Yui stared at Ruki's mirror. She faked a smile and reminded him how great she looked in the clothes he picked out for her. Her hair was styled in bright colors of flowers picked out from the front yard of the manor. She wore light makeup, she was told by Ruki she looked better natural but her complexion was a bit pale. "This will be perfect for the school carnival, Ruki."

"Yes. Go ahead and take it off. Wear something comfortable today."

"Okay." Ruki turned around as Yui changed into more comfortable clothes.

He walked up to her when she said she was done. He wrapped his arms around her waist and began to smell her. "He's taken away something from you… hasn't he?"

"R-Ruki…" She felt his hands roaming around her lower body.

"You've chose me over him."

Yui escaped his grasp feeling uncomfortable. "Let's go downstairs."

"Am I making you nervous?"

Yui nodded.

"Don't be. I'm your Adam. My job is to make Eve comfortable as possible."

"Okay."

"I hope our special guest makes an appearance tonight." Ruki said to himself.

"Hm?"

"Good ahead and wait in the living room. I'll be there shortly."

Yui nodded and slowly made her way out of the room.

She wanted to cry, she felt her soul torn. Loving a vampire will definitely ruin her relationship with God.

She was lost in thought when she lost her footing when she walked down the stairs. "Ah!"

She was caught by the tall Mukami. "Sow! Be careful!"

"Sorry… Yuma…"

"Heh… you look good for once!" He grinned.

"It would've been better had she been under my wing!" Kou called out.

"Yes… Eve looks… amazing…" Azusa smiles at her.

"Thanks guys."

"Smile more masochist kitty! We've gotta look good together!"

She smiled. She had to force herself to.

(PAUSE)

Ayato arrived early to the school carnival alongside his brothers. It was morning and Ayato had this idea that she had to be here since she was performing on stage. He thought she was going to rehearse all day till tonight.

"Slow down Ayato~"

Ayato was infuriated by the events that took place yesterday.

"I don't see why you're hung up on her!" Subaru annoyingly said.

How dare she leave me! I need her… dammit! Pancake!

"She's not even here! She'll be here tonight!" Subaru reminded him.

"I can't wait until tonight! I've been searching all night for her! This is the one and only chance… I'm staying here."

"There are a lot of beautiful women around here. Why not join me and Subaru for some fun?" Laito noticed a woman staring at him questionably. He winked at her and the woman turned away flustered.

"Huh? Who said I'll be doing anything with you?" Subaru was heated as Laito chuckled.

"These women are boring. Their scent doesn't sit well for me."

"Aaah~ I call dibs on that brunette with large breasts. She looks like your type too!" Laito was about to walk away only to be stopped by Ayato.

"That woman may be my type but…" Ayato was struggling with his words. He quickly walked away from them.

That woman was an A plus! But she's not Pancake. What the hell is with me today…

He used all his vampire abilities to track down Yui. He couldn't sense her at all. So she's not here right now…

"You are always doing mischievous things."

That voice…

"You." In front of Ayato was his father dressed in Tougo Sakamaki disguise. "Don't you have business to attend to in the Demon World."

"My familiar informed me that my son has given away his Eve."

"Eve? How many times do I have to keep telling you?! Leave me and Pancake out your shitty projects!" Ayato barked. "I didn't give her away! She left! She left our manor! She left me!"

"But you didn't stop her." Tougo stated.

"I did! That piece of fucking shit Mukami tricked her into coming with him!"

"You blame Ruki… but haven't you ever questioned yourself?"

"The fuck you going on about?"

Tougo sighed. "Have you ever asked yourself the reasons why she might have left? Why hasn't she escaped before? Or perhaps… why are you looking for her?"

"She belongs to me. She's my possession. Possessions do not leave their owner."

Tougo smirked. "Is that so?"

...Wait.

"She was being stubborn and sensitive as always. She asked me if vampires could ever experience love. I told her it was nonexistent."

"But does she think it's nonexistent? Have you ever put your emotions aside to listen to hers?"

"No. It's a human thing. I don't have the time and energy to care."

"Yes you do. You've saved her life countless times."

"Because she's valuable blood."

"You've watched her, protected her, and shared the experience."

"What experience?"

"Love." Tougo grinned.

"Bullshit!" Ayato remarked. "I don't love her!"

"I never said you love her."

"So then…"

"Eve is looking for an Adam who can put their differences aside to create something new. Start a new race, a new chapter, and lead a new life!"

"...Why am I still talking to you! I've gotta find Pancake!" He ran past him not bothering to finish answering his questions.

"Hmm…" Tougo smirked at this. "Will he succeed?"

(PAUSE)

Kou didn't want to take the limo right away to the school carnival, he had some errands to do. He took Yuma and Azusa along with him, leaving Ruki and Yui in the limo. Ruki and Yui were close together that there shoulders were practically touching.

"I'm sorry for the way I acted today." Yui wasn't being much help and felt sorry about the fact that Ruki might grow to be tired of her and weird behavior.

"It's alright, Livestock. I'm glad you're here."

"I really like that, Ruki."

"If you don't mind Livestock, I would like to drink some of your blood."

Yui moves her hair to the side and Ruki went in.

This blood sucking feels different. It's not like his… the fangs pierce me… sometimes it's gentle and sometimes there not. Why am I so conflicted with this embarrassing thought. Comparing Ruki to him… is it natural?

Ruki had a tight grip on her arms and Yui had her eyelids shut.

Ruki finished and wiped his mouth. "You've definitely aren't a virgin."

"W-What?!" Yui was surprised by this. Why did he mention this again all of a sudden?

"I knew that Sakamaki took it away from you. I taste the change. And his scent has not faded from you."

"Does it bother you so much, Ruki?" An innocent question.

He nodded. Yui looked away blushing. "O-Oh…"

He pulled her towards him and sealed a kiss. "You must only smell like me." He said after he broke away from the kiss.

My heart hurts… my head… I can hear church bells ringing… I see apples falling… oh…

"Ruki… my head… it hurts…" Yui was touching her temple and was breathing a bit heavy.

"Your main focus should be on me now. Fill your head with me." He pinned her down in forceful way and brought her wrist to his lips and his fangs pierce through her pale skin. Yui began to wince and felt her body almost floating and her vision blurring.

Why am I here… Why isn't he here with me?

"I mustn't hold back!" Ruki's fangs met her collarbone, his body hovering over hers.

"Ruki please stop…" Her voice was quivering… Her body was on fire.

"Think of me! Your Adam! Livestock stay with me!"

"No!" Yui kicked him. She got up from her seat and tried to escape the limo only to fall on the limo's carpet floor and became dizzy.

"You… You are in no position to deny your master. It seems like you have no idea what you're in for…"

"I don't… please no." Yui realized that it was a huge mistake to choose Ruki over Ayato. I wanna go back. I wanna go back.

"If I don't do this… I will never become Adam. Stay there and be a good Livestock."

He pinned her down harshly this time and began to drink away leaving her into deep slumber.

(PAUSE)

It was nighttime and Ayato was seated all the way up front to wait for the performance. He had searched all day for her and could not sense her anywhere. This place was his last hope. Ayato reflected on the conversation he had with his father. The plan sounded shitty but… He wanted to be the next Vampire King. Accomplish something his shitty father could never do.

He knows his bastard mother wanted him to be number one…

Fuck them.

The place was packed. Everyone was a chatterbox. Some fans screamed Kou's names do had posters of him up in the air. Ayato came here to see one person. Pancake. He was going to take her back. She was his.

His arms were folded and then the curtains finally opened presenting the announcer announcing the act tonight.

"Thank you so much to everyone who came to support the school! I'd like to present to you Kou Mukami!"

Who gives a rat's ass! Kou and his backup dancers were causing the crowd to scream gleefully. He was singing and doing his number. This is the song he's supposed to sing with Pancake! Where is she?!

Ayato got up from his seat and decided to sneakily make his way backstage.

He was blocked by one of Kou's management team.

"Out of my way!" Ayato barked.

"You have no entry to pass here. Please step back."

"I'm here to see someone! Move it!"

The man sighed. "Name please?"

"It doesn't fucking matter! Move!" Ayato was ready to knock the guy out. Out of the corner of his eye, Ayato noticed a beautiful platinum blonde girl with bouncing curls, stylized pink top, and ruffled pink skirt. Is that…

"H-He's with me." Yui said staggering towards them.

"Miss Komori you must be in-"

Ayato pushes the man aside and brings Yui close. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"My head hurts… I think my anemia…" She trails off.

"Get her something to drink now!"

The man nods and hurries off.

"Breathe… got it? Don't faint on me!"

"I'm such a nuisance… I'm sorry…"

"Damn right you're a nuisance! Stop saying sorry…"

He caresses her head. His fingertips liked the feeling of her hair.

"I couldn't perform with Kou today… I couldn't move, see, or sing… my body was limited…"

The man comes back with bottled water.

"Thank you…" Yui said.

Ayato picked Yui up and knew exactly where he was going.

(PAUSE)

The rooftop. Everything happened here.

They sat in silence.

"Are you okay now?" Ayato asked gently.

Yui nodded and smiled a little. "I am. Thank you."

Yui looked at the sky. "It's so pretty out here."

"Hm… I would never compare it to you. You're something special." Ayato stares at Yui and she stared at him with a surprised look on her face. She blushed.

"A-Ayato…"

"What?"

"A-Are you j-joking or…" Yui was such a mess.

"I'm not laughing Pancake." Ayato smirked at Yui's red face. "You don't believe me?"

"It's just… you always make fun of me for my appearance so I never expected you to compliment me."

"You're right." Ayato paused. "Do you still love me?"

"I...I…"

"If you love me… prove it. Climb over the gate."

"Uh…"

"Are you gonna do it? Heh. You're hesitating. I knew you loving me was a lie…"

Yui ran towards the gate and climbed over it.

"Pancake! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Ayato rushed to her, hands gripping hard on the bars.

"You told me to do it!" Yui shouted.

"I never expected you to do it!"

"My love for you has never faded away. So don't say I lied! I went to Ruki to make you… you… jealous! To prove your feelings towards me! You saw me as a prey! Possession! Food! I got sick of it…"

"To make me jealous…?"

The wind picked up and it caused Yui to fall back.

"Fuck! Pancake!"
