Previous Chapter Summary:

After a session of Ayato's sadism inside the Lady's Room, Yui woke up inside the Infirmary and was disturbed by Shu who insisted he'd lie on the same bed as hers, leading to Yui hiding under the sheets when Ayato came to fetch her.

Night 5

"Medical Treatment"

- At the School Building Entry Way -

"You do realize that you are late, Komori-san."

Ever since the day Yui had arrived at the Sakamaki Manor, this already was the nth time that Reiji had reprimanded her about her lack of punctuality.

It wasn't that she intentionally keeps on slacking. Yui was, in her nature, admirably time conscious, except that there are certain distractions that deviates her from being punctual.

She knew that she's not at fault here but she chose to accept Reiji's words and apologized, seeing that it was the safest thing to do right now.

'SORRY.' She neatly wrote down on the notebook, to which Reiji raised a brow in confusion.

"What nonsense are you up to?"

'PARDON?'

"You're communicating with the use of a notebook and a pen. Are you too lazy too speak?"

Yui immediately shook her head to reject his statement. 'THE DOCTOR TOLD ME NOT TO TALK FOR AWHILE.'

"Hm... I'm curious as to why. Very well... Do enlighten me, quickly."

Yui carefully contemplated on the word quickly. She knew that Reiji was a person who gives much importance to his time. Being slow paced is much unreasonable to him.

'Should I simply put out my tongue? It would be quicker to explain it that way.' she thought. 'But that would seem disrespectful.'

"So?" Reiji cracked his 12-inched whip against the book he was holding. He was feeling quite impatient, noticing how Yui kept unresponsive for awhile.

'THWACK!' Another crack from his whip and Yui was suddenly determined to not upset his lordship. So due to her panic and recently developed fear of the whip, Yui had thoughtlessly placed her tongue out at Reiji.

"Disgraceful!" Reiji barked at her as a result. "How dare a low life human like you do something so shameless? I'll gladly slice that thing off so you won't be able to do that again!"

'Oh no! I got him angry. But... Didn't he see the wound?' Yui panicked.

"Ahahaha... You really are the best, Bitch-chan. You managed to get this person angry." Laito chuckled in delight, suddenly making his presence known to both of them.

"Laito." Reiji narrowed his eyes at him.

"My, my... Don't start getting mad at me too." Laito smiled playfully at his older brother before turning his attention towards the girl. "Aw... What happened, Bitch-chan? How did you end up hurting your tongue like that?"

"Tongue?" Reiji calmed down when he too noticed the wound.

Apparently, his anger got the best of him, which may be the reason why he wasn't able to see it earlier. He was starting to realize it, so he awkwardly adjusted his glasses and faked a cough as if covering up for his mistake.

Yui did not fail to notice the sudden change in Reiji's mood so she took this as a cue to place her tongue back inside her mouth and quickly wrote down Ayato's name to explain whom it came from.

"For goodness sake! That brother of yours really is troublesome." Reiji directed this statement more towards Laito.

"Hm~ there's no need to point fingers here. That brat is your brother too."

"Tch. A matter that I cannot refute. It's a bond I have to live with for the rest of eternity. However, this does not excuse you from being late also, Laito."

"Meh... It can't be helped. I was a bit... preoccupied by my other bitch-chans." Laito tapped his hat and shrugged. "Anyway..."

Yui turned stiff the moment she realized that Laito's green eyes were shifted towards her direction, only to calm down a bit when she noticed he was more interested at the object she's been carrying in her hands.

"What's up with the notebook, Bitch-chan?" he asked.

'IT'S FOR COMMUNICATING.'

"Oh..." he paused. "Is it because that wound is bothering you?"

'YES.'

"Well, if it starts to get too painful, you can always come find me. I'll make sure you'll drown in pleasure. You'll forget you even have that ugly thing."

Yui caught a sign of malice on Laito's face. She unconsciously stepped back from where she stood. It's as if her body was warning her to get away from him.

"There's no need to hesitate, Bitch-chan. I'll make sure you won't regret ever coming to my aid." Laito reached out his hand to stroke her cheek. His touch being so gentle, completely opposite to his real intentions- his erotic nature.

She knew he was no gentleman. He too was sadistic in his own way, and so Yui shifted her head to one side, avoiding physical contact with his hand.

She had already known one obvious fact. If a Sakamaki starts touching her, it would never end up good on her part.

'NO THANKS.' she sternly wrote her response.

"Eh~ are you sure?"

She nodded. 'THE DOCTOR ALREADY GAVE ME MEDICINE TO DEAL WITH THE PAIN.'

"Really?"

Yui almost felt guilty when he gave a pout. He looked so hurt with all these. It seemed like she was the one bullying him.

"That's too bad. Maybe next time?"

She nodded awkwardly.

"Haha... I'm looking forward to it then, Bitch-chan."

Yui froze at that. She was quite surprised with herself. 'J-Just now. Was I tricked?'

"Yui Komori."

The girl automatically turned to face Reiji the moment she heard him call out her name.

"May I take a look at those medicine you were referring to?" Reiji told her.

He had already stretched out a hand to take the said items so Yui obediently brought out the bottles inside her pocket and handed it over to Reiji.

She quietly observed him as he eyed the bottles with much displeasure.

"Ha! Disgusting. Humans actually prefer using this? It's far too inferior than my potions. Ahahaha... It's too pitiful, it makes me laugh." the older Sakamaki commented harshly.

'There's no need to say such words.' Yui flared silently. She didn't have enough courage to talk back at Reiji. She was actually scared to death with him.

Although she still considers herself lucky since he usually doesn't take any interest with her, except when he sees it necessary to discipline her or he needs her assistance with his experiments. Other than those, he wasn't much of a bother, unlike the other Sakamakis. She was, in a way, safer around him. But it does not mean she cannot be upset with him as she was now.

"Komori-san." Reiji called for her attention once again. "Come to my room as soon as we get back to the manor."

Yui gave him a questioning look. She found it odd that he's suddenly summoning her to his room. He usually warns her never to get anywhere near there.

"It's quite obvious isn't it? You won't be needing this any longer."

She gasped at the sight. Reiji had just crushed her medications with his bare hand.

'What in the world? Did he hate it that much? But he really didn't have to do that!" she screamed inside her head.

"I won't be able to forgive myself if I let a member of the household depend on human inferiority." Reiji calmly patted his hands to get rid of the remnants. "I permit you to come to my room tonight. I'll prepare one of my potions for your sake. I guarantee that once you realize its superiority, you'll absolutely feel humiliated that you actually are part of the human race."

Yui felt more upset at his cruel words, but he does speak the truth. He's quite the genius and she often feels stupid when she's around him.

'Really. He's still going on and on about that. Can't humans and vampires be equal for once?' she defended. But she couldn't spit it out. She's much too afraid of him.

"Come now, you two. Hurry up and get inside the car." Reiji instructed as he himself went inside the limousine.

"Ah~ still such a prick, that Reiji."

Yui was surprised when she heard Laito's side comment, but he only raised a brow at her and smiled.

"What? Tell me you think so too."

She blushed. 'W-Well... It's not like that."

"Haha... See? Your face reveals the truth." he laughed, amused. "Although, thanks to Reiji, you don't have medicine to deal with the pain anymore. But I'll let you know that my offer is still up for the taking. It's either you choose to take Reiji's weird potion or you come to my room so I could soothe your pain." Laito teased, leaving her with a light smack on her lips before he followed Reiji inside the limo.

Yui remained outside, wondering what she'll do now. She refuses to go to either of the brother's room tonight. 'Perhaps I could still go back to the infirmary to get more? I hope Reinhart-sensei is still in school.'

She hurriedly turned her heels and headed back inside the school building but she was abruptly put to a stop when Reiji shouted out to her.

"Where are you going?" he said, bringing out his whip and warning her that she would get a serious beating if she won't get inside the car right this moment.

And so, without choice, she got herself inside the car.

'Perhaps I could bear with the pain for tonight. I'll head out to buy medicine tomorrow morning. I just need to absolutely refrain from using my tongue so the wound won't open.' She pondered on the idea.

- Inside the Limousine -

When Yui had entered, she found out that Shu had selfishly occupied an entire seat so he could lie down and sleep.

With this, Yui had no other option but to sit beside Subaru. She didn't want to sit in between Laito and Kanato. She had a strong feeling that they'd start toying with her, especially now that Ayato wasn't around to bat their hands off her.

'Where is he?' She found herself asking.

There was also an empty seat beside Reiji but she noticed how irked he was with Shu's conduct in the limo so it wasn't safe for her to be anywhere near him.

That is why the seat beside the youngest Sakamaki was the best alternative in this situation.

Subaru grunted the moment she sat beside him.

Yui simply gave him an apologetic smile as if silently assuring him that she won't be a bother during the ride home.

Subaru, in turn, glared at her before he shifted his head to stare outside the window, completely ignoring her.

'I guess he approves.' She smiled inwardly, as her eyes began to roam around her surroundings, troubled by the fact that a particular someone wasn't with them.

'Did he go somewhere by himself?' she wondered, but subsequently dismissed the thought, recalling how badly Ayato had treated her awhile ago.

'Yui. Be thankful he's not around.' She scolded herself.

She did.

But strangely enough...

She felt lonely.

Author's Blabbering Nonsense... more than an Author's Note:

While I was typing away in my laptop and eating fried rice, I was actually listening to the Diabolik Lovers Official Sound Tracks. Ah... It sets me in the right mood.
