Ebony's POV:
After school, all of us went back home when Reiji called me for dinner, all of us are at the dinner table eating our feast. However, I found it weird when the brothers are not just quiet, but all of them are staring at me as I eat my platter elegantly, I thought to myself.

Strange...I wonder what their thinking about?

But then again I started to think about the great peaceful silence in the room.

Silence is an absence
Silence is profound
Silence is a conversation
Being had without sound
Silence is an expression
One that cannot be heard
Silence cannot be spoken
Although it is a word
Silence is a presence
Of great nothingness
Silence can be something
And yet cease to exist
Silence can fill a room
And have no mass at all
Silence cannot be dropped, yet it can fall
Silence is a mystery
That will forever go unsolved
Silence is how every sound can swiftly be dissolved
Silence is the sound of rest
The only sound that can sound best
While other sounds can cause great pain
Silence is not the sound to blame
For Silence is what silence is
Something that is nothing
Nothing that exists

After I thought poetically, I started smiling at the thought of endless silence until my train of thought got interrupted when Laito appeared and starts flirting with me.

"~fufu~ Kuro chan, you sound so quiet today."

He said as I turned to him with a deadpan look.

"I've been quiet this whole time."

I said emotionlessly as he smirks at me, he leans towards the edge of my chair with his green eyes gleaming in flirtation.

"You always gain attention from my brothers do you?"

He asked as I look straight at him and flat out told him straightforwardly.

"I was never the attention seeker, but I do know impurity when I sense one."

I said dryly when Reiji to Laito with a cold glare, he scolded at him.

"Stop it Laito, it's highly inappropriate to behave towards a young woman at the dinner table."

"~fufu~ you're no fun at all Reiji."

He pouts as he looks at me with a smirk.

"We'll talk about this later Kuro chan."

He winked as I left the dining room, I politely stood up and turned to Reiji.

"Excuse me Reiji, but I'm finished with my meal and thank you for the meal, It was very delicious."

I politely said as Reiji nodded gently at me, he politely replied.

"Thank you Ebony for the compliment and your manners are perfectly etiquette unlike SOMEONE(*coughs* *coughs* Yui *coughs*)."

He said as I smiled warmly at him, I politely bowed down to him, all of the brothers left the dining room.

After dinner is finished, I decided to go to my room to write a lot of deep poetry until I sense an eerie presence. I then turned around to see Kanato looking at me.

"Kanato, is there something you want for me?"

I asked politely when he smiled warmly at me, he replied back.

"Of course I was Ebony, it is so sweet of you to be so sensitive to our needs."

He smiled sweetly as I smiled as well, I asked him.

"Why thank you Kanato, so what do you want from me?"

I asked as he replied back.

"That should be obvious, I want you to figure that on your own. Besides teddy and I want you to come to see our mother's grave would you be kind to come with us."

He asked kindly as my eyes beamed in excitement by the decays of graveyards, I smiled widely.

"Why of course I would Kanato."

I said happily with Kanato smiling at me.

As we went outside to grab a bunch of roses, I decided to bring black roses since I love them so much. Then I met up with Kanato when we walked towards the graveyard, I immediately got fascinated by the the dark eerie beauty of the decay.

I then thought to myself while walking in the graveyard.

There's such beauty in decay. Rust is lovelier than paint. Though I doubt old age will happen to me.

While we're walking in the graveyard, we stopped to a particular grave where Kanato looked at me smiling.

"Now that we're here, why won't we put these roses besides her grave, this is my mother's."

I nodded gently at him as Kanato puts down the roses down to his mother, gently put the roses down on their mother's grave.

After I put the roses down, Kanato smiled warmly at me.

"Thank you Ebony, you're so sweet."

"Your welcome Kanato and I'm so happy to be in this beautiful graveyard."

I said as Kanato smiled sweetly, he replied.

"I'm glad you're happy Ebony because I love graves as well. It's just so dark and quiet, it even has the air of decays with music to my ears."

He said happily as I nodded him in agreement, I respect his love for the graves since I love them as well.

"I couldn't agree more, The graveyard is a place that inspires. You will found the unknown legacies, untold stories of the forgotten many."

Kanato's POV:
After Ebony expresses her passionate affection for death and graveyards, I looked at her for a second before I reverted back to my original smile, I asked her curiously.

"Tell me Ebony, do you love death?"

She then turns to face and smiled warmly at me.

"How can I not, death and darkness itself is just so beautiful and enchanting that I even want to fade away into complete darkness."

She smiled as I stood there lightly shocked by her words, I asked her again.

"So do you want to die?"

I asked curiously as she stood and sadly asked me.

"If I say yes, would you...send me there?"

I stood there shocked by her request as she tries to smiled, I can tell she's in pain.

So she wants to die too, just like I wanted to die.

I thought about until Ebony came up to me and asked me sadly.

"Hey Kanato, if you want to kill me...then you can just do it here now..."

I stood there shocked by what she said that it makes my heart aches when she would say something like this, I thought to myself.

What is this feeling that I'm having in my body? Could this be what people feel when their happy? No, it's more than that. It's...

I then saw a single drop of tear from her face shocking me as my heart pounded slowly, I finally discovered this feeling that I never felt before.

...Love..

Ebony's POV:
While suppressing my tears, I sadly told Kanato to end me since I've been waiting for this fate for a long time.

"Kanato, I know you're a vampire, so why won't you just kill me now. Since I deserve to fade into an endless darkness."

I said as tears starts to fall, I turned my head revealing my neck to Kanato.

"So please, do what you want with me. I will stand there and wait for your sharp fangs piercing into my skin."

As wait for the impact to happen, I felt two arms wrapped around my body as I found myself embrace by Kanato with his teddy bear on the ground, I tilt my head in confusion.

"Kanato...why?"

I asked curiously as he stops hugging me to look me with such warmth in his purple eyes, he smiled warmly at me, but not a creepy or sadistic way, but an actual real smile.

"...Because you're different from other mortals Ebony, so why won't you believe me?"

"Because you and your brothers are vampires and all  you treat humans as preys."

I said as Kanato grips my shoulders tightly, I looks at me intently.

"We treat them horribly because we don't care about them especially when it comes to your older sister of yours until you came into our lives."

"...But, Kanato...why would you care about a gothic  freak like me? I'm nothing...but a creepy dark loving psycho!"

I said tearfully as I can't hold back the tears anymore, I felt a finger from Kanato where he caught a single teardrop from my teary face. He then smiled at me while staring at me intently.

"Ebony, you are not a psycho, you are not a freak. You are the most beautiful strong mortal that I've ever met in my whole life. All of my brothers love that about you, no matter what happens to you, you would always stay on your ground. Besides, you got us all shocked when you scared that girl who slapped you."

I chuckled when he reminded me about the bitch back in school, I then felt an arm wrapped around my waist from behind as I turned around to see Ayato smiling.

"Yeah, and oresama was impressed that a mortal like you would never do something like that, but I guess I was wrong after all. You really are a special mortal Ebony."

He said as I smiled warmly at them, Laito appeared behind me and he hugs me shocking me.

"Gah!"

"Yay Kuro chan is happy again!"

"H-How long have you been behind me?!"

I asked as he smiled cheekily at me.

"Since I get to see Kuro chan smiling again."

I laughed happily at his teasing while he's still hugging me, Kanato and Ayato started to join the lighthearted moment.

"I'm glad you're happy again Hime san."

Kanato said as I turned to him with a playfully glare.

"Hime? It's Ebony Komori."

I teasingly said as he smiled at me back, he replied again.

"No, you are Hime san because that's what you are a beautiful princess."

He said as I sighed, I lightly shrugged.

"Oh well, at least it's better than gothic bitch."

"Oi what's wrong with gothic bitch?!"

Ayato shouted as all of us laughed happily, I can see myself as a new person happy to live with the mysterious Sakamaki brothers.

You know what, living with the Sakamaki brothers isn't that bad after all.
