First Day with the Mukami's
Dreamland:
Walking aimlessly in the open space in only her uniform, barefoot, Yui looks up to see the tree that has been appearing in her dreams for days. She walks towards it to get a closer look, and once she is in reach, she stretches out her hand to feel it…
Waking up, Yui notices her hand stretched out in front of her as if reaching for something. She sits up and glances around the room. It's different from her room at the Sakamaki's…
The Sakamaki's… I wonder if they even know I'm gone. Or if Ruki's words were really true; I really am just a blood bank to them…
Not wanting to think about the subject any longer, she notices that she's no longer in her uniform anymore, but a green button-up negligee. Alluriana probably dressed her.
She also sees her clothing from before hanging on a chair near her bed. She decides to dress in that clothing if she's going to wander around the mansion to find everyone.
Once dressed in her blank tank top, pink off shoulder pull over with brown shorts and knee high boots, she walks out of the room and searches for any of the vampire siblings. She especially wanted to see Alluriana and apologize for the words she said when she was comparing the Mukami's with the Sakamaki's. She also wanted to know how her always kind persona changed rather dark when she said those words as well. Alluriana knows the pasts of the Sakamaki brothers as well; did she know them in her childhood? It would make sense since she is also a full-blooded vampire like them, but then the Sakamaki's don't recognize her. Wanting some answers and thinking to herself, she hears voices coming from one of the doors down the hallway.
She comes closer to hear some verbal sparring between the brothers.
"What do you think you're doing?! Give me that!" Yuma growls out.
"HEY!" Whines Kou. "What gives?! That's my fried prawn!"
Yui comes closer to scene to see Yuma holding up the food in a fork with one hand while holding little Makoto in his free arm. Kou and Azusa are also in the room sitting at a dinner table. Ruki and Alluriana seem to be missing from the group. The brothers have changed from their uniforms and into more casual clothing. Yuma is wearing a black and white v-neck vest with a black jacket and black pants; necklace still in-tact. Kou is wearing a black long sleeve with a lavender shirt over top, and magenta jacket. His pants are also black and reach his knees and his shoes are white and reach mid-calf. Azusa is wearing a button-up grey blouse under a white sweater thrown on top. He is without his beret and Yui can see bandages wrapped around his neck. Makoto is changed into a black long sleeve with white sweatpants and little black socks at his feet. He has a bat pacifier at his mouth and is watching the scene between his father and uncle in curiosity.
"Don't just take the last fried prawn like it's yours!" Yuma narrows his eyes. "Don't you know the meaning of 'equal shares'?"
"Hmph!" Scoffs Kou. "It's first come, first served, Baka!" As soon as the words are out of his mouth, the blonde reaches for the fork Yuma has in his hand.
"Ha!" Yuma moves back and raises the fork higher, being as he is the tallest. "Too slow!"
Kou whines, still trying to reach for the delicacy in his hand, but gives up. He leans back into his chair and sulks.
"Oi, Azusa." He turns his attention to his green haired brother. "Don't you want it? You didn't each much."
"I'll take it… If you're giving it to me…" Azusa replied.
"Now, that's not what I asked. Just tell me if you want it or not."
"Okay…" He says. "I want it."
Yuma places the fried prawn on his brother's plate. "Here."
"What do I keep telling you guys?" A new voice enters the room and places a full plate of fried prawn at the dinner table. "Keep it down while we're at dinner."
Yui turns to find Ruki serving more rounds of food at the table. He's now wearing a grey long sleeve with a lighter grey jacket over top and black pants; his choker still around his neck.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Yuma waves him off and sits down, cradling his son near him. Makoto makes cooing noises while the brown-haired male looks down at him. "What, you want some too buddy?" He rubs the little one's cheek with his finger, and the boy grabs onto it and makes more babbling noises around the pacifier. This makes Yuma smirk.
"Yay!" Cheers Kou. "More for me!" He takes another friend prawn from the plate with his fork and happily chews. Yuma was about to retort about the blonde taking more since he's already more, when a certain vampiress enters the room with another plate of fried prawn in her hand. The plate she carries has more than what Ruki brought in.
Yui looks at Alluriana and see she changed as well. She's wearing an off shoulder black long sleeve tucked into a burgundy skirt that reaches mid-thigh. Her ever present choker is still wrapped around her thigh and she's wearing black ballet flats that tie around her calf.
"Settle down, Yuma-kun. I made an extra plate when Ruki wasn't looking just for you and Azusa." She smiles at him.
"And that's why I love you." He grins as she sets the plate down between Yuma and Azusa.
Kou rolls his eyes and continues munching on the plate Ruki brought in.
"And you." Ruki addresses the human blonde in the room. Now all vampires turning their attention to Yui. "You should eat as well."
Yui nods. "Okay."
She takes a seat to the right of Ruki, who is at the head of the table. Alluriana sets a plate of dinner in front of her and once all the food is spread, she takes her seat… on Yuma's lap, where it seems the brunette vampire enjoys sitting her there the most. The noirette takes Makoto from him and cradles the infant in one of her arms, now situated for the couple to eat while their son rolls his eyes around the room mindlessly.
Yui looks down at her plate and is pleasantly surprised on how good the food looks. She looks over to Ruki and asks, "Did you cook this?"
"And if I did?" He asks, cutting into his dinner with his eyes down.
Yui startles. "N-Nothing! It's just… I'm amazed you can cook, is all." She replies.
"Don't give all the credit to him!" Huffs Alluriana. "I was in the kitchen too! Unless you think cooking is something expected out of me, being a woman and all." She narrows her eyes playfully.
"N-Not at all, Alluriana-Chan!" She says, flustered.
Yui watches the brothers. Yuma and Kou verbally sparring at each other again as it seems Kou ate his plate of fried prawn and wants more from the plate Alluriana brought out. Azusa quietly sitting as Yuma is piling food on his plate. Alluriana being the mediator and telling Kou she can make more for him while Yuma protests and tells her, 'her ass is not getting out of this seat unless she's making food for him.' Ruki is calmly eating his dinner while ignoring the commotion between the siblings and finally, Makoto is sitting up in his mother's lap watching the scene in amusement as he's giggling between his dad and uncle fighting over food.
"You're all very close." The blonde observes. "It's kind of refreshing to see." She tells Ruki.
Taking a sip of his tea, he replies, "Hurry up and eat. We don't have time."
"Time?"
"That's right!" Kou replies as he's already out of his seat and heading towards the door. "We have to go to school."
"Oh.." Yui stands as well. "I have to go as well.."
"No you don't!" Alluriana says as she walks towards the door as well where the brothers are standing near. "You're staying here until further notice, Yui-Chan.~"
"The Sakamaki brothers will be at school too.." Replies Ruki.
"B-But-"
"The one in charge of keeping an eye on M Neko-Chan today will be Azusa-kun." Says Kou.
Yui turns to see the green haired brother is still sitting at the dinner, hands folded on top.
"Just Eve and me… I'm so happy." Azusa says in a dazed voice.
Alluriana giggles. "Have fun with Yui, Onii-Chan! We'll see you two when we come back!~" With that said, she and the brothers head out the door to prepare for night school.
The brothers, excluding Azusa, Alluriana, and Makoto arrive at the academy within 15 minutes of leaving the mansion. As each Mukami step out the limo, Ruki turns his head to see the Sakamaki's throwing hateful glares at the group. He scoffs at the sight.
"Those spoiled brats really know how to ruin my mood," Ruki grumbles.
"Onii-Chan, just ignore them! It's not like we did anything to them; they're just mad because they're not the center of attention anymore.." Alluriana rolls her eyes. "Not like I actually want the attention."
"Tch! If I see another pretty boy leaving love letters in your locker I'm giving them a pounding!" Yuma growls out.
"Enough. Let's just head to class, and Alluriana; be on your guard. Seems like those Sakamaki's have taken an interest in you for some reason." Ruki warns, noticing how their eyes are scrutinizing the young vampiress.
Alluriana waves him off as they all enter the school and head to their respective classes.
Coming out of her third class of the day, Makoto starts acting fussy in the noirette's arms; a sign that the little vampire is hungry.
"Hungry, my sweet?~" She giggles.
Makoto grunts in confirmation.
"Hn, I keep forgetting to bring a blanket.." She sighs. "Let's go find daddy and hide in his cape again, ha?" She bounces him while walking down the halls, earning a giggle from her son.
Not noticing where she's walking as she's in her own world with her son, she nearly trips over something blocking her steps in the hallway. She squeals, but luckily, she caught herself before she can actually hit the floor. Looking down to see what tripped her, she sees a pair of legs. Legs that belong to none other than…
"Keep it down."
The eldest son, Shu Sakamaki.
Even though her thoughts on the Sakamaki's aren't exactly pleasant due to her past, she supposes some aren't as bad as the others. Shu is one of them, as he doesn't bother her or the brothers and minds his business, unlike the others. She can guess it's because of his ever-present laziness, but she's not complaining.
"I apologize, Sakamaki Shu.. I wasn't watching where I was going, seeing that I have to keep my son entertained before he blows a gasket on how hungry he is." She giggles.
Shu doesn't bother to open his eyes or acknowledge the full-blooded vampires in front of him, even though Reiji did say he wanted more information out of those two specifically. But since when did he actually listen to his little brother?
Alluriana doesn't even find offense to his non-verbal response and bows lightly. "Please excuse us." With that, she turns to a corner down the hall and continues her search for Yuma.
Unbeknownst to her, Shu opened his eyes and followed her with them the minute she started walking away.
Why does her scent smell… familiar? He wondered. She smells like peaches and… apples. Apples that Edgar used to give me as a child. Does she know the same tree they grew on?
He continued playing the thought around in his mind but decides to give up on the subject.
Finally coming across to Yuma's class, she knocks on the door and waits for a response.
The sensei greets her at the entrance. "Ah, how can I help you little miss?"
She bows politely. "I-I'm Alluriana… I was wondering if I can pull Yuma aside for a bit? I-It's important."
"Of course." He turns to the front of the class and announces, "Mukami Yuma. An Alluriana is asking for a moment of your time."
Yuma, with confusion written on his face, stands from his desk and heads towards the door where his girlfriend is waiting. Once out, she drags him near a bench in the hall.
"What is it? Did those Sakamaki's give you trouble?" He growls.
"N-No Yuma-kun.." She blushes, embarrassed of what she's going to ask. "I actually came because Makoto is hungry.. and I don't have a blanket to cover myself, and your cape is the only thing that protects me and him. So I came to get you for your assistant." She rambles.
Yuma chuckles and pulls her to his lap, earning a squeal from the noirette. He then reaches back and drapes his cape across her body and wraps his arms around her waist, holding her securely. "Go for it, babe."
She grins and pulls her shirt up, unhooks her nursing bra strap from its cup and pulls a fussy Makoto to her chest. He immediately latches on and calms down.
"Do you know when the little guy will grow in his fangs?" Yuma asks curiously, since she is a full-blooded vampire.
"They'll start growing in at the 6 month mark, then his regular teeth will progress at the year mark. We'll have to buy special teething rings from him since his gums will be sore from the sudden growth of fangs. We'll also have to learn how to control his feeding habits once they come in; he'll start desiring blood by then." She explains.
He nods at the given information and lays his chin on her shoulder, watching a mother and son's bonding moment.
As the school day went by, it was finally over and the Mukami's are in the limo on their way back home.
Alluriana wonders how Yui was, considering the fact she was left with Azusa. She knew Azusa can be a little weird sometimes with his knife collection, but she never judged him for it. She loved her Onii-Chan all the same.
The limo comes to a halt at the mansion and everyone steps out to do their own thing. Alluriana teleports into Yui's room and finds her unconscious. She giggles and shakes her head; she knew her older brother drained the human girl.
Yui stirs when she heard a giggle, and raises slowly. She looks down to see she's still in her casual clothes. She couldn't help but shudder at the memory of the green-haired Mukami brother. He had introduced her to his knife collection and explained how he has a need for pain, for being in pain will make the other happy. He even asked her to cut him; put pain on him! Then she did so, accidentally, and sucked on her blood until her vision was blurry and her body was heavy. At least she was still alive, but she didn't know if that was exactly a good thing or a bad thing.
"So you're awake, Yui-chan.~" A voice calls out.
Yui turns her head to see Alluriana in her room sitting in a chair with a sleeping Makoto in her arms, still in clad school uniform.
"How was your day with Zuzu? I know he made you go to sleep." She says.
"Ah… He was fine, n-no worries."
The vampiress nods silently. "That's good, at least he didn't give you too much trouble." She smiles softly.
Yui nods at her friend. She still had questions about how the girl knew about the Sakamaki's pasts, and why she despised them since she had a dark look after the comment she made in comparison between the families.
"Alluriana…" She hesitates.
"Hn? What is it?"
Yui gulps. "H-How.." There's a tremble in her voice. She didn't know how to ask this question without having the girl get furious with her. "How do you know about the Sakamaki's?"
Alluriana blinks. "Ne? Who doesn't know of them?"
"No.. How do you know about their pasts?" She blurts out.
Silence.
It seemed like time stilled, and the air was filled with tension. Yui risks a peek at the girl and finds her with her head down, her hair covering her eyes.
For a while, it stayed like that. Not one of them speaking a word, the sounds of a clock ticking could be heard, and even Makoto's soft snores filled the air.
Finally, after what felt a long time to Yui, Allurian lifts her head up and looks at the human girl blankly and expressionless.
"I knew them from my childhood."
Next chapter will reveal how she knew the Sakamaki's in her past. No, she's not their sister.
