Chapter 22
My New Home
"I can sense them coming," Ruki muttered.
"Who?" I asked.
"Those damn Sakamaki brothers?" Yuma grunted.
"Yeah." Ruki nodded.
A couple of days have passed since Karl came for a visit and ever since then the Mukami brothers and I have been paranoid; afraid when and where the Sakamaki's would try and kidnap me.
"Where should we hide our Neko-chan?" Kou pouted.
"I say the dungeon," Ruki answered.
"Good…Idea." Azusa nodded.
"Dungeon?" My voice shook.
"It will be fine. After we kill off the Sakamaki's, you will stay with us forever," Yuma grinned.
I felt my heart growing warm. This is all I want, to be with these four brothers. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else…
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"They're here! Azusa, take Skylar to the dungeon!" Ruki ordered.
"All right. Come, Skylar." Azusa grabbed my wrist and dragged me downstairs to the creepy dungeon. There are three jail cells and it's like a scary dungeon you would see in movies, dark, full of cobwebs, and iron bars.
"Stay here," Azusa said in a low voice before leaving me.
I went on my knees and prayed. I hope all the Mukami brothers make it out alive.
*~*~*~*~Adam & Eve~*~*~*~*
I can hear footsteps coming this way! Is it over? I frowned when Subaru is the one who came down to see me. This isn't good… Where are the Mukami brothers?
"Come with me," Subaru ordered coldly.
I stared at him with widening eyes. His eyes are glowing red and his voice is giving me chills.
"What happened to the Mukami brothers?" I asked in a whisper.
Subaru grunted. "It doesn't matter…"
"Subaru, be gentle. She's fragile after all," A vampire I have never seen before appeared before us. He has reddish hair with green eyes. He's pale and very slender plus he's wearing a black fedora hat.
"Tsk! We just need to get her back to the mansion in one piece, Laito!" Subaru muttered.
So, this vampire is named "Laito".
"Come, little bitch," Laito winked.
"Get away from me!" I screeched as Laito went to grab me.
"Stop!" Yuma roared before he tackled Laito to the ground.
"Yuma!" I cried out! He's okay; I was worried.
"You're no match for us!" Laito snapped but he's struggling under Yuma. Yuma has a real tight grip on him yet Subaru didn't hesitate to help his brother by kicking Yuma's side.
"Gah!" Yuma grunted.
"Yuma!" I went to run over to him until Laito got off the ground and grabbed me so I wouldn't be close to Yuma.
"No, stop!" I tried to struggle but it's no use!
"Damn, what a pain!" ANOTHER vampire appeared before us. He has red spiky hair and green eyes… Oh, it's Ayato!
"Subaru, stab him with that silver knife," Ayato smirked.
Subaru pulled out a small silver knife and walked up to Yuma. He then pressed it against Yuma's heart…
"You know once he stabs Yuma's heart, he will be gone forever," Laito whispered in my ear.
I gasped and cried out. "Stop, I'll go with you but please don't kill him!" I pleaded while tears are running down my face.
Subaru turned his attention to me as he still had the knife pressed against Yuma.
Yuma went to attack Subaru but Ayato stabbed him in the stomach with his sword! Yuma's cries echoed throughout the dungeon…
"Please, don't hurt him anymore! I said I would come with you!" I begged.
"Let's go," Subaru muttered.
"What about him!?" Ayato snapped.
"Leave him. Our goal was only to get the girl," Subaru answered.
"Yeah, he's nothing special anyways!" Laito laughed out loud.
Yuma is still lying on the ground and he is struggling to get up but he's badly injured. He must've put up a fight upstairs because his clothes are torn and he has bruises all over…
I'm still in Laito's arms as him, Ayato, and Subaru left Yuma in the dungeon. I couldn't help but cry. I'm never going to see Yuma ever again… I feel broken.
I love him.
*~*~*~*~Adam & Eve~*~*~*~*
Subaru, Ayato, and Laito took me to a huge mansion where I'm guessing is where they are living. I'm immediately introduced to another Sakamaki brother I have never seen before.
His name is Reiji and he wears glasses and has purple hair and red eyes. He's dressed rather formally…
He must be the one who burnt down Yuma's home village. I remember that name!
Of course, I didn't talk about it as Reiji lectured me about the rules around their home. I didn't really pay attention because I kept thinking about Yuma…
Subaru showed me to my guestroom and I immediately sat on the foot of the bed. I wish I were on my OLD bed in the Mukami's mansion…
"He'll come back," Subaru muttered before leaving me alone.
Huh? Does he mean Yuma?
I shook my head violently and took a deep breath. There are six vampires in this household. It's strange that I thought four in a household was too many but six?!
I didn't hesitate to go up to the bedroom door and lock it. I know these vampires can easily appear in front of me but maybe they will get the hint that I don't want to be bothered… Who am I kidding?
I need a plan to get out of here. I don't want any of them to bite me!
*~*~*~*~Adam & Eve~*~*~*~*
I'm pacing around the guestroom until Laito, Ayato, and Kanato appeared before me. They all have large grins on their face while I slowly backed away from them.
"I'm thirsty!" Kanato whined.
"Me too. Give us some of your blood, little bitch!" Laito laughed out loud.
I tripped over a rug and fell on the floor. I held my arms above my head as they kept coming closer and closer…
"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Yuma appeared and slammed Ayato against the wall.
Kanato immediately ran out of the room while Laito tried to hit Yuma in the back but Yuma sensed Laito and kicked him in the gut.
"Damn!" Laito fell on the ground.
"Yuma!" I called out as Yuma kept punching Ayato in the face. Yuma is obviously still injured really badly. How can he fight right now?
Yuma let Ayato fall on the ground and Ayato is unconscious but Yuma went to go after Laito until Laito admitted defeat.
Yuma didn't waste any more time as he picked me up in a cradle and jumped out of the window.
I nuzzled into his chest as Yuma is running a fast pace.
"We can't go back to the mansion. We have to come up with a plan to make sure they don't kidnap you again," Yuma said sternly.
"Are your other brothers okay?" I asked softly.
"Yeah, they are fine," he answered.
"Thank you for saving me, Yuma…"
"Tsk! Don't tell me you had your doubts?"
"Of course not," I whispered.
Yuma and I locked eyes as he is still running a fast pace. I feel safe again in his strong arms. Yuma risked his life for me…
