CHAPTER 18

Yui gasped at the small-statured girl she just bumped into and to her shock, she wasn't as alone as she thought.

"Angela-chan!" she called.

"Yui-neechan... Ittaiyo..." Angela sobbed.

"I'm sorry. But how did you even get here? I mean, were you kidnapped by the boys too?" Yui asked as she helped Angela to get back on her feet.

"Boys? I don't know. But I want Kuro-neechan" Angela said slowly, still sobbing.

"Me too. It just feel not right to be here without her. Who kidnapped you actually? Haven't you met the Mukami brothers?"

"... No... Who are they?" Angela asked back.

"... They're vampires like the Sakamaki. All of them are brothers too... I don't really understand all of this at all too but we're going out from here. Let's go" Yui replied. Angela nodded as Yui took her hand and continued to explore the hallway.

Makine tilted her head in confusion when seeing the empty room. "Angela-chan?" she called but no one answered.

"..." Makine stared the space in silence until realisation hit her. She placed her palms on her cheeks in horror.

"OH NO! SHE'S OUT OF THE ROOM!" she shrieked. The blonde vampire quickly ran outside the room to the hallway when Kou appeared in front of her face with a smile.

"Make-nyan~ Where have you been?" he hummed.

"A-ah, Kou-kun~ You scared me. Hehe..." Makine answered awkwardly.

"So~ Who's out of the room?" Kou bluntly asked, causing Makine's face bleached in an instant.

"Hm~" Kou hummed with a knowing smile.

Yui sighed and stopped in her tracks when her legs tire from exploring the mansion. In the first glance. It does seem like they could get out easily from the mansion but after almost a few hours of searching, both Yui and Angela started to feel like they're walking in circles. Like the mansion itself was preventing them from leaving.

"..." Yui stared at disbelief at the hallway. Did she just passed through this hallway earlier. Angela sighed. The dam of her eyes will be full in no time when thinking of Kuro madly searching for them while they were stuck there.

"Angela... Don't cry. I'm sure Oneechan will be just fine. Maybe a bit worried..." Yui soothed the girl as if knowing what her younger sworn sister was thinking. Yui was sure of it, since she once felt this way. Separated from her sisters once when they were little. Angela, Mayu and herself were kidnapped by some random men who initially aimed for Kuro's money. Angela and Mayu were crying so much. To the point they were almost hurted by the kidnappers and just before they thought they were gonna be killed, both Kuro and Yukine appeared to save them - just like heroes. Yui smiled to herself when remembering that time. However, she couldn't always depend on Kuro to save all of them. Ignoring the beads of her tears falling on her cheeks, she pulled Angela down the stairs and widened at the sight of the door.

'That seems like the main door' she monologued internally but she didn't get her hopes too high. The experience in Sakamaki mansion taught her much about trusting exit-like doors. The last time she let her hopes high when seeing the exit got herself a night being bullied by Ayato. Yui sighed at the thought of Ayato.

"Yui-neechan... That's the exit right?" Angela asked.

"I think so..." Yui half-heartedly answered. Angela looked at the door and she abruptly turned her head to look at her back.

"Oneechan... I think someone knows we're gonna leave" Angela said.

"Eh?" Yui looked around. Angela's right. The moment she noticed a glimpse of a tall boy passing through, she quickly pulled Angela and ran down the hallway to the east wing - ignoring the door that might be the exit. But little did she know next, something scared Angela and made her scurried away the other way around.

"W-wait Angela!" Yui called but Angela was already gone from her sight by the time she turned around.

"Where'd she go?" Yui said. Worried, the blonde tried to trace her lost sister. The blonde stopped for a while after a short run. Her eyes were instantly attracted to a door.

"..." She instinctively opened the door - thinking that Angela might be inside and behind the door, she found a hallway with a lighted room.

"Angela might be there" she said as she ran towards the light but her heart suddenly ached making her fell on the floor. She gasped when noticing a shadow hovering her. The blonde looked at the man in front of her.

"What a bad livestock you are. Trying to run away from your master" Ruki said sternly. It scares Yui of what she will get for her actions.

"R- ruki-kun..."

Yui whined when her small body was roughly thrown into the room. Her voice quickly diverted the attention of another girl in the room.

"Ruki?" Sera called as she frowned at the sight of Yui on the floor. Not to her surprise,she was staring at her weirdly for being there.

"A-amamiya-san?" Yui recalled back her name. Sera looked to Ruki in attempt to ignore the blonde. "I'll leave for the time being" she said as she quickly leave the room. Ruki stared at Yui.

"You'll be sleeping here for the night. And I do hope you reflect on your stupid actions tonight" Ruki said. Yui's look darkened. She slowly stood up on her feet and in curiosity, she looked around the room and her eyes were soon to fix at an old picture of a family of three in a frame. The photo looked old. Very old. who are the person in the picture she wondered. There's a small boy that resembles quite much like Ruki though. Too caught in her own mind, she didn't notice that she was staring too long at the picture when Ruki flipped it down.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to" Yui apologised. Ruki turned to look at the blonde making her stepped a few steps back after sensing his bloodlust in his eyes.

"Eve, huh?" he said as he walk towards Yui - making her taking more steps back in fear.

"Who'd knew that the special existence that we were after would be such a mediocre woman" the male vampire said. Yui gasped when her back touched the wall behind her. She shrunk as Ruki hovered over her and abruptly grabbed her waist before pulling her closer - leaning closer to her neck after sweeping off her hair off. Yui fearfully tried to resist but his strength was no match for her. Ruki sunk his fangs into her delicate skin and sucked out her blood.

"So this is Eve's blood?" Ruki simply commented.

"Urgh... N-no!" Yui futilely tried to resist.

"Stop!" she pushed the male away from her and stayed away from him. Yui was slightly trembling when Ruki continued sucking her blood back. The blonde was getting dizzy with all the blood loss and finally she knocked out soon after Ruki stopped sucking her blood.

"... We're going to make this plan work... For his sake"

Angela huffed as she stopped running. She was never been so scared in her life before but the tall shadow she saw earlier was kinda creepy for her. Maybe it wasn't so creepy. Maybe she was just being paranoid because Kuro wasn't around. "Oneechan..." Angela sobbed.

"Aw~ Isn't she just cute~ Look Make-nyan~ I found her" Kou's voice shocked Angela. She turned around and looked at him with a worried Makine behind him.

"Looks like a rabbit. Ufu~ And... I bet Subaru have taken a liking to you too. I mean he's always following you around at school and all" Kou continued. Angela gave a distrustful look at the blond and unconsciously puffed her cheeks.

"Ahaha! Look she giving that pouty face at me. Lemme pinch your cheeks" Kou said and nonchalantly pinched Angela's cheeks but his action immediately caused Angela to cry.

"HIK?!" both Makine and Kou shrieked at her sudden sobbing.

"Oneechan... Isk.. Isk..." Angela cried, tears quickly streamed down her cheeks.

"Oh no... Don't cry Angela-chan" Makine tried to persuade the white-haired girl but to no avail. She kept crying like a little girl who had just lost from her mother.

"Ah... Another pain in the back..." Kou commented with no amusement. His voice dropped monotone.

"Kou-kun..." Makine frowned, knowing that the two-faced boy was absolutely annoyed at the girl she kidnapped.

"Return her back to the Sakamaki. I don't wanna get involve with a crybaby" Kou said, scratching the back of his head.

"I won't tell Ruki anyway. But if she keeps crying like that..." he hung his words making Makine gasped at the presence of her eldest blood sister - Sera behind her, throwing an unamused look at her.

"Not you too" Sera said, crossing her arms on her chest.

"Eh?" Makine looked at Sera baffled.

"Yuuma just found Mayu in Yukine's room. Huh... And that Yukine actually think that she could hide her as easy" Sera sighed.

"Wait, so there are three of them that we kidnapped?" Makine asked.

"Well yes... But it couldn't be a good thing. Though, I'm very much weird out at how did you even brought her here without me or Shiki noticing. Ruki is going to be mad about this. Now-"

"She is really here" Yukine's voice interrupted Sera. Angela gasped when seeing Yukine.

"Yukine-neechan..." she called as the tomboy blonde made her way to look at her condition.

"Are you okay? Why are you crying?" she asked with worry.

"I want to see Kuro-neechan..." Angela said. Yukine sighed.

"And why are you even here? They are vampires aren't they?" Angela asked. Sera walked away from the hallway and headed to the lounge where Mayu is. With Yuuma guarding her. The petite girl looked incredibly terrified at him though.

"Yuki-nee?" she called - thinking that Yukine had returned from seeing Angela. But she was wrong. She peeked at Yuuma silently and quickly turned away when she looked at his predator's eyes. 'He's a lot more scary than Kanato-san!' she screamed internally.

"Mayu-chan!" Mayu perked up when hearing Angela's voice and jumped off the sofa to greet her when she spotted her coming into the lounge with Yukine. "Yuuma, you didn't do anything to her don'tcha?" Yukine asked.

"I didn't do shit at that tiny hamster" Yuuma replied, annoyed.

"You'd better be" Yukine said. She looked at her little sworn sister and smiled when seeing their enlightened faces - clearly showing them happy to see that they're not alone. But...

"Yukine. I want to talk in private to you" Sera called out for her. The tomboy girl practically knew what Sera is going to say to her but she complied anyway and followed her into the library on the same floor where her two other adopted sisters were already gathered.

"... They don't seemed to notice it yet, Yukine" Sera broke quick into the matter. Yukine sighed heavily.

"I wished that could last longer if you guys don't mind" she said.

"... Don't you think that'll have a bigger risk?" Shiki asked.

"I... I don't want them to know"

"Until when? It's just the matter of time until they realise your not a human any longer" Sera questioned.

"And with that raven named Azuki Anzaki... I could feel something is quite off with her. And with her repulsiveness to you like that that of what we saw..." Sera continued.

"She's the one that I don't wish to never know about me being a vampire" Yukine whispered but her voice was enough to be heard by her nearby sisters.

"Do whatever you wish... I'll just see to what I can negotiate with Ruki... Just remember Yukine, we're not here just for fun. We're ordered to aid the Mukami with Adam plan" Sera said to Yukine simply before leaving the room. Yukine remained silent and soon moved to leave the library when Shiki asked ; "What exactly happened to you and that Azuki actually?"

Yukine stopped at the door. Her eyes darkened. "To tell the truth, I don't really remember. But, that idiot was being too workaholic and left us alone. Angela, Yui, Nichola, Lacie, Mayu... And me. When I said I was adopted by father, she was mad and... She cut me off just like that. I just... Don't understand anything right now. I just want to keep them safe" Yukine explained briefly but the topic was too heavy for her that she felt her head ached from it. She left the room.

"She looks very upset" Makine commented.

"I don't actually think she really understand what's her relationship with Azuki-san..." Shiki said.

"Why are you even interested?" Makine asked Shiki.

"Saa... I just feel like knowing it" Shiki answered.

"Yukine! I... I stopped working now and I certainly have plenty to support ourselves! You know, maybe we can even build the castle you and Mayu want" the little raven said to the sitting tomboy at the hill but her words were only replied with silence.

"Yukine?" Kuro walked closer to Yukine.

"I'm leaving" Yukine simply said.

"Eh? W-what?" baffled, Kuro asked.

"Someone was asking to adopt me last week and I'm going" Yukine explained. Kuro's eyes widened at the statement that came out from Yukine's mouth. She stared into her blank amethyst eyes and tried to find any hints that implied she was simply lying but she found nothing but truth.

"Y-you're j-joking r-right? Just when I arrived back home..." the raven early-teen said. Yukine stood up and simply turned to look at Kuro, said nothing.

"Mayu? What about Mayu? You will at least bring her along? R-right?" Kuro asked. Yukine looked away.

"Father said he only want one daughter... He doesn't need one more. I don't have no choice" Yukine said.

"... What the hell do you mean by no choice?" Kuro questioned with shaky voice. She grasped her fingers into fist as she saw Yukine walked towards the older man waiting for her by the church's door. She was attempted to chase after the blonde and grabbed her but the older man whom she assumed Yukine's new father was halting her.

"Where are you going?" the purple-haired male asked Kuro innocently.

"You! You can't take her alone!" Kuro spat. The man simply smiled.

"Of course I can. She agreed to be adopted by me and the pastor said I could adopt her" he replied.

"No you can't! Yukine! Y-you said you don't have a choice - you could just say no to him! YUKINE!" Kuro shouted but the man was holding her back firmly that she couldn't chase after Yukine who was waiting at the door.

"Please don't worry about her. At least the source of her burden all this time was lifted. I mean, she wouldn't have to be bothered by you noisy girls any longer" the man said.

"Burden? Bothered? What the fuck do you mean?! She could never refer Mayu as burden! At least not her" Kuro stated angrily. The man smirked.

"Well, you girls are a burden to someone..." Kuro was almost trying to grab the man's collar when the clergymen held her and pulled her away from him as he walked towards Yukine and escorted her out.

"Naa, Yukine! Why are you doing this?! Why are you leaving? I thought you would stay if I come back! Are you breaking our promise?"

The flame-haired little girl looked away and hid behind the adult male. No words come out of her mouth to reply the little raven who was being held by the clergymen.

"You broke our promise! What about Mayu? What about the others?! You promise to take care of everyone with me when I returned!" the raven said again. The dam in her tears started to break when she cried. "YUKINE!" she yelled the name angrily with tears. But no matter how much she called for her, the girl never turned to see her and left with her new parent. Her visions were clouded by her tears.

"... Come back... You're my only best friend..."

"Why are you guys leaving me..."

Kuro woke up from her catnap. She was dreaming about Yukine again. The raven sighed tiredly. It has been a week and though she knew she needed more sleep, she couldn't bring herself to when her little sisters are out there without her. Worse, kidnapped. She have to continue searching for them.

The raven got up on her feet but she soon sat back on the couch when feeling a pain on her head as if someone just hit it with a hard object. Kuro lied back down on the couch. Her face clearly showed tiresome. The dark circle under her eyes have seemed to darken too. She felt so weak and tired, as well as dead worried about her three missing sisters. Her stomach was growling. When was the last time she ate?

Kuro could feel her body shifted by someone as he landed on the same couch. A par of strong arms wrapped around her body. Shuu.

"What are you doing?" Kuro asked grumpily. She's not in the mood to even care of his bullshit now.

"Your blood becoming tasteless" the blond commented bluntly, knowing the foul mood was still there. Kuro growled and pried off from Shuu's arms as she attempted to get back on her feet and leave the lounge but her legs were clearly wobbly. She failed to even stood up properly and involuntarily fell down onto the floor.

"..." Shuu stared at the raven as she tried to stand up again. And fell. Again. And again. And again. Until he got irritated at her unbelievable foolishness. Shuu got up from the couch and carried Kuro bridal style. Kuro wasn't fighting him back however, probably had literally finished her remaining energy trying to stand up earlier. Shuu sighed. She suffered from insomnia and have no energy left at all. The blond peeked at the girl and not to his surprise, she was nibbling on his sweater. Hungry too it seemed. Shuu teleported to his room, not even bothered if Kuro liked it or not and put her on his bed. Still, she wasn't asleep as quickly. Much to his chagrin, she was still battling her drowsiness.

"Why tried too hard to even search them?" Shuu sighed, scratching the back of his head.

"We're siblings... Isn't that just natural?" Kuro answered quietly.

"Sworn siblings... They're not even related to you" Shuu stated. He noticed Kuro was grasping the sheets. Most probably angry at his statement. But too weak to even reply in the right tone ; "Among your siblings, you should be the one to understand what I'm doing... The most"

Shuu frowned and as his lips parted to speak, he noticed Kuro was already asleep. The blond sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the girl. His hand moved to stroke her head without his conscious. His azure eyes bore a bit of sympathy to her when remembering her walking the streets, asking if anyone know where they are. Then, she would come back disappointed and cried in her sleep before she got insomnia since the past few days. Shuu sighed again before collapsing at the girl's side - falling into his usual slumber again.
