Through a vampire eyes

Chapter 6 predictable behavior.

Sometime it's whiffs of steam curling from a hot cup of tea after a stressful dinner. Other times it's a quiet place to rest your head for an hour or two during normal waking hours .The little bits of treasured moments that everyone finds day to day. Giving up a little each day as you strive forward. When faced with the choice do you chose what your family or your heart truly desires or in the end is it all just….. Predictable behavior.

Ever slowly it slips off until inch by inch it completely slips from my folded fingers. Suddenly my semiconscious head whips back catching it as it falls yet again off my propped elbow .With weighted eyelids I find my heavy head bobbing back in fourth atop of my exhausted body before it falls back into the red brocade fabric of my chair.

After a long drawn out battle with YoursTruly's insatiable thirst intertwining with the ever present and growing unnamed feeling in the pit of my stomach, I found my body physically and mentally exhausted. Shifting my weary body for the hundredth time in the uncomfortable chair I assigned myself to vigilantly watch over a recovering Pancake from a distance. Fueled by a new urgent desire to watch over Yours Truly's fragile Pancake while my normally prevalent feelings of tending to my own needs goes unfulfilled Which the very Idea of anyone's needs let along a blood bag's needs coming before my own sends my mind reeling ….but here I sit.

Flashback after Yui's attack

A long anguished breath realized from my lips as my exhausted body leans back against the wall that faced a closed wooden door .My anxious unmoving eyes burned at my closed bedroom door where my ginger headed triplet and an unconscious Pancake found themselves alone …laying on my bed .Even though I'm the one that requested my brother's assistance in saving her life the simple fact is I didn't like leaving her unintended with him and my stomach twisted with that fact ….I have no idea why I urged my brother to save the blood bag in the first place .It's not like I've ever cared before, there was a reason they were called sacrificial brides .We didn't go running around saving them if there strength depleted before their usefulness. They were treated like a tube of tooth paste we just squeezed what's left and moved on.

My tired green eyes caught sight of the tall wooden door slowly swinging open. Laito stepped through as he straightens his clothes and flips his hat back on his head. Ignoring the calls from my tensed muscles I quickly stand up to meet my brother as he quietly closes the door behind him.

"Well?" Mentally asking my brother with wide anxious eyes.

Laito pauses for a moment before studying my features with a strange look on his face. "Yeah, I think Little Bitch will pull through, she's just going to have to rest for a couple days to get her strength back. The venom has completely healed her wounds but she's very weak and it's just going to take time" My brother gives me a warning look as he folds his arms against his chest "With no one feeding on her ….Understand?" Laito shakes a finger in front of my face.

Gently pushing his finger out of my face. "Yeah, yeah, I got it, you don't have to worry about Yours Truly, and you know full well Yours Truly likes to see the blood bags terror filled eyes open wide, as I close in and take what's mine."

Laito shakes his chapeau covered head. "Yes, I know …..But the others don't have Yours Truly crazy idiosyncrasies…Little Bitch going to need someone to watch over her." Giving an expectant eye to me.

"IT's not a problem….Pancake belongs to Yours Truly so …..Yours Truly will watch over her as for Yours Truly "crazy idiosyncrasies" you and the others don't know what you're missing, the fear makes the heart pump faster which makes it so much more enticing and sweeter." Of course it's nowhere as sweet as Pancake's blood.

Laito crosses his arms against his chest. "I get that but every time? You miss a lot of blood that way."

With a confident smirk on my face I fold my arms against my chest. "I'm all about quality my dear brother, Yours Truly deserves nothing less."

"Well then, I will leave Little Bitch in your capable hands… after being repeatedly assaulted by Little Bitch's intoxicating temptations I have a "little mouse" I need to see ….I'll give her your regards." With a smirk on his lips my brother teases me by bowing with an arm out wide.

Rolling my eyes at my brother's little joke. "Yeah ….whatever, see ya and ….thanks."

"Yeah, yeah ….what are brothers for?" My brother's words echoed in the hall long after he popped out of the room.

Flash back ended

Slivers of emerald green, half-awake eyes find themselves directed to tangled tresses sprawl across my crisp pillowcase. Pancake unconsciously tosses her blond head as scared whimpers echo from her lips. Suffering from yet another bad dream, mostly likely from the Table-ware Otaku's recent attempt. The attempts of having her submit were only going to dramatically increase with every passing day .With Pancake's nightmare increasing in strength I reluctantly place my hands on the arms of my chair before pushing off to my feet. Stretching my lengthy stiff arms to reach far above my head while trudging my way to the blonde occupant in my bed .Without disturbing Pancake's sleeping form I carefully lie next to blonde causing her to instantly settle back into her prescribed deep healing sleep.

Tucking my arm under my head I roll to my side to see Pancake breathing even and relaxed breathes. I begin to speak in annoyed tone to my food supply. "You know you're a stubborn pain in my ass …. If you would get it through your damn thick skull to just submit to Yours Truly, like you know you should. You wouldn't have to deal with Yours Truly's brothers' attempts anymore. I know one way or another you will submit I promise you that …it just a matter of time. Thanks to your sweet blood every one of my brothers has entered into "that man's" little game ….but I think that's part of "that man's" plan after all. I'm not sure how it all fits together yet… but I will."

To avoid Pancake's unrelenting temptations attacking my body I try and limit prolonged contact. I begin to remove myself from her side but Pancake unconsciously reaches out and wraps her fingers around my mine before restlessly turning her head in my direction with a small smile placed on her sleepy face. Slightly astonished from her unconscious exchange a needful feeling emerges as I find myself wanting to allow her delicate fingers to remain touching mine. My tired body sinks into the softness of my mattress relaxing onto my side .My eyes remain unmoved from Pancake's unconscious smile before my sleep deprived eyes slowly drift closed.

After three Freaking days of waiting ….

Pancakes arms begin to shift and stretch over her head.

"It's about freaking time." Sitting with my legs draped across the uncomfortable red chair with a book in my lap.

"Ayato-san?" Astonished she sits up while grabbing the side of her head like she's fighting a headache

Folding my arms across my chest as my eyes study Pancake's face "Who else...were you hoping I was Reji?" I ask with a malicious smile on my face to test the girl's reaction.

I visibly see her hands shake to my questions as she nervously turns her away. "Ah, no!"

"Oh, so maybe you'll listen to Yours Truly next time I send you to your room?" Speaking in a snide tone.

Pancakes brings her legs to her chest before wrapping her arms around them. Dropping her head before nodding as her shoulders begin to shake with her silent sobs.

"Hey enough of that, you've kept me waiting for three days." Pancake just shakes with tears reliving Reji's attack.

"Fine, whatever….I guess this time Reji was enough punishment for you…..but listen to Yours Truly next time …..You belong to me." Speaking with a threating tone.

Pancake didn't say anything but sniffled.

With annoyed voice I begin to stand up. "Your no fun this way, You better be ready by tomorrow or else…If I were you I would stay here for at least the day, no one but myself is allowed to enter my private room." …And with that I popped out of my room allowing my words and Reji's actions to sink into her thick skull. Besides, it crossed one my so called "crazy idiosyncrasies" Attacking a crying girl was only allowed when I caused it, otherwise she might as well be asleep.

Time skip a little over a week after Reji's attempt.

My eyes burn at the newly restored dining room as I impatiently sit through yet another mandatory monthly dinner. All you can hear is a mixture of rhythmic ticking from the brass pendulum that swings freely in the base of the old grandfather clock and an occasional fork clinking against a porcelain plate.

"Yours Truly, don't you think it's rather nice to know a little paint here and some wallpaper there can easily allow our Table-ware Otaku brother to break his own house rule? Why there's not a smudge of Pancakes blood anywhere."

That is until my ginger headed triplet decides to test my Table-ware Otaku brother's patients as he saunters over to Pancake with a devious smirk on his lips. "It doesn't look like you've eaten very much Little Bitch you need to eat a well-balanced diet or you'll become anemic I'd be more than happy to feed you, if you like?"

"Laito, I know what you doing …it's not necessary."

"Laito, it's impolite to stand at the table when the rest of us are eating. Doing so is poor table manners you'll refrain further transgressions immediately." Pancake suddenly jumps in her seat from the mere sound of Reji's voice.

"Really, but it's been over a week shouldn't you have taught him a lesson by now?"

Straightening himself up Laito reaches up with a hand and tips his hat to our rule breaking brother. "Yes, sir" He swiftly leans down particularly close to Pancake's ear as his lips brush against her ear while he seductively whispers. "This little conversions isn't over Little Bitch."

"Laito, no amount of taunting is going to trick Yours Truly to reveal anything to you ….So knock it off."

Shu gracefully rises from his seat and throws his napkin at his plate before tucking his hands in his pockets and speaks with an annoyed tone. "I can't be bothered with this."

"And our Table-ware Otaku brother will lose it in 3….2…1."Laito teases.

The light glares off of Reji's glasses as he speaks with distain "I've had it with that deadbeat, as a child he was served everything on a silver platter. This is what happens when you over indulge children at such a young age."

After Reji's little outburst my eyes catch my crazy ass purple headed triplet and his damn one eyed bear. "Teddy, what would you like to eat next, let's have a banana snow ball, shall we?" Kaito wraps all of his fingers around the ornate fork before lifting it over his head and repeatedly stabs the small yellow cookies violently with an unsettling smile radiating from his face.

"Don't even think about it….. Last time, I had to spend the entire day looking for that damn thing."

"What? I'm just trying to help him break the childish habit …..Nothing more."

"Knock it off that bear is the only pin in his pinwheel ….you think he's creepy now wait until he loses it completely." Laito mentally warns me.

Reji wipes the corners of his lips before gracefully setting his napkin to the side." That will be all for today."

I swiftly toss my napkin to the side before lifting to my feet and walking away. "Laito, you must be losing are touch this month's dinner took for freaking ever to get excused from."

Pushing in his chair before leaving the freshly painted dining room. "Yeah, Yeah it might have went faster if Yours Truly would have joined in the fun."

"Oh, my fun is just beginning…..you'll see, soon enough."

I paused for moment when I heard my brother speak. "Wait just a moment, your table manners are deplorable one of these days I'll have to discipline you thoroughly have I made myself clear?"

While my anal retentive brother is intimating Pancake I quickly pop into his room and find a small red glass bottle among hundreds of shelved bottles of various sizes and colors .Twisting the top off before adding a few drops of the clear odorless liquid in my brother's favored teapot. Being careful not to touch the liquid I add a few drops on a perfectly folded handkerchief. With a wicked grim emerging on my lips I begin to wipe some of his tea spoons against the fabric and place them back in their designated area waiting to be used. I carefully add the lid back on the short red bottle before returning it to its exact location and popping out of his room …Now all I need do is wait.

A few minutes later

With my tongue being coated with an increased flow of venom the sensation caused me to turn my attention to my own emerging thirst. My throat beginning to burn as I pop into Pancakes room. With my arms resting on the back of Pancake's desk chair. My emerald green predator eyes slowly follow Pancake's movements.

She walks to a dresser as she wraps her fingers around the two brass holds before tugging it open. With two hands Pancake reaches into the whitewashed dresser drawer to lightly pull a sheer short sleeved nightgown up into view before folding it over her arm .She slides the drawer closed and moves to the smaller top drawer before placing her fingers on the handle .At the moment my attention is peaked and consumed by the possible contents of the smaller drawer. I watch Pancake slip her fingers into the drawer and pull a tiny piece of silky, baby blue fabric delicately laced between her fingers. Nodding once to herself she closes the door and gently places her undergarment on her nightgown.

Pancake turns her back at the dresser with her face down adjusting the clothes in her arms .A mischievous smile grows on my lips with realization that any moment Pancake would be caught by surprise with Yours Truly's presence in 3…2….1.

Pancake lifts her head in my direction as she jumps being startled with her hand reaching for her heart as a frightened little scream rips from her lips. "Ayato-san, what are doing here?" Pancakes askes with irritation before her cheeks burned pink as she throws her clothes behind her back. "Why are you in my room?"

With a knowing smirk on my face I lift myself from my seat and I gradually stroll over to circle around Pancake in predatory like fashion. "I go where I want, whenever I want and right now I'm here to suck your blood." Running my green eyes up and down her body before pouncing on the frightened girl to grab on to her and pull her in my arms .I swiftly lift a hand to brush away her shimmering golden hair from her flawless neck as I prepare my sharp teeth to pierce through her lustrous pearly white skin.

"But I was about to go and take a bath." As Pancake fruitlessly pushes her firsts harshly against my chest. "I feel a little bit faint at the moment." Pancake tries to step away from my body but my steel like arms effortlessly snake around her frail human form like a giant anaconda. Squeezing her close to my needful body.

With a free hand I tilt her face up to allow my cold emerald eyes to peer down in Pancake's terror filled ones .With my eyes locked on Pancakes pink orbs I notice a small tingle attack the top of my shine as she intently watches me with wide eyes until I slowly move out of her view .My blade like teeth run across her rice paper like skin before effortlessly breaking through several layers of her skin. To reach the sweet crimson liquid that slowly runs down my throat .My eyes roll back in my head as warm sweet liquid wraps around my tongue.

The small tingle at the top of my neck begins to grow as Pancake begins to push herself into my chest as a little pleasured whimper rolls off of her glossy pink lips. Having a hard time to concentrate on only the blood I begin to speak with a little irritation. "Stand still and be quiet!"

Her little pleasured sound gave me a wicked idea as I find her pulse point and begin to suck her heated skin not with my teeth but with my lips .Causing a purplish mark to appear against here creamy white skin .The more my lips attacked the area the louder Pancake's little noises echoed throughout her room .I actually found myself experimenting on different parts of her heated skin to which caused the loudest pleasurable sounds leaving her lips. "Hey, no fair stop making it sound like it feels good for you." Alerting Pancake to her little arousing noises that I'm initiating as I smirk against her skin.

Pulling down her favorite pink off-the-shoulder sweater to expose more of her chest before my lips found an especially enticing spot to press my lips against her heated skin before lifting my head to reveal a wicked smile. "I've left my mark on you, so wear your pain proudly."

"No." With anger flashing in her eyes and a deep pink brushed across her cheeks she tries to push my face away from hers.

Capturing her hands effortlessly I slowly trace one long finger along the neck of her sweater before pulling it down low enough to cause a reaction flaring in her eyes but still leaving my future gifts wrapped for a later date. As my firm lips find the very base of her mounded soft flesh. Pulling a bit of her sweet skin between my lips to slowly increase suction leaving a purple mark. My sensitive ears hear a soft moan escaping from her lips.

"I'll leave my mark down here too. "The tingling feeling at the top of my spine is developing into a hot excited flame as it burns down my spine. I lean Pancake back to expose her marked skin. My miniature torments causing her blood to run even sweeter as my actions push her heart rate to accelerate deep in her chest. The thought of her sweet blood just under her creamy white wrapping causes me to increase my breathing against her chest. "Yes, even more and more we'll pick up from here after your bath. I can't have you fainting on me before the really good part." I straighten her to her feet and back away. "You better make it quick though… if you make Yours Truly wait, you know what's going to happen." As my green eyes gleam with a warning.

Pancakes eyes are wide with blushed cheeks as she nods her head and grabs her things to fumble through the door.

Figuring my trap must have sprung by now I pop in the shadows to see my brother sitting perfectly still with a shattered tea cup next to his feet. I begin to laugh evilly as I only allow my glowing green eyes to escape out of the shadows as I speak in a deadly calm tone. "You're so predictable …my dear brother."

"What's wrong dear brother no lectures on gentlemanly behavior and proper table manners…Your wasting your chance, I'm all ears at the moment…No? What's a matter, cat got your tongue?" I circle the room in the shadows looking for a certain item to make my point.

"Why dear brother is there something wrong ….maybe it's something you drank?" I circle the room in the shadows like a shark toying with the fish before striking. "Perhaps it's something you've touched? Some of your books are rather dusty."

My Fingers find the item I've been searching for before I flick my wrist with aloud "Crack" can be heard from the shadows. "What's your problem anyway? Is it the fact that you only like to play with defenseless blood bags that belong to Yours Truly?" Another "Crack" comes from the shadows and rips through my brother's pants. "Crack " "Crack" "Crack "Three more cracks ripfrom the darkness. "As fun as I might find this we both know I could play for days and the only damage I would cause is to your clothes"

"You had to see this coming after all I warned you to keep your Damn hands off of Yours Truly's Pancake….but no, you wouldn't listen." Taking a step out of the darkness before walking over and leaning in to see my brother's petrified face.

"Yeah, I'm afraid to admit but I was having a real tough time figuring just how to make you pay for your crimes against Yours Truly….short of dropping you in the middle the ocean or one of the poles Like "that man" is so willing to do…..There really isn't anything that can harm us with a lasting effect." The cherry wood legs begin to scrape across the wooden floor as I push the back of my brother's dark brocaded chair.

"Although ….there are a few interesting subjects that I was forced to learn by that…. "That woman." As I place my brother in front of some thick golden fabric hanging on the wall. "For instance you may not know this about my extensive studies …but I'm fairly educated at concoctions and….of course poisons such as yourselves."

My wicked smile grows as my fingers wrap around a braided cord behind the golden cloth. "Also you really shouldn't be surprised knowing what a bitch "that woman" could be….. But one of the first things that deprived woman taught me. As I prepared for taking over the big chair was how easy it was to get rid of one's competition."

Pulling the cord as the fabric parts to reveal a large crystal clear window. "Now, I wonder whatever it was that you came in connect with …..Will wear off by sunrise?" I take the whip and place it in his paralyzed hand to show the others just what he's being punished for. "You know I'm pretty sure whatever it was …..I think your voice should at least be back by …..Mid-morning….Hmmm I wonder if anyone will bother to come to your aid once you start screaming?" Leaning my face to stare directly in my brother's red eyes to make my point clear.

"How much life will the sunlight drain from your body before your driven mad...….. This is your last warning, be thankful its a little sun damage and I didn't chose something more… permanent. Pancake belongs to Yours Truly so keep your fucken hands off of her…..Or next time it could be anything in this room at any time and believe me next time ….you won't recover I'll be sure of that ." Reaching a hand to lightly slap his cheek a couple of times before looking down at my watch. "Ah, damn you've made me late I'm sure Pancake is already done with her bath."

I begin to stroll out of the room before peeking back in. "Oh, if you're lucky, I won't tell ether of my triplets your current condition …..I know for a fact that Laito seems to be a little pissed at you for your flagrant disregard for your own rules…and even I wouldn't want to be caught defenseless by my purple headed triplet ….I 'm sure he can come up with some interesting punishments…..but who knows they might just wander in here in the next few days before you regain muscle movement….Don't forget to think long and hard on Your Truly's words ….I believe you have the time for it ."

After that I popped onto Pancake's pink frilled canopy bed waiting for Your Truly's blood bag to enter through the pristine white paneled door. My slippery venom starts to trickle down the inside of my dry throat. As my anticipation grows for Pancake's possible arrival in her sheer white nighty with the delicate baby blue panties I watched her pull from her drawer, earlier . An aching feeling begins to grow in the pit of my stomach as my mind races of thoughts of taking at least one of Pancakes firsts tonight.

I can hear her leaving the bathroom and heading for her bedroom. My eyes are glued to the turning doorknob before it swings open .My face falls as Pancake isn't in her little nightgown but her previous outfit …..And she's soaking wet. "Hey Pancake, you're late. I've worked up quite a thirst come over here and let me suck you blood."

"No, Ayato-san not right now." Pancake shakes her head as she dives back into her drawers.

My anger starts to bubble as I purposely leap from her frilly bed to march over to her side "You have no right to refuse, I'll feed when I like…now, be good girl and give in." As I roughly force her close to my body. With my venom burning my throat I waste little time before tossing her hair to the side ready to sink my fangs into Pancakes smooth skin.

My eye went wide as I see two healing bite marks that are placed in the center of my little playful marks. Taking a deep breath to rely on my sense of smell to discover the owner of the bight marks. "What the hell, is this Reji… no Shu that little…. "My eyes flashed with anger as I wrap my arms around Pancake and pop down to the estate's game room.

Dragging Pancake by the arm I head for one of Shu's normal napping locations. With heated emerald green eyes glaring down at my brother's still form I speak in a threating manner. "Shu, are you trying to pick a fight with me or something?"

With his arm tucked behind his head he hisses at me without bothering to open an eye before yawning. "Keep your voice down."

I 'm so mad at my eldest brother I speak in determined manner as I begin to spit venom. "I challenge you to game of darts."

Again not even peeking an eye open he speaks in a tired manner. "It's too much trouble."

My ginger headed triplet pops out of the middle of nowhere as he speaks with a mischievous tone. "Sounds like fun to me and the prize of the game is Little Bitch of course….. I can't wait."

I shot my brother a warning look as I mentally hissed at him." Cut it out this doesn't involve you …what the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Please I would much rather take Little Bitch from the vampire sloth rather than my own triplet ….Is your opinion that low of me… little brother?"

"Oh but handing over Pancake to Shu is so much ….better?"

"Well, it's not my ideal but it will work in a pinch."

Pancake looks over to my brother with a confused look on her face, "Prize?" As he toss an arm around the girl holding her close "Now, Shhh prizes are meant to stay put."

Pancake eyes begin to flash with anger as she understands what my ginger headed triplet roped her into. She foolishly attempts to push my brother away.

"Fine, if it's the only way to get you to shut the hell up …..I'm in." As Shu lazily rises to his feet before grabbing three darts…

A few darts later ….

"Ah one more dart and if he makes this shot you will belong to Shu." Hugging Pancakes shoulders.

My brother lets the last dart fly and it hits yet another 60. My teeth tightly clench as my stomach begins to flip and twist. "Damn it."

"Well, here you go Shu congratulations you've won one Little Bitch." As my brother smirks before pushing her roughly into the blonde sloth's back as he walks away.

Shu catches Pancake by the shoulders and holds her there before glancing over to me with a weird look etched in his face .He leans over to whisper in Pancake's ear. "Humans are just a food source to me …..Nothing more if I were you I would remember that before coming anywhere near me." As Shu sinks his fangs roughly into Pancake's neck I watched as my stomach began to twist with the sight .Shu lifts his head with closed eyes and the crimson liquid trickling and either sides of his lips as he truly savors Pancakes sweet blood. "Ayato, you possessive freak you better take better care of what supposedly belongs to you …..She seems like a lot of trouble."

I watch as Shu shoves Pancake back into my direction before walking off. With wide astonished eyes I watch as my eldest brother retreats back into his favorite napping spot as I catch Pancake and speak with an annoyed tone. "Yeah, she's thick skulled and won't listen to a damn thing Yours Truly has to say." Shu waves his arm without looking back to knowledge my words. I watch my brother leave the game room as a thought runs through my head. Has Shu figured out that Pancake has something to do with "that man's" plans to win the big chair ?...and if so did I just see "that man's" preferred heir not only step aside but hand a key part to "That man's" plan to Yours Truly?

If I'm right both Shu and Reji are out of the running that only leaves my two triplet brothers and the hot head…It's time. Peering down at Pancakes confused pink eyes I raise an eyebrow over my vibrant green eye. "So Pancake, you like to play darts …let me show you how Yours Truly likes to play with darts…. To be continued in the next chapter.
