"This is the last stop on this train. Every one please leave the station, and get to your destination." The announcement was made and Yui, with Cordelia pulling her out of the subway car, made her way through the crowd of people who were exiting through the door at the same time, making it difficult for her to pass. Cordelia and Yui went up many staircases until they left the train station behind. "Wff..." Cordelia sighed, looking up at the sky and shielding her eyes from the bright sun. "I'll never get used to that so ever-shining start." She said, a frown forming on her pale face. Yui smiled, vampires really did hate the sun didn't they?
" Are we there yet, ?" Yui politely asked after she'd walked for hours with Cordelia holding on to her hand like a mother. "I'm afraid not. And, please, call me Cordelia. Nothing of 'Mrs.' because that's how people who know my ex-husband call me. The ones who don't know of our divorce, that is." Yui silently gasped in shock. She was divorced?
"I know, I know. But do not worry, Rose, I will get him back. To drown him, of course. The little idiot who let my foolish children murder me. But he'll see, he'll see..." Cordelia drifted off in thought as the memories came back to her of Ayato draining her of almost every drop of blood, Laito pushing her off a balcony, and Kanato burning her corpse. They were sick. Her children, the ones she had yearned to protect so much in the past from Karlheinz and his officials and ministers. But now, they were left to their terrible fate, one they were unfortunately oblivious of. All she could do was watch, and watch, and cry bitterly as her one true love discarded her children as if they were nothing but a burden. It would happen. Soon enough.
"I'm sorry... I didn't know of your marital status until now. I didn't mean to-" Yui started to apologize, but she was interrupted by a crushing sound. A limousine the length of a subway car went flying through the air, and when it landed, flames began to lick the surface and the interior of the vehicle. Yui screamed as flames licked her skin, too, and Cordelia, in a desperate attempt to extinguish the flames that were hungrily enveloping Yui's legs, took Yui in her arms and threw her on a nearby river. Big mistake, it was, though. Cordelia forgot the blonde could not swim until she saw Yui flailing her arms desperately and screaming out to her. Cordelia was in shock as memories of her son reaching out to her and calling her name came back and took over her consciousness.
Not so far away, though, there stood four figures hidden in the shadows. They heard a distressed female voice screaming and sobbing uncontrollably. The voice sounded so familiar, one of the figures moved and showed itself underneath the moonlight. A blonde male of blue eyes and stylish clothes frowned. "M-Neko chan?" He called. "M-Neko chan!" Running down a hill and jumping over to the other side of a stream of water with supernatural speed, he led the way as three other males trailed behind him, following the source of the voice.
" What Are you doing!? CORDELIA!" Sakura came running towards Cordelia only to slap her hard across the face. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!" Sakura didn't think twice and jumped into the river to begin moving her extremities furiously, fighting with the current to get to Yui, who kept screaming and crying. "I...I can-I can not swim Sakura-chan! I...I can-"
"Yui! Yui kick your legs! KICK YUI! DON'T GIVE UP! I'm almost there! Kick Yui!" Sakura yelled in a tired but desperate voice. She couldn't loose Yui. No, she told herself, she had lost too much already. Yui wouldn't be added to the list. Sakura kicked hard and fast, reaching out to Yui over and over again. But the current was too strong, Sakura was being pulled by it in the opposite direction, making it impossible to get hold of the blonde girl who kept yelling Sakura's name. But she wouldn't let nature take the only person whom she had left. With all the power she could muster, Sakura's hair glowed like the fire as she screamed and swam with supernatural speed towards Yui, catching up with her and almost reaching Yui's arm but a rock got in the way and Sakura had to evade it, which slowed her down significantly.
"NO!" Sakura yelled when she saw with crimson eyes as Yui approached the waterfall against her own will and Sakura made an effort to swim faster for Yui's sake. If Yui fell... She wouldn't survive the fall. No human would.
Farther away, four vampires watched in confusion as the blonde who had met with Sakura before, Kou, tired to recognize the girl who was almost drowning. When he saw Sakura, he knew whom the blonde female was and his eyes widened in horror when he saw she was almost at the edge of a 3-kilometer-high waterfall that would surely kill her before impact.
"M-Neko chan! Azusa it's M-Neko chan! Ruki, Yuma, M-Neko chan will die!" Kou desperately screamed to the vampires. Their eyes widened and Ruki frowned. "Eve? She's Eve!?" Kou had already jumped into the river as Ruki interrogated him though. "Tch... DON'T STAY THERE AZUSA!" Yuma yelled at the green-haired vampire as Ruki,too, ran to Yui's rescue.
"But won't Eve enjoy the pain, Justin?" Azusa asked his scar. " Do YOU want to become Adam, Azusa!?" Yuma desperately yelled. Azusa nodded his head vigorously, and Yuma said as he ran off, also," HOW WILL YOU DO THAT WITHOUT AND EVE, HUH!?" Azusa understood, and off he went, too.
Cordelia ran as quickly as she could along the edge of the river, she could see four vampires in the distance cornering Yui from the left side. She recognized them. Automatically on instinct, she teletransported herself next to Yui and clutched onto the girl's arms tightly, pulling her against the current. But she collided into a rock and the impact injured her head so that she let Yui go. "Cordelia! Cor- Ah!" Yui's head was underwater instantly once she had stopped kicking because of the shock. Cordelia would die...But she was a vampire so she wouldn't die of a cuncussion...right? Yui cried silently as she imagined Cordelia dying just to save her.
Yui kept flailing her arms and kicking the water with her legs, as the air left her lungs, and she could not see the person who reached out to her and pulled her into an embrace. But she saw a strand of long, red hair that made her know she was safe. Even as her legs gave way and the pit of her stomach indicated to her that she was falling. Hopefully she'd see her parents in heaven, though, she thought happily and closed her eyes before the impact she so much expected. But it never came. Instead, a rush of wind blew on her face, and Yui gasped as she took all the air she could inside of her lungs.
"H-HUH!How-" Yui saw Sakura's concentrated face as she clutched onto Yui tightly and landed softly with her on her arms. "S-Sakura! YOU were-" But Yui was interrupted when Sakura hugged her tightly and sobbed into Yui's hair. Another pair of hands enveloped them both, and Yui looked up to see a concerned Cordelia with eyes closed tightly and tears pouring down from her eyes like streams of transparent liquid. "I-I-" Cordelia started, but Yui interrupted her. "I know." She said as she hugged her with one arm and hugged Sakura with the other arm.
" M-Neko chan~" A seductive, husky voice spoke in the dark and all three females turned around. " Is Eve okay?" A green haired vampired asked. "Tch... How- bothersome can women be." An orange haired vampire commented. But the male who got Yui's attention had grey, stormy eyes and blue, ruffled, wild hair. Yui's eyes widened, and so did Sakura's.
"ALEX!?" They both screamed. The vampire with stormy eyes just kept on his calm gace, though.
"You know my brother, huh?" He asked, amused. His left eyebrow was raised. Yui looked at him confused. Brother? Alex had a brother?
