Dog - Ruki Mukami x Ayato Sakamaki

Part 1

Author's Notes

Expect no fluff. I'm so sorry, Ayato! Also, OOC Ruki?

~~~

Ayato had tried to steal Eve away from the Mukamis; it didn't go quite as well as he'd hoped.

Despite being a pureblood, the odds of four against one were very difficult to ignore, but he managed, and that was how he ended up in this position, chained down in the Mukami dungeon.

He didn't complain, not verbally, but he was sitting on the floor, glaring daggers at the iron bars in front of him, and his green eyes glittered with rage.

He was unbelievably bored, which only made him more irritated. But he perked up instantly upon hearing someone descend the stairs. The steps were light, hardly what he imagined any of the vampires would be, except for that small one with all the bandages, he looked sickly enough that his footfalls wouldn't be heavy.

But as the figure reached the bottom and made their way towards him, a lantern in hand, he could see it was her. The smell of blood immediately overtook him; her scent was pungent, and he was hungry.

"Ayato," she murmured. "A-Are you okay?" She was genuinely concerned for him, he could see it on her face.

He huffed. "These pathetic excuses for vampires couldn't hurt Yours Truly if they tried!" A rather proud grin parted his lips, and his fangs were visible.

She looked away from him, instead staring at the floor, saying, "I'm sorry ... I know I've caused you a lot trouble, and I-"

"Oi," Ayato interrupted. "If you feel so bad, come here and let me have some of your blood. I won't forgive you with anything less."

"I couldn't!" She almost shouted, her eyes wide. "If Ruki found out, I don't know what-"

"I don't care," Ayato growled. His desire to feed was intense, and the refusal made him more aggravated than normal. "Just get over here, now."

She tentatively opened the barred door and stepped inside, making her way over to him before a hand gripped her shoulder, causing her to yelp in alarm and drop the lantern, extinguishing the flame.

"What are you doing down here?" A calm but dark voice questioned.

"I-I," she couldn't bring herself to answer, she knew who it was, and it made her tremble in fear.

"Go to my room and wait," he whispered. "I'll deal with you later."

As soon as the hand was lifted from her, she turned and ran back up the stairs without a word, which only pissed off Ayato, since his meal had been taken from him, again.

"You've got some nerve to mess with me; do you know who I am?" Ayato spoke with a threatening tone.

"You are Ayato Sakamaki, fifth son of Karlheinz, The Vampire King, and third in line for his throne." His captor returned the question, "Do you know who I am?"

He knew who Ayato was alright, and it was freaking him out. He didn't know who this was, just where they were and that he hated him.

"I am Ruki Mukami, head of the Mukami household and servant of The Vampire King, Karlheinz."

Hearing that name repeatedly was making Ayato twitch. But if this guy, Ruki, worked for that man then surely he could just order himself released.

"If you work for-" Ayato hesitated. "Him, then you have to let me go."

"I don't think so," was Ruki's reply, delivered calmly, but firm. "You went against his will, prince or not, that is unacceptable."

Ruki had a second motive for keeping Ayato; he knew that if he simply let him leave, he might bring a few of his brothers and try again. Even if he could only persuade one, that still made the odds in their favor, being purebloods.

Gritting his teeth, Ayato hissed, "Bastard, you're really starting to get on my nerves now."

"That is hardly the way for a prince to speak." Ruki's eyes were lidded, staring down at Ayato, his expression was unimpressed.

"The hell are you on?" The glare Ruki was giving made Ayato uncomfortable, and he was not all too fond of the feeling.

"I will give you one last chance to correct yourself."

"Fuck you!"

Ruki's eyes narrowed, and a frown pulled down the corners of his lips. "If you act like a beast, then that is how you will be treated." Ruki left almost immediately, leaving Ayato unable to retort.
