"Hic...hic..."

My eyes...they're blurry with tears and it hurts all over after the bullies pushed me out of my wheelchair. I saw a small creature peeking at me curiously, but I didn't care and continued to cry. Night came and the fox disappeared and instead...a man with short hair and red eyes was there. He asked me a question and I don't even remember what my answer was...I just knew...knew that being with him was a thousand times better than remaining.

"Ah..." I woke up to someone shifting beside me along with groaning. "Hm...nyyuuu...?" I sat up, rubbing at my amber eyes sleepily. Long strands of chocolate brown messily fell to my hips and I looked around before my eyes settled on the lazy figure beside me. "Yori-san...it's morning..." I said gently.

"Hm...?" The figure turned slightly, red eyes piercing my own and I smiled at him. "Morning, 'Yuuka'." 'Yori' said with a smile.

"Sleepy...Yori-san, carry me to the bathroom..."

"No way. It's not like when you were seven when I could easily lift you with one arm. You're already 13, a young girl becoming a woman."

"..." I stared at him blankly. "Says the Servamp who keeps sneaking into my room to sleep!"

"It can't be helped." He got out of bed first, lifting me up easily. "You smell so similar to Sensei and I was tired."

"Hmph! Ah, that's right." He put me down on the chair in the bathroom, soaking a towel with warm water before handing it over. "Are the games beginning?"

"Yup! We just need the villain of the story to appear! The first Servamp, Sin of Sloth, Sleepy Ash to appear!" Yori laughed and I carefully scrubbed my face until it was clean. "This shall be the most dangerous thing ever, my dear. Are you prepared?"

"I was prepared the moment you gave me the name 'Tsubaki Yuuka'." I placed the towel on my lap, a smile never leaving my face. My smile remained, but I was often told my eyes were much too cold and empty. However, with him...with him they are always warm and filled with kindness, with love. "You went by the name 'Tsubaki' for a very long time, Yori-san. That's why your full name will become 'Tsubaki Yori' and mine became Tsubaki Yuuka. I am your Eve-to-be, but everything...my body from the toes to the tips of my hair...my soul...my mind...and heart is yours to use as you please. You never hurt me nor abandoned me that's why I shall do whatever it is you want of me. Even if you were to use me...to make me fight for your sake...even if you killed me right now...I will do it with a smile."

Yori stared at me blankly before reaching out quickly. His hands were on my cheeks and I stared up into those beautiful red eyes. They were filled with anger...ah...I must have accidently made him angry with my words. I do not mind though because I adore Yori with all my heart. Yori is my everything...my everything after he took me away from that horrible world I once lived in. Yori who gave me a place to belong...a warm home, a loving family, and a place to return to...no matter what.

"Yuuka. I do not like you saying such things. Value your life more." Yori said staring down at me.

"I live in a dream within a dream. A very sweet dream that is filled with warmth." I touched his hand with my own. "I cannot walk with my own two feet anymore...you are my everything...Tsubaki." I said gently pressing a kiss to his right palm.

"I know that, but you should value yourself more. You are my chosen Eve even if our contract has yet to be formed." I became disheartened at those words. Yori says that I have to wait until all the pieces are in play. If he became my Servamp then our range would be limited and he didn't want that...not until he needs me. "Do not be sad, Yuuka. You and I will be together forever, just like I promised."

"That's good. Ah, I want to go on a walk today. It's a nice sunny day and I want to enjoy it for a bit."

"Of course. Of course."

Yori helped me get ready for the day, brushing out my hair and pulling it into two very loose braids only done halfway with cute red ribbons. He had fun choosing an outfit for me and I smiled in amusement as a messy pile was formed in the center of the room...like every morning. We went with one of the usual outfits. A cute red dress with a high collar and short sleeves, the bottom of the dress has black lace. To go with the outfit are simple white and black striped stockings and black Mary Janes. Yori placed me in a wooden wheelchair that looked more like a miniature throne.

"Ah, good morning, everyone!" I smiled at the Subclass waiting for us in the living room. "How did you all rest last night, well I hope!" I said clapping my hands together.

"Good morning, Yuukachi!" An excitable Subclass with long pink hair came up to greet me. "You're as cute as always!"

"Oh, you are very cute as well, Belkia-chan!"

"Ojou-sama, breakfast will get cold if you do not eat soon."

"Ah, thank you, Shamrock-san! Your hard work is always appreciated." The cool looking man looked very pleased with my words. "Your food is always great!"

"...Morning...Ojou-sama..."

"Good morning, Otogiri-chan." I smiled at the usually silent woman. "Oh, your flowers are very pretty today! I think red is a very good color!"

"Thank you."

"Ojou-sama." I took a glance at the eldest looking man in the room. "I'll be your guard today."

"Oh! That's nice! Where shall we go today?" I paused, looking around the room with a confused smile decorating my face. "Is Sakuya-kun not around? Oh, wait, he has school doesn't he? How nice! How nice! I want to see if being a student is any fun!"

"You cannot!"

"No."

"Dangerous..."

"Yuuka."

"And let those unworthy bastards in your range, Yuukachi, no way!"

"Oh, I'm sorry." I smiled happily as they voiced their concern for me. "I forgot. Humans are so cruel...Isn't that right...Yamamoto..." I turned to the last figure in the room, the only one who is human among us aside from me. "Takeshi-kun?"

"That's right, Hime-sama."

"Oh! You haven't eaten yet, right? Please share a meal with me! You also attend school do you not? Is it not bad that you aren't there yet?"

"Hahaha! That's right, but it's bad if I left before Hime-sama woke up! I might get killed!" Takeshi laughed, but knew...knew that he'd be killed by everyone in this room if he acted out of place...not that he would do so after I had Otogiri save his life and bring him to me. "Hime-sama is my master so I can't leave whenever I please."

I smiled happily, giggling at his words. I saved Takeshi a few months ago when he was about to commit suicide after breaking his arm...everyone around him turned his back to him and I saw...saw those eyes that were just like mine...lost with no place to call his home. Otogiri saved his life for me, bringing him to me and I was the one who asked him to give up his life to me if he didn't want it...and he responded with a rather strange look, but gave it to me without hesitation. Since then, he's taken to becoming my strength since Yori didn't want to turn him into one of his Subclasses as he has his uses as a human.

"Breakfast was delicious, Shamrock-san." The man preened at my words and I stared at Takeshi. I pressed my index finger to my mouth, thinking. "Takeshi-kun. You shouldn't worry your father so much. Yamamoto-san is a very good man so you should attend school properly. Just make sure to come by once school ends. Ah! That's right. You have a cellphone now, right? Let's trade numbers and I'll give you a call when I wake up! Do forgive me if I call you during school, my sleeping hours always vary." I said clapping my hands together.

"Alright." Takeshi dug into his bag producing his phone. Belkia snatched his phone from him, quickly inputting several numbers and I knew that my number would be at the very top. "Huh?" Takeshi questioned staring at him.

"Belkia-chan is giving you my number and the number of everyone here. You're my human so that means you need these numbers in case of an emergency. Higan-san, will you please push me? I wish to escort Takeshi-kun out of the building."

"Very well."

"You don't have to do that, Hime-sama."

"Oh...?" I was a bit sad. "Do you not want to talk with me a bit more?"

"I do, but I don't want to trouble you. Hime-sama our precious princess, I don't want to make you seem like you have to watch over me."

"That's rude." My smile became cold and Takeshi broke out into a cold sweat. "You are mine, are you not?" I received a nod. "Your life is mine, right?" Nod. "You swore your life to me, right?" Nod. "Then you understand...right?" My smile disappeared as I stared into Takeshi's eyes. "As one of my precious people, as my human...I do what I want."

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! You're great, Yuuka! You're absolutely the greatest!"

"Mou!" I began to pout as Yori laughed. "I got a bit angry and you always react this way! You're so mean, Yori-san!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Hmph!"

I continued to pout as Higan pushed my wheelchair out of the room and to the elevator. Takeshi trailed behind and I quickly began asking him questions about how he is doing. Takeshi switched to a school nearby, one that didn't put pressure on him concerning his athletic ability and made sure he had good grades unlike his stupid previous one. It's too bad he didn't let me punish the 'friends' he had before...I'd love to have Yori turn them into Subclasses so I could slowly burn them with sunlight.

"Take care, Takeshi-kun!" I happily waved at him as he entered his school. "Come see me afterwards, okay?! We can get ice cream!"

I saw him wave back with a nod of his head. I dropped my hand and I had a cheerful smile on my face as Higan took me to a nearby park. I do enjoy sitting in a park surrounded by flowers. It's like being with everyone! Everyone is a member of the garden Yori made...that's why he gave me the name 'Yuuka' which means 'devoted', and 'flower'. He said that I was the 'princess' and that I was 'superior' so that means that his Subclasses who are all gifted with flower names are to be devoted to me.

"Oh...that's right..." I made a sound as I remembered an important fact. "Higan-san...I want information on all the current Eves. I want to create the 'chance' to become friends with them before we're enemies. It'd be so much fun, you know...to see how our bonds break because of my relationship with Yori-san." I said clapping my hands together.

"I'll do something when we return." Higan agreed gently patting my head.

"Yay! Higan-san, as a reward you can buy yourself some very good liquor on the way home! I want some snacks to share with Yori-san too!"

I hummed a happy tune as we returned home after a long walk. Yori was gone, as expected, as was Shamrock, also as expected, so that left me with Belkia, Otogiri, and Higan until they returned. Takeshi came by once school ended and I watched as Higan 'played' with Takeshi to train him in fighting vampires. Normally Belkia would play with him, but I asked Higan to do it since it's good to change your opponent once in a while. I would have liked to ask Shamrock, but the man might 'accidently' killed him. Shamrock doesn't really like Takeshi, something about his happy-go-lucky act annoyed him as it reminded him of a friend of his...one that he killed a few years ago. I remember it clearly because when he came back...he was a bit broken so it took me a while to fix him back up. It'd make me very sad if he died, as it would make Yori sad.

"Let's pay Rock-Paper-Scissors to decide who gets to fetch Sleepy Ash!" I raised my hand up with a happy grin. "I want to play with the cute 'kitty' too!"

That made everyone get angry with me for my bold and reckless words. I began pouting as Yori took to gently squeezing my cheeks, reminding me that I had a very important duty and that he doesn't want to risk putting me in danger. Sakuya, the normally lying liar that he is, would only agree with me because it made me happy, but even he was against me doing something so dangerous.

"I'm Who is Coming's future Eve!" I began to wave my fists around as everyone stared at me with concern. "I want to be useful! I want to help too! If anyone died...if anyone died..." My entire being shifted from my usual playful attitude influenced by Yori to one of a much darker nature. "I'll kill anyone who dares to kill our people...! Everyone in our little garden is so nice...so fun...we were all hurt...hurt so badly...that's why...that's why..." I said my mind becoming a mess.

"Yuuka!" I paused in my ramblings as I stared at Tsubaki. I blinked, not realizing tears were streaming down my cheeks. I rubbed them away before smiling happily. "Yuuka..." Tsubaki said again quietly as he stared at me.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I clapped my hands together. "What was I saying again? Ah, right, I hope that we all remain together forever. It makes me happy when we're together like a family. Anyone who ruins that shall be killed painfully, right?" I asked smiling a very fake smile.

One by one they each agreed with my words. Tsubaki especially as he lifted me into his arms. He carried me the room and I hugged him around the neck, burying my nose against the juncture of his neck. I don't want the garden to be ruined...but I knew it would eventually...because we all want to help Tsubaki achieve his revenge against the person who killed his 'Sensei'. Even if it costed us our lives, even if it hurt Tsubaki...it's because we love and adore him that we are willing to risk everything for his sake.

"Love you...Tsubaki..."

"...I know..."

Chapter 1 Ends

I got back into reading Servamp and I seriously love Tsubaki. So...a very pitiful child for a very pitiful Servamp. Yuuka is an adorable child who is devoted to Tsubaki and his plans. Tsubaki treats Yuuka carefully because he truly cares about her and for various reasons that will be hinted at, but not revealed until the time is just right! Yuuka has bouts of childish tantrums and the reason for her rather dark personality when her people are threatened are mostly influenced by Tsubaki, but there will be an explanation later on for her shifts in personality. She refers to Tsubaki by this name and Yori so it will alternate between the two based on her mental state. The darker she becomes the more she refers to him as Tsubaki. Yuuka will be Who is Coming's Eve for sure, but not yet. Tsubaki doesn't want to put her in that kind of danger if he can help it. There will be KHR points involved here as well, but for now it is mostly focused on the Servamp plot line. That's all for now! Until next time! Bye-bye~!
