I hate that I love you [Diabolik Love story]

Book Three: 6

Hearing the words from Ember made him frown a bit. He never would have thought that Serena would go as far as killing herself cause of his stupidity, let alone their child. "So is that also the reason behind the change of her hair's length?"

"Mhm, she had it cut so she'd be a different person...well it worked." Ember said with a nod before she read through a book.

When she was done reading she spoke in a language he didn't know before things began to spin around and Kanato woke up in the graveyard with his Teddy. He didn't understand what happened, why he was there or how he had ended up in the graveyard in front of his mother's grave. But he got up and brushed himself off before he went to the house only to smell someone in the house he hadn't smelled before.

He followed his nose to the living room only to see that the rest of his brother's were there as well. He saw a young brunette female with brown eyes eyes sitting there emotionless looking fairly unamuse by what was going on around her. Reiji was talking with her when he finally got into the room.

When she spoke it placed shivers down his spine. "I assure you that things aren't like that at all, I was told by the man who looks after me that I was to live here. Surely an elder that you know of can bring a bit of light on that slight problem."

"Shu has he tried to contact you yet?" Reiji asked Shu

"He had said something about a female coming here and that she was not to be killed, that she was highly important within the demon world."

"Demon world...You aren't human?" Kanato asked curiously

"No, would I be calm like this if I was one?" She asked looking to him

When he saw her face his head began to hurt, he had no idea why it did but he didn't like it one bit. He hid it though as he looked to her. "You have a point, tell me...What's your name?"

"My name is Serena Sakata." She said with no expression on her face

Kanato looked to her a bit more, he thought there was something off about her but he had no idea what though. He went with what he knew for now. "So...just what exactly are you if you're not a human?"

Serena's eyes closed as she placed her hand out flatly before she was able to make fire, water and petals come out of her hand. "I'm an elemental princess demoness, the man who looks after me said that for me to know whom my father and mother are I must go through a trial, this is the last part of it."

"And what the hell are you to do here?" Subaru asked unamuse

"Marry one of you boys of course, one of you will be the one to rule beside me." She said before she slipped an envelope from her pocket and handed it to Reiji. "Since you seem to be the one who is organizing everything here, I give this to you by my caretaker."

He opened it without a second thought as he read it quietly to himself before he looked to her. "Fair enough, this clears up everything Serena, come this way. I assure you that your stay here will be as pleasant as it can be, just keep in mind that we all have been dealing with a human female who is here currently." Reiji said as he motioned for her to follow him out of the room and into the hall

"I see...Then I would like to meet this human girl if its alright with you Reiji." Serena said as she followed him down the hall with her hands together in front of her

Reiji stopped walking in the middle of the hallway and looked to her curiously. "Your manners are better than any woman that has ever stepped foot into this house, tell me...just what are you planning to do here?"

"Get my memories back, I cannot go to where I am to be without them."

"Very well, they will know sooner or later that you are bluffing. Even if you change your last name Kanato for sure will remember you soon enough." Reiji said looking to her

"I know...that's what I'm hoping for. If I can get Kanato to see through it all he and I can go back."

"And Subaru? He's bound to find out as well."

Serena sighed as she closed her eyes. "I don't know, lets see how things go. Its free range so please if you ever feel anything around me. Don't hesitate, I won't break so easily as many may think I will. Just cause I'm female and look fragile doesn't mean that I am"

Reiji gave her nod of understanding before the two of them walked off again, not far from where they were Kanato listened in to what was said. He didn't understand what was going on, what exactly was in that letter. How come Reiji and her were talking so formal for? Did they know each other from somewhere?

He walked a bit behind them and stopped and hid as he saw Reiji taking her to one of the free rooms, once Serena was alone he went into her room to see her lying down. "You were so informal with my elder brother, why is that?"

"Hello Kanato dear, nice to see you too." She said tiredly before she looked to him. "I talk so informal to your elder brother because you my dear have gone through much as well as your younger brother Subaru. You see...this isn't the first time we've met."

He moved closer to her and sat beside her. "I get that feeling too, but...I just can't place why I don't remember you. Your cold stare gives me pleasurable shivers down my back, the way you talk does the same but turns me off to you. Do you know why?"

She chuckles a bit as she moves herself so she was on top of Kanato sitting on his lap. "You feel that way cause you are the closest one to me Kanato Sakamaki. You should know me better than anyone. I want you to know that until you've learned everything about me my blood is off limits to you. I'll be asking a series of questions to you and only you can answer them correctly cause only you my dear know them."

"Ask me anything I'll get it right, I know I will."

She giggled a bit and kissed his forehead softly. "How old was I when we got together?"

"Seventeen."

"Good. What am I actually?"

"A witch, a good one at that. you know a lot of magic, you fooled me many times with it."

"What was one time I did."

"That horrible joke with your double ganger making me puke out blood when I treated you badly after our first date."

"What happened to us after we graduated high school?"

"I got you pregnant with Eric Jr. but I wouldn't take the responsibility for it, so you ended up sending me back and almost dying if it wasn't for your aunt. She erased your memory after you had Eric Jr and had you try to forget me since you tried to kill yourself and our child since he looked just like the two of us. You couldn't stand having him around when it was just you and him." Kanato said as he pinned her down to the bed

She yelped out a bit as she blushed, she couldn't believe that just one sighting of her and he remembered everything.

"Where's our son Serena?"

She teared up as she looked to him sadly. "W-When Ember...When that bitch 'tried' to keep you where we were, she lied. She rewound time, she erased most of my memories and the things we did with one another as well as your memories fully. I was told...I was told by a powerful demon that our son...H-He's..." She said before she cried.

His eyes widen before he hugged her tightly. He knew that it mean that they were back to square one once more. He calmed her tears down as he sang to her, he refused to have her upset. When she was calm once more she snuggled against his chest. "Kanato...you'll be with me again...won't you?"

"Of course. None of my brother's are getting to you. But tell me what was in that letter?"

"Written in it was my true purpose here....to get you to remember our time together. That I was to get as friendly as I can with you. That my purpose is you, that I wasn't to be touched unless I wished it." She said with her eyes closed

"You aren't going to let anyone else touch you ...right?"

"Right, I'm yours."

He sighed in relief hearing her speak. Outside of the door Subaru heard everything, he knew he had to get Serena alone but didn't know how though.
