"Let me go! Let me go! Do you know who I am!? Do you know who my husband is?!" Cordelia was yelling and struggling with all her strength. Ruki was carrying her on his shoulders. She didn't know where he was taking her, she kept punching his back but he didn't seem to even notice that. Finally, after what seemed like eternity, he opened one door and tossed her inside. The room was pretty small. It only had one bed and a closet. She raised on her feet and looked directly in Ruki, her eyes full of anger. She raised her hand up and slapped Ruki very hard. But Ruki's face didn't even move. "How dare you do this to me!" Cordelia yelled.

Now it was Ruki's turn to slap. He slapped her equally hard as she did him. But she wasn't nearly strong as he was, so she fell on the ground once again. She has never been slapped in her entire life. No one has ever hurt her. (except Ayato last night) "You need to learn how to behave." Ruki said and closed the door, locking it.

"NO! Let me go! Do you hear me! You will regret this! I swear!" Cordelia was yelling and yelling but it seemed that Ruki already went away. She didn't know what to do now, she was kicking the door for a few minutes before giving up. She looked around the room, there was no window or any other way to get out. So she just sat on the bed, not that she had any other choice.

Mukamis' P.O.V.

Yuma, Azusa and Kou were sitting in their living room. Azusa was looking at one of his scars, Yuma was eating sugar cups and Kou was brushing his hair. In that moment, Ruki came in the room and sat on the couch beside Kou. "And...?" Kou asked.

"I locked her. There is no chance for us drink her blood if she doesn't behave well." Ruki answered.

"So you're starving her?" Yuma asked.

"Yes." Ruki responded simply. "Our plan has to work. For Him. We must become Adam."

"In that case, I wanna be first to drink her blood." Kou said, he still remembers taste of her blood from last night. He just had to have more.

"Wait until next week." Ruki said, although that sounded more like an order than a suggestion. But Kou knew that was an order.

ONE WEEK LATER...

Cordelia's P.O.V

Cordelia felt like she was dying. She hasn't eaten or drunk anything in a whole week. And she barely slept because she was used to sleep in bed made for the kings and this was some little common bed. And she didn't have much air or light. But her time her made her think. She thought about her husband - Karlheinz. Dreaming that he'll come and save her. But that dream never became reality. She thought about all Sakamaki brothers. Shu, Laito, Reiji, Subaru, Kanato and... Ayato. Ayato was the person she thought most about. She was thinking about why he did what he did. Was he really planning to kill her? If he did, why didn't he chase after her when she ran away from him? Cordelia was not stupid, she knew that Ayato was faster than her, that he could easily catch her, that he could hold her tighter and not allow her run, that he could smell her blood a mile away and easily find her in the garden. So whole story didn't make much sense. So... he was toying with her? He let her drag her wounded body in fear and agony. That meant it was just punishment...? She was never so scared in her entire life. So his punishment work, she guessed. Did he really hate her so much to that to her? She was angry when she realized all of that, but the smallest part of her demonic core was proud of him. He would be the best one to inherit his father. Day by day she felt more and more sorry for the way she treated him. But she didn't regret anything. If she hasn't been the mother she was, Ayato wouldn't be the person he is today. And Karlheinz needed a person Ayato is today. She thought about the others too. Her little song must be wondering where she is by now. And Laito is surely looking for her, right? She maybe didn't regret about Ayato, but she did regret about how bad she was to others. How she would always insult Shu, how she was confusing Reiji with her sex appeal just for fun, how she was bad to Subaru and mocking to him because his mother was insane, how she didn't give much attention to Kanato...

In that moment she heard the lock being unlocked and immediately got out of the bed. She didn't believe that they are finally letting her out! On the door was Kou and he was smiling as usually. "Hey, Masochistic Kitten." He greeted happily. Cordelia didn't say anything. She didn't know should she feel insulted by his nickname for her, but if she did, he surely wouldn't let her out. "Look, I brought you this." Kou said and showed her what he brought - a plate of random food. It looked delicious and like it just now made. She wanted to refuse, but she remembered how hungry she actually was. He handed her the plate as well as one fork and she sat back on the bed and started eating. Although she was dying of hunger, she was eating decently like always. Kou was just standing there and watching her.

When she was finished she put he plate aside as her eyes met Kou's. "What do you want?" She asked arrogantly without looking at him.

"Oh, Masochistic Kitten, don't you know that this is give-n-take world? You can't take something without giving something in return." That was truth and Cordelia knew it, but she didn't say anything. Kou approached to her and put his left hand of her shoulder, removing her hair, looking her directly in the eyes. Her so special demonic eyes. She flinched, she never let anyone to do as they please with her, she wanted to punch him as she did Ruki. But Cordelia was not stupid, she knew when she couldn't do anything and when struggling would only do bad to her. Kou's finger was making little circles on her skin. "You indeed have a beautiful skin." He complimented. Then, he fastly sank his fangs in her so tender flesh. Her eyes winded although she expected that, the feeling was just weird. I mean, of course her blood was sucked before, but there was a huge difference between her husband and the teen boy she just met. "So good..." He commented and continued drinking. Then he moved on her collarbone and then her neck. She stayed still, she was too tired.

After few more minutes, he let go of her. She barely fell on the floor what caused her to frown. "We should repeat this very soon. See you soon, Masochistic Kitten." Kou smiled and went away, leaving the door opened.
