like it. Why don't you try it on?"

"Oh… I will. It's just…" Yui lowered her eyes. She didn't want to sound selfish but she was hoping Ayato would pick out clothes for her.

He lifted up her chin which caused her to blush. "What's wrong, Livestock?"

"N-Nothing! I'll go try it on now!" She took the clothes and began to walk to the fitting room. She quickly stopped when her eye caught a glance of Ayato. Who was talking to a very gorgeous woman.

Yui felt envious. The woman was exactly Ayato's type. She hated feeling this emotion.

She watched silently.

Ruki place his hands on her shoulders. "Livestock what's wrong?"

"It's Ayato…"

"What about him?" Yui pointed her finger shakingly at the two. They were awfully close. Ayato seemed to enjoy her company.

"Again… what about him?" He whispered seductively in her ear. He leaned close to her, their lips almost touching.

Yui felt someone pull her and her lips crashed into…

Ayato. His kiss was rough and forceful. His arm was wrapped around her waist tightly while the other arm was around her neck.

Separating slowly, Ayato spoke, "This girl already has a master. It's me. She belongs to me."

The gorgeous woman sneered. "This girl? She has a cardboard body. How can she benefit you?"

"You smell like shit. Beat it." Ayato sneered back. The woman gasped. He grabbed Yui which caused her to drop the clothes and they walked away.

Leaving Ruki with a smirk on his face.

(PAUSE)

Inside the limo, Ayato was sucking her blood through her thighs.

"Ayato…" Yui whimpered. He wasn't too happy with the whole Ruki-almost-kissed-Yui situation. Luckily they both had some shopping done with no interruptions. He found the perfect outfit for Yui and she got makeup. It was a black off the shoulder top blouse with flowers with a pleated red skirt.

"You're blood is too damn good. I could kill you." Ayato released his fangs and sat next to her, finished.

"Ayato… thank you for taking me out today."

"Your wardrobe lacked a lot of style and sexiness."

Yui kicked him softly on his leg. He smirked. "You were jealous of me and that skank."

"I was not." Yui quickly said.

"Yours Truly saw you. I wanted to kiss her, but her scent was just too much."

"Why would you kiss her?" Yui questioned quickly.

"To make you jealous."

"Why do you want to make me jealous?"

"You have this spark in your eyes…" He looked at her. Yui had a small smile on her face. "Um… Ayato."

"What?"

"I…" She looked at her hands. "I have something to confess."

"Tch! Hurry up!"

Wait now… Is this even the right path for me? I've fallen in love with a vampire who have used and abused me, yet saved me and protected me… He has taken away my virginity, punished me in so many cruel ways… If he feels the same way… I will have to leave God. He doesn't believe in God… he has shamed me… I won't be able to see my father again… He has left me… alone…

Yui felt tears coming down her face. She sniffed. "N-Nevermind…"

"Oi! Why are you crying?"

Yui dried away her tears with her handkerchief. "It's nothing…"

Ayato watched silently. What the hell is wrong with her?! If she wants to tell me something she should just say it!

Ayato tried to reach out to her but she moved her head and sniffed quietly.

The thirst is coming back… Shit!

(PAUSE)

The following day, Yui was walking down the school hall with Ruki. She apologized to him due to yesterday's events. He forgave her.

"Livestock you mustn't look down. Fix your posture."

Yui was a bit of an upset. Her feelings towards Ayato were so confusing. She loved him so much, yet she didn't want to love him.

"I'm sorry…" she said quietly.

"You stupid bitch! I thought I told you to give me those test answers today!"

This outburst was coming from down below the hall. Yui saw a group of girls, yelling and cursing at someone who was possibly in the middle. Yui quickly ran to see what the commotion was.

Yui gasped when she saw who was bruised by the girls.

"Masami!"

Yui shoves the girls away from Masami.

"Komori! You got guts to test us!"

Yui helped Masami up.

A girl was ready to punch Yui only to be stopped by Ruki.

The girl smiled at him.

"Enough of this." He glared the girl down.

The girls ran away, frightened by the dark aura above him.

"Masami, let's go get you cleaned up in the infirmary!" Yui grabbed her arm.

"N-No!" Masami shouted. She snatched her arm back and glared at Yui.

Yui was shocked by this. "W-Why?"

"Just help me in the bathroom! Please…"

Yui nodded and lend the bruised girl a shoulder.

(PAUSE)

"You wear makeup?"

After Yui was finished cleaning Masami up, she decided to hide the small scratches with makeup.

Yui nodded.

"You don't need makeup…" Masami mumbled.

"What?" Yui asked.

"Shut up! Hurry!" she barked.

Yui obeyed.

It was quiet for a minute. Masami was in bad shape and Yui was wondering whether or not to take her to the infirmary or let this pass her. Masami was broken… she needed to be repaired. Yui knew this girl was her bully and has made the past months a nightmare, but she wasn't raised to cast someone away who clearly needed help.

"Why are you helping me?" Masami quietly asked. "I treated you like shit."

"It's the way how I am. I don't bring harm to others as done to me."

"People will walk all over you if you walk around with that mentality."

"As long as I don't stoop down to someone's low level, I'm fine with it."

"Hmph."

Yui heard Masami's stomach growled. Masami blushed. Yui quickly went into her bag and pulled out a snack. "Here, you can have it."

"I don't want it."

"Take it."

"What are you deaf?" Masami glared at the girl. "I said I don't want it."

Yui took Masami's hand and put the snack on her hand. She held Masami's hand. "Masami… I want you to know that you're a beautiful girl."

"I know that! Don't touch me!" She swatted Yui's hand away.

"I know… that you're starving yourself." Masami's eyes widened. "I want you to know that you're beautiful and I want you to know that I'm here for you. I just want you to talk to me. Tell me everything about yourself, your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Just… please."

Masami covered her eyes with her hands and began to sob. "I...I'm sorry…"

"Talk to me." Yui rubbed her back soothingly.

(PAUSE)

Masami was lying down in the infirmary's beds, eyelids closed. Yui was next to her. What Masami told her devastated Yui. She had anorexia. "You're so nice, sweet, and pretty… I wanted to be like you. You have an amazing heart and you never change yourself… the modeling agency I signed up for… didn't pick me. They told me I didn't have the look. I was going to need to lose weight in order to catch up with the other girls..." Masami bullied people in order to feel confident about herself. It was a defense mechanism to avoid being a victim of bullying. "I never really… liked Ayato. The guy's an egotistical jerk and you can do so much better! He told me I smell bad! Asshole! I started falling for… his brother. Kanato. He had a different look, style, and mindset… I thought it was pretty cool. So I started wearing… a similar style of his. I left candies for him… cause I was too chicken to ask him out!" Yui gave Masami encouraging words and advice that made Masami come forward to talk to the doctor in the infirmary. "I'll tell Dr. Rainhart about it…Thanks Yui."

"I am so glad that you brought her here."

Yui gasped when she saw Dr. Reinhart next to her. "D-Doctor… You startled me."

"My apologies." His long blonde hair and pinkish eyes behind his glasses… he had such a nice appearance and made Yui blushed.

"Miss Komori, I hope you realize the change amongst this place."

"W-What do you mean?"

"Big things are happening. Are you prepared to play a role in a world where it involves two partners who can change things?"

"I'm sorry Doctor… but I'm confused." What is he implying?

"I need you to fully engage in the obstacles set up for you. Do I make myself clear?" He lifted up her chin. She nodded. He smiled softly at the naive girl.
