"Man, why did we have to do this at night? I hate how dark these streets are nowadays..." I used to think nothing of it, but now I know exactly what lives in the dark.

No, the truth is that I always knew, I just never truly realized the scope of destruction that monsters could cause. It's still crazy to think that someone like Vlov can wipe out cities, and that there are many things scarier than him out there.

Rika chuckles. "Hey don't get too scared now, you're gonna have to get used to dark places. I mean we joined the church after all." That's true, but there's something different about going to a place knowing there will be an attack, and the uncertainty of just walking around.

Rika continues. "Besides, someone had to go and get the twins stuff." Yeah, but I wanted to force my slave (Shiki) to do it instead of me! But I decided to let him stay in the mansion with his sister instead.

I mean, it's not like I need his help anyways, I'm just carrying a few bags of clothing. In the end I'm just complaining for the sake of complaining, a right that every human being should have!

I smile. "Man, I really wanna mess with their panties..." Ah, I couldn't help, but state the true reason why I am struggling. Every step I take is a moment I could have spents messing with a girl's underwear instead.

Well normally I'm not the sort of guy who goes around perving on panties or anything, but this is a special occasion where I'm carrying many of them! Besides, I didn't even get to touch back in the mansion, instead I had to ask Rika to collect them.

I didn't even get to see them, since Rika told me to cover my eyes! Okay, I actually got to see one, by sneaking a peek! I'm pretty sure one of the twins has a panty with a little bear on it!

Rika sighs. "You're becoming so perverted Yuta, the girls around you are really corrupting you." No, I was always this perverted! So is more like I'm the one corrupting people! "It's kind of frustrating that we don't get to mess around with each other anymore, since we're living on Rabbit's house."

I feel the same, but I don't want to be an asshole who has sex in other people's houses. Specially since Senpai is an innocent church girl, and definitely not a masochistic who has felt my boner in her ass before...

I give Rika a side look. "Hey, wanna do it? We could go behind a tree or something." Currently we are walking through that famous park after all, the one where Rika and I first fought Arcueid.

Rika blushes. "W-wow, doing in public!? That sounds exciting!" I'd knew you would understand! "But we can't, since Bimbocueid is watching us... That would be way to embarrassing." Right, sometimes I forget I'm being watched literally all the time, man lesser people would have gone crazy from this...

Rika then grits her teeth. "Besides, knowing Bimbocueid, she would definitely have asked to join once we started." That sounds super hot though, so I would be down for it! Banging a queen and a princess, life's true goal.

Arcueid suddenly appears behind us. "Join what?" I almost jump in surprise, but Rika doesn't even flinch. I guess Arcueid's speed must have not surprised someone like her, while for me it looked like Arcueid just teleported.

Rika glares at her. "Nothing, it's none of your business Bimbocueid." She sighs. "Just the thought of you doing that sends shivers down my spine." Do you even have a spine? If you do, that's news to me!

Arcueid pouts. "Geez Rika, you're always so mean to me! I didn't do anything wrong." You did rip out Ciel's spine that one time, but we just kind of all forgave you for one reason or another. It's the power of being cute I guess... and the fact Ciel is immortal.

Rika shrugs. "You deserve it! In fact, you should be glad I haven't raised greater objections over you dating Yuta!" I'm surprised you are even willing to admit that Arcueid and I are dating.

Arcueid giggles. "Thanks then!" She then looks at me. "B-by the way Yuta, when is our date happening? I mean we talked about it like super along ago, but we never went."

She continues, blushing. "I mean, we need to go on that date soon! To expand our horizons... We haven't even kissed yet." Suddenly her expression turns into a frown. "Even if that might be a good thing." Huh? Why?

I make a shocked face. "Why is kissing me a bad thing...? Do I have bad breath or something!?" What a nightmare! That's the sort of thing that ruins someone's harem career.

Arcueid puts her hands up. "Not at all!" Oh thank goodness! "I-it's just that I don't think I would be able to control myself..." Is this a pervert thing? Are you saying you're gonna jump immediately into sex if that happens!?

No, for some reason I feel like that isn't right at all. There's something deeper in here, and I have to look for it. Failing that, then I must at least reassure Arcueid, that's my duty as her boyfriend.

I pat her head. "Don't worry Arcueid, whatever problem you have, we will handle it eventually." I smile. "And about the date...? Tomorrow I don't have school tomorrow, let's just go then." After my usual morning training with Senpai, of course.

Arcueid smiles, even if it's weak. "Okay..." Yeah I definitely need to learn what's wrong with her, Arcueid smile is supposed to be excited and full of energy, not sad like this!

Rika sighs. "Geez, just tell us what's wrong already Bimbocueid." Surprisingly enough, the person who questions Arcueid first is not me, instead Rika takes the lead.

Arcueid looks down. "It's complicated... Hey, I have a question for you guys, if you two don't mind." I have a feeling your question will be directly involved with your problem, so I'll do my best to answer it.

I give her a thumbs up. "Sure, lay it on me Arcueid." I'm glad the vampire is feeling comfortable enough to talk with us about her problems like this, even if she's going at with a weird angle.

Rika nods. "I'll listen to what you have to say as well, since you gave Yuta that gift all those days ago." Right, I completely forgot that, later on I have to ask Rika what she meant by that.

Arcueid sighs. "Thanks... So how do you two deal with temptation?" So it was a sexual problem all along!? "And not just the perverted kind, Yuta." She read me like a book!

Okay, time to get into serious mode, my girlfriend needs me, so I have to take my mind out of the gutter. Or in this case Kohaku's and Hisui's panties.

I make a concentrated face. "I guess it's a mix of a bunch of things...? There's morals, and there's risks and rewards, kinda like gambling. Except way more easier to predict, so much better."

I need an example. "Like, let's say I want to rob a bank. First there's morals, everyone my whole life has taught me that doing so is wrong, so I would feel bad about doing it. I have enough intelligence to recognize I have been nurtured into not liking it, and so if I did it I would regret it."

I continue. "And then there's the second part, risk and reward. Robbing a bank means getting pursued by authorities, possibly even arrested, and just for a little bit of money too. So I wouldn't do it unless I was desperate... I might cheat on a video game though, since the consequences are lower."

Rika shakes her head. "That's not the answer she wants Yuta. You're being way too... Four Eyes about it." What's wrong with that!? Senpai is great. "This needs a touch of Sensei." I see, that's much harder to emulate though...

Rika looks at Arcueid. "Basically this, if you act stupid Yuta will get sad... I will get sad. So don't act Stupid, ask us for help when you need it okay?" Ah, Sensei shounen powers! They're blinding!

Arcueid nods with a smile. "Okay then!" She looks at me, her expression is back to normal. "I'm really looking forward to that date now Yuta! And I won't act stupid either!" That might just be impossible for you.

I give her a thumbs up. "Feel free to do that. I'll come up with something good for you and Rika." It needs to be a place where Rika and I can chat without normal people freaking out. Maybe we can go hiking!? That's always fun.

Rika shakes her head. "Actually, I won't be going Yuta. So you don't need to worry about me, just take Bimbocueid to an amusement park or something." No way.

Arcueid gives her a shocked look. "F-for real!? You're letting me be alone with Yuta!? For like an entire day!?" Yeah, and I don't exactly understand why, which naturally worries me.

I frown. "Hey Rika? You can definitely go if you want, no, I actually insist you go." Normally I would be happy with Rika giving me some privacy, but definitely not like this.

Rika blushes. "Oh! You're acting all dominant like Yuta~!" It's way too embarrassing when you say that! "But I still won't go, sorry." That's...!

She continues, before I can object. "Don't worry, It's not because I'm feeling inferior to Bimbocueid or anything like that. I'm way cuter and smarter than her." That is true..

Wait, I don't have a favorite! Definitely!

Rika looks at Arcueid. "It's just that I feel like you two should have a moment alone, those are important too... So don't worry, I'll just bother Rabbit for the day or something, I won't spend the entire day waiting for you two." T-that's fine then...?

I'm just surprised you're willing to let me hang out with Arcueid alone, that's all. But I guess it's because princess over here just had some weird talk about temptation? I guess Rika is friends with Arcueid, even if she tries to deny it.

Arcueid gives Rika a big smile. "Thanks Rika! Though I would also be super happy of if you followed us as well, since you're the best!" Me too, but I won't be against a normal date either.

Rika nods. "Yes, praise me to your hearts content Bimbocueid! Though I want to warn you two of something... While I won't be mad if two kiss or whatever, I want to hear about it after the date."

She crosses her arms. "If you guys did something perverted and I found out about it later I would be mad. So you two better be honest! That's the most important thing in something like what Yuta is trying to build!" W-wow, you're being surprisingly mature!

Arcueid blushes. "K-kissing huh? And perverted stuff... like Yuta pinching my butt. All. Day. That sounds super great!" I really trained you to be a perverted with so few butt pinches!?

Though to be honest, I feel like Arcueid really copies her environment...? I don't know if that's the right word for it, but she's easily influenced by small things. Be it my butt pinches, her talk with Sensei, or even tonight's discussion. It reminds me of that time she talked about being like Kohaku.

An empty doll huh? Yeah, when I first met Arcueid she certainly looked like one. With a perfectly beautiful and yet empty expression, one a guy could fall in love with, but only if he was a freak. This Arcueid is so much better, there's no comparison.

Why do I feel like I just made a mortal enemy!? Eh, whatever, I'm totally fine with having as many mortal enemies as I the world wants to throw at me. I will never go back in my Arcueid loving opinion!

Arcueid suddenly pokes the bag I'm carrying. "By the way, what's pumping so much mana from this bag?" Panties with mana!? They're that powerful!? Well, not really.

I smirk. "It's a super cool cursed katana!" And then that smirk disappears. "That doesn't belong to me... It's Hisui's." She's apparently a sword nerd, which is kind of cute.

I motion to the bag. "Basically I decided to bring at least something that wasn't clothing, so Hisui and Kohaku would feel more comfortable. Finding something for Kohaku was easy, I just brought her 3DS and some games..." And man, she had so god damn many... Kohaku do be gaming, I guess.

I continue. "Finding something for Hisui was pretty difficult though, apparently she's a super workaholic usually, but then Akiha said she loves this one, and just kinda gave it to me."

It could be a trap devised by Akiha of course, but my mind refuses to accept that girl would ever do something like that. Shiki agreed with me, and I believe even he wouldn't let the bias of Akiha being his sister blind him in this situation.

Rika giggles. "It's pretty funny to imagine that girl swinging a sword around. She definitely doesn't have the build for it." Well according to Akiha, she just took care of the swords, she didn't actually train with them.

And besides, I'm sure she must have some sort of talent, she comes from a demon hunting family after all. The same applies to Kohaku, and she practices martial arts for example.

Arcueid tilts her head. "Speaking of my soul daughters..." You didn't adopt them! So shut up! "When are they getting their documents? If the church takes too much time to do it, I could help..."

I shrug. "Senpai said they would be enrolled in school by monday, so it's going pretty fast." And I just know they will introduce themselves as my younger sisters, even though they will all be third years. "The houses will take more time though."

I continue. "But that's mostly because Senpai and I are taking care in finding good ones, both for me and for them." I sigh. "Worst case scenario we can just buy land and build one, I guess." But that would take even more time...

I want a big old style mansion damn it! But apparently the Tohno's are like the only old money family around here, and it's not like Akiha is willing to sell me her house. Not that I would buy that place for the twins or for me though. Because I know bad stuff happened on it, it's full of horrible memories and all that.

Arcueid crosses her arms and adopts a smug looks. "Well, if you three get tired of that hag Ciel..." You're the hag here! "You can all just live in my mansion! I'll have you know it's like half the size of this city, so it has plenty of space." That's scary!

I sigh. "I'll pass for now, but thanks for the offer... Where even is your mansion anyways? It's definitely not on Japan." Which would make living in there even more complicated.

Arcueid raises a hand and points up. "It's there! Pretty close right?" Why are you just pointing up? Is this a new method to troll me? Because it's a weird one.

Both Rika and I look to where she's pointing, I immediately gasp, and Rika puts what I'm feeling into words. "Bimbocueid! Do you live in the freaking moon!? How do you even get there!?" How is that close!?

Arcueid nods. "Yep, and I can just summon with my Marble Phantasm... It's that thing I used to throw lava and ice at you that one time Rika." How is that power related to the fucking Moon castle!?

Arcueid begins explaining. "Basically, a Marble Phantasm allows me to replicate natural phenomena, like creating lava, or throwing meteors at people, it's pretty useful."

She continues. "This power is shared by all True Ancestors, but I'm a special case, that's because I'm the successor of Type-Moon... An alien from, well, the moon."

I step back in shock. "You're an alien from the moon!? That's so damn cool!" And retarded! Mostly retarded! But I won't hurt Arcueid's feelings by telling her that.

Rika looks up at the moon in shock. "So Bimbocueid is an alien huh? I wonder if all aliens are trashy perverts like her, or if she's unique... I don't want to make all aliens my enemy." That's what you're focusing on!?

Arcueid giggles. "I'm glad you two are taking this in stride..." She then shakes her head. "But whatever, here Yuta! Copy me! And make sure you don't aim at my Mystic Eyes, since they're way less important than my Marble Phantasm." She extends a hand.

I raise an eyebrow. "I appreciate the sentiment...? But I have no idea how to copy someone's powers." Well, Rika probably copied Vlov by eating his arm, but I don't want to do that to Arcueid.

Rika shrugs. "Besides we already got your power Bimbocueid." We did!? When though!? Don't tell me it was the gift thingy... It's definitely the gift thingy, as usual Rika is surprisingly secretive about my power. I don't think it's even maliciously, she just genuinely doesn't care about it.

Arcueid gasps. "Wow, I didn't even notice it! How did you guys copy me! I thought for sure you had to consume my DNA or something, like the spider!" That's what Vlov would indicate, but Rika certainly didn't bite Shiki or Sensei. Also what spider!?

I nod. "I'm also super curious Rika, please explain to me, as best as you can." I'd doubt she fully knows how it works, but I would like her insight.

Rika shrugs. "Eh, it's just the same as usual, Bimbocueid really liked Yuta, so she gifted him. I can eat people to get their abilities too, but that's gift stealing." So I copied Vlov's ability by force? While Arcueid wasn't?

I put a hand on my chin. "Hey Rika, could you explain exactly the moments where I got my abilities? That might help with Arcueid and I understanding it."

Rika nods. "Okay! So first we got Four Eyes's power when he confessed he felt unloved, and you told him you were his best friend and loved him, all the way back when we were kids." Ah! that's so damn embarrassing!

Rika continues, ignoring my blush. "After that we got Sensei's power, it was when you told her that one day you would marry her. And then she start whispering about kidnapping..." An even more embarrassing story then the one Shiki!

Rika smiles. "Ths third ability we copied was the vampire one, when we bit him. After that was Bimbocueid's once she said we were her best friends." I see, so it's definitely tied to relationships... I'm a Persona protagonist. Wow. I want a Velvet Room, now.

Before Arcueid and I can start our discussion about this new discovery, Rika continues. "And then we got-" Wait just a minute!

I interrupt her. "We got more abilities!? When though!?" Arcueid quickly nods, she's just as confused as me... I guess maybe we got it from the twins...?

Rika nods. "Yep! We got three more, kind of two! First when you took Hisui out of the mansion she gave you an ability..." That makes sense...? "The force of the insertion was super surprising..." That sounds perverted!

I blush. "What does that even mean Rika!? Seriously!" Did Hisui's magic futa cock penetrate her!? Please tell me it was just bad wording!

Rika shrugs. "It's just that the power gets shoved in me with various amounts of force, it depends on how much a person likes you Yuta. And if they don't like you enough, I can't copy it..."

Rika raises a finger. "I used to think Arcueid's force was scary already, but then Hisui completely crushed that. It's like the moment we stepped foot out of the mansion she hit me with a nuke." That's... more sad than anything else.

I clech my fists. "That's fucked up... Seriously, fuck Akiha's father." That piece of shit, if he wasn't dead I would kill him... I'm just glad Shiki came out mostly fine.

Rika giggles. "You're always helping people when it comes to this huh? Just like me, in a way." Right, Rika also had a bad situation, though it was less her father, and more her grandmother.

Rika continues. "Anyways, after that it was Kohaku who gave you her gift, though she has the same power as Hisui, so it doesn't matter." I'm surprised it happened after Hisui to be honest. "She gave you one after you told her she wasn't a doll, because she liked video games." Oh.

Then Rika smiles. "Rabbit also gave you one, though it didn't have as much force as the others. It was when you started making excuses about why you saved the twins." That's way too damn embarrassing as well, really Senpai!?

Arcueid finally speaks up. "What curious way of getting more power, it makes me wonder what your origin is Yuta." She then giggles. "Though it's definently something super ultra embarrassing like true love." I want to punch Arcueid now for some reason.

She then shakes her head. "But it doesn't matter, I want to test something. Hey Yuta could you use my power?" I'm fine with that, though I have no experience with it.

I nod. "Okay! Anything for my girlfriend!" Then I look at Rika. "Please pass me Arcueid's items, whatever it is." Hopefully it doesn't get stuck to me like the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

Rika smirks. "Sure, but it's embarrassing as hell, actually all items except for Rabbit's are." For real!? "Rabbit is a cape by the way, and the twins gave you an engagement ring each." You're right! That is super embarrassing!

Rika takes off something from her body and puts it in my head. "This is definitely the most embarrassing one though, a crown and it's all shiny too." Damn it Arcueid.

I look at the vampire with a blush. "Seriously!? Couldn't you have given me something more normal!?" Like a sword! Or a shield! Or a decent Pokémon game!

Arcueid suddenly appears in front of me. "Ignore that for now Yuta! Because I was so right!" She has stars in her eyes. "Your Marble Phantasm is qualified to summon my castle...!" That's cool? I guess?

Arcueid hugs me with surprising strength. "That means we're related now!" Eh!? "From now on call me big sister! Even on our date! Specially on our date!"

"Why do I keep getting new siblings!? Is it because I barely talk with mine!?"

AN: Now I'm gonna start delivering on some old promises, and start exploring Arcueid's bloodthirsty nature more... Roa is coming after all, and I plan on having him be way more interested in Yuta than most people think.

By the way, if you haven't listened to this song yet, please do so, because it will definitely be playing in my head during the inevitable Roa fight! Man, Melty Blood is so fucking good.

Ah, and another thing, Arcueid joked around with Yuta's origin, and I might as well confirm it, it's true love. Heh.

For a long time I had nothing in mind, and so I always just jokingly said Neko Arc, but I felt like this one would fit the best. I don't think I need to explain how it affects Yuta, since it's fairly obvious. Also title drops.
