Author's note: Hi again!:)This time, the story is – Oh, right, no spoilers! Well, I hope everyone likes it, anyway!:) This is a little different, though, this chapter ties in with Ruki's _ route from Dark Fate from Yui's perspective, so it involves a lot of dialogue from the Diabolik Lovers: Dark Fate itself. The next few chapters will be more of the 'fanfiction' part. All dialogues and characters here are credited to Rejet, and to the lovely Akuichansera on tumblr who translated Ruki's route!:) Cookies for reviews, anyone? *noms a chocolate chip cookie*

Chapter one: The choice
'Ruki. Which do you choose? To use the little luck you have left to look forward to a misfortunate life with the woman… Or, will you accept your fate as it is—Meaning, will you end your life?'
Karlheinz-san stood in the middle of the orphanage room, with Kou-kun, Yuma-kun and Azusa-kun on the other side, looking pained, offering Ruki-kun a choice. A choice that would decide the entire course of his life.
Ruki-kun… You know what you would want best, and I will always support you! But…
Deep inside, I knew that I wanted Ruki-kun to live. Even if he were to live a luckless life, I would be there beside him, and I would do my best to help him! But…I also knew, that this was his decision to make, and despite having my own opinions, I will always respect the decision he chooses in the end, whichever it is, for it is his life. I shouldn't be so selfish as to make him live in agony for eternity, just because I wanted to have him forever. Also, if I were to die someday… Ruki-kun would be alone…
I can't torture Ruki-kun like that!
'…Yui. Will you…accept whichever path I choose?' Ruki-kun was serious now, and I could tell that my support would mean the world to him.
Knowing this, I answered as bravely as I could.
'…I will. I'll accept whatever you choose. So, I hope that you have an answer to what you really want. Don't worry, no matter what you choose, my feelings will never change.'
Please, let this comfort Ruki-kun. Be brave, Ruki-kun…! I'll always be by your side, no matter what!
'…I'm happy to hear that.' Ruki-kun speaks softly, smiling at me.
'Now…let's hear your answer. The child who had obtained love…Which, do you want?'
'…I'm sorry, Yui. I…accept my fate.'
