"You haven't eaten very much, Bitch-chan. You need to eat properly or you'll become anemic, " Laito smirks at Rae, seeing her plate half empty. "Want me to feed you?" He stood up, ready for her abnormal answer, licking his lips hungrily.

Rae would rather him tie her down like a hog, pouring acid down her throat. Such thoughts made her insides quiver like a shaky treehouse. Everything within her was still dazed from the previous night. Oh, it isn't something she could ever forget. The first bite. Ayato had bitten her and it felt so...excruiating, she loved every second of it, well, before she passed out, that is. Before she could respond, she was interrupted.

"Laito!" Reiji boomed suddenly, sending a jolt through the raven-haired girl. "It's bad manners to get to your feet during a meal." He glared at his younger brother.

Laito, sarcastically, sits down with a frown. "Yes, of course, Master Reiji~" He then turns back to Rae with his flirtatiously sexy smirk, "We will continue this later, Little Bitch~"

"I look forward to it~" Rae wanted to say, but she couldn't help that she forgot something important. Although she felt like her mind was punishing her for some reason.

Hmm...What is she forgetting?

"What a pain." Shu had suddenly spoken up.

Hm? Rae glanced at the eldest Sakamaki. He sat hunched in his chair, arms folded over his torso, eyes closed and a neutral frown.

"How rude, " Reiji suddenly speaks up, "Nothing good will ever come of those who grow up spoiled rotten."

Rae had no idea what her vampire captor was talking about, perhaps it was better to stay confused, like a sad little puppy. But then, she realized, Ayato was not at the table. How unfortunate. Reiji sounded as if he wanted to punish, and Rae dismayed she was not in his punishable thoughts.

"Teddy bear?" Her attention was averted to Kanato, who held his stuffed bear in one arm and with the other arm, he tried to eat with. "What would you like to eat next? How about a banana snowball?" He grunts as he has trouble with cutting his food which turns into mad laughter as he continuously begins to stab his plate.

Rae envied Kanato's food. She very so wished to be the very thing being stabbed. She ended feeling herself glaring at the nearly demolished food.

"And he won't even make the effort to attend. How selfish of him, " Reiji says finally before looking at Rae coldly. "That will be all for today."

"Hm?" Rae returned Reiji's stare.

"One moment, " He said, "Your table manners are deplorable. One of these days I will have to..." Watch your words, Reiji, he tells himself, "Discipline you." He says after a short pause. "Understand?"

Rae blinked. She felt herself smile. "Wouldn't dream of breaking rules, Reiji-Kun~"

In her room, Rae had finally figured out what she had forgotten. She had forgotten about her hygiene! What terrible memory she has! Here she was walking around probably smelling like a swine!

The raven-haired girl peered at her reflection, fluffing her inky tresses and tracing her eyebrows. Her hair could use a good washing, her skin could use a good cleansing. She didn't want her vampires to be displeased with her looking like a hobo crashing in their manor. She frowned disapprovingly at herself.

"What are you doing?" The familiar voice of Ayato sounded out.

"Grooming my vanity." Rae merely answered leaning back in the vanity mirror chair. "What are you doing?"

Ayato smirked at Rae's nonchalant response, "I want to suck your blood."

"Oh?" Rae said, looking at Ayato from the mirror. "Mind you, and I would love to donate, but I need a bath."

Ayato laughed at Rae's words, and then he snatched Rae from the chair, she made no struggle or wiggle to get out of his hold. He went to bite her, sinking his fangs into the same place he previously bit her. Rae winced once, but her pain turned into a big red blush.

"A-ah..." Rae moaned a little.

Ayato retracted his fangs from her neck, licking his lips of her blood, "I'll save the rest until your done with your bath. I don't wanna have to deal with you passin' out on me again."

Rae entered a glorious and grand bathroom. She had a towel and a change of clothes draped over her left forearm.

"Shu?" She quickly takes notice of the eldest vampire brother sitting in the tub, may I add it was full of water? He still was fully clothed.

"Keep it down..." He chimed monotonously. "Not so loud. I'm just having a bath, that's all..."

Was he doing this to try and take advantage of her? Rae raised an eyebrow. Of course, she was very masochistic, but sex was the last thing on her mind when she wanted to be in pain. Besides...

"You're still dressed."

"Alright then, undress me." The vampire said, unmoving.

Undress him? As much fun it would be, Rae just wanted to bathe and get back to Ayato, where she knew he would inflict terrible pain upon her body.

"..." Rae didn't say anything.

"Hm? Didn't come in here hoping to see me naked?" Shu peered at Rae with an eye ajar.

"I mean, it would be nice to have a different picture playing through my mind, but I just came to bathe," Rae said bluntly.

"You want to join me?"

Rae's mind swirled wildly. He wanted to do things to her, she knew! Her nerves tingled excitedly at his sudden offer.

"Perhaps another time." Rae bit the inside of her lips, her mouth suddenly going dry, she slowly approached the tub, "I want to use the tub now, could you---" SPLASH!

Suddenly, Rae was yanked into the tub, she dropped her belongings to the bathroom floor. She was now propped against Shu's wet chest, which her hands wrung into messy creases. Rae shivered, feeling the cold water Shu seemed to be sitting in. She felt goosebumps erupt across her thighs and arms. She found herself staring into Shu's baby blue eyes; their faces were very close.

"You're blushing, you know?"

She made this observation. The brothers were...well, brothers, but they all were so different, er, in appearances. She voiced her thoughts unintentionally.

"We have different mothers."

"..."

"Reiji and I are from the same mother, " Shu began lowly, "Ayato, Kanato, and Laito are triplets from a different mother."

"I hadn't the slightest idea." It made sense now. Rae wondered if they got their diabolic personalities from their absent parents? "And Subaru?"

Shu sighs, "He's also from another mother."

Suddenly, Shu grabs Rae's soaked hair and pulls it away from her neck, eyeing the side that was untouched. He bares his fangs, grazing the flesh.

"Ah!" Rae tenses from the sudden, arousing contact.

Acute pain quickly shoots through Rae's body as Shu's fangs tear through her skin. He wraps his arms around her, bringing Rae's body closer to him. How badly he's wanted to do this since she came to the mansion! She tastes just as delicious as she smells.

Rae's face burned red, she clenches her teeth and bites her bottom lip at the same time. Her toes curled as well as her fingernails scratched against Shu's chest.

"Sh-Shu!"

"Let me...drink your blood." He comes up for air, it seems. The blonde says, "Are you frightened? Your skin is awfully pale...I bet if I bit you, you'd spurt out red blood like a geyser. Heh, " He sees the other side of Rae's neck. "Did Ayato do that? He's such a possessive freak."

"I didn't think you were any different from your brothers, " Rae felt a little exhausted, a little light-headed from her blood being sucked.

"Make no mistake, " He begins, lowering his face to his fang markings, never ceasing hold on Rae. "I am a vampire, " He licks his bloodied lips. "I will show you a new way of thinking." He sharply breaths in before hotly breathing out, "Your blood is hot...I could get burned. You're getting excited?" Shu took quick observations of Rae's arousal, the ghost of a smirk playing against his lips. "What a sick girl you are. Your temperature is rising now that my fangs are on your neck."

Sad to say, Rae wasn't the least bit of offended, because everything he said was true. She liked the pain he put her through. The cold bathwater felt so good against her skin.

"M-mmm..." She grunted, only peering at Shu through one open eye.

"I know why you came here now. Your blood is of the finest quality, " Shu let Rae go. "Think twice before reaching out to me again. Never forget."

Oh, but how could she forget?

~

"Melons, you're late! I'm thirsty!" Ayato wasted no time in pouncing Rae as soon as she waltzed through her bedroom door. "Let me suck your blood now." He demanded.

Clean, dressed in her pajamas, and a little woozy she was, Rae was still hot. She had never experienced anything of what Shu had done. It was a cold, magical moment. He gave her pain. And, oh did it feel exhilarating.

"Hold it, Tiger, " Rae would very much so do anything be in more pleasurable pain, but if she let her blood get sucked again, she probably would be fed to the wolves! "I think I've given too much blood tonight..."

Ayato didn't listen to her. He grabbed her from behind, swatting her hair aside, "You have no right to refuse to me. Just submit to my feeding." He goes to sink his fangs into her neck, but he stops, noticing two new fang marks. He quickly concluded these marks weren't from him.

Rae was shocked with little sparks of heat that flashed through her neck and side.

"What is this?" Ayato glowers darkly. "Reiji?" He thinks aloud, "No...it must be Shu's."

The night ended with a game of aggressive dart playing (mostly Ayato) and unfair bets and Rae as a tokened prize (Laito's doing).

What a boring end, sorry. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and that it entertained you. I'll try to be back with the next chapter as soon as I can.
