I swear to God they were INSUFFERABLE.

I swiftly kicked them all out of my room last night, shutting the door in a huff as I clambered into bed.

I'd like to say I had a nice long rest but the thoughts that swirled in my head and embarrassment that flooded my system kept me up.

Safe to say I woke up GROUCHY.

So now here I was, begrudgingly applying foundation, that was most definitely expired, over the bruises. I didn't need the other brothers getting any ideas.

I slammed the glass bottle onto my vanity table and got up with a huff, not bothering to chabge out of my pyjamas consisting of sweats and a hoodie.

I'd already written in for a week off due to "chicken pox" so we'd be able to focus on stopping Richter.

I wrenched my door open, hoping to find Azusa and calm myself down by admiring the adorable boy. Only I opened my door to find a corpse laying accross my doorway.

And not the schmexy, whaddup baby, 40hz voice CORPSE, I mean a blonde bitch who currently looked dead corpse.

"What are you doing here...?" I sighed, moving to shift the boy off of the floor.

"One of us has to be with you..." He mumbled lazily as I struggled to lift his hefty ass off the floor. "We're your bodyguards after all..." I pause at that. "Have you...? Have you been out here all night?" I ask but am not even shocked whenhe replies with a relaxed nod.

"You guys..." I swear, it was like every time they made me mad, they went and did something so adorable after.

"I could never stay mad at you guys..." I sigh, giving up on trying to shift the boy's dead weight.

Then the sound of clattering was audible from downstairs.

Then shouting.

I quickly leapt up, deciding on whether or not to grab the knife Subaru gave me.

It took all of two seconds for Shu to grab a hold of me and teleport us downstairs.

I already had my hand wrapped around the hilt of the knife.

We were hidden by the doorway to the entrance hall.

I quickly shove the dagger into the belt loop of my pants.

Shu wrapped me in his arms as he pulled me flush against his chest, him peering around the wall.

I try to take a peek for myself but am stopped by the hand that clasps over my mouth and holds my head in place.

"Bastard-!" I hear Subaru's voice hitch followed by two loud crashes.

'no-! Don't hurt them...'

"You-!" I barely had time to register and recognise Ayato's voice before he was sent barrelling into the wall right beside the entry way, barely a meter away from us. I had to forcibly stop myself from flinching.

The wall crumbled as a thud indicated him falling to the floor.

I try to move again but Shu holds me tight.

I look up, wanting to defy him but the look on his face makes me pause.

His brows are knitted in an uncharacteristically frustrated expression. His lips are screwed tight and trepidation is evident in his eyes. He was conflicted. Conflicted between keeping me safe and aiding his brothers.

After all, as much as they may have irritatedand annoyed each other, they were family.

"You kids don't stand a chance against me," the voice I now recognised to be Richter's boomed through the hall.

I curl my hands into fist, anger and hatred searing within me.

"Just hand over the key and I will spare you all," The way he said it just made my blod boil. "After all, you are my precious nephews..." There was no warmth in the way he said it, just bitterness.

I glanced around the room, quickly spotting the back door further down the hall.

I tug on Shu's sleeve and point at the door, hoping he gets the hint.

A blink later and we're outside, the chilly morning breeze not as comforting as it used to be.

"We can't run from him but if I hide you can go help them right?" I utter quickly as I lead us towards the second door around the back of the house. He looks apprehensive but nods.

"Good," I smile.

"I have somewhere I can hide out, I don't think he'll be able to find it anytime soon," I open the door as quietly as I can, creeping in.

"Go help them and win," I smile, hiding my quivering hands behind the door. "You guys can do it."

He spares me one last look before he turns to move off and I begin to close the door.

Then I feel the handle slip from my grasp as the door is pulled back outwards.

I stifle a gasp as I fall into familiar arms.

I look up only for lips to crash into mine.

'WHAT THE FUCK??!?!?!'

My hands instinctively tug at his shirt as my eyes widen in shock.

Despite the messy onset, the kiss becomes surprisingly tender and chaste as he pulls away, a lingering sense of warmth dances over my tingling lips.

I gape at him like some kind of fish out of water but his face is serious.

"You're mine, now one will take you from me, understand?" His words are so assertive and yet, why did he sound like he was begging?

I could only nod as my eyes stayed glued to his.

A small smile spreads across his face.

"What a lewd man you are..." He mumbles, shutting the door behind him as he leaves.

I stand there in a mixture of shock and a strange fuzzy feeling that envelops my chest.

'why did he...?'

I hear his footsteps slowly retreat, maybe a meter or so from the door as I turn to head down the stairs.

But I was careless.

I'd forgotten who exactly I'd brought here before.

The same man who now stood before me.

He dug his nails into my skin as he yanked me into him, slapping a hand over my mouth.

Shu was right outside the door.

He was so close by all I had to do was whisper for him but I couldn't.

All I could do was watch as my attempts to free myself grew steadily weaker.

I reached for the knife but couldn't move my arm far enough without arising suspicion.

My fingers grow cold.

The air feels thick as it forces my throat open with each coagulated mass.

'Shu...

please...

he..ar...

m...e....'

I reach out but my hand falls.

Then it all went black
