A Sibling's Rocky Reunion

Author's Note: I AM SO, SO SORRY that this chapter took so long to be posted. I'm also sorry that this chapter isn't the best quality. I wish I had a good excuse for this, but the honest truth is that I was just lazy. I was lazy, I procrastinated and I just didn't feel like writing. Having felt that I already made you wait too long, I rushed to get this done so I'm afraid it's not as good as the previous chapters. T_T I'm sorry! T_T If you happen to find any errors or things that could be better worded please let me know. I will fix it. In fact I may decide to come back and edit this chapter after this story is finished. Thank you to all the fans of this story who have been waiting patiently waiting for this chapter. In all honesty, the only reason I even try to make this story so good and haven't given up is for you, the readers. I also want to thank those who have told me which story they want next. Please keep those thoughts coming. For now, though, I feel like I've rambled enough. On with the chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Diabolik Lovers. I only own Sarah and the plot of this story.

Previously…

Sarah stood on the roof, taking a deep breath of the crisp night air. It was relaxing and she could get lost in her thought just staring up at the stars.

"Sarah…" A familiar voice whispered behind her.

The young woman gasped as her eyes widened in recognition. 'No way… It can't be!' Sarah slowly turned to face her "guest".

If possible, Sarah's eyes would have widened to the size of dinner plates. Standing there was the last person she thought she would ever see. 'But how? He… he died in the fire, didn't he?' "Brother…?" He smiled.

~X~

Yuma smiled, relieved and overjoyed. "Sarah, I'm so glad you remember," he said as he moved closer and pulled her into a tight hug. "You have no idea how much I've missed you, sis." Since the day he'd lost most of his memories, he thought he'd lost his precious sister as well. To have her back like this was more than he could have ever hoped for. "To think you'd be reincarnated like this… It's amazing," he thought aloud.

~X~

"You said a mouthful," Sarah said as she hugged back. "But how are you here? I thought you died in that fire decades ago, and you've hardly aged at all. What's going on, Brother?" She looked at him, confusion clear in her eyes as she pulled away.

He sighed. "It's kind of a long, long, complicated story…" Sarah cocked an eyebrow as he trailed off, giving him a look that said "try me". "You won't take no for an answer, will you?" he asked.

"No chance in Hell."

He sighed again. "Well, for starters, I didn't die in the fire, but I didn't get out completely unscathed. I lost most of my memories. I remember some things like you, our parents, little things about our family and things we used to do together. The rest is just blank, like there's a void, I can't even remember my own name. So, I gave myself a new name. I'm Yuma now.

"Anyway, after that I started up a gang with some other kids my age. We never did anything bad, per se, we were just trying to survive. It didn't last, though. They all died about a year later."

Sarah noticed a look of sadness, guilt and anguish in her brother's eyes as he told her this. As if he were reliving a horrible memory. 'Edgar…' "I'm sorry Brother."

"Thanks, sis, really." Yuma took a deep breath. "After that, I was sent to an orphanage where I met my future "Brothers". I won't lie to you, meeting them was probably the only good thing about that place. We hated it there. The four of us tried to escape, but the plan backfired. We all thought we were dead, by all means we should have been, but someone offered us a second chance. We took it.

"Sometimes, I wonder if we were right in doing so. But there's no going back, so I guess there's no point in regret," Yuma turned to her with a goofy grin.

'Wait… a second chance after almost dying… hardly aging after all these years… regretting the decision… that what Shu was afraid that I'd..' Sarah gasped as she came to the realization.

"Uhm, Sis?" Yuma asked, concerned. "Hello? Earth to Sarah, you okay?"

"Yuma… Brother, you're a Vampire?!"

"Yea- Wait, how do you know about Vampire's?"

Sarah took a deep breath. "I was reincarnated as a human, but my parents in this life weren't the best people. They made a lot of enemies and recently one of them came after me. I should have been dead, but a vampire found me, saved me. Long story short, he was afraid I'd regret becoming one later." 'For now, it's probably best not to mention Shu by name.' "So far tho- Woah!"

Yuma had grabbed her shoulders, cutting her off. "Who was it?! Who turned you!? I'll kill him!"

"Brother, no! Didn't you hear, he saved me!"

"Sarah, I wouldn't wish this life on anyone! Especially you! Now who turned you!?"

She could see him losing his temper and knew she needed to act quickly. "Yuma, calm down first. Take a deep breath and- Agh!" He slammed her into the side of the building.

"Just tell me!"

"Sarah!" Yuma and Sarah's eyes widened as they looked to the roof door.

"You!" Yuma growled.

"Shu!" Sarah exclaimed. Fearing the two former friends would attack each other, she broke out of her brother's grasp and ran to Shu, standing as a barrier between the two. Shu responded by wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her closer while Yuma turned and glared menacingly.

"Keep your hands off my woman, Mukami. I won't warn you again," Shu told him coldly.

"Me!? You get your hands off my sister, ya spoiled, arrogant noble!" Yuma retorted angrily.

Sarah notice Shu's eyes widen in recognition, and knew she needed to put an end to this before it got out of hand. "Stop! Stop it, both of you!" she shouted. "I don't want to see anyone fight!" She looked between the boys for a few tense moments, waiting for someone to act.

Finally, Yuma scoffed and stormed passed them, re-entering the school. Once he was out of earshot, Sarah let out a sigh of relief. "That was close. I was afraid of how things would have ended if a fight broke out."

"Sarah, was that really…?" Shu trailed off questioningly.

The unspoken question was loud and clear to her, though. She nodded sadly. "Edgar… He's alive. But, he's lost his memory. He remembers me, but not much else. Not you, not our friendship as kids, not even his own name." She rested her head on his chest gently. "What are we going to do?"

"I don't know yet, Sarah," he said as he held her close. "But we'll figure it out. Somehow."

'I hope your right, Shu. I have a bad feeling about all this.'

P.S. Author's Note: Again, I'm really sorry this chapter took so long and the quality was poor. I swear I'm already working on the next chapter so it shouldn't take nearly as long. In the meantime, please leave a review letting me now what you think of this chapter. I would also appreciate it if you all would continue to let me know which story you would like me to start next (please see the A/N at the bottom of the previous chapter for details).Thanks and lots of love!
