Chapter 17

"Y-you're lying." Yui said quietly, laughing lightly at the thought that she'd almost fell for it. It was a strange sound coming out of her mouth, like she was losing it again, or beginning to. It all made sense to her now. "You've finally seen how amazing Laito-kun is and now you want him for yourself, but you can't. The reason I came here was surely to meet Laito-kun. I love him more than you- I-I wont let you get in the way of our fated love!" She shouted now, desperate and almost to tears.

"What the fuck are you on about?" Cordelia laughed louder with amusement. "He told me himself that he loves me far more than you. His love for me puts you to shame, his words.~"

The sound wouldn't stop, mocking her, tormenting her. The blonde clutched her ears tightly, almost ripping out her own hair to make that laugh stop echoing in her head. She fell down completely, laying down on the carpeted hallway as a stream of hot tears fell down her face. Surely if anyone saw her they'd think she was nuts- maybe she was. Maybe Cordelia didn't even exist but was just her going insane?

"He didn't even tell you he loved you back earlier. Perhaps, he changed his mind after seeing me? You're so cruel, such a selfish child to keep Laito from his happiness with me. You think you're protecting him, helping him? You're making him dirty his hands right now, probably fucking that little slut, just to make you get the hint that he doesn't want you around."

Was this all true? Did Laito-kun really love Cordelia more than her? Was her existence simply a burden at this point? Had he cheated on her again? "D-do you really love Laito-kun back? W-will you take care of him for me? I-I don't want him to be hurt." Yui begged between sobs, her heart beating so fast in her chest it was almost audible to her. It felt tight and burning like she was maybe having a heart attack. Getting no answer from Cordelia, she could feel her conscious slipping away, the more painful and unbearable things became... She needed someone to help her, even just hearing a voice would be okay. Laito... Ayato... Kanato... anyone.

-x-

Laito watched Yui intently on his bed, running a hand down her arm as if she could react to it in this state. He'd found her laying on the floor earlier, passed out. Since then, the boy had carried her here, waiting for her to wake up again. It was sorta hero-like, he thought with amusement. Had one of his brothers done something to her? But there were no new bite marks on her body- he'd checked.~ Surely no one would bother knocking her unconscious without -at least- having a taste. Maybe she was just being a clutz again to get herself in such a predicament. She was lucky he found her... or was she?~

"Bitch-chan, if you don't wake up soon I'll have to kiss you." The red head teased, bored. No reaction from the blonde. Of course he could fool around with her unconscious body but... it didn't really seem that thrilling. She was better animate, to see her reactions and expressions. None the less, he had to stay true to his word. His lips slowly met her own, pressing forward and kissing her- although the kiss was not returned. The vampire pulled away, a displeased look on his face. She felt colder than usual- actually Bitch-chan was usually warm.

Moving her now, he pulled the green comforter over her body, the girl still lifeless- besides her small chest moving ever so slightly to breathe. At least she looked a bit more comfortable now. Laito sighed, turning over to lay on his back, looking up at the chandelier on his bedroom ceiling.

Most of his brother's were excited over Subaru's new girlfriend staying over, or food source or whatever she was. It would be impossible to get near her though, with that over protective vampire taking care of her. She was kinda cute, spunky too. It made him wonder what her blood tasted like- surely it couldn't be better than Bitch-chan's but... drinking the same blood all the time, even being your favorite was sure to dull, right? Hm, maybe not the case with Yui's since her blood was so similar to that woman's. He could have her blood for breakfast, lunch and dinner- maybe a midnight snack too and never grow bored. He could take a bite right now if he wanted to but... somehow he'd miss the feeling of her small hands clutching onto him as he done so.

'Bitch-chan, wake up!' The vampire whined in his head, turning towards her again as a pair of eyes met his own but... they weren't her innocent pink eyes he knew but, green. The same as his own. The same as... Cordelia's.

"This is a nice bed you got here, but I'm sure all the girls say that, nfufufu." The woman, who definitely wasn't his Bitch-chan giggled.

There wasn't very many things in life Laito could say had shocked him, but he was speechless now. It wasn't just the eyes, but her whole demeanor had changed. She wasn't timid and self conscious anymore, but confident and radiant. The way she moved as she slid up to sit, the blanket now moving down to her waist, her small breasts perked out more- instead of slouched and reserved as Yui usually presented herself. It made her look older and kinda hot but... it also gave him a horrible feeling. This wasn't Yui. He knew who this was.

The vampire smirked however, quickly regaining his control and holding back any discomfort this situation gave him. "So, I guess you took over Bitch-chan's body after all? Here I thought I dreamt the whole thing up."

"No thanks to you." Cordelia's voice coming from his Bitch-chan's mouth was strange, he could almost say it gave him the creeps. "I was going to give you a little gift upon arriving but, seeing as you denied my orders, that wont be happening." Her eyelashes batted sexily, one being able to quickly guess what she meant.

Laito was almost disappointed he didn't get her 'gift', but he also couldn't help feeling a bit irritated. Of course he knew sometimes he himself could act like his mother, but Yui, it felt like she was defiling her body by acting and speaking in such a way. Was Bitch-chan's innocence that sacred to him?

"Your loss." His mother smirked sadistically, getting out of the blanket and planning to head out of the room. She looked thoughtful as something occurred to her. It would be nice to take her new body out for a test spin- especially at her disobeying son's expense. "There are five more of you in this house, right? How about I soil your little angel's body by fucking every one of them? You can even have a front row seat.~"

A hand met the wall beside her head, the impact causing a picture frame to fall and shatter behind the blonde. Cordelia looked for an escape but Laito grabbed her wrist tightly, pressing it against the hard surface. Not having her full power back, the former vampire found herself as helpless as Yui had been, maybe a small bit better off than her. The boy's breathing had gotten heavier, his cheeks tinting pink as he looked at her face. "Hmm, as hot as that would be, I'm sorry mother. Bitch-chan had a special request that only -I'm- allowed to touch her body."

Cordelia was pissed off beyond belief, causing a frown to fall on Yui's features. "Let me go this instant or you'll be punished for it later!" She snapped.

Maybe that would have been threatening if she were in her normal body but not tonight. His grip got tighter on her wrist, more painful. "You wont be able to punish me when you're dead, nfufu." Laito chuckled, leaning in closer, smelling her neck, that delectable blood flow making him want more- much more. "If you don't give me my Bitch-chan back I'll have no choice but to kill you again. I'm not saying I don't love you, it's just better for Yui to be in control- so you're both mine." His breath was cold against her collar bone, his strong hands gripping both of her wrists, the more intimate he made this, the madder she got.

The imposter backed up closer to the wall, as if doing so would get him any further away from her. He just closed what little space there was, pressing his body hard against her own. "Mother hates it when I'm sappy during sex, right?~" Laito asked longingly, remembering the olden days when they were lovers.

She practically growled at his statement, thrashing about under his grasp, which only served to be futile. "You dirty brat!"

"Yui, I love you." His voice was soft and passionate, afterwards kissing down her jaw and neck. His grip on her wrists loosened so the moment was more tender, but could be tightened again if she struggled. He was hoping to call out to Yui, if she were still in there. Maybe he could help her get control again, and piss his mother off in the process. She was kinda hot when she was angry.~

"You're going to make me sick."

"Love sick?~" Laito teased, smirking against her skin. He wished he could use his hands but she might get away if he took them off her wrists.

As he sucked and nipped at her neck, Cordelia's eyes shifted to the floor, something catching her eye and making her smirk. She hated giving up her pride, but this body wasn't being taken away so easily. "Laito, when you touch me like that I can't help but want more... much more... I want you inside of me..." The female moaned, giving her best act at faking pleasure- and unsurprisingly she was a pro at that. Who knows, maybe she might actually come to enjoy this. The fact that Yui loved and wanted him -so- much, made it a bit satisfying to take her man. Maybe if the girl was still alive in there, she might actually get to watch this.

"Oh really? You wont struggle anymore?~" The boy asked excitedly.

"Mm, quite the opposite." Her lips were pouted out and her eyes were hazy- like she were begging for it. It was irresistible when she looked that way and suddenly he may have forgotten what the whole point in this was- who he was trying to save. He just wanted her, fully. Even just one more time, to satisfy this lust that had been building up for so long.

Laito ended up letting go of her wrists, his mother's arms wrapping around him, feeling his back, raking her fingers down his jacket. Her son's lips met her own, their bodies pushed together in lust, wishing for the layers to disappear. It was only when he looked at her face again that he'd begun to feel uneasy. Surely if this was Cordelia's actual body, he would have kept going, not questioning anything but... With Yui's body, the girl who loved him so much, he wasn't sure if he wanted to go through with this.

"This body -really- doesn't suit you." Making an unsure expression, the red head looked over the girl. A childlike, small chested girl like Bitch-chan wasn't a suitable host for his flirtatious mother. They were such polar opposites, it was almost laughable.

"I didn't know what this broad would grow up to look like, besides remember whose fault it is that I lost my original body." Cordelia brought up with a smirk, knowing she was right. It was fine though, especially with what she had planned for him- that little prick. Giving her son one last kiss, the girl got down on her knees, her face directly across from the crotch of his pants- something Yui definitely wouldn't do.

"I'm not quite sure if I trust you down there.~" Laito giggled, backing away slightly before she urged him forward, kissing over the bulge in his pants. Through the fabric, it was nothing more than a tease, but it did manage to change his mind about letting her play around.

"Mmm, you're so hard. For me?~" She teased, spreading open-mouthed kisses over his concealed length, causing Laito's head to fall back as he moaned in sweet pleasure. Unbuckling his brown capree pants, she took out his erection, her skilled mouth enveloping it quickly. His hands gripped her blonde hair, letting her do her thing. Cordelia knew what she was doing and he knew well not to urge her- it wasn't needed.

While she could see he was getting caught up in the moment, her hand felt the floor for the object she sought. The girl grabbed a piece of shattered glass from the picture frame, knowing exactly what piece she wanted, sly enough that her son hadn't even noticed. All the while she sucked him off, using the young girl's tongue and mouth in ways it'd never been used before.

In that moment, when he closed his eyes and moaned her name, Cordelia knew it was time. She swallowed as he finished in her mouth, figuring she'd at least give him some pleasure before he got his well deserved demise. "Oh Laito, I love you..." Her eyes glimmered passionately as she looked back up at him, the boy returning her loving expression.

"I love you more, mother." Laito said with a soft smile, too love stricken to realize anything was wrong. When he concentrated on doing back up his pants, the short girl shot up quickly, her arms wrapped around him and holding the glass where he couldn't see. Her eye lashes fluttered seductively, showing a new side to his Bitch-chan he didn't know that innocent body had.

"You're so handsome. Wont you give me a kiss in payment? Nfufu." Cordelia begged as she bit her lip, swaying her body lustfully against his own. She couldn't help but feel a bit turned on herself, this teenage body over flowing with hormones, on top of the woman's already high sex drive. But- she could save that for fucking the other men, while Laito burned in hell for disobeying her. Any man who disobeyed her, there was no use for them. Especially when Laito was the only thing pinning Yui to this world. That dumb blonde couldn't have picked a better person to fall in love with, her foolish son with his fatal attraction to his own mother. She almost had to stop herself from laughing out loud at how perfect this was.

Of course Laito obliged, kissing the mouth that just pleasured him so passionately. Cordelia returned it eagerly, having to play her part after all. As he was getting into it, willing to prove his heart and soul belonged to her, she plunged the glass as deep as she could into him- and hopefully in the heart.

His matching eyes widened in shock and betrayal, hands going to feel over the glass as the girl stood out of his reach. There was now crimson blood running onto his striped sweater, Cordelia smirking triumphantly at the sight of it. "Does it feel good? Nfufu. Mother loves you so much. Now fuck off and let me do what I came here to do.~"

Laito just stared at her, unsure how to reply. Physical pain wasn't much for a vampire, but with all these different types of pain and pleasure running through him, they canceled out and left him numb.

"No, not now!" His mother growled, clutching the pink fabric that lay over her heart. Of course that girl would want to come back now...

"Laito-kun!" Yui shouted, her eyes returning to normal as she were herself again. They were however filling up with tears, the sight of him hurt was too much for her. She -had- to help him! "I-I don't know what to do... A-are you going to be okay?" Her hands hovered over the glass, unsure if she should pull it out or not.

"She missed..." The vampire said in disbelief, still staring where Cordelia had just stood to stab him, seemingly ignoring Yui's very existence. As he took the piece of glass out of himself, the girl ended up panicking from the stream of blood that came out with it. Was he going to die? She didn't know what to do in these situations. Laito chucked the bloody object to the floor, turning now to give the blonde a reassuring smile. "I'll be fine, Bitch-chan."

"A-are you sure?" She asked, wanting to hug him and be close to him, but also not wanting to make it worse. Yui wasn't sure what happened, she felt like she'd been unconscious for so long. It was only when Laito-kun got hurt that she'd suddenly came to. Had... she been the one who hurt him? There was no one else around. It couldn't have been! Clutching her hands nervously, she had to ask, had to be sure. "I-I wasn't the one who hurt you, was I?"

"No." Laito said quietly, putting his hand to his forehead as he began to feel a bit light headed. The blood from his fingers smeared on his pale skin, making him look even more beat up than he was. He ended up sitting down at the edge of his bed, his worried girlfriend quickly sitting by his side.

Doing something unexpected, the boy suddenly hugged the small girl, embracing her tightly, his blood unintentionally smearing on her sweater. It felt romantic but the fact of kind of worried her. Was he lying about being fine? "L-Laito-kun?" Yui asked in shock, wrapping her arms around him gently, as if he'd get hurt more if she put any force behind it. She rested her head over his shoulder, her cheeks heating up slightly.

"Yui, I love you." He admitted, probably the most passionate she'd ever heard him speak to her.

While it touched her heart in many ways to hear him say those words, it only served to bring tears to her eyes. "D-don't speak like you're going to die... Don't leave me forever! Please, I don't want you to die!" Yui begged, the clear liquid streaming down her face in desperation. She buried her face in his wavy hair, the cooper scent of his blood filling the air but she could still smell his usual scent. It was comforting to her now, to know he was still alive and not dead yet.

His voice was quiet and comforting, and from what he said sounded like he was going insane. "Bitch-chan, why don't you die with me, hm? Dying together is kind of romantic, isn't it? Without sealing up this wound I'll probably bleed out in a few hours... so, let me kill you and we can both die by the hand of the one we love the most..."

A cold feeling fell over the human girl. It surely wasn't the time to feel jealous but, Laito said she hadn't hurt him. The one he loved most... Yui could only come to the conclusion that while unconscious Cordelia had taken over her body and... hurt him. And all because she'd been stupid and hadn't trusted him in the first place- or maybe she had plenty of reason to feel that way. Laito-kun was bleeding and almost dying and it was all her fault. What happened to her oath to protect him? Cordelia, Kanato and everyone else who may have called her selfish was right.

Laito spoke again, like he was almost pleading her to come die with him. "Don't you want to die in my arms? To kill someone is the ultimate love declaration. Let me show you how much I love you and maybe if Cordelia is still in there... I can show her too..."

She could feel his weight getting stronger against her, or maybe he was just losing his strength to sit up. Yui didn't know what to do. Laito-kun was set to die because it had been Cordelia who stabbed him. Even though she could scream, shout and beg, the blonde wasn't sure anything could be said to stop him. She wasn't pushy at all but... maybe one of the brothers could help her? Even though they acted like they didn't care, Ayato-kun or Kanato-kun wouldn't want their triplet brother to die, right?

"I-I'll be right back! Stay here, okay?" Yui wriggled out of her boyfriend's grasp, causing him to fall over on the bed, still waiting happily for his own death.

The desperate, blood stained girl ran down the hallway, keeping special attention to where she was. She knew how to get to Laito's room from her own, but if she'd gotten lost that wouldn't be any good. He said he had a few hours before he bled out completely but even then, Yui wanted to help him as soon as possible. It would take time to seal the wound too. Her throat was getting dry and raw the more she ran through the identical hallways, but it was fine, she'd take any pain to save him now.

Like an unknown savior, Ayato appeared, Yui quickly running over to him. She was too out of breath to speak right away, but the blood quickly piqued his interest to stay.

"Hahaha, what kind of kinky shit has he made you do? Have you seeked out Yours Truly to help you? You must really be desperate. Wait..." The vampire leaned forward smelling over her sweater to discover it wasn't Yui's blood she was soaked in, but his brother's. His green eyes widened, wondering what this could mean. Had Yui caught him cheating again and lost it? Maybe Reiji had found out about the murder? Oh shit.

"Ayato-kun, please help!" The blonde begged, her tears welling up in her eyes. "I can't explain what happened but Laito-kun got hurt and now he refuses to close the wound. Please, you wont let him die, will you?"

The way she was looking at him, so desperate and pathetic. Unless she were mad, it couldn't have been her who'd hurt his brother. But who? And why had Laito suddenly turned suicidal, or whatever this was? That wasn't the brother Ayato knew. Laito could kill someone, heck many people without that giddy smirk wiping from his face and now... That stupid idiot. What the fuck was he doing? The triplet sighed, running a hand through his red locks in frustration. "We should get Kanato, he could probably close the wound."

Yui smiled lightly in relief. Ayato wanted to help him after all? Just hopefully Kanato felt the same way. "O-okay." She nodded.

The three found themselves outside Laito's bedroom, Kanato agreeing to help and bringing some sewing equipment along to do so. It made her wonder if he'd done stuff like this before, their presumably dark pasts a mystery to her. Yui clutched her hands tightly over her heart as she let Ayato open the door, hoping Laito-kun hadn't died in the mean time. It would kill her if he had to die alone.

"I wonder if he's still alive, what do you think, Teddy?" The shorter boy said quietly to his bear, stepping into the room to find his brother still laying on his bed, looking rather lifeless.

Yui ran quickly to her love's side, seeing his eyes were still half open, the shade of green giving her happiness to know he was still alive. The blood however... there was much more, you could barely tell his sweater was striped anymore it was soaked so heavily. "Laito-kun, please speak to me!"

"Is that an order, Bitch-chan?" The boy smiled lightly, reaching up to stroke her cheek, still in a daze as he lost more blood. He stared at Yui, his eyes sparkly and trance-like, not seeming to notice as Kanato began cutting at the fabric of his sweater.

"Make sure he stays awake during this unless he might not wake up." Kanato said, preparing to stitch up the wound in front of him.

There was so much blood, that crimson color making her sick. she couldn't look at it- especially coming from him. Yui clutched his bloody hand in her own, mostly dried and flaked at this point. "Laito, I love you so much. You can't die." Her tears spilled out on to his cheek. All he could see at this point was Bitch-chan crying for him, and when the hot liquid met his skin he could almost understand her feelings.

Ayato rolled his eyes, sitting at his brother's other side. "Tsch, tell him something that wont bore him to death, titless." The red head began speaking to him then, Laito not noticing anyone else was in the room until now. "Come on, you fucker. If you don't bleed to death tonight we can get some hookers tomorrow night, the kind with double D's like Yours Truly likes- the opposite of Yui basically. Surely you're getting bored of that flat chest of hers."

The blonde frowned. "Laito-kun doesn't want those things, right?" She clutched his hand tighter in her own. "We can get married and have children together, okay Laito-kun? Don't you want to live for those things? I love you so much."

Ayato groaned in response, seeing he'd have to do all the work. The way Yui was going on, heck he'd kill Laito himself to get him away from that boring fate. "Maybe we can get a taste of Subaru's new girlfriend together, come on, wouldn't that be fun?"

"No, Laito's only allowed to suck -my- blood!"

"Oh my fuck, titless. We're going to lose him at this point."

"It's done." Kanato said quietly, interrupting their bickering as the two peered at him.

"W-will he be okay?" The blonde asked with worry, even though the wound was sealed up, he still didn't look too good. He was so far gone he wasn't even speaking anymore, just staring up at the chandelier blankly, a small smile on his face for when he'd meet his demise.

"Just give him some of your blood." The middle triplet said as if it were obvious, packing up his sewing supplies together.

She supposed that would help but... in the state he was in, what if he still wanted to die by Cordelia's hands? "What if he refuses to bite me?" Both of his brother's thought the question was so preposterous it didn't even need an answer. There was no way Laito would refuse a girl's blood, at least not in their minds. And they might have been right if he were his usual self. Peering to Ayato now, a thought occurred to her. "Do you still have that potion, Ayato-kun?"

"Yeah, why? Don't tell me this was too much for you to handle." The red head almost laughed at how squeamish she was.

"N-no, not for me just... I think something horrible happened to Laito-kun and..." Yui peered at her love sadly. Of course she had an idea what could have happened but she couldn't let on to Kanato and Ayato about their mother's reappearance. She had to play dumb. "I-I mean, what I told you before about how he wants to die. If he can forget, he'd turn into his old self again and hopefully regain the will to live."

Ayato knew it was true. With that wound, Laito could have saved himself easily if he'd tended to it fast enough. But he hadn't. Instead he laid here to die. It boggled his mind what could have put his brother in such a state, handing the bottle over to the blonde to go though with her plan.

Yui poured the strange liquid into his mouth, feeling thankful Laito could forget whatever happened to him. She'd protect him from now. There was no way she'd let Cordelia have control over her body again- ever. Even if Laito-kun told her to go away forever, even if he slept with 1000 other women, she'd stay to protect him. After he'd swallowed it all, she handed the empty bottle back to his brother, Ayato slipping it back into his pocket.

"Thank you two so much." She admitted, their actions truly affecting her. Maybe the boys all had some good about them after all- well she already knew that.

Ayato turned his nose away stubbornly and Kanato frowned, looking down at Teddy. "She's so selfish, Teddy. I didn't do anything for her sake."

Yui couldn't help but smile lightly, even though he'd insulted her again. That was probably the sweetest thing she'd ever heard Kanato say, without meaning to of course. The triplets maybe-somewhat cared about each other? "O-of course."

After the two left, she sat down on the bed with him. The memory potion must've taken effect because Laito was beginning to come to again, although weakly he'd lifted himself up to sit. "Huh?... Bitch-chan?... What happened?" The vampire peered around his room in confusion, noticing the broken picture frame and blood. He looked down at himself, seeing his ripped sweater and blood soaked body. But he didn't remember who had injured him. It couldn't have been Bitch-chan?

"Reiji-san was trying to get answers about that murder from the dance... He thought you were the most likely suspect so he injured you. I got Ayato and Kanato to help and... I-I'm so glad you're okay!" Yui sobbed, clutching onto his arm tightly.

The vampire scratched his head with his free arm, flaked blood falling from his forehead, wondering why he hadn't remembered Reiji punishing him. But, it seemed like the most likely conclusion. Who else would want to hurt him at this moment? Maybe Bitch-chan had all the rights to, but he knew she didn't have it in her.

"I-If you need any blood to feel better, please take all that you need!" The young girl offered, pulling her hair away from her neck, her bare flesh put directly in front of him.

Of course Laito couldn't refuse when she offered so kindly, his sharp fangs soon meeting her skin as he 'took all that he needed' and then maybe a little more.

All the while, Yui clutched onto him the way he liked. She was so happy her love was still alive. Even though he'd never remember himself, the way he said he loved her before he was about to die, it meant a lot to her. He even said her name with it. Maybe the girl could live with him loving Cordelia more than her, just as long as he continued loving her too- if only a little bit.

To be continued...

(AN: I'm sorry for the disturbing LaitoxCordelia scene but I didn't think Laito could exactly say no at that point... ;w; It was disturbing to write too, I promise. Especially with Yui's body... D; Wah. I was so tempted to just put "And then blow job happened." XD Least he doesn't remember now. And poor Yui will never know what Cordelia did to her body... Maybe her mouth tastes funny. Oh god... let's think of happy things like the kawaii triplet bro moment. I was worried it might have been too easy to injure Laito, or talk about him potentially dying but in the anime Cordelia was thrown over the balcony bleeding and Laito was under the impression she would die so... Anyways, please review! :3 )
