Behind a stone column, in a black suit that was accompanied by a white tie, there stood a grinning blonde male that possessed a pair of unusual eyes. One of his eyes was a calm, celestial blue while the other one was a crimson, intense red color. His breast pocket was decorated by a pinned white rose and he couldn't help but keep on staring at the blonde female with sherbet pink eyes that stood behind Sakura, who had pulled her out of her seat and pushed her behind her protectively when she had recognized the vicious guy. The woman who was before smiling sweetly was now glaring menacingly at the Mukami, clearly daring him to come a step closer. She too, stood and went behind Yui, placing a hand on the girl's shoulder and gripping tightly.

Yui didn't understand what was going on, Sakura had been about to explain further what had happened before Yui ended up in the hospital but she had stopped abruptly when she had seen the boy behind the column grin and wink at her. Sakura turned her head and put her lips to Cordelia's ear, whispered something Yui couldn't hear, and Cordelia nodded, embracing Yui and smirking seductively at the Mukami, who was surprised to see a woman's mood change so easily as Cordelia's had.

Sakura smiled at the Mukami and went forward after giving Yui a reassuring squeeze in the hand. ''Play along and listen to Cordelia if you want us three to live, Yui. Please…I don't want you dead.'' Yui had been frightened deeply but nodded at Sakura's warning.

''Hello, sir. I noticed you taking interest upon my conversation a while ago, if I'm not mistaken.'' Said Sakura using her best diplomatic and formal tone, indicating she was all business with the known stranger, if that makes sense.

''I was taking an interest upon you.'' He replied, taking a step closer to Sakura and adding in a flirtatious way. ''Actually, I was thinking I've seen you before, surely a pretty face like yours wouldn't go unnoticed by me.''

''Cle-Clearly, there's some mistake. You see, I don't know you, and I don't-'' She meant to say, ''I don't wish to know you so get the hell out of here before I call the police and inform them of your attempt to kidnap Yui, you dumbass.'' But instead, she said,'' I don't think I've ever seen you before.''

''You are Sakura Sakamaki, the human who got turned into a vampire at the age of seven after your mother died of an illness that you caught since it was contagious. You attended the royal ball at the age of nine, when you were crowned as Princess Sakura, daughter of the Vampire King through marriage. Ever since you were small, you have always taken a love for music and justice. You are specially passionate about politics, just like your father, in fact-''

''I'm sorry but I do not know whom you talk about.'' Sakura said, trying not to show the anger at the fact that every vampire knew every detail of her life. It made her feel watched, and she didn't like it. The attention that was placed on Sakura made her attempts to protect Yui even harder because if she made any move to help Yui in a way that would reflect bad on her stepfather, vampire society would surely glare down at her, as they've always had ever since Sakura passed onto history as the first royal with dirty blood- that is, not completely vampire blood since she was originally human. However, out of respect and fear of the King, nobody ever mentioned this. ''I think you need a doctor. I will go get you one.''

''Doctor? Isn't every detail of your life basically written down on the books on vampires? Now you're just going to pretend in front of one of your own kind that you're still human? Please, Sakura, get over it and admit you are indeed the Princess.'' He said the last word with disgust, but Sakura didn't blame him for hating the Sakamaki dynasty. She herself had once hated herself for becoming one of the people she used to criticize.

''Vampire?!'' Sakura said the word in a loud voice so that everyone could hear. People from everywhere turned around to look at Kou. ''You believe in vampires?!''

''Sakura, really? Stop acting like you don't know anything of what I'm saying, just admit you are the Vampire Princess!'' He yelled, clearly showing his anger at her.

''I'm sorry, I don't think I understand. Are you feeling all right?'' Sakura added in feigned concern and confusion. Kou just glared at her.

'' All right, Kou. I am the actress you saw in that vampire movie. I'm sorry for denying it at first!'' Sakura said loudly. She gave Kou a look and he understood.

''Oh, that's alright!'' Kou pretended to be fascinated at meeting her, asked for her autograph and at this Sakura replied. ''But why would I give you my autograph, KOU MUKAMI! YOU ARE, LIKE, SO FREAKIN' FAMOUS THAT I'M THE ONE WHO WANTS YOUR AUTOGRAPGH!''

At this, every girl that was within ear shot ran towards them. ''GIRLS IT'S KOU MUKAMI!'' A girl yelled once she saw him. Everyone, men included, ran towards Kou, and within minutes, Kou was forced against the stone column, for everyone was taking pictures of the popstar, asking for his autograph and tickets to his next concert. Kou did his best to smile and act seductively and sweetly with his fans, but Sakura knew he wanted to kill her. He wasn't done, though. He would definitely show her, take revenge on her for putting him in this predicament.

The whole cafeteria was now crowded with people at its fullest, so it would make his revenge way easier to take. He took Sakura by the waist and pulled her close to his body, pressing her head against his chest even though she protested.

''Kou! Who is this girl! ''Asked a girl that was behind a few other girls who stood in front of Kou, offering their phone numbers. Everything went as expected, and so Kou replied.

''She is my fiancé, and I shall not be unfaithful to her by taking any more phone numbers, girls! Sorry!'' He winked at Sakura, who just stood, her body pressed against his body, her neck red and hot with embarrassment. What was this idiot doing! This wouldn't look good on her if her stepdad found out! People would pay more attention to her, and Yui would not go unnoticed by the Sakamaki brothers! But even as these practical reasons passed through her mind, the only one she was trying hard not to think about was the one that said, ''Nah, you just don't like the fakeness of it, sweetie, you just wish it were real, don't you?'' Gawd, how she hated that voice inside her head.

''Please, make way! We have several dates to attend together!'' Yelled Kou happily, while he made his way with Sakura through the crowd she had attracted as a diversion to help Yui and Cordelia escape. Surely Cordelia would protect Yui. But who would protect Sakura? This guy's hatred for royals didn't seem to reach any limits. He was capable of anything, despite his innocent looks. Sakura was too shocked to push him away, his warm breath on her neck and ear was so distracting, she couldn't focus on creating any more diversions to escape alone and meet Yui and Cordelia.

Kou just kept on leading her through the crowd, faking smiles at the disappointed girls who said things like, ''Call me if you dump her!'' ''I could please you better!'' and ''Just leave her!''

When they exited the cafeteria, Kou pulled Sakura by the hand and led her through many hallways, until they stopped inside a room, where Kou closed the door behind him. Sakura just stood there, panting and blushing fiercely.

''Sakura, you didn't have to do that. You know how much fans annoy me!'' Kou said, though he didn't seem as angry as Sakura had expected him to be. ''Now, tell me, who were those girls you were with? The blonde one was cute…how come you didn't introduce us?'' He purred seductively in Sakura's ear, who jumped at this action and backed up, away from him. Kou just kept coming closer and closer though. ''I-I didn't want you to do anything to her!''

''What?'' Kou laughed. ''What would I do?''

''Don't fake it! You're just like Laito in the end.'' Sakura said, remembering all the times her stepbrother had tried to sleep with her.

''Ouch, I'm deeply hurt.'' Kou said mockingly, placing a hand upon his chest, where his heart was. ''However, since you didn't want me to do anything to her, does that mean you want me to do it with you?'' He said in a low voice. ''We are alone, you know. Nobody would have to know, after all, it's normal I'd want to do it with my fiancé, isn't it?''

''SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU ARE SO GROSS-!'' Sakura got pushed against the wall by Kou, who pinned her arms against it when she tried to hit him. His knee was placed between her legs, and his face was extremely close.

''Calling your future husband gross? I see, seems like I'll have to punish you.'' He smirked and sank his fangs into her ear, causing her to shriek in pain.

''Y-You…..AREN'T-''

''-Your future husband? Ahh, but you are my future bride.'' Kou grinned at her expression, red with embarrassment. ''And so I have the right to do this-'' He whispered before pressing his forehead against hers and hugging her tightly. His hands ran up and down her back, his eyes stared into hers intensely, and before she knew it, Kou's lips were brushing hers. He was kissing her, and Sakura didn't understand why, but she went along with it for Yui's sake. This couldn't be happening. How would Sakura deny afterwards that it had been her who kissed him back passionately, that it had been her knee that had been placed between the male's legs? Her who had wrapped her hands around his neck; her who had allowed him to drink her blood. How would she explain her reasons?

Kou bit her lips and caused her to gasp, and he took this chance to slip his tongue inside her mouth, while he explored every inch of it. Kou couldn't help but want more of the royal. He would definitely show her whom she messed with. Though Kou knew it was stupid to take such revenge on her for creating a crowd around him, he needed a reason, any reason, to explain why he pushed her onto the bed and ripped her blouse open, why he kissed her chest and got aroused by her moans, why he ached to be touched and caressed by her as he stripped himself completely, then sat on top of her and ran his hands up and down her thigh while kissing her so deeply he could barely breathe.

Sakura thought she was doing it for Yui's sake, while Kou thought he was doing it to get revenge on her. However, Sakura finally became alert and pushed Kou gently, off of her, and when he refused to stand up from her lap, harder onto the floor. ''I-I can't do this.'' She whispered. She covered her chest and turned her back to him. What had that been about? All of it had occurred in the space of literally five minutes. But she couldn't take it. No. She wouldn't get tempted to sleep with a lowlife like him. She re-adjusted her skirt, took off the remains of the ripped blouse, and zipped completely her black jacket. She walked away, but Kou's arm got in her way when he placed it across the doorway, he was still naked, so Sakura turned away. ''I'm sorry, it's just…I get like this when the moon's full. I didn't mean to offend you…''

Sakura just shrugged and slapped his arm, exiting the room without bothering to close the door, or even turning around. She hoped all of it had been a dream. She also hoped Cordelia had taken Yui out of the city. The rule is: where you can find one Mukami you can always find a second, a third, and a fourth. That being said, Sakura needed to get out quickly, and follow Cordelia and Yui wherever they had gone.

As the cold air enveloped her legs, Sakura made an effort to run to the train station in her high heels. Unfortunately, Kou wasn't done with her. He followed quietly and stealthily, knowing that in the end, he would go home with two slaves. One of them a royal who underestimated him. She had dared reject him? She wouldn't be able to once he claimed her his. Oh, he would show her.

Author's note

Ok, so I really wanted to update this part but I didn't really intend for it to turn out like this. Just thought I should show the ''hot'' side of Kou, even though this is his first impression. Anyways, just wanted to explain that he acted this way towards Sakura because of a bet he made with his brothers, ok? So don't be so harsh on me, please... Anyways, sorry I took so long to post anything ''romantic''. I'll be writing soon enough!
