A/N: Hi! I hope you all like this chapter since it's mostly filler and I suck at it.
TheTranslator001: It bothers me as well, but in reality that is there personalities. They manipulate these girls into being their tools and that's how it is. Some of these girls are just stupid and think they can change them and others are sad enough to just accept it.
...
Tsuna was locked inside the house for the next week. She didn't exactly mind at first, but she soon became bored out of her mind just staring at the walls or reading her zombie slaying book. Sighing she flipped onto her stomach and kicked her blankets onto the floor, watching as the dust under her bed drifted onto the middle of the floor like tiny grey snowflakes. The sight amused her for a moment before she sighed again and twisted herself around, letting her legs dangle over the side of the bed. She was sick to death of just lying around and not having anything to do, even having Ayato annoy her would be better than this.
Standing up properly the girl pulled on some proper clothes before cautiously leaving the room. Glancing down the halls for several seconds she made sure there were no vampires before going to go explore. She had been around the mansion for over a month and she hadn't explored the entire house. Tip-toeing down the halls she made her way past the large windows that showed the soft glow of night and the shadows that mixed with them.
Going to the end of a passage she found a door that was slightly ajar, light cascading onto the violet carpet close by. Just outside it she could smell oil as well as something musty as if whatever was inside had been hidden away for years. Taking hold of her courage she opened the door and found...A piano. It was large and black similar to the ones played in fancy concert halls with a black stool in front of it and yellowed sheet music propped on the music stand. Walking across the now wood floors she made her way to the beautiful instrument and carefully touched a key. A low note emitted from it, echoing in the bare room and making a shiver run down the girl's spine.
Gathering her yellow skirt in hand she maneuvered herself to sit on the low stool and sat down as her hands gently hovered over the white and black keys. Humming a soft tune to herself she moved her fingers in time with the song, eyes shut and head swaying as she got caught up in the music. As such she didn't notice as a vampire appeared in the only other chair in the large room, eyes closed as he listened to the human play. When she finally stopped he opened one eye to glance at her and scoffed when he sized her up. "You're form is wrong."
She whipped her head around and stared at Shu with large eyes. "You all just appearing out of no where is disturbing." She turned back to the piano. "Anyway, I wasn't even really trying to play anyway."
"...I can tell."
"How?"
He opened one eye. "Your posture..."
Tsuna frowned as she placed a hand over her lower back. "My posture?"
"Yes," He said. "you're supposed to sit up straight..."
The girl sighed and forcibly moved her back up, when she did she was as straight as an arrow. "Is that better?"
"Why are you asking me?"
The girl bit her lip at the question. He had a good point, why was she asking him? Afterall he was the same man who would be more tan happy to tear into her neck and leave her bleeding out on the floor simply because she woke him up in the middle of a nap, yet here she was asking if her posture was good enough to play piano. "I guess because you're the one who said something about it..."
"...Hn..."
The two sat in silence for several moments before the door opened and Reiji walked in. He stared at the two of them for several moments, garnet eyes narrowing in irritation. "It is time for dinner."
Tsuna felt her heart begin to pound in worry. Not once had anyone ever bothered to tell her when to eat and with this announcement she felt like a lamb being taken to the slaughter. "W-we're eating all together?"
Reiji glanced over to her. "Of course, why else would I bother to inform you of dinner?"
"I'm not a cannibal though..."
The eldest vampire sat up with a heavy sigh. "Once a month we all come together to eat human food, such a pain."
The girl let out a breath and stood up silently going to the dining room. As she left however, she noticed Reiji glaring at her. Swallowing nervously she picked up her pace, praying that he wasn't considering eating her as well.
...
The meals that Tsuna normally ate were simple. Her mother had never been much of a cook and her father didn't like to cook, as such she had to teach herself or get take out. But the presented food before looked like something out of a rich man's catalog. There was large pans of some meat pastry with cheese bubbling in the middle, deep pots of soup that smelled heavily of sausage and rosemary, and lovely cakes that were decorated with dark chocolate icing. There was also bottles of wine that had colorful labels that posted an old date and had a musty smell of time to prove it.
At the moment Subaru was the only one sitting at the table. He was staring off into space with that look of irritation that always clouded his face. The other grand chairs were empty but there was also enough space for Tsuna to sit as well.
The girl felt her stomach grumble as she walked up to the table, the scent of the food almost overpowering her other senses. "That smells good." She mumbled to herself.
Going to the very edge of the table at an outside seat she sat down with a small grin on her face. Maybe there was perks to being a vampire meal, at least if she ate like this every single night. Her thoughts cut off as Kanato sat next to her, his bear placed in his lap and a bright look in his normally dull eyes. Her body stiffened and she looked down at the floor, the memory of the last time she was with the sweet loving vampire coming to the forefront of her mind. Her wound had healed up but there was a small scar that would always remind her to never let her guard down.
"The cake looks good," He murmured. "doesn't it Teddy?"
Tsuna watched as he played with the demented looking bear until he glanced over to her. "Maybe it'll taste better with your blood on it. Ater all the last cake you made tasted wonderful with blood drizzled over each bite."
She felt her stomach churn at his words. "I..." She literally had nothing else to say, his words were just too disgusting.
She shifted somewhat and tried to make herself appear smaller an act that caused Subaru to let out an amused snort at her efforts.
Kanato ignored his brother and leaned forward smoothing out her bangs, his cold skin making her own become clammy."You want that don't you?"
Before she could answer she was jerked up by Ayato. "Get the hell off her, Crybaby."
The violet haired vampire glared up at his younger brother. "She's not just for you!" He balled up his fists. "Why do you always hog her?"
Ayato gave a fanged grin. "Because Ore-sama claimed her. You should have worked faster, Crybaby."
Kanato's eyes narrowed and he leaned forward to snatch Tsuna back but she immediately backed away. The action was inocent enough, she didn't trust Kanato, but he saw it differently. To him she was outright refusing him and would rather have her blood taken by his younger brother. The very thought made his sluggish blood boil and he hissed ready to wipe that smug look off his face but stopped when Reiji entered the room.
The older vampire took one look at them and shook his head. "The three of you sit down and wait for the rest of our drabble to come."
Ayato smirked and led Tsuna to his side of the table, sitting her down on the outer edge so that no one could sit next to her. After a few moments Laito strode in with a disinterested look and sat down next to Ayato. "Hm, Slut-chan isn't part of the main course?"
Reiji didn't look up from his cuff links he was busy fiddling with. "You know that she is a guest and as such must eat with us, do not plea ignorance Laito."
The red-headed vampire grinned. "Ah, but wouldn't you like to see a naked Slut-chan gagged and bound up with a white creamy sauce all over her."
"There wouldn't be much to look at." Ayato pointed out, looking over Tsuna's small frame.
The girl shifted as she felt all of her dignity drain away at Ayato's comment. How could he go on about how she was all his when he was busy discussing how she ought to be bound up like a pig and eaten! She grit her teeth and thanked God when Shu finally stumbled into the room, sliding into a seat opposite Reiji.
"Your late." The 'head' of the house hold said.
"Hn."
Reiji's eyes narrowed but instead of fighting with his brother he picked up a fork. "You may all eat now."
As soon as the first dish, the meat and cheese pastry, was passed to Tsuna she took a bite of it and practically hummed from happiness. An explosion of flavor exploded along her tongue, a light tanginess that mixed with a somewhat bitter taste, creating a plethora of good feelings in her stomach.
"Your table manners are deplorable." Reiji commented as he watched her lean forward with one elbow on the table. "Were you raised in a den of wolves?"
The girl flushed and removed her arm and sat up, some of the cheese sticking to the corner oof her mouth. "No..."
"Excuse me if I don't believe you."
She nodded and spent the rest of the dinner picking at her food. By the time everyone was excused Tsuna had only eaten two meat pastries and half a slice of chocolate cake. Going back to her room on a nearly empty stomach she decided to read some fairy-tale to see how a princess ate since her family of tomboy and...well boys, didn't teach her how to eat like a lady.
...
Reiji stared at the vial in his hand, watching the light from his desk bounce of o it and make images on the walls. Inside the vial was a foul-smelling liquid that was a dark red color and would sluggishly slosh against the glass. Turning it around to read the faded label he grinned and set it back on the desk.
"Now all we have to do is wait."
