Chapter 27
"You're on your own now, little boy!"
Azusa watched in disgust as a joyful Laito skipped down the remainder of the hallway and towards, what Azusa assumed to be, his bedroom. The entire mansion was eerily quiet aside from an annoying buzzing sound that resonated within him as music. Shu Sakamaki had been known for blasting music into his headphones and to be close enough to hear it was not where Azusa wanted to be. He did the only thing he knew to do and ran.
As the boys filtered out of their rooms in defensive form and armed themselves to face the intruder, the intruder himself could do nothing but run and think. It occurred to him suddenly that he in fact had no reason anymore to confront Ayato, for this time he had hand delivered his lover to his arms in a basic message that would ring in the sadistic vampire's ears as "Do what you want with her!" But the faster he ran and the more blood that flowed throughout him at a dangerously alarming rate, the more he began to see that it was so much easier to be angry at Ayato for what had been done than be mad at himself for it.
"Aren't you ready yet, Pancake?"
"I'm trying!"
Speaking to Ayato in such a manner was something that Yui rarely had done but the frustration of trying to squeeze into the tiny gown was too overwhelming to simply avoid as she normally would. She instantly regretted it. Without a moments notice, the hot headed boy came bellowing through the doorway, knocking the lock off in a swift motion, and caused Yui to practically leap out of the dress that was falling just beneath her hips. "I saw that they had fattened you up quite a bit but good Lord, you're practically a sausage!" Ayato grabbed the white dress by it's straps and attempted to yank it up over her now slightly protruding belly, pulling on it so hard that it began to tear down the dress' front. "Stop it!" Yui cried as the dress tore even louder. After a few more jerks and a huff of anger, the scared girl finally gained the courage to slowly turn around and stare into the eyes of the completely enraged Ayato Sakamaki.
The screaming was something Azusa had grown accustomed to but when the shrieks were almost instantly to be recognized of those coming from Yui, his heart started pumping faster. She's alive, he thought to himself gleefully, screaming but alive. The newfound energy fully overpowered him and the usual sluggish Azusa turned into a vampire charging at full speed. He was bounding after his woman and with that energy came an entirely new sight of both courage and carelessness, for he surged through the locked door to Ayato's bedroom and was greeted by a horrifying sight.
"You're just in time!" The violet haired vampire squealed at the foot of the door after Azusa had stumbled over him and fallen flat on his face. He turned his head to be eye to eye with Kanato, who was clutching onto a pathetic ragdoll teddy bear that was clearly modeled after the one he himself had destroyed. Kanato smiled at him with a toothy grin and kicked his feet in a childlike excitement. "He's about to cut it out of her, you must watch!" His voice was shrill and echoed with a morbid, gleeful anticipation. It was haunting but nothing compared to what he saw next.
With his energy drained all at once from the fall, a tired Azusa clumsily dragged himself up to his feet and stood beside Kanato who was now clinging onto one of his legs, both in excitement and to keep him still. Though he was small, his grip was tight as ever. Even that distraction couldn't tear Azusa's eyes away from Yui. She was fully naked, aside from the white dress that was draped around her ankles, and was being held by Ayato himself. He used one hand to reinforce her bounded wrists and the other to clutch a dagger that was just about to pierce her belly. His concentration had been broken but nonetheless, he was happy. "I'm glad you're here, for once," Ayato teased. Yui was sputtering something but Azusa tried not to pay close enough attention, he was more focused on Ayato and the dagger itself. "I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss seeing your own baby. Hold tight while I carve it out, will you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Yui cried out in loud howls, the only part of her now moving was her face. Even in the pure state of panic, she knew that any other part of her disobeying would be enough for him to knick the blade against her belly and slice even through her now inflated uterus. The thought of her insides spilling out on the floor beneath them and staining the white wedding gown was making her head spin yet she continued to plead. "Please Ayato, this is all silly!" Her eyes met with Azusa's, whose gaze was bewildered. He simply gawked at her. He was speechless. "Tell him, Azusa-kun!" She cried, "Tell him I'm not pregnant!" But he wouldn't speak. With the lack of words between them and the continued screams of the fearful girl, Ayato suddenly broke out into hysterical laughter which only fueled the tension and caused Kanato to squeal even louder. "Perhaps Laito-kun was right to call you little bitch; you sure do act like one!" His grip tightened around her wrists, causing her to yelp out against the sharp pain, and he pressed the blade slightly against her swollen stomach. With the silence of Azusa and the realization that he was the one to put her in the situation, Yui stopped. She was left to do nothing but accept defeat.
