The Sakamaki brothers were unhappy. Despite being the sons of the Vampire king Karlheinz and having almost everything they could've ever wanted, they were very unhappy. The eldest Shuu, aged 11, was arguably the happiest of the six brothers. For he at least had an escape, that being his human friend Edgar. Everyday after his lessons with his mother Beatrix, he would run to the underground waterway, or their seceret base as they called it, to play and forget about their troubles for at least a little while. For Shuu, those moments were what kept him sane. It made him want a taste of the world Edgar called home.

One evening after dinner, Shuu was perparing to sneak out to go play with Edgar again.

"Just where do you think you're running off too?" a voice from behind said in a stern, supsious tone. Shuu froze and spun aroud; coming face-to-face with his five younger brothers. Reiji, aged 10. Ayato, Kanato, and Laito, the triplets, aged 9, and Subaru, aged 8.

"Um, just out for a walk..." Shuu started, in a very unconvincing tone, but he stopped when he realized that the other five werem't buying it. Ayato, the oldest and most confrontational of the triplets stepped forward.

"You're sneaking out to go play with that human aren't you? Don't even bother trying to deny it, Reiji told us everything." Ayato said in his mocking, cocky tone. Shuu looked down at the floor, dismayed. His cover was blown. Any moment now his mother would storm into the room to scold him, possibly even drag him to the punishment room in the basement, a fate usually resereved for Ayato from his mother Cordellia.

But to his suprised, that didn't happen.

"Hey Teddy, don't you think it's unfair that Shuu-san gets to go have all the fun?" Kanato said as he held his teddy bear, Laito agreed.

"It's true Shuu-kun, how mean of you to keep all the fun to yourself while your poor little brothers stay home and suffer." Laito said in his sing-song voice. Shu was confused, what was their end-game here?

"So what exactly do you guys want? I don't understand."

"Simple, we want to come with you."
