Chapter 1 – Awake

"Yui? Can you hear me?"

The girl in question fluttered her eyes willing them to open. Ayato? Why did he sound like that? She tried opening her eyes, but they would not budge. All she saw was endless darkness. What was wrong with her? Why couldn't she get out of this dreadful place? Before she had time to panic further another voice filled her head.

"Somethings not right, she should have woken up by now." Reiji? Was that him? He almost sounded concerned for the girl.

"Why isn't she getting up? Teddy and I are thirsty" Kanato wined.

"Now, now Kanato we are all thirsty. Little Bitch smells even better than she did before." She easily recognized Laito's voice through her foggy mind.

All of the brothers began to try and talk over one another, arguing about who was going to get the first drink. Even Shu was adamant he should get to go first since he was the oldest.

"Yours truly should go first. I was her first everything."

"Not everything," Countered Subaru. "She's still pure isn't she?"

"The way she acts she should be" Shu's lazy voice drawled.

Why were they talking in such vulgar ways about her? Of course she was pure! She had to stay that way until she was married. As the brothers each made their claims about who should go first, Yui started becoming more distressed.

My throat, she thought, it's so dry. Why does it burn? Water I need water. She tried telling the brothers but her voice betrayed her. She was frozen unable to do anything.

Please help me she cried but no sound came from her mouth. Please God she prayed this torture would end soon. Make it stop. Just make it stop! She was wailing into darkness and the brothers still gave no recognition that they heard her pleas. Soon Yui's body began to shake on the inside and out. The six male vampires went silent as they saw her begin thrashing about on the bed. After a few moments she didn't stop and begin to violently claw at her arms then at the sheets beneath her.

The siblings were at a loss of what to do. They had no idea what was going on with the blonde haired girl or how to even stop her distress. None of the other sacrificial brides had even made it to this point, perishing long before the process of awakening began. They were not even sure that Yui herself would survive much longer if her body kept this up. Her heart started beating fast, as if it were going to burst from her chest. A shrill rose from her lips and bounced off the walls in the room.

Her own personal hell did not stop there. She continued making inhumane sounds, similar to an animal in agony. Soon the space became silent once more; arms falling to rest back on the sheet that had now pooled at her waist. No sound came from Yui at all, no sound of blood rushing through her body or even her heart beating within her chest.

There was no pleasant time of slowing waking up. One minute she was in total darkness alone with her thoughts the next, her eyes snapped open taking in the bright light around her. She could hardly think strait, her body no longer ached, in fact she felt as if she weight nothing at all. Slowly she sat up, looking around the room.

All the brothers were eyeing her with similar confused expressions. Yui sucked in a breath gazing around the room. Everything looked brighter and more colorful than she had remembered her room being. Eyes shifting towards the brothers she noticed they too looked different than before. You would have to be blind to not know they were handsome, but now they were even more breathtaking.

She was soaking in all the sights when something else attacked her senses. A heavenly smell filled her nose and refused to leave. It smelled wonderful in her room, something sweet but also sour. She couldn't quite put her finger on where she smelled this sensation. Before she could investigate the smell further, the pain in her throat returned. Burning even more than than it had.

Was she sick? She had never felt this way even on her sickest days. The burning mixed with the dry sawdust feeling in her caused her to nearly gag. She brought her pale hands to her mouth and then to her throat. Water, she just needed a little water. She looked toward the males in the room. They had yet to speak let alone breathe since her eyes opened.

Ayato was the first to move, he pulled a glass of what she assumed was cranberry juice out of no where and gave it to her. Unfortunately she didn't realize how weak she had become and if not for his quick maneuvering the glass would have split all over the bed. She though Ayato would call her clumsy or stupid but to her astonishment he retrieved the cup and held it to her lips while she drank.

While the cool liquid did feel refreshing, it still was not enough to make the pain disappear. As she finished her juice something caught her attention, the smell was stronger now. Was this smell coming from Ayato? She peered up at him through long lashes and moved closer to him. At first he tried to jerk away but she was able to grab weakly at the back of his neck and hold him closer to her.

Yui moved toward his collar bone and rested her head against him. She inhaled deeply, yes this smell was coming from him. The blond licked her lips, she could almost taste it, her tongue darting out of her mouth. Before she could make contact there was a swirl of air that hit her face. When she opened her eyes Ayato was no longer in the room.

Laito was the first to speak interrupting the silence.

"Well isn't this interesting. Little Bitch made our dear brother run from the room like a scared cat."

The others did not find the situation as funny, looking from the spot where Ayato once occupied to the girl on the bed.

Yui's entire body began to scream at her. She just needed to taste whatever Ayato had.

"What's wrong with me?" She cried looking toward Reiji. She put her head in her hands covering her eyes from the brothers.

"What do we do with her now? She's all whiny and that will upset Teddy" Kanato stated, then left the room without so much as a pop.

"She needs to feed. That's why she is acting this way." Shu droned dropping to the chair by her vanity.

Feed? What where they going to feed her? She would do anything to make the pain stop.

Reiji inched forward to sit beside her on the bed. Moving her hands away from her head, with the most gental manner she didn't know he possessed.

"Yui." He said softly "Look at me."

Still refusing to meet his eyes she turned her head toward him, but kept her eyes on the far side wall. Sighing Reiji took his hand and moved her chin forcing her to look at him. His eyes were so breathtaking, almost mesmerizing. She closed her eyes once again trying to gather her thoughts. She gasped when she felt a pair of soft lips on her own. Which he took as an invitation to pour a liquid from his mouth to hers.

She tried fighting him, pushing her hands to his chest trying to shove him away. As more liquid filled her mouth her hands pushing him away, fisted in his shirt pulling him closer. When he finally pulled away, she was daze still high off the kiss. He smirked at her.

Subaru hissed at his brother, "Why did you have to be the one to feed her?"

"What like you wanted to do it little brother?" Mocked Laito, "You don't have the balls to do something like that."

The two continued to bicker back and fourth, Shu chiming in for them to be quiet.

"What's going on?" Yui asked again in a small voice.

Reiji smirked at her before answering, "Why darling, you have become one of us."
