This chapter was originally going to be short, but I decided to make it long! Sensitive content ahead deals with body insecurity.

Yui was with Ayato and the rest of the brothers in the game room. The brothers, except Shu who was sleeping on the couch, and Kanato who was in the Demon World, were all playing a card game. Yui was next to Ayato and laughed at the brothers' remarks towards each other. Tomorrow was the day they were supposedly going to see their father, Karlheinz. Reiji has made it clear today that they were all going because it'll make them be under a bad impression and it'll ruin the Sakamaki name. Ayato was upset and lashed out Reiji for making a such stupid decision and listed all the reasons why they should skipped it. It did not convince Reiji at all. It was settled. But at this moment the brothers were getting closer and bonding. It may be cruel, a bit sadistic, and unusual but it felt nice that they were all together. Yui had her arm linked with Ayato's, watching intensively at the game.

"Little Bitch is so cute~" Laito commented. "It is a bit unusual to see Ayato settle down and no go on a tantrum~"

"Ha! You mean Kanato." Ayato drew in another card.

"It'll be hard to find him in the Demon World, I must inform father right away." Reiji stated.

"He made the right call." Subaru joined. He drew in another card, cursing under his breath. "So now that Yui is taken, do we have to start hunting again?" The way he said taken made Yui a bit sad. It sounded a bit mean, condescending, and harsh.

"I'm sure father will send in another bride, if not we'll hunt." Reiji replied.

"Little Bitch's scent strengthens every day~" Yui sank into her seat, embarrassed.

"Shut up pervert." Subaru snapped.

The game finally ended with Subaru winning. Subaru smiled.

"I should've been in my lab. Instead I played a tiring game only to not win." Reiji got up and quickly exited the game room.

"Tch! Not fair!" Ayato yelled. "I was this close to winning this stupid game!"
"Relax Ayato~ You've won the bride." Laito winked at Yui, she looked away. "Besides this is Subaru's first win."

"I'll be in the kitchen. I'm starving."

"LIttle Bitch we miss your cooking!"

"She's not cooking for any of you bastards. She cooks for me and only me!"

"How cruel!" Laito said exiting the game room.

Yui got up and so did Ayato. Yui noticed Subaru's stare. His eye a glowing red. He shook his head and walked out.

I hope he's okay…

Ayato slammed Yui against the wall. "Look at you all romantic with me. Ha ha, it actually sickens me."

What? His eyes were a glowing green. It resembled a monster. Chaotic, possessive, and completely gone.

"Don't get too attached Pancake, you belong to me."

He moved her head to the side. His fingertips touched her neck slowly, disgusted by her neck. "Your complexion seems to be back. However… your neck is naked. It has none of my marks. I'll fix it."

He bit her neck. After a couple of drinks, he released his fangs from her neck, he went for her wrist, biting down and drawing blood.

"I want to cut you up." He said bring her wrist close to his mouth kissing it. "You've got a lot of guts to tell me what to do. Since when did you start caring about my shitty father?" He glared harshly at her.

Is he talking about yesterday? Yui thought to herself.

He pulled a sharp knife out of his pocket and brought it to her neck. "Maybe if I were to kill you right here and now… maybe I wouldn't have to go to his shitty anniversary."

"A-Ayato n-no!" Yui begged. This was terrifying. Just yesterday he was frantic about the event, but at the same time he was gentle.

He can't be serious!

He brought the knife to her leg and pierced her skin, drawing some blood and leaving a small wound. Yui screamed.

"Oi."

Yui had tears in her eyes, but she was able to see the figure in front of them. It was Shu. He was annoyed. His light blue eyes stared right into her sherbet pink eyes with a bit of disgust.

He was here all along!

"Reiji was right… take your activities to your room. You're being noisy." And with that he left.

"Lousy bastard…" Ayato murmured. He put his knife back into his pocket. He crouched down and began to lick her leg that had a small cut. "I can't let all this good blood go to waste…"

His tongue made Yui's skin hot. He had his closed and his hand restrained her thigh to keep her from moving.

"Your blood screams whore." Ayato commented after he finished.

Yui gasped. Ayato smirked.

That was mean! How can he say that?!

"It tastes better than your virgin blood."

He gave her a quick peck on her lips.

"Let's go to my room."

(pause)

Yui sat on his bed. Ayato kicked off his shoes and took something out of his couch. "Yo. Pancake."

"Yes?"

"Is it wrong to have this?" Ayato pulled out a porn magazine and waved it in front of her. Yui quickly looked away embarrassed. I heard it's normal for guys to have those things… but why show it? "Do I have to give it back to Laito now that we're… dating?"

The way he said dating sadden her. It was emotionless.

"T-That's-"

"You look nothing like them. You're flat as a board. The only great feature on your body is your legs." Ayato opened the magazine and showed her a page of a beautiful seductive nude woman with large breasts. The woman had an hourglass figure, dark hair, and lustful violet eyes. Yui looked away.

"That's not nice Ayato! I may not have what those girls have but at least… my blood tastes better!" Yui clasped her mouth. Why did I say that?!

"Cheeky." Ayato pinched her cheek. "It may be true."

"Ayato… I don't like you making fun of my body. And that nickname insults my body…"

"But you always respond to it. So you must've liked it, huh?" Ayato's sly smile appeared.

Yui sighed and got up from his bed.

"Oi! Where are you going?"

"To my room."

Yui reached for the door knob only to have Ayato hugged her from behind, preventing her. "Why do you keep insulting me… and our… relationship?"

"Remember what I told you? I don't want to be too attached to special things."

'"I've… you… Remember when I left your blood alone and went out sucking random girls' blood? The reason why I've sucked so much girls' blood was to keep you away from… death. My thirst was so fucking bad that I almost could've killed you if I drank any further. So I became a bit rough pushing you aside and hurting you when you didn't listen. I thought you were going to leave me and go after some bastard guy so I had to make it my first priority to take away your virginity. We grew a bit close… so I had to push you away when you confessed your dying love for me.. because I didn't think you were special. Until I realize… without you… I was miserable. I felt lost. Alone. I wanted to find you. I need you."'

Yui blushed lightly, remembering his words. She turned to face him. He lifted up her chin. "That cute face of yours is a great feature. Don't show it to anyone."

He kissed her softly on her lips. Ayato picked Yui up, not breaking the kiss, allowing her legs to wrap around his waist while his hands gripped her thighs. Yui was clinging to Ayato's shirt. Yui's face was red and her body was hot. They would break occasionally to catch their breaths. Yui couldn't stop thinking about that nude woman from Ayato's magazine…

When me and Ayato are one… does he feel satisfied even if I can't match his preferences?

Ayato walked towards the bed and set Yui down. He began to unbutton her blouse, revealing her bra. Her small chest cupped in a B cup size bra. She was skinny. She only weighed 99 pounds… She was seriously underweight. Yui wasn't responding to any of Ayato's intimacy which involved kissing everywhere around her chest area. Ayato stopped, looking at her.

"Pancake, what's wrong?"

"Can we… do something else?" Yui wasn't even looking at him. She was on the verge of tears. She couldn't get that woman's picture out of her head. She remembered Cordelia's harsh words… She was a beautiful woman too. Cordelia bashed and shamed her. It was a negative thought coming back in pieces...

"What?"

Yui pushed him off her and ran out of his room.

The hell is her problem? Ayato grunted.

(pause)

Yui spent the whole afternoon making meals. She was sweating and felt tired. Reiji questioned her unnatural behavior. Yui simply said she was incredibly hungry and wanted to make lunch for the brothers and herself. A smart cover up for the fact that she wanted to gain weight.

It was now evening time and she had five plates. The brothers were surprised by this. All were gathered in the dining room watching her.

"Slow down, Pancake!" Ayato snapped. She ignored him. She continued eating, forcing herself to get this last bite in.

"Goodness! What's wrong with you!" Reiji exclaimed.

"Little Bitch is freaking me out." Laito joined.

Subaru looked away, disgusted by her actions. He admitted that this was weird.

Yui felt her stomach growling and quickly left the dining room and went to the bathroom.

She crouched over the toilet and threw up. She was upset about the fact that she would probably lose weight because of this… She flushed the toilet and got up and began to lift up her shirt and stared at the bathroom mirror at her reflection. She felt gross. Her stomach was bloated but her chest wasn't bigger. Her thighs were still skinny. Her hair was greasy, her skin felt sweaty… Yui broke down to tears.

She left the bathroom and walked slowly to her room, only to see a package on her bed.

The package read: Karlheinz.

Oh yes! It's the dress!

Yui tore the box open and saw the beautiful red dress. It had a red rose sewn in, white pearls in the front, it had a nice fabric that was sweet to her fingertips. Yui smiled. She tried it on. She stared at herself in the mirror. Her stomach was poking a bit out, however she wished it was her chest poking out instead of being pushed back. She looked amazing. She just needed to fix her hair, skin… everything. Yui touched her chest.

I've been intimate with a vampire man… am I a woman trapped in a little girl's body?

The door burst open.

Standing in front of Ayato… was her. Wearing a lovely dress that fitted her nicely.

Yui hid her face embarrassed by the way Ayato was staring at her. "You hate it… don't you?"

"It looks okay. The old man has taste."

Yui looked away from him. She didn't know if that was a backhanded compliment or an insult.

"If you don't mind, I'm… changing."

"What's with you today? You were eating as if you had never eaten before!"

"It's natural to be hungry and desire more than one plate of food, Ayato." Yui responded. Her heart was beating by the way she was acting. She was being a bit rude and snappy today.

"Oi what's with this attitude?" Ayato questioned.

"Ayato please leave the room."

"Why should I? I've seen your body before, Pancake."

Pancake… How could I forget? I'm still a cardboard body Pancake.

"Get out."

Ayato walked up to Yui. He hand his hands on both her arms, noticing her hair covering her eyes and her fists shaking. "What's with you Pancake-"

Yui glared at him and began to push him out of her room with all her strength. She was successful and slammed the door shut in front of him.

Yui quickly removed the dress and slept on her bed with her undergarments crying.

Ayato stood in front of her door. He was angry, upset, and confused. What's with her? I didn't do anything!

He craved her blood and body. Did she no longer crave him?
