Chapter 9

'Curiosity had killed the cat.' Yui thought, however, disregarding her worry and going in the room anyway. Maybe she could unlock some of the secrets about why she were even here in the first place. The lights from the waterway lit up the room but it was still difficult to see. It was cold and damp and appeared to have a few jail cells. The blonde wondered if they had prisoners in here, and was creeped out at the thought of it. Thankfully, it looked like it hadn't been used in some time.

She held her hand up to her chest as she further explored, finding nothing else particularly interesting until- a small shuffling from the corner caught her attention. Yui jolted backwards banging into one of the jail cells. What was that? Suddenly the room had gotten darker than she remembered. Was it one of the boys? It seemed like something they'd do to play a prank on her but... What if it wasn't them? What if... they weren't the only ones in the mansion and something else lived down here in the waterway? Her heart was racing at the thought of it. She'd die here, without Laito-kun ever returning her feelings, without ever seeing him again! She at least wanted to hear him say 'I love you' before she died.

Her eyes wouldn't adjust the longer she stared at the corner, making out odd shapes that vaguely resembled a human being. The shuffling grew louder. Her legs started moving towards the door as she realized she had to get out of there, booking it towards the exit until something collided with her feet, causing her to trip and hit her head against the concrete floor. Yui could have sworn she heard a female laughter- a maniacal sounding laughter at that from the distance, before she blacked out completely.

-x-

"Why don't you watch like a good boy, Laito?" Yui heard a feminine voice say, unaware of her surroundings as her pink eyes slowly opened. She could make out the same room, but it looked a bit different. There were actually lights of its own now and it looked more 'well kept'. The blonde got up from her daze, backing herself up against the jail cell as she saw the woman from her dreams before- Laito's mother. She didn't seem to notice her though- too busy with some guy Yui had never seen before. He had dark hair and slight wrinkles under his eyes. She soon realized he was a vampire too. She had just assumed his mother was dead but was this real?.. Or some sort of ghost?

"I'm always a good boy, mother." The boy from the jail cell replied, his voice distraught and sounding like he were in the middle of a mental breakdown.

Yui turned around to face him, soon realizing her presence wasn't known to the other members in the room. She wasn't sure how to feel about the sight of young Laito, but something about him broke her heart. "Laito-kun..." Her soft voice mumbled, only to herself as she couldn't be heard either. Was this a dream similar to last time? If so, why was she having dreams about this woman?

"Ritcher, let's put on a show for him, hmm?" The purple haired vampire offered sadistically, the man- Ritcher already on his way of taking off her dress. They weren't going to...? In front of him? As if her opinion of this woman couldn't get any lower. Yui's face burned red as she looked away, focusing on Laito-kun. She wasn't sure what was more uncomfortable to watch... Through the moans and panting of her and Ritcher, the girl had come to realize his mother's name was Cordelia.

Laito's breathing got more frantic as things progressed and she could see the pain in his expression. "But... I thought we were lovers... I don't understand." Suddenly gripping the bars, the young vampire stared at his mother desperately.

The blonde cringed at the word 'lovers', plopping down on the floor and bringing her knees up to her face. Tears stung in her eyes. There was nothing she could do about it but just sit here and watch- similar to Laito's situation ironically.

"Silly boy, you don't understand." Cordelia giggled, holding the dark haired vampire away from kissing down her chest. Yui turned to her briefly before turning away again and blushing- the situation certainly progressing from the last time she'd looked. She wondered how Laito could stay watching- even though it were him.

"I do love you, Laito." His mother continued, the blonde glancing at him, the happiness in his eyes was almost too much to bear. But that wasn't true. Yui loved him far more than this whore. She'd never do this to him... "I just have so much love in me, I can't simply share it with one person. Don't you understand?" She batted her eye lashes towards her son, trying to get him on her side, or perhaps just getting enjoyment out of screwing him up even more.

"But my love is -all- for you!" The red head shouted, gripping onto the bars more desperately now. Yui's eyes widened and her heart felt like it was being stabbed repeatedly, and of course he had to make it worse. "Only you..." He added softly, looking down to the floor, his emerald eyes glazing over. The blonde watched him sympathetically, putting her own pain aside for a moment. She wished she could hold him and make him feel better, but sadly that were impossible.

"Laito-kun, -I- love you..." Yui said genuinely, as if her feelings may have healed his heart somehow- even if unrequited. Just to know someone cared about him... She got up then, putting her hand over his own that gripped the bars. He couldn't tell she were there of course, but it made her feel like she were doing something besides sitting around.

"Oh, Cordelia my love..." Ritcher moaned from behind her, more kissing, sucking and moaning and other sounds being heard. Yui dared not to look back now, she were smart enough to know that. Laito took his hand back from the bar, blocking his face with it now while he quietly whimpered. He wasn't...? He wasn't going to cry?

"Laito-kun!" Yui shouted desperately, her eyes welling up with tears as she watched her love sob over another woman. It wasn't so much selfish as wanting him to herself, but she cared about him, and seeing him hurt like this killed her. There was a strong desire to help, but surely her measly feelings meant little to the boy... She hated Cordelia so much for doing this to him. The girl had always been sad over her own lack of a mother, but surely that was better than having one like -this-.

Things continued like this for a while, until Laito took his hand away from his face, Yui watching him in curiosity. His expression looked different now, like he'd finally lost it. Not that she could blame him. The vampire chuckled from behind the jail cell, putting his hand over his mouth to hold back his laughter.

Cordelia turned back to look at him, a displeased look on her face. "What's so funny, Laito?" She asked, irritation obvious in her tone.

Giving one last giggle, he replied. "I'm surprised too but it would seem something like this has turned me on." He clutched onto the bars again, breathing heavier and his cheeks tinting pink. Yui watched him unsurely. She could tell he were doing this to cope with the pain, but that didn't make it any less disturbing for her. His eyes almost lit up at the scene, the girl still stopping herself from looking back, only imagining what must be happening now.

"Ah.~ It's a bittersweet feeling really." Laito gushed. "My love for you is still warm and sweet, but my bitter hatred is mixing in, and the reaction is wonderful. I'm sooooo turned on!" He said, pressingly himself closer against the bars. Yui couldn't help but blush- of course she were used to him acting like this in real life... But... She were usually the object of his affections.

Cordelia cracked up laughing, not able to speak for a while until she'd calmed down. "My oh my, you've come to some conclusion there. Touch yourself or cry in the corner, I don't care. Since Laito is enjoying this so much, why don't you fuck me even harder, Ritcher.~"

Yui felt like she were going to get sick... When would this horrible dream, or whatever it was be over? It hurt her to see how broken Laito had become and all she could do was watch him fall apart. The moaning of his mother and that man filled her ears, until her hearing started cutting out and vision started getting hazy.

"Bitch-chaaaan! Bitch-chan, are you alive?" Laito's voice rung, but his lips weren't moving. What was...? The girl felt like she were blacking out again but ended up opening her eyes. The room was suddenly the same as it was before- dark and run down and... she were face to face with literally the man from her dreams.

"Laito-kun!" Yui cried, tackle-hugging him down to the ground. "I was so scared! Kanato-kun locked me down here to teach me a lesson. Oh, and there was something moving, and I thought it might have been you, and I also thought it might have been some weird monster, and I fell and had this weird dream..." She started crying against his chest as the boy tilted his head in confusion, not catching half of what she'd said.

"Calm down, Bitch-chan. It's just a dark room." He chuckled then. "You're going on about monsters when your looking for comfort from a vampire, heh, you're a dumb one." Laito said in amusement as he pulled her closer to him.

She could feel him- he were real again. But, if Laito-kun were here right now then... did that mean he was looking for her after all? He was her hero? Her pink eyes blinked in shock as she thought about what was going on.

The vampire leaned down to kiss her forehead, causing her to blush and then cringe from pain. The area was tender for some reason. Was she bleeding from when she hit the floor? His tongue licked over her wound, Yui clutching onto his blazer. "S-stop, it hurts..." She begged, struggling on his lap, but of course he wouldn't let up.

"Hmm?" Laito mused. "But I'm just trying to clean up your wound. Bitch-chan is so clumsy. Do you want me to make a new one instead, nffuu?~"

"N-no, I..." Yui said quietly before the boy forced apart her thighs, licking up another wound on her knee. She'd really damaged herself from the fall. In a strange way it felt like he was taking care of her.

His other hand clutched her upper thigh tightly, so close that it was beginning to turn her on. Not that she'd want to have sex for awhile... after what she'd just witnessed in her dream. Her panties were probably in clear view to him too. Yui brought her hands down to block them, still feeling indecent despite all they've done together. She could hear him snicker in response, moving his other hand further up until his thumb felt down her panty line.

"Wow, all it takes is one touch to turn you on." Laito said with amazement, his thumb going under the blue garment and feeling along the inside. Yui might have changed her mind about having sex again so soon, especially when he touched her like that. "Y'know Bitch-chan, it's ironic you choose a room like this. It brings back a lot of fond memories for me. I can feel myself being turned on now, nffuu.~" He pushed her over, letting the blonde fall on her back while he went to kiss up her thigh, his thumb still ever so close.

Little did he know, she knew the exact memories he were probably talking about. "L-Laito-kun, s-stop messing around. I-I know what happened in this place." Yui blurted out.

Laito immediately stopped kissing her leg, peering up to look at her in shock. He was about to reply before the sound of someone clearing their throat caught his attention. Ayato-kun stood in the door way, his arms crossed and looking irritated. "Oh, am I interrupting your sex escapade?"

The girl blushed bright red, thinking about how this probably looked- her legs pried apart while his brother hovered in between them. Yui pulled down her skirt immediately, even though from the others' stand point she didn't think he could see anything.

"A-Ayato-kun!" She gasped. "W-what are you doing here?"

A grin tugged on Laito's face as an idea popped in his head. "Oh, Ayato? Have you come to join in? I'm sure we could give Bitch-chan twice the amount of pleasure if you did. She likes being double teamed, right?~" He turned back to Yui, that same smile plastered on his face.

She couldn't tell if he were being sarcastic or honestly thought she'd enjoy such a thing... Though, it had happened before with the other triplet. Would Ayato-kun really join in on this? If the two of them were to rape her, Yui weren't sure if she could deal with the horrible feelings again. Her eyes widened in fear and her heart picked up pace. "Laito-kun, I love you so much! You're the only man who can pleasure me!" She clutched tighter on his blazer, her words truthful, but she was only saying them now to discourage the other from joining.

Laito's hands went to her shoulders pulling her away only far enough so he could lean down to kiss her. "Bitch-chan's such a bad girl, nffuuu. Wont you let Ayato-kun have a turn too? Hey I got an idea.~" The vampire chimed, "If Ayato wants to have my Bitch-chan all to himself, I don't mind going in the jail cell and watching.~"

"I'm not being part of your sick fantasies." Ayato sighed, "I just came to say Reiji is having another dinner party and you know how annoying he gets if nobody shows up. Nothing more, nothing less, bye." The other triplet left then, not wishing to hear any more nonsense those two had to say.

"Hmm, I guess our fun has been postponed for now." Laito said sadly, getting up off the ground and dusting himself off.

Yui got up to join him but found her left ankle sore and tender. She wobbled and clutched onto the tall boy. "Oww, I think I sprained my ankle when I fell." Her voice was shakey and pained.

"Aww!" Laito cooed, grabbing a hold of her legs and picking her up bridal style. "I guess I'll just have to carry you, huh? I can see the jealousy on my brothers' faces now, nfufufu.~"

"I-isn't that a little flashy?" Yui said with embarrassment, wrapping her arms around his neck so she wouldn't fall. It made her happy he wouldn't have her walk back in pain though. Maybe he cared about her after all?

The vampire chuckled, "You were so eager to let Ayato-kun know you were mine. Don't you want the others to know too?"

"I-I guess so..." The girl replied unsurely, feeling strange at how easy going things had gotten. She were about to tell him the dream she'd had before they got interrupted. It would take too much courage to bring it up now though, especially when he wore a happy expression like that. She couldn't risk upsetting him. Yui rested her head against his chest, glad she could be with him now.

As the couple entered the dinning room, Laito looked pleased to have all eyes on them. The other vampires were already sitting at the table, looking as if they were waiting for them to arrive. "I-I can walk to my own seat, Laito-kun." The girl said shyly, hiding herself against him to avoid the stares. She could tell Subaru was looking down at the wound on her knee- hopefully he didn't think his brother had hurt her.

Giving an amused chuckle, the red head let her down, Yui and himself taking the two empty seats at the table. She ended up sitting between him and Subaru-kun, who still looked worried and probably angry at Laito.

Reiji cleared his throat then, "Now that we're all here, let's eat. Please remember proper table manners, no elbows on the table and I'd prefer it if we kept chit-chat to a minimum."

"Yui." Subaru said quietly as the others started eating, his tone serious as he looked down at her leg, also noticing the cut on her head too. "What happened?"

"I fell down. Don't worry about it Subaru-kun." The blonde said, blushing slightly. She knew it seemed like an obvious lie, but it were the truth. Yui's face went brighter red as she felt someone grab her thigh from under the table- she wondered who that could have been. Looking away, she noticed Kanato glaring at her from the other side of the table. This would be an awkward meal...

Laito's face remained unaltered as his hand hiked up her skirt further, causing her to push in her chair so nobody else could see under the table cloth. "L-Laito-kun, please stop." Yui whispered, touching his arm to grab his attention.

"Is something the matter, Yui?" Reiji threatened, wondering what could have been important enough to interrupt his meal. His eyes challenged her to speak and she just shook her head.

"N-no, I'm sorry." She started eating then, trying to ignore the boy feeling up her leg, which she was able to do for a while. Until he apparently decided to kick it up a notch. Yui let out a loud gasp when his finger rubbed along her opening.

"T-this is so good, Reiji-san!" She saved, pretending her shock was over the food, causing a small smirk to form on Laito's face. He moved the fabric to the side with his index finger, one of his others entering her for real as he fingered her. The girl tried to control her breathing, the silent table making it difficult. But she couldn't make a fuss either...

"Get off of her." The boy to her left growled, noticing the commotion that was going on beside him. "Can't you see she doesn't like what you're doing?" His red eyes glared at his brother, Yui sitting awkwardly between it all.

"Hmmm, Subaru-kun, what're you talking about?~" Laito chimed, taking his hand back and putting it in his own lap, as if he were completely innocent.

Yui blushed as all eyes were on her, or them. The white haired boy got up abruptly, having a better look at the other boy from above. "Don't play innocent with me, you pervert. You constantly disrespect her, along with any other girl you meet. I don't even understand how Yui could like such a repulsive person."

Was it true? Was she stupid for loving Laito-kun? Yui felt kinda insulted even though the insult as meant for his brother. She knew Subaru-kun was trying to protect her though... and she was thankful for that part.

"Subaru, sit down." Reiji ordered.

"I wont. Not until you punish this pervert!" The boy standing said angrily, his glare never leaving Laito.

"So noisy." Shuu complained from the end of table.

"I don't even understand what you're accusing me of, nffuu.~" Laito snickered.

Subaru looked to Yui for help, hoping she could explain the situation to the others and reassure them Laito was the one at fault. But... she couldn't rat out Laito-kun, could she? He'd get mad at her. But she also couldn't leave Subaru hanging and have him get punished instead. How would she even explain to a table of six boys that he had been trying to touch her under the table?

"Yui." The youngest vampire growled, looking like he was about to break the table, he was so pissed off. "If you keep letting him get away with this crap, he's going to keep disrespecting you! He's not a child, he knows what he's doing is wrong and he keeps doing it anyway- because he -knows- you'll let him get away with it!"

Tears stung in the young girls eyes. She knew it was true that Laito-kun didn't care if he disrespected her. She'd just been giving him excuses all this time... He was an adult capable of knowing if his actions were right or wrong but... somehow she couldn't bring herself to hold it against him. Yui couldn't feel negatively about him when she loved him so much- faults and all. "I-I don't know what to say..." She choked out, holding her hands up to her eyes as she started crying. "I'm so sorry, Subaru-kun. I know you're trying to help me..."

"Aww, you made Bitch-chan cry." Laito observed sadly.

The eldest Sakamaki got up now too, leaving the room as the noise was getting in the way of his music. Reiji was left as angry as ever. "That's enough! The three of you leave now, and I'll deal with you later!"

Subaru, Laito and Yui listened to his order, leaving the table and going out in the hallway- the younger male hoping he could settle their business out there. It weren't so much that he were jealous of his brother for having Yui's love, it just pissed him off how horrible he treated her.

"Hmm, Subaru-kun?~" Laito chimed, sniffing his brother then. "You smell like a human girl, not Bitch-chan, but a different one." He said incredulously, putting his hand up to his chin as he thought about what this meant. "You found a new bitch and you didn't even care to share? Maybe I might want a taste of her blood too, or other areas, I'm sure she wouldn't mind me licking her up. Bitch-chan liked it the other day.~"

Yui was too in shock to react, ignoring the part where he'd just embarrassed her in front of Subaru-kun. Her heart twisted in pain by his words. After everything they'd been through... Laito-kun still wanted other girls? She knew he didn't love her, but she hoped he at least felt some sort of bond with her... Apparently not.

Subaru pushed his brother up against the wall, the blonde unsure if it were for her sake or this new girl he had met. Either way, she wasn't coming to his rescue this time... right? "L-Laito, how could you say that?... Would you really get with another girl?" The girl asked, putting her hand up to her chest nervously as she stood behind his brother. Was she prepared for his answer?

"Bitch-chan, I said you were my favorite, but that doesn't mean you'll be my last, nffuuu. I'm not that sentimental." The boy replied, her heart breaking to pieces just from the statement.

Yui's eyes widened as tears streamed down her face, her mind searching for possible explanations. Anything to heal this horrible pain that now that ached inside of her. Subaru punched him in the stomach then, the blonde too broken to even tell him to stop. Maybe she even felt that Laito deserved this. As horrible as that was. She fell to her knees now, watching the two fight before her.

"Shut up! I'm not letting your filthy fangs touch anymore girls I know!" The younger growled, pressing his arm tighter against his half brothers neck.

"Heh, we'll see about that.~" Laito stuck out his tongue mockingly, unaltered from the pain.

"I said shut up!" Subaru threw another punch at him- in the face, before backing off, letting the other fall to the floor. He said one last thing to Yui before he left, his voice not harsh anymore but almost sympathetic. "Maybe you'll understand what I was saying now." It wasn't so much a 'I told you so', but more of 'so you've finally noticed'. So she'd finally seen Laito for who he really was... He knew that was all he could do, the rest was up to Yui to figure out.

The red head wiped the blood from his mouth, laughing to himself afterwards- while she just stared at him, unsure what to say or how to react. Part of her wanted to crawl over and tend to his wounds, but the other part hated him and wished more pain upon him.

The familiar voice spoke to her once again, "It's making me so sick watching this. You're such a pathetic girl, really. When I was fucking him, I had him pussy whipped so hard. Let me take over and I'll wipe that grin right off his face, ne?" Yui didn't so much question it, but she knew from that moment who the voice was- Cordelia.

(AN: Take a shot every time this fanfiction makes you uncomfortable. Wait, bad idea. XD So, who wants Cordelia to pussy whip Laito? I'm oddly starting to like Cordelia's character, I mean I hate her for what she did to Laito bby, but I can't help but find it hilarious writing for her. She's so sassy. Like, the complete opposite of Yui! I like Yui too though, she's a sweetie. Please reviewwww.~ Oh, and if anyone is wondering who the other human girl is that Subaru is seeing, my friend blackstardragonlover is making a side story based off this one with her OC and Subaru. c: Check it out.)
