A/N: I continued out of my own curiosity and accord.

Summary: After waking up a century later, Elizabeth is sent over to live with the Mukami's as the second Eve. She's treated as insurance for the first. Due to her scent, she catches the attention of the brothers. Currently, apart from Yuma, the other three have departed in search of her things.

That Evening – Mukami House

While adjusting to my new surroundings, I wondered why they took me before I even attended class. I was dressed in my uniform too. It would have been my first day with the instruction, but I guess it was sent from the same person they get theirs from. It just seemed all too coincidental.

"Oi…Sow…While they get your things and check in, you are to stay at the house at all times. Disobey, and I'll lock you up without supper." Yuma threatened me. I was sitting on the couch still, looking at the doorway where the three had disappeared though.

"Understood." I reluctantly agreed. I didn't want to cause trouble, especially if these people were working for the man that rescued me.

"Tch. I suppose I should give you a tour of the house." He said getting up from the couch. "We don't have an extra room, so you'll be staying in one of our rooms. Since it's all new to you, we'll let you choose when the others get back."

I merely nodded, I didn't know these men, but I felt like I knew Yuma. "If it's not too much trouble, is it okay if I stay with you for now?"

"You're a very eager sow", He smirked leaning over me on the couch. He placed his hands on both sides of me, preventing me from escaping. All I could do was lean as far back into the couch as I could. I wanted to be enveloped by the cushions at this rate – Anything to take back what I said.

"Yuma…I –", I clenched my eyes closed tightly. I was afraid to open them as I could feel his shadow hover over.

"You smell wonderful." He placed a hand on my inner thigh.

Out of distress, I yelled, "Brother, you mustn't do this!"

I opened my eyes after hearing my own words. Did I just call him, 'brother'?

"Your brother isn't here." He glared at me. I guess I must have startled him as well because he backed away from me. "Come with me. I need to change, but I don't want you to try and leave while I have my back turned, so let's go."

Yuma's Room

I never paid it attention before, but Yuma's really tall. If Edgar was still around, he'd probably be the same height. Save me, Edgar…

When Yuma closed the door behind him, I heard him lock it as well.

"Here." He replied tossing some clothes over in my direction. "It isn't luxury like you may be used to, but it's what I've got. I don't think Kou wants to do more laundry today, so just take this for now. Hang your uniform over there." He pointed over to a large armoire.

"W-what about school?" I asked simply because I was expecting to finish at least one lesson today.

I heard him exasperatedly sigh, "So annoying." He removed his uniform, revealing a scar to me. My brother has that same scar. I stared at him too long. He had noticed me looking and painted that same grin on himself as before, "If you're turned on, we can do it in here while we wait."

I shook my head vigorously. "No. No. I'm fine."

I turned around to face away from him. "H-How'd you get that scar?"

"Hm?" He chuckled softly, "You have a lot of questions than you let on. How about you be a good sow and change now." His voice grew closer. I had looked away, but I could hear him walking towards me.

"Is there a bathroom I can use?" I didn't want to change in front him. It was embarrassing.

He placed his arms around my waist and held me close to his chest. "I can't watch you from there." He whispered into my ear. I can't move. He's holding me too tightly… "You're getting excited just by this?" He smirked. I could feel his chin placed on the top of my scalp. I even heard him trying to sniff my hair. Almost inaudibly, he hushed, "You smell familiar."

His grasp on me loosened gradually, and I was able to slip out of his hold. "If I change here, please…at least don't look at me."

I was blushing, but it was because here I was, a girl in a boy's room. However, the fact that he looked like my brother made me feel slightly at ease. As smoothly as I could, I began removing my clothes. I could feel his eyes burn into me as he watched, but when it got down to me being in just a bra and underwear, he turned away. Despite what he had said, I could feel Yuma was a good guy. Is he blushing? I could detect some scarlet color to his face as I saw his side profile turn away.

When I was finally dressed, we heard Kou call from the bottom of the stairs. "Yuma? K Rabbit?~ We're home."

K Rabbit? I repeated in my head, but I didn't know what he meant.

"Tch. Help us make dinner, otherwise, we'll just use you as substitute." Yuma pushed me towards the door. His blush was still lingering on his face as he forced me out of his room.

Dining Room

Ruki was in charge of the cooking. He told everyone else to help prepare the meal. I was in charge of harvesting some tomatoes with Yuma.

"Sow, just so we're clear, this is my farm and garden. I planted all these crops for us to use and I don't want you snooping around here without me, got it?" He shoved a basket onto my stomach.

"Got it." I remained timid towards him. Edgar loved harvesting. He especially loved –,"Mmph!" I was startled as Yuma shoved a tomato into my mouth.

"Harvest cherry tomatoes that are bright red and juicy like that one. Ruki's planning on using it for some salad." He said, while placing a bunch of various vegetables into his basket.

"Do you like sweet cherry tomatoes, Yuma?" I wondered if he liked them like my brother did.

With a small grunt of approval, he moved on further away from me. "Hurry up. If Ruki finishes before we do, we won't have tomatoes for the salad and I'll have to drink your blood instead."

I quickened my pace and gathered as many ripe tomatoes as I could. So many of them look delicious, Yuma must have worked really hard on this garden. I found myself admiring his work and at the same time, I was starting to enjoy his company as well.

This one is extremely ripe! I reached for a tomato, smelling the freshness from it. It reminded me of that dream I had. I think my parents had a farm too. As I was about to remove the flecks of water on it, Yuma realized I was still lagging behind.

"O-iiiiii! You better not be eating the tomatoes behind my back." From the position I was in, it really did seem like I had been.

"I-I'm not! I promise!" I held out the basket of ripened tomatoes to him.

For a second, I thought I saw him smile. "I'm not sure I believe you…" He squatted down in front of me and as I was about to open my mouth to apologize for taking so long, he inserted his fingers. "I guess you really didn't eat them. After a deep inhale from his nose, he held me down against the dirt. "I just want a small taste." He said as he buried his fangs into my shoulder. His eyes grew wide, at his first lick of my blood. "It's sweeter than a sugar cube." I could feel him draining me even more, but his tender licks to where his fangs had punctured my skin were relieving.

"Yu…Yuma…I can't…" I was having trouble breathing as he pushed his weight down onto my body.

Withdrawing his fangs, he licked his lips. His face was sullen, like a scolded child as I pushed him away. "Leave!" He shouted, startling me as I tried to get up and brush the dirt off the clothes I had borrowed. "Go and…Help Azusa…Just stay away from me…"

I was confused, I didn't know if I hurt his feelings. If anything, I just wanted to pretend he was my brother, but when things had escalated that far that he ended up sucking on my blood, I was also hurt. I held down on the afflicted area, hoping the blood would clot and it surely did. After coming back inside, I washed my hands and looked for Azusa in the kitchen. Hearing the sound of a dog whining in the next room.

Kitchen

Azusa and Ruki had been working hard on cutting up remaining vegetables for a soup.

"Don't just stand there, help Azusa cut the rest of the mushrooms." Ruki scolded me after trying out the soup.

The smell of garlic was in the air as well. "Is it okay to be using garlic for the soup?" I was bewildered that they would eat it, I thought it acted as a repellent to vampires.

"Don't be stupid. That's all a made up story that humans created. Garlic, crosses, and the like have no affect on us. Mind you, Kou doesn't really mind garlic, but the scent makes him upset. It has no correlation to your mythology."

"Oh…" I replied, standing next to Azusa who had been busily chopping away.

"Justin is very excited right now. Your scent intrigues him." He smiled as he cut into a gash on his arm.

"Azusa, please don't do that!" I said as the cut spilled droplets of blood on the cutting board.

"Tsk. Azusa, clean up the cutting board and throw away the mushrooms that have blood on them." Ruki sighed as he heard our commotion.

"Allow me." I lifted the board for Azusa and disposed of the unusable vegetables. "Here." I held his hand and helped him bandage it back up. I had cleaned up the cut and disinfected it, allowing for proper bandaging. "You should probably go rest. Perhaps you're a bit too tired after moving my things."

"Eve…Don't leave me…" He said as he leaned his forehead on my collarbone.

"I'm not leaving Azusa, I'm just – !" His fangs burrowed right onto my chest. "Stop! That hurts!" I tried to remain calm, but the bite, so close to my bones was painful.

The scent of my blood had garnered even Ruki's attention. He clasped onto my back and started to bite on the opposite shoulder as Yuma's bite. They aren't supposed to…do this…are they? The sound of their drinking started to make me warm.

"Heh…You like the attention don't you cattle?" Ruki whispered as he bit harder into my flesh. "We were told that we can drink from you because you're the second. It seems things are going well with the first, so we don't need to be gentle with you. All that's important, is that you remain alive." He licked me, just as Yuma had and cast Azusa away from me.

"S…s-stop!" I begged him. I couldn't move my arm. He was taking too much blood that I started to feel dizzy.

With sheer luck, Yuma had returned from gathering the vegetables and placed them on the counter, pushing Ruki off of me. "I SAID I'D HANDLE HER!" He raised his voice to his brother.

Ruki licked his lips and shoved him back. "You didn't even know we were allowed to drink from her and you had already done so anyway!" He grabbed my arm and pushed my shirt over my shoulder, revealing Yuma's bite marks. As Ruki was about to punch Yuma, I stood in front of him. I wasn't sure why, but in my heart, I wanted to protect Yuma.

The kitchen filled with silence.

Same Day – Sakamaki Manor

Crash!

The sound of glass breaking echoed in the unlocked room as the brothers gazed upon their first Eve.

"My bad…I knocked it over…" Normally, Shu wouldn't have made the mistake of bumping into something when his brothers were attempting to have a meal. However, something about the air was different. He could definitely smell the fear and blood in Yui, however there was a very faint aroma that didn't belong to anyone in the room. It was the smell of apples.

Ignoring the scent, he allowed his brothers to continue. He was listening to a song that he hadn't heard in awhile. It was her song. With that, he left the room and headed back into his room, sleeping on a couch on the far wall. In his mind, he wondered why of all times…she had crossed his mind.

The Next Morning – Yuma's Room

A loud sigh came from behind me, "Ah…You really are such a stupid woman." Yuma yawned seeing my face wake up to him.

I rubbed my eyes, "Did you not sleep?"

He rolled his and seethed at me, "I could have taken the hit, but you had to get in the way didn't you?"

"S..Sorry…" I muttered softly.

"Now you want to be apologetic? If Ruki had killed you, it would have been our heads on a platter for the aristocratic vampires!" He groaned as he laid on his back staring at the ceiling.

I attempted to get up, but a headache had stopped me. I could feel a lump on my cheek bone.

"He really did try to hurt me yesterday." Yuma thought aloud as he used his thumb to rub my cheek. "I was out of line though…"

In a regretful manner, he kissed his thumb where my bruise was.

"You remind me of my brother. He has a temper just like you." I laughed as he frowned.

"You think I have a temper?" He smiled again. He looks just like you when he smiles.

I started to cry. I missed my brother, more and more seeing Yuma's face. I just wished that Yuma could be in his place. That he could take the place of my brother. He could never take that place in my heart, just in the physical world.

Perhaps out of pity, Yuma hugged me. I could feel the cool touch of his fingers as they ran through my hair. I've missed you…

Afternoon – Mukami House

I spent the morning tending to Yuma's garden, tilling the soil, picking the ripened vegetables, and talking to Yuma. I wanted to know him, to know about him. Unfortunately, Yuma was in an even worse predicament than I had been in. He recalled nothing of his past. He even vaguely mentioned having trouble sleeping. It helped me understand a bit more about him. It made me want to protect him. I wanted nothing more, than to stay by his side as a way to repent and atone for ignoring Edgar's pleas for me not to run off.

"So…Why can't we go with the others to school?" I wondered as he remained in his normal clothes. He refused to follow the others to Ryotei where we had met the day before. Günter stayed at home with us, to watch the house.Günter, you traitor… He waited patiently for everyone's return. Apparently, he and Kou bonded the day before.

"…We can't let them know you exist. There is another sacrificial bride that's currently living over there, she has a half-demon, half-vampire heart. Unfortunately for you, that means having been made out of an apple's core, you can't really do much. Just know that you were Eve." He explained as he collected some carrots.

"…Apple core?" I furrowed my brows.

He rubbed the back of his neck feeling the sun on it, "I think it's better if you know less. I don't quite trust you, but I'm letting you know at least a few things. Be satisfied with that."

"O…Okay, but who is 'they'?" It seemed too wide of a market for no explanation.

He hung his head, wiping the sweat off the top of his brow. "Spoiled, rich, bastards."

I didn't want to press him anymore; he looked like he was tired. I just continued my chores with him in silence.

That Night – Kitchen

"Ah-ah. So, you're okay?" Ruki placed a finger on my bruise pushing it down.

"That hurts! Quit it!" I slapped his hand away.

He moved towards the fridge and grabbed something out of the freezer. An ice pack?

"Here." He threw it on the countertop next to me. "Put it on your bruise." Under his breath, I could hear him huff out that I was a pain to babysit.

"Thanks…I guess." I lifted the pack off the counter and placed it on my cheek.

"It's the scent you give off." He replied quietly. "Try not to get bitten again."

I nodded and sat at the table.

"Dinner is ready." Azusa called out, taking over some leftover food that I missed yesterday.

At the end of the day, the five of us ended up eating our meals together. Kou had even brought food for Günter. I wonder if there really is a fine line between vampire and human. Sometimes, even I find it hard to tell…

A/N: I just wanted to shine a bit more light on Yuma/Edgar this chapter. Elizabeth doesn't realize it yet, but when Yuma bit into her, he felt something inside of him recognize her blood and refused to partake of it any further. He regretted his actions, the same way Edgar regretted yelling at Elizabeth all those years ago.

For Ruki and Azusa, her blood gave them insight to their forgotten memories. It was as if they were having deja vu. It also gave them a bit of an energy boost as Yui's blood does for the brothers.
