*Knock Knock*

A light knocking sound were echoing though-out the corridor as Yui knocked on Reijis door. She felt a bit nervous but full of happiness.

"Yes?" A low mumble came out from the door and Yui felt her heart skip a beat.

"May I come in?"

"You may."

Yui opened the door and stepped inside Reijis study. It's always clean and tidy in his room and has a vague smell of old books as well as chemistry liquids.

Reiji was standing by his chemistry table and she believed he was experimenting with the new potion he had been talking about the previous night.

Yui walked up to him and peaked out from behind him, fascinated at his work.

"What is it that you want?"

Reiji asked without turning his eyes away from a small clear bottle containing a blue liquid, examining it closely.

"Why are you always so formal when talking to me? I am your bride after all. You can relax you know?" Yui smile up at him and his eyes let the potion go for a split second.

"This is how I have always talked and how I will continue to talk."

Yui pouts but Reiji quickly change the subject.

"I assume that you didn't come here to complain about my formal speech?"

"Well…" Yui awkwardly looked away and she felt her cheeks heat up. Her head turn towards Reiji as he looked down directly into her eyes and caught it with a piercing gaze, and Yui didn't dare look away.

"I was just thinking, you know… if you might… want to… spend Christmas, whit me?" The last words she uttered in a low mumbling whisper, now doubting he would think of it as a great idea.

"If I'm correct, Christmas is celebrated in the Christian belief. And as you might know, none of us in this house except you are religious. Why would we celebrate this event?" Yui was well aware and understood his point, but she couldn't help feeling as if something were squeezing her heart.

"But, Christmas is celebrated by almost everyone on the planet. You don't have to be religious to enjoy and celebrate it! I thought it would be really fun, just giving each other presents, eating delicious food and spending it together." Yui voice was low and disappointed, just why did he have to be so harsh all the time?

"This I nothing to discuss since we will never celebrate this event. Go back to your room and keep this celebration to yourself." Reiji doesn't even give Yui a second glance before he continues with his potions as if nothing ever happened.

Yui, now with tears in her eyes ran out of his room and slammed his door shut. She stumbled on her way back and kept weeping until she reached her own room.

"Stupid Reiji. He always has to hurt my feelings so bad…"

As she turned the door knob she felt a cold hand land on hers. She looked up and her Sherbet Pink eyes met a pair of green ones.

"What's up pancake? Someone other than ore-sama made you cry?" Ayatos mocking voice made Yuis insides over flow with anger. Every time Reiji had been mean to her or made her upset in any way, Ayato had been the first one to push her down into the mud by bullying and abusing her. Yui clenched her fist and glared at Ayato.

"That is none of your business! Stay out of it!"

Yui attempted to pull Ayatos hand of her own but he firmed his grip. He slammed his other hand into the door, trapping her between his arms.

"Let me go Ayato. I'm Reijis bride so you have no right to abuse or touch me. I'm really sick of you doing whatever you want." Yui felt as if her strong words had a small effect on him, but not an effect she had expected.

"Really? Since when have I started listening to a blonde breast-less girl, telling me what I can and cannot do?" Ayato smirked and leaned closer to her face. Yui turned her face the other way, but just as she had done so, she understood that was exactly what he had wanted. His hand gripped her face and held it in place so that she wouldn't turn her head. His other hand slipped around her waist and pulled her closer.

Yui felt her pulse beating faster and her throat dry up, making it nearly impossible to speak.

She could feel Ayatos hot breath on her neck and after each one it sent shivers down her spine. Ayato showed no sign of hesitation and not too long after, Yui feel his sharp fangs on her neck, pressing down and ready to puncture her skin at any given moment.

Yui whimpered as she imagined him draining her mercilessly, like he always did. But there was a huge difference between Ayato and Reiji. Yui would preferably have been in this situation with Reiji instead of this jerk.

Yui was pulled out of her thoughts as a sharp pain shot through her neck. Something was pressing its way into her neck forcefully and the pain was excruciating and almost unbearable.

Yui opened her mouth to squirm but Ayatos hand tightly gripped her face, covering it. All she could do was hope he would get bored before he had taken too much of her blood.

She squealed from under his hand as Ayato bit down harder. As if that reaction had made him very satisfied he pulled away and chuckled.

"That's the face I like. Full of fear and hate. Please, show me some more of that painful expression of yours…" Ayato pulled down Yuis shirt so that her shoulder was fully exposed and firmly planted his fangs into it.

Yui pressed her teeth together to stop a scream escape her lips.

"S-Stop…" She whimpers weakly as all her straight left her body. She can feel Ayato smirking but he shows no sign of stopping anytime soon.

Yuis vision is getting blurry and dark. Her legs wobble and Ayato has to hold her up since she cannot stand by herself any longer.

Just as she loses her consciousness, she feels someone pull in Yuis arm hard and in the progress making Ayato let go. That someone then picks her up bridal style before entering her room and gently laying her down in bed.

Yui then surrenders to the darkness and pass out.

Yuis eyes starts to move slightly and soon enough they carefully flutter open. She blinks sleepily a few times before she can make out anything around her.

She's in her room, and Reiji is sitting on her bedside looking at her with a relieved face expression. He then proceeds to place his hand on her leg.

"You're okay, he's not here right now." he gives her a stern but calming look and she sighs deeply.

"Thank you, but why did you come?"

"Why wouldn't I? Ayato was touching you without my permission."

"Yes but aren't I just a tool that you are using to overthrow your father? And you hurt me at times as well." Yui could hear her own heartbeat thump loudly. Her eyes got watery and she felt her chest tightening.

Reiji reached out his free hand to her face and cupped her cheek in his large cold hand. He then made her look into his eyes before he spoke in a calm and cool voice filled with sincerity.

"I can never see you as a tool to achieve power any longer, Yui."

"Then you do you always treat me so horr-"

"I have always been treated horribly myself, walking in the shadow of Shu. It's hard to change old habits. I'm sorry if my words have hurt you too badly." Before Yui could react Reiji leaned forward and planted his lips on hers, stealing her first kiss!

Yui, now flustered pushes him away and covers her mouth with a hand.

"Why- Why would you do that!? And without permission!" Her face was red as a tomato and she could feel her temperature rise sky high. Reiji smirked.

"I like that face, It's really nice. You should make that kind of face more."

"Wha-!?" Reiji grabbed Yui by the neck and pulled her forward and they sealed lips once more.

At first Yui struggled, but after a few seconds she gave in and they both kissed long and passionately. When Yui finally pulled away she was almost out of breath.

"Such a cute face…" Reiji continued to shower her with kisses.

"I want to make you even cuter… Yes, just like that. Make more of that face…"

Yui feels both overwhelmed and embarrassed but she still accepts all his kisses.

"Alright, Let's do it." Reiji murmurs and looks into Yuis eyes.

"Wha- Do what?" Her face now the color of a bright red tomato twists into a face full of fear and embarrassment.

"Celebrate Christmas eve together of course." He says with a face so smug that it makes Yui feel like an idiot.

"R-right! That's good then!"

"Did you think I was talking about something else?" Reiji smirks and runs his finger along Yuis face.

"Of course not!"

"Oh? Must have been my imagination then…" With a smug smile on his face, Reiji places a single kiss on Yuis lips before standing up from her bed.

"Then I'll see you later."

"Are you leaving?" Yui didn't like that her voice came out shaky and a bit lonely.

"If I do not stop now, I'll just end up going all the way. I suppose that's not something you're prepared for?"

"Eh? Oh, Yes. You're right." Yui blushes and turns her head down.

"Okay then. Have a good night."

"Good night."

Reiji leaves Yuis room quietly and as soon as the door closes she flops down on her bed and buries her face in her soft pillow. ("What just happened!?")

I hope you enjoyed this shorter chapter! The next and final one for now is comming out around christmas time, so stay tuned! ^^
