Okay, got chapter 9 done!! This'll probably be a good one! I think it is but that's really all one you the readers! Enjoy!!
Chapter 9
Sayori lays in bed until her eyes suddenly snap open. She instantly sits up as she takes a huge gasp of oxygen. She pants heavily and looks around at her familiar surroundings.
"What the?"
Is this her room? How'd she get here? She gasps softly when she remembers the last time she was awake. She and the others were taken and thrown into a storage room by Ruki and they stayed in there for almost a week.
They didn't have any blood for that long and because of that Yui made the choice of giving some of her blood to them. And when she and Rena drank from her, something happened. They went unconscious.
That's the last thing she remembers happening. How she got back in her room is all drawing a blank for her. Did she and the others escape or something? What happened last night?
"Welcome back Little Bitch."
Sayori's nerves and body freezes and tenses as soon as she heard his voice. The hatred and unwanted longing for the man that betrayed her started to fill her heart as she slowly tilts her face up to face Laito Sakamaki.
"I bet you had a rough night. You poor thing, you must've been very thirsty."
She says nothing but the hatred in her eyes glare menacingly at the lusting vampire before her. But he doesn't seem to mind that at all since he's always found her ferocity erotic and he does love a good challenge.
"Now I'm thirsty too. I missed you baby."
She shrinks away when he leans in towards her. She nearly growled with disgust. She was having Déjà Vu. The first time she woke up in her room, Laito was there already sexually harassing her.
"Imagining all of the things they were doing to your body..." a pink blush flushed his cheeks and she really wanted to kill him then. "I gotta say really turns me on."
"Shut the fuck up you fucking asshole!!" She bursts out in rage as she swings her fist at him.
He catches her fist and chuckles sweetly at her rage, the very thing that drew him to this woman in the first place.
"Oh painful memories?" He teases as he removes the covers from her legs.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!!!" She snarls.
But he doesn't listen, he already has his arms wrapped around her.
"Come on fight me harder." He whispers yearningly in her ear. "Poor Little Bitch."
She growls enraged as he runs his hand down her bare legs and sinks his fangs in her inner thigh.
She flinches at the bite and tries so hard to fight the irresistible pleasure that coursed through her body. She always hated him for biting her there since it was her weak spot and he knows that it's what gets her going.
As Laito was drinking her blood, he noticed something different about it. Her blood was thicker and sweeter than it was before.
"What's this?" He asks as he pulls away. "You've changed Little Bitch, something about you tastes different."
Changed? What exactly has changed about her? She flinches again when he bites her thigh again. She growls and squeezes her eyes shut.
"Oh your anger is beautiful. I cant stand it. Show me more of it baby. I'll make you feel good again just like the old days. I'll make you forget everything."
She couldn't take this anymore. As soon as he leans in to bite her again, grabs ahold of his coat and uses whatever strength she has and flings him over to the wall away from her.
She didn't expect that to work that much since she wasn't as strong as he was. But he actually hit the wall, making a crater around his body from the hard impact. He look just as surprised as she did when he realized what she had done.
She looks down at her hands when she starts to wonder how the hell she did that. Did she really just do that?
"Seems like I picked the perfect time to interrupt."
They both look over and see Reiji near the doorway.
"Oh. Hey Reiji." Laito greets as he dusts himself off from the wall dust. "Did you want to join us?" He teases. "Or would you prefer to have your fun with Rena-san?"
He frowns for a slight second at the mention of that woman's name. Ever since he felt her presence back in the mansion with those mongrels, he's been debating whether he should kill her or not.
But being the gentleman he claims to be, he's decided not to since he does need information from each of the brides.
"There is something I would like to discuss with her and the rest." He bluntly replies as he glances at Sayori. "Get yourself dressed and come downstairs." He orders before teleporting away.
She sits there a while until she glances at Laito who's still here. She glares at him and hops off the bed, slamming the bathroom door as she stormed in there to get herself dressed.

Selena flutters her eyes open as she begins to regain consciousness. She groans softly and slowly sits up, holding her head.
"Huh?" She looks at her arm when she noticed a tube attached to her arm. The other end was attached to a blood bag that was pumping blood into her.
Now confused she looks around at the familiar bedroom she was in. This was her old room before... is she back in the Sakamaki mansion?!
She removes the tube from her arm and places her feet on the floor and she attempts to get out of bed.
"Girls?" She calls out softly. "Is anyone here?"
She stands up on her feet but regrets it when her stomach starts to ache. The baby was acting up again. She falls back on the bed, clutching onto her stomach. Her body trembles as the pain came and went.
"What a demanding child you bear."
She gasps and looks up at Reiji, who's staring down at her disapprovingly.
"Reiji-san?" She asks before groaning again.
"You consumed at least four bags of blood during your stay here. This child is being spoiled rotten like that deadbeat was. There is without a doubt that's it's his offspring."
"Where?... How did I get-"
"I should think that would be obvious to figure out. You were brought back here by those vermins." He adjusts his glasses in a more comfortable position. "Frankly I'm quite surprised that they brought you all back here. I figured that you all would be dead."
She stares at him and he sighs. "Anyways I had planned on you feeling well enough to at least walk but seeing how the child is having a hard impact on you, I suppose you shall stay in bed."
"But... what?..."
"Must you ask such repetitive questions? Just do what your told and keep quiet."
She says nothing as she reluctantly lays back in her bed and allows Reiji to insert the tube back in her arm.
"Honestly. Even he is not fit to care for a woman who is bearing his child. How pathetic." He scolds to himself about the eldest brother.
"I shall return to do a daily check-up on you and the child. As for now, you must rest."
He turns and walks away and Selena stares after him until he's out of sight.
~(XXX)~
Rena snaps her eyes open and she instantly sits up in her bed. Memories of last night spill into her head and only one person made her worried.
"Yui-chan." She whispers worriedly as she attempts to remove herself from bed.
"I can assure you that Ms. Komori is perfectly fine." A familiar cold voice speaks to her from the doorway.
The huntress stares at him and returns the cold gaze he's been giving her.
"Reiji-san. Care to explain why I'm back in this hellhole with you?" She questions.
"I am not going to repeat myself of your return to each and every one of you. Until you all have gathered yourselves downstairs, I will inform you of everything. Now get yourself dressed and come downstairs." He orders before vanishing.
Rena sits there for while. Who is he to order her around like that? The nerve of that man.
~(XXX)~
"Hmmm. Huh?"
Aina sits up from her bed and holds her head. She feels dizzy and weak a little bit all in all she feels better than before. She starts noticing that she's now in her old room back in the Sakamaki mansion and that's when she really starts to get alarmed.
What is she doing back here?! Wasn't she just in the Mukami mansion with the others?! What happened?!
"Disgusting. You even smell like them."
She gasps and whips her head at the end of her bed where Kanato is standing there, holding his bear and glaring at her.
"Kanato-kun!" She exclaims and sadness hits her heart as well as her eyes. They way he was looking at her right now is too much for her to handle.
"What am I...?" She whispers and he looks away from her. Did he bring her back here?
"If you think that I saved you from them then you're wrong. Did you honestly think that I would even consider taking you back?" He peeves. "Well I'm not. And neither is Teddy."
She stares at him until she slowly looks away.
"If you're not the one who brought me back here... then... who did?" She asks mainly to herself.
This doesn't make any sense. She remembers drinking from Yui and nothing else beyond that point.
"Where's Yui-chan Kanato-kun?" She asks softly avoiding his gaze. She can't even look at him otherwise she'll burst into tears.
"Why do you wanna know about her?" He asks and she hugs herself.
"Because she... she saved my life back there. I'm worried about her. I wanna know if she's alive or not." She whimpers and covers her eyes when she hears nothing from him. "Kanato-kun please!! I have to know!! I need to know if she's alive now!!! And if she is I need to see her!! Please!!!"
She gasps when she's pinned down on her bed with him on top of her, straddling her waist. His hands are around her neck preparing to strangle her to death.
"I see. When you hurt other people you shed tears for them." She chokes when he squeezes her throat. "But when you hurt me, you just stand there and laugh!!!" He yells.
She coughs and claws at his hands. "Kanato-kun!!" She chokes.
"Now it's my turn to hurt you!! I will never forgive you!!!" He squeezes harder and her reactions kick in.
"STOP IT!!!" She screams before kicking him off to the wall away from her bed.
She gasps when she sees him crack the wall from the hard impact and hit the ground. She has the urge to see if he's okay but at the same time she's terrified because he just now tried to kill her.
She touches her aching throat and trembles as he staggers back on his feet. How did she even do that? She was never that strong before. What... has she become?
Before anything else could happen, she starts to cry as she sprints out of the room. Kanato stares after shocked and enraged at what she had done. How did she do that? She was strong like a full blooded vampire.
Aina runs down the halls until she ran into Rena, who was on her own way downstairs. Once Rena had seen the tears in her sister's eyes, she went in full protective mode.
"Aina! What's wrong?! Are you alright?! What happened?!" She grabs her shoulder and Aina bawls on her shoulder.
"I wanna go home Rena!!" She cries making Rena stiffen. "I wanna be with mom and dad again!! I wanna leave this place!!!"
Rena stays silent with shock until her eyes soften with her own sadness.
"Oh Aina." She whispers before hugging her. "Come on. Let's go downstairs."
She leads her down the halls and holds her close all the way there.

Luna had just woken up from her deep slumber and when she realized where she was and what had last happened, she immediately gets out of bed.
"I have to find Yui-chan!!!"
She runs to her doors and swings it open. She gasps when she sees Sayori walking past her room. The redhead stops and gaps too when she sees Luna.
"Sayori-san!!" She calls.
"Luna-chan!!"
They both hug each other tightly and Sayori pulls her away by her shoulders.
"Thank God you're okay! I was really worried! Have you seen the others?"
Luna shakes her head. "No I haven't. Where were you going just now? Do you have any idea why we're back here?"
Sayori sighs and tucks her hands in her pants pockets.
"Hell no. And I really don't care because I'm not going to be staying here anyways. I was on my way downstairs because of Four-Eyes. He said that he wanted to talk to us about something."
Luna stares at her and looks away. "I wonder what it could be about."
"Does it really matter anymore?" Sayori murmurs. "C'mon, I'll walk you there since you need to be there too."
"Okay." She nods and the two women walk away.
~(XXX)~
Every one of the brides expect Selena had arrived at the den room, even Yui was there and boy were they glad to see her alive.
"YUI-CHAN!!!" They yell before attacking her with hugs.
"Thank goodness you're alright!!" Luna cries.
"I thought you were dead for sure!!" Aina adds.
"Don't you ever do something stupid like that ever again!!" Sayori yells.
"I thought we lost you for good Yui-chan. I'm happy to see you're alive." Rena says with relief.
Yui hugs them back. "I thought I would never see you all again. I was worried that they killed you." She whimpers.
"If you're all finished, then I would suggest that we get down to business."
Everyone looks behind them and see Reiji sitting in a chair in his usual interrogating pose. They look at each other and turn to face him.
"Alright Reiji-san. You wanted us here and now we are. Now what is it that you want?" Rena asks crossing her arms.
"I want information. Tell me everything you all know about them."
"We don't know very much. They were too secretive about their lives." Rena replies.
"Certainly you've noticed something at all at the time? Knowing you, you're pretty observant about everyone and everything so I doubt you don't know anything. Perhaps I have given you too much credit."
She sighs and Yui gasps when she remembers something.
"Oh here's something! I-I've never really understood what it meant but they kept calling me Eve."
"Did they?" He grins and chuckles softly. "How interesting. Tell me did you happen to hear any one of them mention the name Adam?"
They all stare at him with confusion. How did he know that?
"Yes. They all mentioned that name before. They claimed that they were to become Adam." Rena says.
"I see." He grins more but with amusement.
"So then Reiji-san, do you understand what they were talking about?" Luna asks." And Rena looks away.
"It wouldn't be such a surprise if he did." She murmurs.
"My goodness. What could those poor ex humans possibly be planning?" He asks.
"Wait a second! You knew that they used to be human?!" Sayori asks.
"Of course I did. I could smell their impurity from a mile away. Just like I did with yours when you came back into this house. I was quite shocked at the state you all were in. What on earth were they doing to you all over there?" He asks.
Rena opens her eyes slowly while everyone remains silent. His gaze lands on the huntress.
"Did you all smile when they fed on you? Over and over and over again?"
This makes some of them cringe or glare at him for assuming such a thing. Rena however shuts her eyes closed and clenches her fists. He's really starting to piss her off.
Yui speaks up when she remembers another thing. "Oh there's something else! They said that they needed my blood for some sort of plan. They said it was for his sake."
This makes Reiji's eyes widen a bit and Rena catches that. She gets suspicious of his little reaction. If he knows about the plan then he must know of this man the brothers spoke of. The man they call Father.
"Is that so?" He asks before speaking out loud. "Did you miss that? Or were you listening Shu?"
Everyone's attention is on the eldest who is laying down on the couch.
"Has father made any attempt to contact you?" He asks.
Shu opens his eyes. "No not really. But they are definitely planning something."
"Yes well so it would seem." Reiji says.
"Um Reiji-san if you know why they called me Eve, then I'd be grateful if you could explain it." Yui says.
"Yeah it must be a pretty big deal since they did kidnap us to keep their location a secret." Sayori adds crossing her arms.
"You're such a liar."
They all look over and Rena holds Aina close as she shivers with fear.
"Kanato-kun." Yui acknowledges and he stares at Aina, who avoids his enraged gaze.
"Going off without a word and coming back like nothing happened. How could you ever treat us like that? Even if you cry and say you're sorry I'm never ever gonna forgive you."
Luna gasps. "Did you have fun over there with the trash?" A familiar voice growls and she looks over and sees Subaru.
"Subaru-kun! I swear I didn't-"
She jumps and tears fill her eyes when he slams his fist against the wall, breaking it.
"You didn't what?! Damn it I... I bet you loved it!!" He growls and someone chuckles
"Subaru-kun how romantic!" Laito teases when he's laying on a couch. "Don't worry Snowflake. When he punches the wall it means he really cares still."
"Bullshit!" The albino vampire hisses making Luna look away.
"Alright can you just shut up about them?" Ayato says as he appears on a chair. "I don't wanna hear their names again. And you all just shut your mouths." He glances at the brides.
"Don't tell us what to do asshole!" Sayori hisses back.
"Calm down Sayori." Rena says and she hmphs.
"Well since almost everyone is in full attendance..."
"We're all here. Now what is it that you want?" Ayato asks irritatedly.
"These gatherings are rare. We get such little family time. Now what is this about?" Laito asks.
"I have no patience for this. Why did you ever call us down for this Reiji?" Kanato asks irritated as well.
"Well if it wasn't for your scintillating conversation..."
"Get to the point." Subaru growls impatiently.
"The full moon is approaching, that is my point." He says.
"And why should we be concerned if the moon is full or not?" Kanato asks.
"The next one is a lunar eclipse." Laito mentions.
"It's a lot more than just an eclipse." Shu says and the brides look at each other.
"Is something going to happen?" Yui asks and they all look out at the moon through the window.
"It's a rare celestial event which will both occur in the demon world and human realm. At the time our powers will be substantially diminished."
Ayato rolls his eyes. "So what? It's not gonna be that big of a deal."
"You're wrong." Shu replies as he sits up. "We should all take this very seriously."
They all stare at him. No one could take this seriously if they wanted to, even Shu since he doesn't bother with much. But if he believes that they should take this eclipse seriously then it is very serious that they do.
Reiji looks at the moon. "It may be nothing. But we should be prepared."
The brides look at each other with concern and Rena speaks up.
"Alright it's clear that we gave you the information you needed. Now it's your turn. How did we end up back here? I doubt that any of you did this for us."
Reiji sits back and pushes up his glasses. "As I told Ms. Nai, I figured that you would be able to figure that out by now. It was them who brought you back to this residence."
They stiffen with shock and surprise.
"What?! They're the ones who brought us back here?!" Sayori exclaims.
Luna looks down with shock written on her face. "But that doesn't make any sense! I thought for sure that they would-"
"What, did you expect them to keep you?! Is that what you wanted them to do?!" Subaru yells before punching the wall again.
"It would make sense." Kanato glares. "They no longer wanted them so they dump them back on us. And now they want to be with them again. How pitiful."
"I bet they really had a good time over there. I mean why else would they be shocked about this. They miss them." Laito says teasingly.
"How provocative. We claimed them as our brides and they don't have loyalty for us. It just comes to show you just how fickle and irresponsible women can be."
That was it. Hearing all of these words including Reiji's makes Rena snap her eyes open.
"If I hear one more word come out of your mouths, I won't hesitate to stake your hearts." She growls in a low deadly voice.
"For weeks we have been held prisoners by those men who have starved us of blood and tortured us to our limit. We have been suffering by their hands this whole time and once we came to you for help, you all betrayed us."
She crosses her arms. "Loyalty? Don't make me laugh. It is not us who doesn't have loyalty. It is you. All of you believe your pitiful lies that you created. And that is utterly pathetic and fucking stupid of you all."
Subaru growls and grabs ahold of her shirt collar when he teleports to her. "You fucking bitch, I should just break your neck right now!!!"
"Subaru-kun stop it!!!!!" Luna screams at him before she pushes him away.
"Stay out of this!!! You were the one who threw me away like I was nothing to you in the first place!!! All you ever wanted was to get your blood sucked by them!!!"
Luna's hand makes contact with Subaru's cheek, leaving behind a red hand mark on his pale skin. Heartbroken tears pour out from her delicate blue eyes as her whole body trembles. Almost everyone is shocked at what she just did. Including Subaru.
"How would you know?!?!" She screams. "You weren't even there!!!"
She turns and sprints out of the room, sobbing.
"Luna-chan!!" Both Aina and Yui run after her.
Sayori stares after Luna and whips her head to Subaru.
"You fucking piece of shit!!!!"
She swings her fist at him but Rena catches her arm, stopping her assault.
"That's enough Sayori." She says and glares at Subaru. "We're finished here."
She releases her arm and waits for her to exit first. Sayori looks at the rest and eventually storms out followed by the huntress.
~(XXX)~
Luna barges in her room and plops down on her bed, sobbing into her pillow. Aina and Yui come running in later on and do their best to comfort her.
"He's so cruel!! How could he say such horrible things to me?!"
"It'll be okay Luna-chan. Subaru-kun's just too dense to see the truth." Yui says.
"They all are." Aina agrees.
"But... I... Oh God!" She whimpers before crying again. "First my mother, then my father. Now I lost him! What am I gonna do?!"
The two women continue to comfort the distraught maiden until she falls asleep.
~(XXX)~
Sayori stormed towards the entrance doors, putting on her black leather jacket.
"Where are you going?"
She stops and sees Rena leaning up against a wall near the doors. She finished putting on her jacket and continues to the doors.
"Nowhere. I'm just going out for a while." She growls as she opens the door.
"Where?"
"Anywhere but here." She walks out and slams the door behind her.
She walks towards the gates. "If you plan on being out for a couple of days then you might as well will need something for protection."
She turns around and her reactions hit as she catches a sword. Rena's sword. Sayori lowers her hand and stares at it.
"Is this your...?"
"I won't be needing it for a while and I trust you can take care of it and use it properly." She says making the redhead look up at her. "Try not to be gone for too long. Rouges tend to multiply into groups during this time of month."
"You're actually gonna let me go?" She asks and Rena looks aside. "Whatever happened to the, 'It's too dangerous to go off on your own without me?' Rena?"
The huntress sighs and crosses her arms. "It has come to my attention that I have been too controlling over you. Despite the fact that you're reckless and young, I see no reason to not allow you to go. You are trained so I suspect that you'll be able to defend yourself. Besides what good will it do if I just hold you back?"
Rena turns around and walks back towards the house. "We're gonna leave this place right?"
Rena stops. "There's no point on staying here if they hate us that much. We could find a new home and live together as a family again. They can't stop us and they have no reason to be with us anymore."
The huntress stands there for a while. "I don't know what you think of it but I can't stay in a house with the likes of them. If they can't love us then we shouldn't have to deal with them. And I'm not going to. When I come back, I'm going to pack up my stuff and leave. And if you're smart about it, which I know you are, you'll come with me. All of us. Tell the others that."
She turns and walks away. Rena stands there in silence until she eventually goes back inside the mansion.
~(XXX)~
"A new home?" Aina asks.
"Away from here?" Yui asks.
"Yes." Rena nods. "Sayori plans on leaving as soon as she comes back and she wants all of us to go with her and I agree. Though I'm not too sure how we'll manage but I'm sure we'll do fine once we find someplace safe for us to live."
Yui looks down as she thinks about the brothers. "But... what about-"
"They cannot stop us from leaving. They no longer love us and therefore we are not their property. We have the right to move out so don't worry about them."
"But what about Selena-san? She's still pregnant and she's not well enough to get out of bed." Luna gestures to the woman lying next to her
Selena looks at her and smiles reassuringly. "You don't have to worry about me Luna-chan. I'll be fine. I mean once the baby is born then I'll be able to leave myself."
Rena closes her eyes and looks down. "Then I will have to stay here with you until the baby is born while the rest of you are gone. Sayori should be capable of protecting you from danger, if not then I will contact some people I know who will."
"You mean more hunters?" Yui asks. "You know some?"
"As a hunter it is required to be acquainted with some members of the slayers organizations. They may not respond to my request since I have become what they despise the most. But it's worth trying."
Aina looks down. "I don't know Rena. This seems so... sudden. I mean I'd love to live somewhere else but... we don't know where to go and... nor would we have the money to go anywhere."
"I see." Rena stands up. "Well I will let you all think about it for a while. But I will discuss this with Reiji-san tonight. Try to get some sleep girls."
She turns and walks out of the room, leaving the rest to think and discuss their decision they need to make.
"I honestly don't know how Rena-san is still able to speak with Reiji-san after everything he's said to her. I thought she'd be a mess like us." Selena says.
"She certainly is a tough woman to break." Yui states.
"I know. I wish I were as strong willed as she is. I bet she's not even heartbroken that much." Luna says.
"You're wrong." Aina looks down at her feet as she hugs herself. "Rena may be a strong woman when it comes to serious situations... but not this time. I know for a fact that deep down Rena is hurting just as much as we are. She loved Reiji-san as much as we loved the brothers. And not once have I ever seen her happy before she got with Reiji-san."
Everyone looks down with sympathy and sadness.
"Maybe... leaving's not such a bad idea." Luna says. "I mean if we stay here then... well... we'll get even more worse than we are now. They won't look at us the same anymore."
Yui looks aside and then starts to think about Ayato. When he took her back, he clarified that she was his and only his. He is so possessive of her and it's only because of her blood. She can't help but feel a little disappointed at that. If anything she'd appreciate him more if he actually came for her.
Would he be able to let her go live somewhere else with the others? For her it'd be nice to be fangs free and who knows maybe she'll meet up with her father again.
Yui sighs. "I doubt that Ayato-kun will let me go that easily. After all he did take me back for my blood."
Everyone looks at her and glares at the mention of his name.
"Well who cares about him and what he wants? He cannot force you to stay here and keep you to himself because he wants your blood. If you want to leave with us then you have the right to! And if he won't allow it then he will have to go through us!" Selena says with determination and Yui smiles.
"That brat has always been spoiled and I won't even think of letting him have you! After all you are a young lady, you have your whole life ahead of you! So don't you worry about him Yui-chan dear!" She pats her shoulder.
She nods and looks down at her stomach which seem to be becoming a little bigger.
"Selena-san. I know that you plan on raising your baby alone without Shu-san. But what are you gonna do once tour baby wants to know who he is?"
That seems to peek everyone's interest when she asked that and Selena looks away and sighs.
"If it was necessary, I'd tell my child about him. But I'm not sure if I'd want Shu-san to meet the baby since he doesn't think that it's his. But... if I happen meet another man who is willing to love and cherish me, then I'd make him the father and my child would never know about Shu-san. That's my plan at least. But I believe it will take a long time for me to find another man."
"I see. Well. At least you'll have us and you're baby." She says brightly and Selena rubs her stomach.
"Yes. At least I have that much. I wonder what I'm going to name the baby if it's a boy." She wonders and everyone eyes brighten up.
"Ooh! How about Haruto?" Luna suggests excitedly.
"Nah. Too broad, I want something unique." She declines.
"Ichiro?" Aina suggests.
"Not quite."
"Kaito?" Yui asks.
"... Let's work on the girl names instead!" Selena gives up.
Some of them laugh and they start suggesting more names for Selena's baby. And for that moment, they've all forgotten the sadness that was in their hearts.
~(XXX)~
It was getting close to morning and everyone is already in bed except for Rena. She was in bed but she couldn't sleep since she was debating to talk to Reiji about her plans for the others and not to mention what he knows about the Mukami's.
She knows that he knows who the man is. The man they called Father and it was quite interesting to see him react to that when he was mentioned. He also must know something about Yui. Like about her blood and why they needed it. How was it special to them?
The huntress clenches fistfuls of her sheets and throws them off as she gets out of bed. She grabs her silken white robe and puts it on before storming out of her room. He knows something and damn it he's going to give her answers.
When she arrives at his door to the lab, she raises her hand to the door, preparing to knock. But then she stops herself. She's hesitating. Why you ask? It's because she can't bear the pain in her heart whenever she sees Reiji. All she can ever think about are the good times they had together.
Reiji was the only man she could ever truly rely on and love with her life. He was her ideal man. She loved everything about him. And now that things have gone downhill for the two of them, who knows how long she'll last without breaking.
She sighs and determination hits her face. She's doing this for the sake of the others. She can't be brought down by anything. Not even Reiji. She will remain strong. For them and herself.
She taps her knuckles on the door. "Reiji-san. I need to speak with you for a minute." She says firmly.
It's quiet for a minute and she's starting to think that he won't answer back.
Then, "Enter." She hears him invite.
She breaths in and exhales before entering his lab. She closes the door and walks in further as Reiji was reading a book.
"I imagine you have questions?" He asks.
He knows what she wants. She knows him better than anyone else.
"Yes. And I want you to give me a straight answer, regardless of how it's none of my concern." She crosses her arms. "Why did they keep on calling Yui-chan Eve? What does it mean? And what... what does it have to do with her blood? And this man they spoke of... Father. Who is he?"
Reiji says nothing and she gets impatient. "I know you know him Reiji, so don't even think on telling me that you have no idea of what I'm asking you about. You know better than that."
He grins in amusement and closes his book before setting it down on the others.
"These things are absolutely no concern of yours." He looks over at her. "Rest assured, I don't think their little plan is going to go very well for them."
She narrows her eyes at him. "So you do know everything. Just like I suspected. And knowing you, there is no way that you'll ever tell me what's going on. How unfortunate."
She didn't have time to react when he firmly grabs ahold of her wrist and pins her down on a desk behind her. She lightly gasps at his sudden change of behavior and he chuckles softly like he's planning something sinister.
"You are incapable of understanding." He says. "However it is true that her blood is very special."
Her robe sleeve slips down her arm as he bites down on it. She flinches at the bite and grabs ahold of his shoulder like she's attempting to shove him away but her strength never came. He was letting her guard down, making her weak with pure pleasure.
He pulls away to stare at her blood as it comes spilling down her arm.
"You're blood is so intoxicating Ms. Tanaka. It smells like nectar and it drives me insane."
Her heart races as he bites her again and she tries her hardest to keep her head on straight. This man knows what he's doing and she can't be weak against him.
He leans down further towards her, piercing her eyes with his ruby red ones.
"Thinking of how they stole you from me..." he leans down towards her neck. "Is very upsetting." He growls lowly before sinking his fangs in her neck.
She gasps loudly and subconsciously arches her back. It's like her body is begging for him. Her hands clench around his arms and she breaths heavily. Her body felt hot and her vision is getting fuzzy from the heat and it gets worse when his free hand start to roam up her body.
"No. This can't be happening. No!"
Once she feels his hand grab and squeeze her left breast, her eyes widen.
"NO!!" She shoves him off of her and he hits the desk behind him pretty hard enough to crack it. Most of his materials and books hit the floor in a heap of mess.
Rena stands there panting heavily and staring violently at Reiji, who seemed to be at a lost right now since she had managed to shove him off of her with remarkable strength. Strength that only belonged to full blooded vampires like him and his brothers.
She suddenly teleports over to him and slaps his face as hard as she could.
"We are leaving this retched hellhole the first thing Sayori comes back!" She hisses before storming towards the door. "If you try to stop us, I will kill you!" She slams the door behind her as she left.
She runs all the way back to her room and slams her door before pressing her back against it like she's trying to keep it closed. She pants heavily and touches her neck. She can't believe that just happened. She nearly submitted to him.
She slides down the door until she's sitting down. Feeling him touch her like that... it brought back so many happy but now painful memories. She squeezes her eyes shut and holds her head as she trembles. Tears spill down her cheeks and begins to sob.
She hasn't cried this hard since her parents death. Not once would she'd have known that she'd be crying over a man like Reiji. Not once at all.

Reiji picks up his glasses that flew off his face when Rena had slapped him. He cleans them with a handkerchief and starts to clean up the mess. As he was tidying up, he begins to think about Rena.
"How has she obtained such strength? She was never that strong before since she's half of what we are. Or unless she's not."
He freezes midway when he picks up one of his glass beakers.
"No. That's impossible. She was a human before. She couldn't possibly be a full blood."
He remembers the time he had interrupted Laito and Sayori. He had seen her thrown his brother across the room with remarkable strength as well. Are all of the brides like this? If so then how did they become so strong like them?
He growls lowly and squeezes the beaker in his hand. He didn't like it when she had easily removed him from her. Who is she to stop him from torturing her? Especially when she chooses to leave this house out of her own free will?
He may be angry with her but all in all she still belonged to him. She was his and only his, the very thought of her leaving and being with another male just pisses him off even more. The beaker in his hand literally crumbles into pieces due to his death grip.
"If you try to stop us, I will kill you!!"
She's not leaving this house. Not on his watch. He is going to have to punish her for even deciding such a thing that he's against. And he will not show an ounce of mercy on her.
Ohhhhhhh no! Looks like somethin's abrewin'!! Tune in next time on chapter 10!!!
