Previously: Yui opened her eyes but this time her pink eyes were replaced with green
Chapter 6
It was night time, Cordeila who had taken over Yui's body again was lying on a couch on the balcony in the living room, at her side was Richter who sat in a chair they were taking about their past.
"Nufu~Yes,that's right." Cordeila said, her and Richter had a few giggles until someone interrupted them, it was Reiji.
"What have we here?", they both looked down at him"I hears our uncle had a visitor. But I never imagined that visitor would be you."
"It's been a long time, Reiji if only you weren't so stiff you would look just like Karl from back when I first met him" commented Cordeila
"Please do not needlessly invoke my fathers name" Reji then push up his glasses "I find it seriously offensive"
"Nufu~Don't be so standoffish. Come closer"
"It is apparent that scheming comes as naturally as breathing to you" Reiji then suddenly appear on the landing, making Cordeila and Richter turn their heads in his direction.
"Reiji, must I explain? I want to stay vibrant as long as I live" Richter stood off and poured some blood (I think that's what it was) into a glass for Cordeila "I will tell you what I despise most. Boredom. Boredom is the most painful thing immortals like ourselves can endure. Wouldn't you agree"
"Yes, you have a point. Boredom doesn't suit you, death suites you much better" (Ooo, burn!)
"I will take that as a compliment" said Cordeila she then motioned for Reiji to sit down "Won't you sit over here? I would like to talk face-to-face." Reiji stood where he was, glaring at her."What's this? Are you being defensive? Nufu~ In that respect, your just like Beatrix. You suppress your emotions and try to hide how you feel. She ultimately met a useless, pathetic end", Reiji bit his lip which was noticed by Cordeila, she talked with glee. "Oh, my! Did I touch a nerve? Beatrix didn't seem to love you as much as she loved Shu, her eldest son, so I assumed you wouldn't mind if I slandered her."
"I see. So, this is how you turned my father and his brother, my uncle, on one another" commented Reiji, still glaring at her
"Are you suggesting I tore them apart? You make me sound like the root of evil. You could be right. I may be the reason Karl and Richter's once-friendly relationship deteriorated, nufu~"
"Their bond couldn't have been that strong if it could be ruined by a women like you" after Reiji said this Richter's eyes hardened, this made Cordeila laugh
"You are remarkably observant for a son of Beatrix. I like you even more" Cordeila then stood up and walked over to Reiji, as soon as she was close to him, she put her left hand on the back of Reiji's neck and pulled his face down a little "Your eyes look just like Karl's" she then used her other hand to take his glasses off and drop them onto the floor, she then moved hair out of his eyes "I will let you in on my secret out of respect for you eyes" she them moved her hand down to his cheek "I came back to life..." she then used her hand to opened his lips a bit and then moved her head into his shoulder "to take revenge on Karl. I will make him pay with his death", she then started to kiss his neck.
"Revenge for not loving you?"
"It appears you don't understand men and women yet. My desire to kill him is the greatest proof of my love"
"In other words, you want to push your love upon him, isn't that right?" Cordeila then moved her head back to face Reiji's
"You certainly are fond of speaking out of turn. I think I will silence that mouth of yours" Cordeila then leaned her face and and placed her lips upon Reiji's, after a few seconds Reiji wrapped an arm around her waist and closed his eyes, kissing her back. They soon broke apart.
"Please don't toy with me" whispered Reiji
"I am becoming interested in you as a man"
"And what of my uncle?"
"He doesn't object to whatever I chose to do. Now, let's continue. We have all the time in the world. Now, come" she leaned her face up again to kiss Reiji but he pulled his face back
"I think I'll pass. I am simply not attracted to corrupt women of loose mortals" Reiji said, Cordeila became angry and then,SLAP! Reiji had a red mark on his cheek but a voice caught their attention
"Come on, let's stop fighting. We're family" Raito was the one who caught their attention
"Raito"
"I thought the next time I saw you would be in Hell" he said, after all she was the daughter of the Demon King and a horrible mother as well
"I'm sorry I didn't live up to your expectations" Cordeila said, her smiling face was back
"No, this is better than I expected nufu~" Raito said with his same smile, just then Kanato walked to Ratio's side
"My little song bird...Please do entertain mommy with your beautiful singing voice like you used to"
"Mother, but how?" asked Kanato, he didn't understand why his mother was controlling Yui's body but he knew one thing: he didn't like it
"Oh, be quiet" said Subaru "Neither of you belong here" he then walked to where Raito and Kanato were "Get lost"
"You put on a good show, Subaru...despite your ability to protect your own mother" said Richter, Subaru turn angry
"Shut up!" he then jumped near Richter and aimed to punch him but Richter caught his fist and turned it but since Subaru was a vampire, he couldn't feel the pain of his broken wrist, he then tried to kick Richter but Richter let go of his wrist and moved back causing Subaru to miss. Subaru then landed on the ground behind Raito and Kanato who followed his every move.
"None of you can hope to rival me" Richter said, Reiji who was watching walked away (probably to where his brothers were) then a laugh was heard from Shu, he was laying on the couch
"Are you sure about that?"
"Nani?" asked Richter
"You're the one who's putting on a show" replied Shu
"Shu, what are you trying to say?" asked Richter, Shu then stood up from the couch and looked at Richter
"To KarlHeinz, head of the family, you don't even register as a rival" replied Shu
"Tch" Cordeila then walked to Richter's side
"Is this the best entertainment you can provide? You people are as dull as ever. The worst thing about this is that you all prevent me from being my vibrant self. Dispose of them" she then gave the sliver knife that Subaru gave to Yui to Richter "Immediately!"
"Why, this is Subaru's silver knife. I believe one stab through the heart with this is all it takes" said Richter looking at the knife
"Yes. They would disintegrate instantly, without pain. That shows how much I love them. Now dispose of them, and I will make you the next head of the family" commanded Cordeila
"Do you swear to make me the next head of the family if I kill them?" asked Richter
"Yes" replied Cordeila
"That's strange" Cordeila looked up to Richter with a confused face "Wasn't that already one of the terms of our agreement when I saved you as you lay dying?" asked Richter "You swore that if I saved your life, you would put me on the throne" Cordeila then latched onto his arm
"Richter, I will do anything you desire" she said in a sweet voice "Now hurry up and dispose of these boys. Do it for me"
"You are a fool" said Richter, Cordeila loosened her hold on his arm and looked at his face again "You are useless to me in your less-than pristine condition. All I need is your heart. As long as I awaken the girl who has your heart, and make her mine, I can become the next head of the family without your assistance" Cordeila let go of his arm and backed away from Richter with widened eyes
"Did you plan this from the moment I entrusted you with my heart?" she asked, she couldn't believe what he was doing to her
"Did you only just realize that?" he asked, he then turned to her "It is not you who is using me. It is I am using you" he then grabbed her arm and pulled her so that she fell on her back into his hands, he opened his mouth and was just to bite her next when
Dun, dun,dun!
Ayato appeared, Yui's hero!
"Hey, you!" he shouted, Richter stopped what he was doing and looked at Ayato, who was on the balcony with an angry look on his face "Would both of you shut the hell up? She, Yui, belongs to me so don't touch her!" Richter who had one of his arms wrapped around Yui's body, grabbed a sword from the sword collection on the balcony and pointed it at Ayato
"Do not interfere!" he shouted and then started to slash the sword at Ayato who dodged the sword but got half of his tie cut of
"Teme" Ayato whispered angrily
"Hey Ayato-kun!" shouted Raito as he chucked a sword to Ayato who caught it with ease
"Your free ride is over. I'll make you regret coming here!"
"And what do you think you can do about it?" asked Richter smugly, they then began clashing but soon Ayato was pushed back into a wall and got stabbed in the shoulder
"Damn" whispered Ayato, his hand let go of the sword, Richter smiled and pulled out the sword causing blood to spill out, as Cordeila/Yui saw this, her heart began to beat. Ayato put a hand on his wounded shoulder and fell to his knees
"Now stay still" commanded Richter as he raised his sword, Ayato gritted his teeth in anger but then...
"Ayato-kun!" said a sweet voice, Ayato looked up in surprise as he saw Yui with her pink eyes "I.." Richter looked at her surprise as well, Yui freed her self from his arms and managed to get back the silver knife, she than ran down the stairs looking back at Ayato, who looked at her wide eyed. She than stopped on the stairs and held the knife in her shaking hand but then she lifted the knife so that it was pointing at her. Everyone looked at her surprised and gasped. She then smiled
"Now no one will get hurt" she said and then stabbed herself, her body fell backwards but was caught in Ayato's arms
"The heart is mine!" yelled Richter as he aimed his sword but Ayato was fast and stabbed him with the sword he previously had fought Richter with his eyes showed anger. Richter dropped his sword and fell to the ground. Ayato looked back at Yui, with a desperate face
"Hey! Open you eyes!" he shouted, Yui did as he said but her eyes were green again, and her face with a cruel smile
"Only a foolish girl would stab herself. What a joke" his mother said
"Tch!"
"Her death and awakening are only a matter of time, and then both her body and soul will all be mine" she then fell unconscious, Ayato was angry and also worried. He was mad that his mother's heart was inside of Yui but he was worried that Yui's life will come to an end, he didn't know why he felt that way, but he knew that he will have to save Yui.
