Chapter 1

Author's Note: Hey so this is my first fan fic for Diabolik lovers so if I don't have the characters exactly in character I apoligize. I guess that's it hope you like it.

Yui's POV

Why? Why, can't I do anything? I'm just a blood pack to those guys sometimes...no that's what I am to them. My body slammed against the cold wall due to my stumbling around in the dark hallway. I couldn't think about anything else but the pain I felt. I should be used to this feeling by now, but I'm starting to think I never will be. I keep on wondering, when will this all end and when will I die? If I'm nothing more than just food to them then, why am I still alive? Snapping myself out of my thoughts, I glanced over at the window across from me. The crescent moon glowed through the curtain along with the stars in the sky. The sight helped relieve me from my pain. As I was realizing I had been staring off my grasp on reality began to loosen. Before I had to chance to fall, I felt a pair of small hands catch hold of my body. As my gaze moved to look above me my eyes met with a pair of dark blue orbs. "You alright there"?

It was girl, that I had never seen before. Rather than answering her, my eyes drifted off and scanned her facial features. Her hair was a little longer than my own, a few inches below her shoulders, it was a flaming orange color, almost identical to Shu's. Also, from what I could tell, she gave off the same cold aura the six Sakamamis gave off. That dark stare that could kill anyone if they desired to, the alluring beauty, and the lingering cold presence. It could have been because they were vampires, but something in my mind told me it wasn't just that. For someone to be like that, it would take a lot of sadness and pain to create that aura. She moved over to sit me down on the ground. Before I noticed, she leaned up to me and sniffed me.(AN:Just causal first meeting ya know)

She glanced up at my face with a half smile and grabbed my chin, as she was examining me she said."You must be her" she stood up and bowed "sorry about that. They were right" she paused and smirked "you smell... sweet". She finished with a cute smile and slight head tilt, while putting her hands in her pockets.

I shivered out of fear at her comment. Seeing my action, she let out a sigh. "Don't worry, I'm... different" she said slowly "compared to the others". I sighed again out of relief. I had no reason to trust her, but hearing her say that was the biggest comfort I'd been given in months. "Hel-llo, I'm Yui". I barely managed to utter without stuttering. She tilted her head once again at my response. "Nice to meet you. I'm Neo, the unspoken sister of Shu and Reji, along with being the half sister to the other four". I nodded. So, they are related. I moved my hands to push myself off the floor, but in the process I quickly fell back down on the floor, because of how weak I still was. "Do you need me to help you to your room? They must have drank a lot from you if you can't even stand up right". I didn't want to get caught in the halls by Laito or Ayato again, without much hesitation I slowly nodded my head and without taking a second to act, Neo placed my arm over her shoulders while holding my hand and placed her other arm around my waist supporting me as we walked.

After a minute or two of silence walking through the dark halls we finally arrived to my room. Using her foot, she kicked the door open with not much force. She's strong too. As we walked in she sat me down on my queen sized pink bed and walked over to my dresser. She looked like she knew her way around the mansion, so this isn't her first time here. I wonder why I've never seen her before then. "Why are you staring at me?" She said while looking through my dresser. "Am I that scary compared to my brothers"? She said in a slightly mocking tone. I was slightly caught off guard from the sudden question. "Oh-oh no. You just seem..." I paused thinking of a word to describe her, "different to them, similar and yet you feel, different." I chose my words wisely. I still didn't trust her after the few minutes we've known each other. "Why haven't I seen you before"? She turned around holding my pink night grown in her arms. "Well, aren't you a curious one" she said while flashing me a wink, as she placed the grown down next to me. "Well, let's just say, shit happens in life and me and those six...aren't as close as we used to be. That is if we were even close to begin with". She spoke the last part of her sentence with a slight frown on her face. Despite that she quickly shook her head and jumped up. "Anyway, I'll be back later. Good night Yui". She's interesting.

I bet they're all in their usual spots, so they shouldn't be hard to find. I walked into the living room and found Shu laying down on the couch listening to his classical music as always. Without hesitating, I walked over to where he was, and placed my head on the arm rest to get a clear view of his face. His hair had gotten longer than before, his stay hairs laid on his sunken eyes. He also, seemed to grow a few inches. His black pants scarcely showing his bony pale ankles. "Shu"? His eyelids opened slowly revealing his cold blue eyes. He took a moment to observe my face, closing them again he spoke. "What are you doing here"? I sighed and used my child like voice, which was something I would do when I'd ask for something from the family, or anyone. "Could I stay here for the rest of the month"? He opened his eyes again out of curiosity. I knew what he was thinking. He knew why I came, why I would come here, after all this time. "You'll have to ask Reji, but I couldn't care less". After hearing him I left for Reji's office.

I remember growing up Reji always studied, he spent most of his time in his room alone. He never came out for days, weeks even, he had always felt pressured, even now to. When I had finally reached the door I knocked and after a few seconds Reji opened it. He did the same as Shu, looking up and down my body as if he was analyzing me. He motioned for me to come in and he walked back over to his desk. His hair had grown and covered his eyes, and from what I could tell he seemed sadder than usual which wasn't that odd, at least for him. "I never thought I would see you again" he said, not taking his eyes off from the book he was reading. I looked down at the ground biting my lip "so, what do you want Neo"? I looked at him with a softness in my eyes. "Could I stay here for the rest of the month? I won't bother you". Reji and I were never close, besides for when I was a baby. Mother told me he played with me all the time, but something changed. A few years ago father invited me to live with him and after that I haven't spoken with any of them, not till now. "You may stay here, you can sleep in Yui's room". I bowed my head and left the room. "Thank you".

Having nothing else to do I walked back to Yui's room and knocked on the door. I heard a soft and calm "come in" . Closing the door I looked over at Yui, who was awake, but staring up at the ceiling. "They said I could stay here, but I have to stay in your room. If that's alright"? She sat up, looking at me in the eyes. I scoffed and sarcastically spoke " I won't drink your blood, if that's what you're worried about" I paused glancing up and down her body. "Besides, I'm not into girls and, you're not my type" I chuckled. She smiled and nodded. "I'd be happy to have you stay here". I smiled back. "So, I'll sleep under your bed cause sleeping with you would be a tad bit weird, at least for you, and I'd probably get killed for it" I chuckled under my breath "night". And with that I crawled under her bed and was out like a light.

...

That night I had a dream, it was rare for me to dream and they most of them were more like nightmares than dreams. I always felt like I dreamed because of my fears and insecurities. They would always remind me of the worst moments in my life. I've been told by others multiple times to see the glass half full, or to stay strong, it'll be over soon, but in truth that's all bullshit. Humans say shit like that to feel better but, I'm not like that. I'm not like my brothers either. I'm different. As I opened my eyelids I finally noticed how bright the sun was. My mouth felt bare and dry. I brought up my small hand and rubbed my eyes, trying to wake myself up. I climbed out from under the bed and glanced over at the clock. It read 4 o'clock PM. I turned over to the bed and there laid a sleeping blonde, named Yui. At least she looked peaceful in her sleep, poor thing. I left the room and walked over to one of the balconies. The wind was cool and calm as it brushed my hair off my shoulders and tickled my hands that rested by my side.

I wonder how father is reacting to my "disappearing"? I just needed to get away from that hell hole of a mansion. If I stayed there any longer I would have ended up in a human mental hospital, well too late actually. I should have just stayed here with my so called 'brothers' but, it doesn't matter, all I can do right now is run. Collecting all my thoughts at once I let out a sigh, wondering how I'm not anymore insane than I already am. I do know one thing, I'll never be like them, and I'm forever grateful for that. Disturbing my thoughts, I could sense someone behind me, someone tall. Out of instinct I let out a sigh and closed my eyes."How long are you planing to stand there until you come out, Laito"? He appeared behind the door and walked over next to me with his back against the railing. "What do you want"?

His smirk turned into a strait face. "Why are you here?" he pouted using a sad toned voice to mock me. "Things not working out in princess land with that bastard"? His strait face turned back into that twisted smile he always wore to piss me off. I looked over at him and smiled. "Did I ever tell you I missed you the least"? I said with a big smile on my face. He smiled back and walked over to the door. "By the way" he teleport-ed back behind me and whispered in my ear, as an attempt to scare the shit out of me. "Reji said if your gonna stay longer than your gonna have to go to school" he paused "and you'll be in Yui's, Ayato's," he smirked "and Kanato's classes". He pat my shoulder and chuckled in my ear. Laito, my least favorite half brother, you haven't changed a bit. When we grew up together, his favorite past time was tormenting me. Since I was the youngest and the weakest I was a perfect choice for him to...practice his skills on or just to piss off. That bastard.

..4 hours later...

In an hour they'll be heading off to school and yet Yui hasn't woken up.

Yui's POV

I rubbed my eyes to help them adjust to the light in my room. I looked over and saw someone sitting at the end of my bed on the right corner. "Who's there"? That person looked over at me. "What are you doing here"? They shrugged. "It's Neo hun. And I'm waiting for you to get up, I guess. Oh, by the way I'll be in the same classes as you, Ayato," she hesitated "and Kanato". Same classes? I tilted my head and asked her something that was bugging me. "Um, Neo if I may ask how old are you"? Her eyebrows raised as she made a thinking face. "Um, well I'm 16, I think. Why"? I shrugged my shoulders. "Just wondering cause you look a lot younger, than the others".

There it was again, the over whelming presence the other six gave off. She smirked "I'll take that as a complement". I'm even starting to see the similarities she has with her brothers in her personality. She smirks with the same twisted smile and she has the same messed up laugh as Kanato sometimes. Disrupting our 'talk', we heard a knock at the door. The person opening it was Reji. Obviously the only one that knocks in this house. The others either teleport in or creep up behind me. "Why are you still in bed? Get dressed" he turned to Neo "and you! Change of plans you'll be attending school for as long as you stay here. There's another uniform in the dresser". With that he left us alone. The next sound came from Neo getting up and walking over to the dresser and taking the new uniform. She sighed as she took in a view of the clothing. "Are you okay"? Not taking her eyes away from the cloth, she shook her head yeah. (Neo's thought) I thought I could just stay here for a little bit without seeing him, but now I guess avoiding him isn't an option I have anymore. She walked over to the door with the dress thrown over her shoulder with her pointer and middle fingers wrapping around the hanger that held the uniform. "I'm gonna go change". She spoke in the saddest voice I had ever heard.

I got up and changed out of my pink night gown and into my school uniform. I wonder what Neo is trying to avoid? Even if I just met her, she is the only one in this family that I have met that was even slightly nice to me. I hope me and her can be friends. Finishing up changing I heard another knock at the door. "Yes"? The door slowly opened and a cold aura filled the room. It was Kanato. He never came to my room before, must be important. "You smell it to, don't you teddy"? Is he talking about Neo, and is he seriously referring to her as "it". "Kanato? What are you talking about"? His eyes turned cold and dark. "You know who I'm talking about, that girl. I heard she will be staying here for a sort time, so I got curious. Where did she go"?

Fearing that he would come any closer to me. I said "no-o I don't know, she didn't sa-ay". I barely managed to speak, without shuddering. His eyes still contained the same coldness that always gave me a chill up my spin. "Alright then". He disappeared into the darkness of the hallway. I fell on my knees after he left, even just seeing him, scares me. Neo walked in moments after Kanato's exit and crouched down to my level, to reassure me some how. "Does seeing him scare you that much"? I nodded. Which didn't look like a nod cause my head was sagging and I couldn't see anything besides my legs and Neo's feet. "It's not just him. It's all of them" as I spoke tears rolled down my face, like the first drop of paint on a canvas. "Want me to stay close to you so none of them drink from you" she paused "and or harass you"? I raised my head. "You'd do that for me"? She smiled. "Yeah. What are friends for" she stood up and held out her hand "come on let's go if were late Reji will kill us both". I smiled feeling relieved and took her hand.
