I'll Never Let You Go • AyatoxYui (EDITING!!!)

Chapter 14

Grasping tightly onto each other's hands the undead couple ran up to the main deck laughing at the pathetic butler's furious outburst in the baggage compartment. Swiftly, climbing the stairs and practically falling out the doorway onto the wooden deck gasping for breath from their continuous laughter. The pair were so caught up in the moment they didn't realise the group of vampires and a young mortal girl staring at them thoroughly confused with their behaviour. Ruki noticed that his tallest brother's jacket had gone missing and the couples appearance had become extremely dishevelled since he had last seen him but chose not to question the matter further.

"What is the matter with you two cackling fools?" Reiji said annoyed at his brother's sudden appearance. Shu and Yuma had stopped laughing and calmed down slightly, then started to walk towards the group surrounding Subaru.

"It's a long story that we would rather not share with the group." Yuma stated.

Kou made eye contact with Yuma and shared a knowing look with him, since he had a good guess as to why they didn't want to share any details about their recent disappearance. The rest of the group chose not to comment on the answer and turned back towards Subaru who was still too weak to stand. Kou wrapped an arm around Subaru's back and the other under his knees to carry him back to their suite. Shu and Yuma stood frozen with shock at Subaru's physical condition, observing the many cuts, bruises and blood stains that littered his body.

"Care to explain what happened to you little brother." Shu said.

"It's another long story." Subaru smirked at the blonde.

The group chuckled at the brothers, then proceeded to follow Kou back to the Mukami suite where Reiji could look over Subaru and asses the injuries. While on their way past the first class grand staircase, Kanato and Azusa toke it upon themselves to go ask a waiter to bring them tonight's meal to their room.

After everyone was gathered in the large living area around the newly lit fire, enjoying their evening meal the room erupted into various conversations. Kou and Subaru were the only ones located in Kou's bedroom since it was more comfortable for Subaru, who was now covered in bandages, clean of any dried blood and had changed into a clean shirt and trousers. Ruki, Azusa and Reiji sat in a civilised manner at the dining table to the left of the fireplace and the rest of the group. They were discussing the recent events and what they should do to minimise injuries when going after Ayato, which was extremely boring to Azusa, but he wanted to sit with his dark-haired brother.

Shu and Yuma sat cuddled up on the velvet blue couch opposite the fire, feeding each other and sharing small kisses. The scene behind him caused Laito to make fake gagging noises causing his brother and Yui to laugh at his antics, cheering all three of them up slightly. The trio were located in front of the fire huddled together, with their empty plates now on the coffee table behind them. Laito had a comforting arm wrapped around Yui's shoulders since he noticed the mortal's mood drop from overhearing the conversation about Ayato.

"We'll find him soon, try not to worry so much Little Bitch." Laito said.

"I hope so, I'm scared about what that awful woman could be doing to him or worse he could already be dead." Yui said. Tears starting to stream down the blonde's face just from the very thought of her beloved being injured, it started to soak the black skirt she wore. Kanato pulled a satin purple handkerchief from his pocket and turned to face the girl to help wipe her tears away. He knew exactly how she felt, losing one of his brothers had been painful for him too, resulting in him crying himself to sleep in Ayato's bed every night since his arrest. Yui thanked the purple-haired vampire for his kind gesture, and toke the handkerchief that Kanato had silently gifted her.

"Why don't we go rescue him tomorrow night?" Kanato suggested looking at the pair.

Laito's green eyes widened at the question, seriously considering his younger brother's question. Yui moved to sit up properly conflicted on whether or not to follow the suggestion and plan for their rescue mission. She looked at Laito hoping that he would agree to this and assist the other two in getting Ayato back. Kanato gave his brother the same look waiting for him to say he would help, and glad the others in the room paid no mind to their conversation to stop them from evening thinking about saving Ayato.
