Chapter 5

Ayato wandered around the mansion, humming a forgotten tune to himself. He stumbled across a door left ajar, revealing a soundly sleeping Ruki. He was amazed as to how this halfblood could sleep in the middle of the night. That too, without his coffin. But then, he hadn't seen many halfbloods in his lifetime. He kicked the door open and invited himself in.

The bang roused Ruki, who rubbed his eyes lazily as he sat upright. "What are you doing here?"

"None of your business," Ayato answered back. But by his relaxed mannerisms, Ruki could assume that he had had some of Eve's blood.

"You sucked on her, right?" Ruki spat out. Ayato seemed surprised, as though he hadn't expected such an outburst from Ruki. He pulled out a chair from the dresser and sat down on it. "Excuse me?"

"You let her blood leak out, even when you knew that it was dangerous."

Ayato let out a little chuckle. "Pancake is mine. I do whatever I want with her."

"Is it?" Ruki seemed amused. He cocked an eyebrow and said, "If that's how you think, can you make Eve care for you?"

"Care for me?" Ayato was perplexed. "Of course she does. She'd come sprinting for me the moment she heard I was thirsty-"

"That's pity, and it is a whole other emotion compared to compassion."

Ayato lost interest in the conversation. "As long as she's ready to give me her blood, I don't really care."

"Well, you know, the bond of love is enough to make you a slave." Ruki quoted from one of the books on his side table.

"What?"

Ruki smiled as he lured Ayato into his trap. "Right now, Yui is defiant of you. And granted, you enjoy a prey that puts up a fight, but imagine the possibilities if Yui was more submissive towards you. You could hurt her in ways unimaginable, and the only thing you would need to do in order to achieve that would be to ask her."

Ayato rubbed his chin. "I don't understand a thing you say."

"Suppose," Ruki explained, "that you want to test her pain limit. Normally, she would put up a fight, and as usual, that would put you of your thirst. But if she doesn't put up a fight at all..."

Ayato blinked. "So... In order to do that, what do I have to do?"

Ruki smirked. "Simple. Win her affection. Make her fall in love."

Shu was sleeping as usual on the couch, when he heard a shuffling of feet. The very sound made him realise that it was the naïvette. He scrunched his nose up in annoyance. "You woke me up."

She squeaked. "Shu-san!"

"Obviously it's me, you idiot." He said, getting up and staring at her angrily. "Because of you I haven't been able to sleep properly for days."

Yui hung her head in shame. The dim moonlight hit her soft features as she moved closer to Shu. "I'm sorry Shu-san."

Shu inhaled in her scent, as her body glowed with warmth and sweat. It awakened a hunger inside him that he didn't comprehend. Soon enough, he was on top of her, pinning her to the ground, and tearing off her collar to expose her shoulder.

Yui resisted. Her nails dug into the vampire's skin, leaving nothing but unbroken skin in it's wake. She hiccuped as a swarm of tears overcame her, and she felt sharp teeth tear through her skin like a hot knife through butter.

Shu helped himself to her blood, and soon his fingers travelled to parts of her untouched by any other man. The first thrust sent her into a painful spasm, and she arched her back. "No..." she managed to let a small sound out. Shu continued his torture, thrusting his fingers at an agonising speed, making Yui feel even more repulsed.

"Such a bad girl," Shu whispered, and bit down harder. That was enough to make her scream in agony, and the next thing she knew was that Shu was ripped off of her, and Ayato stood right in front of her, his eyes bright with fury, almost looking ready to rip Shu's head off.

"How many times do I have to tell you?" Ayato picked Yui in his arms, and started walking towards her room. "I am the one who gets all your firsts."

***

Once in the bedroom, Ayato dropped Yui on the bed. She squinted in pain, ready to bear the brunt of his tantrums.

But then out of nowhere, Ayato covered her with a blanket and tucked her in.

"Ayato-kun," Yui swallowed, "Thank you."

Ayato huffed. "You're a pain to watch out for."

Yui hung her head in shame. "I understand."

Ayato turned on his heels and said "I would lock you from outside. Can't trust you running into my brothers again."

"Ayato-kun..."

"WHAT?!"

"Do you want my blood?"

"What kind of question is that?" Ayato said, "Of course I do. But I don't want to drink it right now."

A soft shiver ran down Yui's spine as she looked at Ayato, as he started to advance towards her. She crawled back into the bed, bumping her head into the headboard, and gasping in surprise. Ayato pulled her by her ankle and pinned her down, as she stopped struggling altogether.

"What are you gonna do, Ayato-kun?"

Ayato watched her chest rise and fall, his eyes sparkling with mischief. He brought his lips towards the bite mark on Yui's neck, and planted a chaste kiss on it. Yui closed her eyes in terror. This wasn't happening. She could stop Ayato from drinking her blood but she couldn't stop him from taking advantage of her. As she almost regained the sensation in her limbs, she felt him lick the wound and leave his saliva on her neck.

The first thing that came into Yui's mind was gross. Then, as she felt her willpower slip away, Ayato lifted himself off from her.

"You're boring when you don't fight," he said, and spat on the floor. And then, within a flash, he was gone, and the bedroom door was locked from outside.

And that was the moment Yui realised that the bite had stopped stinging.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey sweet readers! It's Ikkin. You might be seeing the sporadic updates up here. I have no excuse but I'm currently a medico in making, and clinical duties and the semesters have taken over my life. My studies are important and outlining and drafting chapters is time consuming, but this is one story that I wrote just for the sake of writing . I did not expect so many people coming and enjoying my story so much. So i just decided to finish up this chapter early and publish it.

Also, you guys might get who I ship Yui with the most :) I love Ayato, and Shu comes at the second place. Who's your favourite?

I might upload fairly regularly from now, don't worry<3
