A/N: Hey! Just a little FYI the brothers are still teenagers, as they will age a lot more slowly than humans (despite it being way before the anime's time-line) and their basic family/home life is the same (meaning Beatrix and Cordelia have already been killed and etc.). Shuu will be 17, Reiji 16, Laito/Kanato/Ayato 15, and Subaru 14.

10:50 p.m.
{10 Years before Yui's arrival}
The air was cold as small drops of water fell to the dirty ground echoing throughout the large dark cell softly. A slender silhouette could be made out, leaning heavily against the spot covered wall and letting out ragged breaths- hands raping against it in a desperate manner.
Just as the figure was starting to settle down, the loud creaking sound of a rust infested door being opened snapped them back into a jittery panic.
Standing back up, the shadow covered form tensed, its slim muscles visibly coiling as if to sprint at the first opportunity.
A raspy yet harmonious voice spoke out in an uneasy tone, "W-what do you want? They just brought me back! Leave me!"
As the unidentified person continued forward without pause, the one who spoke grew weary.
"I'm serious! Go aw-!?"
As the moving shape stopped, they leaned closer letting a thin sliver of light that had let itself in through the small crack on the wall, wash over their face just enough for one to make its features out.
Those familiar deep golden orbs glared down at the speaker, daring them to continue their rant.
As the figure stayed silent, the golden eyes filled with mocking glee.
"Thank you, number 666! Now that that irritating sound is out of the way; I've come to inform you that as of now you are finally free!"
The figure's eyes widened, free?!
Only to narrow in immediate suspicion, "No fucking way I'll fall for that! What sick joke are you playing?"
In retaliation a swift hard kick was delivered towards the figures face causing them to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"You should know by now that that is no way of speaking to me, child."
The figure merely grunted and looked away with a huff, "Now, now! Look at me when I'm speaking to you, vermin!"
Crouching down and harshly gripping the figures now unhinged jaw, the golden orbs glare melted into that of dark amusement.
"As I was saying-", the grip tightened, "as of now, you are to go free, my little 666!"
The figures eyes remained unresponsive.
"Tch! You don't understand anything do you?! I swear you just get slower every time we meet!"
"…"
"Argh! If I must explain… do you remember the blood experiment from a few years ago? Yes! I see the light seep into those lowly eyes!" Chuckling they continued.
"It's finally time to test it out! Isn't great?! I was starting to believe master Karl had forgotten~"
Getting back up in a smooth shift, the owner of the golden eyes spread out their arms and hugged their own form in a passionate way, cheeks tinting pink.
"Finally this experiment will see itself through! Oh little pathetic pest! Though I will miss my favored test subject, this is a chance to see if my most potent procedure yet has taken full affect!"
Giggling like a blushing teenager they begun to walk away, stopping at the door, "The servants will come in a few hours to collect your shameful self in order to perform a full cleansing! You better behave like the good little number you are, alright? If not I'll personally make sure to punish you before your departure."
The figure flinched in response, resulting in a continued giggle from the other.
As they left, the figure slid down slowly against the rough cement walls, hugging their knees fiercely to their chest, should they feel happy to finally leave this hell hole? Or terrified at the unknown motive behind this?
Sighing, they relocated their jaw in one prompt motion and decided that the best thing to do now would be sleep; suspicions would have to wait till later.
Two Days Later
06:25 p.m.
A fancy white limousine parked in front of a large haunted looking mansion as light snow flakes fell lazily towards the ground.
An older gentleman with a blank expression got out of the driver's seat and walked over to the other side, opening the door and bowing slightly.
"We have arrived Phenex-sama."
Long slender legs clad in thin white leggings stepped out of the vehicle, black dress shoes landing with a 'clink', standing at full height the figure smiled. Delicate hands smoothed down their knee-length grey-blue dress, long sleeves falling over them along the way.
"Please, don't. It's Vivika, yes?"
The man merely glanced at her, ignoring her comment he closed the door and went to the back to take out her two black leather suitcases.
Once she'd grabbed her belongings the man got back in the car and drove away without another word.
The female sighed, and decided it didn't matter.
Turning to face the large residence, her eyes clouded with curiosity.
'This must be it then.'
Swiftly unlocking the gate, she walked to the large twin doors of the entrance; her dainty footsteps hardily making sound.
With a tilt to her head she lifted her fist and gave three hard knocks.
