Diabolik Lovers Crack

The Ballroom party (Part 1)

Sight...I looked at my three hour work. The windows are shiny and clear, on the floor you could see your reflection. All is left to do is polishing the stairs. And it's really troublesome and annoying.
'So this is what Shu feels'
But this job must be done flawless. If I leave one spot of dirt, Reiji will tell me to clean everything all over again because he's a frikking perfectionist.....and also he hates me. But I guess I kinda agree with Reiji's logic at this point. If you're doing something, do it right. That teacups-dealer reminds me of Jiro. He isn't at that level of perfectionist but somewhere in the middle. Also Jiro tells me and my brother what to do and what not to do. Just like Reiji. It is annoying but my brother's advice are wise.
I face-palmed.
'Where was he five months ago when I decided to come here. He would have said that it's a bad idea and that letting persona loca like me would be stupidest thing on earth.....And the thing is, he's wouldn't be wrong'
While polishing stairs, I turned my head to the left. A light coming from hanging chandelier lit spacious ballroom. On the left side, in the distance on a platform stood big black piano. A large vases with red roses placed parallel to the wall.
'How many people will be here tomorrow ? A hundred? Two hundreds ? But one question is clear: there will be a lot of blood suckers walking around the mansion. I should start looking for a hiding place or take that maze with me'
As I was halfway through with stairs the familiar presence could be felt in the room.
"You know job won't be done faster if you only look" my gaze turned to the vampire standing on the top of the stairs. As always, Reiji fixed his glasses and start walking down.
"Just wanted to make sure nothing is broken because of your clumsiness."
"Not so surprised to be honest" I stood up and rubbed my lower back. It was hurting a little. In the meantime Reiji was examine room with his eyes. After a few moments of silence he spoke
"Not bad for a low intellectual creature like you"
"Hey!....But thanks. No applause needed"
"And no one will applause for that"
"But you have to admit it I did a great job with the floor" I came closer to him looking down.
"That.." he hesitated "...I agree with that."
I folded my arms "Yeah. With the regular water you won't get this kind of result that's why I used a holy water" Reiji looked at me and I did the same " Now this house is clean in a many different ways"
"Seriously" he sighted and walked up the stairs passing me by
"I have exercised the demons!" I said in Ace Ventura's style.
Reiji turned his head back at me and glared
"Get back to work"
Before he disappeared I saluted him.
"And one, two, three, four ! ~And God knows I'm not dying but I breath now~" It's a great acoustic here.

At the moment when I was polishing the last stair somehow I ended up doing Indian dance.
"~All we need is somebody to lean on~"
"Umm Kaya-chan"
A short but loud scream came from my mouth.
"Sorry. Didn't meant to scare you"
"It's okay." but it made my heartbeat faster "So anyway, what's up?" I looked at the blonde girl.
"Oh I heard you were down here so I was wondering do you need any help with cleaning?"
"Thanks for asking. But I'm done"
"I see. Well do you want to get something to ea-"
"I'm always a slut for coffee" I cut her off throwing rag in a bucket and walking towards Yui.
"Really? You need coffee?"
"Yeah. I'm felling tired. So coffee me up"
"Coffee you up?"
"Yes. It means give me at least two cups of coffee because my blood pressure is low and I can drink that thing as much as I want"


Me and Yui were sitting in the kitchen just chatting. She told me more about her father, church. That girl was thinking of becoming a nun. In my opinion, Yui would have been a great sister. Considering her character and personality this kind of life style would suit her. But since we stuck in here....I think that not only Yui but me too should forget about our dreams because from now till the end our only purpose of existence will be to provide blood for vampires.
'I had became such a big pessimist'
For a while we were talking until the ball dance party's topic came up.
"So Reiji-san is throwing a party?" Yui asked.
"Yeah. Maybe tomorrow we will get some piece and quiet from those guys?"
"Mhm All of them should be attending the party since they are the Vampires King's sons"
"Hmm"
Yui looked at me with questioning look in her pink eyes. And indeed I was questioning myself too: did the idea that ran through my head was possible? If we would play safe this might...
"Kaya-chan?"
I snapped out and looked at her seriously.
"We can runaway from here"
"What!?"
With calm voice I answered "They all will be busy at that moment"
"B-but that's too risky. We can't possibly just walked out of door. One way or another they will catch us"
"Well this might be one of those rare chances of running away. We can't waist it. Come on, chicas must stick together"
"My, my what kind of dreams do we have Fufu~" My heart skipped. I looked behind me not showing any fear. Laito tipped his fedora giving devilish smile. "Aww don't look at me like that Bitch-chan." he said coming closer. When Laito was standing in front of me, he grabbed me by wrist "Can I have a word with you~"
"No- Whoa!" after one blink I found myself laying on the cold dungeons floor. But this time I wasn't in the cell like last few times. It was a torture room. I looked around examining all those devices.
"I will need lot more holy water for this place if I ever have to clean it" I said to myself.
"Like what you see ? The smell of blood in the air really makes me thirsty you know~" he let out 'inappropriate' sight.
'The level of thirst in this mansion is over 9000'
"Of course it does" I rolled my eyes and stood on my feet "But I must go and finish the job that Reiji gave to me sooo yeah......wait where's the exit?"
Laito pushed me down on one a table with one of his hand pinning mine above my head. With free one he took a big bend knife or something like that.
"Do you know what is this?" he playfully was turning that thing around in his hand
"A big fishing hook for shark hunting? Or more like the murder instruments that would be focused on my murder trial"
"Fufu~ Even in a situation like this you tend to crack some jokes" he whispered leaning closer to me and this time his voice from creepy-cheerful turned into weirdly-serious for Laito "Lets get one thing straight here. I believe that you are capable of running away. Your not like the other brides. But we would still catch you. And if it happens, you will have to pay for it hard" he placed the sharp edge of the knife on my throat "But not only you. Your brothers too" My eyes widen "So listen to my advice if you care for their and yours safety-"
"No"
"What?" Laito frowned his eyebrows.
"I'm the one who is responsible for my own mistakes. You can torture me, cut me, bite me, tear me apart, break me down but I'll say this one time. Leave. My brother. Out. Of this. Nonsense. I will take all the punishments"
"Hehe Hahahaha Aww Bitch-chan, acting all brave" smirk appeared on his face "That's why I like you. And this time I will only suck your blood" with knife he made a cut on the side of my neck. My skin was burning and it hurt. The hot liquid ran down my neck. The vampire looked at the moving drop of my blood with hungry eyes. He lowered his head down to my neck and licked it. Not waiting for invitation his fangs sank into my flesh. I bit my lip. His grip on my hands were tight enough for not letting me move. As always, the view got blurrier, head heavier, arms and legs numb...

Somehow I managed to get back to my room and crawl on my bed. Laito didn't sucked my blood to the passing out point but still. I didn't even cared that the hole in the wall still was there connecting mine and Subaru's rooms.
"Good night Subaru" I mumbled
"Why do you have to bring that smell here?"he growled.
"Our first fight as a roommates"
"Tch" I heard coffin lid closing.
" I love you too white-rabbit-boy" and I snoozed off.
I was running as fast as I could in the darkness. These small forest roads were familiar to me. My legs moved on their own. In the distance I could see lights coming out through the windows. A small smile appeared on my face.
'Could it be? I finally got home?'
I barged in not caring that my shoes were dirty and wet. I shouted for my brothers names hoping for someone to respond. Nothing. I stood in my old house hallway carefully listening expecting for any sound. My heart started to beat faster as I felt even with my bone that there was something wrong. I looked at open living room's door and I walked in. Because of my old habit I turned my head to the right where on the wall were hanging my family's pictures.
'No way'
In all of the pictures my brothers figures were black like someone painted them with ink. Only I was clear in photographs.
'What's going on?' with almost crying voice I spoke as I took few steps back. It started to get harder to breath, my heartbeat got faster. Then my back bummed into something. When I turned around I saw six black figures standing in front of me. The sight made me gasped. Figures were looking at me then they all reached for me drowning everything in darkness.
I woke up screaming.
"Oi don't shout" Subaru hissed covering his ears.
I placed my hand on my chest, trying to calm myself down
'It was only a dream. Thank God'
"Nightmare?" Subaru asked me. The albino boy was sitting on the side of my bed next to me.
I brushed a few sweat drops from my forehead "Probably"
"Probably? Hard breathing, sweating, your heartbeat was loud and fast from what it looked like you were in lot of pain"
"But it was still better then history class...What happened here?" I pointed at four red lines on his hand.
"When I heard you whimpering I tried to wake you up but you scratched me"
"Oh. Sorry"
"Tch. Idiot" he stood up and walked towards his room "And cut your damn nails"
"But they are the only Sakamaki-legal self-defense weapon I can carry"
In the other room I heard pushing, scratching sound. Subaru was moving cupboard to cover the hole.
"Well it was nice having you as a roommate!"
"We were never roommates!"
"Yes, we were" I got out of bed still a little light headed. "Hey, is today tomorrow?!"
"What ?!"
"Let me ask the other way. Did I slept more then 14 hours !?"
"....Yeah"
"Its tomorrow" I walked up to my dresses and pulled out a slightly ripped blue jeans and dark red t-shirt with buttons. I kept think about the dream. Well, more like nightmare. Are those figures my brothers. But would never hurt me. Or maybe, they were representing Sakamakis. Just what the hell. It's wasn't creepy like that but I was never in my life so scared of dream. Maybe Laito's words get me. He did say that my brother will have to pay the price too if I try to run away from here.
When I was brushing my hair from the other room I heard grunting, swearing, hissing sounds. After few moment of silence my room's door opened.
"Whoa. Aren't we looking fancy tonight " a smile appeared on my face. Subaru in formal wearing was a real eye-candy. He looked nice and handsome.
"Tch. Do you...Do you know what...to do with this thing?" he showed me tie in his hands while a small blush spread on his face.
"Tie a tie? Sure"
How come he doesn't know this kind of thing. At least the simple way of tying. But since it's for formal dance/party I will do it differently.
"Aaaand done" making a few adjustments I looked at my job product. "Damn I good"
"Thanks" Subaru mumbled and left my room.
".....You're welcome"

A few hours have passed. The sky was pitch black only stars and moon were shining. Violins and piano sound mixture into harmonized melody which made a perfect background music for scenery. I was sitting on the top rail swinging my legs. Reiji told me not to go anywhere. And he did the smart move. The last time I was in high society party which happened to that time when I almost threw up at the dinner table in front of the Vampire King, things didn't go well.
'Caviar' I shivered
Talking about food I was kinda hungry. Kitchen should be free.
When I got downstairs, someone knock on the door.
.
.
Knocks again. I slowly walked to the main door and opened it. Outside there was standing a young girl. She was taller then me, same age, I guess. She was wearing a rain coat and underneath long dark blue dress.
"Hello, my apologies for being late" without wasting any time she walked pass me inside the mansion, took of her rain coat and handed to me not even glancing at me once. A little bit confused I took her coat.
"Umm... may I ask you who you are?"
"Miss Buchholz" she looked at me from head to toe "But it's not like human-servant like you need to know that"
"Riiight, could you tell me again what's your name? Was it Bizcocho?" (A.N. in Mexico Bizcocho means vagina. It's like slang word)
"No. It's Buchholz."
"My apologies"
"Please lead me to where the main event is held"
"Sure, follow me" I showed the way to where ballroom was.
"And for the record don't get used to my last name"
"Why ?"
"I will marry Sakamaki Reiji"
I stopped and started processing if I did heard hear right.
'Breaking news: Sakamaki Reiji is getting married and the local girl looses bet with herself'
"Reiji? Sakamaki Reiji?"
"Yes" she softly smiled
"That tall, slender man with glasses. Kinda reminds of mantis"
She stopped and looked at me "He's handsome, isn't he?"
"R-Reiji?"
I led her to the spot. When she closed the door I threw her rain coat somewhere not even looking where and opened the door just enough for me to see what was going on inside.
'Oh I have to see this. But I can't just barge in the party. Damn it I need an intel. Oh'
"Psst Kanato" I whispered. The boy first looked around not knowing from where voice came. I whispered again and gestured him to come. He closed the doors behind him.
"What do you need ?"
"Umm yeah hi. Listen, I was just curious. Does the name Bizcoch- I mean Buchholz says anything to you ?"
Kanato smiled "Nee~ Teddy. That crazy girl somehow found Reiji again"
"....I'm right here" I assumed he was talking about me
"Stupid mortal" he glared at me "I'm not talking about you. It's about that idiot female vampire that you mentioned before"
"Oh. Tell me about her?"
"Why should I ?" he was about to leave
"Because I can make cookies and you can't"
"Miss Buchholz is obsessed with Reiji. She thinks that he will marry her. No matter how many time Reiji rejected her, she still comes back to him."
"Oh. Your. God"
"If that's all..."
"Yes. Thank you, sweetie. For now I'm good"
"For tomorrow I wish for fresh chocolate chips cookies" he said and went back to the party.
*meanwhile at the party*
"It so boring" Ayato sighted putting his hands in pockets.
"Ayato-kun, don't act like a little child. Better look, that girl over there is-"
"As I said, boring" Laito gave his brother a devilish smile. Ayato frowned his eyebrows and looked at the guy. "What?"
"Nothing at all"
"....yes as I said I'm specialized in abnormal psychology" behind them man spoken which caught Ayato's and Laito's attention.
"Excuse me..." Laito said making middle age man look at boys.
"...Abnormal psychology. It's freaks and stuff ?" Ayato asked.
"It's the branch of psychology that studies unusual person's behavior and emotions. But you could say that too" man replied.
Laito and Ayato looked at each other.
*in the hallway*
"Hmm... So if dynamite were used as distraction, then how many sticks would you need to not kill over 200 hundreds vampires?"
I was walking back and forth trying to figure out how to get inside.
"Orokana, come here for a second" suddenly Ayato popped out next to me and grabbed my hand dragging to the party.
'Well this was easy'
We walked pass people. Everything was so fancy. Tables were covered with plates of food 'What's the point, they're vampires' We stopped next to Laito and some man.
"What's on your mind?" Ayato asked.
"Umm...At this moment? Why did you dragged me here?" I looked a little bit around catching few jugging looks from others. 'Pfff High society'
"What's going on ? Why is she here?" I found Reiji standing next to me. He looked at me then at the strange man standing next to Laito "Interesting. Could you tell that man what are you thinking right now?"
"I...umm...Could you be more specific?"
"Banks" Laito said randomly.
"Oh I don't trust banks, I believe that there is a possibility of the robots rise. And when it happens ATMs will lead the charge"
"......Is this human aware of her position in this mansion?" man asked.
"Yes" Reiji answered "And before you say anything she already came in this mansion in this kind of....condition"
"Tsk Reiji, why you have to be so rude?" I almost sang it out getting from him a grunt.
"Young lady, may I ask you one thing? How you feel about Reiji-sama" the man asked me.
"He's like a brother to me" They all looked at me with confused face expressions "Stepbrother?....Weird kid who lives across the street and eats nothing but mayonnaise?"
"That. Is. Fascinating" that's the only reply I got from a that man.
