CHAPTER 12

(YUI'S P.O.V)

"You are mine," Ayato whispered into my ear, as he slipped into me. I moaned as my body suddenly felt hot. "Say it!," Ayato growled as he bit into my shoulder. "I'm yours!," I screamed in both pleasure and pain. As soon as school was over, and I came home Ayato pounced at me.

I didn't resist, nor did I give an excuse like I usually would. I could feel a trickle of my blood trickle down to my chest just after Ayato bit me in the shoulder. He then placed little bites on my neck to my breast. I could feel his fangs scrapping my breast. I arched my back as he licked my nipple.

As he moved to my right nipple, I felt him stroke me long and hard. We then climaxed not too long after. A few minutes after when I was certain Ayato had fallen asleep, I entered the bathroom closing the door quietly, as my back slided down against it. I covered my mouth, holding back a scream. Words couldn't compare what I felt right now.

Not because I had slept with Ayato, but the guilt that had eaten away at me from what I saw tonight.

I was the one that gotten Staz into this…

And I couldn't do anything about it, all because I lied to save my ass…

As I sat on the bathroom floor, knees pulled up to my chest, I remembered how Staz looked when Zero brought him down to the ground. He looked even worse up close. Zero didn't waste any time teleporting Staz to his home.

What was I going to do?.

How was I going to fix this?.

Things were about to change between Staz and me …

I didn't know Staz as well as Zero, what I did know was that Staz wasn't going to Ayato's attack lying down. And that's what I was afraid of.

A full fledge fucking war…

I got up now, and stood by the window. I could barely see out the window, as heavy rain beated down on the glass. I saw a flash of light and realized it was lightning. It was then I made a decision. I quickly made my way to the bathroom cabinet, and swung the doors open in urgency.

I picked up my first aid kit, and opened it up to reveal cash I had stashed away for an emergency. I would take some out for a taxi.

It was a big risk…

Things could go very badly if I got caught, but I had to try. I was going to Zeros in order to see Staz. I tiptoed through the bedroom where Ayato was still asleep in my bed. I quickly grabbed my jacket and shoes. As I headed downstairs, I realized no one was lurking in the halls.

I was beginning to feel relieved, as I grabbed my umbrella and headed for the main entrance. Just I was about to open the main entrance door a stern voice addressed me. "And where do you think you're going Lady Komori?." I nearly jumped out of my skin, but I was relieved.

It was the butler. "I need your help.,"I said pleading as I turned to him. "My friend is in grave danger, and I need you to let me leave for a few hours without anyone noticing." He stared back at me emotionlessly. Not even a flinch. "I need to do this in order to get out of this hell hole… please."

He let out a heavy sigh and turned his back on me. "I can only stall them for a few hours." He stated as he disappeared into the darkness.

"Thank you." I muttered as I slipped outside quietly.

(ZERO'S P.O.V)

THIS WAS BAD…

Staz was in a coma, because of that powerful spell that Ayato and Laito cast. It had to be them since they laughed, while mocking Yui who was on her knees crying the whole time.

THOSE BASTARDS…

I knew they were evil, but I didn't expect this.

YUI…

I didn't want to begin to think about how she felt about this. I was standing in Staz's room watching him.

There was a way out of this… but it held serious consequences.

Suddenly I heard the door open behind me. My eyes widened in surprise, as I continued to stare at Staz. I didn't have to look back since I recognized her scent; it was Yui. I slowly turned to see her soaked head to toe, since the rain stopped pouring.

"You're not supposed to be here. You know that." I stated flatly eyeing the knapsack on her back.

"Please don't send me away…" she trembled, as I could see the desperation in her eyes.

"This is my fault that he is…" she paused coming closer.

"Don't be silly you had nothing-" "I lied to Ayato, and used Staz as my scapegoat in order to get out of punishment." Yui interrupted. "I'm sorry Zero…" she said as she began to cry never taking her eyes off Staz. "I was desperate… I thought at the time no harm would come from this…"

We were staring at one another now. I could see regret and sadness all over her face. I broke the stare first, and opened a cupboard, and took out a spare towel. I then walked up to her, and gently rested the towel on her head. "I'm not angry Yui. Whether you used Staz or me as a scapegoat, Ayato and Laito had no right in attacking Staz. Get changed and meet me downstairs."

I didn't need to show her the guestroom, she had been here before.

(ZERO'S )

I sat in the living room in the dark. The lightning that flashed every few seconds, was the only source of light. Since Yui was here I might as well tell her what I had in mind…

I could bring Staz out of his coma, but the risk was great…

"Hey," Yui said gently bringing me out of my thoughts. She sat across from me now. "I hope you're not uncomfortable with the lights off. I just feel more comfortable in the darkness." "It's fine." "So what do we do now?, where do we go… from here."

Yui questioned a bit unsure of herself. "First things first Yui. You can't sleepover. I can't risk having the Sakamaki's coming here. So in the next hour and a half I'll call a taxi, and you'll go home." She nodded in understanding. "Ayato and Laito have put a powerful spell on Staz. It's called mind freeze."

"Mind freeze?," she echoed in surprise.

"Yes. It's a spell that can put vampires in a coma, and if humans get attacked by it they die." Yui remained quiet, as she simply stared into her lap. I knew what she was thinking; I could see it in her eyes. She felt powerless. I would too if I were human.

"Is there any way that we can undo the spell?." She inquired. I slowly raised my left hand upwards, as it engulfed in blue flames. "What the hell Zero!," Yui exclaimed in fright. Unaffected by her reaction, I simply picked up a small dusty leather book that was next to me.

My blue flames were giving a better lightning in order to see the book. I held the book out to her, as she slowly took it. Instead of taking interest in the book, she continued to stare at my blue flamed hand. "You know witchcraft?!." Yui asked in surprise. "Don't be so surprised Yui, we vampires are from the underworld after all." Her eyes rested on the book that was in her lap now.

"It's called the book of the demons. Inside lies the answer to waking Staz."

"Then why haven't done it yet?." Yui questioned a bit confused. "I know I'm the last person to ask, but I realize I've been living in a bubble until I met the Sakamaki's. I know there are things that can't be explained." So I told her what was required, and what had to be done.

"Oh my God…" Yui whispered when I done was talking. Her eyes widened in fear, as she simply stared at me. I watched as the book slid off her lap, and fell on the floor.

(YUI'S P.O.V)

I drawed the circle, and quickly stepped into it with the spell book. If Zero knew I was doing this, he would have my head. After explaining what was involved he told me he would find another way, since the spell came with a terrible price. I didn't care, because after learning what Zero told me what was required to activate the spell, I realized that I was Staz's only chance.

Literally…

In order for the spell to work, a human had to activate the spell only, and chant the strange language, and slit his/her wrists, and let the blood run on the pages. Zero further explained that when a human did this, the demon or vampire will appear before you. Many have tried this spell, but few have survived…

Holding the sharp razor blade in my hand now, Staz's face flashed in my mind.

I had to try…

Staz didn't deserve this, not after what he did for me.

If I died, I know I didn't die without trying.

Before I could talk myself out of it, I slit both of my wrist vertically, and chanted the words quickly, as my blood gushed out on the pages. There was no turning back now, since I had cut them vertically.

If this doesn't work I would die…

(ZERO'S P.O.V)

I had just poured myself some champagne, and stared at the grandfather clock. Yui had half an hour more, before I sent her home.

There has to be another way to get Staz out of this…

I didn't know where to start looking.

I was about to put the champagne glass to my mouth, when I smelt it…

IT WAS YUI'S BLOOD!.

My glass slipped out of my hands as it shattered as it hit the ground.

SHE COULDN'T…

SHE WOULDN'T…

I thought in fear heading for the stairs.

(YUI'S P.O.V)

It had been over a minute, and nothing had happened.

OH GOD I WAS GOING TO DIE…

The pages and my knees were now covered in blood, and I was certain Zero would smell it, and finish killing me for being stupid. I closed my eyes, and tried not to think about it.

SUDDENLY I FELT HIS PRESENCE…

Before I could react, I felt two hands clasp my wrists.

The next thing I knew I wasn't bleeding.

"Open your eyes Yui."

I didn't have to, I knew exactly who it was.

IT WAS KARL HEINZ…
