Diabolik Lovers

Chapter Three

Everyone except Yui and Shu was eating their dinner. Shu was asleep. I ate my meal quietly just like everyone else. Yui was just staring at her food like she was afraid it was poisoned.

"You haven't eaten very much Pancake." I looked up to see Laito beside Yui, smirking at her. "You need to eat properly like your sister or you could become anemic. Would you like me to feed you?"

"Laito!" Laito look over at his older brother, Reiji and glared at him with annoyance."It's bad manners to get to your feet during a meal."

"Yes sir," Laito said sarcastically. He looked back at Yui with a smile. "We'll continue this later, Pancake." Laito walked back to his seat and sat down. Then suddenly Shu got up from his seat. Yui and I looked at him.

"This is a pain." We watched him leave.

Reiji sighed with irritation. "That deadbeat . . . Nothing good can come of anyone who grows up spoiled rotten."

"Teddy, what would you like to eat next?" I looked over at Kanato who held his teddy bear in arms and looked down at his food. I'm starting to think that teddy must be important to him. I wonder why though. Did he got from someone he cared about? I couldn't help, but notice loneliness in Kanato's eyes.

"Let's have a banana snowball." Kanato grabbed his fork and tried to pick up his food with his fork, but it broke in half when he stabbed it. I saw a slight flash of sadness in his purple eyes, but was soon replaced with a sadistic one. He began stabbing his food, laughing crazed. Ayato, Laito, and his other brothers didn't seem to care about this in the slightest.

"He won't even make the effort to attend our monthly dinner party," Reiji said. "That will be all for today." All the brothers except for Reiji, got up and left the room. Yui and I got up as well.

"One moment you two." Yui and I stopped and look at Reiji. "Both of your table manners are deplorable. One of these days, I will take you aside and discipline you thoroughly. Understood?" Yui nodded and we left the room.

We walked in silence for a while. I was the one who broke it.

"I want to take my bath first," I said, heading to my room. I closed my door. I chose my favorite pajamas and neatly folded them up and turned around to see Ayato.

"What are you doing here?"

"I can do whatever I want," he said, smirking. "Now let me suck your blood." He stood.

"I'm about to take a bath," I said, heading to the door. He grabbed my arm and pulled me to him. "Ayato, stop."

"Be quiet," he said in my shoulder blade and he sucked. He wasn't biting. I gasped and dropped my clothes. It hurt. I could feel the pain, but only physically. "Hey, stop making it sound like it feels good . . . " He pulled back. "That pain you feel is my stamp mark." He leaned forward and landed on the top of my chest. "I'll stamp you here too." He did it again. "Feel more pain. More and more . . . " Finally he was done. "Go take your bath. Make it quick because if you make me wait . . . you know what will happen." He disappeared.

I picked up clothes up and hurried to the bathroom. I looked at the marks he made in the mirror. They were light red. I stared at myself in the mirror. I saw a beautiful young girl that was blank. No sadness, no anger, no happiness . . . blank, empty.

I heard something and looked over to the tub. Shu was lying in the tub, eyes closed and fully dressed. In the water. Why is it only me running into these guys?

"Shu?" I asked. With his eyes closed, he looked like someone I knew and loved. I dare no speak his name. Looking at Shu made my heart throb.

"Keep it down . . . Not so loud. I'm just having a bath, that's all," he said, eyes still closed.
