Diabolik lovers the Eve

♙Chapter 18♙

A/N~ this may be a long chapter, I hope you enjoy it!

Sakiko grunted as she went on her knees, clutching her right abdomen as a small painful gasp escaped her mouth. Her left eye was shut closed while her right was barely able to stay open. "Sakiko." Kou whispered as he placed a hand on her shoulder. He gave her a worried look as Sakiko stared at him and gave him a dry smile. She knew that this would happen. Someday. Ever since her interaction with Ayato at the hall to protect Yui. But this consequence was unbearable, having Kou worry over her so much as if he pitied her, that's something she never wanted. Not after all these years. Was it possible that he actually cared or just wanted to prove to the Sakamaki that he can get back what belongs to him? If anything her hope and trust stays with Kou. "My, my Yui you have become.... What's the word?" Yui's father broke the silence as his daughters attention still stuck on him as he rubbed his chin and shut his eyes close trying to think. He snapped his fingers and pointed at Yui as a smile that spread ear to ear appeared on his face as if the situation of his daughter was humorous. "You have become impure. What a bad child you have become, what will the nuns think if they ever saw you?" He asked as if insulting her. She knew very well this man, this person she once called 'father' with feelings sold her off to these six sick sadistic vampires. Everyday dreading, wishing to be a normal girl again. But that was taken away from her so many months ago. Yui broke the stare as she averted her eyes to the side only to see a Sakiko holding on to her dear life. Her father's once playful smile quickly disappeared and plastered a serious yet threatening look. He lock a gaze with Reji. "You don't expect me to buy such girl with so many injuries on her do you?" Reji's eyebrows furrowed together as he had an irritated look on his face, He crossed his arms over his chest as he pushed his glasses upward the bridge of his nose. "Of course none of this would have happened if we knew where your daughter was." Reji broke the stare quickly to glance at Yui who obviously was not looking in their direction. Letting out a grunt he went and looked back at the father. Sakiko's breathing became lighter as her struggle to stay awake weakened. "Look at her. She is struggling to keep her own eyes open. I said a good condition. The deal is off. Definitely. This can't and won't do." A lump started to form in Sakiko's throat as she wasn't able to swallow it away. Her knees began to tremble as Kou noticed the change. He quickly reacted by swooping her up and carrying her up bridal style. A trail of blood streamed down from Sakiko's forehead and down to her cheek. Kou brought his thumb and wiped the thick blood away, leaving a dry trail of blood in its place. He lowered his head making eye contact with her only weak opened eye making his porcelain pale skin blurry. He planted a kiss on her forehead. As he looked at the father. "She isn't going away, and she definitely is not going to be sold off... especially not to you." He spat the words out as if he wanted to claw him away, his Sakiko is staying by him. She is never leaving his side. The father faced Kou, looking him up and down as if he was a mosque piece of art. He stopped as he locked gazes if him "Don't worry Blondie. You can keep her, I don't want a dying person anyway." Kou is once look of hatred washed off to worry and concern as he looked at Sakiko again her eye still opened her chest still going up and down breathing.

"She isn't going to die." He whispered but loud enough for them to hear. The man neared Kou as he placed a hand on his shoulder, but lowered his gaze. "Worry not child, a man like you I'm sure she won't. But then again. Check her I also wouldn't be too sure." Without looking at Kou is shocked expression the priest A.K.A Yui is dad left without speaking of the matter any further. He stopped in his tracks before leaving outside and looked over his shoulders at Yui directly. "I do not regret my decision." And with that he left, he left her, he left her world. He abandoned the person she once loved as a father. She gulped down a hard lump in her throat as if a thousand needles stabbed her heart.

"Reji, with no tricks up your sleeve I demand that you fix up Sakiko, so long as she is actually able to breathe normally and close both eyes without worrying." Ruki's voice rang inside Sakiko's ears as if an angel made a request to give her second chance. But her true hero was Yui. Without her she would have been six feet under. Kou would have been heart broken. Everyone she loved would be shut out with nothing but darkness. The interaction with her at the hallway was the best decision she ever made.

Letting out a 'tsk' Reji didn't argue the matter any further as he beckoned at Kou to follow him. "Very well, but she will not rest hear." He hissed.

"Not like she would have been comfortable." Kou shot back. Receiving a glare from Reji over his shoulder. He brushed it off as he continued to follow Reji.

An hour or so later has passed ever since Kou, Sakiko and Reji left. Soon enough in a blink of an eye Kou appeared out of nowhere with a somewhat healthy looking Sakiko, better condition, but still pretty bruised up. Still unable to walk for a few hours Sakiko laid comfortably in Kou's open warming arms. No one said a word to Yui after what has happened. But deep down inside, she felt upset. As is her own world was turning against her. Her elbows plopped on her knees where her fingers entwined at the top. She looked down at her feet deep in thought. Replaying the whole day over and over in her mind. Not accepting any of this fact. But this was the true reality. If there was a god, he would have stopped this from happening. All of it, but of course no such thing happened. Kou gave a glance at Ruki and to which he quickly stood up followed by Azusa and Yuma. They stayed there for a bit giving death stares at the Five Sakamaki still in the living room. At least four of them were paying attention while Shuu snoozed off. Without a word the four including Sakiko, five left the mansion as they got in the limo and rode in silence. Ruki mostly reading his Edgar Allen Poe poems, Azusa messing around with his scars. And Yuma taking a small nap joining Sakiko. Kou stared at Sakiko's many small bandages on her face as he brought his finger tips and slightly brushed her face. He had a worried look, unable to forgive himself. He felt like hugging her and deeply apologizing to how careless he was how useless he has become. But for right now he must wait. Wait until she wakes up. The limo halted to a stop as everyone snapped out of their own thing except Sakiko still in a deep snooze. They each got out of the limo and on to the hard pavement of the Mukami entrance. The cold night breeze hit their faces as they walked inside their homes. Ruki suggested that Kou takes Sakiko to her room and let her rest. Yuma and Azusa left doing their own thing.

"Ne, Ruki-san. Thank you... for telling Reji to fix Sakiko." Kou spilled out, out of nowhere. Making Ruki look over his shoulder and have a small smile on his face. As he nodded and disappeared. Kou climbed the steep of stairs, clutching to Sakiko's sides afraid she might fall. Afraid she might leave him. Once he reached her room, he looked around her purple bright room, full of life. When was last time he visited her room? He reached the bed as he pulled the purple covers and placed her fragile body on the bed. He pulled the covers over her as he went and grabbed a chair from behind him and pulled it closer to her bed. He sat on it as his emotions spilled at from him. Tears began to stream down his eyes as he held her hand and nuzzled it to his cheek. "I'm...sorry." He whispered. "I'm, sorry Sakiko. Please...please forgive me." Her hand twitched as she placed her hand on his cheek while it was still being held. Her eyes twitched open as she looked at Kou. "Don't worry Kou, you didn't do anything wrong." Her voice went dry as her eyes looked for his. "But it was my fault." Kou whispered as his tears went on the back of her hand. "If you keep blaming yourself Kou I'll get sad." Sakiko warned, Kou gulped and wiped away his tears. "Sakiko, I love you." He said as he looked at her.

"Kou, I love you too." He didn't need to use his red eye to see her speaking the truth. His hovered over hers as he leaned in and planted a kiss that warmed her body.
