For reviewing my story :)

Okay everyone, finally I have returned; despite my damn exams (they've been over for more than awhile now) and I'm ready to give you all Chapter 4. Sorry in advance for how short it is but the original had to get scrapped cause of a new idea I had.

I think it's about time we checked on our favourite bunch of bad adults am I right?

Chapter 4: A short meeting

They were all confused as to why Tougo made sure they had to be together. It was strange as usually their get-together's would involve immediate dinner after a quick exchange of information and a few attempts at flirtation from said 'charmer' to Chieko Aoi. This time had been different; not only had he made his children play together, he had also made the effort to gather them all within the same room.

All eyes were on the beautiful man who had made himself comfortable upon a throne like seat in furthest end of the room. His posterior was seated in the centre of his throne; leaning back, left leg over his right and hands nestled neatly together. Despite the warm smile on his face, they all knew that his actions today had been irregular, meaning something big was soon to occur.

"Would anyone like a cup of tea before we begin?"

The unexpected sound of his voice had managed to make most within the room flinch; the grin on his face, and amusement hidden behind golden eyes, had then made the adults relax unintentionally.

It was Chieko who had responded, her voice failing terribly to disguise her annoyance with the man.

"Tea?" she held back the urge to rudely roll her eyes, "please save us the unnecessary pleasantries and perhaps tell us why we have been brought here"

Tougo's eyes flashed dangerously, his orbs briefly turning a blood red before quickly regaining its previous enchanting gold. The man sighed, extending one of his hands towards Chieko, beckoning her towards his seated spot. The amber eyed female carefully walked towards the man and stopped once her shoes had reached only a few centimetres away from his throne.

Chieko could feel an abnormal amount of malicious intent fill the room as soon as the man before her gently took a lock of hair from the front of her head. The malicious intent only grew as Tougo lifted the lock towards his lips; simultaneously kissing and smelling it. Despite the intimacy of the act, the blue clad woman did not blush and instead eyed the man before her with hidden disgust.

Smelling the navy lock within his hand and looking into her hardened eyes, Tougo could not help but feel lust like no other build up within him. Chieko Aoi was the only female of his kind that had managed to have no romantic or lustful attraction towards him. He saw her as a challenge as years went by, eventually finding himself enamoured by her cold exterior.

He saw her as something that would be interesting to break apart and mould into something even greater than before.

"Dear, are you aware that your hair gives off a very delicious scent?" he spoke huskily; eyes glowing and a smirk rising onto his face.

The majority of the world would have blushed due to his tone of voice alone, however, the blue haired woman merely shrugged with her usual blank facial expression in place.

She sighed and adopted a tone that would only be used on an unintelligent child, "Are you aware that one of your wives happen to be exceedingly possessive and are just about ready to kill off my existence by glaring alone?"

Just like that the intent within the room had nearly dissipated, being replaced with minor annoyance instead. Frustrated cat-like green eyes directed their new found frustration onto their husband and the body of these eyes proceeded to fold their arms over each other.

The 'politician' grinned and released his hold on the inexpressive woman's hair; who then went back to her original spot next to Katsuro by the door. It was not a fear of Cordelia that made the man stop his pointless advances, but his own need to insure that his reckless wife did not cause problems for his challenge later on behind his back. That was the reason he had lusted for the purple haired vixen in the first place; her vile and unloving soul.

She became nothing but a nuisance to him the moment she become infatuated. Although, he couldn't help but find the way she was willing to sacrifice anything to gain his attention quite amusing; "like a faithful mutt attempting to please its uninterested master"

What could he say? He had married all three of his wives to benefit only himself in one way or another. Cordelia was wicked, charming and could satisfy his need for sex whilst also managing to manipulate any force that could become a threat- she saved him the precious time that he needed to create his 'project'. Beatrix was nearly everything that Cordelia wasn't; she was cold, calculating and able to surprise even him on odd occasions with the things she understood- the only similarity her and Cordelia had was the fact she had also surprised the man with her appeal behind closed doors, within the bedroom.

His final wife was a... special case. The woman appeared soft and delicate but actually had a temper that could scare off the most aggressive of their kind. That was until he had gotten a hold of her. He made sure to break apart her strong will and make her into a completely submissive woman who obeyed his every order.

"Now that I think about it" Tougo thought to himself, "the only real common factor with my wives is that they all posses beautiful structures able to pleasure me and once had very intriguing mindsets"

The man coughed aloud and sat himself up properly within his throne. The seriousness in his eyes and the newfound strictness in his tone nearly made the room crumble.

"Akune Aoi is to not be killed, drained or changed by any of our kind" his order bounced off the walls and onto shocked ears, "she is to be kept alive"

Only Katsuro dared to speak against him, his amber eyes turning darker with each word he managed to spit out.

"That thing has made many of my workers- your subjects might I remind you- lives a living hell! No matter how many times they punished IT, that little SHIT still managed to get them back tenfold!" the brown haired man sneered as memories of filed reports detailing broken goods or complaints from 'customers' being mailed to his home. The amount of money he had to spend fixing every aspect of the little girls messes always left a huge cut in their overall profit.

Richter couldn't hold back the scoff that escaped his lips, resulting in Katsuro turning and hissing in his direction.

"You think that it's funny losing about 645000 yen (around £50,000), a month because some snot nosed bitch decided they wouldn't act their own age and continue to be ignorant to the shit that goes down around them?!"

Richter merely allowed his lips to slightly tilt upwards in a condescending way, "honestly, I find your reaction to this little eight year old far more amusing"

Katsuro would've started a losing fight had it not been for the robotic tone of Beatrix gaining his attention.

"I wish to know why you find this young girl worthy of protection" the woman tilted her head slightly, "we all smelt the scent of Akune's blood and by now the fact that it is so similar to hers should give you more reason to want the child dead"

Everyone, except Beatrix and Tougo, seemed to freeze. Why had this factor not occurred to them sooner?

The little girl indeed had a smell far too similar to that persons.

The man in question merely smiled wistfully, "Ah, but it is because she smells like her that I am insuring her life"

Confused looks occupied everyone within the room.

"you see, this particular little rose bud managed to spark my interest years before she was even born" he chuckled humorlessly at a memory that hit his mind, "just follow my orders... and Chieko dear?"

The woman subtly raised an eyebrow.

"Continue to insure she stays away from code Eve; at least until the project is officially in action"

Chieko nodded.

"We will also reveal what we are to the girl at dinnertime"

This time everyone in the room nodded.

"Good" his serious aura dispersed and was replaced by his usual charming one, "you are all dismissed"

Each person within the room disappeared immediately which left the man alone to think.

"If only you were able to see her now" He thought, gaze directed upon a vase filled with white roses, "you'd be shocked by how much your daughter has managed to grow without you"

Little did he know, a black bat with silver eyes had been watching him from a small window with its wings wrapped securely around itself. It chose this exact moment to unfurl itself and quietly fly away.

"You'd be shocked by just how much she has forced herself to forget too"

~Chapter 4 end~

I'm not really happy with this chapter because I liked my last draft so much more but I feel like the last one revealed waaay too much stuff. We're only on chapter 4 so I don't want this story to lose all of it's mystery just yet.

Thank you all once again for reading! Have a nice day/night :D
