Chapter 4

~Yuri's Point of View~

I put away the blank diary and went to attend dinner. I took a seat next to Ayato, and Yui sat in front of me.

'Are you alright?' I mouthed to Yui. She nodded. Wow, my idiotic sister can read lips.

Yui and I didn't eat anything. I normally loved food, but something made me lose my appetite. I stared down at my plate.

"It doesn't seem like you eaten very much, Princess~" Laito's voice said beside me. I turned to face him, our faces only couple inches away. "You need to eat a well balanced diet or you'll became anemic." I rolled my eyes in annoyance. "I'd be more than happy to feed you if you like," he purred. I did my best not to gag.

"Laito," Reiji said. It's impolite to stand when the rest of us are still eating so please refrain from doing so." Laito stood up and smirked. "Yes sir." He turned back to me and winked. "But this conservation isn't over, Princess~"

He went back to his seat, and Shu suddenly stood up. "Shu...?" His eyes were still closed. "I can't be bothering with this," he said then back out of the room.

Reiji closed his eyes and then opened them. "I've had enough of that deadbeat. As a child he had everything handed to him on a silver platter. This is what happens when kids are spoiled."

"Teddy..." Kanato said. "What would you like to eat next? Let's have a banana snowball. Shall we?" He started stabbing the food on his plate. He laughed crazily. I shivered.

"He can't even make the effort to attend our monthly dinner party," Reiji said, still talking to himself about Shu. "He won't deign to grace us with his presence. That will be all for today."

Subaru left first, and the triplets followed. I stood and Yui did the same. I walked over to the door and Yui followed me. "Wait just a minute," Reiji said. "Your table manners are deplorable," he told Yui. "Are you not aware of that?" My eye ticked in annoyance. I turned back around and addressed Reiji. "I will take care of that," I told him coldly. "Thank you for dinner," I said, not really meaning it.

I walked with Yui behind me. We went to my room and sat down on the bed. I pulled Father's diary out from my drawer.

"Where did you get that?" Yui asked. I grinned. "Technically, I stole it. But it isn't theirs. It's Father's." Yui nodded. "Yui..." I began. "The pages... became blank," I said, showing her the pages. "I'm afraid that the only clue we have left is this photograph," I said, as I examined the picture of us. I put the diary and the photograph back into the drawer.

"How was school?" I asked. "It was fine," she said quickly. "Yui..."

Yui pouted. "Fine. Kanato... bit me." I sighed and punched the bed angrily.

"Well, my day was terrible. Ayato bit me and drank from me until I passed out and then threw me into the pool, where I almost drowned." I sighed bitterly. "Thanks for asking, Yui," I said making sure she heard the sarcasm.

Yui gasped in horror. "Are you alright?" she asked. "Yeah, just tired," I replied back with a weak smile. She left me so I can rest.

I laid on the bed and closed my eyes. "What are you doing?" a voice asked, and I sat up quickly to see Ayato sitting on a chair. I glared. "Why are you in my room?" He grinned. "I go wherever I want whenever I want, and right now I'm here to suck your blood."

I sighed. "I'm going to take a bath," I said, trying to make an excuse. I walked towards the door, but Ayato grabbed my hand and pulled me back to him. I tried to yank my hand away, but I was no match against a vampire with supernatural powers.
