Story Summary:

"Damn human, don't ask me why! You're supposed to be the one explaining it to me. This... This mundane feeling. I'd rather go kill myself than admit it. Or rather, I'll probably just kill you so it would go away." He does what he does best- being a jerk. That is why Yui is perplexed on how Ayato is becoming more and more, well... in love with her?

Night 1

"The Iron Maiden Substitute"

- Girl's Changing Room-

Yui wondered why her Physical Education Teacher thought that there was a need for his students to have swimming lessons next week, considering that classes were scheduled during the night.

'Sure. The Academy does have the facilities for such, but wouldn't the waters be too cold during the night?' She thought in vain. 'Plus, I'm a drowner rather than a swimmer.'

She pitied herself, remembering how she almost drowned about five times in her lifetime. The first incident was when she was a several years younger, when her father decided to take her fishing in a river somewhere.

Being the curious girl she was back then, she leaned too much away from the boat as she was fascinated by the fish that swarmed around when her father threw bait into the waters. She fell, but luckily, her dear father took her out of the water before she herself became dead bait for the river creatures.

Now the second until the fourth incidents were mainly caused by Ayato... when he deliberately threw her into the pool, pushed her into the lake, and submerged her too long in the bathtub.

"I... I better not be near waters when Ayato-kun is around." Yui shivered, much to her fear.

It has been a few months since she started living with the Sakamaki brothers. Her body had already grown accustomed to being nocturnal ever since Reiji had declared it imperative that she should adjust to their lifestyle as part of her duties as food supply for the vampire brothers.

But much to her disappointment, her body hadn't gone numb even after several attacks from her predators. In fact, her sensitivity and sensuality to touch had heightened significantly.

"What's wrong with me?" She shuddered.

"Yui-chan!" Someone called out to her.

"H-Hai?" She snapped out of her thoughts, as she turned to where the voice was coming from. "What is it?" She asked, as she found her girl classmate standing in front of her.

'Wow!' Yui almost gawked at the sight.

Right before her eyes was one of the most beautiful people she had ever seen. Kuroi Setsuna.

Yui doesn't always see her in class due to her idol career. And most of the time, Yui just stares at her from a distance whenever she attends school since Kuroi was mostly swarmed around by fellow schoolmates.

Just as her name implies (Kuroi = Black) her hair was the shade of the deepest ebony that fits perfectly with her pale skin. In contrast to Yui's eyes and chest, Kuroi had blue eyes and more blessed with respect to chest volume.

"Sheesh! You've been spacing out since awhile ago." Kuroi scolded her. "Aren't you going to take a shower and change in your uniform?"

"Ah, yes. I will in a little while." Yui weakly smiled at her.

"Oh, you better hurry and do so then. You'll surely be late for our next class, you know?" The girl said, before heading out of the girl's changing room.

P.E. had just ended and Yui still has 2 more classes remaining for the night. It wasn't that she was spacing out or anything, but she was actually waiting for her other female classmates to leave. She doesn't want them to see the marks which Ayato had imprinted on her body. It wasn't visible right now since she's wearing a shirt and sweatpants, but if she were to take them off, it would definitely attract unwanted attention.

After the incident with Cordelia, the brothers had been lusting over her blood more than ever... and Ayato was no exception at all. At every chance he'd get, he usually leaves bite marks and kisses on her body - a sign that she's already owned by him, and him alone.

Yui heard the first bell ring. The room was already empty so it was high time that she got into the showers and changed into her school uniform. By the time that the second bell had rung, Yui had just slipped into her skirt and was buttoning her blouse.

"Oh shoot!" She panicked, seeing how the buttons weren't in the right places. "I'm really going to be late!"

She then undid the buttons to redo them all over again. As her fingers were struggling with the buttons, she suddenly felt a light breath on her nape. She jolted at that and reflexively turned around.

But to her horror, she pressed herself against the lockers stuttering, "A-Ayato!"

"Yo, what took you so long? Chichinashi." He smirked.

"No, what... what are you doing here?"

"I got hungry, so I went to fetch you." Ayato leaned in closer and trapped her between his arms. "You ought to be honored that Yours Truly came especially for the likes of you."

"Y-You know you shouldn't be here!"

"Why so?" He frowned.

"Well, this is the girl's changing room."

"So? I can go wherever I want. There's no stopping me. And it looks to me that you're all ready set to strip." He remarked, eyeing her seducingly dissheveled top.

Noticing this, Yui turned her back on him and hastily buttoned everything up.

"Heh, so you want me to bite you on your nape, ei?" Ayato remarked, seeing the pale skin at the back of her neck.

"Ah no... no, it's just that... Ow!" Yui felt the painful blow when Ayato suddenly pushed her against the lockers.

"You talk too much for a mere bait. Guess I still have to remind you of your place after all."

"Ayato-kun... That hurts!"

"This will hurt more if you struggle." Ayato smoothly cupped her hair up to get a clearer view of her nape as he continued to press her body against the metal doors.

"No! Please... ow... someone might... see us."

"The students are inside the classrooms by now, and I've taken the liberty of locking the door so no one could disturb us."

"Ouch... but if you... you continue... we would probably be late for... for Takayanagi-sensei's... class." Yui willfully protested, as she felt her back almost to the point of breaking.

"What?" Ayato suddenly released her from his hands, resulting to Yui falling down on her knees. "You'd rather go to that teacher's lecture than satisfy Yours Truly?"

Yui just froze when she heard utter displease from Ayato's voice. She gained enough courage to look up at him, but all she could see was darkness in the way he was glaring at her.

"You're really getting cocky, aren't you?" Ayato smiled, but not in a good way. "Hm, what should I do? We're not in the mansion so I can't lock you inside the Iron Maiden... perhaps this will do."

He then grabbed Yui by the wrist and pushed her inside one of the lockers. To make things worse, he positioned a heavy closet to block the locker so Yui couldn't get out.

"Ayato-kun! Please! I'm sorry! Please open the door! Ayato-kun!" Yui used her might to break the door open, but it wouldn't budge even for just a bit. "Ayato-kun!"

"Shuddap! This is what you've chosen. Better stay there and reflect on your mistake."

Those were the last words she heard from him... before the dead silence, that is.

'Did he leave?' Yui couldn't hear any signs of his presence inside the room anymore.

"Ayato? Are you still there?"

She waited for a response, but no one answered. Just like a stray cat, Ayato came silently and left as he pleased.

Yui heaved a long sigh as she momentarily closed her eyes. She knew she was angry, and she wanted to vent it out.

"AYATO, YOU SELFISH BASTARD! I HOPE A BRICK FALLS DOWN YOUR HEAD!"

Her eardrums rang painfully after she screamed at the top of her lungs. The space within the locker was narrow, and any sound made inside it would easily amplify and echo. But she didn't mind a bit. She felt wonderful after screaming what she wanted to say. Plus, Ayato was nowhere near enough to hear that, so she wouldn't be punished for what she just did. Hopefully.

"Well, at least I didn't get bitten this time." She sat comfortably within the hallow space inside the locker. Good thing she was petite or this would have been a lot difficult for her.

"I hope someone comes looking for me." She worried. She didn't have any close friends to begin with. She feared other humans would get hurt if they came too close to her, so she kept a distance between herself and her classmates.

The only hope for her was the the school janitor. Someone usually cleans the room at the end of the night, when students had gone home from their classes.

So as of now, she waited. Patiently.
