Chapter 10
About a few days have passed and things have been... well dead between everyone. Most of the brides were cooped up in their rooms because they did not want to see the brothers at all.
The same goes for them as well. Both Kanato and Subaru kept their distance from Aina and Luna since they had an intense confrontation when they came back.
Sayori was still gone but she was always calling Rena to let her know that she was okay. Rena was back to her usual self after that... unfortunate night with Reiji. However she refused to make eye contact with him whenever they spoke briefly and sat far away from him whenever they were having dinner.
Yui was fine but as usual she was worried about her friends well-being. She always wondered if she could at least try to help cheer them up or something. She hated it when the people she cares about are hurting.
Selena was still bedridden because of her pregnancy and she rarely gets out of bed. Reiji does his daily check-ups on her and the baby is still healthy but still is regularly thirst for blood and that's not a good for Selena since she has to deal with the pain.
Not once has she ever seen Shu and that both relieved and disappointed her. She'd expected him to at least check up on her or something. It was like he was completely avoiding her and pretending that she doesn't even exist.
Selena was writing these thoughts down in her journal until her stomach felt queasy again. She sighs heavily in annoyance and shuts her journal.
"Honestly child!! You crave for blood at least everyday and I have to suffer through it!! I am your mother, I am going to raise you and this is the treatment I get from you?! I never get the respect I deserve! Especially from your father who doesn't even think you're his!!"
She huffs and leans back as she rubs her stomach. Now she feels a little bad for snapping at her unborn child.
"I'm sorry darling, it's not your fault. Mommy's just really sad right now. She's going through a tough time and she wants to feel better so she can take care of things. Things that will make our lives so much better than it is now."
She lays there for awhile and sighs. "You know... I hope that someday when you grow up and meet someone special, I only hope that you'll cherish that person no matter what happens. I'm only saying this because you're father doesn't truly appreciate me as I thought he did. So do me this honor by avoiding what me and Shu-san had okay?"
Her stomach settles down and she smiles sweetly. "I suppose I'll feed you now. Thanks for listening to your dear ol' mum." She giggles as she picks up a blood bag and drinks it down.
But when she was almost finished, she suddenly felt like throwing up. She covers her mouth and instantly sprints towards the bathroom. She vomits in the toilet and flushes when she's finished.
"Ugh. I seriously hate this morning sickness. I'm going to puke up my guts if you keep this up." She grumbles to herself before noticing the blood in the toilet.
"Huh?" She places her hand on her stomach and looks down at it. "Did you just... reject the blood?"
She staggers up to her feet and she feels fine. She can stand up more than a few seconds again. She can even walk!! When she walks all the way back to her bed with ease, she places her hands on her hips and looks down at her stomach.
"Okay. Are you trying to make things better for me now?"
She laughs and kisses her hand before placing it on her stomach.
"You are officially mommy's little angel!!" She giggles again and rushes to her dresser.
She picks out a long orange and yellow floral maternity maxi dress and slips it on. She then fixes up her hair into some nice curls instead of her normal bun and adds some make-up on.
"I want them to see just how well I'm doing." She rubs her stomach fondly. "And how big you're getting."
She checks herself out in the mirror and smiles. She's already having that beautiful pregnant glow to her. Okay time to make her appearance.

Yui, Rena, Laito, and Shu are in the den room where it's dead silent between the four of them. Rena is quietly reading a book, Laito is doing a crossword puzzle, Shu's sleeping on a couch as usual, and Yui just sits there trying to come up with something to talk about to break the awkward silence.
"Um." Yui taps her fingers on her legs and glances at Rena. "So Rena-san, when is Sayori-san going to come back? It's been a while since she left."
Rena slowly looks up from her book while Laito curiously glances at the eldest.
"Do you think she's okay?" She asks and Rena smiles reassuringly at her.
"Sayori is fine Yui-chan. In fact she'll be here by tonight." She replies, going back to her book.
"Really?" Her eyes brighten. "That's a relief. I was worried that she might've gotten hurt or something."
Laito chuckles in amusement and both the blonde and huntress look at him.
"I highly doubt that anything can touch that woman. Little Bitch is so much like a wild ferocious tiger that cannot be tamed." He grins. "Well except by me of course."
Rena rolls her eyes and reads her book again while Yui looks away.
"I'm actually surprised that Little Bitch went away. I thought that she was cooped up in her room, avoiding me. Why did she leave anyway?" He looks at Rena.
The huntress shuts her book closed and stands up. "Why wouldn't she? She obviously needed some time to be alone without having you to deal with."
"Oh you are so cold Rena-san. Why do have to be so mean? I was only curious about Little Bitch."
She glares at him. "You will refrain yourself from calling my sister that. She is no longer yours so therefore there is no reason for you to keep calling her that."
"On the contrary Rena-san, your beloved little sister is still considered as my bride. I'm the one who turned her and because of that, she still belongs to me. Just like you still belong to dear old Reiji."
"Do not. Try to anger me Laito-kun." She growls lowly. "Sayori is not your property and nor do I still belong to Reiji-san. None of us brides belong to any of you and if you think otherwise then you are in for one hell of a fight."
"Is that a threat?" Shu asks still laying down on the couch. "Do you honestly think that a half-breed like you can take down the six of us? Full blooded vampires?"
She hmphs and crosses her arms. "And why are you suddenly included in this Shu-san? I thought that you wanted nothing to do with Selena-san. I mean she is pregnant after all. Or have you already forgotten about that?"
Shu slowly opens his eyes and Rena scoffs. "Perhaps they were right about you all along. You all are nothing but selfish and conceited assholes that think that they're better than everything."
She turns and walks away. "How pathetic."
Everyone stares after her until she's out of sight. Even Selena was watching from the upstairs balcony. She had just heard and seen everything that had just happened.
"Well that escalated rather quickly." Laito states before sitting back down and picking up his crossword book. "She truly is an ice queen when you get on her nerves."
"Rena-san." Yui sighs sadly before finally noticing Selena up on the upstairs balcony. "Selena-san?!"
Shu opens his eyes back up rather quickly when he hears her name. Laito looks over at the pregnant woman as Yui runs up the stairs towards her.
"Selena-san what are you doing out of bed?! Shouldn't you be resting right now?" Yui asks after hugging her.
Even though she had come at a bad time, Selena decides to ignore everything she heard and puts on a smile for Yui.
"Relax Yui-chan dear, I'm perfectly fine. In fact I think the baby is finally giving me a break since I've been drinking blood for the past few days." She places her hands on her stomach and walks down the stairs with Yui.
"I wanted to get out of that room and at least take a walk. It's been so long since I've been out of bed."
Yui smiles brightly at her. "Well you look like you're feeling a lot better Selena-san and I'm really glad." They step down to the bottom and Yui gestures to her. "And look at you! You look absolutely amazing, you're glowing!"
Selena giggles and Laito is then there beside her.
"I'll say. Who would've thought that having a baby would make such a woman so attractive? What do you think Shu? Doesn't she look absolutely radiant?" Laito asks grinning at Shu.
The eldest still had his eyes closed and sadness briefly hits her heart before she shakes it off.
"There's no point on expecting him to notice you. He wants nothing to do with you and you want nothing to do with him." She tells herself before sighing.
"Don't bother asking him about anything. It's obviously clear that he wants to be left alone for his beauty rest. Come along Yui-chan." She huffs out before walking away with Yui close by.
The two women walk out of the den room and Laito chuckles.
"Wow. Looks like all of the brides are giving us the cold shoulders. I wonder how long that will last." He pinches the hem of his fedora.
"Not too long." Shu replies and Laito glances at him.
"Oh? And what makes you think that Shu-san? I wonder."
"They're all going to leave this house once Sayori comes back tonight." He informs and Laito stares at him a bit caught off guard.
"Hm?" He tilts his head curiously. "Leaving you say?"
"That's a load of bull." Ayato growls after he had appeared out of nowhere. "They have nowhere to go and I sure as hell ain't letting Pancake go with 'em!"
"It doesn't matter if they don't have anywhere to go. All they want is to get away from us as you all are aware during these past few days." Shu says as he sits up.
"Maybe they plan on going back to them." Kanato sneers distastefully, holding his teddy close to him, glaring at the thought.
"Ugh who gives a shit about what they do?" Subaru growls. "They want nothing to do with us and we sure as hell don't need them!"
"Oh is that so?" Laito grins at him. "So you wouldn't care if your Snowflake just packed up her stuff and left you for good?"
"Why would I care?! She left me in the first place so what would it matter if she left again?!" He yells.
"Don't lie to yourself Subaru-kun, we all know that she has you wrapped around her little finger. You'll still love her even when she's gone." Laito says.
"Shut the hell up!!!" He roars before punching a hole though the wall.
"If you break the wall once more Subaru, then you will have to be the one to repair it." Reiji appears, scowling at the youngest brother.
"So what the hell are we gonna do 'bout this?" Ayato asks impatiently.
"It is quite bold of them to choose to abandon to us again." Laito says.
"Brides are not suppose to run away!!" Kanato raises his voice like he's about to throw a temper tantrum.
"Why the hell are we even bothering with this?! They're not human anymore, we don't need their blood! So why the hell do you want them to stay?!" Subaru yells and everyone stays silent.
Reiji takes a seat and knots his fingers together and crosses his legs.
"It is because they are still our mates, that is why. We have successfully awakened them as our brides and we already claimed them. Plus..." he eyes the eldest. "One of them is already bearing the next of our generation. We cannot allow them to leave."
"Okay say that we agree, but how're we gonna keep them from leaving? They hate us and they're just itchin' to get out. It's not like smooth words from us are gonna keep 'em here." Ayato asks.
"Not to mention, they have gotten a lot stronger than before. They're strong like us but now we're getting weaker because of the upcoming lunar eclipse." Kanato says.
"We'll just have to force the issue on them that's all. They will begin to weaken as well since they're like us now. So this shouldn't a problem."
"Maybe for the rest of us, but you got the toughest challenge of all Reiji." Laito says. "You're darling Rena-san's been avoiding you all this time and she won't even think on letting you lay a hand on her. If anything she'll try to tear you apart."
Reiji grins in amusement. "She won't get the chance to unleash her fury on me. I can tell you all that much." He rises from his seat and looks at them. "By the time Ms. Tanaka has arrived, I expect you all to do your part. Especially you Shu." He eyes the eldest who opens his eyes slowly.
Reiji leaves the room and so does everyone else one by one. The only one left is Shu. As he closes his eyes again, he can't help but picture Selena in her beautiful dress with her motherly glow to her. He will admit that she looked absolutely gorgeous.
He begins to remember the times he had with her before she went missing. Besides making love to her, he's been enjoying the time they've spent together like playing music, resting together, even eating together. She may have been a loud woman but he also found her strict and easily flustered behavior to be cute and attractive.
"Shu-san!! Stop being so perverted!! It's so embarrassing!!"
"Shu-san I brought you some dinner!"
"Oh come now! Don't be such a couch potato Shu-san."
"You are impossibly indecent Shu-san!"
"I love you Shu-san."
He sighs and turns on his side. He can't even get her out of his thoughts. That woman literally made a huge impact on his life and not once has a woman ever accomplished that.
It's going to be a huge challenge when he tries to win her heart back tonight. He believed that the baby she's pregnant with wasn't his and left her with those half-breeds. There's no way she could ever forgive him for that but knowing for how stubborn he is, he's going to have to try his damnedest to have her love him again.
He turns to lay on his back again and stares up at the ceiling. Something else was on his mind. The baby.
"One of them is already bearing the next of our generation." Reiji says.
It was his all along and he honestly doesn't know what to do. He's going to be a father.
Realizing this thought, the eldest sits up and takes out his headphones. Shu Sakamaki is going to be a father. He sits there for a long time until he stands up on his feet.
"Looks like I'll finally have to take some serious responsibility for once." He tells himself.

Sayori slices and kicks a rouge away after he attempts to harm her. About three more rouges charge at her and Sayori twirls her sister's sword before swiftly slashing them. They instantly turn to ashes and Sayori sighs when more of them appear.
"Jeez. Rena wasn't kidding when she said that they work in groups during this time of month. Jesus."
"You guys just keep on coming and coming don't ya? Well that's fine." She twirls the sword again and gets in her battle stance. "I'm very pissed off and I need to vent my anger out on something anyways. So come at me you sons of bitches!!" She challenges.
After a few more minutes, Sayori finished killing the rouges when there were none left. The training she learned from her sister had really paid off since all around her are nothing but piles of ashes that are now blowing away with the wind currents.
The redhead sighs and slides her sword back in its case swiftly before flipping open a phone she bought during her stay in town. She needed to call Rena to inform her of her well-being and that she'll be back at the mansion in a few hours.
She dials the number and pushes the call button. It rings a few times and it eventually answers.
"Hey Rena, it's Sayori. Listen I just wanted to tell you that I'm still fine and that I'll be back at the mansion in-"
"Why hello Little Bitch. Long time no see."
Sayori freezes and so does her heart when she heard Laito's voice on the phone instead of Rena's. She stays silent for a bit and then opens her mouth to speak to him.
"Put Rena on the phone now." She growls deadly.
"Now why should I do that? It's been such a long time since you and I had nice a heart to heart chat Little Bitch."
She tempted to throw her phone on the ground or squeeze it until it's broken into little tiny pieces but she needs it in order to communicate with Rena.
"I said. Put. Rena. On the phone. Now." She enunciates as her sanity starts to slips away.
"Oh I'm sorry, but I believe that Rena-san is busy at the moment. Y'know packing her stuff up with the others can be quite the hustle."
Her eyes widen a bit. He knows. Sensing her shocked silence, Laito chuckles.
"You... know?"
"It's like I've said before. I know everything that there is to know about you Little Bitch."
She clenches her fist and growls. "I have sneaking suspicion that you'll take your sweet time of coming back home to me so I decided to come and fetch you instead."
She gasps and he laughs. "You better start running baby. Because it'll make the chase even more fun for me. Oh and one more thing. Your beloved sisters and friends won't be leaving any time soon. My brothers will make extra sure of that."
"Fuck you, you motherfucker!!!!"(Literally) She roars.
She throws the phone on the ground and whips out her gun, shooting it multiple times before sprinting away. Meanwhile back at the mansion, Laito closed his flip phone, smiling. Time for the cat to catch his little mouse.
~(XXX)~
It was night now and it was also dinner time for the vampires. Everyone except for Laito and Selena came since Laito had gone to find Sayori while Selena didn't feel like eating.
It's been a while since both Aina and Luna came die to eat dinner with everyone since they didn't want to come out of their rooms. But seeing how it's going to be their last day staying here, they might as well would join them.
"I'm glad you two decided to join us." Rena greets when they came to the dining room. "Have a seat and enjoy your dinner girls."
They both smile at her but it quickly fades away when they see Kanato and Subaru at the table too. They didn't make eye contact with them but the two females knew for a fact that they weren't too thrilled to see them here. But they just ignore them despite how much they're hurting and take their seats next to Yui and Rena.
"Hey where's Selena-san at? Does she know that dinner is ready?" Yui asks noticing her missing friend.
"Selena-san isn't hungry. She's outside in the garden, taking a walk." Rena informs before she starts eating.
"Oh. I see." She now notices Laito's empty seat. "And Laito-kun?"
"Laito decided to go out tonight so he will not be joining us as well." Reiji informs her as well.
Yui hums softly before eating her dinner. A long silence hits them as they quietly eat their food and it stays like that until Shu stands up from his seat to take his leave.
"I suppose while you're at it Shu, you might as well will check up on Ms. Nai." Reiji speaks to the eldest as he's about to walk out of the room. "Make sure she's not unconscious anywhere on the property."
"Whatever." He replies bluntly before leaving the room.
Rena dabs her mouth with her napkin and picks up a fork to pierce her food with it. But when she did, her head started to feel a bit fuzzy and light.
At first she thought it was nothing. But when she had dropped her fork on her plate to hold her head, she knew that something was up. Everyone looks at her and Aina places her hand on her shoulder.
"Rena is something wrong? Are you feeling okay?" She asks with concern and Rena lifts her head up to look at her.
"I'm fine Aina. I just feel a bit..." She rubs her temple and Reiji eyes her.
The huntress stands up from her seat and sets her hands on the table to keep herself in balance.
"Please excuse me for a minute, I need to use the lavatory." She says before walking out of the room.
Everyone stares after her until they resume eating. However Reiji had set his napkin down on his plate and rose up from his seat.
"That will be all for today but if you wish to continue eating then you may do so. Just make sure you all clean up after yourselves."
"Yeah yeah, we all know the routine Reiji. Just go do whatcha normally do." Ayato dismisses him nonchalantly.
When Reiji left, Ayato's gaze landed on Yui, who didn't seem to notice. Even both Kanato and Subaru take a look at the three remaining brides that simply at in peace. It kind of irked them to see how they're managing to ignore them like they're not there.
The girls were fully aware of the brothers stares but they chose to ignore them since it'll do no good to acknowledge it. However they were uncomfortable by them. Just why are they staring at them like that? Are they planing on doing something? Are they judging them again? Why are they staring at them?!
Finally Luna takes a quick glance at Subaru and he instantly looks away like he's pissed off. Aina slowly meets Kanato's eyes and regrets it when she sees his deadly gaze. She then looks away herself.
When they were done eating they all stood up to pick up their own plates and walk out of the room. The brothers stare after them until Subaru scoffs and stands up.
"God this is fucking stupid. I shouldn't have to deal with this shit anymore!"
"They acted as if we didn't exist to them." Kanato states as he hugs teddy tightly. "How dare they?!" He stabs the table with a fork.
"Quit you're damn whining you two! Remember what Reiji said. We can't let 'em leave tonight so don't try to scare 'em off for fuck sakes!" Ayato snaps at them quietly.
"I don't give a shit of what Reiji wants us to do! That woman can do whatever she wants, it's not like she wants to stay here with me anyways!!" Subaru hisses.
"Maybe we can just kill them and I'll add them to my collection." Kanato suggests. "That would be nice wouldn't it Teddy? Who needs them alive when we can preserve them forever?" He asks his stuffed companion.
"Don't even think about it you little brat! Pancake is mine and if anyone's gonna kill her, it's gonna be me! Got it?!" Ayato hisses at his younger brother.
"Tch whatever! I'm done with this shit!" Subaru storms out and Kanato stands up too.
"I'll get everything ready anyways. Just in case." He says before teleporting away.
Ayato sighs and rolls his eyes. "Idiots."

Rena splashes some water on her face as she was washing her hands. Why is she all of a sudden feeling dizzy? Was it her lack of blood? No, she just had her fill just yesterday. So then what could be making her feel like this. It's like no matter how hard she tries to stay awake, she gets even more drowsier by the minute.
She sighs and walks out of the bathroom and into the hallway. Her legs start to wobble as she's trying to walk normal and she uses the wall for balance. Okay something is definitely going on with her. Her body is refusing to obey her and she can barely keep her eyes open. Her vision begins to become a blur and she stops when she runs into something.
"It appears that the drug is taking affect on you like I thought it would."
Drug? She immediately backs up but doesn't get to far when her legs start to betray her. The son of a bitch drugged her! He must've slipped it in her drink or food!!
"Reiji-san! You crazy, slimey, son of a... you..." She loses consciousness and hits the floor.
Reiji stares down at the huntress before him and kneels down to pick her up. Once she's in his arms, he takes her away to his laboratory.
~(XXX)~
The huntress flutters her eyes open once the drug she's been given by Reiji had been worn off. Her blurred vision is restored when tries to look at her surrounding and finally sees that she's in Reiji's laboratory.
Rena tries to move but she then notices that her hands are chained above her head, against the wall along with her feet tied together. Her clothes have also gone missing and she's wearing nothing but her black undergarments. Rena struggles with her chain restraints until she heard the door open and close.
"So you finally managed to awaken. I was hoping you would."
Her gaze lands on Reiji as he presents himself in front of her. Rena struggles violently against the chains.
"You've got some nerve Reiji-san!!! What is the hell is this?!? I demand an explanation!!" She yells and gets backhanded by him.
"Silence you vile woman. You are not allowed to speak unless you are spoken to. That is one thing we will have to work on during your punishments."
"I demand you to release me right now!!!" She hisses. He had never slapped her before!!
"My you are quite the rebel. Speaking to me as if I have no authority over you. How ungrateful." He says lowly.
The bespectacled vampire rolls up his white sleeves and whips out his long black crop whip.
"First you got yourself affiliated with other men and now you're choosing to leave again without my permission. I have to say, no one has ever crossed my line as much as you have."
"I said to let me go Reiji-san!!! You have no right to do this!!! I don't belong to you anymore!!" She snarls and he slaps her harder before grabbing her throat.
"Is that so? Well I hate to tell you otherwise but you are dead wrong about that my dear. I have every right to punish you as I please and you are going to learn to fear me more and more as your master." He growls lowly as he squeezes her throat.
Rena slightly chokes when his hand is cutting off some of her circulation in her throat.
"I'm certain you had your fair share of pain but nothing is going to compare to the sufferable agony I am about to afflict onto you. So prepare yourself my dear because by the time I'm finished with you, you will never want to disobey nor cross me ever again."

Selena sighs softly as she stares up at the starry night sky. It was so peaceful and beautiful out here in the garden, she wishes that it couldn't be disturbed.
"One thing I'm going to miss about this place is the peaceful view from here." She speaks mainly to her unborn child. "It's so beautiful, I wish you'd see it someday. But that all depends if-"
"Depends if I allow it?"
She gasps and whips around in alarm, clearly shocked with disbelief when she sees Shu here, leaning up against a stone wall near some rose bushes.
"Shu-san!!" She exclaims and stares at him.
She stares until she looks away, not wanting to see his handsome face anymore.
"What are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be inside resting like you normally do?"
"Why is he even out here? It's not like him to come outside for any other reason."
"I wanted to make sure that you didn't faint." He replies earning a scoff from her.
"Wanted? Ha! If anything I'd say that you were forced to come check up on me Shu-san!" She crosses her arms. "Because let's just face facts, you wouldn't do anything productive unless you were told to and you had to obey! That's all you ever do and frankly I'm disappointed by that."
She sighs and closes her eyes. "Anyways, as you can see I'm clearly fine and now you can go back and have your precious beauty sleep! It's not like I need your company anyways and I doubt you need mine!"
Things are silent but she has a feeling that he's still there. When she looks over her shoulder, sure enough he was still there. Now she's getting annoyed.
"Why are you still here?! I want you to go away! Can't you see that I want some alone time with my unborn child?!" She holds her stomach.
He stays silent then, "And what would you suggest I'd do if I don't want to leave?"
She stares at him for the longest time until she sighs in annoyance and walks past him.
"Fine, then I'll leave!"
That ignorant man! Who is he to bother her at a time like this? Especially when he made no sign on being with her again. He doesn't even have the guts to even think that her baby is his.
Shu's strong hand reaches out and grabs ahold of her wrist, yanking her back towards him. She exclaims in shock and fear when he wraps his arms around her and squeals when he bites down on her neck. He didn't didn't drink any of her blood since it seemed to be poisonous still and there was proof of that when her black blood emerged from his bite mark he left on her.
Selena starts to slap him and desperately tries to pull out of his tight embrace. "Let go of me!! Unhand me this instant Shu-san!! You're not allowed to touch me anymore!!!"
She gasps and groans as her stomach started to act up. "You're... You're upsetting the baby!!!"
Shu pulls away a little but still holds her close to him. He looks down at her stomach and slowly places his hand on it.
"What are you doing?!? Don't put your filthy hands near my child!!!"
"It's a boy." he says and she freezes.
She looks and stares at him in shock and then down at her stomach. He can tell what kind of gender the baby is?! And it's a boy?!
"A... boy? I'm... I'm going to have a... a son?"
"No, you're not. We are." He corrects her and now she's furious as she shoves him away.
"What do you mean 'we are'?!? Don't you dare include yourself in this picture!!! You didn't even want anything to do with him because he's not yours remember?!? And he never will be because he will never know anything about you!! In fact my son won't even know that you ever existed!!!"
He stares down at her and much to her surprise, he had either irritation or anger in his eyes.
"Besides it's not like you'd do anything to help support the baby. You can't even support this family and you're the eldest. What makes you think that you're even capable of taking care of us? Taking care of my son?"
She shakes her head at him. "I also can't be with a man who won't even trust me. Or who is capable of hurting me by breaking my heart. That is why I'm deciding to find a new father for this child, that way he will never know who you are and what you're like. And it'll help me move on from you too. So do me a favor and don't even act like you even care about me or the baby because we both know that that's not true."
Shu never really reacted to any vulgar words that were pointed to him. He honestly didn't give a damn since nothing ever mattered to him. But this time... nothing has ever hurt him nor pissed him off by hearing those words come out from the woman he so desires and secretly loves.
She sighs and turns away, rubbing her temple. "Look just... just go. And don't bother me anymore."
She crosses her arms and turns to step away from the eldest. If it weren't for her blood, he'd be biting her senseless. And he knows that he can't be too rough with her since he doesn't want the baby to react to him. So what is he gonna do?
Selena gasps and exclaims when the eldest suddenly sweeps her off her feet into his arms.
"What are you- put me down!!" She protests as he carries her towards the mansion. "Put me down or you will suffer the consequences Shu-san!!" She slaps his chest numerous times as she struggles to get away. "This is not dignifying, put me down!!"
She screams and thrashes around like she's throwing a tantrum. And Shu still carries her unfazed by her raging struggling and slaps. Eventually they arrive at his room and he puts her on the bed.
She attempts to get off but Shu then lays his entire body on hers, basically pinning her underneath him since he's pretty heavy.
"Get... off me!!! Shu-san stop it!!" She tries pushing him off and she gasps in pain when her stomach acts up again.
She felt his hand touch her stomach and his lips near her ear.
"Stop fighting and the pain will fade away." He tells her.
She wanted to fight him because she didn't want him touching her at all like this but at the same time she doesn't because she wants the pain to stop. If she's unhappy then so is the baby. And if the baby's unhappy then she will have to suffer the pain.
So she reluctantly relaxes her body and slows down her breathing until the pain finally stops.
"Good girl. That wasn't so hard was it?"
Her hand slap his cheek hard but he still remains on top of her.
"I hate you!!!" She yells and slaps him more until he grabs her wrist and pins it down.
"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!!! I wish you would just go and die in your sleep!!!"
Once again her stomach acts up and she had to calm herself down before it got even worse. But she honestly couldn't care right now because she couldn't stop screaming and struggling. She didn't want Shu to be anywhere near her or touching her at all.
Once the pain was too much for her to bear, she eventually stops and tears escape her eyes.
"I hate you." She whimpers before crying.
She cries even when Shu caresses her cheek. He places his lips on hers in a gentle kiss but later on becomes a passionate one. Selena whimpers and grabs hold of his arms like she's going to try to push him away.
His lips. They're cold yet so warm against hers. She's forgotten how wonderful they felt and if she's being honest with herself, she really missed the feeling of his touch.
She doesn't know what to do. At the same time she needs to push him away but she can't because it's like she desperately needed this man and he with her.
More tears spill out as her arm subconsciously wraps around his neck, running her hand through his hair. Oh how she missed being in his arms again. When he released her wrist, her other hand flies up to grab fistful of his hair to kiss him harder.
She moans when his hands slide down her hips and holds it firmly. His lips travel down her neck all the way down to her stomach where he rests his head for a while.
Not only could he sense the baby within her but he can also hear its little heartbeat. He rubs her stomach slowly as if he's trying to caress the baby and places a kiss on there.
"I will never... lose you both ever again." He says and Selena looks down at him.
"Oh Shu-san." She whispers. "Shu-san, I want to believe you but... how can I?"
She gasps and grunts when she's pushed back down on the bed by him.
"I'll prove it to you."
She tenses up and slightly whimpers when he kisses her neck.
"Sh-Shu-san please!" She grabs his shoulders and looks away. "I-It might not be good for the baby! And I-I-this isn't the right-"
"Be quiet and hold still." He leans down and sinks his fangs in her neck.
Selena flinches and clenches fistfuls of his shirt. Why is he biting her? Isn't her blood poisonous?! Her grip on him tightens when he starts to drink her blood.
"Why isn't he reacting to it?! He's going to kill himself!"
"Shu-san stop! My blood is-"
She stops when he pulls away and sees her red blood that's stained on his lips.
"What? H-How... I thought-"
"Your blood is only poisonous when the baby believes you're in danger with any male. But when you're not, then your blood turns back to normal."
She stares at him until looks down at her stomach then back at him.
"So that means that the baby... trusts you now?"
"Technically he can feel what you're feeling. So if he's fine with me, then that means you are too."
She tenses when he lightly kisses her neck and gasps loudly when he bites her again.
"Ah Shu-san! It... It hurts!"
She was lying. His bites always felt good to her and they always will. But she couldn't really say that since she's still in denial with him.
"That's because I know you want it to hurt. That face you make when I'm drinking your blood. It's like you're begging me for it." He chuckles softly. "You're such a lusty woman."
"Stop it Shu-san!"
"Tell me how you really feel. You want me to drink from you. Just say it and I'll drink from you until you're satisfied."
"But that's not-"
"The baby will be fine. If anything I think he needs his parents to get along now."
She gasps when he reverses their positions, him on bottom and her on top.
"Now. Drink my blood."
He starts to unzip the back of her dress. "And don't you dare say that you won't. I need to filter out whatever garbage our son's been consuming and give him something better. Something you'll love having."
He brings her head down to his neck and his to hers. "You are mine. And you'll always be mine. You..." he sets his hand on her side near her stomach. "And Shin."
Shin? He named the baby Shin? Selena stares ahead until Shu bites her neck. She whimpers and pants when he bit her in other places on her neck. Mostly her sweet spots.
She can't hold it in for much longer. Imagining the taste of his sweet blood aroused her thirst and it drove her insane. So she eventually gave in and bit down on his shoulder. She shivers when she feels his cold hands slide up her bare back and whispers in her ear.
"No one's gonna steal you away from me again." he removes her dress from her body. "No one."
His mouth locks onto hers and he kisses her passionately as she moans.

Sayori pants as she sprints in town. She needs to find a good hiding spot where that bastard of an ex-lover couldn't find her. She also needed to be prepared to kill the son of a bitch if he does find her because not only does she hate his guts now, but that she's also not going down without a fight.
"Shit! There's gotta be someplace I can hide!! Damn it!!!"
She runs until she decides to go in a random building which happens to be a night club. Upbeat music plays and lots of people are dancing together.
"I guess this place will have to do. I need a drink anyways."
The redhead tucks her gun in further towards her back since she doesn't want anyone to see her weapon and heads to the bar. She sighs as she leans against the counter and looks at the bartender.
"Martini, straight up please."
The bartender nods once to her. "Sure thing."
"Make that two please."
Sayori froze and slowly looks to her right. She jumps back when she sees Laito standing next to her with that seductive grin on his face.
"Shit. Fucking hell!!"
She's reaches for her gun but she stops when she couldn't find it. Laito smiles as she pats herself and chuckles.
"Looking for something?" He asks as he secretly pulls out her gun from his pocket. "Did you really think that I'd let you use a dangerous weapon in a fun public place like this Little Bitch?"
"You fucker." She growls deadly and the bartender presents the two of them with their martin's.
"Here's your drink ma'am and you too sir."
"Thanks." Laito grabs his drink and drinks his slowly as he stares at Sayori, who now grips the handle of Rena's sword.
"You better get out my sight before I spill your fucking guts all over the floors here." She warns.
Laito chuckles in amusement and props his chin on his hand.
"Oh you know how I love it when you threaten me like that Little Bitch. You're fiercest threats really turns me on."
"I'm not going back there with you. I'd rather die than to be with the likes of you. So you can just forget about leaving this bar with me!"
"Oh but sweetheart, have you already forgotten about what I said earlier? I told you that I'd be fetching you so whether you like it or not, you're not going back home alone. Besides it's not really fair to hear that my brothers are already punishing the other girls."
That causes her to grab two fistfuls of his shirt and slam him against the counter where a few people are staring at them with concern and confusion.
"You wanna run that by me again you fucking piece of shit? What the fuck are your brothers doing to my sisters and friends?" She growls.
He chuckles softly. "Well let's just say that they're planning on taking some... extreme measures with them. And I can't wait to use mine on you Little Bitch. Thinking about it just gets me all riled up and want you even more."
She growls violently as she shoves him away and draws out her sword. Some people start to clamor with worry and fear as she points it at Laito.
"I should've killed you when I had the chance!!!" She hollers at him before swinging her blade at him.
Her blade hit the counter instead of him since he teleported away. However now that she's stronger she can already sense him behind her.
She swings her fist at him as she spun around to him and got stopped when he shoves a wet cloth on her face. Chloroform! Sayori struggles violently with Laito but she got weaker until she eventually fell unconscious.
After she was finally sedated, Laito scoops her up and throws her over his shoulder.
"Sorry about that. Lovers quarrel. You all have a good night." He says to everyone before exiting the building with his unconscious bride.

Luna stares at herself as she slowly brushes her hair in the mirror. It's been awfully quiet in the mansion and she hasn't seen any of the girls since dinner.
"I wonder if Rena-san's doing okay. And Selena-san. I hope they're not ill or anything."
She sighs when she sets her brush down and stands up to resume packing. She begins to fold up her clothes and sets them inside her suitcase. But when she grabs another piece of her clothing, something metallic clatters on the ground next to her.
"Hm?" Luna looks down beside her feet and bends down to retrieve Subaru's silver knife he has given her sometime ago back when she was human.
The white maiden stares down at the knife with sadness and heartbreak for it reminds her of the hurtful words he said to her.
"You were the one who threw me away like I was nothing to you in the first place!!!"
She bites down on her bottom lip and looks away when she tries to prevent herself from crying. Tears were filing her eyes but they never came out.
She sniffles and takes a seat on her bed, still holding onto the knife. What is she to do now? Even though she's leaving there's no way she can ever forget about Subaru.
He was her first love. Her first everything. And now he's going to be out of her life for good as soon as she steps out of the house with her friends. And she has no intention on seeing him ever again and that broke her heart.
Now her tears fall from her face and a few fell on the silver knife in her hands. She can't forget him but she's going to have to try. She'll have to dispose of anything that reminds her of him and if one thing's for sure, this knife will definitely bring back happy and painful memories of her once beloved Subaru Sakamaki.
The maiden slowly stands up from her bed and makes her way to her balcony. She clutches the knife close to her chest right before she extends it out over the railing and let's go of it, letting it fall until it hits the soft rose bushes down below.
Her arms falls back to her side and she speaks out softly as the warm gentle breeze brushes past her.
"Goodbye... Subaru-kun."
She turns back and goes back inside, closing her doors and curtains behind her. After a few minutes later footsteps were heard and a white hand rummages through the rose bushes grabbing ahold of the knife and pulling it out.
It was the former keeper of the knife itself, Subaru. He sensed and watched Luna walk out of her room and drop the knife. He had forgotten that she still had it.
He also heard her say goodbye to him. But she was mainly speaking to herself, saying that she's going to forget him now. And throwing his knife away was proof of that.
The white tsundere vampire clutches the weapon in his hand as he stares at her balcony where she was just at. He kept telling himself that he could care less about her. But then why is he so angry at her right now?
All of his emotions are clustered together in a huge mess. He was angry, hurt, and lost. Even his chest start to hurt from what he denied was heartbreak. This gentle woman really did have a huge impact on him and that not only pissed him off even more but also hurt him.
Deep down, he never wanted to hurt her. In fact he regretted what he said to her the moment she slapped him and told him off.
"How would you know?!?!" She screams. "You weren't even there!!!"
He was pissed off because he knows she was right. How would he know what she's been doing with those half-breeds? He wasn't there and she made him feel awful. He truly was a monster.
Subaru grits his teeth and swings his foot at a tree.
"Damn!!!!"
His foot kicks the tree so hard it falls down, hitting and breaking the ones in its way and causing such a loud ruckus. It was loud enough to startle Luna and make her peer out her window to see what was going on.
She gasps softly when she sees him. Especially when he has the knife in his hand. Was he angry because of her now? Has he been watching her the whole time? What has gotten into him?
Her heart sped up once she's seen him make eye contact with her through the window. She quickly shuts the curtains back over the window and immediately goes back to her suitcase.
She closes it and zips it up, securing her belongings inside. Once she got everything ready, she carries her luggage to her door. She sets them down to open her door and once she did, fear and horror struck her.
She screamed and slammed the door shut which was soon kicked across her room by Subaru's powerful kick. She was soon grabbed by him and she freaked out. He's going to hurt her or worse kill her!!
"NO!!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!" She screams.
She shoves him away, letting him fly and crash through her wall into the next room. She didn't waste time gawking at her newly discovered strength because all she could ever think about is getting away from Subaru. So she ran. She ran so hard and so fast, she was already outside and past the entrance gates.
She screamed and whimpered when she heard him holler out to her as she was still running.
"LUNA!!!"
"No!!! Leave me alone!!!" She cries out.
Her foot trips over a tree root and she tumbles down a steep hill just in front of her. Her dress gets torn when tumbling down the hill and she also gets scratched up. But she didn't care. She was scared for her life and she couldn't stop running.
She ran until she spots an old abandoned building. She had no choice but to run over there to hide. She runs inside and slams the doors shut before blocking them with her body. She pants heavily but as softly as she could for she feared that he could hear her.
She covers her mouth and tries very hard not to cry. She was so scared right now, she was this close from bursting into tears. But she didn't want him to find her, she was terrified of him right now. To calm herself she quietly starts to pray.
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. The Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. Oh God." She whimpers and holds her head as she's trembling.
She screams and hits the floor when the doors suddenly burst open and crumbles into pieces like it was just in a explosion. Luna covers her head as little wood pieces come raining down on her and is instantly on her back when she hears heavy footsteps coming towards her.
"No matter where you go, no matter where you run and hide, you can never escape me Luna."
She attempts to run away again but she is quickly captured by him. She screams and struggles with him hysterically.
"No!!!! No, let go of me!!!! Help!!!! Help, please somebody hel-"
Her screams are then muffled by his cold hand.
"There's no point on screaming out for help Luna. Nobody is here to hear you except me. So get that through your head and shut the hell up!!"
He throws the maiden over his shoulder and she struggles helplessly as he storms out of the building, back towards the mansion.
~(XXX)~
Laito teleports inside the mansion as soon as he was close enough to teleport inside. And on his way to his room since he had a bride to awaken and punish in his own way.
Sayori is hanging down over his shoulder and she started to come around when the chloroform started to wear off. But what really woke her up was the sound of a door being kicked open and Luna screaming.
"Wha- Luna-chan?" She whispers as her visions tries to restore itself.
"No!! Subaru-kun no!!! Put me down!!!" Luna cries.
"Well, well! Would you look at this!" Laito says incredulously. "Looks like my little brother is finally letting his instincts take over."
Once Subaru storms past Laito, both Luna and Sayori catch a glimpse of each other.
"Sayori-san!!!" Luna calls out and Sayori is now struggling as she's reaching out for the distresses maiden.
"Luna-chan!!!" She hollers back. "Let me GO!!!" She roars at Laito after he continues his own way.
"Sayori-san!!!" Luna cries out again before she was out of sight.
"NOO!!!!" She screams and angry tears rain down her cheeks as she pounds her fist on Laito's back as hard as she could and it hurt him a little but he continues his way still. "I!!! FUCKING!!! HATE YOU!!!!"
Sayori screams in fits of rage even as Laito enters his room.
"You won't for long." Laito says mainly to himself right before he shuts the door closed.
~(XXX)~
Aina sits in a den room near the fireplace just looking out a window. She sits there so she can keep an eye out for her second eldest sister, Sayori. She was done packing and she was sure that everyone must be in bed or something so all she could do is just keep watch.
"It's almost close to morning. Sayori should be here very soon." She thinks to herself before furrowing her eyebrows together in confusion. "Strange. I haven't seen anybody since dinner. I know that Yui is in her room sleeping right now and the others are probably still packing but they should've been done by now. I know the brothers are doing their own thing as well. So... why is it so quiet?"
"Why did you run away from me?"
Aina gasps softly and flinches back when she sees Kanato standing there in front of her.
"Oh no. What's he doing here?"
"K...Kanato-kun? What are you...?" She slowly touches her neck as she remembers what he tried to do the last time he got angry with her. He nearly killed her. Again. "What do you want?" She manages to say that much.
The purple headed vampire stares at her with that dark glare of his. "You're a liar."
She cringes back when he leans towards her. "I thought you wanted to belong to me." He suddenly grabs ahold of her shoulder. "But then you went and ran away with them!!"
"No I didn't!!! I swear I didn't Kanato-kun!!!" She insists desperately and he cups her cheek.
"I thought you wanted to just be my toy." He says to her with that look of anger and hurt in his eyes.
She stares at him and tears surfaced in her eyes. "I did." She whispers before turning her face away. "But not anymore."
Those words couldn't have been more hurtful to Kanato. At the same time he wants to kill her but he also wants to keep her to himself. She treated him and Teddy with love and kindness and he always loved that about her. But now that she's saying these horrible things like not wanting to be his anymore just breaks his heart, even though it's not beating.
"How dare you?!?" He yells at her and she squeezes her eyes shut, not wanting to see him anymore and preparing herself for the worst. "I will never forgive you!!!"
Instead of possibly doing something to kill or hurt her severely, like she expected him to do, he bites down on her neck and sinks his fangs in her flesh. She instantly gasps and squeals in resistance as he's drinking from her.
"Kanato-kun stop it!!!" She grabs his shoulders and squeezes her eyes shut.
He pulls away. "It feels the best when you're my toy doesn't it?" He asks before biting her shoulder next.
Heat rushes up to Aina's face and body as the pleasurable feeling of Kanato's fangs in her skin. Other than being with him, this is the one thing she missed. It hurts her even more when the happy memories of them together flood back into her head. Kanato pulls away and smiles softly.
"Everything will be alright. As long as you stay with me, as long as you're here.."
He raises his face to hers and she can see the gentleness in his eyes. "If you will stay by my side then you and I can always be together."
He leans forward and kisses her sweetly. Tears roll down her cheeks as she felt his soft lips on hers. She missed his touch and his sweetness. She missed it so much, it's getting harder for her to leave. He was her only love, he made her feel special and safe, he made her feel truly love.
Kanato abruptly pulls away when the doors to the room opens and Aina gasps when Azusa comes staggering in with a bleeding side. Yui is also there with him, trying to keep him up on his feet with her support.
"Miss Aina. It's bad!" he exclaims fearfully.
"Azusa-kun?! Yui-chan?" She glances at Yui in shock and confusion while Kanato just glares at them resentfully.
"He said that Ruki-kun is hurt! I have to go and see if he's alright!" She says worriedly.
"You have to... come with us too Miss Aina. It's not safe here. They'll come here." Azusa says.
"Who will come?" She stands up and walks towards them with concern. "Azusa-kun what happened?"
She's soon stopped when Kanato snatches her wrist in his hand. She turns around and stares at him.
"Kanato-kun?" She asks nervously.
"What are you doing? Are you going to leave me again because it's what he wants?" He squeezes her wrist in his tight grip and she groans in pain.
"Kanato-kun, Azusa-kun is badly injured, I have to help him! Let go of me!"
"You really are a liar. Alright then. I'll kill you. I'll kill you all!!!" He yells.
"No please don't Kanato-kun!!!" Yui pleads desperately.
"Miss Aina! Please hurry! I can't leave you here to them!" Azusa pleads and Kanato yanks Aina to him, wrapping his arms around her possessively and angrily, like a child that doesn't want his toy to be taken away.
"Shut up!! And get out, leave us alone!!"
"STOP IT!!!" Aina yells before slapping Kanato and yanking herself away.
She gasps and freezes in terror when she realizes what she had done. Kanato stands there with shocked wide eyes and touches his red cheek. Aina goes over to him instantly.
"Kanato-kun, I'm sorry!!! I didn't mean to!!! It was an accident, I swear!! I'm so so sorry!!!" She insists desperately and sincerely.
"I see." He says and lowers his hand from his face as he stares at her with emotionless eyes. "If you really don't want to be with me, then I'll just kill you all right now."
She gasps and chokes when his hand shoots out and grabs her throat.
"Aina-chan!!!" Yui calls in horror as the girl chokes.
"No!" Azusa exclaims before staggering forward as quick as he could.
He approaches Teddy and picks him up, gaining Kanato's attention from killing Aina.
"I won't let you stop us." He says and Kanato widens his eyes once he sees his teddy in his hands. "Kanato-san. I'm sorry."
With that, the half-breed tosses Teddy into the fire pit and Kanato instantly releases Aina and screams.
"AZUSA!!!" Teddy hits the ground and the flames start to eat up the stuffed bear, sending Kanato into a sobbing rage. He screams and immediately runs over to the fire pit. "TEDDY!!! TEDDY!!!"
Aina holds her aching throat and stares at Kanato in shock and heartbreak. Seeing him like that made her feel horrible. She was falling apart.
"Kanato-kun!" Tears roll down her cheeks and Yui runs over to her.
"Aina-chan!" She exclaims and looks up at Kanato too with worry.
Azusa grabs both of their hands. "Let's go."
"But..." Yui protests and Aina starts to cry. "I can't leave him like this!! Kanato-kun!"
But Azusa pulls them along anyway, leaving behind a heartbroken and sobbing vampire alone to watch his best friend being burned into ashes still. He had to get Yui and Aina to safety because what he and his brothers had just gone through was a blood bath. The Mukami mansion is now wrecked and covered in blood, he couldn't let those wolves do the same to them.
Each bride is suffering right now. Even the brothers. All of them are desperate to be loved again and what the brothers are doing are completely out of control. This night is nothing but hell for them right now and it's only a matter until the real hell begins.
Poor Kanato!! I just hate seeing him break down like that especially when his only friend got burnt to ashes!!;( Not to mention poor Aina! Things were about to be fine with her and Kanato. But no, I'd decided to be a jerk and do this instead. I'm horrible I know;) Anyways I hope you all liked this one, I have two more chapters left and I'm this close to finishing it!
