Ayato couldn't find her. Her scent just vanished. Ever since their argument that took place this morning, Yui had left the castle. And was somewhere in the Demon World trying to find her way into the Human World. Her words kept replaying in the back of his mind: "I'M DONE!" Ayato thought she was blowing some steam off and decided to take a quick nap. But it was actually a very long nap and his head felt a bit dizzy and when she wasn't next to him... Something was wrong.

She had left him for Ruki… and came back to him with a love confession. And now she was going to leave him for her father… and never return. I've gotta stop her!

Before Ayato could leave the castle, he paid a special visit to his father, Karlheinz.

"Open up you bastard!" Ayato yelled. He pounded at the door. He was heated and wanted answers.

"Come in, Ayato."

The door opened suddenly and Ayato walked in. "You know something, do you old man?"

Karlheinz sighed. "What are you upset about now, Ayato?"

"Why the fuck did you give her that damn letter?! Do you know that she could be in danger?!" Ayato slammed his fists at his father's desk in a threatening way.

"So you became aware of her lineage. As expected of my Adam."

"Cut the theatrics! She's on her way back to the Human World and I need a great sword and armor to protect myself against that bastard!"

"...You might need to figure out on how to save Eve yourself."

"What?" Ayato said darkly. Are you fucking kidding me? I vowed to obtain your head you fucking shitty old man!

"You danced with her even though you never helped when she was possessed by your fucking wife and now that she plays a role in your stupid projects… you won't help her?"

"You're going to be the next king, you must know how to handle your problems yourself without relying on others."

"Fuck… you…" Ayato said and slammed his fist on his desk, breaking it in half and he walked away.

I'm coming for you, Yui.

He entered his room and used his vampire senses to figure out where the demon entity went. How was he still alive? Was the old bitch alive too? Ayato didn't pick up Cordelia's scent. She's not here. Was Yui in danger with them around? He picked up the bed sheets and began to sniff them and he picked up a scent. Impossible… he never left.

"Show yourself you cheeky bastard! Enough games!" Ayato cried out. Silence.

He heard a mocking laugh. "What's so funny asshole?"

"I have said this multiple times now, she is mine." Richter said.

"No she's not! Stay the hell away from this house and her!"

Ayato felt his hands wrapped around his neck harshly and began to choke him.

"You...bastard." He gained energy and was able to let the entity release him.

"Cordelia has made her useless son into the best vampire he can be." Ritcher laughed. "It amuses me how someone who claims he's the best is about to receive his worst nightmare."

"Fuck you!" Ayato harshly said. "You and that old hag didn't raise me!"

"Don't you have business to attend to?"

Pancake…

"I'll deal with you later."

As Ayato was walking up to the door to leave the room without harming his useless uncle, he found himself juggling the door knob, which prevented him from leaving.

"I don't like how attached you are to Cordelia."

"Pancake is not that old bitch! And she's dead. You never did anything for her! You're just a useless puppet and the old man's shadow."

Ayato was slammed against the wall. Before he could even look up, he was punched in the face by the entity.

Another punch was about to be thrown but Ayato dodged it just in time.

"You are scum of the Demon World… You've disappointed your mother and the house! You can't even save your precious Eve!" Ayato was kicked in the stomach. Ayato groaned. "You have no idea what Eve is capable of doing. You know what she is but you play pretend."

Ayato wiped away his blood from his nose. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"You know she never left." Another punch connected his face. Ayato didn't know where Ritcher was and was not able to sense out his form. He was completely invisible to his sight.

"You… be quiet…"

"She's a weak human, but thanks to Cordelia's heart she'll make a great source of food… and a fulfilling mate."

Ayato's eyes quickly became daggers and his vampire abilities made his fist damage the entire room with just one hit.

The ground shook and he was breathing heavy, ready for anything. But deep down he knew that two more hits he'll be down. He wanted to set fire to the room but he didn't want anyone involved in the situation. Pancake…

"You never loved the girl did you?" Ritcher asked emotionlessly.

"Leave her out of this! I'm sick of everyone talking about her! I don't want her to be involved with your shitty games just like that shitty old man!"

"Hmm…" Ayato saw darts coming after him that pinned him against the wall.

"You treat her like shit so is she really yours? Are you upset over the fact that she's not necessarily human… but a replica of your mother."

He felt a dagger pierce his hip and he let out a grunt.

"You and I both know that girl isn't exactly human anymore. I promise to make a great bride. Farewell, Ayato. I hope you enjoy your time in hell. You never had much to offer in your life so considered this a gift."

More daggers stabbed him and sweat and blood fell to the floor.

She left me… again. Does she really want to see? I don't care what happens to her… Does she not know what her father's become? I should've said something! But she's stubborn and frustrating as hell! That annoying… flat chested… pretty face… makes me laugh… always puts up with me…

Ayato's eyes became a glowing green and with only matters of seconds, fire came rushing into the room.

"You! Just what the hell so you think you're doing!"

"You're an annoying man who tries to take my bride in order to be head of the family. You have no motive in your life at all and relied on that old hag to get you to where you'll be going soon. Which is straight to HELL." A scream was heard in the room and Ayato was able to to exit the room. He calmed the fire down and a servant came rushing to him. The servant's face was in shock by Ayato's bloody appearance.

"My lord are you alright!"

"No. Have you seen Yui, my bride?"

"I have not seen her. Is she I'll? Has she been attacked?"

Ayato ignored the servant. I have no time for this shit.

Ayato walked away from the servant and forgot one thing and turned around and said to the servant watching him. "Tell my father to be ready. I won't go easy on him."

(pause)

Ayato entered the castle's medical room door. He had asked all of his brothers about Yui's whereabouts and none could answer. Yui's blood sample was not ready yet according to Reiji when he asked. Ayato knew that his brothers' knew about Yui not being fully human. Her teeth were pretty fine to him last time he had checked. She had no desire for blood and showed some abnormal activity. She had an inhuman strength when she pushed herself away from him and saved herself from the vampire stranger with just one kick. I should've asked her what's wrong. Ayato decides when he finds Yui he's going to make sure her health is okay and asks her how she feels.

He saw his brother, Laito, laying down the bed with his eyes closed. He looked like he was finished healing himself up.

Ayato sat next on the chair and watched his brother's form. He went on savage mode. He lashed out on his brother and jumped into conclusions. Maybe that officially scared Yui away. He began to pick up a scent. She was here? What could she possibly want from here? Her scent didn't last here very quickly.

"Ayato… are you going to say something or be a creep?" Laito spoke with no amusement in his voice. He seemed disinterested. He still had his eyes closed.

"I… I didn't mean to lash out on you like that. I thought Pancake was in danger… but it turns it out it was all of Ritcher's doing."

Ayato explained everything to him. Laito was silent when he finished. He opened his eye. "I knew I smelled blood. You should heal up."

"I've got no time. I need to find Pancake. She left the castle and probably the Demon World."

"And why would she do that?"

"She wants… to see her father again."

"So she doesn't know?" Laito questioned as he sat up.

Ayato shook his head. "I never told her. She was in this room, I can sense her. Did you hear where she was heading to."

Laito nodded. "She was talking to that female servant. Ruby. It was something about wanting to assist her with something. I'm not entirely sure."

"Shit…" Ayato gritted his teeth. He wanted to punch something out of frustration. She could be in danger and he needed to play smart. "That servant better be honest with me!" Ayato angrily got up from his chair and before he walked out the door, he softened a bit and said to his brother, "I'll be back." Laito responded with a salute.

He went outside to the castle's garden and spotted Ruby planting new additions to the flower box. He spun Ruby around harshly and glared at her. "M-My lord…" she bowed in respect. Ayato noted her shaking voice.

"Where's the girl? And don't lie to me!" Ayato barked.

Ruby took a deep breath. "Please calm down my lord, slow down-"

Ayato grabbed her arms and said, "She is in danger! I have to find her!"

"D-Danger?!" Ruby said surprisingly. "What she said to me was-"

"She doesn't know what she's getting into! Hurry up and answer my question now!" Ayato was inpatient.

Ruby told Ayato to release him. "What?!"

"I will not repeat myself once more. Release. Me." Ayato growled. "You're wasting my time! Do you have any idea-"

Ruby swatted him away. And glared at him. "You are a disgusting revolting vampire sir! She has told me everything about you!"

Ayato listened to her rant. "She is tired of the relationship and wants nothing to do with you. She was in the medical room and told me everything about you. You were awful to her physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. She hasn't been the same girl she was before she entered your manor. She begged for my assistance. She wanted to meet her father badly and desired to go back to her normal life. So… I did a horrible thing. I told her to pack whatever she needed and I drugged you while you were sleeping to buy her some time. She told me she wasn't going to the Human World right away… she was going to find someone before she did."

Ayato was shocked by this statement. I was drugged? Fuck! Who was she looking for?

Ayato tried to remember the conversations they had these past weeks. It couldn't be Ruki and the Mukami brothers… or his own brothers… except…

"Masami." Ayato whispered.

Ruby's eyes widened. "How did you-"

Ayato ran away from the garden and went to the front gate of the castle.

Ayato learned three things: she was still in the Demon World, she was looking for Masami, and she's not blowing off some steam, she was serious.

Ayato began to look around and used all his abilities to search for her. She could be kidnapped in this fucking world!

A lot of negative thoughts rushed through his head. She could be… dead. Ayato was not giving up.

It felt as if the time had stopped for a moment. Ayato had almost forgotten the existence of time. He was fixated on one person: Yui.

Ayato noticed a figure walking slowly in the forest. Ayato picked up a familiar scent. It can't be…

Ayato walked up to the figure quickly and he was correct. The familiar figure was bloody and grunting angrily. Purple hair, psycho attitude, obsessed with sweet things… It was… "Kanato."
