"This, so early in the morning? Disgraceful."

Reiji pushed up his glasses. You crossed your arms, sitting by Yui. The triplets came to her room that morning for blood when Reiji came in. Yui watched the brothers with her wide fearful eyes.

"Jeez, just when it was getting good," Ayato complained.

Kanato looked up. "I agree... what gives you the right?"

"You should've joined us, Reiji," Laito smirked. "Bitch-chan writhing in agony while we all swarm upon her," his voice rose a little. "Just thinking about it gets me excited."

Subaru glared at him. "Pervert."

You held back a laugh. Shu crossed his arms, leaning his head against the window. "Shut up. You're ruining my music."

"You never change," Reiji muttered.

"Why don't you be more honest?" Laito asked.

"Shut it!" Subaru growled.

"Please, be quiet," Kanato held Teddy. "Can't you see you're upsetting Teddy?"

Ayato wrapped an arm around Yui's shoulders. "Damn it all, I'm parched! I can't take it any longer."

Yui gasped slightly. You narrowed your eyes while Reiji looked at Ayato. "Ayato, this is not the place for such conduct. You should be ashamed."

Ayato glared at him. "Shut up and stop getting in my way!"

"Such a nuisance," Subaru growled.

Ayato glared at Subaru. "What was that?"

He looked down with a huff. Laito looked over at Ayato. "Well, we are cramped inside a car at the moment. Don't make a fuss, Ayato-kun."

"I'll do what I want!"

Kanato glared at Yui. "It's all your fault. And yours!"

Yui widened her eyes. "Me?"

You uncrossed your arms. "What the hell did I do?"

Reiji looked up suddenly. The car jerked to the side, tires screeching. It bounced into the air towards a tree. Yui screamed. Reiji jumped up. Ayato grabbed Yui. Subaru widened his eyes. Laito and Kanato looked out the window in shock. Shu opened an eye. You fell out of your seat.

The car crashed into the tree, exploding. You didn't know how but next thing you knew you were being held in someone's arms, watching the car fall out of the tree. Ayato held Yui by the waist. "What is this?" he set Yui down, standing up. "You're heavy, you know?"

Yui sat on her knees, looking up at him. "Thank you for saving me, Ayato-kun."

He glanced at her. "Whatever. I just didn't want to lose your blood."

You looked up to see who was holding you. "Thanks, Shu."

He set you down without a word. Yui stood up, watching the flames. "What happened? Was it an accident?"

"Don't be absurd," Reiji said. "The car was driven by a familiar."

"Looks like it was no accident," Shu mumbled, grabbing your arm gently.

"Then what was it?" Kanato hugged Teddy.

Laito looked up, grinning. "Maybe it was them."

Everyone looked up. There on the cliff were four figures. You couldn't see their faces but you could tell they were men. They all glared at them, except Laito, who was still grinning. Ayato took a step forward, raising his voice. "Who the hell are you?"

Yui looked up with scared eyes, holding her hands to her chest. You noticed one of the boys, the one with blue hair, moved his mouth. You looked back at Yui when she gasped. Smoke from the fire blew in front of the four. Ayato glared at them. "Hey!"

When the smoke cleared, they were gone. Yui broke the silence between them. "Who were they?"

Kanato had a dark look. "Their scent..."

Subaru growled. "It stinks."

Laito tipped his fedora. "It would seem they're like us."

"You mean..." Yui looked at Laito.

"However, they don't seem to be purebloods," Reiji added.

You narrowed your eyes. "There's more vampires?"

Shu closed his eyes. "This might get annoying."

"I see..." Ayato smirked. "So it's a declaration of war. Sounds like fun!"

You rolled your eyes. "Oh yeah, sounds like a lot of fun."

~Timeskip~

You and Yui walked around the garden in silence. Your mind couldn't stop thinking about what happened earlier. Who were they? What did Reiji mean by purebloods? Yui looked around, kneeling down in front of the rose bush. "I can't sleep at all."

"Neither can I," you sighed.

She picked up a rose petal. "What was that about? It's still on my mind..."

You opened your mouth when a voice spoke. "Eve."

Yui gasped, jumping up. You both looked around in shock, seeing no one. "What the hell..." you muttered, taking a few steps toward the direction of the stairs to the house. A footstep was heard behind you. Yui looked behind her while you looked to the side.

"Found you~" a voice spoke.

Yui gasped, running towards you. You spun around, putting an arm in front of Yui. She held her hands to her chest. "Wh-Who are you?!"

A boy, looking to be around 17, picked up the fallen rose petal, looking at you two with big eyes. "Good morning, M Neko-chans."

He winked. Yui backed up while you glared at him. "Why the hell are you here?"

He grinned. Yui looked to the side. A shorter boy stood there, bandages and scars covering his body. She turned to run the other way but bumped into another one. "Woah, there."

She looked up at the tall boy. He grinned down at her. "Don't run from us, you sow."

You turned to look at them. The short one was standing behind her. "You... You smell... just like me..." He smiled.

Yui widened her eyes. "No!"

You grabbed her arm and ran another direction. "Run!"

You both ran down the path, the three watching you and Yui run. You turned a corner, growling to yourself. "How big is this damn garden?!"

You both came closer and closer to the house, the fog clearing slightly. You both came to a halt, seeing a figure walking towards you. He walked forward, becoming clear. He was the blue haired one you saw earlier. "Eve. I've come for you."

"Eve?" you muttered.

Yui widened her eyes. He reached forward and grabbed her wrist, pulling her forward. You widned your eyes. "Hey!"

The three boys were there suddenly, surrounding Yui. The one who grabbed her lifted his hand to her face, knocking her out. You backed up, darting for the house. "Subaru! Shu! Help-!"

You gasped when you felt a hand grabbed your arm, pulling you back. "Where do you think you're going?"

"Hey! Let go!" you shouted. "Shu! Somebody! God dammit, let go!"

"Knock her out!" the blond one hissed, holding Yui.

You kicked and punched the arm holding you. He growled, grabbing your wrist. "Idiot."

The short one tilted his head as the blue haired one walked over. "Can she... hurt me...?"

The blue haired one grabbed your chin, lifting your head up. You glared at him as he lifted his hand. "Asshole." And everything went black.

I don't have anyone special.

Just shut up and let me suck your blood like the prey you are.

I'll instill it in you as often as it takes…

I won't let anyone else have you.

Never.

You belong to me, and I'll remind you as often as I have to.
