* In the Swimming Pool Room. *
"Didn't I say that I will be your first for everything? You completely ignored that and let Subaru be your first. Candy, you should be punished for this." Ayato said as he looked at where Yuki submerged. "Now, tell me that you're sorry. Beg for your forgiveness."
Yuki swam towards the surface, but she was going up and down in the water.
"Say that I'm better than anyone else and that you belong to me."
"Ayato..." Yuki called as she tried to keep herself from sinking. "I... can't..." Yuki then sank down into the pool.
As Ayato watched Yuki drowning, he recalled his past of what he experienced when he was younger. His mother had punished him for being disobedient and drowned him by a nearby lake. His mother just stood there watching and when Ayato asked for help, she just left.
Ayato then went back to the present time and jumped into the pool after Yuki. He swam towards her and he grabbed her by the hand. Yuki had fainted and Ayato stared at her. He then kissed her and Yuki opened her eyes. Ayato then looked at her and he pulled her shirt down her shoulder. He kissed her collarbone but he moved up to her shoulder and pierced his fangs into her. Yuki opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came out since they were under water. As Ayato drank Yuki's blood, his eyes widened from the taste of it. He then swam up to the surface and carried Yuki in his arms.
When he reached the surface, Yuki was coughing out some of the pool water and Ayato was grinning.
"Your blood is flowing through my body..." Ayato said. "It totally overwhelms me."
"Please... make it stop..." Yuki pleaded as she hugged Ayato tightly.
Ayato looked at her.
"You're hopeless..." He told her. "I guess I'll let you have my mercy for today." Ayato swam towards the ledge of the pool and climbed up.
Yuki was coughing and she looked at Ayato. He draped a towel on Yuki's head and smirked. Ayato then stood up and walked away. Yuki touched her lips as she watched Ayato leave.
He... kissed me... Yuki thought and blushed.
Yuki then shook her head and stood up. She then headed to her room.
* Outside, near the house. *
An unknown man was looking at the house in a forest near the Sakamaki household.
* In Yui's Room. *
Yui woke up and saw that she was in her room. She sat up and saw that no one was in the room. She crawled to the edge of the bed and got off of the bed. She walked towards the door and opened it. Yui peeked outside and she headed towards the room, where she found her father's diary.
* In a room. *
Yui arrived and she entered. She looked around and found her father's diary on the floor.
"Found it!" Yui said happily.
She opened the diary and flipped through the pages. Her eyes widened.
"How can this be?" She said. "It's all gone."
The pages that were written by Yui and Yuki's father are all blank. The diary slid out off Yui's hands.
~Meanwhile~
Yuki had changed out of her uniform and she wore a white, unbuttoned cardigan with a black tank inside. She also wore a dark blue pleated skirt that went above her knees and black leggings with black boots. She headed towards the gardens.
* In the gardens. *
Yuki walked through the rows of white roses. She was enjoying the white roses until someone called out to her.
"Miss Yuki."
Yuki turned around to see the butler that she saw when she arrived.
"Yes...?" Yuki answered him.
The butler then held out an envelope.
"A letter arrived that is addressed to you."
Yuki took the letter and the butler left. She stared at the envelope and then she turned it to the front. It was addressed to "Yuki Komori". She then saw who sent the envelope to her and her eyes widened.
"Shiki!" Yuki said as she saw the name, "Shiki Kuroki".
She opened the envelope and it read:
Yuki,
How are you? Are you feeling better? 'That' hasn't come back, right? Besides, I haven't heard from you for a while now... when I called your cell phone, you didn't pick up. Also I'm being released from the hospital today... that's why I'm writing to you. Anyways, you're probably wondering how I got your address... well, I asked your dad and he just gave it to me... I feel like something is weird at where you live. 'Cuz when I searched up the address, there was nothing... I wasn't sure if I should send this. If this letter reached you, then write back to me. I feel lonely when you don't talk to me...
From, Shiki
Yuki giggled.
"Would you like something to write back, Miss Yuki?" the butler asked.
"Yes, please. You can just bring the things to my room... thank you." Yuki answered and the butler bowed and left.
Yuki put the letter back inside the envelope.
"Hey."
Yuki turned around and she saw Subaru.
"Subaru..." Yuki said. "... do you need something?"
"No..." Subaru replied and he looked over to what Yuki was holding. "What's that?"
Yuki quickly put the letter behind her back. "Nothing...!"
"Hand it over." Subaru ordered.
"No..."
"Just hand it over."
Subaru snapped and he walked over to Yuki. He grabbed her wrist and held her hand up.
"Ow..." Yuki muttered.
Subaru took the letter from her hand and he opened the envelope and read the letter. He then let go of Yuki's wrist and he crumpled the letter up.
"... what are you doing...?" Yuki asked.
"thing"? Subaru thought as he read the letter.
Subaru ignored her and left as he took the crumpled letter with him. Yuki ran towards him and grabbed his arm. He stopped.
"Subaru!" Yuki called.
"Let go!" Subaru hissed and he flung Yuki towards the rose bushes.
Yuki landed beside the rose bushes and some the thorns had pierced her hand. The blood dyed the white roses into red roses. Subaru scoffed and he let go of the crumpled letter. He walked over to Yuki and helped her out of the bushes. Yuki looked at Subaru with hurt.
"Subaru... please give me the letter back." Yuki said.
Subaru stared at Yuki. Her left cheek was scratched by a thorn and it was bleeding. He licked the blood off and stood up. He walked over to the crumpled letter and picked it up.
"I'm sorry..." Subaru mumbled and left. "... For biting you and throwing you..."
Yuki stared at Subaru's back with surprise from hearing Subaru apologize. She stood up and decided to give up on the letter and headed to her room.
* In Yuki's room. *
Yuki saw that on her desk were the things she asked the butler to get for her. She hid the things away inside her desk and went down for dinner.
* In the dinning room. *
Yuki opened the door and everyone was already sitting at the table. Only Yui and Laito weren't here yet.
"... I'm sorry that I'm late..." Yuki apologized.
Reiji tried his best to be calm, but you could feel the annoyance from him.
"It's fine. Just sit down." Reiji said and Yuki sat down, across from Shu. "Where's your sister?" Reiji asked.
"... I'm not sure... I didn't see her when I woke up..." Yuki answered.
Reiji's face showed that he was clearly annoyed with Yui's and Laito's tardiness. Yuki decided to look around the table. Shu had his eyes closed and was listening to music. Ayato looked as if he was sleeping, but he probably was awake with his eyes closed. Kanato was mumbling something to Teddy. Reiji was annoyed. Subaru just sat there quietly, but stared at Yuki.
Then, the door opened and Yuki looked behind her chair. She only saw Laito. He walked over to his seat next to Kanato and sat down.
"Laito," Reiji growled. "you're late. Do I have to punish you for being late?"
Laito pouted, but then grinned. "Sure. I've had my fun for today. Little Bitch is sleeping." Laito said.
Reiji sighed in frustration. He then faced Yuki.
"Yuki, after dinner I'll have you take your sister's dinner up to her room."
"... okay..." Yuki said.
"Let's eat." Reiji said.
Yui... Yuki thought.
