Fire.

You were surrounded by fire. You screamed in fear, standing in the middle so you weren't too close to the flames. You looked around. Outside the flames were the Sakamaki's. Shu stared in fear at the flames while Subaru tried to get close to you. Ayato was yelling and Laito was trying to figure out what to do. Reiji stared at the flames, lost in thought and unable to move. Suddenly someone grabbed your shoulders. You looked up in fear, seeing the four vampires surrounding you. You screamed for help.

"(Y/n)?"

Your eyes flew open and you sat up quickly. You grabbed your head, groaning slightly from the pounding.

"(Y/n)?"

You looked up. Sitting on the couch was Yui, her pink eyes filled with fear and confusion. "Yui?"

"Where are we?" she asked, looking out the giant window behind the couch. You looked down at the floor. You were laying on the floor when you woke up. Your eyes glanced at the stairs on both sides. Yui also looked around, her eyes trailing to the top floor.

"You're finally awake."

Both you and Yui gasped, looking in the direction of the voice. The blue haired boy was sitting in a chair not too far away, reading a book. "You sleep so soundly, for livestock."

"L-Livestock?" Yui murmured. She stood up. "Wh-Who are you?"

"And," you stayed on the ground, "where are we?"

He didn't look up from his book. Yui stepped forward. "Why did you bring us-"

A hand slammed against the window behind them. Yui spun around while you jumped back, still on the ground. The tall guy with a ponytail glared at Yui. "Shut up! Quit your squealing, you sow!"

Yui fell silent. You glared at him.

"Now, now. After being brought here so suddenly, of course they're gonna be confused."

You both looked up at the stairs to see the blond haired boy you both first saw. He smiled down. "Right, M Neko-chans?"

"Hey..." the short one kneeled down beside you, taking Yui's hand. "Do you like... pain?"

Yui gasped, falling back onto the couch. "Hey, now, Azusa-kun. That's inappropriate to ask a person you just met. You have to introduce yourself first," the blond haired one said. "So let's start over."

He appeared behind Yui, smiling. "I'm Kou Mukami. Nice to meet you, M Neko-chan."

"I'm Yuma Mukami," the tall one said.

"Mukami?" Yui mumbled.

"We're all brothers. And this is..." Kou looked at the short one.

"Azusa," he said slowly.

Yui looked at the last one to see him glaring at them. "I'm Ruki."

"This is the mansion we all live in," Kou grinned. "You're going to live here with us, M Neko-chan."

"What?" Yui gasped.

"Live here?" you exclaimed.

Yui stood up, grabbing your arm. "We can't do that! We're going back!"

You stood up with her, turning to run after her when Ruki closed his book. "Going back?" he stood up, facing them. "You want to go back to the Sakamaki mansion?"

Both you and Yui stopped, looking up at him. He continued. "You were treated as a plaything by the vampires at that mansion, were you not?"

Yui went to say something but looked down instead. You narrowed your eyes at him but stayed silent. He stared at them. "So by being kept as their pet, even your mind degraded to the level of livestock?"

Yui looked up. "Th-That's not..." she looked around. "B-But you're all vampires too, aren't you?"

"So it'd be the same if we stayed here," you finished, holding Yui's arm.

"I don't appreciate you comparing us to them," Ruki growled. "Unlike them, we at least have some sense."

Yui looked down with a frown. "There's no way I can believe that."

"Man, how annoying!" Kou groaned, frowning. "We really don't care if you're convinced or not!"

"He's right," Ruki said. "Our plan requires your... Eve's... blood."

"Eve's blood?" you muttered.

Yui widened her eyes. "Eve is... me? How can that be?"

"You are... definitely... Eve," Azusa said.

"N-No!" Yui gasped. "I'm not Eve!"

"Quit whining over everything!" Yuma shouted. "All you need to do is shut up and obey us!"

You faced Yuma. "She doesn't have to obey any of you!"

Ruki grabbed Yui by the chin. "As the one who possesses the blood of Eve, you should be able to find him without error. You'll find Adam."

"Adam?" Yui murmured.

You tugged Yui back, shoving her behind you. "What kind of f*cked up fantasy are you guys in? She's not Eve!"

Ruki glared at you. "For livestock, you have quite the mouth. We need to fix that."

"What do you expect?" you raised an eyebrow. "The sister of two of the Sakamaki's being a soft scared girl? Hell no."

"Sister?" Kou tilted his head. "You're a Sakamaki?"

Yui gripped your arm, watching Ruki in fear. You glanced at her. "Not really... I'm only related to two of them..."

Yuma smirked. "Gives us more reason not to return you."

"Huh?" you looked at him.

Yui was ripped out of your arms by Ruki. Kou grabbed your shoulders, lowering his head by your ear. "Don't worry, you'll be safe here~"

"Hey! Let me go!" you struggled. "Yui!"

Yuma grabbed your chin, making you look up. "You're annoying. Just shut up and don't do anything you'll regret."

If you want to run, then run.

Only punishment awaits you if you do.

Your blood is the beginning of everything…

Eve, if you are Eve, you will surely guide us.

I'll wash off all traces of filth on you, and engrave myself there.

~Ruki Mukami
