Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the OC, Guinevere DeRosa (and maybe another side OC or two later on). Also, the plot, though it will still follow the anime, will have my own twirk to it...cuz I'm awesome. So it'll technically/kind of be an AU.

A/n: I STRONGLY advise you to watch the anime before reading this. Seriously, you don't want to be a confused sheep, now would you?

Another point is that there is somewhat profanity throughout the fanfic. Just so you lively, younger readers are aware.

And lastly, enjoy~

Chapter 1

The moonlight sliced through the glass windows, illuminating a smooth, wooden coffin that laid against the wall on the far side of a dark, elegant room. The coffin held a purple shade, appearing almost black as rose-gold vines slithered around the coffin's boarder. White roses were spaciously scattered around the coffin, the petals trailing along the floor.

Suddenly, the coffin's lid shifted slightly. There was a moment of stillness before the lid was fully pushed to the side. A fair, slender hand positioned the lid so that it leaned against the outer side of the coffin.

The hand belonged to a beautiful woman as sat up unhurriedly. Her straight ebony hair casted a dark blue shade as it touched the moonlight, cascading smoothly in thick strands down her back to brush the coffin bed that bled crimson.

The woman's head was bowed, causing her wispy bangs to cover the upper half of her face. She gripped the coffin's sides as her mouth parted slightly, revealing sharpness of fangs that glinted dangerously under the moonlight.

"My bad," Sakamaki Shuu said, sounding anything but apologetic.

The platinum blond's red eyes filled with slight relief among the fear. Her heart was beating out of her chest as she sat there, vulnerable among the hungry gazes of six vampires. She saw something move out of the corner of her eye and quickly turned her head to see the redhead, Ayato, reaching towards her.

His lime-green eyes glittering with amusement. "Are you ready, Chichi nashi?" he said.

She watched as his hand came closer and closer towards her. She scrambled backwards and was startled when she hit something solid behind her. Her breathing quickened upon realising that escaping was futile.

The room began spinning, her head throbbing. It wasn't long before her vision went black, and the six vampires watched as her head hit the shelf with a thud.

"Look what you did, Ayato~" a male wearing a black fedora chided frivolously, placing a hand on his hip. "You made her faint."

Ayato was about to retort to his twin brother, Laito, when he suddenly froze. The other vampires seemed to have the exact same reaction.

"She…there's no doubt…" Shuu said, his eyes stony as they narrowed. His tousled, golden blond hair glowed under the moonlight as he angled his head. "…she's awakened."

"…Subaru, bring this mortal to her room," Reiji said from the wide, attic window, dressed in his usual, immaculate, black attire.

White, chiffon curtains fluttered on either side from where he stood as the youngest Sakamaki brother's expression morphed from anger to disbelief.

"Hah? Why should I?" Subaru protested.

"'Cuz," Ayato said. "you'll no doubt scare her with your wall smashing and stupidity."

"Like you can talk!"

"Shut up, both of you," Kanato said, hugging his teddy bear closer to him as his child-like violet eyes glared back and forth between them, the bags underneath standing out against his pale skin. "You're both wasting mine and Teddy's time."

Reiji pushed up the bridge of his glasses with a gloved finger, giving the lilac-haired boy a look. "That woman is probably tired, so I advise you not to disturb her for now. That goes for all of you."

"What bull—"

"Ayato," Reiji interrupted firmly. "I will tend to her with uttermost care, however, your presences would make it difficult to do so."

Kanato glared. "That's not fair. Teddy and I want to see her now."

Shuu cracked open one of his sapphire-coloured eyes. "Kanato."

The lilac-haired boy gritted his teeth. He vanished, though his eyes held a hint of obedience before he did so. The other four brothers followed suit, leaving Subaru to grumble as he hoisted the unconscious human in his arms.

…

Reiji allowed a smirk to adorn his features as his eyes fell on the frail woman in front of him. Her elegant, white dress was the same as that day, as well as her straight, luxuriant inky hair that fell thickly down her back. Her breathing was slightly rapid as her hand was splayed on the smooth, dark wall, supporting a portion of her weight.

"Oh dear, you look like quite a mess." Amusement laced in his tone as he spoke.

She spun, and her silver, slightly upturned eyes locked with his. A sense of familiarity flooded through him as he gazed at her fine appearance, from the flawless figure to the beauty mark underneath the corner of her left eye. Despite her being slightly out of breath, her eyes showed dominance. He admired that greatly about her.

A soft smile graced her lips. She then parted them, showing a hint of healthy teeth, and replied, "How smooth. I believe I just woke up after all."

She looked anything but bedridden.

Reiji walked towards her and handed her a wine glass filled two thirds in red liquid. Her eyes instantly glowed bright red.

"Where…did you get this?" Her voice was slightly strained as she asked.

"That does not matter," Reiji responded. He handed her the glass and a huff followed as he crossed his arms. "Do be grateful. I had to get my gloves dirty for that thirst of yours."

She flashed a smile at his slight childishness. She could feel his eyes on her as she gulped the liquid down hungrily.

Once she finished, she ran her tongue over her luscious lips. "More," she breathed. "please."

Reiji sighed and clicked his fingers. Immediately, an elderly butler appeared before them, holding a tray full of those identical glasses of liquids. She gulped them one by one, and let out a satisfied sigh once she finished.

Reiji took out a handkerchief from his inner blazer pocket and stepped closer to her. He tilted her chin up and began wiping a small trail of red liquid that dribbled slowly from the corner of her lip.

"Seriously, Guinevere," he began scolding lightly. "your manners suddenly became so deplorable."

"Well, you turn into a starving beast without blood for…" Guinevere paused, and her brows furrowed slightly. Reiji found this gesture adorable as he broke away. "…a very long time," she finished.

He hummed in agreement, folding his handkerchief as he spoke, "It has been more than three centuries."

"…Oh dear. It has been a while, then."

"Indeed. Is your thirst satisfied?"

Guinevere nodded. "Yes. My throat no longer feels like it's in flames. Thank you, Reiji."

A light blush rose up to Reiji's cheeks before he pushed it down with a cough. "Good. Now, please head off to rest. The others will not disturb you for quite some time."

The silver-eyed woman raised a brow. "Pardon?"

He sighed. "As much as how ridiculous that sounds, I assure you I am not bluffing."

"Reiji, I know you never bluff," she responded without hesitation, directing her warm smile at him.

His eyes widened at her compliment, and he was even more surprised when she reached up and ruffled his smooth, purplish-black hair. His head bowed as he tried to hide his sudden vulnerability. How he missed her touch so.

"…but really, those devils will not disturb me?"

He remained silent, partly flustered and partly unbothered to answer.
