CHAPTER 17

MUKAMI MANSION

Yui's eyes fluttered open after regaining her consciousness. Her brows quickly furrowed at the different aura from her surrounding. The confused blonde sat up on the couch and visually examined the foreign lounge. What had happened? Where is she?

"Where am... I?" she pondered.

"You're a quite a slumbering Livestock" a voice shocked her. Yui stood up in shock at the sight of Ruki at the chair opposing her.

"... L-livestock? ... Wait, who are you? W-where am I? M-my sisters-"

"Tch! Shut the hell up!" another voice snapped at Yui. She turned around and she was instantly met with Yuuma as he hovered over her. Yui could instantly feel an uneasy feeling from the pit of her stomach when seeing strangers.

"Who are you people? Where am I?" she asked. Yuuma clicked his tongue in response to her questions and slammed his fist to the window - not enough to shatter it but surely enough to scare the poor confused blonde into silence.

"Maa~ Don't be too mad at her Yuuma-kun... You can't blame for reacting like that after being taken away by a group of strangers now... Nee, M-nekochan?" a rather cheery voice replied Yuuma. It came from the stairs and when yui turned her head to see the one who said it, she found Kou.

"Nee... Do you... Like pain?" Yui squeaked when feeling gentle-yet-as-cold-as-corpse coldness touch on her hand. Her eyes widened at the sight of a boy with maroon beret, instinctively pulled away her hand from him - sat back on the couch.

"Azusa... That's not a good to ask a girl, you know. You should start off with a proper self-introduction now" Kou promptly scolded Azusa - gaining a slow "Ah, really? ... Alright then..."

"With that said, I'll introduce myself first" Kou said, somehow shocking Yui when he appeared beside her despite his place at the stairs earlier.

"I'm Kou Mukami. Nice to meet you, M-nekochan" Kou introduced himself.

"Yuuma Mukami." Yuuma simply said his name.

"M-Mukami?" Yui said in confusion.

"Un, we're all brothers. And the one over there is..." Kou pointed at Azusa.

"... Azusa..."

"I'm Ruki" Ruki said when Yui looked at him.

"And this is where we live. You'll be living here too" Kou continued.

"Eh? Here?" Yui said in disbelief as she stood up.

"I-I won't. I'm going back. My sisters must be worried of me. Also-" Yui was about to leave when she heard Ruki slamming shut his book.

"Going back?" he asked, later raising up from his seat onto his feet and faced Yui with a stern look - hints of unamused and scorn fill his gaze.

"Back to the Sakamaki manor is that it? A place where your existence are merely a toy to those vampires?" he said. Yui threw and offended look but it was instantly replaced with remorse when realisation hits her. But still-

"Oneechan... I still have my sisters there waiting for me" she replied.

"Hmph. I guess you're much comfortable with those herd of degraded people. Befitting for a livestock" Ruki retorted.

"That's not ..." Yui silenced for a while. "Isn't the same here? I mean all of you are vampires... Like it would make any difference..." her words slowly losing its volume. Ruki glared at the blonde.

"Don't you put us at the same place as them. We have some self-control at the very least" he said. Yui quickly gave the man in front of her a distrustful look.

"I still don't believe you... Even if you said that" she answered. Kou sighed in annoyance.

"Ah... How irritating. We could give a damn less whether you believe us or not" his voice that was cheerful earlier turned into a harsh one.

"Correct. Your opinion doesn't matter to any of us here. We just need your blood, the Eve's blood for the plan. That is his wish after all" said Ruki.

"E-Eve's blood... What do you mean... It's... Me?" Yui mumbled in confusion as she grasped her fabric on her chest when she felt a searing pain at her heart. "I-I can't understand..."

"... You're... no doubt... Eve..." Azusa said.

"It's not! I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not Eve-" Yui retorted.

"Ah, shut up already. I've enough with this. Just fucking comply already!" Yuuma snapped. Yui gasped when she felt a rough tug on her chin when Ruki face her to him.

"Since you're the first one to arrive at the mansion before the others, you must be her. With that Eve's blood running through your veins... You'll be able to find the Adam."

"From now on, you're living with us and how much you struggle, as long you're the Eve, you shall obey our rules. Clear your mind in here for now" Ruki said before closing the door shut and locking it - leaving Yui alone in her assigned bedroom. Yui stared at the door in silence, unsure of what to do by herself. She couldn't believe of what had happened to her. What did she do to deserve this? However... Yui moved towards the window and leaned her head to the windowsill.

"Back to the Sakamaki manor? Where your whole existence was a mere toy to them?" Ruki's words rang in her mind.

"Oneechan... Nichola. Lacie. Angela. Mayu. I wonder if they're searching for me? I wonder..."

'... I wonder if Ayato noticed that I'm missing?' she monologued to herself.

SAKAMAKI MANSION ;

The Sakamakis jerked when Kuro slammed her palms on the coffee table. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY MISSING?!" she hollered - her loud voice broke the long silence in the lounge.

"Succubus-chan... Calm down. We'll find them nee?" Laito tried to cool the raven down but he was soon responded with a couch flipping over after being kicked by Kuro.

"Nothing good will happen if you keep on rampaging like this. Seriously now, how unsightly... You can't afford to just point finger at us for their absence. After all, we're not their caretaker... If we're to say, you're also partly to be blame" Reiji finally crack an opinion after a few while observing the eldest of the sacrificial bride as he sat down at the other chair at one side.

"You carelessly left them and went elsewhere" Reiji continued after a short pause - much to Kuro's chagrin. The raven clicked her tongue and left the lounge without a word.

"Yui and Mayu... Even Angela. For someone to kidnap them all at once..." Nichola suddenly shivered at her own words.

"... I could only imagine her wrath when she finds the culprit."

"Tch! You're exaggerating! What can she do anyway" Ayato scoffed, in response to Nichola's words.

"It sounds exaggerating to you because you never see her on that side. Truthfully, I don't want to see it again... The last time was more than enough" Nichola replied.

"What did she even do then, Nerd-chan?" Laito asked, finally his curiousity perk up at the sight of Nichola's shivering body. Nichola only shook her head and remained silent.

Kuro stopped at the hallway shortly after she stormed off the lounge. She gritted her teeth in annoyance but her eyes showed glint of regret.

'... Reiji's right. It is partially my fault... As well. What was I thinking? Was I really hoping they would care after us anyway...' Kuro abruptly let out a dark chuckle as her fist cracked the wall with her grip. Her eyes rayed danger that replaced the certain regret.

"Guess... I can't always place my trust to them anymore..." she said darkly as she left the hallway - retreating back to her room in silence.

"Yuki-nee's chicken porridge~!" Mayu squealed in excitement at the sight of the mouth-watering porridge in front of her. She have to admit, even though she was kidnapped, she can't resist the yummy-looking food in front of her.

"Eat up and fill that empty stomach of yours." Yukine said proudly as Mayu enjoyed her food.

"Yum~ I know you kidnap me Yuki-neechan but I think I can forgive you if I get to enjoy this kind of food everyday" Mayu said, earning a laugh from Yukine.

"I thought Azuki cooked better food than mine" Yukine said.

"Well, she does but I still love your porridge! I mean it's been so long since I ate some..." Mayu replied. Yukine's eyebrows furrowed when noticing Mayu's smile disappeared for a while.

"But I'm glad to be with you of course! I could eat a lot!" mayu said happily. Yukine laughed awkwardly. She smiled but her eyes were dark with sadness.

"Yeah, sure. Just remember to keep your voice down a bit too. And have more" Yukine said.

"Un!"

Makine placed a tray of food on the table where Angela is sitting. "Here you go, Angela-chan~ My sister cooked it. It's delicious!" she said with her ever usal cheerful voice but Angela just gave a sad look when looking at the food.

"Angela-chan?" Makine called for her.

"I missed Oneechan..." she said almost tearing up, making Makine panic.

"Oh no! Nononono! Don't cry! Here, eat! I'll cheer you up!" Makine took the bowl of porridge for the crying girl, asking her to eat and as soon after she took a spoonful of the porridge, her cry turned even worse.

"It tastes like Kuro-neechan's cooking!" she sobbed. Makine panicked even more.

"Oh no... Don't cry..." Makine said, hugging Angela.

"What should I do with her...?" she cried along.

Yui let out a tired sigh. She was still not sure of what she should do but she must at least try to escape from the unknown mansion and return back to her sisters. The blonde stood up from the sofa and slowly made her way to the door. She knew that Ruki locked it but maybe...

She twisted the doorknob and to her surprise it wasn't locked. This is her chance! Yui cracked the door opened and looked around the hallway - ensuring no one was there to stop her from leaving the mansion. The blonde took a deep breath before dashing down the stairs and running past the small lounge from before as her eyes wildly searching for the exit. That is until;

"Ouch!" Yui slammed her face straight into a small stature who just get out of the room in the same hasty manner as the blonde. Yui hesitantly raised her head to see the one she knocked over with and gasped.
