"Oi Chinchinashi, where have you been?" A voice said and Yui looked over to see Ayato walking over to her. She was standing in the rose garden her fingers lightly touching a silky petal as he walked to her and when she turned her body to face him and he walked forward sliding her hair away from her shoulder lightly and she pushed him away quickly.

"No Ayato. I'm to weak! I won't be able to take much more of my blood being drawn today." She said a bit coldly as she looked at Ayato who narrowed his eyes at her grabbing her arms and pulling her to him a bit harshly as he looked down into her eyes, a clash of green again pink.

"You don't have the right to deny me your blood. You've known this from day one, so don't waste your breath resisting now." Ayato said his voice sounding cold and stern but something had flickered in his eyes when she denied him.

To her it looked almost like a panicked worry but it had been gone before she could really analyze it and before she could say anything more his fangs pierced her neck making her gasp and her hands grabbed onto his upper arms tight as a small sting went through her neck but even so feeling his arms around her was warm and secure, something she wanted to stay bundled up in forever strange as that sounded but just as her eyes slid shut and she felt she could relax into the strange embrace the clicking of shoes reached her ears and she opened her eyes to see a flash of pink hair.

"Ayato! What the hell are you doing?" The voice said and her voice was light and airy almost but still smooth like silk as she glared at Yui as she was released, her bite wounds trickling a little blood down her neck and Ayato rubbed the blood from his mouth as he looked evenly at the girl.

"Akari I don't think it should really concern you." Ayato said evenly despite Yui's embarrassment when she stepped away from him then ran past Akari quickly her feet hitting the ground lightly like she was barely touching it and the faint sound of Akari yelling reached her ears but she just kept running her arms pumping at her sides slightly and her hair blew away from her shoulders and face. Akari. . She reached the big front doors and she reached a hand out to push them open as the air slipped into her lungs feeling to sharp and painful, her heart pounded and her chest felt like something was sitting on it strangely and her hands and arms were quivering strangely and just as she touched the door-

It was the low beep that woke Yui from that dream, the blackness then coiled around her as the image disappeared and she knew she needed to wake up but right then she just felt to tired to even do it but the beeping was getting a bit annoying to her. She could literally feel her heart beating in her chest, each thump heavy yet hard, felt her lungs contracting to pullin in a breath and it felt surprisngly like someone had set her veins on fire inside of her and she was losing a grip on herself in a way that was a bit scary.

She knew she was going to remember but again, was it worth to remember? She struggled to open her eyes which only resulted in the fluttering of her eyelashes and her brows pulled together tightly as she tried to open her eyes when someone griped her hand tightly and she twitched her hand in an effort to squeeze back but when she did a burning went through her wrist surprisingly and finally she was able to get her eyes open. The world was way to bright, the light burning her eyes and she groaned closing her eyes immediately turning her head burrowing her face into the pillow.

But it was the muffled sounds of someone encouraging her to open her eyes reached her ears faintly over a buzz ringing in them that grew with each minute she became more aware of her body. She opened her eyes slowly again, letting her eyes grow slowly accustomed to the light and when she did she realized she was in a hospital bed and in a hospital room. She blinked gently a couple times looking around seeing each of the Mukami brother's staning by the wall looking at her and she turned her head softly to look at the orgin of the hand holding hers and her pink eyes met her mothers dark jade colored ones.

"Oh Yui, you have no idea how long I've been longing to see those eyes to open." Aika crooned out gently reaching her other hand up stroking Yui's hair away from her forehead softly with her palm gently.

"Wha. . . What happened?" Yui asked, her voice hoarse and rough with sleep but her throat was also dry as all hell as she stared at her mother who sighed out gently stroking the back of Yui's hand gently.

"I was hoping you could answer that." She replied continuing to move Yui's hair back softly and gently in a soothing rhythm that Yui closed her eyes briefly too then opened her eyes again squinting a tiny bit as the memories formed one by one.

"A girl. . . had gotten into the house and she was. . accusing me of things including the. . the Sakamaki brothers'. She followed me to my room and. . I guess she bit me but she did something to my arms and then put me on my bed and left." Yui said slowly, her words trailing off a couple times as she looked at her mother then over to the brothers her eyes immediately meeting Kou's.

"Yui, this girl, what did she look like?" Ruki asked suddenly seeming to make his presence more known as he meet Yui's eyes for a moment his arms crossed tight and Yui's brow furrowed gently as she struggled to remember.

"She had brown hair and blue eyes." Yui eventually said slowly as she looked back at Ruki who nodded meeting his brothers' eyes then looked at Aika.

"You know what needs to be done, we should go and talk about this." Ruki said as he looked at Aika who nodded standing up looking at Yui once her brow creasing with worry, squeezing Yui's hand tightly once before she left with the three other brothers' leaving Yui and Kou alone.

"You know you scared the hell out of me." Kou said softly as he walked towards Yui sitting down on the bed his hand resting on her leg gently as his eyes met Yui's softly and Yui felt her heart stutter once which was embarrassingly echoed on the heart monitor making Kou smile a bit.

"I'm sorry I scared you then. I didn't mean to bleed all over the place." Yui said making an attempt at humor and Kou just shook his head leaning forward kissing Yui deeply so suddenly it sent her heart off into a frenzied beat that was again echoed on the heart monitor until she returned the kiss and he cralwed up laying on his side next to her right by the railings on the bed.

"I'm going to lay with you, just to make sure you're not going to be harmed or anything." Kou said but his cheeks turned a light red as Yui smiled and she chuckled gently raising one sore arm which throbbed viciously as she lifted it stroking his light red cheek gently and he narrowed his eyes a tiny bit as he looked at her.

"You're so cute sometimes Kou. I can't believe it, it's just so overwhelming sometimes, especially when you try to be protective like you are now." Yui said a bit happily as she rested her arm back on the bed looking at Kou leaning forward kissing his cheek gently lingering slightly then pulled back resting her head on the pillow and Kou did the same only his hand rested by his cheek and he looked straight into Yui's eyes that, once upon a time ago, must have unnerved her but now it just made her feel warm straight down to her core honestly.

"Oh shut up." Kou murmured but even so his lips pulled into a little smile then Yui jerked a tiny bit as her eyes widened as she remembered one detail she should have mentioned. "What is it?" Kou asked tilting his head gently or seeemed to tilt his head as he looked at Yui.

"Kou. . when I was. . being attacked, just before I passed out I know one hundred percent that I unlocked. . SOMETHING. Because I saw a bright pinkish light burst from my hand Kou." Yui said seriously, her eyes holding the emotion of the seriousness and Kou's eyes widened a little bit as he sat up just a tiny bit looking at her before shaking his head softly moving his hand up and cupped her neck gently in a spot where Yui realized there was a bandage.

"It'll be fine Yui. If anything if the light was that bright maybe you burned this girl so it'll be easier to find her now. Your powers. . are becoming unraveled slowly,it's something we'll work on as soon as you're back in tip top shape." Kou said with a final determination in his voice that made Yui think she wouldn't be able to do anything for a while and she just smiled wearily.

"I know. I just hope I'll be better soon so I can finish learning how to control this power of mine." Yui said a bit thickly, her voice becoming a bit heavier with a sort of tiredness that began to pull at her that promised sleep and bliss.

"I know, but for now you should just go to sleep Yui." Kou said softly looking at her and he leaned forward kissing her forehead softly as he stroked the bandage on her neck gently and she began to relax slowly and she moved closer to Kou despite the throbbing in her arms and she rested her head against his collar bone as her eyes fluttered shut and she reached one hand to cling onto his shirt.

"You're. . going to protect me no matter what right? You promise?" Yui whispered gently into his collar bone as her eye lids opened just a tiny bit halfway as she stared into the blue fabric of his shirt and he wrapped one arm around her waist almost protectively.

"Of course I am, no matter what it is I'll keep you safe Yui. Until the very end." He said softly into her hair and Yui closed her eyes again even as a feeling of foreboding filled her body but she kept clinging onto Kou, as if he was her very lifeline to this world and at that moment, Yui felt that it was true. Kou was going to be her lifeline, her protector and the one who could quite possible help her get all of her memories back.
